In the past two days, Li Ang has been searching nearby for the 'day time' he wanted.
Aigrem also wandered around Payne Village for a few times, probably looking for Heretic Codex, which is Abyssal Gate.
However, as Wendy arrived with the Noldor warriors, Aigrem did not get too close. It seemed to be a little afraid of Noldo Elves.
This is understandable. Regardless of the superb shooting skills of the Noldor, the mere fact that Noldo Elves is naturally forbidden from magic and cannot be made into Fallen One is enough for Aigrem to act cautiously - Aigrem obviously also pursues cost-effectiveness in doing things, and it certainly does not want to suffer too much losses at this time.
Therefore, in the past few days, there has been no fighting around Lion Lake City, and Li Ang has had sufficient preparation time.
"Teacher, do you really want to lure Heavenly Lightning to kill Aigrem?"
Wendy was a little stunned after hearing Li Ang's plan. "Didn't you always say that you don't know magic?"
"Of course I don't know magic, but you can! Wendy, you are Sindar Elves, don't doubt yourself... Yes, just saw off the top part of the tree..."
Li Ang answered while instructing several Noldo Ranger to climb the tree.
"I don't know if I am Sindar... What on earth are you doing?"
Wendy curled his lips and looked at those tall trees, feeling a little helpless.
"Chopping down trees... I asked them to cut the tops of these trees shorter, you heard me..."
Li Ang took a few steps back, gestured, and nodded. "Now, if there is thunder nearby, it will definitely hit."
In order to ensure the success of the plan, Li Ang plans to cut off the tops of several other giant trees, leaving only the tallest one.
Wendy sighed, "But, you don't need to make an altar or something to attract Heavenly Lightning? Can just cutting down a tree be enough?"
"That makes sense..."
Li Ang turned back and looked at Wendy: "You should really make an altar... You still have to go through the process of praying for rain! Wendy, go change into suitable clothes, and you can arrange a sacrifice..."
"Lord Li Ang said he wanted to pray to Creator God to send down thunder to kill Aigrem... Does his elf student really have magic power?"
"Who knows... but Wendy does look like she can do magic. Look at her eyes, they are completely different from Risadiran..."
"Sir Roland, are all these Noldo Elves the guards of Lord Li Ang? Isn't it said that only magicians can make the Noldor obey? Lord Li Ang can also do magic?"
"He shouldn't be able to... Your Excellency Gondor, Lord Li Ang got help from the Noldor with his wisdom and virtue. He can lead Noldo Elves to no longer be enemies of mankind. This is a good thing that benefits all people..."
"How can you pray for thunder without magic? Could it be that you rely on some kind of witchcraft?"
"Witchcraft? Only the prophetess imprisoned in the camp knows that stuff...Wendy doesn't look like a witch. I believe she is a messenger of God."
Several human leaders were whispering.
Sir Roland and Calamity Seeker Gondor probably have relatively good tempers. Although one is the upright Paladin and the other is a pirate who has done many bad things, they have become friends in these two days.
Probably, if Gondor had not met Three Prophets and was not deceived into seeking a life at sea, he might have become an upright knight.
Afternoon.
The hot summer sun scorched the ground, but most people in the camp still braved the scorching sun and came to the hillside chosen by Li Ang.
The elves have completed the renovation work on the giant tree, and a sacrificial event is about to be held.
Wendy put on a gorgeous robe. This was the first time Li Ang saw Noldo Elves wearing a dress. The cyan fabric looked very much like silk, with silver threads embedded on it. The silver threads formed a mysterious and magnificent pattern.
This kind of robe is very precious and can be called a top-notch work of art - it is a masterpiece of another Noldo Elves tribe, the 'Finwë' family, which is the tribe of Elf King Keleborniel who has always been in Alaclay city and never participated in the war.
That robe is actually not made of silk. Pande Continent There are no silkworms, so naturally there is no silk.
But Noldo Elves people do inherit the technique of spinning silk and peeling cocoons - this brocade robe is actually made of the cocoon silk of a moth in the forest.
However, the silk extracted from the cocoon of this moth has many broken ends and a very low silk yield rate, which makes it impossible for the Noldor to cultivate this moth artificially - otherwise, the caterpillars will eat up the surrounding trees but not produce enough silk to make a piece of clothing. This may even cause a large-scale insect infestation that can destroy the forest, which is not worth the loss.
