My Liver Experience in the World of Cthulhu
Chapter 543: Attacked
After leaving the town of Lorent, it only took Crown a few minutes to return to Moya Manor.
Eliza came back from the Holy Light Cathedral and happened to see cascading golden clouds landing on the castle.
She entered the castle and found her husband in the study, and asked with concern:
"Where have you been? Is everything going well?"
"I went to Lorent Town and killed an evil god."
Crown's words were very relaxed, as if he just went for a walk.
"So quickly?"
Eliza raised her eyebrows and thought to herself: 'When did the evil god become so easy to deal with? ’
Whether it is a human god or an evil god, as a creature at the golden level of the Stigmata, it must possess the power of a law.
They form a unique domain power over the laws they control and can avoid a lot of harm.
Crown raised a finger and explained with a smile:
"It's very simple, the crushing of power levels.
The suppression of the seventh level by the eighth level is greater than you think. Unless the enemy can sense the threat in advance or has an effective means of escape, he will definitely not be able to escape my hunting.
The evil god can use the law of pollution to form his own domain, and has various negative effects such as bewitchment, intimidation, evil penetration, etc., but all of these are of no use to me. "
His soul has been blessed by multiple skills and is immune to spiritual spells below the eighth level. There is no need to worry about the pollution law affecting his combat effectiveness.
Crown began to make calculations. There were currently three evil gods occupying Faruk's kingdom. Judging from today's harvest, even killing them all would not be able to transform his golden light spell.
You must go to the outside world to hunt evil gods, otherwise it will take a long time to upgrade your skills.
The hourglass of time has warned him that he cannot wait slowly for the Golden Light Spell to advance and must speed up the pace.
After thinking for a moment, Kroun spoke again:
"Eliza, how much has our relationship with the other two churches eased recently?"
"Since we resumed normal trading, the relationship with each other has been close to before.
Everyone shares intelligence and prepares for world integration. "
Crown touched the short beard on his chin and said with a smile:
"That's good. You submit official letters to the two churches and say that I am willing to help them fight against the evil god who has reappeared in the world, as long as they can provide accurate intelligence."
For him, all he needs to destroy the evil god is coordinates.
Unless the evil god has special abilities, as long as he appears on his hunting list, it will inevitably turn into proficiency to help him practice.
"Okay, I will write a letter in person tomorrow, I believe the other two churches will readily agree.
After you defeated the evil gods entrenched in the Kingdom of Namibia and the Kingdom of Talon, the territory they occupied increased significantly. "
Eliza nodded slightly, feeling ashamed in the face of her husband's noble godhead.
Not wanting anything in return is just to allow the world to accumulate more power to fight against the dark ending, which is something many gods cannot do.
Because he has done so many things, believers in other churches will not change their beliefs unless the other two gods fall and there is only one god left in the world.
She was suddenly frightened by her own thoughts. She was once a devout believer in the Moon God, but now she had thoughts of the Moon God's fall.
Lordaeron is located in the northwest corner of Faruk Kingdom, on a plateau.
More than 20 kilometers to the west of the city is a cliff.
Below the cliff is the Sea of Mist. Before the arrival of the red moon, this sea is covered with dense fog all year round. It is only navigable in the summer months every year.
Since the gray fog came, the Sea of Mist has completely become a land of fog. The combination of gray fog and the original thick fog has turned this sea area into a place without light.
In the fog, many marine creatures and seabirds undergo irreversible mutations, becoming strange and bloodthirsty.
Today, a pod of huge whales floats, beached on the edge of a cliff.
The part of the whale above the sea has become a pile of red bones. If someone can look closely, they will find that it is densely covered with red flying insects the size of cicadas.
The backs of these flying insects have patterns that resemble distorted human faces, and there is an inexplicable evil meaning lingering on them.
After the whale stranded, about a thousand flying insects took off and climbed up the cliff. The "buzzing" sound was blurred into a few words.
The transliteration is probably "Bot Zuka Mog", and the voice has an ominous atmosphere.
Not long after, the flying insects climbed to the plateau.
A fist-sized flying insect was the leader of this group of flying insects. Its scarlet eyes were flashing, and the two rows of mouthpart-like organs on its abdomen seemed to be chewing something.
After a while, it circled in the air several times, and its body became as bright as charcoal fire.
Then it flew away in one direction, with the insect swarm following closely behind.
