With a burst of mist-like white gas, Xia Tisi's soul was taken into the vase.
This state can gradually consolidate her soul, which is equivalent to slowly increasing the length of her survival.
But that body can no longer gain life under the goddess's apostle contract, and the soul can only continue to exist as a ghost when it returns to the body, entering the countdown to dissipation.
Sleeping increases lifespan, and waking up shortens lifespan.
That's about it.
This way of existence made Xia Tisi always compete with the god of death. Sleeping for ten days and a half would only add a few days to her life, and there was still a certain upper limit.
But for Luo Wei, this time is enough... Well, it's not that he wants to find pleasure in the excitement of approaching death, but...
He walked forward, came to Xia Tisi who had lost her soul, and squatted down to the side.
Vermeer was stunned.
Eh?
Could he be planning to take advantage of this moment...
Luo Wei took out an anklet from his arms, tied it to Xia Tisi's ankle calmly, and made some arrangements on the soul vase.
Then, he handed a blue-gold curved pendant to Vermeer.
"What's this?"
Vermeer took it in her hand and asked.
"Pure Water Summoning Seal, a thing that allows you to summon Xia Tisi in an emergency. It is triggered by the spell of the Goddess of Purity Water."
"Eh?"
Vermeer was stunned for a moment.
It took about five seconds for her to realize that today's actions were all preparations for future plans, and the current preparations were actually made for her.
Am I...am I so uneasy?
and.
"P-Pure water?"
"Well," Luo Wei nodded, "This is something from the realm of the Goddess of Purified Water."
As the apostle of the goddess, Xia Tisi, even if the goddess is no longer here and cannot use her divine power, her strength and knowledge are unquestionable, and she can give Vermeer one more trump card.
As for how this item came from, it was naturally synthesized in advance through knowledge that would only be accessible in the future.
It is equivalent to taking advantage of the intelligence advantage from the previous round.
But this thing couldn't be justified in front of Xia Tisi, so he had to wait until she fell asleep to take it out.
"Hmm...how do you know this better than me..."
"Let me state it in advance," Luo Wei looked at her coldly, "If you have nothing to do, just use it randomly, and I will be scolded by her, you know."
"..."
Vermeer can probably feel that this is a very precious prop, and if it is used indiscriminately, he will take care of it.
X﹏X
The two teleported back to Wuguan City, and after putting on disguises, they came to the Yinshen Sect's workshop.
When Luo Wei sneaked in, Sheila, who was concentrating on reading in the room, was hung up with a swish.
"ah!"
Sheila let out an unexpected cry, hanging upside down on her head and feet, and the water cane whip hit her body. The book in her hand fell out of her hand in mid-air, and she was trembling from the whip.
Well……
The High Priest Mother Wei Mier looked on and suddenly felt that Luo Wei was quite gentle to her...
Two seconds later, black magic power surged from Sheila's body, turned into a shadow and sneaked into the ceiling along the chain, fell sharply, and cut off the water whips with the magic blade.
"S-Priest..."
Silla lay on the ground and looked at them, her face was stunned and she had not yet reacted.
She was concentrating on her book when she suddenly flew away. Without any precaution, all kinds of water-like tentacles suddenly started to whip her...
I can’t remember how many times similar things have happened...
Luo Wei didn't respond. He snapped his fingers, and the surrounding water whips exploded with ripples.
Wow——
Sheila used magic power to resist, and the Night Demon dagger inserted on the ground at some point suddenly set up a triangular barrier, trapping her inside along with the water flow.
"Hey! Gululu..."
Submerged in the water, Sheila slapped the barrier hard. After trying several times to no avail, she opened her eyes wide and shook her head desperately.
Luo Wei was indifferent.
And a few seconds later, he suddenly stretched his hand behind him.
There, Sheila, who appeared at an unknown time, was pressed on the forehead, and her whole body froze.
"C-can you see through this..."
Sheila, who was held down, did not struggle and allowed him to capture her with a frustrated look.
And the Sheila who was trapped in the barrier before slowly turned into a shadow and disappeared.
In the Yinshen sect, a dark attribute shadow trick.
In fact, Wei Mier also noticed it, and the reason why she didn't look back was because she was now the High Priest Mother of the Yin God.
I am the great sacrifice mother of the Yin God!
"You're barely qualified." Luo Wei let go of Silla's forehead and threw three black tips to her.
In this way, she at least has the ability to escape from the conspiracy.
Sheila thought it was a scam and didn't dare to accept it.
This reaction can be called vigilant enough.
"It's indeed for you," Luo Wei looked at her and said, "I won't be here for a while. You can use it if you encounter an emergency, but I can't guarantee a timely response."
