Chapter 39.1-A: Standing at the beginning of the path to godhood
·
You're looking forward to the Fallen Angel's bribe, and she'll be delivered to the Labyrinth Village tonight.
The otaku mage still has a total of two steel golems, and they will all be delivered later. He was engaged in research, not mass-produced, and it took a lot of time to make a smaller, finely crafted girl's version of the golem, and it could not be completed in two or three months. The teleportation array is also under construction and will be delivered soon.
For dinner, you gather around Shanting.
"Baby, I'll eat it myself. ”
"Hmm. ”
Hathaway lowered her head and handed the knives and forks to Shanting, and some of the guild members followed you to eat delicious food while admiring the deep blue sky and choppy sea in the open air next to the dry well. Later, a sheltered hut will be built here, and it will not be possible for three generations to be so exposed to the wind and rain. There is an indescribable and wonderful atmosphere in her speech and demeanor, which can firmly attract everyone's attention.
When she was the leader of the Adventurer's Guild in the ancient city, she got along well with the guards and the market, but the council didn't like her in any way, and even sent several killers.
When Shanting was discredited because of his unwarranted frame-up, he was transferred to Splitting Cloud City, saying that serving the gods was actually house arrest, and he also had to suffer all kinds of bullying. It wasn't until the situation in Cloud Splitting City suddenly changed that she was transferred here again.
It seemed that Shanting had regained her composure, and her smile was a little murderous before.
You have turned the conversation to how to get her out.
"I guess......" she smiled with a tilting of her head, "a lot of work done with the Adventurer's Guild should help, at the very least, to untie the first chain." Now that I have become one with this dry well, both spiritually, physically, and soulfully, feeding the dry well more will increase its strength and drag me down, and conversely, if it can satisfy my soul, it will increase my strength and rise - it is a lifelong regret that I did not protect the Adventurer's Guild. Help me make it up, complete more adventurer commissions and show me the mission details...... It is also my atonement. ”
"By the way, I've already seen the details of the missions Hathaway brought, and the Berserk Wolf, Shark Man, Goblin, Nezumi, and Harpy missions have given me a total of 5% of the float, and the first chain has loosened slightly. At present, 50-20+5=35%"
Sounds pretty simple, you just have to do your guild's job.
The problem is that this isolated island no longer has any commissions, so it can only be looked out. First, start with your territory.
After dinner, the teleporter is built and you plan to return to the territory.
Hathaway sat next to Shanting and looked back at you: "President, now that "Lord Grow" has become like this, she needs someone to take care of her. Since you're going to sleep in the territory tonight, I want to stay. ”
Night?
How are you going to respond to Hathaway?
A, don't worry about other things, take care of the three generations, just come to the meeting every evening.
B, (nodding silently)
C,...... Since you have to say that, let's do it "first" tonight.
D, it's okay for one night, but if you spend every day with you, your own body will be dragged down. Don't forget what your responsibilities are.
Then he turned and walked away.
I see, I see...... From the beginning, Hathaway never added "adult" after the word "president", and thought it was the arrogance of a self-acquaintance or an old staff, but in fact, only three generations are "presidents", and everyone else is "presidents". Hathaway has a similar attitude towards you and little Kyle, except that she is a little special about Shanting. A certain sea should not be a lace edge, you have personally confirmed.
Could it be that there is something special about it?
Annette suddenly whispered in your ear, "What's wrong with you, Lord?" You shake your head, nothing happens.
It's not just you who don't look good, it's Melanie. She has a stinky face as she welcomes you back to the Territory Castle as you walk through the new teleporter. Melanie saluted you, and said without looking up, "Your "thing" has been carried to the bedroom, and it is so tightly wrapped that no one but me notices what is inside. "She has blood vision, she can see through.
You can't be sure how loyal Melanie is to you now, but it's down quite a bit. Far from being a matter of women being jealous, it's that the longer you live, the more inexplicable stubbornness a creature becomes, a firm believer in aesthetics, and what you do becomes more and more disgusting.
Elizabeth poked your finger in the back and whispered, "Hey, don't think about those weird things, you're too worried." "Elizabeth is reminding you to dispel your strange wariness - a few seconds ago, you were thinking about whether a level 20 vampire Daywalker would be able to beat it if she turned on it. According to Melanie's personality, she is more likely to hold your leg and cry cowardly for a change of heart than to turn your face and attack you...... After all, I've done it before.
