PDLP Chapter 550 World Progress
Chapter 550 World Progress
Just before the old city lord's plan was about to be implemented, Dio was trying to escape with difficulty.
"Melina, can you put me down?" Dio asked.
"No, you brought this all on yourself. I've already helped you a lot." Melina refused.
"Alas...you are so heartless." Dio shook his head.
"It seems that there is only one other way to escape, but I really don't want to use this method..." Dio muttered to himself.
Melina looked at Dio curiously, and she also wanted to know how Dio could escape.
"I know more than one kind of prayer, and this is the one I least want to use."
"Ah~~" Dio suddenly showed a foul expression, and a shining golden light gradually burst out from his eyes.
Melina's expression changed and she quickly moved away from him.
"Pray: Madness comes!"
Crackling~ Various golden sparks began to appear in Dio's eyes.
These sparks attached to the mushrooms and instantly ignited them.
Dio only had a seizure for three seconds, but he felt like his head was about to explode.
He saw a strange world.
Countless figures were moving back and forth in front of him, laughing, crying, or making noises. A series of mixed voices drilled into his mind like an electric drill.
vomit!
Dio fell to the ground with a thud, retching frantically.
The surrounding mushrooms quickly curled up as if encountering natural enemies. Those that had no time to shrink turned into ashes and disappeared.
Even the corpses on the ground turned into ashes...
However, epileptic fire does not seem to be able to burn stones. It extinguishes itself when there is no combustible material.
Dio's eyes moved back and forth, and it took half an hour for him to regain consciousness.
"Huh... I got over it. It seems I'm not crazy yet." Dio said with a smile.
"Are you sure?" Melina's slightly solemn voice came.
"Look at the ground! Can you understand what you wrote?"
Dio rubbed his brows and then looked at the floor.
On the floor, a large number of bloody words were written. This is all Dior's own blood.
"When?" Dio was shocked.
He hurriedly looked at his fingers. At this time, there were only three fingers left on his right hand.
The other two have been worn away, but the damage will soon heal.
But what Dio couldn't accept was that he couldn't remember when he wrote the bloody words on the ground.
There is something strange about these words, and just looking at them will make you feel uncomfortable.
Dio endured the discomfort and read the content carefully.
Although he had never learned this kind of writing, he found that he could understand it.
"The devil lurks in the long river of time, preventing the Lord's unification. All subjects must remember... everything is false... don't fall into a sweet dream..."
What follows is a mess of gibberish that even Dior can't understand.
"What does this mean?" Dio's heart was beating wildly. He felt as if he had received some very forbidden secret.
"What are you talking about!?" Melina slowly pulled out the dagger.
When Dio chanted the words on the ground just now, he didn't know what language he used. The language sounded so evil that even Melina couldn't bear it.
"Wait! Put down the knife! If you have something to say, say it!" Dio was startled.
Melina stared at Dio seriously.
"What's your name?"
"Dio! Why do you ask this?" Dio slowly backed away, wondering if Melina was crazy.
"Fortunately, it seems that you still retain your sanity." Melina put away the dagger.
She looked around. The cell was already covered with dust.
Part of it is the dust of corpses, and the other part is the dust of burned mushrooms.
In the center of the cell is the bloody word written by Dio.
Melina waved the cloak behind her, and a gust of wind instantly blew in the cell.
The dust swept away, obliterating the bloody words written by Dio on the ground.
"Cough cough cough! What are you doing!" Dio was blown away.
"Hurry up! I always feel like this place is unsafe." Melina urged.
Dio wiped his face randomly, then rushed to the cell door and pulled it down.
The two of them ran out of the cell quickly, and they didn't see anyone else along the way.
"What's going on? Why is there no one?" Dio was still a little confused.
But soon, a violent storm swept across the entire mountain.
The aroma of wine gradually filled the air.
Dio blocked his mouth and nose instantly. This scene was somewhat familiar to him.
He quickly ran to the battlefield, and the hurricane couldn't stop him at all.
However, the aroma of wine in the air still made him a little heady.
"It's really troublesome!" Dio was a little helpless, being targeted by the prayer he invented, which was really ironic.
At this time, he saw the knights of the old city lord scattering the powder in the jar into the sky.
Although he didn't know what it was, Dio felt a very bad feeling in his heart.
"Stop!" Mrs. Shenpi shouted in panic.
But a torch was already spinning and flying into the sky.
For a moment, only fear or relief remained on people's faces.
"Pray! Scarlet Waste Liquid!"
