Gao Lan Mei took a while to respond, "But this is the only way for me to quickly set up the defense wall..." She does not have enough strength so she needs to borrow from the others. She knows that Ma Fei Hong has seen the defensive walls that are currently set up in the chamber. However, the deacon is not aware that the cleansing fire needs to have an equal exchange to be used.
It can be considered a divine flame so the exchange should be very important as well if one is wis.h.i.+ng for something.
The spell will not harm the being, and will just act as insurance in the event something went wrong. Like instead of protection, the fire essence was used to evil.
This is exactly the reason why Gao Lan Mei did not use this sooner as the exchange is too much. "Did I waste my own strength on this?"
Gao Lan Mei wants to truly believe that she did not waste anything. They can look for alternative resources but how long will that take?
For Gao Lan Mei, Deacon Ma should already understand that they are currently time pressured and the barrier that they have set up now will disappear soon.
It is either they have the reinforcements arrive at that exact moment to take care of the defense or they do that themselves. There is no other way!
"Sister, I understand what you mean but your request is just not something I can ask everyone." Ma Fei Hong stated honestly.
Even if Ma Fei Hong is a deacon from Justice Affairs, there are still areas that she cannot use her authority, just like what Gao Lan Mei is asking.
Sharing a part of the soul? Anyone will not just do it even if with their family member. What more for total strangers?
Then Ma Fei Hong added, "Let us wait for some more time for the reinforcement to arrive." She offered.
Gao Lan Mei was supposed to explain that they do not have any more time to waste when Wei Jiayi spoke next to her ear. "Let me."
"Sure. Deacon Ma, we can wait some more, if you want the others to die." Wei Jiayi answered to Ma Fei Hong.
"Sentinel Wei, what do you mean?" Ma Fei Hong, in all honesty, does not want to hear any more from Wei Jiayi as she knows that something was wrong. However, refusing to face the truth is also cowardice.
"The reinforcement that you are waiting for may not arrive soon. You also told us earlier that everyone is already at their limit. That is exactly the reason why my wife"s hands are was with blisters from writing too much. So why are you delaying this further?" Wei Jiayi sounds accusing.
Wei Jiayi also knows that Gao Lan Mei has given more than the rocks with spells on them. With that, it is really annoying for him to hear Ma Fei Hong doubting his wife"s plan.
Since Ma Fei Hong did not reply immediately, he added seriously, "They are busy trying to fix the boundary gate that was also attacked. You also know that the other unit of Justice Affairs outside s.h.i.+zi Empire will not be helpful at all. So I suggest to just do what my wife says."
Wei Jiayi already knows that Gao Lan Mei will not do something dangerous unless it is the last resort. He does not like it, but it is already done so the only that he can do is to make sure her efforts will not be wasted.
"Sentinel Wei, are you really going to turn your back to the beings of s.h.i.+zi empire?" Ma Fei Hong replied accusingly.
"Huh. Let me remind you, this place is your responsibility and not mine. Deacon Ma, I was able to get in the s.h.i.+zi Empire, then I also have a way to leave everything." Wei Jiayi replied sarcastically with an emphasis on "Deacon".
