172. Substitutes

The next morning, as Gary yawned and left the room to head to the dining room, he saw several security personnel who were supposed to patrol the night fall asleep on the ground without any image, snoring so loudly that no matter what the other goblins around them could do, they could not be woken up.

After this period of time together, the human mercenaries are very aware of the quality and ability of the fairy industrial security personnel, and they will definitely not make such a low-level mistake as being lazy to sleep, not to mention that they can't be woken up yet.

Problematic!

Farther away, a group of goblins, judging by their clothing, were trotting forward, words like "doctor" and "unconscious" faintly heard in anxious conversation.

"What's going on?" said Gehry, wisely not leaning forward, just standing far away and muttering to himself.

The voice of the god of pleasure and reproduction rang in his head, "It's clear that a mysterious side force visited this place last night. They had been attacked, trapped in the dreams of the Faceless, and their lives would not be in danger, but if the gods of desolation and multiplication had ever befallen them in their dreams, it might be. 』

The four-armed Nagatalos, who claimed to be the god of pleasure and reproduction, did not disappear with Gehry's dream, but continued to stay in his mind in a way he could not understand, of course, or possibly parasitic on consciousness, who knows, everything was done before he protested anyway - the god was very good at ignoring his opinion.

"That's because you didn't say no. At that time, Talos corrected his "wrong" thoughts, "You answered my call in your dreams, and called out my name under the guidance of the three-eyed octopus, which made the ritual complete and allowed my will to stay in your spirit. 』

"From now on, you will be the only human mage in the world who can be guided by a god at any time. You should feel honored, excited, excited, and not secretly complaining. Luckily, I'm a generous and benevolent deity who doesn't care, and if you offend the Demon God of Lust and Proliferation, something bad will happen to you right now. 』

"For the sake of the future when you will spread the power of the gods around the world and collect faith, I can give you one more piece of advice: you should always be respectful of the gods, and there is no harm in that. 』

"Not good, Ralph!"

At this point, the human mercenary hurriedly rushed to his friend's room, asking Talos for questions.

The human mercenary had already thought that instead of going against a god who ruled [Pleasure] and [Breeding], it was better to go with the flow, anyway, he had already succumbed once under the threat of Engineer Brack, and it was nothing to give in again - as a mercenary, what he was best at was judging the situation and making the most suitable choice.

Besides, it wouldn't be a bad thing if he really became a world-saving hero as Talos portrayed.

"What is the Faceless One, a servant of the Demon God of Lust and Proliferation?"

The world is clearly not completely ruled by them as the goblins claim, and there are many unsolved mysteries, from the three-eyed octopus to the venomous snake to the python to the python, in just a few days, he has seen several new creatures with extraordinary powers.

γ€Ž......』

Talos hesitated, for he was sure that his memories of the Faceless were mutilated, and that there was another form before the Faceless became the Faceless.

But through the chaotic fragments of memory, Naga saw only a butterfly-like silhouette, and more of a large area of blur, fog, and blankness.

Obviously, all of this is due to his opposite, the Demon God of Lust and Proliferation.

After sorting out his words, Talos told the human mercenaries what he knew: "The Faceless One is a spirit creature made of black and purple mist, and appears to be a humanoid creature with a pair of misty wings that resemble butterflies and bats, and usually likes to inhabit shadows, dark caves, tunnels, underground, and other places where there is no sunlight. 』

"They can't speak, they communicate with others through their psychic abilities, and they use a peculiar language that sounds to non-faceless people as a meaningless murmur and whisper, with very powerful hypnotic and psychic effects."

"Dreams are the home of the Faceless, and they are adept at weaving the dreams that their goals desire the most, in which their will and mind sink and fall asleep, unable to wake up. If necessary, they will also destroy the target's spirit in their dreams, causing trauma at the soul level. 』

As he spoke, Gary had rushed into the bald room, and the other party was still asleep, in an extremely uninhibited posture, as usual.

The human mercenary didn't have time to complain that the other party's posture was too spicy, grabbed the bald shoulders and shook them vigorously while shouting, "Ralph, wake up, Ralph!"

No response.

He patted the other man's cheek again and continued to call: "Wake up, Ralph, dead bald, wake up!"

Still no response.

After slapping the other party four times with his bow left and right and still seeing no effect, Gary had to ask Talos for help: "What should I do, His Highness Talos, I can't wake him up at all!

