Chapter 13: Sauron's Gift

Time spanned to March in a blink of an eye.

There are only a year and a half left before the Sage Havoc begins, and only about twenty months before the fall of the Goddess of Magic.

Sauron always felt that something was chasing him, and even though he was walking fast enough, he still felt that there was not enough time. Especially after the news that the vampire god son had defeated the Church of Dread, the sense of crisis in Sauron's heart became stronger and stronger. According to the original historical trajectory, it should be the fear witch Lilian who woke up, and then she took control of the Fear Church, and finally set off a tragic killing. But now that the Church of Dread has become a vampire god, a killing catastrophe seems to be on the horizon.

Vivien was sent back to the overseas archipelago.

Sauron couldn't risk her fear divinity further awakening, because as the boundaries of the plane became looser and looser, the high-level demons had at most half a year before they could break through the plane barrier and enter the material plane. The devils have appeared, and they have bewitched the mortal elites to provoke wars, and the arrival of high-ranking demons is only a matter of time. During this time, the number of demonic followers in the material plane has become more and more frequent, and there are certain evil organizations that perform forbidden sacrifice rituals.

Comparatively speaking, the south coast, which has just experienced a war, is quite calm.

The news from all sides is not very good.

Signs that the orcs have moved south, the half-bloods and half-orcs have launched a raid, and internal friction has increased in the human principality, and even the Duchess of the Red Dragon, who had just fought Sauron, is involved in the war to suppress the rebellion. It seems that since March, the contradictions that have accumulated over the past six months have erupted, and wars have broken out in at least seven places on the entire continent.

News also came from Fallen Leaf City.

Sauron had heard that the god of the half-elves had disappeared, and that priests who believed in him could no longer access it.

He didn't quite remember where the god had fallen to the mortal world, but he did remember that he had died in the dark realm, and with the fall of this weak god, the world's attitude towards the gods gradually changed.

………………

The eastern route is normal.

The mission of the Warrior Monk Monastery is to suppress the ancient evils, at least before the Demon Legion brings in the destruction of Miè. Many powerful warrior monks have lived in seclusion all over the world.

It's their tradition!

It's like the boxing master that Sauron met, he should be practicing somewhere at this moment.

The Eastern Route is to supply the consumption of monasteries, and cultivating warrior monks also requires a lot of resources, and many secret methods need to be exercised with expensive medicinal materials.

Sauron is still measured.

Because he is a person who keeps order, it just so happens that the warrior monk is also a person who is in the camp of order, and both of them attach great importance to order and rules.

The person in charge of the East Coast is the Half-Elf First Officer.

He is a ruthless and decisive person, and nothing will happen in a short period of time if he is in charge of the eastern route.

So.

After entering March, Sauron prepared to return for a trip to the overseas archipelago.

He had to make the next step of preparation, and the foundation of the overseas islands was for further planning, and further planning would definitely be against the Divine Sage.

Even if it is not in conflict with other gods. Sauron's battle with the Dreadgod was inevitable.

He died.

But it's not dead yet!

All Sauron needs to do is fear that the Demon God has fallen completely, and that he can no longer threaten Vivien's safety.

There are four elemental crystals.

Earth Elemental Crystals are near the Elven Realm, Water Elemental Crystals are in Ice Realms, and Fire Elemental Crystals are in desert areas. The approximate location of these three places was clear to Sauron, except for the last gas elemental hedron that was only known to be in a very dangerous area.

This is a chain quest on Legendary difficulty!

Sauron's acquisition of the Earth Elemental Hedron was entirely a ploy, and he still remembered the gigantic rock giant that burst out from under the Elemental Altar when they finally left.

That's the real Guardian!

When the four Elemental Crystals are combined, the level will be further increased, and the final will have a summoning spell that is close to the legendary level.

- "Elemental Legion! ”

At that time, the completion of this task was piled up with heads, and a total of three regiments of high-ranking professionals were killed. With Sauron's current strength, he should be able to try to do it independently.

After all, his equipment far exceeded the level of the time!

The destination of the first stop is the Ice Country, and the situation in Arendelle seems to be a bit bad, and Sauron plans to go over and take a look.

He's a guy who values commitment!

The altar of the water elemental hedron is only about a hundred kilometers away from Arendelle, and there are quite a few active ice trolls nearby. He was going to cross the Northland to get there, passing through Arendelle on the way. Then the next stop is the Death Desert, the first goal is to get the fire elemental crystal, and then find a way to obtain the wanderer's artifact [Anti-Detection Cloak].

This is the core equipment against the Sage!

