Chapter 142: The Covetousness of Mortals (Two Chapters in One)

The streets are noisy and crowded.

Shimu Takuto half-squatted on a slightly remote street corner, his whole body was shrouded in a layer of alienated and faint white light, even though there were people around him, but no one noticed this young man holding an old book.

He stared at Michenzi who was walking with the crowd, and it wasn't until the other party walked into a hundred meters of the target location that he bowed his head slightly in satisfaction and withdrew his gaze that was glued to the other party.

At this moment, it had been four days since he had received the Order of the Moon Attendant and the Book of the Imperial Moon.

In these short four days, Shimu Takuto successfully became a Wangshu Divine Servant by fusing the Order of the Moon Servant.

Although its status is not as powerful as that of the orthodox god Zhu, as an existence with a certain ability to cast spells, it is much better than ordinary believers.

Of course, in these four days, Takuto Ishiki gained much more than that, and he also successfully mastered the secret of the Book of the Imperial Moon.

If the Order of the Moon Servant allowed him to cross the threshold of transcendence, then the Book of the Moon gave him the ambition and confidence to charge the temple, the gods, and even higher positions.

The so-called Book of the Moon is likely to be a high-level artifact related to the Moon Realm, and Ishiki Takuto even guessed that it was simply a relic of the previous Wangshu Shenzhu - that inheritance space of unknown origin really made him think a lot.

The reason why he had such an idea was entirely because the power of the Book of the Moon was too powerful.

Not only is it capable of recording transcendent events related to the moon and presenting them in the form of words on the pages of the book, but it also allows the owner to listen to the oracle from the god of Wangshu!

At night, the Book of the Moon always whispers, and as its bearer, Takuto Ishiki can't ignore it even if he covers his ears, unless he thoroughly understands the content of the oracle's will.

Of course, the whispers from the Book of the Imperial Moon only came out on the first day, and never again after Takuto Ishiki understood its meaning.

The main meaning of this whisper is probably to hope that the followers of the moon god will build a platform to welcome the gods and guide millions of people to gather and pray, so that the will of the gods will descend on this realm.

Truth be told, these whispers don't reveal the true identity of the gods.

But the pure breath that came out at the same time with the murmuring sound, and the same source as the order of the moon servant, made Ishiki Takuren have some conjectures in his heart, and at the same time remembered that this book came from that inheritance space, and in the end, Ishiki Takuto, who was a servant of Wangshu, naturally decided to take over this oracle.

To be honest, whether it is hiding behind the scenes and letting the rest of the people collect materials to make a high platform, or guiding public opinion to ferment without a trace and gather millions of people here, it is not an easy job.

During this period, he not only tried his best to use magic to attract the attention of the world, but also quietly used the worldly power to provide convenience, and the effort and hard work he put in were insignificant.

Fortunately, the sudden outbreak of the Scarlet Moon incident raised the interest of the people of the Neon Country to the peak, and Shi Mu Takuto only slightly created a few gimmicks such as inscriptions and flower trees, which immediately attracted a large number of people to flock to it, and even fooled the local wealthy families who were not weaker than their own or even stronger, so that they were willing to pay out of their own pockets to collect materials to build a high platform.

Overall, the results are good, as evidenced by the fact that the current scene is almost crowded.

"It's almost all here, but there are a lot of uninvited guests......" Takato Ishiki whispered, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he couldn't help but look down at the Book of the Moon in his hand.

At present, the words recorded on the pages of this ancient book have long since ceased to stop at January 9, but have been extended to today, and there are a few more lines of small characters in it.

"On January 9, Takuto Ishiki became a servant of the gods and received an oracle to build a high platform to welcome the arrival of the gods. ”

"From January 10 to January 13, visions were born one after another, and the name of God was spread. ”

"On the 12th of January, the people of the Qingqiu tribe listened to His Holiness's will and crossed the sea to protect the Dharma for God. ”

"On the thirteenth of January, the twisted creatures gathered and hibernated. ”

"On the 14th of January, the meaning of the Autumn Water Female Crown, the Master of the Dragon Court of Michenzi, arrived near the Shentai to protect the people. ”

Qingqiu and Longting are both terms that Ishiki Takuto has never heard of, and he can only vaguely guess that it should be some transcendent force, which is fortunate that these two forces do not seem to have malicious intent.

What really made his heart skip a beat was the dormant twisted creatures.

