Chapter 440: Seems to have treated us as living things

Ai Gu Li hated this woman the most. She had wanted to sell her more than once. If it weren't for the mutual aid creed among believers, and her brothers and sisters protecting her, she might not have known who she had been sold to as a slave.

So she didn't stop her companions from slapping her, and even wished she could go up and slap her twice herself. (The previous chapter was changed to better fit the character setting.)

Subsequently, Ai Gu Li displayed her half-Holy Spirit Heart, and the whole village was stirred up. The old priest, who couldn't even get out of bed, crawled up tremblingly, excitedly wanting to touch that holy light.

"I... I... I saw it. Holy Spirit Heart. Ai Gu Li is a saint recognized by the Holy Spirit. Everyone listen to her," the priest said excitedly, and then swallowed his last breath with a smile.

There was more than one village like Ai Gu Li's that believed in light. On the surface, they were no different from ordinary villages, but when there were no outsiders, they would collectively pray to the light.

Some villages were isolated from the world and only communicated with villages that also believed in light. The concealment was very strong, coupled with the particularity of the Undead Empire.

Their intelligent creatures were too few, and there was not enough manpower to extend the ruling structure to the villages. They could only inspect some major cities and key villages and towns, and it was difficult to discover these villages that believed in light as a whole.

However, if Ai Gu Li came forward, it would be much easier to find those villages, especially after hearing that Ai Gu Li had become a saint and possessed a Holy Spirit Heart, people everywhere sent envoys to inquire about the news.

Ai Gu Li told all the visitors about her encounter in detail. For a time, the news of the reappearance of the God-Grace Monk and the six-winged Archangel was spread more and more mysteriously.

Some were half-believing, some were deeply convinced, because of that half-Holy Spirit Heart and Ai Gu Li's rapid progress in strength.

People in the village could prove that Ai Gu Li was just an ordinary believer with poor talent. She wasn't even a priest.

But now, she suddenly possessed the strength of a saint. She could cast healing spells by praying devoutly. Except for the recognition of the Holy Spirit, no one could think of any other reason.

Everyone discovered for the first time that faith actually had rewards.

The Church of Light in this world was even more miserable than the one on the main plane. More than a thousand years ago, the Star-Burst Array launched a faith storm, which first hit here, and all the gods fell, even the Goddess of War and Peace, who was not of the Church of Light, also fell.

The main plane at least still had a Heavenly Kingdom fortress, a main godhead, and thousands of Holy Spirit Angels, and could still use Angel Descent and various divine arts.

But here, the remaining Holy Spirit Angels were pitifully few, and there was no main godhead, causing many people to be unable to cast divine arts at all.

On the main plane, as long as they were devout believers, they could sometimes cast purification spells, but here, purification spells were already divine arts that only priests could cast, and healing spells required divine officials.

Many believers were really just pure believers, not seeking rewards, just seeking peace of mind, such as the priest in the village, who had never seen holy light in his life. Seeing it for the first time, he was so excited that he swallowed his breath.

Ai Gu Li could heal and saved him on the spot. It was originally a cleansing spell, which could only heal and not be reborn, but because the timing was so good, it resulted in the effect of resurrection from the dead, shocking quite a few people.

Thus, Ang felt that from Ai Gu Li, continuous thick soul flames were cast into his body, among which the faith of the one named Ai Gu Li was the thickest.

Believers and food became Ang's stable source of faith power, and he could feel his strength growing day by day.

With Anthony and Silver Coin presiding, Ang could plant land with peace of mind, and Du Luo Ken could also study his alchemy with peace of mind. For this, he even ran back to Iron Shacheng, because there were large forging equipment there, and a group of cave dwarves who knew how to forge iron. After all, alchemy and forging were not separated.

Not two days after returning, Du Luo Ken ran back again. A cloak was seen riding the wind in the air, just like a flying magic carpet, circling to find Ang in the wild. After landing and rolling, Du Luo Ken appeared.

"My lord, my lord, I thought of a way to modify the Round-Rolling Great Demon King, but it might require you to do it yourself. My strength is not enough," Du Luo Ken said.

The Round-Rolling Great Demon King had a huge weakness: it could only roll on the ground with magnetite. Leaving the magnetite area, it could only sway back and forth. The intensity of the magnetic induction was not enough to make it roll.

So Ang could only use it to crush things.

If it couldn't roll at high speed anywhere, then this Round-Rolling Great Demon King was too useless. It wasn't practical even as a crusher, because it would consume magic crystals. The magic crystals consumed in one hour were enough to buy a thousand cows to pull the mill.

