Never Thought You'd Be This Kind of Hero!
Chapter 79
The four lords all had "things" that they entrusted their lives to. From their titles, it could be seen that in the beginning, their lives were also closely related to the things that they entrusted their lives to.
If all the icebergs had melted 100,000 years ago, then the Ice Lord might have died. Perhaps the new icebergs would have given birth to a new Ice Lord, but his soul would not be the same.
For the various races in Godzilla's continent, the essence of life was the same.
Humans were born from the mother, elves were born from the Tree of Life or even more mixed elemental clusters, and they, who were known as "the strongest beings closest to God," were born from heaven and earth.
Until now, the "things" that gave birth to them were very important to them. For example, when the weather was cold, the Ice Lord's strength would increase a little, and when disasters came, the Dreadlord would gain more fear. But with their strength, these improvements and changes were too small, and they did not care.
However, if Your Majesty The Demon King wanted to thoroughly study the Demon Abyss, it would inevitably affect the Lord Of The Deep.
So, it was necessary to inform him.
After talking to the other three lords (including the head of the Flame Lord) for a day and a night, they came up with a plan. Because the Dark Abyss had been in disrepair for a long time and did not have a maintenance complex, it was now dirty from the inside to the outside. The real inner wall could no longer be seen. Thick and sticky blood, mucus, and broken limbs hung on it, emitting a foul smell.
So Roshyank The Devil and the others … had not been close to the Dark Abyss for several years.
Even the Lord of the Abyss himself didn't want to look at the "mother" that gave birth to him. To be honest, it was one thing for others to look down on the Dark Abyss's garbage dump, but he actually followed suit. He really had no conscience at all.
Even the proper and indifferent Ice Lord felt that the Dark Abyss was not worth it.
So the person who had to inform the Lord Of The Deep Seur about this matter was the Ice Lord Vize. He thought for a while and wrote a letter to the bone bird.
"Dear Seur,
Recently, the race had initiated a hygiene inspection. Be it the ice plains, the volcanoes, or the fear in the hearts of the people, everything had passed the 'hygiene inspection' target. Only the Dark Abyss did not meet the target due to its excessive filth and disarray.
Now, Your Majesty The Demon King has ordered me to clean the Dark Abyss. After five o 'clock, the Dark Abyss will be frozen and the filth will be removed.
Another: Come back and pay me, don't forget.
The Ice Lord Vize. "
Five o 'clock was five hours from now — this method of calculating time was very similar to Xu Jun's original world.
God's Blessing's original timekeeping system was God's Time. That was because time was defined by God.
Later on, when the old gods fell, some races did not believe in gods, while some races believed in new gods that they "created" themselves (for example, the God of Light was probably created by humans and did not actually exist). Thus, the word "god" was removed and became "time".
Five o 'clock was not a long time, but it was not short either. The Ice Lord and the Lord Of The Deep could talk to each other through telepathy, but that would consume too much mental power. Their long-distance telepathy was not the same as a long-distance phone call.
It was just that … the Ice Lord was too lazy to fly. _ (: 3. ∠) _
He walked to the edge of the Dark Abyss, where Roshyank The Devil and the others were already watching.
"Are you sure you want to use the freezing method?" The Ice Lord made a final confirmation.
The Fire Lord shook his head. "Of course it's freezing. I can't use fire. I can't control such a large fire spell right now."
If the spell was not controlled well, it might destroy the Dark Abyss. That was not a big deal, since the Dark Abyss could be rebuilt, but the Lord Of The Deep … would also be affected.
It was all thanks to the Ice Lord.
Few people could understand the magic words that the Ice Lord Vize chanted. It was the language of the gods during the Great War of Gods and Devils tens of thousands of years ago. Now, it could be called "ancient."
The languages of the various races and the common language used on the continent of God's Favored were related to the ancient magic words. After removing the parts that were difficult to pronounce and contained powerful magic elements, it was more or less the language that people spoke now.
If there were people at the level of a Great Mage watching, they would be surprised to find that every word that the Ice Lord said contained a lot of magic power. Now, magicians could also use these "words". They called them spells or curses, but no matter how powerful a magician was, they could not use so many high-level magic words in a row.
The physical and mental strength of ordinary intelligent creatures was far from that. If they had to bear such great pressure, they would collapse very quickly.
The Ice Lord rose slowly and stood right above the Dark Abyss.
Looking from the side, one would often overlook a large circle around the Dark Abyss because it was still possible to stand on it. But looking from above, one could see the whole picture of the huge passage. It turned out that the ground they were standing on was already inside the passage. The color was different from the surrounding soil. It was pitch black that could not be stained.
This was the Dark Abyss in a narrow sense.
The Dark Abyss in a broad sense … of course, referred to the entire rift valley in the east of the Snow Blade Kingdom.
