Chapter 441: Warlock Ladder

~13 min read 2,565 words

Treating them as living things was normal. Who could see half a shadow of an undead creature from these fresh bodies at a glance? Unless perception was keen or directly probed.

But direct probing was too impolite, easy to trigger conflict, and also beyond the ability range of these two goblins.

Realizing this, Silver Coin immediately stepped forward to greet: "Hello brothers, what is going on? What happened? Can you tell me? So that our family can be prepared."

"Eh? Goblin brothers? Too unexpected, how come there are goblin brothers in such a remote place? Hello, hello, didn't notice you just now. We goblins are too easy to be ignored, we must be more united."

Seeing that Silver Coin was a goblin, these two goblins immediately became enthusiastic. The one in the back seat even took his weapon and jumped down from the construct car.

What was Silver Coin? A treacherous merchant. He immediately followed the other party's words to build a relationship.

Taking advantage of the other party's attention being on Silver Coin, Nai Ge Li Si, Anthony, and Du Luo Ken talked in low voices.

"Construct flying car, with a floating magic array at the bottom, and nozzles, it should be able to hover and accelerate for a short time," Du Luo Ken said.

Anthony, however, noticed the two round balls hanging in front of the flying car: "What are those two round balls? I feel my heart beating wildly."

"Your feeling is very keen. I didn't feel anything, but if it can make you feel your heart beating wildly, then it should be the Soul Storm weapon. Be careful, don't let them detonate. We don't know if we will be affected at this distance," Du Luo Ken said.

Nai Ge Li Si was curious about another thing: "You can feel bad things? How come you are like Xia Mala? Did you steal her skill?"

Anthony said irritably: "How is that possible? That is her divine skill, I am experience. If you were like me, walking on the edge of danger for over a thousand years, you would also have a sense of danger."

"I have been single for over ten thousand years, and I haven't seen myself have a sense for mother dragons? Nonsense." Nai Ge Li Si sneered.

Anthony was surprised: "You got it backward, right? To have a sense for mother dragons, shouldn't you know more of them? When you know a new mother dragon every day for ten thousand years, you will definitely have a sense for them."

Nai Ge Li Si was stunned. What he said made a lot of sense. Let alone every day, even if he knew one mother dragon every year, there would have to be ten thousand mother dragons. Where would there be ten thousand dragons in the dragon race? So that was why he hadn't practiced this sensing ability?

Nai Ge Li Si held his head and fell into doubt about species and self.

They were whispering here, and Silver Coin's side was almost done chatting, and both sides said goodbye enthusiastically.

Silver Coin walked back, and the two goblins drove the construct car around the cemetery. Clearly, their task might be to inspect if there were any missed undead creatures.

Silver Coin signaled everyone to leave first. After they left the cemetery, Silver Coin told everyone the news he had inquired from the other party.

"What they threw was indeed a magic egg targeting undead creatures. They call it the Annihilation Ball, which will produce a kind of instantaneous high-intensity soul shockwave, shattering the souls of all undead creatures."

"They cleared the cemetery to eliminate the Undead Guards and clear obstacles for the landing of the Warlock Ladder."

"They came down to provide disaster relief. The reason they chose here is because North Wind City is easy to defend and hard to attack. As long as the road is cut off, large-scale undead creatures cannot come over."

"They also didn't expect that after trapping the Undead King, the order on the ground would collapse. Several cities have experienced large-scale famine, and more than half of the people have starved to death. They calculated that if they didn't get relief, at least two-thirds of the living things on the ground would die."

"To avoid such a disaster, they descended the Warlock Ladder and prepared to distribute grain for disaster relief."

Anthony nodded while listening, and after listening, he said: "This is a good thing, but what does the Warlock Ladder look like? Can six ladders distribute disaster relief grain and satisfy the needs of the whole world?"

Ang suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky.

At this moment, the sun had fallen below the horizon, and the ground could no longer be illuminated by sunlight, but in the high altitude, due to the curvature, light could still be illuminated. A huge object was slowly descending under the illumination of the light.

This was a long pillar, topped with a plate, and more than a dozen "chains" hung from the edge of the plate, holding three rings that shrank in stages.

