The Luminous Moss would forever hang quietly on the walls of the Underground World, allowing the descendants of the exiled to have the right to enjoy the light.
This kind of plant has been researched and discussed in the other world. The theory behind it is probably to fuse the genes of fireflies and moss, allowing the fluorescence of living things and the photosynthesis of plants to work together, achieving a low energy consumption cycle, becoming a self-sufficient light supply system, serving as a perpetual light supply system for the Underground.
The Luminous Moss itself can be planted in the mines to prevent mining accidents. Its derivative, the Luminous Moss Lamp, can be used in public environmental lighting. Using the Luminous Moss to improve the energy structure of society … Although it sounds good, the technical difficulty is too great. Even if we can overcome the technical difficulties and forcefully combine the genes of plants and animals together, who knows what kind of monster will emerge. In the end, it still remains in theory.
I didn't expect that the purely theoretical discussion that I saw in the science magazine back then would actually turn into reality in a foreign land. As expected, compared to magic and technology, which are always limited, the evolution of nature is endless.
According to the records and research of the sages on the surface, this kind of strange plant that not only emits light, it can also emit heat. It probably has a series of prefixes and terms that people can't understand. However, in the Underground World, it has a nice nickname that doesn't match its ugly appearance at all — Sunflower.
Every Underground City is destined to be built in an area where the Luminous Moss gathers lush. If it is built outside the Underground City, such a natural light area would attract countless ferocious beasts to fight for it.
Of course, in recent times, the Great Druil discovered the way to grow the Luminous Moss, which allowed the scale of the Underground City to no longer be limited by the Luminous Moss. However, to find a super flying beast that can fly above the clouds and the Great Druil to sow the seeds, the actual cost is still extremely high.
Perhaps, only a natural strategic city like the City of Platinum is willing to spend a large sum of gold to continuously increase the area of the Luminous Moss and expand the range of the city.
At this moment, as the light in the distance gradually brightens, very soon, the Luminous Moss here will also start to emit light. A new day has arrived.
The physical body needed sleep to recover from fatigue and allow the brain to stop working. However, ordinary undead didn't have the concept of fatigue, so they didn't need to sleep. That was why I half-jokingly gave them the nickname of Wumianzhe.
However, upon reaching the level of an Undead Lord, most Undead Lords would pick up the habit of sleeping again. Some would say that it was to recover from mental fatigue, while others would say that it was to stop their bodily functions in order to recover mana faster and better. However, since I had nothing better to do, I did some research and discovered that there were better ways to recover from mental fatigue and replenish mana. There was no need to go into deep sleep at all. Losing consciousness was obviously dangerous.
Through testing, the final conclusion was that many Undead Lords could move and rest like living humans. Those with perfect physical bodies were even able to regain their sense of taste and hearing. Most Undead Lords simply had an instinctive habit from deep within their souls. Their physical bodies would then instinctively mimic those functions.
Thus, those artificial undead like Abomination Giants, Gargoyles, Bone Colossuses and so on, even if they became intelligent high-tier undead, they still didn't have the same habits and actions as living humans. However, the curious me made a small experiment.
"The reason why unnatural creatures like the undead are able to exist in the world is usually due to the crystallization of resentment and hatred. 'Unwilling to die' is also a kind of temptation. What if pure artificial undead also had desires? Would they become stronger because of pure temptation? Then, let's start with the appetite that 'Gluttony' represents. "
Originally, I intended to imitate the Seven Deadly Sins and did 7 experiments. However, it was a pity that the Seven Deadly Sins weren't completely completed and they weren't mass-produced. It wasn't because the results of the experiments were too bad, but because the results were too good.
The first 'Carnivore' Ah Dang, the eldest of the Seven Deadly Sins, was already the most terrifying monster in the history of the undead. As my Necromancy improved, the other Deadly Sins became more and more terrifying, to the point where they were on the verge of going out of control.
Thus, after estimating that if this were to continue, I might end up repeating the same mistakes. Sooner or later, I would combine the knowledge of the two worlds to create a monster that destroys everything. Thus, I stopped.
"Hmph, I admit that I don't have much talent in Elemental Magic. I am completely unable to learn Magic Resonance and the like. However, Necromancy is something that I am able to learn easily. My talent in Creation is so strong that even I am afraid of myself. As expected, mad scientists and the like are born to destroy the world."
It was a rare dream of the past. Just as I woke up from my deep sleep, I was attracted by the sounds below.
The noisy training and orderly chants of the Town Security were nowhere to be seen. Looks like they were following my orders to enforce the law on the streets. However, on the flat ground where they used to practice, there were still people sparring.
The small empty ground was filled with traces of ice and flames. However, the main characters of this sparring wasn't just Eliza and Anne.
