Chapter 243: Someone Recited Its Divine Name
Ang spat out the Congxin Fire and stared at it curiously.
"You've been watching it for half a day, still watching? What's so good about it?" Nigris said angrily.
In its heart, the flame of jealousy was burning, just like a farmer who had worked hard for half a year and just harvested a little grain, seeing a neighbor sitting at home and being smashed by a mountain of grain.
"Its soul flame, so many." Ang said.
"So many? How many is so many?" Nigris was greatly encouraged. So many soul flames meant many believers. A Congxin Fire that had just taken shape couldn't even be counted as godhood, so where did the believers come from?
"More than the Undead Godhood." Ang said.
Star Republic, Star Mage Tower.
It was called a Mage Tower, but it was actually a huge magic academy, with a total area of maybe several hundred square kilometers. More than a dozen scattered high towers were distributed among them, interspersed with some building complexes, extending all the way into the sea, and many buildings were even built on the sea surface.
The Earth Mage sub-tower was also a huge building complex, surrounding the high tower in the middle, laid out in a scattered manner.
In the square in front of the gate, spatial fluctuations occurred, and a figure flashed out.
Some students meditating and reading in the square looked up and stopped paying attention.
In the Star Mage Tower, there were not many mages who could use spatial teleportation, but there were also several dozen, so they were long used to it.
The person who came must be a certified mage. If it wasn't a certified mage, the defensive magic arrays arranged around the square would have been operating at this moment, splitting the other party into charred meat.
Xiludi lifted her skirt and ran quickly toward the high tower. A male mage with floating robes, elegant and graceful, wearing a high pointed hat, came out of the tower.
As soon as Xiludi saw him, her eyes lit up, and she ran over greeting him: "Senior Jacques."
"Huh, it's little Xi Lu Di, hello, long time no see." Mage Jacques looked only thirty or so, but he called her little Xi Lu Di as soon as he opened his mouth, obviously much older.
"Long time no see, Senior Jacques, take off your hat and let me see." Xiludi said.
Jacques's expression changed, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and he said angrily: "What do you mean?"
"Senior, don't be angry, I have good things to introduce to you, let me see your head first, come on, come on." Xiludi grabbed Jacques's arm and shook it.
Who could resist this coquettishness? Jacques, helpless and annoyed, took off his hat, quickly revealed his shiny bald forehead, and then quickly put the hat back on.
Xiludi was even more excited, her eyes shining, and she said excitedly: "Senior, your forehead is so bright, the effect will be even more obvious."
Jacques said angrily: "What do you mean? Your senior is over fifty, staying up late every day, isn't it normal to be bald? Don't be proud, you will have this day too."
"No." Xiludi laughed proudly: "Look, la la la, la la la~~"
Humming a little tune, she pulled her forehead open and showed it to Jacques.
Jacques looked suspiciously for a long time. Xiludi's hair hadn't fallen out completely before, it was just a bit sparse, so even if hair stubble grew out now, the contrast wasn't obvious.
For a man, a wife's makeup can't be seen, so how could he notice the thin hair of a junior sister?
But after looking carefully, it was definitely not sparse. This didn't look like the forehead of a proper thirty-year-old female mage. She must have used some improper methods.
Jacques's expression became serious, and he warned: "What evil magic did you use? Tell me quickly, I'll go and criticize it."
Xiludi immediately stuffed him a small card and said: "Senior, report my name, 1% off."
Originally they should have set off to find the Land of Slumber, but the dimensional beast spread out on the ground, howling that its injuries hadn't healed yet and it couldn't do anything, needing to rest for a period of time.
In the dimensional world, dimensional beasts and spatial mages were the protagonists. Big Cat's injuries hadn't healed, so it definitely couldn't go. But Xiludi, who had opened the door to a new world, could no longer sit still. She took the job of promotion and returned to the Mage Tower. Such good benefits must be shared with the seniors.
Mainly because there was a commission for promotion. According to the price of these services, as long as she could find five seniors, her material fees for this year would be earned.
However, she miscalculated one thing. She could promote to seniors, and seniors could also promote to other seniors, and the effect was better than hers.
A few days later, Ya Ke threw away his high-pointed hat and wandered around with a head of thick hair. Whenever he met someone, he would shake his head and toss his hair, pretending to show it off to you inadvertently.
But the effect was indeed good. Jacques's hairless situation had long been seen by everyone. Now with a head of hair, everyone thought he was wearing a wig, and they asked him where he bought it, and then were stuffed with a small card: "Report my name, 1% off."
