Noticing Ma Wei's subtle expression, Buggy asked expressionlessly.
I don't know if it was an illusion or something else, but his face looked full of gloom in Ma Wei's eyes.
"Why are not you talking?"
Buggy came closer, almost face to face with Ma Wei, and asked softly: "What are you thinking about?"
"leave me alone!"
Ma Wei took a step back and shouted sternly: "It's my turn to ask you this! What on earth do you want to do by destroying the defensive formation of the Ancient Holy Land?!"
"Isn't this the path you chose?" Buggy looked confused, but his eyes were full of fierceness: "You obviously chose it, but you want to blame me?"
"No! You are the one who is leading me to choose this route!"
Ma Wei felt that his head was a little swollen, as if his emotions were out of control: "You are the same as Dambala! You both want to use the crystal tree core left behind in the ancient holy land to shape your body, right?!"
Buggy suddenly stopped talking and started laughing in a ghastly manner. He smiled and his figure suddenly twisted and spun around before disappearing.
Ma Wei's vision went dark. When he woke up again, he found himself lying on the ground with a splitting headache. Levin and others were looking at him nervously.
Buggy is here too.
"What's wrong with me?"
"You have been hit by the defensive magic of the Ancient Holy Land." Bagji said: "The first layer of defensive magic circle has two layers of mechanisms. If it is destroyed by force, a magic medium will be emitted, which is made of blood sand and crystal tree core.
It will cause hallucinations... When you were in a coma, you were talking nonsense."
"What did I say?"
"Brother, you..." Levin and Daniel looked at each other and said hesitantly, "Brother, you said Buggy is suspicious and you want to get rid of him immediately..."
It's really just like in the hallucination.
Ma Wei coughed and asked the question in his mind: "Why do you want to destroy the defensive magic of the Holy Land?"
"The first layer of defensive array in the Holy Land cannot be lifted. It is an endless loop. Only by breaking it with brute force can you enter the next layer." Baki explained: "There is only one safe way, and that is to enter from a deep well.
Otherwise, only violent means can be used."
"You are also a spirit body now. Can you use crystal tree cores to reshape your body like Dambala?"
"Theoretically, yes." Baji said calmly: "But it doesn't make any sense. I am just a clone. Even if I use crystal tree core to reshape my body, I can only reach the strength of the second-tier gods, and I am still no match for the goddess of destiny and them.
.”
"Dambala is different. He lost his body and his strength fell to the level of a second-tier god. But if he uses crystal tree core to reshape his body, he can reach a higher level and touch the barrier of the main god."
Lord God...
To this day, Ma Wei has never seen the Lord God take action.
Neither Budge's true form nor Odin's true power has been demonstrated.
The power gap between the main god and the ordinary gods of faith is still a mystery.
Buggy's answer is still somewhat credible to Ma Wei. From various previous signs, it is not difficult to see that Buggy's clone is not as powerful as what he saw in the Kingdom of God. If his strength is comparable to
Gods who have awakened for the second time may have found ways to recall their true bodies long ago.
Luca, who had dealt with Buggy several times, did not warn him, which further proved that Buggy was right.
After eating two pieces of Yunia's chocolate, Ma Wei felt better. After being attacked, he thought of many possibilities that he had ignored before, and magnified these possibilities infinitely. It must have been caused by hallucinations.
After waking up, the strange feeling disappeared, and he also noticed more key information.
Luca has been acting together with them, and he sees everything Buggy does. If there was a problem, he would have stopped it long ago.
Since arriving in the Kingdom of Alawi, weird things surrounding Bajji have appeared again and again, such as the previous black sandstorm. Suspicions have long been accumulated and just exploded in hallucinations.
This suspicion is often unfounded.
After resting for a while, Ma Wei and others set off on the road again, heading straight for the Holy Land.
In the hallucination, Buggy destroyed the first and second layers of defensive arrays in the Holy Land, but in reality, only the first, second, and third layers of defensive arrays that needed to be destroyed could be lifted and reopened.
Jerusalem is of great significance to Bage, which is the main reason why he did not choose to force his way in. He would rather cause trouble than destroy this treasure that has existed for tens of thousands of years.
