Chapter 168 168. Barbecued meat on the pile of salt, flowing with honey and milk...
In order to make the priest obediently hand over the imitation of the pile of salt, the angel also told Cloya a name——< br>
"Northampria."
He said this: "The world that was once destroyed by salt is called this name. Lucky friend, just tell him, and he will definitely be willing to cooperate with you "
"You have a lot of secrets." Croya stared at the angel.
Although the latter looked calm on the surface when facing his gaze, he was actually a little nervous inside.
Even a mage who practices "Poetry of the Original Origin", if he is not careful, his mood fluctuations will definitely be seen.
Fortunately, Croya did not continue to dig deeper into this issue, but raised another question -
"Is this snowstorm related to the mermaid tribe?"
< br>"I recently bought a new magic plant called Glaze Ice Soul Lotus. Are there really other worlds outside this world?"
The angel breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "Yes, this snowstorm is related to the mermaid tribe. This is an ancient ritual.
According to legend, when the snowstorm melts, the warmth behind the entire sea The hearts will converge towards the kingdom of mermaids, when the moon god will shine his light and send blessings to the new mermaids."
Cloya: "..."
"So this time. The huge snowstorm is just to allow the little mermaid to be born? Are the mermaids so crazy?”
He really couldn’t imagine such a huge scene, covering the entire northern territory of Norant Kingdom and the large sea area. , actually just for a birth gift.
Won’t the Mage Association and the Church care?
The angel sighed softly, briefly with pity: "Lucky friend, I should tell you... the mermaid tribe once had a very glorious past.
Even now they are withering because of their descendants. Being trapped in this sea area is far from something that the Mage Association and the Church in this world can easily stop.
You don’t need to feel guilty. Even if you don’t provide them with water essence, they will find another way. ...It might be even more troublesome then. "
Actually, I don't really feel guilty. God knows they would do such a thing.
Croya nodded slightly, signaling the angel to continue speaking.
"As for the other worlds you mentioned...of course they exist, and there are many, many. Even a mage who can travel in the star world will have difficulty finding the end of the world in his lifetime."
“There will also be some forces in the boundless world, and the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce where you buy items is one of them.”
“Their power spreads across countless worlds, and the power of the Holy Spring also passes through this This method has left traces in countless worlds, and has intersections with various races.
But they do not include the mermaid tribe. They have had some conflicts with the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce, so the rules of the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce are discord. Mermaid trade. "
After Angel said this, Croya finally confirmed what he had suspected for a long time - the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce is indeed a big force outside the plane, and mermaids cannot follow them. Buy hydrangea essence there.
Early at the beginning, he had doubted why the mermaids did not buy the water essence from the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce. Logically speaking, the forces of the mermaid clan should not be unaware of the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce.
The Shengquan Chamber of Commerce can collect items with clearly marked prices, so it should also be able to sell items with clearly marked prices.
It turns out there was a conflict between the two.
But to be able to get into trouble with businessmen like the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce... What have the mermaid tribe done?
Businessmen pursue profits, and they can ignore most things when they make money. It is hard to imagine that a chamber of commerce that spreads across many planes can have no contact with one race.
The angel saw the doubts and thoughts on Croak's face. In order to prevent Croak from asking more questions, he said:
"Lucky friend, I will put the pile of salt I will tell you how to use it and some information about Gluttonous Paradise... I will continue to fall into a deep sleep. Please use Gopher wood to help me sort out my magic power every seven days.
I will wake up when the wind and snow subside. Come and open the Ark Garden for you again.”
He gently approached Croya and left a warm kiss on the latter’s forehead.
As he was about to fly back, Croya suddenly asked him a question, asking him to stop.
"Are you a male or a female?"
To be honest, this question has troubled him for a long time. Although the book says that angels have no concept of gender, maybe this guy is special?
A rather obvious doubt flashed across the returning angel's face, and he replied very strangely: "My friend, you can choose whether I am a male or a female."
"If you want, I can use the power of the ring to create any form you need."
"No matter what body shape you have, you can ask for it. It doesn't matter if you are not a human. The body structure will definitely be the same as the real one.
Please don't be polite. In the old Ark, this was a service that even the gods liked. . ”
“…”
Now it was Croya’s turn to be unable to answer.
You, aren't you an angel? How can you say something like this so fresh and refined?
He could only watch the angel leave, shaking his head and laughing.
But I didn’t see the fleeting smile on the angel’s face after turning around.
That’s right, beings like mushrooms and angels probably don’t have the concept of “gender” at all, but he’s overthinking it.
Now, let’s trick the priest into coming.
He covered Kit's cage with a cloth, and then invited the priest through the myconids.
...
The priest had actually been waiting for Cloya to call him. After hearing Cloya inviting him to enter the castle, he immediately ran in impatiently.
This time he escaped as always.
When he saw Croya, he directly asked: "Master Croya, in your territory...are there any special church creations?"
