Chapter 234: The Oracle
In the void, everything seems to be in chaos and silence, and if any mortal can see this endless void, he will definitely be shocked by the vastness of this void.
It's just that in the void where everything should have been nothing, there were occasional building fragments floating by, as if something had existed in this void.
At this moment, a majestic and somewhat weak voice came from the void.
"Who is it that is invading my authority, who is it?"
…
Ironwood Fort
Aragorn was still bargaining with Richard, and after obtaining enough magic crystals, he was not satisfied with continuing to exist in the form of a soul, but asked Richard to collect some suitable lotus roots, supplemented by other materials to refine a body for himself,
This familiar operation made Richard call him an expert, and even suspected that Aragorn was the reincarnation of a certain god, until after many side knocks, he learned that this kind of alchemy body refining was a common means for some old mages in the magic era to renew their lives after the body was old.
Aragorn's new body, the materials used can't be said to be bad, at least they are collected with heart, it is definitely difficult for ordinary people to gather these materials, but they are not precious, at least it doesn't take much effort to collect materials,
Aragorn had the idea of changing himself to a better body, Richard understood it very well, but this opening made Hai Xinlian talk to death directly.
Compared with the Cold Spring Gem, the Sea Heart Lotus is definitely a more precious treasure, and this thing can help the peak of the knight level break through to the stage of the great knight with a little medicine.
Even legend has it that as long as the portion is sufficient, the Great Knight can play a certain role when he breaks through to the Earth Knight at the peak.
Every small piece of this kind of sea heart lotus is sky-high, and if you want Richard to get the weight of making a body, not to mention whether there are so many goods on the market, even if there are Richard, you can't afford it, if you dare to buy it, the Hunter family's finances will explode directly on the spot, which is much more terrifying than when he goes to the market every month to sweep the goods.
Faced with Aragon's unreasonable demands, Richard of course had to refuse.
"Your Majesty, do you know that I have a small territory in the countryside here, and I can't afford it, for the sake of us two allies, change the conditions?"
Although Richard's current strength is quite strong, it can be said that in the kingdom, as long as he does not scare the royal family, he is not afraid of any other forces, even the strongest Duke of Ross in the West, Richard is also confident that he will suppress it in high-end force.
But in terms of Richard's character, in the face of such an enemy whose strength is unknown, it is natural to attract all the combat power that can be used, and now that Aragorn is living in his castle with unfathomable strength, wouldn't it be too wasteful not to try to let him make a move.
"Otherwise, if you transfer control of the Elven King Ring to me, I can also fight to help you once."
"This, I won't transfer control."
Richard is telling the truth, through the blacksmith shop repaired the Elf King Ring directly completed the binding with Richard, the process in the middle is not clear at all, let Richard transfer control is completely blind.
And Richard is not willing to transfer the control of the Elf King Ring in his heart, not to mention that this ring is a treasure created by the most powerful Elf King in the past, and it is very likely that there is something to hide secrets in it,
It's the ability of this ring to convert magic power into soul power that Aragorn can use, and Richard is not willing to hand over control.
Richard was also not 100% trusting of Aragorn.
"Then there is no way, after all, this loss is too great, and my current state can't bear it."
Aragorn buried his head and took another sip of the tea that he couldn't taste at all, looking helpless.
Richard could see that his teeth were itching, but he couldn't do anything about it, although the two were allies, but they were limited to dealing with the god of the rising sun, and Aragorn didn't care much about the orcs and the kingdom.
Although Richard could also try to force Aragorn to submit through the supply of magic crystals or the ability of the Elven King Ring, it was really too ugly to do so, and Richard would not easily force a former king unless it was absolutely necessary, especially when the other party was likely to have the ability to kill him instantly.
In the end, the topic of conversation came to some of the secrets of the establishment of the kingdom back then, Richard picked out some things he wanted to know and asked, and Aragorn looked like an old god, answering Richard's questions according to his mood, anyway, this ally is definitely an uncle-level ally.
…
River valley, a rich family's garden.
Although there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor in the valley, there are still a large number of people living in extreme poverty, but it is undeniable that the valley is richer than the rest of the kingdom.
At least the proportion of rich people here is relatively high, and they are strong, unlike the northland, where there are few decent people except for the nobles, and some of the rich families in the river valley live no worse than the nobles.
