Chapter 12: Undying Divine Temple

The next day, Seeing Ange called out Lord Nai Ge Li Si's divine name, and the Huang Tong Dragon's consciousness projected into his soul.

Seeing Ange described the strange connection between himself and the little zombie, and asked what the reason was.

The moment he finished, Lord Nai Ge Li Si blurted out: "Impossible, that's a soul link, but the way you obtained it was it devoted itself to you? A new lich, it devoted its soul to you? What kind of joke is that? You're not a Sovereign."

Seeing Ange tilted his head, as if he understood, as if he didn't, so he just stood there spacing out.

"Hey, hey, hey, say something, what do you mean by ignoring me?" Lord Nai Ge Li Si got angry.

Seeing Ange tilted his head again and said, puzzled: "One question, tomorrow."

Lord Nai Ge Li Si nearly spat out a mouthful of blood: "No, no, no, this isn't one question, I'm asking you, it devoted its soul fire to you? Voluntarily?" Lord Nai Ge Li Si asked urgently.

Seeing Ange nodded.

"But… but…." Lord Nai Ge Li Si didn't know what to say: "But you're not a Sovereign."

Seeing Ange stared at him blankly.

Lord Nai Ge Li Si agonized for a while, but decided it was better to explain clearly, otherwise leaving it half said would drive him crazy.

"You and the little…, this is a lich, Cidore·Chuke? The soul connection between you and Cidore is called a soul link, between two undead. A superior and a subordinate have a soul connection, it cannot betray you, you can control everything about it, including its soul and thoughts, even destroy it."

"There are two situations for a soul link, one is its soul was bestowed by you, was its soul bestowed by you?" Lord Nai Ge Li Si asked.

Seeing Ange shook his head, but asked an unrelated question: "Why is it called Cidore·Chuke?"

Lord Nai Ge Li Si replied impatiently: "Can't you see? It's written on the lapel."

"The other situation is, it devoted a soul covenant to you, did it devote a soul covenant to you? Or rather, do you even know what a covenant is?" Lord Nai Ge Li Si scoffed, not that he looked down on Seeing Ange and the little zombie, but with Seeing Ange's dim-witted look, what could he possibly know? Know how to annoy people.

Seeing Ange shook his head.

Lord Nai Ge Li Si shook his head and sighed: "Neither of the two situations, then there's only the third possibility left, a soul network, but you're not a Sovereign."

Unable to figure it out no matter how he thought, Lord Nai Ge Li Si said: "You'd better look for an Undying Divine Temple that still has believers, if your soul can connect to it, then it's truly a soul network."

After Lord Nai Ge Li Si left, Seeing Ange pulled the little zombie over, pulled open its clothes to check, and sure enough saw a few words on the lapel—Cidore·Chuke.

When that human had starved to death back then, the clothes on his body were still neat, but after turning into a little zombie and running around crazily, the easily worn parts had all been rubbed smooth, leaving only half a piece still worn on the body.

There was a name on the clothes, so this name should be the name of the little zombie's body from when it was alive.

Although the two were not the same soul, the little zombie was just an undead creature spawned from this corpse, it didn't matter, it was just a name, at least better than 'little zombie', less likely to cause confusion.

Seeing Seeing Ange stripping its clothes, the little zombie thought Seeing Ange wanted them, and hurriedly took them off and handed them to Seeing Ange, only when Seeing Ange indicated he didn't want them did it put them back on. But after this fussing, the clothes were even more torn.

Just like that, Seeing Ange occupied this area, cultivated farmland, then moved crushed stones and placed them in rows, and spread luminous moss on top.

Luminous moss, this kind of moss with tenacious vitality, when no one tended it, could grow all over every damp corner, now that someone specially built a suitable growing environment, it naturally grew wildly, not only filling the furrows of the cultivated farmland, but even the rock walls on the edges were covered, entering this area, one look and it was full of fluorescent light, bright as daylight.

With sufficient light, Seeing Ange scattered the seeds onto the ridges built between two rows of luminous moss.

Seeing Ange didn't understand other things, but when it came to planting, he had rich experience, over a thousand years of planting experience, could let him figure out the properties of crops in the fastest speed.

Moss needs moisture, but cannot have standing water, so he laid crushed stones at the bottom of the furrows, crops cannot be too damp, so they must be planted on the ridges, planting in spaced rows was so that every row of crops could receive the light.

Yes, Seeing Ange planned to use the light emitted by the luminous moss to illuminate the crops, as for whether it would work, that was still unknown.

During this time, Philin came again, took out ten soul crystals, traded for forty-five bags of grain, then he saw the luminous moss field Seeing Ange had made, and immediately paid attention.

In his mind, Seeing Ange was a Watcher, he wouldn't do useless things, luminous moss could be used like this?

The biggest problem in the underground city was that arable land was decreasing day by day, having sufficient lighting, and not being blown by the Wind of Rest, satisfying these two conditions was already very difficult, but fertile soil was easy, just spend a bit more effort digging.

If luminous moss could be used like this, then the condition of 'sufficient lighting' could be removed, the underground city had plenty of places to grow things.

A week later, all the sown seeds had sprouted.

……

In a dark corner of the underground city, the corpse of the necromancer lying on the ground had already stiffened and showed livor mortis, this was actually not normal, a week had passed, a normal corpse would have long since rotted and bred maggots.

But he was a necromancer in life, he had too many preservation methods, the erosion of death aura alone was enough to delay the rotting of the corpse.

Without any warning, a ball of red flame ignited on the corpse's head, the corpse suddenly sat up, eyes opened, revealing a pair of black pupils without whites.

On the forehead, a pair of demon-like curved horns grew twisted, a deep voice sounded: "Useless trash, even picking up corpses can be discovered, in the end I, the noble Lord Dimas, have to come do it personally."

After the demon-like muttering, the corpse's curved horns retracted, the pupils returned to normal black and white, even the livor mortis on the body disappeared completely, the skin regained the color and elasticity of a living person.

After tidying up, the demon Dimas looked himself up and down, nodded in satisfaction, pushed open the door and quietly left.

Through a series of winding tunnels and meandering stairs, Dimas crawled out from a thick coffin, identical stone coffins, there were hundreds here.

……

Philin, who had been keeping an eye on Seeing Ange's situation, naturally knew about the sprouting seeds, already living beyond his means, he still scraped together ten soul crystals, using the excuse of trading grain, came over to inspect personally.

After seeing it, Philin was very excited, luminous moss really could provide light for crops, this was far better than their current method of using manpower to provide magic to magic lamps, then using magic lamps to illuminate.

They didn't need all of it, just a little bit of use, and they could save a large amount of manpower.

"My lord, can we use this method?" Philin asked expectantly.

Seeing Ange didn't understand what he meant, tilted his head and looked at him.

This posture scared Philin again, he hurriedly took out another soul crystal with a pang: "Please my lord permit us to use the method you invented, we will pay you a usage fee of one soul crystal per month."

Now Seeing Ange understood, so using someone else's invented method required paying a usage fee. Seeing Ange took the soul crystal and nodded.

One soul crystal was not a small amount, every transaction, Seeing Ange followed the habit from the first time, absorbing half a soul crystal's energy into his own soul, the first time was unintentional, the next two times became routine, one soul crystal could last for two transactions.

Putting away the soul crystal, Seeing Ange suddenly thought of the Huang Tong Dragon's suggestion, he asked Philin: "Is there an Undying Divine Temple here?"

Philin, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, upon hearing this question, felt his soul lurch and rise to his throat again.
