Outside the Temple of the Sea.

Sauron stood in front of the main hall and waited silently, Adele Isabel was arranged by him to go to the tavern, and the next plan needed some help, otherwise the two of them would not even be able to drive the boat. The Naga priest entered the temple after she returned, and even the temple guards were ordered to stay outside, and no one knew what she was doing on the ground. Naturally, Sauron was not qualified to enter, and he didn't want to know too many secrets about the goddess of the sea, because the more he knew, the deeper it would be.

That's how it happened.

Time passed little by little, and the divine power gathered around the Ocean Temple suddenly shook, it was a very obvious sense of shock, and the divine power around the temple was surging like a tide. This world is provided by believers to the gods with the power of faith, and then the gods transform the power of faith into divine power, and these divine powers are not all controlled by the gods, but also need to be fed back to the believers in divine arts, and a large part of them will remain in the temple. So any temple with a priest and abbot will have a divine aura, otherwise it will be an abandoned temple.

The divine power will gradually decrease and dissipate.

If the presiding priest is replaced, or the strength is very low, or the number of believers is reduced, the divine power above will decrease little by little, and finally the divine power and aura above the temple will be reduced by one or two levels. Raising the level of a temple requires not only a large enough size, but also a corresponding number of followers and influence in the surrounding area. There are a large number of temples scattered in this world, but more than ninety percent of them belong to the level of temples, and there are not many who can reach the level of temples, and most of them are in the city.

There are even fewer large temples!

Such a large temple is equivalent to half a wizard tower, and there is no way to destroy the meteor burst after activating the divine power protection.

Amber City is a case in point.

If it weren't for the temple's strong deterrent power, the struggle between the gods would have been even more intense, as many evil gods were eager to wash away the lair of hostile gods and goddesses at all times. If the temple in front of him was attacked head-on, it would be impossible for a regular legion to defeat it, and even if it was defeated, the casualties would be more than 50 percent.

The divine power began to gradually converge, and it seemed that some kind of unpredictable change had occurred in the Ocean Temple!

This change Sauron could not comprehend. Because he knows very little about divine power and divine magic, and he doesn't have enough knowledge to judge it. But he could feel the change, and even felt that it was spreading towards the underground waters beneath the Ocean Temple, as if it were an invisible energy fluctuation that enveloped the entire port of Taylor. Sauron wasn't the only one who felt the change, all the guards in front of the temple knelt on the ground, and then began to pray sincerely. Other believers in Port Taylor also began to pray, and the invisible wave of prayer turned into a powerful force of faith, causing the Sea Temple to shine with a dazzling light that was invisible to the naked eye.

This process lasted quite a short time.

It also attracted the attention of many forces, and the power of the temple seemed to be converging. There is a faint sign of a breakthrough, if the Ocean Temple is promoted to the Grand Temple, there will be an incarnation of the Ocean Goddess at that time. This is a process of divine blessing, each temple will appear when upgrading, the first temple has the consciousness of the gods to give spiritual light, and then the promotion of the temple begins to have the gods to give power, the most iconic of which is the idol of the gods, the idol will have the consciousness of the gods to remain, and the believers can be perceived by the gods when they pray.

There should be no avatar coming now.

The gods are all busy resisting the storm of energy. However, the ocean temple in front of him has indeed been improved, and it is estimated that it has become one of the few great temples in the coastal zone.

Many devotees of the goddess of the sea began to converge in this direction.

The figure of the Naga priest walked out slowly, I don't know if it was Sauron's illusion, he actually felt that there was a trace of divinity on the Naga priest in front of him. This aura is a bit like the elect of the goddess of the sea, but there is still a big difference. It seems that after offering the sacrifice, she was rewarded by the gods, whose gifts to believers are an important part of strengthening the faith.

The other stood on a high platform in front of the temple. Looking at the believers gathered in front of him, he immediately turned his gaze to Sauron, and said slowly, "Human. You come in with me. ”

Sauron leaned over slightly. Walked into the main hall.

"Your watch is good."

Standing in front of the idol, the Naga priest holding the scepter representing the priest of the sea, said in a strange and sacred tone: "You have punished those who have turned away from the faith, and you have sued them with blood and death for their disobedience to the goddess. You have also proved your loyalty, and you have offered the Goddess the sacrifice she wants. ”

"You deserve a reward!"

The Naga priest slowly walked in front of Sauron, then raised his palm and spoke, "Kneel." ”

Sauron's expression did not show hesitation, he just hesitated in his heart, and then knelt down on one knee in front of the idol of the goddess of the sea, a step he had actually experienced several times, because this was the real blessing ceremony of the gods. In order to receive the blessings of the gods, you must first show your humility and respect and prove your worth, and then you can receive the gifts of the gods, who are not noble givers. The blessing of the goddess of doom was an accident, and the mysterious woman looked as unpredictable as the goddess of doom.

The priests of the gods will have similarities with the gods, and the priests of the goddess of doom and the goddess of luck are both capricious people who do whatever they want.

"Good."

The Naga priest reached out and pressed Sauron's forehead and said in a deep voice, "Human. You have proved your worth, and you have used your strength and credibility to maintain the majesty and interests of the goddess of the sea. It is an act to be appreciated, so you are eligible for the bounty of the goddess of the sea. ”

The scepter rested lightly on Sauron's shoulder.