Describing it from the appearance, one would think it was an umbrella-shaped ornament, but the length of its central pillar reached 700 meters, and the diameter exceeded 60 meters. It was a behemoth that completely defied common sense.

This behemoth slowly descended and finally landed on the flat ground in front of the Undead Cemetery.

Ang had seen even more massive creations—the Holy Heavenly Kingdom, but the Holy Heavenly Kingdom was rebuilt from a small-sized plane, just digging a hole in the center and building buildings on the surface, without too much change in the main body.

However, this behemoth was a creation from beginning to end. From the main pillar to the hanging "chains," they were all manufactured.

Now that the distance was close, Ang and the others could see those "chains" clearly. Those chains were all connected by individual cabins, and each cabin was connected by a rope ladder.

Many cabins opened, and construct cars similar to the one driven by the two goblins just now rushed out. Each construct car had a floating magic array at the bottom, which was currently flashing light, supporting the construct car to descend slowly.

Each construct car had two Annihilation Balls hanging at the bottom, that kind of Annihilation Ball that could shatter the souls of undead creatures.

"This is the Warlock Ladder? Where is it half like a ladder?" Nai Ge Li Si was surprised.

"How is it not like it? Now it is known that there are at least six such things. If they land at one position at the same time, one on top of another, then it will be four or five kilometers high. What if they have one hundred such things? Wouldn't it reach the sky?" Du Luo Ken said.

His tone was a bit strange, a bit excited, a bit irritable, and a bit impatient. For an alchemist, such a giant creation was exactly what could make him most excited.

Irritable, because others had long ago created this level of creation, and impatient, because he couldn't wait to explore its mysteries.

Anthony shook his head: "It's impossible to have one hundred. If there were one hundred, their manufacturing capability could definitely use Annihilation Balls to bomb the whole world, and no undead creatures would exist at all. These six might already be their limit."

After speaking, he sighed: "I now know why, with His Majesty's strength, not only could he not eliminate the Star-Burst Array, but he was trapped by the so-called Annihilation Warlocks."

Du Luo Ken also nodded: "Nai Ge's worry is right. I underestimated the Warlock Alliance too much before. Now it seems that let alone the Star-Burst Array in the sky turning, even these Warlock Ladders are very difficult for us to deal with."

Nai Ge Li Si put his hands on his hips proudly, and his tail went up.

However, no one noticed it, and everyone turned their eyes to Ang. Anthony asked:

"My lord, what now? We need to determine a final goal. We can't play anymore. If we only plant land, we can return to the main plane. We have already found a way to resist the faith storm, and we don't need to destroy the Star-Burst Array."

Silver Coin and Du Luo Ken also looked at Ang. They could have a thousand tactical changes, but the strategic goal could only be decided by Ang. If Ang's goal was just to plant land, then they didn't need to risk confronting the Warlock Alliance at all.

The safest way was naturally to retreat to the main plane. Anyway, the faith storm couldn't hurt them, but instead gave Ang energy. By then, planting a pile of World Tree Elf Beans would also be good.

Secondly, it was to lurk. The Warlock Alliance came to provide disaster relief, and wouldn't care who planted the land. At worst, spend money to buy land and plant it. Maybe the Warlock Alliance would thank them for contributing to food security.

However, if Ang's goal was confrontation, then they had to be fully prepared.

Ang didn't even think about it and said: "Save, King."

Although Ang didn't speak, he heard everything everyone said, and he wasn't a fool. Of course, he noticed the key information—the King's situation was not very good.

If the King was fine, he was just a vegetable-planting skeleton, so he wouldn't care whether the King was in a good mood or not, so he hadn't wanted to find the Undead King for so long since coming to this world.

But now the King's situation was not good, so as a vegetable-planting skeleton, he must find a way to save the King.

Anthony and Silver Coin's eyes lit up, and they rubbed their hands: "This goal is very challenging. We need to formulate a more detailed plan."

Silver Coin rubbed his hands and said: "The greater the risk, the greater the return."

"Need intelligence, need more intelligence about the Warlock Alliance. We ignored them before, now we need to focus on collecting intelligence about them," Anthony said.

"I didn't ignore them, but the channels I can find have almost no news about them. They mainly operate on the Star-Burst Array and don't have much contact with forces on the ground," Silver Coin said.

