Chapter 184
"What!? The gods of light are coming back?!" After listening to the thing that made Xia Mala unable to eat, Negris felt that he wouldn't be able to eat either.
"Yes, or not coming back, it could also be rebirth or some other situation, because I feel that a force is competing with me for the power of light, and it is becoming stronger and stronger," Xia Mala said.
Negris had to take this sentence seriously. Xia Mala stole the faith of the gods of light. Strictly speaking, she could already be counted as a false god, although this false god was a bit weak, and was also unlucky enough to run into the hands of a "true god" twice. But she was a member of the light faith system, and her feeling wouldn't be wrong.
"Could it be a false god like you, who noticed the disappearance of the gods of light, so is competing with you for divine power?" Negris thought of another possibility, and even had a suspect: Anthony.
That guy knew that the gods of light had disappeared, and also knew that Xia Mala stole the divine power of light. Would he not get involved? Maybe it was him who was competing with Xia Mala for divine power?
Xia Mala shook her head: "Impossible, because the other party's affinity is higher than mine, and the divine power of light is more inclined to him. It can't be another faith thief; it can only be light itself."
Negris gasped. If this were true, the trouble would be big. Whether it was the return of the gods of light or the formation of a new god, it was a seriously unfavorable piece of news for them.
The Church of Light is now a mess. Anthony digging the wall to become independent was because he confirmed that the gods of light had disappeared, and only a batch of holy spirit angels who were more iron-headed than dwarves remained, so he dared to do it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have laid out the layout for a thousand years, but faked his death and ran away because he wanted to be Pope.
If the gods of light return or are reborn, Anthony will be the first to be nailed to the stake, wrapped in a shroud, and burned to death with holy flames.
And the Church of Light, which integrates all forces, will also become incomparably powerful, and will no longer be like before, where a commander of the Holy Blade Army would dare to damage the public to enrich the private and not work.
Without the suppression of the Undead Monarch and the sturdy bone Luoke, the abyss will never have a peaceful day.
Trouble, trouble. Negris turned around in circles on the spot, and suddenly reacted: Ku Ba Da, what does this have to do with him? This should be Anthony's headache.
Reacting, Negris breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly thought of a question: "Why did you tell us? Do you think we can solve this problem that makes you unable to eat? And what does this have to do with eating?"
Xia Mala was also a bit confused. She muttered uncertainly: "I don't know either, but there is a voice in my heart telling me that you can help me solve it."
"Outrageous, what voice in your heart... Uh, you are a false god. The voice in your heart, isn't that a divine skill? Ku Ba Da, you wouldn't have awakened a divine skill, would you?" Negris was shocked.
Xia Mala stared with big eyes, looking blank. She was just a former saint who became a false god by stealing divine power, and didn't understand these things very well.
"Uh, then what other voices did you hear in your heart?" Negris asked tentatively. If Xia Mala's feeling wasn't isolated, then it was very likely a divine skill. Conversely, it was her wishful thinking.
Xia Mala stood still for a while, as if listening to something, and then suddenly untied her hair and bowed to Ang.
"Uh, you are too polite. What kind of salute is this? No need, no need. We didn't do anything either." Negris was hurriedly polite.
Xia Mala raised her head, looked at him with a strange expression, and lowered it again, pointing at her own skull with her finger: "The voice in my heart tells me that you can cure my hair loss."
Xia Mala had hair loss, and it was a bit serious. It was sparse, and you could see the scalp in many places. You didn't feel it when it was tied up, but once untied, it was like a thin layer of gauze covering her head.
Negris breathed a sigh of relief: "This is good, this is what we are familiar with. How about this, we cure your hair loss, and you go help us kill someone."
Xia Mala thought for a while, and somewhat hesitantly opened her mouth and took off her gloves: "There is also this, and this. Fallen power has eroded my body. If you can cure these things on me, I will accept your employment."
Negris leaned over and took a look, frowning and saying: "This is tooth decay and wear, and nail loss. Are you sure it's erosion by fallen power? Isn't it because you are old?"
Xia Mala's tooth situation was much better than many similar humans in this era. After all, she was already sixty or seventy years old. She looked like a young woman on the surface, but that was because the power of holy light was protecting her.
Now that she had fallen, these places lost protection, and aging was very normal.
A sixty or seventy-year-old old woman, where would she still have teeth?