As for the last elemental spar. It may be necessary to go with Golia and the others, because that place is a little dangerous.

Sauron alone copes with the possibility of capsizing in the gutter.

Collecting four elemental hedrons unlocks a seal, rewarding you with a Godhead shard. If you also have divinity, then the ultimate effect is to transform someone into a demigod!

Whether it is Vivien or the current Sauron, they can use this godhead fragment to advance to become a demigod.

Therefore.

Sauron was a muster for this Godhead Shard, as it was one of the few ways he knew of to obtain a Godhead Shard without having to slaughter Godhead.

Let's be honest.

Even if he united everyone now, he didn't have much confidence against a god saint with weak divine power.

Because demigods and above are immune to the legendary spell [Time Stop].

Without Vivien's special move, time stopped, and the success rate of confronting the Divine Sage began to plummet. This point is the same with the god-slaughtering spell 'Ma Yofu Micrometeor', after all, this spell can only help them break the law protection of the gods, and cannot directly kill those saints who are incarnated by the gods.

………………

Returning to the overseas archipelago again is very different.

The Port of Modor has doubled in size, and two more unfinished buildings have been added to it, the Temple of the Sea and the Temple of Fortune. Both churches seem to be competing in secret, and the materials used to build the temple are extremely expensive, and many of them have to be transported across the ocean from other places. People are sometimes realistic that the more majestic the temple, the more likely it is to attract believers. Follow this pace. It is impossible to build a temple without a year or two.

Merchant ships from the City of Fortune have approached, and trade in the overseas archipelago has attracted many.

Especially now that land wars are becoming more and more severe, overseas routes help to expand the influence of the goddess of wealth in the field of trade.

The city of Modo is still the same as it was.

It's just that it's a little bigger, and at the same time, green shoots are popping up in the southern part of the farmland, and spring wheat has been planted, so this year's harvest will be self-sufficient, if not a bumper harvest.

Sauron has a lot to do in a short period of time, but no matter how many things are, they have to be done step by step.

In the afternoon.

Groups of slaves were gathered, and the city of Mordor now had nearly two or three thousand slaves.

Sauron stood on a high platform and looked down at the slaves below, then nodded to the red-haired female pirate next to him. Nearly thirty slaves were then brought out.

"I'm a person who values commitment."

Sauron looked down at the slave in front of him, and he was also looking at the others, his gaze swept over the drow elf warrior next to him, and he could feel that the other party was avoiding his gaze, because he was very dissatisfied with the internal behavior of the drow elf some time ago.

Smack.

Sauron walked up to the slaves, and at the foreground were two slave brothers who looked a little bit alike, the same people Vivien had saved in the first place.

"Those who work hard should be rewarded, and I am not a stingy master."

Sauron stared at the slaves, their expressions a little panicked. Only the first two brothers were surprised, for Vivien had promised a reward for some of them.

"As your master!"

Sauron looked down at the thirty or so slaves and said in a deep voice, "I grant you freedom!" Starting today, you will be granted the status of a resident of Modo City, owning your own home, property and family. ”

"Someone!"

"Untie their shackles!"

An exclamation rang out.

The black slaves present all raised their heads involuntarily. An expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

Are they free?

How is this possible!!

But the next scene made them realize that this was not a joke, as the nearby City Guard unshackled the thirty-odd slaves and threw them one by one the crudely made linen clothes. Except for the two brothers standing in front, the other slaves were still uncontrollable surprises. Because they didn't expect Sauron to grant them freedom.

Those who were given freedom were meek slaves.

The vast majority of them were from the mainland, and only three were indigenous slaves.

The so-called freedom is not to be left to their own devices, they are only given the status of the inhabitants of the city of Modo. Then they had a house, property, and the right to start a family.

These men still had to work for Sauron.

Except that they did not have to be crammed into stinking cages, nor were they whipped by their guards, they were able to earn their own private wealth while living a life far superior to that of other slaves.

Freely?

Relative freedom is also freedom.

Sauron had given them the greatest boon, so they should not think too much about it.

"Take them down."

Sauron turned to look at the red-haired female pirate, and said in a deep voice: "There is a housing arrangement for them in the north, and they will not have to work with other slaves from tomorrow, those who have special skills will be assigned to other places, and those who do not have special skills will be arranged to work in the port." These two men were gifted with farming, and they were put in charge of farming. ”

Slave.

Population.

There is still a bit of a difference between the two.

Sauron's next step was to convert the slaves of Modor into a population, of course, docile slaves, and those natives who were difficult to discipline naturally had drow elves to deal with them.
