The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 573 After the War
Clearing out the remaining abyss is not an easy task. The abyss has eroded this world for more than five hundred years, and there are traces of the abyss in too many places.

These locations must be checked bit by bit until the last piece of abyss moss disappears.

And those remaining abyss demons are also troublesome.

After the nest was destroyed and the webway was sealed, Richard's miracle destroyed almost 70% of the organized army of the Abyss Demons. But because of the destruction of the organization, these demons all turned into bandit-like creatures.

The contaminated area of ​​the abyss is nearly half the size of the world, and eradicating the demons is destined to be a protracted battle.

Fortunately, Richard created Ben.

Although Ben is an illiterate world master, his life level is actually level 4. After becoming a heroic spirit, Ben is also a god-level heroic spirit.

With him around, Richard doesn't need to go out into the wilderness to fight demons like catching rabbits.

……

Boom!

The spears made of thunder exploded in the sky, turning into countless tiny thunder arrows. Under this rain of arrows, a group of abyss demons that were already at the end of their rope launched their final charge.

In front of them, a group of goblin soldiers lined up like line infantry, all holding gun-like weapons that were clearly made of flesh and blood.

"Get ready, let go!"

The goblin captain gave the order, and beside him, a row of goblins equipped with No. 7 flesh-and-blood colonization suits pulled the trigger in unison.

bang bang bang...

A wave of energy came from the barrel of the gun, and iron balls the size of a baby's fist instantly turned the charging demon into a bloody mist.

After the rain of thunder arrows, the goblins skillfully put on flamethrowers - they all carried a metal can on their backs, and the cans contained the concentrated fire element they called dragon's breath.

Fierce flames shot out from the trumpets in the goblins' hands, burning the demon's body to ashes in an instant. Then the goblins bowed to the sky, and a figure covered in holy light in the sky returned the greeting, and then turned into holy light and flew away.

"Recover the ammunition and prepare to return."

The goblin commander gave the order and immediately led the way to the ashes to recover the metal pellets they had shot out.

The long war has made the goblins develop a habit of frugality. Although these projectiles are somewhat deformed, they can still be good projectiles once they are remelted.

A strong wind blew, and the dark clouds in the sky were blown away. The soft sunlight shining on the battlefield made people feel warm.

"Ha, the sage is watching us. Praise the sun, praise the sage." The goblins praised the sun.

Now that a year has passed since the end of the final battle, the pollution in the Abyss has been greatly reduced. The dark clouds that once covered the sky and were mixed with a large number of Abyss spores have been mostly cleared, so sunlight, which was a rare thing in the past, can now appear frequently.

The reason why the goblins praise the sun is simple. They believe that Richard's kingdom of God is not the stars, but the sun.

In the final battle, Richard's Solar Vision made quite a stir, and many priests saw the shocking scene.

Richard didn't know whether to let it go or to strictly enforce it. But one thing was certain: Richard's holy light could now become as hot as the sun, and his ability to attract fire elements had also become stronger.

It seems that after being given the title of Sun God, Richard's abilities have also changed a little.

After recovering the projectiles, the purification team began the final purification. They aimed the flamethrowers at the Abyss plants on the ground, and then burned them at a balanced rate to ensure that there were no Abyss spores on the surface of every piece of land.

According to the plan, after they finish the cleaning, someone will come to carry out a secondary purification to ensure that the roots of every abyss-like plant are completely burned.

Otherwise, this land is likely to become deeper again.

After emptying the fire element from the jar, everyone set out on their return journey. A few dozen kilometers behind them, a new resource point had been built.

These resource points are replenished by airships and are responsible for providing sufficient resources for the purification teams in the wilderness.

Airships are a new thing that appeared after the war. It is said that they were created by a wise man. They do not even require boilers and steam to operate, and can transport objects weighing dozens of tons into the sky using only stones.

They were now on a plain, so walking was extremely easy.

The resource point is a building similar to a church. When the purification team arrived at the resource point, they just had dinner.

The rich aroma of meat made everyone in the purification team salivate.

"Haha, Fran, you guys came at the right time. The beef soup is fresh out of the pot."

A goblin with an anti-abyss mask hanging around his waist greeted the purification team in a familiar manner. Judging from his attire, he should also be a member of the purification team.

"Locke, I'm keeping track of the time." The commander of the purification team said with a smile.

After queuing up for food, every member of the resource point received a small bowl of ox head soup.

The goblin named Locke squatted on the steps outside the resource point, holding the beef soup and drinking it carefully. Beside him, Fran looked at the beef soup and suddenly took out a yellowed photo from his arms.

