Chapter 471 Transformation (4.8k)

Lanshengsi Island is oval in shape as a whole. From a distance, it looks like a giant turtle exposed on the sea.

As one of the seven islands in the south, it is undoubtedly a huge island. Its area is much larger than Krall Island or Blackstone Island, and it is even a bit larger than Ti Laimei Plain.

After setting foot on the island, it feels like stepping onto another continent, and a sense of down-to-earth arises spontaneously.

Colin and others landed on the southeast side of the island, which is a towering cliff with dense shrubs and a few scattered trees growing above it.

Further ahead, a bustling town can be vaguely seen.

Mir stood at a high place and watched carefully for a moment, then turned around and said:

"Renlai City is about ten kilometers ahead from the coast here. Our goal is Renlai Square in the center of the city."

"Keep moving forward, stay hidden, stay suspended, and don't come into contact with anything other than the air."

"Okay!" The wizards nodded.

Although the concealment effect of the world ball is excellent, if they accidentally touch things in the outside world, such as brushing against the leaves, when the leaves shake, their feet will inevitably be exposed.

But there is no need to worry about air currents and the like. The World Ball can smooth out air fluctuations and the spread of sound.

The wizards continued to move forward.

As the distance got closer, the bustling town in the distance became clearer and clearer.

The town is actually not that big in size, roughly the same size as the golden ears of wheat in the Tielaimei Plain.

The whole city is long and narrow, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and is tightly surrounded by a tall gray and black wall.

But compared to the gray and black city walls outside, which are nothing special except being tall, the buildings inside the city can be called extremely luxurious!

Most of the outer walls are just painted with golden patterns, but inside, the floor is paved with gold bricks, and the walls are painted with gold powder. At intervals on the road, there are tall statues whose faces cannot be seen clearly!

It was so golden that even the dark sky seemed to be a little brighter because of it!

Colin had never been to this island, but he also thought it was a bit strange, but he didn't think much about it and just thought it was some kind of golden paint.

But the eyes of Mir, Yates and others beside him showed obvious surprise.

"It's really luxurious." Raiden sighed as he looked at the town not far away. Like Colin, it was his first time to come to Lanshengsi Island.

"This was not the case before. Renlai City was just an inconspicuous small town on Lan Shengxi Island." Mir at the front shook his head and explained, "These luxurious decorations should be the changes brought about by the Lord of Gold and Lava."

After crossing the city wall, they continued flying towards Renlai Square in the center of the city.

Luxurious streets passed by quickly on both sides, and Colin gradually realized that the town in front of him was actually just a small town.

Those gorgeous gold patterns, shining gold bricks and carvings have only brought superficial changes to the entire Renlai City.

Behind the gorgeous golden patterns, the dilapidated houses are still dilapidated, and the muddy and dilapidated roads are still muddy and dilapidated.

Even when crossing some alleys, Colin could see homeless people crouching and moaning lowly.

If Colin were to ask, apart from the appearance, what was the difference between a town ruled by gods and an ordinary town?

It can only be quiet.

I don't know if there is a curfew in Renlai City. It's just dark at this moment, but there are no people on the streets.

Occasionally, there are a few ordinary people who are in a hurry and don't stray too far from home. They will quickly go back to their houses.

In those houses, there are almost no lights on, and it is dark. Only the occasional slight sound can prove that there are still people inside.

However, as we get closer to the center of the city, this situation changes slightly.

There were more and more rooms with lights on, and occasionally conversations could be heard inside.

Colin keenly discovered that there was generally a complex golden coat of arms protruding from the illuminated door walls.

"That is the emblem of the Lord of Gold and Lava. If you guessed correctly, the people living inside should be clergy." Mir noticed his gaze and explained to everyone in a low voice.

"We will take action later and try to avoid getting too close to the houses of these clergymen."

The wizards nodded silently, and after a while, they finally arrived at Renlai Square in the center of the city.

If you ignore the gold bricks under your feet and the majestic solid gold sculpture in the center, this square is not much different from the central square of any other town.

They are all roughly square in shape, with a high platform in the center near the sculpture for convenient speech.

Mir looked at the surrounding buildings, considered for a moment, and led them to the northwest corner of the square.

The northwest area of ​​Renlai City is relatively less prosperous. Looking around, even near the central square, there are few clergy residences with divine emblems at the door.

After everyone stood still, Mir took out the World Orb and activated his magic power to cover an area as large as possible.

"Without further delay, let's start building the teleportation array base pillars now."

Although there are many magic places on Lan Shengxi Island, if you want the teleportation array pillars to connect multiple magic places, you can't just build pillars at random locations.

Otherwise, they would have chosen a more hidden place with magical energy.

If they want to use the magical land, they need to go to one of the more special hubs.

The Renlai Plaza in front of us is the nearest hub location selected in advance.

As for directly building a teleportation array without using the magic energy land, the process will become several times more complicated, the time required and the possibility of exposure will be greater, so it can only be used as an alternative.

