Holy Land, Warrior Academy.

The last time he left here, Thales was just an ordinary person who had just escaped from the Land of the White Mist, and when he returned here again after three years, he was already a hero.

He had already given his ears to the Battle Count Battalion and had been recognized, especially the skull necklace that had been firmly established as the symbol of the Demon God Priesthood, and brought him 4 hectares of land, plus the ears of 12 lizardman warriors, he had obtained a total of 5 hectares or 75 acres of land, and had already obtained a specific title deed.

When it comes to land rewards, the Kingdom of Grayson is unambiguous. Thales, who was given the land, was able to live a prosperous life in the second half of his life just by collecting land rent.

He had come to the academy now to receive another reward, a reward that did not belong to the mortal world, the power of the gods.

The Academy, which once sat on the edge of the Holy Land of Sigfors, has tripled in size compared to three years ago, and in fact, with the continuous expansion of the Holy City, it is no longer the edge of the city, but the center of the city because of the establishment of the Academy.

The academy was more lively than ever, and Thales was constantly surrounded by students with longing on their faces, and these people were both envious and respectful when they saw the dark blue meritorious robe that Thales was wearing, which greatly satisfied Thales' vanity.

It's no wonder that every successful fighter loves to come to the Warrior Academy, and the feeling of returning home is fantastic. Thales couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Soon, he arrived at the main hall of the god of war in the center of the academy, which was an incomparably magnificent place, and the hall was thirty meters high. The pillars are at least five people hugging each other. in the absence of facades. In the center of the main hall, which is only a colonnade, stands a statue of a warrior in a cloak and a first-generation flamethrower in one hand, bowing his head in contemplation.

This is the god of war, Rollin, the patron saint of warriors, the guardian of the Holy Land, and the god of faith of most warriors.

Thales was no exception, he had seen the image of the god of war as the abyss demon dragon defeating the abyss beast, and he fought cleanly. His deep and calm demeanor made him feel heartbroken, and in his opinion, this was a model of a warrior.

Of course, this is just a new god in the end, Thales has a very shallow belief in him, and his most fundamental belief is still the goddess of life, Grace.

Under the statue of the god of war, there was already a god of war priest waiting for him, and when he saw him coming, the priest nodded and smiled: "Welcome, heroic Thales." ”

Face this compliment. Thales felt a little ashamed of this moment. He thought of his fallen comrades, who were supposed to come with him to enjoy the glory.

"It's not my own effort, pastor, behind me stand the heroic souls of my comrades, they are the real heroes." Thales said seriously.

"You're humble." The pastor's expression turned solemn, and he said seriously: "Every heroic soul will be redeemed, and God will not let their souls suffer." ”

"Thank God." Thales felt a little comforted.

"Then let's get started." The priest said, and a ball of light appeared in his hand, which was a divine spell that was used to record the warrior's combat experience in the Land of White Mist.

"Yes. May the god of war listen to my battles. Thales knelt in front of the statue of the god of war, and whispered about his encounter with the lizardmen warriors in the White Mist.

He spoke in great detail, including his own thoughts before the fight, the thoughts of his teammates, and the personal reaction to the unexpected after the battle began, as well as all the important details of the whole fight.

This life-and-death battle left such an impression on him that he will never forget.

After talking for more than an hour, Thales finished the whole process, he lowered his head and said humbly: "I'm done, this is my experience." ”

The ball of light in the priest's hand lit up slightly, and then flew into the blank book that lay at the foot of the temple, and disappeared into it, and immediately after, the handwriting quickly appeared on the book, along with illustrations, and various detailed tactical analyses, and finally, the book closed automatically, and a line appeared on the cover: 'Thales and the Lizardmen's Jungle War'

That's the title of the book.

The priest prayed reverently, and after a while, he stepped forward, picked up the book, and handed it to Thales: "God already knows your experience, and soon, the contents of this war book will enter the instructor course of the Warrior Academy, and now, God will give you a real reward." ”

"May the god of war be with me." Thales humbly knelt on the ground, his body trembling slightly from the excitement, he knew that he would receive the power of the gods.

He had heard the legends of those who had been favored by the gods, who could live longer, have stronger bodies, better eyesight, hearing, and even use some spells, and were simply superhuman.

He waited patiently.

Slowly, he felt that everything around him was far away, and he found himself kneeling in a void where there was a ball of light that burned like fire, and this ball of light was like an eye, silently watching him.

Tyleston knew that this must be the god of war, and his heart trembled, both in awe and in excitement.

"Mortal, I see your heart, it's very powerful. Are you willing to be my messenger in the mortal world and conquer the land of white mist for me? ”

"Emissary?" Thales looked up in disbelief, but after one glance he hurriedly lowered his head, the fiery light of the god preventing him from looking directly.

