Chapter 169: Prayer Technique! Extraordinary Cultivation Program!
A drizzle began to fall from the sky.
Xiao En walked alone through the long elf street littered with corpses and came to the villa where he used to live.
A team of fully armed superhumans blocked the street. The leader was a strong dwarf with a big beard. His name was Mordin Hammerheart. He was a gray dwarf from Abyss City. It was unknown whether he was a human or a soul from another world. Such high-level superhumans had an unknown past. Xiao En was not interested in prying into their privacy. As long as they were willing to fight for Holy Terra, it was enough. Xiao En mobilized the Pioneer Regiment of Abyss City for this battle. They were mainly responsible for escorting civilians to evacuate, and the casualties were not very serious.
"archbishop."
The leading gray dwarf put his fist on his chest and lowered his head slightly and said: "All nearby civilians have been evacuated safely."
Sean's current position in the Holy Terra Church is the Archbishop. This church is developing rapidly at a speed close to that of a cult. On the one hand, it is due to the spiritual power of Terra's will, and on the other hand, it is also because the living environment in the grotesque country is too harsh.
Even the extraordinary people from the Abyss City need a little faith to support them to move forward.
Xiao En nodded calmly and said, "What's the situation?"
The gray dwarf defender said enthusiastically: "The priests are already treating the wounded and recruiting new believers."
"It won't be long before the power of the church grows rapidly!"
Population, faith.
These can only be provided by the real country. Other places have intertwined forces. The chaotic Dagon is suitable for the Holy Terra Church to grow. There are more villains here, which is suitable for the priests from the Abyss City. If you preach in the Dorne area, I am afraid that the hideous appearance of the Abyss priests will scare the nearby residents silly.
The light of the teleportation array is still on.
This is a 9-ring teleportation array. Xiao En used the 5-ring magic constant technique to continuously teleport all creatures within a 1-meter diameter. Because he used part of the power of the No. seal - the mechanical brain, he was able to send so many people away at a critical moment.
Xiao En has just touched the threshold of legend. His minimum standard for himself is that of Master Anthony, the archmage in World of Warcraft, who can at least teleport a legion into the battlefield.
If he wanted to do this, he would have to involve the laws of the [space] field.
Demiplane.
As Xiao En stepped into the teleportation array, he entered his own half plane in a flash of white light. Every time the teleportation array was activated, it was equivalent to a high-level teleportation technique, which was quite stable. If there were enough resources, the entire planet could be equipped with a constant array and eventually connected as a whole.
The Weird Country has the technical conditions to do so, but does not have sufficient resource reserves.
In a word, lack of money.
The resources consumed by such basic public construction are enough to cultivate many legendary wizards.
Waves of crying and wailing were heard.
Xiao En saw the mechanical priests of the Holy Terra Church in the crowd. Because they did not have the divine arts of the priests, they could only use traditional first aid bandages to treat the wounded. The source of power for the priest path is the gods. Faith in a certain concept cannot be realized in the weird country because the relevant conceptual laws are distorted. Therefore, if you want to get the ability of divine arts, you can only get it from the hands of the Old Days, but in that case, you will be distorted into the Old Days' followers, and you will most likely become a cultist. Therefore, only after the birth of the first god, the promotion system of orthodox priests will be opened.
He saw the three lake fairy sisters in the crowd. After settling in Xiao En's demiplane, they had regained some of the brilliance of the legendary fairy species.
Fairies have a portion of the druid's spell list, and they can cast natural healing spells.
"Master Xiao En!"
Yvonne Tanner walked over quickly, bowed slightly and said, "The situation is a bit bad."
"Many people have been infected with the plague and corpse poison."
"Traditional first aid herbal medicine alone is not enough to save them. Some of them have already shown signs of poison attacking their hearts."
Translated, this sentence means that the body has become stiff and is only half breath away, and is about to turn into a zombie.
Xiao En didn't have many druids under his command, and the three sisters of the lake were completely unable to treat them. When the ritual was launched, the power of the plague had already been activated, and some people were scratched and bitten by zombies during their escape. If such injuries were not treated, they would turn into new zombies in a day or two at most. This is how the undead plague spread.
Xiao En nodded calmly, "I understand."