Therefore, the elves can only follow nature. They usually look for such moth cocoons and slowly accumulate cocoon silk. It will take many years to accumulate enough silk thread to make a robe.
In other words, elves have a long lifespan, but humans cannot afford to wait.
Therefore, only the descendants of Elf King will have such a brocade robe. No nobles like Risadiran have such good things - this was once a valuable item that only high-ranking Sindar Elves could wear.
A group of adult elves who studied art used the rarest materials and carefully crafted robes with enchanted techniques. This can be said to be the most exquisite clothing in the entire continent.
Wendy After putting on this robe, she really looks like a divine messenger, or even a fairy.
Even Li Ang can't take his eyes away...
The graceful figure of the elf girl is completely highlighted by the brocade robe tied around her waist. Her long legs and waistline create a breathtaking scenery. She is indeed much more beautiful than when she wears armor.
Especially her bright purple eyes, which seemed to be shining against the backdrop of the green and silver robe.
Li Ang feels that this should be Wendy's daily dress from now on - Sindar must of course look like Sindar...
Wendy didn't know that her teacher had planned a path for her to reach the top of her life, and she was arranging the sacrifices very seriously.
In fact, the sacrifices arranged by Wendy have nothing to do with the gods, because Noldo Elves does not worship gods, they only worship their ancestors.
Even in ancient times, Noldo Elves would not worship gods, but they would make offerings to Sindar Elves - to them, Sindar Elves is God.
According to Risadiran and Wendy, immortal races such as elves, dragons, and Titan Giant do not worship gods. In their legends, the ancestors of these races have much stronger abilities than gods, and there were no gods in the entire world at that time.
For Li Ang, this kind of worship of ancestors is very familiar to him... Everyone in the Celestial Dynasty is familiar with it.
Moreover, the worship scene arranged by Wendy also made him feel very friendly - under the tallest giant tree, Wendy asked the Noldor to make several wooden plaques with some runes that Li Ang could not understand.
Then, she took Risadiran and other Noldor nobles to kneel on the ground and chant some incantation, scattered some faintly glowing magic silver coins under the tree, and took turns going up to the tree to insert incense made from some shrub branches...
The spiritual place... kneel down... spread money... insert incense?
Isn't this just visiting the grave?
Li Ang was stunned when he saw it, almost thinking that the operational procedures of the Celestial Dynasty Cemetery had been leaked to another world...
Except that there are no candles, there is no difference!
Moreover, this magic silver coin is actually engraved with lighting runes, which also acts as a candle...
In a daze, Li Ang even felt like he had traveled through time again.
In fact, this is just a coincidence. They are all worshiping ancestors. The process is indeed very similar.
In the culture of the Noldor, the souls of ancestors are immortal and omnipresent, and the illumination runes are to allow the souls of ancestors to see these descendants;
Incense is used to keep oneself clean and smell-free so that the ancestors will not be unhappy when they see it;
It is a normal practice to kneel down and bow down. It is natural to kowtow to your ancestors, talk about the current situation of the younger generations, and ask for blessings from your ancestors...
So Li Ang simply participated.
However, he did not face the wooden sign made by the Noldor, but faced the clouds gradually drifting in the southern sky.
According to tradition, the ancestors of the Celestial Dynasty people generally live in heaven.
"Ancestors bless me and let me find my way home..."
Just after these words were spoken, Li Ang, who was kneeling on the ground and bowing in obeisance, heard an exclamation from behind him.
"Teacher... look, look at the sky!"
Wendy's surprised voice came. "The ancestors responded to our request!"
And more Noldo Elves were whispering, but when they looked at Li Ang and Wendy, their eyes were full of hope and joy.
The other human troops looked around, all with shocked looks on their faces - Lord Li Ang asked Wendy to pray for rain, but the dark clouds came immediately?
Li Ang raised his head, and in the southern sky, the originally light clouds were gathering here, and the clouds were accumulating, gradually covering the blue sky.
Maybe the ancestors can indeed appear, maybe Wendy does have powerful magic power, or maybe Wendy's dress made Creator God see the existence of Sindar.
Anyway, just as this collective grave-visiting activity to worship ancestors had just ended, the sky not far away from the south was covered with clouds, and the originally sunny sky gradually darkened...
