Cthulhu Corrosion: Another World Rescue Plan

"Then you will be a member of the Holy City from now on?" Domeng asked.

Ai Xu nodded, raised his hand and touched the back of his neck uncomfortably: "Probably, there are many rules of the Church of Light, and I still haven't understood them. My parents and your uncle are working with the traveling group sent by the church. Discuss the way forward for the autonomous federation."

"Will the Autonomous Federation belong to the Church of Light?" Ella asked.

"My parents considered this. They sent me to the church and ran for the Son of God. This was the choice they made for this consideration. Now that I have been selected as the Son of God, the Autonomous Federation can take this opportunity to belong to the Son of God. Church, get more resources and benefits...

However, your uncle seems to disagree. This seems to involve the mining of Oliha steel... Oliha steel is the most proud commodity of the Autonomous Federation, but the Church of Light also needs this ore very much. The two sides appear to be at an impasse in this regard.

If the final result of the negotiations cannot be reached, perhaps our town will leave the Autonomous Federation and join the Church of Light. "

"It feels like your parents are going to sell you." Domon complained mercilessly.

Ai Xu smiled bitterly: "I just hope they can sell me for a good price."

Domeng turned around and stared at Ai Xu quietly for a while: "...What does the Son of God do?"

"I don't know." Ai Xu said sincerely, "According to the wishes of the divine envoys in the sect, maybe it is to become the spokesperson of the gods, give orders and do good deeds? On the bright side, maybe go to the holy city to enjoy the blessings?"

"... Or think about the worst, maybe you will become a sacrifice to the gods?" Domeng complained, "I don't know why, but I didn't like the Church of Light from the day they appeared."

"Why?" Ella looked confused. "The bishops and nuns are very good people. They can help the poor and treat injuries and illnesses, not to mention those terrible pollutions. Only they can treat them."

"I don't know," Domon shrugged, "I just have a weird feeling.

Maybe it’s because I don’t believe there are good people in the world who are willing to give without expecting anything in return…

By the way, if you really just give without asking for anything in return, where will the funds of the Light Church come from? They have so many people to feed, and they organize alms from time to time to help the poor? … Even the wealthy businessmen’s families don’t have this kind of surplus food. "

"Probably...it relies on donations from believers?" Ai Xu answered uncertainly.

They each fell into deep thought and walked away for a while.

"I don't understand." Domon suddenly asked again, "Why is everyone afraid of that kind of pollution?"

"Because it's scary!" Ella replied without knowing why. "It has no rules, no reasons, and no standards. It just appears out of nowhere! Strange parts grow on everyone's bodies, and their thoughts become uncontrollable... …

Some people are affected, while others are not. The more afraid you are, the more it will find you! It is said that the more magic is used, the more severe the impact of pollution will be. Now no one dares to use magic! "

"But my magic is not affected." Domeng shrugged again, and he conjured up a hand-held silver dressing mirror - it was the mirror that the old Domeng gave to Mo Yu to activate the spell - and stuffed it into it. In Ella's arms, he said disapprovingly, "Isn't it enough not to be afraid, not to think, not to care? Magic and knowledge are just useful tools. As long as the user is not distracted, they will not be affected. Then Why should we be afraid of tools and power?”

Ella held the mirror and didn't know what kind of expression to put on for a moment. She was quite dumbfounded: "Ah ah ah, I don't know. Anyway, some people are very resistant! Now in the Autonomous Federation, people can do anything unscrupulously. The only one left who uses magic is Duo Meng, right?

Many people will be scared even if they see others using magic!

Wait, is this what old people always say, ‘stubborn fools don’t catch colds’? "

"Hey!" "Pfft." Domeng's protest and Ai Xu's chuckle sounded at the same time.

"Then again, this mirror is so beautiful, and Domeng's magic is as reliable as ever." Ella lowered her head and looked at the detailed carvings of the mirror in her hand, "Can I keep this mirror?"

"Of course, I was... changed for you." Domeng turned his head away in embarrassment, but couldn't help but look at Ella's smile from the corner of his eye.

Ella admired the carvings on the mirror, Domeng peeked at Ella, Ai Xu looked at the two of them calmly, Mo Yu... Mo Yu watched everything silently.

"Will Domeng continue to stay in the city in the future?" Ai Xu suddenly asked as if to break the sticky pink aura.

"I think I might go to the east." When it came to business, Domeng also calmed down his thoughts, raised his head, and looked to the east: "I want to go to the Magic Federation to learn more magic knowledge. I heard that people over there go to the east every day. They are all dealing with magic, so I think they may not be afraid of contamination.”

"Indeed, you are a magic genius, and you should explore a wider world." Ai Xu murmured, and he looked at Ella again, "What about Ella?"

"Ah?" Ella put away the mirror and said blankly: "Of course I stay in the city, where else can I go?"

Ai Xu smiled at her and said nothing more.

The three of them continued walking out of the city, with Domon leading the way, Aila being protected by two boys in the middle, and Ai Xu walking at the end. Mo Yu, on the other hand, followed quietly behind a few people.

Suddenly, Mo Yu saw something move on the back of Ai Xu's neck, hidden by the collar.

He realized something and immediately took a few steps forward to look carefully.

A freshly made holy tattoo was imprinted on the back of Ai Xu's neck. The skin there was even a little red, swollen and inflamed. It looked like it had been tattooed not long ago. Probably because of the pain, he would raise his hand from time to time and fiddle with the collar that touched the wound.

Ai Xu was wearing a high-collared white robe and kept walking behind Domon and Aila, so the other two people didn't notice this.

Mo Yu suddenly had a bad premonition - although he knew before coming here that this would not be a good memory, but now it seemed that it might be worse than he had expected.

"Where are they going?" Mo Yu couldn't help but ask into the void.

[Oliha Steel Mine Cave. 】The old man's answer came from the void.

--really.

"Force and believers...when they cause pollution and come up with a cure, believers will gather towards the church." Mo Yu said, "But the Church of Light still needs a lot of force. Force requires strong people and high-end people." Equipment, and Oliha Steel, is the goal of the Church of Light.”

【Exactly so. 】
