85, Faith Forging Divine Fire, Gathering Male Soldiers on the Continent (Middle)
Also early in the morning, Levi Ston sat alone in a secret chamber beneath the Talon Fortress, silently concentrating as he prepared to enter the heart of the castle. Two angels and four holy griffin knights stood guard outside the door of the chamber, ensuring that the young regent was not disturbed by anyone or anything.
After leaving the realm of the gods, Levi Ston had entered the heart of the castle for the second time. The last time was shortly after he had just woken up, and the young Lord Regent had arrived at Valhalla in a hurry, and then fell to his knees in front of the obelisk that recorded all the states of bound souls, and wet the ground beneath his feet with hot tears.
At the top of the many glittering golden names, three that had turned gray and one red stood out, and Levi even felt disgusted at his own thoughts for a moment, for he wished that the red name was not Jouan Merlister, but either Dish Friedrich or Sir Rodriguez.
Until now, Levi still remembered very clearly the feeling of touching the obelisk with his fingers, and at that moment, he felt as if a trace of spiritual power had been drained from his body, and then the red name began to glow with golden light, and gradually changed color after the infusion of faith power.
In less than a minute, a figure wearing a red archmage's robe appeared in the center of the six-pointed star alchemy magic array in the center of Valhalla, and Master Juno Merlister, the fire demon guide, raised his hands in surprise and touched his face. Then he spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Your Excellency Levi Ston, I'...... Aren't you dead?"
"No, Master Merlister, you died heroically in the battle against the Root of All Evil a few days ago, but the collection of soul fragments is relatively complete, so you have been successfully resurrected in Valhalla. Levi heard himself reply in a calm voice.
"It's a wonderful feeling, the resurrection of the dead, the gods above, it's simply beyond the reach of mortals!" Master Merrist was obviously deeply shocked, all magicians could not help but have a thirst for unknown mystical knowledge. So he then pleaded in an urgent tone, "Your Excellency Levi Ston, where is Master Dish now, I would like to ask him some things at once, while the enlightenment of death has not faded." ”
Levi's expression must have been very terrifying at that moment, because Master Merrist immediately closed his chattering mouth, and even his face turned a little pale, "I...... I'm so sorry. Lord Regent, Master Dich...... Is something wrong?"
"Master Dish sacrificed his life just like you, and...... His soul didn't make it back to Valhalla......" Levi gritted his teeth, every word seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth, and although his tone sounded calm, it couldn't help but remind people of an iceberg on the verge of collapse. "Sir Rodriguez and Arranse Kate didn't come back either. They are protecting me...... Die in front of me......"
The Fire Wizard's expression turned blank for a moment, "Sacrifice? Oh no, it's impossible, the strength shown by Master Dish is not above me, though. But his understanding of magic and alchemy is far beyond my grasp, so how could he die?"
"I wish it wasn't true more than you do, but...... The final battle took place in front of the temple of the gods in the realm of the gods, and Lord Tomad Youngson took advantage of a mistake in me to obtain the godhead left by the Father, thus becoming the new master of the realm of the gods. Sir Rodriguez and Arrans Kate died in battle, in order to send me out of the realm of the gods. Master Dish chose to stay ......"
Jono Merlister's frowning eyebrows suddenly relaxed, "I see, Lord Levi Ston, you don't have to worry too much, in my opinion, Master Dich's soul should not have been destroyed, but because the realm of the gods has cut off the path of soul return, Valhalla cannot resurrect him." As long as we can return to the realm of the gods, we can resurrect Master Dish and the other two Heroic Spirits who died there. ”...,
These words rekindled a flame of hope in Levi's chest, and it became more and more anxious as time passed. If it weren't for the desire to gather enough faith power as soon as possible to pave the way for a return to the realm of the gods, the young regent might not have agreed to the plan of the palace governor Bamiliyan, after all, according to the plan of the chief eunuchs, they must let the gods wreak havoc on the human realm, and the loss of lives and property of innocent civilians is incalculable.