There are more and more cronies, and it is becoming more and more difficult to keep everyone happy.
Entering the castle's bedroom, you tell the others not to come in and disturb you, then humming a song to unwrap the nails of a long wooden box in which a female mummy is wrapped. shredding the strips of cloth, revealing silky strands of hair that shimmered like gold and,
Touching golden eyes,
Turning slightly spiritually, he looks at your face. Her skin is obviously not mortal, and mortal skin is not so smooth, supple and flawless.
Her pair of wings slowly spread out from the position in front of her, about two meters three or four wide, and about one meter six or five in height, no one's limited vocabulary can accurately describe the creature in front of you. You recall that it was written in the books that all angels are born of the essence of the sea of stars, and that they are "fragments of divinity."
...... So beautiful.
It's unbelievable, how could anyone take an angel as a gift, and how did they catch it?
The angel slowly stepped out of the wooden box,
Approaching you,
Stand at a distance where you can feel each other's snorts.
She said to you slowly, "Such a weak divine power, no wonder I can't find you." There was no emotion in his expression or tone. You can't help but take a few steps back and find yourself unable to stand up, as if you don't have any other thoughts when you see a flawless work of art like a painting or a stone statue. What is in front of you is not a mortal thing.
What does that mean?
"I was born in the sea of stars because of you, and I was born to belong to you. But unlike the other angels, I barely felt your presence, and I had no choice but to wander around the uninhabited site of an adventurer's guild called the Ancient City of Slave Traders. I can't say your name, I don't know what you look like, I cut off all the clues, and many mortals tell me that everyone in this building is desolate, either dead or imprisoned or exiled, except for one man, four generations. ”
"When I realized that these mortals could take me to you, I pretended to be arrested. Mortals' thinking is quite simple, and they can be understood at a glance. ”
Speaking of which,
Tian tore off the slave collar around his neck with one finger, then raised his wings, bowed to you on one knee, bowed his head, and said, "My lord, I give everything to you. ”
......
......
Damn, what the hell?
·
The next morning, you put your hands on your forehead, and you didn't do anything last night and didn't sleep well, although the original plan was to use the angel for entertainment, but your body was disobedient.
The angel stands right next to you, like a statue, except for the occasional movement of his eyes.
According to her,
You are a kind of "man-made demigod", that is, a "pseudo-demigod", probably because you have eaten the remains of the gods. Almost every good god will have their own angels, and no matter whether the gods are in the order-abiding camp or not, the angels are all good-natured. Angels are born out of thin air in the void of the stars, and since the beginning of their birth, they serve a clear god, they are God's messengers, sent by God to carry out God's will. Not long after you ate the remains, she was born. Normally, she should arrive at your side immediately, but she doesn't feel your weakness for a moment.
"Yes, you're right...... "Elizabeth pats the towel in your face as she stares at the angel, "she looks down on you, and is desperate because she was unlucky with her birth, and at the same time sees serving you as her only purpose of existence." Wow, it's been a long time since I've heard such a tangled heart. ”
Elizabeth gloated with a chuckle.
The five fingers of the angel's right hand were spread out, and he summoned a shining sword: "You should allow me to slay this evil creature." ”
“...... What?" Elizabeth put down her basin and pulled out her dagger.
If there is a real fight, it is difficult to say who will win.
Ordinary angels have divine powers, about level 13-16, but their actual power is much higher than the level. Although this angel pretends to be weakened, she is actually level 13, but the god she serves, that is, you, has no power.
Yes, that's right! You did swear to get far beyond mortal power when you walked out of the Inquisition of the Bay alive, but what the hell are pseudo-demigods? Now even angels have been born.
You hugged Elizabeth,
Then I was relieved that I was still healthy, but only for a flawless existence...... It's just a little insensitive.
·
It's hard to hide the fact that an angel with a glowing golden glow is behind you, especially since she's so picturesque.
The guild staff are all staring at the angel beside you, in a daze. It's a bit hard to accept for a while.
