1096: Infiltrate the enemy

After Maurice 'committed suicide', the remaining high-ranking officials naturally had even less ability to resist the San Ziye.

In just a short incense stick's time, all of these high-ranking officials in Busen City were captured.

Correspondingly, the three thousand Knight Legion on the other side were also disarmed and, under the leadership of the Man Bull Legion, were all imprisoned in a specially allocated area in Li Village.

It was also fortunate that Li Village had expanded so much land, otherwise, there wouldn't even be a place to imprison war criminals.

During this process, the scene of Maurice's self-detonation was still circulating in the minds of a considerable number of people.

That kind of situation was simply too bizarre and terrifying.

Li Changkong is now discussing the matter of Maurice's self-detonation with the San Ziye.

"Just now, Maurice drank the potion contained in this, and then that kind of change occurred?" In Li Changkong's hand was an empty potion bottle.

This was preserved by Rhein Viscount when the battlefield was being cleaned up.

"That's right, I saw him drink the potion inside with my own eyes, and then the scene we all witnessed just now happened," Raine nodded seriously.

His expression carried a hint of solemnity.

It was also fortunate that Maurice self-detonated, otherwise, if he had fighting ability in that state, the entire battlefield situation would inevitably be completely reversed!

Just as Maurice said at the time, his power level had already surpassed that of their Viscounts by one level, stepping into another completely new level!

"As far as I know, there has indeed never been such a strange potion in the world," Green Na said from the side, his brows slightly furrowed.

"It should be a semi-finished product, otherwise Maurice wouldn't have had that problem," Raine guessed.

Li Changkong's expression remained unchanged as he examined the vessel in his hand: "Maurice said before he died that Su Liang didn't lie to him, so it can be confirmed that this thing was made by Su Liang."

"In other words, Su Liang tricked Maurice?"

"That trick was really ruthless," Raine clicked his tongue inwardly, having no good feelings towards either of them.

"This thing looks quite capable, it's called [Dark Divine Servant. Human Servant], and I don't know if it's something your Su Liang randomly came up with, or if such a potion really exists," Green Na stroked his chin, showing considerable interest in potions.

"[Dark Divine Servant], this term, I seem to have some impression," Dean, the Knight wearing brand new golden armor, spoke with some uncertainty: "When I was young, I followed my Father on campaigns abroad, and by chance, I saw a fragment of an ancient book."

"It mentioned [Dark Divine Servant]!"

"The ancient book fragment said that the Dark Divine Servants are beings who serve the Source of Darkness. There are three Divine Servants in total: Human Servant, Monster Servant, and Demon Attendant!"

"The three Divine Servants will appear one after another every so often as Darkness spreads."

"Of course, they basically appear individually in rotation."

"That sounds plausible," Green Na nodded slightly, then said: "But it sounds more like a story written by a book writer."

"Even if it's true, I think this matter has little to do with people at our level."

"No, it should be said that this matter is closely related to each and every one of us!" Dean's expression became much more serious: "You are all Viscounts, and even more so, Magicians. You should also know what the highest level of a Magician is, right?"

"When a Magician's strength reaches its Peak, that is a Law God," Raine's voice carried a sense of longing.

Green Na didn't speak, but his expression also showed the same look of admiration.

"Then do you know the conditions for becoming a Law God?" When Dean said this, his tone couldn't help but become a little heavy.

However, these words didn't cause any other unusual emotions in Raine and Green Na.

"To become a Law God, one naturally needs to be conferred by Heaven. It is said that this kind of conferment is extremely difficult to obtain. It is not a single fixed conferment; perhaps a Slaughter God from a human bloodbath will receive the conferment, or perhaps a benevolent person who has saved countless lives can receive the conferment, or perhaps an Emperor who has been crowned King can receive the conferment."

"In one era, Heaven confers at most three Law Gods, but that was already in the very, very distant ancient times. In the past few hundred to a thousand years, our Magic Continent has only produced two Law Gods, and they didn't appear in the same era. Compared to the ancients, our talent and ability seem to be much worse," Raine had a certain understanding of this.

"That's right, to become a Law God, one must be conferred by Heaven." Having said this, Dean paused, then took a deep breath and said: "To become a Divine Servant, one also needs to be conferred by Heaven!"

"All along, I've been treating that ancient book as a story."

"But today, the terrifying aura that erupted after Maurice took the potion made me feel that the contents of that ancient book are credible!"

