Chapter 471
Silver Coin refused the hug, because of his height, a goblin could only hug a dwarf, or hug someone else's thigh.
He bumped fists with Lu Se, and then asked: "Why are you here? Is there going to be a fight?"
"No, it's just that I missed the lord too much. I thought about it day and night, and finally, the lord heard my heart, so he went to pick me up." Lu Se said while chewing on sugar-coated beet chips.
Silver Coin nodded: "If you didn't say this while eating this, I would believe you. You must be missing the beet chips."
Lu Se laughed dryly: "I miss both, I miss both." Then he changed the subject: "You guys seem to be developing well here. Such a big town, and there's a central teleportation array. How long has it been? If it continues like this, you could build a city."
Silver Coin looked at him with a strange expression: "Did the lord just throw you over and not care about you?"
"Yeah, I had to hug his thigh to get the beet chips, and then I didn't know where he went. I just saw a little girl. By the way, where did you find the little girl? She's quite talented. Is she sixteen yet? Her foundation is already very good. I estimate she will soon be able to impact the Sword Saint realm. A sixteen-year-old Sword Saint, she's only a little bit worse than me."
Silver Coin was stunned: "Impact the Sword Saint? Isn't she already a Sword Saint? Lu Ti Xi Ya, are you okay?"
"Good, very good. I feel full of strength, but I need to adapt to it. Thank you for the guidance, little brother." Lu Ti Xi Ya responded loudly, slashing out a few swords, the blade light spitting, clearly having reached the bottleneck of a breakthrough.
Lu Ti Xi Ya originally had the strength of a Sword Saint, but to be honest, her Sword Saint strength was very watery, completely urged by potions, practice rooms, magic arrays, etc. It was completely different from someone like Lu Se who had hacked his way up. Lu Se's casual guidance could benefit her infinitely.
However, after all, she had reached the realm of a Sword Saint, so she still had the feeling. Coupled with the younger new body, she soon realized the true meaning.
"Little brother? Me?" Lu Se pointed to his nose and asked in surprise.
Silver Coin nodded: "She is already thirty..."
Before Silver Coin finished speaking, an aura had already locked onto him. Turning his head to look, he saw Lu Ti Xi Ya making a starting posture for a warrior's charge, saying: "Age is a woman's secret, Lord Silver Coin, are you going to reveal my secret?"
"Ah? Is it a secret? Then why did you tell me?" Silver Coin was surprised.
"I didn't treat you as a man. I thought the replacement required detailed information." Lu Ti Xi Ya said fidgeting: "Anyway, you are not allowed to tell others."
Silver Coin spread his hands: "Alright, protecting client privacy, little brother, don't ask anymore."
Lu Se spread his hands sensibly.
Silver Coin changed the subject: "We now have four cities."
"Pfft—what did you say?" Lu Se spat out a mouthful of water.
"I said we now have four cities, one town, one dam irrigation area, one water pool..." Silver Coin introduced.
"Wait, wait, did you guys go and rob? Why is the territory so big?" Lu Se was shocked.
"It's much faster than robbing. We also have a ladder that can fly to the Void." Silver Coin pointed to the sky.
Lu Se felt his teeth ache: "You guys did so many things? Oh, I missed it all. If the lord had stuffed me over earlier, it would have been fine."
"Who told you not to know how to farm." Silver Coin laughed: "Otherwise, you would have come over earlier."
"Hiss—what you said makes so much sense, but you and Anthony don't know how to either." Lu Se said unconvinced.
"We can get land." Silver Coin said.
On the other side, Lu Ti Xi Ya's sword light stabilized, and she officially broke through the realm of a Sword Saint. This was the first time for her new body.
But with previous experience, after breaking through again, she was full of confidence. She held her sword horizontally and said to Lu Se: "Little brother, play with sister."
Lu Se looked at Silver Coin, his eyes full of inquiry.
Silver Coin hurriedly explained in a low voice: "Big client, don't hurt her, let her open her eyes."
Lu Se nodded to show he understood, looked up at Lu Ti Xi Ya and said: "Okay sister, be careful sister, I don't really know how to fight, sister be gentle."
Silver Coin heard this and kept backing away, not wanting to stand with such a shameless person.
Lu Ti Xi Ya, of course, wouldn't be confused by such words. She concentrated fully and charged over with a warrior's charge.
Lu Se dodged sideways, hooked his foot, and Lu Ti Xi Ya lost her balance and flew out.
"Hmm?" Lu Ti Xi Ya was a bit confused. Why did she fly out? It doesn't count, come again.
Lu Ti Xi Ya didn't charge, but held her sword and pressed forward step by step, then slashed down with one sword.