Immediately, the Naga priest leaned over Sauron's forehead and kissed it, and said in a strange sea language, "I bless you on behalf of the goddess of the sea!" You will not be attacked by sea monsters in the sea! You will be blessed by the goddess of the sea! The sea is your home! Great waves and storms will be far away from you and your servants! ”

"You will be the patron of the goddess of the sea! …… With the power of the goddess, you can control the creatures of the sea! ……”

One by one, the divine power began to gather.

The visible blessing light appeared, Sauron's body seemed to be shrouded in a blue light, and vaguely the idol of the goddess of the sea seemed to open its eyes, and a gaze fell on Sauron's body, and then gradually disappeared. This is the power of the gods, and from now on Sauron will be the patron and blessed of the goddess of the sea, as long as he does not actively attack the sea species, most of the sea intelligent creatures. Including Naga, Shark Man, Sea Shark Man, etc., none of them will actively attack Sauron and his companions.

He can also communicate and trade with these sea creatures, because the goddess of the sea has blessed him, and his status is equivalent to that of the priest of the sea church.

It's a hard reward to refuse, especially as Sauron prepares to develop in the overseas archipelago.

The brilliance of the divine power gradually dissipated.

A row of jù appeared in front of Sauron's eyes, and an additional background specialty appeared on his body:

"Gift of the Goddess of the Sea [Special Specialty]: You have obtained the gift of the Goddess of the Sea through your actions, and from now on you will greatly reduce your chances of encountering danger in the ocean, whether it is storms, waves, whirlpools, or all kinds of fierce and dangerous sea creatures, they will not take the initiative to attack you because of the blessing of the Goddess of the Sea. You or your fleet sailing through the sea will be blessed by the goddess of the sea. You'll get the chance to trade with other sea goddess creatures.

From now on, most sea creatures, including sea monsters, will consider you neutral. And with the blessing of the goddess of the sea, you have acquired a spell-like ability that can be used to dominate other creatures in the ocean. ”

This is the most basic blessing that comes.

The blessing of the goddess of the sea does not increase the attribute ability much, but it is equivalent to an extra talisman on the sea.

It also rewards an additional spell-like ability.

"Spell-like abilities that dominate sea creatures: You have the blessing of the goddess of the sea, and belong to the patrons she watches, which allows you to wield a special power. You will have access to most sea creatures, and the effect of these spell abilities is equivalent to that of the Enchanting Sea Creature The level of Domination of ordinary sea creatures cannot exceed your class level, and the level of Domination of Sea Monsters cannot exceed half of your class level, and the difficulty of this spell's exemption is related to your charisma. "[Once a day. 】

This is a special spell-like ability.

It's equivalent to the 'Charming Sea Creature of the Partial Gate', but the spell of domination has a stronger effect. It's better than the shark man's seduction.

It has an exemption difficulty decision, which is based on charisma.

Domination of ordinary sea creatures cannot exceed Sauron's level at most, and control of special sea monsters cannot exceed half of Sauron's level.

This is the power of the goddess of the sea.

Because the 'charming sea creatures' cannot control the sea monsters, at most they can control the level of sharks, whales, and large octopuses.

The blessing ceremony is complete.

The Naga priest glanced at Sauron meaningfully. Said slowly: "Human." Keep in your heart the reverence of the goddess of the sea, who will not skimp on the rewards bestowed upon you. When you decide to give your faith to the goddess of the sea, she will give you more gifts. ”

This is naked co-optation.

The main devotees of the goddess of the sea are concentrated in marine life and coastal areas. The value of a quasi-legendary wanderer is still staggering.

After all, the Wanderer is more proficient in more means than other professions.

Sauron leaned over slightly and kissed the back of the Naga priest's hand, expressing his humility, because at this moment she represented the goddess of the sea, he spoke: "I am in awe of the power of the goddess, thank her for her generosity, and I am willing to give my own strength to the goddess when she needs it." ”

This is not the language of delivering faith.

The meaning is a bit similar to that of a guest, more like a relationship of hiring and being employed, and many temples have such members.

There was a slight dissatisfaction on the face of the Naga priest, and then it turned into a smile, and he said slowly, "Very good. I hope you remember today's vows and that you will give your strength to the Goddess when she needs you. Otherwise, the goddess will withdraw her gift. ”

The blessings of the gods are not so easy to take!

Sauron knew this for a long time, otherwise he would not have lost the blessing of the Spider God in the first place.

But.

Since you can get it now, you naturally have to make good use of it.

No one knows what will happen in the future, and if something really happens, the most he can do is to turn his face and deny it, and the turbulent era is coming soon, and he doesn't believe that the goddess of the sea will be bored enough to hunt him down because of this little thing. As for ordinary tasks, Sauron will not be too repulsed, anyway, he can't do without the help of the church if he wants to develop overseas, and there is such a golden thigh as the Ocean Church behind him, even if he is on the bar with the Storm Church, it will be no problem.

After all, the goddess of the sea is also a powerful divine power!

With her support, Sauron is equivalent to directly penetrating the interior of all marine intelligent creatures, and even special prestige recognition tasks are not required, so that he can coexist peacefully with these sea creatures, and if necessary, he can trade and make a fortune from them. The most important thing in this world is strength, and if it weren't for his quasi-legendary strength, the Naga priest would not have spent such a big price to win him over.

Right now.

The most important thing is to take advantage of this opportunity to accumulate more strength.
