"What's the important matter?" asked the little girl.
"Her family is still waiting for burial."
After Li Ang finished speaking, Ella Fia fell silent. She didn't know what to say, so she could only say "hopefully as soon as possible."
Who knows what kind of bloody demon will pop up, but the shipbuilding must be delayed, and Teacher Alulu's funeral cannot be delayed, otherwise it will be too ugly in every sense.
It has been decided to set off for the Theocracy of Watam, but there is still something to do on this island.
For example--
"Have you ever been to see King Platinum's treasure house?" Leon asked.
"Ah, that's exactly what I was going to tell you." said Farina.
144. Rue Clan Puzzle
After Li Ang fell into a coma, the most important and troublesome thing was actually the follow-up work.
Whether it was the Platinum King publicly killing all the other leaders of the Flashing Fields and conspiring with the Dragon Cult to sacrifice all those who came to support the Silver Arena and the Platinum Race, as well as the subsequent attack of the Crimson Demon, the Flame Dragon and Dragon God Statue summoned by Farina, and the final appearance of Bahamut - they were all major events that were enough to shock the entire sky.
Even in the Holy City, where only the truth about ancient civilizations, super-veiled monsters, demonic disasters, and guild decisions that affect the world are worthy of being topics of conversation after dinner, these things are enough to make the front page of the newspaper.
Since Leon lost consciousness, only Mott and Farina had experience in handling matters of this level, so at the beginning they were the ones who worked with the guild clerk to run around.
This major event involved a lot of people. In addition to those who acted decisively and escaped from the island immediately after the siege of the sacrificial array was lifted, there were also people who wanted an explanation afterwards and people who wanted to do something wrong during the chaos.
Because the two of them were participants in the battle, almost all the audience in the arena saw the dragon summoned by the Dragon Priestess, and many people even believed that the final Bahamut was also her work, so Farina's words were very convincing.
As soon as she appeared, most people quieted down and listened to her carefully.
In the eyes of others, the entire battle was even resolved by Farina, and very few people really saw the critical importance of Leon's auxiliary spells.
As for Zoe and the mysterious Ivinis, they were beyond the comprehension of normal people, and no one thought that they had summoned the dragon.
On the surface, this incident was characterized as "cultists collaborating with local rulers to murder civilians and unintentionally triggering a demonic disaster."
However, the guild was well aware that there were many witnesses to such a major event, and the "Crimson Demon" was familiar to many people since childhood stories. Given its alien demonic appearance, it was inevitable that some people would speculate in this direction.
Moreover, people who don't mind making trouble will exaggerate such speculations. In addition, those who leave the island cannot be stopped, so the matter cannot be covered up.
How to deal with this specifically will also be discussed by the Cavaliers' decision-making meeting.
The rather chaotic scene was stabilized only after the arrival of Alafia, the leader of the Order Flame Group, and Satnason, the leader of the Order Sandstorm Group.
After settling Leon down, the girls of the Star Flower Brigade, under the commission of the guild clerk, began to work to maintain order in the city and prevent the disordered city from falling into riots.
"We originally thought we were going to have a fight with the Shashi Group," said Alulu.
Dorothy rubbed her temples, as if unwilling to recall how exhausted she was at the time. "The main trouble wasn't with the townspeople. Although the Sand People were unruly, most ordinary people just wanted to protect themselves. Only a few committed petty theft."
"The Sand Beast Gang is also protecting the neighbors." said Andasu.
The real troublemakers were the subordinates of the various leaders. These leaders were former slave owners, and their subordinates were not upright gentlemen. Once the boss was gone, all they wanted to do was run away with the money. Before escaping, some wanted to rob, and some wanted to kill to avenge their personal grudges. After the girls and adventurers hired by other guilds took action, these people were also eliminated.
"Thank you for your hard work." Li Ang sighed.
He got a headache just thinking about that chaotic scene.
Before traveling through time, he generally didn't like to get involved in crowded scenes. If he encountered too many NPCs gathered in the game, he might even do a "de-urbanization" process.
"Yes, you must make it up to me," said Dorothy hastily.
"We're all busy together, why do you only mention yourself?" Zoe immediately discovered the problem.
"What does this have to do with King Platinum's treasure house?" Leon interrupted them before they started bickering.
"I have to tell you this so you can understand what happened there."
Dorothy said, "Didn't you notice we didn't mention the Sand Corps or King Platinum's men?"