But the Dark Abyss in a narrow sense was very vast, like a mouth open to the sky.
When the last magic word was chanted, snowflakes fell from the sky, and the air seemed to freeze.
The Dark Abyss turned into a huge frozen cave.
"Achoo —!!!"
The Lord Of The Deep sneezed loudly. Just now, he felt extremely cold from the inside out. His heart seemed to have shrunk into a ball. In fact, the heart was just an ordinary organ to him, and it could be regenerated. Even so, the expansion and contraction of the heat from his heart to his skin made him very uncomfortable. He felt like he was going to die in an instant.
"… What … What happened —!!!"
Just when he was still in shock and wondering if he had been plotted against, a petite bone bird flew in front of him. It was holding a letter that was bigger than itself in its beak. It flew unsteadily, and it seemed to have delivered the letter all the way from a distant place.
The small bird's skeleton was loose, and there seemed to be something black and white in the middle of the sparse bones. Could it be an ornament?
The Lord of the Abyss extended his hand to open the letter. The black pearl embedded in his eye sockets also spun with mosquito coils.
The bird flapped its wings and stretched its left claw forward. It curled up and opened it again, drawing a "four".
The Lord Of The Deep was speechless. Then he tentatively grabbed four silver coins and put them in the gap of the bird's back.
The silver coins slid in with a crisp sound. The Lord Of The Deep then realized that the black and white ornaments in the bones of the little bone bird … turned out to be copper and silver coins one by one.
Some were a little darker because too much time had passed, and there was a layer of dust on them.
"All demons must be reorganized. All demons must be paid for their labor, including bone birds and bone horses."
← And so, the Lord Of The Deep remembered that five days ago … the latest document that the Fear Overlord had issued from the Demon King's palace.
So this is what the so-called payment for labor is!!!
The bird finally put the letter in the Lord Of The Deep's hands.
After opening the letter, the Lord Of The Deep looked at the familiar handwriting and fell into silence.
— You froze me half to death, and I still have to thank you?!!!
The Ice Lord was also a little speechless.
He never knew … that the Dark Abyss actually had this!
Was it!
Dirty!
Ten meters of the surrounding earth walls were covered in dirty mud!
For so many years, the demon army had moved through this passage to the surface. High-level demons were still fine as they could grow wings and fly up directly. Middle-level demons could still endure it if they climbed fast. But the lowest-level wraiths and ghouls were slow and sluggish, and their bodies were relatively fragile. When they climbed up through the passage of the Dark Abyss, they left behind a lot of sweat and mucus.
This mucus was spread together with the dust that had been blown over over the years, and it fermented and became even more disgusting.
But because a large number of demons climbed up through here every year, and the Dark Abyss was too wide, there was no way to clean it, so no one had ever cared.
So now, after the Ice Lord froze and shattered all the thick and sticky inner walls of the Dark Abyss, he looked at the thick layer of "frozen garbage" piled up at the bottom of the Dark Abyss. He … Oh, he suddenly felt like vomiting. _ (: 3. ∠) _
— The only consolation was that the reason why the low-level wraiths were devoured by the Fear Overlord was not in this garbage, because what the Ice Lord felt was that this sludge and mucus were really just ordinary … dirty sludge and mucus.
The Fear Overlord hugged the Flame Overlord's head and stretched his head out to look. "Ah!
It's much cleaner! "
"Vize, you must ask Seur for more money!
This cleaning job is too good! "
The Ice Lord Vize said, "… Well, I'll make him bankrupt."
This sentence was said with gritted teeth.
The frozen garbage that floated down was swept away by the scavengers in hell, making the entire Dark Abyss appear as smooth and clean as a mirror from top to bottom. It did not seem to have any problems. It was dead and would not move.
When the Demon King Roschinke put his hand on the wall, he did not feel any difference.
"Hmm?"
Your Majesty The Demon King pressed his palm down slightly and frowned. This small piece of the wall was not real, and there was a small, badge-like hole below.
It was as if something had been embedded here.
— At the distant Northern Coalition Army's front line, the Lord Of The Deep, who was overseeing the battlefield, suddenly adjusted his collar with a strange expression.
"Eh, why do I suddenly feel like my clothes have been stripped off …"
It seems that the Dark Abyss being completely cleaned did have some effect on the Lord Of The Deep. _ (: 3. ∠) _
The author has something to say: The Lord Of The Deep: I need to make it clear that I love cleanliness!
I bathe every day!
Don't judge me based on the state of the Dark Abyss!!!
The Ice Lord: … Oh, Sheng Hui, five million black magic crystals, thank you, and an additional one million gold coins as compensation for my mental trauma.
I didn't expect you to be such a brave person!
