Chapter 177: Utilization of Corpses "This power... this power... is so strong!" "It's such a powerful fluctuation of mana, and it also contains such pure light energy!" "Sure enough, the Holy Light Torch Tower of the Holy White Council is a key building built by the forces of light to resist evil!" At this moment, the devout believers from the Kingdom of Aidengard who were standing next to Shen Mu were all talking in low voices. At the same time, there was an extremely surprised look in their eyes, because they had never seen a building that could exert such a powerful light force at the level of rules. This power of light even gave them the feeling that it was the kind of extremely pure light fluctuations that were once found in the big cities of the Kingdom of Aidengard, where the light magic power was extremely abundant and gathered because of the monasteries or temple strongholds. Especially just now, they had already noticed the mana fluctuation that occurred the moment the Holy Light Torch Tower of the Holy White Council placed the mana scroll on the pulpit. What is condensed inside is extremely pure light and heat belonging to the luminous energy. This is also the reason why they turned their heads and looked in the direction of the apartment buildings and residential buildings to the west, and were completely wiped out by the gray mist that seemed to be evaporating and rising.
This is because the gray mist itself represents the gathering of evil energy and is naturally restrained by light energy. When the light comes, all evil will disappear. This is a very common saying in the Kingdom of Aidengard where they were born, and it is also an oath that is almost like a fable and is highly recognized among the forces of the Holy Temple. "It seems that you have gained a lot." James also saw the surprise on the faces of these originally arrogant believers, and couldn't help but smile. After all, before, these devout believers could discuss issues such as magic with him quite harmoniously. And also taught him how to form spell structures. But James could still see that these devout believers had a subconscious self-confidence and arrogance because they were born in the world of high magic, which could not be concealed at all. Now seeing how surprised these devout believers were, of course there was a small smile in his heart. Of course, this is also a kind smile. It's not about ridicule or sarcasm. At the same time, James looked at Shen Mu. In his heart, he had even more thorough admiration for this legendary figure. "You are truly worthy of being called Lord Shen Mu." James expressed his sincere emotion at this time. But at this time Shen Mu was still immersed in his perception. "So this is the power of the Holy Light Torch Tower of the Holy White Council." Shen Mu's thoughts at this time seemed to be connected with this Holy Light Torch Tower. And looking at the area around the Holy Light Torch Tower as the center point, within a radius of 1 kilometer, which is completely occupied by the power of light, that is, the area full of light and heat, and the rules of Mount and Blade, I was quite shocked in my heart. Because he could clearly feel that the area within a radius of 1 kilometer around him had all become a territory covered by the rules of Mount and Blade. Previously, the rules of Mount and Blade only covered a small area within the low wall and within the scope of Dehrim. Further out is the Blue Star Rules, or the territory where the Undead Rules fight for each other. But now, the territory that the Blue Star Rules and the Undead Rules were fighting for control over has been occupied by the Mount and Blade Rules. Although it is a very small area, like a sesame seed, it also shows that the Mount and Blade Rules have stepped onto the chessboard and made their official debut.
This is a qualitative change. "If I can have many of these Holy Light Torch Towers of the Holy White Council, then I can form areas occupied by the Mount and Blade rules." Shen Mu was thinking in his heart at this time, and suddenly he thought of the Great Wall in China. This Holy Light Torch Tower of the White Council needs to be built in villages, towns or castles. However, once these villages, towns or castles with Holy Light Torch Towers are connected in a chain, it is equivalent to that the light power of the Holy Light Torch Towers will be completely connected as one, directly forming a large area covered by the Mount and Blade rules. It is just like hammering nails into the blue planet. As long as all these nails are gathered together, they will eventually form the spatial network possessed by the Mount and Blade rules. Then the spatial network gradually merges and solidifies, forming larger areas and territories covered by the rules of Mount and Blade. And the Mount and Blade rules will also truly appear in the Blue Star world. It became the Mount and Blade rules in addition to the current Blue Star rules, spirit world rules, undead rules, abyss rules and hell rules. A whole new set of rules. And it is a brand new rule that belongs only to Shen Mu. "Unfortunately, I still don't know how to build the Holy Light Torch Tower of the Holy White Council." Shen Mu thought about it and said in his heart: "But there should be a way, and I have already opened up the caravan to the Demon Realm Middle-earth. Now according to what I have learned, the history of the Demon Realm Middle-earth should still be in its early stages. The Demon King Sauron is still trying to resurrect, and the White Robe Wizard Saruman has not fallen yet but has begun to study the power of