Don't disturb the sorcerer's scientific research

Chapter 185 The "Divine Artifact" Base and the False "Mother Goddess"

The moment the "Mother Goddess" knelt and raised her hands, the atmosphere in the castle became slightly subtle.

The atmosphere had been built up to this point, and a major battle was about to break out.

With swarms of bats and a blood moon, the commotion made it seem like a vampire god had descended to earth.

The result was that kneeling was incredibly smooth and effortless.

The Radiant Knight is also a god who doesn't kill enemies who surrender.

The sword, radiant with holy light, had already been unleashed when it was abruptly deflected just before it struck.

The longsword, condensed with light, grazed the opponent's hair and cleaved the main castle behind them.

The ancient castle, which had been lingering on for who knows how many years, was completely taken offline at this moment.

Wherever the blow struck, the stone wall crumbled like tofu, and the upper half of the ancient castle slid and collapsed along the smooth cut on the sloping surface.

What used to be a passable, dilapidated castle is now an open-air dwelling.

Like the crumbling castle, the high priest, who stubbornly refused to die, was also cleaved off the map by a single sword strike.

She wasn't hit by the lightning.

The high priestess surrendered without even fighting simply because she saw the "mother goddess" in her fantasy who could punish her enemy, Jia Xiu. Her last hope was completely shattered, and the pillar that kept her hanging on by her last breath was gone.

She didn't even have the strength to make a sound; she died like a maggot.

The Radiant Knight gracefully sheathed his sword, not forgetting to turn back and remind Jash: "Remember to spread the word to the believers here that I won."

A demigod with a strong sense of career ambition.

She's been the butt of jokes for weeks, and finally she has a positive story to tell. It wasn't easy for her.

She walked up to the surrendered "Mother Goddess".

Just now, because I was so tense, all my attention was focused on defeating my opponent, and I didn't pay close attention to their physical condition.

Now that you've relaxed a bit, you'll have a chance to observe carefully.

Justina soon discovered that the so-called "Mother Goddess" was not a god and did not possess any divine authority; she was simply a powerful being.

The key to determining whether someone is a god lies in whether they possess unique divine authority, not in how powerful they are. It's just that those who possess divine authority are generally very powerful.

However, there are exceptions. There are a few very minor gods who, let alone legends, cannot even defeat slightly higher-level professionals. They do not wield any legitimate divine authority; they are merely vassals within a pantheon.

The creature before them, which was originally very powerful, was in a very weak state.

This is also why she surrendered.

Whether he could win in his prime is another matter, but in his current state, he definitely has no chance.

Justina then understood why she had made such a big fuss.

The idea is to create a grand, intimidating scene to see if it can scare away the opponent and prevent them from revealing their weakness.

It didn't scare them.

"who are you?"

Justina asked.

The other person blinked in confusion.

"*****"

The Radiant Knight sighed. "Very well, it seems they don't know the Common Language at all; they can neither speak nor understand it."

What kind of ancient monster is this? The common language was already widely used hundreds of years ago.

It is precisely at times like these that she can truly showcase the vast knowledge of a dignified and glorious knight.

Justina smiled confidently and spoke in a very ancient language.

Being older has many advantages.

however.

"*****"

Justina frowned slightly and switched to several more archaic languages.

This fully demonstrates the richness of her language knowledge as an "old-fashioned" person.

Unfortunately, it was of no use.

The light was displayed, but the other side didn't respond with a single sentence.

At this moment, Jassi and his friends, along with Gillianis, approached.

They found that this "mother goddess" seemed to pose no danger. She knelt there quietly, holding her hands up without getting tired, and was quite patient in chatting with Justina across servers.

Regardless of whether you understand or not, every question will be answered, and I will never let anything slip by.

"Justina, take a break. Stop showing off your obscure language knowledge. We should use magic to solve this kind of problem. What era are we living in?"

Jia Xiu walked over and said.

"Isn't this something that requires language proficiency?"

Proficient in languages, a translator in the magical world, a very useful first-level ritual spell that allows the target to know the meaning of the language they hear for a period of time.

Jia Xiu sprinkled a handful of salt, a commonly used spellcasting material that he usually carried with him. Not only did he not have to worry about the expiration date, but it could also come in handy when he had nowhere to eat and needed to start a fire to cook for himself. It couldn't be more multifunctional.

