CHAPTER XXVIII
The deep waters are as transparent as a giant crystal. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Well, that's not quite true, first of all, the water here is not seawater but fresh water, and secondly, because there are too many bubbles in the water, too much turbulence, and most importantly, because of the lack of light, it is full of eerie feeling, it really doesn't look like crystal.
Sui Xiong sighed and silently announced that his efforts to adjust the atmosphere had failed.
After wandering around in this dark deep water for almost half a month, even he felt bored. However, boredom is boredom, and I can't stop doing business, so I have to try to enjoy myself.
Facts have proved that Brother Xiong is not talking about stand-up comedy, he can't do it regardless of the serious direction, lyrical direction or comic direction.
He couldn't even amuse himself.
"Elemental Heart...... Where can I find it?"
Sui Xiong muttered to himself, following the map drawn in his mind, cruising without hurry.
As he cruised, he maximized his detection abilities, trying to search for any possible clues in his surroundings.
If you draw the map in his mind, you will find that his entire trajectory is a set of spirals, turning in circles and circles, slowly expanding the detection range from the inside to the outside, and leaving nothing to be missed, as if it were a posture of "drawing a map".
It's a stupid idea, but it's a helpless choice.
The water elemental plane is full of chaotic waters, with neither mountains nor walls. The landmarks here are warm currents, cold currents, rapids, turbulent currents, huge whirlpools, bubbles, hot water, cold water, salt water, fresh water, poisonous water...... If there is no definite goal, even the most powerful god can only spin and turn like a headless fly like him.
In fact, there are currently nine others who are spinning like this in the water elemental plane like a headless fly.
Ariel, the goddess of the sea, and the eight kings of the seas under her command.
After all these years of preparation, Ariel has almost built her own kingdom of God. But he wanted to make the kingdom of God a fortress that could be both offensive and defensive, and in order to do so, he needed to add some powerful and unique facilities to the kingdom. One of the most important is the "Water Element Pool".
It is a special magical facility that can transform the power of magic into mysterious elemental activity, giving life to ordinary water, making it transform into water elementals, and can also promote the growth of ordinary water elements by consuming divine power, and quickly grow into elite creatures, and even if they are willing to consume some more divine power, they can also help those elderly water elemental elders break through the bottleneck, step into the legendary realm, and become elemental lords.
As for going further into the realm of demigods, it can only be fate. If there really was any definite way to cultivate a demigod powerhouse, the king of the four elements would have already become the undoubted strongest of the powerful divine powers, where could he wait for him Ariel to build some water elemental condensation pool?
In the previous generation of the goddess of the sea, there was no water element condensation pool in the kingdom of the sea, and he built the entire kingdom of the gods into a fortress, and then used the divine power accumulated every day to either strengthen the defense or use it to stir up storms indiscriminately - the tyrant of the sea, the lord of the storm, the master of the storm...... A number of such designations speak for themselves.
Ariel is not as ridiculous as Furpecus, and he has received many of Philpocus's legacies, including the lessons that Ferborcus learned when he looked back on his life on his deathbed. For the next god of the sea, Furpocus instructed him not to expand the priesthood indiscriminately, never to expand the faith casually, if he must expand the scope of the priesthood and faith, it is recommended to adopt the method of wooing the gods, first, he can have the most reliable allies, and second, he can greatly reduce the danger of being controlled by the power of faith, and avoid his previous experience.
In view of Furpocus's advice, Ariel put herself in the right position from the start. He positioned himself as "the god of merfolk, the mediator of the seas, and the leader of the seagods", and divided the storms, waves, sea fog, and even the seas into the demigods and even legendary powerhouses of the sea, promising that as long as they were willing to live with other sea tribes according to the rules of general peace, he would give them shelter and guidance, and help them mediate conflicts when needed.
At first glance, this priesthood may not seem powerful, but the gods will never underestimate him. On the contrary, more than one powerful divine power has extended an olive branch to Him, expressing his willingness to enter into a covenant of friendship and mutual assistance with Him, or at least to live in peace.
Although Ariel's divinity may be slower than that of Furpochus, his divinity will be unusually strong and condensed, and there is absolutely no need to worry about being polluted by faith. Not only that, but as he becomes stronger, sooner or later, a group of sea gods will gather under his command to form a sizable god system.
