Chapter 331

~14 min read 2,779 words

Facts proved that Na Nai Nai Nai Ge Li Si thought too much. Engraving divine patterns cannot turn blank godhood into forging godhood. It's just that after having divine patterns, the godhood is condensed and will not easily dissipate, which leads to this illusion of 'growth'.

Regardless, the godhood is stabilized, and it is true that it doesn't need to be put into the flower bud anymore. Since it doesn't need to be put away, where is it suitable to put it?

The blacksmith shop in the City of Beauty is very large, with all kinds of equipment, from magic melting furnaces to hydraulic forging hammers, to construct trolleys. Almost all advanced equipment that can be found is here.

The money allocated to Wa Gu Li every month is all thrown into this.

Why does the gnome engineer throw money into the blacksmith shop? You can't be a gnome engineer if you can't forge iron!

Whether it is the God-Guarding Construct of the World Transit Station or the Construct Harvester, every one needs to use steel components. Forging iron is the daily routine of a gnome engineer.

Maybe it was also to take care of him. That batch of dwarven drunkards before wanted to be assigned here, which made Wa Gu Li jump with anger: "I don't need these rude and stupid dwarves here, pull them away, pull them away!"

"Who are you calling a dwarf! You little ground rat who is short and thin!" Copper Beard was so angry he rolled up his sleeves.

"What? Want to fight? Come, come, come, I'll fight all of you alone." Wa Li Gu trotted back to the shop, and when he came out again, he was already sitting inside a construct.

This is a construct that looks like a standing bear, with thick hands and feet, tall and mighty, a full 2.3 or 2.4 meters high.

Wa Gu Li sat in the open cockpit, dancing with his hands and feet, and the bear-shaped construct made corresponding movements with Wa Li Gu's movements.

"What kind of skill is it to drive a construct? If you have the ability, come down and fight one-on-one." Copper Beard didn't gather his companions to go up together, but he wasn't reckless enough to rush at a steel construct.

Just at this moment, they felt the side light up, as if a high-power magic searchlight had been turned on.

Looking over, they saw Miss Miss Lisha, who brought the dwarves, smiling, with surging holy power on her body, rubbing her hands and saying: "It seems that none of you take me seriously?"

After sweeping the restroom with the dwarves for two days, Wa Gu Li returned to the blacksmith shop, exhausted physically and mentally, and found a place to lie down.

Engineers sleeping at the construction site is reasonable. Anyway, for a single gnome like him, no one will care about him. Just lie down wherever he feels comfortable. He can lie down in every corner of the blacksmith shop. Spread the carpet wiped with machine oil on the ground, and he can sleep peacefully.

However, while sleeping, Wa Gu Li felt something staring at him, and opened his eyes suddenly.

After searching for a long time, Wa Gu Li found something that didn't belong to the blacksmith shop—a statue of the God of Forging.

Kicking his gnome assistant and apprentices up, Wa Gu Li roared: "Who is so bold to put a dwarf... dwarf statue here? Is this a provocation?! Who! Who is it..."

The assistant hurriedly said: "It's Lord Ang."

"Who cares about me so much?! So it's Lord Ang. Lord is too good to me, actually letting the God of Forging come to protect me. Too moved, God of Forging bless." Wa Gu Li said with 'tears in his eyes'.

"Lord has left," the assistant reminded.

Wa Gu Li froze there, and after a long time, he said dejectedly: "Why did Lord put a statue of the God of Forging here? Wouldn't it be better to put his own? We gnomes are not managed by dwarves. I would rather pray to the God of the Undead."

Dejection is useless. Ang put it here, and he didn't dare to throw it out, so he had to try not to look at the statue's position, and out of sight is out of mind.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect or what, but since the statue was put in, his success rate when forging or casting things seems to have improved.

His assistants and apprentices have the same feeling, so they often take advantage of his inattention to worship.

Learning that Ang wanted to put the godhood with the forging divine pattern in a corresponding place, the Brass Dragon, who had a bad taste, thought of Wa Li Gu for the first time. A gnome engineer who is an atheist, with a dwarven god statue placed there—just thinking about it is exciting.

Of course, it was only because Wa Li Gu was an atheist that it dared to do this, otherwise it would have offended Wa Li Gu's faith.

Ang simply felt that the godhood engraved with the forging divine pattern should be placed in a place related to forging. After putting it there, he didn't care, and devoted himself to the planting of elven beans.

According to the simulation during this period, Ang found that in his own territory, there was no suitable place to plant elven beans. Elven beans don't like the sun and are not sun-tolerant.