"There are only three slots for Heaven's conferment. What I want to say is that the reason why the number of people conferred as Law Gods has been decreasing in the past thousand years is not because our own talent is insufficient or we haven't worked hard enough, but because the remaining conferment slots are very likely to have been snatched by those Divine Servants who serve Darkness!"

"That's an interesting theory," Green Na didn't know whether he believed it or not, his tone carrying a hint of strangeness: "Speaking of which, in the past hundred years, not a single Law God has appeared among us Humans. According to your theory, could it be that those three slots were all given to the Dark Divine Servants?"

"If Heaven truly had its own consciousness, it would be impossible to help those so-called Dark Divine Servants," Raine interjected.

"Perhaps Heaven itself is too busy to help," Li Changkong glanced at the still dark and dead sky outside the window, sighing inwardly.

Once upon a time, he also held hope for Heaven, hoping that Heaven could see the suffering of these Alien and extend a helping hand.

Later, he realized that it was just meaningless self-hypnosis.

Only this System, whose origin was unknown and which had no relation to him, would help him and was willing to help him!

"Actually, compared to this potion, what I care more about is Su Liang, who gave this potion to Maurice. Where is he now?" Li Changkong slowly spoke, and this sentence also directly pulled the three Viscounts in front of him out of that topic.

"Su Liang? Didn't he already go East?" Dean asked in confusion.

After returning to Busen City once before, he also learned the general information about this person, Su Liang.

Although he himself had no conflict with Su Liang, his Master Li Changkong cared, and this also drove their actions.

"Gone East? I don't think so," Li Changkong shook his head slightly: "The potion is definitely not complete, otherwise Maurice wouldn't have exploded. However, although it's incomplete, judging from the mythological legend that this potion is based on, reaching that level of semi-finished product is absolutely not easy. I don't believe Su Liang would just give the potion to Maurice and then not care about anything."

"If I were him, I would at least be watching Maurice take the potion from some corner, observing the effect brought by this work of mine!"

"I'll organize people to investigate!" Dean responded resolutely.

As the Man walked away, Li Changkong looked at the other two: "You two should also withdraw. Busen City has now lost Maurice, you need to take charge and stabilize the people's morale."

"Yes."

...

After his subordinates had all left, Li Changkong sat alone for a long time.

Although he is no longer as easily affected by things and his emotions fluctuate greatly, he truly couldn't remain calm during today's battle.

Who would have thought that Li Village, this Village that was once ostracized, despised, and discriminated against, could actually defeat Busen City in a frontal battle today?!

Even a few days ago, Li Changkong himself wouldn't have believed it!

Of course, he also understood that everything that brought this about was the System's reward.

In essence, it had nothing to do with their Li Village.

But Li Changkong felt that he could still claim a little credit.

After all...

The electricity used by the Man Bull Legion was at least paid for by their Li Village!

After adjusting his emotions for a while, Li Changkong finally opened the System panel.

As the System panel opened, a pop-up window immediately appeared before his eyes.

This was a familiar pop-up window.

"Ding~ You have an outstanding electricity bill. Please pay it in time."

The cost on the bill was ninety thousand gold coins.

This made Li Changkong's eyelids twitch.

The only aspect that could make him pay for electricity now was the Man Bull Legion!

Ninety thousand gold coins in electricity bills!

The ninety-nine thousand gold coins for electricity that were just filled yesterday, and today this much has been generated again!

It turns out that so much electricity bill was only enough to support one battle!

Li Changkong was still thinking of fighting a few more...

Ignoring this pop-up window with a toothache, Li Changkong looked at the System's main page.

These electricity bills are indeed a lot, and Li Village's current assets cannot afford them.

But fortunately, this battle was won. There must be a lot of money in Busen City, which is enough to support it.

After moving the electricity bill aside, Li Changkong finally heard that familiar and pleasant voice.

"Ding~ Congratulations, Host, for successfully defeating the enemy army and taking absolute control of Busen City. Li Village has ushered in a historic leap forward. As a special reward, the Host is granted the method to obtain the [Dark Divine Servant. Demon Attendant] inheritance."

Since the Dark Troll chose Su Liang, this Son of Destiny, as one of the Three God Servants, Ye Tian will also make the Host one of the Three God Servants.

The best way to deal with the enemy is to penetrate the enemy's interior!

Of course, at this stage, the inheritance of the Demon Attendant has not actually appeared yet. Ye Tian is doing this to deepen the Host's impression.
