Chapter 363: Divine Messenger
After signing the soul contract, Hathaway was not worried that Alonso would betray him, even if it did the slightest thought, it would be punished by the contract, and with it mining ore in the demon plane, Hathaway was much more relieved, as long as this silver ape demon did not die, Hathaway did not care about the life or death of other demons.
Now that a month has passed, Hathaway has already sensed that the magic power to open the plane passage has been accumulated enough, if it weren't for her eagerness to let the Chiyang Yan Iron Vein be mined as soon as possible, she would not have entered the demon plane again in the current situation.
Of course, if it weren't for entering the demon plane this time, the little banshee might not have survived until she entered again, and the discovery of the demon spirit temple might have waited a long time later...... These are just assumptions and have no practical meaning. After giving Alonso the order, Hathaway tossed him a few more weapons, his hammer was too impuritious, and Hathaway gave him a better silver hammer and a shield of the same class. However, the most terrifying thing about the Silver Ape Demon is its talent, as long as it is used well, it is not difficult to advance to the next level.
The next question is the seven abyssal goblins.
Little Nicole must have gone to the surface world with her, perhaps due to the influence of the blood breath, during this time the little banshee and Hathaway got along very well, and the veteran also greatly appreciated this little girl. Perhaps due to the long-term life in adversity and the extremely early awakening of the bloodline talent, the little banshee is very tenacious, and in training, whether it is physical elements or nerve reactions, the reversibility is extremely strong, and she is a good seedling worth cultivating.
As for the other six adult abyssal elves, Hathaway had to be cautious. As far as she knew. Among the elves, the abyssal elves and the dark elves are related by blood. In fact, all elves can be said to be of the low-level blood of the elf clan, and they are not the same concept as half-bloods. The character of the abyssal elves is more changeable and darker than that of the dark elves, otherwise it would not have been possible to throw themselves into the camp of demons in that great battle for the survival of the race, and thus lost the favor of the gods - although they still worship Athena, they cannot be protected by her.
"Meet the Oracle!"
Among the six abyssal goblins. One of the oldest male goblins suddenly made Hathaway a near-five-body bow again. The other six abyssal goblins did the same, but although Nicole also knelt down, her little face still had an ignorant look.
Oracle?
Hathaway was a little confused.
"Did you recognize the wrong person?" Hathaway asked.
She had the intention of using these abyssal goblins, after all, she could be regarded as saving them. Let them work for a few years. It's better than being eaten by a demon, right?
But she definitely didn't mean to play tricks. Don't mention materialism or anything, but what she still hates the most is the god stick, even if there is really a god standing in front of her. I don't want to convert her.
"That's right, aren't you wearing an Abyss Cloak? It was my god's battle suit, an artifact she gave to the Abyss Clan, and only those favored by my god could wear this battle suit! The old abyssal goblin said.
I see.
Hathaway immediately put away the Abyss Cloak, which immediately turned into wisps of dark green light and sank into the ring on her hand.
"You're wrong, I'm just a human, not an oracle." Hathaway said lightly.
"Hathaway, you have been recognized by the Abyss Cloak, and in a certain way, that is, you have been recognized by the goddess Athena, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you are an oracle." The veteran's voice suddenly sounded in her head.
"But I'm not a believer in Athena."
Hathaway made no secret of it, "The Abyss Suit is very good, but if you want to believe in a god for this reason, what is the difference between it and selling yourself?" β
"Don't get so excited, it doesn't matter if you're a believer in God or not. Athena is not an evil god or a demon god, as long as your actions are not contrary to the will of the gods, then you can act as an oracle and act in the name of an oracle.
The Abyss Clan has lost the favor of the Goddess by betraying the Elves in the past, and if you can subdue them, it will be of great help to you in controlling the Demon Plane and conquering the Titan World. β
Hathaway pouted to herself: "I'm not that ambitious. β
But the tone had softened.
