Gods, Ashes Descend

Chapter 76 Finding things to do everywhere

Without a chance, Li Wei could only wander around aimlessly.

I'm planning to go check out the checkpoint; it should be quite lively there now. Maybe Little Red Riding Hood, who can summon spirits, is there too.

Li Wei has discovered that some assassins are using soul-summoning bells they've somehow acquired to summon ghosts and aid them in battle.

These guys are incredibly slippery as explorers; they grab anything that boosts their combat power and use it without any trouble.

When Li Wei arrived, he found it quite lively, but it was a lively battle. The pass had been recaptured, and every now and then, the explorers' small teams would fight with the royal army's patrol teams.

Moreover, there are restless fading individuals lurking nearby, taking advantage of the chaos, and demi-humans occasionally pop up to join in the fun.

Nebulae filled the sky. Li Wei was cooking a pot of salted fish soup, and he lay on the grass with his arm as a pillow, acting as a salted fish.

A figure accompanied by specks of spiritual light appeared and stood in front of Li Wei's head.

Li Wei looked up and could only see a big hat; she was practically flat-chested.

"O foreign king who brings more war, what do you seek in this borderland?"

Li Wei blinked. Why had Lani come looking for him? Or was she worried because he had threatened her mother's safety?

But now that I'm dressed like a local, I don't know how she found me. I just asked her directly.

How did you find me?

"Your whereabouts are not a secret."

It's pretty high-class, but Li Wei guessed it was probably sent to the assassins to send them bells, and they had to ask around to find it.

His own resurrection mechanism is stronger than that of the killers. These guys aren't afraid of him getting into trouble at all; they even hope he gets into a fight with someone.

Li Wei got up, took out a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and ladled a bowl of soup into the pot.

"Would you like a bowl? Can your doll-like body even eat?"

Lani shook her head and answered.

"I'm here to warn you. Twofinger has given you a kill order. Their shadows will come after you."

"Not dying doesn't mean there's no way to deal with it."

Li Wei replied indifferently.

"A predetermined death? Or a death rune?"

After saying that, he picked up the bowl and started chugging.

Just kidding. What's the difference between this and using a Qing Dynasty sword to kill a modern official? The rules are completely different. If you could kill yourself so easily, you wouldn't even need to exist as a Primordial Fire Spirit.

Lani paused for a moment, then spoke to Li Wei, who was pouring soup into his mouth from the bowl.

"It seems you know the border area better than I thought. Here, take this."

As he spoke, he pulled out a brick-sized book.

"I heard you've been obsessed with learning magic lately. You can accept the radiant stone representing the stars, but are you willing to accept the power of the moon?"

Li Wei gets a headache just looking at books, and it's not just about books, is it?

"cost?"

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. I cursed Two Fingers. The moon can accept a bonfire lit on the ground, but gold cannot."

For now, life and soul in this world are closely connected with the law, but I hope that they will be separated as much as possible.

Whether it's sight, emotion, faith, or touch, all will be imperceptible, completely free from the control of the two fingers—freedom, individual freedom.

He turned his head to look towards the woods and slowly backed away.

"It seems we can't continue this conversation. Kalia will help you."

Li Wei glared and said, "Who the hell needs your help? All I want to do right now is stuff your mother into the campfire. How the hell am I supposed to stuff her in an alliance? Are we going to betray our allies? I'm not some blue-eyed Jerry from Jiangdong."

He threw down the bowl and shouted loudly.

"etc!"

But Lani didn't give Li Wei a chance to speak at all, her figure vanished, leaving only a dumbfounded Li Wei with Er Kang's outstretched hand.

However, no sooner had this ended than a figure emerged from the edge of the woods.

Looking at the newcomers, Li Wei's eyes twitched. These bastards sold their positions pretty readily; anyone could find him.

The visitor was none other than Fia, the sleepless girl representing the dead prince, also known as Hug.

She's very pretty, but she's only a B at best. Thumbs down. The teacher is much better.

When Fia arrived, she went straight to the point.

"Your Excellency, immortality is a curse. I have asked many of you, and they do not object to endless slumber. So I would like to ask you, may I move about in your camp?"

Li Wei sighed upon hearing this, but simply refused.

"We will find a way to heal, instead of simply using death to escape."

"Is that so? Then I'll take my leave."

After the person left, Li Wei lay back down, but less than ten minutes later, someone else came.

This time, however, he was a real man. He dismounted ten meters from Li Wei's campfire, took off his helmet, and held it to his waist.

He walked up to Li Wei, bowed respectfully, handed him an invitation, and began to speak.

"Your Excellency, we have observed that you are all powerful warriors. On behalf of the Lord of Red Lion City, I extend an invitation to you to attend the battle celebration and bid farewell to the most powerful demigod, General Rataen."

I believe you can calm the general down, instead of making him look so pathetic.

General Ratahn, the Shattered Star General, was poisoned into madness by the Valkyrie in her second transformation, resulting in a mutual defeat.

The damage that crimson decay does to the land is exceptionally severe, and Li Wei is unsure whether it will continue to spread.

However, Li Wei felt he could set conditions.

He stood up and accepted the solemn invitation.

"I will bring men there and will be responsible for bringing peace to your general, but I hope you can join us after we have finished."

"We'll take the college and serve as guards to maintain order, instead of waiting to die in that corrupt place."

The knight frowned as he answered.

"Your Excellency, this is not something I can decide, but I will relay your words."

"Can."

The knight took his leave, and Levi lay down, gazing at the sky. He listened to the sound of hurried footsteps and sighed.

Isn't it annoying? Here we go again. Do you have to make such a fuss just because you're out here?

He sat up abruptly and looked at the people who had come. Several assassins had led a group of wandering knights to find him.

These bastards are just asking for trouble, why are they always creating problems for themselves?

One college can't satisfy you; you just want to stir up trouble.

"Sir, we'd like to know if you're interested in the Great Rune on Greck. We can act as inside agents if you attack Stoneville."

But I want to be treated the same as our fellow citizens, instead of carrying thorns and enduring pain all the time.

The knight is not bound by thorns; it is the exiled soldiers who are bound by thorns, a humiliation for the defeated and a reminder of their status.

But their large number of outsiders probably gave those who were dissatisfied them an opportunity.

"Any other requirements?"

The leading knight was silent for a moment, then shook his head.

Li Wei raised an eyebrow.

"I thought you were planning to take Stoneville City."

"Betrayal is not honorable, and we have no right to make demands."

They were very sensible, and Li Wei didn't mind giving them a hand.

"I'll make arrangements in a while."
