When I traveled through time and became a player, I just wanted to commit suicide

The wide main road was covered with ruts left by passing vehicles, and there were many messy hoof prints mixed together, making it difficult to distinguish.

Torrett maintained a moderate pace, running neither fast nor slow on the snow-covered main road.

To be rich, build roads first.

The rulers of the Kingdom of Jonia obviously had a clear understanding of this. The more prosperous the city, the wider the roads were built. Looking around, they were wide enough to accommodate three large earth dragon carts running side by side.

Although there are few vehicles on the road now due to the climate, it is conceivable that when the weather gets warmer, there will be countless vehicles coming and going on the road.

As an important trading city on the southern border, Olin City actually engages in import and export trade, that is, it brings together goods from all over the country and dumps them in the southern United States of Zaire and surrounding small countries.

Of course, goods from the south will also be sent to the whole country via Olin City.

Although Farm City is also a border city, its location is too remote. Unlike Olin City, it does not have a large river passing through it, nor does it have a smooth main road. Its transportation capacity is poor, so it cannot develop into a trading city, and it is not even a fortress city with military defense capabilities.

Given the sensitivity of Viscount Alman's identity, it was only natural that the less valuable Farm City was traded.

However, when Li Shanren brought Eivor and the others back last time and passed through the city of Fam, he found that the city had gradually gained new residents.

They are basically local sub-humans, mainly hairy werewolves and lizardmen wrapped in gauze.

It was learned that these sub-humans originally lived in nearby tribes, but because there was no population in Fam City, they moved into the city.

I heard that this was also the decision of the Kingdom Parliament. They planned to rebuild Farm City into a demi-human city in order to win the support of demi-human forces and form a new demi-human army.

The population was sold to the Cult of Sloth, and the cities were sold to subhuman tribes.

All we can say is that the rulers of the Kingdom of Jonia made a good deal. Even though it was just a small border town, they basically squeezed out all its value.

......

Li Shanren rode on the horse, staring blankly ahead, basically letting Torrett walk forward on his own.

He had already told Torrett the route to go forward, and Torrett snorted and nodded, seemingly understanding him.

Li Shanren is reviewing what happened today.

At first, he just planned to follow Wei Luo to cause trouble for the Cult of Sloth. He originally wanted to find the Cult of Sloth member who escaped last night.

Unexpectedly, by accident, the Archbishop of Sloth was killed.

To this end, he took out the most powerful single-target attack magic currently available, which was the magic combat skill attached to the sword of the Knight of Kalia - "Great Kalia".

At the border, after being amplified many times, the mighty Kalia is powerful enough to kill an ordinary mountain goblin giant with one blow.

However, if you want to release the third level of "Great Kalia", the entire accumulation and release process takes at least three seconds, and you cannot move during the release period, which is also a fatal flaw of this combat skill.

Therefore, Li Shanren would not normally use the Kalia Knight Sword. Most of the time, he would rely on magic such as Rock Balls, Pyroxene Magic Gravel, and Pyroxene Sword Circle as his main means of combat. When close combat was needed, he would still use the famous sword Yueyin.

Although the single-shot power of the combat skill Higashitsuki-gakure is not as great as that of Kalia, its release speed is extremely fast, it is more adaptable, and its power is also considerable.

But no matter what, when facing more powerful enemies in this world, the magic he has on hand is indeed gradually not enough.

Therefore, the next step is to build a magic academy at the border.

In addition to considerations on magic, Li Shanren also recalled some things related to "item descriptions".

In fact, after the items in this world are soaked in runes, they can show different explanations to introduce this matter. There have been clues about this before.

Li Shanren recalled that he had used runes many times to combine ordinary objects in this world to make "amulets", such as Tifa's silver earrings. After being transformed by him, those amulets with different effects would have different item descriptions.

Theoretically speaking, Li Shanren had no idea what the specific effects of each amulet were, but the item description could show the effect of the amulet itself.

When this situation occurred before, Li Shanren did not think too much about it. Now it seems that he overlooked an important situation, which led to him figuring out the correct way to use the item description only today.

Thinking of this, Li Shanren smiled bitterly.

Fortunately, the item descriptions had not been used many times before, and did not cause him any losses.

Finally, take stock of the harvest.

The biggest gain of this trip was undoubtedly the Lingdun Jade Ring and the hundreds of thousands of gold luxos. In Li Shanren's eyes, the value of the Lingdun Jade Ring was even higher than that large sum of money.

The existence of the Emerald Ring of the Spirit Shield means that even if he encounters an Emerald-level transcendent again in the future, he will have a solid layer of protection. Even if the power of the magic he often uses may not reach the "Emerald-level" standard of this world, at least he has the ability to protect himself.

It allowed him to narrow the gap between himself and the magicians in this world.

Due to the existence of magic spirits, Emerald-level magicians can also cast spells quickly, which is equivalent to eliminating the advantages of Li Shanren's previous casting without chanting.

At the same time, the existence of the elemental shield makes Li Shanren, who currently has no powerful magic, helpless.

Although "Great Kalia" played a key role in breaking the shadow shield of the Cult of Sloth this time, Li Shanren did not think it was all his credit.

If it was a one-on-one situation, he didn't know how many times he would have to swing "Great Kalia" to break the tough shield, and this was based on the assumption that the opponent didn't attack him.

If the opponent interfered, Li Shanren's original defensive measures would be inadequate and defeat would be obvious.

