Chapter 1004: Let's See What You Use to Burn It

~8 min read 1,474 words

Ang raised a finger, and the Little Ghost emerged, burped, and spat out a 'stone' the size of a fist.

"Is this the power core of that phantom? He wouldn't be the Undying Divine Flame, would he?" Negris asked in shock.

The Little Ghost has a kind of ability: it can condense the power it swallows into a physical object. Before, it had swallowed quite a bit of divine power, and just now Ang had thrown half of the phantom to it. Now it spat out a stone; clearly, this stone was the condensation of the power possessed by that half-phantom.

Now fire was needed, but Ang let the Little Ghost spit this thing out, so it was most likely the Undying Divine Flame.

That phantom was actually the Undying Divine Flame? He personally went out to burn someone else's granary? That's too demeaning, isn't it? Doesn't he have any fanatical believers, divine envoys, or spokespersons?

Ang took out the small flame and pointed at that 'stone'.

The small flame looked at Ang, then at the stone, and pointed at itself in disbelief?

Ang nodded.

The small flame was still a bit hesitant, looked at the Little Ghost, then at the Little Sapling, and whispered: Ao?

The Little Ghost floated down and slapped it on the head, in the exact same posture as Ang slapping the Little Angel.

Although the small flame held its head, its emotions were excited, and it rushed toward the stone cheering, suddenly pouncing on it, wrapping the stone into a burning stone.

The surface of the stone began to melt, emitting a layer of black flame, but it was wrapped inside by the red flame of the small flame, forming a dual-flame structure.

Not long after, the red flame transformed into a small fire person, wrapped around the stone, stood up with a 'swoosh', and emitted an excited: Ao—

"Do you have to be so excited? You are a plane will, it's demeaning." Negris couldn't stand the way the small flame would 'ao' whenever it was excited, and complained.

Ang shook his head: "Flame big, not strong. Divine flame strong, not big."

Negris understood: "You mean, although the small flame is a plane will, its power comes from its size, but the level of power is not as high as the Undying Divine Flame?"

Ang nodded.

"So that's why you gave the Undying Divine Flame to the small flame, so it would be both big and strong." Negris suddenly realized.

The small flame transformed into a human shape, holding the half-melted stone at its belly, running around excitedly, not looking big and strong at all.

After it adapted, Ang pointed at the big mud bottle: "Burn."

"Ao!" The small flame, which used to be reluctant to Ang's orders and wouldn't move unless the Little Ghost beat it, was now extremely proactive. As soon as Ang pointed, it rushed toward the mud bottle, 'paji' pounced on it, and crashed into a pool of flames.

Negris hurriedly shouted, "Be careful, don't burn the bottle. Such a big pottery bottle, the firing speed inside and outside is inconsistent, it's very easy to crack."

Firing large pottery has never been an easy task. After shaping, it must be air-dried. Air-drying is also a delicate job. During air-drying, you must maintain humidity and temperature, neither fast nor slow. Sometimes you need to sprinkle water, otherwise, the surface is very easy to crack.

After air-drying is firing. The firing process must be slowly heated, not fast, and even more so not unbalanced. The temperature must be consistent, otherwise, if the outer layer is fired hard while the inside is not, it will easily shatter.

There is a kind of porcelain craft that uses surface cracking to achieve a glazed effect with cracks on the surface.

However, these difficulties are only what need to be faced when firing large pottery. Ang's current 'giant' pottery—the difficulty is tens of thousands of times that of large pottery. Negris had never seen such giant pottery. If there were, it would simply be a miracle.

But Ang is a god, and every move is a miracle. It was also because of this that he didn't advise Ang to give up at the first opportunity, but he still couldn't help but habitually remind him.

The small flame also listened to the advice. The flames began to spread along the bottle body, and at the same time, penetrated into the mud. Not long after, the entire mud bottle was burning.

"Alright, you treat mud as fuel, burning itself? Is this the Undying Divine Flame?" Negris said in shock.

Burning itself is the basic attribute of flame. Light a fire on wood, and it can burn itself to ash. But being able to make mud burn—this Undying Divine Flame is a bit unreasonable.

From inside to outside, precise temperature control, a pottery bottle with a diameter of 50 meters and a height of 50 meters was fired just like that.

One wasn't enough, Ang fired nine more one after another. Starting from the second one, the first one that had already been completed... calling it a bottle is really insulting it. It's like a reservoir; let's call it a pottery reservoir.

The first completed pottery reservoir began to be filled with ingredients: appropriate malt was added, clean water was added, and suitable yeast was added.

After having the Chaos Mist, the biggest benefit is having 'seeds', such as yeast. It's quite troublesome to find this kind of thing again, but as long as there is a tiny bit of bacterial strain, Ang can quickly cultivate a large pile.

As for brewing wine, it was too easy. Ang chose several different processes and brewed six different kinds of wine with malt as the main material.

Silver Coin rubbed his hands: "This way it won't be wasted, we've made a fortune."

The early stage of brewing wine couldn't use the Instant Death Aura because the lifespan of yeast is too short. If the Instant Death Aura were used, it wouldn't be able to move very far during the time from birth to death, and it wouldn't be able to spread.

Just like when Ang used the Instant Death Aura to deal with bugs, those bugs hatched and died before they could pounce on anyone.

However, after the yeast converts sugar into alcohol, using the Instant Death Aura during the aging stage can greatly accelerate aging. In two days, you can get ten-year-old aged wine, and in ten-odd days, you can get eighty-two-year-old aged malt wine. It will definitely make a fortune.

After the malt was processed and there was no risk of waste, Ang finally became idle.

Anthony hurriedly took the opportunity to report: "My lord, the grain distribution work is going very smoothly. I have divided the distribution work into small quantities and multiple times, distributing it several times to ensure that everyone doesn't go hungry."

Ang tilted his head.

Anthony hurriedly skipped this topic. He knew Ang didn't like to hear about these things, but listening or not is one thing, he couldn't just not mention it at all.

"Du Luo Ken has already modified the control lock of the Heaven-Shocking Thunder defensive magic array. Without our authentication, mages cannot activate it, and even if they do, it can be cut off at any time. There will be no more incidents of being bombed by our own defensive array."

"I asked the city lords in many places. In the past few years, many people from other planes have moved here. Although migration between planes is not a strange thing, these people all have one characteristic: they love to buy land. They buy land desperately. As long as it is idle land that can be cultivated, most of it has been bought by them."

Speaking of this, even Negris couldn't help but ask: "What do you mean? Is it strange to desperately buy arable land? Of course, you have to buy land first when you move here to settle down. Can't they all be farmers?"

"If you were a farmer, would you move to a place where you can't see the sun?" Anthony asked.

"Then why do they want to buy land here?" Negris frowned and asked.

Anthony said: "Unless they know that one day, other places won't be able to grow things, but here it won't be affected."

Negris's spirit lifted: "Light Catastrophe? Do they know the Light Catastrophe will happen?"

Anthony spread his hands: "That I don't know. Maybe it's a coincidence. But what's more coincidental is that most of these people belong to our old friends."

"Old friends? Didn't you say it started a few years ago? We hadn't even been to the Light Alliance then, how could we have old friends?" Negris said in confusion.

"Yes, the Black Rope Legion."
