Chapter 386 The Whereabouts of the Treasure
"how so……"

After Roy hung up the phone, he put away the crystal and couldn't help but frown.

"There's no way around it. The things collected through secular channels are bound to be affected by the situation...

Even if there are extraordinary people behind the scenes, if you don't do everything yourself and put in the effort, it will be difficult to control the development of the situation!"

Planjie knew that Roy was concerned about this thing, so she comforted him with a few words and then thought of a solution.

"Otherwise, I'll go check it out."

"OK then!"

Roy nodded solemnly, but didn't hold out much hope.

……

A few days passed quickly, and the progress of the investigation was as expected.

The thread is broken.

“The situation was so chaotic…

It wasn't stolen or lost in some other way, but was smashed, burned, and looted by a group of people...

Whether it was destroyed as an ordinary object is unknown."

“It shouldn’t be destroyed.”

After listening to Planjie's report, Roy analyzed calmly.

"If that thing is truly a consecrated object like the Stigmata, even if it's destroyed, it will somehow be 'refreshed'!"

"'refresh'?"

The relevant words in the common language were a bit unfamiliar. Planjie frowned, feeling a little difficult to understand.

Roy said: "If its sanctification level is high enough..."

This was a very strange phenomenon. Coincidentally, he had gradually sorted out his thoughts in the past few days, so he tried it a little and explained it to Planjie.

“To put it simply, it can be understood as a projection of higher-dimensional life in lower dimensions.

If it is blocked by an object or the projection is interrupted, it will temporarily disappear...

But as long as the true body is indestructible, it will not be truly destroyed."

"This sounds a bit like the necromancy 'astral projection', or the projection spell of creatures like demons and angels?"

“Indeed, nightmares, succubi, and other high-level demons, as well as demons from the abyss and angels from Mount Heaven, are also born with this ability.

However, it is often necessary to reach a certain level before it can be actively used.

Because it is a 9th level spell, second only to the legendary level!"

This spell can release the soul from the body and project a physical copy including equipment into another world, thus allowing cross-dimensional travel.

Roy had learned before that due to the excessive strength of the souls and the enormous life energy of god-level creatures, it would be a disaster for them to enter the material world.

Therefore, after being promoted to level four, one must step out of the starry sea and find a place that can accommodate oneself.

such as……

Kingdom of God!

But after being away for too long, there will inevitably be a time when you need to return to the material world.

That also requires the use of "descent" or "projection" which is similar to this spell, but more magical.

To a certain extent, sanctification is equivalent to sending their soul into the astral realm for storage.

The location of the "true body" can be understood as a "micro-kingdom of God" or a "mini kingdom of God", just like food hidden in a space ring will not rot...

Sanctified objects will gradually begin to possess properties such as "immortality".

All these spells and characteristics are related to each other, and also involve the mystery of the mutual transformation between spirit and matter.

"However, that can only be achieved after reaching 100% complete form.

I can only reach the entry level of sanctification, which is 50%, making it half real and half virtual...

Even up to 95%, it still only protects against a portion of physical damage!"

"Isn't that the immortality and infinite rebirth of the Demon God? Why do we have to come up with such a difficult word as refresh?" The dark elf suddenly realized.

“Many gods, even if they have fallen, may be resurrected.

There are also beings like evil gods who cannot be destroyed, but can only be sealed...

The seal can actually be likened to blocking the projection, preventing it from appearing on the material plane."

"Yes, because the sea of stars is infinitely vast...

Failure to find a material plane as a place to stay is equivalent to being exiled indefinitely!
If you still hold onto something like a godhead, sooner or later someone new will come and find you and devour you completely!"

In fact, he is now playing the role of a latecomer.

If you can find it, and use that material.

Or it may be possible to use the Holy Stone to obtain alchemical talent, just like in the Orc world.

Add to that the research needs for consecrated items...

This kind of thing is of great value to him.

……

"Mary!"

At this time, in the Duke's mansion.

The Duke, with thick golden curly hair and deep blue eyes, had a sad face and his eyes were red from crying.

Everyone standing nearby was moved.

“Those untouchables are so lawless!
The army must be mobilized to quell the rebellion and all troublemakers must be captured and killed!"

After a while, the Duke raised his head and gave instructions through gritted teeth.

"That's right. From now on, if there are any signs of this happening, we will deal with them with unwavering determination!"

Muville and Fudi looked at each other and nodded slightly in tacit understanding.

Soon after, they left the scene and returned to their own location.

"The opportunity has arrived. The Duke's anger has overwhelmed his reasoning, completely ignoring the reasons why he had to resort to conciliatory measures before..."

"Yes, they used to be very unafraid to exploit and take as much as possible...

Things have eased a little over the years, and he actually thinks he is kind. It's really laughable!
However, this is also a good thing. If he loses his mind, we will have more power to use, more funds and opportunities, and we can use them for the great cause of summoning our Lord to come!"

"By the way, the death of the lady also made the Duke see the fragility of mortals...

What if I told him that the power of the gods could make people immortal?"

"That must be a crazy pursuit, no matter the cost!"

The two looked at each other and laughed in tacit understanding again.

They are considered "old partners", each of them lurking beside the Duke with ulterior motives, just to use the powerful people in this world to achieve their wishes.

But even though the Duke was greedy, he still retained some rationality.

Only when the threat from civilians is really approaching and makes him feel the fragility of mortal life, will he pursue it at all costs.

At the moment, the two have made many deployments and are exerting efforts on different fronts.

……

Some time passed again.

In the manor provided by the Duke, Oliver, a subordinate of Ferdie, suddenly heard a report from his subordinates.

"While interrogating the prisoner, I found a strange thing..."

"Oh?"

Oliver took it out of curiosity.

It was a strange stone that looked like amber, with a candle flame sealed in its center.

The mysterious energy inspired him, vaguely echoing the "supernatural seed" of the Lord of Black Mist that he had obtained in the past.

Suddenly, Oliver felt a burning sensation in his palm, and the amber seemed to melt. The candlelight was like an illusory object, penetrating directly into his flesh and blood!