Dio opened his mouth wide, and a burst of bright red liquid, like a high-pressure water gun, extinguished the torch.
"Ahem!" Dio pinched his throat. He was a little too hard just now. His throat must have been seriously injured.
Mrs. Shenpi also woke up from a dream, and she immediately commanded her husband to beat the gloomy old city lord to death.
With the death of the old city lord, the storm stopped instantly.
Some of the subordinates of the old city lord lit torches one after another, preparing to make a final effort.
Boom! ! !
A huge fire suddenly appeared on the entire mountain.
But such power did not kill a few people at all. They had missed the best time to use it.
Seeing that they were unable to do anything, these knights retreated like the tide.
"Madam, what should we do next?" A knight captain knelt down and asked his wife.
"Huh~ Forget it, they won't be able to make any trouble once the old city lord dies."
Madame Shenpi ordered the knights to put out the fire, and she walked towards the place where Dio was hiding.
When Dio saw that the other party had discovered him, he stopped hiding and stood up openly.
"So, I saved your life. Do you still want to attack me?" Dio spread his hands and said.
"Haha, if it weren't for those strange tricks of your followers, my life would not be in danger. At most, we would be even." Mrs. Shenpi's expression was a little cold.
"Hmph, I won't argue with you about what happened before, but you shouldn't have any more thoughts that you shouldn't have!" Mrs. Shenpi said with a cold look.
"Ah~ It's so heartless~" Dio breathed a sigh of relief.
"Where are my followers?"
"Hmph! I don't know, you can find it yourself." Mrs. Shenpi left.
Dio curled his lips and looked at the muscular man who was putting out the fire.
"Is this Mrs. Shenpi's husband? Huh? His face seems a bit familiar... Wait! Why do you put my face on your husband's face!"
"This face doesn't match this figure at all!" Dior couldn't complain anymore.
If he had seen the image of Nezha in a hundred thousand bad jokes, then he would have some immunity to the current scene.
Mrs. Shenpi's face turned red. She forgot to change her face.
She didn't look back, but walked away quickly.
Dio didn't bother to worry, he also went to find his followers.
Just like that, one night later, the originally beautiful mountain top was burned to the ground by fire. Fortunately, there were not many casualties.
At this time, Dio and his followers gathered together again, and the woman who incited people to release joint prayers had been arrested by Madam Shenpi.
The divine skin on her body had been peeled off, leaving only a bloody body.
"Ah!!!" She was hung on the mast and allowed to be exposed to the wind and sun.
Even the slightest breeze was torture to her.
"What a danger! We almost perished in the fire because of her bewitchment!" All the followers were frightened after learning the truth.
Dio sighed slightly as he watched this scene.
He picked up the stones on the ground and threw them out.
Poof! The stone penetrated the woman's head directly, and she was finally freed.
"Haha, you can forgive even your enemies, you have such a big heart." Mrs. Shenpi looked a little dissatisfied. If she could, she would continue to torture that woman.
After all, if it weren't for Dior this time, she would really be overturned.
And this also taught her a lesson: if you continue to break up, you will suffer chaos. After all, I am still a little indecisive when it comes to doing things on my own.
If they are enemies, eradicate them as soon as possible. If they are friends, make friends as soon as possible. If you hesitate in doing anything, you will be in danger like this time.
"Huh? If I kill her, does that mean I forgive her?" Dio was a little confused.
"She should be tortured for a while longer," Mrs. Shenpi said.
"Haha, that will only lead you to the abyss. When you torture others, are you not torturing your own conscience?" Dio shook his head.
He is always clean and neat with his actions and will never torture others.
After hearing these words, Mrs. Shenpi's eyes were slightly dazed.
Indeed, she didn't even dare to kill a chicken at first. As a result, now, she has completely turned into a cruel and vicious woman.
Now she can torture a living creature without changing her expression.
"Haha, I think it's time for you to leave." Mrs. Shenpi issued the eviction order.
Everyone didn't talk nonsense and ran away directly.
After all, it's quite scary to be around this female devil.
Mrs. Shenpi looked at the ruins with a calm expression. That's fine, it just so happens that this place is outdated. She is going to officially move into the small town below.
"Let the knights take a rest and attack the city at noon. I have tolerated it long enough." Mrs. Shenpi said.
"Yes!" The knights took the order and left.
A muscular man separated from Mrs. Shenpi's back.
Madam Shenpi looked at this man with memories and sorrow in her expression.
