Ascension journey - 390

Accompanied by the low clicking sound of the gears rotating, the small lifting platform of tens of square meters slowly left the ground, and lifted along the vertical cliff towards the higher uptown.

The silver-haired elves, who looked outstanding among the group of dwarves, walked to the edge of the elevator platform, looked at the gradually shrinking street of houses, and then he rubbed the metal railings, and looked thoughtfully at the advertisements and slogans above the elevator platform railings.

“Forge and furnace… the path to extract, transform, and control things in nature, and to continuously strengthen this ability…” A ray of curiosity flashed in the elf’s faintly red eyes with vertical pupils, “I I thought that guy was the god of blacksmiths in the traditional sense, but I didn’t expect this belief to be quite interesting…”

“To summarize, it’s a bit close to the definition of productivity. When you get to the temple, you can first take a look at the specific content of the doctrines spread by his church…” His gaze was retracted from the emblem and slogan on the billboard, and Cheng Bin followed. The noisy dwarf slowly walked out of the lifting platform and continued to move towards the core area of the dwarf city.

This city of dwarves is directly controlled by the church of Morrigan, God of Forge and Forge. When Cheng Bin approached the city, he discovered a huge defense system that was not as strong as the original city of the Elves, so he transformed from the red dragon form. The humanoid elf walked slowly from the front door.

Although the defensive barrier of this metal city is not impossible to bypass or violently dismantle, Cheng Bin is here to seek communication, and this behavior will naturally not be done.

…At least not at first.

The streets and buildings in the Shangcheng District are more advanced than those in the Xiacheng District, and the style is more uniform. Walking among the tall buildings, Cheng Bin looks around, quite a bit of returning to a town on the inner earth.

After walking a few streets in a hurry, Cheng Bin, who had a brief taste of dwarf customs, came to the huge square in the core of the Shangcheng District.

The huge statue of the god of forging and furnace, which is hundreds of meters high, was erected on the edge of the square, and there was faint brilliance flowing on the statue, and behind it was the church temple.

Looking at the dwarves who were standing outside the idols praying, Cheng Bin stared at the huge idols with a gleam of light in his eyes.

A feeling of familiarity faintly came from the idol with a complicated internal structure. After a careful taste, Cheng Bin confirmed the source of that familiar aura-the divinity of the god of forging and furnace.

However, the divinity is only connected to this huge idol through space-time bridges. It itself exists in the deeper part of the temple group. This connection with the divinity is full of omissions in subtleties, unlike the direct creation of the gods. It seems It is a usage researched by its followers.

“This big guy seems to be movable, is this a mechanical gundam?”

Cheng Bin glanced at the huge square hammer on the ground under the hammer head of the god only statue, and then looked at the priest near the statue who was loudly promoting the god’s mighty power, and found that there was no real content to listen to except the god’s mighty power and great deeds.

After bypassing the divine Gundam that can smash the dragon into meatloaf with a hammer, Cheng Bin continued to walk towards the temple.

Passing through the open outer door of the church complex, Cheng Bin did not follow the flow of people to the prayer hall corresponding to the deity. Instead, following the initial divine induction compiled by his temporary transformation, he walked deeper into the complex.

Although he didn’t enter the hall, he casually glanced at Cheng Bin over there and scanned all the text information hidden in the prayer hall without disturbing anyone.

Cheng Bin collected a lot of basic information about Morrigan, the god of forge and forge. He walked while browsing the information in his brain, and quickly figured out the situation of this god.

According to the common standards of the gods, Morrigan is a deity with a medium godhead, whose priesthood includes forging, smelting, machinery, craftsman and other fields, as well as some derivative and expanded side concepts, such as flame and blasting.

From the point of view of doctrinal content, Morrigan is not the racial god expected by Cheng Bin, and his clergy field is more focused on interpreting certain specific behaviors in the process of transforming nature by intelligent life.

This means that the dwarf is not necessarily his believer, and the non-dwarf race has no obstacles to believing in this deity.

But the strange thing is that there is no trace of any other gods in the dwarf culture, and there is no second dwarf god.

Thinking Cheng Bin suddenly stopped, but a dwarf wearing a loose gray short robe stopped in front of him, frowning and looking at him suspiciously.

