Chapter 30 Dead Sea Scrolls
"Only pure faith can forge one's own domain!"
"Within your own domain, the great sun god Apollo will bestow upon you the Magic Crystal Armor! Protecting you from the harm of your enemies…!"
The incomplete pages in his mind began to activate, and Dongfang Qing's ethereal voice resonated in Euphemia's sea of consciousness.
A powerful light-attribute magic force spread rapidly, the sun high in the sky cast golden-gray light, and a huge magic circle with a radius of two kilometers immediately appeared on the ground.
Magic surged wildly along the earth's veins, and a pale golden light curtain shot up from the edge of the magic circle, enveloping the entire area under a flowing dome of light.
The black ratmen, who were still attacking indiscriminately all around, were quickly suppressed by this magic and unable to move.
After Euphemiah's wounds healed, the magic from the sun forged a suit of armor for him...
The gleaming gold armor clung tightly to his skin, and its unique magical circuits connected his wrists, ankles, and neck, perfectly matching the magical pathways within his body.
Xu Daming, who had just arrived nearby, was immediately stunned; he had heard the entire conversation.
—Another god has arrived!
...
"This is incredible, brothers! More than 10 years ago, one Poseidon was already tough enough, and now we have a Sun God!"
"Oh wow... I guess they're about to start harvesting faith. Under such a great catastrophe, a little trick will make faith skyrocket!"
"Damn, that's cool...! I'll take a screenshot! What's with that pattern on top? Never mind, I'll take a screenshot!"
"Impossible! That little girl said that gods cannot interfere in the mortal realm, and isn't this older woman the one who was catching rats earlier?..."
"The game designers don't want players to dominate! They're going to cultivate the native players instead!"
...
Looking at the vast expanse of the sky, and combining that with the speculations of the viewers in the live stream, Xu Daming was certain that it was a domain.
Although this is just speculation, and none of the top-ranked players have ever used similar skills.
However, he was convinced that if the natives could do it, then the players could too!
With a slight smile, Dongfang Qing crossed her arms and said, "To resolve this disaster, perhaps the only solution is to find the fragments of that book!"
"Perhaps there's a record of that kind of magic on one of those pages?"
"Then congratulations on crossing the threshold to become a Grand Magister..."
"I think… after shedding that useless arrogance, you should have a goal in life." Softening his tone, he turned his back and brought his mouth close to Euphemia's ear.
Feeling the new way the magic within him was operating, and sensing the armor on his body, Euphemia gazed at the sky, lost in deep thought for a long time.
—God really exists!
Although the fateful naval battle of that year was known throughout the continent, most proud elves believed it was nothing more than a lie fabricated by cunning humans…
But it was humanity that suddenly became stronger, it was humanity that discovered new continents, and it was humanity that challenged the unknown.
It is also humankind that attempts to prove the world is a perfectly round sphere—a ridiculous theory!
As he lay dying, he finally relinquished his pride and prayed to the gods! And the gods actually responded to his disrespectful behavior...?
"..."
"thump…"
After a long silence, he knelt down. After a fierce internal struggle, he kowtowed deeply to Dongfang Qing, and then began to slaughter the black ratmen within his territory with lightning speed.
Turning back with a smile, Dongfang Qing's gaze fell on Xu Daming, who was hiding behind the ruins.
"..."
Just one glance was enough to make Dongfang Qing lose his composure. In terms of appearance alone, he was completely different from the person he had been just over 10 days ago.
Although he doesn't possess healing magic, Xu Daming's wounds have almost healed as his magic power has increased, and his body has grown to 2.7 meters tall due to a second growth spurt.
He had already taken off all his clothes, except for the mismatched trousers he was wearing to cover his private parts.
White fur covered bulging muscles. The nearly two-meter-tall giant huddled in the corner of the abandoned house, peeking out to examine Euphemia.
What is particularly eye-catching is the strange chain around his neck.
"Damn it! This kid must have saved the world in his past life!" A low, mocking laugh escaped his Adam's apple as he pressed down on the singed tuft of hair on his head with one hand.
