Chapter 297: The Lamp Maker
Harrow didn't know much about the rules of the world.
It is not a starter and cannot provide practical step-by-step assistance.
Lu Yao could only try one by one.
He first tried his hand with the [Banquet Bird].
In this gravel world, the king of Wuji is still leading the Wuji people to dig and collect the Almighty Stone, and many places in the whole world are full of holes.
Lu Yao found the entry [death] in the background, and filtered down to find the related words of [ghost] and [deceased]. In these sub-phrases, however, there is no underworld or one-way anchored description or definition.
In order to verify it, Lu Yao checked the other two worlds, the same as the Yunzhong Temple and the Yao world, and there was no relevant record.
He came to a tentative inference: many worlds were anchored in one direction to the underworld, and that the passage to the underworld that ghosts entered was hidden deeper into the rules of the world.
Either the Lord God can't change this rule, or the description is cleverly hidden.
No matter which one it is, Lu Yao has nothing to do at the moment.
He couldn't help but think.
It would be nice to have a meeting place for the ghosts...... It's like a soldier who has completed training in a strategy game barracks, and will be designated to assemble on the school grounds.
That's right.
It can be done this way!
The underworld passage and one-way anchoring yourself can't be touched, but you can work on the ghost entry.
Lu Yao immediately began to write the rules in the backstage of the [Banquet Bird] world.
He added a new command to the [Ghost] entry.
- All ghosts will stay in Shado Tower for a while.
This instruction is vague, focusing on testing the basic mechanics, and the new rule costs 20,000 faith points.
Lu Yao clicked OK and waited for the rules in the world to work.
About half an hour later, next to the Shadu Tower at the bottom of the Feast Bird World, a ghost really appeared. However, the ghost only stayed for about two seconds, and immediately disappeared without a trace.
Lu Yao was greatly excited.
Useful!
He revised and revised the rules, constantly comparing the actual effects of the rules, and found that to keep the ghost in a very short time, the vague description would be more stable and feasible.
If you force a precise time, it will be difficult for this rule to work stably, and it will show [Invalid] after a while.
After conducting more than a dozen experiments in the world of banquet birds, Lu Yao summed up two experiences.
Lesson 1: The number of ghosts that transfer through the world is very small.
He observed for nearly 3 hours in total, and there were only 4 ghosts passing by, each of which symbolically flashed in front of Shadu Tower, and then disappeared immediately.
Lesson 2: It is much more difficult for ghosts to settle in than expected, and the conversion rate is extremely low.
None of the 4 passing ghosts stopped.
Although Lu Yao had an estimate of the difficulties, the severity and difficulty of the real situation still made him a little nerve-wracking.
Is this really not an option?
He took out half a box of egg tarts and consulted Harrow with delicious food.
"The gravel world is weak, and there are few ghosts."
The three-headed dog licked the tart and said, "The bigger the world, the stronger the rules." If you want to recruit passing ghosts, you'll need to do so with a large kingdom of God. The transfer and teleportation of ghosts will be concentrated in the larger world, so that the power of rules can give full play to the one-way anchoring effect. β
Lu Yao was stunned.
It turned out to be related to the world itself.
He changed his goal and chose Yunzhong Temple as the testing ground, which was also the largest world that Lu Yao had mastered.
Lu Yao was pleasantly surprised to find that the number of ghosts had indeed increased.
He set the place on the edge of the artificial lake, and from time to time there were ghosts appearing, far outnumbering the banquet birds, and in just half an hour, 10 ghosts passed by.
Most of the ghosts are still fleeting, but a few do stay for a while.
They usually look around, as if there's nothing unusual about it, and then dissipate.
Lu Yao further adjusted and changed the marker to under the ghost lighthouse of Sand City.
The results were immediate.
More ghosts flickered, and hesitated nearby.
The vast majority still end up leaving. Only one ghost stood under the lighthouse for a long time, looking up at the top of the lighthouse, as if full of curiosity and reluctance.
Lu Yao checked its details.

β¦β¦
The Lamp Clan ghost was in a strange form, a translucent figure with a shimmering silver metallic sheen, and a faint flame on his head.
The lantern rider looks up at the green campfire at the top of the ghost lighthouse, as if he is yearning.
It took two steps forward and stopped.
The ghosts come and go, and only it can't make up its mind.
You can't interfere at this time.
Harrow made a point of emphasizing that it had to be the ghost who stayed voluntarily. In a one-way anchored ghost portal, only the Voyager who rules the world can see them briefly, not even the gods.
Once the initiator comes into direct contact with them, it will destabilize the passage, causing the passage to close or collapse for a short time, with unpredictable disorderly consequences that outweigh the losses.
Lu Yao had no intention of interfering directly.
If you bring in the ghosts that pass by, you still need to persuade yourself as a sailor one by one, it will be too tiring.
Show the ghost treatment of Sand City, and those who are interested will consider staying, and those who are unwilling will not be forced.
After half an hour of mental struggle, the lantern rode into the ghost lighthouse.
Lu Yao couldn't help but wave his fist.
The first one, take it!
At Lu Yao's signal, Slemod quickly appeared next to the lantern rider.
