Chapter 395

"I buried it near the place where those children live, probably right there." In the dark night, Ang, Du Luo Ken, and Jili quietly arrived near Desert Town and pointed to the approximate location.

Negris asked curiously: "Didn't you say that it was given to you by your former suitor? A licking dog gnoll, at most just give the thing to the bandits. Why would you rather die than take it away?"

Jili said with shame: "Hey, when I was young and ignorant, I thought this was my first suitor, and there would be better ones in the future. After growing up, I realized that he was my only suitor, and no one else chased me except him. This is his relic, it cannot be handed over casually."

Negris felt the same: "Understand, if it were something of Nai Aili, I wouldn't want to hand it over casually either. That was also my... one of my suitors."

Du Luo Ken added a knife: "Only."

Jili didn't know that the one speaking was a little yellow book, and wondered in her heart, why does a Holy Spirit skeleton have suitors...

"What should we do now? There is firelight in the place where those children live, I guess there are people inside," Jili asked.

These street urchins live in a series of clean and connected caves, which are wind-sheltered and ventilated, and very comfortable. If the town can't accommodate them, those bandits are very likely to arrange for their subordinates to live here.

"I'll go take a look," Du Luo Ken said, picked up the touch-gold rod and tapped it on himself. Under the eyes of everyone, he actually became transparent.

The touch-gold rod was put away, and he completely disappeared from Jili's eyes, but Ang's soul could still see him.

Quietly slipping over to take a look, Du Luo Ken came back and said: "Not bandits, it seems to be the original residents of Desert Town. They were driven out and are now all huddled in the cave, dying. Many people haven't eaten for a long time."

Jili's face dimmed: "It's all my fault, it's me who harmed them."

Negris asked curiously: "Isn't there a government organization or something here? Can't you find someone to save them and drive away the bandits?"

"The Undead Empire is the largest organization. In the past, they were the ones maintaining law and order in various regions. These bandits didn't dare to blatantly loot a village or town. Now the Undead Monarch is trapped by the Infinite Domain of Thermal Silence, and the biggest drawback of the Undead Empire is exposed."

Du Luo Ken asked suspiciously: "What drawback?"

"There are few intelligent undead creatures. It is said that only undead creatures above silver have intelligence. Later, I don't know what the Undead Monarch did, which caused gray-bone skeletons to also have intelligence, but the intelligence is very low."

"Only above Golden Skeletons or Iron-skinned Zombies do they have management capabilities. Therefore, in many places in the entire Undead Empire, human participation in management is needed, but humans cannot command military force, so many black evil forces have emerged. I also said before, if your Church of Light wants to come out and move around, now is the best opportunity."

The three of Ang's hearts floated a term in unison: "Enlightenment Halo?"

"It must be it. Damn it, I said why my Enlightenment Halo didn't work well. It must be that old immortal who snatched my halo. He can snatch my innate skills, so he can snatch my divine skills!" Negris scolded in its soul.

Ever since it knew it had the Enlightenment Halo, Ang put it in the skeleton pile. Unfortunately, the effect was not obvious at all, or it could be said there was none, making it suspect from time to time whether it had lost the ability to enlighten.

Okay, now it's confirmed. It must be that the Undead Monarch snatched its Enlightenment Halo, otherwise how could gray-bone skeletons have intelligence?

"Okay, okay, don't be angry. At least it proves one point, your divine skill can also be used in this world," Du Luo Ken comforted.

"You really don't know how to comfort people... Wait a minute, did you hear any sound?" Negris just finished speaking when it heard some strange sounds.

Du Luo Ken and Ang listened carefully for a while and shook their heads.

"Really not? It seems to be saying: Please, I'm so hungry, give me some food, I will definitely study hard in the future, please, God of Knowledge... Damn it, prayer? Why can I hear the sound of prayer?"

Negris was stunned. Someone actually prayed to the God of Knowledge, and then it actually received the prayer? What's going on? Does it have believers again?

Poor Negris, it has been too long without believers, it has forgotten what it feels like for believers to pray, and thought it was a sound.

"Do you have believers? Didn't you say your last believer abandoned their faith? Who was tricked by you? But you are not on the main plane now. Even if there are believers praying to you, you can't perceive it, unless this world has your... uh..." Du Luo Ken said to the end, looking at the little yellow book in shock.

Negris was also shocked by this guess and asked Jili: "Have you ever heard of the God of Knowledge?"

Jili looked at it strangely and said: "Of course I have heard of it. The Temple of Truth, the God of Knowledge, the largest religion in the world, much larger than your Church of Light."

"Hiss—the largest religion?" Negris asked in shock: "How big is it?"

Jili spread her hands: "I don't know either. Anyway, there are Temples of Truth everywhere. In every place, as long as there is a school, the God of Knowledge will definitely be worshipped. Although we warlocks are all atheists, we will also worship the God of Knowledge, because it is said that after worshipping the God of Knowledge, exams will be very smooth."

"On the contrary, your Church of Light is suppressed by the Undead Empire, and its scale is much smaller than the Temple of Truth, not on the same order of magnitude at all."

Negris suddenly felt like it had discovered a lot of money hidden in its own crypt. After thinking about it, it asked: "Then have you seen the God of Knowledge?"

Jili said: "How could there be gods? If there were gods, then our Supreme Warlock, the Lord of Silence, would be a god. Those gods worshipped by these religions are nothing more than some existences with powerful strength. There is no need to deify them."

"We warlocks worship the God of Knowledge, not the ethereal god, but the rules of the operation of truth."

This conversation can't go on, stupid mortals.

Negris turned to use its soul to say to Ang and Du Luo Ken: "This prayer has been expressing that he is very hungry and hopes I will save him. I couldn't hear the prayer before, but I heard it when I came here. The biggest possibility is the reason for my reception range, otherwise I should be able to hear the voices of believers in the entire plane, so the person praying is nearby."

Ang and Du Luo Ken cast their eyes on those caves in unison.

"I'm going to mutter, let him come out by himself. If someone comes out, Ang, you throw a Spirit Bean over," Negris said.

Ang nodded. Not long after, he really saw an eleven or twelve-year-old child walk out, kneeling devoutly on the ground with his forehead against the ground, his palms facing upward.

Ang flicked a Spirit Bean, which landed accurately on the child's palm.

The child felt something, looked up, saw the Spirit Bean, but couldn't see who threw it to him.

He stuffed the bean into his mouth with suspicion, chewed and swallowed it, and then his eyes suddenly widened, and he kowtowed excitedly: "Truth is invincible! Thank you, God of Knowledge, for giving me food."

A thick soul flame, invisible to ordinary people, floated over and landed on Ang's body.

"Damn it, my faith, why did it land on you?!" Negris said.

Du Luo Ken spread his hands: "You are a secondary god."

Negris was not angry at all, because it had made a fortune.

PS: No heart to work, watched the news for a day, Damao is worthy of being one of the top three permanent members.