"Isn't there one now? Hurry back, let Fei Wo use the banner of condolences, send some fresh vegetables and sweets over, make friends with them, you don't show up for now." After speaking, Anthony remembered something and said: "Wait, I'll go wash away some of Fei Wo's memories about us first."

"Why do you want to erase their magic or artifacts that search memories?" Du Luo Ken asked.

Anthony nodded.

"Why send vegetables and sweets?" Silver Coin asked.

Anthony explained: "If they live on the Star-Burst Array for a long time, even if grain can be self-sufficient, they will definitely lack vegetables and sweets. The ground can still plant flowers, keep bees, and plant sugar beets. Does the Star-Burst Array have so much space?"

After a pause, Anthony said solemnly: "If they don't lack vegetables and sweets, then this problem is even more serious. Either they don't lack planting space, or they can obtain a large amount of supplies from the ground."

Silver Coin nodded in realization. It turned out it could also be used as a probing method.

Ang's group rushed back to North Wind City. Anthony controlled Fei Wo and muttered in his ear.

Anthony could erase memories for a period of time, but nothing during this period would be remembered. It was impossible to want to remember these people during this period, but erase a part of specific memories.

For example, Fei Wo could be made not to remember these people, but it was impossible to let him remember these people while forgetting that everyone was an undead creature.

Anthony's treatment of Luo Ge's depression didn't rely on erasing memories, but used emotional destruction.

For example, Luo Ge thought: The wind in September is... stupid.

Or Luo Ge's heart popped up a sentence: The night gave me a black soul, but I used it to perceive... stupid.

Believe that Luo Ge definitely wouldn't be depressed.

But Fei Wo couldn't use these methods. People from the Warlock Alliance would definitely ask him in detail about the situation during this period.

For example, how to take over the city, how to maintain order, how to get grain, etc. If he couldn't remember the things during this period at all, others would definitely know there was a problem.

So he fabricated some memories, such as Du Luo Ken's wife just gave birth to a child, Silver Coin just married a wife, Ang ate ten sugar beets a day, etc., which sounded like things only living people could do.

When Fei Wo thought of the abnormality of Ang and the others, he would have a strong conflict with these newly implanted memories, and he would be dazed about whether he remembered wrong?

Ang completely revitalized Fei Wo from head to toe, including his heart and blood, and then patted a "Rebirth" on his heart.

The heart beat again, pumping blood to circulate in the body.

Don't look at everyone's surface being fresh, but in fact, everyone's blood was not flowing, which was the biggest flaw. Now Ang blocked this flaw.

Then he took out a bottle of nutrient solution, opened a hole in the blood vessel, and injected the nutrient solution into the blood vessel.

In this way, what flowed in the blood was nutrient solution filled with holy light power. Even if someone used special detection means, what they saw would only be a heart filled with holy light, immediately excluding Fei Wo from undead creatures.

How could holy blood flow in the body of an undead creature? Impossible, absolutely impossible. How could there be blood in the body of an undead creature? Therefore, this definitely was not an undead creature.

The worst case was that the Warlock Alliance mistook Fei Wo for a person from the Church of Light. Temporarily didn't know what their relationship with the Church of Light was, but it was definitely better than with undead creatures.

Fei Wo, who had modified part of his memory, led people to push several carts of fresh vegetables and beet juice, holding obvious torches, and walked toward the Warlock Ladder in front of the cemetery.

They got busy. Ang took Nai Ge Li Si and the others, left North Wind City, and walked into the mountains.

The side of the North Wind Mountains facing the desert was rain-poor, barren, and bare, but the other side was a lush forest.

Coming to the forest side, Ang put the little sapling on his head and waved at the forest: "Hu-la-la-la-la..."

The Little Angel and Little Zombie tilted their heads and waved their hands in the same way: "Awoo-awoo-awoo-awoo-awoo..."

The little sapling also followed suit: Hu—hu—la-la-la-la—

Nai Ge Li Si looked inexplicable: "What are you doing? You don't need to pee, why are you hu-la-la?"

Ang ignored it, continued to wave his hand, and then hu-la-la-la. Ten minutes later, a tree man twisted and twisted out of the forest. Wherever he passed, all the trees gave way to a wide road for him.
