#538 - Chapter 538 Baptism
Wu Wei's preparations proceeded very quickly.
In just a few hours, the first army specifically for exploring the Land of Divinefall was incubated by Wu Wei.
Of course, this army configuration was still a bit old-fashioned.
A large number of Lesser Demons, coupled with an equally large number of mid-to-high-end demons, a classic combination.
But often, what is considered old-fashioned often represents practicality.
“Lord, as per your request, the first batch of troops is ready.”
“This time, which demon hero are you going to have lead the army?”
Druid said to Wu Wei.
In his opinion, demon warriors and demon heroes, whether it is their skills or their fighting styles, are often bound together.
Many times, Wu Wei's demon warriors can only exert their full combat capabilities under the leadership of demon heroes.
However, this time Wu Wei did not intend to do so.
“No.”
Wu Wei glanced at the undead Druid beside him and said slowly.
“This time, I don’t plan to send a demon hero to the Land of Divinefall.”
“Then who are you going to send?”
“Fallen Angel Liz!”
Wu Wei smiled.
Hearing Wu Wei's idea, Fallen Angel Liz immediately became anxious.
“Hey, hey, Lord, are you serious?”
“That’s the Land of Divinefall, you said before that the place is full of unspeakable dangers, didn’t you?”
“Putting aside the fact that I don’t have much close combat ability, just the fact that I hate demon armies, can you really rest assured?”
“Wait, you bastard, you’re not planning to send me just because I can be resurrected, are you?”
Looking at the Fallen Angel Liz, who looked resistant, Wu Wei smiled.
There was no way around it, Liz, whose authority was laziness, was always one to slack off if she could.
It was indeed a bit difficult to get her to take the initiative to do such a dangerous thing.
However, Wu Wei was not worried about this problem.
“What if I said…”
“Inside the Land of Divinefall you are about to go to, there is a super-large secret laboratory, what would you think?”
“Tch, just a secret laboratory.”
“It’s nothing, I’m someone who has been to a Deep Abyss Overlord's laboratory, although I was only responsible for cleaning, I still don’t care about a mere laboratory.”
Although she said so, Liz's expression had changed.
She really wanted to go, but she was just afraid of danger.
After all, the Olsen family that Liz belonged to was the most enthusiastic group in the entire Fallen Angel family about obtaining knowledge.
Knowledge, especially those hidden or forbidden knowledge, fascinated them even more.
“Then what if I said that inside this secret laboratory, there exists a special creature whose most of the structure is plant-based and a small part is animal-based, what would you think?”
“Uh…”
The Fallen Angel was stunned for a moment.
To be honest, these two points combined were very tempting.
But Wu Wei knew it wasn't enough, so he prepared to raise the stakes again.
“And most importantly, outside this secret laboratory, there are a huge number of silver metal fragments!”
“These metal fragments are the same type as the silver ball I obtained before, a special metal that can isolate the effects of Chaos!”
Hearing Wu Wei say this, the Fallen Angel Liz, who had been looking reluctant, fell silent.
After thinking for a while, Liz raised her head and said to Wu Wei.
“Cough cough…”
“When I get these silver metals, I demand that half of them be directly allocated as my spoils of war!”
“This is a must!”
Hearing Liz's request, Wu Wei nodded, indicating his agreement.
“Okay.”
To be honest, Wu Wei didn't care that Liz would take half of these metal fragments.
Because for him, the quantity of these metal fragments didn't have any meaning.
Mastering the manufacturing process of this metal was the most crucial thing.
That's why Wu Wei was so generous at this time.
“No problem!”
After the Fallen Angel Liz agreed, Wu Wei immediately returned to the Eternal Night City where Carlos was located without stopping.
The reason why Wu Wei wanted to return here was that, in addition to the help of this “excellent woman,” the Fallen Angel Liz, he also needed the help of another excellent lady.
That was the help of the blood elf lady, Sophia.
But as you can imagine, Sophia, under these circumstances, would definitely not help Wu Wei willingly.
After all…
“You damned bastard, let me out!”
Sophia, who was trapped firmly in place by Druid's Bone Prison spell, roared as soon as she saw Wu Wei.
This beautiful woman, who claimed to be the Iron-Blooded Duke's mistress, no longer had her previous elegant and charming appearance, but instead became a ferocious tigress.
“Did you hear me, let me out!”
“Okay.”
“You… ah?!”
After saying that, Wu Wei snapped his fingers, releasing Sophia from the Bone Prison spell.
Sophia, who originally thought that Wu Wei would continue to imprison her, was stunned in place when she heard Wu Wei say okay.
After all, she thought she would encounter something because of her excessive beauty, but she really didn't expect the plot to unfold like this.
But at this time, Sophia was already afraid of Wu Wei, this pervert.
As soon as she was released, she immediately fled outside.
But unfortunately, Wu Wei couldn't let her go.
So Carlos, who had been waiting at the door, reached out and grabbed Sophia's neck, pulling her back.
“Let go, let go of me, I will never go to that damned Land of Divinefall no matter what!”
Sophia struggled and tried to explain.
“The danger of the Land of Divinefall is too high.”
“Even demigod powerhouses cannot guarantee that they will return alive.”
“I know…”
“That’s why I want you to go there in person.”
Carlos had said before that Sophia, this blood elf lady, was one of the strongest explorers in the entire Lord Era, so in order for his plan to succeed, Wu Wei could only let Sophia lead the team in person.
However, judging from Sophia's appearance, it was difficult for Wu Wei to get her to go willingly.
And more importantly, just being willing was not enough.
What Wu Wei really needed was a “puppet.”
So Wu Wei looked at Sophia, who was struggling in front of him, and slowly took out a black and red book from his personal space.
Then, Wu Wei placed one hand on the Abyss Codex and the other on Lady Sophia's forehead.
A baptism ceremony aimed at Lady Sophia was about to begin.