"They have their wars, and we have ours. If they feel overwhelmed by an opponent like the gods, what about making the successor of the creator god an opponent?" These are the words that Governor Bamiliyan used to comfort Levi Ston before taking his leave, "Your Excellency Lord Regent, the apocalyptic crisis is ahead, and any nation must make efforts and sacrifices for it, if they can't voluntarily give up their insignificant power and gather under your banner, then let the gods help them make a decision." ”
"Hopefully my choice is not wrong, Mr. Dich. Levi muttered in a voice like a whisper, then took a firm step forward, and in the next moment, the towering white walls of the heart of the castle stood in front of him.
Unlike the last time you entered the heart of the castle, the white city was now crowded, but fortunately, the discipline of alchemical life maintained the most basic order, so that it did not turn from a flooded crowd to a deadly chaos - if it were ordinary people, even if it were all well-trained soldiers, it would be ten times worse than the scene in front of them.
The white metropolis, which seems to be the twin brother of the royal capital, is large enough to accommodate 200,000 inhabitants to live and work, but now most of the houses have been torn down and rebuilt into functional buildings for the final war, and the inhabitants have been transformed into skilled craftsmen.
As soon as Levi entered the city gate, he saw dozens of blacksmith shops lined up in the square facing him, each of which was emitting flames and billowing smoke from the blacksmith furnace, and the sound of hammers hitting anvils and bellows blowing one after another, sounding as if countless giants were fighting, and a whole group of dragons were breathing hard. Countless parts of swords, spearheads, shields, and steel armor were crafted from the hands of blacksmiths like flowing water, and then quickly loaded into sand-covered barrels by the servants and transported to the armory for polishing and polishing, while some of the most elaborate weapons and armor were sent to the alchemy workshop next to the magic tower, where the alchemists were waiting to engrave the runes and bless the magic.
However, at this time, the alchemy workshop no longer had any manpower to do this, according to the order given by Levi, all the alchemists in the heart of the castle were trying their best to draw an extremely large and complicated alchemy magic array, and a large number of precious alchemy materials filled every groove of the magic array. Although the main structure was not yet completely completed, the entire magic array had already exuded a strange sense of coercion, which made the Dark Moon Master who was in charge of the drawing work feel under pressure, and the dark alchemist frowned and his eyes were so hollow that he didn't even notice that the young regent walked in front of him.
"Master Youyue, how is the situation of the magic array drawing?" Li Wei had no choice but to take the initiative to ask, "There are still two days left, can it be completed in time according to the schedule?"
Master Youyue's expression was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, "Your Excellency Levi, ah, you have come just in time!" he grabbed Levi's shoulder, his expression impatient and worried, "I didn't expect that there would be so many places that need to be calculated, and my ability is still much inferior to that of Grand Master Dishi." The progress of the magic array was greatly delayed than planned, and if it continued like this, it would take four days for all the drawings to be completed, plus trial runs and detailed adjustments...... I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it within the deadline!"...,
Li Wei's face suddenly turned pale, and his hands involuntarily clenched together, with such great force that the green tendons on the back of his hands were clearly revealed, "Master Youyue, you should know how important your work is, if we can't complete this alchemy magic array within the time limit, then the entire world will face inevitable decline!"
"I understand, Your Excellency Levi, of course I do. Master Youyue shook his head a little irritably, "But alchemy is an extremely delicate discipline that requires a great deal of knowledge, and I must admit that at this point, Grand Master Dish is unmatched, and I don't have any way to accomplish it unless I give me more manpower." ”
"The heart of the castle still has some faith power, but it must set aside enough for the operation of the alchemy magic array, so there is no way to create more alchemists. Li Wei sighed helplessly, and then his eyes subconsciously swept over the figures who were busy in the alchemy magic array, and a puzzled expression gradually appeared in his eyes.
"Master Youyue, I remember that you shouldn't have more than that, where are the elves of the Miyun tribe? They may not be very qualified alchemists, but they are enough to complete most of the work of drawing circles, and they are much faster than ordinary alchemists. ”
Master Youyue's face became even more difficult to look at, "Those little elves of the Miyun tribe, the alchemy god Moti, Your Excellency Levi, since you announced that you must not execute the elves at will, those stubborn little ones have not listened to my orders at all, and have been wholeheartedly tinkering with alchemy machinery. And yesterday there was a small explosion, and if it weren't for the fact that I had set up some means of defense in advance, it would have almost ruined the work of so many people for hours. I was afraid of another accident, so I drove them all out into the middle of nowhere!"
