Chapter 418: Momentary Echo
Lightless forest.

The forest that had been violently destroyed began to grow back and became lush again in just a few minutes. The huge noise of the battle was inert here, and even in the fortresses at the end of both sides, only a few abnormalities could be vaguely found.

The surroundings became dark and quiet again.

Jiang He sat by the campfire roasting meat, occasionally rinsing his mouth with dragon blood wine. For him now, ordinary gold that once required a life-and-death struggle could now be obtained relatively easily.

The expertise in speed makes the combat advantage extremely obvious. The Changhen Dragon Spear consumes countless resources and has serious overflowing lethality, ensuring that the prey's defense can be broken in battle.

Lady Ash stepped forward to examine the headless corpse on the ground. As the essence of its blood had been drained away, the fallen golden body was extremely dry and looked horrifyingly miserable.

"The Saint Cagula, a line of sin magician from the Church of Atonement, is above average in strength among his peers."

Lady Ash looked at someone with a complicated expression and commented: "You are not that far away from being the strongest."

Jiang He did not respond to this, but asked: "Saint descendants?"

"It's equivalent to a great noble in the empire's main city." Baroness Ash sat on the ground, not caring at all that her uniform trousers were stained with dust.

"Next time you encounter a gold, my Betrayal Abyss Ghost can stun a target of the same level for 0.5 seconds. However, it only happens once a day, which should significantly reduce the difficulty of the raid. Of course, it doesn't seem to be difficult for you, so it will be easier at least."

Lady Ash didn't know how to describe it. Because they often traveled together, she knew a person's life level inside out. However, this guy usually acted too strong, and it seemed that no one really regarded him as a peak silver level.

Jiang He swallowed several grilled eight-armed bears. Ten minutes later, the will confinement of the Changhen Dragon Spear had cooled down and his physical strength had recovered a little. The combination of the Martial Saint Strike and the confinement had indeed consumed a huge amount of energy.

"Let's go back to the academy." Jiang He stood up and said.

Lady Ash looked a little puzzled, in her opinion, the other party should be full of energy, and even planned to live in the Lightless Forest for a long time to hunt hostile gold.

"Are you feeling unwell?" she asked politely.

"Go back and exchange your reward with your mentor."

Of course Jiang He would not tell the other party directly that he was currently stealing the ghosts in Wanyuan Tomb, and this matter was more important than fighting in the forest.

When Lady Ash heard about the reward, she was immediately interested. The four-hour alchemy class would significantly improve her skills.

The two reached a consensus and immediately returned along the same route.

An hour later, the edge of the lightless forest appeared before their eyes. The walls of the Rusty Iron Fortress towered into the clouds. The Holy City Legion and the Academy jointly built a first aid point on the flat land outside the wall.

From time to time, legionnaires and academy students were pulled out by their companions. Most of them had already died, but there were also some seriously injured and worthy of treatment.

The entire emergency camp was filled with wailing, and the smell of herbs and blood was everywhere. The academy's medical instructor, the Life Sinner, was busy running around. She had ultimate self-healing abilities, and could also bestow this effect on others, making her a true healing expert.

But the biggest problem was that even as a golden creature, her gold energy value when she was first promoted was only about 10000 points, equivalent to 30000 points of silver energy. The energy consumption of healing herself and healing others was very different. Facing hundreds of silver wounded, she gradually felt the pressure.

Lady Ash stopped beside the camp and couldn't help but turn her head to look at someone and said, "Can you wait for me for a moment? Anyway, my sin energy has not been consumed much, so I might as well use it all here."

"Whatever." Jiang He said.

"I'm done with my crimes. You will protect me, right?" Lady Ash smiled.

"No." Jiang He answered truthfully, "It is better for a golden creature who needs protection from others to die in the Silver Age."

Upon hearing this, Lady Ash rolled her eyes and went straight into the camp. The echoing wailing sounds immediately became much quieter.

The injured cadets present saw the star senior and all cast their eyes in her direction. Some of the young boys and girls were even a little shy. When some soldiers blew their whistles, they immediately attracted the cadets' angry and hostile looks.

Seeing this, the medical instructor said, “Sylvia, help me delay those dozen people who are seriously injured and unconscious.”

