031, Seven Layers of Hell (3)
"No way, a mage would never believe in a god. The old woman was like a frightened night owl, and even her voice was a little sharper, and she refused without hesitation.
Throughout the ages, mages have always been resistant to faith, and if faith was needed, they would have turned to priests and priests long ago, so why wait until now, even though the Chimera plane has not been visited by gods for many years.
Belief in gods is not the work of a mage. Moreover, in the orc liberation movement four centuries ago, the orcs unreservedly believed in the leader of the time, and the first Rakshasa lion man to put forward the view that "orcs will never be slaves" artificially elevated an epic knight to the realm of gods!
The most direct consequence of this incident was that the human mages who had the upper hand and were about to quell the orc rebellion were in danger, which eventually led to the death and injury of the Metamorphosis School in the Chimera plane, and then the spiritual realm was shattered, and the Spirit Oracle School lost its foundation for a period of time, and the losses were not insignificant.
If it weren't for the twelve legendary mages sacrificing their vitality to turn the tide, perhaps the Spiritual Oracle School would have followed in the footsteps of the Transformation School.
With this bloody lesson in front of her, the old woman's sensitive nerves warned after receiving the word "faith", in fact, not only her, but also the other two legendary mages in the headmaster's office, who did not want to take the initiative to set up an opponent for themselves.
"You seem to have a hostility towards faith and gods far beyond other planes?" the Ancestor Snake God looked at them with interest, "Take it easy, I don't need faith, and neither do other demon gods, as long as there are concepts related to gluttony, jealousy, laziness, silver, and anger in the minds of all beings in the world, we will not disappear and we will not die, faith is dispensable to us." ”
The three legendary mages glanced at each other, yes, just now the Ancestor Snake God did mention that he was the precipitation and embodiment of the desires of all beings, but in this way, wouldn't the seven demon gods of the seven layers of hell be immortal?
Unless he is a saint, who can completely abandon desires? No. Even when they reach a class level of 20 or more, they are angry, greedy, and jealous......
sighed and sighed, there was still a need to continue to negotiate the matter of summoning creatures from the seven layers of hell, so the middle-aged mage asked bluntly: "The so-called payment of faith to the seven layers of hell-"
"Do you know the Creator?"
The three nodded.
"The creator has three sides, one side represents creation, one side represents the supreme, and the other side represents destruction, and the lord of hell, Talos, who all hellish creatures believe in, is himself the side of the creator as the god of destruction, and is the derivation of the god of destruction in the realm of desire, and his status is far above our seven demon gods. ”
Forced by the situation, Talos had to bite the bullet and move out of the Creator, and if the Elder Titan was not wrong in his reasoning, he was somehow part of the Creator...... Right?
"On the one hand, the Lord of Hell, Talos, needs to proclaim his existence and prestige to all beings, and as long as a plane can contribute his faith to the Lord of Hell, the seven layers of hell will be generously open to him, and on the other hand, it has to do with the way we act in the seven layers of hell, whether it is me, the earthly python, Medusa, or several other demon gods, we like to follow the principle of equivalent exchange. ”
The Lord of Hell, Talos, needs faith, but he doesn't care who provides it, as long as he can receive faith from the Chimera plane, the seven layers of hell can be opened to the Spiritual Oracle School, and not only that, as long as they can pay a sufficient price, the mages can even directly summon seven demon gods with similar strength to them.
The three legendary mages immediately extracted the key information from the words of the ancestor snake god, if this is the case, they have nothing to worry about, the mages will not believe in the lord of hell, ordinary people can.
They have always liked to pin their lives, futures, and hopes on ethereal gods, and it is not impossible for ordinary people to change their beliefs, even if it is to contribute to the school of spiritual oracles.
In the Chimera plane, mages are a truly privileged class, and some have methods to spread faith within a certain range.
"In principle, we will not object. The old woman's serious face finally had something that could be called joy, and she secretly decided that tomorrow, no, the order would be conveyed later, and that they would block all news until a formal conclusion was made.
The results of the discovery of the seventh layer of hell in the fourth summoning space should belong to the High School of Magic of Prince, and it can only belong to Prince.
The two sides then discussed the details of the spells and rituals needed to establish a summoning relationship with the seven levels of hell, and finally reached a satisfactory result after an hour.
The three legendary mages were satisfied, as the people standing at the top of the society of the Chimera plane, they had already met the needs of physiological, safety, social, and respect, and turned to the need for self-realization, and the unexpected appearance of the Ancestor Snake God provided them with an opportunity to make a name for themselves in the annals of history, and even the Higher School of Magic in Prince could also take this opportunity to climb to unprecedented heights.
Talos was also satisfied, his plan succeeded, using the Three-Eyed Octopus, Flower Demon, Faceless and Lust Python born in the inner world as bait, and successfully lured the three legendary mages and the High School of Magic of Prince to pay for the faith he needed to strip the fifth primordial desire [Anger], without arousing any suspicion.
It is believed that it will not be long before the belief of Talos, the Lord of Hell, spreads quickly once someone successfully summons the creatures of the Inner World.
He said that the more people in the Chimera plane believe in the Lord of Hell, the more seven-layer hell creatures the mages can summon, and in order to chase strength, mages have always had a tradition and style of unscrupulous means.
"I still have a question, though. The old mage suddenly spoke up.
"What?"
"I've noticed that you've been stuck in my student's body in some unknown way—"
"Let me interrupt, though I am the embodiment of immorality, rather undisciplined, and have instinctively pursued the ultimate pleasure since birth, but that does not mean that you can accuse me of such vague and misleading descriptions. ”
"You know what I mean!" the old mage was furious, "you've been on the Chimera plane for four days, how did you bypass the summoning rules?" ”
"So you mean this. Without any psychological burden, the Ancestor Snake God blamed the old mage for his mistakes, "I am the master of one of the seven layers of hell, and as a master, I always have some privileges. And didn't I tell you?"
"As the embodiment and symbol of the [Silver Jade] of the Seven Primordial Desires, I will have fun every time I go to a plane. ”