How happy it would be if the world did not collapse and everyone still lived under the order of the Golden Tree.
Now her husband's soul has long since died, leaving only a soulless body alive. But even so, her husband has been protecting her.
"Go! Help the knights capture the city." Mrs. Shenpi said softly.
The muscular man turned and left without saying a word.
Mrs. Shenpi walked to a dilapidated palace and sat down slowly.
She will wait here for her husband's return.
tick...
An inexplicable drop of water fell on the toes of Mrs. Shenpi.
She looked to her toes in confusion.
And above her head, a man wearing a skull helmet was quietly attacking Madam Shenpi with two golden hooks.
puff!
A handful of bright red blood bloomed, and Madam Shenpi screamed and fell to the ground.
The skeleton assassin did not hesitate, he quickly collected the blood, then turned around and ran away.
The flesh and blood on Mrs. Shenpi's stabbed neck squirmed for a while, and finally recovered quickly.
There was overwhelming anger in her eyes.
"Death!!!" She suddenly stretched out a hand, her fingers instantly lengthened, and the ends of her fingertips formed a large net that fiercely enveloped the skeleton assassin.
The skeleton assassin instantly dropped the jar on his waist to the ground, revealing a pool of red powder. Then he hit the ground with his hook and a handful of sparks popped out.
There was a boom and explosion, and the fire instantly burned away the large net covering him, and the skeleton assassin quickly moved forward along the aftermath of the explosion.
The injuries on his back were horrific, but he didn't seem to notice.
After just a few breaths, he disappeared without a trace.
When Madam Shenpi fanned out the flames and walked out of the palace with a gloomy face, she couldn't even see the other person's back.
She touched the back of her neck. She was almost beheaded just now. Although the wound there healed, it also left a deep psychological shadow on her.
But she couldn't figure out who sent the assassin.
If he were such a powerful assassin, if he were the old city lord, he would have used it long ago instead of waiting until now.
Mrs. Shenpi thought for a long time, but she couldn't figure out who was targeting her.
On the other side, Dio and others were walking on the road with tired expressions. Also running away with them were many businessmen from other places.
Everyone is seeking refuge, after all, the city is unsafe at first sight.
It has to be said that their sense of smell is still very sensitive.
"I can't figure it out, why can you use epileptic fire?" Melina's voice came.
Dio raised his eyelids. "This is not surprising. The original host of Epilepsy was a businessman. With their mobility, after so many years of development, there are probably very few people who are not infected with Epilepsy."
"However, the epileptic fire seems to be much milder than before. It does not break out easily. Even if I actively try to guide it to break out, it is a bit difficult." Dio also doesn't understand this.
"..." Melina didn't speak for a while, as if she couldn't accept this fact.
"But I don't plan to use that kind of ghost thing again! If I continue to use it, I will really go crazy!" Dio couldn't help but say.
"Alas..." There was a faint sigh in the air.
Where is the hope for this world? Melina felt confused for a while.
Although the golden tree still looks powerful, the alien gods surrounding him seem to be getting more and more terrifying.
Melina once again set her sights on Dio. At this moment, she realized that even the golden tree seemed to be unable to control its own destiny.
These faders are more like the final madness.
Dio felt Melina's naked gaze. He twisted his shoulders and felt a little nervous in his heart.
"Come on. I won't interfere with you anymore." Melina said.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Dio was a little confused.
But this time, Melina fell into a long silence.
Dio and the others followed a group of businessmen heading to the Mage Academy. With the guidance of these people, they could save a lot of trouble.
"Why did you go to the Magic Academy? It's not a good place to preach. The mages don't believe in any gods at all." A businessman approached Dio and said.
"Oh, I heard there are a lot of rich women over there. To be honest, I don't want to work hard anymore." Dio said casually.
"Hahahaha!" The businessman was amused by Dio. But after he looked Dio up and down for a few times, he shook his head.
"It's a pity. If you were a handsome guy, you might actually be able to date a rich woman."
"Queen of the Full Moon Lenara treats both beautiful men and women favorably." The businessman said with a smile,
"Lenara?" Dio seemed to have never heard of this person in the past. This should be a new powerful person.
"Huh? You didn't know? I thought you were going after her." The businessman was a little confused.
"Can you tell me about her? Is this Full Moon Queen ugly?" Dio was a little curious.
"Ha! You are absolutely wrong to say that! Queen Full Moon is a very beautiful woman! She likes all beautiful things."
