Chapter 174: Winged Demon and the Stolen Divine Grace (2-in-1)
The island of mist.
"篍!"
"篍!"
In the sky above the ceremony workshop, balloon-like objects shot away one after another, and then disappeared forever.
Lan En stood in the workshop, looking at the shadows in the distance.
"No...no...this way won't work."
"It's hard to control and it's not long-lasting."
Lan En was spinning in circles, his expression deep in thought and looking a little anxious.
"Is there a wrong direction?"
"That's right, the direction is wrong."
Lan En has recently been thinking about how to control the power of wind to create a flying prop that can easily fly in the sky.
The Trileaf people now rule the earth, and the people of the Demonic Abyss rule the sea; there are trailers running on the land, and there are ships chasing the waves in the ocean.
Only the sky.
It is no less mysterious and desirable than any other creature.
The first thing he thought of was the former giant beast in the sky.
He first created something like a ball, which flew towards the sky by continuously blowing air outwards.
But this method is not long-lasting, and even if extraordinary power is used, this method is not feasible.
Unless he has the mythical blood as strong as the ocean as the Luch giant monster, he can squander the power in his body wantonly.
But this is not in line with Lan En's original idea of allowing ordinary people and low-level priests to fly into the sky.
"Flying in the sky."
"Is it really just a human dream? Can only the most powerful creatures own the sky?"
Lan En walked out of the ritual workshop and walked alone on the beach.
Suddenly he saw a little girl playing on the beach.
The little girl held a small stone in her hand and threw it towards the sea while shouting.
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
Small stone flakes slid across the water, as if flying.
Lan En's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stepped forward and took the slice from the little girl's hand.
I watched it for a long time and then threw it away.
The little girl pouted and looked at Lan En warily.
He found that Lan En didn't look at him at all, but focused entirely on the stone piece.
The little girl picked up another stone chip from the ground and prepared to throw it away again.
Lan En is a scholar, and like his teacher Sandian, once he falls into a state of contemplation, he has no reaction to the outside world at all.
People like him are extremely focused and good at thinking.
The feeling he felt at this moment was still in the workshop, and he was surrounded by his students and assistants in the workshop.
"another one."
"Try another one."
Lan En looked straight at the sea and stretched his hands behind him.
Then he snatched the stone piece from the little girl's hand and threw it away.
The little girl looked at Lan En blankly, and then stopped.
Tears flowed from her eyes. Sayazi wiped her tears and ran away thinking about the castle in the distance.
But Lan En didn't notice at all, his eyes were all bright.
"Leverage? Glide?"
"yes!"
"Wind is unpredictable and difficult to control, a force of nature and the world."
"It's not worth the gain to completely control it, as long as you adapt to it and control it."
Lan En was a little excited, and it felt so good to have found the right direction.
The little girl ran to the first classroom on the left on the first floor of the castle with tears in her eyes. Classes had not started yet, and the students were all gathered together to chat.
The classroom was noisy.
Seeing a familiar person, the little girl burst into tears.
"elder sister!"
"Bad people outside are robbing me of my things."
There was a sensation in the classroom. There was actually someone in the Temple of Truth who was so shameless and bullied such a young girl.
"who is it?"
"We still have such people in the Temple of Truth? Robbing children's things?"
"It must be those guys who are a few years older than us. We need to teach them a lesson."
A group of people rushed to the coast aggressively, and saw Lan En wearing a sage's robe, and then stopped in a state of embarrassment.
The leaders looked at the coast from a distance and recognized Lan En: "Sir Sage."
Several people whispered to each other: "Why is Lord Lan En here?"
A large group of priest apprentices looked to the left and right, and then asked the little girl.
"Where are the bad guys?"
"where?"
"Where is that guy who shamelessly bullies children?"
The little girl rushed to the beach, pointed at the Great Sage Lan En and said.
"It's this bad guy who robbed my things."
Seeing the eyes of everyone looking at him, Lan En, the dignified sage of truth, looked a little confused.
"It's not a robbery."
"Just take a look, just take a look."
"Look at it, how can it be called robbery?"
Lan En managed to keep his expression calm and said calmly.
"You did a good job in water washing and gave me a lot of inspiration."
"I decided to reward you with an opportunity to enter the temple to learn divine arts as compensation for you."
