Ascension journey - 414. Chapter 409

As the legendary black dragon lord who suddenly emerged, Angel still experienced a lot of wind and waves. In front of the red dragon statue, although he was caught off guard and showed a shocked expression, he still subconsciously completed the chain of spells. A series of guard operations such as the transfer of enchantments.

However, the next moment he settled down, and after confirming that the various alert and protection arrays had not been attacked by an intrusion within the scope of his understanding, he looked at the red dragon statue that was turning his neck to look at himself with a strange look.

——The image of gods has a mysterious connection with them. Historical documents do have deeds of gods communicating with believers through idols. In folklore, there are stories about mortals who did indecent things in front of gods and were punished by gods for offending gods. …

“Salute to you, the god of knowledge…” Angel, who has no relevant experience, saluted a little strangely. While trying to talk to him, he couldn’t help but muttered from the bottom of his heart-your statue is not insensitive to the name of the god. Aura?

After observing the details of the image resonance contained in the God’s Pointing Agreement, Cheng Bin controlled the stone red dragon body to close the wings, lowered the dragon’s head and smiled softly: “Don’t be so restrained, Angel, we weren’t in touch at the beginning. Are you familiar with the communication?”

Can the friendship between the experimenter and the experimental props be counted like this? Anger’s expression only relaxed a little when he heard this—and, who knows if your personality has changed drastically after becoming a god? In the past history, the gods who have been denied by the six relatives of the gods are not one or two…

After Angel nodded, there was weird silence in the hall for a while, and then Angel, who was stared at by the red dragon, said, “Respected God of Knowledge…”

“Just call me Casa.”

“Casa…sir, you are here, do you have anything to tell me?”

Cheng Bin, who is indeed in a hurry, said with interest, “Aren’t you always praying to me? Ah, after countless prayers, your sincerity touched the gods in the sky, so the gods came here to respond to You, normally it should be you making your own prayer at this time, right?”

But your tone of voice is not normal at all…Angel is a little entangled thinking-he used to pray only to try to establish faith, and there is no specific prayer content, how can there be anything worth disturbing the gods?

It didn’t take much time for the thoughts that wandered in his mind, and Angel replied with awe-inspiring righteousness: “Faith itself is a great honor. How dare to trouble the gods with trivial things of mortals?”

I don’t know that Red Dragon said as if he hadn’t heard it: “Well, when the average believer encounters the manifestation of a god, he will pray for his family to ascend to the eternal and beautiful kingdom of the gods. I think you are so pious, you are in the kingdom of God. Let me make a place for you to live out.”

“Ah, I haven’t made any contribution to you yet, so how come I am qualified to go to your country?” Angel’s face changed slightly and said repeatedly-I still don’t want to die!

“Well, no jokes,” the stone red dragon was originally integrated and full of sharp teeth, and said in a serious tone, “but I do need you to help in the kingdom of God, but it’s not me. The kingdom of God that has been incorporated into the source of holy light…”

Anger was startled slightly, and then he heard Honglong continue to say: “Before telling the specific situation of the things that need your help, I have to ask you a question-do you really want to believe in me, believe in me? Tao, ignoring any difficulties and obstacles to practice it?

“When you prayed to me, didn’t you really have the doubts or the help you wanted to answer in your heart?”

Facing the red dragon’s scrutiny, Angel pondered for a moment, carefully recalling everything that had happened since the drastic changes in the Dragon Vein Warlock’s family, and then he hesitated for a moment before slowly saying: “In the past management and battles, I deeply I have realized the power of knowledge, and also understood the value of the spirit of seeking knowledge…

“Heilongling can develop to the point where it is today. In addition to the strength I possess, it relies on respect for knowledge and the development trend of changing its own form around the continuous improvement of technology…

“But because of this, I am often confused…”

After a pause, Angel carefully looked at the listening appearance of the red dragon, and then took a deep breath and continued: “The life of the black dragon collar has always attracted people from all over to settle down. As the population grows larger and larger. It is huge, and the contradiction with some forces is becoming more and more obvious…”