"Everyone is a pawn on the wheel of fate, and from the moment of birth, there is no possibility of getting out. However, when a chess piece has absolute strength, it can still change the fate of oneself or others. Hathaway, the Abyssal Suit and the Barbarian King's Crown are opportunities for change, and they must not be missed, and you must not miss them. The veteran's tone became more and more like that of a god.
Well, Hathaway admits he has a point.
In fact, I have lived in this world for more than two years, plus the life experience of my previous life, some things cannot be transferred by personal will, as far as I am concerned, if I am still the Hathaway who just escaped from the magic academy, I don't know how many are dead...... Well, she essentially quit in the first place.
"What's your name?" Hathaway looked at the old leprechaun kneeling in front of her.
"Ali Red......
A few words are omitted at the end, the name of the goblin is very long, but fortunately Nicole is too young to remember those, and the old man finally introduces his identity: "I am an abyss priest." β
The abyssal goblins can use magic weapons, but they don't have magicians, but their sacrifices can perform magic skills, some of which are also elemental, but after losing the gods, the sacrifices can no longer use magic skills, just like the traveling Taoist priests in the earth world today, they can only eat with their racial talent - no sacrifices, at least they are still a warrior.
"Will you, and you, be loyal to me?" Hathaway asked faintly.
"Yes, Lord God, we are willing to be loyal to your lord and never rebel for the rest of our lives!" Ali Red was stunned for a moment, then looked overjoyed, and immediately issued an oath, followed by the five adult goblins behind him...... According to the normal Cheng dΓΉ, it seems that one should first swear to return to the banner of the goddess Athena. It's just that the long years of exile have made the abyss goblin, who has always been arrogant, understand the most common truth - the county official is not as good as the current management, and now the divine envoy is the greatest, and loyalty to the divine envoy is loyalty to the goddess.
Just as the abyssal elves made their vows, a vast aura suddenly emanated from Hathaway, and the bodies of Ali Red and the other two female abyssal elves suddenly emitted a layer of golden light, although it was fleeting, the time of existence was extremely short. But all three wept with joy. Chant the name of Athena and thank the goddess and the goddess for their grace.
"You ...... now? How does it feel? β
Hathaway was a little confused, the aura was made by the veteran, she just opened and closed the fairy garden quickly. But the bodies of those three people radiated a golden light. I don't know what's going on.
"My lord. We have never felt so powerful as we do today, and the Abyssal Clan has lost their power since they were banished by Athena. Now......" Ali Red couldn't help but be so excited that he couldn't help but lose his voice and become bitter.
"Alright, Alired, how many of your people are left?" Hathaway was most concerned about this issue.
"Lord Huishen, after the Abyss Clan was banished, most of the tribes were exiled to different planes, and we are a relatively small tribe, originally following other tribes......"
With Ali Red's story, Hathaway understood their situation, in another demon plane, they had to endure the exploitation of the big tribe on the one hand, and on the other hand, they had to escape the hunt of demons, and later the elders of this tribe found a plane passage that was not very stable, so they came here, and in order to avoid the more powerful demons chasing them, they also destroyed the plane passage.
However, this is not a paradise either, and due to the forced entry into the plane passage, some elders have either died or been seriously injured in the process of migration. What happened later is not well known to Alired, but after several migrations, the tribe moved into a mountain range and was captured by Alonso during a hunting trip.
"Our tribe still has about 3,000 people, most of them are warriors, and there are very few sacrifices." Alired reported on their tribe in a low voice.
Sacrifices were originally the most respected among the tribes, and most of the elders in the tribes were originally priests.
However, during the long years of exile, the priests who had lost their divine favor could not use the divine arts, and their status in the tribe became lower and lower, and the vast majority of the elders in the current elder group were warriors, and usually only those who were weak or not very good in martial arts would serve as sacrifices, and constantly pray to the goddess Athena.