"However, there is something wrong with her mental state. There are some rumors that she often harms herself. I don't know if it is true." The businessman whispered in a low voice.
"Why is she like this?" Dio asked curiously.
"I don't know." The businessman shook his head.
"By the way, can you introduce me to the Mage Academy? I'm very curious." Dio took out a bag of money and handed it to the businessman.
Seeing the money bag, the businessman's eyes suddenly lit up, and the smile on his face became even brighter.
"Hahaha! Easy to say! Easy to say!"
"Today's Mage Academy is divided into three major forces, the Full Moon Sect headed by Queen Full Moon, the Star Sect composed of down-and-out mages, and the Soul Sect led by Dean Tops."
"The three academies have been completely separated, but many uninformed outsiders will always think that there is only one mage academy." The businessman began to talk non-stop.
"Times have really changed. I think back then there was only one magic academy..." Dio thought silently in his heart.
"By the way, I remember there should be a chef academy next to the Mage Academy." Dio recalled.
"Ah~ That is indeed a good place! It is now controlled by the Mind Academy. Principal Topps is a very good person. The Chef Academy is growing stronger and stronger under his management."
"After we get over there, we must go and have a good meal!" the businessman said longingly.
"Oh..." Dio didn't have any expectations. He didn't care much about eating.
However, Madam Shenpi seems to serve the God of Beauty, so will there be someone similar to Madam Shenpi in the Chef Academy?
Dio asked his question.
The businessman looked a little confused when he heard this. "The God of Food and the God of Beauty should not be the same God! Why do you have such doubts?"
"..." Dio was a little surprised. It seems that over the years, people have divided the beauty god.
"The God of Food...does he also have a sect?" Dio asked.
"That's not true. If I insist on saying so, those chefs should be considered his disciples."
"It was rumored that the God of Food was dead because no matter how much people called to each other there was no answer."
Dior nodded. It was normal that he didn't respond. After all, he was essentially the God of Beauty.
After a long journey, everyone was finally approaching the nearest spiritual academy.
Different from the chaos in the north, the Soul Academy seems a bit peaceful. People's faces are always filled with smiles, as if even if the world is broken, it cannot affect their pursuit of happiness.
Dio carefully observed the expressions of the people around him, and he could see that everyone's smiles were sincere.
So Dio turned to his followers and said: "Don't think about preaching anymore, because no one here needs salvation. Just think of it as a trip! Let's go and take a look around."
The missionaries also realized that the people here are quite rich spiritually and do not need their guidance at all.
Their expressions were slightly confused, but they still followed Dio's instructions and went out for a walk.
They didn't have much money themselves, but Dio produced some slumber waste, which he sold to businessmen for a fortune.
Businessmen have experienced the power of this thing. Smear these liquids on the arrowheads, and even a big brown bear who is shot will not be able to resist sleepiness.
Smart businessmen discovered business opportunities.
The chef academy needs a lot of fresh ingredients every day.
But catching live animals is more difficult after all, but with these sleeping waste liquids, it will be much more convenient when hunting animals.
Dior distributed the money to everyone, and it was time for them to relax.
After leaving the meeting place, everyone dispersed and played around.
The public security here is quite good, even the most evil faders would not dare to cause trouble here.
As for why? Because there are almost every magician per capita here.
Not many people may know advanced magic, but everyone can master some basic spells.
"Ah~ I watched the stars last night and knew that I would definitely pick up money today. So I went out to play."
"Ha! Me too!"
"..."
The people around him were saying things that Dio couldn't understand at all.
"It seems that I am still behind the times after all. If I don't want to be eliminated, I'd better supplement my knowledge." Dio thought.
So Dio took out a handful of money and threw it on the ground.
The two night stargazers' eyes lit up instantly and they picked up the money on the ground.
"Hahaha! It seems that my destiny magic has improved again!"
The two money pickers laughed from ear to ear.
"Ahem, you two, I'm a new tourist here. I want to know where I can learn knowledge? I can pay." Dio said modestly.
The two of them looked at Dio for a few times, and then began to chant some inexplicable magic spells.
"..." Dio's expression was a little stiff. If he didn't feel the other party's hostility, Dio would have thought that the other party was going to be detrimental to him.
After the two demons finished chanting the spell, they frowned at the same time.
"I used my destiny magic to predict that if we help you, we will suffer! So take your leave!"
The two took the money and ran away without looking back.
Dior was left messy in the wind.
"Haha... Since you don't want to help me, then give me the money back!" Dio said helplessly.
