My Liver Experience in the World of Cthulhu

Chapter 224 New Parish

Fanny and Nick commanded the troops to clean the battlefield, treat the wounded, and rearrange defenses.

Kroon walked on the battlefield, trying to find the smell of the deer-headed spirit, but these creatures living in the gray fog all had a faint fishy smell of gray fog.

The smell of the wolf was too strong, and he couldn't distinguish the smell of the deer's head essence, so he had no choice but to give up.

He summoned Fu Jin and asked through spiritual communication: 'If you fly into the gray fog, how far can you see? '

Fokine responded: 'From the edge of the camp to the fire. '

The crow's field of vision range is about ten meters, and it is difficult to detect the deer-headed spirit at this distance.

After a while, Fanny and the two came over and said, "I have notified the patrol to strengthen the night watch. Let's go back and rest."

The deer-headed spirit's substitution spell does not always take effect, it has a certain cooling time, and there will be a period of weakness for several days after using the spell.

After killing the deer-headed spirit once, you can let it calm down for a few days.

Wild wolves came to harass them from time to time at night, but they were easily repelled by the vigilant troops.

The next day, when the sun had just risen, Crown ordered Fulgin to fly out of the camp and scout the surrounding area to see if there were any clues about the presence of the deer-headed spirit.

The deer-headed spirit would hide during the day. No one knew where this monster would be hidden, and he was just in case.

Half an hour later, the crow flew back and found no trace of the enemy.

After packing up, the troops set off again and arrived near the Hamers Mine before noon.

Craftsmen released flying strange objects to survey the terrain and select suitable places to build shelters.

It took two days of busy work to complete the survey of the nearby terrain.

Croun and others finally selected a place with a cliff behind them to build a shelter here without having to worry about the defense issues on the back.

This place is three or four kilometers away from the main cave of the mine. There are a lot of usable rocks. When the shelter slowly expands, the mine can also be included.

After determining the address, the soldiers began to build a semi-fixed camp.

Craftsmen cleared weeds and trees in the target area, then leveled the land and built a simple parking platform.

Before departure, the troops had made an appointment with the church to receive the first batch of supplies ten days later.

. . . .

Three months later, it was autumn.

With the support of sufficient manpower and material resources, the construction of the seven sanctuaries in the Sanctuary was completed, and the installation of the protective circle was also completed.

There are one large sanctuary and six small ones, arranged in a semicircle, with the large sanctuary located in the center of the circle.

On top of the sanctuary, churches were built.

A nine-meter-high and four-meter-wide wall was built around the sanctuary.

The city wall of this height can defend against most wild beasts, and only those mutated beasts that have reached the third level can jump up.

At the beginning of the construction of the sanctuary, the deer-headed spirit would often sneak attacks at night, killing and injuring many soldiers. The situation only improved after the city wall was built.

Most of the craftsmen's energy was focused on the construction of the sanctuary, the laying of the magic circle, and the construction of the city wall. In addition to the church, the new parish only had more than 20 scattered buildings, and most people still lived in wooden houses.

Crown didn't have many tasks during this period. He spent his free time practicing breathing techniques and visualizing the Golden Light Spell, and gained a lot.

[Fire Breath: 7986/12000; Level ]

[Golden Light Spell: 38158/100000; Level ]

[Animal Taming: 10576/12000; Level ]

Now that the Molten Fire potion is taken, the increase in flame breath proficiency will inevitably slow down. One potion can only increase the proficiency by more than 60 points.

The proficiency of the Giant Bear Breathing Technique and the Rock Breathing Technique has also improved greatly with the progress of the Fire Breathing Technique.

The increase in proficiency in the Golden Light Spell has not slowed down, but no new skills have appeared, but Croun has figured out some new tricks himself.

He can now extend the golden light of his body protection onto objects. For example, he can cover a weapon with golden light, which can enhance the weapon's attack power and increase its hardness.

At present, he can gather more golden light somewhere on his body at any time to resist attacks that far exceed the upper limit of defense in normal state.

Croun has figured out the defensive properties of the golden light body. It is not to absorb damage like source armor, but to isolate damage.

When the Source Armor is attacked, although it cannot harm himself, some of the power will be transmitted to him, and he will still feel pain.

But as long as the golden light protection was not broken, he would not feel anything strange.

If there is enough Sun Flame Liquid, he is now confident that he can give it a try with the Archbishop.

Now the level of the Golden Light Spell is improving day by day, and the materials obtained during visualization are much more than at the beginning. He has now refined more than fifty drops of Sun Essence and Moon Essence each.

The Taiyin Thunder Seal has been warmed and nurtured, and its divine light is now more and more brilliant. Even if it is placed under the scorching sun, it cannot cover up the light of the Talisman Seal. However, the other jade talisman with impurities could no longer lock the spiritual power of the talisman and its effect began to decrease. He planned to use it sometime to test the attack effect of the real Taiyin Thunder Seal.