——An unseen humanoid race, pointed ears? Is it a legendary wizard? It won’t be the goblin mutated, right…

Grabbing the braided brown beard, the dwarf guard, who can’t see any problem from the silver-haired elf, waved his hand and said loudly: “Stop, go further and you will be the inner area of the church. What can you do to return to the prayer hall? Find the pastor over there.”

Legendary fighter? No wonder I can break through passively ignoring special effects and notice me… Cheng Bin looked at the dwarf guard and shook his head with a smile. He slightly strengthened the soul spell he had activated not long ago, and then continued to move forward——

The place he is going has Morrigan’s divinity, I am afraid that it is impossible to get close to the normal process…I don’t know what Morrigan is doing, he has walked here and still has no response…it won’t be Haven’t found him yet?

Seeing that the elves with pointed ears followed his advice and walked away, the dwarf guard nodded and walked sideways to the other side to continue his inspection——

There seemed to be a missing link in his soul. The matter of the elf leaving from the place was directly connected to the result of the judgment. He was completely unaware of what the direction of his departure represented.

For a demigod soul mage, the thinking circuit of a legendary warrior is not something that cannot be interfered with. Cheng Bin, who is exceptionally good at this aspect, can push the dwarf guard into a logical dead end with one hand.

Of course, this was also because the slight disturbance created by Cheng Bin did not threaten the dwarven guard, and cleverly avoided touching the power of his real name.

Relying on the extremely delicate magic control and the powerful neglect halo comparable to the stone hat in Doraemon, Cheng Bin drove straight ahead, passing through the barriers and discriminating spells in the ignorance of many temple personnel, and came to the depths of the temple group. In front of a simple stone building.

After taking a look at this extraordinary building without any magical power, Cheng Bin pushed open the wide semi-circular wooden door from the middle, and walked in amid the low noise from the shaft of the door.

In the light coming in from the window, I glanced at the tables, chairs and bar in the lobby, and then looked at the wine bottles filled with most of the cabinet behind the bar. Cheng Bin raised his foot and walked towards the passage on the side of the bar without taking a few steps. I saw the source of divine induction.

It was a simple wrought iron shed built of stone. The gray furnace was surrounded by black and gray, and the uneven anvil was leaning against a square hammer with a wooden handle—much like the hammer on the idol outside.

The taste of divinity faintly permeated from this simple hammer.

“An artifact hammer, but the structure doesn’t look like a special weapon or tool, it’s just a product of divine invasion?” After looking at the hammer, Cheng Bin, who let go of the divine resonance, crossed the hammer and walked to the other side of the furnace. The edge probe of the open-air platform took a look.

The huge circular shaft left after the crater was transformed is directly below Cheng Bin. The bright light emitted by the hot lava spreads through the layers of filtering and transformation to the outside of the shaft, and huge energy surges in the magic patterns all over the shaft. Moving, constantly flowing and transforming into the distance.

Just as Cheng Bin leaned over to look at the core of the city of dwarves, a sturdy arm with prominent muscles and scars stretched out of the void, and his five fingers grabbed the wooden handle of the square hammer next to the anvil.

In the next instant, the dwarf who walked out of the distorted ripples of space, with an uncomfortable expression, raised the hammer in his hand and aimed it at the back of Cheng Bin’s head and smashed it down.

The hammer swings not fast, just like a mortal blacksmith is hitting iron, but the divinity in the square hammer guides the huge magical power it has accumulated, and the entire space is locked and solidified into one piece. Most people don’t even evade. The mind can’t continue to work.

But this is obviously of little use to Cheng Bin.

The phantom-like translucent red dragon body appeared in a thin layer behind Cheng Bin. I don’t know how many versions of the crimson dragon scales were changed to easily burst the space blockade, and caught the gods as if they were welcoming a breeze. The hammer of sex, not even a trace of aftermath ripples, all energy conflicts were annihilated invisible.

Under the divine power, the hammer, which had transformed how much attack power, was taken back by the dwarf. He frowned and looked at the hammer face that hit the phantom dragon scale. He seemed to be a little distressed and raised his hand and rubbed it twice. Down.

Cheng Bin, who turned around, smiled upon seeing this: “This should be a souvenir? You are not afraid of accidents if you use it so roughly? Morrigan, this is how you welcome old friends?”

