Lord of War
14. Negotiating a deal with God
It happened to be evening when Sean came to Hongye Town.
In a small town like Hongye Town, there is no such thing as a night ban, but according to the rules, the town gates will still be closed at night. As for the patrolling personnel, the militiamen of Hongye Town are naturally in charge, otherwise, it would be pointless to train these militiamen so hard.
Sean's sudden arrival really made the residents of Hongye Town feel a little panicked.
Isn't it said that war is about to start again, so the lord is in charge of relevant war preparations at the front line? Why did this come to Hongye Town again?
But for this lord, apart from a few words of slander because Hongye Town was not built into a city, in fact, the townspeople of Hongye Town don't have much resentment towards Xiao En, after all, the monthly blood money is still given It is said that even the blood gold of the dead in the confrontation with the Dabron mercenary group was paid. This is not a small expense, so it seems that the lord is more generous and benevolent.
Naturally, there are still people who have opinions, but under the general trend, everyone should choose to shut up obediently.
Therefore, although Xiao En's arrival made people feel terrified, it was not as exciting as the previous few times.
"Has there been any strangers in the town recently?" After getting off his horse at the gate of the town, Sean asked the nearest townsman.
It seems that because it was the first time to face the lord, this middle-aged man seemed a little nervous and stammered, and finally said after half-pay: "There is a woman, a very beautiful woman, who said she wanted to be the town's shrine." Priest of the . . . The mayor agreed, and now lives in the temple."
Xiao En nodded with a smile, thanked him, and went straight to the temple.
Along the way, he tried his best to get benefits from this believer. When he came to the town, Sean finally remembered one thing.
In the game, from the opening of the server to the update of the latest expansion, there were a total of 29 gods that could be believed in. Some gods fell asleep after Ragnarok and woke up again, and some were lucky enough not to die in Ragnarok. There are medium-level gods who have been unable to recover their divine power, there are also gods who ignite the divine fire and gain a good godhead to become high-level gods, and there are even weak gods who are on the verge of falling. But among these many gods, none of them was named the Goddess of Ice, Snow and Winter.
As Sean walked towards the temple, he opened the territory mission and re-examined the mission description.
If the historical progress of this world is exactly the same as the situation in the game. Then in the game, the god named Ice Snow and Winter Goddess is very likely to be unable to return to the ranks of the gods and completely fall because he cannot obtain the divine power enough to support the recovery of the kingdom of God. If this is the case, then according to the established history in the game, this god is a god who is doomed to failure.
certainly. In fact, it is also possible that no player has taken over the task, or the player who has taken over the task is not strong enough. So eventually the task fails.
Sean was dealing with Romeo. It has already tried to change the result of the course of history, which is not a good thing, because the development and ending of things often become unpredictable. However, everything has advantages and disadvantages. Sean changed the steps of the process. Although he had to pay off a family blood debt for Romeo, he also obtained an epic weapon and a subordinate who would definitely enter the gold rank in the future. No matter how you look at it, this deal is profitable.
Precisely because of these precedents,
That's why Sean now attaches great importance to the selection result of this territory mission.
Do we want to let the goddess fall according to the established plot in the game, or do we want to help the goddess?
Sean was a little distressed.
But no matter how distressed, the section from the town gate to the temple in the town square. It's only ten minutes away.
Therefore, Xiao En quickly met the believer of the goddess of ice, snow and winter.
This is indeed a beauty.
Her appearance is not very gorgeous, but she has a pair of eyes full of aura, small and slightly thin lips, and a slightly raised nose bridge. Judging from her appearance alone, she is not as delicate as Cecilia. Not as charming as Elizabeth, but also has a restrained innocence, which is comparable to these two. It's just that when this believer keeps silent and doesn't smile, the cold aura that strangers should not enter on his body becomes more and more obvious.
It's like a kind of natural prestige without anger.
This beauty has long light blue hair that hangs down to her waist, and she simply tied it up without too much fancy. He was wearing a silver singlet, painted with blue rusty lines like water ripples and waves, the inner lining seemed to be white, with a high collar, and a knee-length long-sleeved waist windbreaker on the outside, the whole body was silver and blue , the cuffs are off-white texture, there are buttons under the sleeves, it seems that the width of the cuffs can be changed at will, the trousers are also silver-white, but the boots are black with gold patterns.
Wearing this kind of clothes similar to an officer's uniform did not reveal too much heroism on this woman, but instead made the cold aura on her that no strangers should enter more intense. Especially at the waistband of the unlined coat inside the windbreaker, there is also a sword hilt with spiral patterns on a blue background and a golden edge, and the scabbard is a silver-white long sword inlaid with rhombus-shaped blue diamonds, which further demonstrates the woman's extraordinary worth and wealth. status.
No matter how you look at it, this woman does not look like a priest or priest.
However, how could Xiao En, who can be regarded as well-informed, be intimidated by this woman's attire.
"A priest with a knife?" Sean frowned slightly.
If you don't speak, you are a stranger. The woman who broke her kung fu with "Baidu ★Xiangxiang★Text" when she spoke, said, "You know?"