As expected, the proficiency of animal taming increases the fastest among all advanced skills.

It was unintentional. He had not practiced this skill deliberately at all. He just summoned his pet to stay by his side while visualizing the golden light spell, but he had such a harvest.

. . . .

After lunch, several bishops of the new diocese discussed matters in the conference hall of the central church.

Fanny said: “The basic framework of the parish has been set up, and the next construction task is to build civil buildings.

You can immigrate here next year and build a small castle on the original site of the mine. "

There is an open-pit coal mine near the Hamers Mine that can directly smelt metal.

When the miners evacuated at the beginning of the year, they left behind a lot of heavy machinery that was inconvenient to transport. These mechanical beasts cannot be destroyed and can be used again after simple repairs.

Nick said: "The castle in the mine must build a church, and at least provide a purification circle for the guards and miners."

Fanny nodded: "This is necessary, and the church's sanctuary will definitely be built first.

There is only more than a month left before winter, and the weather is getting colder. It is no longer suitable to break ground. The construction of the mine castle will be postponed until later in the year.

Now let's discuss how to kill the deer-headed spirit. This monster is still lingering. Yesterday, even the night watchman was sucked away by it using vines to suck all the life force. "

Things were a bit difficult to handle. With the strength of several of their bishops, the deer-headed spirit was no match. However, the monster had a surrogate death spell. It was impossible to determine the location of the animal that released the black magic curse, and it was impossible to kill it completely.

The deer-headed spirit only appears at night, and the cover of gray fog makes it even more difficult to kill it.

Moreover, this monster has become much cunning now, and there is no chance to hunt it down.

Like the guerrillas, it shoots and moves to another location. No one knows that it will reappear in a few days after the attack, so it can only defend passively.

Nick shook his head and sighed: "If I want to kill the deer-headed spirit, I think I must find its hiding place during the day, but where this kind of thing is during the day is a mystery. There is no deer-headed spirit in the church's classics. Too many records.”

Crown was thinking about the possibility of hunting the deer-headed spirit alone. He once asked Fujin and learned that the crow could maintain its vision even in the gray fog.

Later, he personally conducted experiments and found that he could maintain a field of vision of about twenty meters in a gray fog with no light source.

He does not need to use special oil lamps or other equipment, his eyes can penetrate the gray fog, which is his confidence in hunting the deer-headed spirit.

He considered it carefully for a while and then gave up the idea. It was a waste of time.

Nick suggested another method:

"I think we can change our thinking. We send troops to hunt as many beasts as possible in the new parish during the day. After a period of hunting, this land will become a restricted area for ordinary mutant beasts.

In this case, if the deer-headed spirit is found again at night, the three of us can lead a large number of troops to search the nearby area. At this time, all creatures are potential targets. "

There is a drawback to doing this, that is, troops must be mentally prepared to withstand certain casualties.

Ordinary people and low-level extraordinary beings are simply no match for the deer-headed spirit. This method involves taking human lives to make up for the loss, and may also cost the wife and soldiers, which is a bit risky.

Crowen asked: "Is there any way to mark the deer-headed spirit?"

If they can mark the target, they can try to find the deer-headed spirit's hiding place during the day.

Fanny shook her head: "Deer-headed spirits are very sensitive to smells that do not belong to them, and they will erase any non-original smell or spirit.

Let's implement Nick's method first. The beast's lair outside will be cleared sooner or later. "

. . . .

Lisa Smit closed her eyes and rested on the airship flying to the Hammers Mine, thinking about how to have a good relationship with Crown.

After the new parish of the church was established, offices were prepared for the establishment of offices by the Brotherhood of Warlocks and the Town Hall.

Lisa actively campaigned to become the head of the Brotherhood's office in Hamers Parish.

The other warlocks have their own research projects and don't want to be distracted.

This time, she brought 30 control potions and 40 bear heart potions, which were chips she had accumulated in recent months for trading.

She herself also carefully investigated Crown's past, trying to find the opponent's weaknesses and then suit him.

Unfortunately, during her investigation, she found that the other party did not seem to have any special entertainment activities. He liked to stay at home after work and had few opportunities to go out.

Really unable to find a breakthrough point, Lisa seconded two spirit masters, namely Liya and Lorraine.

The acquaintance of these two people with Croun might play some role. She learned most of the information about Croun from the two of them.

Lorraine was both excited and anxious. What was exciting was that she was working with her idol, who had been packaged by the Brotherhood as a spiritual pillar in the mind of the spiritual master.

What makes her uneasy is that she doesn't know why the other party specifically chose her and Liya to do things, and she's afraid that she won't do well.

She felt the airship tilt downwards and knew she was about to reach her destination.