darkness." According to Shen Mu's understanding, the white-robed wizard Saruman is still the chairman of the White Council, and is still the powerful figure who is high above everyone else. His evil side has not yet been exposed. Moreover, according to the history of the demon world, when the white-robed wizard Saruman exposed his evil power, it was already the middle of the plot. Therefore, at this stage, it is still on the side of justice, at least on the surface. "But the White Wizard Saruman asked me for the corpses of the abyss demons for research, so maybe he has already started studying those evil orcs and has begun to study and transform the Uruk-orcs." Shen Mu touched his chin and was still thinking. "Of course, he is definitely still researching it. He didn't come up with any clues in the initial stage, so he needs these Abyss Demons of mine to provide him with some inspiration or help." In this way, Shen Mu would know that Saruman was still the white-robed wizard, still the chairman of the White Council, and did not want to tear his face off and expose the fact that he had begun to come into contact with evil and begin to degenerate. "Then, in this case, I can use the corpse of the abyss demon to trade with Saruman for the construction drawings of the Holy Light Torch Tower of the Holy White Council." Shen Mu thought about it seriously. And he believes that this method may really be possible to achieve. After all, his current identity in all Mount & Blade worlds is a legendary figure who helps the Mount & Blade world resist the world-destroying crisis of another world. Equivalent to a savior. Then, as a savior, it is not impossible to ask the forces in the Mount and Blade world that he saved for some key props or key blueprints that can resist the evil forces of the other world. Besides, the White Council itself was established to fight against evil. Although for the White Council, the evil they are fighting against is the devil Sauron in The Lord of the Rings.
But in their understanding, the evil that Shen Mu is fighting against in the other world is already an evil force more cruel than that of Lord Sauron. To a certain extent, they even need to cooperate with Lord Sauron to resist a world-destroying level of evil. After all, if Lord Sauron wins, then they can only hide temporarily and wait for the power of light to accumulate again. In the rules of Mount & Blade, even if light reaches the peak, there is still room for darkness. The same is true. When darkness reaches its peak, there is still some room for light. Both sides are complementary to each other. Although it is a confrontation, it is because of the light that darkness exists, and it is because of darkness that the preciousness of light can be revealed. The two sides even had a tacit understanding. But for the evil in the other world, it is different. Once the evil from the other world completely rushes into their Mount & Blade world, the Mount & Blade world will be completely shattered, regardless of the light or darkness in the Mount & Blade world, or the forces, kingdoms, and characters of their respective camps. Everything will be annihilated. That's right, annihilated. Everything will vanish into thin air, everything will turn into nothingness. There is no light, nor does there exist any darkness; they will be completely and thoroughly eliminated. Therefore, when facing the most essential threat, whether it is the light in the Mount and Blade world or the darkness in the Mount and Blade world, they can unite implicitly and fight against the evil forces of the other world together. This is also why Shen Mu had this idea in his mind, wanting to raise the relationship with Saruman to the corresponding level. After all, Saruman is now between light and darkness. As long as he raises his chips a little, he will be able to quickly improve Saruman's favorability, and then obtain the drawings of the Holy Light Torch Tower of the White Council through Saruman, and then build it on Blue Star to form his own Holy Light Torch Tower's regular wall. "Well, now that the torch tower has been lit, we don't need to stay here any longer." When Shen Mu thought about this, a smile appeared on his face. He felt quite satisfied. There was no need to stay on the top of the Holy Light Torch Tower. After all, the wood here had been ignited, and the mana scroll had been used to activate the light power of the Holy Light Torch Tower itself, which had successfully enabled this building to unleash all its effects. So now they need to enjoy the true light under the rules of Mount and Blade after the effect is stimulated. After all, in this originally ordinary space of Dehrim, Shen Mu now felt a warmth in his heart and deep in his soul, as if it was sunshine. Makes him quite comfortable. "Follow Lord Shen Mu, let's go." Behind Shen Mu, the Holy Tree Knights and Swadian soldiers immediately followed and walked along the elliptical staircase to the bottom of the library again. James and the believers also went down the spiral staircase and returned to the library. At this time, Shen Mu also told James, "James, now the Holy Light Torch Tower of the Holy White Council is under your management. I hope you can take good care of the brazier on top of the torch tower so that it always has burning wood. I also hope you can put the mana scroll on the podium in time to replenish the mana consumption of the torch." After all, the brazier in the Holy Light Torch Tower of the Holy White Council cannot be extinguished, and the pulpit also needs a mana scroll to replenish the mana consumption. Can't live without people.
