Don't call me evil god

Chapter 585 Temporary Lull

With the Punishment Core in hand, Nowen finally dared to let his believers sign a contract with the devil to borrow power.

In this respect, the devil is far inferior to the gods of the New Huili era.

Look at how readily the believers respond when they use the magic of other gods or unleash the magic of the goddess of magic.
Give you whatever you need, without any ambiguity.

The power of the devil is not so reassuring to use.

Previously, Nowen had always been wary of Raphael.

The other party is a devil after all.

The devil is notorious for his cunning and treachery, but he is also notorious for his fear of death and selfishness.

No one knows whether they will suddenly turn against their allies at a critical moment for their own interests, or stab their allies without warning.

In order to protect their own interests, they would not hesitate to stab even the mortals who had signed a contract with them in the back.

Now, Nowen has mastered a method of punishment specifically targeting the devil.

The devil can only preserve their interests if they are still alive.

Under the premise that if he violated the contract, his soul would be annihilated by the thunder of punishment, Raphael didn't dare to make any back-stabbing moves again.

Otherwise, the red lightning would fly over his head in the next second.

……

The mess at the Stone Fort was almost cleaned up, and the dwarves' lives were barely back to normal.

There were dwarves who offered their faith to the God of Knowledge and became new believers, as well as some old believers who came from Ceylon. They came here to gain legendary experience and to protect the Stone Fortress from monsters that escaped from the Distorted Wetlands. Just like hunting and eliminating monsters in the Dark Forest, the Distorted Wetlands became a new hunting ground.

As for going deep into the Distortion Wetlands, facing the evil monster suppressed by the dragon, completely destroying it and solving the pollution problem at the root, it is impossible for the current believers of knowledge and dwarves to do so.

As time goes by, the severity of the void pollution in the Distortion Wetland Suppression Area is no different from that in the depths of the Dark Forest.

He didn't have time to attack the evil monster before he was almost contaminated and transformed into a new monster.

The warning issued by the dragon was correct. The depths of the distorted wetlands have become a new forbidden zone for civilization. At this stage, anyone who goes there will die.

It is foreseeable that the battle to hunt monsters in the Distorted Wetlands will be a long-term task and cannot be completed in a day or two.

As for the other dwarves who did not participate in the battle, their work was also hard.

The Wall of Edson needs to be rebuilt;
This alone requires the concerted efforts of the dwarves in the entire production chain:

Sufficient metal ores were dug from the depths of the mountains and the ground beneath the aberration wetlands;
After the iron is transported to the furnace, it will be smelted into qualified iron ingots or other metal products.
Finally, it will be sent to the Wall of Edson, and under the leadership of the dwarf in charge of the construction work, the reconstruction of the Wall of Edson will be completed.

With the combat experience of blocking the Stone Monster, the dwarves unanimously voted to agree that the new Wall of Edson needs to be stronger and have more windows for defensive counterattacks while ensuring defensive capabilities.

of course.

These things have little to do with the Nowen believers who came from afar.

Industry specializing in surgery.

Whether it was mining, forging iron or building iron walls, the believers of the Seeking Knowledge Church who were mainly responsible for fighting knew basically nothing. After eradicating the cancer of the Supreme Truth Church that was secretly entrenched in the Stone Fort, Pete and others continued to stay in the Stone Fort to help with the aftermath. Now that they saw that the Stone Fort was gradually returning to normal operation, they planned to return.

It’s not that they don’t want to continue investigating matters related to the Church of the Supreme Truth, but it’s difficult to make further progress with the clues for the time being.

For example, the true identity of the messenger. Her body began to rot, deteriorate and stink after her death. It didn't look like she had just been killed. Instead, it looked like a dead corpse that had been placed in a coffin and buried underground to rot for hundreds of years.

The believers were unable to find much useful information from her body.

The only thing we know is that the final appearance of the messenger after transformation is that of a gray dwarf race living in the deep regions.

The Deep Region is located very deep underground in the continent of Plantis. It is said that there is even an ancient passage leading directly to the bottom of the Misty Sea. It is the habitat of gray dwarves and dark elves. Because there is no sunlight, a large number of strange and peculiar lives there.

To most surface races, the Deeplands are little more than a figment of legend.

It is widely known that there are only two entrances to the deep areas on the continent of Prentis.

A northern kingdom at the northernmost tip of the continent.

The ants, who are good at digging underground tunnels, used the strength of the entire tribe to open up a passage to the deep areas.

If you want to go to the Northern Kingdom without going through the Deep Regions, you either have to take the not-so-safe sea route from the capital of Reyak or Green Harbor, or you have to climb up and cross the Frostfire Plateau, which is also not an easy choice.

Even worse.

With the arrival of winter, both routes have been temporarily closed.

The sea area near the Northern Kingdom will begin to freeze due to the low temperature, and ships will stop sailing until the beginning of next spring.

Not to mention the Frostfire Plateau, the continuous snowfall throughout the winter will turn the plateau into a forbidden zone for life. Even the bravest adventurer who dares to set foot there will surely end up getting lost in the blizzard and turning into an ice sculpture buried deep in the snow.

The entrance to another deep area is located in the stone fortress. If nothing unexpected happens, it is likely to be the place where the "envoy" of the Supreme Truth Church arrived at the stone fortress.

On the second floor of the stone fortress, there is a large elevator that leads directly to the deep area. It is larger and more solid than the one at the Edson Wall. It was once managed and maintained by the Locke family, one of the nine major families.

This large elevator is activated once a month at a fixed time to exchange materials between the surface and the deep areas. Occasionally, gray dwarves and dark elves will take the large elevator to the surface or return to the underground.

Especially the dark elves. During the period when the spirit of joy prevailed in the Kingdom of Reyak, many dark elves came to the ground through this route.

Unfortunately, when the messenger was destroyed, the brainwashed dwarves went crazy collectively, and in the process of crazy and indiscriminate attacks, the large elevator was severely damaged.

This big thing is more difficult to maintain than the Edson Wall.

The Edson Wall is only a hundred meters high in total, and the large elevator leading to the deep area is thousands of meters vertically deep. Not to mention that the dwarves cannot spare enough manpower to repair it in a short period of time, even if it needs to be repaired, it cannot be done in a short time.

The action to track down the messenger based on his race has been temporarily put on hold and is difficult to advance.

Another piece of information that could barely be considered a clue was equally difficult to track down.
