âWe found the corpse of a Saint Angel in the battlefield of a Darkness invasion that happened a thousand years ago. It happened that I was responsible for transferring it to the Light Temple. However, on our back way, the remaining force of the Dark Legion learnt about it and wanted to take away the corpse of the Saint Angel so that they could transform it into their strong fighting power with undead magic.â
âA combat broke out then. The remaining force of the Dark Legion was strong and destroyed my Paladin Order very soon. At the crucial juncture, I couldnât help but to use the banned Alchemy. However, at the moment, something unexpected happened. That was, the dead Saint Angel reacted to the Alchemy! Just like a puppet that came to itself temporarily, it wiped out most of the remaining force of the Dark Legion and the rest of them just escaped in a flurry.â
Speaking of that, the Traitor Ni Wu gave a look in confusion, terror and thrill.
Having heard it, Xiao Feng was surprised and had a wild guess, âYou mean that the Saint Angel was actually an Alchemy Puppet? Thatâs why you said the God of Light might be fake?â
âI am not sure. After all, I am not adept enough at the Alchemy. Maybe the Saint Angel was not completely dead. You know, the Saint Power is more profound than the Light Magic and Undead Magic. And the resurrection power is what makes the Saint Power strong.â
âThe Dark Legionâs remaining force fled and the news that I learnt the Alchemy got spread too. Hence, I could only run away while studying the corpse of the Saint Angel. The Dark Legion also found me then and I was informed that I became a traitor of the Light Temple. I had nowhere to go and had to work with them. I promised them that I would give the corpse of the Saint Angel to them after my study was finished.â
âHowever, the Light Temple came too fast and the hunters were very powerful. We had to retreat and sealed the corpse of the Saint Angel at the bottom of a lake in the deep forest with enchantment. Nevertheless, I couldnât get away in the end and almost died by the hunters. Afterwards, I ran into the land of exile and hid here.â
The Traitor Ni Wu finished his story and Xiao Feng also understood what happened before. The angel clay statue under the Muguang Lake was attributed to them. And it was fair enough to say that he sided with the Dark Legion.
He thought for a while and suddenly took out the key to the seal (left) of his bag and asked the Traitor Ni Wu, âDo you know what it is?â
âOh? Isnât it the key to unleash the enchantment? And it was mine. Why do you have it?â
The Traitor Ni Wu gave an amazing look and his dirty hands kept searching on himself.
âDonât search around on your body. The born-again paladin outside dropped it.â Xiao Feng said impatiently.
âI didnât know I lost it. Forget it. After all, I could not leave here. The key is useless to me. Maybe the paladin leader picked it when I was being hunted. Hey. You didnât know that one of the guardians outside was the paladin leader and the other one was the bishop. They looked down upon me and came to the land of exile, who were killed by me instead. And I resurrected them with my little Undead Magic and made them my guardians.â
The Traitor Ni Wu shook his head and said proudly. His Undead Magic was learned when he worked with the Dark Legion. After all, he was an enthusiast about magic. There was no magic that he didnât dare to learn.
âWhat about the other half of the key?â
Xiao Feng instantly asked. He came to the Novice Village to collect all the keys to the seal.
âThe other one should be with the Lich Kerr Sue. When we retreated, we all worried that either of us might break the promise and steal the corpse of the Saint Angel. Therefore, we split the key into two halves. Each of us has one.â The Traitor Ni Wu said after thinking for a while.
âThe Lich?â Xiao Feng was a bit surprised. Why was it again?
Xiao Feng had dealt with the lich for several times. Whether in the Muguang Forest or in the City of Gloom, he saw it in the grand underground grave. Its full name was the Lich Kerr Sue.
So the angel clay statue was related with it too. No wonder it would make such a big noise in the Muguang Forest before. Needless to say, the Transformation Array torn down by Xiao Feng must be used by the Lich Kerr Sue to transfer the corpse of the Saint Angel.
âDo you know where the lich is?â Xiao Feng hastened to ask.
âI havenât been away here for tens of years. How do I know it? But it should go to the grand underground grave, for there is a corpse with strong power in that place, which is also its goal. It is a pity that the corpse is owned by someone. We sealed the corpse with joint effort and the key can also open the enchantment.â The Traitor Ni Wu thought it over and said. Then he became slightly impatient, âAre you done or not? If you are done asking, just get lost. No more bothering me. Youâve ruined so many materials of mine. And I havenât asked you to make it up to me. Do you know how hard it is to gain the materials for Alchemy in this place?â
Xiao Feng saw that the Traitor Ni Wu started to repair the Alchemy Puppet No. 3 and looked so sorrowful. Ni Wu must be short of materials since he had been hiding here all the time. No wonder he just surrendered after a few of his shelves were knocked down.
