Chapter 380 Olivia's Promise

As the Great Stink's range and effects continued to expand, the only ranked players left unaffected were God's Tongue, Wu Chang's original body, and Shin Wo.

Looking at the members of the Mystic Knights who were in a weakened state, Wu Chang began to worry, wondering whether he should transport them to the Gray Church Slums and use the Kingdom of God to dispel their weakness.

Just as he was hesitating, the Tongue of God moved.

He had been standing there, as if sensing something. As if he had made some preparations, he stretched out his hand into the air and grabbed a stream of colorful root power out of thin air.

He looked at the ball of colorful root power in his hand that was flashing with colorful light and emitting a strong stench. A tragic look appeared on his face, and he frowned and stuffed it into his mouth.

vomit!
God's Tongue possesses the power of the origin of food, and his name in the game also reflects his confidence in his taste buds.

When the person with the God's Tongue eats that ball of stinky polymer root power, it is like throwing a person with severe mysophobia into the Hills River.

Divine Tongue retched as it staggered to the dining table. It took out various ingredients with extraordinary powers from its portable space and began to mix them together.

His hands were extremely fast. In just over ten seconds, he had mixed more than twenty kinds of extraordinary items in more than ten different ways into a cup of golden liquid.

Then he divided the liquid into corresponding portions according to the number of people and fed them to everyone to drink.

After drinking the "cocktail potion" prepared by the Tongue of God, the pain on the faces of both the plane natives and the abyss game players was relieved.

The Tongue of God also reserved a cup for Wu Chang's original body and true self, but did not keep any share for himself.

The root power representing the great stench seemed to only make God's Tongue feel nauseous and had no effect on him.

Wu Chang raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking of a mythological story about Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs.

No wonder Leng Shan had previously guessed that the source of power of the Divine Tongue was related to eating and digestion. What the Divine Tongue was doing now was like the copy strategy version of Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs.

His root ability allows him to be immune to negative effects to a large extent, and he can even turn negative effects into food, eat it directly, digest it, and analyze it.

While the Divine Tongue was operating, Wu Chang took out the Omniscient Crystal and analyzed the entire movement of the Divine Tongue.

After all, what the Tongue of God made was for everyone present to drink. What if he got poisoned by the root power of the Great Stink and made something deadly? Wouldn't that mean the Arcane Knights would be wiped out in one wave?

According to the analysis of the Omniscient Crystal, the ability of the Tongue of God to mix the golden liquid just now was not a combat ability, but the professional skills of the secondary professions of chef and pharmacist. Moreover, the Tongue of God has upgraded these two secondary professions to the Grandmaster level.

Two master-level secondary occupations, combined with his ability to digest and analyze negative states, make him very effective as a team support.

He was able to remove the great stench of the root power level with only dozens of not-so-precious extraordinary items. This method made Wu Chang re-examine the strength of the ranked players.

You know, God's Tongue is a lone wolf player. It was only after he became famous that he relied on the traffic of star players to monetize and gradually created a small force belonging to him and several companions.

Compared to other players in the rankings, God's Tongue's foundation is only lower-middle or average, if not the worst.

Players ranked at the top of the four major organizations, such as Lengshan and Phantom, definitely have a foundation far superior to that of God's Tongue.

If it was a comparison of pure combat power or copy strategy, Wu Chang might not lose to them, but they have been in the Abyss Game for too long, and if he underestimated them, he might suffer a great loss.

Wu Chang collected his thoughts, and walked towards the still retching God's Tongue with his true self, and asked:

"Are you ok?"

God's Tongue gave a forced smile and said:
"Don't worry about me, I'll recover in a while."

Wu Chang nodded and said, "The extraordinary items you just used are all your own treasures. Make a list of how much you have consumed and I will reimburse you."

God's Tongue was stunned for a moment. Since entering the Abyss Game, he had experienced hundreds of dungeons, big and small, but this was the first time he heard that consumed items could be reimbursed by asking the natives of the plane.

