Chapter Thirteen: Sauron's Gift

In the blink of an eye, it's March.

There is only one and a half years left until the holy catastrophe begins, and there are only about twenty months left before the fall of the goddess of magic.

Sauron always felt that there was something chasing him behind. Even though he was walking fast enough, he still felt that there was not enough time. Especially after the news came back that the Vampire Son of God had defeated the Church of Fear, Sauron's sense of crisis became even stronger. According to the original historical trajectory, it should be Lilian, the Witch of Fear, who woke up, and then she took control of the Church of Fear, and finally set off a tragic killing. But now that the control of the Church of Terror has become the son of a vampire, a massacre seems to be coming.

Vivian was sent back to the overseas islands.

Sauron can't take the risk of further awakening her fearful divinity, because as the boundaries of the planes become looser and looser, high-level demons still have half a year at most before they can break through the barriers of the planes and come to the material plane. The devils have already appeared, and they bewitched the mortal dignitaries to start a war, and the arrival of high-level demons is only a matter of time. Since this period of time, the number of devil followers in the material plane has become more and more frequent, and some evil organizations have carried out taboo sacrificial rituals.

Relatively speaking, the south coast, which has just experienced a war, is quite calm.

The news from all quarters is not good.

There are signs that the orcs have moved south. The half-orcs of mixed race launched a plunder, and the internal friction of the human principality increased. Even the Duchess of the Red Dragon, who had just fought against Sauron, was involved in the war to suppress the rebellion. It seems that starting from March, all the conflicts accumulated in the past six months broke out, and war broke out in at least seven places on the entire continent.

There was also news from Fallen Leaf City.

Sauron heard that the half-elf god was missing, and the priests who believed in him could no longer gain magic.

He didn't quite remember where this god fell into the mortal world, but he remembered that he died in the dark region in the end, following the fall of this weak god. The world's attitude towards the gods has also gradually changed.

………………

Everything on the Eastern route is normal.

The mission of the Monk Monastery is to suppress those ancient evils. At least before the demon army brings destruction, many powerful monks live in seclusion all over the world.

This is their tradition!

Just like the boxing master Sauron met, he should be practicing somewhere at the moment.

The Eastern route is to supply the consumption of the monastery, and training monks also consumes a lot of resources, and many secret methods need to be trained with expensive medicinal materials.

Sauron still has a sense of propriety in doing things.

Because he is a lawful person. It just so happens that monks are also members of the lawful camp, and both of them attach great importance to the existence of order and rules.

The man in charge of the east coast is the half-elf first mate.

He is a ruthless and decisive person. If he controls the Eastern route, nothing will happen in a short time.

so.

After entering March, Sauron was going to return to the overseas islands.

He had to prepare for the next step, and laying a foundation in the overseas islands was for further plans, and further plans would definitely be against the gods and saints.

Even if there is no conflict with other gods, the battle between Sauron and the Dread Demon God is inevitable.

He died.

But it's not dead yet!

All Sauron needs to do is for the Fear Demon God to fall completely. Vivian's safety could no longer be threatened.

There are four element spars in total.

The earth element spar is near the kingdom of elves, the water element spar is in the ice and snow kingdom, and the fire element spar is in the desert area. The approximate locations of these three places are very clear to Sauron, but the last air element spar is only known to be in a very dangerous area.

This is a chain task of legendary difficulty!

It was a coincidence that Sauron obtained the earth element spar. He still remembers the last time they left. The gigantic rock giant rushing out from under the altar of elements.

That is the real guardian!

After the four element spars are synthesized, the level will be further improved, and finally there will be a summoning spell close to the legendary level.

——"Elemental Legion!"

To complete this task back then was piled up with human heads, and a total of three regiments of high-level professionals were killed in battle. With Sauron's current strength, he should be able to try to complete it independently.

After all, his equipment far exceeded the standard at that time!

The destination of the first stop is the country of ice and snow. The situation in Arendelle seems to be a bit bad, Sauron intends to go and have a look.

He is a man who takes commitment very seriously!

The altar of the water element spar is only about 100 kilometers away from Arendelle. There were many active ice trolls nearby, and he was going to cross the Northland to get there, passing through Arendelle on the way. Then the next stop is the Death Desert, and the first goal is to get the fire element spar. Then find a way to obtain the rogue's artifact [anti-detection cloak].

This is the core equipment against the saint!

As for the last piece of element spar, Goliath and others may need to go together, because that place is a little dangerous.

