"The scepter of heaven? Where is it with you?!" Anthony, who had just been pulled in from Ange's consciousness space, jumped up after hearing what Negris said and asked excitedly.
"It's not here with me, but in the hands of the great sage of the Immortal Empire. It's said to be a reward for completing the mission. Why are you so excited? Didn't you get a lot of archangel rods from the Tree of Life before? By the way, what did you do with those things?" Nigris asked curiously.
"Can these be the same?" Anthony said anxiously: "Can these things be compared? Those are just antiques. I hired experts to restore them. I am going to hold an exhibition of lost artifacts and tour the eastern parishes to bring those in the west All the devout believers are seduced."
"What's the difference?" Negris asked: "I probably know something about the scepter of heaven, but I'm not sure, so I came to you to ask. How about, Anthony, you change your job and become my believer?" Come on, let me update the knowledge base.”
Anthony glanced sideways at it: "Dreaming."
After a pause, Anthony became serious: "The scepter of heaven is the key to heaven."
key? Ange and Negris subconsciously looked at Ange's boundary-piercing hand.
"What's the use?" Nigris asked quickly.
"From the descriptions in the holy scriptures I burned, the scepter of heaven can summon the kingdom of heaven to come." Anthony recalled.
"I understand, I can perform spatial positioning, just like when I used you to position myself and descended into the Abyss of Rest." Negris guessed.
"Well, it should be. Secondly, you can also summon the Gate of Heaven." Anthony added.
"Gate to Heaven? Not Stairway to Heaven? Does that mean the portal can be opened?" Negris guessed.
Anthony nodded: "It should be, of course, it can also open the Stairway to Heaven. Anyway, once you get the scepter, you can connect to and from the Holy Heaven at any time. You mean, the great sage uses it as a mission reward? As long as someone can solve the problem of food Question, just reward him with the scepter?"
"Yes, that's what Ferik said." Nigris said.
"Then this reward is very meaningful. Tsk, tsk, tsk, the great sage is still as cunning and wise as before." Anthony praised.
"Haha, I haven't seen that old undead for more than a thousand years. I hope he won't be confused. He dares to take out this kind of artifact that can directly communicate with the Holy Heaven. He is not afraid that the Church of Light will get it and summon the Holy Heaven back. "Nigris was not interested in Anthony's words, but sarcastically said.
"No, this task and reward are just to lure the church into taking the bait, because only the church has the ability to solve the food problem in the Land of Perdition. Only the church can be tempted by the scepter of the kingdom of heaven. Even if others have the intention, they cannot take it. Food brought to the land of perdition.”
When Anthony reminded him, Nigris understood instantly: "Yes, the Great Sage hopes to solve the food problem. Only the church has the ability to transport a large amount of food into the Land of Perdition. His reward is to attract the church. They They don’t even know that the Holy Kingdom is gone, and we have dug up Elf Beans in the Plaza of the Gods, so the church will definitely be interested in this reward.”
At this point, Negris's bad taste came up again: "What if the church gets the scepter of the Kingdom of Heaven and returns to the Kingdom of Heaven to find the Elf Beans in the Square of the Gods? Will they launch a holy war against the elves?"
"Yes." Anthony smiled bitterly: "At least I will respond promptly and launch a holy war against the elves. So you must not let the scepter fall into Guliani's hands, otherwise you will be in trouble and many people will die."
Negris nodded and asked again: "Isn't the Great Sage afraid that if the church gets the scepter, he will summon the Kingdom of Heaven to come here and drive them back to the east?"
"Are you coming to the Land of Sinking? No, the sky in the Land of Sinking is full of space cracks, and the Holy Kingdom cannot get close to it." Anthony said.
Nigris was shocked: "Is it really a space rift?!" When it was observing the inverted light bands in the sky, it was guessing whether they were turbulence ejected from the space rift, but it didn't expect it to be true.
After some inquiries and exchanges, Negris figured out the details of the scepter of heaven, and discussed the corresponding method with Anthony. When he was about to interrupt the soul connection, Anthony suddenly remembered something and said:
"By the way, those elves are looking for Mr. Ange all over the world. They are publishing apology letters all over the world, saying that they are willing to accept punishment for previous offenses and only hope to be forgiven by Mr. Ange. Now the whole world is guessing, Mr. Ange who is it."