Among the places he had been to, the most suitable place for planting was the Elven Forest. Originally, elven beans grew there, growing vigorously in the damp open spaces full of humus in the forest.

Unfortunately, the Elven Forest was not his territory and could not be planted there. So the only place with a similar environment was the forest land of the Duchy of Luo Sha.

Transform it, and then interplant some trees, and you can adjust a suitable environment and similar climate.

Coming to the Luo Sha forest, organizing the hillside, transplanting the elven bean plants that had been catalyzed in the space, and then applying insect fertilizer.

Normal insect ash liquid is water fertilizer extracted by burning insects into ash, but elven beans don't like that kind of fertilizer. They prefer compost made by piling insects in the soil to ferment.

So Ang patiently compared dozens of groups of compost with different proportions and chose the most suitable one to cover the edge of the plants.

After working for a few days, the whole hillside was finally planted with elven beans. Before he could rest for a while, Anthony came over.

In the consciousness space, Anthony said to everyone with a strange expression: "Just now the Dwarf King told me that Dai Sen went to visit him in person, hoping to form an allied army with him to attack the City of Beauty, and asked me if I should agree to him."

"..." Na Nai Nai Nai Ge Li Si didn't know what to say: "He is too unlucky, right? You guys just left, and he arrived right after. Did the Dwarf King not smash his head on the spot?"

The Light Gods plotted against the War God and the God of Forging. To any religion, this is an endless God War. Dai Sen actually went to find him? If he was smashed on the spot by the Dwarf King, it would be a joke.

"So he came to ask me if I should arrange it, trick Dai Sen's people together, and then push them all at once," Anthony said.

"This... is this Copper Hammer's proposal or your idea? It doesn't look like an idea that a straightforward dwarf can think of, right?" Na Nai Nai Nai Ge Li Si was puzzled.

From the time he sent fine wine and Copper Hammer endured letting them state the conditions first, Na Nai Nai Nai Ge Li Si had looked at him with new eyes. This didn't look like a rude and straightforward dwarf.

Anthony sighed: "Yeah, underestimated him. But it's also normal. Sitting in this position, no matter how straightforward the personality is, one has to learn to be round. Nowadays, the life of dwarves is not good. Living in the cracks, cautious everywhere. If it weren't for the involvement of faith, I doubt whether he would have endured this breath."

Na Nai Nai Nai Ge Li Si was stunned. What is it that makes straightforward dwarves swallow their anger? Is it survival?

After being stunned for a while, Na Nai Nai Nai Ge Li Si thought of another question: "Why does this Dai Sen keep staring at us? Last time he destroyed one of his flying dragon knight groups, isn't he afraid?"

Anthony shook his head: "I think, it's because of the flying dragon knight group last time, so he stared at you. He might think there is grain here."

What is the most lacking in the Western Diocese now? It's grain. The rice fields by the side of the Falling Longhu seen by the flying dragon knight group last time made Dai Sen believe that the City of Beauty had grain, which strengthened his determination to take down the City of Beauty.

"Won't he send someone to investigate? Those grains are not ripe, and the ripe ones have all been sold," Na Nai Nai Nai Ge Li Si said helplessly.

"... He seems to have sent them, right? The black warrior last time was caught by Luo Ge," Anthony said.

Black warrior, a first-class expert in gathering intelligence and assassination. He was sent out and had no sound. Where would Dai Sen dare to send people again?

The City of Beauty and the Falling Longhu have now become information black holes. Except for some hearsay information, there are only reports from those who escaped from the flying dragon knight group last time.

Most people who fail will habitually add fuel to the fire and exaggerate their failure. Some say there are 100,000 hectares of fertile land by the Falling Longhu, planted with heavy rice. Some say the rice fields float on the lake, and the yellow rice cannot be seen to the edge. Some say there is a huge tree in the center of the lake, covering the sky and the sun.

Filtering out those obviously exaggerated descriptions, like rice fields floating on the lake, or trees covering the sky and the sun, Dai Sen confirmed one thing: there are a large number of rice fields by the lake.

If there are rice fields, you can plant grain. The City of Beauty has grain.

In the past, Dai Sen only coveted the wealth of the City of Beauty. Now he covets the grain here even more, because with Anthony's efforts to relieve the disaster as a comparison, his inaction appears particularly cold-blooded. Some countries that have been hit harder by the disaster have begun to have voices against him.

After all, he just took over the Western Diocese, and his foundation is unstable. With discordant voices, he has to find ways to appease them.

"So he sent them... Then what should we do? How about following Copper Hammer's method and killing him."

