Chapter 554: Seafood Curse
The more spells collected, the more perfect the spell framework Owen constructed, the higher the upper limit of what could be accommodated, and soon entered a virtuous cycle, creating multiple new zero-ring spells one after another.
But except for the Bubble Head spell, Owen didn’t take any of them outwardly, even if he knew full well that taking them out would be exchanged for a great deal of knowledge and wealth.
He just wasn’t smart, it didn’t mean he was stupid, and he had never underestimated the side of humanity that belonged to evil.
Being half a step ahead of your peers would inspire them to forge ahead and catch up.
Being one step ahead of your peers stirs up jealousy and trips them up.
A few steps ahead of the peers, will provoke the killing heart of the peers, backstabbing.
This is the reality, even if the law is sound in the previous world can not put an end to this kind of thing, not to mention the current world where the big fist is the reason.
Therefore but whenever Owen dared to expose these, the place where he lived would be razed to the ground by a fireball that night, and as for what would happen to him, he would either be raised in ashes on the spot, or arrested this way and that way, with the sole purpose of seizing his secrets, as the abilities he had shown were beyond the comprehension of the common man.
Owen did not dare to test human nature, so he has to show some ordinary, can be excellent, but not so excellent that people treat you as an alien.
Even if it’s just a bubble head spell, because it captures the moment, it still brings Owen amazing wealth and attracts some unsuspecting people.
“Raise your hands, as naturally as you can, and make a fist.” Owen was helping Paris install a prosthetic limb, but because of the limitations of the materials and equipment, he borrowed the magic image technique, which was to remove one of the arm armor of the knight’s plate armor to attach it.
Because of the lack of neural connection technology, it resulted in Paris’ control of the prosthetic limb not being smooth, so Owen had to attach an additional helmet, borrowing the mental sensing ability of the Kekkei spell, so that he could use the prosthetic limb more freely.
After seeing that the steel prosthetic limb was first sluggish and then became quick to make corresponding movements, Owen nodded with satisfaction.
“It’s ready, remember to maintain and apply oil, in order to make the prosthetic limb become flexible, I will remodel the joints to be more complex, once it rusts it will be very troublesome, in addition the weaponry also familiarize yourself with it as soon as possible.” Owen put away the tools and then said to Paris who carefully caressed the steel prosthetic limb.
“Sworn to guard master.” Paris stood up and took the round steel shield aside in his hands, his eyes said firmly, he had already lost his honor once, this time, even death could not break through his guard.
Owen was a little unsure whether to tell the other man that he had actually charged up, the resurrection coins alone were in the double digits.
However, looking at the other party’s determined look, he decided it was better not to tell the other party.
In fact, it wasn’t that there wasn’t a better commodity than Paris in the slave market in the first place, it was just that he was very much in line with one of Owen’s ideas, Captain Winter.
Lacking an arm and being good at shields definitely provided Owen with a lot of inspiration and fun.
As for the cat-eared maid, he had also figured out the other side’s problem during this time.
The cat-eared maid wasn’t simply a wild awakening, but became a surrogate for a certain goddess, and because night was the other party’s domain, she would become abnormally hyperactive once night came.
If Owen wasn’t wrong, the other party was the Goddess of Cats.
Since connecting to the Divine Network, Owen had been constantly gathering information on the many gods and goddesses. Because of their beliefs, the intelligence of the gods and goddesses was nearly public, even the secretive gods and goddesses and the like had information circulating, or else they would be completely forgotten, and the gods and goddesses would lose their interference in the material realm.
In addition to those powerful deities, weak deities were also in Owen’s intelligence collection, so he recognized the other party’s identity.
The existence of the Goddess of Cats was not a short time, she was the hunter of the night, the nemesis of rats, the guardian of grain silos, and her belief in the folklore was not a small amount, after all, rats were always the biggest headache for any grain silo.
If left unchecked, with the reproduction ability of rats, it is only a matter of time before a granary is empty, not to mention that stealing food is only one aspect, spreading bubonic plague is the big problem, so it does not matter whether it is the city’s granary, or the farmer’s barn, raising cats is one of the most important things.
Over time, the belief in the Goddess of Cats emerged.
But because it is a foreign god, coupled with the special nature of the priesthood, resulting in this deity in addition to the cat ear tribe, the rest are mostly pan-faithful, that is, there is something to worship a little, nothing to worship the kind of Gollum.
There are quite a number of similar gods and goddesses, and there is even no lack of completely forgotten ones. At that time, these exalted gods and goddesses will be thrown into the void by dimensional rejection like wretches because they lost their anchoring point, and when their godly power is exhausted, they will fall into eternal slumber in the void until they turn into godly skeletons.
In fact, gods and goddesses were not as lofty as one would imagine, especially the lower gods who did not hold authority, most of them were confined to a certain realm, so their risk resistance was very low, and once they lost the majority of their believers or the realm was destroyed, what awaited them was by no means a good end.
Therefore, in order to prevent being completely forgotten, the gods and goddesses would regularly select surrogates to walk the earth in their place, spreading their god’s name and teachings, that is, advertising.
If they had the spare capacity, they would go and open branches to spread their faith to other realms as a way to spread the risk.
However, this was not realistic for the weaker gods and goddesses, as it was difficult for a lower god’s perception range to cover the entire realm, let alone other realms, so there was no shortage of unlucky gods and goddesses who went to open a sub-base, only to come back and find that they had lost their lair.
Unless the authority is acquired by the Divine Network and spreads to many realms, since then the foundation is solid and no longer subject to many restrictions.
But this is not necessarily a good thing, if we compare the authority to a patent, when you can use it, of course, there is no problem, but once it is replaced, you can imagine what will happen.
In addition, even if the patent is good, it can’t replace the capital, not to mention the near monopoly of such a powerful capital, so don’t expect to be able to get much benefit from it.
Otherwise, with the number of realms covered by the Divine Web, it was hard for Owen to imagine how much faith would be gained every moment by deities like the Goddess of Fortune and the Goddess of Magic, whose beliefs were spread across many realms.
However, from Kim’s account of the Goddess of Wealth, Owen didn’t feel that kind of gap that would make even the gods and goddesses despair, which meant that these revenues didn’t all go to these two goddesses, but obviously the God’s Net took a cut, and it was quite a hard cut.
Although he could see that his own cat-eared maid was a surrogate for the Goddess of Cats, Owen did not do anything, but instead helped the other party to adapt to this power.
Owen made these preparations not only to be on guard against possible uninvited guests, but mainly because the situation in Fortune Bay was a bit bad right now, as a special kind of curse, the Seafood Curse, had appeared somewhere.
Damn it, Owen thought that the Joker Pirate King would bring the Maniacal Laughter Curse or something so that Fortune Bay could be renamed Gotham, but who would have thought that it would be a curse that turned land creatures into seafood.
