Chapter 513: Shandani Island
Cathedral of Holy Light, meeting room.
Eliza glanced at the people present, coughed lightly, and said calmly: "First of all, I have great news to tell you.
My Lord has taken a step further on the path to becoming a Transcendent and has successfully advanced to the eighth level."
The news was so explosive and unbelievable that the scene was very quiet for a while.
No one knew what the eighth level meant, but they knew that without the protection of the magic circle, an evil god would be able to destroy the city of Shattrath.
It is an honor to see the god you believe in reach the top.
Janice raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and said with great joy, "Congratulations, my Lord, for advancing to the eighth level."
She paused and smiled, "After my Lord advances, will he attack the other evil gods on the continent?"
She now began to imagine that the God of Light would display his divine power, kill all the evil gods on the continent one by one, and after sweeping the universe, all the people would return to their hearts.
"No," Eliza replied: "To a spirit, the laws of the material world become shackles that bind him.
In addition, the concentration of spiritual energy is too low, forcing our Lord to reduce his dependence on spiritual energy by sleeping."
She described the situation in Clown in detail, saying that the people here were all Ming Cult elders and confidants, and were trustworthy.
"My Lord will only wake up on the night of the red moon. Can we meet him on the night of the next red moon?"
Nick asked, his child would be born in a few months, and an eighth-level god would be the godfather. He wanted to laugh in his dreams.
When the time comes, he must mention the child's baptism so that the spirits don't forget.
"Of course, even if you didn't mention it, I have decided to arrange for you to meet me."
Eliza nodded affirmatively. Of course, these people should be allowed to participate in this opportunity to increase their loyalty.
The stronger the husband, the more they will recognize the Ming Cult and the more loyal they will be to the Moya family.
She paused and continued:
“The god has fallen into a deep sleep, and I will stay by his side to take care of him.
If something major happens in the church, please report directly to the manor.
I announce the formation of the College of Cardinals for the Administration of the Church, consisting of Nick Mizzone, Chloë McLean, and Janice Smith.
As for ordinary teaching affairs, the three of you can discuss and solve them together."
"As you command, Your Majesty!"
Eliza nodded and said with a smile, "I'll leave the teaching affairs to you all."
Chloë responded positively: "I will definitely live up to your trust."
Eliza took out the Fire Cube, and a gold and silver spirit controller floated in the air.
She pushed the Rubik's Cube gently with her hand, and it flew towards Janice and stopped in front of her:
"Arrange someone to take the Fire Cube to the mine to mine."
Janice carefully put away the Rubik's Cube, as if she couldn't bear the weight of this small sphere.
"Tomorrow morning, I will personally take the Rubik's Cube to the mine."
She knew that this spirit master, who looked so shiny at the moment, had reached the sixth level, so she did not dare to be arrogant at all.
The rolling gray fog blocked the moonlight, and in the darkness, the waves crashed against the rocks, making a rumbling sound.
The island of Shandeni is surrounded by high mountains, with wizard towers standing on the top of the mountains, forming a huge circle.
The wizard tower was like a giant dragon sucking water, wildly devouring the gray fog, forming gray whirlpools in the sky.
Lannister frowned and hurried into the wizard tower standing in the center of the valley basin.
A month ago, he advanced to the fifth level and was full of energy and vigor.
As a result, the day after he was promoted, the fraternity assigned him a difficult experiment, which reduced the sense of satisfaction he felt for being promoted.
This wizard tower is extremely tall, twice as tall as the surrounding wizard towers.
He entered the steam elevator and absentmindedly said to the first-level wizard who was acting as the driver: "36th floor, meeting room."
After saying this, he leaned against the partition of the elevator, his brows furrowed even tighter.
The elevator reached the 36th floor, but Lannister seemed unaware, with a look of deep thought still on his face.
"Sir, we have arrived at the 36th floor."
The first-level wizard reminded carefully, feeling very nervous.
Recently, the senior executives have been inexplicably irritable and he is often reprimanded.
If he doesn't remind them, the other party will definitely reprimand him for not fulfilling his duties as a driver.
If he reminds him, the other party will most likely scold him for interrupting his thoughts, which would put him in a dilemma.
"Uh, are we there yet?"
