Chapter 41 Hearing the Wind and Descending
The next day, after Ebon's army marched into the city of Droplik, the town of Ballina became an uninhabited town with all the buildings basically intact, but fortunately, all the souls were fully utilized, so that there was no fear of corpse mutiny or resentment due to being too close to the battlefield.

Li Chenglong, who knew that the plague was breaking out in Droplik from the tongue he caught yesterday, left his attendant Li Dequan to restrain the Guge giants, and rushed to Droplet Rick City with the army of Shogues alone.
The Ibonn Human Army, who saw the full appearance of Shogues for the first time, felt that those ancient leather giants who chewed people as snacks were quite cute. The Frank pirates guessed that Shogues must have come to Brown City from the sea like himself, and the thought of driving a wooden ship at sea to face the pursuit of this kind of sea monster-level guy was just beginning to sprout, and the small flame of stealing the ship to escape from Li Chenglong's command was extinguished.
In order to keep his hard-won reputation as a hero, and draw a line with a guy like Xiugus who is a monster no matter how he looks, Li Chenglong avoided human settlements as much as possible along the way, and when he encountered villages that could not be avoided, he also did not mercilessly connive at Xiugus to erase these places from the map, and the few soldiers who remained in the village and were faster, as well as the spellcasters who lived in seclusion near the village, all died on the Ring of Dongdongbo or Futagua. The gemstone timepiece has thus added another piece of bracelet.
After avoiding Foam Rick's satellite town of Castle without danger, Li Chenglong floated alone in mid-air outside Droplet Rick. The commanders of the defenders were two warriors of the Fiona Warriors who had been left behind due to illness, and they knew some of Lee Seung-ryong's information, so they were mentally prepared for someone to move freely in the sky out of thin air. But the soldiers, who were already on the verge of despair because of the plague, did not know this.
The soldiers spontaneously left their posts to convey to their loved ones that a man of God had come to save them. Those who had no relatives in the city also knelt in place and began to pray to God sincerely.
The commander immediately explained to the expert veterans who were the backbone of the army that this man was only the leader of the enemy, but this not only did not dispel the conjecture that Li Chenglong was the messenger of salvation in the veterans' hearts, but also caused the plague to be caused by the powerful god who cursed Molrick in order to punish the Feona warriors for their misdeeds, and this rumor quickly spread throughout the city.
Lee Seung-ryong didn't say anything, he didn't do anything. When you are hungry, you eat some dry food that you carry with you, when you are thirsty, you drink some mead from a kettle, and when you are sleepy, you rest in the house you built outside the city in front of thousands of soldiers using alchemy.
The houses that grew out of the fields, the cloth bags that seemed to contain the food that could never be eaten, and the wine that could never be drunk made people believe in their hearts that Lee Seung-ryong was the messenger sent by God to save him. The question that remains is what the messenger is waiting for, and why not start saving lives in the city?
As the day passed, many more people lost their loved ones, and many more contracted diseases and lost their health. People could no longer think calmly about the cause, and the streets of the city were filled with curses exposing scandals involving neighbors and relatives, as if the citizens felt that they would be redeemed by denouncing the evil deeds of others.
The backbone of the commander's lecture began to gather and hover around the commander. The two commanders sensed that the army was about to mutiny, but their prestige and good reputation could temporarily deter the beast in the hearts of most of the soldiers. With taking turns to rest and not even excreting from each other's sight, another day passed peacefully.
On the third day after the arrival of the emissary, Foamrick's soldiers and civilians finally mutinied after the death of one of their commanders. The warriors of Fiona, who did not have much physical strength left, were mixed with the sick, and the warriors who were not sick were killed. Looking at the corpses of the two worthy warriors, many soldiers began to feel ashamed of their actions, but these fellows who shed tears for the commander did not delay for a moment to go out of the city with the other warriors to meet the apostles.
Seeing in the sky that almost the last decent people and high-ranking warriors in the entire city were already some distance from the city walls, and the Mist of Ruilai and the Fog Chakra of Ebon, which had strengthened the power and scope of the Philosopher's Stone, trapped these people. The elected representatives of Droplik thought they were close to the messenger, but suddenly there was a fog all around, and it took longer than expected for everyone to walk the last distance.
Beyond the fog, Lee Seung-ryong activated the formation of the land formed by the underground pipes dug by Shogues yesterday, and the wandering souls and helpless people in the city found a new home in the jeweled timepiece around Lee Seung-ryong's neck, in addition to repairing their own cities.
When the delegation actually came to Li Chenglong, Li Chenglong blessed himself with the "Man" rune, and said in a tone that was almost emotionless: "You have made the right choice, passed the test of the terrible conqueror, Yog Sotos, and redeemed your life, and in the days to come you can find your faith in the temple that Droplet Rick is about to build." “
The delegation, consisting of merchants, experienced soldiers, and respected elders, sensed the meaning of the apostle's words, and almost synchronously turned to look at the city of Droplik behind them. People standing on the high ground see a spotless city that no one has. A city where there is no one, living or dead.
In the face of such a miracle, even if they accept the idea that they are redeemed, people still feel sad for their relatives and friends in the city. No one cried, everyone just let the tears slip down their cheeks and fall on the dirt. Silently followed Li Chenglong, who returned to the ground, and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion step by step.
Before sunset, the delegation, which was familiar with the intelligence in the city, gathered a large number of materials needed to transform the city for Li Chenglong to the city lord's mansion. Under the transformation of the Philosopher's Stone that had just been earned, Li Chenglong completed the second sacrifice with the afterglow of the setting sun. I don't know if it's because there are many natives present this time, or because of Li Chenglong's promise just now, many humans watching the ceremony vaguely feel the god of Cthulhu.
The emergence of the first Cthulhu believers represents the true and complete acceptance of the ninth foreign power by New Asia. Although the world began to become a little self-destructive, it still made the gods of the revenge committee who were concerned about New Yashan breathe a bad breath in front of the observers of the other gods. This time, the reward could not be distributed to Li Chenglong due to the high resistance of the World Will and the troubles of the observers of the eight god systems.
After the dismissal, Li Chenglong left the tavern manager to ask about the summoning of new heroes, and the tavern owner said that he had only received the conditions for his faction's summoning from the gods, and that it would take a few days to renovate the existing tavern before he could know what was needed.
I don't know if it is the will of the world to compensate Li Chenglong out of fairness. In the following days, Li Chenglong only stayed in the City Lord's Mansion and received the allegiance of almost all the humans in the southwest of the Emerald Isles, including Blarney City.
In addition to the extra taxes, the Sentry and Ippo were too slow to organize the first formal sacrifice to the gods of Cthulhu with the participation of the natives, and completely lost their independence from Lee Seung-ryong, adding two vassal heroes and a main city in the southwestern mountains to the Ebon forces.
With Howard's encouragement, the legend of Lee Seung-ryong adds the story of saving the Abbot Denionians who converted to the correct faith as an apostle and punishing all those who are obsessed.