Xia Mala stared, angry: "It was eroded."
Xia Mala, who hadn't been angry even when a sickle was held to her head, was suddenly angry. This made Negris somewhat stunned. Did he say something wrong?
"Good, good, good, erosion, erosion. I'll see if I can cure it," Negris said, then turned back and asked: "Can it be cured?" It turned out his "see" was this kind of "see".
Ang tilted his head, didn't answer, walked straight up, came to Xia Mala, and reached out his hand.
Xia Mala didn't resist, just stood quietly, even though Ang's hand was suspended over her head. This was actually a very submissive posture, because Ang could slap her head and smash it at any time.
If it weren't for being beaten up, this fallen angel would never have let anyone put their hand on her head.
Sprinkled a little holy essence, took out the little sapling, and put it on her head. It hadn't been able to appear for a long time. The little sapling waved its leaves excitedly: Force—force—grow—force—force—grow—, sending out information more enthusiastically than ever before.
Unfortunately, it was reversed. Ang twisted the flowerpot half a turn and pointed his finger at the top of Xia Mala's head.
The little sapling pulled the edge of the flowerpot, was blank for a while before reacting, and waved its leaves again: Grow—force—grow—
While the little sapling was catalyzing, Ang also sacrificed holy light, shining it on Xia Mala's head.
Xia Mala stood obediently, rolling her eyes upward, looking at the holy light, wanting to reach out and grab it several times.
However, a voice in her heart roared repeatedly: Don't move! Do you want to die? Don't move! Do you want to die?! If you move, you die!
Death wasn't very scary, just knowing she couldn't grab it. She couldn't grab these holy lights: "Such pure holy light, you are the true light."
Ang tilted his head. He saw soul flames surging from Xia Mala's body, as if wanting to invest into his body, but they took a turn halfway and shrank back into Xia Mala's body.
Only to see her smiling sincerely: "I cannot believe in you. I want my own light."
Ang nodded.
Negris was confused on the side. What does this mean? Listening to this, did Xia Mala almost believe in Ang?
Ku Ba Da, do you have to be so exciting? A false god who steals the divine power of light wants to believe in Ang?
Not to mention whether a false god becoming Ang's believer would be too shocking, if she really became a believer, wouldn't Ang be able to increase his efforts to steal the divine power of light through her as a node?
Listening to this, Xia Mala almost believed it, but didn't in the end? Ku Ba Da, why didn't she believe it? Why didn't she believe it? You believe in Ang, see if this dead skeleton will suck the divine grid of light dry.
Negris was so anxious that his hands and feet twitched, wishing he could go up and choke her neck, forcing her to believe. However, Ang just nodded like that, as if nothing had happened, almost making the brass dragon anxious to death.
Under the combined force of life essence, holy light, and the little sapling, some small hair stubble grew on Xia Mala's head.
Xia Mala touched it, felt the obvious difference in touch, and couldn't help but say: "Really amazing, even the power of light can't cure hair loss, ah—" After finishing, Xia Mala opened her mouth wide.
Negris noticed that Xia Mala's problems were all in places like hair, nails, and teeth, but the skin and flesh on her body were exceptionally vibrant. Not only were there no wrinkles on her face, but there were no color spots either. The only disadvantage was that it was a bit dry.
Why is there such a difference? These places are all ends of keratin and bone that blood cannot reach. From a biological point of view, they are dead things. When a creature is old, these places are the first to have problems. Holy light is ineffective against dead things.
Hair and nails, as long as the body is still "alive", will naturally grow and push out the old ones, but teeth are different. Human teeth grow only twice in a lifetime. After there are no milk tooth germs, no matter how much essence liquid and holy light there is, it is impossible for teeth to grow out again.
"How about I find something to supplement you?" Negris said.
Ang didn't say anything, and Xia Mala didn't move, just kept her mouth open like that. Clearly, Xia Mala already understood that Ascetic Ang was the useful one, and that dragon only knew how to move its mouth.
Ang thought for a while, pulled out a bottle of concentrated essence insect ash liquid, picked a drop, and dripped it onto one of the rotten big teeth, then cast a Rebirth Technique on that big tooth.
The tooth grew pulp, periodontal, and enamel at a speed visible to the naked eye. The speed slowed down halfway, and Ang cast two more Rebirth Techniques. A rotten big tooth just grew into a rice-white, shiny, healthy tooth.