"Let me guess," Li Ang said, "the Sand Corps went to capture the Platinum Palace, and then what did the Sand Corps encounter?"
"That's a good guess! If I hadn't slept almost all the time next to you, I should have thought you were pretending to be unconscious," said Dorothy.
"Wait, what have you been doing?" Leon asked.
"She lied to us and said she could heal, and then she refused to leave," Zoe said dissatisfiedly.
"Fortunately, I was able to get close to my master while she was in the toilet." There was a sense of accomplishment on Andasu's face.
"You're a problem too!" Zoe yelled.
"Okay, it's actually not that difficult to guess." Li Ang said.
"Blood Eagle said before that he took on the job of guarding a treasure promised to him by King Platinum. However, King Platinum forced him to participate in the fighting competition. He didn't win the championship, and the treasure wasn't even among the prizes. At that time, he looked like he was going to steal it.
"Since we didn't encounter the Sand Relics Group, it can only mean that something unexpected happened to them."
After Leon finished speaking, he asked, "How is King Platinum's treasure house?"
Zoe said, "We thought of what you said. After no one was disturbing the city, Sister Farina took us to the palace, and then we saw..."
The girl didn't continue her words. She frowned, as if she didn't want to recall the scene.
"It's very bloody." Farina sighed. "Judging from the remaining magic power there, it seems that the devil killed them all."
"demon?"
Leon couldn't think of this, after all, the devil's behavior and motives are now a mystery.
“When we found the Blood Eagle, he was barely alive,” said Dorothy.
Andasu said: "That guy is really lucky."
Farina took a package from the side and said, "His talent is controlling blood. The demon's attack was too powerful, and it severely injured him in one blow. The wound is relatively neat. Although too many parts of his body were cut off, he barely survived by controlling his blood."
Alulu said, "He's very grateful that we saved him. After learning about the demon, he thanked us and is still waiting for his brother to wake up. He wants to talk to you."
Talk to me? Leon nodded, not caring about what Blood Eagle wanted to do for the time being.
The Dragon Witch opened the cloth and said, "I guess the demon's lack of intention to finish off the enemy is the reason Blood Eagle survived. After the demon destroyed this thing, it came to the arena to find you."
What she pulled out was a pile of broken parts.
This pile of parts has both mechanical structures and statue decorations. After the structure was damaged, the spirituality was lost.
Elafia said in mid-air, "Because it is made of a shining metal that conducts magic very well, my ability can repair it. However, the spiritual connection between them has been destroyed. Restoring its form will not restore it to its original state."
Leon picked up some of the statue fragments. The main body of the statue was a giant beast with the appearance of a giant wolf, and next to it were the beast-eared tribe guarding it.
Andasu lowered her eyes and said in a very depressed tone: "I'm afraid this is the auxiliary tool needed for the inheritance of the clan."
Li Ang nodded, he was almost 100% sure.
From the inheritance of the Perfumer and the Evil Assassin that I had read before, there was a lack of tools to assist the Yunxiang people in controlling their blood for cultivation, and the residual spirituality in these fragments that Leon felt proved this.
“Sure enough, after your clan was bound by the Platinum King’s family, this item was also collected into his treasury.
"Coincidentally, because this item can control blood, King Platinum heard about Blood Eagle's situation and used it to lure Blood Eagle into sacrificing him, a powerful figure from the Sabrum airspace, to the Dragon Worship Cult.
“The demon’s spirit separated from the Yunxiang people and gathered together, taking on flesh for itself. The first thing it did was to destroy this prop.
"It probably feels that since someone is trying to save the Yunxiang tribe, they must not be allowed to regain power."
After Li Ang finished his speculation, the girls all had no objection.
"The opportunity for our clan's revival was right before our eyes, yet..."
Andasu's words turned into sobs at the end.
"Aifei, can you fix it first?" Leon asked the blond kid beside him.
"Simple."
The eldest lady of the Blade Master raised her chin, opened her small hands, and manipulated the magic power.
"What kind of pet name is that? It's too intimate. Damn it." Dorothy muttered in a low voice.
When Zoe heard her words, she also frowned and stared at the blonde girl.
The broken parts floated in her magic, and the shining metal seemed to come alive, bending freely, melting, and then piecing together again.
After a few breaths, the device returned to normal.