This courtyard with a garden was the property of a wealthy merchant in the valley.
The yard covers a medium size, close to ten acres, but the sparrows are small and have all the organs.
The fountains, statues, and houses in the courtyard are quite few, and the interior decoration is quite exquisite, the ornaments, carpets, and some paintings are all fine, and their luxury is not lost to the nobles in the city of Bolai, the only deficiency is that the location of this courtyard is somewhat remote, and there are not even a few villages around, and it is already at the very edge of the river valley.
"Your Excellency, this place is a bit remote, and I have wronged you."
"It's okay, it's better to be remote."
In order to avoid being discovered by the kingdom's spies, Mixiu took Hussein and other core members of the Cult of the Rising Sun to live in this relatively secluded courtyard under the arrangement of the archbishop of the valley.
There are two reasons why Yashu chose to recuperate in the river valley.
The first is that the valley is not a royal domain directly under the royal family after all, and the existence of the black prison and other official forces here is still delicate, and the only garrison corps of the river valley that represents the official strength of the royal capital can only be partially stationed in Zhenbei Pass, and part of it is directly stationed in the city of Bolai, and some remote villages outside the city are naturally beyond the reach of the whip, even if they want to manage it, they can't manage it, and the nobles of the valley are even more normal for the kingdom's orders to obey the yin, and even the quantifiable task of transporting materials has to be played in every possible way. Not to mention the thankless task of searching for the remnants of the Cult of the Rising Sun, it would be nice to be able to do it.
Second, Mi Xiu is always a little unwilling in his heart, the river valley is closer to the north, according to Mi Xiu's idea, after recuperating his body, at least the affairs of the north should be solved, and he will be called the so-called number one master of the kingdom, Richard.
"Prepare some simple food, don't waste it, just have enough to eat."
"Yes, His Majesty."
Mixiu's life is simple, and the people around him are used to it, anyway, it is impossible for the people who follow Mixiu to think about fine clothes and food, and even the manor where he lives is beyond the standard in his opinion.
"Huh?"
"So, what's that?"
Just as the people of the Cult of the Rising Sun gathered together to prepare for their meal, the sudden appearance in front of them made everyone stunned in place.
A ball of golden red light and shadow slowly condensed in front of everyone, and finally became a mass of human shape, and the facial features of light and shadow were clearly visible at the end.
In this scene, not to mention ordinary people, even Pope Mixiu squinted at this moment, staring closely at this light and shadow, obviously not at peace in his heart.
And the next sentence of light and shadow directly made everyone fall into shock and excitement.
"I am the servant of the Lord of the Rising Sun, and there are despicable thieves in the mortal world who try to usurp my lord's authority while he is sleeping.
In the North, find him, destroy him! ”
After that, the humanoid light and shadow that claimed to be a divine servant turned into a fire-colored streamer again, and suddenly burrowed into the scepter in Mixiu's hand.
Mixiu's expression moved slightly when this light and shadow burrowed into the scepter in his hand, and he didn't do anything more in the end.
After the light and shadow drilled into the black scepter, the scepter, which was not conspicuous at all, seemed to have suddenly triggered some mechanism.
The dark red sparkle pattern is all over the black scepter, and the perfect combination of red and dark colors makes the scepter, which was originally a little rustic, extremely luxurious.
"This..."
"That face just now, I remembered, he is Lord Rand, the divine servant next to the Lord of the Rising Sun, I have seen it in the divine canon, it is really Lord Divine Servant."
The person who spoke was also a bishop-level figure of the Rising Sun God Cult, who had always been known in the sect for being proficient in various scriptures, and he confirmed that he should be able to confirm the identity of Light and Shadow.
"Great Lord of the Rising Sun! Dear Rand Priest! ”
Just now, everyone who was still a little stunned immediately knelt down towards Mi Xiu excitedly, even Hussein, who had always been resolute, and forcibly knelt on the ground regardless of his armor.
Some people even burst into tears of excitement, the legendary oracle actually let them witness with their own eyes that the god of the rising sun really exists, and this kind of long-believed god manifestation is really too inspiring, and before doing anything, they swept away the haze of continuous failures before, and their morale rose to the extreme.
Only Yaxiu didn't know what to think about anymore, but after a pause, he raised the scepter that turned dark red in his hand.
"The Rising Sun is eternal!"
"The Rising Sun is eternal!"