Recalling the stack of contracts he had just signed with other external forces, Angel sighed and said: “The most troublesome thing is the churches of the major gods behind these forces…

“After the construction of the water conservancy barrage, the leaders no longer fear floods and droughts… When the electric light is trapped in the glass, the craftsmen no longer regard the thunder in the sky as the wrath of the gods…

“People who have learned more about crops after the advancement of farming technology no longer fear and rely on the pastor of the god of agriculture, or even the god behind it…”

Faced with the incarnation of a god, Angel boldly described his feelings along the way: “Except for the god of forge and forge, who has a slightly special priesthood and doctrine, and has the support of dwarves, the black dragon collar’s potential belief ratio has always been decline…

“The major churches of the gods originally had opinions on the special regulations of the black dragon collar restricting missionary methods. In this case, they even sent me warning messages openly or secretly…

“I know what they want-an ignorant society with a large population and functioning under the support of gods. The more you know, the more knowledgeable and questioning people, the less able to produce pious belief…

“Is there a contradiction between the progress of society and the belief in gods? The pastors of the gods of agriculture must know more farming knowledge, but they never like to teach them, and prefer to use magic to solve the problems encountered by farmers. …

“From the perspective of different lords, it can also be understood as a consideration to prevent non-self-powers’ materials and population from increasing, but will the gods care about these like a lord? Isn’t more farmland and more agricultural products not agriculture? What does God want to see? I don’t quite understand these questions…”

“This involves the mystery of the power of some gods-the divine power feedback from the priesthood is always a lot worse than the divine power feedback from the pious belief, and without enough real name support, it is difficult for the gods to obtain the divine rank distribution normally. It is easy and simple. Naturally, few gods are willing to go the difficult way. After all, they will be eliminated if they are backward in power…”

He casually mentioned the red dragon who is the secret of the gods, and looked at Angel a little unexpectedly: “You dare to talk about these things in front of a god, but you have the courage to be admirable.”

“…It’s not that I am bold, but you are forgiving enough.” Angel sighed as he watched the stone statue without any sense of majesty and a little bit of spirit. Is it against the will of the gods?”

“Hehe, you black dragon collar is not as good as dwarves and elves. You just affected the performance of some regional bishops. If you say you have received the attention of the gods and subjectively resisted, let’s talk about it when you can create a magic net.”

After a smile, Cheng Bin continued: “But your point of view is right. You will continue to explore and climb civilization, and sooner or later you will touch the realm of gods. As long as the current environment in which gods need to draw strength from their true name beliefs has not changed, such Civilization is destined to have a fundamental contradiction with the gods…

“As far as I know, civilizations that have shaken the foundations of the gods in history have been completely destroyed due to their development to a very high degree. It is difficult to find even a little historical record…

“Far away there are races related to the current dwarves who want to integrate all material planes into a unified system to interfere with the macro operation of the world, and nearer there is the great arcanist kingdom that creates the magic net to usurp the power of the gods…

“The last time you saw my two elven believers, the previous civilization of the elven kingdom to which they belonged also involved some high-level things, and they perished after being’incidentally’ involved in a war with the dragons around the turn of the last epoch. …”

The secrets of the gods deliberately buried in history, Angel’s face became paler the more he listened-he didn’t know the secrets of dwarves and elves, but the great arcane… The spells named after them are all well-known in the circle of high-level wizards.

The legendary black dragon Anger who studied magic couldn’t help but smiled bitterly. He finally knew why the powerful mages who made floating cities from mountains and broken mountains, and walked through planes and voids, disappeared inexplicably.

Some lost Anger murmured in a low voice: “So, is there no way?”

“There must be a way,” the stone red dragon pointed at Angel with the tip of his claws, and said jokingly, “As long as you kill all the gods and become the supreme ruler, then you naturally want to play whatever you want.”

