Chapter 988: Double-edged sword
The more he studied the power of faith, the more Wei Xu felt how powerful the power of the gods was. Before, the power of the gods was completely undetectable, but now at least Wei Xu had a goal. Of course, Wei Xu was aware of the gap between himself and the gods. Daring to argue with these guys in the sky is completely sure that these guys will not really appear in the sky, and the ability to hurt Sun before is because Wei Xu has mastered several demon artifacts and mastered the power of faith. The situation just now is the same as a teenager holding a gun against an adult, although adults also have guns, but this does not prevent the young man from being able to kill or even kill adults with a gun.
Of course...... Young people who dare to shoot when they don't have enough strength often end up being eaten by guns...... Wei Xu looked at the door of Valhalla in front of him, tried to raise his right hand, and then tried to push it with his movable left hand, and finally could only helplessly put his shoulder up. The moment the power of faith flowed out of his hand, it felt as if this arm was no longer his own, and by the way, this power even drained the strength of his whole body. This feeling of egg pain is estimated to be impossible to recover for a while......
"Squeak......
The gate of Valhalla was opened again, and more than a dozen eyes were cast here almost at the same time, and they just watched as the black-haired non-Nord descendant who was the first to push open the door with his shoulder and body weight in thousands of years stepped into the holy land of the Nord people step by step.
"It seems that our Valhalla has welcomed a foreigner for the first time in thousands of years......" As soon as the door opened, a vicissitudes of life but still loud voice came into Wei Xu's ears.
Following the voice, Wei Xu saw that at the long table in the distance, an old man in a gray robe had just gotten up, and a pair of deep eyes were looking at him.
"I suppose at this time, the only one who can pass through the gates of Sorenga and enter this place is the legendary dragonborn, right?" The old man greeted him and shouted at Wei Xu in a low voice, "Yol Toor Shul! ”
It was still a flame of greeting, and it hardly caused any substantial damage to Wei Xu now. When that orange flame approached, Wei Xu even felt that the person in front of him actually had the ability to wrap himself in this spitting flame without weakening the power of this flame, without hurting himself in the slightest. Wei Xu can be sure that even if an ordinary person is standing here now, he will not be injured by this flame, and this control of the purpose of spitting is completely unattainable by Wei Xu.
"Dear Elder, Yol Toor Shul!" Wei Xu had already guessed who the person in front of him was, so he also returned a greeting to the person in front of him.
"Hmm...... Great power, Dragonborn, it seems that quite a few dragons have fallen into your hands......" The old man said this, coughing lightly as if he suddenly remembered, and continued: "Haha, I forgot to introduce myself just now, my name is Yorgen Wind Caller, but I prefer to be called Graybeard......"
Perhaps because of Wei Xu's identity as a dragon, this old man chatted with Wei Xu very well, as if he had known each other for a long time.
"Hello, Master Graybeard......" Wei Xu was not very disgusted with Graybeard, and when he saw that none of the other guys around him knew him, he also talked to this old man.
"I came here after being reminded by Patunax, who was killed by us for Alduin's misfortune in Skyrim. But I never thought that this old dragon was still alive in Sorenga. ”
"Ah...... Potunax...... That old guy is still alive, and he hasn't gone to the dragon mound yet...... It's a bit of a pity......" Jorgen narrowed his eyes, a slight hint of remembrance in his gaze.
Of course, Wei Xu wouldn't believe that the guy in front of him wanted Patonax to hang up, after all, it should actually be the old dragon of Patunax who really gave the purpose of human inheritance, and Graybeard was more like his apprentice. The main reason why Patumnax lived in seclusion at the throat of the world early was because these apprentices had already graduated from school, and he was happy to be at ease. The Jorgen Windcaller in front of him is the first generation of Graybeard, and his relationship with Patonax is theoretically very iron.