At this time, a group of night watchmen were patrolling at the edge of the Moon Spiritual Light Array. They were riding a yak-like beast.
This is a unique animal in the Lordaeron region - a camel beast with thick hair and amazing endurance. It can run at a high speed for a long time.
Although autumn has just begun, there is already the chill of early winter outside the kingdom's northernmost city.
There are still a few stubborn leaves on the branches of the deciduous trees, and a thick layer of yellow leaves has accumulated under the trees. The yaks crunching over them are like stepping on thick winter snow.
There is only the sound of howling wind and the smell of everything dying.
If it weren't for the greenery dotted with coniferous forests nearby, this desolate and cold scene would drive people crazy.
"Guys, hurry up. After patrolling this circle, we can go back to the warm taverns of Lordaeron and get drunk."
Captain Mariles turned around and shouted that he had already put on a lambskin coat, and his team members even put on thick wolfskin coats.
If he were not a third-level transcendent, he would be the same as his subordinates.
"It's finally coming to an end. It won't be long before winter starts here. The days of patrolling in the future will be difficult."
Vice-captain Faranir complained. He kept rubbing his hands and occasionally putting his hands to his mouth to breathe.
Since he was tasked with writing records, he felt the cold wind penetrate into his bones as soon as he took off his warm gloves. The coldness began to spread from his hands, and both arms felt cold.
Lordaeron is the first city in the entire continent to enter the cold winter. For another month at most, it will still be late autumn in other places, and snowflakes will start to fall here, and the long winter will come.
At that time, everything here was cold and dead white, and all other colors were drowned in the wind and snow.
Mariles smiled and said:
"A few days ago, I heard good news. The Holy See has ordered Loch Modan City to speed up the production of a batch of flying creations that can replace us in patrolling.
If those craftsmen are fast enough, they might be able to equip the troops before the heavy snow falls.
I heard that the archbishop has submitted an application, hoping that our diocese can be the first to use these flying creations. "
With flying wonders, as long as someone learns to drive, there will be no need for so many patrol teams to patrol day and night.
If the reconnaissance team finds traces of monsters, the troops can then attack from the city.
In this way, the combat effectiveness is guaranteed without having to bear too much hardship from the wind and snow.
"I hope so."
Faranir muttered, he felt that the status of those from the Kingdom of Ribia was increasing day by day, and their status in the future might be higher than that of other dioceses, which was not a good thing.
While speaking, Mariles suddenly raised his hand:
"Stop!"
He heard something strange coming from the wind, and the source of the sound was the coniferous forest in the distance.
The team members restrained their camel beasts, held their breath, and prepared for battle.
Everyone has been battle-hardened for a long time and has become capable of dealing with various emergencies.
A few seconds later, a red cloud rose from the dense forest and rushed towards this side quickly.
Mariles instantly activated the armor's talisman array and ripped off his coat:
"Ready to fight!"
After saying that, he poured the source of life into the weapon, and golden fireworks burst out from the sharp blade.
Hongyun's speed was extremely fast, and he was in front of his eyes in a few blinks of an eye.
Mariles saw clearly that what was attacking turned out to be a group of ferocious monsters, and he secretly complained in his heart.
There is such a strange insect in such weather, there is no doubt that it is an evil thing, but these targets are too small, and when dealing with them, it is inevitable to focus on one and miss the other.
He himself was still confident of dealing with it, but it was hard to say for other members of the team.
The battle broke out suddenly. Unexpectedly, these strange insects were surprisingly easy to kill, stirring up the source of life. The sharp blades were like burning torches, and they could easily sweep down a large area.
Occasionally, insects fell on the body, but they could not bite through the armor, leaving only reddish-brown water marks.
After the battle began, the well-trained camel herd retreated to the rear, knelt down, and waited for their masters.
Several strange insects landed on the camel beast while no one was paying attention, and their sharp mouthparts like cicadas easily penetrated the camel beast's body.
The neurotoxin was injected when the mouthparts were submerged, so the camel beast couldn't feel any pain at all.
Then, the dark green liquid was injected into the body of the camel beast through its mouthparts.
After the monster finished all this, it flapped its wings and flew away.
The eyes of the selected camel beast quickly turned dark green, and after a few breaths, the strange color slowly dissipated.
