What era is it, still traditional card making

Chapter 760 The Truth

Father Lang Bo looked over, still with a kind smile on his face:

"Every demon has to complete a ceremony of engraving an inscription when they are born. You and the priests like us are no exception. We are able to survive on this land because of the favor of King Gu Lei."

  After that, he walked over and continued:

"Well, did you see what you wanted to see, Wanderer?"

Ye Qiong and his companions' behavior from beginning to end was out of line with that of other believers, so it was normal for Father Lang Bo to make such a judgment.

The so-called wanderers are demons who have abandoned their faith in King Gu Lei and denied the inscriptions in their bodies.

Their characteristics are always obvious, that is, they sneer at King Gu Lei, have no faith, have very few inscriptions on their bodies, and only rely on their strong bodies and extraordinary willpower to survive on this land.

Ye Qiong nodded, and then answered the old priest's question:

"Indeed I saw it."

"That's good. King Gu Lei cares for his descendants equally, even for rebellious guys like you. If one day your body can't bear it anymore, then come to me. I will carve an inscription on your body and show you favor on behalf of King Gu Lei."

After saying this, he continued to kneel in front of the huge statue, waiting for the next baby to be born.

  No matter from which perspective, this old demon is not a bad guy.

Even when dealing with these suspicious outsiders, he did not speak harshly to them, but always persuaded them with kind words to regain their faith in King Gu Lei.

If it were an ordinary demon, he would be moved by his behavior.

But unfortunately, Ye Qiong was once a real god. He understood better than anyone that the so-called gods also have emotions,

  Is King Gu Lei really a god who selflessly devotes everything he has?

In fact, this point still needs to be explored.

At least from Ye Qiong's perspective, King Gu Lei's approach is not particularly successful.

  The three of them left the temple.

As soon as they arrived at a remote place, Cornelia couldn't help but share her discovery with her brother:

"That inscription is wrong."

  Ye Qiong nodded, signaling Cornelia to continue.

Soon, she told Ye Qiong what she had discovered.

According to her original guess, the so-called inscription is like the key to the warehouse, and the body of the demon is the warehouse, and the magic power is sealed in the warehouse.

By doing this, the demons' bodies can gradually adapt to the existence of magic power and gradually become resistant to magic.

  Although this solution is not a cure for the symptoms, it is at least barely usable.

But unfortunately, after watching the ceremony, Cornelia found that her guess was completely wrong.

The body of the demon tribe is indeed like a warehouse, but the function of the inscription is not to serve as the key to the warehouse.

Instead, it is stored in the warehouse as magic stones.

In this way, the demons will continuously absorb magic power in their daily lives and store it in the magic stones.

  If the magic power storage capacity of the magic stone has reached its limit, the solution is very simple. Just place another magic stone in the warehouse.

If one day the warehouse is full of space, things will be even simpler.

Just wait until you die.

  There is a clear difference between the two plans. The plan that Knelia guessed is indeed unreliable, but this plan can bring a future to the demons in a sense.

After hundreds of years of civilization development, perhaps they will be able to completely adapt to the existence of magic and evolve into a physique that can adapt to the magic of the Tak Continent.

As for the second option, it can only be described as outrageous. Not only does it completely deprive the demon race of their future possibilities, it also uses their bodies as a tool.

The magic in the inscription has nothing to do with them.

Even if the demon spontaneously combusts due to excessive magic power in the future, the inscription will still be intact.

At that time, the magic stone that stored huge magic power was preserved.

  Even though Ye Qiong and his friends had just arrived, they could understand how valuable this inscription that stored a huge amount of magic power was.

As long as they have the inscriptions, they can release high-level magic without restraint, without having to worry about running out of magic power.

  If you want to know whether the church or even King Gu Lei engraved inscriptions on ordinary demons for this purpose, the method is very simple.

You can find out by looking up where the demon's body went after it spontaneously combusted.

If it was taken away by the temple or some nobles, then they would definitely understand the beauty of this inscription.

Then the purpose of King Gu Lei in creating the inscription remains to be explored.

  Of course, it is also possible that the Temple and King Gu Lei knew nothing about this, and simply because of their own shallow talents, they did bad things with good intentions.

But is this really possible?

Ye Qiong didn't believe that a civilization had been developing for so many years and no one had realized that the existence of the inscription was depriving the demon race of their future.

Cornelia obviously knew what to do next, and looked at Ye Qiong with a searching look in her eyes.

In response, Ye Qiong simply replied:

"It's up to you to decide."

Cornelia nodded firmly, she understood that this was a test from her brother.

She turned around and found Cornelia to discuss countermeasures.

  After a while, a white light enveloped their bodies, hiding them.

Then Sabrina led the way, and apparently she had found the whereabouts of the spontaneous combustion man.

They rushed here quickly and found a charred body in a dilapidated wooden house.

Although the body had been completely burnt, the light blue inscription was still clearly visible.

  After a while, they heard a burst of hurried footsteps.

Someone is coming here.

Soon, they saw a demon in white priest uniform walking in, followed by several masked men who seemed to be the priest's guards.

After seeing the corpse on the ground, the priest sighed as if blaming himself, and then said:

"Alas, it's still a step too late."

The tall guard beside him said:

"Priest Baron, you have done your best. Ever since you learned about the spontaneous combustion here, you have been rushing here."

"In the end, nothing was saved."

After saying this, he sighed again, then waved his hand and continued:

“Forget it. At this point, the only thing I can do is to send him to see the merciful King Gu Lei.

Kazakh, collect the body and send it back to the temple. I will personally pray for his soul and bid him farewell to this cruel world."