As he cast his spell, Bubu stared at the "Mother Goddess" with its tiny yellow bean eyes, its furtive cat-like appearance attracting her attention.

Even the "Mother Goddess" is helpless; family members, who understands?

After sleeping for a long time, I finally woke up and saw this combination.

Fortunately, they didn't seem to have any malicious intent.

Bubu's adorable appearance effectively eased her outwardly calm but actually panicked state of mind.

"Alright, the spell has taken effect."

Jia Xiu clapped his hands, wiping the remaining salt off them.

The "mother goddess" was very cooperative and offered no resistance to his spellcasting.

They're much easier to talk to than those cult members.

"Who are you?" Jia Xiu asked directly in Common.

The "Mother Goddess" looked at Jia Xiu for two seconds with her bright, watery eyes.

Then he replied: "*****"

The Radiant Knight's sarcastic voice immediately rang out, "Oh dear, you should use magic to solve problems in times like this. What era are we living in?"

Hold a grudge.

Gillianis was also surprised. So this is what the gods are like in private?
It seems that elves aren't the only ones who care about their image.

She patted Jia Xiu on the shoulder, "Your language skills aren't very good, let me do it."

Gillianis is now also very interested in this "Mother Goddess". From the feeling, she is somewhat like the original vampire, the first vampire to appear in the world, and the source of all vampires.

However, she wasn't entirely sure.

Because they are few in number and powerful, even this long-lived elf has never had close contact with them. Moreover, news about the primordial vampires has become increasingly scarce in recent centuries, as if one day suddenly all the primordial vampires agreed to disappear together.

This makes the person in front of me seem even more precious.

An extremely rare research subject.

Those who become legendary spellcasters generally possess a strong curiosity and an extremely high thirst for knowledge when it comes to research.

After Gillianice finished speaking, she displayed her fluent language skills.

As a translator spell, Language Mastery actually has language packs. The common version of Language Mastery only has the language packs set up by the association, which are convenient and easy to learn, but actually lack some niche languages.

If there are special needs, you can go to the association to learn upgraded spells. In comparison, Jia Xiu's is the basic version.

Gillianis's is Pro Plus Max.

With the spell finished, Gillianice said confidently, "Alright, ask away."

"Who are you."

"*****"

In three minutes, he made Radiant Knight, Jash, and Gillianis suffer consecutive defeats, achieving remarkable results.

“How about we talk to the deceased High Priest?” Mia suggested in a low voice. “Maybe she understands the language.”

"Wait, I have another plan."

Jia Xiu suddenly said.

He took out paper and pen, handed them to "Mother Goddess," and gestured for her to write.

Gillianis was baffled by Jashy's actions.

"No, I can't even understand it when I hear it, but I can understand it when it's written down?"

"Theoretically speaking, I can recognize all characters."

“Recognizing all the characters? That’s ridiculous…” Gillianis said, then suddenly realized, “This is an ability granted to me by your sect leader?”

Jia Xiu nodded.

"I'm not trying to offend you, but granting someone an ability that only allows them to see but not hear... does your sect leader have some kind of problem?"

"I completely agree with your opinion."

Upon seeing the paper and pen that Jia Xiu handed over, "Mother Goddess" understood his meaning and took it to write a lot.

Jia Xiu immediately recognized that it was the same as the inscription carved on the base in the sanctuary.

She was indeed from the same background as that base.

As for what she wrote, Jia Xiu also relayed it in Common Language at the same time she wrote it.

“I am Elizabeth, a primordial vampire, who has been sleeping here for a long time, guarding the Gate of Anka. Today is the day I awaken periodically. There should be some people here to greet me. Where are they now? Who are you? Why are you attacking me? Please don’t hurt me. I haven’t hurt anyone.”

Judging from what she wrote, she seemed to be a very wronged primordial vampire.

From her perspective, she was indeed very wronged. After being asleep for many years, she finally woke up, but before she could recover, she was almost attacked by a knife as soon as she went out.

Upon hearing Jia Xiu's account, Gillianis exclaimed, "As expected of a primordial vampire, still so powerful even after sleeping for so long, it's truly unreasonable."

Based on the current understanding of the primordial vampires in this world, they are a group of rather unreasonable creatures.

I haven't seen them study any magic, or heard any rumors about them learning cultivation. They are just highly skilled and have the ability to create and control vampires.

The only creature more unreasonable than this is probably the dragon race.