It was a perfect fit for James, who had been assigned by Shen Mu to the library to learn magic from the Aidengard believers, to manage the torch tower. "Understood. I will take good care of the construction of the Holy Light Torch Tower." James nodded seriously at this time, and bowed very respectfully. He understood the importance of the Holy Light Torch Tower, so he was quite serious when he was appointed as the manager of the Torch Tower. "And you, the devout believers from Aidengard." Shen Mu nodded at this time and looked at those believers. There were a total of 20 people. After a pause, he said, "You are spellcasters and understand the fluctuations of the law. At the critical moment, I hope you can assist James to take care of the torch tower of the Holy White Council so that it will not go out and the mana will not be lost. I wonder if you can do it?" "Of course, Lord Shen Mu, we will do our best to assist Mr. James and look after the Torch Tower of the Holy White Council." These 20 devout believers of Aidengard did not have the slightest intention of refusing. Instead, they all responded seriously, nodded solemnly to Shen Mu, and bowed in greeting with their hands on their chests. "Very good." Shen Mu also nodded at this time. James plus these believers is double insurance. If anything happens, they can react quickly. After all, the importance of the Holy Light Torch Tower of the Holy White Council to Shen Mu is self-evident. After all, the reason why the entire Dehrim and the outside space can return to normal is all thanks to this torch tower. In other words, the rules of Mount and Blade are released through the power of light of this torch tower. Of course, the Holy Light Torch Tower of the Holy White Council is also indispensable, this extremely important medium. So Shen Mu takes it very seriously. "Manid and Torres, follow me now." Shen Mu shook his head gently and looked at Manid and Torres who were standing in the corner and still listening attentively. "Lord Shen Mu." Ma Lide and Torres responded immediately. "Come on, let's go back to the noble mansion." Shen Mu spoke, and led the Holy Tree Knights and Swadian soldiers behind him towards the noble mansion. However, as he walked, he seemed to have thought of something, so he instructed the Holy Tree Knight next to him: "Now I need you to send someone to find Bandak and ask him to arrange some elite soldiers to garrison at the bottom of the Torch Tower of the Holy White Council as sentinels and guards, and obey James's arrangements." "Understood." A Holy Tree Knight responded immediately, then saluted and walked to the side to find Bandak to convey Shen Mu's orders. And Bandak was found soon. Then, following a few orders from Bandak, 20 saboteurs from the Lake Rat Gang were separated and came to the warehouse of the Holy Light Torch Tower with strong and muscular steps, becoming the guards and sentinels here. It also successfully isolated the Holy Light Torch Tower of the Holy White Council, turning it into a separate and extremely important building. Not everyone can come and go freely. Of course, these are not what Shen Mu cares about. His orders have been issued, so Bandak will naturally help him implement his orders. That's the benefit of being the boss. It is also a manifestation of power. After returning to the noble mansion, Shen Mu sat in his seat at the head again, and motioned Manide and Torres to sit on his left and right.
At the same time, he looked at Torres and asked, "I see that you brought back dozens of carriages full of various goods this time. Now I think you can report the specific situation." After all, this time Torres went to the White Tower area of the demonic Middle-earth world. He also wanted to hear what Torres had seen. "Oh, that's right, Lord Shen Mu." Then Torres described what he had seen and heard along the way, as well as the customs and people of Middle-earth in The Lord of the Rings, and the various things he encountered based on his memory. Of course, the most important thing is the cargo that fills 50 carriages. "Are you saying that this is a gift sent to me by the white-robed wizard Saruman and his men?" Shen Mu raised his eyebrows slightly. No wonder he felt something was not right when he saw so many horse-drawn carriages. After all, there were too many supplies loaded on the carriages. After all, at the beginning, the caravan heading to the Baita area consisted of only 20 carriages. "Yes, it is the gift that Lord Saruman entrusted me to give you." Torres replied, "And Lord Saruman also entrusted me to express his respect and gratitude to you, and hoped that you could provide more corpses of the abyss demons so that he could study these evil creatures and find their weaknesses, so that the forces of light can more easily target these evil creatures." "Oh, so that's how it is." Shen Mu nodded. Although he heard all these words, he also understood that these were just some tricks of Saruman. These are some official words with high sounding meaning. After all, he knew that Saruman had begun to study the evil power originating from the devil Sauron. It is even more interesting to think about how the corpses of these abyss demons are used and studied. "But if that's the case, it seems that I can provide him with more than just the corpses of the Abyss Demons." Shen Mu pondered: "The corpses of those hell demons can also be provided to him. After all, the hell demons are also evil creatures, and they are a different kind of evil creature from the abyss demons." Shen Mu seemed to have found some way to make money, and a smile appeared on his lips: "After all, the corpses of the abyss demons can help him in his research, so who says that the corpses of these hell demons can't help his research?" They are all corpses anyway and can be sold at the same price. For Shen Mu, it was just recycling! (End of this chapter)
