Banner of the Evil God
Chapter 38
The information that the God of Redemption gave Sui Xiong mainly included the geography of the continent, some powerful beings worthy of attention, and most importantly, the knowledge that a god should know.
What is a god? How to be a good god? What are the principles for building a kingdom of God? How to choose your own priesthood? How to obtain and use divine power? What is the relationship between godhood and combat effectiveness? And so on.
Such questions, a new god with a pantheon will inevitably get from his predecessors or superiors. But for those gods who fight alone and start from scratch, it is a secret that is difficult to obtain. The God of Redemption obviously did not hide his own "life experience" accumulated over a long period of time. It was rich in content, well-documented, and there were many educational examples that benefited him a lot.
A few days later, when he fully understood these materials and memorized the more important ones, he finally crossed the stage of "unfamiliar with life and place" and became a stranger who had a relatively accurate understanding of the world and could travel around with confidence.
Then, he took Palin with him and began to travel in the four towns in the northwest.
The first stop was Longhou Town - the task of expelling the evil dragon had a reward of 5,000 gold coins, which could be of great help in building a pioneer village!
Longhou Town is the northernmost of the four towns in the northwest. The name of this town comes from the evil dragon called "The Frost Tyrant" that lives in the nearby mountains.
Decades ago, before the evil dragon came here, this town was called "Hunter Town" because the main output came from hunting in the nearby mountains, and there were many professional hunters in the village.
Although the Frost Tyrant is powerful and terrifying, its attack type is not very strong. Until now, the main output of Longhou Town is still the hunting of monsters in the mountains, and it has not been greatly affected by the dragon living in the mountains.
Of course, every few years, the blue-white dragon with scales as smooth and cold as ice will attack this town. Its purpose is certainly not to eat people or destroy, but to extort gold coins.
This dragon seems to treat Longhou Town as a large ATM, and it uses face swipe card without actual proof, and it also has an account with unlimited overdraft. Its arrogance is comparable to some gold diggers who go straight to high-end restaurants on their first date and buy a set of Chanel after dinner. However, Longhou Town is not a domineering president with a stack of unlimited overdraft black gold cards, nor is it a rich second generation who can spend tens of millions of yuan for entertainment. It is just an ordinary town.
For the people in this town, maybe the dragon that comes to plunder regularly is just a hateful tax collector?
Apart from the dragon plunder, Longhou Town is generally quite peaceful. The most interesting thing in the town is that occasionally there will be powerful hunters hunting powerful monsters, and a group of people will drag the big monsters back like ants moving mountains and decompose them outside the town.
It is a famous scenery not only in the four towns of the northwest, but also in the entire continent. Curious people often travel through mountains and rivers to visit Longhou Town to see such a scene.
When Sui Xiong and Palin arrived in the town, the hunting team had just killed a ground dragon. The decomposition work has been carried out for the second day, and it is expected to be completed in one day.
The corpse of the giant beast, which was probably taller than Gerald even though it was dead, was placed in the huge square outside the town. This square was prepared for the decomposition of prey. The Church of the God of Hunting took almost ten years to complete it. The square, which is almost half the size of the town, is completely covered with blue-black stone slabs. Each stone slab is engraved with the holy emblem of the God of Hunting, and is enchanted through sacred rituals. As long as the prey is moved here, it will no longer rot and deteriorate, and can be decomposed slowly and safely. Moreover, even if the prey is slightly rotten, you can ask the priest of the God of Hunting to restore its texture with divine magic - this wonderful divine magic is unique to the God of Hunting and is also an important source of income for his church.
Looking from afar at the corpse of the giant beast, which is larger than a large house, lying on the stone slab, several senior hunters holding sharp blades are busy breaking it up bit by bit, and a group of young people are helping them. There are also anxious merchants waiting here with trucks. Sui Xiong couldn't help laughing.
"This place is thriving and full of vigorous vitality!"
"Indeed, compared with other places in the four towns, the people of Longhou Town are more confident and energetic. It's probably because they have been fighting monsters all year round. People who lack courage and confidence can't live in such a place at all." Because Gerard had to maintain the order of the pioneers and train manpower at the same time, Sui Xiong's guide became Palin. The young wizard had a good impression of hunters who could hunt large monsters with courage and wisdom, and praised them a lot in his words.
Of course, what he said was correct, but he missed an important reason: this town would be attacked by a giant dragon every few years. The power of the giant dragon was extremely terrifying. Those who could survive and not run away in fear had often trained themselves to have extremely strong hearts and extremely tough nerves.
Having seen the attack of a giant dragon, what else is there to be afraid of in the world?
Therefore, the people of Longhou Town generally have an optimistic spirit with a little self-abandonment. They are cheerful and cheerful, with a smile on their faces all day long.
Here, fully armed hunters can be seen everywhere on the streets. To hunt in the mountains where monsters roam, a reliable set of equipment is indispensable, so this is also the largest weapon and armor trading place in the four towns of the northwest. As long as you have enough money in your pocket, even powerful weapons that can fight dragons, or even the legendary dragon-slaying sword, can be bought.
... As for those who think that they can go to slay dragons with a dragon-slaying sword, their intelligence is so low. Instead of going out to harm society, it is better to die early and be reborn early, and be more careful in the next life.
"Is there really a dragon-slaying sword for sale here?" After hearing what Palin said, Sui Xiong couldn't help but ask curiously, "Isn't it 'Dragon-slaying sword, click and get it'?"