Xiludi originally planned to wait for Jacques to return from treatment, have an example for comparison, and then go to trick more people. Who knew that Jacques returned and directly became her competitor, snatching all her potential customers.
"Gulu Gulu, miscalculated." Xiludi was angry and went to find Jacques's wife, showing off her face that had been whitened, tenderized, dead skin removed, hair removed, wrinkles removed, and brightened for free.
The points returned from the customers Jacques pulled were spent back by his wife.
Next, Xiludi focused on female mages and the wives of male mages, opening up this part of the market. In order to facilitate their consumption, she didn't hesitate to use her spatial teleportation ability, going and returning on the same day...
Jacques returned home and saw his wife who was twenty or thirty years younger. His wife also looked at her husband who had dense hair and was elegant. Dry firewood suddenly burned.
Then she paid the money with tears in her eyes the next day.
Nigris looked at the increasing number of magic carriages parked in Meishencheng and asked curiously: "Why are there more and more mages?"
Lisha introduced: "We have opened up the market of the Star Republic, where there are the most mages."
"Oh? A country established by mages?" Nigris asked. It didn't know much about this Star Republic. When it was caught, this country didn't exist yet.
During this period, more and more mages from the Star Republic came, most of them were female mages and relatives of mages. You know, when women do beauty, their mouths are particularly broken. From family affairs to marriage and funeral, there is nothing they don't talk about.
Lisha now knows the Star Republic like the back of her hand and said: "Yes, I heard it was established by a mage from a mage tower called Star Mage Tower more than 700 years ago. It is on a peninsula on the other side of the desert, surrounded by the sea on three sides, and the rest is surrounded by the desert. It mainly communicates with the outside world through ships."
"The highest power organ is the Representative Council, selected by the mentors of each mage tower or participating in the meeting in person to discuss policies. The current Representative Council has seven representatives, all of whom are Truth Mages..."
Speaking of this, Nigris had already gasped: "Seven Truth Mages?"
Elves have tens of millions of people, and only three Truth Mages. This Star Republic has less than 500,000 people, and actually has seven Truth Mages. Are they doing wholesale?
Lisha nodded: "Seven, only more, not less. But according to what they said, there are only three council members now, namely Blue Star Deity Diluni, Death Star Aubenli, and Giant Star Thunder."
"I know Deity Diluni. The Plane Security Conference seems to be presided over by him. My grand-nephew has fought with him and is very powerful. But Death Star, Giant Star, why are these titles so strange? Is there anyone called Death Star?" Nigris was surprised.
Lisha's expression was strange, saying: "Because Aubenli is a lich."
"Puff, lich? The representative of the Star Republic is a lich? How is it possible? Can the Church of Light tolerate it?" Nigris was shocked.
Lisha couldn't answer this question. Nigris hurriedly went to find Ang and pulled Anthony in to ask.
"Of course it can't tolerate it, but it can't beat it, so it has to tolerate it even if it can't," Anthony said easily.
How could the Church of Light tolerate the existence of a regime with heretics in its high level? Since the establishment of the Star Republic, the Church of Light's expeditions, subversions, and assassination plans against it have been endless, but they have had no effect.
The location of the Star Republic is too remote. To go on an expedition, one must cross thousands of kilometers of desert or attack from the sea.
However, the Star Republic is all mages. Long-range harassment, forbidden spells slaughtering cities, and close-quarters combat are all good at it. If they come by land, they will die. If they come by sea, it goes without saying.
The more people who go on an expedition, the faster they die. If the grain road is cut off, everyone will die of thirst and hunger.
The only effective way is to blockade, and no materials can be transported to the Star Republic.
This made those mages in the Star Republic unhappy. Nine Truth Mages teleported in groups, raided remotely, and burned more than a dozen churches of the church, forcing the church to sit at the negotiating table.
Since then, no one has dared to have ideas about the Star Republic, because of the open attitude toward non-human creatures. As long as there is no too bad behavior, they can come to the Star Republic. In the Star Code, the first article is: The stars must be brilliant and colorful...
"Wait a minute, didn't you say seven? How did it become nine again? How many Truth Mages are there?" Nigris asked.
Anthony glanced at it and said slowly: "People, will die."
In the 700-year history, the number of Truth Mages in the Star Republic has been uncertain. At most, there were nine, and at least one or two, because most of them are life species, and they hang up when their lifespan is up.
