Chapter 143: Spell Harmonization
Translator: Lonelytree
The herbs and spells they had mastered were useless against it.
The Su began to die in large numbers.
Even though Bright Sandalwood King tried his best to solve the problem, he was unable to do anything. Not long after, he also fell ill.
Fortunately, there were still some healthy people on the ship. They continued sailing under Bright Sandalwood King’s orders and finally arrived at Barbarian Tooth Peninsula after a period of time.
The fleet of the Su had docked here for nearly half a year.
The people who died from the plague eventually accounted for two-thirds of the population on the ship, especially the Daoist priests.
This was also the fundamental reason why this special profession gradually lost its inheritance.
During this period, the Su began to frequently contact the local aborigines in order to save themselves, and both sides began a large amount of trade.
Not long after, the seriously ill Bright Sandalwood King sent people to learn some voodoo techniques from the native shamans.
Under the strong suggestion of the shaman, the Bright Sandalwood King made a desperate attempt and fed the remaining patients, including himself, a powerful hex poison.
As a result, something magical happened. After the hex poison entered the body, the symptoms of the plague were greatly reduced. Although it was not completely eradicated, at least it could save people’s lives.
At that time, Bright Sandalwood King was very emotional. If they had arrived at the Peninsula earlier, perhaps even more people would have been saved.
Unfortunately, fate had already been cast, and no one could change it.
The Bright Sandalwood King, who had barely managed to survive, began to study the plague in his body.
He was a true genius. When he was in the Su Country, he was once the leader of the Great Wall Mages. He was rewarded for his meritorious service in resisting the demons.
When he arrived at the Barbarian Tooth Peninsula, his class level was a Level 16 Great Wall Mage and a Level 4 Daoist. He was a Half-step Legendary Mage.
Very quickly, his research had some preliminary results.
Bright Sandalwood King’s research showed that the plague itself was only a fuse. A large number of Su clansmen on the ship died because of the differences in the laws and domains of existence between the East and West Continents.
Why did so many Daoist priests die?
This was because most of these Daoist priests in the Su Country had mastered the power of two domains at the same time. Controlling wind, rain, lightning, and summoning zombies and ghosts were actually from the same domain in the Eastern Continent.
However, the concepts and mastery of these powers on the Western Continent had long been divided by the gods. If they were to encroach on different territories, they would inevitably incur the backlash of the laws. In comparison, the plague was only a symptom amplifier. What killed a large number of Su people was actually their own power.
The voodoo poison given by the native shaman happened to have the effect of weakening strength, so it could greatly alleviate the symptoms.
This discovery made the Bright Sandalwood King extremely depressed. He Imew that the gods didn’t even take the initiative to attack. This was the natural reaction of the domains that had been deeply imprinted by them.
This meant that the Western Continent was not an ideal place for the Eastern people to take refuge.
However, they had no other choice. It was difficult to return to their homeland, so they could only choose to adapt.
The information about the inheritance after that was a little vague.
Matthew only knew that after the Bright Sandalwood King left the Barbarian
Tooth Peninsula, he spent a long time researching the situation of the Western Continent’s domains. In the end, he used a divine artefact he brought from the Eastern Continent as the foundation and created a balanced domain out of thin air. He used this to reconcile the opposing powers of several attributes in his body.
He had succeeded and stepped into the Legendary realm.
However, he had also failed because even the Bright Sandalwood King himself had to rely on that divine artefact to maintain a long-term equilibrium.
For generations of Envoys of Equilibrium, if they wanted to advance further in this profession, they had to sign a contract with that divine artefact.
In the information that Matthew had obtained, there were also annotations of the Envoy of Equilibrium on that divine artefact.
From their attitude towards the divine artefact, it was not difficult to see that this thing was not reliable at all!
For example, the second -generation messenger of equilibrium, who was also the fourth son of Bright Sandalwood King, left behind a note like this: “Heavenly artefacts are unpredictable, and the Heavenly Dao is unfathomable.” These words were tactful.
When it came to the seventh generation of the Envoy of Equilibrium, the style gradually began to deviate.
[The legendary path of the Envoy of Equilibrium consists of capturing Artifact Spirits. One could never tell where a spirit is hiding. You would remember the contract you signed with the Divine Artifacts always, and you’d want to slap yourself.]
When the last Envoy of Equilibrium was about to die out, he left a note:
[Stupid Artifact Spirit, it only knows how to neglect its duties every day. It can’t fulfil its original promise at all!]
[The Art of Equilibrium was wrong from the very beginning. Everything is biased, so how can there be equilibrium?] [Unless it is the harmony of the two most primordial powers.] [But how could a mortal do this?]
[It’s too difficult. All Envoys of Equilibrium should die!]
From this, it could be seen that the Envoy of Equilibrium profession was filled with uncertainty. It was a brand new profession that the Bright Sandalwood King had created to save himself.
However, the situation was different for Matthew because he already had half a foot in the Equilibrium Domain.
“The King and the others are quite pitiful. From the time they arrived at the Barbarian Tooth Peninsula, the ascension of the Heavenly Palace had not happened yet! The domain’s concept would subconsciously try to please the gods. This was the reason why the plague occurred.
“If they had come after the ascension of the Heavenly Palace, things might have been different. The Gods would have been exiled by the Calamity Mage.. The power of domains within them would not have taken the initiative to oppose the Su!”