The things he consumed were not precious compared to those of the ranked players, but it still cost several thousand Corrupt Silver Coins to replenish them, so it was naturally a good thing to be able to reimburse them.

"Thank you." After thanking Wu Chang, he began to copy down the consumed items while holding back his dry retching.

While my true self was talking to the Tongue of God, Wu Chang's real body went to find Raventon.

He looked at Reventon, whose legs were weak, and asked, "What do you think about what just happened?"

Ravington took out his pipe from his bosom, took two fierce puffs, and said:

"Once this trouble is resolved, I must apply to stay in the New World for a while."

As a detective, he always believed that brains were better than brute force, but this was based on a prerequisite, that is, the gap in strength between the two sides could not be too great.

For example, in the last confrontation with the Steam Parliament, he only needed to use his brain to easily destroy the opponent's conspiracy. Except for the final crushing encirclement and suppression, he didn't even take action at other times.

But things are different now. The Steam Parliament doesn't even need to meet him. They just need to create a big stink to make him lose his ability to fight.

He couldn't accept this gap.

After five years in the new world, Wu Chang was able to be reborn and was completely unaffected by the great stench.

With his intelligence and talent, even if he can't reach Wu Chang's level in the New World, he can at least reach half of it.

Wu Chang shrugged and said without comment:

"I look forward to your future adventure in the new world, but before that, you need to check the arrangements we have made."

Before the Great Stink occurred, Wu Chang and Ravington were worried that the Steam Parliament's big move would target important departments of Stilan, such as the Prime Minister's Residence and Stilan Palace, so Ravington set up early warning magic along the way to Henry's house.

If the Steam Parliament attacks several important locations, he will be notified first.

Raventon sensed it for a moment, a puzzled look appeared on his face, and he said:
"None of the warning spells were triggered. It seems they just caused the stench and didn't take any further action. There's no need to worry for now."

Wu Chang said slowly:

"If I told you that the cause of this great stench was the machines that made extraordinary steam explosives running at full capacity, producing steam explosives on a super large scale, would you still say that there was no need to worry for the time being?"

After hearing this, Raventon's heart skipped a beat, and the pipe in his mouth fell out.

"How did you know?"

Wu Chang said calmly: "Of course it's inspiration."

He was able to know this, of course, thanks to the All-Knowing Crystal.

The Omniscient Crystal cannot achieve foresight without any information, but now the Omniscient Crystal has seen steam explosives, the hidden information deciphered from the King's badge, and even knows the formula of steam explosives deduced by Luca.

In this case, it would be easy for the Omniscient Crystal to find out the source of the great stench.

Ravington was silent for a moment, picked up the pipe on the ground, took out a handkerchief to wipe off the dust on it, put it back in his mouth, and said:
"What on earth are they planning to do? That amount of steam explosives is probably enough to turn the entire White House Street into a deep pit."

Wu Chang said: "Not really."

Ravington wondered, "How can such a large-scale anomaly be produced by producing such a small amount of steam explosives?"

Wu Chang explained: "I mean, the steam explosives they produce are not that weak. If they were to explode, it would not turn Baishe Street into a deep pit, but it would at least flatten a quarter of Grimland."

Raventon was speechless for a moment, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he clapped a few times.

"That's really exciting news. Instead of arresting the Steam Parliament, it seems we should choose a suitable cemetery."

Wu Chang said: "In other words, we should find the factory that manufactures steam explosives before they complete their arrangement and stop their conspiracy first."

Ravington showed hope in his eyes and asked:
"Your inspiration even told you the location of the factory that produces explosives?"

Wu Chang curled his lips, "Of course not, what do you think inspiration is?"

Raventon pursed his lips and gave a polite smile. If Wu Chang wasn't his superior, he would have cursed him.

In all of Grimland, or in all of Stirland, Wu Chang is the person least qualified to say this.

