Chapter 39: Ambition
Apotheosize?
Qin Ran silently picked up the fish soup and took a sip.
According to the strength level of the huge city, he was at the level of the first generation of gods at this time, but the 'gods' of the dungeon world in front of him seemed to be a little different.
Recalling the strength of the 'Lady of Fortune', the doubts in Qin Ran's heart became more and more numerous.
The strength of the other party does not seem to be a 'god' at all.
But it has some characteristics that only 'gods' can have.
Undoubtedly, the 'gods' in the world in front of him are different from the gods in his cognition.
As for why this is the case?
There were too few clues for Qin Ran to know.
And looking at Qin Ran's silent appearance, the old priest obviously had some misunderstanding.
After all, there are lessons to be learned.
This kind of misunderstanding is really natural.
Three hundred years ago, the appearance of the 'Devourer' has led to the emergence of a large number of gods.
Three hundred years later, the 'Devourer' has reappeared, and new gods have appeared, what's so strange?
"Your Majesty."
The old priest stood up, knelt down in front of Qin Ran with the most solemn etiquette, and shouted loudly.
The people around who had been paying attention to this scene saw this scene, and then they were stunned, and they all followed the example of the old priest and knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty."
A loud voice shattered the silence of the night.
also dragged Qin Ran's thoughts back.
Sensing the more and more excited flames in his mind, Qin Ran didn't make any more explanations.
Sometimes, a wonderful misunderstanding is more acceptable than the cruelty of this world.
"Hmm."
Qin Ran nodded and took another sip of fish soup.
The ingredients are fine.
It's just that the cooking skills are slightly poor.
Of course, no one he'd ever seen was as good a cook as Mimosa.
……
Inside Aya's outpost, Atelina was talking to Nelson in a low voice.
"Lord Priest, as you might expect, those fellows have sent messengers one after another, and there is no end to the fighting."
"Until now, they are still arguing over who should be the first rider of the team, and according to the scouts, they are about to start a duel for this place."
"What a bunch of ...... I don't know what to call a guy. ”
The sentry chief thought about it for a while, and then gave those guys an extremely loyal evaluation.
"The whole Yote plain is so rich that their fight is more like that of a child."
"If it weren't for the contract made 300 years ago, the entire Yot Plain would have become the territory of the city of Navia."
At the mention of the Yote Plains, Edrina looked dismissive.
As a former priest, there are so many things to learn, not only the rituals and miscellaneous things, but also the history of the temple.
Therefore, Etrina knew too well the deeds of the dozens of lords on the Jört Plains.
When something happens, turn to the city of Navia.
When he was fine, he peeked into the city of Navia again.
Words such as stupidity, self-indulgence, etc., can be put on these people.
Rest assured, there is not the slightest insult.
Because that's the way it is.
Even......
And unacceptable.
Just like this time, the monsters that were defeated and infiltrated into the Yot Plains alone surprised everyone in the Yot Plains.
But what about after that?
The pace of sending troops is slow, they shirk their responsibilities to each other, and they are unwilling to take responsibility.
In the end, it took several times more than imagined to complete the annihilation of the monster.
And after this?
The so-called 'mission' they sent was even more entangled, and for the sake of a so-called nominal 'first', there was even a so-called duel.
However, I'm afraid that this group of people doesn't even understand what the so-called 'duel' means, right?
Chopping with a wooden sword and a wooden sword.
When you get hit, you scream.
"Hmph."
Imagining that picture, Etrina couldn't help but snort coldly, she really couldn't accept this kind of sissy behavior after following Qin Ran for so long.
However, she doesn't mind these things that the sissy bringsies.
"We need to raise our prices."
"Food and weapons have doubled on the original basis."
"And ......"
"I need them to help us build another outer wall."
Edrina said slowly.
Of course, Etrina did not say what she really thought: she would not return those who came to build the walls.
Because, she is well aware that only a larger population can guarantee the position of those in power.
In some respects, population is even more important than land, and it is simply unrealistic to have a position without population as a security.
"Presumably, Ryan will be happy to see the Aya outpost with dozens of times more population."
"At that time, the Aya outpost will no longer be a mere outpost, but a new city, perhaps able to replace Navia City in the future."
"By that time......"
Edrina imagined the future, and her palms hidden under the sleeves of her robe trembled.
She was very excited.
But she understands even more that it all presupposes one person: Ryan!
Without Lane, Aya Outpost simply can't be Aya City.
But Etrina was sure that Ryan would approve of her approach.
There was no definite evidence, and Lovely Trina had such a hunch that Ryan was planning more than just the position of a so-called temple high priestess.
After all, the temple has fallen at this moment.
According to common sense, Ryan should retreat bravely.
But what about the facts?
In the face of the Devourer, Ryan not only stayed, but continued to fight - in the identity that the public expects.
This is normal in the eyes of others.
But as Ryan's collaborator, Edrina has some guesses.
It is precisely because of such speculation that she will love Ryan more and more.
How could a powerful and ambitious man not be fascinated?
Men should conquer the world.
And women are supposed to conquer men and gain the world.
Etrina with such thoughts is incorrigible in love with Qin Ran.
However, such fascination and incorrigibility will only appear in front of that man.
In front of others?
Etrina maintained the majesty of her own priesthood.
"Build another outer city?"
"Will they be able to say yes?"
The sentry chief was stunned for a moment, and looked at the priestess with a slight hesitation.
Nelson did not refute.
As a priest of the Temple of Thorns, he himself would not contradict the priests.
But again, he doesn't ignore the problem.
The former is the instinct of the believer, and the latter is the instinct of the knight.
"Trust me, they will."
"And ......"
"They will rush to agree to our terms."
Aterina said confidently.
And just as the priestess's words fell, the voice of the herald sounded outside—
"Priest Aterina and Chief of Nelson Sentin, a man claiming to be an emissary of Lord Blossom Leader has asked to see him."
