Chapter 523 Potential Crisis
The wisdom of a person is limited. Even if Clown is an eighth-level god, he dare not say that his thoughts can compare with the thinking of everyone.
In his opinion, everyone's thinking has natural blind spots. The purpose of brainstorming is to make up for one's own limitations with the strengths of others.
Only when thoughts collide can sparks be generated. Many times, thinking hard all day will lead to a dead end in one's own thinking.
Clown has recently studied the principles of potion wonders such as the Moon Goddess's Word and the Rune Storm Gem. It seems that he has gained something, but he can't say what he has gained specifically.
That's why he assigned homework to these disciples, wanting to see if these people would think of something he hadn't discovered.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The pharmacists responded one after another, all thinking about how to show themselves and get the favor of the gods.
"Retreat, today is the night of the red moon. There will be a curfew after nightfall. Go back to your homes quickly."
After everyone left, Clown returned to the bedroom, and his soul flew out of the Fire Cube and pounced into his body.
The body lying stiffly on the bed had some life, and the real him sat up.
He clenched his fists, and his bones crackled.
Clown could feel the sun and moon thunder seals on his bones emitting subtle electric light, vibrating his bone marrow, and he felt a tingling sensation.
Eliza walked in and said:
"Now the gray fog will block the sun's brilliance early, and the time for the red moon to rise will also be much earlier.
It's better that you wake up now, so we can hold the meeting earlier.
Do you want to eat something? Dinner is ready. The golem killed several fifth-level monsters and made soup with the uncontaminated parts of the monsters' bodies. It's very delicious."
In recent years, as the gray fog lasted longer and longer, the monsters in the wild mutated more and more, completely out of the scope of normal creatures.
She paused, and then said:
"There is one thing I can't figure out. In the bodies of those severely polluted creatures in the wild, there is always an uncontaminated organ. What is the reason for this?"
The extraordinary people have many speculations about the cause of this matter, but no one has given a reason that convinces everyone.
She also suddenly thought of this when she mentioned dinner, so she asked casually.
"Dinner, I miss this word so much, let's go together."
Clown stood up. After advancing to the eighth level, his body could absorb the energy of heaven and earth to replenish itself, and no longer needed to obtain calories from food to maintain consumption.
Despite this, he still had a desire for food, and he didn't need to eat a lot. It was good to eat a few bites to try something new.
He felt that he was getting further and further away from the self-awareness of "human", but he believed that gods were just powerful humans with a different name.
He became a god from a human, so his identity as a human was his self-awareness at the bottom of logic. If he abandoned it, he felt that he would become an evil god in another sense.
"As for the pure organs that have never been polluted in the body of the monster you mentioned, I think this principle is the same as the principle of yin and yang."
Eliza was stunned for a moment, and whispered:
"What is 'yin and yang'? I have never heard of this term."
Clown laughed, and then he remembered that people in this world had no concept of yin and yang.
"You can understand that light is born from the purest darkness, and black shadows appear in the brightest place.
To put it more simply, the Dark Moon Grass grows in the lava land, but it is cold all over."
"I seem to understand, but I don't seem to understand."
"Haha," Clown laughed, "Understand it slowly. Understanding the birth of yin and yang will help you visualize the Golden Light Mantra."
He didn't continue. If he expressed the mysterious feeling, it would affect his wife's understanding.
The two came to the restaurant, and Eliza began to eat.
These foods are not only delicious for the fifth-level extraordinary people, but long-term consumption can also slightly increase their life breath.
Clown tasted a few mouthfuls and put down his knife and fork. He just missed the fireworks.
Watching his wife finish eating quietly, they went to the meeting room together.
When Clown walked into the meeting room, he found that all the people attending the meeting had arrived.
When everyone saw them coming in, they immediately stood up and saluted:
"Great God of Light, you are the Lord of the World, you have brought light to the dark world. Holy light shines everywhere, and glory lasts forever."
Crown felt a sour taste in his mouth, but he still waited for everyone to finish speaking.
The sense of ritual needs to be cultivated a lot to appear sacred.
"Recite my name, holy light shines everywhere, and glory lasts forever."
Crown sat down, and everyone else sat down.