You must know that in recent times, it is not only Hongkoya City that has been lively, but also some grotesque phenomena have appeared in nearby Saitama City, and the distant Hayashi City, which has caused panic among the general public.

The government refers to the originators of these grotesque phenomena as twisted creatures, which are characterized by their strange and peculiar appearances, and often emit very unpleasant odors, and are usually hidden during the day and active at night.

"According to some gossip, the destructive power of these twisted creatures is really not to be underestimated, and I am afraid that I am a little bit beyond the power of these twisted creatures alone. A dark cloud floated over Shi Mu Tuo's heart.

The status of Wangshu's Divine Servant is not very bad, but as a newcomer, he only has the ability to cast spells, create illusions, communicate with the heart, disappear the moon, and the power of the moon.

The means he had previously used to attract attention were achieved through the first two abilities, and the glimmer of light that now shrouded the surface of his body to make the signs hidden was the third ability.

As for the last power of Yuehua, it is essentially a layer of pure and cool energy attached to the body, and the experienced ability to cover the power of Yuehua all over the body to achieve the integration of attack and defense, but Shimu Takuto can only cover it to the limbs at present, or turn it into a sword-like light blade for short-distance throwing.

His face changed several times, and finally sighed helplessly: "The arrow has to be sent on the string, I only hope that the intervention of those two major forces will make the situation a little better." ”

Takuto Ishaki's eyes became firm, and he walked towards the high platform, and the two abilities of creating illusions and communicating with the mind at the same time began to brew slowly.

......

......

"Is this really a building that has just been built? It looks quite good, it doesn't feel like a project that can be completed in a few days, even if you invite the infrastructure maniac next door to come, I'm afraid it will take at least a week or two, right?"

"No, I'm sure it's the work that was done in the last few days. ”

"So?"

"I live around here! I came here to take a look on the first day of construction, and I took a video and posted it on Tiktoo. ”

"Amazing, yo, look at the color quality of those sapphers and sapphires, tsk, if there weren't too many of them, I would have thought it was real. ”

"It's true!"

"Haha, don't be funny, don't say that there are at least thirty crystal gems here, just the sapphire set in the center of the high platform is estimated to be worth more than one million. ”

"Yes, you don't know if you're from out of town, we, the locals who can get first-hand information, have already studied these thoroughly, these are really not fakes, if you don't believe it, go to Facebaak to see, there are millions of professional identification results, I don't have nonsense. ”

"Shhhh

"It's terrifying, isn't it?"

"The cost of this high platform is too extravagant...... Also, aren't they afraid that someone will steal?"

"You don't have to worry about the cost, the construction leaders who came forward are all rich and famous people in our Hongguya City, and the combined wealth of several families is not bad for this little money, as for stealing, hehe, hundreds of people are working day and night, and there are hundreds of bodyguards guarding the periphery, this place has long been surrounded by an iron wall, if they didn't finally finish building the high platform today, we wouldn't be able to get here, as for why...... Well, the land under their feet extends four or five hundred meters outward, and it is all the assets they bought. ”

"I don't understand, what are they trying to do?"

"What else can you do, aren't they just for the rumored moon god, you don't even know this, do you?"

"Well, I know this, I just happened to pass by Hongguya City, and I heard that there was a moon god here, so I took the time to come over and join in the fun, but I didn't expect there to be so many doorways inside. ”

"Hehe, there are only a few 'coincidental' people like you, oh, look at the full crowd of people around you, they are all clear in their hearts, and they all rushed here for the information I said. ”

The conversation coming to the ear is choppy.

It took a lot of effort for Michenzi to separate the content of the conversation between the two people from the noisy back video.

He digested these contents, his face was a little surprised, and he couldn't help but look at the big man who was guarding near the high platform, and the few people with extraordinary temperament, old or young, male or female, who stood behind the big man but did not step on the steps of the high platform.

His mind turned, he thought about the language, and he wanted to go up and talk, and he wanted to dig up a little information from the other party.

But at this moment, the surrounding environment suddenly fluctuated with faint energy, and there was a tendency to intensify.

"This is ......" Mi Chenzi's pupils shrank, this energy field was very strange, although it was mixed with spiritual power, but it was more of an indescribable, mysterious and majestic charm, as if it was a natural law between heaven and earth.

Michenzi's eyes became solemn, his hands hung down on his knees, and the seal in his hand was ready to be released.

"What's that!"

Suddenly, an exclamation rang out.

The next moment, the crowd was like a pot of oil dripping into clear water, and suddenly it crackled and boiled.