The second layer of defensive formation is not the crystal wall that Ma Wei saw in his hallucination, but a huge stone statue. According to Badji, there are twelve similar stone statues, located on the edge of the city of Jerusalem, and they are man-made.
of natural magic.
After passing the stone statue, we entered Jerusalem. Just like exploring Londinium, Mawei cleared a clearing and saw the ruins of the holy land that were tens of thousands of years old.
Rather than a house, it was more like a shed made of stones. The real era was so long ago that people at that time still lived in tribal-like stone houses and even used stone bowls for eating!
This is Jerusalem!
The holy place of Bajji's refuge!
it turns out...
So backward?
Ma Wei has been to Londinium. Human beings in the golden age have already lived in modern houses. They even have freezers that can refrigerate food. The furniture that relies on magic power seems to be more advanced than the real era!
One is the primitive era, and the other is the energy era. The gap is too big!
"Surprised, right?" Buggy came to a stone house. He still remembered the name of the owner of the stone house: "The real era is so primitive. Avalon is very advanced. The explosion point of human technology should be the Golden God General."
Alchemy was taught to humans and gave rise to modern science..."
"When I ruled, humans didn't even have enough to eat, but they had a conscience and knew how to share."
"In the era ruled by the Golden Gods, human beings no longer had to worry about food and clothing, but instead became extremely violent and selfish, just like monsters."
Staring at the backward and dilapidated stone house in front of him, Badji couldn't help but said: "In order to let the believers live a better life, I chose to retreat, but they have embarked on the road of self-destruction... Mawei, you
Why is this?"
"To realize utopia, we need not only material wealth, but also spiritual enrichment." Ma Wei said: "The golden gods only gave humans the magic to satisfy their material needs, but they did not teach them how to use it, the development of productivity and spiritual fulfillment.
If development does not match, there will be tearing."
"I think this is a paradox." Budge shook his head and said: "When material life is rich enough, human beings will pursue the spiritual world. Just look at those nobles. Their extremely extravagant behavior is the pursuit of the spiritual world.
Satisfaction, but it is impossible to be satisfied in the spiritual world. Human nature is like this. Whatever you get, you will want more, and there will be no end."
"The spiritual world is the same as material. When material is extremely rich, it is difficult to satisfy the spiritual world, because everything becomes readily available, and humans cannot get the pleasure of harvesting from it, so they have to use perverted ways to make up for it...
"
"Because the material world is rich, the spiritual world cannot be satisfied. Am I right?"
Ma Wei did not directly answer Budge's question, but asked: "Human beings in the real era, are their spiritual world satisfied?"
"At least they're happy."
Ma Wei smiled and stopped discussing this issue with Buggy. Now is not the time to discuss this at all: "Aren't we here to find the Holy Sword?"
"The Holy Sword is in the center of the Holy Land, follow me."
Floating ahead, Badi led Mawei and others to a high sacrificial platform. On the platform was an open-air temple, built with blue and white jade, located in the center of the holy land, filled with a sacred atmosphere.
Under the temple, bones and holy swords were scattered on the ground, as if the entire residents of Jerusalem had come here and died.
Ma Wei seemed to be able to see the brutality of that war. Humans armed with alchemical weapons invaded Jerusalem and launched an attack on Bajji's temple. Humans who believed in Bajji gathered around the sacred temple, holding primitive weapons and spontaneously
Protect the faith in your heart.
Judging from the number of holy swords and bones, it should have been a one-sided massacre.
Baji, who was supposed to support the believers, did not help. He did not even put up much resistance. He sat on his throne and waited for the enemy to arrive.
He originally thought that humans in the Golden Age would be able to live a happy life, but he never expected that everything was contrary to expectations. Except for material satisfaction, humans living in the Golden Age were not as happy as humans in the real era.
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Buggy wants to return.
What He thought was right turned out to be wrong, so wouldn’t the believers who sacrificed for it become unjust souls?
After all, He was wrong.
Under the altar, as if sensing the arrival of Badji, wisps of ghosts floated out of the bones. They did not attack the intruder, but just stood there blankly, looking at Badji intently.