Du Luo Ken thought hard for two days and finally found a way to modify the big iron ball so that it didn't need to rely on magnetite to roll. In this way, it could become a very practical weapon for Ang.

Others had to treat it as a weapon and pay for shipping to transport it to the current land, but Ang could just open the Divine Domain and take it away.

However, the modification method Du Luo Ken thought of was almost impossible for an alchemist, or the consumption was too high, and the loss outweighed the gain.

"How to do it?" Nai Ge Li Si asked curiously. Even Du Luo Ken found it difficult, was the modification difficulty so high?

"Carve a depression at least two fingers deep on the surface, form a magic array, then use mithril wire inlay, and then drill holes to connect the inside," Du Luo Ken said.

"Magic array? What kind of magic array?" Nai Ge Li Si asked.

Magic arrays had complex ones and simple ones. Different levels had different carving difficulties.

"Like this." Du Luo Ken formed a seal with both hands, pinched and pulled, and a phantom of a magic seal expanded. Du Luo Ken imprinted it on the iron ball, carefully adjusted its curvature, and then imprinted it on it.

Nai Ge Li Si wanted to spit on his face. The magic array Du Luo Ken imprinted was at least level sixteen, and its complexity was comparable to copper-tire cloisonné, and it actually had to be carved two fingers deep?

"Kuba Da, no wonder you said you couldn't handle it. You couldn't handle it even by next year," Nai Ge Li Si scolded irritably.

It was indeed only Ang who could quickly complete this complex modification. With the magic array imprinted by Du Luo Ken, Ang just had to carve according to the imprint. With the spot-removal spell "zi-zi-zi," this complex work was completed in one night.

Du Luo Ken had long prepared the inlaid mithril wire. Ang carved a section, and he took a small hammer to knock the mithril wire into it. Not long after Ang carved it, he inlaid it.

With the embellishment of the magic array and mithril wire, the gray and ugly big iron ball actually became mysterious and exquisite.

Guiding the hamster's soul into it, after a wild trampling, the big iron ball began to roll.

"Great, now we can build roads. My lord, lend me the Round-Rolling Great Demon King. I want to build a road from Iron Shacheng to Du Luo Ken," Du Luo Ken requested.

After Ang agreed, Du Luo Ken drove the Round-Rolling Great Demon King toward Iron Shacheng. Wherever it passed, a flat trench appeared.

The road pressed out this way would have water poured into the middle on rainy days, but it didn't matter. Just press it a few more times. Anyway, Iron Shacheng produced magic crystals, so there was no worry about lack of energy.

Not long after Du Luo Ken left, Silver Coin rushed over: "My lord, you might need to see this."

Du Luo Ken, who hadn't gone far, was also called back.

In the Home of the Departed, it was still that cloaked person, but besides the Undead Guild Vice President Li Aoduo, there were several people with obvious noble status and names.

But Nai Ge Li Si had no time to investigate their identities, but was shocked by the content of their conversation.

"The Warlock Alliance dispatched goblin airships. According to the situation, they are preparing to bomb here, here, here, a total of six places." A map was placed in front of the cloaked person, and his fingers pointed to six places respectively.

This was the first time the cloaked person exposed his fingers. They were a pair of slender, clean, but skin-sticking-to-bone lich fingers, so thin that there were no bones. They were actually not very ugly, and it would be even better if they had a little elasticity.

However, the place pointed to by this finger didn't look so good, because for the sixth point, he pointed to North Wind City.

"Goblin airships? Bombing? What can that broken airship bomb? When will it bomb?" Nai Ge Li Si asked.

Silver Coin didn't answer, but signaled Nai Ge Li Si to continue listening.

Then they heard Li Aoduo ask: "Bombing? What are you bombing these places for?"

The cloaked person said: "According to intelligence, it is to clear the field for the landing of the Warlock Ladder."

"Six Warlock Ladders? So many? What are they coming down for?" Li Aoduo asked in confusion.

The cloaked person hesitated and said: "Disaster relief."

"When will the bombing start?"

"Tomorrow morning."

After exchanging information, the cloaked person and Li Aoduo and others dispersed immediately, all going to deal with it. The image ended here.

Silver Coin floated quickly to the tower, clicked on a piece of information, pointed to a figure on it and said: "This is the goblin airship."

The goblin airship on the figure was similar to what Nai Ge Li Si had seen, but it had no sails, but two propellers supported outside the hull on both sides, seemingly relying on the propulsion of the propellers to fly forward.

