Zeratul's eyes flickered when he saw the precious gift that I suddenly took out. But after hesitating for a while, he couldn't reject such a significant gift. From a certain perspective, a few of these seeds were far more precious than the 'Artifact' that they inherited from Sarnaga.
Zeratul carefully placed the tiny seeds on his body. Then he asked Liliana how to use these 'holy seeds'. Such a magical creation, you can't just put it in a flower pot, right?
Uncle Z, who was two meters tall, bowed respectfully to a little loli who was only half his height and addressed her as' Holy Priestess'. This scene was full of all kinds of comical feelings ….
Liliana didn't hesitate and immediately waved her hands. "En, I don't have many requirements. These things are very easy to grow! When you plant them, bury them deep, and you don't need to water them. You don't have to water it, and you don't have to loosen the soil. You can use farm manure or not. Keep it at -200 to -1000 degrees Celsius as the best temperature for germination. It's resistant to acid, alkali, drought, and wind, and it's best not to build a house near it. You don't have to worry about anything else other than the noise you make when you pluck the leaves … Yes, there's one thing. Although it can break down the Zergs into their basic elements, it's best to wait until the number of Zergs on the planet drops to a certain level before planting the seeds. The Zergs aren't stupid. If they discover the seeds and launch a massive attack … there's a limit to Plants vs Zombies … Oh, also, I've given them an order to purify all the Zergs on the planet and establish the optimal ecological conditions for the planet before they wither and die. Therefore, you don't have to panic if they die, it's very normal. You can collect the new seeds at the place where you planted them. Soak them in water for thirty minutes and they'll recover! "
This was the first time I heard this from Liliana. In the past, only the Druids were interested in these magical seeds of life. How should I put it …
No wonder it was Dingdang who provided the embryo, it was as easy to raise as that little goddess who could be coaxed for half a day with a piece of jelly bean …
If I was only a little surprised and ridiculed in my mind, Zeratul's feelings could only be described as horrified.
"It's that simple?!" Uncle Z almost shouted, "This holy seed … can take root so easily?!"
"Nonsense." Liliana rolled her eyes impatiently. "It's the end of the world, who has the time to fast, bathe, and change clothes? Everything used to save the world is operated by an idiot! Anyway, that's what my goddess said … "
Alright, don't mention that unreliable goddess of yours.
After Zeratul put away the seed and quickly regained his composure, I said in an unconcerned tone, "You can use the seed as you please, but I have a small request — — Of course, if you are unwilling, I can't do anything about it."
"Of course, to accept such a precious gift, I will give my strength to a generous friend." Uncle Z said in a solemn tone.
"Well, it's actually the artifact that you brought up here …" I hesitated for a moment before revealing my motive. "Of course, I just wanted to take a look at it out of curiosity. You have already seen our power. To us, a mysterious' holy artifact 'from a long time ago isn't worth spying on. Of course, if this involves your beliefs or something taboo, then forget it. Can I take a look at it?"
Zeratul didn't hesitate this time. His eyes flashed and he nodded. "Of course you can. Emperor of the Schilling people, please forgive me for being cautious in the beginning. But now, this artifact can be displayed in front of you."
As Zeratul said that, he took out a golden alloy cylinder that was only as long as a forearm and as thick as an egg. He handed it to me.
I didn't lie to Zeratul. I was quite interested in this so-called ancient artifact. Let's not talk about the background information related to the Proteus religion. Just the fact that an inferior civilization's creation could affect the Empire's teleportation positioning system was enough for me to be interested in it.
The golden alloy cylinder emitted a very faint hissing sound, and then several arc-shaped bright marks suddenly appeared on its surface. Following these marks, the metal cylinder gradually opened, and then a purple hexagonal object floated out.
What material is this?
I observed it curiously. It wasn't metal and it didn't have the transparent texture of crystal. It was obviously a third type of unfamiliar material that didn't belong to the two mentioned above. It was less than twenty centimeters long and as thick as a pigeon's egg. The surface of the hexagonal prism was covered with very fine golden patterns, but it obviously didn't have any meaning that I could understand. It seemed to have the ability to sense energy. After it was released, the golden patterns on it had been constantly glowing. However, it didn't have any energy of its own — I was completely sure of this.
"Scanning found no identifiable structure. The target is a single tissue form."
The voice of the mothership's mainframe sounded directly in my mind. As expected, it was the same as the result of the previous scan through the metal cylinder. This "artifact" didn't have any internal structure at all. It was a solid lump, but it had an incredible … beacon function.
So, what is it a beacon for?
"It is indeed a very interesting thing." After looking at it for a long time, or rather letting the mothership scan it for a long time, there was no result. I could only let the mothership first record the material composition of this thing and then return the golden cylinder to Zeratul's hands. "Return it to its original owner."
Zeratul put away the cylinder and nodded slightly at us. "Then, perhaps it's time to say goodbye. My journey is far from over."