His His tone was so excited that he didn't pay attention to the portal that was exuding a chaotic atmosphere not far away.
The mage looked at him and said casually: "Northumbria."
"!!!"
The priest's pupils instantly shook.
How do you know this name? Although he wanted to ask, he held back.
He took several deep breaths before he managed to calm down, and pressed his fingers on his chest and heart: "Dear mage, I am Kevin Ragak of the Knights of Salt.
< br>
Salute to you, the legend who knows the past. "
"I will provide you with whatever you need, and will contact my colleagues in the Knights when necessary. "
"Give me the Salt Pile, I will use it. "Kloya didn't say much, because he really didn't have much to say, and he really didn't know anything more.
If you say a few more words, the secret will be revealed.
" Yes. "
Father Kevin took out a small wooden box about ten centimeters long from his pocket and handed it to Croya respectfully.
The wooden box had a very special inscription on it. The coat of arms.
It seems to be a hand holding a strange Holy Grail, with slender fingers. It is obviously a female hand.
'Seal it according to the angelic method. , the fingertips gathered a little sacred magic, turning it into a liquid form, and slowly dripped on the coat of arms
The Holy Grail of the coat of arms was immediately filled with water.
Immediately afterwards, the wooden box opened silently.
Lying quietly inside was a white object about three centimeters long, very rough, like a wooden wedge, with very rough granular salt on the surface.
It looks like some crude alchemical creation.
This is the Pile of Salt.
Although it looks inconspicuous at all, if it penetrates into any object, it can quickly salt it. Unless it is high-level divine magic and legendary magic, there is no room for reversal.
And this is just the power of imitations.
The knowledge that the angel gave him described... If the Salt Pile is genuine, not even the gods can resist it even in the slightest.
It is the greatest masterpiece of the goddess of life, the ultimate alchemical creation that can transform all life and matter into the concept of "salt".
To be honest, this thing is definitely a trump card in your hand, but it's a pity that what Croya wants to do is a little strange.
I saw him stretching out his finger and tapping lightly on the salt pile.
The sacred power poured into the inside of the salt pile like a thread, and was quickly salted, turning into white salt crystals that fluttered down.
This is a method that the angel taught him, to absorb some of the power of the Salt Pile without losing the alchemical formula of the Salt Pile.
This method requires a high level of magic control, and it also needs the sacred magic power given by him. The only one who can combine these two points is probably Croya.
Cloya collected these salt crystals and held them in his hands to observe carefully - the crystals salted by the divine power have a pure taste.
Immediately afterwards, he picked up the salt and lightly sprinkled it on the pork chops on the side, just like spreading salt on a barbecue. The salt immediately blended into the pork chops after touching it. Their power quickly dissipated the magic of the gluttonous demon inside the pork chop grass.
Without the magic power of gluttony, this strange pork chop grass is actually edible, but Croya did not try it personally in order to prevent problems.
He took chili powder and other spices, sprinkled some directly on the pork chops, and then grilled it with a flame.
“Zizzizi!”
The pork chops began to release oil.
The grease dripped into the flames below, and a more powerful flame burst out, with red tongues of flame licking the pork chops and grass.
Soon, the meat steaks emitted an indescribable aroma. The aroma was really tempting, more tempting than any barbecue Croa had ever smelled.
“Here, try it.”
After baking it, Croa handed it to Father Kevin.
The latter licked his lips after a brief hesitation: "Thank you, great mage!"
He was indeed a little hungry.
Although there is something to eat in the Greedy Castle these days, it is just enough to fill up. Now that I smell this aroma, I really can’t help it.
After he took it, he took a bite, and the fresh juice splashed into his mouth. The meat was extremely tender, with just the right amount of chili powder as seasoning and the subtle divine power inside.
After one bite, he was intoxicated by the satisfying feeling of eating meat.
It’s so delicious that you can’t stop eating.
After just a few bites, he had eaten all but one root of the pork chop grass. When he wanted to bite it, the remaining roots ran away nimbly.
It ran to Croya's side and hid in Croya's shadow.
"Does it taste good?" Croya glanced at the rhizome and smiled slightly: "Using the sacred salt as a seasoning, do you feel any changes in your body?"
"Changes "Father Kevin felt it carefully and found that the power seemed to have penetrated into his body, and his strength and flesh became "clean".
Yes, it is clean.
He actually knows about the power of the Salt Pile.
Salt can wash away all sins and filth, but no one has ever dared to experiment with salt on themselves - there is an essential difference between the salt sold by the church and the salt from the Salt Pile.
Being able to use the power of the Salt Pile in this way...
Father Kevin immediately became more respectful to Croya.
“I need you to do something for me next.” Croya pointed to the door to the side without politeness.
"I can maintain it for about ten minutes. Please help me go in and look for something. It can be anything. Just bring it back."
He needs to know what other special species are inside.
Only after we figure out what is inside can we consider the enclosure, breeding and planting.