"Welcome, guests from afar. I'm the mayor of the city, and this is a ghost lighthouse, a must-have place for ghosts to rest at home, and the living environment is relaxed and comfortable, and you can choose a place as a private room. β
Slemod picked up a thick book next to him: "Books like this, for example, are synonymous with knowledge and elegance, and have always been a favorite dwelling place for ghosts. β
"Don't like it? So how about this? β
He grabbed another oil lamp next to him: "This is an oil lamp invented by the prophet's medicine spoon, a brass lamp holder, a glass lampshade, filled with magic oil, the flame is enduring, and the fragrance is elegant...... After careful polishing by skilled craftsmen, texture and warmth coexist. β
A red heart appeared on the lamprider's head, and it nodded.
"Then from today, this is your private room, please put it away."
Slemod handed the oil lamp to the other party, and then said, "There are no mandatory obligations in the ghost lighthouse of Sand City. But if you want to have a more fun life, or show your talents and achieve your desired ideals or goals, Sand City will give every contributor a well-deserved reward......"
"You're tired, you're tired, so please rest first."
Sleimod was about to leave.
The lantern rider finally spoke: "I will make the lamp." A much better lamp than the one I have in my hand. β
"Oh? What materials are needed? I can prepare it for you. β
"You need metal, copper, iron, gold, silver, preferably gold and silver, as well as hammers and pliers, anvils and leather, this kind of thing called glass is thinner than crystal, and it is good to use this......"
As he spoke, he suddenly sighed.
"I forgot, now I can't make a lamp, I'm dead."
"Death is another beginning."
Slemod also introduced, "So, do you want to try the [Ghost Armor] made by the Yao Clan? As long as you wear this armor, you can be as dexterous and mobile as when you were alive, and you can use any tool. β
"And this kind of thing?"
A huge question mark popped up on the head of the lamp rider.
"Of course, just try it."
After putting on the ghost armor, a black exclamation mark popped out of the lamp's head: "Incredible...... It is unimaginable that the exquisite armor has such wonderful power, like coming back from the dead! β
Slemod added, "You're lucky to be the first Lantern Clan to join Sand City, and this armor comes as a welcome gift to Sand City, I hope you enjoy it." β
"Like, very much! Mr. Mayor...... This must be very precious, right? β
"It's nothing to mention for the goodwill and friendship of Sand City."
"Mayor, I'll make the lamp now, I have my own ability!"
The lantern crew immediately set about making the lamps.
Slymod's doppelganger delivered the materials and tools he needed, and the lampmaker threw himself into the craft......
A few minutes later, a spherical lamp was born from the hand of the lamp rider in armor.
It resembles a large glass ball, with a claw-like iron rod underneath and a long hemp rope attached to the bottom.
After nightfall, the lantern rider brought it into the open space next to the lighthouse, and with a gentle pull of the rope, the ball lantern flew up and flickered, creating a warm white light in the air, making the surrounding residents of Shacheng look up one by one.
Lu Yao clicked on this item.

Kong Ming lantern?
Lu Yao immediately discovered that there was more to it than that.
Its brightness is astonishing, and just this hanging lamp illuminates the entire ghost lighthouse.
Lu Yao observed for a while and found that the health of the hanging lamp lost 1 point every 1 second, which represented the durability of the use.
"It's a pity. With so many fine and sufficient materials, and even all-round stones, the hanging lamps I make are still not as good as those excellent lamp makers......"
A sigh appeared on the lamp's head.
Slemod smiled: "You're already great!" Shacheng had never had such a device before, and the high-altitude flying lantern that emitted such a dazzling light was a remarkable skill. β
The lantern rider turned his head and smiled: "Thanks to the all-round stone you provided, it makes up for the lack of my crafting ability." β
"Originally, the lantern clan had to hold the lamp wire in order to keep the hanging lamp floating and moving in the air, but now even if it is tied to the side, it can maintain a stable levitation, which is the power of the Almighty Stone."
It also said, "The most skilled master of the Lantern Clan can make a [sky lantern] that runs in the sky. β
"There is no sun in the world where the Lantern Clan is located, and we need to rely on sky lanterns to fend off the monsters in the black fog. By the time I die, the Great Master has not been seen for a long time, and we can only tinker with the old sky lanterns and continue to use them. They often fail as they age, sometimes bright and sometimes dark......"
"There are times when the sky lanterns need to be replaced, every seven days, and that's when it's the most dangerous. Everyone had to hold on to their hanging lamp and not let it be blown out by the fog beast. β
"I was killed by the fog beast after the lights went out."
Speaking of his own experience, a frustrated expression appeared on the head of the lantern rider again.
"If only there was still the sun in my hometown."
Lu Yao's heart moved.
Sky lanterns?
Artificial sun?
It sounds like the lamp family has entered a very high stage in the lamp-making industry, which is related to the special local environment.
Slemod asked, "What about the gods of the Lantern Clan?" Does He not care about you? β
"Kami ......"
The lantern rider was silent for a moment: "Many eras ago, I heard that the god of the "Fog Harbor" "Hotaru God" fought with the World Pot and fell into a black mist, and no matter how much he prayed, he could not hear it...... Soon after, an alien god stole our sun. β
"The Lamp Clan is an abandoned people."
Lu Yao rubbed the hot water bottle in his hand.
There are gods who have left behind their believers, such as Yunyuke, and the former prayer gods are also counted.
But this is the first time that the god who fights with a pot and the god who burglaries the sun has ever heard of it.
