25. Marking

West of the Jordan River, east of Jerusalem, twenty kilometers above the Dead Sea. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

It's a petite oasis like a growing girl, stubbornly clinging to the underground waters of the Jordan River against the cold and heat of the desert.

This oasis is not recorded on the military map of Jerusalem, but it is known to some of the soldiers who were wounded in the defense of Jerusalem.

"This oasis will exist until the waters of the Jordan River are dried up. Its meadows and fresh water attract nearby animals, and the wide woods have more plants than Jerusalem! These old, weak, sick and disabled people who are willing to live with Li Kuan told him so.

After three days of walking, when food and water were scarce, Li Kuan stood on the sand dunes and saw this oasis of life in the desert.

Thousands of followers of the Holy Light rushed wildly from the oasis to the oasis, ignoring the feeling of hunger, dipping their heads into the lake and gulping down the water.

The surrounding animals fled in panic because of the large-scale movement of humans. The believers, who were too full of water to move their breath, just let the food run away from them.

Unlike the believers, the elves, who are little experts in life, flitch their wings through the woods, investigating the actual situation of this oasis. The Thunder Elemental and the Wind Elemental, on the other hand, used their characteristics to hunt some large and intimidating animals to ensure the safety of their followers.

The most tiring thing is the doctors, who have just arrived at the oasis and have not had time to clean up the dust on their bodies, they start to check the physical condition of the injured patients, how many people need to stitch up their wounds again, how many people have to arrange rest, etc.

Also tired were Li Kuan and Tom Riddle, who paid attention to the security situation along the way, and after arriving at their destination, they relaxed and sat on the grass to enjoy the lake water and wild fruits picked by the elves.

The feeling of sour and astringent berries exploding on the taste buds made Li Kuan can't help but squint his eyes. He only tasted a few of them, and then he didn't want to touch them again.

It's too sour and astringent!

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ According to the reports, the underground veins are indeed connected to the Jordan River. In other words, we can rely on the water of the lake and use magic to force the surrounding land to green, stabilizing the passage of the underground river veins. Theoretically, it could be built as a base. After a spout, an elf reported to Li Kuan after he stopped eating.

"What about the downside?"

"Without the presence of water and earth, there is no guarantee that the Jordan River will have a normal supply of water after the dry season. There is no guarantee that after the high tide of the Jordan River, it will not be followed by the high tide. ā€

Water element and earth element, Li Kuan couldn't help but roll his eyes, it was already a big surprise to be able to get the Garden of Life and the Air Altar, he didn't think that he still had the luck to encounter such a dilapidated external system waiting for him to obtain.

Godfather Tom Riddle watched Professor Quirrell chew the berries and said to Li Kuan with a satisfied smile, "That's already good." Perfection only exists in fairy tales. With the help of these little guys, I believe we will soon be able to build the City of Light. ā€

"That being said, it's never a good thing to have hidden dangers...... By the way, godfather, don't you eat berries? Professor Quirrell was almost finished. Li Kuan glanced at Professor Quirrell and said.

Godfather Tom Riddle said without any further thoughts, "Because two people share the same body, I can understand the feeling of him eating berries." And after the cool flesh passes through the stomach, I can also feel the coolness, and I don't have to experience the sour taste. ā€

Li Kuan glanced at Professor Quirrell with a slight sympathy and said to Godfather Tom Riddle, "Then we're sure to build a city-state here?" ā€

"Agreed! We need to take the seeds of the trees, cut them all down, and pile them up as wood. Professor Quirrell looked up with a whimper, "There are still some basic structures to be built, such as houses, churches, walls, and so on. The only good thing now is that we have enough manpower. ā€

"Speaking of manpower." Godfather Tom Riddle looked at Li Kuan strangely and asked, "Didn't anyone tell you that as a wizarding leader, you need to design your own emblem and sign the corresponding conditions?" ā€

Alas? Emblems and conditions? Li Kuan was a little confused, no one had ever told him that wizards needed these two things to build an organization.

Needless to say, looking at Li Kuan's forced look, Godfather Tom Riddle knew that he really didn't know anything at all.

So he spoke, "In my free time, I'll tell you about the emblems and conditions. ā€

"As we all know, in the wizarding world, Dumbledore and I both have our own emblems. My Mark of the Dark and Dumbledore's Order of the Phoenix. ā€

Li Kuan nodded, and Tom Riddle's godfather's dark magic mark was a huge skeleton, and several giant basilisks roamed among its facial features. And Dumbledore's Godfather's Order of the Phoenix is a flame and a phoenix, which is the consensus of the wizarding world.

"It's a mark, but in fact, it's a broken retinue contract." Godfather Tom Riddle continued, "The remuneration chosen by the signatory, after being agreed to by the signatory, forms a mark. You can't betray, you can't get rid of it, and even if you die, you will be taken away. ā€

"That's a good idea." Li Kuan listened with a little interest, and his sitting posture was not as lazy as before.

"Draw up a servant agreement in your mind, and then imagine your badge to your liking. It will take care of the rest. Godfather Tom Riddle said seriously, "The only thing you have to pay attention to is its detail and practicality, this is not a novice level magic like levitation, a person only has the right to make a badge once in a lifetime, once decided, there is no chance to change it." ā€

Li Kuan nodded, and Godfather Tom Riddle told him the point of the marking magic.

As Tom Riddle's Godfather said, the mark is an incomplete minion magic that can force a creature to work for him, but there is no way to control the creature's mind and mind, and can only threaten it with torture and death.

This is not only a little worse than the Holy Light contract signed by Godfather Tom Riddle and Professor Quirrell, but the benefits are also clearly visible.

The amount is large, there is no need to consume magic power sources, spiritual power, etc., and you can directly put the seeds of holy light into the mark, and when the believer is promoted, the ritual is eliminated and automatically integrated into the body.

Under the command of Godfather Tom Riddle, Li Kuan constructed the first mark of his life, a pair of wings made of light elements, and underneath it was a Valkyrie.

Due to the peculiarities of magic, Valkyrie, built out of the air, wields wings and swords just like in the game.

At the end of the day, Naru was not chosen as a sigil. Li Kuan's heart still felt that as a holy light close to human beings, Nalu's appearance really had no sense of substitution.
