Chapter 21: Awakening (I)

In the blink of an eye, another half a month has passed.

Since Sutum killed Taban in Storm City and subdued Soth in Holy Mountain City, the entire Xilin District and even the entire outer ring city of Sisos have been calm and peaceful. It seems that many forces have reached an agreement in secret, at least until there is no concrete information about the so-called fetish, to stop all fighting in order to preserve their strength.

Contrary to the other forces, Sauron, under the instruction of Sutum, continued to move, defeating and merging four outsider forces one after another, and became the head of the forces in the Outer Ring City.

At least one-third of the territory of several areas of the Outer Ring City fell into the hands of Sauron, if it weren't for these territories and forces that needed to be digested, and Sutum didn't want to directly arouse the suspicion of the angels of the Inner Ring City, I am afraid that even if he continued to expand his power, it would be unknown to unify the entire Outer Ring City.

With two [Prophet]-level powerhouses in charge, plus several [Hero]-level powerful warriors, their power has even surpassed some ancient Prophet families. Even in the Inner Ring City, on the surface, only the family of the City Lord of Sisos can match.

With such strength, he really has the qualifications to rule the Outer Ring City.

However, Sutum did not want to rule the city, but to build a city of his own.

Flo's cigarette ball was absorbed by Sutum, who again obtained a lot of the information he wanted. This information includes the types of demons, their abilities, their growth, the rules of survival, and some information about the wastelands and cities. Flo is a demon after all, and these materials are undoubtedly more in line with Sutum's needs than what Huron Ding provided to Sutum.

Sutum's idea of building a city was triggered by this information.

For demons, once their strength grows to the peak of the lower demons, they need to build a city of their own to strengthen themselves and break through to the rank of the middle demon.

In fact, not only demons, but even human beings, if they are lucky enough to become prophets and want to go one step further and become immortal angels, a city that belongs to him is also essential. It doesn't matter if the city was built by oneself or inherited from one's ancestors.

Although Sutum is still some distance away from the peak strength of the lower demon, he is not too early to think about taking precautions.

The establishment of a city is not simple, and several conditions must be met. First, a city protection circle is needed, which has the effect of accumulating strength, detecting and sensing the aura of wasteland monsters, protecting the city, and so on. In the event of a massive attack by evil spirits or a tide of wasteland beasts, the circle is set in motion to protect the city. At the beginning, the red light angel made a big move to destroy the evil spirits in one fell swoop, and it was with the help of the power of the magic circle.

Both of them need to have the power to manipulate the circle, which can be a prophet, an angel or a demon. The stronger the power, the better the effect.

Three, there need enough living beings. Generally speaking, this creature is a human being. Without a sufficient number of human beings, the city would lose half of its meaning to the owners of the city.

For now, Sutum only has the second requirement. As for the city protection circle, it is available in various cities, and there are also in the so-called [Black Tower], but it is extremely difficult to get hold of. At the beginning, the Distenny family had a blueprint of the magic circle, but unfortunately after the decay, it was secretly taken away and disappeared without a trace.

The third human source is generally the inhabitants of the cities attracted by the ranks of the city builders with their prestige. The higher the prestige, the more people it attracts. For Sutum, if he can increase his prestige, it is naturally best to attract people, but if not, forcible looting is not unavoidable.

The road is to walk slowly, but in the end, the more well prepared, the smoother the walk.

......

In the study, Sutum held the silver-white serpentine strange weapon he had asked for from Soth, his eyes flashing with black light, and rows of data flowed endlessly in his pupils.

This weapon is a weapon created by the divine craftsman of the Holy Mountain City, Helatu, who imitated the ancient artifact [Thunder Scepter], the [Lightning Sword]. Although it was only an imitation artifact, its power was extremely powerful, and the silver-white electric light emitted could attack miles away. If the electric light is condensed, even if it is to kill angels and demons, it will not be a problem.

Even if Sutum showed his true demonic form, he couldn't face its edge directly. It was precisely because he sensed the power of this weapon that he would use tricks to win the battle with Soth, using the reflection of mirror light.

This [Lightning Sword] is also the first real artifact that Sutum has come across, and it contains the concept of "lightning".

"If you use the Demon Reincarnation Technique to fuse this artifact with someone, you may be able to give birth to a demon who is responsible for lightning. Unfortunately, I haven't studied the Contract Scroll well enough to control demons, so I wouldn't have been able to give it a try. ”

Sutum had such a thought in his mind, but he quickly gave up on it. After receiving a lot of information and re-enacting his own experience of becoming a demon, he already has a thorough understanding of the art of demon reincarnation.

The essence of the secret art of demon reincarnation is to use the power of the demon circle, using the soul as fuel, to temporarily beat the artifact back to the state of the original [concept egg], and fuse this egg with the human body, turning people into demons.

In this process, the soul of the recipient is semi-separated from the consciousness, and under the effect of the circle, the soul is turned into fuel. The pain is intense enough to break any strong person. Once the consciousness collapses, the consciousness and personality of the newly born demon will most likely have nothing to do with the original owner. Moreover, this demon will madly hate everything of the original owner because of the painful memories of his body.

If Sutum uses this [Lightning Sword] to create a demon, I am afraid that he will become mortal enemies with him just after birth.

"It's a pity that the secret art of forging artifacts is the foundation of the survival of the god craftsman Heratul and his family, not to mention Soth, even the city lord and angel of the Holy Mountain City, they can't let him hand it over, let alone me, a little demon. ”

"Moreover, there are all kinds of problems with this secret art, otherwise, according to Soth, Heratul is nearly sixty years old, and after spending countless materials over the years, he can only create two artifacts. ”

Sutum touched the [Lightning Sword], felt the thunder light emitted by the sword body from time to time, suddenly closed his eyes, his mind entered the spiritual world, and began to digest all kinds of data and information obtained from his body.

With a mirror eye and the ability to analyze all things, he can at least see 30% of the secrets of this sword.

In the spirit world, Sutum turned into his original form, and a [Lightning Sword] that was exactly the same as the outside world appeared in front of him. With his thoughts, the sword spread out layer by layer, revealing the textures, materials, and structures inside, and projecting these data and patterns into the void of the spiritual world.

I don't know how long it has been.

The entire void of the spiritual world is densely packed with the information of this sword.

With a "ding", all the information suddenly turned into a cloud of black light and threw it into the crystal on Sutum's forehead.

Sutum's mind withdrew from the spiritual world, opened his eyes, his eyes were dark and shiny, and he said to himself: "Through this [Lightning Sword], I can be regarded as spying on the trajectory of a trace of Helatu's secret arts. You can't make artifacts, but you can make weapons with supernatural powers. Hehe, if I continue like this, I may really be able to create the profession of [Alchemist]. ”

In this world, only some long-standing divine craftsmen can manufacture supernatural weapons in large quantities. Even angels and demons don't have this ability.

Sutum relied on his mirror eye and talent for analyzing all things, and mastered this skill, which can be regarded as the only one.

However, it can only be convincing if it produces results.

As soon as he thought of it, Sutum packed up his study and prepared to go to the warehouse to pick up some materials and start his own attempt.

Before he could go out, he sensed that Soth was guarding the door of the study.
