Chapter 75: Redeeming Sacred Objects

Chapter 75 Redeeming the Holy Relic
As a matter of fact the Goblin General did a good job, it was not careless about the relics, and sent a team of Goblin soldiers to station here at all times, so after the mutation, it was able to bring back most of the Goblin farmers who had been laboring here safely, but they also paid the price of total annihilation, as they were unable to retreat in time in the face of the monsters that swarmed over the area.

Fortunately, the mutation had only just begun, and the monsters, though numerous, were not as powerful, and with their instinctive unwillingness to leave the ruins, the kobold tribe was spared from the invasion.

Later on, the Goblin General had tried to take back the ruins, after all, it knew how much the Demon Lord valued the ruins.

But the two counter-attacks on the ruins were unsuccessful, instead, they lost a lot of money, coupled with the mutated Demon Horn Goblins suddenly turned against the water, so that the Goblin General had to put all his energy into this, but the situation inside the ruins it more or less understood some.

“Lord Demon King, these monsters have all increased in size after their mutation and have become more aggressive.” The Goblin General had personally led the team into the ruins twice, one time more dangerous than the other, and the last time he almost didn’t come back, so far his heart was still palpitating.

The originally harmless vinyl worms now became as thick as a thigh, able to swallow air like a pufferfish to become larger, and then the head and tail were connected to each other by controlling the flow of viscous body fluids in the body to roll like a wheel, and would get faster and faster, launching attacks on the enemy in the form of ramming.

But no matter how hard the vinyl worm tried, it was only a car-level inflatable tire, and it was obviously very difficult to be fatal by simply ramming.

In this way, it was reasonable to say that the threat level of the vinyl worms was not that high, but in the eyes of the Goblin General, the vinyl worms were the biggest threat in the ruins, because once you broke their tough outer skin, the viscous body fluids in their bodies that were in a high-pressure state would instantly vaporize and burn up violently.

If the sap of the Magic Horn Tree is oil, then the body fluid of the Black Gum Worm that feeds on the sticky sap of the roots of the Magic Horn Tree is the purified and concentrated fuel, so the power of the instantaneous explosion after vaporization is great, comparable to a small-sized thermobaric bomb.

If the Goblin General had not been cautious enough to let the Goblin soldiers explore in front of him, he would probably have been glued to the wall by now.

In comparison, although the changes of the Hard Skinned Rats and Thorn Spiders were also great, they were not as deadly as the Vinyl Worms.

“The hard-skinned rats are now able to walk upright, know how to communicate, and can use tools, and also gather in very large numbers, making them very difficult to deal with.”

“Thorn spiders have become quite huge in size, the thorns on their bodies are very sharp, and their armor is very sturdy, they can’t be blocked by charging unless heavy puppets are used, but their numbers are relatively small, and they mostly act alone.”

The Goblin General told Owen the information he had, causing his frown to grow tighter and tighter while changing his original plan.

Bringing troops to fight in is the most cerebral choice, not to mention the ratmen and thorn spiders, just the vinyl worms are a hurdle that can’t be overcome, after all, if a self-explosion comes down, no amount of people will be enough to fill it up.

Although Owen didn’t think he was too smart, he had too many choices, so there was no need to choose a hard fight, so he directly returned to the Goblin tribe to find a way.

The kobold general had prepared a palace for the Lord Demon King in the tribe a long time ago, it was a huge tree cave, the huge root system and hollow trunk created a space that could accommodate dozens of people inside.

Originally, most of the interior was filled with rubble and dirt, but after the kobold farmers cleaned it up and covered it with animal skins to retain only the most natural and primitive style, it had a unique flavor.

This is the kobold general according to the Lord Demon King’s preferences specially arranged, otherwise according to the tradition, it will use skulls and phosphorus fire as a decoration, and then use the iron cage full of sacrifices hung on the wall, waiting for the Lord Demon King to come, with the blood of the sacrifices, wailing and souls to welcome the Lord Demon King’s grand entrance.

However, the Goblin General did not think that the Demon King he was loyal to would like this, so he changed his style of behavior, after all, the Demon King’s preference is their code of conduct. The tree cave was a novelty, but Owen didn’t pay much attention to the living environment.

There were Teutonic warriors outside, ninjas in the shadows, and Char who was on close guard to protect him well, so Owen could now safely think about what exactly he would do with the thirty progress points, as his next plan would require the use of a lot of progress points, and he could not afford to waste any more time, and there was no time left for him to continue to hesitate.

In fact, the reason why Owen hesitated was because he was faced with too many choices, quite a few things looked at him and drooled, it was really difficult to make a decision.

Finally clenching his teeth, Owen decided with great difficulty to redeem the target, which was the seemingly mediocre Holy Relic.

Sacred relics originated from the Imperial Era and served to be able to enhance the characteristics of buildings and increase the amount of gold.

These effects seemed ordinary in the game, but in Owen’s opinion, they were not simple, plus the fact that most of the territory’s current buildings and troop types came from the Imperial Era, so he made up his mind to exchange for a holy relic to see if it could have any chemical reaction.

Even if it fails, it’s fine, it’s just a matter of waiting a little longer, he can afford to wait.

On the contrary, if he succeeded in provoking a chemical reaction, it was obvious that he would make a lot of money.

In the game, the holy relic was a box, no one knew what was inside, after redeeming it Owen realized that the box was just a carrier, and the essence of the holy relic was actually the divine power that could create miracles.

Sacred power is above ordinary energy, to be more materialistic.

In other words, it was capable of distorting reality at will, hence it was called a miracle.

With Owen’s current ability he couldn’t understand it at all, and he didn’t even know where the miracle’s specific role and upper limit were, but he knew that his choice to take a risk wasn’t wrong.

Moreover, after being exchanged into reality, the holy relic had an additional characteristic, which was faith.

Now Owen could choose to incorporate the holy relic into a building to improve its characteristics or shape an idol to use to collect faith, but after careful consideration, Owen chose to incorporate the redeemed holy relic into the Heart of the Brave and use it to transform and enhance that armor.

The main reason for doing so was because Owen couldn’t figure out the current situation of the relics, with the sanctuary of the holy relics, he could more or less have some peace of mind, besides, even if it was wasted, it was just waiting for a while longer to accumulate the progress value, he could afford to wait.

After making the decision, a ray of golden light silently integrated into Owen’s necklace, and after waiting for a while with no movement, he unfolded the armor hidden in the necklace, and only then did he find something extraordinary.

After obtaining the sacred support, the armor is optimized and increased, at the same time more purification, shelter and other characteristics, so don’t look at Owen is a weak scum, but after wearing armor, he is the first master of the territory, cut whoever dies, no one can beat the kind, the most important thing is that as long as the solution to the problem of beliefs, this set of armor in the sacred power of the support will be more and more strong, and ultimately create a miracle.