"Ali Red, Nicole comes with me, you go back to the tribe and contact the patriarch, if you want to continue to live in this plane, you can build a city here, I am responsible for providing living materials and construction materials. If they want to go back to the Titan world, I can also provide them with a place to live. There is only one condition, allegiance to me. Otherwise, I can deprive you of your power again. Hathaway said in a deep voice.
"Yes, Your Excellency." Ali Red and the others all prostrate on the ground.
This is an opportunity for the Abyss Elf Clan, and if they miss it, they will really have to wait for the day when the Clan will be wiped out.
Hathaway sent Aried and the others away, and began to recite the spell that opened the plane passage, and as the spell was completed, she sent the blue back to the Nether Gem and stepped into the plane passage with Nicole.
And just as Alired and the others were regaining the power of the sacrifice, in a rolling mountain range far away from them, a surprising change also took place - in an old temple of Athena, a hobbled old priest was holding a rag and preparing to sweep the dust off the table in front of the statue, and suddenly, his raised arm froze above the table, and he looked at the statue of Athena in surprise.
A layer of emerald green brilliance emanated from the idol, and the priest immediately felt that a force was growing and growing in his body.
"It was God, it was Athena who finally answered the prayers of her people!!!"
The old priest was ecstatic, and after kneeling down a few times, he rushed out of the temple like crazy: "Oracle ......"
Almost at the same time, the other sacrifices of the tribe, no matter where they were, all felt a soft and vast power growing in their bodies, and at the same time as some mysterious and inexplicable information appeared in their minds, one by one divine information also appeared in their minds at the same time, and golden halos erupted from their bodies.
"Heal!"
A priest who was smearing the wounded with mashed liquid jerked down the jar and raised his hand...... A pale green aura fell on the wounded's affected area, and the terrible wound quickly healed with a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
In different parts of the tribe, the jubilant priests, after unleashing one magic after another, all wept and bowed to the ground to thank the gods.
The entire tribe erupted in cheers...... Divine art, even if it is an old man who has survived to the present day, no one has seen it, the appearance of divine magic indicates the return of divine grace, and they are no longer a clan!
In a cave in the center of the tribe, Argyle, the more than 400-year-old matron, was discussing a new hunting plan with several elders when she heard a commotion outside.
"What's wrong? Could it be that a demon is coming? β
Argyle's face immediately became solemn, he stood up abruptly and strode outside, the other elders were stunned for a moment, and they also quickly got up and walked outside.
Similar to the social structure of the dark elves, in the fairy tribe, it is also dominated by women, and the patriarch of the tribe is called the matriarch, in addition, the status of male goblins is the same as that of female goblins, and they are not as noble and low as the dark elves. And the master mother of the abyss goblin clan has always respected the warrior, worshipping and presiding over the temple, and becoming a separate one, with authority higher than that of the warrior - this refers to before the banishment, and after the exile, the sacrifices who lost their minds were almost knocked off the altar.
Before they could get out of the cave, a warrior had already rushed in like the wind, and after seeing the cold gazes of Argyle and several elders, he shivered, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee: "Repay the master mother, the divine grace has returned!" β
"What did you say?"
"True or false?"
"If you dare to speak ......"
"It's true!"
A loud voice rang out outside, and then an old priest walked in from the outside, holding a spell that was almost a fist higher than his body.
"Elder Biabo, ...... you say" Argyle's eyes widened in disbelief, and he felt a powerful aura from the body of the old priest in front of him.
"Maybe the sins of the Abyss Clan have been removed, and Her Majesty the Goddess has finally responded, and the Divine Grace has re-descended on our Clan, and the Oracle has also been issued." Biabo couldn't hide his joy in his face.
"Mythology?"
Argyle and several elders all stood up solemnly, and after glancing at each other, they said in a deep voice, "Elder Biabo, please wait a moment, we will gather all the elders immediately, and then listen to the oracle together." (To be continued......)