"Well, good question, why don't you try the power that belongs to the Agent?"

Gary was stunned: "The power of the Substitute?"

Yes, in that dream last night, the four-armed Nagatalos, in addition to officially settling in his mind, unilaterally announced the news that he, Gary Gerald, a human mercenary, had officially become the agent of the god of pleasure and reproduction in the physical plane.

"I thought the vicarious was just a title, or a position, like the chief priest of the Temple of the Creator......"

It turns out that there is also a power exclusive to the Substitute!

"Call out my name, and you can borrow my powers. 』

Under the guidance of Talos, Gary pressed his right hand on the bald forehead, took a deep breath, and shouted, "My lord Talos!"

"You are the Lord of Silver Jade, the Most High Heavenly Father, the divine that opens the dawn of creation and ignites the light of life!"

"Joy is your messenger, reproduction is your disciple, and your spirit moves in the world, immortalized in its brilliant light!"

"I chant your name here, and may the one before me be redeemedβ€”Talos!"

Rumble!

Where human mercenaries could not observe, a dream carefully woven by the Faceless One, piled with countless gold coins, jewels, and wealth, shattered, and the bald head trapped in it, counting the number of gold coins over and over again, gradually came to his senses.

"Shhh

"Shut up!" Gary said angrily to the bald man, thanking Talos in his heart, "Thank you, Your Highness Talos. ”

Without Talos's powers, God knows if his best friend would have been asleep forever.

"Do you know how great the god of pleasure and reproduction really is?" replied in the back of his mind, the four-armed Naga smugly, "Now, let those green-skinned elves see how powerful you areβ€”they really shouldn't have brought that viper on the airship." 』

Yes, Gary reacted, according to Talos, the vipers and pythons with dark gold scales were part of the Demon God of Lust and Proliferation.

The cutting-edge labs thought they had succeeded in capturing a new species of supernatural powers, but the truth was that they had personally carried a portion of the body of the Desolate and Breeding Demon God onto the airship, placing danger on their side.

"You'd better be worthy of the three minutes I've managed to spare next, or else, huh!" Brac said as he looked at Gary with a gloomy look.

The Engineer was in a bad mood, and before waking up from his bed to welcome the new day, he received two pieces of bad news: first, seventeen goblins, including Bagger, were asleep, and second, the black water substance in the laboratory that had been transformed by poisonous snakes had disappeared into thin air.

"I know what I'm going to say is going to be a little weird, but please be patient and listen to me. ”

Perhaps because of the presence of Talos, when he faced the engineer Braque again, Gary felt no fear or hatred in his heart, but simply stated the facts in a calm tone: "The vipers and pythons of the primeval rainforest, which are considered to be new species, are the embodiment of the demon god of desolation and multiplication, and it was with the poisonous snake that he was brought on the airship that came down last night, leaving many individuals, including my friend, into a deep sleep and unable to wake up. ”

"The cutting-edge lab should immediately stop all research on venomous snakes, otherwise something even more terrifying will happen. Not only that, but the missing expedition team of Fairy Industries is currently in the ruins of the Earth Mother Temple deep in the primeval rainforest, and most of them are still alive, but they have become servants of the Demon God of Lust and Enhancement, the snake shepherds. ”

"The Demon God of Lust and Proliferation, the Snake Shepherd...... Tell me, human, how did you know that?" the Engineer said sarcastically, playing with his hammer, "those dreams again?"

"Not bad. Gehry looked the goblins in the eye and admitted, "I had a revelation in my dreams, and they were all immersed in the dreams woven by the Faceless Ones. ”

"Heh-" The engineer sneered, suddenly spotting a spot that he had ignored since just now, and he pointed at the bald head beside Gary with a thin, short finger, "He's awake!"

"Yes. ”

"You'd better not lie to me. The Engineer warns that he doesn't like supernatural powers that haven't been studied thoroughly or are not in the hands of goblins, "I can give you a chance to wake them up, and in return, what do you want?money, power, status, fame......

"In fact, I only have two conditions. ”

"Tell me about it. ”

"First, to leave the state of Saroman as soon as everyone comes to their senses, and second, I need the right to preach legally in human society. ”

"Whose faith, Hope, and Redeemer, or First Prophet, preach?"

"The god of pleasure and reproduction. ”
