Don't call me evil god

Chapter 856 "Warp Anchor Deployed"

The former Reyak Kingdom, no, it should be said, the former Plantis continent.

The warlock, as a special extraordinary profession, cannot be said to be notorious, but it is almost hated by everyone.

Regardless of reputation or status, they don't even have the chance to sit at the same table with the stealth fighters, let alone be compared with the superiors like priests and mages.

no way.

The profession itself is linked to the "soul" in terms of casting conditions, and the involuntary contract with the devil makes it difficult for warlocks to be trusted.

Those powerful stealth fighters would occasionally become famous, robbing the rich to help the poor, assassinating corrupt officials, priests, or unscrupulous merchants and nobles, which gave them a good reputation among the common people.

Warlocks are different.

Even with a spell like the [Summoning Ritual] that is almost completely harmless to the recipient, others would still hesitate in their hearts, wondering if they would be summoned into a secret room or a cave, and then have their souls extracted and crushed into pieces by an evil sorcerer.

In short, these guys are not popular.

The requirements to become a warlock are very harsh. One needs to pass the devil's test and successfully read the book of cursed knowledge. These thresholds further lead to the scarcity of warlocks.

What's even more difficult is that the spells cast by warlocks are not "cheaper" than those cast by mages, and some are even more expensive.

For example, the spell [Summoning Ritual].

You don’t know until you learn. Once you learn, you’ll be surprised.

At the current market price, the cost of materials required to successfully complete a summoning is nearly 1 gold coins!
The situation is similar with other spells.

Especially those spells that summon hellish minions or torture souls are basically "big money burners".

The only "fire" spells that save money are those related to Hellfire.

This made the already not very prosperous warlock industry even worse.

I learned the spell, but I can't afford to use it!

The cultists of the Church of the Supreme Truth have a powerful financial sponsor, Rune Monge, who gives them huge amounts of gold coins, allowing them to cast spells and hold rituals without restraint.

Norman's followers are not so generous and have to be very careful when using their magic for fear of going bankrupt.

Among the thousands of people in the Church of Knowledge, only a few dozen warlocks can be found now.

But at this moment they have become the key to saving this disaster!
……

Countess Ceylon drew out her staff without hesitation.

"Telepor, Tations, Technik!"

An elliptical astral passage opened up in front of her, and inside was a mysterious scene with blue and purple light flashing from time to time.

She has handed over command to her deputy. The next task of the main force of the royal army is to retreat and guard the two cities of Dawn City and Ceylon City. It is meaningless to continue to stay on the border.

As you step into the astral passage, the crack closes.

After a few seconds.

In an open space in the City of Dawn, with the rapid distortion and fluctuation of space, a crack was created in the environment, and Frigga Ceylan was spewed out from the astral dimension.

Following the task instructions given by Nowen, the Countess quickly found a dozen warlocks who had also received the task and were responsible for setting up the [Summoning Ceremony]!
Looking at the outfits and appearances of these sorcerers, the Countess of Ceylon's eyes twitched a few times.

A bone necklace made from skulls of unknown animals;
A soul fragment bag that exudes a strange smell;
There are also hellhounds with saliva dripping from their mouths, gray-skinned succubi dressed in revealing clothes, and hell demons jumping around with green sparks popping out of their bodies from time to time!

No wonder these guys are so hard to trust!

This attire, this posture! It looks as if he is going to serve the devil lord and is ready to harvest souls in the mortal world and offer them to hell!

"This is an emergency, so I'll keep it short."

The Countess of Ceylon explained succinctly:
"I will immediately send some of you to the Earldom of Kalezi. You need to set up a temporary base there and start the [Summoning Ceremony] as soon as possible to continuously summon the people who arrive here to the Earldom of Kalezi!"

"The mission of the other group is more dangerous. They need to go to the No. 2 border defense line of Kalezi Territory, which is the final destination of the teleportation. We need to gather our forces and eliminate the real culprit who caused the destruction of the [Past Glory] barrier!"

"Make a decision and assign personnel as soon as possible!"

A middle-aged man who was dressed the most "exaggeratedly" immediately responded quickly:

"My Lady Countess, please rest assured that we have also received the mission oracle from the God of Knowledge!"

“This was all arranged before you got here!”

The middle-aged man said, pointing at several warlocks:
"Me, Als, Ike, Gulte Dan, and Moss."

"We are the five strongest, so the most dangerous place will be handed over to us. Please take us to the No. 5 border defense line of Kalezi Territory."

"Look, we have even summoned the Hell Servant. With their protection, we should be able to hold out until reinforcements are summoned!"

"Oh, by the way, my name is Eberlock, you can call me Eber!"

The Countess of Ceylon nodded with satisfaction.

Although she has had similar experiences many times, she is still deeply moved. The believers of Nowen, the god of knowledge, no matter what their origins, occupations, or identities are, never fail to deliver in the face of such major events!
There is the attention, protection and guidance of the gods above.

All believers work together!

With faith as the bond, no one would play tricks at this time. Everyone has the same goal, which is to prevent this disaster!

"My Lady Countess, I give these to you. They are the tokens used during summoning."

Ebonlocke gestured to the pile of lavender magic crystals in the corner.

"There are different letters engraved on the crystal. They are the initials of our names, corresponding to different tokens."

"Once we get there and successfully build the summoning ceremony site, you can hold the crystal here and respond to the summons, and we'll take you to Kalezi Territory!"

"Also, we need more spellcasting materials!"

The Countess of Ceylon said excitedly:

"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with these!"

"The materials have been arranged and are being dispatched."

"I will send you to the Kalezi Territory first. Hurry up and get more materials. I will personally send them to you later!"

"As for the others, quickly gather those who are still near the summoning point in Misty Valley and prepare for the relay summoning!"

Completed communication with the warlocks.

The Countess slashed open the illusion light curtain with her left hand and sent the edited message to the goblin lord Hugo Xiwei on the outskirts of the Dark Forest:
"The warp anchor has been deployed!"

"Get ready to start summoning!"
