Mithril?
As if thinking of something, Søren immediately took out a piece of silver-white metal from his extradimensional space.
This was a trophy he once obtained from the laboratory of a demigod Lich. Mithril was a very high-end alchemy material, and many legendary spellcasters would have a little of it. However, this amount was generally not a lot. The piece in Søren's hand was not small, but in fact, it may be less than 100 grams. To describe Mithril in one sentence, it was "as light as a feather and as hard as steel." In the Underdark, even the price of diamonds was far less than Mithril.
"Do you think this will be enough for a while?"
Søren handed the Mithril in his hand to Gloria in front of him and said slowly, "I can get the rest done right away. Give me about three days."
Gloria reached out and took the Mithril, and immediately said, "This is enough for us to use for a week."
"There are also some leftover materials in the arcane tower. There is no problem in completing the large floating ring at the bottom first. But if we want to make a real floating space tower, then we must build a medium-sized energy barrier. "
The floating island was not a success when it flew.
An arcane floating island had many supporting facilities, including long-range weapons, melee defense puppets, and energy protection systems.
Once the floating island flew, the wind was particularly strong.
Not to mention anything else, just the strong wind at high altitude, without the protection of an energy shield, your hairstyle for the day would basically be finished.
So in order to protect your hairstyle, the floating island needed at least a wind barrier.
An energy protection barrier.
The city of Mordor already had the corresponding technology. The energy shield over the city was an example, but it mobilized the power of the Great Temple.
Now they just needed to transfer the energy supply to the [Elemental Furnace].
"Okay."
"I'll leave now."
Søren had always pursued efficiency. After explaining the rest of the things, he immediately opened a portal to the mainland.
If he wanted to get Mithril, he could only go to the Underdark.
However.
The Underdark was not a place that was easy to enter. Søren did not dare to provoke the Drows for the time being because the Queen of Spiders had come down. If he were to encounter her, he would be unlucky. Therefore, Søren's target was the Duergar in the Underdark. During his last exploration, he had already discovered a city controlled by the Duergar. There was a Mithril ore vein underneath the city. Judging by the time, the Divine Artifact level Mithril Chainmail should be completed soon.
Søren wanted to see if he could steal it.
As for facing them head-on, it was impossible. No matter how strong a Saint was, there was a limit. If he was surrounded by a group of Dwarven Mages, he would definitely be exhausted to death.
…
Meanwhile.
On the third floor of the Bottomless Abyss, the Gulumba Arena, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly began to move.
During this period of time.
Although the Gulumba Arena had a new Demon Lord, the outside world did not know much about it, and there were not many changes. That was to say, there were more neutral demons nearby than before. Gulumba Arena had expanded its business to many places in the [Forgotten Land] on the third floor of the Bottomless Abyss. Even the two Secondary Demon Lords spent money to hire Demonic Mercenaries from Gulumba Arena during the civil war some time ago. Now that the bloody war was almost over, many Demonic Mercenaries began to accept other orders.
This time, the Gulumba Arena made a big move.
Not only the [Beheader] - Sauron's personal guards were dispatched, but even the nearby Demonic Mercenaries also followed suit.
Sauron's target was a Secondary Soul Demon Lord.
In the second wave of the Avatar Crisis, many Secondary Demon Lords carried out tentative attacks on the Material Plane, but the strength they invested was different. The Secondary Demon Lord that Sauron attacked this time was the one who teleported a large number of his army to the Material Plane during the second wave of the Avatar Crisis.
This Secondary Demon Lord's luck was not good!
He teleported to the vicinity of the Elf Forest. Although he obtained a lot of loot, he was soon counterattacked by the Elf Ranger.
In the end, the Demon Army he brought out was almost wiped out, and his avatar was also beheaded once.
The territory of this Demon Lord was very close to the Gulumba Arena, so after learning the news, Sauron made a prompt decision to summon the army to launch an attack on this Soul Demon Lord.
At this time, if he did not eliminate the opponent and take the opportunity to expand his territory, would he wait for him to recover his strength?
The Bottomless Abyss was cruel.
Since he dared to go to the Material Plane to plunder, he must be prepared to be destroyed by other Demon Lords if the plunder failed.
