Chapter 57: Confession
The settlement of more than two hundred elves was handed over to Faro. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info This old man can basically be regarded as the big steward of Orinedu now, and the construction of the elven territory, except for those buildings built from the "Imperial Heart" system, the rest of the work is basically done by Faro and the elves who came from the Divine Guide Tree Tower. Including the expansion of the forest, the construction of the tree house where the elves lived, and the construction of the orchard, it can be said that the hard work is high.
He can be regarded as the person who is most familiar with Orinen at the moment, except for Dane. The forest is not big enough, and there are not enough treehouses to build, and no one can predict that there will suddenly be more than 200 more elves who will settle in Orinedu on the island today. But these problems can always be solved, and Dane trusts Faro very much, and he will take care of the settlement of the elves, and nothing will go wrong.
Dane himself, on the other hand, dragged Eslor into the temple.
When no one was around, all the affection that Dane had shown before was gone. He stared directly at Eslor, not saying a word, and his expression looked a little gloomy, but he was definitely not happy anyway.
Eslor, who was stared at by Dain, had a very natural face. She whispered, "Your Excellency, why are you looking at me like this?" ”
Dane snorted coldly and said, "I didn't expect it, great Shilo...... Hmph, I paid resources to build the temple, took out the believers of the old gods that my subordinates fought desperately to exterminate, and sacrificed their heads to the gods, I thought there would be a satisfactory gods, but I didn't expect to get back such a big trouble! What about the oracles...... That's how Shiloh deceived his oracle? ”
Dane said this very politely, if this was in the Holy See, which has strict rules, it would have been tied up and sent to the Inquisition. Even if the much gentler Cult of Heloh bluntly said in the temple that the gods were liars, it would definitely not be of much benefit.
It stands to reason that in the temple, as the priest of Shiloh, Eslor should have been furious when he heard Dain's words that could be called 'insulting to the gods'. But she didn't, and even a faint smile appeared on her face: "How do you say this?" ”
Dane felt like she was knowingly asking, but the anger in her heart was really hard to dissipate. He said angrily: "It seems that Shiloh's gift is to bring me more than two hundred elven population, and the Golden Leaf also contains the materials I urgently need, but in fact? There are only fifty elves in my territory who absolutely obey my orders, and our great Shiloh has brought me two hundred refugees from the Nancy court at once? Especially since among them there is a ranger general like Pexins as the leader, what do you want me to do? ”
"The best result is nothing more than the fusion of the two sides, with two hundred more inhabitants of Komya, and at the same time I have gained a personal guard led by a twelfth-level ranger general. But is it possible? Damn, I know it's impossible with my ass! ”
"How could it be?" Eslor still looked like that, not at all changed by Dane's words: "You are the oracle of the great Shiloh, don't you see, from the docks of the Ghost Knife Harbor to Orinedus, those elves have already bowed down twice in a row?" ”
"Phew!" Dane shrugged off, "What's the use of the oracle?" It's just a momentary respect, maybe they will always respect me, but when I give an order, will they be willing to go to the soup? I don't think it's possible, but my mercenaries, the elves from the Divine Guide Tower, can. I'd rather slowly build up, at least so that I can be completely under my control, but I don't want this 'god's gift' that could get out of my control and even cause me trouble! ”
Dane is neither stupid nor blind, and while Cecilia has always been quite respectful to him before, Pehin on the side is not. He could tell from Pehins' eyes that the ranger general was very wary of his sudden oracle.
With Pexinsi's personal strength and her prestige among these elven refugees, if there is any conflict between her and Dane in the future, even if Cecilia is on his side, he may not be able to really defeat Pexins. Even if he wins, he doesn't know how much he will pay.
This is a hidden danger, and it can even be considered a time bomb. The blessing that Dane had been expecting had become like this, and he was naturally quite unhappy.
The calmness on Eslor's face disappeared, but turned into a serious face: "Your Excellency Dane, you summoned us elves from our original world here. What is the reason for this, I believe you know much better than we do. ”
Dane's heart struck, of course he knew better than anyone else! The Imperial Tower is still in his soul. Could it be that Eslor knows about the "Hearts of Dynasty" system?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Eslor kneel down on one knee to Dain: "It's true that I'm the priest of Shiloh, but you are our true leader!" ”
Dane said, "Can I believe that you are absolutely loyal to me?" ”
"You should believe it."
"More loyal than to Shilo?"
"More loyal than to Shiloh."
In the previous sentence, Dane's tone was slightly sarcastic, as if he was deliberately embarrassing Eslor. But in the latter sentence, Esloel said that it was cut off!
Dane's first impression was horror! He looked around, this was the temple of Shiloh! The statue of the Elven Father was less than five paces away from the two of them! As a high-ranking priest in charge of a temple, in such a sacred place, Eslor dared to say such a thing, wasn't she afraid of the wrath of the gods and the punishment of the gods?
Seeing Dane's look of disbelief, Eslor kept kneeling on one knee and said, "You should believe me, it's true that this is a temple that worships Shiloh, but Shiloh can't hear a single sound from the temple unless I want him to hear it." ”
"Of course, I certainly don't have the ability to isolate the gods, but in this temple, I can do it easily. This temple was built by you, not by Shiloh, and we are not subordinate to God the Father, but ...... Partnership. ”
"My magical abilities come from the temple, and the power of the temple comes from you. We offer faith and sacrifice to the Father, and the Father only shares His divine power with us, but he has not given half of his divine power, and the source of all power comes from you after all! ”