"The only one that runs through the entire history is Death Star Aubenli. She is a lich. From the day the Star Republic was established, she was one of the representatives. In the darkest moment of the stars, she was also supporting the entire Republic. Many magic systems have cut off inheritance, and she also brought students out with her own hands. If you want to locate, then this Aubenli is the Mother of Stars."
Nigris was dumbfounded. Is this experience too legendary?
Just as it wanted to ask something else, suddenly, a harsh alarm sounded throughout Meishencheng.
The alarm was not sounded by Meishencheng, but by a Star Mage. Following the alarm, in Meishencheng, whether it was bathing, foot washing, sand bathing, beauty and hair growth, as long as it was the family of the Star Mage, everyone was jumping around and running away.
"Hey hey hey, you haven't paid yet," Lisha shouted anxiously.
"Put it on Xiludi and Jacques's account!" The fleeing mages shouted without looking back: "Run, the old witch is coming."
The Star Mages who rushed to the street showed their magical powers. Some crushed rings, some tore scrolls, some joined hands to open teleportation arrays, swishing and projecting away. In less than a few minutes, they ran clean.
The speed was so fast that Nigris was dumbfounded. This was special training, right? With such a fast transfer speed, if these mages were trained into a surprise attack force, they could easily take down a city. The speed of closing the gates of a big city might not be as fast as their transfer speed.
What is the background of this old witch? Can she scare a bunch of Star Mages into fleeing?
Above the clouds, a black dot fell, diving directly toward Meishencheng. If no one blocked it, it would fall on the palace in the center of Meishencheng.
Ang's heart moved, and a huge figure rushed into the sky outside the city. The bone dragon flew over, picked them up, and then circled to meet the sky.
The diving black shadow also saw the bone dragon and seemed to give up diving in surprise, hovering.
Getting closer and closer, one could see the black shadow clearly. It was also a bone dragon, more than twenty meters long, with bones exposed, and only the bone wings covered with black cloth, sewn into wing surfaces that could catch the wind.
This is the real bone dragon, more like an undead creature than Ang's dragon with living skin as a covering.
To distinguish, let's name the other party's dragon as the cloth-wing dragon for now. Only to see a petite figure in a cloak standing on the back of the cloth-wing dragon, bowing her head, looking at Ang and his party in surprise, until the bone dragon rose to the same height as her.
At this time, she also saw Ang and Nigris on the back of the bone dragon, and said in surprise: "Bone dragon? Covering? Undead creature?"
After speaking, she remembered something, hurriedly took off her hood, revealed a shriveled and wrinkled little face, and added: "Star Republic, Death Star, Aubenli, may I ask who you are."
"You are Aubenli?" Nigris looked at this little girl lich in surprise. It turned out that the old witch was talking about her?
Although full of wrinkles, this lich could clearly see the characteristics of a little girl. It is estimated that she was only fifteen or sixteen when she died, and her head hadn't grown yet.
"You have a good eye. This one is indeed a bone dragon. My name is Nig, and this is Ang. May I ask what advice you have for coming to our territory?" Nigris asked.
"Nig? This name is a bit familiar. Where have I heard it?" Aubenli looked Nig up and down and asked in surprise: "You are also an undead creature? Why are you so fresh? Did you just die not long ago?"
Then, her gaze turned to Ang again, looking at him with a frown. She felt that this human was a bit strange, but couldn't say where it was strange.
"I came here because I found that my students have been asking for leave frequently recently, or not returning at night, and have large expenses. In your place, is there any illegal, obscene, and unclean activity that tempts my students, speak!" Aubenli said, suddenly shouting sharply.
Nigris felt a bit strange, scratched his head and asked: "For example?"
"Do I still need to say? Gambling, drinking, paid companionship, etc., are there? If there are these unclean things, I will dismantle your place immediately," Aubenli said strictly.
Nigris knew why he felt strange. Isn't this a guidance director? It turns out she came to catch students who skipped class. No wonder those Star Mages would be scared to run away without paying when they heard the old witch was coming.
Hahaha, well done. Your students skipped the bill, teacher, pay the bill. Nigris's face was suddenly piled with smiles, staring at Aubenli like seeing a small fat sheep.
Aubenli saw this expression, and the familiar feeling in her heart rose again, and she couldn't help asking: "Is your real name Nigris?"
Boom! Nigris was struck by lightning. Divine name, someone recited its divine name! ===== CHAPTER 244 =====
PS: Under everyone's guidance, my waist is much better.
