That day, a special guest came to Crystal City.
Prophet Medicine Put received it personally.
The prophetess in ghost armour said warmly, “Welcome to Crystal City, Your Excellency looks like a ghoul? Speaking of which, we are quite close, I am a Ghost.”
A light bulb lit up on Hobald’s head, “There are ghouls here too?”
“Not in the city.”
Medicine Put said, “There are in the Black Abyss, but that is where the gods are imprisoned. Have you ever read the epic poem Sinner of the Abyss?”
“Heard of it.”
“It is that abyss.”
The Ghost Prophet continued to speak, “But even in the Abyss, there are very few ghouls left, they have all been transformed by the Sinner’s Sea Fold into clay ghouls hunting the gods …… The ghouls as a group are gradually disappearing, it’s really sad.”
A big question mark slowly popped up on Hobbard’s brain.
“Transforming ghouls? Hunting the Gods? What exactly are you guys doing here ……”
Lu Yao ate an apple while looking at this messenger from the Ghost World.
Regardless of the backstage description or the actual performance, it was enough to prove that Hobbard’s brain was not very good. Unlike Buluo, who was good at scheming, Hobald’s abilities were all spotted on battles and troop practice.
He also focused most on these two areas.
Hobard pointed to a stretch of the city surrounded by high walls, “What is this place? There is the aura of battle.”
“That’s Crystal City’s wonders [Underground Drill Grounds], the underground trials improve the Transcendents’ combat experience, and a lot of martial practitioners further their training in there.”
Hobald requested to go in and take a look.
After coming out of the wonders, Hobard exclaimed, “…… If every warrior can undergo basic training here, it’s really just around the corner to raise a strong army.”
“A very distinguished military facility.”
He then asked, “What would it take to create such a wonder?”
Yakutake replied, “It’s a legacy from the old empire, the city guards of Crystal City are actually less in need of training and more for the use of individual Transcendents.”
The question mark on Hobald’s head increased to two, “Your army doesn’t use this drill ground? Doesn’t have to train?”
“No need.”
Medicine Put pointed diagonally ahead, “The city guards use that one.”
On the road beside them, a large wedge-shaped flower boat slowly sailed by.
“A boat that grows flowers?”
The question marks on Hobald’s head turned into three.
“The city guards do routine patrols, it’s their daily routine. Mr Hobard looks interested, then please follow me to board the ship, you’ll understand later.”The prophet led the visiting apostle into the flower boat.
This Flower Boat was configured with three Mild Green Roses and a Purple Rose that Lu Yao had not seen before. The Purple Rose was located in the centre and was even taller than the Green Rose, with thicker and fuller petals.
After sailing out of the city, the flower boat drove all the way to the edge of a rocky beach. There were wooden signs erected around this place, surrounded by wall stacks, obviously a specially arranged functional area.
In front of the rocky beach were placed huge copper rods and iron balls, such metal objects were fixed on a stone pestle.
The flower boat adjusted its body position, and the purple rose in the centre slowly lowered its head with the help of an armour-bearer, aiming its stamens at a copper pole in the distance, on which a pair of twin city armour was fixed.
The armour-bearer next to him waved a small purple triangular flag, and the armour-bearer next to the purple rose touched the flower stalk.
The purple rose trembled and violently spewed out a purple spherical stamen.
The stamen turned into a cloud of purple mist and hit the target at high speed, exploding into numerous petal fragments that floated away.
At the same time, the Twin Cities Armour on the target had shattered all over the place.
Lu Yao was shocked.
Even an ordinary Dual City Armour had a durability of 400 points.
This Purple Rose Cannon, the damage from one shot was over 400?
He clicked to check.
……
[Conqueror Purple Rose LV3
Life value: 2/3
Mana: 1/1
Damage: 199
Defence: 0
Speed: 5
[Flower Language 62 – Purple Proclamation]
A flower language spell where the purple rose uses its stamens as a jet weapon to bombard and burst the enemy, dealing massive multiple damage.
