A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 198 Parasitizing non-humans for too long affects the brain
Xu Lie's main body left Nibelungen and arrived at the Source Castle he was loyal to.

Bao Lie sat idly at the head of the table. It was not surprising that he saw the main body arrive. Yuan Bao was on the main body. As soon as the main body was released from prison, Bao Lie knew that the main body was going to come up.

Because soon, it will be time for the weekly gathering again, and after such a long time, the main body certainly won't miss it.

Borglie slumped onto the bronze table as if relieved: "You're finally out! Hurry up and divine Odin's whereabouts."

“At the last gathering, Chu Zihang kept glancing over here, so it’s not appropriate to delay any longer.”

“Odin is of a higher rank than me. Even with the help of the Source Castle, my clone cannot divine the truth.”

Bao Lie could communicate with Xu Lie's main body at any time, so after agreeing to Chu Zihang's request, Bao Lie informed his main body about the matter.

"Do we need to use divination for this?" After Xu Lie stopped parasitizing Fenrir, his condition quickly improved, and he was no longer unhappy with Bao Lie sitting at the head of the table.

I casually walked to the side of Yuanbao and looked at the mess of small commodities on the ground.

At this moment, Yuanbao resembles a street stall, with various small commodities displayed, each one quieter than the last.

"Why not use divination?" Seeing that the main body was interested in these things, Bao Lie added, "Those are all extraordinary items."

"Now the members collect extraordinary traits every week. I casually used alchemy to make some small, high-quality, and durable items, then fused the extraordinary traits into them to create these little gadgets."

“Previously, I would place these extraordinary items in the source material of the corresponding path. For example, I sent this extraordinary item formed by the witch’s characteristics to the City of Calamity.”

"A suitable environment can accelerate the formation of extraordinary items. Once they're almost ready, I'll gather them at the Source Castle and test the effects of each gadget one by one. They're doing alright."

As Xu Lie looked around, he asked, "How is the training of the craftsmen going?"

When Xu Lie and Bao Lie decided to release potions into chaotic and war-torn regions to create wild extraordinary beings as monsters, Xu Lie and Bao Lie discussed starting to train the Old Church's own craftsmen.

Forrell also remembered this: "It's all settled. Old Tang is very quick. Because of the pre-casting, the first three sequence potions melted instantly in his mouth, and he has already been promoted to craftsman."

“We have taught our own artisans and have begun training them, mainly in the local area and the Tokyo parish.”

Xu Lie nodded in understanding, then glanced one last time at the extraordinary items on the ground: "These extraordinary items are somewhat 'safe'."

Bao Lie rolled his eyes in annoyance: "What do you think? It's only been a short time. Most of them are Sequence 9 and Sequence 8 monsters. Their recycling properties are so-so. How can you expect to make anything high-level?"

"The strongest one right now is the extraordinary item of a Sequence 7 witch that I just mentioned. If you ask me, that guy who found the Assassin's Potion in the Chaotic Region is also impressive. He advanced to the level of a witch in a short time. It's a pity that he has a low mind and is addicted to killing."

"Look, it's already been retrieved by the members."

Xu Lie glanced at it and didn't take it to heart: "With so much investment, there will always be talented people with both exceptional talent and a good mindset. We can recruit them into the church then."

"The world is so big, there is always a need for more missionary talent to expand the church's influence."

"As for Odin, there's really no need for divination. Isn't his lair in Nibelungen-Avalon in the Greenland ice sea?"

This is a clue given in the original work, so why would you need to use your spirituality to divine it?

Speechless, Bao Lie raised his hand and patted his head: "No, you should really get back into character."

"Long-term parasitism of Fenrir lowers IQ, who said Odin always stays in his lair? Odin isn't like Fenrir who can't move."

"Don't assume that all the dragon kings are in jail just because you and Fenrir are in jail."

Xu Lie blinked, wondering how he could have overlooked such an obvious detail.

Was he too arrogant to take Odin seriously? Or was it really as Borgley said, that he had been influenced by Fenrir?

Both are possible. Don't underestimate Fenrir just because he's silly. Subconsciously, he still retains the arrogance of a dragon king, that's for sure. But Fenrir is truly silly, and he will subtly influence Xu Lie as well.

Long-term parasitism on non-human organisms has indeed greatly affected one's own condition.