"Gather all the wounded and sick."
After saying that, Xiao En's figure flashed and appeared directly behind the eldest sister of the Fairy of the Lake. She had just awakened recently and her strength was roughly equivalent to that of a level 16 druid. If she recovered to her full strength, the three sisters of the Fairy of the Lake would all be close to the strength of a legendary druid. After all, they were legendary felines.
"Do you know how to perform the rituals of the Nature Festival?" Sean asked.
Undine, the eldest sister of the Fairy of the Lake, shook her head apologetically and said, "I'm afraid we can't do it. It is a natural ritual that must be presided over by the Archdruid himself."
Xiao En pondered for a moment and said, "What about the Fairy Dance?"
Undine thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "It may be a little difficult. The Fairy Dance requires at least dozens of fairies to perform together, and to dispel the disease and plague here, we also need the assistance of the Light Spirit Settlement. It would be best if we could find a sacred nature spirit, a unicorn, a giant eagle, or even a phoenix."
"If the Dryad sisters were still here, we might be able to give it a try."
At this point, her expression revealed a trace of sadness as she said, "It's a pity that they have already fallen."
There are almost no fairy species in the weird country.
Except for the legendary fairies that survived, the weak fairy species had already gradually died out.
Xiao En nodded slightly and said, "I understand."
"Then you arrange a ritual for the healing holy spring, and I will take care of the rest."
Mages can also save people.
Xiao En's mind moved, and he silently recited the honorific name of Lady Hecate in his heart. After feeling the spiritual resonance, he asked for help: "Teacher, I need the extraordinary relic of the 'Prayer Technique'."
Even though Ms. Hecate has fallen from the realm of demigod, she is still a divine being, and to be honest, Sean is not sure what realm his teacher belongs to.
After a moment, a gentle voice sounded, saying lightly: "I know."
About ten minutes later.
A strange blue heart was brought to Xiao En. Blood was still oozing from it. It looked like a freshly killed human heart. It was not a human heart, but an energy organ with the outline of a heart. Energy containing divine power was surging inside it.
Gods and monsters.
That is, the distorted elemental giants, which are almost invisible in the main material plane and can only be found by entering the inner elemental plane.
The teacher is still as reliable as ever.
Xiao En held the slightly trembling blue heart and simply ignored the pollution from the gods and monsters. At the moment when the skin on his arm gradually crystallized, he raised his hand and refined it.
He now needs a 9th-level wish.
——Neutralize toxins.
——Drive away diseases.
Xiao En began to arrange the ceremony on the spot. In the center of this huge hexagram ritual formation was a dilapidated blue-green pottery pot. It was the artifact left to him by Master Xu. Now it was used as the core of the entire ceremony. Xiao En planned to use it to cast a prayer spell to upgrade the spell to the level of a legendary spell, which was equivalent to a "miracle" performed by the gods themselves.
He didn't expect that the thing Master Xu left for him would come in handy so soon.
"The ritual begins!"
The surging magic power in Xiao En's body flowed towards the ritual formation. In every corner of the hexagram, the four concepts representing earth, water, wind and fire were ignited. In the center were light energy and dark energy, corresponding to the yin and yang of the Zhendan people.
He reached out and wiped the blue-green pottery pot in his hand. Along with a flash of light rising into the sky, an extremely huge, roaring giant appeared in the air.
"How dare you do this to me!..."
This giant wind elemental with dark green skin roared to the sky. His upper body was a very strong bald man with rough skin covered with markings. He wore a crown of storm lightning on his head. He might be a 'Sultan' of the elemental plane. Such beings were born demigods, but unfortunately they were born in the weird country. If they were in other crystal wall systems, they would probably be the overlord of the elemental plane.
——Soul-calming (true words)!
Runes engraved with mantras lit up, and the sacred oath left by Master Xu was activated.
The roar of the wind elemental giant came to an abrupt end. The next second, his huge body humbly lowered his head, with a hint of flattery on his face, and he said flatteringly: "Master, what can I do for you?!"
His speed of changing his face is unparalleled. Among the many elemental giants, the wind elemental giant is the most special.