“Bah! Who is an old friend with you?!” After putting the hammer back as it was, the dwarf god stared at the elf and snorted, “Do you have anything to do with the sneaky guy playing with the shadows? You can sneak here? .”

Cheng Bin didn’t know that Morrigan had an avatar waiting in this city, but after Morrigan was notified by a certain deity’s avatar, he still knew about the arrival of the red dragon. He had always been concerned about the chaos. Traces of the flying red dragon.

It’s just that he didn’t expect this guy to have such a terrifying aura convergence and stealth ability after approaching the urbanization. From the beginning of the city gate alone to the present, no one from the church personnel to the magical enchantment can stop him.

If it weren’t for the other party’s presence next to the hammer that touched the divine sense, Morrigan himself would not have been able to find the red dragon from the huge city—unless the city’s defense system was fully activated to build the god’s domain on the ground, or it was directly brought down with The battle avatar of the gods personally engages in a carpet scan of the gods.

“Well, it’s very simple. In addition to the simple thinking of the personnel, the structure of your defense system is also very easy to understand.” Cheng Bin smiled slightly, and performed a show on his soul, extracting a module from the soul magic in operation. Run it a bit.

Morrigan was stunned, and he saw an extremely clear line of faith in the red dragon-pointing to his connection with the faith of the god of forging and furnace.

As if the red dragon became his devout believer at this moment, Morrigan could perceive the thoughts he was praying along this stable line of faith, and he could give this true believer magic arts as long as he wanted to. .

However, in the next instant, the devout believers turned their backs on their beliefs in a series of spiritual changes, and the connection of belief that could be recognized by countless magical enchantments collapsed and disappeared in the blink of an eye like a snowflake of a soldering iron.

——It turns out that, using the believer’s belief detection link as a springboard, with a powerful spell-casting ability to invade the defense system, tamper with identification marks and access permissions…

After seeing all the details, Morrigan’s muscles twitched, revealing a complex expression that didn’t know how to describe it: “You are provoking face-to-face… How dare you play with your faith and deceive the gods like this?”

“I think this is a very sincere exchange,” Cheng Bin said sincerely, “Look, as soon as I came, I found a lot of fixable errors for you. Based on what I just showed, you should be able to Improve many divine arts to increase the power of believers in the material world, right?”

Morrigan snorted coldly: “So what, disrespect of gods is the greatest sin in itself, do you know what happens when your behavior is exposed to other gods?”

“That’s why I came to you. I think you should be able to communicate if you know some things, and your doctrine has absolutely no content about how you don’t fear God.”

The silver-haired elf with his back leaning on the fence on the edge of the open-air platform smiled, and then said seriously: “And… after watching my process of creating a connection of faith, do you really think you are a true god?”

“What do you mean?” Morrigan frowned.

Cheng Bin pondered for a while and slowly said: “I’m here to ask you about the knowledge of becoming a god, but after infiltrating before, I think gods like you might have some problems with their roots.”

Morrigan blinked his eyes and said in a deep voice, “Alright!”

“Is it alarmist? After I finish talking about it, we will discuss it together,” Cheng Bin shook his head and continued, “I just made a temporary connection of faith. In theory, it is possible to connect you at the other end, or your deity’s ontology. Perceive the details of the connection and discover the anomaly on my side…

“But the fact is that you have not noticed the problem of my forged belief connection at all. This shows that you cannot always pay attention to the state of each belief connection. For a god, it seems strange that he cannot control his own power foundation. ?”

“Strange? Really nonsense,” Morrigan sneered. “How to deal with the impact of complex beliefs and how to use the Godhead to create templates to respond to different types of belief thoughts are skills that every god must learn…

“Do you know how many planes there are in this world? Do you know how many planes a god has a church? Know how many believers a god has in total?

“No one can perceive and process such a huge belief all the time. Even when the believer of the gods has just become the fewest, those who dare to try will fall due to the distortion of their souls under the spirit of washing the first time they ascend to the throne.”

Facing Morrigan with a mocking expression on his face, Cheng Bin spread his hands innocently and said, “But I can.”

Morrigan, who was about to continue to say something, couldn’t help but froze, his expression changed a few times, revealing an expression of “You are kidding me”.
