Chapter 512: Shelter

"Again?"

Aaron raised his hand, wanting to snap his fingers to summon the ultimate "Furnace Fire."

But thinking that this was a Shelter, if he were to unleash his full power, the Weird might be fine, but the entire Shelter might be destroyed.

"Looking at it this way, Aifa giving me the Talismans to contain the Weird beforehand was very farsighted... Divination? No, it should just be taking precautions, right?"

Aaron fished out a Talisman made from a Green Banyan Tree Leaf.

With his knowledge of Occultism, he could naturally identify the purpose and usage of this Talisman with ease.

"You look good, it's a pity you can't speak human language..."

"Big brother..."

And in this kind of life, one simply cannot see where hope lies.

Regarding the worldview of this apocalypse, he offered no opinion and asked the question he cared about most.

Sizzle!

It was like a pool of flowing water, yet it possessed the attributes of a solid; the mere halo of light was enough to make ordinary people dizzy.

Aaron glanced at the girl in red, pressed a Talisman onto the blue-black mark on his palm, and crushed the leaf.

"Yes, and three of them were consumed."

At the same time, the figure of the girl in red opposite him was also gradually fading and dissipating...

Aaron almost wanted to cross his arms: "Pity... I have no interest in you. But do you have any more of that Green Leaf Talisman from yesterday? I can trade a large amount of food for it!"

"No need... I'll give it to you."

And the dreams of these survivors were mostly related to food!

Therefore, Aaron was not at all surprised when he took boiled eggs, smoked sausage, bread, dried mushrooms, and other food out of the void.

Aaron looked at the mark on his palm; his spiritual intuition told him that this mark was constantly strengthening and would sooner or later return to its original state, subsequently issuing a "summons" to that Weird!

"And the time these three Talismans can suppress it... is perhaps only a few short days..."

"If saying a few words of gratitude can earn a lot of food, why not?" Enide looked at Aaron provocatively, having to admit that the other party's looks were also a major factor.

"Hmm? It seems that the research on Weirds in this world is indeed far ahead of mine..."

Aaron's face flushed slightly; it had to be said that in the apocalypse, many things went straight to the essence, lacking many flowery and showy things.

This showed that the Talisman from that "Green Banyan Tree Grandmother" was indeed very effective in restraining the Weird!

"It's just that... the duration is a bit weak."

"Your Excellency... if you still have the ability to conjure food, please help us..." Enide spoke with deep emotion: "The people in the Shelter will be even more grateful to you..."

He did not spread rumors; he had only snuck into some people's dreams last night to gather information.

When the last Green Leaf Talisman turned into tiny emerald-green light spots and vanished, the mark on Aaron's hand had turned light gray.

Then came the third one.

Aaron sat back on the bed, flipped his palm, and an object continuously flowing with a halo of light appeared.

He muttered to himself: "In the coming period, I must try my best to explore the Spirit World... Hmm... Nowadays, entering the Spirit World has become a very convenient matter."

The next day.

Aaron walked around the Shelter and discovered that this Shelter likely had about a thousand people, forming a stable little society.

Aaron extended his right hand toward the void and activated "Thought Alchemy."

"Fine, better than nothing."

"This is the apocalypse..."

The survivors were generally thin; skin and bones were the norm.

Aaron's eyes turned pitch black for an instant, then transformed into pure white.

'But I have to actually like this little sister... malnourished and dirty, and so young... what do you take me for? I am a dignified Count, a little sister could at least be enfeoffed as a Baroness...............'

When his Spirituality calmed down, his pupils, which had originally been like purple gemstones, became even deeper.

Aaron saw the mark that was no longer fading, and the woman's lips about to part again; he shook his head and continued to use the second Talisman.

There was even a small trading market.

"However... it's all ordinary food, and I cannot conjure high-quality seeds that can reproduce infinitely; it is because the power of faith, or belief, is not strong enough... After all, the number of people is too small; refining ordinary food is the limit!"

Aaron asked casually.

"Including you?"

Although it might only be the weakest type among "Unknown-grade" Strange Objects, it was enough to protect a large family or even a kingdom.

"Hmm, if you give them to me, I'll call you big brother." The girl answered without the slightest shyness, as if she were talking about the most ordinary thing.

But at this moment, Aaron casually tossed this property into his mouth, making a crisp chewing sound.

An invisible force emerged, carrying the effects of Ritual Magic, and condensed upon the Weird mark.

"There is still some time before I digest the Spirituality and meet the requirements for advancement."

This was a legacy left by an "Immortal," a generous contribution from the "Son of Dawn."

'As expected... that incarnation of desire did not lie; this woman has a favorable impression of me... A boy must protect himself when out and about.'

A trace of sadness appeared on Enide's expression, and she suddenly thought of something: "You... encountered a Weird again?"

He swung the meat sausage and bread in his hand, preparing to find a place to discard them and see which lucky person would pick them up.

"Hmm... it tastes a bit like jelly..."

Any Crown of the Mortal World, upon obtaining it and the permission of the Ages, can attempt to assault the "Gate of Longevity."

Or, attempt to pray for the mercy of the Ages to craft it into an "Unknown-grade" Strange Object.

To be honest, some places in the Mortal World now make him wonder whether this is the Mortal World or the Spirit World.

Watches, steam castings, canned goods... all dug out from the ruins can be traded here.

He saw Enide coming over with a faint look of disdain on her face, so he hurriedly stuffed all the food to the little girl and waved his hand to make her leave quickly.

At this moment, he saw a short, messy-haired, and scrawny girl staring at him longingly.

"However..."

"Are you talking about the Purification Talisman? It has a very good effect on many curses and not-too-severe Weird erosion... Vick was cured by me using a Purification Talisman before, but unfortunately, he still died at the hands of a bandit group..."

"This..."

Then, he discovered that the girl in red had also vanished without a trace.

Aaron had a smile on his lips and did not mind doing a good deed in passing.

This time, the speed at which the mark faded slowed down significantly...

Aaron stared at his palm and saw the greenish-black mark gradually turning gray.

"Do you want it?"

Of course, the most sought-after item was still food!

Because the population was too large, even though a Nursery had been opened, there were often people who could not get enough to eat or even starved to death.

Aaron raised his palm, and the gray mark in the center was still constantly deepening...

"You've even produced a Talisman that acts like a special medicine?"

"This..."

Enide's pupils constricted as she watched: "Just what kind of powerful Weird did you encounter?"