Because they can make wishes, just like Aladdin's magic lamp, and they are also plane merchants. If you have a wind djinn dimensional bag, you can summon a djinn merchant at any time in any corner of the world. Of course, the price they offer is not very high, but it is very convenient to be on call at any time, and you can often buy some rare items from the inner planes.
However, in the weird kingdom, there are not many serious wind element giant merchants. They have all become wish-making machines. The good ones can make 9th-ring wishes, and the bad ones can make 7th-ring limited wishes. The price is basically the erosion of the soul. These guys are all polluted.
Strictly speaking, they are not elemental giants, but rather gods and monsters unique to the weird kingdom.
This guy really knows how to deal with the current situation.
Xiao En said calmly: "Start the ceremony and activate the Ten Rings Prayer Technique."
The elemental giant in front of him stared at Xiao En with a dark gaze and said in a flattering tone: "What does the master want? No matter what you want, I will do my best to satisfy your desire."
at this time.
Under the guidance of the Holy Terra priest, tens of thousands of people gathered here. Their expressions were extremely terrified, looking up at the behemoth that was tens of meters tall. If they had no other choice, they would not dare to approach this hideous monster that looked extremely evil.
"Drive away the disease and heal the wounded," Sean said calmly.
Hearing Xiao En's words, the expression of the wind elemental monster was stunned. This request was not derived from selfish desires, which meant that he could not be corrupted through this ceremony. Such a loss-making deal was not cost-effective, and he seemed a little hesitant.
——Reading thoughts.
Xiao En seemed to have guessed what He was thinking, and said calmly: "Just think of it as me trying to win people's hearts."
"I command you! Do it now!"
As the laws of truth gathered, Xiao En's eyes revealed a hint of threat.
This demigod had an awkward expression on his face. He could not disobey the order, but he was very resistant in his heart. Finally, he entered the ceremony and cast a prayer to upgrade his spell.
The great wizards of the star realm basically have stable partners, a fixed wind elemental giant, who are used to cast wishes. Xiao En has just entered the legendary realm and has not yet completely completed the path of destiny, so this wind elemental monster must be used first, and he can consider replacing it when he encounters a normal wind elemental giant in the future.
Enslaving a demigod is a dangerous thing in itself.
Prayer is a required course for legendary wizards, because it can burn the power of the soul, strengthen one's own internal attributes, and ultimately achieve all attributes +5.
The soul power that Xiao En obtained in the battlefield of the Kingdom of God will need to be transformed into his own internal attributes in the future.
——Prayer (Miracle) [Legendary Spell]!
Strictly speaking, the wind giant monster did not perform a true prayer, because He also activated a trace of the authority of the demigod and performed a large-scale miracle. The prayer is a spell, while the miracle is close to prayer. With the flow of a trace of elemental power, a strong wind suddenly blew in the sky, followed by a continuous drizzle. The healing holy spring of the three fairy sisters in the lake was sucked away by a tornado, and turned into countless sweet rains that fell on the land of the demiplane.
Within the range of the entire ritual, countless mortals who survived the catastrophe looked up in surprise. They felt a trace of life energy, and the diseases in their bodies were being dispelled. Rotten wounds were gradually healing. Even those who were close to death and about to turn into zombies opened their eyes with a blank expression and stood up.
"This is a miracle!"
"Praise Holy Terra! Praise the Archbishop!"
The Mechanical Priests' exclamations were heard from the crowd. Led by them, the mortals who survived the catastrophe cried for joy. Countless people wept bitterly. While praising Holy Terra loudly, a mark of faith was also engraved deep in their hearts.
This legendary spell-level prayer (miracle spell) can at least gain tens of thousands of believers for the Holy Terra Church.
After the almost miraculous rain from heaven ended, Xiao En sealed the Pot of Greed in his hand.
This artifact is dangerous!
He can use its power, but he must not indulge in it, and he must not even let that wind elemental monster catch the slightest loophole of desire.
——Divine Artifact (Sealed Object): Pot of Greed.
——Origin: A powerful seal left over from the Dark Ages. An ancient demigod once defeated a twisted wind elemental demigod, but because he could not completely kill him, he could only seal him up. Over the past hundreds of years, this artifact has appeared many times, and each time it appeared, it ended up devouring its owner.