"The elf has given in? So soon? Has the Tree of Life awakened?" Negris said in shock. It has only been two months, but the stubborn elf has already given in? How can it be?
Unless the Tree of Life wakes up and threatens them to submit, but that shouldn't be the case. Looking at the Tree of Life's posture, it doesn't look like it can wake up in just two or three months.
"If they want to be submissive, just be submissive, and if they want to apologize, then apologize? It's a good idea, just ignore them and leave them alone for a few months. You should pay more attention to their situation." Nigris said.
Nigris did not plan to contact the elves now. These elves were too arrogant and uncontrollable. At least he would wait until the Tree of Life woke up and something could restrain them.
In fact, Nigris had a very good impression of Gaillard, Galadel, but the truth mage with the forbidden magic realm gave Nigris a very dangerous feeling.
After cutting off the soul connection, Negris said to Ange: "The scepter of the Kingdom of Heaven cannot fall into the hands of the church. Now the Holy Kingdom of Heaven is stuck on the Abyss of Rest. If they regain control of the Kingdom of Heaven, we will be in great trouble. , what can you do?"
Ange tilted his head and took out a handful of seeds: "Use this."
"Pfft! Isn't this the kind of high-yield grain you planted in the first place? I forgot about it. You can still ripen it in season in the soil-erosion environment of the Palace of Rest. If you replace it with Can fertile land be harvested in three months and produce high yields?" Negris asked.
"You can breed in advance," Ange said.
"Zobada, I bet you have already thought about what to plant here, waiting for the eternal night to pass. Then what are you doing here these days, plowing the ground and planting glowing moss?" Nigris had a feeling of heartache.
Ange tilted his head and said truthfully: "Play."
Puff puff puff puff~~~blood spurts all over the ground, if there is any.
The grain seeds cultivated by Ange in the Palace of Rest are a truly high-yielding crop. For more than a thousand years, the farm's fertility has continued to lose. In order to ensure that the crops can be harvested before the end of each growing season, Ange continued to improve grain varieties for a thousand years.
This kind of grain cultivated in an extreme environment immediately exploded with astonishing power when it was brought to the fertile land outside. Previously, Ange's fastest time was one and a half months to mature and harvest.
However, this fast harvesting method resulted in low yields. Later, we mastered the quick-death halo. The advantage of short growth time is no longer an advantage. Then there are long-grain cereals with excellent taste that can be planted in salt water. Saltwater magic rice caused Negris to ignore this primitive grain.
The growth time is short and the yield is relatively high. Isn't it the most suitable artifact for this plane?
But what bothered Nigris the most was that Ange had obviously decided what to plant a long time ago, but he still worked in vain for several days, which made Nigris worried about him, fearing that this dead skeleton would be depressed and sad, ah!
During his stay, Ange spent time reclaiming and preparing farmland, such as adjusting the fertility and pH of the land, plowing, inactivating, purifying, burying base fertilizer, etc. If you want crops to grow well, preliminary work is very important.
Some tasks are very troublesome for ordinary farmers to do, but Ange can do it easily. He only needs to continue to cast purification spells.
So in an immortal territory, there are sizzling sounds at any time, and along with the smell of drying quilts, the breath of death hidden in the depths is purified so clean that even some tenacious insects and bacteria can't Survive.
While Ange was preparing the land, in the slums behind the Holy Wall City, the Great Sage was also struggling because there were too many things to deal with. At this moment, he deeply felt the disadvantages of the small number of advanced undead creatures. .
For example, now, even tasks like interrogation require him to do it in person.
"This suspect robs and kills." The undead men commanded some skeletons, escorted the rows of criminals up, and pointed at one of them.
"Robbery? Murder? Suspect, please raise your head. Have you ever done such a thing?" As the great sage asked, the criminal raised his head, his eyes gradually became blank, and he responded blankly: "Yes... …Killed two…”
The great sage obviously used some kind of spiritual interrogation technique. He immediately asked for evidence. When he heard the answer, he simply waved his hand: "Chop it off."
It was said that he had chopped it, but after he was pushed aside, a silver skeleton holding a bone dagger stabbed the criminal from the chin, straight to the brain, and stirred it hard.
From this position, the bone dagger can go straight into the brain without damaging the structure of the skeleton. If it is stirred again, it will be dead. In this way, a complete corpse can be obtained.
