[Part 3]
The water fox was in a daze. The cage had cracked open and the electric current controlling it was still there, but it had lost its senses.
"Why do you have this thing?"
Salin understood the water fox's words and replied, "Because I'm a mage, not a believer of the Goddess. In the coming days, I want you to pretend to be a clone of the Goddess. Can you do it? "
"Yes, but why!" The water fox was extremely depressed. If it wanted to pretend to be a clone of the Goddess, it would not be difficult at all. With this statue, it could be done. The mage in front of it was probably a blasphemer.
If it had known that he was a blasphemer, it wouldn't have resisted. Now, even its soul was being controlled. Elemental creatures could cultivate souls not only because of their strength, but also because of the luck of their race. In its race, among tens of thousands of individuals, there might only be one who could cultivate a soul.
Elemental creatures could advance faster with a soul. Otherwise, they would be stuck at one rank for the rest of their lives. Elemental creatures that cultivated souls with great difficulty would usually hide to avoid being discovered by powerful creatures. Elemental creatures were the best creatures to contract, unable to resist the rules of any contract.
As soon as its soul was born, it was captured by Myers and locked in this cage. It had a lot of resentment towards Goddess Myers, but the Goddess didn't use any magic to refine it or subdue it. Instead, she placed it in this temple and began to wait for a long time.
When it saw Salin, it thought that he was a believer of the Goddess, so its attitude was bad. It didn't expect Salin to be so daring as to let it pretend to be a clone of the Goddess.
The water fox's soul was being controlled. It could even feel that if Salin wanted to, he could erase its memory at any time and make its soul completely blank. Wouldn't that be even more terrifying?
Thinking of this, the water fox obediently walked out of the cage and entered the space where the Goddess' heart was. Salin smiled. In the space of the goddess' heart, the water fox tried to control the statue, but found that it couldn't move at all.
"You have to be patient," Salin said. He installed a green mud stone on the statue of the Goddess and poured a large amount of divine power into it.
"Use it sparingly. Use your magic skills during normal battles." Salin said and pointed to the floating Divine Spark on the altar in the temple. "Go get it, then we'll leave."
The statue could only move after absorbing the divine power. The water fox asked, "Why don't you sign a contract with me?"
"I have to give you some freedom and hope. Otherwise, how can you work for me? By the way, from now on, you will be called Myers. "
Water Fox nodded, turned around, and walked towards the gate of the temple. The surface of her body glowed with green divine light. She slowly passed through the seal formed by countless divine characters and entered the hall.
She looked back at Sarin, who was smiling at her. The Water Fox thought to himself, What if I don't leave? Would it be able to escape the mage's control?
Just as he thought of this, the broken jade in the depths of his soul released an electric current. Water Fox's body suddenly rolled around in the statue of Goddess Myers, his heart filled with sorrow. This mage even said that he would give him freedom. His method of controlling souls was more terrifying than any contract!
He helplessly reached out to the Godhood and slowly held it in his hand. This Godhood was originally prepared for the believers of the Goddess. Water Fox was now parasitized in the statue, and his whole body was wrapped in the goddess' divine power. He really did feel like a clone of the Goddess. Taking the Godhood didn't cause any reaction from the divine spells in the temple.
Salin watched the Water Fox walk out of the temple and was delighted. He didn't say anything more, took the Godhood, and put it in his ring.
This temple was basically prepared for believers. Salin wanted to dismantle it, but he didn't dare to. This was because the temple was interconnected. If he dismantled any one of them, it would cause a spatial chain reaction, and he wouldn't be able to leave.
On the way back, Salin carefully searched all the storerooms, as well as the space under the altar. He really did find some materials, which were used to forge faith tools, which were materials for believers to use. Salin took them without hesitation. Water Fox asked curiously, "That …"
"My name is Salin. You can call me Your Highness. I am the king of the Metatlin Kingdom."
"Your Highness, since you are not a believer, why did you take these things?"
"Because I want to establish the Druidic Order and bring Myers back to life," Salin replied.
Water Fox's hand trembled. Salin smiled and said to Water Fox, "Don't be afraid. Even if the Goddess comes back to life, she won't live for long. She won't kill a substitute like you."
Water Fox, of course, knew the Goddess' plan. That was why she thought that Salin couldn't do anything to her, so she contradicted him. Hearing Salin's words, Water Fox felt a little relieved that this mage would go against the Goddess in the future.
She wasn't afraid of pretending to be the Goddess, but she was afraid that the Goddess would come after her resurrection.
Outside the pool, Sika and the others were waiting for Salin in the Elemental Magic Tower. They waited for six days. But there was still no sign of Salin coming out. Sika was anxious and wanted to go down to the pool to take a look, but Nelis stopped her.
But Sika was unwilling, so Nelis could only summon the Magic Bug and sink it into the pool. When the Magic Bug entered the cold water, it immediately froze to death. Only then did Sika give up on the idea of going down.