Lu Se blocked with his bare hands, a sword light emerged from the edge of his palm, blocking Lu Ti Xi Ya's long sword, and he twisted it along the trend.
Lu Ti Xi Ya only felt a great force coming from the long sword in her hand. Her eyes blurred, and she flew out again.
Climbing up again, she couldn't care why she flew, but stared at Lu Se in shock: "Dou Qi turning into a sword, a high-level Sword Saint?"
Lu Se smiled pretentiously, bent over and bowed.
The little brother she thought was already a high-level Sword Saint? Are you kidding? Such a young high-level Sword Saint? Has his hair grown out yet?
Lu Ti Xi Ya's eyes were opened. A little brother had such strong strength, Silver Coin must have more good things there, she must buy them all!
Lu Ti Xi Ya left reluctantly. After sending her away, Silver Coin asked: "Where did the lord go?"
"The lord said he went to the Life God Pool. Where is the Life God Pool?"
Silver Coin and Lu Se came to the Life God Pool and found that it had completely changed. It was originally a bare, barren mountain, but now it was lush and green, turning into a forest.
The forest also extended to the mountains on both sides. If it continued like this, the entire mountain range would probably turn into a green forest.
You know, the side of the North Wind Mountain Range leaning toward the desert was all barren mountains without grass, and only the other side had plants growing. But now, this situation had completely changed.
If a climatologist saw this scene, they wouldn't be able to figure out what happened even if they blew their brains up.
Walking into the forest, Lu Se felt his spirit shake. The air was rich in something that made people's spirits relax. Taking a breath, he felt his whole soul quiet down.
With a rustling sound, in the trees, a giant bear poked its head out, looking at them foolishly.
Lu Se and Silver Coin naturally wouldn't be afraid of a bear. Lu Se even raised his hand and waved at the giant bear, as a greeting.
The giant bear grinned, also raised its big claw and waved at Lu Se. After Lu Se walked far away, it lowered its head to gnaw on a big wild boar.
"Didn't you say this is the Life God Pool? Why can't I see the World Tree?" Lu Se asked.
Silver Coin pointed to the surroundings: "It's everywhere. In order not to be discovered, the God of Life changed the form of the World Tree, letting it grow out. Every tree, every vine, every blade of grass you see could be a mimicry of the World Tree."
"Wow—" Lu Se called out exaggeratedly, sounding like it was very powerful.
"In this kind of forest, ordinary people are very easy to get lost and can't walk inside, but we can walk casually; the God of Life will open the road for us." Silver Coin said.
Walking casually like this, they soon arrived at the valley where the deep pool was located.
After a period of growth, the World Tree had already grown all kinds of vines, covering the whole valley. Even if you flew over from the air, you would only see a lush forest, and it was very difficult to see the surface of the pool in the valley.
Usually, the surface of the pool was also filled with mist. Even if someone broke in by accident, they would only be dizzy in the mist, and then somehow walk out.
Only creatures recognized by the God of Life could see the full picture when they entered here. As soon as Lu Se went in, he was startled. Two big eyeballs in the rock crevices were staring at him.
"Be careful, there's a big snake, run quickly!" Lu Se jumped up instantly, pulling Silver Coin and wanting to turn around and run.
Those two big eyeballs narrowed their vertical pupils and stared fiercely at Lu Se: "Who did you say is a big snake? Are your eyes blind? Have you ever seen a four-legged snake?"
Duo Luo Ke crawled out of the rock crevice and stared down at Lu Se.
Lu Se immediately shouted: "Be careful, run quickly, there's a four-legged snake!"
It made Duo Luo Ke so angry that he wanted to slap him down.
"Duo Luo Ke, this is Lu Se. Lu Se, this is Duo Luo Ke. Lu Se, have you been with Lightning for too long? Your words are so annoying." Silver Coin asked curiously.
"Maybe, but it also speaks very annoyingly. What 'eyes are blind', no manners." Lu Se reacted quickly. From the moment he pulled Silver Coin and Silver Coin didn't move, he realized that this 'big snake' was one of his own.
It was easy to handle if it was one of his own. Anyway, he couldn't do it, so he would see whose mouth was more poisonous.
How could Duo Luo Ke be a match for the 'well-trained' Lu Se? He hummed depressedly and shrank back into the rock crevice.
"Alright, alright, I know. I'll sweet-talk Guster and have him hand over the main pillar of the Warlock's Ladder to me, and Lord Duluoken will fix it, how about that?" Anthony hurriedly mediated to prevent the meeting from veering off into who knows where.
In fact, isn't mutual teasing the very reason they are becoming more familiar with each other? It is precisely because they are familiar that they can joke and expose each other's shortcomings without restraint.