"Sir Lord!"
"The army has been assembled! Charon the Assassin has been sent out! There will be news soon. "
The Goblin Demon Warlock Tebbi followed Sauron with a flattering face. He should be one of the most intelligent high-grade fighters under Sauron's command, so his status had recently risen much faster than other high-grade demons.
During this time, Sauron had been recruiting men!
Now, he had a powerful Assassin under his command, which was more dangerous than a legendary Rogue. If Sauron was not strong enough, he might not be able to suppress him at all.
"Ok."
"Very good! You go and prepare the portal! "
Sauron looked up at the sky and said in a deep voice, "We will launch a surprise attack when it's dark!"
Standing beside Sauron were two beautiful high-grade Succubus. One was the lady boss of the Furnace Tavern, and the other was a newly recruited high-grade freshman Succubus. It was said that this freshman Succubus was very favored by the Demon Lord Sauron. After just one night of serving, her status had skyrocketed. She was already Sauron's right-hand man, and she was even above the Succubus lady boss who had followed him earlier.
Originally, this was not a big deal.
But what was strange was that the Succubus, who had always liked to compete for favor, did not have any infighting this time. The Succubus lady boss did not have any temper in front of the new favorite of the Demon Lord Sauron. It seemed that she was completely willing to be under the other party. This could not help but make the other high-grade demons amazed. Many high-grade demons looked at the freshman Succubus more highly because of this.
As the Gulumba Arena, which was inclined towards Order, many Succubus had gathered here recently because of the chaos in the Bottomless Abyss.
Because the Succubus Queen had gone missing.
The Glory Sisters who led the Succubus army in the Bottomless Abyss seemed to have fallen into an infighting. Without a strong protection, the Succubus could easily become the wealth that other Demon Lords fought for.
Therefore, many Succubus in the [Forgotten Land] hoped to be protected in the Gulumba Arena.
Now, there were almost fifty to sixty Succubus in the territory.
The Avatar Crisis was an opportunity.
This opportunity was not only in the material plane, but also in the Bottomless Abyss.
Failure to attack the material plane meant paying a painful price, and this loss in the fierce Bottomless Abyss meant that one would become the prey of other Demon Lords.
Sauron had never thought of attacking the material plane from the beginning to the end.
He was waiting for the arrival of the second wave of impact. At that time, there would be Demon Lords who would fail, and these failures would be the targets that he needed to eliminate to preserve his strength.
…
South Coast, Narod's Land.
It was about a hundred kilometers away from Port Tylon. It was originally a rich place on the South Coast, but now it had turned into ruins.
It belonged to the border territory of the Principality of Rossard.
At present, the Principality of Rossard fell into the control of the Duke Of Red Dragon's wife. Although she had lost the war with the Pirate King Søren, it did not mean that she was not strong enough. It was just that the legendary Pirate King was too terrifying.
The Avatar Crisis naturally would not be lenient to the Principality of Rossard.
In the second wave of impact, the Principality of Rossard also suffered heavy losses. Although the Duke Of Red Dragon's wife continuously fought against the Greater Demons, many cities and towns in the Principality were razed to the ground. Now that the mainland was riddled with holes, the interior of the Principality of Rossard could not be pacified, and no one cared about these border areas.
Just like that, Narod was forgotten.
The Demons were not the culprits who brought them destruction, but the traces of the Devils hidden among them were the real culprits!
The cities and towns were destroyed.
Although the Paladins of the [Scorching Heart] had saved a lot of people, they weren't the protectors of the secular world. After eliminating the remaining devils, these Paladins with lofty ideals were summoned back by the church.
The Demons had been eliminated.
The Devils were also nowhere to be seen for the time being.
However, the damaged homes that were left behind still needed these survivors to rebuild. The Paladins could protect them, but the Church was unable to provide relief to the victims. The Principality of Rossard was in constant internal strife and had no energy to take care of these poor people.
As a result, these survivors faced a new problem of survival in this time of shortage.
They lacked food!
To live, they had to eat. Only by living could there be a future.
Night fell.
In the darkness, two figures were approaching the seaside.
"Is it here?"