The students looked at each other.
This is the first time they have heard that you can get rewards for doing nothing.
After saying that, Lan En hurriedly ran back to the ritual workshop and started his experiment again.
Lan En figured out a certain joint and decided to give up the previous method.
In the following days, Lan En tried one method after another to constantly modify the flying props he made.
Finally, he made what he wanted.
This is a tripod covered with coarse cloth, which Lan En calls a flying prop.
It's actually a big kite.
Lan En's students looked at this big kite with some disbelief.
This is neither a magical prop nor has extraordinary power. It seems to have a simple structure, so how can it fly.
"teacher!"
"Can this really fly?"
fly.
In the eyes of all Sanye people, it is a sacred thing.
Even if you don't use mythical power to decipher the secrets of the sky.
At least it shouldn’t be able to soar in the sky with just a piece of cloth and a few broken frames!
Lan En led a few students out of the workshop and asked the little stone demon to drag the flying props towards the cliff.
"Then let me show you how it takes me to fly."
The students were even more shocked: "You want to take people to fly?"
Another student also said: "Teacher, let me go up and give it a try. If you fall from the sky..."
Seeing that the students didn't trust him so much, Lan En said angrily: "That won't kill me."
The students replied: "I mean the face of the Sage of Truth has completely disappeared!"
Although Lan En looks young, he is actually quite old.
According to the lifespan of a Sanye person, he can be said to be a little old man.
Hearing his students say that to him, he became so stubborn.
"You little brats, how dare you question your own teacher?"
"I, Lan En, have never done anything that I was not sure about. I will definitely be able to fly up this time."
Just as Lan En led a group of people to the top of the cliff, there was a complete commotion in the castle below.
"The Sage is about to fly into the sky, right on top of the cliff." After receiving the news, a group of priest apprentices immediately poured into each classroom and shouted loudly.
"Sir Sage is going to fly into the sky." Someone was shouting at the door of each classroom.
"Everyone, come and see!" The priest apprentices rushed out of the classroom.
"Have the flying props been made?" Lan En's plan to make flying props has been going on for a long time. He used to shoot cannons into the sky every day, and many older priest apprentices knew about it.
"So powerful? If this succeeds, doesn't it mean that we can go to heaven in the future?"
The entire Temple of Truth was in a sensation, and the priests and apprentices from the first floor to the sixth floor came down the stairs one by one.
Whether they were tutors, students, or ordinary employees living on the island, they all ran to the road and square outside the castle and looked towards the cliff.
There is no obvious superiority or inferiority in the Temple of Truth, only teachers and students.
Rather than showing superiority and inferiority, it can be said that there is respect for each other.
This relationship and pattern can be seen from the way they get along with each other at the moment. Perhaps it is this relaxed and unfettered environment that allows so many talented priests to be born here.
Everyone gathered below to watch the fun.
Some held telescopes and looked upward, while others used magic to spy.
Everyone immediately discovered that the so-called flying prop was just a piece of cloth and a shelf.
"Can this thing fly? How is it possible?"
"Sage, you won't just fall off the cliff!"
"How is it possible? Master Lan En is a priest of divine grace, and his noodle-brained monster puppet can fly through spiritual power."
"I think there may be some secrets hidden in it that we can't see. How can we use our thoughts to guess the sage?"
"But this is something that can be seen through at a glance?"
Vivien, who was holding her sister in the crowd, had just entered school and didn't know many things yet.
What I am currently learning is also the content of the first-level spiritual priest.
“What is a Divine Priest?”
The priest apprentice next to him replied: "Fourth level priest of divine grace."
"Possessing the power of a true myth, breaking through the limits of lifespan, and existing like an apostle of God."
"To put it simply and intuitively, all the people present combined are no match for Lord Lan En alone. All of us have died of old age, but Lord Lan En is still as young as you see today."
"In terms of life essence and form, we are two completely different existences from the divine priests."
Vivien was completely shocked and looked at the man on the top of the cliff.
"Can the three-leaf people also become such powerful beings?"
Lan En prepared on the cliff for a long time, and finally grabbed the big kite and jumped from the height.
It was a little unstable at first, but as the wind blew, it headed higher.