The shortcomings of such a god system are also obvious, and the lack of high-end force is its fatal wound, after all, the strongest in the entire god system is Ariel herself. Lovely Lier's own combat power is limited, but she has a ridiculously strong "mentor", and this mentor and his good buddies combined, it is likely that the top three of the powerful divine powers directly account for two - maybe the champion and runner-up.
With the two strong backings of the Void Mask and the God of Justice, is it still a problem to have high-end force or something?
Including Ariel herself thinks so, he has positioned himself as a mobile fortress that can retreat into the "sanctuary" at a critical moment. The core of the fortress needs to be highly mobile, so that if necessary, all the faithful can be moved in, and then the unimportant corners and corners will be thrown away at a speed that will jaw the enemies.
As for those unimportant corners and corners, they will all be transformed into countless water elements by Him in one breath. As for how the enemy should deal with these thick-skinned and stalking, that's something the enemy should be worried about.
In order to achieve this, he needed to build not only the Water Elemental Concentration Pool, but also what was probably the largest Water Elemental Concentration Pool in the world to date - after all, He was going to turn most of the Divine Kingdom into countless Water Elementals at a critical moment......
Making the water element condensation pool a little bigger has another benefit. That is, if the battle is not particularly intense, the needs of the "cannon fodder" level can be met by creating the water element alone, and there is no need to send too many oracles.
It is true that the oracle can be resurrected, but the resurrection of the oracle requires the consumption of divine power. If you calculate carefully, using the water element as cannon fodder is definitely much more cost-effective than using the divine angel as cannon fodder.
This is Sui Xiong's suggestion, and he tends to use elementalized troops, for example, in several major battles, he used elementalized mass-produced divine envoy cannon fodder legions, for what?
Thousands of divine envoys rushed forward with hulala, and the successive servants were martyred, which looked very powerful, but behind them was like flowing water, but it was all precious divine power!
In contrast, elementalized troops can absorb elemental power to grow and resurrect, although the single force is weaker than the divine envoy built by pure divine power, but the quality is not enough to make up for the quantity.
As it turned out, his idea worked very well.
That's why Ariel wants to build a huge pool of water elemental condensation, and also build such a cannon fodder army for herself that is so large that it makes the enemy's scalp tingle.
Of course, this thing is not only used in wartime. It can be used to cultivate oracles, or it can be used to create the weaker water elemental and act as a handyman in the kingdom of God.
As for the defect of low intelligence of elemental creatures, it is not a problem - it can be that the believers can act as commanders, with good brains responsible for giving orders, and bad brains responsible for execution, division of labor and cooperation.
Overall, Ariel's design is very good, and it can be used for both war and peace. The only problem is that it would take a staggering amount of materials to build such a massive water elemental condensation pool.
It's not just the usual materials, but the most troublesome thing is the Elemental Heart.
To be right, the heart of the water element.
The origin of this thing is simple - if a water elemental dies, then it is possible to create a water elemental heart in its corpse.
The problem is that, in general, elemental organisms do not have the concept of "lifespan".
They also grow, getting bigger and stronger. But in any case, they don't die with aging.
It is said that once an extremely powerful mage imprisoned the weak earth elemental and used a powerful magic array to make it age. Nearly a thousand years have passed, and the mage himself is dying of old age, and the earth element is still about the same as when he was first caught.
If you want an elemental creature to die of old age, you must first give it a "lifespan". It means pushing its limits – in other words, stepping into the realm of legend.
Unlike normal creatures, elemental creatures that enter the Legendary realm will instead have a "lifespan".
It's good and bad, but if given the chance, there is hardly an elemental creature that will refuse to step into the Legendary realm.
It is true that that will cause them to lose their near-eternal life, but even elemental beings with relatively low intelligence know that in this world, it is generally not lifespan that determines how long a person can live, but strength.
Elemental creatures without strength don't know how many they will die every day. And the elemental lords who step into the legendary realm may not die a year.
Not to mention, "becoming stronger" is the innate nature of all living beings, and no one is an exception!
Once an elemental creature enters the Legendary realm, it is able to grow into an Elemental Lord. A lowest-level elemental lord can probably live for tens of thousands of years, and if he is lucky enough to die, he will leave an elemental heart.
...... It would take about a hundred of these elemental hearts to build the giant water elemental condensation pool that Ariel had designed.
So, take your time. (To be continued.) )