"Ice Formation: Ballista Formation!"
Following Eliza's command, the dozens of Ice Ballistas behind her all shot out. The spinning Ice Ballista bolts were all concentrated on the target in midair.
Anne, who was wielding a sword, summoned her Flame Wings. Like an Angel of Raging Flames, she swooped down, trying her best to tangle with her opponent.
However, even though she used the momentum of her dive to collide with her opponent, the other party only raised a finger to block it lightly, causing the blade of her sword to tilt to the side.
The difference in their strength was simply too huge. The God Sword couldn't even scratch the other party's skin. This was the difference in strength of at least two jobs.
At this moment, the Ice Ballista was already in front of Little Red's eyes. However, she acted as though she didn't see it. She only shook her head, seemingly dissatisfied with the performance of the younger generation.
"Ha!" With a loud shout, Anne and Eliza's movements suddenly came to a halt. Following which, they felt dizzy from the shockwave.
"Too slow, too weak, too powerless. Your elemental essence isn't pure, your physical combat skills aren't up to par, your footwork is loose, your dodging is slow, none of your movements are decent, and you want to fight with me on the same stage? Dream on! "
Finally, Little Red seemed to be infuriated. With a stomp of her long legs, the entire ground shook back and forth. Under the inexplicable shockwave, Eliza and Anne, who had yet to regain their balance, couldn't even stand steadily and fell to the ground.
When the Ice Ballista arrived in front of her, Little Red just stared at it for a moment before it disintegrated in midair. It couldn't even touch her skin.
Alright, the third duel, or rather, a one-sided crushing, lasted for less than two minutes before it ended.
"Looks like they are really agitated."
That day, there were more than twenty Legend-rank and a few Saint-rank on the other side of the negotiation table. On the other side, there were only two young Gold-rank. Both of them were future city lords, but the disparity between them was so huge that no matter how open-minded they were, they would still be agitated by this huge disparity in strength.
This was also the reason why I allowed them to negotiate on their own. The cruel reality was also the most direct motivation. If the two of them were able to achieve a breakthrough here, with two more Legend-rank in their hands, this unbalanced game of cards would become much easier to play.
"Since you are watching the show from the window, why don't you come down and give me some pointers? I am really not used to the fighting style of you humanoid creatures. In this state, I am unable to display even half of my fighting prowess. Furthermore, the increase in your realms is even more inexplicable. It is better for you to teach them. "
The urging of Little Red beside me made it impossible for me to sit back and watch the show. Little Red is an expert in fighting and she has rich combat experience. Imparting her combat experience is very effective, but if she were to teach others … Ninety percent of the growth of Dragons depends on their talent. How can she be a teacher when she hasn't gone through cultivation before?
She will teach you the Flapping Wings, Combined Claws and Teeth, Sweeping Dragon Tail, Diving Dragon Breath, but are you able to learn them? Un? It seems that Eliza can really learn a little. At the very least, she can learn the Sweeping Dragon Tail. However, thinking about the Half-Demon maid who is getting more and more ferocious by the day, I decided not to shoot myself in the foot.
Actually, I am already very clear about the problem of the two Gold-pinnacle. Their foundations have already reached the required level, all that is left is to form their Soul Imprint. That Imprint is the crystallization of a mortal's breakthrough into the realm of Legend-rank. It is the accumulation of a lifetime's worth of experience and power, the cornerstone for them to step into a higher realm. Simply put, they have to determine the direction of their future development.
However, when it comes to the specifics, it is completely different. Eliza has too many paths, but she doesn't know which one to take.
"Eliza, Race: Half-demon favored by the Abyss, Strength: 22, Agility: 20, Stamina: 20, Intelligence: 24, Charm: 18, Will: 5, Job: LV60 Mage/LV1 Law Incantation/LV12 Ice Treader/LV10 Saint Pugilist (Warrior Monks who specialize in exterminating Undead)/LV5 Assassin Total Level: 88 (Due to the lack of a Soul Imprint, overall Level Rating is 79 Gold-pinnacle)"
In the past hundred years, she has learned too many things. The Ice Magic that I imparted to her, the talent of a Half-Demon that comes from the Abyss, the regular magic that Marguerite taught her, her self-created string magic, and also the Thief and Pugilist skills that she learned from who knows where (When I saw that the Saint Pugilist who is known as the Undead Killer actually has 10 levels, even my legs turned to jelly). After her basic abilities and attributes reach the required level, any of the paths would allow her to step into Legend-rank … However, sometimes, having too many choices makes it hard for one to make a firm decision. Choosing one path is equivalent to giving up on everything else. She is still hesitating.