Everyone's eyes were instantly attracted, and the instructors on the cliff could even hear the sound of the wind shaking the rough fabric.
"Hoo ho!"
Lan En, the sage of truth, controlled the big kite, not only flying farther and farther, but also flying more and more steadily.
The instructors and students, who had been holding their breath before, immediately relaxed when they saw this situation and fell into cheers and shouts.
"It's flying."
"It really took off."
"It's amazing. You can fly with just a piece of cloth and a few metal frames. What's the reason for this?"
Everyone can see through the structure of this "flying prop" at a glance, and it looks really simple.
Those with strong hands-on skills at the scene even began to think about how to make this flying prop.
"In this case, we can fly according to this production?"
"It seems simple. There must be secrets here that we haven't discovered or known yet. How can it be so easy to succeed?"
"Sir Sage is really amazing."
The instructors and students of the temple were chasing the direction in which the Sage of Truth flew on the ground. Lan En also looked at the scene on the island below and smiled.
Lan En circled around in the sky, and finally, although he failed to control the landing place and landed on the sea, he immediately walked back to the lighthouse gracefully on the waves.
Several of his students gathered around and said, "Teacher, you succeeded."
Lan En waved his hand, as if it was not worth mentioning: "I told you, it will definitely succeed."
While he was talking, the sun in the sky suddenly became a little brighter.
Everyone looked around and saw wisps of light rushing down from the direction of the sun.
It fell into the big kite.
The big kite, which originally looked a little rough, immediately changed.
The lines have become softer and more pleasing to the eye, and they have also become larger.
On the fabric on the back, there are also some symbols that look like wind, making the whole thing look much more beautiful and mysterious.
"It's the light of miracles."
"A new miracle prop is about to be born."
Although all students knew about the existence of miracle props before, they had also seen another miracle prop.
But this was the first time they saw a miracle prop born in front of them and witnessed the whole process.
Lan En was also a little excited.
He has already seen two miraculous props, the "More than a Compass" and the "Magic Wheel House", but he still wants a miraculous prop of his own.
This prop may not be that powerful, but it carries the results of my own research and is the certification of myself by the law.
This is not only a miracle prop, but also the embodiment of his dream and exploration of truth.
He touched his miracle prop with his hand, and immediately a ray of information was transmitted into his mind.
[Miracle Item·Wings of Wind Control]
[Serial Number 6] (Just squeezed Elena's compass down.)
[The first flying prop created by the Sanye people, it is a miracle of controlling the wind, a giant wing that soars into the blue sky; when you control it, you can control the nearby airflow within a hundred meters to form a field of wind. 】
Lan En immediately understood the power of this miraculous item.
This means that he can continuously control the airflow to speed up his flight, and at the same time, he can take off from anywhere at any time. This flying prop is no longer subject to any geographical restrictions.
Moreover, how to further study the power of controlling airflow can achieve more unexpected effects.
------------------
These days, Lan En has focused entirely on his flying prop.
At the same time, he is also studying the so-called power of the wind domain.
You can see that every day in the cliff and the ritual workshop, there are figures riding flying props soaring into the sky.
Whether it's day or night.
On this day, Lan En was thinking about how to improve his flying props.
"Dong dong dong."
Suddenly someone knocked on the door of the ritual workshop, and several hired help opened the door.
Those who came in were Lan En's students.
This is a third-level curse seal priest who specializes in cultivating little stone demons. He is also the temple's authoritative instructor in the field of demons.
The ritual workshop is very spacious, and there are several types of flying props ranging from several meters to more than ten meters in length.
Of course, Lan En’s miraculous item, the Wings of Wind Control, is also here.
Lan En glanced at his student and didn't pay too much attention: "Why are you here? Has anything happened to the students and teachers?"
Lan En's student replied: "No, teacher."
"I'm here this time for my own business."
The student came to Lan En and took out a scroll.
Lan En glanced at him and took the scroll. "What is this?"
When I unfolded it, it read:
"About the cultivation and production methods of flying monsters."
Lan En's face changed slightly, and he looked at his student solemnly.
Before Lan En could express his opinion, the student immediately put forward his own opinion to him: "Teacher, I came up with this idea after watching you make flying props."
"If we use this method to create a flying monster, it can become a tool for riding and transportation."