After Croya said this, it was only then that Kevin noticed the door to the lower plane standing beside him, and the look in his eyes became more and more excited.
It’s the devil! Devil's breath!
You must know that the promotion of the Knights depends on the number of demons killed. He has been suffering from not having enough demons to kill, and now he actually saw a portal to the lower plane!
"Okay, I'll go right away."
The priest took out an exquisite crossbow engraved with sacred magic patterns from the space magic weapon he carried with him, and then took out He got a scepter inlaid with a thick sacred scripture.
With these two things in hand, he couldn't wait to walk into the portal and walked on the ground that seemed to be burned by flames.
However, despite being so prepared, he didn't feel any devil's breath at all. Instead, he smelled some strange barbecue smell and a sweet cake-like smell.
"Is this the lower plane?"
The priest became more and more strange. He felt that there was a reason for these things to be wrong, so he was more careful.
Step forward almost cautiously.
Soon, he heard the "swishing" sound of the river.
"There is water, is it the territory of Leviathan?" He continued to walk forward, but when the river appeared in front of him, he was stunned.
I saw milky white milk and golden honey flowing in this river. The river was turbulent and flowed very fast.
It flows out from nowhere, and then flows towards the depths, with no edges visible at all, and it stretches across the earth.
Because of its fast flow rate, the milk and honey were mixed together, exuding an extremely sweet taste, and even he couldn't help but lick his lips.
"The river flowing with honey and milk...could it be the Promised Land?"
The education Kevin received made him more and more confused at this moment, what if it really was the Promised Land? Maybe in the lower plane?
When he hesitated, several bouncing creatures approached the river and licked the flowing water on the river bank.
That's...sheep.
The wool on their bodies is extremely fluffy and soft, showing a burnt yellow color. The whole sheep looks like buttered bread.
“…”
The priest didn’t know what to say at all.
In fact, with his ability, he cannot see the magic power of the gluttonous demons in these monsters. After all, the gluttonous demon once wanted to spread his "creations" to the main plane, and people must not be able to see that there was demonic magic in them.
But if you eat it without processing it, it will be directly eroded by the devil's magic power and become a slave of gluttony. From body to soul, you will belong to greed.
He silently put down the holy crossbow in his hand, put away the code hammer, and took out a net.
Then, like a hunter hunting, he slowly approached the sheep who were drinking honey and milk with almost no steps.
As the distance gets closer.
He threw the net suddenly -
"咩!!!"
The net instantly caught several sheep, and they screamed loudly in horror, but the net was still there The net closed completely in an instant, leaving them with no possibility of escaping.
When the other sheep saw their companions being caught in the net, they ran away without saying a word. They ran so fast that they escaped from Father Kevin's sight in almost a few seconds.
Only the three sheep trapped in the net were left, bleating pitifully.
“Only three.” The priest was slightly disappointed.
He was about to step forward and catch the sheep when he suddenly heard a "crash" and a huge shadow jumped out of the river and jumped directly to the ground.
The huge weight made the ground tremble.
What appeared this time was... a dragon. To be precise, it should be a dinosaur, and it was very similar to the Tyrannosaurus Rex that Croya had seen in his previous life.
It is about ten meters tall, with honey and milk flowing all over its body. The surface of its strong body is covered with oil. Under the surrounding light, it looks...crisp skin and tender meat. In short, it is full of appetite.
"Roar!!!"
The Tyrannosaurus rex roared violently at the priest, and then pounced directly on it, trying to swallow the little human in one bite.
The priest silently took out the holy crossbow and code hammer that he had just put away, and first fired a crossbow arrow - the golden crossbow arrow exploded directly when it touched the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
"Bang!"
The Tyrannosaurus Rex's flesh was immediately exploded by the processed sacred explosive crossbow, and it howled in pain instantly.
But this is not the end.
The priest saw the right moment, jumped up, and hit the Tyrannosaurus rex on the head with the hammer that looked extremely heavy.
"Ouch!!"
The imagined scene of a broken head, bloody brains and splattered brains did not appear. The Tyrannosaurus rex whined and fell down. After falling, its body suddenly split. Come on.
As if it had disintegrated, strips of roasted golden meat instantly appeared on the ground.
A Tyrannosaurus Rex that was much smaller than before jumped out of the piece of meat and hurriedly tried to escape, but was caught by another net before it could escape.
“Is this a reward?” The priest looked at the roasted golden pieces of meat, swallowed, and chose some to put into his space magic weapon.
Then he began to draw honey and milk from the river and put them into several water bags. During this period, he accidentally discovered some strange jellyfish-like things inside.
Anyway, I would catch him whenever I saw him. Before I left, I also uprooted a small gray-black tree next to him and took him away.
At the end, I calculated that time was almost up, and I quickly left here with a bunch of harvest.
Just after he left, in a deeper place, a huge tree shadow flashed past, as if it was watching him.