Sean rolled his eyes. There are really not many things in this world that he can't know about. Of course, many disputes or matters caused by historical changes are not listed here.
In the normal divine arts system, there are two occupational classifications.
One is priests and priests who specialize in various divine arts. The pinnacle of such professions is the pope who establishes a sect in the name of gods. He is famous for his extremely powerful divine arts, but this kind of profession is Notoriously weak, it is said that he is worse than a magician who is purely specialized in magic cultivation. The other category is occupations created to improve this kind of physical weakness. There are two main branches of this type of occupation, namely, priest occupations, which mainly focus on divine arts and supplemented by martial arts, and temple warrior occupations, which mainly focus on martial arts and supplemented by divine arts. According to the rules, no matter whether they are priests or temple warriors, there is no possibility of running for the pope. The peak of their status is the president of the temple knights.
However, the priest with a knife abruptly opened up a third path that is based on divine arts and not supplemented by martial arts.
Among all the beliefs of gods in the divine art system, this is both status and honor, and it is also a sixth-level hidden advanced occupation in the divine art system that can be used as a genuine professional standard for judging strength. In any power system of god belief, priests with swords are a very special category, not just because those who can win this honor have strong combat effectiveness. What's more important is that those who have won this honor can not only participate in the election for the President of the Knights Templar, but can even fight for the Pope's throne.
In the original game, there was a player who became a priest with a knife under the belief system of the Goddess of Victory, and in the end he was actually made Pope by this guy. After that, this idiot launched a divine war against the religion of the God of Dawn in the world for a woman. At one time, more than seven countries were involved in this battle of gods, just as a player. He is by no means inferior to the presidents of the top ten guilds in the game.
As for the outcome of the war of gods. Sean didn't know, because when he came to this world, the battle of gods in the game had just reached its peak.
"Not only do I know that you are a priest with a knife, I also know that the god you believe in is the goddess of ice, snow and winter." Sean's simple and straightforward opening remarks seemed very rude, without the gentle tone of a nobleman at all, "I even You and the god behind you have more secrets. Do you believe it?"
Some unbelievably beautiful women stared wide-eyed, which made her aura of not being allowed to enter. I saw her tilt her head and said, "I don't believe it."
Sean felt choked and depressed for a moment.
About this goddess of ice, snow and winter. Of course, Sean doesn't know anything. Although there are some introductions about gods in the game, they are also introductions of high-level gods such as Odin, Zeus, and Ares. However, these gods have already fallen in Ragnarok. up. To put it simply, the various gods mentioned in the introduction of the gods with the big title on the official website are basically all dead, and there is no space for the immortal ones to be introduced, so the twenty-nine gods known to players later The gods are all figured out by the players themselves bit by bit.
So when this beautiful woman said "I don't believe it", Sean really had a headache.
His tried-and-true magic stick tricks seemed useless in front of this true servant of the gods.
"Well, since you don't believe me, let's put it another way." Sean said calmly, but at this moment he recovered a bit of gentleness, "Why do you ask me to allow you to be in my territory?" What about recruiting believers?"
"Because they need me." The woman said with a matter of course.
"As long as I want, I can invite priests of other gods to preside over the temple at any time." Sean said softly, "What the townspeople of Hongye Town need is only a priest, a priest who can help them when they encounter some situations that doctors cannot treat. , the priest who helped them, not the priest of the Goddess of Ice, Snow and Winter, you have to figure this out."
"But there's no other priest here besides me, is there?"
"That's just because there is not enough money. As long as I am willing to spend some money, why can't I hire another better pastor?"
"But... I don't need money."
Before becoming a family, Sean didn’t know the price of daily necessities, rice, oil and salt. After he became a family, he realized that even if he is a millionaire, he can’t spend money indiscriminately. Instead, he invites temple priests to support the temple, unless it is an important town or an extremely prosperous city. Towns, otherwise, there would be no temple priests to post, of course, exceptions are those believers of weak gods who are not well-known or who urgently need the power of faith.
This is why ordinary nobles don't raise military priests. For those nobles who are not strong enough, they can't even afford magicians, let alone military priests. And for those who can afford to support magicians, it would be better to have such a sum of money to support the military priests to raise a few more magicians. What Sean wants to form is a group of priests, which is not something that two priests and priests can handle.
Therefore, Sean was a little moved by the no-money proposal made by the follower of the goddess of ice, snow and winter: "This is indeed a good proposal, but it is not enough."
"Not enough?" The woman opened her eyes wide. He seemed very innocent, "I have no money."
"I don't need your money." Sean shook his head.
"I won't give myself to you." The female believer suddenly tightened her windbreaker, as if if you dare to touch me, I will fight you desperately.
There seemed to be a black line on Xiao En's face: "Baidu ★Xiangxiang★Text" "No, I'm not interested in you either....Okay, let's stop beating around the bush, the god behind you has already fallen stage, if there is no supply of power of faith, you will burn with divine power within three months."
This time, the face of the female believer finally changed.
