Chapter 423: Miniature Empire

Title power usually has a carrier, and the carrier of [Silver Hand] is a flying knife that shuttles through many worlds.

When Noland used the [Spell Bag], he accidentally summoned the [Blood Demon Sword]. Unexpectedly, it was attracted to the Silver Hand Flying Knife, and the two sides fought uncontrollably with their swords.

The two weapons fought hard, and in the end, the Blood Sword was constrained by the rules because it was a summoned creature and gradually disappeared. Although the Silver Hand Flying Knife was also bumpy, it flew around the world as a winner.

Noland managed to capture the flying knife, and then he realized that this strange weapon actually carried the power of the "Silver Hand" - one of the titles of the main god "Goddess Danu".

He put in a lot of effort and finally integrated the [Silver Hand] into himself and mastered the power of this title.

The characteristics of [Silver Hand] allow him to tame and hold any weapon, and further integrate and liberate the weapon to unleash a power that breaks through his limits.

Based on the Silver Hand, Noland's [Spell Blade] has become stronger.

He was originally a spell assassin who was keen on attacks and ambushes. After further development, he became closer to a warrior and assassin, and spells gradually became auxiliary.

"The Silver Hand and the Spellblade are both good, but not suitable for a god."

Koala's voice dropped.

"The Lord of Darkness believes that the title of [Silver Hand] is extremely useless. He angrily denounced it as garbage... He said that holding this title would increase the burden and require the collection of various weapons and props, which would be putting the cart before the horse. If a title cannot serve the gods, but instead further consumes the energy and resources of the holder, there is no need to maintain it at all."

Lu Yao thought about it.

To be honest, it is true.

This [Silver Hand] sounds pretty powerful, it can perfectly match various weapons, and can also help various weapons break through the upper limit. If given to an apostle who specializes in combat, it is indeed a very good ability.

But the foundation of god players is population and faith, fighting and killing with swords, that is the most primitive stage.

Based on what Lu Yao had seen in the low-dimensional game, the relationship between the titled gods was more about human relationships, wars and battles were very restrained, and their main focus was on the efficient circulation and utilization of resources.

The Dark God's judgment is correct and to the point.

"...The Lord of Darkness also said that he suspected that the weird woman Danu deliberately threw out this title to disgust people for fun, and ordered me to throw it away. I thought it was not her, so after my plea, the Lord of Darkness reluctantly let me keep it."

Noland said dejectedly, "But not long after, the Lord God of Darkness said that the goddess Danu sent a world where it was written, 'You gods like the garbage I throw out. Your taste is still so unique.'"

“…”

Lu Yao was stunned.

no.

Are you serious?

The gameplay of the real veteran gods is really eye-opening... Can titles be used to fish and show off wealth?

The koala said sadly: "After that, my life became completely dark."

"Originally, the Lord of Darkness repeatedly asked me to give up the [Silver Hand] and focus on the [Spell Bag]. He believes that this is a stronger and more promising direction."

"The facts have proven time and again that the Master is right and I am totally wrong."

"I am ashamed of the tolerance and cultivation of the Lord of Darkness. I deserve to be imprisoned in the abyss."

It let out a sigh.

Lu Yao could feel that Noland did not have much hatred for the God of Darkness, but more regret and remorse for his own foolish choice.

"The Lord of Darkness stripped me of my godhood and replaced it with the body of a koala, asking me to calm down, slow down, reflect, further delve into the [Spell Bag], and forget about assassins and speed. He will not let me go until he is sure that I have completed the transformation."

"But I didn't expect that after we parted, the Master had already passed away..."

The koala looked at Lu Yao and said, "Since the Lord of Darkness has fallen, I am no longer serving two masters... Noland requests to follow in your footsteps and pledge allegiance to you. I hope you will allow it."

Lu Yao said: "Give me a reason to recruit you."

Noland jumped off the wooden puppet, came over actively, rubbed his paws and recommended himself: "Lord God, there are 500,000 people in my territory, most of whom are stable and law-abiding abyss nomads. These people will offer their faith to you and contribute to the growth of your fire of faith."

"Among these people, there are 4,800 mages. They are the core talents I have trained over the years. They can not only build and maintain the mage tower, but also further spread faith and magic."

The population base is excellent.

The mage conversion rate of nearly 1% is also very good.

Lu Yao recognizes Koala’s management capabilities.

"In addition, during these long years, I have killed nine demigods and collected 6.1 million faith powers through various methods, all of which are sealed in a prop. I originally thought that the Lord of Darkness would let me go and I would use them... Now I am willing to give all of these to you."

6.1 million as the entry fee for Fire of Faith.

Lu Yao felt the koala's sincerity.

"Finally, I know a secret that no one else knows. The Lord of Darkness has a special design for the fifth floor. If we can occupy all four wonders on this floor, we can restore these four wonders to their original appearance."

Noland said solemnly: "The [Inherited Mage Tower], [Human Stable], [Second Hall Temple], and [Duel Forest] were originally part of the immortal wonder [Miniature Empire]."

"In addition to these four, there are another five parts. The Miniature Empire has a total of nine components, but the Lord of Darkness was not able to collect them all... I was briefly under the Lord of Darkness as a subordinate god, and was also given a related mission to find things related to the [Miniature Empire], so I know this clearly."

It sighed softly: "The Lord God of Darkness placed these wonders on the fifth floor, hoping that I can use them."

Lu Yao listened thoughtfully.

The God of Darkness is a strong and tyrannical god, but he seems to be good to his own people.

He threw Noland to the fifth floor. Noland, who was once a god, was the strongest among his peers. He also knew the secrets of the four wonders. This was a great start. Noland also remembered the kindness of the God of Darkness and still called his former master "Sir".

Lu Yao thought about it.