I had the intention to make him stay. "You're leaving now? Don't you want to stay for a meal? Let's drink a cup or two … "
Before I could finish my sentence, Liliana had already started to use her small fist to drill into my waist. Speaking of which, how could a one-meter-tall little guy have so much strength!?
"Boss, you have to be more reliable when you speak!"
Liliana's exasperated voice sounded in my mind. Tsk, is it wrong to speak the truth?
However, Zeratul still left in the end. He carried too many heavy missions, so he couldn't be bound to one place by anything. Perhaps it was as he said, his journey was far from over. There were still many things waiting for him to do. Anyway, I didn't understand that bunch of weird theories of his. In the end, together with his dozens of followers, this strong Dark Templar once again embarked on his own journey.
Before he left, he mentioned his next step in his plan. The first step was to bring these seeds to Shakuras and hand them over to his compatriots. They could use these things to purify a few planets that had recently been discovered to be infected by the Zerg. Then, he would head into the depths of the universe to search for the "revelation of his own destiny". I felt that he just needed to make a phone call to Lin Xue …
"Speaking of which, those Protean scientists wouldn't dismantle our shuttle, would they?"
Looking at the bright spot in the distance that flashed by, I suddenly had such a worry. Because the spaceship that we had come in had been discovered and destroyed by the Zerg, Zeratul had borrowed one of our anti-phase shuttles when he left. This type of spaceship, which could stay in the anti-phase state forever after being activated, was definitely a high-tech gadget that even the Proteans couldn't understand. Even though it was extremely stupid to operate.
Liliana unceremoniously rolled her eyes at me. "Do you think that the aliens are like your big family that didn't leave?"
I was ridiculed by this evil fellow again. What was worse was that I couldn't refute her at all!
After sending all the data collected on Planet Warts to Tawil's research center, we returned to the main base on Planet Black Egg. The Spellcasters from other worlds had almost finished assembling.
After teleporting to the landing point on the ground, I immediately saw Mage Murrow, who was leading a large group of Mages to welcome us.
Ever since we parted ways in the Verdis Empire, we hadn't seen each other for almost a year. I didn't expect that our second meeting with this Mage from another world would be in the base of the Empire on a foreign planet. This … was really a troublesome plot to unfold.
"Yo! Long time no see, Murrow. "
After walking out of the teleportation light, I greeted Murrow from afar.
"Alright, Your Majesty the Emperor, I admit that I'm really scared this time …" The Emperor said with a smile.
Murrow was roused from his deep thoughts. He was startled at first, but then a smile appeared on his face as he said to me without any pretense.
"'Witness my insignificance and the shallowness of humans'. To be honest, what the female mage named Jaina told me was the truth. If I didn't come to the frontlines of your empire, I'm afraid I'd still be immersed in the narrow world of humans. The more I know, the more I realize how shortsighted I was …"
Murrow had a smile on his face. However, halfway through his words, he was interrupted by a slender but powerful fist that flew over from the side. "If you're done lamenting, then return to the team! Do you want to embarrass the people of the Verdis Empire in front of the allied armies of other worlds?! "
Err … Speaking of which, it seemed that Novia had kicked Murrow right in front of me the last time we met?
"Long time no see," I greeted the long-haired Magic Swordsman in red knight armor. Then, I couldn't help but think of the other member of the 'Superman Trio'. "Speaking of which, is Murrow here? If we're talking about spellcasters, he should have been sent here as well. "
"He … Alright." Novia's expression slightly twisted. "Blood Elf … That's what the White Elves in the World of Azeroth call themselves. A female Blood Elf Magister has successfully bewitched our Chief Priest. I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but once the free spirit of the Elves and their stubbornness fuse together, even a magic knight wouldn't be able to pull him back …"
I was rendered speechless.
Alright, this could be considered good news. At least mages from different worlds could coexist peacefully. However, wasn't this kind of love that transcended time and space a little too melodramatic?
Besides, speaking of the Chief Priest of the Goddess of Life, I wonder who is more authentic between Liliana and Murrow. Suddenly, such an irrelevant thought popped up in my mind.
"Where do you think Murrow and that Blood Elf girl intend to buy a house? Recently, the property prices in Silvermoon City aren't high, but other things in the Blood Elves' territory aren't cheap … Can you guys get a mortgage in Verdis? If there's a person from another world in the couple, they should at least get some welfare benefits … "
Needless to say, other than Shallow Shallow, there was no one else who could think in such a unique way.
"You guys came here yesterday? You sure got used to this place quickly. "
I recalled that it was only yesterday morning when Sandora informed me that the spellcasters from other worlds had arrived. I wasn't sure if it was because the mages from Verdis had strong mental fortitude, but the large group of mages behind Murrow seemed to be in an orderly formation. To be able to get used to the mysterious scenery in General City in just one day, their adaptability was quite good.