On the other hand, Anne's foundations are too shallow. The Inheritance of the Phoenix allowed the speed at which her strength soars far surpasses the speed at which she accumulates experience. Finding a path that is suitable for her and has limitless potential is indeed a difficult task for her, who is not even 20 years old.
It is hard for outsiders to help them in choosing a path that involves their future development. After all, only they know the path that is most suitable for them. This is also the reason why Little Red is in a dilemma. She is unable to make a life decision for the two of them.
However, to me, it is not as if there is no way at all. We are unable to help them make a choice, but we can provide them with the experience of others making a choice for them to refer to. The path and experience of others is sufficient to serve as a catalyst for them to mature.
Logically speaking, I, who has reached Legend-rank 4 times and formed 4 Soul Imprints, should have the most say. However, in reality, other than the Seal of Justice which represents the Power of Law, the other 3 were obtained by using the cheat-like System to squander experience and points … Furthermore, the Seal of Justice came from an even more unexpected source. It is equivalent to a gift from the Origin of Order after the invention of the Power of Law. Thus, it is impossible to use it as a case study and experience.
"Little Red, tell them about Adam and Marguerite's experiences in trying to break into Legend-rank. It should be helpful."
"Hey, you are the person involved. Why don't you say it yourself?"
"I forgot and am too lazy to flip through my diary." In order to prevent my memories from being lost after death, I have always maintained the habit of keeping a diary. Currently, my diary has filled up an entire underground library. Furthermore, this is obviously something that happened too early and it would be too troublesome to look into it.
"… Alright, alright, I will speak." The voice that comes from the Illusory Sound Spell seems to have an inexplicable sense of dejection.
Shaking her head to raise her spirits, Little Red claps her hands.
"… Marguerite's experience in breaking into Legend-rank is a little unique. It might be impossible to use it as a reference. Back then, when we were in the Kingdom of the Elves, it wasn't easy for us to get a library card for the national library. However, it was only for 3 days. She was so engrossed in reading that she didn't want to come out. In the end, she actually managed to finish reading the entire library's collection in 3 days. Furthermore, when she came out, she was already a Legend-rank. The reason why she formed the Corridor of Time is purely to read more books. "
Her voice isn't soft. Not only did the other experts on the ground hear it, even I, who was on the second floor, could hear it clearly.
"Since you have forgotten, just remember it once more. Other than looking for the information on magic that you need, the records on the treasures that Lisa wants, the information on the martial arts that Adam wants, and the information on the God Equipment that I am looking for, she also looked up all of the records regarding the destruction of the Mist Country in the Kingdom of the Elves for you. Back then, you said that you owed her a huge favor. If there is a chance, remember to return it. "
This time, Little Red's whisper only echoes beside me, but I am stunned. The Mist Country is a country that I have destroyed in the past. Back then, one of the main goals of my adventure was to find out the ins and outs of its betrayal and destruction. I didn't expect that I would actually find out about it from where. It seems that those who lose their memories will never know what important memories they have forgotten. Death really does take away many things.
While I am listening to her seriously, Little Red is speechless and bursts into laughter.
"As for Adam, pui, he is really a joke."
Hearing the name of the famous city lord, the listeners are even more interested. Who wouldn't want to know about the past of this epic hero? Most of the people in the campsite are trying their best to eavesdrop.
"Back then, our adventuring team offended a bastard lord who believes in evil cults. In the end, he sent his men to hold back our Holy Knight Captain Rolo and Warrior Adam. Then, he attacked our temporary campsite and captured the Mage Marguerite and the Thief Lisa, who were recuperating at that time. He even left a note threatening that if we don't come to so-and-so in so-and-so within three days, he will take XX hostage and kill them …"
"Then, Lord Adam's rage exploded? Suddenly becoming a Legend, then he came to save the damsel in distress. Although the route is a little cliché, it is indeed a classic. Perhaps, Lord Marguerite fell in love with him that time. " The quick talker Momo and Diana are the only two Town Security members who didn't go on the streets to 'relax'. At this moment, the two of them are also listening in.
"Heh, back then, Adam was indeed furious. He raised his sword to the sky and roared 'Despicable and shameless scum, I will tear you into pieces, just like that paper'. Then, he casually threw the letter into the air and with a flash of his sword, he sliced it into powder and allowed the wind to blow the powder away. Then, he looked so cool …"
"Then, he met a strong enemy and fought with him. Then, he reached Legend?"
"No, the next sentence was' Oh no, I haven't recorded down the address!! What should I do??? '… "
"WHAT!!!?"
Saying till here, Little Red is satisfied with the astonished and even dumbfounded gazes of the crowd.
"Wait, what should I do? What happened to Lord Marguerite and the female thief? "
"It can't be, how can they be that foolish? What should I do after that? "
Shaking her head, Little Red reminisces about the past and continues.
