Chapter 405: Malice from the Orient
Fang Linyan said,
“Why so?”
High priestess said in hatred,
“I’ve just used the scared spell to check the deceased’s memory, and I got part of the residual information in their memories!”
“The purpose of this group of people is very vicious. They intend to set fire to the manor directly to force out our means.”
“The reason why they chose was because you were far away from the main building, and you were still alone, so it was less risky to deal with you first.”
Fang Linyan smiled and said,
“So my unintentional actions made them think I’m a weakling!?”
The high priestess said,
“You can say that. Our defenses are too lax. If they chose other people, they might have already succeeded.”
Fang Linyan wondered,
“Who the hell is targeting us?”
The high priestess said seriously,
“When you tried to enter the Acropolis, the government actually fortified inspections of this place, so I investigated using this clue.”
“The final conclusion is that the order was issued by the deputy mayor of Athens, Pros.”
“On the eve of the order issued by Pross, his bank account received a transfer of 1.4 million US dollars.”
Fang Linyan’s eyes lit up when he heard it. He asked,
“Then where did the money come from?”
The high priestess said,
“From… Japan.”
“Japan?”
Fang Linyan was stunned for a moment, then he recalled that the 2 men in black he caught seemed indeed very similar to Asians. He couldn’t help but said,
“Could it be that the Evil God, who covets the Goddess’ godhood, originated from Japan?”
Speaking of this, Fang Linyan couldn’t help looking at the bracelet named Sakura Dragon Bundle on his wrist, which seemed to be inextricably linked with that country.
The high priestess said,
“It should be, because shortly after I returned to the manor, I almost encountered an assault.”
“However, because of the protection of the Goddess’ snake incarnation, Alessandro, this attack was voided without me even noticing it.”
“The enemy who attacked me was a shikigami, which was digested by Alessandro not long ago.”
Fang Linyan smiled and said,
“Interesting! But Greece is your home game. Before, it was only because the enemy was in the dark, but now they should be the ones who feel anxious right?”
The high priestess shook her head and said,
“The enemy has many methods at present. Even I feel physically and mentally exhausted. So, this is really hard to say.”
Fang Linyan said,
“Actually, you have to think about it this way. There is an old saying in China that misfortune may be an actual blessing in disguise.”
“This Evil God covets the Goddess’ godhood, so from another perspective, doesn’t it mean that the Goddess can also devour it as a nutrient?”
Hearing Fang Linyan’s words, the eyes of the high priestess suddenly lit up, then she slowly shook her head and said,
“It’s difficult to do this in a short period of time. After all, the Evil God is in Japan.”
“The Goddess has no way to plunder its power without touching its main body.”
“However, if the Goddess took the initiative to go to Japan to devour this Evil God, the movement would be too obvious!”
“If it attracts the attention of the rest of the Gods and discovers the secret of the Goddess, then the loss outweighs the gain.”
Fang Linyan said,
“Then, is it that we can only passively defend?”
The high priestess sighed slightly and said,
“In a short period of time, it is still difficult for the Goddess’ divine power to increase significantly, unless…”
Speaking of this, she rolled her beautiful eyes and glanced at Fang Linyan.
The meaning of this glance was still very obvious, that was to rely on sacrificing the devil items brought by Fang Linyan.
Fang Linyan smiled and said,
“Okay, then I’ll go to work first. Call me if you have anything.”
***
Then the high priestess immediately launched a tit-for-tat counterattack,
She first used the contacts among the believers to make the deputy mayor of Athens, Pros, a scandal and ruined his reputation.
Next, the snake incarnation of the Goddess, Alessandro, was dispatched, killing 3 Japanese students studying in an apartment.
In the end, the police came to the conclusion that these international students lived in disorder and took too many drugs.
Immediately afterward, power grids and a 24-hour uninterrupted monitoring system were installed around the entire manor. Special security guards were hired too.
With the 2 countermeasures, the Evil God seemed to have stopped. Fang Linyan spent a whole week of leisurely time here without being disturbed.
It was worth mentioning that Fang Linyan insisted on paying the butler for the food and accommodation during this period.
Hartchy was dumbfounded at this, but Fang Linyan insisted on paying. Therefore, he had to charge him a symbolic fee of 100 euros per week.
During these 7 days, Fang Linyan had successfully crafted the Mechanical Dire Wolf Heart, but he encountered a critical on the Mechanical Gyrfalcon Egg.
