Chapter 234: The Coward Chun Feng Doesn't Deserve It
"Heavenly Kingdom Scepter? In his hands?!" In Ang's consciousness space, Andong Ni, who had just been pulled in, jumped up after hearing Nai Ge Li Si's words and asked excitedly.
"It's not in his hands, it's in the hands of the Great Sage of the Undead Empire. He said it's a reward for completing the task. Why are you so excited? Before, at the Tree of Life, didn't you take a bunch of Archangel Staves? By the way, how did you deal with those things?" Nai Ge Li Si asked curiously.
"Can this be the same?" Andong Ni said anxiously: "Can these things be mentioned in the same breath? Those are just antiques. I found experts to repair them and am preparing to hold a Lost Artifact Exhibition, touring the Eastern Diocese to lure those devout believers from the West over."
"What's the difference?" Nai Ge Li Si asked: "I know a little bit about the Heavenly Kingdom Scepter, but I'm not sure, so I'm asking you. Why don't you, Andong Ni, convert to my believer and let me update my knowledge base?"
Andong Ni glanced at him sideways: "Dream on. My belief in the Lord is firm and unwavering."
After a pause, Andong Ni became serious: "The Heavenly Kingdom Scepter is the key to the Heavenly Kingdom."
Key? Ang and Nai Ge Li Si subconsciously looked at Ang's Dimensional Hand.
"What's the use?" Nai Ge Li Si asked hurriedly.
"According to the descriptions in the holy scriptures I burned, the Heavenly Kingdom Scepter can summon the Heavenly Kingdom to descend," Andong Ni recalled.
"Got it. It can perform spatial positioning, just like when I was used as positioning to descend to the Abyss of Rest," Nai Ge Li Si guessed.
"Hmm, should be. Secondly, it can also summon the Gate of the Heavenly Kingdom," Andong Ni said again.
"Gate of the Heavenly Kingdom? Not the Heavenly Kingdom Ladder? That means it can open a teleportation gate?" Nai Ge Li Si guessed.
Andong Ni nodded: "Should be. Of course, it can also open the Heavenly Kingdom Ladder. Anyway, once you get the scepter, you can communicate and travel to and from the Holy Heavenly Kingdom at any time. Are you saying that the Great Sage is using it as a task reward? As long as someone can solve the grain problem, he will reward the scepter?"
"Yes, that's what Fei Li Ke said." Nai Ge Li Si said.
"This reward has deep meaning. Tsk tsk tsk, the Great Sage is still as cunning and wise as before," Andong Ni praised.
"Hehe, I haven't seen that old undead for more than a thousand years. I hope he doesn't make a mistake. He dares to take out such an artifact that can directly communicate with the Holy Heavenly Kingdom, not afraid that the Church of Light will get it and summon the Holy Heavenly Kingdom back." Nai Ge Li Si didn't buy Andong Ni's words, but instead mocked.
"No, this task and reward are to lure the Church into the trap, because only the Church has the ability to solve the grain problem in the Fallen Land, and only the Church will be interested in the Heavenly Kingdom Scepter. Even if others have the heart, it is impossible to transport grain to the Fallen Land."
Reminded by Andong Ni, Nai Ge Li Si instantly understood: "Oh, the Great Sage hopes to solve the grain problem. Only the Church has the ability to transport a large amount of grain into the Fallen Land. He took this reward to lure the Church. They don't know that the Holy Heavenly Kingdom is already gone, and the Pantheon Square has been dug up by us to plant elf beans, so the Church will definitely be interested in this reward."
Speaking of this, Nai Ge Li Si's mischievous interest came up again: "If the Church gets the Heavenly Kingdom Scepter and returns to the Heavenly Kingdom, and finds the elf beans on the Pantheon Square, will they launch a holy war against the elves?"
"Yes," Andong Ni said with a wry smile: "At least I will be the first to respond and launch a holy war against the elves. So the scepter must not fall into the hands of Gu Li An Ni, otherwise it will be troublesome, and many people will die."
Nai Ge Li Si nodded and asked again: "Is the Great Sage not afraid that the Church will get the scepter and summon the Heavenly Kingdom to descend here, and drive them back to the east again?"
"Descend to the Fallen Land? No, the sky of the Fallen Land is full of spatial rifts, and the Holy Heavenly Kingdom cannot approach," Andong Ni said.
Nai Ge Li Si felt a shock: "Is it really a spatial rift?!" When he was observing the inverted light bands in the sky before, he was guessing whether those were the turbulence sprayed by spatial rifts. He didn't expect it to be true.