"Now, how many silver-level extraordinary people are there in the Ming Cult? Do we have information about the number of silver-level extraordinary people in the other two churches?"
Colos immediately stood up and said:
"Your Majesty, I am responsible for external intelligence, and we have not obtained the specific number of other churches.
Based on the intelligence, I estimated a number, which can only be used for reference.
The number of silver-level people in the Moon God Church is more than 2,000, and the number of silver-level people in the Sun God Church is more than 2,400."
The number of silver-level people is confidential, and even people in the churches have no way of knowing if their level is not high enough.
The intelligence agency of the Ming Cult started too late, and its penetration into the other two churches was even weaker, so this intelligence was very watery.
Eliza added:
"In our church, there are a total of 1,051 silver-level transcendents, including 9 fifth-level transcendents and 1 sixth-level transcendent.
Among these silver-level transcendents, about 60% have taken the Golden Light Dao Seed."
"The gap is quite obvious. How many phalanxes are there to practice the secret technique of joint attack? How many people are there in each phalanx?"
Crown was a little ashamed that he had not cared about these things.
As a god of the church, it is a bit unreasonable that he does not know his own family background.
Eliza continued to answer:
“There are three phalanxes, each with 400 people.
Due to the lack of high-level extraordinary beings, I feel that the combat effectiveness of our phalanx is weaker than that of the other two churches. "
“It’s already pretty good,” Crown waved his hand, “Our church has only been established for a few years, and we didn’t fully inherit the Farouk Kingdom’s family fortune at the beginning. The current situation depends entirely on everyone’s concerted efforts. "
They can't compare to the tens of thousands of years of accumulation of other churches. If they can't compare, doesn't it mean that their allies are useless?
With a long inheritance, a clear internal upgrade system, coupled with various spiritual medicines and knowledge accumulation, if he hadn't cheated with the Golden Light Taoism, the situation would have been even more ugly.
"Report on the major events of this month and any requests, starting with Archbishop Janice."
Janice stood up and briefly described the results of the work of the Silver Dawn Guard during this period, and finally described her own needs:
"We need enough high-end equipment to arm ourselves, and there is a shortage of armor and weapons that are more suitable for Silver-level extraordinary people.
In this case, our combat effectiveness will be greatly affected.
I hope your Majesty can find a way to solve this problem. "
She knew how skilled the gods' blacksmiths were, but she couldn't point it out openly that we need you to build equipment. She could only explain it in a roundabout way.
Crown nodded slightly. He had already started cultivating high-level blacksmith talents, but now there were only three people available.
These two people could only create armor and weapons that could be used by fourth-level extraordinary beings, and they were not very fast.
With the help of other blacksmiths, only three or four sets of orders can be completed a month. This speed is like a snail crawling for the overall number of Silver level extraordinary people.
"I understand. I'll figure this out. Next question."
Kolos stood up, talked about the current situation of the Knights of the Silver Hand, and finally complained:
"Similar to what Lord Janice encountered, the number of high-end armors of the Knights is also very scarce. Please increase support."
Friend described the results of the work of the Adjudication Chamber during this period and made the same appeal.
The three combat troops all mentioned the lack of high-end equipment, which made Crown's eyebrows tighten.
This is the disadvantage of the church having no foundation, and the logistics cannot keep up with the pace at all.
Crane coughed twice and said:
"I will solve this problem as soon as possible. After the meeting, give me a detailed map of the entire continent. Be sure to mark the locations of all large and medium-sized mines."
In fact, considering the Fire Cube's control over metal, it is not difficult to forge armor and weapons with him.
The Rubik's Cube will create a qualified embryo, and he only needs to complete the most critical steps.
One difficulty is that there are not enough alloys available.
High-end armor has very high requirements on alloy quality, and the ordinary metal swallowed by the Fire Cube needs to be stored for a while.
He couldn't tell the specific waiting time.
Now that the Rubik's Cube has advanced to the Golden Stigma level, it can swallow more metals. It needs to find a large mining area with rich reserves to devour it.
"I will sort out the map information and hand it over to Your Majesty after the meeting."
After Fanny answered, she began to talk about the church's educational issues and the difficulties encountered in missionary work, with Nick adding from time to time.