"Ah, looks like we've got a new companion, Jorgen, are you sure you don't want him to sit down and have something to moisten his throat first?" Wei Xu and Yogen hadn't been chatting for long before another voice interjected, also a white-bearded old man.
Speaking of which, those who can get here are actually almost invincible in their prime, and only when they are old and weak, and their physical fitness declines, there will be various reasons for death. So if you look at it, at least one-third of the people in a room are white-bearded grandfathers, the kind of guy who can be used as a golden finger for the protagonist when he is released.
"Ah...... Haha......" was said by the old man next to him, Yogan was not embarrassed, and naturally continued: "I almost forgot, then our Dragonborn visitors, take a seat first, there are endless wines, countless delicacies, and of course, bloody battles, heroic music......"
"Ahem!" Yogen wanted to say something, but the white-bearded old man next to him coughed fiercely and directly interrupted this guy's words: "I said old thing, did you drink any stimulants today?" In the past, I was responsible for guiding the new soldiers here, and you never asked...... And...... That sentence just now seems like a new word that I have been preparing for nearly a hundred years, right? ”
The old man was obviously upset, he pushed the chair away directly, and walked in front of Yogan in two steps, looking like he wanted to roll up his sleeves and do a dry fight.
"Wait, wait, wait! Isgramer! I saw that this little guy is a dragonborn, and he has been selected by our Graybeard lineage, and there is a mark left by me on his body, so he came, do you think I am willing to do this job? Yogan directly avoided talking about the old man in front of him, that is, Isgramer's greeting words, and instead talked about why he took the initiative to see Wei Xu.
Seeing that the words of the two old guys in front of him slowly changed from the appearance of rolling up their sleeves at the beginning to tearing each other, Wei Xu watched the play on the side, but he was full of taste. At this time, Wei Xu also realized that the old man who came later was also one of the top names in the history of Nord in Valhalla, Isgramer. Speaking of which, I used to rely on the axe witch Slav left by this guy to subdue those snow elves.
It seems that this kind of thing between two old guys bickering is a very common sight in Valhalla, so there are not many people on Wei Xu's side. Wei Xu also silently watched the two old guys in front of him, and the quarrel gradually came to an end. Seeing that the fight couldn't be fought, Wei Xu was still fanning the flames on the side.
"So, aren't you two old men going to fight?" He looked at the two old men who had stopped, and suddenly spoke up.
"If you don't fight, you won't fight, and as you get older, you don't have much demand for entertainment like fighting......" Looking at Isgrader who was leaving, Yogan on the side waved his hand lightly.
"So Valhalla can fight?"
"Absolutely! Fighting can facilitate the emotional exchange of two Nord men! How can there be no such activity as fighting! Yogan glanced at Wei Xu as if he had heard something incredible. Although it is said that fighting here does not kill people, it is also possible to enjoy the pleasure of beating people and the pain of being beaten by punches on this layer of golden light that condenses the soul. Whoever is broken up first loses. ”
"Are there any consequences if you lose?" Wei Xu raised his eyebrows slightly, a little puzzled.
"Of course, the physical touch of our soul state is done through this protective golden light, and if it is dispersed, it will take a month to recover. During this time, it is no different from a soul, it cannot be hit by any kind of attack, it cannot attack anyone, and it cannot enjoy food and wine......"
"Uh...... Okay......" Wei Xu suddenly felt that this world was still a little interesting, and he could consider the Soul Stone Mound to learn from it in the same way. Compared to the boring, funless, prison-like life of the Soul Tomb, Sorenga is a paradise, ah, speaking of which, Sorenga is a paradise for the Nords.
"Ah, speaking of which, the golden light of this protective body is actually composed entirely of the power of faith, whoever has more believers will be more resistant to fighting......" Yogan said and nodded in one direction: "Look at that guy, the golden light on his body is the weakest, and he can't even do the basic level of the souls in Sorenga." ”
"Basic level?"
