Chapter 697: The so-called preparation
Punk and Kane's journey doesn't require much preparation, for example, the resolute spellcaster only needs to take one or two Legendary Alchemy Elixir after canceling the projection to leave the Faeron plane and go directly to the meeting place.
It's not because the punks don't want to have more hole cards, it's because ...... Aside from the few flasks he had, he had nothing more to carry as a "hole card".
And Kane's so-called "preparation" is even simpler, this poor ghost knight who can only use ordinary gold as a building material for even the palace is more aware of it than the caster who also owns a mage tower, for him, the "preparation" before any adventure is just to put on the decorative armor, lift the riding spear with a layer of "legendary sharpness" barely attached, and finally shout "Uncle Ben sees, Uncle Ben arrives, Uncle Ben conquers"............ Then a "just go" trip can begin.
Do you need something else? Kane would have liked to have a few bottles of potions with him.
But it's a pity...... He didn't.
Poverty is a terrible thing, and the bottles and cans in Mr. Instant Gun's storage ring are just ordinary spices for picnics, and at most a can can can work wonders to fool people during battle.
But the knight, who never took chances in battle, certainly didn't expect such a thing, and he brought these spices with him simply to satisfy his appetite at any time.
That's all the mage and knight have to prepare, the front foot meeting is over, and the back foot has already quickly set off to gather and go to the destination together.
With the astonishing speed at which Legendary Spellcasters and Legendary Knights are unbridled in the astral plane, it doesn't take long to fly from the Faeron plane to the not-so-distant "relic plane".
But...... That doesn't mean the adventure can begin as soon as the two legendary pros arrive, as Kane and Punk still have to wait for a teammate to drag their feet – "Smile".
Smile wants to participate in this adventure with some troublesome steps.
Unlike Whispers of Destruction and Instant Kill Gun, Her Majesty the Queen of the Red Sands is not a freelance Legendary Professional, but a god!
As a god, if you want to let the body leave the kingdom of God, it is not enough to open a portal and then swagger out, in the rules of "priesthood", any god who voluntarily leaves his kingdom for any purpose must pay a price that is enough to make the god feel painful, and the length of time to leave will determine the amount of "price" to pay.
These "costs" may not necessarily bring benefits to the "priesthood", but they can definitely bring harm to the gods.
For example, the gods of the general evil camp need to pay a large amount of divine power and five percent of the believers he has to perform blood sacrifices, so that they can be allowed by the priesthood to leave their kingdom for a period of time.
To put it bluntly, this "necessary price" is a restriction made by the "priesthood" in order not to let the gods easily leave their cages, and the smile of being a new god is certainly unavoidable.
Don't get me wrong, "Smile" really doesn't have a normal divine kingdom now, and the divine kingdom that she was supposed to inherit from the previous "Red Sand God" has been taken away by Kane.
But...... The absence of a normal kingdom of God does not mean that a god can be free, after all...... In addition to the "normal" kingdom of God, there is also an abnormal kingdom of God that can put shackles on any god.
When a god is in a state of "no kingdom" for some reason, the priesthood will automatically draw the god's divine power to generate a new "temporary kingdom".
The "Temporary Kingdom of God" has all the disadvantages of a normal Kingdom of God - for example, it can limit the freedom of the gods, it can greatly reduce the influence of the gods on the multiverse, and it can increase the efficiency of the priesthood to erode the will of the gods............
But it does not have all the virtues of a normal kingdom.
Defense? non-existent! Any legendary-level spell can blow up the film of divine power of that "Temporary Divine Kingdom".
Concealment: It's all up to luck, finding a remote place to park and praying not to be targeted is the only way to hide the "temporary kingdom of God".
As for the comfort level...... If someone really likes the kind of "simple big square" without any buildings, flowers and trees, and you don't get tired of living in the "big square" for 10,000 years, then this cheap accommodation should be barely comfortable.
The "Temporary Kingdom of God" is such a funny thing, and "Smile" is now a "poor" god who inhabits the "Temporary Kingdom".
It would take some time for her to get out of the "soap bubble" where she lived, and it would take some time to call on the believers for a blood sacrifice, and it would take energy to strip off a large amount of divine power, and after completing these two steps, her body would descend on a large blood sacrifice altar, so Punk and Kane had to wait for some time to "smile" at their destination.
Wait for her "Red Sand God Cult" to complete the blood sacrifice............
In this process, the only place that can save a little time is that if there are many altars of blood sacrifice, then the god has the right to choose which altar he descends from, and "Smile" has many believers in the plane where the ruins were discovered, so when the cumbersome blood sacrifice is completed, she can directly reach her destination through the legendary magic of "Ontology Descent".
But even so, Kane, who had already reached his destination, had already begun to wait impatiently.
In fact, at this time, Punk and Kane had already entered the small plane where the "Great Arcane Ruins of the Netharil Era" were located, and now the two of them were staying on a mountain peak not far from the ruins, waiting for the "smiling" believers to set up the altar.
One by one, the punk, who never wastes time, is unleashing prophecy spells to probe the fluctuations of the laws in the nearby area, while the bored Kane is unhurriedly smearing a skinned rabbit with salt.
Legendary professionals don't need to eat to replenish energy, but this obviously doesn't affect a foodie to catch an ordinary rabbit barbecue and eat it as a legendary powerhouse.
In fact, in the past few days of waiting, Kane has tasted all the delicious "game" on the entire mountain, and none of the wild boars, wild wolves, wild dogs, wild brown bears, and wild pangolins have been left behind, and the direct result of eating enough barbecue meat is ...... Now an ordinary charcoal-grilled rabbit can't stop this chatter knight's complaint.
