Gods, Ashes Descend

Chapter 34 23 Things About the Sacrificial Site

Two hours? Actually, it didn't even take two hours. When Li Wei led his men into the police station, before they even went inside, they saw a thick, long, round, high-speed object flying towards them.

He tossed aside the weapon in his hand, calmly lit a cigarette, said goodbye to the lark, and was then engulfed in a small mushroom cloud.

For the company, this is the best option, since the cost of a fully military-grade cyborg, an armed helicopter, and a heavy mech is much higher than building a police station.

As for manpower, more people will die if Li Wei continues to summon them.

A company won't do business that loses money.

After they eliminated Li Wei, as expected, those indestructible guys didn't reappear, which relieved everyone.

.........

At the fire-lighting sacrificial site, Li Wei got up and started distributing local specialties to everyone, tidying up this dark, damp, and gloomy place.

This trip was a great success! But since I've been gone for so long, I naturally have to give gifts to boost his favorability.

"Someone, take this solar panel out and connect it to the electric oven's power cord. Install several more of them."

They gave the dwarf on the throne a game console so he'd have something to do while he burned.

They gave the blacksmith a bunch of different kinds of synthetic steel and told him to study them slowly and play with them.

Give the old maid two human hearts, lest she die suddenly.

Then he went up to the Fire Keeper and stuffed something into her hands. What is the Fire Keeper? She's his wife.

You should give your wife the best, even though it's a relationship that Li Wei unilaterally acquiesces to.

The Fire Keeper stood silently not far from the campfire, and called out as Li Wei approached.

"Lord Ashes."

As the Fire Keeper was carrying her luggage, Li Wei pulled out an MP3 player and shoved it into her hand.

Then, shamelessly, he reached out and took her hand, leading her towards the stairs.

Her hand wasn't shaken off, nor did she refuse Li Wei's grasp, which made Li Wei feel incredibly happy. Although he couldn't suppress his smile, he still explained as he walked steadily.

"The world I went out into this time was very interesting, there were a lot of interesting things. This thing can play music, let me teach you how to use it."

I led the firefighter to sit down at the bottom of the stairs and shamelessly put the headphones on her myself.

Li Wei is also discerning; when giving a gift to a gentle and intellectual older sister, he naturally wouldn't choose something as exciting as a DJ, but rather a soothing piece of light music.

Although Li Wei felt he wouldn't refuse any Fire Keeper gift he received, this was a process of nurturing a wife, and he couldn't let his wife go astray!

"Thank you, Lord Ash, the music is very beautiful."

"Don't say thank you. Don't you think it's too formal? We'll be living together for a long time, and if we keep thanking each other, it'll just go on forever."

This direct question made the Firefighter turn her face away and not reply.

Wood, who was sitting at the top of the stairs, leaning against a pillar, coughed twice to remind others that there were still people around.

"Li, calm down, you're really pushing your luck."

Li Wei, with dead fish eyes, looked up at this spoilsport.

"Hey, isn't this Brother Wood? Finally, someone's here."

Wood stood up, dusted himself off, and greeted them.

"Stop talking nonsense, come out with me, I need to talk to you."

"Go away my ass! Can't you see I'm busy?" He gave the guy a quick glance and then ignored the single guy in front of him.

You think you can stop me from finding a partner? No way!

Having spent so much time in Night City, a place known for its openness, Levi's hormones were off the charts.

But as a pure love enthusiast, I can't get involved with ordinary people who don't live long and I can't get along with them, and I also refuse to touch technical workers who have been with countless people.

So the Fire Keeper was on Livy's hunting list, and the only one there.

He turned around and took out another ring, took the Fire Keeper's hand and was about to put it on her finger, while pretending to be innocent and saying...

"I found a beautiful ring somewhere, it looks perfect for you, let me put it on you."

Wood couldn't stand it any longer and took two steps forward to grab the guy who was blinded by beauty.

They dragged themselves uphill.

"Seeing that she can't refuse, you've lost all sense of shame, haven't you? You've already taken out the ring, don't be silly, come with me right now."

"It's not easy to pick up girls," Levi sighed, as Wood dragged him to the top floor of the sacrificial site.

Standing in front of a small iron gate, Wood reached out his hand to Levi.

"Do you have any humanity? Give me two. You've been gone too long this time. The people I brought have turned into zombies and are locked up here again."

He took out two pills and handed them over, asking curiously, "Who is this?"

Wood unlocked the iron gate with the key, took the greatsword from his back, and turned to Levi.

"Do you think you'll know him just because I told you? Wait here, I'll go settle things with him and then I'll introduce you to him when we come out together."

After saying that, he took a deep breath and rushed in with a solemn expression.

This piqued Li Wei's curiosity. Ignoring Wood's warning, he peeked out the door and saw a blue soul gun, thicker than a person, shooting towards his face.

"Fuck!"

When Li Wei woke up again, he was already lying in front of the campfire. He rubbed his face, which had been blasted flat by magic, and sat up as he heard an old man's voice.

"I'm sorry, Ash, I was already insane back then."

Looking back, he saw an old man with a huge hat and a white beard, smiling and looking him up and down.

Li Wei recognized this old man; he was the Crystal Elder, the mage from the Undead Legion.

The boss guarding the path of living sacrifices.

Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure, let alone an old man like Gandalf. That's right, don't think of him as just a simple mage who can teleport and slap you with magic. In the game, it's not the first or second time that I've been killed by him when I got close.

"In reality, this kind of old man would be even more ruthless," Li Wei immediately said.

"No, it was just my own curiosity that got the better of me. So, may I ask who you are?"

The old man spoke with a smile.

"Just an old mage, but if you want to recruit mages to join your team, just let me know. However, you still need to be humane, and there's a monthly consumption of one."

I brought my apprentices with me, but they're all in coffins.

Li Wei is now a tycoon, not short of money, so he naturally has to arrange a professional mage team, and has recruited all of the Crystal Elder's apprentices.

They even considered recruiting the old man as well, but he refused because he was going to the Royal Library to find his brother. He touched ten human hearts at Li Wei's place and then left.

Levi learned from Wood that humanity had no effect on the undead squad infected by the Abyss, but Wood also received a mission from their captain.

It would be even better to rebuild the new Undead Legion and bring in Livy, this special Ashen One.

Would Li Wei refuse to join a street dance team, something so unpleasant? Of course not.

I gave myself 30 stat points from the Fire Keeper, had a blacksmith forge a greatsword and matching dagger, and made an appointment with Wood to meet me at the entrance of the Firelink Shrine, bringing my own cement.
