Chapter 644: Praise Ceremony
Lu Yao readily agreed to Bifrons' application for an organized way of managing demons.
However, Zhu Zhi said that the internal negotiations of the Shadow Demons are still in progress, and Bifrons is trying hard to facilitate the joining of other Shadow Demons. The list of demons who will surrender has not yet been determined.
Lu Yao took this opportunity to open the [Exchange] of the low-dimensional game.
Since Zhu Zhi and Bi Fulongs are trying to regularize the demons and make them the gods they follow, I will also give them a push.
Lu Yao found a legitimate reason to go shopping.
There is still a rich variety of trading items on the shelves of the exchange.
Lu Yao searched for the word "devil".
Three related objects pop up below.
…
[Demon Torch]: Holding a Demon Torch will prevent you from being possessed or attacked by shadow demons.
HP: 44/44 ……
[Demon Torch] There is sufficient supply and the price is 1000 faith per piece.
It can be seen that the gods are still very wary of demons. This kind of prop that can avoid shadow demons is widely circulated, which means that it has a large audience and is consumed a lot.
Lu Yao spent 300,000 yuan to buy 300 of them.
These identical props will overlap and only display numbers, but will not take up space in the prop bar.
Another related object is also a functional prop.
…
[Demon Pointer]: Within the effective distance, the pointer will point to the direction of various demons.
HP: 102/102 [Directional Identification]
Can identify whether the target is a demon or possessed by a demon.
…
The Demon Pointer is more expensive, costing 260,000 Fires of Faith for one.
Lu Yao bought all five currently in stock.
The shadow demon's advanced camouflage can easily deceive ordinary individuals, and coupled with its endless variety of abilities, even the apostles cannot guarantee that they will be able to discover it.
With the Demon Pointer, it will be much easier to find the Shadow Demon.
Apart from these two, there is also a reverse spectacle.
…
[Gate of Hell]: A wonder built by demons. Pay tribute to the demons, and they will send out shadow demons in response.
【Devil's Praise】
Sacrificing 1 portion of sulfur, 1 portion of human blood, and 3 Omni-Stones will trigger a ceremony of praise that will be sensed by the demons. There is a certain probability that a shadow demon will descend from the door.
The more sacrifices used in the ceremony of praise, the higher the probability of triggering the shadow demon.
…
This one is not used to fight demons, but to summon shadow demons, and is priced at 600,000 faiths.
Wait.
Lu Yao suddenly thought of it.
Change your mindset.
It is known that shadow demons can devour and merge with each other.
So, can we create a dungeon for spawning demons? Let legitimate demons like Bifrons go there to spawn shadow demons to level up, or let warriors and explorers of the Yao tribe go there to train and challenge themselves.
This solution needs to be scoped to avoid abuse.
Lu Yao first took down [Gate of Hell], and then successively entered keywords such as [Demon Seal], [Restriction], [Blockade], and [Bound]. Finally, he found a target among the items on the shelves.
…
[Barrier Stone Wall]: A wonder with special power. It can build a blockade space by surrounding the stone wall. No ability can pass through the stone wall before it is destroyed. It is effective for non-gods. The barrier effect is related to health points, which can be replenished and improved through the Almighty Stone.
HP: 320000/320000 Defense: 55 [Space Barrier]
Creates a blocking effect, making it impossible for the inside and outside sides of the wall to cross the blocking stone wall.
【Fortified Wall】
…
The price is 970,000 faith.
Lu Yao fell into deep thought.
The shadow demons that initially descend are not strong. Referring to the Bifrons, they need to devour other demons and expand their believers in order to develop.
This wonder is enough to lock up the newly born shadow demon. We just need to send people to guard the surroundings.
Lu Yao was still prepared to ask the person involved whether it was feasible or not.
He bought the wonder first, then moved the perspective to the top of Zhu Zhi's head.
Beavers was also there.
On the pixel screen, this shadow demon is a gray-skinned man holding a lantern.
Apostle Zhu Zhi knelt on the ground and listened to the oracle, which made the shadow demon who was staying there understand immediately.
An exclamation mark lit up above Bifrons' head: "Opening the gates of hell...Aren't we going to reduce the number of demons? Are we going to bring in demons?"
“…So that’s what happened.”
It immediately came to its senses: "It's feasible! Newly born shadow demons are very fragile, and the style of shadow demons is usually to outwit rather than fight with force. No shadow demon wants to show up and openly oppose the gods. This is in their nature."
Lu Yao thought so too.
As a demon scout, the shadow demon focuses on collecting intelligence about the kingdom of God and stealing the gods' beliefs and rituals. A success is achieved when the demon returns after natural death.
Lu Yao immediately began to make arrangements.
In terms of location, for the convenience of jurisdiction, Lu Yao set the address at the Resurrection Kingdom garrison in the Mystic Kingdom.
There was a circle of buildings surrounded by bone walls, with mobile fortresses and bone wizard towers standing in the middle. There were bone dragons and bone chariots patrolling around, and butterfly-shaped flying dragons hovering in the sky and giving warnings.
In addition to the army, the headquarters of the Secret State's Public Security Bureau is also here, but compared to the size of the garrison, the number of agents is much smaller.
Lu Yao pointed out [Barrier Stone Wall].
This wonder is a tall wall that can be expanded and shrunk. He marked out a square area next to the garrison and placed the stone wall. After landing, there is a door in front and behind the stone wall, which can be locked and opened manually.