【Range LV3
……
Lu Yao instantly understood that the target’s Dual City Armour appeared to have been damaged in the first place, or else it wouldn’t have been used as a consumable.
Even so, being able to create 199 damage was very terrifying.
Just by looking at the killing power, the Purple Rose even surpassed the LV83 Blood Knight in terms of value.
Lu Yao asked Pinkman.
This Rose Old King said, “My lord, the Purple Rose is a hybrid of the Killer Black Rose and the Red Rose, it inherited the strengths of the Black Rose, becoming even thicker and strengthening its destructive nature.”
“It’s just that the weakness is also obvious. The Purple Rose needs someone to assist it from the side, stimulating it with my special rose potion, in order to perform the Flower Language Sixty-Two, spraying the stamens to cause damage.”
“Compared to the Killer Black Rose, it has a much longer growth cycle, longer intervals between attacks, and extremely slow levelling up. Although it has a longer range, it is much less accurate, complicated to operate, and requires the cooperation of other roses to bring its power to bear.”
Pinkman was a little embarrassed, “Without realising it …… has continued to dig down deeper along the path of the Black Rose.”
Lu Yao said well done, don’t be burdened.
Sometimes it’s just like that.
If you have flowers in your heart, they don’t bloom, but if you don’t have a heart, they don’t bloom.
Pinkman only wanted to revive the glory of the rose, but ended up becoming a Rose Weapon Master.
Lu Yao couldn’t help but think that maybe in the future, the rose would turn into a special biological sequence, encompassing functions such as military defence, construction and production, as well as daily life.
After seeing the Purple Rose’s cannon fire, Hobard fumed for a long time. He stood under the Flower Boat and looked at the tall and mighty Purple Rose, a double-eyed expression sprouting from the top of his head.
“The Rose, the Rose …… so beautiful.”
“The rose that conquered the world.”
“The rose of blood and fire, the indestructible rose.”
“If we can also build such a rose weapon, Lord Psi-God will definitely be invincible in battle, and no one will be able to resist our rose offensive ……”
Thoughts kept popping up on his brain.
……
Lu Yao cast his gaze towards Uda City.
Apostle Bamboo Man stood between the towering clusters of Earth Arches, a large Earthbound Boat loaded with ore sailing through the crisscrossing roads, appearing like an ant that had mistakenly entered the nest of a wild beast.
It was Apostle Zelkoukou who received Bamboo Man.
This earth magic statue introduced the visitor from the sidelines, “Uda City is a mining city that cannot be compared to other cities in terms of urban environment and comfort, but almost every city’s ore comes from Uda City. This is also our duty and advantage.”
“May I ask why I don’t see any smelting furnaces?”
Bamboo Man looked around, “Earlier, our emissary returned from Sand City and said that smelting requires a blast furnace and flame calcination in order to refine the metal embryo. But there doesn’t seem to be anything like that here?”
“Udar City doesn’t need it.”
Zelkoukou said, “The Uzis can do it with the Wu element in their bodies to dissolve the ore and parse out the higher purity metals, and furnace calcination that is a process that other races need.”
“I see, the Wu Ji race is truly a chosen race …… We Bamboo Men have a similar talent.”
While sighing, the Bamboo Man did not forget to cheer himself up in this aspect.
“Among the Yao Clan, the Uzi people only serve as one of the links.”
Zelkoukou spoke as he walked, “The Uzi focus on exploration, excavation and ore smelting. Other things such as engineering and construction, city planning, production of daily necessities, road maintenance, and planting flowers and plants …… are all performed by other groups who are good at what they do.”
“Under the illumination of Lord Yao God, the groups divided their work and co-operated with each other to create the current Uda City.”
Bamboo Man looked around for a while and then questioned, “Why does Uda City have so many Omnipotence Stones? This top-grade material is very rare, are there mineral formations all over under this city?”
“Of course not.”
The Earth Demon Statue told him, “Omnipotence Stones come from other worlds, and a portion of the Uzi tribe digs for minerals in other worlds.”
