Chapter 1987: 572 Wish Spell and Tributaries of the River Styx
…
Facing this sudden scene, even though the female priestess hadn’t initiated an attack, Lulu already shrieked and hid in the corner of the room.
Only Matthew stayed in place, motionless.
“Please!”
“Please, just let take a bite, just one bite…”
“I really want it…”
The features of the female priestess were highly distorted, her facial expression beca grotesque.
Her neck twisted like a soft tube that water had flowed through, with snot, tears, and blood oozing from her face, giving a horrifying impression.
The priestess’s head leaned closer, her jaws making a grating noise.
Matthew sighed gently.
He reached out a hand toward the top of her head:
“Relax.”
“Let help you…”
Matthew’s tone was very gentle.
In the narrow and cramped space, the Eternal Domain unfolded first, followed by nature and the undying.
The three domains overlapped.
Instantly, they subdued the trembling mad factors in the air.
The grotesque phenona on the priestess’s face vanished in an instant.
Her wrinkle-covered skin smoothed out, becoming fair and translucent.
Her gaze also returned to clarity and calmness.
“Thank you…”
She lowered her head, her eyes slightly red.
“You’re welco.”
“It’s what I should do.”
Matthew still kept a gentle tone:
“Relax, don’t resist, I’m here to help you remove the effects of the Mad Second Hand-Turing from you…”
Previously.
Matthew wasn’t confident he could remove the mad branding on the priestess.
The high power of the Eternal Domain gave him such confidence.
However, the priestess shook her head lightly.
She said with eyes full of apology:
“Thank you for your kindness, but it’s too late.”
“Internally, I’ve long been decayed, those mad powers have seeped into my bones and flesh, even if you strip them away, I can’t escape their influence in this lifeti.”
Matthew persisted:
“Why not give it a try.”
The priestess had her own insistence:
“Thank you, but there’s no need.”
“Bearing this madness is the price I must pay.”
“You might not know, every night I listen to the insane ramblings of the Mad Second Hand-Turing—not from the god supporting it, the God of Luck, but from the ‘Turing’ devoured by it.”
“But all of this is by my own choice.”
“It’s the price for the Mad Second Hand-Turing to protect the Fairy Flower Garden, or else during the ti the Ice Queen disappeared, our garden would have fallen under the cursed land of Storluk Industries…”
“That’s exactly what they did in the eastern part of the Arcane Wilds.”
“The disappearance of the Ice Queen is also related to them…”
Matthew’s gaze beca serious.
From the priestess’s soft-spoken narrative.
He understood the transaction between the priestess and the Mad Second Hand-Turing, learned about Storluk Industries’ colonial situation in the Arcane Wilderness.
Turns out.
Besides the Storluk planet, those space undead also successfully established a second colony in the Arcane Wilds!
Only, these actions were done more discreetly.
After the Blood Moon Strike, Storluk Industries reached a peace agreent with the existing forces in the Arcane Wilds, so it wasn’t much noticed.
But before this.
The space undead’s invasion actions in the Arcane Wilds and the adjoining Fairy Flower Garden were quite fervent.
After the disappearance of the Ice Queen.
Without the tily aid of the Mad Second Hand-Turing, the Fairy Flower Garden was dood to fall, and at that ti, it would beco another stepping stone for Storluk’s advancent into the material world.
Unfortunately, whether it was the Twilight Creatures or the old god of the Heavenly Family Palace.
Their lifeline aid ca at a cost.
The priestess was forced to beco a follower of the Mad Second Hand-Turing, also allowing the temples of the Second Hand to preach among the little fairies—
Matthew previously encountered the fairy Little Stream as a vivid example.
And from the priestess’s description, Matthew further understood.
The god, God of Luck, to transfer Turing’s influence and resistance, moved quite a portion of the mad factors onto his followers.
Developing followers was purely a way for the god to relieve pressure!
But this wasn’t the best strategy to counter the Twilight Creatures.
According to what Matthew knew.
The more madness that spreads, the more it would lead to the recovery of Turing’s power, which would undoubtedly increase the burden on the God of Luck!
Relying on followers for relief was just a temporary asure that treated the symptoms, not the cause.
The God of Luck could gain the upper hand now.
Probably due to encounters in a vanished historical world!
“After you enter the Arcane Wilds, rember to use the positions of the stars to determine direction, then head west, and don’t go east!”
“To the east of the wilderness is now Storluk’s territory, the tallic cubicles have built large factory complexes and countless towering chimneys there.”
“The Mad Second Hand told the Ice Queen was captured by them and brought to a Four Seasons Like Spring valley, buried underground, where Storluk Industries has a secret laboratory.”
“They want to turn the Ice Queen into one of their kind of monsters!”
“They want to turn all the fairies into tallic cubicles too!”
“So, be, be very careful!”
The priestess repeatedly exhorted.
Matthew nodded heavily.
The priestess seed relieved a bit, and her tone turned gentle:
“If you successfully advance to beco legendary, if there’s a chance… I’m saying if, I hope you can, while ensuring your own safety, investigate the whereabouts of the Ice Queen.”
“Even if her condition isn’t good, even if you can only find remains or wreckage, please try to bring her back to the fortress.”