On top of it is a statue of the Ruten people saluting the giant wolf, and below it is a mechanical device with many small balls moving around the center. The only large ball in the center is empty.
It looks like there was once some magical substance in this ball.
"I might be able to fix it completely," said Li Ang.
The equipment manufacturing technology that the system gave him was a complete set of ideas, rather than a fixed mechanical operating process, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a craftsman of extraordinary level.
Combining his own spiritual manipulation ability and the 9th-level magic control, after reading the Yunxiang clan's inheritance and sensing the previous spiritual operation mode in the device, he can try to reconstruct it.
Li Ang said to Andasu, "It may take some time. After all, this is related to your cultivation. You can't be negligent, but you can't be impatient either. It would be bad if you destroy the remaining spiritual energy inside."
Hearing this, Bai Lang's depressed mood recovered a lot. She wiped her eyes and was about to pounce on Li Ang, but was held back by three girls beside her.
The outcome of this incident was not bad. Leon asked again: "After the demons came out of the Yunxiang people, what happened to them?"
"They all said that they suddenly lost consciousness. It was probably because their bodies couldn't handle the alien spirit leaving them."
"Did the devil harm them?"
What Leon actually wanted to ask was why the demon didn't kill all the Yunxiang people, and only described it as harm out of consideration for Andasu's feelings.
White Wolf was calm: "I went back expecting the worst, but what I got was good news."
"Why doesn't the devil take action?" Zoe asked.
After she finished speaking, she met Andasu's gaze and felt something was wrong. She quickly said, "I don't mean anything else. I just find it strange."
Indeed, intuitively speaking, the devil left behind a curse that is passed down through blood just to suppress the Yunxiang people. Wouldn't it be simpler to just kill them all?
Li Ang frowned, realizing something seemed to be wrong.
When the Crimson Demon appeared, it said it was "tracing back to the pried-open spiritual anchor." That thing didn't lock onto a specific target, but it must have sensed traces of key spiritual operations.
The mark was on Andasu, so it came to the arena.
After Leon used the slow-down spell, he attracted the attention of the demon. The demon judged that Leon "gathered the girls" and decided to deal with him as a "variable" first.
This is a huge amount of information, and we have to slowly unravel it.
For the Rue tribe, the demon's behavior is indeed strange, but also reasonable.
Since it left behind a spiritual curse that was passed down through the bloodline, if demons do not have a lifespan, or if their lifespan is extremely long, then at least it had come into contact with the ancestors of the Ruten tribe in ancient times.
If the Yunxiang people were no longer needed, they could have been exterminated in ancient times. Why would they be kept alive?
One could only guess that perhaps the devil wanted them to fall into the dust and mud, satisfying its evil taste. After all, before Bahamut appeared, that guy was always at ease, with a playful mentality.
A more serious speculation is that it has its reasons for not being able to eliminate the Yunxiang people, or what it pursues cannot be achieved by killing all the Yunxiang people, but it can be achieved by suppressing them so that they cannot rise up.
Li Ang expressed these thoughts, and the girl in the room had no other idea, so she just agreed with it.
But Farina suddenly said something that cheered Andasu up.
"Actually, I saw this giant wolf statue when I was investigating the Dragon Cult."
"Where?" White Wolf asked hurriedly.
Leon was also very curious, and the other girls pricked up their ears. Even Ella Fia raised her eyebrows, showing an interest in listening.
"Whispering Sand Sea." The Dragon Witch uttered a noun.
"Where is it?" Li Ang pondered.
"It makes sense and isn't too surprising," said Alafia.
"What happened there?"
The four novice adventurers of the Star Flower Brigade have no idea about this place.
Li Ang explained that the Whispering Sand Sea is the largest island in the Sabrum airspace.
The Glittering Fields and the Theocracy of Wattam are already considered large islands, but the explored parts of the Whispering Sand Sea are more than ten times larger than them, making it the largest island in the Sabrum airspace, or it would be more appropriate to call it an "island continent."
This kind of information is generally mentioned in geography courses, but Whispering Sand Sea is an exception.
By the way, the word geography comes from ancient language. Some scholars argue that it should be called something else, such as "island records" or "sky laws".
What is the end of the sky? This is a question that Newbis children often ask as they begin to understand the world.
Many parents’ answer is “The end of the sky is also an airspace wind wall”, and many teachers will also answer this way to save trouble.
This answer is both correct and not entirely correct.