Lu Yao asked Isabel to try and confirmed that the stone wall could not be crossed either in the air or on the ground. It was indeed an obstacle at the spatial level.
Only then did he place the [Gate of Hell] within the surrounding wall.
At the bottom of the Gate of Hell is a stone platform formed by a pile of rocks, and on top of it is a tightly closed gray stone door, with wisps of black air rising from the stone door.
Next, Lu Yao asked Isabel to handle the follow-up procedures.
Soon, there were more white bone dragons and skeleton soldiers standing guard outside the stone wall, and there were also special flying dragons in the sky to keep watch.
After receiving the order, Bifulongs and the other man entered the wall, and Zhuzhi brought in the prepared sacrifice.
As he approached the gate of hell, several lines of words appeared above Zhu Zhi's head.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
【Sulfur-1】
[Blood -1]
【Almighty Stone-10】
After the ceremony of praise was completed, a large amount of black smoke suddenly gushed out from the Gate of Hell.
Soon the black smoke dissipated and nothing happened.
Zhu Zhi continued to repeat the above operation, but this time it became double.
…
Lu Yao was not worried about the consumption of resources. The Yao clan had no shortage of sulfur, blood could be dispatched from the blood hill, and the reserves of omnipotent stone were also abundant.
Now it just takes patience.
Zhu Zhi's attempts continued to fail until the sacrifice was doubled to ten times, when finally there was a change.
A little man slowly condensed out of the black smoke.
He had a sword on his waist, a staff in his hand, a white cloak on his head, and a golden crown on his head. He looked more like a king than a demon.
A dialog box popped up above the shadow demon's head: "Are you my summoner? Huh?"
An exclamation mark suddenly appeared above his head: "Why are there other demons?!"
"You disloyal summoner! I will punish you! Die!"
As he said that, he rushed towards Zhu Zhi.
Bifrons immediately blocked him and entered into combat mode with the violent demon.
Lu Yao took a look.
This shadow demon is called [Bruce], level 60, with an ordinary face plate, and his specialty is music. I never expected that he is the type who would start a fight at the slightest disagreement.
Soon the Bifrons destroyed it.
Bryce turned back into black smoke and was absorbed into Bifrons' body. An ↑ symbol appeared above its head.
Bifrons bowed and said, "Sir, the shadow demon cannot break through this wall. It will block the inner space. You can only get out if you break it completely. I think it would be very effective if we summon the demons and kill them like we did just now."
"I got some new information from this Bryce. The call of this [Gate of Hell] is random. The sacrifices are transformed into prayers that the demons can see through the ritual. They will choose whether to respond according to their wishes. Most demons are happy to respond..."
According to its description, the mechanism of Hell's Gate is similar to a competition between two worlds. Whoever responds first gets the prayer.
Originally, the biggest pain point for the demons was the channel problem. They were banned everywhere by the gods, which made it very difficult to project.
Hell's gate is calling, there's no reason not to give it a try.
At present, it seems that the combination of [Hell's Gate] and [Barrier Stone Wall] can meet the basic needs and is enough to build a small copy of Shadow Demon.
Lu Yao gave half of the 150 [Demon Torches] and 2 [Demon Pointers] to Zhu Zhi, who would use them further.
Zhu Zhi knelt down and said, "Lord Yaoshen has given us so much help. Bifulongs and I will use it properly to stabilize the demon order in the Mystic Kingdom as soon as possible."
"Sir, with the help of the army, the police station and the investigation bureau, Bifrons has hunted and merged with other shadow demons during this period of time, and has also obtained some previously unknown intelligence. Let it report to you..."
The gray lantern figure Bifrons continued, "Lord Yaoshen, I have confirmed these circumstances."
"There was a demon who wanted to use the projection to find some weak gods and seduce them to strip off their godhood and join the demons. After I destroyed it, I got the news that the demons were divided into two categories: "Demon God" and "Black Angel".
"Demons are gods transformed into demons. This name describes that their source is gods."
"The Black Angel is the demon that the Feathered Man turned into."
Bifrons said: "However, there seems to be little difference between these two types of demons. It's just because of their different origins that the black angels often go to the feathered people, while the demon gods are more concerned about the kingdom of gods."
Only then did Lu Yao know.
The devil is a demon, but a demon is not necessarily a devil.
I didn't expect that winged people could also transform into demons.
Why do people like to jump left and right?
Lu Yao was a little curious.
So, has the devil ever been redeemed and become a feathered man? Or can the devil ever be restored to being a god?
“I really don’t know about this…”
Words appeared above Bifrons' head: "However, if the host becomes a god, the demon hostage will be forcibly removed by the godhead."
Lu Yao thought this was a good thing.
"After getting your permission, with the help of Zhu Zhi, I set up the [Demon Association] by imitating the [Transcendent Employment Association] of the Yao Clan. This will help us better identify our enemies and friends, and help the shadow demons grow and find jobs quickly, so that they can integrate into the social order of the Yao Clan."
"We now have two members, and they are both very effective! Now they are shining in their respective fields..."
Lu Yao took a sip of lemon tea.
That's right.
As long as they abide by the rules of the Yao clan, shadow demons can settle and operate in the Mystic Kingdom for a long time, and are also welcome to come here for employment and work.
At least they are high-level laborers. Don’t waste precious human resources.