"Have you notified North Wind City?" Nai Ge Li Si couldn't figure out what such an airship could do. Did they also invent magic eggs that could be thrown from the air to detonate?

Silver Coin nodded: "Notified long ago. Fei Wo is already keeping an eye on the airships in the air at any time and can hide in the cellar at any time."

"It's evening now, it's about to get dark. Why not do it at night, why wait until tomorrow morning?" Du Luo Ken asked.

Silver Coin said: "Maybe their main target is undead creatures. Undead creatures are more active at night than during the day."

"For no reason, why did these warlocks jump out? We have been here for so long, we have seen many warlocks, Ji Li is one, but they don't seem to be from the Warlock Alliance. What is the difference between them?" Nai Ge Li Si asked.

Silver Coin smiled bitterly: "The Warlock Alliance is an alliance composed of warlocks. They have no difference. As long as they join the Warlock Alliance, they are."

"Then why doesn't the King ban them? Letting them spread warlock knowledge is equivalent to cultivating enemies for himself, right?" Nai Ge Li Si asked in confusion.

Du Luo Ken spread his hands: "Then I don't know. His Majesty seems to have always been like this. Like the Church of Light, their divine arts are clearly deliberately targeting undead creatures, but His Majesty didn't clear them either."

"A long time ago, Luo Ke asked His Majesty this question. His Majesty knocked on his head and scolded 'The enemy is strong, won't you become stronger?! If there is no enemy, you will go to sleep, you empty brain! Empty brain!', probably afraid that we will lose the pressure of survival."

It is indeed possible. Didn't you see Ha Wei using the excuse of lumbar disc herniation, lying like a corpse all day? Losing the pressure of survival, undead creatures probably all like to sleep.

Just then, the teleportation array next to it sent a communication request. As soon as it was connected, Fei Wo's voice came impatiently: "Lord Silver Coin, it's not good, the goblin airship is here, they bombed the cemetery outside the city flat."

"What!? Didn't you say it would come tomorrow? Why is it here now?" Silver Coin was shocked.

Fei Wo was about to cry: "I don't know, you said it would come tomorrow. Is your intelligence wrong?"

Anthony strode in and said directly: "False intelligence, deceiving the traitor. The person who formulated the plan must also know that there are traitors among his own people, so he deliberately spread false intelligence. Where are the warlock's goblin airships?"

Fei Wo hurriedly responded: "Already left."

Anthony immediately asked him to open the teleportation array, and Ang's group all teleported over.

Arriving at North Wind City, everyone immediately rushed to the cemetery outside the city, but looking from afar, the cemetery had no changes at all. The trees inside were not missing, and the tombstones remained in their original state, which was far from Fei Wo's "bombed flat."

"Didn't you say it was bombed flat?" Nai Ge Li Si asked Fei Wo.

Fei Wo was also a bit puzzled: "That's not right. I saw from afar in the city that the airship threw things toward the cemetery position, making a loud noise. I thought it was bombed flat. How could this be?"

Ang suddenly said: "Soul, disappeared."

Everyone entered the cemetery and immediately understood what Ang meant. All the souls in the cemetery had disappeared, and only empty shells remained in all the graves.

If it were a skeleton, losing the restraint of the soul, they would scatter into a pile of bones.

Nai Ge Li Si said in shock: "In other words, the goblin airship threw a weapon that only causes damage to the soul? Soul Storm Magic Egg?"

The faith storm caused all godheads to be obliterated, so should the one that causes souls to be obliterated be called a soul storm?

"Actually have this kind of weapon? Specifically targeting undead creatures?" Du Luo Ken's expression couldn't help but turn solemn.

If it were a magic egg, even if the power was great, he wouldn't be afraid. He had too many ways to dodge or resist the damage of the magic egg, but how to resist this kind of weapon specifically targeting the soul?

"Yes, it specifically targets undead creatures. Are you people from North Wind City?" A voice sounded from behind a slope not far away, and two goblins drove a strangely shaped car-like construct and turned out.

"Don't be afraid, we only target undead creatures. You are people from North Wind City, right? Go back and notify your City Lord. We, the Warlock Alliance, are here to provide disaster relief. Humans don't need to be afraid, uh, dragons don't need to be afraid either. The Warlock Ladder will descend soon. Don't be afraid when you see the ladder, that is the creation of our Warlock Alliance." The two goblins tried to make their expressions more kind and said very gently.

Nai Ge Li Si whispered: "They seem to have treated us as living things."