Novia turned around and looked at the archmage squad that was still standing ramrod straight like new recruits undergoing inspection. Then, she leaned closer and whispered, "Of course, I'm surprised and curious. However, we are now representing a world. In front of the warriors from other worlds, we can't lose face for our own world. Also, I've chatted with the warriors from Azeroth. You guys … are existences that I can't even imagine. We always thought that the battles we experienced were enough to be recorded in the books of history. I didn't expect that it was just a normal battle for you guys. Fighting in such an army, no matter who it is, they should understand their own position."
Novia was right. Standing here, everyone should know their own position.
In fact, perhaps it was because they had never experienced the scale of the World of Azeroth, nor had they organized an alliance of various races like the "Salvation Army". When they arrived at the frontlines of the Empire yesterday, the human mages from the Verdis Empire really had some pride as the "top human beings". It wasn't that they didn't know what kind of place this was. It was just that the habits they had developed made them unable to adapt to the sudden change from heroes to soldiers. These people were originally all-powerful existences that could even make the rulers of their own countries lower their heads. Now that you asked them to walk in the Empire's barracks … Naturally, there would be one or two hot-tempered fellows who would jump out to challenge the authority of their instructor. This was also to show off their strength in front of the mages from other worlds. Was this considered patriotism in a certain sense?
If the Azeroth Salvation Army was considered a well-trained regular army, then these mages from the Verdis Empire should be considered as the heroes that were gathered from the martial world. They had the strength, but they were not very obedient.
Anyway, two or three fellows who wanted to stand out were defeated by their Raven instructors in just a second … Then they understood the absolute universal truth in this place: In an ultimate army where even the new recruits had to start from the level of a mage, it was best to tuck their tails between their legs if they didn't have the strength of an Archmage or above.
At this time, Sandora walked out of the teleportation beam not far away. First, she giggled like a fool and rubbed her head against my body. Then, she turned around and sternly ordered the new recruits from the Verdis Empire. "Tomorrow at this time, follow your respective Raven instructors to get your new power armors. Also, remember that the instructors told you how dangerous the universe is. Don't think that your magic shields can survive in vacuum and radiation for too long. Dismissed!"
"They are really obedient."
Looking at the obedient dispersing mages, I tilted my head slightly and whispered into Sandora's ear. She intimately rubbed her head against my cheek and muttered, "There were a few who didn't listen, so Raven trained them harshly. Compared to them, these impromptu troops really can't compare to the Azeroth Salvation Army that has gone through rigorous training … Oh right, the English Puritan mages have just arrived. After testing, although the magic they use is unique, the nature of their magic power is the same. Their destructive power against the insectoids is just as shocking. However, their numbers are relatively small, and they don't seem to have any blood in them. After all, this isn't an apocalyptic world where the flames of war are everywhere. I don't really trust the soldiers that Zola sent over."
"Relax, the bloodshed in the dark of the Forbidden World is definitely not much gentler than the real battlefield. However, when it comes to fighting the insectoids in space … Forget it, I'll go take a look. Who's leading them?"
"Steele, God's Split, err … and Rolla."
Rolla came over too?
I was slightly surprised. If it was Steele and God's Split who came over, I could still accept it. However, that vixen Rolla … As the leader of the English Puritan Church, is it really alright for her to leave her post?
The temporary base of the English Puritan Church was just beside the Azeroth Frontline Army. It wasn't too far from here. Bubble had built a large-scale Church District here so that these warriors who were far away from home could have a sense of belonging. Naturally, there were similar things in the nearby Church District. Elven Tree Houses, Human Houses, Beastman Caves and even two large ponds …
A few Mermaid Arcanists who were sitting safely in a specially-made Single Soldier Mech forcefully walked past me …
I wonder if Rolla and the others were frightened by the messy 'monsters' in this place.
The moment I entered the main gate of the Church District, the first thing that entered my eyes was the red-haired delinquent priest Steele who was standing in front of the fountain like a human sign. He was two meters tall.
"Yo! Steele, long time no see! "
I patted Steele's shoulder fiercely from behind. Then, I called out to him unexpectedly.
The other party replied in a muffled voice, "I say, at the very least, as a 'God', you should at least do something befitting of your identity, alright!?"
"Tsk, so I was exposed a long time ago."
I shrugged my shoulders nonchalantly. Then, I extinguished the cigarette in Steele's mouth. "Every single bit of air here belongs to the Empire, which also means that it belongs to me. If you continue to smoke, I will implement a rationing system for you."
"… You tyrant!" The veins on Steele's forehead flashed before his shoulders slumped. "Speaking of which, how should I address you now? Lord God? Lord God's Envoy? Mr. Savior? King of the Human World? Or His Majesty the Emperor … Heavens, just how many more secrets do you have! Just now, we saw a group of legendary elves racing in the public square outside! "
