Chapter 161: Spirit Wandering and Frank's New Product
422
After burying Budi, Crane looked up and saw that many people around him were mourning in silence at the grave. They have one significant thing in common, and that is the faces that are characteristic of the southern continent, plus the clothing of the various countries of the northern continent.
If you want to bury your relatives, you must have a certain family background. If you want to have time to mourn your family, you must have some savings so that you don't go hungry because you don't go to work or lack labor after paying for the funeral.
Over time. The silent mourners gradually left, and Crane followed, and after a few steps, he suddenly felt a chill around him, and then in his vision, the pale flame door opened beside him, and the snake-tailed demigod appeared at his side.
Crane looked around and chose to come under a tree in the corner, holding on to the railing with his arms, pretending to be looking at the scenery in the distance.
The snaketail demigod handed him a letter, and Crane whispered thanks and opened it
ββ¦β¦ There are two ways to obtain a messenger, one is to think of an accurate description, perform a ritual, summon the corresponding spirit creature, and sign a necromantic contract with it, and the other is to go directly to the spirit world, find the messenger you want to get, and after obtaining its consent, sign a contract with it, and record the precise description language for later use. β
"The first method is relatively simple, but it is quite dangerous, because it may be a powerful spiritual creature or a strange evil spirit, and every time you summon, you can't be completely sure what it will attract, and this is a risk that divination is difficult to avoid in advance."
"The danger of the second method is that it is not easy to find the right messenger, and there is a risk of getting lost in the spirit world."
"Unless you're a traveler, I don't recommend the second method, the first I can provide some tested 'descriptions', as long as the process is accurate, the danger level is quite low, but it may not be satisfactory to you, and in addition, the contract requires the use of the power of the necromantic realm, which you can provide with my bronze whistle."
The format includes the following paragraphs......
"Of course, if you don't mind, I can give that one to you and let it sign a contract with you......"
That one? Crane was slightly stunned, and then he understood.
"I asked Mr. Azik how he had a messenger, and Mr. Azik meant ......"
After reading the letter, Crane hesitantly looked at the snake-tailed demigod beside him, and asked tentatively:
"Mr. Azik thinks he could let you be my messenger?"
The snaketail demigod nodded, and Crane didn't sense the rejection in him, but he didn't feel the willingness either.
"No, no, I don't think it's better to bother you, you've helped me many times."
So Crane hurriedly shook his head: "Moreover, I remember that Mr. Azik said that if you are damaged, you have to go to the place related to the copper whistle to repair it, and if it is transferred to me, it may cause additional danger." β
The snake-tailed demigod was noncommittal, looking indifferent.
Crane breathed a sigh of relief and said tentatively, "So, I hope to be able to get your help and go to the spirit world to find out if there are any kind creatures willing to sign a contract with me, and then try to summon myself." β
The demigod nodded and disappeared into the cemetery.
Somehow, while talking to the demigods, Crane kept feeling as if there was an extremely slight tremor on the ground, which disappeared as soon as the demigod left.
He touched the copper whistle, and suddenly realized that this was a cemetery, and the corpses buried here were all locals, just like the Budi he brought, there should be many of them who did not go through the church before they died! If this demigod of the "Grim Reaper" path stays for a while, he will probably have to meet many people who have not been cremated here!
Crane was embarrassed and ready to turn around and leave, just in time to meet a group of people who had come to pay their respects.
On the opposite side appeared to be a family, with two men who were reddish-brown haired locals, the older being fatter and kind-hearted, with several children with unrelated hair and skin tones. The tallest indigenous young man, seeing that Crane was not someone he knew, and had no intention of greeting him, moved out of the way so that Crane could walk through the narrow alley.
Crane lowered the brim of his hat and whispered a thank you.
He glanced at the tombstone and saw that it had a name engraved in the Rune language:
Durda Sola
Walking two meters away, Crane could still whisper the young man to the middle-aged man with a fat figure:
"I'm sorry, Dad, but I couldn't get my mom Rune's citizenship...... Mom can only be buried here......"
The hoarse middle-aged man's voice floated over from afar, and he comforted his son: "It's okay, it's good if you have it, you have to take care of your brother in the future." Then I don't have to handle mine, I'll use the local household registration of Rorsted, and bury it here with your mother in the future. β
The young man was silent.
As they spoke, the children whispered a few words, followed by a small cry.
Crane sighed and walked down the same path as he came, where he saw busy grave keepers complaining that the tsunami had brought him too much work, and that there were still many coffins waiting to be cremated.
