The light of the oil lamp appeared at the edge of the corridor. Lu Li walked out of the longhouse and looked at the twisted cultists and workers in the distance.
The crown of thorns hanging next to the door fell on Lu Li's shoulders and returned to his forehead to form a ring.
"You helped them?"
Such details cannot be restored by describing it alone, and even the discoloration of the floor at the door due to friction was restored. The Swamp Mother had seen the detective agency in her dream.
"Just a little."
Lu Li nodded and thanked the Swamp Mother and the craftsmen.
"I hope to see it reopen one day, and I will be the first guest." replied the Swamp Mother.
The workers temporarily piled unused wooden boards, paint, and sand in the workshop next to Mrs. Filling's bakery and returned to the camp.
It will be used for future renovations.
The five Twisted Cultists are here to stay. The Detective Agency has returned to civilization and there is no power to give it back. Although it is unlikely that the Weirds will return, nor will they be interested in a house.
The Twisted Shadow still overlooks the Ember Zone, and the grotesque steel forest is like a leaky cistern under its threat. Most have never left the gap surrounded by the Twisted Cultists, and a few have been polluted as servants under the ocean-like breath of the Twisted Shadow.
or surrender.
On the way back to the camp, the Swamp Mother relayed the good news brought by the Twisted Shadow: a strange leader became his servant.
Twisted Shadow wanted to give it to Lu Li to restore his humanity, but he refused: "The camp needs strength, and one weird leader is more useful than a few pieces of humanity."
Especially in the transition stage of the camp to the land of light.
Back at the camp, Lu Li met a convoy of carts covered with tarps filled with goods walking out of the Immortal Wall.
The science scholars and craftsmen followed the long queue out of the camp. Valendo and his selected assistants were counting supplies and loading them next to the source of the convoy.
"Mr. Lu Li, we just need your help."
"Bring a wooden boat." Valendo threw the record book to his assistant and led Lu Li to a medium-sized generator that was close to his chest: "The data given by Sir Ross is about 16,000 pounds. The cart cannot support this far.
, the banyan tree guard is too slow."
"Can't Merchant Anthony?"
"It's best not to..." Valendo told the reason: "Earlier today, scholars discovered that the generator equipment was corroded. They initially thought it was improper storage, but occult scholars said that the breath of the other world affected it..."
They only have this set of generators for the time being. If it breaks down, they will have to move it from the ice-free port of Vina, and that will have to wait at least an extra week.
It is a shame to waste time in the land of light.
As for disassembling the generator and transporting it separately... they haven't mastered the restoration technology yet, and there may be many strange parts with unknown uses when they are reinstalled.
"What do you want to do."
"Use a boat."
Valendo pointed to the small wooden boat pulled by his assistant on a cart in the distance.
Of course, a wooden boat cannot carry nearly 8 tons of weight, but it can with the help of the Twisted Cultists.
Lu Li nodded and said to Swamp Mother: "You and the Distorted Shadow select suitable believers to join the internal department."
In this way, Valendo no longer needs to ask Lu Li for permission if he wants to mobilize the Twisted Church and Shadow Church.
The craftsmen strengthened the wooden boat, the banyan tree guards grabbed the generator and put it into the wooden boat. After the crowd retreated, the twisted cultists summoned the power of the ocean and gathered seawater to lift the wooden boat.
The Twisted Cultists left the camp with their wounds and wooden boats.
After finishing the things at hand, Valendo heard that the detective agency had been restored and said excitedly: "If we had a newspaper agency, we could take a photo and put it on the headlines."
It’s just that the Land of Hope newspaper has not yet put it on the agenda.
"We can let it be published in Weiner Dungeon." Lu Li replied.
"Your Excellency Lu Li, if you are lacking some feeling, it would be exciting if we announced this ourselves." Valendo has already become a man of hope.
After returning to the wooden house on the island in the middle of the lake, not long after, the Swamp Mother told Lu Li: "It's here..."
Looking out the window, a gray dot with the outline of a house appears on the shore of Agate Lake.
Its appearance appears in the telescope: gray-brown scales with brown spots are similar to metal, and the oval surface has many tentacles used for movement and feeding, like a giant sea cucumber.
What separates it from the purely gigantic monsters and monstrous bosses is that it has a flat-faced head with only eyes and a mouth several times the size of its face.
Worms should have a lot in common with it.
Accompanied by the twisted cultists, the weird leader slipped into the sparkling agate lake, and the ripples disappeared in the distance.
As a weird leader, it is not suitable to be sent to the bay to be wasted. It will enter the temple to receive the breath of the twisted shadow until it becomes his dependent and is no longer harmful.
The power of the Twisted Church has been strengthened again. Compared with it, the Shadow Church and the Vine Church do not seem to have any desire to expand.
There are two weird bosses left in the shipwreck area, and the Twisted Cultists can deal with them at any time, so the Twisted Cultists completely surrounded the Iron Forest, leaving no gaps.
While waiting for the final result, Swamp Mother told Lu Li that the Ember Zone had agreed to the exchange.
There was some coincidence in the timing, just after the wreck area was almost solved.
Maybe the Ember Zone is always watching the outside world.
"It wants to talk to you..."
"Does it know me?"
"I told it that the lord of the Land of Light was a human, and it showed surprise..."
"Is it dangerous?"
"Hold on……"
Lu Li soon learned the reason why the Swamp Mother asked him to wait: She appeared on the wooden bridge on the other side of the Agate Lake.
The Swamp Mother protected Lu Li and used the Crown of Thorns to allow him to communicate with the consciousness of the Ember Zone.
Like the hazy depths of a dream, Lu Li felt a distant emotion emerge.
Lu Li remained quiet, feeling his emotions gradually clear and change, and a trace of friendliness appeared like tentacles.
"It's just a new consciousness, it doesn't know how to communicate yet."
The mother of the swamp appeared next to her consciousness. She flinched back as if she was frightened, and after a moment she slowly came out, releasing more kindness.
The consciousness in the Ember Zone behaves like an ignorant cub, rather than a forbidden land that confronts the Whirlpool.
It only confirms that Swamp Mother has not deceived herself with lies, and the subsequent communication is still between Swamp Mother and it.
"The Ember Zone agreed to become an ally to help protect the Land of Light and requested not to interfere with each other." When the Swamp Mother relayed it, Lu Li felt its "watch".
"Is it credible?"
"I will help it gain humanity..."
It is not difficult to transform a new and ignorant consciousness, even if it is wary and alienated from the outside world.
Lu Li nodded lightly: "Promise."
As he finished speaking, his consciousness showed the same kindness to Lu Li as the mother of the swamp.
Swamp Mother ended the contact and returned to the other courtyard to prepare for today’s afternoon tea. Ember District Consciousness will also participate.
Now, all that stands in front of them is the silent hills.
In fact, after the destruction of the Whirlpool, the Silent Hills also restrained themselves out of fear.
There are only two options left before us: destroy or become allies.