The dragons are even more outrageous; as long as they live, their strength is directly proportional to their age. They eat and sleep, and the more they eat and sleep, the stronger they become.

At least the original vampires didn't get stronger and stronger.

In Jia Xiu's view, there are many problems with this "confession".

He pieced together a sentence by imitating a few of the characters.

I don't even know if the grammar is correct.

In fact, grammar is the least important element in simple communication; as long as it's understandable, it's fine.

Elizabeth was overjoyed to see that Jasius had written in a way she could understand, but when she understood his question, she frowned.

It was as if a question mark was about to pop out of my head.

"We didn't attack you."

Elizabeth was writing furiously on the paper, her pen practically sparking with ink.

"Why aren't you attacking me anymore? Don't you know how terrifying it was when I was very weak after waking up and saw an incredibly powerful figure wielding a giant, glowing sword several stories high, poised to strike me down?"

Judging from the speed at which she wrote, Elizabeth was indeed very upset about bumping into a demigod when she went out.

"You started it first (a simple bat drawing), and then (a simple spell vortex drawing), so we're going to attack you."

The little bit of simple drawing skills that Jia Xiu had accumulated from doodling in his textbooks during class finally came in handy.

Elizabeth glanced at him with a puzzled look, but then she understood what Jassiu meant.

"Those are illusions, they're harmless. I can't just show that I'm really weak, what if I run into bad guys?"

When writing about the bad guys, he even glanced at Jia Xiu and the others.

He then wrote, "I don't mean that you are all bad people, I'm just assuming, assuming."

At that moment, Jia Xiu suddenly wondered if he had some kind of buff that allowed him to "meet only comedians".

What does it mean for a primordial vampire to be so cowardly?

However, if those scenes were all illusions, then Elizabeth's level of illusion magic is a bit too high.

It's one thing if he couldn't tell it was an illusion, but none of the people present—Justina, a numerical monster; Gillianis, a legendary spellcaster; and Bubu, a high-ranking fairy undead with considerable skill in illusions—could tell it was an illusion.

She's not quite a "Mother Goddess," but she's almost at the level of a Mother Goddess.

This was still her weakened state.

Jia Xiu decided to put aside the question of who made the first move.

"You wrote that someone should greet you. Who is that person?"

Jia Xiu could actually guess that these people were referring to the Moon Mother Goddess Cult.

But judging from Elizabeth's timid appearance, she doesn't seem like she would put on that kind of religious act.

"There were some humans. When I first arrived here, some of them saw me. I originally wanted to use some illusion magic to scare them away because I needed to ensure the safety of the Anka Gate. But instead of being scared away, they all knelt down. I told them to get up and leave, but they wouldn't leave. They insisted on following me. So I tried to communicate with them."

“I told them I needed to guard the Gate of Anka, which is a dimensional teleportation device that leads to a new world. I needed to ensure that the Gate of Anka could send us back after our mission was completed. Later, the device became unstable, and I could only use my own magic to maintain its stability. Because the consumption was too great, I had to fall into a deep sleep. I told those humans that I would wake up, and they seemed to understand.”

As Jasmine read Elizabeth's account, Jasmine gradually came to understand.

It can be confirmed that this is the Mother Goddess of the Moon Mother Cult, and it can also be confirmed that she communicated with the ancestors of the townspeople of Chachdis Town across servers.

One thought he had explained it clearly, while the other thought he had understood it.

Then the ancestors of the townspeople here "self-realized" the teachings of the Mother Goddess.

The so-called arrival of heaven should be the new world that the Gate of Anka leads to.

As for the Gate of Anka, it must be the base that the believers have kept in the sanctuary for generations.

It turns out to be a dimensional teleportation item; no wonder the spell runes on it are incredibly complex.

A spell capable of reliably traversing planes, starting at the ninth level.

It's definitely not something he can figure out at this stage.

However, while Elizabeth's account answered some questions, it also raised many new ones.

What is their mission? What plane are they heading to? Who are they? Where are they to be sent back to?

But before figuring out these issues, Jia Xiu has one more question to ask.

"What were you repeating before?"

He was referring to the "*****" that Elizabeth used when the two sides were unable to communicate.

One of them sounded like he was repeating something several times.

Elizabeth blushed slightly at the mention of this.

Hesitantly wrote on the paper, "I'm hungry."