"The First Evolution"
He paused for a moment, then quickly left the public cemetery.
β¦β¦
Back at his hotel, Crane turned a blind eye to Daniz, who suddenly bounced off the couch, and went back to his room to lock the door. He summoned the snake-tailed demigod and signaled that he was ready to begin roaming the spirit realm.
"I remember the rules of roaming the spirit world, don't listen, don't look around, don't look at any creature for more than three seconds." He said, "I'm ready, please get started." β
The snaketail demigod nodded, reached out and grabbed his arm, then soared into the air, leading Crane into the real and unreal, strange and mysterious world.
The creatures that live in the spirit realm have their own habits, sometimes they are a bunch of them, and sometimes they can't touch a single one after roaming for a long time.
It is even more difficult to choose from among them the spiritual creatures who are more compatible with them and are willing to serve as their messengers.
As he roamed, Crane suddenly saw a large bird-like creature, which clearly had the beak, head, and wings of a bird, but strangely had no eyes, no legs, and only six tentacles. The bird-like spirit creature had a silent aura similar to that of the snake-tailed demigod, and he should have been attracted by the latter, Crane shook his head, he felt a strong hostility and fear in the bird-like spirit creature, and he looked at himself like looking at a ham carried by the snake-tailed demigod.
H.R. Crane expressed his displeasure, and the snake-tailed demigod ignored it and roamed away.
The bird-like creature watched from a distance behind for a moment, then moved away with its tentacles.
Didn't you fly? Then why do you want to grow wings...... Crane couldn't help but complain that the spirit creatures looked too casual.
But it's very strong, at least stronger than me, and there should be sequence 5 in the outside world...... I'm sure I can't beat this strange bird......
Essentially, the spirit world is a very dangerous place, and if you are not careful, you may encounter a demigod-level terrifying existence...... Crane was taken to continue his shuttle, and found that it was really quite chaotic, and although the seven clear and pure lights that could have marked the location were always located high and covered the "sky", they could often be seen underfoot, left and right, front and back.
If it weren't for the demigod of the "Grim Reaper" path, who was good at roaming the spirit world, Crane wouldn't have been able to tell the direction at all.
If you use the "divination rod method" to find directions in the spirit world, or place an item somewhere, and then use the divination of the item to reach the destination, then it should also be possible...... Crane thought to himself, planning to try it out for himself when he had the chance.
Then he saw pairs of fires flickering below and to his side, shadows chasing the demigods, as if a group of unsightly creatures were running after the snake-tailed demigods.
Passing through the dark blue irregular shapes that symbolize the sea, and drifting past the green balls of light that symbolize the forest, these light shadows and fires still follow Crane.
These creatures are not hostile to me...... Creon clearly sensed the kindness of these firelight creatures, who had been following their neighborhood, not attacking, but like an invisible fellow traveler, roaming with them in the spirit realm with no direction or goal.
But Crane didn't choose to make a pact with these friendly creatures, because he found that he couldn't see them clearly.
This is either because the sequence gap is too large and I can't accurately recognize the image of the other party, or because I have a different approach from them, and there is some occult resistance.
And the snake-tailed demigod seems to be a little nervous, surrounded by so many spiritual creatures, the demigod is understandably nervous.
Craine regretfully gave up on the idea of communicating with these friendly creatures, and motioned for the snaketail demigod to speed up, preparing to try to find them when he became stronger.
As the demigods sped up their roaming, the fires and shadows seemed to realize that they would not be chosen by Crane, and they stopped following and gathered together into a smoke-like shadow, and then the shadows disappeared and the flames were extinguished at the same time.
Crane reluctantly turned his head, and seven or eight seconds later, a looming collapsing building appeared "in front of him".
He recognized at a glance that the building was the ancient elven ruins occupied by the dead "sea god", Kavituva!
In the middle of the building, floating giant jellyfish-like spirit creatures stretched out transparent tentacles covered in slime, incorporating the surrounding area into its "territory".
At the tip of each tentacle was a white skull with a dark eyehole, which swayed with a light and slow swing.
In appearance, it's like a hybrid of the "Sailor" and "Reaper" pathways...... However, spirit creatures cannot be distinguished by simple sequences.
The giant jellyfish didn't seem aggressive, quiet, and didn't make drastic moves on the arrival of outsiders, which might have been worth communicating, but it was too big...... Kavituwa can't fill the entire ruins yet, but it can. I'm at sea now, so I can't let all future messengers turn into sea monsters out of the water, not only is this picture too beautiful, but the messenger itself is also vulnerable to attack and get hurt...... He confronted the giant jellyfish's black hole for two seconds before looking away, and the snaketail demigod continued on his way.