Mir's words just finished.

"Yes!" The wizards nodded immediately and began to take out the precious materials needed to build the base pillar of the teleportation array from the storage rings they carried with them.

Mithril, emerald gold thread, flying stone... precious materials were taken out one after another, and the expressions of the wizards became solemn.

"Pay attention to reducing fluctuations as much as possible when connecting magic energy locations on the island."

Mir also took out a large amount of precious materials from the storage ring and gave instructions at the same time.

Colin nodded slightly and became more careful in building the foundation pillar in his hands.

Although the World Hiding Orb is powerful, it is not omnipotent.

When they come into contact with the outside world, such as building the foundation pillar now, the outside world will naturally change accordingly.

If someone is observing at this time, although they cannot see them, if their perception is strong, they can still detect the subtle fluctuations caused by the construction of the foundation pillars under the square.

"Ta-ta-ta-"

Just as Colin was thinking this, slight footsteps suddenly came from the side.

All the wizards raised their heads in unison and immediately stopped what they were doing.

After a while, three patrolling believers in golden robes walked out of the darkness carrying oil lamps.

"The wizard is attacking the three islands of Pala again..." The man in the middle had dark skin and an ugly face. He yawned and said while looking at the faint light in the distance.

Some of the stocky believers on his right snorted coldly and said in a deep voice:

"It's nothing but an ephemeral... ephemeral..."

However, even if he was wearing a luxurious golden robe, the knowledge in his mind would not increase at all. The believer, who was originally just a ruffian, suddenly got stuck as he spoke.

"The mayfly shakes the tree." The believer on the far left added helplessly.

Compared with the two companions next to him, he at least seemed to have good facial features and did not look out of place in his golden robe.

In fact, in terms of background, he is also the best among the three, coming from a small businessman family.

But now on this island, it is meaningless to care about these backgrounds.

At this time, what distinguishes the top three on this island is their piety to the gods and their own innate talents.

Even local hooligans who were originally hated by people and dogs can transform into the privileged class.

"Yes!" The short and sturdy believer nodded, "Those wizards are nothing more than a mayfly shaking a tree. Sooner or later they will be beaten to pieces by the great gods!"

"That is inevitable." Orthodox believers agreed.

Although he had always disliked his companion who was originally a ruffian, they all believed in the gods and were always on the same side when it came to issues facing the gods!

The three believers continued to talk, passing by Colin and others, and gradually moved away, not noticing the secret fluctuations underground at all.

"Okay, let's continue, just some ordinary believers." Mir breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, Colin suddenly paused when he heard the retreating footsteps of the three believers, and then shouted in unison: "The Pope!"

…

Mal walked out of a private house feeling refreshed. Behind him stood a pretty woman and a tall man with his head lowered and his expression unclear.

He looked at the believers in front of him who were greeting him, nodded calmly, without feeling embarrassed at all, pressed the divine emblem on his chest, and said loudly:

"Thank you, my lord, for giving us the power and glory. You must patrol well!"

"yes!"

"Thank you my Lord!"

The three patrolling believers responded quickly. Among them, the short and fat believer couldn't help but raise his head and glance at the familiar Mal in front of him.

He knew Mar, the pope, who was originally just a gangster like him on Lanshengsi Island, except that he liked to gamble, while Mar was lustful.

But now, he has suddenly become an unattainable pope. He can stay in a private house every night and play music every night. How happy!

"Okay, let's continue patrolling." Mal waved his hand and continued walking forward.

…

In the distance, Colin's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately whispered: "Those three patrolling believers met a pope not far ahead!"

When Mir heard this, her heart suddenly sank. She also heard the loud greetings from the believers.

Unexpectedly, we encountered such a crisis just after we started building the teleportation array?

Those patrolling believers with low strength cannot detect the fluctuations in the foundation pillars of their teleportation array at this moment, but the pope is generally at the fourth level of strength...

Renlai City is just a small town, how come there is a pope sitting in it? !

It would be okay if it was far away from the base pillar. Under the cover of the earth, it was extremely difficult to detect the slight fluctuations that were connected to the land of magic energy.

But near the foundation pillar... Mir's thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, and he made a decision immediately:

"Stop the construction temporarily and wait for the Pope to leave."

Although temporarily stopping the construction of pillars will not completely eliminate the fluctuations that have already occurred, at least there will be no new ones.

However, after a moment, the faces of the wizards suddenly became ugly.

Namar's footsteps were clearly getting closer to them.

Mir frowned, quietly took out the purple ring witchcraft tool, and prepared for the worst.

Mal walked leisurely in Renlai Square, feeling the gentle blowing of the night wind, and couldn't help but squint his eyes in comfort.

"Thank you, Lord!" He couldn't remember how many times he prayed like this in a devout whisper in his heart.

The female believer who just enjoyed the meal originally had a family that was in the grain business. Although it was not a big one, there were several knights in the family, which was not something a ruffian like him would dare to offend.

