I am God! Main text volume Chapter 523: The Witch of the Stars? Under the wasteland.
It is not far from the Frozen Plateau and the Fire Demon Swamp, it is considered the border area between the three, and it is not known when a bustling city was established here.
There is a moat outside the city, and the powerful people in the city lead water from the ice field, open up fields, and form several villages outside the city.
"The canals in this area haven't been reclaimed, okay? If you don't complete the task, you won't be paid." The person responsible for making the waterwheel and the person responsible for reclaiming the canal seem to be two groups of people, and one is urging the other at the moment.
"I promise it will be completed on time. Can I fool you, and the adults in Zhan Planet and the inner city?" the man who opened the canal shouted.
"Look, the caravan is back." There was a sudden movement in the distance, and only a caravan came back from afar.
"I don't know how the income is this time, how many gold coins I made on the trip." People gathered around expectantly, whispering.
It seems strange that these ordinary residents are also concerned about the income of the caravan. Although many of the items sold by the caravan are produced by them, usually the money earned by the caravan is not distributed to them.
It is even more unreasonable for such a city to suddenly appear in such a remote place.
This is the holy place and headquarters of the Starlight Ascetic Order, and its name is Astrology City.
Since many years ago, the leader of the Starlight Ascetic Order received the gift of the giant god through the Son of the Death Star, more and more people gathered here, under the astrology tower.
The city is divided into an inner city and an outer city, and ordinary people live in the outer city. Only those who have dedicated their lives to the death star can enter the inner city and enter that magnificent astrology tower.
They swear an oath.
?Do not marry a wife, do not enjoy life, be willing to be poor, and obey the precepts.
What is implemented in this city is a system that looks very strange to outsiders. There are no real managers in the city, and there are no nobles, civilians, and slaves.
The Astrology Tower will promulgate precepts and laws, and then regularly distribute tasks. And it is said that the task was dispatched by a magical prop called Occupation Planet.
It will reasonably assign various tasks to everyone in the city through calculation and divination.
As long as you become a resident of this city, ordinary people can get tasks such as farming, patrolling, and transporting. Those with certain skills can become craftsmen and get tasks such as guarding stores and caravan members.
Then the astrology towers in the inner city will send personnel in turn to check the completion of the task, and finally give back to the astrology planet.
In the city of astrology.
Only those who abide by the precepts can live in the city.
And only those who complete the task can get food and rewards. Everyone gets paid according to the task, and most of the income generated by the tasks they complete will become the task reward for the next month, and part of it will be used to maintain the operation of the city, and so on.
Such a peculiar mode of operation has actually made the city more prosperous day after day.
As a result, it has attracted a large number of people over the years.
"There's a convoy again." Just after the excitement of the return of the caravan in the city, the people who calmed down saw another convoy coming from afar. "Didn't the people from the caravan just come back?" People were surprised. "Could it be someone who fled here?" Someone speculated.
"It doesn't look like it!" Looking at the other team's carts, everyone is wearing gorgeous robes, even the underwear and collars are snow-white, obviously made of silk spun out by the descendants of spirit insects. Cut and sewn.
The visitors were not caravans, nor did they come to do business with Astrology City.
At least, it's not an ordinary business.
The convoy came from a well-known faction on the giant Ruhe Island, and it came because of the gravity stone in the city of astrology.
The ascetic monks from the inner city also came outside to personally greet these great figures from afar.
A man at the head of the convoy was wearing a large cloak with a symbol representing a temple of a certain god printed on it. He just got off the carriage and looked up into the distance.
"That is?"
On the mountain behind the city of astrology, a temple that looks like a trumpet is built.
that is a
A very magnificent building, with no gaps in the thick walls, completely cast with extraordinary strength.
It is completely different from ordinary temples, it feels that there are no decorations and details, and otherThe gravity stone itself is composed of a part of the power of the demigod of life power, and the astrology makes himself a kind of wisdom. He can borrow the power of life power in the form of props, but he cannot directly integrate it into his body.
He didn't know that when the power of wisdom and life merged into one in his body, it would evolve into a terrifying force of distortion. This force will form a radiation similar to spiritual power, radiating his life power to the surroundings, modifying everyone's life form, assimilating and distorting towards himself.
The astrologer fused the gravity stone, and wanted to use this power to kill the abyss evildoers and reverse the situation.
However, he didn't expect that while turning himself into a monster, he would also turn everyone in the city of Astrology into stones.
The living statue walked towards the mountain, as if expecting something. But when he arrived, he looked down and found that those people in the temple had also turned into statues with him as early as the moment he turned into a monster.
It's just that he was completely controlled by power at that time, so he didn't notice it at all. "Can you talk?"
The voice echoed between heaven and earth, but no one answered the living statue. Living statues approached these figurines, sensing something.
Perhaps it was because these people were all powerful, he suddenly discovered some special places.
These people are not actually dead.
They are not real statues, but have become statue-like monsters like it.
They were forever sealed in this strange body, and there was no way for them to belong to the fantasy star sea.
But in this way, it made the living statue more painful.
"how so?"
"Is this what I did?"
Circle after circle of light emanated from the body of the living statue, and he left halfway up the mountain in disbelief.
But he was reluctant to leave.
In this way, he went back and forth between the temple and the city over and over again. Gradually, the consciousness that he had just woken up became distorted and crazy again.
His walking speed became slower and slower, and his body seemed to have really ossified into a stone.
Amidst the distortion and madness, his consciousness became weaker and weaker, as if the wisdom in his heart was suppressed by some powerful force.
Maybe it won't be long.
Perhaps all he had left was madness and instinct, or had he turned into a real stone statue?
The living statue was not reconciled, and even more at a loss.
"what is this?"
"
Why are all people turned to stone? "
"Why is my consciousness weakening?"
At this time, there was movement in the ruined and dead city.
A little girl walks alone through the broken streets, looking at the empty and dead city, holding a box of pastries that the deputy gave her when she was watching her.
In the midst of this terrible massacre and the more terrible disasters that followed.
She survived again.
Suddenly, the living statue reappeared.
It stood by the city wall, its body blocked the sky, and its shadow covered half of the city.
In the wind, the young snake girl looked up at the huge living statue.
The living statue bent down stiffly, looking at each other carefully.
