After a day of training, the girls took a bath together, then sat together to share fruit, and while enjoying dinner, they listened to Ash recount his journey to hell last night.
"The Black Hell submerged by the Golden River, the Fantasy Hell where you can customize your world, the Ark of the Dead, the Nightless City..." Diya was fascinated by what she heard: "I really want to go there with you, Ash."
"I don't know why." Weisser said, "Now, even if you speak normally, Witch, I feel that there are sexual innuendos beyond imagination."
Sonia's face darkened, and Vichy's expression was subtle, and they obviously had similar thoughts to Visser. To be honest, the witch was not that bold, and as long as she was restricted from using the witch domain in the **, her performance would not be more outrageous than others, at least Silver Lamp was much more outrageous than her.
But the witch's strength lies in her extraordinary imagination and her ability to express it vividly. Not to mention Sonia, even Vichy can't stand it, after all, the witch makes them the protagonists of the story. In simple terms, the witch will imagine their fan fiction, for example, last night during the break, she casually said a paragraph, the scale of which made everyone who was creating the original work feel like they were going to be driven to death. In the end, it was Silver Lamp who saved the glory of the original work - she reproduced the scene described by the witch.
"Yin Deng, how dare you say that to me!" Diya was very dissatisfied: "It was obviously you last night——"
"Then let's start distributing the spoils!" Ash clapped his hands heavily, foiling Felix's intention to watch and eat melons. "First, the essence of knowledge. This time I basically plundered all the resources of Deep Blue Hell. Unfortunately, I just hurried through Black Hell. The essence of knowledge I collected is just enough for us to condense the triple prison wings."
The operators looked at each other, and the scene fell into an eerie silence.
"Okay, you all have no objection," Ash took out several bottles of knowledge essence: "Then take them back and drink them--"
"I just want to ask one question." Sonia raised a finger, "If you drink all the essence of knowledge, how many levels of your prison wing can you increase?"
"Do we really have to go through this arguing phase every time—"
"How many levels?" Sonia emphasized.
"A little more than the fourth level." Ash said reluctantly, but then added: "If I drink it all, it will only add one more level of prison wing, but if I share it with you, you can all be promoted from the first level of prison wing to the third level of prison wing. It is obvious which one is more cost-effective."
"But even Gospel knows who needs the Prison Wing more." Diya also stood on Sonya's side: "We have one level of Prison Wing, which is enough to deal with the Demigod War. In fact, if the Sword Law Angels hadn't ambushed us, we wouldn't have fought the angels to death last time. War is always the most helpless choice for us. We were promoted too quickly and our foundation is too shallow. We can't make up the gap with a few more levels of Prison Wings. Other demigods have accumulated thousands or even tens of thousands of years more than us. Even if we meet them, there is no need to tangle with them. Avoiding war and hiding, keeping a low profile and waiting for our accumulation to explode is the right way for us."
The witch spoke in an orderly manner. It was obvious that she had prepared a script in her mind before speaking, aiming to completely dispel Ash's intentions: "I heard you tell Sonia last night that you wanted to go to a hotel and get a room to lock yourself and her up for a month..."
Felix was so frightened that his face turned pale: "One month!?"
If it weren't for Diya standing on her side, the angry Sonia would have wanted to draw her sword and chop her. She suppressed her shame and said angrily: "Is this your point?"
"This is of course the key point. You promised it." Diya bit her fork and snorted, "Don't try to get rid of me. I'll be the one to get rid of you when the time comes."
No wonder Silver Lantern said that the witch's normal speech was like a hint, Felix had completely understood it. And she and Deda Rose, two outsiders, could say such things, so what the witch would say in private could not appear in this book.
"But Ash, the reason you have such an idea is because you just escaped from hell." Diya propped up her cheek and looked at Ash, "We can escape and avoid the battle, but you have to go deep into hell. Now it is the best solution to focus resources on you first. If you are safe, I have no doubt that we can be promoted to God Lord in the future or even go further, but if you encounter an accident in hell, can we still be spared?"
Ash was speechless because Diya was right. He had tried to please Sword Princess and Vichy today in order to pave the way for the distribution of spoils tonight, trying to cloud their minds with emotion. He had never expected that the witch would dominate the meeting this time. If he had known, he would have gone to find the witch in the afternoon.
"It makes me feel insecure that I'm so much better than you."
"Master." Wei Xi couldn't help but complain: "Do you want to think before you speak?"
Weisser didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Shouldn't you feel insecure because they are stronger than you?"
"But I'm a little scared," Ash said, leaning back in his chair, "I'm afraid that this way of distribution will become a routine, and then I can't help but fall in love with power. I'm getting stronger and stronger, and you're getting weaker and weaker. Allocating resources to you is no longer a matter of course, but a gift. You're no longer just operators to me, but subordinates who need to be taken care of."
"Even if we end up like this one day," he tapped his fingers on the table, "I hope that day will come as late as possible so that our team can last longer."
The atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit dull. Felix, who was concentrating on eating, felt something was wrong and carefully moved the last piece of steak onto his plate.
"You never take it for granted that you allocate resources to us." Sonia suddenly said, "We have to accompany you to fight against the Supreme of Magic. This is what we deserve."
"We are not just your operators." Diya said, "No one is willing to be just an operator."
After a brief silence, Vichy couldn't help but say, "The witch's words are obviously normal, but for some reason I always feel that the word 'operator' becomes a little bit..."
Everyone nodded, even Ash. The witch snorted and refused to admit it: "It's obviously you who are thinking the wrong thing."
"Honestly, Master, your reason does not convince me at all. It sounds full of naive wisdom." Weixi reached out and took a bottle of knowledge essence. "But if you are willing to give it to me, then I will definitely take it. Nothing can make me feel more secure than power."
Vichy's decision completely tipped the balance towards Ash's plan - since Vichy took it, Sword Lady and Witch had to take it as well, and they would never accept that the Ghost Prophet was stronger than themselves.
Ash breathed a sigh of relief: "Remember to drink it when you get back. The physiological reaction to drinking the essence of knowledge is very intense. You should remember that, right?"
"Remember that time when we drank together in the bath, we both saw each other's most embarrassing side." Diya looked at the Essence of Knowledge and suddenly came up with an idea: "Let's play a game tonight. Whoever loses will drink the Essence of Knowledge on the spot."
"Are you making such a big deal?" Ash was shocked. That was a physiological reaction that could cause social death.
"If you're afraid of losing, don't play."
"Come on, whoever doesn't play is a puppy!"
Ash noticed that Vichy's face turned pale. After all, although they were both embarrassed, Sword Lady and Witch didn't have much psychological burden, while Vichy had the burden of being an idol of Ghost Prophet. However, Ash didn't want to stop it, because he was also a little curious about what would happen to other people when they drank the Essence of Knowledge.
"The next step is to distribute wonders." Ash said, "I found a lot of wonders this time, but most of them are water wonders. I found that there are only six that are suitable for you, three for sword ladies, two for witches, and one for Vichy. But you can also see if there are any water wonders that are suitable for you."
"A wonder that suits me should suit you, too, right?" Sonia asked. "Is it necessary to give me so much?"
"Hehe, I'm not biased towards you this time." Ash said with a smile: "I kept the most precious and powerful wonder for myself. Even if you add up the six wonders given to you, they can't compare to it."
"That is the only wonder on the Ark of the Dead, the wonder of fate healing - a false promise!"