Sauron dealt with the possibility of capsizing in the gutter by himself.

Collecting all four elemental crystals can unlock a seal, and the reward is a piece of godhead. If it also has divinity, then the ultimate effect is to transform someone into a [half god]!

Whether it is Vivian or the current Sauron, they can use this piece of godhead to advance to demigod.

therefore.

It can be said that Sauron is bound to obtain this shard of godhead. After all, this is one of the few ways he knows to get the shard of godhead without slaughtering the gods.

to be honest.

Even if he is united with everyone now, he is not very sure about fighting against a divine saint with weak divine power.

Because demigods and above are immune to the legendary spell [Time Stop].

Losing Vivienne's nirvana time stop, the success rate of confronting the gods and saints began to plummet. This is the same as having the god-slaying spell 'Ma Youfu Micro Meteor'. After all, this spell can only help them break through the protection of the gods' laws, and cannot directly kill the saints who are incarnations of gods.

………………

Returning to the Outer Islands again has been very different.

The size of Modo Port has doubled, and there are two unfinished magnificent buildings next to it, namely the Temple of the Sea and the Temple of Wealth. The two churches seem to be secretly competing for strength. The materials used to build the temple are extremely expensive, and many of them have to be transported across the ocean from other places. People are so realistic sometimes. The more majestic the temple, the higher the possibility of attracting believers. According to this progress, it is impossible to build a temple without a year or two.

Merchant ships from the rich cities had approached, and trade from the Outer Isles had attracted many.

Especially now that land wars are becoming more and more serious, overseas routes will help expand the influence of the Goddess of Fortune in the field of trade.

Modo City is still the same as before.

It's just that the scale is a little bigger, and at the same time, green shoots emerge from the cultivated land in the south. The spring wheat has been planted, and even if it is not a bumper harvest this year, it can guarantee self-sufficiency.

Sauron had many things to do in a short period of time, but no matter how many things he had to do, he had to do it step by step.

afternoon.

Groups of slaves were gathered, and Modo City now has nearly two or three thousand slaves.

Sauron stood on the high platform and looked down at the slaves below, then nodded to the red-haired female pirate next to him, and then nearly thirty slaves were brought out.

"I'm a person who values ​​commitment."

Sauron looked down at the slave in front of him. He was also staring at other people, his eyes swept over the drow warrior next to him, and he could feel that the other party was avoiding his sight, because he was very dissatisfied with the internal behavior of the drow a while ago.

Slap.

Sauron walked in front of these slaves, and at the front were two slave brothers who looked alike. They were the ones Vivian saved back then.

"Hard work should be rewarded, and I'm not a stingy master."

Sauron stared at these slaves, their expressions were somewhat panicked, only the two brothers at the front showed surprise. Because Vivienne had promised that some people would be rewarded.

"As your master!"

Sauron looked down at the more than thirty slaves, and said in a deep voice: "I grant you freedom! From today onwards, you will obtain the status of residents of Modo City. You will have your own houses, properties and families."

"Come on!"

"Unshackle them!"

There was an exclamation.

The densely packed slaves all raised their heads involuntarily, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Are they free?

How can this be! ! !

But the next scene made them realize that this was not a joke, because the city guard next to them unshackled the more than thirty slaves, and then threw pieces of rough linen clothes to them. Except for the two brothers standing in front. The other slaves still couldn't help but look surprised, because they didn't expect that Sauron would grant them freedom.

Those who were set free were docile slaves.

Most of them were from the mainland, and only three were Aboriginal slaves.

The so-called granting freedom naturally does not allow them to come and go, they are just given the status of residents of Modo City, and then have the right to house, property and form a family.

These people still have to work for Sauron.

It's just that they don't have to live in a stinking cage, don't have to be whipped by the guards, can earn their own private wealth, and live a life far superior to that of other slaves.

free?

Relative freedom is also freedom.

Sauron had already given them the greatest gift, so they should not think too much about it.

"Take them down."

Sauron turned around and glanced at the red-haired female pirate, and said in a deep voice, "There are housing arrangements for them in the north. From tomorrow onwards, they won't have to work with other slaves. Those who have special skills will be assigned to other places, and those who don't have special skills will be assigned to other places." Just arrange to work at the port. These two people are very talented in farming, let them be the stewards in charge of farming."

slave.

population.

There is still a difference between the two.

Sauron's next step is to convert the slaves in Modo City into people. Of course, they must be docile slaves. Those natives who are difficult to discipline will naturally have drow to deal with them.
