Chapter 41: Mission! (4000 word chapters)
Mithril?
As if thinking of something, Sauron immediately took out a piece of silver-white metal from his extradimensional space.
This is the trophy he once obtained, from the laboratory of a demigod lich, Mithril is a very high-end alchemy material, and many legendary spellcasters will stock up on a little. However, this amount is usually not very large, and the piece in Sauron's hand does not seem to be small, but in fact it may be less than 100 grams. In one sentence, Mithril is 'as light as a feather and as strong as steel', and even diamonds are far less expensive than Mithril in the Dark Regions.
"Do you think this is enough for a while?"
Sauron handed the Mithril in his hand to Goliath in front of him, and said slowly: "I'll be able to get the rest right away, give me about three days." ”
Goliath reached out and took Mithril and said, "That's enough for us for a week." ”
"There are also some leftover materials in the Arcane Tower, so it's no problem to finish the large floating ring at the bottom first. However, if we wanted to make a real floating tower, we had to build a medium energy protection enchantment. ”
Floating islands don't fly to be considered successful.
An Arcane Floating Island comes with a number of facilities, including ranged strike weapons, melee defense golems, and energy protection systems.
Once the floating island flies, the wind is particularly strong.
If nothing else, it's just a strong wind in the sky, and if you don't have the protection of an energy shield, then your hairstyle for the day is basically doomed.
So in order to protect your hairstyle, the Floating Island also needs at least a windproof enchantment.
Energy Protection Enchantment.
This Modo City already has the corresponding technology, and the energy shield above the city is an example, but it is the power of the Grand Temple.
Now all you need to do is transfer the energy supply to the Elemental Forge Forge instead.
"Hmm."
"I'll leave now."
Sauron has always been in pursuit of efficiency, and after explaining the rest, he immediately opened a portal to the mainland.
The only way to get Mithril is to go to the Dark Regions.
But.
The dark region is not so easy to visit, and the drow elf Sauron is not afraid to provoke it for the time being, because the spider god queen has now come down. If you run into it, it will really pour blood mold for eight lifetimes. So the persimmon can only pick and pinch softly, Sauron's target is the gray dwarves of the dark region, as early as the last exploration he found the city controlled by the gray beard, this gray dwarf city has a Mithril vein underneath. If you calculate the time, the artifact-level 'Mithril Chain Mail' they made should be almost finished.
Sauron was going to see if he could steal it.
As for the frontal hard anus, it is impossible, no matter how strong the sage is, there is a limit, if he is surrounded by a group of gray dwarf mages, he can definitely be consumed alive.
………………
Meanwhile.
On the third level of the bottomless abyss, the long-dormant Gurumba Arena suddenly moved.
This time since.
Although the Gurumba Arena has changed to a demon lord, the outside world does not know much about it. It hasn't changed much, that is, there are more neutral demons in the vicinity than before. The Gurumba Arena has done business in many places in the third layer of the bottomless abyss [Forgotten Lands], and even the civil war between the two secondary demon lords some time ago paid for the demon mercenaries from the Gurumba Arena. Now that the bloody war is almost over, many of the demon mercenaries are accepting other orders.
This time the action at the Gurumba Arena was huge.
Not only did the [Decapitator] Sauron's personal guard come out, but even the nearby demon mercenaries also acted with them.
Sauron's target is a secondary Soul Judge Lord.
In the second wave of the Sage Tribulation, many secondary demon lords have carried out tentative attacks on the material plane, but the strength invested by everyone is different. And the secondary demon lord of Sauron's attack this time is the guy who teleported his army to the material plane in large numbers during the second wave of the Sage Tribulation.
This secondary demon lord is not lucky!
He teleported to the vicinity of the Elven Forest. Although he obtained a lot of loot, he was quickly counterattacked by the Elven Ranger.
In the end, the demon army he brought out was almost completely wiped out, and his own doppelganger was also killed once.
This demon lord's territory is very close to the Gurumba Arena, so after learning the news. Zoro immediately gathered his army and launched an attack on the Soul Judge Lord.
At this time, if you don't destroy the other party and take the opportunity to expand your territory, are you still waiting for him to recover his strength?
The bottomless abyss is cruel.