Silla was stunned for a moment, "Master Priest...you want to leave?"
"Um."
Luo Wei didn't plan to say too much.
All he could do was push her enough to allow her to escape from the hands of the Yinshen cadres.
As for how she will go in the future, will she become the cruel and paranoid Black Saint again? After giving her the ability, she needs to find the answer by herself.
No matter how naive and stubborn she seems at the moment.
After hinting to Wei Mier, he followed his chief priest mother to the door and stopped again.
"By the way, I'll give you this too."
Luo Wei let go of the scepter in his hand, and a high-level dark attribute magic branch was wrapped in it.
Just think of it as a farewell gift before the turmoil in Wuguan City.
"protect yourself."
Dalanglang fell to the ground, and Luo Wei followed Wei Mier out.
Sheila looked at the scepter on the ground, her eyes blank for a while. For some reason, she always felt that something unimaginable would happen before the next meeting.
This feeling was very difficult to grasp, but she nodded heavily.
"Um!"
Even if the priest has already left.
…
After taking off his disguise, Luo Wei took Wei Mier around the entire Crownless City.
While inquiring about the trends, I also went to Keluoqian's workshop, John's workshop, the orc employee hotel and other places to make all the preparations that needed to be done without leaving any worries.
"Huh..." After finally finishing her work, Wei Mier wiped the sweat on her head with her arm, "This way, even if something happens, everyone in the workshop can rest assured."
It was rare that she didn't think about shopping alone.
But even when she wasn't shopping, she looked happy.
Luo Wei joked under the sun: "What, you don't plan to save everyone?"
Recognizing the meaning of his words, the girl pursed her lips sarcastically, "I, how could I think so? I have always felt that it is more important for everyone to perform their duties! If it involves too many superficial things, it will be constrained, so You waited until this moment to cooperate with Ming Mian, didn’t you?”
"Has your brain grown again?" Luo Wei rubbed her head, parted her forehead and smiled.
"Hmm... Am I really that stupid?" Vermeer stayed where she was, letting him expose her forehead, "I also know that you have planned to do this for a long time!"
"oh?"
Luo Wei still smiled and did not explain.
"Isn't it?" Vermeer explained naively, "Our preparation today is not so much about saving someone as it is about eliminating hidden dangers for future actions, so that we can face the Craftsmen Guild head-on. Otherwise, when the time comes If something happens in the city, we are worried about the safety of Belle and the others, so why should we rush back from the deepest place again? Athetana's existence can also convey the news from the ground in time, so that we can fight with peace of mind."
"And..." She seemed a little unconvinced, "As long as we stop the Craftsmen Association before they have time to prepare, maybe the disaster that originally destroyed the city was just a rain in the end, wouldn't this indirectly save everyone? Even if No matter how hard the rain falls, there are already so many bright-side forces united to actively respond. Isn't this the so-called "something someone will do"? "
But if no one stops the Craftsmen Guild, when the time comes, all that will be left to the bright side forces may be ruins.
Luo Wei clapped his hands.
"It's amazing, it's amazing. We, Vermeer, even thought of this. It's really awesome."
"Disgusting...disgusting!"
Unlike the beast tide in White Harbor Town, it should be said that participating in this plan made her accustomed to her own thinking.
Luo Wei closed his eyes, thought for a moment and then looked at her.
"Then you must know how to warn the forces on the surface that the heavy rain is coming, right?"
"Well……"
Well……
Well…………
Vermeer thought of several plans in her mind, but none of them seemed feasible.
It is definitely not possible to directly expose the Craftsmen Association. Without conclusive evidence, blind exposure will only make the situation more turbulent, and this is exactly what the Craftsmen Association wants to create the Machinist Goddess.
Let them build disaster prevention fortifications in the city in advance? Putting aside whether it was a rain disaster or not, it would be too unconvincing to organize the whole city to repair it without any warning.
It would not work to hold a meeting to ask the public forces to sign a confidentiality agreement. After all, those forces are not all of the same mind, and the Craftsmen Guild itself is even a member of them.
Seeing Luo Wei looking at her, Wei Mier scratched her head.
"I...give me some more time, I will definitely be able to think of a solution!"
"No, you don't have to think about it."
Vermeer choked for a moment and looked at him eagerly.
why is it like this……
But at the same time, she was curious about how Luo Wei planned to solve this problem.
"What's your idea?"
"I don't have to think about it."
"...?"
Vermeer is confused, Vermeer is puzzled.
What do you mean, this problem can be solved without thinking at all?
Ugh... I'm still too stupid.
Luo Wei looked at her reaction and smiled. This kind of thing that involves multiple forces and needs to be kept secret is not something that can be figured out by just patting the head. It's strange that she can come up with it.