But now, everything has changed. He is now the one that female believers dare not provoke!

"Thank you, Lord." While thinking, Mal looked at the bright sculpture in the center of the square, feeling even more pious in his heart.

After enjoying the female believers every night, he would go to the nearest large statue to pray devoutly, and he had developed a habit.

Tonight is no exception.

But soon, before Mal could reach the front of the sculpture, his steps suddenly stopped, and his eyes suddenly became sharp!

Uh-huh!

But before he could react, a lilac light flashed in the dim night and turned into a long whip, which immediately bound him and dragged him into the coverage area of ​​the hidden orb at lightning speed. !

"Wizard! A wizard actually sneaked into the island?!"

Mal's eyes were dazzled, and he finally saw Colin and others clearly, and his expression suddenly changed.

At first, it was subconscious fear, but soon, the enthusiasm for the gods took over. His face darkened, and he subconsciously activated his divine power to fight against Mir.

Buzz! !

Mir activated the concealment orb with one hand, and tried hard to control the purple ring of the shaman tool with the other hand to fight against Mal.

Colin and others on the side did not stand still, and they all came to help!

After all, Mal missed the opportunity, and now under the siege of the wizards, he suddenly fell into decline.

Seeing that he was about to be killed on the spot, Mal suddenly grinned and shouted:

"Fourth-level wizards... No matter what your purpose is for sneaking into Lan Shengxi Island, I will never let you do harm to our Lord!"

After saying that, a dazzling golden light erupted all over his body, and the temperature of his whole body suddenly rose, turning into a dazzling humanoid lava in the blink of an eye.

After being pulled into the realm enveloped by the World Orb, Mal realized that he could no longer contact the gods.

But the Pope alone was not enough to keep the gods' attention at all times, so he did not hesitate to choose the attack that caused the greatest noise he could!

The invisible divine power in the body burns fiercely like gasoline!

boom!

Bang bang bang!

On the orange skin of the lava-like flow hole, magma bubbles are generated and broken one by one, which is very unstable.

Mal opened his mouth slightly, seeming to have lost consciousness and not even sure if he was still alive.

But the changes in his body have not stopped yet, and a dangerous aura is growing rapidly with the ever-expanding body!

"He's going to explode!"

Mir's face darkened, he took a deep breath, a flash of light flashed across his body, and he immediately turned into a translucent blue figure and rushed toward Mal.

This is a spiritual body unique to fourth-level wizards that combines the essence of the body!

In mid-air, Mir's body continued to expand, and then suddenly turned into a stream of light blue water, which quickly enveloped Mal, who was already a ball of hot magma.

The effect of the concealment orb has an upper limit. If Mal really explodes, it will inevitably expose them.

Under Mir's full control, the extremely unstable red lava that Mal transformed into gradually stopped spreading.

All the wizards breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm afraid we're in trouble."

Mir's face suddenly emerged from the continuously flowing light blue water. She looked at the main body of the teleportation array that had just begun to be built not far away, with an ugly expression.

"I can't spare any extra energy to build the main body of the teleportation array."

"This blazing red lava composed of divine power cannot be solved in a short time. It will take at least twenty minutes to barely free up your hands, and half an hour to completely dissolve it."

After her words fell, the faces of all the wizards turned ugly.

Only Colin and Yates were staring blankly at the hot lava that Mal had transformed into.

"Are any of you confident about building the main body of the complete teleportation array?" Mir continued to ask.

Leiden's face moved slightly, but after all, he still didn't dare to say that he was completely sure.

Lance and Jacqueline on the side were even more so, with panicked looks on their faces.

Disappointment flashed in Mir's eyes, and he shifted his gaze to Yates and Colin.

Yates finally came back to his senses at this time, feeling the eyes of everyone, and subconsciously explained: "This ball of lava reminds me of the disaster that Howie Island faced..."

"Are you sure you can build the complete main body of the teleportation array?" Mir interrupted him and asked.

Yates paused and shook his head.

Leiden gritted his teeth and took a step forward:

"I can try..."

"I'm sure."

Colin's voice suddenly came.

Leiden was slightly startled and looked away.

Colin retracted his gaze from the hot lava, felt the fluctuations on the gold paper, and subconsciously repeated:

"I am confident that I can build the complete main body of the teleportation array."

The fluctuation of divine power that erupted before Mal's death was like throwing a stone into the lake of inspiration in his mind, causing ripples in circles.

Unfortunately, the stone was still too small to create a real wave.

"Are you sure you have complete confidence in building the main body of the teleportation array, Colin?" Mir continued to ask.

Feeling the surprised looks of everyone, Colin finally came back to his senses, paused and continued calmly:

"I am sure."

The current situation is not the time to hide one's clumsiness.

With this in mind, he continued to emphasize:

"Before coming here, I simulated it many times with crystals and successfully built the entire teleportation array."