Wu Chang looked at the items that were moved back from Henry's house and said, "Perhaps there are clues to the explosives factory hidden in Henry's destroyed newspapers."

"What you need to do now is to use your connections to get a full set of Hills newspapers, and then let Nestor cooperate with you to select the suspicious parts based on Henry's movements."

"When I was away, these arcane knights followed your instructions, including peace."

Raventon asked in confusion, "What about you?" Wu Chang pointed behind him and said, "I have other things to do."

Raventon followed Wu Chang's gaze and saw Julie appear at the entrance of the secret security department.

It goes without saying that Julie's appearance at this time must represent Queen Olivia.

Wu Chang nodded to Julie. Before walking towards her, he went to find the Tongue of God and asked:
"Is the list ready?"

God's Tongue took out a list and handed it to Wu Chang, whispering, "Some of the materials in it were not used in full, only two-thirds were used. Can I report more?"

Wu Chang said: "Of course, can you only reimburse half of the cost?"

Half a minute later, Wu Chang took the list given to him by God's Tongue, and behind God's Tongue he added the prefix "three copies" before each line of material, and then walked towards Julie.

Julie looked at the busy arcane knights and said, "Her Majesty the Queen wants to see you."

Wu Chang said: "All members of the Mystic Knights are ready to serve your majesty at any time."

Wu Chang got into Julie's carriage and left No. 6 White House Street. He noticed that the carriage was not heading towards the Stellan Palace where the Queen lived, but towards St. George's Cathedral.

On the way, Julie looked at Wu Chang and said:
"When Her Majesty sent me here, she was thinking of taking you all back to the church, but from the looks of you, you seem unaffected by this great stench."

Wu Chang sighed and said, "In order to eliminate the negative impact of this great stench and be ready to serve Her Majesty the Queen at any time, we have paid a huge price to configure extraordinary potions."

"This expenditure came from a secret knight under my command. I have already promised that secret knight that I will compensate him for his losses in full, so..."

Julie said as a matter of course: "Stian will remember his efforts. You make a list and I will help you collect the extraordinary items you need to consume."

Wu Chang took out the list made by God's Tongue and said, "Great, I asked him to prepare the list in advance."

The carriage soon arrived at St. George's Cathedral. Just by taking a look at the church, Wu Chang knew why Julie was not affected.

At this moment, the role of St. George's Cathedral is similar to that of Irene's Grey Church. Both serve as a gathering point of faith, supporting a small piece of the kingdom of God and blocking the steam rules from entering.

In St. George's Cathedral, Wu Chang saw Queen Olivia with a sad look on her face.

Although Olivia is the queen, as a transcendent, she is not even as good as an ordinary arcane knight, let alone Julie.

Olivia seemed somewhat helpless when faced with a supernatural event of this magnitude.

Seeing Wu Chang coming, she looked relieved and said:

"Sir Sean, I'm glad to see you arrived safely."

"I believe that Archbishop Julie and I don't need to say much. You can see the abnormality of this great stench. The secret police were completely unprepared for this matter. They don't even know whether it came from the Church of Tranquility or other forces."

"The International Industrial Expo is coming soon. This is a turning point for Stian. We must solve this big stench as soon as possible and not let it affect the progress of the Expo."

Olivia made the statement in an unquestionable queen's tone, and then softened her tone and said softly:
"Sir Sean, this is the most important time for the empire. As the Royal Sword, I can only rely on you."

"As long as you can help the empire through this crisis, no matter what you want, as long as it is within my ability, I can satisfy you."

Wu Chang raised his eyebrows, looked at Olivia, and said:
"Your Majesty Olivia, will you really satisfy me no matter what I want?"

Olivia blushed slightly when Wu Chang stared at her. After a brief silence, she nodded slightly and said:
"A qualified king should reward outstanding subjects according to their merits. So, as long as it is your wish, I will fulfill it."

Wu Chang immediately knelt on one knee, covered his left chest with his right hand, and said with a fiery look:
"I would give my heart to your majesty."

