Chapter 268: Divine Art Cuts off the Confession
On the other side of the screen, Li Chengqi looked at the screen and sighed.
When Aldai came here last time, Li Chengqi emphasized several times not to go to the Tandelon Demon Kingdom to find the Demon King's Ring. The result is that I know I was wrong, but I still dare to do it next time.
The Demon King's Ring is important, but in Li Chengqi's view, Aldai, a high-level master, is more important. Even if the past relationship is not considered, Aldai is a technical verifier.
Li Chengqi could get some drawings of windmills or waterwheels, and Viola could also ask craftsmen to build them, but Viola couldn't do anything more difficult, let alone extracting gasoline from petroleum and making polymers. Li Chengqi doesn't understand what he's waiting for.
The level of social productivity was still in the Middle Ages, and the gap in craftsmanship was reflected in all aspects. Even a screw had an obvious gap. If you wanted to create something that transcended the times, you could only rely on magic.
Not to mention that Aldai is the youngest high-level mage, and her future achievements are limitless. It would be unwise for her to take the risk to get the Demon King's Ring.
But you have already come here, and you have already alerted the enemy. There is no point in letting people go back now.
"You said that your followers entered a large battleship that looked like a nautilus? That was the shell ship of the illithids."
"What is an illithid?"
"They come from the distant stars, and some say they come from the future timeline. Even among the gods, it is almost impossible to tell their origins."
Aidas grabbed her cheek and gestured with her teeth and claws:
"This creature has purple skin and has several long tentacles from its lips to its chin. Under the tentacles is a round mouthpart. Their teeth can pry open the brains of intelligent creatures like crowbars. Eat the brains out of them. They are soulless creatures, more monstrous and evil than demons."
It doesn't sound like a good thing...
"The conch ship is the illithid's spaceship. They rely on the conch ship to sail among the stars, plundering creatures everywhere for food and test subjects. But later, the slaves they raised resisted, and most of the illithids hid in the dark underground. The shell ship rarely takes to the air, and its French-driven engine will be discovered once it is started. "
Isn't this a spaceship? No wonder the illithids may come from a future timeline.
If you think about it carefully, the golem is actually a large combat robot, and the teleportation spell is a wormhole jump. Magical matters cannot really be measured by the earth's technology tree.
In other words, if this shell ship can be driven away, it might be able to be used as an aerial gunship.
But Li Chengqi looked at the huge ravine left by the shell ship on the ground...
It feels like the probability that this thing can still be activated is already very low, worse than the scene of an air crash.
With these thoughts in his mind, Li Chengqi casually opened the attribute panels of several of Aldai's teammates and took a few casual glances.
"Speaking of which, since God was shot down and fled to Earth, can divine magic still be used?"
"Forehead……"
These words also stopped Adas from asking, after all, this kind of thing had never happened before.
She pondered for several seconds before saying:
"If you are all suddenly defeated like me, our divine realm is still running automatically, but the granting of divine magic does not run automatically. Nothing will happen in a day or two. Even the priests won’t notice the big problem, but as time goes by, when the priests run out of magic, they will find that they can’t obtain new magic, and the magic will no longer be available.”
A mage's spellcasting relies on learning, which is equivalent to a small workshop that produces and sells its own products, making one product and selling one.
Pastor is equivalent to a franchise store. The head office authorizes your trademark and sends you raw materials and technology. All you have to do is sell.
But if one day, the main store suddenly stops shipping, the franchise stores who have sold out the goods on hand will be blinded.
This is the difference between a priest and a mage.
However, the magic that Li Chengqi gave to the Knights of the Guards belonged to a different style of painting. He did not give raw materials and technology, but directly gave production rights.
This is equivalent to reducing the loss caused by the transportation of raw materials on the way. Therefore, the power of divine spells of Viola and the Knights of the Guards is stronger than ordinary divine spells, but the types and quantities are far less than that of ordinary priests.
After listening to Aida's explanation, Li Chengqi thoughtfully picked up the microphone...
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Nemea, the tiefling rogue, scouted the way forward and complained quietly: "This damn place smells of rot. I wonder if it's poisonous."
"I checked it with the toxin detector, and it's fine."
Halfling priest Perrin fiddled with the sun-shaped holy symbol in his hand to show that you are relieved.
"I'm more concerned about what monsters are in this ghost place and what treasures can be found."
The dwarf warrior Derg looked around with his battle ax on his shoulder. All that came into view were shriveled muscle tissue and dusty armor plates.
He turned back and asked:
"Professor, what are we looking for here?"
He saw Aldai nodding slowly, staring at the lines and symbols on the organic wall, as if trying to determine what it meant.
"There must be magic items on the shell ship that are not available in the outside world. They are of great research value."
"Hey, I only care about whether there are gold coins."
"But if we can drive this shell ship away, we should be able to sell it for a lot of money. I heard that the Tandelon Demon Kingdom is at war, and they will be interested in the shell ship."
As soon as he talked about this, Nemea became a little excited, and even began to imagine himself sitting on a mountain of gold coins.
"Don't think too much."
Aldai held the staff and poured cold water on the others:
"This shell ship has been down for at least several decades. Most of the ship's functions have failed. At present, it can only be regarded as a large piece of garbage with relatively research value."
"Professor, can't you fix it too?"
"The psychic technology of illithids is completely different from magic. This is not my research direction. Besides, even if I can repair it, only illithids can activate the shell ship. They have encrypted the most important magic rudder of the shell ship. ”
Hearing what Aldai said, the three of them smacked their lips, probably feeling sorry that they couldn't drive away the shell ship.
At this moment, Nemea, who was walking at the front, suddenly raised his hand above his head to signal the people behind him to stop.
She immediately lay down on the ground, listening to the movement from the floor with her slender ears.
Two seconds later, she stood up and whispered:
"I heard something approaching, a very soft sound but a large number. It might be some kind of small creature. What should I do? Do we want to fight?"
Adventurers always avoid when they can when performing tasks. No matter how good you are at fighting, you don't know what you will encounter in the future. Preserving your strength is the best option.
However, the three of them were hired guards this time, and they had to listen to their employer on this matter, so the three of them looked at Aldai.
"No, we should try to avoid fighting."
"But there's nowhere to hide in the corridor."
"Come closer."
Aldai pinched a seal, and an invisible wave spread out, covering the four of them firmly like a cover.
"This is an invisible sphere. If you stay within the sphere, you will become invisible."
Then they found a sunken area next to the corridor and found a good place to stand.
At this moment, a faint sound broke into my ears, like a rustling sound like cockroaches crawling across the tiles, and the sound became clearer and clearer. Soon, a group of weird creatures came out of the darkness at the other end of the corridor...