"Petals?"

"It's Laurel!"

"Shouldn't laurel be in bloom in September, why is it still there now?"

"Look! it's coming!"

"Wow, how many laurel petals are there? all hovering over the platform,, god!"

Compared with the excited crowd under the high platform, the rich people closest to the high platform are more excited and excited, even if they are used to seeing the market, they should be more calm.

One of the old men reacted the most violently, his eyes were even bursting with tears, and he took the initiative to kneel on his knees, raise his hands above his forehead, and tremble and chant the words "Xiongmu clan, welcome the moon god".

As soon as these words came out, they immediately woke up the rest of the people around the old man.

Suddenly, the group of people closest to the high platform knelt on the ground one after another, and their reaction led to many ordinary people under the high platform, and most of these kneeling people were local elders who had a deeper understanding of the god of Wangshu.

Of course, many more people stood there at a loss, both for the vision of the sky and for the people around them who reacted quite violently - in their opinion, the vision in the sky, although mysterious and amazing, was not enough to make them kneel, and if it was true, the rest of their minds were much stronger, such as hiding to protect themselves and watching a play secretly, such as controlling a drone and other means to capture a petal and explore.

Although Michenzi saw that the sky petals were most likely just an illusion, he had no intention of intervening, and instead decided to wait and see, after all, his mission was not to destroy this unknown ritual, but to protect the ordinary people present.

However, Michenzi didn't make a move, but the rest of the people tried it.

The construction of the high platform caused a lot of commotion, and although the Neon Mansion couldn't get out of the Scarlet Moon incident, it didn't mean that it had completely given up paying attention to this place.

The investigation team in Shanbei Qi's mouth made a brazen attack at this moment.

"Buzz—"

The buzz of the propeller sounded, and in an instant, more than a dozen delicate drones with a metallic luster appeared out of nowhere, broke straight into the eyes of countless people, and quickly rushed towards the whirlwind of petals in the air.

Obviously, the purpose of their plan was very clear, and they were definitely prepared, but in the blink of an eye, they had already approached the range of ten meters in diameter of the petal whirlwind.

Michenzi squinted and observed.

Sure enough, just three seconds before the drone was about to touch the target, the sky suddenly changed again.

Around the high platform, in the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest, four tall phantoms appeared in turn.

Dressed in bronze armor and armed with the Glaive Broadsword or the Sword of Evil Slayer, they seemed to have been collectively triggered by some kind of mechanism, and they all held their weapons and swung them at the drone.

In an instant, several blades of light like a cold moon appeared out of thin air, and quickly pierced through these presumptuous drones, destroying them all in a time that could not breathe.

Even, as if they had eyes, these blades of light swept straight to certain corners of the street with undiminished power, rushing towards the bodies of several men and women hiding here.

Several screams immediately followed.

The crowd was amazed.

"The phantoms who were short-lived just now are...... Guards?"

"Wow, it's terrifying!"

"No, no one wonders who controlled those drones just now? It's too terrifying and too harmful! I rushed to offend a god! If I accidentally rubbed with those light blades, wouldn't it be gone in an instant?"

"Please ask the gods to bless, don't kill me, don't kill me!"

When the words fell, many people in the crowd fell to their knees and began to pray quietly for blessings, praying that the god of Wangshu would not release the blade of the moon to harm the innocent.

As for the others, even if they didn't kneel, their faces changed drastically, and their original excitement, curiosity, and strong desire to explore were all covered by fear and awe.

"People, it's really reality, how can a god's thing, even if it's just a flower in the mirror, be allowed to be coveted by mortals?"

At this time, he used several spells one after another, and his face looked slightly pale, but the pride and piety became more and more obvious. And the Book of the Imperial Moon in his hand also came from the subtle whispers here, and this voice seemed to develop towards a clearer trend with the passage of time.

"Soon, the oracle's will is almost complete, and the moon god is coming!" Takato Ishiki looked feverish, but after a split second, he jerked his head up.

I don't know when, the blazing sun is gradually fading, and it is actually beginning to transform into the crimson moon!

And the crowded ground environment suddenly had hundreds of mixed distorted breaths!

Takuto Shimu's expression changed greatly.

However, before he could react, a strange evil tree with a crimson body had already broken through the ground, and dozens of branches were like giant pythons, wrapped in an unstoppable majestic momentum, and swept towards the high platform inlaid with sapphires, sapphires, and other valuables!