One of the handsome young men looked around and said slowly, "The Church said that there are believers of evil gods spreading their faith nearby."
"These evil people must be judged!"
A Paladin.
And it was a young Paladin.
Whether a Saint Samurai was old or young wasn't just a matter of their age. It could be judged from their tone of voice.
"Shh."
"Don't alarm the enemy, we need to observe first."
"Because in addition to the Demon Lord [Dagon], the believers of the Sea Goddess seem to have been active nearby recently."
The one who spoke was a middle-aged clergyman.
A person who dedicated his life to the gods, this kind of person often did not marry and have children in his life.
The two gradually approached the seaside.
Then, they saw a bonfire, and there were many people sitting around it. They could smell the aroma of food from afar. Next to the bonfire was a beautiful woman in a priest's robe, and there were cold-faced warriors patrolling nearby. There seemed to be something lurking in the sea further away, and the smell made the clergyman feel very dangerous!
"Disaster has come!"
"Our world will face the attack of the Devils! Only by believing in the Sea Goddess can we be protected! … "
"The sea has endless treasures! … "
"Food! … Wealth! … Status! … "
"Your nobles don't care about your lives! … Your kingdom has abandoned you! Those seemingly glorious churches don't care about you at all! They used to take your offerings, but now they're watching you starve to death! … "
"The Sea Goddess is merciful! … "
"She saved you from the terrible demon [Dagon]! Now she even gives you food! … "
"As long as you believe in and serve her devoutly! … "
"Then the Sea Goddess will give you everything you want! … "
…
"Look at the nobles who rule you! Think about giving up your kingdom! … "
"Only the Sea Goddess accepted you! … "
…
A burst of rhythmic voices came, and some of the refugees around the bonfire fell into deep thought, but more of them stared at the big pot in front of them.
Kelp, fresh fish, and a lot of fish were simmering in it for a long time.
The long-term hunger made the refugees have no energy to think so much. If it were not for the fear of the patrolling warriors, they would have started to fight for it.
The preaching continued.
The priest in a robe in the center kept talking about how the nobles, churches, and kingdoms were despicable and shameless. At the same time, he kept preaching the mercy and greatness of the Sea Goddess to these refugees.
At the same time, he kept mentioning the name [Dagon], which made many of the refugees nearby show fear.
"These damn cultists!"
The young paladin listened for a while and was angry. It seemed that he wanted to rush out, but he was quickly stopped by the middle-aged clergyman next to him.
"Don't be impulsive." The middle-aged clergyman shook his head.
The young paladin seemed to listen to him. After a moment of silence, he said, "Then we should go back and report this to the church immediately?"
The middle-aged clergyman heard the words and looked into the distance.
A large group of sallow and emaciated refugees gathered around the bonfire. Some of the surviving children were already skinny. A trace of pity appeared in his eyes, and he slowly said, "No need."
"The church is guarding against the demon lord [Dagon]."
"It is not suitable to fight the Sea Goddess now! And, even if we defeat them! What about these refugees? "
"Who will help them?"
"The church is no longer able to help the refugees in the south coast! … "
"Sigh."
"The Sea Goddess seems to only want to spread her faith among these people, and not spread evil, chaos, and slaughter like [Dagon]."
"At present, the most important thing for the church is to eliminate the demonized cultists! … "
"These refugees are taken in by the Sea Goddess. At least they won't starve to death. In the future, if there is a demon attack, the Sea Goddess will also protect these poor mortals."
"This is better than them starving to death! … "
The young paladin was stunned.
He felt that what the clergyman said was very reasonable, but it seemed to be a bit contrary to the doctrine because the Sea Goddess was an evil god.
For the first time, reality, ideals, and beliefs clashed violently. The young paladin did not know whether the elder he had always respected was right or not, so he felt very confused at the moment.
*****！
The education he received in the past was being impacted by reality, and for the first time, he knew about compromise.
Compromise with evil for justice!
He was now very confused. If he could take this step, he might become an old paladin and become the most solid force to protect justice.
But if he failed, he was afraid that he would be lost in faith!
…
In the future, it will be combined into chapters, about 4000 to 5000 words.