After some questioning and exchange, Nai Ge Li Si figured out the background of the Heavenly Kingdom Scepter and discussed the corresponding methods with Andong Ni. Just as he was about to interrupt the soul connection, Andong Ni suddenly remembered something and said:
"By the way, those elves are looking for Lord Ang all over the world, publishing apology letters all over the world, saying that they are willing to accept punishment for their previous offenses, and only hope to get Lord Ang's forgiveness. Now the whole world is guessing who Lord Ang is."
"The elves have softened? So fast? Could it be that the Tree of Life has woken up?" Nai Ge Li Si said in shock. It's only been two months, and the stubborn elves have softened? How is that possible?
Unless the Tree of Life wakes up and forces them to soften, but it shouldn't be. Looking at the Tree of Life's posture, it doesn't look like it can wake up in just two or three months.
"They want to soften, so they soften, and they want to apologize, so they apologize? Think beautifully. Don't pay attention to them. Let them hang for a few months. You pay more attention to their situation," Nai Ge Li Si said.
Nai Ge Li Si doesn't intend to contact the elves now. These elves are too arrogant and uncontrollable. At least wait until the Tree of Life wakes up and there is something to restrain them.
Actually, Nai Ge Li Si had a good impression of Gai La De and Kai Lan Dai Er, but that truth-level mage with a magic-forbidden domain gave Nai Ge Li Si a very dangerous feeling.
After disconnecting the soul connection, Nai Ge Li Si said to Ang: "The Heavenly Kingdom Scepter cannot fall into the hands of the Church. Now the Holy Heavenly Kingdom is stuck above the Abyss of Rest. If they regain control of the Heavenly Kingdom, we will be in trouble. Do you have any way?"
Ang tilted his head and took out a handful of seeds: "Use this."
"Pfft! Isn't this the high-yield grain seed you planted at the beginning? Ku Ba Da, I forgot about it. You can do seasonal ripening in the environment of the Palace of Rest where soil and water are lost. Can you do three-month harvesting and high yield in fertile land?" Nai Ge Li Si asked.
"Early breeding, can," Ang said.
"Ku Ba Da, it turns out you had already decided what to plant here, just waiting for the eternal night to pass. Then what have you been doing for the past few days, turning the ground and planting glowing moss, busy non-stop?" Nai Ge Li Si had a feeling of heartache.
Ang tilted his head and said truthfully: "Play."
Pfft pfft pfft pfft~~~ Spraying blood all over the ground, if there is any.
The grain seeds Ang cultivated in the Palace of Rest are a truly high-yield crop. Over the past thousand years, the fertility of the farm has continued to be lost. In order to ensure that the crops can be harvested before the end of each growing season, Ang has been continuously improving the grain seeds for a thousand years.
These grain seeds cultivated in extreme environments immediately exploded with astonishing power when taken to fertile land outside. Ang's fastest speed before was ripening and harvesting in one and a half months.
However, this fast harvesting method led to low yield. Later, he mastered the Speed Death Halo, and the advantage of short growth time was no longer an advantage. Then there were long-grain rice with super good taste, and saltwater magic rice that could be planted in saltwater, which led Nai Ge Li Si to ignore these primitive grain seeds.
Short growth time and relatively high yield—isn't this the artifact most suitable for this plane?
However, what makes Nai Ge Li Si feel the most heartache is that Ang clearly decided what to plant long ago, but still busied himself in vain for several days, making Nai Ge Li Si worry about him, fearing that this dead skeleton would be frustrated and sad. Ah pfft!
For the next period of time, Ang was reclaiming and organizing the farmland, such as adjusting the fertility and pH of the land, plowing, inactivating, purifying, burying base fertilizer, etc. To make crops grow well, early work is very important.
Some work is very troublesome for ordinary farmers to do, but it is easy for Ang to do it. Just continue to cast purification spells.
So in a territory of the undead, there is a "sizzle sizzle sizzle" sound at any time, accompanied by the smell of drying quilts. The death aura hidden in the deep layer is purified clean, and even some insects and bacteria with tenacious vitality cannot survive.
Just when Ang was preparing the land, in the slums behind the Holy Wall City, the Great Sage was also overwhelmed, because there were too many things to deal with. At this moment, he deeply felt the disadvantage of the small number of intelligent undead creatures.
For example, now, even work like interrogation requires him to do it himself.
"This suspect, robbery, murder." The undead under his command directed some skeletons to push rows of criminals up and pointed to one of them and said.
"Robbery? Murder? Suspect, please raise your head. Have you done such a thing?" Following the Great Sage's questioning, the criminal raised his head, his eyes gradually became blank, and he responded blankly: "Yes... killed two..."
The Great Sage clearly used some kind of mental interrogation technique and asked for the confession all at once. Hearing the answer, he waved his hand simply: "Chop him."