Since he dared to run to the material plane to plunder, he had to be prepared to be destroyed by the other demon lords if he failed to plunder.
"Your Excellency!"
"The army has been assembled! The Assassin - Caron has been sent! There will be news back soon. ”
The goblin demon warlock Trubie followed Sauron with a flattering face, and he was supposed to be one of the best high-level thugs in Sauron's brain. Therefore, his status has improved a lot faster than that of other high-level demons recently.
Zoro has been recruiting his men all this time!
Now, he has a powerful assassin under his command, and this is an even more dangerous existence than the legendary wanderer. If it weren't for Sauron's strength being strong enough, I am afraid that he would not be able to suppress him at all.
"Hmm."
"Excellent! You go and prepare the portal! ”
Zoro looked up at the sky and said in a deep voice, "We're going to launch a surprise attack when it's dark!" ”
Standing beside Zoro are two glamorous high-level succubi, one is the proprietress of the Crucible Tavern, and the other is a high-level freshman succubus who has recently been recruited. I heard that this newborn succubus is quite favored by the demon lord - Zoro, and her status has skyrocketed after just one sleep, and she is already Sauron's right and left hand, and she is still above the succubus boss who followed earlier.
Originally, it was nothing.
But what makes people feel strange is that the succubus, who has always liked to compete for favor, did not have infighting this time, and the succubus boss lady actually had no temper at all in front of the new favorite of the demon lord - Zoro, and seemed to be completely willing to live under the other party. This couldn't help but make the other high-level demons amazed, and many high-level demons looked down on this newborn succubus because of this.
As a rule-oriented Gurumba Arena, many succubi have recently gathered in this direction due to the chaos of the bottomless abyss.
Because the Succubus Queen has disappeared.
The Radiant Nuns who lead the succubus legion in the bottomless abyss seem to be caught in an infighting, and the succubi without strong protection can easily become a wealth to compete for by other demon lords.
Therefore, many succubi in the Forgotten Lands want to find refuge in the Gurumba Arena.
Now there are almost fifty or sixty succubi in the territory.
The Sage Havoc is an opportunity.
This opportunity is not just on the material plane. Similarly, the bottomless abyss has infinite possibilities.
Failure to attack the material plane would mean a terrible price, and this loss in the fiercely fought bottomless abyss meant that it would become a prey for other demon lords.
Zoro didn't think about attacking the Material Plane from the beginning to the end.
He was waiting for the second wave of shock to come, and at that time, there would definitely be demon lords who would fail, and these losers were the ones he needed to eliminate to preserve his strength.
………………
South Coast, Land of Narod.
Located more than 100 kilometres from Port Taylor, it was once a rich part of the South Coast region, but is now in ruins.
It was a marginal territory of the Duchy of Rossad.
The Duchy of Rossard is currently under the control of the Duchess of the Red Dragon, and although she has lost consecutive wars against the Pirate King Sauron, this does not mean that she is not strong enough, but that the legendary Pirate King is simply terrifying.
Naturally, the Sage Havoc will not be open to the Principality of Rosad.
In the midst of the second wave of shock. The Duchy of Rosard also suffered heavy losses, and although the Duchess of the Red Dragon continued to fight against high-level demons, many towns in the Duchy were razed to the ground. Now that all parts of the mainland are in ruins, the Principality of Rosard has no time to pacify the mainland, and naturally no one cares about these marginal areas.
Narod was thus forgotten.
The devil is not the culprit who brought them destruction, but the traces of the devil hidden in them are the real culprits!
The town was destroyed.
Although the holy warriors of the [Burning Heart] have saved many people, the holy warriors are not the protectors of the world after all, and after destroying the remaining demons, these holy warriors with lofty ideals are still recalled by the church.
The demons have been destroyed.
The devil is also out of sight for the time being.
But left behind a devastated homeland. It is still up to these survivors to rebuild. The paladins could protect them, but the Church was powerless to provide relief to the victims, and the Principality of Rosard was in turmoil, leaving it with no energy to care for these poor people.
Thereupon. These survivors have encountered new survival problems in this time of scarcity.
They are short of food!
To live is to eat, and to live is to have a future.
Night falls.
In the darkness, two figures were approaching the sea.
"Is this it?"