I don't know how long it took, but as a ghost crawled on the ground, other ghosts also made similar movements, like pilgrims.
Buggy opened his mouth, but couldn't even say a word.
For tens of thousands of years, those believers are still guarding this land, believing in the god who once abandoned them.
Ma Wei also discovered that those ghost figures were exactly the same as the ghost figures he saw in the black sand storm.
Only when the black sandstorm begins, can they fly out of the deep well and search for their true god in the endless desert.
"Go get the Holy Sword." Buggy took a deep breath and said, "They won't stop you."
"Isn't there a third layer of defensive array?"
"The third layer of defensive array protects the altar. The holy sword fell outside the altar, so it will not be triggered."
Buggy raised his hand, and a silver holy sword flew over and floated in the air: "To be honest, these alchemical weapons were actually rubbish in the golden age. They are too redundant to clean the battlefield. I never thought of it.
After tens of thousands of years, it turned into a treasure..."
Hearing this seemingly mocking remark, Ma Wei's mouth twitched and he was unable to refute.
The alchemical weapons of the Golden Age are indeed treasures in his eyes. The Golden Gods have already developed the 'Earl Stone' to store magic power, and installed it in the Holy Sword, so that even ordinary people can use it.
What is this concept?
As long as you have enough magic power, you can create a terrifying magic army!
There were at least hundreds of holy swords scattered among the skeletons. Ma Wei was very prompt and activated the Siren's Tears to collect the holy swords and bury the bones at the same time, although they had long been buried underground...
"Get rich, get rich!"
Levin ran over with several holy swords in his arms, took off his turban and wrapped them all around him. He looked excited and obviously wanted to pack them up and take them away.
Ma Wei gave him a look of disdain and said, "Look at how useless you are...just use the Siren's Tears to move them all away!"
"Brother, you have a quick mind when it comes to picking up bargains!"
"This is all the experience I accumulated during my years as a privateer!"
Watching Ma Wei and the others carry out a large-scale sweep, Badji reminded: "This holy land still has great development value. The magic circle from tens of thousands of years ago still remains, and the slate documents are also very precious. They cannot be taken away at once.
Yes, it is recommended to develop it several times."
"you do not mind?"
Stopping what he was doing, Ma Wei said strangely: "After all, this is the holy land that once belonged to you. Aren't we just like thieves when we come in to move things?"
"Those who do not have the owner's consent are called thieves. Didn't I ask you to come here?" Buggy said calmly: "These things, if left here, are dead objects, just garbage, and even hidden dangers... If you...
If they can all be moved away, I don’t have any objections.”
As the God of truth, Budge really doesn't look down on the treasures of the ancient holy land. At most, the crystal tree core can attract his attention. Other historical relics such as holy swords, magic arrays and slate documents are of no value to him.
"By the way, where is the crystal tree core you are talking about?" Daniel asked.
"That altar is made of crystal tree core."
Baji pointed to the pyramid-style altar in front of him that was hundreds of meters high and hundreds of meters wide and said: "Every brick there is made of crystal tree core. There is a layer of defensive magic on the outermost periphery. I can remove it, but it depends on you."
It looks like I won’t be able to take it away for a while.”
There are too many things to take away in one trip. No matter how powerful the Siren's Tears are, they can't hollow out an entire holy land silently. The key is to move quietly without being discovered...
Ma Wei also thought of leaving a tunnel and then entrusting the Adams Chamber of Commerce to dig it secretly, just like the Doomsday Party did in London.
The dug crystal tree core can be transported back to the Romanov Kingdom and handed over to the church for disposal.
This time, they packed up the holy sword and took it away first, and discussed the rest later.
Manipulating the soil and wrapping up all the holy swords, Ma Wei and the others prepared to leave, but not far away, the ground suddenly shook, and waves of frightening magic power surges came from above, and the wooden box of magic spirits in their arms shook.
It's like he's about to jump out...
Buggy, Junia, and Edward raised their heads almost at the same time and looked at the soil above their heads.
What they are looking at is not the soil, but something on top of the soil.
Over Jerusalem, wind and sand swept across, ghosts roared, dark clouds gathered, and in the center of the storm, a giant black door slowly emerged...