If it were the Negris and Duluoken from back when they were in the Palace of Rest, how could they possibly get along like this? Duluoken would have long ago turned the person teasing him into a rabbit or a bald man—like a certain bald brewer.
"Don't worry, no problem, leave it to me." Duluoken, in order not to tarnish his reputation as the Alchemy King, hurriedly patted his chest and guaranteed it.
He didn't even do his experiments and went straight to find Laite, telling him to find all the members of the Dulaite family to prepare for training.
The training materials would be the airships and flying cars they had snatched previously. By dissecting the Warlock Alliance's technical lineage from these constructs, in case the Warlock's Ladder was exchanged back, he alone wouldn't be able to quickly control everything on the ladder; he needed enough manpower to cooperate.
Of course, this was a small matter. When building the World Transit Station, Duluoken had managed a construction team of tens of thousands, and he had enough project experience. His "King" of Alchemy didn't just refer to the King of Technology.
Confirming that Duluoken had the ability to receive the Warlock's Ladder, Anthony immediately pretended to be unable to resist the temptation and contacted Cabrera, agreeing on the handover method and date for the Warlock's Ladder.
The handover date arrived, and a smaller-sized Warlock's Ladder landed at the location specified by Anthony. A normal Warlock's Ladder is over 700 meters long,
and this small one was only 300 meters, but it still belonged to the category of a behemoth.
Sixty alchemists from the Dulaite family boarded the Warlock's Ladder and, according to the methods Duluoken had taught them, checked every position on the ladder to ensure there were no uncontrollable tracking, messaging, self-destruct, sealing, automatic driving, etc...
In an airship hovering in the distance, Cabrera, with his green hair, watched the Dulaite family members moving in and out below and smiled, shaking his head: "Anthony, you clearly saw my purpose, yet you chose to step into the abyss. Greed and wishful thinking in human nature often lead people into dangerous abysses."
Cabrera's deputy behind him was a bit puzzled: "My lord, such a large ladder, where will they hide it? If they can't hide it, doesn't that mean telling us where the Holy Church's headquarters is?"
Cabrera pointed to the sky: "Hide it in the void, and bring it down when needed. Usually, they will travel through teleportation arrays. They will definitely build a teleportation array in the ladder. I've already left the location for them."
The deputy was even more puzzled: "Then isn't it very dangerous for them to get the ladder? They could attack the Starburst Array at any time."
"That won't happen. We aren't blind; wouldn't we notice such a large ladder approaching?" Cabrera laughed.
"Then it wouldn't justify exchanging it with a ladder." The deputy still didn't understand.
"Do you know how many people it takes to drive and maintain a ladder? How many materials? How much money? How many supporting facilities are needed for eating, drinking, and excreting? And some special materials and tools—these all require warlocks to refine. As long as they use these things, we can infer a lot of information about them through various channels."
"Previously, they were hiding in the dark, and we couldn't catch a glimpse of them. The ladder is bait, bait to make them float to the surface," Cabrera said confidently.
The deputy still didn't understand: "What if they have a large-capacity storage bag that can hold a lot of supplies, have their own channels to find materials, can refine them themselves, or don't need to eat, drink, or excrete?"
"You're doing this on purpose, right? If they had those, would the Holy Church still need to hide?" Cabrera scolded in annoyance.
The Warlock's Ladder rose slowly, just as Cabrera had expected, rising all the way to the void, disappearing into the depths of that pitch-black void.
As long as they maintained enough distance and without tracking, it would be impossible to find a Warlock's Ladder in the vast void.
Duluoken assembled the teleportation array at the fastest speed, activated it, and Ang's group walked out of the teleportation array.
Opening the Divine Realm, all kinds of daily necessities were taken out at once, enough for everyone to use for a month or two.
"My lord, is there any refined gold?" Duluoken asked.
Ang reached out and took out a refined gold ingot.
"My lord, bring me a World Tree branch."
"My lord, help me dig a trench here, but don't consume the air. We don't have much air, we can only rely on your Spot-Removing Technique."
"Uh, decomposing water into air and fuel? Isn't that too mana-intensive?"
"My lord, elf beans save too much space. One bag is enough for them to eat for months, and they don't even need to excrete."
"My lord..."
Negris and Anthony were there munching on nuts, laughing: "If Cabrera knew that our logistics could be handled by the lord himself, I wonder what kind of expression he would have?"
"Later, bring those night watchmen from Ramuo over. The ladder doesn't even need living people to be stationed here; it won't consume much," Negris also laughed.
After everything was handled, Ang teleported back himself and quickly teleported back. This time, he filled an entire Divine Realm with water.
Tom, who hadn't been seen for a long time, was taken out. It didn't know what was happening when it saw Ang stuffing pure water into it.
