Chapter 1148: Seizure of power
Merinthera was eager to pull him to find a place to continue talking, but after noticing the figures descending from Hovera City above, she knew that today was not the time.
"That, I..."
"Sally, they're getting ready to come down, and it's time for me to go to sleep in the outer city, ha-yawn. β
Melinthera pretended to be sleepy, and pointed to Sally, Nata, and Akasha who had come down from the middle of Hovila City with a slow fall.
When they landed slowly, there were three dragons around them who obviously appeared as "bodyguards". This scene is really unprecedented in Merinsella's opinion...
But looking at the willing appearance of those dragons, she also knew that the dragons were also about to usher in great changes that had not been seen for thousands of years with this change.
And the key person who caused all this didn't think about the dragon clan at all at this time.
Roddy snorted, a little worried about what Sally, Akasha, Nata, and Myrinsela had chatted about when they met.
But the meeting of several women was much more friendly than expected, after all, the battle had just ended, and the atmosphere around was serious because of the strong smell of blood. Without Roddy saying anything, Merinthera beckoned Roddy to say goodbye, and the group left the temple area, crossed the magic condensed suspension bridge, and disappeared into the half-restored streets of the outer city.
Roddy, on the other hand, stood next to the large hole dug by the portal's attraction, listening to the lords' analysis of why Dorim's body was so heavy that the portal failed to suck it away - he yawned, then turned his gaze to his taskbar to check the progress of the mission.
The [Origin of the Artifact] quest is completed, and according to the above description, Sally has become a "artifact" infused by the divine power of Tarburis, but Roddy read it carefully and found that the "artifact" does not seem to be as simple as he imagined.
β... It is called an 'artifact' because it has the power of a god. When the carrier is an object, the 'artifact' is a weapon, but when the carrier is a life, the 'artifact' has infinite possibilities. β
Roddy had some guesses in his heart, and then glanced at the binding "Pit Viper's Kiss" again... After Sally, the powerful skills obtained:
Skill represented by the Golden Scepter: "God's Domain Mastery".
Demigod-level dragon lords will unleash "realms" to strengthen their combat abilities in order to defeat their opponents. To put it bluntly, this is actually an imitation of the real "Divine Domain", and Luo Di now understands how powerful the "Divine Domain" is, but he has this skill, but it does not mean that he can release it at any time.
An "Unusable" icon now appears below the skill.
And the amount of information on the skill description is huge:
"You have the ability to open the Tablis Divine Domain, but the opening of the Divine Domain needs to be transformed by the believer's willpower, and when the wish power is not strong enough, the ability of the divine power will gradually decrease until it completely dissipates. β
Before coming down from Hovira, Roddy had taken the time to see this explanation, so he had a simple explanation with Merinthra - his understanding of "willingness" should be the degree of worship and fanaticism of the believers in Tarblis...
But whether this is the case, Roddy intends to rely on experiments to prove it, it will take a while, just wait and see.
The Origin of the Artifact quest rewards over 20 million XP and the passive skill "Tabris's Blessing" - which itself has no other effect, other than the words "You are the chosen messenger of Tabris." β
Roddy guessed that this should be the key to being able to directly bind the "pit viper's kiss".
The other quest [Dragon's Elegy] also shows completion, in fact, Roddy didn't have time to read the quest description and rewards carefully from beginning to end, and now after reading it carefully, he realized that the mission goal is to "ensure the survival of at least one Dragon Lord" and "ensure the survival of ten elders".
This number looks a bit exaggerated, but in fact, if Luo Di didn't have divine help, it was possible that the main force of the dragon clan would be directly destroyed in the end. And now he has completed the task almost perfectly with his divine power, so the experience value of the task reward directly made Roddy count half a day... Later, he simply didn't count and directly invested his experience points in the "Elemental Summoner" subclass, and then found that he had directly increased it to level 57.
In terms of rank, Roddy is now actually at the top of the human world.
But the difference in species is insurmountable, and the upper limit of human beings is confirmed, which Roddy understands more and more deeply, and it can even be said that Talia chose to let the Demon Monarch come... It should be based on a similar perception.
It's just that she overestimated her own abilities and those of the priests.
Turning his attention to the quest reward, Roddy found that this quest had raised him directly to "Reverence" in all Dragons' reputation columns, and there was also a series of hints: in the city building column, a large number of newly unlocked buildings and options were flashing, and after a closer look, Roddy found that this was the result of a series of chain reactions: Dragons are now more closely related to humans, and it is even enough to open the "trade" option and trade all kinds of resources and magic items, magic books, etc.
Previously, the dragon cooperation only carried out in Holier City was a "communication exchange" between high-level people, and now the opening of all-round commerce means the beginning of a truly extensive cooperation between dragons and humans - obviously, in the face of the possible political and war situation in the future, this is the best choice, and it is also the choice that the dragon lords simply cannot refuse.
In the future, the Karen Kingdom will usher in a wave of all-round economic and technological blowouts, and Luo Di knows that he must grasp the direction of development, and then...
And then what to do? To be an actual head of state?
He found himself unimpressed by the power.
He unconsciously swiped the taskbar, and then he realized that the quest [Save the Tukhs!] was still stuck in the step of obtaining the "Tyrannic's Grip" staff.
Thinking of this, Roddy went to Hovira City again, dug out this reward from the ruins, and then saw that the task was updated to the next step-
But for the first time, Roddy found out that the mission hadn't been updated for half a day... It took a few seconds for lines of font to appear.
"Diser City has suffered serious damage, and the political situation in the country of Eskar is facing turmoil, and as the emissary and artifact keeper of Tarbris, it is your responsibility to quell the possible turmoil in the capital and resolve the imminent riots in the country.
Please minimize civilian casualties as much as possible, and make the Tukhs your most loyal people!"
He didn't expect that he would one day receive a similar task to seize power in a coup d'Γ©tat... To put it bluntly, isn't it just to directly gain control of the Eskar Kingdom and obtain resources from it!
But after thinking about it, Roddy realized that this was actually the best choice: in history, Spain was actually the original "empire on which the sun never sets", and then Britain relied on the industrial revolution and the conquest of backward countries to become the truly known "empire on which the sun never sets"...
In a practical sense, the resources of the Karen Kingdom are indeed not abundant, if you want to make science and technology and economy develop rapidly, population, resources, transportation, culture, etc. must keep up, and now Luo Di is no longer a political rookie, and his short ruling career has made him realize that the human group is by no means a dragon belt at the top, and a group of rabble below can take off immediately...