"clear."

Lady Ash came in front of a soldier with a broken arm and activated her ultimate skill, Betrayal.

If this ability targets the body and soul, it can cause dizziness. If it targets only the body, it can keep the body in a "frozen" state for a long time.

Although using [Betrayal] on seriously injured people cannot directly heal them, it can buy time for the medical instructor to respond calmly. Its essence is the betrayal of the body by the injury.

At the same time, releasing only on the flesh would cost much less than causing dizziness. Baroness Ash released it twenty times in a row, stabilizing some dying wounded soldiers, and then left the camp with a pale face.

A significant consumption of energy means a decline in peak combat power.

But to Lady Ash, these wounded were all patriots fighting loyally for the empire just like herself, and the loss of some recoverable status was nothing at all.

She returned to someone and couldn't help but raise her head slightly. Although she was no match for this guy in terms of combat power, the Abyss Ghost had many means of betraying him in the field of function.

Unfortunately, Jiang He had no desire to comment. He wrote a message to the old priest and conveyed it through the friend list. After the other party surrendered to the Origin, the end mark had been lost on his player panel, which meant that he had no way to retreat.

[Mo Ke: Continue to investigate the commander of the great army. The information about the Emperor's Armor and the War Abyss Ghost alone is not enough. At the very least, we need to find out what the Mind Image Armor is. In addition, we need to collect historical records about the formation of the Lightless Forest. This main mission is not just my job.]
[Old priest: Your Excellency, can you be tolerant for a few days? Green is missing. I will look for him first.]
Next to the camp, Jiang He raised his eyebrows slightly.

[Mo Ke: Details]
[Old priest: At noon, Green and a group of students entered the Lightless Forest. They had originally agreed to withdraw after three hours, but encountered the Theocracy's Knights of Atonement and Silent Sisters. According to the wounded after the battle, they relied on numbers to win the encounter. After interrogation, they learned that the Fortress of Atonement secretly established a transit arsenal in the Lightless Forest.]
[Mo Ke: Underestimating the enemy and advancing rashly?]
[Old priest: Probably. I am looking for it.]
Jiang He closed the contact. He didn't care whether Green was dead or alive. If a group of silvers encountered hostile golds, the only outcome would be death. If he didn't consider the impact on their enthusiasm and the accuracy of the intelligence, he would directly ask the old priest to give up the search and gather intelligence immediately.

Beside him, Lady Ash asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"It has nothing to do with you." Jiang He said truthfully.

Lady Ash's face darkened and she felt extremely irritated.

The two entered the city wall elevator and climbed to the top floor of the fortress.

Because of the First Legion Commander's incident, the Deputy Legion Commander stationed at the passage was planning to make things difficult, but when he saw the headless corpse held in someone's hand, he immediately shrank his neck. The breath of the golden creature was real and authentic. This was an existence with the same combat power as the legion commanders, but now it was already dead and became a trophy.

It had only been half a day since the Ashes Academy's support arrived, and the news of two S-class warriors teaming up to hunt for gold quickly spread throughout the fortress, greatly boosting the morale of the students, who were all proud of the event. …

The night ends.

The two returned to the academy through the Yuan Gate.

During this period, Raman stayed in the alchemy tower behind the teaching building for a long time. If he wanted to return to the Obsidian Building, he only needed to perform a reverse summoning teleportation.

Jiang He used the all-seeing eye to accurately find the other party.

"One of the alchemist's rules is equal exchange."

"You killed the golden creature as promised, so I naturally have no intention of going back on my word."

"Pick any secret recipe from the list."

The top floor room of the alchemy tower is filled with all kinds of precious alchemical instruments. Jiang He can only infer their uses, but he cannot name most of them.

The burly old man agreed to fulfill his promise without even looking back. Although the Great Sin of Gluttony hunting for gold across the ages at the peak of silver was still worthy of attention, it was not unbelievable.

"I'm going to exchange it for the city-burning explosive bomb." Jiang He said.

The alchemical matrix of this ultimate-grade bullet needs to be engraved by interweaving two high-quality flames. It is particularly easy to make, and the main material, "Solidifying Flame", can be completely replaced by solidification technology. The process is extremely simple.

