065, Divine Messenger
『Chapter error, click here to report』
As the king of the city-state of Afaryon, Aragorn never imagined that a mysterious god who had never heed the prayers of the priests for many years would respond to this sacrifice and send an oracle to descend.
A true oracle!
Aragorn had read in many books that certain places that claimed to be holy places had received the arrival of divine envoys and left behind all kinds of holy relics, but those were basically impossible to verify, and the credibility was not high, but the oracle in front of him was what he saw with his own eyes.
The other party looked completely different from them, with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a snake, the colorful and slender snake tail as thick as his waist, and the hard, durable snake scales reflected the light in the sun, and he had no doubt that it could be compared to a fine leather armor.
At any time in normal times, anyone on the field would shout in panic when they saw such a half-human, half-snake creature.
It is the instinct of living beings to expel and kill aliens, especially those who are completely different in appearance and essence from themselves, as monsters, and they are no exception.
But not this time, so just a few seconds ago, when they had just offered their carefully prepared sacrifice to the Creator, a loud noise came from the sea not far away, drawing everyone's attention.
Immediately afterward, they saw an image that they would never forget, a huge fiery fireball with a crimson flame that parted the sea and rose from the bottom of the sea into the sky.
When the people of Afallon had ever seen such a spectacular sight, it was an eye-opener.
If it weren't for the oracle, who would have allowed fire to rise from the sea?
No!
In the next moment, the clouds and mist on the sea were steaming, and the rainbow light was swirling, and the divine envoy broke through the fireball, and was born in the flames, descending into the world as a half-human, half-snake.
Even the disgusting three-eyed octopus, which usually likes to compete with fishermen for sea fish, has surfaced on the surface one after another, black and pressed, paying homage to the messenger of the gods.
The young king knew that his city-state was saved.
At the suggestion of the priests, the oracle was temporarily placed to rest in the pool at the back of the temple.
It wasn't until he dipped the snake's tail in the clear water and shook off a wave that Talos had time to comb through the series of events that had just happened.
First, he became an oracle, an oracle of the Creator.
The Creator, also known as the Creator Ancestral God, is a very ancient and traditional belief that Sainz had a brief existence of worship of the Creator before the six primordial gods and gods.
However, in modern times, when even the belief in the six primordial gods has gradually declined and been suppressed, the faith and worship of the Creator have long been extinct and become history, but I did not expect that it has been well preserved in this remote and distant world.
- It is worth mentioning that the god who is believed to have created the world and all things only exists in myths and legends and has never performed a miracle, so his belief was soon replaced by the six primordial gods.
This misunderstanding made Talos's mind come alive, because it most likely meant that the plane had not been patronized by the gods for the time being, and it was a virgin land waiting to be cultivated.
Therefore, when the old priest greeted him in dragon language and made it clear that the city-state of Afalong needed the help of his oracle, Talos did not waste his time on trivial matters such as "a human can use dragon language so fluently" and "the lingua franca of this plane is dragon language", and immediately responded in dragon language as well.
Thanks to the Nepton's good magical enlightenment and Talos, who studied hard as a child, Dragon is one of the five languages he mastered, so he will not be unable to communicate with the natives due to language barriers.
As for the status of the oracle, Talos, whose fundamental purpose was to spread the faith, did not justify the honorific title of priest, nor could he find a reason to refuse.
Especially with the mixed expectant and eager eyes of the people in the square, it was difficult for Talos to ignore the priest's pleas and the easy vantage point to dive into the sea in search of a kind that until now had been uncertain if it really existed.
It would not be bad to inquire about a little news in terrestrial human society through the identity of a divine envoy, Talos convinced himself.
Coupled with the fact that she was destined to compete with the gods for faith in the future, Naga did not have much reverence for the Creator.
Besides, it is better to be remembered by a god whose faith has disappeared in Sainz than to die of [gluttony] for no apparent reason.
Thus, the god gave birth to Talos.
Secondly, the strength level of this plane is very low, so low that the old priest who is responsible for presiding over the festival does not have a trace of holy power on his body, which is the fundamental reliance of Talos who dares to pretend to be an oracle.
In other words, the old priest was unable to unleash a first-order divine technique, and could only be counted as an auxiliary priest at best, an informal professional, alongside a magic apprentice and apprentice swordsman.
It is worth mentioning that, apart from faith, there is not much substantive difference between the auxiliary priest and the magic apprentice, and they both cast spells based on their own strength.
As the priests and guards greeted him on his way to the temple, Talos quietly continued to observe the strength of the other guards, who, as he had guessed, had no bloodline and no supernatural powers.
Obviously, they are all of the Black Iron rank, and their level is generally not high.
It stands to reason that a world with such a low level of strength should belong to the Broken Plane, and it is the kind where the laws of the Plane and the Origin are very badly damaged.
However, the existence of this ancient belief in the creator is very much in line with the style of the primordial plane, and for a while Talos could not reach an accurate conclusion.
Regardless of the conclusion, however, it was a good thing for him, because there was nothing more convenient for him to spread his faith than a plane of low power level that was not patronized by the gods.
If there were no Naga in this plane, it would be nice to spread faith among the human community under the guise of an oracle, Talos thought happily.
Then, his idea came true.
"No?" Talos spoke in dragon language to the old priest, checking again to see if there were any traces of other Naga in his plane.
"Yes, Honorable Divine Envoy, we have not seen anyone like you before. The old priest replied very respectfully in a dragon language that was slightly different from modern dragon language.
After thinking about it, the old priest added: "I have never seen anything like it in a book, nor have I heard of it. ”
According to the old priest's description, the continent of Camelo, where they are now, rarely has other intelligent races other than humans.
Priests, priests, and mages are the most knowledgeable people in the world, and since even the old priests say they haven't seen Naga, as long as the other party doesn't lie, then this world may really be a world dominated by humans.
Ten minutes later, the old priest respectfully left the apse to prepare for accompanying the envoy to the dinner.
Talos sank himself to the bottom of the pool, making sure he wasn't disturbed by anyone else, before closing his eyes and beginning to explore the possible connection to the body after the plane's arrival.