  "As you command." The guard named Kazakh walked forward quickly. After seeing the glowing inscription on the corpse, a greedy look appeared on his face.

After that, he quickly put the body away and turned away.

Seeing this, Sabrina asked:

"Want to follow?"

  Cornelia shook her head and then replied:

"Do I need to follow? Isn't the answer written on their faces?"

All I can say is that she is worthy of being the Origin Witch who is famous for her wisdom. She has analyzed the truth of the matter just by looking at the expressions of the priests and guards.

Their guess was not wrong. The so-called inscription was really a good thing.

It was so good that even the self-proclaimed merciful priest and the seemingly upright guards could not help but show their greed.

  Even his own people are like this. Can King Gu Lei, who created the inscription, really stay out of it and plead his innocence?

Based on Ye Qiong's many years of experience, this so-called Ancient Thunder King is most likely not a good thing.

After all, they came here to eliminate the element of destruction, and teaching the demons magic was secondary.

The element that can cause the destruction of a world cannot be a simple thing.

Is it really possible for a race that has only developed for a few hundred years to achieve this?

The answer is obviously impossible.

  The demons cannot become the element of destruction. They cannot have this ability.

The only ones who are truly capable of this are the inscriptions accumulated by the demon race over hundreds of years.

  Such a huge amount of magic power is more than enough to destroy a world.

There is no need for complicated spells, just put these inscriptions together and detonate them.

  Of course, this would only be done by an explosive freak who simply wants to destroy everything.

If the person behind the scenes is smart enough, he will definitely use this huge magic power to do something big.

For example, breaking down the barriers of the world,

For example, stealing the origin of the world,

Relying on this huge magical power, it is entirely possible to achieve this level.

  After the priest left, Cornelia did not take any action, but stayed where she was, thinking about what she should do next.

The existence of inscriptions is obviously not conducive to the development of the demon race.

  If they want to continue to live on this land, they must abolish the inscription system and teach them magic.

The easiest way to accomplish this is to crush the authority of the church and the royal family and let ordinary demons realize that the so-called inscriptions are not good things.

However, this kind of thing is easy to say, but how should it be done?

  Carving inscriptions has become a deep-rooted custom of the demons. Just relying on a few words from outsiders like them is definitely not enough to change their minds.

Therefore, if we want to solve the problem, we may need to start with the inscription itself.

Cornelia told Ye Qiong her idea, but he did not comment on it. He just asked Cornelia to try her idea.

After getting Ye Qiong's reply, Cornelia began to act.

First, they came to the temple and stole the self-ignited demon corpse.

Cornelia did this in order to study the inscriptions on the corpse and find a way to modify them.

  It took her less than three days to develop a new type of inscription.

Cornelia named this new type of inscription the Magic Rune.

  As long as it is engraved on the body, the absorbed magic power can be transferred to the magic runes on the body.

Unlike inscriptions, magic runes do not just have the function of saving magic power.

  It can continuously consume magic power to improve the physical quality of the engraved one.

In addition, the engraved one can also use magic by using the special spells engraved on the magic words to consume the excess magic power in the body.

It only took such a short time to research the advanced version of the inscription, which shows Cornelia's talent in magic.

She was extremely confident in the magic runes she created, and as soon as she finished researching them, she gave them to Ye Qiong to look at.

There is naturally nothing wrong with this thing, but Ye Qiong is not particularly optimistic about the magic runes.

He asked Cornelia:

"How do you plan to change the habits that the demons have preserved for hundreds of years?"

  In response to this question, Cornelia just smiled confidently and replied:

"It's simple. We just need to promote it a little bit in Pearl City. Once they see the benefits of magic runes, they will naturally come to us to learn how to engrave magic runes."

"What if no demons paid any attention to you from the beginning? Then they wouldn't be able to see the benefits of this thing."

"Then, we use jewelry to ask for favors?"

Hearing this, Ye Qiong just nodded silently and handed it over to Cornelia.

Soon, the two of them began to act.

Cornelia and Sabrina came to the street and began to promote the magic runes they had transformed through inscriptions.

  When the promotion first started, many traditional demons did not hide their disgust for magic words.

Some extreme demons even wanted to smash Cornelia's booth.

If it weren't for the fact that they were both so powerful, they would have been driven out of the city by these conservative demons long ago.

  The two of them did not lose heart, and found a down-and-out demon, and in front of many residents of Mingzhu City, they carved magic words for him.

This public experiment was very successful. The demon, who had originally looked pale, instantly became much more relaxed. The burden caused by the heavy magic power on his body seemed to be alleviated in an instant, and he felt unprecedented relief.

After this experiment, some demons have changed their views on the existence of magic words.

But still no one was willing to be the second experimental subject.

Just when Cornelia was about to strike while the iron was hot, the priest of the temple arrived.

She was smart and knew that the priests would hinder their actions, so she made preparations early on.

After a dispute, she played a video she had recorded in the temple.

  In this video, the priest of the temple changed from his usual kindness to extremely greedy, using a sharp dagger to scrape off the inscriptions on the corpse.

It is not difficult to tell from his expression and actions that the so-called inscription seems to be an extremely precious treasure in his eyes.

Next, Cornelia revealed even more shocking information, revealing a secret conversation of the priest.

  Just when the ordinary demons were angry and wanted to go to the temple to seek an explanation, the old priest named Lang Bo came out.

There was no trace of panic on his face, and he said to Cornelia cheerfully:

"So this is the method you thought of to shake the foundation of the temple? A wandering outsider."