Olivia saw that Wu Chang seemed to be serious and said at a loss:

"Although I will meet all your requests, I cannot make any requests that are too excessive public. I can only meet your requests in private."

Wu Chang blinked and pretended to be puzzled:

"Your Majesty Olivia, I just think that compared to Finance Minister Glad, Randy is more responsible and more suitable to be the Prime Minister, and I want to support his campaign. How can such a request be met privately?"

Olivia, who was blushing, and Julie, who was looking angry, were both stunned, and their brains temporarily short-circuited.

Olivia stuttered, "So Sir Sean is talking about this. I also think that Minister Randy is very responsible and will be a good prime minister."

"Unfortunately, as the Queen, I cannot control the House of Commons. If it really comes to the last step, I will support him."

Wu Chang stood up and said, "There is no time to lose. I will go and investigate this great stench and will not allow the evildoers hiding in the dark to destroy your majesty's great cause."

Julie said: "I still have to stay to protect Her Majesty the Queen, so I won't send you back."

Wu Chang tried hard to keep a straight face and turned to leave St. George's Cathedral.

It was not until he left the church and teleported back to the Secret Security Department that he could not help laughing.

It seems that even Her Majesty the Queen would start to have wild thoughts after being single for too long. If it were anyone else, it would not be easy to see Olivia blushing and at a loss.

Wu Chang was laughing when he ran into Raventon who was carrying a stack of newspapers.

Ravington asked, "What happened? You're so happy."

Wu Chang tensed his face again and shook his head, "Nothing, I just thought of something funny."

Raventon sighed, handed the newspaper in his hand to Wu Chang, and said:
"These are all the suspicious newspapers we screened out."

Wu Chang was surprised: "So fast?"

Ravington said, "Those foreign supernatural beings were fast. I told them where to get the Hills newspapers from the past five years, and they brought them back in just a few minutes."

"As for selecting suspicious newspapers, as you might imagine, Mr. Nestor pays special attention to Henry. With his help, it's easy to narrow down the scope."

Ravington pointed to the newspaper in his hand and said, "I even suspect that if he wants, he can filter out half of it."

"He suggested that we start with more invalid information. What are you going to do next?"

Wu Chang took the newspapers, spread them out on the table, and then took out the omniscient crystal.

"How? Of course, I rely on inspiration."

Raventon finally couldn't help it. He repeated what Wu Chang had said before and said:

"Just by looking at these newspapers, you can find clues by inspiration? What do you regard inspiration as?"

Wu Chang said as a matter of course: "Inspiration is of course based on sufficient clues and intelligence, and reasonable inferences."

Raventon was so angry that he laughed. He was too lazy to argue with Wu Chang and sat aside waiting for the answer.

The current information about Henry is not sufficient for humans, but it is enough for the Omniscient Crystal.

After a brief analysis, the all-knowing Crystal Zhen deciphered a set of secret codes from the recruitment information and second-hand goods transfer notices in the Hills newspaper.

He saw in the codewords the anomalies in the Pine Tree Coal Mine explosion and hints of problems in the South Shore Textile District.

These hints reminded Wu Chang of what Jian Xing had told him before, that the Steam Council knew exactly how to make the root power influence the rules of the plane.

If Wu Chang and Raventon had not intervened, the extraordinary steam engine that Wu Chang had discovered would have been exposed to the public at the right time and pushed by the Steam Parliament.

It now appears that one of the ways the Steam Parliament was exposed was through Henry and the Lantern.

If we say that the extraordinary steam engines that players may come into contact with unofficially are all planned by the Steam Council and have been laid out in advance, then the source of this great stench, the place where steam explosives are manufactured, may also appear in the codewords.

Following this line of thought, he soon found a clue.

Southeast of Grimland, midnight, the River of Colors.

found it.

Wu Chang asked Ravington, "Which explosives factory is located in the southeast of Grimland, near the river?"