Crane could often see a round of yellow suns like children's stick figures, sometimes brushing against the river that flowed quietly but without substance.
There are also flat women with bare upper bodies, a moon with a smiling face, canoes with their heads and tails cocked, balls of thread in a mess, and a serpentine staircase leading to seven clear lights......
In this chaotic world, except for spiritual creatures, all kinds of information are compounded in the form of abstract symbols, so what can be obtained during divination can only be a revelation, and you need to interpret it yourself.
And those symbols may come to life and become non-physical monsters.
This is the spiritual realm that cannot be understood and viewed by human common sense.
Suddenly, through the thin and void mist, he saw a floating castle in the lower left of normal people's concept, it was all black, with a towering spire, overgrown with vines, and it was very Gothic.
At the top of the castle stood a translucent woman, almost as tall as the castle, dressed in a long black dress that was intricate and ornate and dull and gloomy, with no head, a neat cut in her neck, and drooping hands carrying four blonde red-eyed, bright-looking heads, which, if you looked closely, would find identical.
As the snake-tailed demigod passed by with Crane, the woman's four heads blinked together.
Crane turned a blind eye, but suddenly heard the snaketail demigod say something he didn't understand, but he faintly felt the fear of the demigod.

The True Creator returned to her office, and as soon as she entered the door with her front feet, her back feet flashed a meter away, and she stared at the person sitting on her sofa in disbelief, frowning and asking:
"Where did you come from?"
"According to my intelligence, you should be in voluntary confinement somewhere in the Southern Continent right now."
Edward, who was already sunk in the sofa, leaned back to the ceiling and closed his eyes to recuperate, turned his head when he heard this, straightened her glasses, and said hello familiarly:
"It's been a long time since I saw my allies, and I'm so glad to see you grow ten centimeters taller."
The tone of the voice is "Edward Vaughn", which is very different from the outer god who always speaks sarcastically and impatiently, and even the real creator has to "tsk" for the other party's role. Then she smiled and answered the question of the real Creator:
"Relax, it's the projection, I'm still there, it's just- I'm going to get out of there soon."
"You're still going to the abyss, aren't you?"
The True Creator's eyes froze, and he saw that he was about to draw strength from his own body: "If you choose to become a dual-path true god, then I will also stop it accordingly." β
But he didn't want Edward to come to his spirit all of a sudden, and the personality of the outer god under the shell seemed to have suddenly emerged again.
She sat up from the sofa and said curiously, "Do you want to be a true god of the two paths?" Who are you going to kill first? Or is it the beginning of the eternal sun, where the great ancient sun god is about to return in a flash of lightning? β
β¦β¦ The True Creator has nothing to say: "No. β
Edward fell back on, continuing to sink into the couch towards the ceiling.
"Why not, dear ally." The demon said boredly, "Medici has returned, and you must have seen her as well when you summoned her back." In order for the other two Spirit Brands to be fully fused by the Medici, you will need to strengthen the Medici's pointing in the Red Evil Spirit...... In other words, you need to give her an army, you need to give her battlefields and victories, so that these anchors point to the 'Red Angel Medich' himself instead of Sauron and Einhorn. β
"The God of War is under your command, but you dare not start a war, how can this help your War Angel return to God's throne?"
It didn't feel good to be seen through the demon's inner concerns and thoughts, and the true creator frowned and was unmoved:
"Before he died, Medici had already completed the rite of godhood of the 'Red Priest' countless times."
"I have many ways to get her back to the one and the Red Angel's strong point, instead of using it this way."
The demon smiled, "But that's the easiest, isn't it?" Medici would certainly be willing to go that way. Her bones had been in the dark grave for two thousand years, and if she had a chance to pick up the knife again, she would laugh with joy, right? β
"Andβ"
Edward deliberately lengthened his tone, sat up, and said slowly in a deep and mellow voice:
"Friend, you should have found out......"
"A war is about to begin, it is not up to you to do so, the gods need war, and new gods born out of war."
The true creator subconsciously thought of the "Black Emperor" who was about to be born in Rune, and the Einhorn family, the royal family of the Vorsack Empire, who had long revealed their intention to go to war. But she was not moved by the demon's words, and replied with her arms folded:
"That's why Medici doesn't need to start a war herself, because someone and God will dedicate the stage of war to her."
Her tone suddenly became solemn and solemn, as if she was proclaiming some truth:
"In the name of the Creator, the Sun God, she will let the wheels of war run over the earth and crush this unjust war!"