The Spirit Shield Emerald Ring narrowed the gap in this aspect, giving him the confidence to stand in front of the Emerald-level transcendents.

And not only in this world, I believe that the Spirit Shield Jade Ring can also be of great help in exploring the handover area.

Before this, even the golden kite-shaped shield that could withstand the full-strength attack of a gold-level transcendent had saved Li Shanren’s life many times during the exploration of the border area.

Li Shanren stroked the emerald ring on his right index finger, and felt more confident about his next trip to the border.

Torrett sped ahead, and the scenery on both sides of the road quickly receded.

Li Shanren was still immersed in his own thoughts. He touched the storage bag and took out the bottle of mysterious orange potion.

This bottle of potion is called "Elixir of Wisdom".

The effect is to allow an unqualified civilian to directly become a "magician's apprentice" and gain the ability to embark on the extraordinary path.

I heard that this potion is also very popular among the nobles. After all, not all nobles are qualified to embark on the extraordinary path.

Li Shanren hasn't figured out how to use this potion, although he really wants to drink it himself and try it out.

But it is hard to say whether this potion will work on him who is already a "pyroxene magician". If it has no effect, then it would be a mistake.

And even if he really embarked on the extraordinary path of this world, he would only be an apprentice of a magician. If he wanted to go further, it would probably take countless years.

This potion was originally meant to give unqualified mortals a chance to transcend the mundane world. In fact, the best age to drink the potion should be between 6 and 12 years old.

Children of this age are suitable for meditation practice, which lays a good foundation for their future growth. Even if they have acquired talents later in life, they can catch up with their peers through diligent work.

However, if one becomes a "magician apprentice" in his early twenties like Li Shanren, then he has missed the best time for practice and it will be difficult for him to climb to a higher level on this path. He may only be a mediocre junior magician throughout his life.

Li Shanren stroked the medicine bottle, thought silently for a while, then put it back into the storage bag and took out the old sheepskin map.

He sat on the horse, took his hands off the reins, and slowly spread out the map.

Mountains and rivers were delicately depicted in black and purple ink, with a red cross drawn in a place that resembled a valley.

[Item Name]: Unknown sheepskin map

[Item Type]: Valuables

[Description]: This map is imbued with void divine power. The location depicted seems to be in the west of the continent. If you are interested, you can go and take a look.

Looking at the instructions on the map, Li Shanren's face became a little gloomy.

The item description did not give much information, but the words "void divine power" were deeply imprinted in his mind.

There are so-called "Gods" in this world.

This doesn't seem to be surprising.

After all, there are many gods in the border area, and Queen Marika, the founder of the Golden Dynasty, is also a god herself.

Not to mention that there is an existence above the gods - the mysterious "Supreme Will".

But in the Messianic Continent, Li Shanren has not come into contact with any other true God except the one worshipped by the Holy Cross Church.

The name of a god is generally related to the power and authority it symbolizes.

For example, the true God believed in by the Holy Christians is called——

The ice-blue moon hanging high in the sky, the lord of the blood moon who controls killing, the holy king of eternal mercy.

Based on the honorific names they use in their prayers, it is easy to associate them with the moon hanging in the sky at night. It is a cold blue moon in winter, a red blood moon in summer, and a bright full moon in spring and autumn.

Normally, the followers of the Holy Lord Church simply call him "God", "the incarnation of the moon", or "the moon god".

It is said that the Moon Goddess has descended three times in history.

In the first coming, the lord of the abyss, Loliusia, was sealed, and the abyss no longer affected the world.

The Second Coming saw the establishment of the Kingdom of Jonia and the spread of the Moon God faith.

In the third coming, the Goblin God, who was on the path to becoming a god, fell, and the divinity of his race was shattered.

The most recent one was more than a thousand years ago.

At that time, a brilliant man was born among the goblins. He single-handedly caused the Goblin Disaster and established a powerful Goblin Kingdom, so that all the powerful countries on the continent had to join forces to fight against him. (Virgo mentioned this on the third to last page of Chapter 140)

Rumor has it that the goblin was only one step away from condensing his godhood and ascending to the throne of god, but his overly arrogant behavior eventually attracted the arrival of the true god, and his godhood was shattered.

In the scriptures of the Church of the Holy Cross, only five short ancient words were used to describe this event: "God descended and the tribe was destroyed."

Since then, the goblin race has never recovered and has completely become the object of enslavement by other races.

In fact, they had indeed been exterminated once, but because their racial divinity was only shattered and not completely disappeared, they reappeared after a long time.

Given the goblins' reproductive ability, they are indeed impossible to kill, which is a helpless thing.

When Li Shanren was studying the common sense of this world, he felt a little frightened when he saw the five words "God descends and the race is destroyed" through the scriptures of the Holy Episcopal Church.

Just one visit was enough to temporarily destroy a powerful race. This level of power was beyond his imagination.

This made him think of the "supreme will" at the border.

Legend has it that there was once a race at the border that offended the Supreme Will, after which the Supreme Will directly dropped a gravity meteorite from outer space, smashing that race and its settlement completely into the dark underground, leaving them with a false sky above their heads, never to see the light of day again.

Comparing the battle records of the two sides, I am afraid that the Moon Goddess is at the same level as the "Supreme Will".

Queen Marika of the border area can only be called a "god" and is far from being a "true god".