"Yes, without the address, it means that we have lost the clue to save them. The team leader Rolo was furious. With a single slap, he sent that fool Adam flying 4 meters away, smashing him into a tree. That was the first time we saw Big Brother Rolo, who is usually gentle and polite to everyone, angered to that extent. Then, that fool Adam went out like a madman, searching everywhere … "
"Found it? Found it within 3 days? "Regarding her adoptive father who is hailed as the perfect hero, Anne is a little curious.
"No, he only found it on the 5th day."
"Then …"
This time, everyone is shocked. No one expected City Lord Adam to have such a dark history. Doesn't that mean that the 2 hostages have already met with …
Little Red shakes her head and smiles.
"What are you all thinking about. That is because Adam is still immature and unreliable, but that doesn't mean that Big Brother Rolo is unreliable. He spent 2 days and 1 night, from the lake, from the bushes, he forcefully gathered all 4654 pieces … Perhaps, I should call them pieces. Then, he pieced them together bit by bit, forcefully finding the address. Then, he hurried through the night, exhausting 2 war horses to reach in time to save Marguerite and Lisa. After a long time, that fellow Adam then followed the traces left behind by the kidnappers to find his way here. "
"… Isn't that a little too unreliable."
"Indeed, when he saw that Marguerite and the rest are unharmed, he cried his heart out, crying like a child. After that, he learned his lesson and became much more reliable. At the very least, he knows how to plan before taking action. Alright, the story is over. Ladies, did you all understand? "
The 2 of them nod their heads, seemingly in deep thoughts, before exclaiming at the same time.
"I didn't expect foster father/City Lord to have such a dark history … Wait a minute, you still haven't told me how he broke through to Legend rank."
"Hehe, back then, while hugging everyone and crying, he swore that he would never give up on his companions and that he would protect everyone well in the future. Thus, he formed his own 'Undying Phoenix' and couldn't be killed no matter what, becoming a true cockroach."
At this moment, Little Red's face is smiling.
"Perhaps, this is really the opportunity for Marguerite to fall in love with Adam. After all, every girl has expectations towards a reliable protector."
"No." The negative answer comes from the mouth of Anne who isn't involved in the matter.
"I once asked Big Sister Marguerite why she would fall in love with foster father. In the end, Big Sister Marguerite smiled bitterly for a while and said, 'He cried too pitifully back then, thinking that if I leave him alone, he will kill himself sooner or later.' After that, I asked her about it but she refused to tell me. That 'crying too pitifully' was probably referring to this time. "
"… Feeling that she couldn't leave him alone, she kept staring at him and unknowingly fell for him? Actually, it's quite romantic. "
Diana nods her head, only to realize that everyone is looking at her in shock.
"Why? Did I say something wrong? "
"No. It's just that I didn't think that Dark Elves would have a normal view of love. "Although this is obviously the consensus of everyone, no one says it out loud. Instead, they shake their heads in unison.
"… This isn't fair." A cold voice of objection sounds from the side of the wall. It is Eliza who has been silent for a while.
"How is it not fair?"
"Clearly, it was Rolo who spent so much effort and effort to save them. Why is it that Lord Marguerite would thank Adam who was a hindrance and even fall in love with him? Obviously, Rolo is the one who should be thanked. He pieced the paper together and saved his companions in a hurry, yet he didn't receive the gratitude he deserves. It's so unfair. "
Little Red is stunned. She looks at Eliza in shock for a long while before squeezing out a sentence.
"Back then, Lisa said the same thing. Then, she pestered Rolo, but Rolo didn't agree to it. "
"Then, what happened to Lord Lisa and Lord Rolo?"
"Rolo? He disappeared and left a letter saying that he found his enemy and was going to take revenge. After that, no one knows where he went. However, his desecrated corpse was found. It is possible that he has been turned into an Undead Creature. As for Lisa … She is dead. "
"Dead?"
This time, Little Red looks at Eliza with a strange gaze.
"Yes, she died in the Undead Calamity caused by Lord Yongye. She died in the hands of one of the Four Heavenly Kings under Lord Yongye, Bone Dragon Queen Gray.Silk."
Eliza's eyebrows twitches. She doesn't know about Rolo and Adam's past, but she knows who Lord Yongye is. She wanted to say something, but since the person involved didn't pursue the matter, she doesn't have the right to interrupt.
"Why are you looking at me like that, do you have any instructions for me?"
"No, I just feel that sometimes, having a bad memory isn't necessarily a bad thing."
…
"A … Choo."
"Sister Gray.Silk, did you catch a cold too?"
"It's Gria, Gria. How can an Undead catch a cold. I am probably the same as you, being talked about by others. Un, perhaps, the Emperor is missing me! Hurry up, Ah Dang, we are almost there. "
