The people of Sandy have clearly felt a change in the wind recently.
Living in Sandy Territory, people inadvertently developed the misconception that the demons had come to offer comfort.
For some time now, legendary powerhouses have been arbitrarily leaving the city to slaughter demons. Every time the people hear battle reports from outside the city, they feel that our territory is infinitely powerful.
"What's going on? Does our Sandy Territory have so many legendary figures worshipped?"
"So powerful! The demons are too weak!"
"I heard from the soldiers who came down from their shift that most of the legendary worshippers are women..."
"Hey, have you heard? They're all legendary witches, and even witches have allied with my territory."
"I don't have time to talk about it anymore. I have to go to the battlefield to help collect the demon corpses. It's a pity that I can't earn military merits from the free soul crystal rewards."
"Picking up demon corpses is nothing. The guy who found a high-level demon weapon is really rich. Yesterday, he even bought the latest magic crystal car in front of everyone. The style and price of that magic crystal car are amazing. We would need to earn magic crystals for several lifetimes to buy one!"
"What do you know? Military merit is everything. Do you understand, becoming a noble? Tomorrow, the suicide squad recruitment is starting again. I'm afraid we won't have enough demons to kill!"
"..."
It has been a month since Ron issued the new Lord's Decree.
Half a month ago, the magic device for converting demonic energy was rushed out. The initial version of the magic energy converter was named Soul Crystal Millstone.
The Soul Crystal Mill at the front line is shaped like a large pot. All the things related to the demons can be put into that mysterious device, and soon, Soul Crystals will come out from the other side.
Soul crystals differ from magic crystals; soul crystals are mostly composed of soul energy, which is determined by the nature of the laws of the abyss.
The original source of demons is the various souls of the multiverse. The laws of the Abyss True Name restrain countless wandering souls, and demons are born. At the same time, demons also have an extraordinary thirst for souls.
Many types of demons possess the innate talent of soul devouring; soul energy is a common power for demons.
The technology for converting demonic energy crystals out individual soul energy crystals…
Now that we have a large number of Soul Crystals, a new type of Magic Energy Cannon has also been successfully developed. Due to the tight schedule, Magic Crystal Cannons still make up the majority of the quantity. However, the production speed of Magic Energy Cannons is significantly greater than that of Magic Crystal Cannons. Magic Energy Cannons also have another name: Soul Crystal Cannons!
On the battlefield, the soldiers quickly discovered that the magic cannon was much more useful than the magic crystal cannon.
The magic crystal cannon is similar to a magic fireball in its essence, but the magic energy cannon uses soul crystals as its energy source. When the original demon energy attacks the demons, it's like the demons fighting amongst themselves. Since it's all internal fighting, their magic resistance is hard to bring out.
The reason why demons have magic resistance is determined by their origin:
Evil souls from all realms inevitably pass through law barriers on their way to the abyss. Some law barriers will directly annihilate most of the evil souls. Even if a few souls are ultimately bound by the true laws of the abyss, that is enough. The world is as numerous as the stars, too many to count, and is collectively referred to as the multiverse.
As their souls passed through the barriers of the laws of various realms, it was as if they had undergone a certain degree of baptism by the laws. The demons became very difficult to kill, with astonishing adaptability and recovery ability. The extremely harsh environment of the abyss also caused the demons to be passively trained in a constant state...
Those who live on the edge of a sea of fire all year round are naturally resistant to magic such as fireballs. Even water magic is weak; water that gets too close will be evaporated by the demonic black flames.
The mages quickly discovered the various benefits of Soul Crystals. Soul Crystals are naturally beneficial for nurturing the soul, and the strength of the soul's spiritual power largely determines the number of mages. Spiritual aids are generally quite expensive, but with the large-scale production of Soul Crystals, the price of spiritual medicines dropped across the board.
Soul crystals are incredibly effective at restoring mental energy during battles, so mages are no longer so worried about overdrawing their mental strength. Unfortunately, magic is much less effective when used on demons.
After half a month of verification, Soul Crystals can now replace Magic Crystals. Of course, Magic Crystals are not entirely useless; they contain more elemental energy, while Soul Crystals primarily contain Soul Energy.
A new Soul Crystal currency decree has been introduced in Sandy Territory: one Soul Crystal equals one Magic Crystal. Following the principle of equivalence, all citizens of Sandy Territory can convert Soul Crystals for free, but demons not killed voluntarily do not count as military merit…
There are several other laws and regulations concerning Soul Crystals, such as Soul Crystal transactions cannot be forced, Soul Crystals can be used to pay for the use of my territory's own industries, such as the sale of Magic Crystal vehicles and cargo ships, and Soul Crystals will be used as the salary and compensation of my territory's official personnel, just like Magic Crystals...
In the past life, gold was a hard currency. In this life, gold is not worth much magic crystals. Magic crystals and soul crystals have become the general equivalent. Energy is obviously much more useful than gold and the like, making it a natural fit for currency.
When mages go out to buy groceries or something, they prefer to look for Soul Crystals, as Soul Crystals are extremely useful for cultivation, while magic crystals are not lacking for mages.
For the past month, people from several kingdoms near Sandy Territory have arrived. One after another, legendary figures from other territories have poured into Sandy Territory. Then, these important figures, who are rarely seen in normal times, quickly leave. When they leave, the legendary figures or demigods from other territories slaughter the demons along the way.
Demons are equivalent to Soul Crystals, and a large number of Soul Crystals are equivalent to luxury cars, luxury houses... Adventurers are having a blast, and many residents are also temporarily acting as adventurers and mercenaries, with everyone going out to pick up money with great enthusiasm.
In the tavern, the bards who sang epics had changed their storytelling style:
The best of times for adventurers!
Legendary or demigod powerhouses who obtained the two precious technologies slaughtered demons along the way, but dared not kill any more after a few miles. They kept a low profile and went home first. These two technologies were far too important; they couldn't let them pass on even if they died.
In fact, the outer lord's legendary or demigod wished to keep a low profile from the moment he left the city. However, when he was buying the technology inheritance, he was asked by the Sandy territory to share the defensive tasks of Sandy territory. Also, he was told not to come to the rescue if his territory was in trouble, otherwise he would be surrounded and attacked, and he would bear the consequences.
Collecting Soul Crystals would be better done primarily with magical machines. However, since a large number of magical machine legions are only serving as outer guards, adventurers should always be given more. Also, this opportunity allows ordinary and daring civilians to witness the horrific state of the demons, which will make future war work much easier.
It would be better if the people picked up the money themselves than if Ron tried to find a reason to distribute Soul Crystals. Soul Crystals would naturally become universally usable, and a new elemental profession should appear in the future.
Soul Master!
The birth of new elemental professions means a large amount of combat power. Moreover, the number of times one can ultimately become a god is limited for each extraordinary path. It is not so difficult, which generally means that the success rate is greatly increased. If you want to master a law, you also need to create a new law!
In order to promote the emergence of Soul Masters, a month later, Ron summoned several witches of legendary rank or higher to the Lord's Mansion.
The witch civilization has never truly ceased; this is evident from the warlock hierarchy that Ron once witnessed. The witches have definitely researched the creation of new extraordinary paths.
In the lord's manor, Ron instructed, "What Soul Masters should cooperate with, please compile and publish a book as soon as possible. If you have any other requests or difficulties, please feel free to raise them!"