“Actually, there’s a completely no-brainer solution to the problem.”
"What is it?"
"That is to leave the problem to others to solve."
Vermeer: "..."
()
It's a shame that I used my brain to think of so many plans...
Wei Mier looked at Luo Wei in a daze, and Luo Wei was amused by her appearance and pinched her doughy face with both hands.
Rowe was only going to tell Ryan about this matter.
As for what he should do and how to deal with it, it is up to him to think about it. The experience along the way will not be in vain.
Although he was worried about Ryan's condition every time, the results again and again showed that he had exceeded his expectations, at least doing better than he did in the previous round.
But Luo Wei does not deny that there are factors of his influence in this.
"Well... what if the other party doesn't solve it well?" Wei Mier asked one more question.
"Nothing else to do." Luo Wei closed his eyes and looked at the bustling street under the scorching sun, where there was an endless stream of pedestrians and craftsmen.
The center of the world's forging craftsmanship, Wuguan City, one of the seven independent cities.
"If the city cannot withstand even one heavy rain, then even if the rain does not come this time, it will be destroyed sooner or later."
Vermeer followed Luo Wei's gaze and saw that the church books were no longer willing to record how many cities this position had changed over the past twelve hundred years.
Now it's the craftsman's turn.
This is not only a test of the various forces on the surface and undercurrent, but also a test of the craftsmen in the entire city.
After all, it is the "city of craftsmen."
…
That night, Rowe and Ryan talked a lot.
Now, the time has come when we need to rely on each other's strength, and there is no point in hiding it anymore.
After experiencing the incident at the courtyard meeting, Ryan has already understood the seriousness of the entire incident. Therefore, even if he knows it, he must think carefully and carefully select allies he can trust.
"My dear friend, I really didn't expect you to bear so much on your own. This is exactly the same as in White Harbor Town."
"So this guy is here to find you, isn't he?" Luo Wei smiled and raised his glass to him.
The two sat on the outdoor steps, clinking glasses of Ryan but not drinking.
"What I mean is that you can actually rely more on other people," he looked at Luo Wei and said, "You always take on things alone that ordinary people can't even imagine. No one can do it in parallel with you. This makes me a little worried.”
Luo Wei drank the ale in one gulp, holding the empty cup and laughing to himself.
"I can't be considered working alone."
She originally came to tell Ryan the truth, but unexpectedly, he became worried about her instead.
Isn't he using their power now?
Ilusi's tricks, Vermeer's spells, Shaye's combat power, Ayi Ning's observation ability, Athetana's support, Lu Yi's space ability, Ke Ruoxi's craftsmanship ability, each of them has expertise in the field. All are unique.
"Are you talking about Miss Priest and Miss Angel?" Ryan looked at him and drank the glass of wine in one gulp. "I have never been worried about their safety, dear friend."
"...?"
Luo Wei stared at the ale in the cup, puzzled.
This sentence sounds weird.
It’s good not to be trapped in the Shura field, but you won’t be bent over there...
"You can always take into account what others have missed. With you here, I believe Miss Priest and the others will not be in danger at all," Ryan poured himself another glass and sighed, "But when you encounter What to do if it's dangerous? Will you go first and let them follow?"
Luo Wei laughed dumbly.
Only then did he finally understand what Ryan meant. Just because he was taking the lead here, he had the final say on all major decisions.
Luo Wei really couldn't do anything like letting any of them sacrifice, which was evident from Athetana.
But what Ryan doesn't know is that he still has a divine core of a third-level god in his hand. At the same time, Ryan also doesn't know how terrifying changes it can bring to his combat power by using this divine core to re-qualify.
Luo Wei was just unwilling to take a hard-earned opportunity, and his qualifications were locked at the level of a third-level god. It didn't mean that he would hesitate when faced with a desperate situation.
Of course, he still felt deeply about what Ryan said.
"I remember, thank you, dear friend." Luo Wei said solemnly.
"Haha, it's finally time for you to listen to me." Seeing him say this, Ryan smiled relievedly.
The two clinked glasses again, chatted about some interesting stories from their respective adventures, and spent some time reminiscing about old times. Rowe also recommended the Black Pill Street he visited last night to Ryan.
When Xie Londe came to find Ryan, Rowe got up and returned to his workroom. He didn't go looking for the girls who were everywhere in the workroom, and went back to his room alone.
According to the original plan.
He still had several letters to write.
First of all, the first letter was undoubtedly written to a guy who had not dared to come to him for a long time after experiencing the last incident.
Sit at the table and unfold the letter.
After a pause, he wrote:
"The noble fifth princess—Her Highness Lovely Midawai Tototlia..."
