Chapter 556 Michaela’s real plan!

Melina was silent for a long time before she finally spoke: "...I understand why she always said that you acted unexpectedly. How did you think of taking Michaela's body away?"

Li You said calmly, "It's okay, I just thought it might be useful."

Melina looked at the puzzle in Li You's hand, thought for a moment and said, "This flesh and blood still contains power. If Torina can absorb it, it will indeed help her condition... But I can't think of how to do it. Torina has almost lost consciousness and can't actively absorb it."

"As long as it's confirmed to be useful, I'll think of a solution." Li You was very optimistic. After a little thought, he had an idea.

"V, come and help me, drag Hurier to the side."

When Xu Liye woke up slowly from his coma, what he saw was the back of Li You who was digging the soil next to Tolina.

Hullie: “?”

"What are you doing again..."

Li You turned around and looked at him, and said, "Are you awake? Don't worry, I'm trying to find a way to help Tolina."

Xu Liye opened his mouth, but no sound came out. He was so shocked that his thoughts stopped for a moment.

While he was stunned, Li You had carefully dug a small hole at the root of Torina, then threw Michaela's body parts into it, filled it with soil, and poured his own healing gourd potion into it.

Melina on the side looked at Li You's operation with some surprise. When the ground where Michaela's body was buried glowed faintly and was then slowly absorbed by Torina's flower stems, even she opened her mouth unconsciously.

“There is actually such a method?”

Li You looked at the purple flower that Tolina had transformed into, which was constantly absorbing nutrients through its roots, and smiled: "After all, she has become like this, so of course, giving her some fertilizer will solve the problem, right?"

Even Melina was unable to come back to her senses for a while, and when Hurryer saw the flowers of Torina, who was obviously more alert, he was stunned.

But Li You didn't give him much time to think. He came to him and pulled him up: "Okay, do you know what to do next?"

Xu Liye felt that his soul was covered by a chill, and asked with a trembling voice: "What did you say?"

Li You smiled and said, "Do you still need to ask? In order to help your lady Tolina, we are going to collect Michaela's body parts and supply them to Tolina!"

Xu Liye seemed to be struck by thunder: "You, you...how could you let me do such a thing, you are simply a devil!"

Li Youze let him go and let him fall to the ground: "It's up to you then? To be honest, if you could hear Torina's voice, I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble. If you could be of use, it would save us all trouble... Can you hear me?"

Hurier was silent for a moment.

"So anyway, I'm leaving now. I'll go to the Cross on the Azure Coast first. It's up to you whether you can come or not."

Having said that, Li You called V and left the deep purple garden.

——Not long after, at the fork in the road at Cemetery Plain.

Li You stood in front of the cross sign here, raised the spiral sword, infused it with a trace of divine power, and smashed it down swiftly!
“Crack!!”

The cross sign broke with a sound, and Li You continued with two swords, breaking the barrier and taking out Michaela's body parts.

"Then there is... the one going up from here, at the entrance to Tower Town." Li You still remembered the simple map that the Horned Man had given him before, and he immediately activated the blessing to teleport over.

He has come to this blessing place many times. After all, Ampah was guarding here before, but now only Moore is left.

However, it was somewhat surprising that when Li You and V came here, they found that Xu Liye was also here and was talking to Moore.

"...Mr. Moore, I don't want to be your enemy." Hullie looked at Moore and said, "So please don't stop me. I must...save Lady Tolina."

Moore was still sitting on the ground holding the jar, looking up at Hurier, and said, "...My light is broken too. Lady Michaela's light."

"...But it's still the same. We are companions. So..."

Li You looked over and said, "Xu Liye."

Xu Liye turned his head. Although the mask covered his expression, one could imagine that he must be looking very confused.

But then, he gradually stood up straight, and his tone changed: "...I, after all, have decided to stand on the side of Lady Tolina. So, here I am, tell me what to do."

Li You nodded: "Very good! Then, you can chat with Moore and let him relax."

Hullie: “Ah?”

Li Youze had already drawn out his spiral sword: "Are you going?"

Xu Liye finally came to his senses and stood up in front of Moore: "Yes, that's right! I asked you to help me find something before, you..."

Moore also remembered that incident: "Yes, I searched for it for a long time before I found it. Here..."

He immediately turned around and started searching in the supply box at the back. At this time, Li You had already raised the spiral sword and struck down with two swords!

"Click——"

The moment the cross sign was broken, Li You was quick to pick up the body parts and teleport away.

Moore searched for a long time and finally found a small black jar. He handed it to Hullie and said, "Here you go."

Huliye took it and said repeatedly: "Thank you! Then I'll take my leave!"

But Moore suddenly stopped him: "Mr. Hullier, I want to ask you something."

"…There is something I don't know how to deal with. Please tell me, mother abandons her children, mother doesn't love us. What about the children? Will they be sad all the time?"

Xu Liye was also stunned.

……

After a while, outside Ensis City, at the cross mark beside the western cliff, Li You completed the demolition and grave digging tasks again and obtained another body part of Michaela. "This is the third one. How many more are needed?"

Melina's figure appeared: "At least this shouldn't be enough."

"Then let's continue. Michaela has already scattered her body parts everywhere." Li You was quite open-minded. "It's just right. We can look for the Furnace Golem while we're at it. We can do two things at the same time."