It's just that Sean hasn't adapted to the change in the other party's face. He felt an extremely terrifying and powerful coercion emanating from the female believer. Almost in an instant, this female believer was like a spring of a storm, and a bone-piercing cold breath burst out in all directions around this female believer in an instant, and everything in the room was shaken. Covered with a layer of frost. And the frost is even increasing.
What is even more amazing is that the hair color of this female believer turned into a transparent light blue in an instant. Like the ice edge hanging in the ice cave. But her eyes turned into deep black. Sean watched her eyes change from light blue to dark blue, and finally into the indefinable pitch black like an abyss, so deep that it seemed to absorb the soul completely.
As if sensing that his soul was leaving his body, Sean immediately closed his eyes, and the feeling of separation disappeared immediately.
It's just that the temperature in the room is constantly dropping. In a blink of an eye, it was tens of degrees below zero, and it was even dropping continuously. Even Xiao En couldn't bear it now. His face even began to be covered with frost, and the blood in his body seemed to be frozen. It was almost a slight movement of the fingers, and the brittle ice fell because it couldn't bear the change.
It's only a few seconds, but it feels like a very long time has passed.
"Sorry." When the woman's deep black pupils finally revealed such a trace of spirituality, she also saw Xiao En's embarrassment at the moment, waved her hand slightly, and Xiao En no longer felt the coldness, but the body that was almost frozen However, his blood has not improved, "My divine power is already very thin, so I can only protect you for this."
Originally, the voice of this female believer had a clear silver bell voice, but now the voice coming out of her mouth has an ethereal feeling.
"God descends!?" Although Xiao En couldn't feel the cold anymore, the coldness in his body hadn't been dispelled before, so he was already trembling at the moment. With his teeth constantly fighting up and down, it really looked like What are you afraid of.
"Yes." The female believer, or should be the goddess of ice and snow and winter, nodded.
"Can her body bear it?" Sean was more concerned about this question.
God's descent, also known as the great descending spell, is one of the three forbidden spells known as the magic department. Players who use this kind of skill in the game will definitely lose a level, and any means of relegation will not work. Generally, if they accept this kind of skill, they will die on the spot. Only those who have the blood of the people or the people of the gods can bear it The gods do not die, although they are usually still severely damaged to a large extent.
"Although her bloodline is extremely thin, she does have my bloodline." The Goddess of Ice, Snow and Winter said, "That's why I chose her as my resuscitator after I woke up.... With her current ability, You can bear my coming once every six months without any sequelae."
Now, it was Sean's turn to be surprised.
"You seem to know me very well." The goddess of ice and snow and winter continued, "Since you already know that my divine power can only last three months between you secular people at most, then we don't need to say anything more Meaningless nonsense. I can only maintain this state and talk to you for three minutes now, and this will consume my divine power for at least a month, so... tell me your conditions, mortal."
The goddess of ice, snow and winter is a high-level god who is good at fighting. Back then, she even almost captured the Godhead of Ares. Although her temper is not irritable and moody among the gods, she can definitely be regarded as a representative of ruthlessness and indifference, so at this moment she talks to Sean with an equal attitude. If it is placed in the twilight era, it is simply An incredible thing.
It's a pity that Xiao En really doesn't know this god very well, so he can't understand how much honor this kind of "equality" is. His so-called "understanding" is actually all based on the help of the system. It's just that as a magic stick, his performance is very good, and the goddess of ice and snow and winter really doesn't have any extra power for her to squander at will. To observe Sean's heart.
"If that's the case, then I won't talk nonsense anymore." Sean tried his best to calm down the coldness in his blood, and tried his best to make himself speak without trembling, "I need a group of priests. Once in war, all The priests and priests who believe in you must become the priests accompanying the army in my army, and this group of priests must obey my command and orders, not the kind of unrestricted freedom."
"Then what benefits can I get?"
"As long as it is my territory, I can only believe in you, the god." Sean said in a deep voice, "I will refuse the believers of all other gods to enter, and any city in my territory will definitely build your temple. But you can How many believers you win depends on the ability of your believers, and I am not responsible for this."
"That is to say, once you need to launch a war, I must let my believers cooperate with your army, and in return I will gain the right to control beliefs in your territory? "
Sean nodded, and said, "Yes....This deal is very fair, and neither you nor I lose money."
"Under normal circumstances, I'm really not at a loss. But as far as I know, your current territory doesn't seem to be very big."
"It's only temporary." Sean said softly, "My territory can't be limited to this forever. Besides, you don't have a choice right now, do you?"
"Yes, I really have no choice now." The goddess of ice and snow and winter nodded, and said in a deep voice, "In this case, then our transaction is established, but this is only temporary. If I am dissatisfied, I will terminate this transaction."
"It's natural." Sean said with a clear look, "If your believer dissatisfies me, then I will also suspend this transaction."
The goddess of ice, snow and winter took a deep look at Xiao En, and then her will began to break away. The female believer's eyes soon began to return to the original light blue, and the transparent hair color began to recover from top to bottom, it looked like someone poured a basin of blue from her head. Like the colored dye, it gradually flows down and falls.
Also after a few seconds, the eyes of the female believer finally recovered the aura that Sean had seen before.