"In this case, it will be more convenient for us to travel between the sea and the land in the future."
Lan En's expression was a little bad. He had never liked the existence of monsters.
"Have you thought about the risks?"
The student immediately replied: "But this is not the first time we have created and cultivated monsters. This risk can be controlled."
"We can coexist with the stone demon through a spiritual contract. We provide the stone demon with a living environment, and the stone demon provides us with strength. Isn't this a good model?"
"teacher!"
"This is a huge progress for Sanye people and us!"
"We can completely conquer the blue sky. Flying props are a kind of props, and flying monsters can also become our tools."
The student looked at the flying props on the side: "Although your flying props are good, there is only one miracle prop, and its practicality is not that great for ordinary use."
"You also know, so I see that you have been thinking about how to improve these days."
"But if we use its principles to create flying monsters, and then cultivate them in large numbers."
"In the future, we Sanye people will be able to have real flying tools."
At this point, the students gathered around and moved Lan En to mention another striking example.
"The stone demon left by Lord Sandian has now become an important transportation force and has witnessed the name of the sage."
"Why can't new monsters work?"
Although Lan En no longer has the great hostility and fear towards the appearance of monsters as before, he still remains wary of the monster clan.
He did not agree to his students immediately, but just said: "I have to think about it again."
The student knew his teacher very well, and he knew that Lan En had actually shaken his previous thoughts.
Lan En's prejudice and fear of monsters mostly come from the death of his teacher Sandian and the fire demon Haru.
After the student bowed, he left by himself.
But his scroll remained.
In the ritual workshop, everyone looked at Lan En.
"Lord Sage."
"Do you want to continue?"
Lan En has been exploring the so-called flying prop improvement plan these days. There is indeed no progress, and he is ready to take a rest.
"Today is over, let's go back and rest!"
The employees and other priests who helped in the ritual workshop bowed to Lan En and then dispersed to go home.
Lan En stayed alone in the workshop, looking outside through the window.
A new large ship arrived at the dock through the fog. A few little stone demons pulled a three-car trailer and ran quickly on the smooth road, delivering the materials shipped off the ship to each ritual workshop.
"yes!"
"The monster is no longer what it used to be. It has become a controllable and low-risk force."
I hesitated a lot, but finally decided to give it a try.
The next day, he called his students and changed his "flying prop improvement plan" into "cultivation and production of flying monsters".
The practical path of flight power is officially on the right track.
Lan En asked his student: "Have you thought about what magical brand to use as the core to create this monster?"
"How can this kind of power be paired with flying?"
For example, the stone demon is a monster created with the Tao magic brand as its core, and the fire demon is the crystallization of the fire magic brand.
The cursed spirit transformed from the divine brand is the most critical thing.
The student has already thought about it: "If you want to fly, the monster's body must be light enough."
"I plan to use the Bone Ritual to build the body of this life, but its mythical bloodline is branded using the Divine Art of the Sky to create a cursed spirit."
"In this case, its light body and the power of the Sky Brand will be enough for it to soar into the blue sky."
Lan En nodded: "There are still a few pottery dolls with curse marks left by the teacher. Just remove the brand of Tao's divine magic and replace them with the brand of sky."
"But there aren't many of these things left, so we have to use them sparingly."
Once the new plan is launched, the entire temple of truth is in motion.
Several of Lan En's students, as well as the most elite third-level cursed seal priests in the temple, were also gathered and participated in the experiment of creating flying monsters.
It is not difficult to create a monster. What is difficult is how to properly design its form. This form combined with power allows it to fly easily.
One of the mentors also put forward his own thoughts and opinions: "There is also reproduction."
"Stone demons and fire demons reproduce by dividing after maturity because they have no fixed form."
"But this time we have determined that the appearance and life form of the flying monster are fixed, and we should also pay attention to its reproduction method."
"In this way, we can skillfully and successfully cultivate other flying monsters in the future."
After the discussion, they began to make the new monster's body.
There was no big failure this time.
Because it is more about preliminary preparations, the later methods of creating monsters are already mature.
However, the bodies of various flying monsters created through rituals were piled up in the ritual workshop, looking like a mountain of corpses.
It's just that without the final steps, it's not a life.
In the end, it took more than a year to finally finalize the body of the flying monster.