"Locke, I heard that before the Sage ascended to heaven, all the workers in the factory could drink this stuff."

Locke glanced at him, drank the last bit of soup in the rice jar, and took a piece of black bread to soak up the soup in the rice jar that he couldn't drink.

"Why are you saying this suddenly?"

Fran touched the photo, which showed him smiling with a female goblin and four goblin children.

"Nothing, since the wise man is back, we can live that kind of life too. If they are luckier, maybe they can have enough food to eat every day."

Locke was silent for a moment. He and Fran were old acquaintances. He knew that Fran's wife and children were all contaminated and turned into Abyss zombies in an Abyss attack. According to the Abyss disposal regulations, Fran didn't even see the ashes. Locke patted Fran's shoulder, and his tone was like that of a person who had experienced it.

"Fran, don't dwell on the past. The Abyss Disaster is over, and you have to look forward. Adopt an orphan. Of course, if you hate children, you can get a dog. Children are annoying. Give yourself something to rely on, because there is still a long way to go in your future."

Fran looked at his back. Like him, Locke's parents and wife all died in a suicide attack.

A year ago, Locke was like a devil, thinking about killing more demons all day long. But in the last battle, Locke did not die. His subordinates saved him but he died on the battlefield. Before he died, he entrusted his daughter to Locke.

Since then, the evil ghost Locke has disappeared.

Fran looked down at the photo and carefully placed it back in her arms.

"…Look forward, White, can I look forward?"

……

City of Miracles, Church of the Sages.

"…The first abyss cleanup has progressed 30 percent. If nothing unexpected happens, the abyss pollution will be controlled to a harmless range in five years. The details are here, please take a look."

In the gorgeous study, Franken looked at the documents in his hands and listened quietly to the reports from his subordinates.

"okay, I get it."

After Ben was eroded by the Abyss, Franken and Tyr became the actual rulers of the church. And because the demand for machinery was greater, Tyr was once the uncrowned pope.

But as Tell's research went awry and his student Ansem was not interested in fighting for power, Franken became the acting pope of the Order of Miracles.

Now that Ben had been converted into a saint by Richard, Franken's title of acting pope naturally had the word "acting" removed from it, and he became the second Pope of the Order of Miracles.

dong dong dong.

"Enter."

"My Lord Pope, why haven't you approved the industrial relocation yet?"

Franken looked up at the person who came, and saw Tyr, who was wearing a red robe, looking at him angrily.

"Tyr, you have to be polite when you see the Pope. Do I need to teach you this?"

Franken ignored Thiel's shouting and calmly corrected Thiel's etiquette problem.

Hearing this, Tyer instantly became furious.

"You fleshworm! If I hadn't been contaminated by the abyss, this position..."

"salute."

"I……"

"Do you want to question my Lord's decision?"

“…Yes, Your Holiness.”

Looking at Thiel holding his breath and bowing to him, Franken felt that his hard work over the past year had finally paid off.

"Okay, go back. Your plan for industrial relocation is not feasible. It's too large. You really dare to build 32 factory cities at once. Now it's post-war, some military factories can be closed, and the priority now is to develop livelihood industries."

"Thirty-two is considered large? The old Mechanical Royal Court had thirty-two..."

"Go out. If you are dissatisfied, you can go to the secret realm to find our Lord. This is the general direction he has set. He wants to prioritize improving the living standards so that the population can grow as quickly as possible."

"you……"

Thiel pointed at Franken and couldn't say a word. He could only leave the office angrily.

After sending Tell away, Franken finished reading the remaining two documents and went to the balcony of the study. From the balcony, Franken could overlook the entire Miracle City.

It is dusk now, and under the setting sun, many goblin workers are dismantling the anti-aircraft turrets left over from the Abyss War.

As the core city of the goblins, the City of Miracles naturally has the highest defensive strength among many cities.

There are countless artillery batteries hidden in the shadows of those magnificent buildings, so much so that even after a year of demolition, they have not been completely demolished.

"It feels good that the war is over."

Franken sighed from the bottom of his heart as he looked at the children playing on the street.

Although he knew that all this was temporary.

Back at the desk, a plan from Technical Bishop Anson appeared in front of Franken.

According to the plan, the goblins will build a huge structure with a diameter of nearly ten kilometers in the next fifty years. The purpose of building this huge structure is described in a very religious way.
"Spread the glory of our Lord."

With a sigh, Franken signed his name at the end of the plan.

A breeze blew and blew the documents off the table. Franken picked them up, sorted them out and placed them on the pile of documents that had already been processed.

The first page of the document reads the name of the project - Floating City.
