The junk I found lying in the warehouse left slightly annoyed. Clearly incensed by the inability to open up sothing good, I glared at the Black Blood Queen Ant who imdiately shrunk in on herself upon seeing my blackened face, mouth kept perfectfully shut by her fear.
As for the next warehouse we found, it was better than the first, though not by much. Within, we found a pile of what looked like golem outer shells. Given that, all we needed to do was create a core and put the two together according to the schematics to create a functional golem, probably.
The activation thod is still a problem though
The third warehouse we stumbled upon practically made my eyes glitter. There were actually several hundred gigantic stone coffins within. Of those coffins, only a hundred or so ended up yielding sothing.
Opening up one of the coffins, we found a golden set of giant bones, preserved so well one could have sworn that the giant had just died yesterday.
Of those 100 or so coffins, 5 skeletons were noticeably larger than the rest and even had a pair wing-like bones growing out of their backs. If I had to hazard a guess, these were probably the skeletons used to craft those high level golems.
Next, I had the Black Blood Queen Ant search for other warehouses, which she succeeding in doing, but the contents of those warehouses werent really all that useful to us. They were all storages for weapons and war-related implents. However, the problem was that we had no soldiersso they might as well have been display pieces.
With nothing left to find, we decided to return to the warehouse with all the completed golems.
Sweetie, have you found the activation thod for the Abyssal Golems? Throughout our scavenger hunt for warehouses, Mo Na had been busy scouring that black leather book while riding on my shoulders. Her eyes were glued to the book, completely oblivious to her surroundings and would have stayed so had I not called out to her.
Hmm? She paused for a second before finally coming to her senses. Realizing that it was who called out to her, she promptly shook her head and said: Mo Na still hasnt found the thod to activating those big lugs.
Not yet, huh
Ahhthats a whole freaking treasure trove right there! Over a thousand Abyssal Golems just quietly waiting in front of and yet I cant use thedang it!
I took out the Gem of Authority and waved it around the golems eyes, hoping that this little test would activate it. Unfortunately, it didnt work.
Blast it, exactly what do you want to do in order to wake you up
Hoh, looks like Little Brother has t with so trouble, huh. Just as I was busy cursing everything in the world, a gloating voice popped out within my head.
[Fertinier, you see this as well, dont you? All these golems are just standing there in front of but I cant use themAlmighty Lucifer gave a mission to conquer Sable Radiance and then invade the Western Human Realms, but without these golems, I cant even complete the first steplet alone the second]
Truth be told, I didnt want to invade the Western Human Realms, but if circumstances forced toperhaps I just might. However, regardless of what my decision would be, there was one thing I had to do now: get stronger. I needed to get stronger so that I wouldnt have to fear anyoneanyone not including divinities of course
Hahaha, this one just knew that fellow wouldnt make things easy for you. She imdiately followed up with another annoying laugh. The next thing she said however, completely caught my attention: You might not know the thod, but this one does.
Even though I couldnt see her face right now, I could clearly tell that she was winking at , the extrely sly kind no less.
[You know?! Tell , quick.]
Truly, this was a fortuitous surprise for , for her to actually know of the thod when all else seed to have failed . But was it really that surprising for her to know of it? Not really, she was, after all, a Devil King; her knowledge couldnt be limited.
Is that the attitude you should show when making a request? Isnt it a tad too casual, why should this one tell you the answer?
II swearyouve been squatting in my body for at least two years now. Not only do you not pay any rent, you dont even help out when I need you to, , your landlord! Youre clearly dead set on being a jerk then, arent you?! Why should I even keep you here then?!
Just as I was about to explode from anger, Fertinier teasingly said as such: Hohohoho, Little Brother, I think youve forgotten sothing here, this one can hear your thoughts.
I
Other than bargaining with her, I really couldnt think of any other viable option right now. In fact, I was a little worried that I just do sothing rash like threaten to cut her up with Shadowfangahemin other words, cut myself
[Speak then, what are your conditions?]
Its really simple, Little Brother just has to promise this one a little favor.
[What favor?] I imdiately asked.
This one isnt sure yet, when she thinks of one, she will tell you.
Dang potatoes, why does this feel like so kind of Wuxia drama right now? Dont tell shes fallen for ? I seem to rember Zha* Min saying sothing like that in Heavenly Sw*rd and Drag*nco to think of it, for her to fall in love with thats clearly not possible! Shes practically ancestor-level right now! As they say, three generations is a ditch. Well, this 80 000 years old ditch separating us is practically a Mariana Trench right now.
and her? Ahahaha, like that would ever happen.
[Lets be clear here, if its impossible for or it goes against my principles, I wont do it.]
Its alright, this ones conditions are definitely doable for Little Brother.
Like a fox that had successfully stolen the grapes, she grinned from ear to figurative ear. Even though I still couldnt see her face, I could tell from that annoying tone of hers that she was up to no good.
Honestly, I wasnt sure if this was even a good idea. After all, this incorporeal Devil King had a terrible personality; I might just get scamd when I least expected it.
Butdid I really have a choice there? Without her, I had no way of activating the golems. Without those golems, how was I to conquer Sable Radiance?
[Speak then, whats the thod?]
Simple, Little Brother just has to use the gem as a dium and activate the Soul Array carved onto the floor of this warehouse.
[How do you know theres a hidden array on the floor?]
Because the book says so.