Lannister came to his senses, hurried down the elevator and entered the meeting room.
The conference hall was packed with people, all of them wizards above the silver rank.
"Everyone is here, let's start the meeting."
The person giving the orders was the Speaker of the Supreme Council of the Brotherhood of Warlocks, His Excellency Branwell Hawkins, a sixth-rank wizard of both fire and shadow.
Branwell is a blood wizard with the blood of a shadow dragon.
In recent years, his strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and he has made breakthroughs one after another to become the only sixth-level wizard in the Brotherhood.
Half a year ago, he took over the scepter from the former Speaker and became the most powerful wizard in the Brotherhood.
Brenwell glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "The new magic array can use gray fog as raw material to refine a very special energy source.
This energy source is highly polluting, and we are looking for suitable purifiers to purify the energy source and reduce its polluting properties.”
One member of parliament objected:
“Mr. Speaker, with all due respect, we simply cannot use this highly polluting energy.
Continuing the research would only be a waste of the Brotherhood's funds.
With so much energy, it would be better to put it into researching spell models with more powerful power.
Those mutant sea beasts are madly attacking our defense line, and the defense line needs more funds to be reinforced."
Branwell smiled faintly and retorted: "We have already spent a huge amount of money and time on this research. If we give up now, all our efforts will be wasted.
Those businessmen were right. The cost of silence is so high, why not increase it? Besides, if we can solve the energy problem we are facing, the wizard towers on the defense line can release spells continuously.
The defense line will surely stabilize quickly."
The gray fog lasted longer and longer, and became more and more polluting. The Island of Xandani was isolated overseas, and communication with other forces was becoming increasingly difficult.
There are no large energy crystal veins on the island, and the energy gap is obvious, so it is necessary to rely on purchasing from the outside world.
The island can still maintain stability because of its abundant reserves of such strategic materials.
What I am afraid of is that as time goes by, the world situation will face more severe challenges.
If communication with the outside world is interrupted and strategic materials are used up more and more, one day there will be no energy available in the Brotherhood.
Without energy, the wizard tower cannot maintain its operation. If that happens, the gray fog will completely cover the island of Shanderni and the Warlock Brotherhood will face a crisis of survival.
“Speaking of purifiers, I recommend trying Holy Light Potion and Purity Potion.
These two potions are used to train spirit masters and are very effective in removing pollution.
If evil spirits can be purified, purifying the gray fog is no problem at all."
The person who spoke was Yennefer Gale. When the church of Rhine City decided to move to Shattrath City, she led most of the remaining wizards to leave the city where they had left their memories for more than ten years.
She only left a few third-level wizards in Shattrath City to establish healthy trade relations with Shattrath City.
"Sir Yennefer, I have already ordered my subordinates to test the method you mentioned."
Branwell shook his head and smiled bitterly, "No, after the gray fog is compressed into energy, the quality of the purifier required is very high."
"As far as I know, there are many specifications of the Pure Heart Potion and the Golden Light Potion. The potions we purchased in large quantities from Shattrath are just ordinary ones."
Yennefer's bedmate, the White Wolf Geralt, possesses the Golden Light Dao Seed, so she knows more about the two potions.
As she spoke, she took out a golden potion and said, "This is the highest quality golden potion I have ever obtained. It is a sixth-grade potion. Your Excellency the Speaker will know if my plan is suitable after you try it."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
She used a special technique to throw the potion over, and Branwell caught it accurately in his hand.
He looked at the potion, but his heart did not relax: "How much is a potion of this quality worth?"
Putting aside the question of whether this golden potion could purify the gray fog crystals, he was worried that the potion was too expensive to purchase in large quantities.
In that case, the Golden Light Potion would be a purifier that is not suitable for actual situations.
He thought of another question and said:
“Xandani Island is 3,000 kilometers away from Rhine City in the Farouk Kingdom. Even if the medicine is useful, it is impossible to purchase it in large quantities continuously.
If possible, I would still like to use what can be produced on the island as a purifier. "
No matter how good something is, it is useless if it is not practical.
Yennefer nodded in agreement and said:
"You are right, I have a foolproof plan.
The Ming Cult's Shattrath City possesses a magical array called the Moon Soul Spiritual Light Array. Once this array is activated, it no longer requires a continuous energy supply to continue operating.
