Chapter 468 Communication Solution
“That’s not something worth remembering.”
Henges said.
However, Lunami next to her obviously didn't care and just went on to tell the story.
"It was probably the second month of the demon invasion, ever since the royal idiots detonated the space and opened the teleportation rift to the abyss.
Our defenses began to fail. After all, the demons came from the inside, so who would build a defense inside? "
“The crisis came too suddenly, and it took us a few days to maintain a better defense. However, the demons were too powerful, and we didn’t have a good place to defend.
The Third Legion, the City Guards, some cult guards of the Holy Machine Church, and some scattered strong men.
We followed the rear side and collected various victims. Finally, we had no choice but to enter the Green Forest Mountains.
The so-called Green Forest Mountains was the former name of the Ghost Mountains beneath their feet.
But it is obvious that there is no such thing as a green forest here anymore.
Naturally, this name is no longer suitable.
"The demons were chasing us closely. We fought and fled all the way, and finally we took more refugees with us to defend here and build a defensive facility."
This is the area where they are now.
This place should have been a mine in the past, with a variety of facilities. Coupled with the surrounding cave walls, it is easier to defend against various highly mobile demons.
"We were just planning to defend here briefly, treat the wounded, prepare some supplies and then leave... But things didn't go as planned."
Hearing this, Alka nodded.
In that situation, it was not just them who thought of running into the mountains. There must have been many people who had the same idea.
In this situation, it is human instinct to form a group.
“However, more and more soldiers were escorting more refugees, and there were so many that it was difficult to leave.
The goal is too big and too broad, and it attracts more demons. "
“At first, with the help of the Cloud Sage, it wasn’t that difficult for us to resist the demons.
But as the defenses of various areas continued to collapse, coupled with the reputation of the Sage of Cloud, the number of refugees gathered here has reached an exaggerated level.
Refugees from cities around the mountains have all flocked here, and we can no longer flee."
"I believe you all know what happened next. The more refugees there are, the more demons there are. Without complete logistics, we will naturally become more and more unable to resist.
In the end, we could only let as many civilians as possible escape, and we resisted until the last moment."
After she finished speaking, she pointed at herself.
“As for the current situation, it happened after Sage Cloud died.
He was very strong, and he killed many demons by himself until the last time. But he was just one person.
After his death, the scepter-level treasure called the Cloud Staff was taken by us, but we don’t have the right person to master it.
But we can’t leave, we are surrounded.”
“In this case, I used the treasure, the Cloud Staff, to activate a powerful ritual, a ritual I had prepared long ago.
Let the souls of all the dead soldiers and civilians emerge from their bodies and start dealing with those demons.
Let those damned demons not think of dying so easily and returning to the abyss."
While doing this, it was actually to continue to resist the demons and allow more civilians who had not escaped far to escape. Otherwise, how could the speed of those civilians match the attack of these demons?
Her narration was very simple, and she only described a relatively general process.
But only they themselves can know the mental journey and experiences involved.
Xia Daiti looked at the surrounding environment and said, "So you succeeded in the end?"
“It succeeded, but it also failed.”
“Many demons have indeed been killed or wounded, and their souls have been dragged here. Other demons are unwilling to come to this area again.
However, although I have studied the undead and have some understanding of demons, I lack reverence for the breath of the abyss.
Those civilians, those once brave soldiers, turned into evil spirits, becoming beings more bloody and brutal than demons. They tried to kill all living things. "
At this point, Lunami sighed.
Nothing has only good sides, especially behavior like this.
“Okay, I’ve satisfied your curiosity, and it’s time for you to turn around and leave here.
You are a saint of the Virgin Mary, you should know clearly the best choice now. "
After saying that, Lunami stood up, and Engels also turned over and rode on the ghost's warhorse. Lunami floated on the back of the warhorse, and the two of them rode on the warhorse and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Looking at the two disappearing ghosts, Xiadaiti turned around and looked at Alka.
"What are you going to do now? Are you going to leave?"
Alka propped up his head and said, "I need to think about it."
After saying that, he looked at everyone and said, "Don't worry, I won't make a rash decision, and I won't really ignore anything."
Several people nodded.
Alka sat there, with the previous map in his hand, looking at the orange light on it.
【Cloud Staff】
[Difficulty: Soul Remover (Five Stages)]
【Popularity: 11.2w】
[Treasure information: The treasure of the Cloud Sage. In the ancient Saralan Empire, the Cloud Sage was known as the protector of the common people.