Angel’s face became more bitter: “…please don’t make such a joke.”

“I’m not kidding,” said Hong Long sternly, “Civilization progress is not a treat for dinner. If you want to implement the way of seeking knowledge, you must subvert the entire world of gods. Either kill the gods or change the mechanism of the gods relying on faith. A simple and more powerful path that does not contradict the development of civilization is before them, and let them make their own choices…”

“‘Them’…you don’t think of yourself as a god at all.” Angel’s expression and reaction were a bit subtle, and his attention was completely biased to a strange place.

“Oh, don’t care about these details,” Cheng Bin shook his head, and then asked seriously, “After knowing these terrifying obstacles that will inevitably face in the future, are you still willing to follow the path corresponding to my priesthood?

“I can tell you clearly, as the god of knowledge, I will inevitably follow my own path, so I have been carrying out actions to subvert the pattern of the gods. The gods are still quite conscious of my clergy, so they secretly It is normal for the source of light that has changed due to my joining…

“If you choose to believe in me, then you can’t escape the fate of being caught up in it.”

——Although I agree with this path, do I really have the consciousness of being an enemy of the gods of the whole world?

Recalling the warning from Ivey, the two-headed body, about the belief in the red dragon, Angel was silent for a long time, and then said with some difficulty: “Sorry, although I personally agree with it, as the lord, I must be responsible for the people of the black dragon. I can’t bring them into unbearable risks…

“It’s just the power of the bishops and pastors of the churches of the gods in some areas, and we have been quite exhausted. In the face of the storms facing the gods, the black dragon collar is too fragile and too small, and we have not done well to face that kind of situation. Mental preparation…”

After a pause, Angel continued firmly and said: “…If one day in the future, I can be separated from the responsibility of the lord, or everyone around me is eager to move on to the realm of the gods, then I absolutely Will not back down.”

“It’s a good thing to have the responsibility of a lord. It’s good if you personally agree. After all, without knowing the specific details, you can’t count on me to protect everything you care about…”

The Red Dragon, who was said to be sorry, didn’t feel anything special. He smiled and asked, “Then, without causing any damage to you or affecting the people in the territory, you shouldn’t mind helping me a little. Do you contribute to the ambition of the seeker?”

Angel immediately nodded and replied: “It is incumbent.”

“Very good,” the red dragon nodded approvingly, and then said his request, “In that case, you do me a favor-go and believe in Mystra, the lord of the magic net, the goddess of magic.”

“??” Angel was stunned on the spot with a dazed expression on his face.

After looking at each other in silence for a while, Angel asked a little embarrassed: “I’m sorry, what did you just say? I may have a little auditory hallucination and misunderstanding.”

Cheng Bin shook his head and said, “No, you didn’t hear it wrong, nor did you misunderstand it. It means literally-I, please, go and believe in Mystra, the goddess of magic.”

Anger was silent for a while, and then he looked serious and said almost every word: “Please allow me to refuse–even if you are the god I admire, you can’t shake or interfere with my will and faith, even if I believe in. It’s you.”

If a pair of mortals communicate with the gods in this way, it is hard to say how the gods who have been rejected many times will react, but the red dragon has no obvious emotional changes from the beginning to the end, which is why Angel is getting more and more courageous The big root cause.

“Well, your reaction is quite similar to that of some mad believers,” Hong Long stood on his feet and spread his paws. “Don’t worry, there is no distorted statement of your consciousness-I, who became a god, are using the godhead to help you represent your real name. Under the circumstances, it’s okay to temporarily simulate a devout believer and fool the faith interface.

“If it’s not that I don’t like to create intelligent life, and I have some concerns about the real name given to the life created out of thin air, this kind of thing can be done casually, and it will not have any special impact on the consciousness of the Simulator. ”

Angel sighed in relief, and then hesitated: “It’s not good to deceive other gods like this? And what kind of things do you even need to pretend to be followers of other gods?”