"Yes, messenger. You have two choices, one, I give you glory, go home and live the rest of your life in peace, and you will have 40 years of life. Two, become my messenger, and I will grant you true power, and when you accomplish the supreme deeds of the mortal world, your soul will be elevated to immortal heroic spirit. ”

With little hesitation, Thales chose the second path: "I want to be your messenger!" ”

He has never been willing to be ordinary, otherwise he would not have gone to the land of white fog to adventure in middle age, and now he has joined this magnificent cause and become one of the protagonists, how could he refuse.

As for going home and enjoying the rest of your life? He hadn't even thought about it, in fact, even if he had only gotten some ordinary divine powers this time. He went back to arrange the placement of his comrades-in-arms and relatives. It's still necessary to organize a team to venture into the Land of the White Mist.

"Good." The voice of God reached Thales: "You will be invincible." If you conquer everything, the world will spread your martial arts, and history will record your name. Thousands of years later, your name will still shine brightly, becoming a beacon on the side of the warrior's path, illuminating the path of future generations of warriors. Go, Thales, and build your deeds. ”

With this phrase. Thales felt a stream of heat flow into his mind, he felt his body getting stronger, his mind getting clearer and clearer, and his whole person was confused with endless energy.

After a while, his consciousness began to retreat from the void, and in a trance, he heard the last words of the god of war: "My name is battle, do not use the words that come out of your mouth, but tell mortals with battle and victory that you are my messenger." You are the mortal apostle of the god of war. ”

Thales listened with understanding.

He had now returned to the mortal realm, feeling himself renewed. With a body ten times stronger than when he was younger, he had great confidence in his heart.

At the same time, along with this self-confidence, there is also self-awareness, Thales found that he has a very clear understanding and positioning of his physical strength, and now he is enough to compete with an ordinary lizardman warrior with strength alone.

But he knew that he was not a lizardman warrior, that his body was only his last resort to protect himself, and that his main fighting force still needed the sharp firearms of the Terrans.

The real change is that he now has a stronger body, and he can use more powerful firearms.

"It's time for me to build a battle of my own, and I'm going to build a new team. But it takes a lot of money, where does it come from? ”

Thales pondered how the money would come from, and his eyes fell on the title deed that had not yet been hot: "Sell the land? Good idea! Yes, that's it! ”

He only needs money now, he doesn't need land, although the land can be cultivated and collected by ordinary people, but this income is too slow, far water can't save the near fire, he needs a big amount of money, a quick money.

"Leave a little land for Hansen and them to support their family, and I'll sell the rest!" Thales made up his mind.

He is the messenger of the god of war, and in the name of the god of war, he will be greatly helped by the god of war in battle, but in other aspects, he is still just an ordinary person. Not many people will bother with him until he has built up great deeds, attained great feats and fame.

The world is realistic, and it is difficult to cheat real money with a mouth alone, and Thales does not think that he has the talent to fool in this regard.

In the early stage, if he wanted to raise money, he could only rely on himself.

"When I have a lot of victories, I can borrow money from those vampire merchants, and then repay them with the land I have been rewarded, which is a good idea." Thales planned so, for him, as long as he could form a team to enter the land of white mist to exterminate the creatures of the abyss, he didn't care where the money came from, or even who the money was, all he needed was that the money could be used by him.

Thales' shoulders are very hard and he can bear all the consequences of such a choice, so he is super active and does it when he thinks of it.

On the third day, he sold his land and got a lot of money, and then he spent a lot of money to buy a large-caliber repeating musket called the 'Sword of War' that had just been developed by the Saints Academy as his personal weapon, and formed a fully equipped team of 10 people, and he even fooled the priest of the Moon Temple to follow him on the expedition.

"Let's deal with the lizardfolk mongrels!" Thales said this to his new recruits, patting his terrifying new weapon and saying, "This time, I'm going to educate them with this." ”

Temple of Life.

Moon God Allen looked at the Thales team that had already set off, and said to Luo Lin with a smile: "Why did you choose such a middle-aged man as your divine envoy?" ”

"He's ambitious, he's bloody, he's wise. This is exactly the kind of person I need. Rollin laughed.

Alan nodded: "Your positioning of the divinity of the god of war is very accurate, if this Thales can really succeed, your god of war godhead can be stabilized, and there will be a steady stream of faith power pouring into the godhead." But then, you don't have to worry about the source of your strength. ”

Luo Lin smiled: "However, I have to thank you and the goddess for being able to guide me to transform the power of faith and condense the skills of the godhead, which saved me a lot of detours." ”

After becoming a god, Rollin realized that for a god, the Godhead was just a tool to gather strength, and this thing was useful and important. A mature Godhead represents clear doctrine, a large number of believers, and a constant source of strength for God's growth.

However, this is not a necessary tool.

For example, the demon god Helsin, who had never had a godhead before, directly grabbed the souls of mortals as the source of his power. The Lord of Darkness may also have a godhead, but the power provided by this godhead is definitely not the main one, this guy doesn't play with a vain head, he directly absorbs the power of the plane world, and at the same time squeezes the power of the demon gods under him.

God's ways are free and cruel.

What kind of god you become is only in your own choice, and the price after the choice is all borne by yourself, if you can't afford it, then fall, it's that simple. (To be continued......)