A large exclamation mark popped up above Bamboo Man’s head.
The box on his head revealed what was on his mind, “Developing other worlds as mines, the Yao Clan’s footsteps have set foot on more than one world …… and that’s just the capacity of one city.”
As an Apostle of the Bamboo Reed Kingdom, Bamboo Man endeavoured to maintain the dignity of the Divine Kingdom. However, seeing the wide array of ores in the city of Uda, he still couldn’t help but ask questions.
It was just that as a seeker of knowledge, his posture naturally became low.
His questions continued to flow, and sweaty expressions continued to surface on his head. The more he saw, the more he could appreciate the heavy pressure brought about by this magnificent city.
……
Lu Yao finally cut the screen to the people on his side.
At this time, the Mayor of Sand City, Slymod, drove a long furnace carriage into the Divine Kingdom Bonding Body and arrived at the foot of the Pillar’s Mountain.
He was met by Apostle Blow, who stood upright.
“I’m sorry to have missed you, but welcome to your guest.”
“Mr Blow is too kind.”
Slemod opened the car door and took out a wooden box from inside and handed it to the other party, “Travelling in a hurry, I also didn’t have time to prepare a suitable accompanying gift, it’s not a tribute, please don’t mind.”
“This …… you are the one who is too polite, I wouldn’t dare to accept this great gift.”
Bu Luo expressed a polite refusal.
A smiley face appeared on Slymod’s head, “In here are the magic pills that Yao City researched, [Heart Rescue Pill] and [Sleeping Agent].”
“The Drowsy Agent can make even Transcendents fall into a deep sleep, especially practical for those with pain and mental mania.”
“The Heart Rescue Pill can detoxify & inhibit many negative effects such as bleeding, weakness, confusion, etc., and is also a good medicine that is fought over in the Yao Clan.”
“Even if you can’t use it, there are other funeral clans or ghouls that keep it more or less useful.”
Bu Luo this hearing, immediately changed his words to accept the meeting gift: “This …… is really embarrassing.”
“Just a little gift that’s not worth mentioning.”
Slymod first visited Saltjou of Pillar’s Mountain, expressing his condolences and concern for him and Nongbase on behalf of the Yao God, and brought them some specialities of the Yao Clan, including [Tribal Wargames], [Sour Raspberry Jam], and [Blast Furnace Honey Wine].
Saltjou was thrilled with the condolences and an expression of old tears appeared on his head.
Then Slemurd, accompanied by Bulo, went to the Jukuro country first. Mainly, he consoled the fish goo over there, bringing it Pinkman’s exhortations, greetings and the seeds given to it, which made the little fishman excited.
It was only after finishing these that Slemod officially opened his visit to the God Country.
He said to Bloo, “Mr Bloo, before I come here this time, I would like to strengthen further exchanges and co-operation between Sand City and the two divine kingdoms.”
“Sand City hopes to formalise this in the future, so that the Phantom Ghost Realm and the Bamboo Reed Kingdom can also participate in the Sand City process. The two great divine kingdoms can participate in the Martial Arts Conference that takes place every five years, enjoying the qualifications and power to compete and win.”
“Of course, one can also challenge the Eighteen Calamity Beasts if one is so inclined, and the associated additional rewards have remained unchanged so far.”
“If there are talents recognised by the Divine Kingdom, they can also be recommended to Sand City for extended further training and exchanges, and the various industries in Sand City also welcome foreign talents.”
“Sand City will also send a portion of them to the two divine kingdoms to learn about the local customs and history, in order to increase the cultural thickness of the Yao Race itself. ……”
Slymod paused, “I have obtained permission from Lord Yao God that Sand City will further open up to the outside world and officially allow talents from friendly and cooperative god kingdoms to come and settle here on a long-term basis. Sand City respects the customs and habits of every resident and will not ask for any changes to the gods’ beliefs.”
“I don’t know what Mr Buluo thinks?”