As he was speaking, the blessing beside him lit up and the figure of Hullier emerged: "There is no problem with Mr. Moore."

Li You looked at him and asked, "Didn't he notice?"

Hurier shook his head: "When I left, he had just discovered that the cross sign was broken."

"Okay, then continue."

However, Hullier paused, then spoke again: "Just now, Mr. Moore asked me a question. He asked me what to do if he was always sad."

Li You, who was about to leave, stopped and said, "Huh?"

Hurier explained: "When Lady Michaela's charm takes effect, all of us will forget the painful past and only focus on Lady Michaela. This is true for me, Mr. Moore, and Mr. Ampah."

"But after the charm wore off, all my memories came back, including those painful memories... Mr. Moore is a simple man, so he asked me what I should do."

"How did you answer?" Li You asked.

"I...I said I don't know." Xu Liye was a little disappointed. "I haven't figured it out myself yet, how can I answer other people's questions?"

Li You smiled and said, "This is because everyone has different choices. There is no correct answer. The most I can tell you is that if it were me, I would choose to remember those things."

After hearing this, Xu Liye was also a little absent-minded, but Li You had already turned around and said, "Let's go. We still have to continue picking up trash."

Seeing Li You and V stepping into the blessed teleportation array, Xu Liye woke up as if from a dream and hurriedly chased after them.

……

The next step was very simple. Li You went through them one by one according to the previous records, smashed all the known cross marks, and dug out the body parts.

Finally, when the body-collecting operation was over, a total of eight body parts were collected, including the earliest one.

At the same time, Li You also dealt with three furnace golems near the Shadow City Parish and strengthened the spiral sword again.

The information about these three furnace golems was also provided by Ampah during regular contact, and was the latest discovery of his subordinates.

Li You couldn't help but be amazed. The intelligence capabilities of Ampah's subordinates were indeed quite outstanding.

After dealing with these three furnace golems, the Spiral Sword was only one step away from increasing its flame to +5. According to Li You's estimation, after the Spiral Sword's flame was upgraded again, it should have the ability to burn the Sealed Tree.

However, Li You was not in a hurry to find the next fuel, because at the end of the scheduled contact, Ampah told Li You a piece of news that surprised him.

"...I have solved the mystery and understood Lady Michaela's plan." Ampah said this during the communication.

"You already know that my Lord Monger was bewitched and used by Master Michaela. Master Michaela reached the Shadow Land with the help of Master Monger, but he was not satisfied.

"On top of that, he even wanted to use your remains as a vessel for the king to attach himself to."

"Container?" Li You frowned. "What do you mean?"

"'The return of the gods requires the guidance of the king; the king's soul needs a container to attach to.'" Ampah said, "After Lord Michaela passed through the Gate of God and became a god, he needed the power of the king to lead him back. The king chosen by Lord Michaela is probably only left with a soul, so we must prepare a body and a container for him."

"So, what Lady Michaela needs from Lord Monger is not a soul, but an empty shell... Lady Michaela has definitely never thought about this. This is a shame. My Lord, this is really too sad."

An Pah lamented, and Li You also understood.

So, Michaela planned to use Monger's body as a base, summon his own king's soul, resurrect the man, and then let the king work a miracle to pull him back from outside the Gate of God.

"Mikaela's...king? Could it be..."

Li You couldn't help but think of some hints in the game, and he was inexplicably excited: "Could it be... Godwin, the eldest son of Gefulei and Marica!?"

The crown prince of the Golden Dynasty who died in the night of the Black Knife Conspiracy, a demigod whose strength and popularity were unquestionable, "Golden" Godwin!

According to the records of the main body, his relationship with Michaela should be very good, so Li You thought of him first. Although it stands to reason that Godwin's soul should have been annihilated by his destined death, but in this shadowy land, who can tell?

Can we finally meet Godwin in the DLC?

Thinking of this, Li You couldn't help but become excited.

But of course, he did not forget the seriousness of the matter. If he really had to face Godwin at that time, it would not be an easy matter.

Fortunately, it has now been confirmed that Michaela must have Monger's body in order to become a god and return smoothly. In other words, if the seal of the Spiral Tower is not lifted and no one or anything other than him can enter the Spiral Tower, he cannot take that crucial step.

Now Li You felt relieved.

"I understand. Thank you for your help, Mr. Ampah."

Ampah said: "I didn't do anything. I just interpreted the ritual scroll. If it weren't for your two companions' help, I'm afraid my old bones would have been torn apart."

"However, although I am old, this involves the dignity of our Lord Munger, so I have no choice but to fight to the death. Please also allow me to help you when you face Lady Michaela in the end!"

At the end, Ampah's tone was strong and powerful, without any wavering.

Although he still had no good feelings towards Monger, Li You admired An Pah's loyalty and wisdom, so he naturally would not refuse: "No problem!"

After the call ended, Li You looked at the eight piles of Michaela's body parts in his backpack and said, "It should be about the same here... Old Man Ampah gave his people the location of a cross mark that they just found. Let's go get it and then go back to the garden!"

Having come this far, Xu Liye no longer had any hesitation in saving Tolina: "Okay!"
