Chapter 1660: Appeal (ask for a monthly pass, ask for a subscription, ask for a recommendation) ask for a monthly pass!!
Truth be told, this 'Ogmar's Book of Changes' isn't unusual, if you don't count the changes in the final battle of the wise, this magic book is a legendary item at best, and it's not top-notch, at least for Soram. And Solam had encountered similar magical items before, in Askatra.
When Solam and Ascatla's people fought together to defeat the sewer seal, the legendary mage Oswid was accidentally killed by Alfred when facing Alfred, when Soram snatched his relic, but was later redeemed by Osvet, and when Oswider redeemed the 'relic', he took out a similar magic book, which had much effect. It's just not as powerful as this magic book.
Soram was very interested in that magic book at first, but later because it was really not cost-effective, Soram forgot about it, and then simply gave it as a gift to Lilith, who was 'studying abroad' in Silvermoon City. In fact, if he hadn't seen the 'Ogmar Book of Changes' today, Solam wouldn't have remembered that he had ever had something like it.
It looked glamorous, but it wasn't really useful, at least for Soram.
The 'Ogmar Book of Changes' is not too much different, and many of its changes are just as useful to Solam, except for the last one, the Battle of the Wise.
Although this name is very similar to 'mentally retarded' if pronounced quickly, I have to say that its attributes are really powerful! Definitely a demigod.
But there was a little bit of curiosity about Solam, who came up with this idea in the first place? It's really not like a mage's staff, especially with this one of its attributes: hitting an enemy dispels spells on them......
Solam didn't even know how to describe this attribute, what mage would use a staff to go to the K-man shirtless? If this thing is given to an ordinary mage, it is estimated that he will not use this attribute in his life. But it's different with Soram, who loves hand-to-hand combat!
Soram thought about it and pinned the magic book to his belt so that he could use it at any time. The mage's belts all had this design, but Soram had rarely used them before. At the same time, Solam was thinking about another thing, and that was why Ogma showed up to give him this magical item.
Solam is not a fool, of course he has already reacted, the old man just now is the incarnation of Ogma! Solam had heard the legend that Ogma's avatar would roam the central tower, but he didn't expect to meet him, and not only that, but he also chatted with the master of knowledge for a long time, and even smoked a cigarette together.
Soram didn't believe that a powerful god would be so idle, and he came to fart just to chat with Soram. This deity must have asked for something.
Don't think that gods don't have needs, on the contrary, gods are greedy, this is the same whether it is evil or good, it can even be said that gods may be the most greedy life in the entire multiverse, they not only want mortals to worship them when they are alive, but even after the fact, they want mortal souls to enter their kingdom of gods and continue to serve them. And the demand never ends.
They will do everything they can to expand their influence, make themselves stronger, in turn expand their influence again, and then continue to make themselves stronger.
In the past, Solam would still wonder what these gods had been working hard for, or what direction they were working towards? Keep getting stronger? It wasn't until he met Elistra later that Soram learned that the gods also had the helplessness of the gods.
They are also beings and have their own needs. One of the most fundamental needs is to survive......
Isn't it surprising that as the highest life form in the multiverse, the gods' greatest wish is to live. Considering that the gods have always claimed that they are immortal, it seems even more ironic.
If the gods want to exist forever, they must have faith, and the power of faith is their food and the foundation of their existence. As long as they are remembered, and there are people who pray like them, they will be resurrected even if they are killed. Conversely, even if they are alive, as long as they are forgotten, then they are dead, and they can never be resurrected.
In short, gods are not idle creatures, on the contrary, they have their own purpose in everything they do, and they are very purposeful, even if they are good gods. Although it cannot be said that their kindness is the kind of very utilitarian kindness, in any case, when they spread kindness, they are also satisfying themselves.
And the master of knowledge is naturally not the kind of idle and boring god, he appears in front of Solam, and he must have his appeals, which Soram can be sure. The question now is, what is his appeal?
The gods are not good at this, they can never tell mortals what they want directly, but will use a lot of specious words to convey their demands.
Fortunately, however, the needs of the gods are generally written in their priesthood. Ogma Priesthood: Bard, Inspiration, Creation, Knowledge, Ideas. Then Ogma's appeal is on top of this. Clearly, Solam was able to satisfy Ogma's demands in these areas. Solam vaguely felt that his cooperation with Coulson was the reason for Ogma's appearance.
But it's definitely not all, after all, even if Ogma doesn't show up, Solam will still cooperate with Coulson. There was no need for him to go up to the pole and give Solam a gift. The style of the gods is not so low. But for a while, Solam couldn't figure out what Ogmar was asking for him. Soram thought about it for a moment, and simply didn't think about it. After all, Ogmar's senses for Soram are really good, at least ten thousand times stronger than that of Lady Doom.
This crazy woman must have a very good reason to find Solam, but Soram doesn't care at all, how can she love it! When it really comes to that time, if you can, Soram really doesn't mind satisfying them, but if you can't be satisfied, then you won't say anything, it's a battle and a look at their meaning, Soram is not afraid.
As for the issue of gift-giving...... Soram said he was emotionally stable. He Ogma dares to send it, doesn't Soram dare to accept it? It's not that he Solam insists on it, he goes on the pole to send it, and Soram can still push the benefits out?
Thinking of this, Soram suddenly felt relaxed. After all, if you have more debts, you don't have to worry, and if you have more lice, you don't have to bite.