"The Nords believe in Sorenga, and part of the power of this faith is to follow this belief and distribute it to every soul that enters Sorenga, and this golden light formed is the most basic golden light. On this basis, each of us will receive different powers of faith due to different influences during our lifetimes, which will help us strengthen the golden light and at the same time refine our souls. ”
"That's what it looks like...... Then why did that guy ......" Wei Xu frowned and said thoughtfully. He understood that this was the old man in front of him explaining the power of faith for himself, so he listened very carefully.
"That guy's name is Olaf......"
Hearing Yogan's explanation, Wei Xu was relieved: "It turns out that he is Olaf, so it seems that his golden light is the weakest...... But what I didn't expect was that this guy was really one-eyed...... And the figure is so strong! ”
That's right, when Wei Xu looked over, he just happened to see the guy who was already more than two meters five tall. He felt Wei Xu's gaze, and naturally raised his glass to him. Wei Xu also replied politely.
"No, no, no...... This guy didn't look like this when he first came, I remember that when he came, he had an ordinary Nord face, and his body was only about two meters. Yogen smiled, obviously anticipating Wei Xu's reaction.
"This is ......" Wei Xu suddenly seemed to understand something, he thought of the question that Patunax had said to himself about the power of faith before, and when he talked about Talos, he talked about several different people.
"Yes, that's the power of faith...... Jorgen smiled slightly, and continued, "The power of faith that the rest of us have acquired is a relatively general power of faith that doesn't have much of a characteristic, so we are very little affected. But that guy ...... He offended a bard, so he became 'Olaf the Cyclops'. Slowly, people thought that this guy should be a cyclops, so his soul became like this under the tempering of this power of faith......"
"This ......" Wei Xu felt that his jaw was about to fall to the ground, what is this? Everybody thinks this guy is like this, so this guy has become like this???!
"The soul can most truly respond to this subtle effect......" Jorgen said, and the wine in the glass was drained. He said as he stood up, "This is a powerful force, infinitely close to the power of the gods, but at the same time it is a sweet poison, and if you are not careful, you will be controlled by those who worship and believe in you...... By the way, the three Gunod heroes who have fought against Alduin before will help you with what you need to do next, and you can find them here, and they will help you in the next battle......"
By the time Wei Xu came back to his senses, Yogen had already left his seat. Valhalla is so big inside that it's a huge castle. There are countless cloisters, rooms, garden spaces, pavilions, and gates from the Whalebone Bridge, and the gate you can see from the Whalebone Bridge is only the tip of the iceberg. So when Wei Xu looked up, he had lost Yogan's figure in his eyes.
Wei Xu suppressed the horror of the power of faith in his heart, after all, now that he has been introduced, it is impossible to excrete it from the body, so he can only take one step at a time. Speaking of which, Wei Xu is also relatively lucky, the power of faith he has should come from three aspects, one aspect is earned by himself, that is, the faith won by fighting in front of others, so this part has little impact on himself. The other one is Standa's who cut off his beard, but now Standa's altar and the statue behind the altar are more and more like himself, and even the energy reflected above is getting closer and closer to his own energy, so it is estimated that this power of faith will not have much impact on him. Wei Xu's only concern was the part of his beard that he had cut off from Noktunar, who was often referred to as the Shadow Lady by his followers...... I won't ...... myself
Thinking of this, Wei Xu suddenly touched his chest in horror, and then unconsciously pulled his hand into the crotch of his pants.
"Whew...... It's okay......" After feeling that there was nothing wrong with his little friend, Wei Xu let out a long breath. It seems that the impact of this power of faith on himself has not yet been shown, and this problem has to be solved anyway...... Maybe you can consider using the same example as you did with the Standa altar at the time, knocking out the statue before Noktunar and replacing it with a ...... that is close to you
Thinking of this, Wei Xu finally let go of this question in his heart, and looked around instead. He also knew who he was looking for, and after looking at the Elder Scrolls, he knew what those people looked like, and as long as he saw them, he would definitely recognize them!