Four magic arrays form a group, with a magic array center, which can continuously produce solutions with the properties of Golden Light Potion and Clear Heart Potion.
In addition, the Moon Soul Spirit Light Array can dispel the gray fog and purify the environment. If we can get a set of such a magic array, we don’t have to worry about the problem of not having purifiers available.”
After hearing this, all the wizards talked about it and said that the effect of the Moon Soul Spirit Light Array was very satisfactory.
"Is there such a perfect magic circle in the world? Frankly speaking, I am a little skeptical."
Branwell frowned, he couldn't believe that it was true that a magic array that did not require energy to be driven could produce high-level spiritual materials.
Yennefer smiled but said nothing. She didn't believe it at first because it went against the basic principles of magic circles.
Finally, she figured it out. There must be some kind of energy hidden in the sunlight and moonlight that they didn't know about.
The Moon Soul Spiritual Light Array can extract this kind of energy, which explains why the array can continue to drive itself without adding energy crystal cores after it is activated.
Bronwell thought for a moment and then asked, "What do you think the chances are that the Ming Cult will agree to build a magic circle for us? Is the price high?"
As the first Stigma Gold in the entire continent in the new era, one can imagine how powerful the other party would be. He was not sure that the other party was willing to build a magic circle for them.
Yennefer sighed and said:
"Ever since the Speaker ordered the wizards living on the mainland to return to the Island of Xandani, this place has become increasingly isolated.
As far as I know, the Holy See of the Kingdom of Budamia has already built some Moon Soul Aura Arrays.
I think as long as we pay enough, they will build a magic circle for us."
Brenwell put away the golden light potion and said:
"I'll test the potion's effects and then discuss it with you."
He turned his head away and said:
"Lord Lannister, are there any results from the biological experiment you conducted?"
"Mr. Speaker, my experiment is not going well."
Lannister scratched his hair in annoyance and continued:
“The experiment is divided into two parts. The first part is to use the gray fog to cultivate the type of monsters we need.
Our technology in this area is becoming more and more mature, and we can already mass-produce monsters that meet the requirements.
The second part involves installing mind-control runes on these bloodthirsty monsters, which is a complete disaster.
I tried all possible methods without success.
After implanting the mind-control rune, the monsters became extremely violent and were completely out of my control. "
This biological experiment is to provide a solution to the problem of 'more and more mutated sea beasts impacting the defense line'.
The defense line is a veritable meat grinder, and many wizards have been killed here, so the Brotherhood's top brass hopes to create a biological army to replace the warlocks and fight against mutated sea beasts, fighting violence with violence.
Yennefer interrupted:
"I think you are going in the wrong direction. Since they are biological soldiers, why do we need them to obey our orders?
I think replacing the mind-controlling runes with mind-stimulating runes will make these monsters as violent as possible.
When the mutated sea beasts launch an attack, we just need to release the monsters we created to fight them.
Anyway, these monsters are consumables, so it is acceptable for them to disobey orders."
Lannister slapped his forehead suddenly: "Yeah, why didn't I think of that? Oh, my thinking is wrong."
The wizards discussed some other issues and the meeting ended.
Three days later, Branwell summoned Yennefer and Lannister again.
He said excitedly:
"The experiment went very successfully. The sixth-grade golden light potion can indeed be used as a high-quality purifying agent."
He took out two grey diamonds and said, "This is the new energy crystal. With it, we will be more confident in defending the Island of Sendeni."
Yennefer and the other person took the energy crystal and immediately identified it.
After a while, Branwell said, "I have decided to send the two of you to the city of Shattrath. You have both dealt with Crown Moya before, so it would be much more effective than a stranger like me to talk to him.
You are responsible for discussing the construction of the Moon Soul Spirit Light Array. As long as the other party is willing to cooperate, you must reach a cooperation agreement."
Yennefer and the other looked at each other and nodded slightly.
Lannister asked again: "What price are we willing to pay to build the circle?"
"At any cost!"
Branwell directly gave the highest authority. He understood the value of a magic array that could continuously produce high-grade materials without the need for energy crystal cores.
Finally, he added, "You can go to the Kingdom of Budamia to test the waters. This way you can save some resources during the negotiations."