At this moment, he suddenly received a message on his retinas.
“Contestant ZB419, if you want to conduct an Ascension Trial, please enter the space within 8 hours.”
“Please note that this Ascension Trial is in a special situation. Once it is opened, it will be very difficult to initiate the Ascension Trial again in the short term.”
“You will face very difficult challenges in the Ascension Trial, so please be prepared and adjust your personal state.”
Seeing this prompt, Fang Linyan looked at it for a few seconds in astonishment, then he let out a long sigh.
His original plan was to create the casting material, Mechanical Gyrfalcon Egg before entering the Space to perform the Ascension Trial.
But there was no doubt that this sudden event disrupted his plan, but if he were to give up on this Ascension Trial, he was really unwilling.
Finally, Fang Linyan lowered his head and glanced at the strange piece of metal in his palm.
This piece of metal was about fist-size. Its surface was silver-white. At first glance, it looked like a regular cube, but when one looked closely, it was constantly rotating. There seemed to be a mystery hidden in it.
This was the Mechanical Dire Wolf Heart that Fang Linyan had spent the past few days crafting.
After having it, Fang Linyan was still confident in trying the Ascension Trial.
It was worth mentioning that after the Mechanical Dire Wolf Heart was done, it was directly identified as blue casting material.
It meant that Fang Linyan could directly bring it into the Space.
In this way, it saved him the troubles of finding material tools and reprocessing casting materials after entering the adventure world.
After all, with the increase in the strength of the summon, the difficulty of making the corresponding casting material was also increasing.
So he simply went to take a shower and slept for 6 hours.
After his genes were optimized, 6 hours of sleep were already comparable to the sleep of 12 hours.
After Fang Linyan ate a full meal, he was getting ready for the next adventure.
When it was only 1 hour left, Fang Linyan came to the stairs on the 4th floor of the manor and glanced at the statue of Athena with deep meaning.
Then headed down the stairs.
At the same time, the imprint on his chest also shone with light, and he disappeared.
At the same time, the high priestess who was staying in her room immediately raised her head and looked towards Fang Linyan’s side. She couldn’t help saying with a hint of expectation,
“Has he gone to another plane again? I wonder what surprise will he brings this time?”
***
After returning to Noah Space, Fang Linyan naturally returned to his private room first.
Because according to the convention, the Ascension Trial needed to be initiated here.
Sure enough, as soon as he entered his room, the prompt appeared on his retinas.
“Contestant ZB419, your 2 of your basic attributes have broken through 15 points, so you are qualified to challenge the Ascension Trial.”
“This Ascension Trial is special. The difficulty will be increased by one level to become an Advanced Ascension Trial.”
“Advanced Ascension Trial is more difficult than regular Ascension Trials, but you will get more rewards at the end.”
“There are no requirements for performing an Advanced Ascension Trial, and there is no penalty for failure, but the trial is extremely dangerous.”
“During the Advanced Ascension Trial, if you feel danger, you can choose to terminate it immediately.”
“But it takes 1 minute to teleport you. If you die within 1 minute, the teleportation will fail.”
“You only have one chance to perform an Advanced Ascension Trial.”
“Do you want to perform this Advanced Ascension Trial?”
There was no doubt that Fang Linyan chose yes.
Immediately, a series of prompts popped up again:
“Contestant ZB419, this Advanced Ascension Trial is conducted in a Low-intensity Space Battlefield.”
“You are currently still a contestant, and your military rank has not reached the standard, so you are not eligible to enter the Low-Intensity Space Battlefield. This entry is an exception.”
“Therefore, if you complete/fail the Advanced Ascension Trial, you will be forced to leave. Please be prepared to enter the Low-Intensity Space Battlefield with the rest after 4 hours!”
At this time, Fang Linyan felt a lack of intel, but he found that Goat was still here. Therefore, he immediately told Goat about the trial.
After Goat heard about it, he immediately typed a series of “…”, then he said,
“Boss, wait, I’ll come over now.”
About 5 minutes later, Fang Linyan received a notification,
“The chosen one Goat has applied for access to your private room, do you want to authorize it?”
Fang Linyan simply authorized it.
After they met, they said a few pleasantries. Fang Linyan found out that Goat hadn’t returned to the real world at this time. The treatment given to Goat by the Space was really insane. Fang Linyan couldn’t help being envious.