The strange insects that attacked the patrol team were wiped out in large areas by the flaming weapons, and soon there were not even a single one left.
A weird low chirp sounded, and all the remaining red flying insects ran away in an instant.
"If anyone is injured, check on each other."
Mariles yelled that according to combat manual procedures, one must check for injuries after an encounter.
"I was bitten by a strange insect on the back of my neck. It's swollen so much now that it's starting to go numb!"
One after another, team members reported that they were all bitten.
Faranir's face turned slightly dark, and his head felt dizzy.
His left hand was also bitten. The wound seemed to be stung by a huge poisonous bee, and it swelled like a big tumor.
"The wound is poisonous, follow the combat manual for emergency treatment!"
He shouted, then took out a dagger, gritted his teeth hard, and cut the wound open, and slightly black blood flowed out.
Mariles quickly found a golden light potion and sprinkled it on the wound of his old teammate. Gray smoke immediately emitted, accompanied by bursts of rancid smell.
He unscrewed the cork of another golden elixir and handed it to the other person's mouth.
Faranir bit the mouth of the bottle gently, raised his head and swallowed the potion.
His wounds continued to bleed black blood, but as time passed, the blood color gradually returned to normal, and his somewhat dizzy consciousness regained consciousness.
"It hurts so much!"
Faranir smiled. He felt the sharp pain, which showed that the treatment was effective.
After more than ten minutes, the soldiers also treated the wounds with the help of their comrades.
Mariles questioned the injured people one by one and initially judged that these people were conscious and there were no other abnormalities.
He breathed a sigh of relief, filled several relatively intact insect corpses in rune crystal bottles, and shouted:
"Return to the city for a second round of inspection."
Everyone rode on camels and quickly returned to the city, entering the outpost set up by the army outside the city to handle emergency incidents.
Bishop Elvin gave everyone a detailed inspection and said:
"Fortunately, the strange insects that attacked you only contained some toxins, but they have been neutralized by the medicine.
According to regulations, you have to stay in the temporary isolation site next door for three days.
After three days, I will conduct another strict inspection. If everything is normal, you can return to your home in the city."
Mariles stood up straight: "Yes, sir."
Elvin nodded lightly and smiled:
"You will give me the strange insects you killed. I will do an autopsy to see what it is."
Shattrath City, Array Research Institute.
In the No. 1 Research Room, a large number of array masters are busy.
Some are quickly drawing array sketches, some are looking for information, and some are holding their hair and thinking hard.
Holkins Diat put down the feather pen in his hand and pressed his temples tiredly. At this moment, he only felt dizzy.
He opened the window, and the cold wind blew in, and he felt a little better.
A few days ago, the archbishop issued a new task.
Design a new type of magic array that can collect the spiritual power of extraordinary people and even ordinary people, forming a spell effect similar to a mental barrier to isolate external mental shocks.
The church requires that the magic array can be used in the entire city and can be designed as a small magic array.
As the head of the research institute, he had no choice but to select a group of excellent magic array masters to participate in the research.
This theory sounds good, but there are many difficulties that need to be solved in actual operation, and many unheard-of challenges have been encountered.
He glanced at the busy array masters, clapped his hands vigorously, and shouted:
"Everyone, put down your work for the time being, let's hold a brief meeting.
Everyone inform each other of the progress, so that I can make more appropriate arrangements."
He paused, quickly returned to his seat, and took out a notebook:
"Let's start with me. I am responsible for the array collecting mental power module.
Because there are similar array modules, I have drawn several sketches.
Next, we can enter the verification stage."
In fact, he was very unconfident in his work. The array modules he referred to were all closed spaces, but now he needed to collect energy in an open space, and the difficulty was unknown.
"I have completed the work in my hands and the sketch has been drawn."
"I haven't finished it yet, it will take at least three days."
"I have no idea here. Activating the mind barrier spell requires a specific model, but it requires adapting to arrays of different sizes. I don't know what to do."
Holkins wrote down everyone's progress one by one, and finally redistributed the tasks.
He closed the notebook, glanced at everyone, and said:
"Who has any questions?"
Seeing that no one answered, he nodded with satisfaction and forced a smile:
"Everyone, this mission is very important. If the research is successful, it can save the lives of many believers.
The church does not require us to succeed, but I think we must not let the church down.
Everyone knows that unprecedented changes are about to come, and any effort can add chips to everyone's survival."
