Chapter 1220 The Enraged Yan Tiansi

Aiwass has been very busy these days - when he decided to save these people of the Sabbath, he decided that he could not just take care of the people in the city of Paradise.

The Red Hands burned, killed, and looted everywhere, causing great turmoil and disaster. Among those who managed to escape, some went to or were captured in other city-states, and became slaves of other benevolent masters voluntarily or by force; while others came to Paradise City in pursuit of "hope".

The underground sewer built by the Goblin Chamber of Commerce has been completed, and the water from the water tower can be directly introduced into the Rock Cellar City, so Sherlock was freed from the Rock Cellar City.

In a sense, the others could even be considered Sherlock's bodyguards... so they followed Sherlock to Paradise City. However, Sherlock's water replenishment speed was fine in Rock Cellar City, but it was obviously not enough for Paradise City. He came here just in case.

Although people from Paradise City were constantly migrating to New Hellas, others were also constantly migrating to Paradise City. They would need some water along the way, and if the water ran out early, wouldn't these people die of thirst later?

But with Sherlock, it's no problem to at least provide them with some water for the journey.

After all, although "summoning water" looks ordinary, it is actually an extremely advanced spell.

A fifth-level wizard could easily summon pillars of fire and lightning that could destroy a small town dozens of kilometers away, teleport a person from one end of the country to the other, or melt stones into mud and construct a barrier that could block artillery fire... but it was almost impossible for him to summon a glass of water or a small stone out of thin air.

This is the limitation of this world, because only the source of creation has the authority to create.

It is easy to condense a cup of water from the air, which can be done at the first or second energy level; but if it is to really create it out of thin air, even the Heavenly Master can hardly do it.

Even with the fragments of Tiansi, Sherlock only used Tiansi's "key" to temporarily open the wall between the material world and the dream world and summon water from the dream world; what those good masters did was the same, except that it was Yuan Tiansi who used the "key" to open the door.

Fortunately, Anxi's side has gradually gotten back on track, so there is no need to trouble Sherlock to burn up his magic to make water every day - once the magic power is completely exhausted, it will be very uncomfortable.

It felt like being carsick while being very sleepy, feeling nauseous and having a headache, unable to open my eyes and unable to sleep.

However, it is actually quite difficult to accurately control the mana to the point of exhaustion without overdrawing. After all, Sherlock does not have a system panel, so he cannot accurately see how many units of mana he has left.

Just like when a person is running or exercising, it's difficult to tell when one is nearly exhausted and when one is completely exhausted unless one is extremely experienced. And even experienced people can occasionally misjudge this or simply stop early when there's still some room for improvement.

This time, Sherlock encountered several problems because he tried too hard.

Fortunately, this time, Yulia provided the alchemical potion that soothed his overly weary soul. However, it was also possible that it was precisely because of the potion that he dared to overdraw his mana without restraint.

The water in Paradise City can still be used for a while. Sherlock came to Paradise City and finally had a few days to rest and relax.

Fortunately, Aiwass had the foresight to bring a team with him when he went to Anxi. Otherwise, he and Sherlock alone would definitely be overwhelmed by handling so many things.

Of course, the workload here mainly lies in the docking aspect.

As for the reporting and statistics, that was easy enough—Aivas simply used prayer to summon several Sand Clock apostles to the lower realms. Many of the Sand Clock apostles were scholars and businessmen, and they were quite efficient at processing complex data.

A few days ago, Aiwass took the time to write a letter to the Pope, in which he wrote down his speculation about "The Thorn of Sin" and "The Eldest Son".

Aiwass had also studied advanced divine arts, but he had not seen similar knowledge in the books at that time... In other words, at least at the level of the Cardinal, knowledge about Sinthorn was still not common knowledge.

But no matter what the level of this knowledge was, Gray knew it for sure - after all, she was once a legitimate saint and had received a complete education inherited from the Pope.

Although writing and sending letters within the ancient Parthian Empire was very troublesome, this common sense did not apply to Aiwass and Gray.

The Candlestick's apostle, "Winged Flame," was already happy to help people send items, and Aiwass and Gray didn't even need to prepare a ritual to summon an apostle of Winged Flame's caliber. Although their communication frequency was a bit infrequent, it could basically be considered a portable mailbox.

In this case, it took several days to reply - Grey apologized in the letter and mentioned the reason for her delayed response.

"The dwarves have completely messed up. Aiwass, you probably have no idea what the North has become now.

"Yan Tiansi's personality is far more violent than they imagined. This is understandable, as Yan Tiansi's concepts inherently involve elements of 'elimination' and 'optimization'. However, the dwarves' motive for summoning her is tantamount to admitting their own backwardness and decline... But up to this point, the situation has actually been relatively stable.

"But the dwarves made another mistake—their plans were too complete. Or rather, they were overconfident.

"When they realized that Yan Tiansi's attitude was clearly not friendly, they activated the second plan. This was to 'kill Yan Tiansi and seize his authority as Tiansi', while also allowing those on the path of dedication, who had the largest number of members, to more safely ascend to the sixth level.

"... Putting aside the fact that their Path of Devotion profession itself is a profession provided by the Flame Celestial Master, the Magician, if the Flame Celestial Master is annihilated, it would mean that this power is nullified. Consider them as wanting to utilize this Celestial Master's fragments to ascend to become a new Flame Celestial Master... But the biggest problem is that they greatly underestimated the power of the Flame Celestial Master.

"Yan Tiansi's power in the Path of Devotion is second only to Sizhu, and even more powerful than some weaker Pillar Gods. She rules over the realms of fire, steel, and forging... If Red Calamity hadn't seized the realm of war first, I'm afraid Yan Tiansi herself would have gradually transitioned from machines and weapons to warfare."

The Flame Master... He is the Master of scorching iron and burning steel, the Master of the crucible and the furnace.

This concept is closely related to civilization. What kind of civilization is it without fire and iron? She is highly compatible with the source of civilization, only slightly skewed by her demonic influence... The advent of a celestial being on this scale is not something a race like the dwarves, who have been isolated for thousands of years, can handle.

After the dwarves lost the war against the elves, they have been shut away beneath the mountains, imagining the elves in their violent phase as their enemy and frantically preparing for war. They do not pass on their technology because they fear that other races will "steal" it.

Only a very small number of dwarves were willing to leave the North Mountains and travel to other countries. They learned about the Tail Ring Ceremony half a month late, all thanks to reports from the frost giants living on the ground and the dwarves who specialized in processing intelligence.

"The dwarves didn't even know the details of the battles with the Celestials—they just assumed that if the Celestials could defeat puny humans, there was no reason they couldn't. If they couldn't even defeat humans, then there was no way they could fight the elves.

"Although some clever dwarves tried to stop this, it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. The existence of the Frost Giants has touched a sensitive nerve among the dwarves. If the once-mighty Giants could be defeated and the invincible Supreme Heavens could fall, then there's no reason they couldn't establish their own Pillar Gods. Without the Pillar Gods' protection, even the Giants would be reduced to mere watchdogs.

"So, under the overly excited public opinion... the dwarves held the Tail Ring Ceremony without adequate preparation.

"After Yan Tiansi was angered by the dwarves, she directly destroyed the entire underground empire—"