Yet, something suddenly occurred to Xiao Feng. He searched about in his bag and said, âI have some materials that are useless to me. Do you want them?â
âWhat? You have materials? Iron ore or copper ore? Give them to me!â Indeed, the Traitor Ni Wu hurried to approach Xiao Feng after hearing that.
Xiao Feng had quite some materials. While he was gaining the proficiency level of the forging skill, he obtained a lot of iron pieces after he failed the forging practices. He had accumulated tens of thousands of iron pieces by now, which had exceeded the upper limit of Xiao Fengâs load capacity. He just neglected that with the artifact effect of the Dragon Suit.
âBoom!â
Then Xiao Feng threw the thousands of the iron pieces out. With a huge sound, as if the rock cave was shaken, an iron mountain showed up in front of Xiao Feng and the Traitor Ni Wu. It was even taller than Xiao Feng!
âAh! So many precious materials! So many⦠Oh my! I have never been so happy for a long time. Oh my god!â
The Traitor Ni Wu was surprised at first and then looked at the mountain of the iron piece in front of him as if catching sight of a big meal after starving for tens of years. He burst out crying with excitement.
âThese⦠These precious materials⦠Can I have them?â Then the Traitor Ni Wu stared at Xiao Feng carefully and pitifully.
âYou can have them all.â
Xiao Feng couldnât stand him. These useless materials were worth only a few golden coins if they were sold in the system store but they were regarded as treasure by Ni Wu. It was thinkable how barren this place was. He hastened to wave his hand and said.
âOh my! Iâve wronged you! I apologize to you for what I have done! You are the angel to save me sent by gods! No! Devils! Oh no! Anyway, I like you so much!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The Traitor Ni Wu immediately put away the iron pieces excitedly and then apologized to Xiao Feng sincerely. He looked like rushing forward to hug Xiao Feng and kiss him, which scared Xiao Feng so much that he hastened to retreat. Xiao Feng didnât want to be touched by this dirty ape.
âDing! The Traitor Ni Wuâs satisfaction point about you has been increased by 50! Now his satisfaction level is Friendly!â
Meanwhile, Xiao Feng heard a systematic notification. The health bar color of the Traitor Ni Wu changed from red to the neutral yellow, which made Xiao Feng quite speechless again. He didnât see this coming.
âWait a minute. Did you make the potion?â
Xiao Feng stopped the Traitor Ni Wu from rushing toward himself and asked him with the Power Potion.
âYes! It is only an ordinary alchemy potion. I can make it easily with adequate materials. A more advanced one is okay too. It is a pity that you are not a mage. Otherwise, I can teach you the Alchemy.â The Traitor Ni Wu hastened to say. Now he behaved differently and acted like he would tell everything he knows.
âThen what material do you need? Iâll collect for you.â
The rare potion that enhanced the property was absolutely valuable. Xiao Feng didnât want to let go of this output point.
âThe required materials are simple to get, but you cannot return here if you go out.â The Traitor Ni Wu said hesitantly and then looked at Xiao Feng unwillingly.
âWhy canât I come back? How come?â Xiao Feng asked confusedly.
âThis place is created by me with the Alchemy skill to hide away from the terrifying person of the Light Temple. I donât know how you get in here, but you cannot return after you go out.â The Traitor Ni Wu said fearfully.
âThe terrifying person of the Light Temple?â Xiao Feng said confusedly.
âThe Goddess of Light. She can break into the land of exile, though she will be weakened as a punishment due to the rule of Creators. Yet, despite her capability being weakened, she can still kill me easily. Therefore, I can only hide in here to conceal my Qi with the Alchemy skill. I donât dare to go out. Likewise, others cannot come in.â The Traitor Ni Wu still felt frightened upon recalling that.
He still remembered the Goddess of Light. She was so terrifying. She insisted on hunting him down even if she was downgraded to level 10. If it were not for the prominent effect of the Alchemy skill, he would be dead then.
âI feel the same wayâ¦â The Traitor Ni Wuâs words aroused a responsive chord in the heart of Xiao Feng. Xiao Feng also experienced the horror of the Goddess of Light, who claimed that she would make Xiao Feng delete his account in the Novice Village.