In the ritual workshop.
everything's ready.
This is a huge monster, its torso looks like a transparent flesh insect covered with beautiful patterns, and the outside is covered with a layer of hollow bone armor.
There seems to be some mysterious gas surging within its body.
The gas also gave off a mysterious light.
A pair of wings that can be folded and unfolded into giant wings that fly into the blue sky.
If you look at it from a human perspective, it looks like a glowing snake with weird white bone wings.
There were dense patterns painted on the ground, and there were ritual formations on the outer circle. Lan En stood at the front, surrounded by a dozen third-level curse seal priests in a circle.
Today is the time to officially create monsters.
Lan En and the others want to turn this body into a living creature and create a new kind of monster.
The first race to fly in the sky.
About to be born.
The student asked the truth sage Lan En: "Then what is the name of this flying monster?"
Lan En had already had an idea: "Since Miracle Props calls this way of flying wings, let's call it a wing demon!"
A fourth-level divine grace priest and a dozen curse seal priests released their most powerful power together.
A violent spiritual storm surged, and the clouds in the sky were affected and began to rotate.
The light of the ceremony surged out from every gap in the workshop to the outside.
The interior of the workshop turned into a blazing white.
I don't know how long it took, but a harsh neighing sound erupted from the light.
"hiss!"
In the neighing sound.
The glass gas lamps on several buildings in the distance exploded, and the stones on the ground began to tremble slightly.
"Hoo ho!"
The sound of the wings vibrating could be heard throughout the Mist Island.
Along with the sound of flapping wings, people outside saw the shadow of a terrifying monster rushing out from above the ritual workshop and hovering in the sky.
The huge shadow was projected on the earth, giving the Sanye people a strong sense of intimidation. Some low-level priests could not help but feel fear in their hearts when they saw the shadow of the terrifying monster.
The real Winged Demon appears.
Sage Lan En and a dozen mentors from the Temple of Truth were all standing on the Winged Demon at this moment.
The wing demon's wings, which are more than thirty meters long, are fully unfolded. There are holes in the bone wings that can eject gas when flying.
When rushing to high places, the Winged Demon can eject gas and control the airflow.
Other times, it’s just gliding in the wind.
Under the shocked and incredulous gazes of the entire Temple of Truth, the Winged Demon spread its wings and flew away.
began its first flight.
Lan En and the mentors of the temple flew it into the distance, while also verifying the power of this new monster.
At this moment.
Not far from the Misty Island, a ship has been docked in Sarah's territory for more than half a month.
This is a cargo ship that has been docked at the unloading island port in Sara territory for a long time.
The reason is that the buyer from the royal capital has not arrived yet, so he has been lingering at the port.
In the cabin, a priest was kneeling on the ground.
In his hand, he held the Haru Demon Bottle, which contained a small skeleton man.
But compared to the little skeleton man locked inside the bottle, the one outside is more like a slave.
The little bone man suddenly opened his eyes. He felt the movement on the misty island, and watched Lan En and his mentors drive the bone demon away.
"The Sage of Truth left the Island of Mist together with more than a dozen mentors. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
The priest holding the Haru magic bottle immediately pulled out the stopper on the flask and said respectfully.
"grown ups."
"please!"
The magic bottle was opened, and a burst of smoke formed from dust rushed into the distance.
The smoke ignored the fog of the Mist Island and bypassed the lighthouse's surveillance.
It seems to be very familiar with this place.
He went straight to the back of the castle, taking advantage of the Mist Island's emptiest moment, and broke into the gate of a palace hidden within the mountain.
A bone demon with the appearance of a three-leaf man stood in front of the gate, with strange fluctuations emitting from his body.
The stone statues on both sides of the gate looked at the Bone Demon at the same time, and asked after scanning it for a moment.
"Secret spell."
The bone demon recited a secret spell, and the stone statue immediately opened the palace door.
As soon as the door opened, the Bone Demon went straight into the depths.
Lan En, who was driving the Bone Demon into the blue sky and following the white clouds, suddenly felt something.
He immediately turned back to look at the Island of Mist, and his expression changed drastically.
"No, someone has invaded the Temple of Truth."
This temple of truth is the temple that stores all core magic and knowledge.