One of the handsome young men looked left and right. Said slowly: "The church said that there are believers of evil gods in the vicinity who are spreading their faith. ”
"These wicked people must be judged!"
Paladin.
And also a young paladin.
Whether a paladin is old or young is not at all judged by their age alone, it can be judged by the tone of their voice.
"Shh
"Don't alarm the enemy. We need to look at it first. ”
"Because in addition to the Demon Lord [Dagon], it seems that the followers of the Sea Goddess have also been active in the vicinity recently."
It was a middle-aged priesthood who spoke.
A person who dedicates his life to the gods is often the kind of person who will never marry a wife and have children in his life.
The two gradually approached the seashore.
Immediately afterwards, they saw a bonfire lit, and there were many people sitting nearby, and they could smell the smell of food from afar. Next to the fire was a beautiful woman in a priest's robe, and nearby were patrolled by warriors with grim expressions. Something seemed to lurk in the waters farther away, and that aura made the priesthood feel very dangerous!
"Disaster has struck!"
"Our world will face a demonic attack! Only the goddess of the sea can be sheltered! ……”
"The sea has endless treasures! ……”
"Food! …… Wealth! …… Status! ……”
"Your nobles don't care if you live or die! …… Your kingdom has forsaken you! …… Those seemingly glorious churches don't care about you at all! …… They usually have your offerings, but now they are watching you starve to death! ……”
"The goddess of the sea is merciful! ……”
"She saved you from the terrible demon [Dagon]! …… Now I give you food! ……”
"Just devout faith and service to her! ……”
"Then the goddess of the sea will give you everything you want! ……”
………………
"Look at the nobles who rule over you! …… Think of giving up your kingdom! ……”
"Only the goddess of the sea has taken you in! ……”
………………
A burst of muffled voices came, and some of the refugees gathered around the campfire fell into deep thought, but more of them stared at the cauldron in front of them.
Kelp, fresh fish, a lot of fish were boiled in it for a long time.
The prolonged starvation had left the refugees with no energy to think so much, and if it weren't for the fear of the patrolling samurai, they would have already started to fight.
The mission continued.
The robed priest in the center kept talking about how the nobles, the church, and the kingdom were vile and shameless, and at the same time constantly proclaimed the benevolence and greatness of the goddess of the sea to the victims.
At the same time, the name "Dagon" was mentioned continuously, which made many nearby victims show fear.
"These damn cultists!"
The young paladin looked angry after hearing this for a while, and seemed to have a posture of wanting to rush out, but he was quickly stopped by the middle-aged priest next to him.
"Don't be impulsive." The middle-aged cleric shook his head.
The young paladin seemed to listen to him, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "Then let's go back and report this matter to the church immediately?" ”
The middle-aged priest looked into the distance when he heard this.
A large group of yellow-skinny victims gathered around the campfire, and some of the surviving children were already skinny, and there was a hint of pity in his eyes, and he said slowly: "No need. ”
"The church is guarding against the demon lord [Dagon]."
"It's not the right time to go to war with the goddess of the sea! …… And, even if we defeat them! …… What about these refugees? ”
"Who's going to help them?"
"The Church is no longer able to help the victims of the Jinan coastal area! ……”
"Ugh."
"It seems that the goddess of the sea is only trying to spread faith among these people, not to spread evil, chaos and murder like Dagon."
"The most important thing for the Church at the moment is to exterminate the demonic cultists! ……”
"These victims will not starve to death if they are taken in by the Ocean Church, and if there is a demon attack in the future, the Ocean Church will also protect these poor mortals."
"It's better than starving them to death! ……”
The young paladin froze in place.
He felt that the priesthood in front of him was speaking very reasonably, but it seemed to be a bit contrary to the teachings, because the goddess of the sea was an evil deity.
For the first time, reality, ideals, and beliefs clashed violently, and the young paladin didn't know if the elder he had always respected was right, so he felt that his mind was very confused at the moment.
********!
His past education was being undermined by reality, and for the first time, he knew how to compromise.
Compromise with evil for the sake of justice!
His heart is in turmoil right now, and if he can take this step, he may become an old holy warrior and the most solid force to protect justice.
But if he fails, I'm afraid he will be lost in the faith!