For the next period of time, I need to examine myself three times a day.

"Let me try to do a divination first." Before making preparations, Xu Lie shared Fenrir's situation with Bao Lie: "Don't say that Fenrir can't be moved. I've already released him."

"It's just that the suppression of his rank prevented Fenrir from completely breaking free of the rock layer and restoring his dragon form." Forrell wasn't surprised; the suppression of rank was quite normal.

In fact, the amount of dragon blood required for each promotion already subtly reveals the true status of the dragon kings in this world.

For example, Xu Lie's main body has now digested the Parasite Potion, and he only needs to perform a ritual to advance to Sequence 3 and deceive his mentor.

As for the main material for Sequence 3 that was used to deceive the mentor, Xu Lie had already obtained it from the Zhou family in Xiangyang through one of his clones—a Mirage Dragon Pearl of the next generation level.

Based on this specification, when advancing to Sequence 2 in the future, materials of the Dragon King level will definitely be required.

According to the system, a Dragon King without mutual devouring and an incomplete rank is roughly at the Sequence 2 Angel level.

Of course, Bao Lie was well aware that the combat power displayed by the Dragon Kings was different from that of the Angel-level combat power of the Mysterious System.

But this does not diminish the high rank of the Dragon Kings, whose rank is never equivalent to their actual combat power.

In the world of Dragon Raja, Nidhogg the Black King is revered as a god. If we consider this, Nidhogg's rank can be regarded as the Sequence 0 True God level in the Dragon Raja world.

The White King, a dragon king who devours each other to complete himself, is estimated to have a Sequence 1. An incomplete dragon king would naturally have a Sequence 2 position.

Therefore, it's normal that the deception ability pre-drawn during the Sequence 4 parasite period couldn't completely save Fenrir.

Once the main body advances in the future, it will be easy to reverse Fenrir's dragon body.

While Bao Lie was pondering these random thoughts, Xu Lie also ended his dream divination and opened his eyes again.

"How about it?"

“That’s how it is.” Xu Lie casually sat down in the wrong seat on the left: “Through Chu Zihang’s connection with us, and through the damage he suffered from the puppet controlled by Odin, we divined about Avalon beneath the Greenland ice sea.”

"That is, the location of Odin's lair."

"As for Odin's current location, it's not easy to predict directly. Odin's ability to create equipment like Gungnir through alchemy might involve some of the power of destiny."

"If we rashly try to divine the past, it will be easy to be discovered. Anyway, based on our understanding of the original text, we all know that Pompeii is Odin, so there is no need to alert him."

Bao Lie nodded knowingly, then checked the time: "The gathering is about to begin. I've already contacted my clone. Are you attending?"

"Should we start preparing for the promotion ceremony now?"

Xu Lie looked around. The gray mist swirled and entwined intimately around him, swirling and rolling at his fingertips, which made Xu Lie smile knowingly: "I'll stay and take a look."

"I may still be in the aftereffects of my long-term parasitic relationship with Fenrir. I'll wait until I'm fully recovered before I get promoted."

“Okay.” Bao Lie responded and, through Yuanbao, informed the clone that during this holiday, after notifying them, they should proceed with the recruitment of people step by step.

As crimson hues spread and receded, the members once again appeared above the gray fog.

Xu Lie watched quietly as Bao Lie's performance became increasingly convincing, maintaining his mystery and majesty as he issued a new round of missions to recover extraordinary characteristics.

Afterwards, free communication was not allowed immediately. Only after all members had finished reading this round of tasks did he lightly tap the table to attract their attention: "Mr. Red Priest."

"After this period of divination, I have received Odin's message."

Xu Lie could clearly observe that Chu Zihang next to him suddenly trembled, just like an ordinary person who dreams of falling off a cliff and wakes up with a shiver.

The others were equally astonished, each more shocked than the last.

As Mr. Fool previously told everyone, Odin's true identity is one of the four kings, the king of the sky and the wind!
The mighty Dragon King was divined by Mr. Fool from afar?

As expected of Mr. Fool, he is both mysterious and powerful!
Members like Chen Motong have already stood tall, sharing the pride of honor and disgrace.

Susie, however, didn't care about any of that and focused on Chu Zihang across from her.

Chu Zihang stood up excitedly and bowed respectfully to Bao Lie: "Respected Fool, please, please tell me, where is Odin?"
