Chapter 203: Poison of Faith
The power of faith is the most delicious poison in the world, and in ancient times, when the gods and spirits arose and the gods coexisted, the reason for the death of the gods was the most because of this poison of faith.
How many amazing and brilliant geniuses of all races, with peerless talents, rely on their own strength, break away from the mortal body, transform into gods, and once enter the gods, because they want to quickly improve their divine power, devour the poison of faith, and be infected by endless thoughts, in the end, they can't tell whether it is themselves or the gods formed by the distracting thoughts of many believers.
In addition to the temptation of these newborn gods to quickly improve their divine power, the ancient gods also can't help it, in the end, I am not me, but a god in the eyes of many believers, and he is no longer in charge of his own conscious body, but a mixed mind formed by desires, which operates on its own and becomes an empty shell.
Therefore, there should be faith in this thing, and the more the better, but how to use it is open to discussion.

"Fresh blue grass sugar, sweet and sour, five copper coins and twelve strings, not delicious original price refund. β
A shout sounded, followed by one after another shouting, accompanied by bursts of fragrance, which made people feel that the world was worth it.
"Miss, Miss, slow down. β
A maid dressed in a maid costume, extremely fast, light footwork, at first glance, is a maid with a certain strength, and a helpless face chases after the beautiful girl in a gorgeous skirt in front of her, like an elf.
"Hahaha, that's great, I've never been here since I was a kid, Wei Na, hurry up, we don't have much time, I still want to go shopping!"
The girl known as Miss looked happily at everything around her, and at the same time saw that her maid had not yet followed, and pouted with some dissatisfaction.
"Miss, it naturally makes sense that the lord doesn't let you come here, most of these people are people from the Eastern Immortal Empire, not the people of our Elemental Empire, the Oriental race, no one knows if there are assassins and spies from the Immortal Empire, it's very dangerous. β
Wei Na was a little helpless, today is the day of Miss Irina Rashko's enrollment, and the lord told her a thousand times, but Miss Irina promised it well at the time, but she forgot it all when she turned around, or she didn't take it to heart at that time.
No, I came to a street rich in oriental folk customs here, looking at the small merchants and vendors selling everywhere along the street, the golden and brilliant stores, the restaurants built of pure wood, the green buildings and casinos that do not close at night, all of the above are the unique products of the Oriental Xianwu Empire, of course, the Elemental Empire also has similar.
The Elemental Empire has existed for tens of thousands of years, except for the initial thousand-year war, the Apostles of the Xianwu Empire recovered the land lost due to the rebellion of the five nobles by force, and wanted to destroy the Elemental Empire, so that the Xianwu Empire could maintain the name of the only empire and overlord of the human race.
But later, because of external pressure, internal factors, and various reasons, the attack was ten years, and the stalemate for hundreds of years did not give in to the newly established elemental empire, and after nearly a thousand years of cold war stage, because of the war, the Xianwu Empire was economically depressed and in urgent need of the market, so it traded with the elemental empire, and the elemental empire was initially built, and money was used everywhere, and the trade between the two countries was of great benefit to it, so the cold war between the two countries ended, and officially entered the stage of mutual communication.
After the trade, although the two countries were constantly in friction, hostile to each other, eager to catch the slightest flaw and put each other to death, but on the whole, both countries were maintaining restraint, the rulers of both countries were very sensible, and the classes that controlled the main rights of the two countries also gained huge benefits in this feast of exchange, so even today, the two countries continue to rub each other, but the trade routes between each other have not been cut off, and they are still unimpeded.
And this street full of characteristics from the Xianwu Empire is a product of this era,
It is also the best proof of this era.
Running through the crowded streets, Irina felt that she was incomparably free at the moment, without the etiquette of the Marquis's Mansion to be guarded, watched, and observed all the time.
Irina feels like a free bird, flying to her heart's content, but unfortunately the happy time is always short-lived, because today is the day of Irina's enrollment, entering the Elven Magic Academy to study, not only her, but also many children of princes and nobles, and then she took this opportunity to sneak out with the maid Wei Na in the middle of the way, enjoying a moment of leisure, the most important thing is the time to escape from her father's sight.
In this regard, Wei Na can only say, Miss Irina, you are really too naΓ―ve, how can the lord rest assured that you will come out alone?
Thinking that this was impossible, he glanced around vaguely, hooked a trace of arc on the side of his mouth, and chased after him.
"Did Weina spot us?"
"Nonsense, definitely, how can the maid next to Miss Irina be so simple?"
"Then let's be more hidden, although it is embarrassing to be discovered by Wei Na, but at least it is not discovered by the hidden enemy, otherwise..."
Thinking of it, a spirit, from the scalp to the toes, shivered.
Several voices as low as the humming of mosquitoes and flies flashed in the void, and Wei Na, who was quickly catching up with Miss Irina, also disappeared.
"How do you sell this thing?"
At this time, Irina was already squatting next to a stall, without the temperament of a noble lady, like a girl from an ordinary family, and she was not skilled in paying back the price with the stall owner.
What kind of person is the stall owner, he has been setting up a stall here for many years, what person, what background, what family status, you can see at a glance that one is not far from ten, looking at this luxuriously dressed, a small bead shining in the sun on the headdress on his head can buy all his own people with the stall is more than enough.
This kind of child, still so down-to-earth, this must be here to experience life, what kind of haven't you seen it for so many years?
So the stall owner treated him like an ordinary guest, and said: "This young lady, I can tell you that this hairpin in your hand is not ordinary, not to mention anything else, this ruby is a treasure, the mineral crystal veins in the great forest of strange beasts, extended to the outside of the mine hole dug out, pure natural formation, without any artificial carving, extremely rare, very valuable." β
"Really?o??"
Irina looked at the stall owner in shock, as if she was interested in his nonsense.
"Of course, this ruby was dug deep into the cave by dozens of mercenaries I hired, and several people were killed and injured for it, and I also compensated for the pension, the blood-stained ruby, do you say it is not precious? If it weren't for the sudden change in my family, which required a large sum of money, I would not have been able to take it out and sell it!"
The stall owner used his imagination to tell this aristocratic lady who obviously likes to listen to people's stories about his "legendary experience", maybe this talk, his own wine money will be available, if he gets it right, he can also go to the jade building to have a good time, wouldn't it be beautiful?
"What, it's still stained with human blood!"
Irina covered her mouth and exclaimed.
I don't know if she is afraid or not, while exclaiming, her face is full of shock, and she is still holding the hairpin inlaid with human blood rubies in her hand, playing with it in her hand.
"Although it is contaminated with human blood, it makes the aura of this thing burst out and can bring good luck to people. βγ
"Well, since that's the case, I'm going to ask for it, a hairpin with such an experience will definitely bring me good luck!"
As she spoke, Irina took out a gold coin and handed it to the stall owner.