As if to alleviate the awkward atmosphere, Tong En said, "After the man-made evil god of the Altar Giant Mouth was killed a long time ago, the remaining divine power was connected to the dry well. If you are also killed, the remaining divine power will probably remain in the crotch of your pants, ......right? Scold...... Why are you staring at me like that? I'm kidding!"
"If you really become a man-made demigod, what is your realm?" asked Julianne in a serious manner, "True gods have five realms. ”
You hold your forehead.
Annette asked, "Become a god...... What does it feel like?"
You change your posture and hold your forehead.
"I feel like I'm about to be assassinated by a paladin. Hathaway sighed deeply, "I don't think Captain Elander, the Vaal Pope, the Law Enforcement Team, and the Shrine would allow an artificial pseudo-demigod to breathe air, which would be difficult for believers to accept. After that, Julianne nodded vigorously with deep feelings, as if she would assassinate you if she had changed her position. Who are you provoking and provoking whom? is so dignified, and suddenly he is declared to be a demigod, and he doesn't have any divine power.
"Let's get back to business. ”
Hathaway pointed to the map of the kingdom and continued to preside over the meeting.
The next step for the Adventurer's Guild should be to establish a branch guild in the labyrinth village. Kingdom law dictates that the adventurer's guild should be primarily local, and the occasional border crossing is not pursued, but it is not a long-term solution - at the end of the day, there is nothing in the island, and the guild will either retire or expand outward, with no third way.
As a liege, you can build whatever you want in your realm, except for officially recognized institutions such as the Guardian or the Adventurer's Guild. It would have been a dream to start a new Adventurer's Guild on its own, but now you're a member of the ruling hierarchy. The law is for the nobles to play again.
This evening, you'll want to try to propose at a meeting of the Rulers: start a new Adventurer's Guild in your own territory. This should be regarded as a "little thing" that mainly involves oneself.
Easy to do, probably.
"There are now a total of five adventurer guilds recognized by the kingdom. Hathaway pointed to the map, "Except for us, everyone else is in terrible shape." There is a family in "Cloud Splitting City", the president died in a fire last week and is now out of business; our successor in the "Ancient City of Slave Trading" has resigned and returned to his hometown after being seriously ill in prison and is in debt; the "Wisteria Ghost Ridge" in the west has been abandoned for many years, and the last president of the "Eagle Eye Oasis" in the west of the north has committed treason and fled and has been out of business for half a year. Five Lane Bay has been officially cancelled. There are no adventurer's guilds in the east, and there are two in the central and southern borders, and it can be seen from this that who supports the king and who is anti-king. Everyone knows that the king was an adventurer in his youth. ”
It is said that the bishop of "Cloud Splitting City" held a speech of 10,000 people a while ago, followed by a large number of burns burning all over the city, and no one can say what the specific situation is. Maybe Shanting knows the inside story, and she was transferred to custody at that point in time.
Where are you going to try to expand your business? This is considered a "middle matter" and may require a bribe. I can't figure it out for a moment.
1, Split Cloud City
2. The ancient city of slave traders
3, Wisteria Ghost Ridge
4. Eagle Eye Oasis
To become a branch president, you must have a certain intensity, otherwise it will be over quickly. This time, you'll take advantage of the island's free time to support the chapter leader...... It turns out that they really can't survive without help.
1. Tong En touched his chin and suddenly made a proposal that everyone didn't expect: "Actually, I've always wanted to say, why do you have to arrange a branch president in the branch? They definitely won't survive, but as long as there is no president, the president won't die." Isn't it?"
“...... What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I mean, remove the branch president, and if there's something going on with the local governing body's spokesperson, just go straight to the president, the sole leader. If they dare. ”
2. "I've thought about this issue too, but I have other opinions. Hathaway said, "We should nominate adventurers to be branch leaders, such as Rachel or Geman, whose survivability has been proven. Of the first three, the first generation was the longest, and he was an adventurer himself. It is also from the beginning of our four generations that we have gradually built up a fearsome reputation from the beginning. ”
"I can't imagine what Rachel or Octavia Adam would be like......"
"At least no one could have imagined that they would be assassinated easily, right? ”
3. Or send your "apostles" to be branch presidents, at least they have the power to protect them now.