Finally, it was Geralt's turn to speak.
This white-haired demon hunter advanced to the fifth level two years ago and formed a Night Watch force based on the Sentinels.
The main purpose of the formation of the army is to hunt monsters and ensure the stability around Shattrath City.
The fifth-level monster Eliza ate for dinner was killed by the golem in cooperation with the Night Watch troops.
“There seem to be more and more types of monsters, and the situation in the wild is more complicated.
Now, the ground connections between various cities are completely interrupted. I am worried a little bit, what should we do if the air connections between various cities are also interrupted? "
Crown raised his eyebrows and asked:
"Do you have any evidence?"
Airships are now the means of communication between parishes. If air connections are also cut off, the consequences will be disastrous.
I am afraid that except for Shattrath, the situation in other areas controlled by the church will deteriorate and slowly slide into the abyss.
“There is some basis for that.
I found that there are more and more evil spirits and monsters that can fly, and the defensive arrays of our airships are generally not strong, and can only barely defend against five levels of attacks.
I also discovered that the reproduction rate of evil spirits and monsters is accelerating, and their attack power is getting stronger and stronger.
As time goes by, the possibility of the emergence of sixth-level monsters cannot be ruled out.
I can't say it's possible. I think the emergence of sixth-level monsters is inevitable. "
Crown was lost in thought. If the defense of the airship was not significantly enhanced, it would be slowly eliminated in the future.
He thought of the spaceships in the science fiction movies of his previous life, and had an idea in his mind.
"I will let Loch Modan City develop new aircraft to replace the airships that are slowly becoming outdated."
As for the source of power for the airship, he thought of the Holy Crystal.
The population in Shattrath City is increasing, people's belief in the God of Radiance is becoming more and more pious, and the speed of making holy crystals is getting faster and faster.
According to his ideas, the time it takes for Loch Modan to develop new aircraft should be greatly reduced.
The new aircraft needs to be equipped with an attack system. The Holy Tower of Light in Shattrath has a ready-made attack array that can be copied, which is another advantage.
"Your Majesty is wise," Geralt complimented and sat down.
No one spoke again. Clown announced the adjournment of the meeting and asked Janice to stay.
After everyone left, Janice knelt slightly and said:
"Your Majesty, do you have any instructions?"
Clown looked at the girl whose growth he had witnessed, and was slightly stunned.
He sighed and said:
"Your father would be proud of you!"
Janice's eyes flashed with memories, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth:
"I think so too."
Del's initial expectation for her was to advance to silver, and later he expected her to advance to the fifth-level extraordinary.
She did all these, and now she has become a sixth-level extraordinary. Her father never dreamed of such progress when he was alive.
The only thing she didn't do was to establish the "Smith" family.
"By the way, what level has Soraka grown to now?"
The little girl who was born with the potential of the Golden Light Curse has been in the church for three years. He has hardly asked about it. It was all Janice who paid.
Janice smiled, as if a night-blooming cereus bloomed at night, and the momentary beauty was memorable.
"This student of mine is even better than I was back then. In three years, she has become a third-level extraordinary person.
Moreover, she has raised her visualization method to the third level without the help of His Majesty.
I think that when her visualization method breaks through the fourth level, it will be the time for her to advance to the silver level.
And this day is not far away."
Klauen nodded slightly:
"Very good, continue to cultivate.
When she becomes a silver-level extraordinary person, let her enter the Silver Dawn for training."
He waved his hand, signaling her to leave.
Janice saluted respectfully and walked out of the meeting room.
Clown and his wife returned to the bedroom. After some tenderness, he kissed her forehead and said:
"I'm leaving. I hope you'll tell me when we meet again that you'll hold an advancement ceremony for you."
"I think so."
Eliza smiled gently. Recently, she felt that she was getting closer and closer to that critical point, just a little bit away from touching it.
She believed in her intuition very much.
"Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
Clown got up and left. He quietly flew to the Holy Tower of Light, sealed his body, and summoned the Fire Cube.
Then, his soul drilled into the cube, and a pool of liquid metal left the manor without anyone noticing, and finally turned into a black bird, flew away from Shattrath, and finally sank into the rolling gray fog.
