New Gods of North America

Gray crystal

Wayne just got home.

Lina's head popped out of the kitchen:

"How's it going? Did the method you suggested to increase the value of the gold nuggets work?"

Wayne looked at him with disdain.

He first raised four fingers and made a "four" to Lina, and then made a "five".

The price of $4,500 has been "confirmed" by the mayor.

As for the total amount of US$5,000, we have to wait for the mayor to "fight" for it and get it.

“Yohoo! Ah——”

Lina raised her hands at the kitchen door, and then she knocked on the door frame with the back of one of her hands.

Then she quickly retracted her hand, turned her head and glared at the door frame, and snorted.

He retreated back into the kitchen.

Wayne had discussed this with Inissa and Lina before.

He said that if everyone was not in a hurry to exchange the gold nuggets for US dollars, then he could try to make the gold nuggets appreciate in value again.

But if you are in a hurry to cash it in,

Then Wayne can only pay the amount in proportion from the $4,200 he has confirmed receiving.

It seems that Inesha is not in a hurry to get the cash immediately.

Lina decisively chose the plan that would give her more money.

So Wayne took away all the gold nuggets first.

Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission.

In fact, when Wayne was independently conceiving the idea of "starting the gold rush early\

,"Lina also gave an effective auxiliary information beside.

——Because she really asked the "wise sage" where there were unowned gold mines in the territory of the American Federation.

Lina pointed to the west at that time, "The sage pointed out before that there is a gold mine in that direction."

Wayne was convinced.

Lina, you dare to ask Him about the existence of gods or evil gods like Him? !

I am not afraid that people may not reply after reading it.

Is there even a curse?

Then Wayne was also very curious, "Why don't you continue asking? Even if He only responds once a month, you can ask more times and confirm a few directions. Maybe you can really find it?"

Speaking of this,

Lina was a little unhappy:

"I asked! But if you want the sage to respond, the question must be brief.

"I asked where there were unowned gold mines, and the sage pointed me to many directions at once. They were densely packed everywhere, but I knew that the densest was to the southwest.

"I asked where the largest gold mine was nearby, and one time a sage directed me to the bank's vault. How do I dig there?"

Hmm...

This "wise man" you know,

It seems very reliable, but at the same time very unreliable...

But no matter what,

Anyway, the treasure is probably there, and those who want to possess it,

Then go find it.

…

Wayne followed Lina into the kitchen.

Want to see what she's been up to.

Previously, everyone had harvested three extraordinary materials in that small village:

A small gray crystal that was not particularly hard, a small piece of gray bone with bloodshot eyes, and a small piece of half-rotten meat that twitched from time to time.

Wayne chose the gray crystals he picked up from the butcher's meat.

Lina chose the piece of half-rotten flesh that fell from the zombie and occasionally beat like a heart.

In the end, Inissa took the gray bone with bright red blood veins.

At this time, Peter was sucking the piece of meat on the plate on the dining table.

Lina held a big spoon.

He was stirring the soup pot in front of the stove, adding something in from time to time, as if he was checking the heat.

A small cloud of gray steam rose from the top of the soup pot, sometimes thick and sometimes thin.

It seemed as if the silhouettes of countless resentful souls flashed in the steam from time to time, exuding an ominous aura.

Wayne looked into the pot.

There was a smell and color inside that made it impossible to think about it.

"What are you doing?" Wayne asked.

Inissa's voice came from behind Wayne:

"I am using the bone from before to make a potion. Based on the decaying nature of 'death', it can be used to weaken the shackles that the Holy Spirit Church has placed on me.

"Moreover, the two fields of 'Death' and 'Holiness' are opposite to each other. Depending on how they are used and the specific circumstances, they can either be nutrients that nourish each other or forces that cancel each other out. Using them to weaken the restraints of the Holy Spirit Church is more effective than targeting other fields."

I see.

But speaking of this,

Wayne thought about the undigested "fluid" in his "stomach":

“Those spiritual powers of the ‘dark’ realm that I absorbed from Tecumseh’s people before, although I feel that their influence is not that great now, they are still digested very slowly, and I haven’t digested much of them yet.

"How can I digest them as quickly as possible?"

Inesa almost thought:

“The source of that power should be the evil spirit that was fed in the cave before, and it has also been specialized and influenced by the residual thoughts of the higher-level evil spirit.

"Since you can 'absorb' them without any signs of mutation or loss of control, it means that the source of your spiritual power is high enough and will not be affected by the remaining thoughts. The reason why you are 'absorbing' slowly and stagnantly is because your current rank is not high enough.

"So you can try to drink more holy water for a while. Although this will offset some of their spiritual power, it should also be absorbed faster."

Holy water is really useful...

I didn't expect that it can be used as a seasoning when eating meat, and can also aid digestion at other times.

No wonder at the beginning,

Inesa also said something like "Just drink more holy water and you'll be fine."

Wayne draws inferences from one example.

By the way, I thought of the gray crystal I got:

"Then if I can't digest the crystal I was given after 'eating' it, can I just drink more holy water to solve the problem?"

Inesa looked at Wayne's appearance.

After a moment's pause:

"...If it's not a 'holy' area, it's better to drink less holy water.

"The characteristic of the power of the 'holy' realm is 'repulsion'. After all, the body's internal defense is weaker than the skin. Even if it is not the area targeted by it, if you drink it day after day, you should be careful that your body will be worn out by it one day."

Eating too much spicy food will hurt your stomach.

I understand if you don’t maintain your health.

Wayne brought the gray crystal back to the room and drank a mouthful of holy water to help digest the "fluid" in his "stomach".

Then open your "eyes" and begin to absorb the spiritual power in the crystals.

Although I didn't say it directly,

But Wayne still seemed to taste a slight saltiness.

However, the pig-headed butcher seemed to be quite heavy. From the gray crystals that separated from his body,

The actual spiritual power it contains is also average.

More than the "five dogs" of the fluttering moth, but not as many as the "ten dogs" of the mutant King Kong.

It can probably be considered a "seven dog\

,"No more.

So the blue bar continued to rise slightly, and it was generally flat.