The Winged Demon immediately turned around and flew back towards the Mist Island.
But before returning to the Mist Island, I saw a figure rushing out of the mist and escaping into the distance.
How could Lan En let him escape: "Stop."
The terrifying Divine Grace Puppet, which was nearly a hundred meters tall, appeared on the sea surface, and its giant hand stretched out to grab the bone demon.
But before he could touch the Bone Demon, there was a roar.
"boom!"
The existence that looked exactly like the Three Leaf Man exploded on the sea.
It was so strong that Lan En and other instructors were stunned.
Lan En felt the difference in power. This man didn't look like a clover.
"wrong."
"He is not a clover."
"This is a monster, a monster branded with the divine bone magic."
The Winged Demon hovered in the sky, but Lan En and a dozen mentors landed on the sea.
Lan En's face looked a little ugly: "This man knows the Temple of Truth very well. He even knows the secret spell to enter the Temple."
"This secret word was originally set up by our teacher Sandan. Only Haru and I know it. How could anyone else know it?"
Speaking of Haru, Lan immediately thought of another character.
"That student from Haru?"
"Anhofors?"
"What is he doing when he enters the Temple of Truth? What is he looking for?"
Lan En immediately led people back to the Island of Mist, but he did not enter the temple first, but went straight to the highest level of the castle.
Inside the sealed grid, he saw the book "The Making of Divine Artifacts".
"Nothing has been touched."
Then, Lan En entered the temple.
He finally determined the other party's purpose: "He is looking for divine grace."
Lan En's face was not so ugly. In his opinion, this Haru student wanted to find a way to break through the fourth level. He had no intention of being self-conscious. After all, he had given the divine grace to the Kingdom of Demonic Abyss before.
Abyss Knight Elena.
When King Xiinsai asked him about the power of the fourth-level divine priest, he even directly invited King Xiinsai to come to the Temple of Truth to study.
He is not afraid of the Divine Favor Gaiden, he is just afraid of losing control of his power.
Lan En turned around and said to several of his students.
"Gotta look for it."
"Where is Haru's student Anhofors now and what is he doing?"
The student immediately responded: "The evil mage Anhofors?"
"He has always been well-known in the eastern area of Xinxai and caused quite a stir."
"However, there is really no news about the evil mage Anhofors recently. It seems that he has completely disappeared. I immediately asked someone to check."
On the other side, the thief who entered the Temple of Truth blew himself up.
On the ship that Sala led the trade in the Kingdom of Demonic Abyss, the bone demon that just blew up and died reappeared in the flask as a small bone demon.
"Did it succeed?" the priest holding the Haru magic bottle asked excitedly.
"Success, go back!" Little Bone Demon ordered.
----------------
Sky Temple.
Anhofors stood under the statue of Insai wearing the robe of a priest. He stood looking at the statue for a long time.
After a long time, he asked the priest behind him.
"Tell me, what is everyone thinking when they stand under the statue of God?"
The priest answered respectfully: "Standing in this sacred place, I think everyone should only have piety in their heart."
"And faith!"
Anhofors opened his mouth slightly, and his eyes looking at the statue looked a little dull.
"no!"
"I think most people are thinking..."
Anhofors opened his hands and raised them high.
"God, are you watching us too?"
Anhofors then asked, "Do you think God is watching us?"
The priest thought for a long time and had no answer.
Anhofors talked about the words that God once said to the second generation of Wisdom King Jesser. Those words were only passed down orally among the blood descendants of the royal family, unlike the forbidden words that other clover people knew.
.
"Belief in God is your business."
"It has nothing to do with God."
Anhofors chuckled, as if he was mocking himself, or all the three-leaf people.
"so."
"So who are we praying to?"
Anhofors looked at the statue with more and more eyes, as if he were looking at a truly great idol and a being that was worshiped to the extreme.
"But that's why."
"He is the real God. He made us not because he needed us, but just because."
"He could do it, so he did it."
"Such a god, such a power that transcends everything, the secret hidden behind it."
"That's what we long for and pursue."
At this time, a man walked out of the side corridor and said something into Anhofors's ear.
Anhofors immediately left the temple and came to a closed room on the side.
The priest knelt on the ground holding the Haru magic bottle, and the small skeleton man in the bottle said to Anhofus.