——Danger level: Extremely dangerous. Highly polluted.
——Sealed Object Ability [Infinite Wishing]: This ancient artifact seals a Sultan of the Wind Elemental Giant. He possesses the status of an elemental demigod and can cast a 9th-level wishing spell at will, and can satisfy most of the user's desires.
——Taboo: Once the power of the Pot of Greed is overused, the user's own desires will gradually magnify, and eventually the user will be dominated by this artifact, which will devour the user's life, body, soul, etc.
The Pot of Greed has only one constant ability, and that is the 9th-level wish spell.
It is Aladdin’s lamp of infinite wishes, and it can satisfy almost all of your needs before you are completely devoured.
To be honest, this thing was a little hot for Xiao En to handle.
Because he also didn't know what the mechanism of the Pot of Greed was that polluted the user, and whether there were any traps in the rules of making wishes. He had no clue at the moment, so he didn't dare to use it casually. In the future, he would use the domain of the Devil to see if he could find any loopholes in the wishing mechanism.
After all, the devil is naturally good at finding loopholes in the rules.
If he could use a devil's contract to enslave the wind demigod in front of him, he might not need to steal Dagon and could master the law and authority of the devil's domain. But it was very difficult to achieve this, and he had to deceive the wind demigod in front of him.
About 100,000 people from the ring city entered Xiao En's demiplane. In fact, his demiplane could not accommodate so many people, so he had to find another way to accommodate them.
The whisper of Sealed Artifact No. 1 - Mechanical Brain sounded: "With the current area of the demiplane, it can accommodate a maximum of residents."
"You'll have to find another way to accommodate the others."
"I suggest that those mortals who are inspired by the Holy Church of Terra should be given priority."
"First, select qualified people from among them and train them to become extraordinary people. This way, your first batch of people will be formed."
In the plan of Seal No. 1, these new extraordinary people are not used for fighting, but for work.
They are potential workers.
The weird country is not suitable for ordinary people to survive, but the extraordinary can adapt. Xiao En can use the will of Terra to perform the ritual of asking nature and directly survey the resources and minerals of the entire planet. In other words, they can serve as the first batch of workers and provide Xiao En with a steady stream of resources, and these resources can in turn strengthen the demiplane and rebuild the destroyed ring city.
This is a virtuous cycle.
When resources have accumulated to a certain level and the family background is strong enough, Xiao En can start universal education, indirectly expand the power of the "knowledge" field, and allow more people to be promoted to become extraordinary people. If necessary, he can also take the initiative to recover lost ground.
“It’s a bit like the snowball in the game.”
Xiao En pondered for a moment and said to himself, "As long as the early accumulation is completed, the speed of the snowball will become faster and faster, and eventually I may have tens of thousands of extraordinary people under my command."
Sealed Artifact No. 1 - Mechanical Brain said in a deep voice: "The Master once said so."
"Never underestimate the power of mortals!... They just lack an opportunity to prove themselves and change their fate!..."
The plan for Seal No. 1 means that Sean must provide these people with the first batch of extraordinary relics for promotion.
As long as some of this group of people grow up, they can continuously provide more relics of promotion to their successors. Xiao En has the ability to correct those who are out of control. Even if an accident occurs, he can correct it in time, and there will be no large-scale out-of-control and rampage of extraordinary people.
But if he did this, Xiao En would face a lot of pressure.
He had to destroy an old clan to collect such a large number of promotion relics. Fortunately, if he was just a worker, the extraordinary relics of the warrior path were enough. Xiao En's family could not afford to support many spellcasters. These people should be mainly warriors, rangers, and thieves.
"How is the analysis progress of the talent attribute template?" Xiao En asked in a deep voice.
The deep voice of Seal No. 1 sounded: "It's almost done."
"It is difficult to analyze the inner talent attributes, but it is easy to detect the talent attributes of strength, agility, and physique. It can fully meet the promotion requirements of the warrior path."
To advance through the warrior path, one must have sufficient strength and physique, otherwise one will not be able to survive the process of integrating the extraordinary relics.
Ordinary people must train to the level of an athlete in order to meet the basic standards for promotion to a fighter.
If we screen these people, we will always find some with extraordinary talents.