Dai Sen is now the Archbishop of the Western Diocese. If he and his people are killed, the West will fall into a power vacuum, and Anthony will have more room for operation.

"The problem now is, where does his confidence come from? He knows that Lord used the Dragon God Transformation, and he still dares to come. Does he have a way to restrain the Dragon God Transformation?" Anthony said.

This is a problem. Everyone was wondering when Ang suddenly notified Na Nai Nai Nai Ge Li Si that someone was looking for him. After going out to see, it was Nai Aili. After saying a few words, Na Nai Nai Nai Ge Li Si returned to the consciousness space and said:

"I think I know where Dai Sen's confidence comes from. Just now Gu Li An Ni sent an envoy to the Dragon Island, found Alan Bulu Si Ke, took out the agreement signed between the Dragon Race and humans back then, and required the Dragon Race not to interfere in the internal disputes of humans. He actually thought Ang's Dragon God Transformation was Alan Bulu Si Ke's ghost?"

"Pfft... Dragon God Transformation, even Alan Bulu Si Ke doesn't know it, how can he make a ghost?" Anthony laughed.

"Hmm, so Alan Bulu Si Ke decided to stay on Drake Island recently, just stay in his original form, create an alibi, just in time for Black Night Crow to straighten out the order of the ocean, Alan Bulu Si Ke went to support her."

Speaking of this, Na Nai Nai Nai Ge Li Si turned to Anthony again and said: "By the way, when Black Night Crow cleaned up the ocean, she confiscated a lot of grain, cloth, small dried fish, etc., tens of thousands of tons. She is ready to donate to the Church on Drake Island in exchange for a few places for Holy Reputation Knights."

Holy Reputation Knight is an honorary title. In the past, it was to commend those believers who did not belong to the Church but made outstanding contributions to the Church. However, with the disappearance of the gods, this title slowly deteriorated and became a means for the high-level of the Church to collect money. As long as you give money, you can buy a title.

"Don't, don't, don't. Donate to the island. I don't know how much those parasites will withhold. Donate directly to me. I will issue a Bishop's order to grant her a place for a God's Grace Knight and a Holy Reputation Knight," Anthony said hurriedly.

Na Nai Nai Nai Ge Li Si's bad taste came again, and he laughed: "Okay, I will let Alan Bulu Si Ke tell her later. Originally, I just wanted to buy a Holy Reputation Knight, now it's changed to a God's Grace Knight, scare her to death."

Holy Reputation Knights can be bought, and regional churches can grant them. But God's Grace Knights must be granted by large dioceses. Large dioceses don't look at one or two small money, and they are all granted to friendly people with corresponding strength.

Hey, no, Black Night Crow unified the ocean, it must be considered a person with 'corresponding strength'. As long as she expresses 'friendliness', both the West and the East are very happy to grant her a knight title.

Ku Ba Da, was dealt with by Anthony 'beneficial but not expensive' again.

After the discussion, finally, Na Nai Nai Nai Ge Li Si and Anthony turned to Ang and asked: "Lord, what should we do?"

No matter how much discussion they did, the final decision was Ang. If Ang didn't agree, they would have to be blind. With Anthony's own family background, he couldn't complete those plans they discussed.

Ang listened to the whole process and felt a bit irritable. This was the third time.

The first time, before Dai Sen launched, Ang took people to destroy him. The second time Dai Sen didn't appear, only sent the flying dragon knight group. Now it's the third time. So annoying, it affects his planting, eliminate him!

Making a decision, Ang returned to the City of Beauty to prepare. Just after returning to the City of Beauty, an elf found him.

Ai Si Duo Li Ya knelt respectfully in front of Ang, closed her eyes tightly, and said respectfully: "Lord Ang, please allow me to follow your side. Truth Mage, Ai Si Duo Li Ya, begs to pledge allegiance to you."

Ang tilted his head and refused: "You don't plant land."

"Huh?" Ai Si Duo Li Ya was stunned: "Really want to plant land?"

Last time, Ang refused her with the same words. Originally thought it was just an excuse. She was a dignified Truth Mage, let her go to plant land? How wasteful.

But it was already the second time. According to this posture, is this really not an excuse?

No, can't be dismissed like this again. Ai Si Duo Li Ya pointed to Miss Miss Lisha: "But, she doesn't plant land either."

Miss Miss Lisha, who was originally watching the play, slowly straightened her body, a trace of fighting intent flashed in the depths of her eyes: Lord refused you, what do you mean by arching the fire to me? Am I easy to bully?

Miss Miss Lisha gently picked up her skirt, saluted and smiled: "I can pick farm fertilizer, can you?"