The south wind is coming!
Li Ang looked up at the top of the giant tree, and the leaves were shaking back and forth.
This is convective weather - summer afternoon convective rain!
This must be a thunderstorm!
"Ha! You did it - control the wind and rain! Wendy, you are already the most advanced Sindar magician!"
Li Ang said loudly with a smile.
Wendy was in a daze. "But I didn't do anything... I just prayed to my ancestors to make everything go smoothly for us..."
"Yes, pray. But 'response to requests' is the most powerful magic. It also has a name, called 'Holy Word'!"
Li Ang looked back at Wendy and blinked. "Wendy, continue to pray, ask the ancestors to lower Heavenly Lightning and destroy the evil abyss demon..."
After speaking, he waved to Risadiran and Sir Roland.
"Everyone, prepare for war as planned!"
Then, he took Risadiran, Noldo Guard, and Roland with his own men, and at the same time he mounted his horse and headed straight to the northwest in two directions, which is where Aigrem is.
Li Ang is actually confident about attracting Aigrem.
Because Roland is carrying Abyssal Gate.
Speaking of which, Li Ang actually understands Aigrem a little bit. Because he, like Aigrem, is a soul summoned from another world.
He knows what Aigrem wants...
To be honest, if Li Ang knew how to summon people from his original world, he would definitely do it... especially summoning relatives or friends.
Because of loneliness.
In the past few years, although he has made many friends at the Pande Continent, Li Ang is still lonely in his heart.
It's not that these friends are not sincere enough, but there is a cognitive inconsistency that cannot be resolved.
The root cause of a person's loneliness is actually that he cannot find a fellow traveler who agrees with him--that's why there is such a saying as "One confidant is enough in life".
Li Ang has already actively integrated into Pandor, and if he still feels this way, then Aigrem, a non-human being, is naturally even more lonely.
So Aigrem wants to find Abyssal Gate and summon its lover...
Li Ang knows that as long as Abyssal Gate appears in front of Aigrem, it will definitely chase it unless it confirms that it cannot catch up - just like Roland did when it lured it away before.
But Li Ang is also very worried. He is worried that the thin Noldor blood in his body cannot completely ban demons, and he is worried that he will be affected by Aigrem's soul spell.
Speaking of which, seducing Aigrem should be done by Noldo Elves, such as Risadiran.
But Li Ang is not sure whether Aigrem will pursue Noldo Elves - it seems to be very afraid of Nodo.
So this job can only be done by Roland.
Roland went to seduce Aigrem. Li Ang had to pay attention to the progress throughout the process, so he himself could not stay under the giant tree. He had to work with Risadiran to support Roland to ensure that Aigrem's route did not go astray.
Li Ang must lead Aigrem to the established lightning strike area.
At the same time, it is difficult for Noldo Elves to understand the physics knowledge related to electricity. Li Ang must be present throughout the whole process. If he is not here, just letting the Noldor do this will probably lead to the end of the same death.
They may not even be able to die together. Li Ang is not sure whether the lightning can succeed, nor is he sure whether Aigrem can be killed after success.
Aigrem is actually very close to each other. Its large army surrounds Lion Lake City, but it has been wandering between Lion Lake City and Payne Village, only a dozen miles away from the giant tree.
It has probably been staring at Li Ang's troops, and it is obviously obsessed with Abyssal Gate.
When Roland appeared in front of Aigrem holding Abyssal Gate, Aigrem started the pursuit without hesitation.
This time, it's much faster than before.
It has a brand new demon horse and many cavalry.
There are more than a hundred Fallen Ghost riding demonic horses, and countless Fallen Warrior riding terrifying flesh-and-blood horses.
This guy can turn even horses into fallen war horses - those horses also have no skin, and their eyeballs are exposed, making them look scarier than skinless people.
It seems that Aigrem has not been fooling around in the past few days. It has probably been strengthening its military strength. Although the quantity of Fallen One has not increased significantly, its quality has improved a lot.
The source of most of the horses was probably the troops of Raven Sir Boris, as well as the reinforcements of Dawn Knight Order and Aiding - they abandoned many horses in order to break through and enter the city, and Boris's extremely majestic horse also fell into the hands of Aigrem.