There seems to be no reason to refuse.

Although Noland has lost his assassin ability, he was once a god and has been reflecting and calming down in the abyss for many years. He also has his own way of training mages and building mage towers.

Lu Yao looked at Noland: "Why didn't you take down the other wonders?"

This question perked up the koala.

It seemed to realize that this was a final test, and immediately said, "After taking down the Mage Tower, I will move further towards the nearest Duel Forest."

"But an unexpected situation occurred at that time. The cursed insect came to this floor through the crack."

"In the Duel Forest area, head and tail insects, parasitic insects, critters, and finally the wise insects appeared one after another. The mage group I sent out was attacked by the curse insects and was completely wiped out. The critters and parasitic insects also tried to attack the homeland of the Mage Tower. For quite a while, I was in a state of war with those curse insects."

"During this period, Hu Yizi and Stoke took advantage of the situation and rose rapidly."

"Hu Yizi has taken over the stables and can transform a large number of cavalry, giving him an advantage in field battles. Stoke has taken control of the Second Hall of the Temple and obtained the monks and the Omnipotent Stone."

"They continued to expand, and other demigods were fighting each other. I lost the best opportunity... I could only switch to a long-term strategy, continuously building wizard towers, and advancing step by step."

Noland used his paw to adjust his mask: "One step slow, every step slow. I have lost the best chance."

In addition to the two rapidly rising powerful enemies, Noland also faces an unavoidable problem: the mass construction of wizard towers requires a lot of almighty stones.

The fifth layer is vast, and there are also omnipotent stones that will be naturally born over time, but in small quantities.

In addition to natural collection, Noland also needs to use trade means to make up for the gap.

The main target of the Omni-Stone trade is Stoke, the [Duke of Blackheart], one of Noland’s direct competitors.

Stoke owns the [Second Hall of the Temple], where the monks practice and gain enlightenment, and after death their bodies will produce the Almighty Stone, which makes Stoke a big user of the Almighty Stone.

This black-hearted duke would make Noland bleed heavily every time he traded with him.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

As their interests become increasingly entangled and the gap in strength continues to narrow, the day when Noland's four wonders will gather begins to become a distant prospect.

It turned around and started to attack small forces.

First, consolidate and expand the territory, absorb more people, train more mages, build more towers, and wait for the next opportunity.

Then Noland waited for the attack from the Sifang Kingdom and Lu Yao's passing by.

"In the final analysis, it's still because of our lack of strength."

Noland scratched his head in frustration: "If I had dealt with the cursed insects in the first place, I would have handled it better, and perhaps the situation would have been completely different."

Lu Yao thought it was normal.

In an era of fierce competition, to finally unify the world, one must not only have extraordinary strength, but also the right time, place and people. There is no real rookie among the demigods who can be placed on the fifth layer of the abyss. The intrusion of the cursed insects directly disrupted the situation. This is probably something that the God of Darkness did not expect.

Lu Yao said: "You have passed the test. Are you willing to become my apostle?"

"Yes, yes!"

Noland said excitedly: "I will definitely learn from the past lessons, steadily play to my strengths, focus on the development and exploitation of magic, and never be distracted again!"

Lu Yao raised his paw, and a glowing apostle mark appeared in his hand. He flicked it lightly, and the white light mark floated in front of Noland and merged with it.

"From today on, you are my eleventh apostle." Lu Yao announced.

"Yes, Lord Yaoshen!"

The koala knelt down and saluted solemnly to Lu Yao: "I will be loyal to Lord Yaoshen, and will put Lord Yaoshen's interests first and complete all the orders issued by Lord Yaoshen!"

After transforming into an apostle, Lu Yao discovered that the [Unusable] of the [Spell Blade] ability became (1000/1000), and only a symbolic 1000 points of faith were needed to restore this ability.

Lu Yao unblocked it directly.

He is different from the God of Darkness. The God of Darkness is a strict teacher, while Lu Yao is more laissez-faire.

Want to grow roses?

Let him plant.

Want to continue being a visiting monk in the desert? No problem.

Want to be an assassin mage?

OKOK, who knows that a mage can’t engage in hand-to-hand combat?

"This is... the magic blade has been unsealed! I am extremely grateful to Lord Yaoshen!"

Noland said happily: "Sir, do you want to go and see the [Inherited Mage Tower]?"

Of course you have to watch it.

The source of Lu Yao's imaginary wizard tower should be a majestic and ancient tower.

However, the actual objects in the treasury behind the palace were not like this.

It looked like one of those sand castles a child might have built, only half as tall as the worm, with a clay wall around it.

As the name suggests, the Miniature Empire.

…

[Inherited Mage Tower]: A miniature wonder created by mages, it records the construction and use of the mage tower in the form of a model and has mysterious power.

【Inheritance】

It has the ability to inherit, and can build the [Mage Tower] based on it.

【Master's Blessing】

The mages of the past left their blessings for the future here. There is a certain probability that a [Mage] will be born in the world they live in.

…

Only then did Lu Yao realize that the mages on this level originated from this miniature wonder.

Just looking at the panel of the Mage Tower would give no clue. This is a component of the Immortal Wonder, and there is no relevant record or description in the world background.

Lu Yao transformed it immediately, and the apostle marks were restored to 10.

Noland said, "Sir, I have an idea. Now that the Sifang Kingdom has entered the fifth level, I will cooperate with them to unify the four wonders as soon as possible. The Duel Forest is the best place for our next target. The parasitic insects have left, the wise insects have surrendered to us, and the crescent crickets have died... There are only the head and tail insects there now."

"You should discuss this with Bai Shen, Bart Fry and the others."

Lu Yao yawned.

He wanted to go back to Sifang City, stroll around that monster city, and experience the daily life of the residents of the abyss.