It was said to be chopped, but after being pushed to the side, a silver skeleton held a bone dagger and stabbed it in from the position of the criminal's chin, stabbing straight into the brain, and stirred hard.
The bone dagger can enter the brain straight from this position without damaging the structure of the skeleton, and stir it again, and he will be dead. In this way, a complete corpse can be obtained.
Of course, you can also stab it in from the eye socket, but if you stab it in from the eye socket, the eyes won't be saved. What if this corpse turns into a lich? Wouldn't it become a one-eyed lich?
Even such details are considered so clearly, worthy of being the Undead Empire.
"This suspect, theft, huge amount."
"Chop off the hand."
"This suspect, rape."
"Chop him."
"This suspect, rape, little girl."
"Throw into the Soul Prison, burn to death." Soul Prison is a more terrifying punishment than the death penalty. The soul will be scorched.
Normal creatures will faint or die when burned by fire.
But Soul Prison scorches the soul, and you can't faint at all, and it's hard to die. Burning to death refers to the wisdom in the soul being burned until it no longer knows who it is.
The Great Sage was judging rapidly. Under his mental pressure, these people who committed crimes were all very honest and admitted their crimes.
The trial is just one of the things. What is more troublesome is supporting those captured humans.
For these years, the Great Sage has been tirelessly increasing the number of living things, trying to support more population.
Some people feel that undead creatures are immortal and eternal, but that refers to high-level undead creatures. Although low-level skeletons and zombies will not die, they will wear out.
Normal human bone joints are worn out by the age of fifty-six. This is still because there are skin, flesh, fascia, and membranes protecting them.
Skeletons don't have this protection. If they move like humans, in ten years, their joints and soles will be worn away.
If you want to protect these low-level undead creatures to the greatest extent, letting them lie dead and not move is the best. Lying in the dead land covered by soil, it can greatly delay this wear and tear.
However, no matter how much it is delayed, more than a thousand years is the limit. If there is no new corpse supplement, all undead creatures will eventually rot.
Most of these undead creatures have followed them from major planes to fight back more than a thousand years ago, and many of them are rotten. If this continues, I am afraid that only those high-level ones, skeletons and zombies whose bones, skin, and flesh have become metallic, can move.
Therefore, living things are not the enemies of undead creatures, but the foundation of the Undead Empire. Undead creatures are not the enemies of living things, but a new form after life dies.
However, this interdependent relationship has been gradually distorted under the propaganda of the Church of Light, and finally became irreconcilable.
Why do undead creatures kill you? They don't eat people.
This time, the defeat of the Church of Light left hundreds of thousands of living things in the Fallen Land, including people, horses, and cattle. This is a huge wealth.
The Great Sage doesn't care much whether his subordinates are humanoid skeletons or horse-shaped corpse witches, as long as they are undead creatures.
The only difficulty is how to support these hundreds of thousands of living people. The supplies left behind when the Church of Light withdrew, and the villages opened by humans nearby, can provide part of the grain, supporting one or two eternal nights.
But for sustainable development, the problem of grain self-sufficiency must be solved, otherwise, what is finally obtained is only hundreds of thousands of corpses.
To solve this problem, the Great Sage didn't hesitate to take out the Heavenly Kingdom Scepter. He didn't believe the Church of Light wouldn't take the bait.
Solving the grain problem, the Fallen Land will have hundreds of thousands more living people, but taking back the Heavenly Kingdom Scepter is equivalent to getting the key to open the Heavenly Kingdom.
Just when the trial of criminals was halfway through, someone suddenly came to report: "Great Sage, there is a teleportation request for the teleportation array."
The Great Sage felt a shock: "It's here! You come to interrogate." The Great Sage drifted away excitedly and pointed to the undead who pushed the criminals up.
"Me? Great Sage, I don't know how... uh, okay, I'll interrogate. This one, murder? Chop him."
"This one, adultery? Hmm, chop him? Chop him, chop him."
"This one, cheating, chop him."
"This one, prostitution? Chop him."
"Chop, chop, chop!"
The Great Sage came to the teleportation array, full of expectations. Who will the Church of Light send to talk to him?
A flash of light, and several human farmers appeared in the teleportation array.
Not the Church of Light? The Great Sage was stunned. These people didn't have any holy light aura on them.
Seeing the Great Sage, one of the farmers said loudly: "Is the adult in front the Great Sage of the Undead Empire? We are members of the Druid Guild. This is the breeder of high-yield grain seeds with a thousand catties per mu in the Chun Feng Cup Druid Competition. Great Sage, we have brought you high-yield grain seeds."
The inventor of the high-yield grain seeds curled his lip and said disdainfully: "There will be no Chun Feng Cup in the future. That coward Chun Feng is not worthy of naming the grain seed competition after his name." ===== CHAPTER 235 =====
