Chapter 262 Expedition
The prophet carried the ancient book half her taller than her back to the office located underground in the royal city, which was her "laboratory".
She conducted any experiments related to magic directly underground in the royal city.
Although the basement of the royal city is a little dark, the books on the bookshelf are neatly arranged, and no trace of dust or spider webs can be found on the books.
The prophet had an extraordinary persistence in cleanliness and neatness, referred to as obsessive-compulsive disorder...
Although every time I cleaned up, I had to carry small stools back and forth between each bookshelves, the prophet never threw books on the ground like a certain demon prince.
As usual, the prophet put the heavy "History of the Demon Realm" back to its original position, and then took out a raw crystal stone wrapped in special materials from the desk drawer next to it.
This protocrystal stone was the only successful invention of the Demon Prince. As long as it is activated, it can record the sound.
"This is the 72nd record since the invention of the Liuyin Stone, dated 1525 in the Demon Realm Calendar, and recorded the prophet."
The prophet put the original crystal stone at his mouth and said softly.
She developed the habit of writing diaries when she was engaged in magic research, but since she learned how to make such a crystal that can record sounds, she found that using diaries to record the process of exploring unknowns was too cumbersome, so she turned to recording with sounds.
The prophet held the "Liuyin Stone" in his hand and came to the depths of the basement.
This is a cage built by high-strength transparent dragon crystals. A week ago, the surveillance chief Serhili ordered the only craftsmen in the demon world to build this cage that almost all the dragon crystals stored in the royal city were spent.
As for the creatures held inside...
The prophet lifted the gray cloth covering it with his hand. The creature hiding deep in the cage felt the light and immediately let out a harsh roar and rushed towards the light, but it hit the transparent dragon crystal stone wall.
"The water element that has distorted has not become normal over time. It has been completely replaced by some crazy impulse and will endlessly attack the living creatures in sight."
The prophet stared at the water element behind the transparent wall, which could no longer be called the water element.
Although the water elements serving in the royal city have no self-awareness, they will at least maintain the appearance of the Chaos Demon, but this water element has lost its proper appearance and has turned into a ball of viscous gray liquid.
This ball of liquid will occasionally form a spike that hits the transparent wall, just like tearing the prophet's petite body into pieces.
"I tried to use purification to dispel strange substances that were hosted in it in the last experiment, but it seemed that it failed, and the water element still retained its strong aggressiveness."
The prophet said this... Looking at the Water Element behind the transparent wall, which was still attacking her, sighed slightly.
"The reason why this water element is out of control is likely to be similar to the reason why the crops in the fields around the royal city turned to ashes, but I have tried more than 20 methods and finally failed. I can only follow the advice of His Highness Serhili and completely destroy this water element."
When the prophet said this, a hot inscription appeared on his hand. After touching the transparent dragon crystal surface, the temperature inside suddenly rose until the core of the water element was evaporated, allowing it to completely disappear from the prophet's vision.
After all this, the prophet returned to his desk again and took out a backpack for traveling far away.
After hesitating for a while, she began to stuff some objects on the desk into her backpack, while continuing to record what she had done today.
"Sheli hopes that I will go to Nolan to learn human magic. I cannot deny that humans are far ahead of our clan in their magic attainments. Go to Nolan, the capital of magic, to study or find a way to suppress the loss of control of water elements, but..."
When the prophet said this, the movements in his hand paused for a moment. She picked up the sound stone that was recording her voice, and reflected her scarlet pupils on the crystal clear surface of the original crystal stone.
"I can't believe that humans will truly be willing to accept demons. I have seen the most despicable side of human beings and their hatred for demons, so I suspect that this may be a conspiracy planned by the third prince with the help of human power... but I have already thought of a way to deal with it."
The prophet put down the sound stone in his hand, then took off the wooden-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose. Her originally scarlet pupils quickly turned black, and the sharp corners of the race representing the demons on her head gradually disappeared.
Now the Prophet looks like an ordinary little human girl.
"I hope this little transformation of my body can come in handy." The prophet put on wooden glasses again, packed up the things inside the backpack, and wanted to carry the backpack.
But the height of the backpack filled with things was comparable to her height. As soon as she carried the backpack, she lost her balance and sat down on the ground.
"mistake…"
The prophet who was sitting on the ground supported her slightly crooked glasses, then she straightened her calves and tried all her strength to stand up. Several consecutive attempts ended in failure.
"This body cannot bear such a heavy backpack, which slightly reduces part of the burden."
…………
In the firefly tree garden in the center of the royal city, the prophet who packed his luggage came to the center of the garden. The four apprentices who had studied with her had been waiting here for a long time.
"His Highness Serhily should have already explained to you the destination of this mission," said the Prophet.
"But... Master Tutor, is it really possible for Nolan's human beings to accept us?"
The apprentice asked the question was a mixed race born by a horned demon and a succubus. It is extremely rare for demons between different races to have mixed races, and he is one of the million lucky ones.
When the Prophet was performing a mission for Sesilly, the rejected mixed-race child became one of his apprentices on a whim.
"No way to know, so you need to be alert all the time."
The prophet heard the excitement in the apprentice's tone. It seemed that he yearned for the human world very much, or for the legendary magic capital Nolan.
Unfortunately, the spiral sharp corners on his forehead destined him to be unable to integrate into humans. Even if he appears in the human world, he is likely to be expelled by the caster because of his identity as a demon. What's worse is that he is hunted by mercenaries as bounty objects.
The other four apprentices of the Prophet were more or less demonic, but what made the Prophet feel most difficult was her servant...
"Zelu, is the portal ready?"
The prophet looked at the huge figure standing in the garden, like the product of a combination of a lizard and a lion. The light green flame that gushed out from the gaps in the scales was enough to make any human being pick up a weapon.
Her servant is a sinful demon.
If other disciples hide the characteristics of the demon a little and can still move in human cities for a while, this sin demon will almost put the entire city into a state of alert as soon as it enters the city and is surrounded by a large number of human soldiers.
"It's ready, Lord Prophet." said the demon of sin.
The prophet knows that going to the world of mankind with a sinful demon is definitely a wrong choice.
But in order to ensure the safety of her and her apprentices, the prophet had to make this wrong choice. Even if he was surrounded by a group of human soldiers, the prophet was confident that he would rely on the power of this sin demon to escape from the encirclement and return to the demon world.
The place they were going to next was Yingmu Forest, which was filled with the dead, which was no less dangerous than the Chisel Mountains ruled by the Black Dragon Duke.
If the four major dukes in the Demon Realm are ranked in the same ranking as "not easy to talk", the one who ranked first would definitely not be the cruel Black Dragon Duke.
No matter how cruel the Black Dragon Duke is, as long as there is enough gold shining in exchange, he will always make a certain compromise.
The Duke of Skeletons living in the Shadow Mu Forest is a real troublesome guy. Few creatures in the Demon World can walk out of that forest alive.
So to be on the safe side...
"Zelu, come with me."
After leaving this sentence, the prophet was the first to step into the open portal.