They hold a scepter surrounded by clouds, and are surrounded by white clouds like the sky. They walk throughout the empire, providing help to all the people of the empire.
The last Cloud Sage died in the battle with demons when the empire was destroyed.
The area where the scepter is located is filled with fallen souls who are willing to sacrifice their own souls to protect this last scepter.
Obtaining treasures can bring unbearable consequences and enemies that should not be faced, but nothing is absolute.
If you want to avoid such consequences, you have to solve the problems that come with obtaining the treasure. 】(Perfect)
Alka looked at the latest information about the treasure and realized that nothing is absolute.
Of course we know this, but the question is what method can be used to meet the needs of all parties?
To get this treasure without causing serious consequences, Alka needs to do three things.
1. Clean up the demon souls. The demon souls that died in this area are also dragged to this area. Taking the treasure will return the demon souls to the abyss.
This is the easiest problem to solve for him now. His dream kingdom is gradually connecting to this area. He can directly drag it into the dream and throw it into the furnace.
Ensuring that the souls of these demons disappear completely can make more contributions to the world.
2. Protect those souls that still have their own will and have not been invaded by the breath of the abyss.
The first thing Alka thought of was the ghost dolls, but the problem was that Alka didn't understand the status of these ghosts.
It is obviously not a quick thing to be infected by the breath of the abyss and turn into an evil spirit, but a gradual process.
This method may work, or it may not. We will know after we understand it more deeply.
Of course, there are many possibilities that they want to be freed. But Alka has no intention of making decisions for others without authorization.
3. Prevent the countless evil spirits in Ghost Mountain from going out to harm others .
This is the most difficult one to complete, because these evil spirits are not ordinary evil spirits. Instead, they are created through rituals, the infiltration of the abyss, and treasures as core beacons.
They will not disappear completely just because they are killed, but will emerge again from unknown places.
Perhaps if they took away the treasure and released the restraints, they could really be killed. But by that time, they would have already rushed out of Ghost Mountain.
For an orange treasure, countless war spirits were released to wreak havoc across the scars of the world.
This is totally not worth it and may even cause problems on the front line and transportation routes in the rear.
No one can afford such a price.
Not to mention, neither Alka nor Xiadaiti could do such a thing.
After all, this treasure is not essential.
Through the communication with the two ghosts just now, Alka could clearly know that they were definitely not the first treasure hunting team to come here.
Previous treasure hunting teams had never done such a thing, possibly because they were no match for the evil spirits.
The second possibility is that he possesses the most basic common sense and is not dazzled by the scepter-level treasure.
After all, one has already reached the fifth stage of strength, so there is no room for idiots.
After clearing his mind, Alka couldn't help but ponder.
"What are you thinking about? If it doesn't work, we can just turn around and leave." Lucilia jumped onto Alka's thighs at some point, sat against his waist and said.
Alka stretched out his hand and laid on her, letting her hold him.
"But these problems have to be solved, don't they? The trapped demon souls must be destroyed, and those evil spirits wandering the mountains, although pitiful, still need to be dealt with.
As for those ghosts who still have wisdom, they shouldn't stay here and wait for a future filled with despair. Isn't this the fate they deserve?"
"Yes, you are right. We should help them if possible. So what do you think?"
"The demon souls are easy to deal with, but what is the current state of the ritual they are holding? What is the connection between these evil spirits, this area, and this treasure?
If I don’t understand that, I can’t think straight.”
Lucelia fell silent when she heard Alka's question.
After a long while, she said, "I know. I know the type of ceremony . I also have a general idea of what the ceremony is like now and how they are connected to each other."
Hearing this, Alka looked down at her.
"You know?"
"Of course I know. I am very knowledgeable."
Hearing this, Alka nodded.
"Then tell me about it."
Lucelia nodded and told him what she knew.
"It was obviously not something she could do alone to hold such an exaggerated ceremony, and the various materials and advance preparations were not something they could accomplish at that time.
That is why they use a scepter-level treasure as the core of the ritual. Only things of this level can bear most of the consumption. And avoid the use of perfect preparation and materials. "
"Remember the Dark Realm?" Lucilia suddenly said.
Hearing this, Alka nodded.
Of course he still remembered.