"What is a click? Why give away a dragon-slaying sword?"
Sui Xiong laughed twice and urged Palin to go to the weapon store quickly. He really wanted to see what the "Dragon-slaying sword" in this world looked like.
There are several weapon stores in Longhou Town. Palin, who has been here, went directly to the largest one, and the name of this weapon store was surprisingly called "Dragon-slaying Sword".
As soon as he entered the door, he saw a huge machete hanging on the huge pillar supporting the roof, which was wider than his body and taller than him.
"Here, this is the Dragon Slaying Sword."
The black bone bracelet on his wrist flashed, and Sui Xiong used his soul power to try to analyze the structure of the sword, hoping to copy it in the future.
But he soon found with regret that there was nothing special about this sword. It was just bigger and heavier, the material was denser and stronger, and there were a few magic circles engraved on the blade, that's all.
"Is this knife a sample or a real one?" he couldn't help asking.
Palin asked the clerk in the weapon shop, and the clerk assured that the knife was genuine and was definitely a Dragon Slaying Sword.
So Sui Xiong checked it carefully from inside to outside.
It was definitely an ordinary knife!
Indeed, its material was quite good, the best fine steel, and it was also well made, and there was not even a bubble hidden in the blade. Sui Xiong could even clearly figure out that every hammer and every quenching of the knife was indeed a lot of thought. But just because of this, can it be called a dragon-slaying sword?
Could it be that it is just because of the enchantment on the blade?
There are four magic effects attached to this knife. "Sharp", "Solid" and "Swift" are constant, and "Gravity Change" is activated temporarily by the user, that's all.
With these four magics, a large steel knife becomes a dragon-slaying sword?
Sui Xiong tutted his lips: "Sure enough, when it comes to bragging, merchants from all worlds are the same! What Antarctic people are not afraid of the cold, what dragon-slaying sword... the same stuff!"
"Your Majesty, do you think this knife is a fake?" Palin asked curiously.
"How should I put it... If Gerald holds this knife - assuming he can use a knife in addition to an axe - he will definitely be able to slay a dragon. But the key to slaying a dragon is not this knife, but Gerald. If it were Rhodes, that coward, even if he was given ten such knives, he would still run away when he encountered a dragon, and most likely he would throw away all the knives in order to run faster!"
"In that case, this knife is actually not bad, it's just a little exaggerated..." Palin said, "Perhaps the craftsman who made this knife just hopes that its reputation can attract real legendary strongmen to help repel or even kill the dragon?"
"Maybe." Sui Xiong lost interest in this exaggerated knife and turned his attention to other weapons in the store.
A closer look shows that there are actually many fine weapons in this store. If you don't raise your requirements to the level of "slaying a dragon", there are still many good things that are worth looking at.
For example, he quickly picked out a long dagger, which was made of a special material called "Ice Iron". Several external enchantments made it sharper, stronger, faster to swing, and could also create phantoms when swinging to confuse the enemy's sight.
If that was all, Sui Xiong wouldn't have looked at it differently, but this dagger also had a hidden secret - inside it, a magic core of the fire-attributed monster "Red Flame Rhino" was embedded. Through the magic circle on the dagger, a strong flame power can be stimulated when necessary, and the dagger then becomes a buffering medium, like a hilt.
In other words, it is not only a sharp dagger containing the power of ice, but can also be transformed into a flaming long sword when necessary. Such a change is absolutely beyond the enemy's expectations, and in actual combat, it can most likely achieve unexpected results, and it is not difficult to win in one fell swoop.
Sui Xiong's new disciple Rhodes is not doing well. As the vice president of the Thieves Guild, the weapon he carries is just a long dagger made of fine steel with the "sharp" effect attached. The ordinary material and not particularly sophisticated crafting skills, even with the effect of enchantment, are far inferior to the dagger called "Ice Soul". If the two weapons collide head-on, they are likely to be cut off at once. As for further changes and flames, there is a world of difference, and they are completely incomparable.
The super-giant battle axe used by Gerard is not in stock here, so Sui Xiong plans to help the down-and-out Rhodes prepare a handy weapon, so that the appraiser, who is not very skilled, will not be killed by the skeleton one day.
Well, in his opinion, apart from gods, the only creatures that can be exempted from the prefix of "poor skills" are the unicorn whales encountered in the sea and the four-faced monsters that he ate not long ago. According to his ideal, as his early believers, they must at least reach that level, so that he can feel at ease.
Although even if they hold the Dragon Slaying Sword, a rookie cannot slay the dragon and will only be slayed by the dragon, after all, Buddha relies on gold and people rely on clothes. It is not right to jump directly from the theory of weapons to the spiritual atomic bomb...
"Is it necessary to buy weapons for Rhodes? That guy obviously joined your majesty for the benefits. His faith is not pious at all!" When Palin learned of Sui Xiong's intention, he was immediately indignant.
In his opinion, only piety is worthy of God's reward.
But Sui Xiong didn't think so. He was an earthling, and more specifically a Chinese. The Chinese attitude towards faith is "I believe in God, God must give me benefits, fair exchange." Rhodes did believe in him, and he was still running around for him. These days, he was so busy that his heels were almost off the ground. Even now, he is still busy and toiling.
Sui Xiong saw his efforts. It is human nature to want to be rewarded.
The gods in this world require believers to give unconditionally, and only judge the level by the piety of faith. He does not agree with this practice!
