Chapter 379 Evil Energy and Faith
The manpower Owen left behind on Hydra Island are still alive. Although they are inevitably aging, they can still control the power by relying on their offspring, which saves him a lot of trouble.
Of course, as a person from heaven, taking over power will definitely cause some trouble, but Owen doesn't care. As he upgrades the castle tower, the population limit increases. After a while, after the transformation of the system, here again will become a new territory.
Although there has been no contact for thirty years, Owen's orders are still well implemented, such as the magic horn trees and black glue bugs he transplanted.
Those men not only planted on Hydra Island, but also specially found a nearby island that was more suitable in all aspects to plant all the magic horn trees. By the way, they also cultivated a large number of black glue worms. However, due to the lack of effective utilization technology, the island It's out of control because there are too many of them.
In fact, if Owen's students hadn't developed a new type of propellant using magic horn tree blocks to refine better steel, even the magic horn trees on Hydra Island would have been overrun.
This is actually a good thing for Owen, but instead of having another territory that produces resources, he pays more attention to the news in the mountains, where are the places where rare resources are really produced.
Fortunately, Hydra Island has maintained trade with the mountains for thirty years. Currently, there is a large amount of rare materials accumulated in the warehouse, which exceeds the number of transactions with the mountains, and this part comes from plunder.
The cheap apprentice that Irving took in back then has now become a pirate queen who dominates the world. She dominates the Queen's Island and has become a well-known big shot.
However, after seeing Owen as her master, Shu Liya still knew how to remain respectful, because the main body of her pirate group was composed of Japanese warriors from Hydra Island, and Owen's appearance had not changed but was getting younger.
Although Shu Liya is partly male, she is more obsessed with appearance than ordinary women. Therefore, the teacher is still a teacher, and she must maintain respect until she grasps the teacher's vital points and forces out all the essence. Otherwise, wouldn't she be a student? All for nothing.
Although he didn't know what Shu Liya was thinking, Owen always felt that it was not a good thing.
However, Irving has long been used to it. The environment Shu Liya lived in since she was a child cannot raise a kind-hearted little white flower, not to mention that her gender problem itself is a way to die on Queen Island. It can be said that she has been living in panic since she was sensible. middle.
No matter what, Shu Liya is indeed a talented person who can stand on her own, so Owen is not going to destroy her. Anyway, Hydra Island has been upgraded. Let her stay here for more time and stop running around at sea. Sooner or later she will be his. .
Knowing that the mountains had not changed much, Owen arrived at Rivendell Town through the teleportation array.
Time here seems to have been frozen. Even after thirty years, it is still not much different from the last time he came. Even the traders are descendants of those people back then. Only the adventurers have changed over time. But the number is much reduced.
This is actually normal, because the magic power of the earth veins has begun to fade, and the frequency of opening the teleportation array has naturally decreased a lot.
As the mayor of Glen Town, after learning about Owen's arrival, Meiya immediately came to accompany him in person. This was both respect and caution, but it was of no use. Owen had already decided to exchange it for a town center here, so this rare snake-haired snake Sooner or later the banshee will become his.
With this idea in mind, Owen was very generous when discussing future cooperation, which made Meiya very satisfied. He even invited him to visit his room, but he was rejected because Owen had personally experienced a snake from Maya. How powerful is the squeezing power of the banshee.
A domesticated one can lose three kilograms at a time, let alone a wild one outside, and the one who plays for free will definitely not cherish and use it, so for his small body, forget it.
After redeeming the town center and setting up the portal, Owen's next focus was on the lizard men at the bottom of the mountain.
Several lizardman clans are still fighting, with no hope of an end in sight.
If the environment here were not very suitable for the lizard people, and the lizard people's reproductive ability is not weak, they might have become extinct long ago.
However, neither Owen nor Dragon Mother cared much about this, because war would make their faith purer. Therefore, even if the Shanmu clan, which believed in Dragon Mother, was renamed the Dragon Mother clan, they still did not achieve the final victory with the help of the gods. It is true that life is much easier, and this also makes the Dragon Mother clan's faith deepen.
Owen has always been very greedy for the huge number of lizard people, so the invasion with faith is just the beginning. Next, he will first build a new territory in the mountains, and then conduct transactions with the lizard people to deepen the relationship between the two parties.
As for why they built a territory first and then traded with the lizardmen, it was mainly because this allowed the lizardmen to choose fair transactions instead of plundering by force.
After the relationship between the two parties deepens, look for opportunities to build a town center in the Lizardmen clan, recruit more Lizardmen, and form an army of Lizardmen.
The whole process will obviously take many years. Fortunately, neither Irving nor his men lack longevity, and he can afford to wait.
When Owen returned from the mountains, evil energy had appeared in the North, but it was not taken seriously.
In fact, this is normal. The barbarian kingdom's blood sacrifice all the way south led to the emergence of many secret realms with undead attributes in the North, and many undead transfer inheritances were left behind, causing the undead casters to almost overrun the North.
In addition, as early as thirty years ago, the Devil's Head and the people of the Church of Flesh were wreaking havoc here. Now, not only have they not disappeared, but they have become stronger. I don't know how many people in the North have colluded with them. So, evil energy, hehe~
The territory will not underestimate evil energy because of this. The lethality of evil energy is only one aspect. The most dangerous thing is the irreversible pollution.
Materials are fine and can be purified after some time, but once a living being is contaminated with evil energy, not only the body, but also the will and soul will be contaminated, and no one can predict what kind of ghost they will eventually turn into, so they must be strictly guarded against.
In fact, the best way to deal with evil energy is not guns, but faith.
Faith is the light of the soul, but mortals cannot use it. However, if you can get a response from the gods, with the help of devout faith, you can enhance the strength of your own soul, resist the pollution of the will and soul by evil energy, and weaken the distortion of the body.
After reaching this conclusion, the temple, which had always been very low-key in the territory, began to expand on a large scale.
Simply expanding the temple is meaningless. The core lies in the transformation and return of faith, and this requires Owen's action.
It's just that at Owen's current level, millions of believers are not a windfall from the sky, but a mountain of gold from the sky, which will be smashed to death without any body parts. Therefore, he must find a carrier for this huge faith, and it cannot fall on him. , otherwise they will either be held to death or crushed to death.
Fortunately, it is not difficult to find carrying objects. Owen has ready-made ones, such as the authority space and sacred objects.