“That sea area was also caused by the detonation of a treasure. Now it seems that it was also caused by a ritual.
We know that the treasure destroyed its divinity, and its essence just returned to the world. It was just that through such a ritual, its true carrier and power were destroyed, allowing the treasure to burst out energy at once.
That is also a ritual, and there is no essential difference from the ritual in the area where we are now.
The only difference is that one is a destructive one-time ritual that originates from a core explosion.
What we are in now is a long-lasting ritual that has been maintained with the treasure itself as the core."
Hearing Lucelia's words, Alka nodded from time to time. He could understand some of them, but he could only hear the general idea of others, and at most he could understand what Lucelia wanted to say.
As Lucelia continued to speak, Alka began to clear his thoughts in his mind and come up with a possible feasible plan.
…
that's all.
Alka and his companions stayed in the camp for two full days and nights.
Xiadaiti had already completed the map of this area.
They mainly stay here to communicate with each other and explore the possibility of solving these problems.
They have so many treasures that they can always think of enough solutions, they just need to take it step by step.
Sitting in the stone house.
Alka said: "Let's build a solution to the whole problem with the Heart of Vastva as the core."
All the Vastvas in the interior space of Vastva's Heart had moved out when Alka left.
In other words, it is now completely empty, and this treasure is in its most original state.
It also allows Alka to truly start using and utilizing the most important functions of this treasure.
A small world controlled by him.
After hearing Alka's words, Xiadaiti and others looked at him and asked, "Do you have an idea for a solution?"
Alka nodded, "I'm going to just dig this area out and throw it in here."
A crystal appeared in Alka's hand, which was the Heart of Vasteva.
"Dig it up? The entire mountain range?" Xia Daiti asked with a frown.
After all, although the evil spirits gathered the most here, their range of action was almost all over the mountain range. Their figures could be seen everywhere in the range.
It is indeed a bit exaggerated for Alka to want to throw the entire mountain range into the Heart of Vastva with his current strength.
Hearing this, Alka shook his head and said, "Of course it's impossible, it's not that exaggerated.
What I am going to dig up is just this ruined mine, which is also where the war was most intense. Isn't the core of the ceremony held through the treasure here?"
Alka said, looking at Lucelia.
Lucilia nodded: "Yes, I watched the ceremony these days and it is in this area and has not expanded outward."
Alka starts talking about his idea and the whole process.
"Step 1. We first need to throw this area and the evil spirits into the Heart of Vastvar. Anyway, it's empty now.
This will cut off the abyss breath and prevent it from continuing to infiltrate, and we only need to clear the abyss breath from the area where it is thrown in.
After we are done, we will take the treasure."
Alka simply explained his ideas and process, which sounded very simple.
"Wait, how can we throw all the evil spirits in at once? How can we make them obey obediently?
How can we clear away the remaining abyssal aura?"
Xia Daiti asked directly about the two most fatal problems in this process.
"Yes, that's why I laid out the whole process. We have to do these two things first. Let's think about it together."
"We can ask Lunami and the others for help. I believe they are willing to provide some help. After all, our efforts are what they need, right?
We will ask them to cooperate after our ideas are feasible. They will definitely not refuse at that time."
"...Okay, let's get started."
Everyone took action immediately.
First, Alka will go find Lunami and others to learn some information from them and get some help on whether it is feasible.
Lucelia and the others will stay in the camp and begin to study the evil spirits to see if there is any way to attract them.
Lucelia seemed to have some confidence and ideas about this.
Yanjiao , who had been following them, just sat in the camp. He couldn't help at all and could only watch Alka and the others busy themselves.
If all else fails, they can leave and return to the town of Return, asking Vastwa's researchers and Jason for help.
Even go to the front lines, to areas such as anti-magic fortresses to seek help.
There are countless powerful people gathered there, there will always be someone who can find a way.
Through the brand new map in hand.
Alka walked past these evil spirits like a phantom, but did not attract their attention at all. He came to a collapsed cave.
From some surrounding places and ruins, it can be seen that this was once a mine.
And this is the entrance to a mine.
There were densely packed corpses all around, and one could even see armor and weapons on some of the corpses that had not been completely corroded.
Passing by the corpses, Alka arrived at the entrance of the mine.
A soul that seemed to have intelligence emerged from underground.
The appearance of a soul, dressed as a soldier wearing armor and holding a weapon.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