Ramanov pointed casually, and the lights in the tower scattered out, weaving a clear picture. From the selection of materials to the techniques, to the various failed cases, everything was clear.

"It takes too much time to collect symbolic materials again. Usually, you can use substitutes from the engraving matrix. The effect is about 70% to 80%. I will also give you the source of the city-burning explosive bomb. You don't have to worry about others stealing the technology from the pattern. Understanding is the boundary of the symbol. Only by understanding can you use it. You will understand this later."

A red bullet fell from the ceiling.

Jiang He raised his hand and caught it steadily.

It is difficult for him to judge accurately how high the alchemist's survivability and combat level can be in the exclusive alchemy tower, but it is definitely proportional to the accumulation.

After a long while, under the eager gaze of Lady Ash, Ramanf turned around and said with a sigh, "As for you, get ready for class. No questions allowed. My time..."

As if he was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe, Ramanf closed his eyes. Compared to the secret recipe, he now felt a little regretful about the conditions he had set.

Jiang He said goodbye and left, walked out of the Alchemy Tower, and went straight back to the Rose Villa.

The moment the door was closed, the fog of death enveloped the surroundings, and he reigned over the Wanyuan Tomb. The main dish this time was a golden-level temperature abyss ghost, which looked like a deep-sea fish, with plump meat yet tough.

"How about slicing sashimi tonight?" Lilith suggested from the perspective of a chef. "It just so happens that there is an artificial hot spring on the roof of the villa."

Jiang He looked at her suspiciously.

Lilith blinked and said teasingly, "No way, you don't think I'm interested in your naked body."

"Don't be too outrageous." Jiang He rubbed his brows and said, "I am still the Scarlet God's favor after all."

"Really not." Lilith smiled and said, "Sashimi and hot springs are a combination. I am considering your dining experience."

Jiang He nodded hesitantly. As a dignified god, he should not take advantage of his favored ones. More importantly, the resurrection has not yet been realized. Considering the other party's rationality, it is highly likely that he will not do anything unnecessary.

"Please hurry up."

"It will only take a few hours to cut it raw and pickle it."

Jiang He came to the rooftop of the villa. Wisps of death fog filled the air. Fake reefs of various shapes were scattered around the hot spring pool. Their textures were delicate and lifelike. There were clumps of green bamboos standing by the pool. Hot air was rising and a mixture of black and white fog was lingering.

He walked into the pool, and his academy uniform immediately burned to ashes, while the meteorite-level flames quickly heated the pool water.

After the battle for the embers ended, Jiang He relaxed for a rare time, but soon felt out of place and uncomfortable.

"Let's just cast the bullets at the same time."

A handful of flames turned into an egg-like ellipsoid under the effect of solidification technology. Jiang He shrunk the Changhen Dragon Spear to the size of a chopstick and concentrated on carving the alchemical matrix with his epic sharpness.

During this process, the blood poison fire and the burning fire intertwined, the bright red and the golden yellow merged, and the main material produced by the control of the Immortal-level flame greatly increased the basic power of the bullet.

A quarter of an hour later, the city-burning explosive bomb was successfully produced.

Jiang He produced eighteen bullets in a row, which was equivalent to the number of bullets in three sets of revolvers.

When he finished alchemy, Yuangui sashimi and dragon blood wine were already placed in front of him, with pork ribs floating on the water on a tray.

"Please enjoy your meal." Lilith sat by the pool, paddling with her slender feet, with no intention of going in. She was wearing a gorgeous black dress as always. In the eyes of some people, this dress might be like Aya's snake scales, not a real dress.

Jiang He finished the sashimi in three mouthfuls, swallowing it whole, completely ignoring Lilith's increasingly dangerous look.

Jiang He looked at this exquisite and gorgeous revolver. He rarely gave a good evaluation. Compared with the mind-image weapon of the Gun Sin Warlock, the Momentary Echo was inferior in power, but superior in mechanism.

As for the power, it can be compensated by alchemical bullets.

Overall, Echo of the Moment is considered qualified as a secondary weapon, and this mental weapon can grow together with the Time Gap Demon and will not be eliminated at will.