"This also works? Insect ash liquid doesn't go to revive dead things? Used to fill teeth? Rebirth Technique doesn't go to resurrect dead people, used to fill teeth?" Negris's whole dragon was not good.
The effect of insect ash liquid to revive dead things could actually be used like this? It's like using a Death Sickle to cut grass. Only this vegetable-planting skeleton could do it.
Ang felt that the effect of the concentrated insect ash liquid was overflowing, so he changed to ordinary insect ash liquid, painted it all over Xia Mala's teeth, dripped a drop where there were cavities, and cast Rebirth Technique.
A few minutes later, Xia Mala revealed a mouthful of small white teeth, smiling exceptionally brilliantly, and left a sentence: "I'm going to kill someone," and flew away.
Returning to Dragonfall Lake, Negris told the story. Lisa ran over with sparkling eyes: "My lord, my lord, I heard you can whiten teeth. Look at me, ah—"
Clang, the poster of the beauty salon in Beauty City was torn down. Lisa's mouthful of small white teeth, smiling brilliantly, was printed on it with magic rubbing. Large common text, elf text, dwarf text, and dragon patterns were written on it: Tooth decay treatment and whitening full set, one hundred thousand magic crystals, buy soon.
Not only the poster, Lisa, Anna, Lan, Sawa, Shafiya, and Waniya all went out collectively, sending out flyers everywhere from street corners to docks, revealing a mouthful of white teeth to everyone they met, dazzling others so much they couldn't open their eyes.
Especially Waniya, the dignified minotaur, whose mouth was opened so wide that others thought she was going to bite someone, scaring them into fleeing. However, despite the shock, that mouthful of healthy white teeth left a deep impression.
The news that Beauty City could cure tooth decay spread rapidly along the East River, and spread to Luolan City, slowly radiating outward.
At the same time, another piece of news spread: Duke Leite was molesting women near the city gate and was killed on the spot by that woman among heavy guards. After a careful inquiry, it turned out that the woman was the fallen angel Xia Mala.
Everyone who heard this news only said one sentence: Deserved, deserved, and then went on to do what they were doing.
Recently, Xia Mala's news could be said to be on the hot list every day. Even the people polluted by her could form a Fallen Legion. What is killing a duke?
Not to mention that Duke Leite molested her first.
Things were just so coincidental. Xia Mala was preparing to sneak into the city to kill Leite. Who knew that just after entering the city, she ran into Duke Leite's team. Xia Mala, with a mouthful of white teeth, full head of hair, young and beautiful, charming and pleasant, yet pure and holy, attracted the Duke's attention at a glance.
Coupled with her civilian woman's attire, it made Duke Leite feel pity and love, thinking she was a commoner, so he wanted to invite her back to the castle for a good care. Never expected that the other party would suddenly transform, slap and explode the face of his chief sword saint guard, then turn his team upside down, and finally hit him with a black holy flame, and he was directly judged.
"Deserved, Xia Mala doesn't kill many people. Leite actually dared to molest her? Deserved to be judged."
The news spread like this, and no one cared anymore. Fallen angel killing people, isn't it very normal? We also want to catch her, but we can't catch her.
Not only did the natives not care, even Negris didn't care anymore. He was discussing more serious problems with Anthony: The gods of light were returning.
Anthony's voice was shaking: "Are you sure? Are you really sure? Are the gods of light really returning?"
"It could also be rebirth. Xia Mala said it. She felt that someone was competing with her for the divine power of light. Is it really not you?" Negris asked.
"It's me a ghost. If I really had that ability, I would have stolen it long ago. Why would I make it as troublesome as it is now? It's over, it's over. Whether it's rebirth or return, my trouble is big. What to do, what to do? Should I run away?" Anthony was a bit panicked.
"What are you running for? You go find out who is competing for faith, and find a way to kill him. According to this situation, even if it is rebirth, the newly born gods of light will not be strong enough," Negris said.
"I, you, say it easily, I..."
Just as they were talking, Lisa suddenly ran in and said with a strange expression: "My lord, the Silver Knight Regiment is here to visit."
"Silver Knight Regiment? Didn't the last explosion kill their high-level officials? What are they doing visiting us?"
"Seems like they want to collect protection money."