Edward followed her after striking her: "You are not a dreamer now. β
"I'm making up a sentence for my future new edition of the Holy Scriptures." The True Creator replied, "If you have nothing else to do, then go back and continue your voluntary imprisonment, lest you draw the attention of the night to me." β
Hearing this, Edward reached out and groped in his arms, reaching for a palm-sized paper bag and an apple.
"Then there's something else."
"Let's go."
"Why are you so outside, it's just lunch time now, isn't it worth it for you to leave me for lunch and bring afternoon tea for such a long time since the Fifth Age?"
"Don't use this kind of rhetoric, I won't listen to what your demonic state says."
"Okay." Edward shrugged.
"The product I picked up last time will be well received in your Aurora, the red wine fish is easy to carry and tastes good, it can replenish spirituality, and the mass production price is relatively close to the people, so Frank has developed another product."
"I'm here to bring him some goods."
Edward tore open the wrapper, revealing a white dough with burnt yellow marks on both sides, fluffy to the touch, and looked very delicious.
"What is this?" The True Creator spoke vigilantly, she was no longer fooled by the harmless surface of Frank's product.
Edward handed her the dough, "Actually, it's quite delicious, it's a dough cake with a honey filling in the middle." β
The real creator took the letter suspiciously, broke off a piece and put it in his mouth and chewed it, it was indeed soft and delicious, and the honey was sweet but not greasy, making people want to take another bite. At the same time, she also noticed that the bread also had the function of restoring spirituality.
"How normal is the product this time?" The real creator couldn't believe it, and always felt that there would be some unexpected details hidden in this cake.
Cultivators, these techniques are really interesting...... It's a pity that the mother earth goddess is a giant, and she doesn't understand the thirst for food of human beings at all, otherwise the goddess who masters nature and food is enough to become the main god in the mythology of various countries in the old days, but she actually only occupies such a small place as Fenerport, and the missionary power is not as good as that of the god of steam and machinery, obviously everyone has to eat...... Odd? Giants also eat, huh? Mother Earth is not a little too satisfied with the status quo.
Edward walked away, clutched the apple in his hand, and said to the true Creator:
"You try to put a little bit of spirituality into it."
The true creator immediately took the bread away, and carefully entered a little bit of spirituality, only to see that the bread suddenly cracked from the middle, and the honey inside gurgled and bubbled, and actually followed the spiritual feedback back a sentence:
"Praise the Lord! Praise the Great Lord! β
Real Creator Tactical Recline: ........................
The True Creator: "Who ordered this?" β
Edward: "Your two divine envoys have jointly requested a customized product, inspired by the 'five loaves and two fishes' in your holy scriptures. β
Edward: "They thought that the flesh-and-blood fish made by Frank was a sacrament that required the Holy Communion, so it should also be served with bread, so they applied. The Dark Sage thought it was good, and Frank's bread of praise came. β
The True Creator: ".................. Can you speak well? β
"Take it easy, this pie has no intelligence, only this kind of feedback to the spirit." Edward gloated and comforted the former God, "The main thing is this special spiritual honey, scrape the honey off, and naturally there will be no such feedback." β
In addition, the wheat used to make this cake is a variety that he has specially improved, because the yield of spiritual honey is low and expensive, so he managed to increase the yield of wheat by 40%, bringing the cost of bread back to the level that ordinary people can afford."
"How much is that?"
"One-half pence, Frank is willing to sell the improved wheat seeds." "Besides, the sacrament bread with honey costs only three pence. β
The True Creator grasped the loaf and was silent for a while, and finally ate it whole, and reluctantly agreed:
"It tastes pretty good."
Then she noticed the apple in Edward's hand and pointed out, "This is the roast chicken-flavored apple that the kid studied?" The finished product was very fast, and he was able to develop two new products in a row within half a month. β
Edward smiled, "No, it's a failure, I thought it was funny and let him sacrifice it." β
The real creator then looked at the apple twice, and only felt that it was healthy in color and round in shape, and could not tell that it was a failed experiment, so she asked curiously:
"Where did it fail? Did it come out as an ordinary apple? β
"Then this color is not bad, it is worthy of the earth path."
Edward smiled and sighed, and said:
"First of all."
"It's a chicken."
The apple jumped in her palm with a loud "chirp".
TBC
ββββββ
The Real Creator: I'm crazy.
Apple: Tweet! (Jump) (Roll)
Edward: Well, it's pretty cute other than that, so do you want to touch it?