His facial hair was all burned off, which cleverly blended him into the surrounding ruins, but he was staring intently at Euphemia.
This caused Xu Daming to fail to notice Dongfang Qing staring at him. Only after being reminded by the comments did he turn around in fear and meet Dongfang Qing's gaze.
"Um...that..."
Seeing the awkward situation, Xu Daming could only scratch the back of his neck and chuckle foolishly as he slowly crawled out of the corner.
"..."
Dongfang Qing didn't say a word, but squinted and stretched out her hand, waving it at Xu Daming with great interest until the messy strands of hair brushed against the tip of his nose.
Before Xu Daming could react, Dongfang Qing had already teleported in front of him, creating a delicate situation.
A 1.72-meter-tall white-haired girl is standing in front of a 2.7-meter-tall cat-beastman, but fear is on the beastman's face!
"Glug..."
At first, Xu Daming was slightly aroused by the fragrance emanating from the girl in front of him, but after seeing their height difference, he felt a little awkward...
"bump--!"
Without any hesitation, Xu Daming chose to slide and kneel in front of Dongfang Qing, just like Ye Feng had done in the first instance. The immense force caused his knees to sink into the ground…
With his back hunched, he tried to bend his body lower than Dongfang Qing, but when he failed, he could only scratch his head and laugh sheepishly.
"Planning to fight for the orcs' independence? That's going to be tough." With her hands behind her back, Dongfang Qing stood on tiptoe and poked the chain around his neck.
Faced with the enticing aroma wafting towards him, Xu Daming closed his eyes tightly and turned his head away with difficulty.
"Yes, we orcs will never be slaves, I must fight a war of independence!" he said tremblingly, responding to Dongfang Qing with a resolute attitude.
"This must be the pinnacle of the dwarven craftsmen's work, the Mija?" As his fingertips lightly brushed against the deep black chains, a smile gradually appeared on Dongfang Qing's lips.
"This damn thing suppressed the original power of us orcs, otherwise I wouldn't be in this state!" Upon hearing this, Xu Daming, who was originally a little shy, immediately perked up.
"Snap..."
With a crisp sound, the dark black chain shattered into pieces in the fair palm, followed by an incredulous gaze.
"Um??"
Tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear and waved her hand dismissively: "It's nothing, just consider this a small gift to mark our two meetings in such a short time."
"This...!" Xu Daming was overjoyed at the sight and couldn't find any words to express his excitement.
For orcs, this thing is like a dog leash! Players are already having a hard time enjoying the game.
You'll be tied up by this thing right from the start, unless you're an M, of course.
Dongfang Qing stroked his chin with his fingertips, feigning a thoughtful expression, "As for the method to remove the 'Miracle Shackles' from your kind..."
"The Dead Sea Scrolls?" Before he could answer, Xu Daming spoke first, uttering a term he had heard not long ago.
A hint of appreciation appeared on Dongfang Qing's face, and the smile on his lips deepened: "Not bad! You're a bit smarter than the first person to try something new!"
"Your Majesty flatters me... I can't compare to Red Dog." Xu Daming quickly waved his hand and moved back a little embarrassedly.
So Magellan's voyages to prove the world is a perfect sphere were just a pretext; his real purpose was to search for fragments of the Dead Sea Scrolls on the high seas!?
For some reason, Xu Daming suddenly thought of this and wanted to ask the girl in front of him, but his intuition told him that this was the case!
Although as an orc, he was isolated from the world on the orc continent, and after finally being born, he was captured and enslaved, fortunately, Xu Daming was a player.
While the live stream was running, viewers could still provide him with some information, and the term "Dead Sea Scrolls" was first uttered by an elf.
The Dead Sea Scrolls are said to be the notes of the creator god and the source of all knowledge and power.
[But for some unknown reason, it disintegrated and collapsed; a few drifted to the mainland, while the majority floated to the ocean.]
This is the most useful information Xu Daming could obtain from the bullet comments.