Of course, you can also pierce it through the eye socket, but if you pierce it through the sleep socket, the eye cannot be saved. If the corpse is reincarnated into a lich, wouldn't it become a one-eyed witch?
Even such details are considered so clearly, it is worthy of the immortal empire.
"This suspect stole a huge amount."
"Cut off the hand."
"This suspect is a traitor."
"Cut it."
"This suspect is a little girl."
"Thrown into soul prison and burned until death." Soul prison is a more terrifying punishment than the death penalty. The soul will be burned. Normal creatures will faint and die if they are burned by fire.
But Soul Prison burns the soul. It is impossible to faint, and it is difficult to die. Burning to death means that the sanity in the soul is burned to the point that it no longer recognizes who it is.
The great sage judged them quickly, and under his mental pressure, each of those who had committed crimes was honest and admitted their crimes.
Judgment is just one of the things, the more troublesome thing is feeding the captive humans.
Over the years, the Great Sage has been working tirelessly to increase the number of living creatures in an attempt to feed a larger population.
Some people think that undead creatures are immortal and exist forever, but that refers to high-level undead creatures. Although low-level skeleton zombies will not die, they will wear out.
Normal human bones and joints are worn out by the age of fifty-six, and this is because they are protected by skin, muscle, and fascia.
Skeletons do not have these protections. If they move like humans, the joints and soles of their feet will be worn away in more than ten years.
If you want to protect these low-level undead creatures to the maximum extent, it is best to let them lie down and not move. Lying in a dead place covered with soil can greatly delay this loss.
However, no matter how much we delay, more than a thousand years is the limit. If there are no new corpses to replenish, all undead creatures will eventually decay.
Most of these undead creatures are from a thousand years ago. They returned from fighting in various major planes with them. Many of them are decayed. If this continues, I am afraid that only those high-level zombies with metalized bones and skin will be left. Only skeletons can move.
Therefore, living creatures are not the enemies of the undead, but the foundation of the undead empire. Undead creatures are not the enemies of living creatures, but the new form of life after death.
However, this interdependent relationship was gradually distorted by the propaganda of the Church of Light, and finally became irreconcilable.
Why would the undead kill you? They don't eat humans.
This time, the Church of Light was defeated and left behind hundreds of thousands of living creatures in the Land of Sinking. Some people had horses and cattle. This was a huge wealth.
The Great Sage doesn't care whether his subordinates are humanoid skeletons or corpse witch horses, as long as they are undead creatures.
The only problem is how to feed these hundreds of thousands of people. The materials left behind by the Church of Light when they retreated, and the villages that humans have cultivated nearby, can provide part of the food to sustain one or two eternal nights.
But if we want to develop sustainably, we must solve the problem of food self-sufficiency, otherwise we will end up with hundreds of thousands of corpses.
In order to solve this problem, the great sage did not hesitate to take out the scepter of the kingdom of heaven. He did not believe that the Church of Light would not be fooled. Solving the food problem would only add hundreds of thousands of people to the sinking land, but taking back the scepter of the kingdom of heaven would be equivalent to Got the key to the kingdom of heaven.
In the middle of the criminal's trial, someone suddenly came to report: "Great Sage, there is a transmission request from the teleportation array."
The great sage perked up and said, "Here we come! You come to the trial." The great sage floated away excitedly and pointed at the undead man who was escorting the prisoner.
"Me? Great Sage, I don't know how... Uh, okay, I'll judge him. This one, murderer? Cut him off."
"This one, adultery? Well, cut it? Cut it, cut it."
"This one, cheated, chopped."
"This one, Prostitute? Cut it off."
"Cut, chop, chop!"
The Great Sage came to the teleportation formation, full of expectations. Who would the Light Church send to talk to him?
There was a flash of light, and several humans who looked like old farmers appeared in the teleportation array.
Not the Church of Light? The great sage was stunned. There was no breath of holy light in these people.
Seeing the great sage, one of the farmers said loudly: "Is the gentleman in front of you the great sage of the Immortal Empire? We are members of the Druid Guild. This is the Spring Breeze Cup Druid Competition. The yield per mu is high. The inventor of grain seeds, the great sage, we have brought high-yielding grain seeds to you."
The inventor of high-yield grain seeds curled his lips and said disdainfully: "There will be no Chunfeng Cup in the future. That coward Chunfeng does not deserve to have a grain seed competition named after him."