In the forest, Nelis had already arranged for the Demons to hide. In the last day, there had been hundreds of battles. At first, it was still Agares's people, but later, the local nobles of Cloud Flow City took the initiative to send small troops to investigate.
Everyone noticed the Demons in the mountains and thought of the Demon Legion of the Metatlin Kingdom.
The appearance of the Demon Legion here made the nobles excited. They didn't have much of a concept of the Metatlin Kingdom. They only knew that His Majesty the Emperor had sent troops to attack Great Liang City and lost because the Metatlin Kingdom had helped Bitter Water Prefecture.
Originally, Nelis did not mind these small troops. Even if they were very strong, their strength would be greatly reduced in the mountainous area. And her own Demon Legion wouldn't be affected by the terrain at all. Under extreme conditions, the Demons could even fight in water and fire.
But on the sixth day, a powerful flying magic beast appeared in the sky. A few Sword Saints peeped down from the magic beast. After Eleanor shot down one of them with an arrow, they retreated.
Nelis caught this Sword Saint and didn't interrogate him much before he confessed.
These people were from the Grant Family. It was a huge force in Cloud Flow City. Its status was higher than that of the Iron Blood Grand Duke, and it controlled most of the southeast region.
This happened to be the edge of the Grant Family's control. The family had already sent out real experts and were on their way. These Black Iron Sword Saints riding flying magic beasts were just spies.
Nelis wasn't afraid of fighting. On her side, the weakest was a Level Nine Warrior. No matter how strong the enemy was, they had to be much stronger to decide the outcome. But the master hadn't come out yet. If the transmission array was destroyed, it would be terrible.
Nelis said to the captured Sword Saint, "You mean, the Grand Duke of Gartan came personally?"
"Yes, the Grand Duke is a Level Ten Sword Saint. You'd better surrender."
Although this Black Iron Sword Saint had no backbone and confessed without torture, he didn't forget to brag about his Lord's strength. And he wanted to persuade Nelis to surrender, which made Nelis not know whether to laugh or cry. Cloud Flow City's temper was really …
Nelis waved her hand. Sue understood and used sword energy to seal the Sword Saint's power. Only then did Nelis summon demonic insects to surround the Sword Saint. More and more demonic insects appeared, finally forming a pile of insects. The Cloud Flow Sword Saint only revealed his head, which looked a little funny and a little scary.
Nelis sat down and faced the pale Cloud Flow Sword Saint, saying, "Less nonsense. Tell me, what is that?"
"The Grand Duke of Gartan!"
"Yes, the Grand Duke of Gartan, how many experts does he have? Speak for me. If there is anything I'm not satisfied with, I'll let these insects drill into your body through every hole and leave you with only a piece of human skin. Do you understand?"
There were dozens of insects in front of the Cloud Flow Sword Saint looking at him. These insects' bodies were smooth and flowing with mucus. The structure of the eyes on the top of their heads was complicated, but their mouths were sharp, so it was easy to distinguish them. The Sword Saint nodded in horror, not daring to say any more nonsense.
"Speak!" Nelis couldn't stand people without a backbone. A demonic insect pounced on the Sword Saint's face, scaring him into crying out.
Nelis was so angry that she wanted to stab him to death. Shika patted Nelis's shoulder and said, "I'll ask."
"From now on, I ask, you answer. If anything goes wrong, she'll be the one to interrogate you." Shika pointed at Nelis and said, "Understood?"
The demonic insect slid off the Cloud Flow Sword Saint's face. The Cloud Flow Sword Saint still had lingering fear, but he nodded and said, "I will."
"The Grand Duke of Gartan is in the True Martial Realm?"
The Sword Saint was shocked. Using the True Martial to describe a warrior's realm, the other party knew a lot! "Yes, the Grand Duke is level 10."
"How many people did he bring?"
"Not including us, six hundred."
"Is there anyone difficult to deal with?" Shika asked concisely.
The Sword Saint thought about it and said, "The Grand Duke is very strong. At my level, the Grand Duke doesn't need a weapon, he can kill me with one finger. He has twelve mages with him, and this time he brought six. There's also a new Magic Shooter, who's very strong. "
"All seven are Magic Shooters?"
"There's a Magister, a mage who defected to the Grand Duke," the Sword Saint answered honestly. He didn't dare to play word games. A few of the demonic insects were not very obedient, and they burrowed into his pants.
"Level 10 Magister?"
"Yes, although he just advanced, this guy has a powerful magic amplification device."
After the Sword Saint said this, the demonic insects stopped burrowing into his pants and stopped moving. The Sword Saint secretly rejoiced. If he played any tricks, he would probably be ravaged by the demonic insects.
"You said that the Grand Duke of Gartan brought seven mages, then the remaining six hundred people are all like you?"
