Modo City.

It was a relatively busy and fulfilling day. Apart from a faint smell of salted fish floating in the sky over the whole city, there was nothing too troublesome.

Everyone has eaten so much during this time!

The price of fresh fish in the tavern has dropped to a third of the original price. Basically, every household in Modo City has some fresh fish in stock, and the rest is urgently made into salted fish and dried. The fish pine thing, Sauron can still come up with a lot of effort, but a god should not focus on it at all, so Modo City's way of dealing with too many catches is to make dried salted fish. This is the easiest way, and there is no need to worry about salt in the sea area.

Some of the low-level wizard apprentices in Modo City have already started to study alchemy. For alchemy, purifying salt is only the most basic thing.

However, the difficulty of purification is still relatively high at present, and there is no problem in making white salt on a small scale.

On a large scale, it is still slightly bitter sea salt.

The high-level core of Modo City does not have the energy and time to focus on such trivial matters. Maybe they will consider applying high-end alchemy to people's livelihood in the future.

This period should be the best time for slaves and hard laborers in Modo City.

After working every day, you can have enough to eat. Not only do you have fish and meat, but you can also find all kinds of fresh seafood from the cauldron.

During this period, people didn't like to eat this stuff, and many of them were eaten as junk food for slaves.

The days just passed by.

Holding his fingers, he was getting closer and closer to the second wave of the abyss demon that Sauron secretly confessed. On this day, something big or small happened in Modo City.

The time is at noon.

Suddenly, a strange light appeared in the sky, and then the light streaked across the sky like a meteor, falling directly to a row of buildings on the left side of Modo City.

"what!?"

In the great half-elf temple in the center of Modo City, the figure of the chief priest appeared out of thin air. She looked up at the sky in confusion, and murmured, "Heaven descends from the sky!?"

The pale golden brilliance is not very conspicuous during the day.

This ray of light fell directly into a tall building. Then all the light disappeared, as if everything just happened was an illusion.

Teleport spells.

The chief priest in a snow-white robe instantly teleported to the position where the divine light fell, and then she glanced at the Jianzu group in front of her, and murmured, "Saruman?!"

The location where the divine radiance fell is the second largest laboratory in Modo City.

This is a restricted area for ordinary people. Because there are many dangerous plants planted here, the divine light falls over Saruman's laboratory. With the strength of the chief priest, he can clearly see the pale golden light inside through the magic light.

Divine radiance!

At the same time, an aura also appeared in the central mansion of Modo City, and then Gloria also appeared beside the chief priest.

"what happened?"

Gloria's expression seemed a little puzzled. The defense circle of Modo City has always been presided over by her, so the energy fluctuations just now cannot escape her eyes.

The chief priest's expression was rather solemn, and he said slowly: "Saruman seems to have obtained some incredible opportunity!"

Gloria was stunned when she heard the words, and then sensed the changes in the laboratory.

………………

Alchemy Laboratory.

Saruman's expression was dull at the moment, and everything that just happened was an instant change.

Even, even he himself hadn't figured out what was going on until now. He only felt a golden light falling into his body, and then his whole mind changed amazingly, as if his mind suddenly became enlightened. , Many things that were not understood before can now be clearly understood. And inexplicably, he actually came up with an extra spell.

God-sent magic!

This is not an advanced spell, but it was not invented by Saruman, but a spell given to him by the power of God or the law.

"This!?……"

Saruman looked at his hands in amazement, and then his eyes fell on the test bench in front of him, which was a result of his recent research.

A simpler and more efficient fertilizer.

Because of the purification of alchemy, it seems to have a hint of golden color. These small particles are the crystallization of Saruman's third experiment, and the yield and effect are much higher than the original simple processing fertilizer.

certainly.

These alchemy fertilizers are not for crops. As an aspiring wizard, how could Saruman be willing to be a farmer. He purifies this fertilizer entirely to further cultivate mutant plants.

To put it simply, this is a fertilizer with a hint of magic that is made to improve its combat effectiveness.

but!

An unexpected thing happened. Just when this alchemy achievement was completed, he was directly fed back by a spell from the world. At the same time, he also faintly found that he had a little more divine power.

Incredible!

Although Saruman's strength has improved rapidly after researching, the divine nature is still unreachable.

There was a trace of expectation in my heart.

Saruman slowly pushed away the laboratory, and the figures of the chief priest and Gloria appeared in front of him. Even though he had just obtained the god-sent spell and also obtained a touch of divinity, Saruman still knew that he needed to maintain humble. So he leaned slightly towards the two legendary women in front of him and said, "Your Excellency Gloria! Your Excellency Chief Priest!  …"

"Has the situation just now alarmed you?"

The chief priest saw more than Gloria, and she smiled slightly: "Congratulations! It seems that you have come farther than us."

Saruman maintained his humility, but a smile appeared on his face.

He is very clear that even if he has acquired a trace of divinity, he is still an insignificant figure to the supreme ruler of Modo City, His Excellency Sauron.

He has just gained a new starting point and is still far from the road ahead.

"Let's see what abilities you have acquired?"

The chief priest smiled and turned his eyes to Gloria, who was a little puzzled next to him, indicating that she would understand what happened next.

Saruman nodded and said, "Yes."

"I just realized something, maybe the two of you can give me some pointers."

Some pale golden particles appeared in Saruman's palm.

This is exactly what he has just fully researched, a more efficient fertilizer for cultivating enchanted plants, and the casting material for a new spell he has just acquired.

