Chapter 129: Some Thoughts Before Departure

The Priest of Purtons left Rick's room, though his steps were still heavy, and the blue-gray stone floor made a "knock, knock, knock" sound. It can be seen from his swaying shoulders that he is in a good mood at this time, as if he is doing something that he dreams of. Or, some of the fellows who have been freed from something that has been heavy and oppressive for so long will have the cheerful behavior of the priest of Putons. In this kind of situation, Rick saw many examples from various novels, movies and television in his previous life. It's just that Rick never imagined that he would encounter such a scene one day.

Watching Priest Putons walk out of the room, Rick waved his hand a little frustratedly, and sat straight on his bed, then crossed his legs and closed his eyes. Earless, who had been waiting in the room, saw Rick's movements, and had been serving Rick for several years, so he naturally knew that Rick was thinking about some important things and could not be disturbed. hurriedly pulled up the stunned-looking steel horn next to him and left the room lightly. After gently closing the door, he and the steel horn stood quietly outside the door, one left and one right, and acted as a guard for the thinking Rick.

The action without ears, Rick's mind is clear. It's just that in addition to being very satisfied with Earless's performance, he didn't have time to think about what reward to give Earless. Because Rick knew that his immediate priority now was to consider the purpose of those so-called chats between the priest of Putons and himself. What is the impact on oneself whether it is benevolent or malicious?

Rick pondered the so-called chat between the two, and found that from the very beginning, Priest Purtons had mastered the rhythm of the conversation because of his status. It wasn't until Priest Pultons passed on the main part of the message he wanted to reveal to Rick to Rick through some mundane words that he didn't cling to Rick's attitude after Rick suddenly mentioned the problem about the island of the dead. It's kind of lifted high and put down gently.

From the words of the Priest of Putons, Rick sensed that there would definitely not be only one or two people who knew this information and had similar thoughts as the Priest of Putons. Among them, I am afraid that there will be more radical ideas. And the purpose of the priest of Putons to reveal this information to himself was definitely not to find a poor country to hide, as he said. I'm afraid I want to join them myself.

Luckily, a flash of inspiration flashed in Rick's mind at the time, and he diverted the topic with the question of the Isle of the Dead. Otherwise, it would be annoying to continue on those topics if Priest Putons forced Rick to make his own attitude to the information.

Rick himself is a priest, so he naturally knows that in the face of the ministers of the gods, the priests and priests of the major churches and temples, he will bring himself unlucky if he lies.

Rick would not reveal to the priest of Putons that he was not condensed with the 'Heart of Faith', but the 'Heart of Strength' with pseudo-divine power flowing through it. Naturally, the information that Priest Putons had given to Rick about 'faith and longevity' was of little use to Rick.

Anyway, Rick has already made up his mind, after the mercenary mission he took on this time is completed. After finding a random demonic beast to surrender and signing a partnership contract with the psychic song, he completed his travel trial, and then went to ask Mentor Andu to find a place with a corner to live in seclusion. When did I advance to the Holy Stage, and when did I come out? Come to think of it, at that time, I guess I was safer.

For Rick, the information about the god of the dead that Priest Putons later revealed so casually was really useful.

From the casual words of the priest of Putons, Rick sensed that the God of War Altar in the camp of the wise creatures on the Isle of the Dead was the best place to make some final preparations on his mission.

Rick is not afraid, and His Highness Kansnir, the God of War, knows that he has condensed the Heart of Strength, using pseudo-divine powers. That's because the gods have long agreed that they will not interfere with the lives of living beings in the mortal world at will. What's more, even if Rick can use pseudo-divine power, in the eyes of His Highness the God of War, he is just a big ant, which is not worth paying attention to.

Rick's own secrets, but what he wants to hide are those major temples, high-ranking priests, bishops, and the existence of the Holy Order, and those existences are the ones who need their secrets the most. If they know their secrets, even if they can't get them, they will definitely destroy themselves in every possible way, and at that time, everything will be over.

Because of this, after Rick successfully condensed the 'Heart of Strength' in the Temple of the God of War in the Free Federation's Port Tanos, he left in a hurry. Then, taking the opportunity of the mission, he asked the Fury steward of the Torres Chamber of Commerce to arrange a secluded villa for himself located outside the city. It's all about hiding your secrets better.

And after arriving at the altar of this camp, Rick easily knew that among the altars of the god of war, only the priest of Putons himself was the official priest, and he was also the strongest existence. Below, there were only two priestly apprentices and a small group of mid-rank warriors, who were guarding the altar.

Of those two priest apprentices, Rick had already seen one, and it was the Medusa snake people named Pukuster. The other priest apprentice is said to have been seriously injured during the last undead rebellion attacking the camp and has been recuperating in his room.

Rick has been in close contact with the Priest of Putons, and he clearly knows that although the Priest of Putons is very strong, compared to himself who has condensed the heart of strength, although he is still very strong, he is also limited, and it is impossible to see through his hidden secrets. As long as you set up your own improved 'Holy Ju Technique' in the room, and let the earless and steel horns guard the door, you can make more preparations for the task you took on this time in the room. After all, when I was in the port of Tanos, time was a little rushed. In order to disguise the pseudo-divine power as the 'song power' like other god of war priests, or the holy power, I spent a lot of time and energy.

Although most of the materials I needed had been found, and for this mission, the talisman rune stones that I wanted to make and prepare equivalent to the magician's scroll were also designed, but because of lack of time, I didn't finish the final work. Originally, he was going to do it on the road, but now, now that he has the opportunity and the resources to spare, of course Rick himself has to be more fully prepared.

Thinking of this, Rick raised his voice and beckoned Earless to enter the room. Then he gave him some orders, and after he went to buy it or ask for someone, and fetched Rick some more materials he needed, the door to Rick's room closed again.

And this time, Rick naturally used the 'Holy Juju Technique' to isolate the inside and outside, and ordered Earless and Steel Horn to guard the door. It wasn't until the early hours of the morning, seven or eight hours later, that Rick opened the door with a tired face.

Knowing that it was almost time to leave, Rick told him to call him so that he could get a good night's sleep. Then, he gave Wu'er and Steel Horn some of the talisman holy power rune stones that had been made, and after explaining the usage, he closed the door again and went to sleep.

It wasn't until he was woken up by an earless knock on the door that Rick knew that the most dangerous journey he would ever have to go through after crossing into this world was about to begin.