Incredible!

The new spell is actually cast with this result as the core material.

- "Fertility Art!"

A faint magic light appeared, and with the magic light emerging from Saruman, those small pale golden particles dissipated with the wind, and then turned into a little light and fell into the soil in front of him.

Nothing has changed.

At least it looks like nothing has changed. But none of the people present were ordinary people, and the chief priest's expression suddenly became solemn, and then he smiled and said, "Congratulations!"

This is her second time saying congratulations.

The ground doesn't seem to have changed much, but it actually does. The land became more fertile.

A godsend spell that is not aggressive.

The effect of the spell is to use Saruman's just-completed experimental results as materials to display an effect similar to the 'fertility spell', making the barren land more fertile.

It doesn't look like much.

But it has a very deep meaning.

Because this is the domain of the gods, Saruman's research has begun to feed back to the material plane, and the Temple of Agriculture took away the first batch of fertilizers he researched. And it has begun to be promoted in many places.

The realm and vocation of the Goddess of Agriculture includes [Abundance]!

However, the core of Saruman's God-given spell is a vague "fertility", which is an ability belonging to the field of abundance, but it is more inclined to the unnatural field, a result of artificial efforts.

This is the law and the mortals give back.

It appears that Saruman's first batch of fertilizers has begun to give him some information that belongs to the realm of the gods.

As the high priest in charge of the temple church for Sauron, the chief priest saw more things. What Saruman obtained was not only a spell and a bit of divinity, but a ladder that might make him advance into a god.

【Fertile】Field!

This seems to be a nascent field, and if Saruman can further influence reality and gain a little faith for himself, then he has the potential to master the [fertile] priesthood.

A priesthood where all farming races can be affected!

Maybe not strong enough.

But for a mortal. It's already a great opportunity!

………………

[Remarks: Saruman gets 1 point of God-given divinity, and obtains the God-given spell 'fertility'. 】

………………

The Material Plane has its own rules.

It's like the druids who are active in the front line of the desert of death all the year round. They may be advanced by natural feedback to become [tree shepherds], and thus master the field of [plants].

What is happening to Saruman now is a feedback from the Material Plane!

A little bit of unremarkable feedback.

But it is Saruman's ladder leading to the path of the gods. This is the orthodox path of the aborigines in the material plane. After obtaining this divine nature, Saruman has the possibility of becoming a demigod.

By influencing the entire material plane little by little, he can gradually accumulate primordial divinity, and then slowly transform into a demigod.

Without the help of other gods, this process can take hundreds of years. Then after becoming a [Demigod], Saruman needs to form a small church of his own, or serve and follow his own organization, so as to slowly cultivate the power of the godhead. Then, after spending hundreds of years, he stepped into the realm of [False God].

At this time, if he publicly declares himself to be a god, he will be attacked by other churches as a [false god].

But if he continues to develop slowly, and continues to spend hundreds of years accumulating his own strength and belief, when his existence has been known and accepted by more and more mortal beings and gods, Saruman, whose own strength has reached a critical point With this, you can consecrate the gods and master the field and priesthood of [fertile]. In the end, he became a god of [weak divine power]. Of course, the premise of everything is that he can live, his divinity and domain will not be plundered by other gods, and he will not die in the hands of powerful legendary adventurers.

This period can take hundreds of years.

In the long history of the material plane, some mortals took this opportunity to become divine creatures, and then slowly entered the realm of gods.

This is how the gods of some [weak divine powers] appear in the Pantheon.

However, these [weak divine power] gods are very weak. After becoming true gods, they often need to serve and follow some powerful gods, so as to ensure their own safety and not be killed by other gods who covet their power and priesthood. .

If there is no catastrophe of the saints, Saruman may be absorbed under the command of the gods with the priesthood of [Abundance], as their servants or gods, just like the goddesses of weak powers sheltered by the goddess of agriculture. One of them is the spiritual incarnation of nature, a faint deity who was promoted by a divine water spirit hundreds of years ago.

but.

Now is the period of the catastrophe of the saints, a period of great danger but also full of opportunities.

If Saruman can get the help of other gods, then the time for him to accumulate divinity and priesthood will be greatly shortened. For some powerful gods, the accumulation of hundreds of years is only a matter of spending a little strength to promote. A person with the seed of divinity like him is far more likely to become a god than other mortals, and the cost of promoting him is much lower.

Saruman gets a high starting point.

But the foundation of this starting point is not stable. He must first master the power of the [fertile] field before it is possible to further encroach on the realm of the gods.

As a wizard, Saruman is still a little weak.

Although his strength has improved rapidly during this period, the wizard professional level is only about 17, and he is still a long way from the domain ability of the legendary realm.

It is difficult for him to become a true divine creature without touching the threshold of the legendary realm.

Even with today's opportunity, he still needs to make a lot of effort to enter the legendary realm, and then it is possible to peep into the threshold of the demigods.

no doubt.

Saruman was very fortunate, because the Temple of Agriculture was responsible for promoting the fertilizers he made. The operation of a church was a bit special in itself, and it was naturally completely different for those mortals who were affected by fertilizers. If these things are handed over to a chamber of commerce, then the mortals who get the fertilizer will not have some belief changes that are biased towards the realm of the gods, and it is completely impossible for Saruman to obtain the divine nature of today, let alone that Easily peer into the realm of the gods.

Anyway.

He is indeed standing on a new level now. As a potential mortal who may be conferred a god, Modo City will definitely give him more attention and resources in the future.
