Chapter Twenty-Nine: The War Priests
Sure enough, it is a goddess with a small belly and chicken intestines.
Stephen can be said to have given her a lot of face, but he didn't expect her to still hold a grudge. Whether it's Lady Luck or Goddess of Doom, these two gods are stingy people, it's better not to provoke them if it's okay, Stephen feels that he doesn't rely on luck to eat, as long as he stays above average. If you really want to improve your luck, go back to Queen Betty and let her kiss her for a while. Little fairies are originally the spiritual embodiment of nature, they are born with lucky attributes, and they can even infect the people around them with luck.
The bottomless abyss was quiet again for the time being.
With the help of the Time Dragon and the Void Eye, Stephen was able to detect that many demons had sneaked into the main material plane, but none of these demons were under his jurisdiction. His task is to prevent those beings above the demigod level from entering the main material plane, ordinary demons even high-level Barrot Flame Demons he doesn't have to pay attention to, and the weakest worthy of Stephen's action has to be the lower demon lord. But the situation inside the Void Boundary outside the Bottomless Abyss was not very clear to others, and after discovering that those ordinary demons could enter the main material plane, some demon lords who were entrenched in many layers began to stir again.
They sent their minions to sneak in, and at the same time secretly calculated when they could smuggle in to make a profit, the soul of the main material plane is the richest, and these demons jump out to do things in every turbulent period.
Arendelle.
After seeing off the goddess of doom, Stephen's attention turned back to Arendelle's side, and he made a trip to Glacier City, where he found that the tavern owner in Modor City was actually bragging about the truth, his ancestors had really been the lord of the city, and he had also erected a statue under the glacier for hunting an ancient dragon-level white dragon. There are not many dragons left in the White Dragon Mountains today, hundreds of years ago it was a gathering place for frost bipeds and white dragons, and now dragons can only be seen deep into the mountains. Stephen blessed himself with a constant advanced flying technique, and flew all the way down the mountain in the direction of the sea.
He was going to take a look around the plane.
There are still some pirate forces active in Arendelle's area, but it is interesting to note that they actually believe in Sauron, the Lord of Death. It is said that the god of death once ruled the four seas of the main material plane before he became a god, and at that time he absorbed most of the pirate forces in the entire world. As a result, many pirates today believe in him, believing that good enough pirates will enter His realm after death and become the ferryman of the River Styx. Most of these pirates do not burn and loot excessively, they are more inclined to occupy a sea area and collect corresponding protection fees, generally they need to take close to 30% of the profits of merchant ships.
The colonial era was characterized by the prevalence of maritime trade, and the emergence of an alchemical industrial system in the main material plane under the intervention of the god of death.
Stephen was interested in looking at it all.
In the Quarter Moon World and the Motella World, he also needs to promote the progress of the entire dimensional civilization, although there are not so many gods in these two worlds, but because of the Death Omen Star, there are still a large number of remaining monsters outside, so the danger level is even higher for ordinary people. From Stephen's point of view, the Grim Reaper's pace of advancing civilization is still very conservative, because he has only seen a relatively complete industrial system in the overseas islands, but it is only at the level of the First Industrial Revolution. If Stephen had done it, it would have taken about ten to twenty years to advance civilization to the level of modern history.
Of course.
It's not a good thing for civilization to go berserk, even if it's a tech tree on the magic side.
After drifting on the sea for a while, Stephen traveled to the land of the elves, and the elves of the Emerald Forest still enjoyed a comfortable life, seemingly indifferent to everything in the outside world. The biggest enemy of the entire elven god system is the spider god queen, and there are daily battles between surface elves and drow elves near the corrupted spider forest. Stephen disguised himself as a normal elf, which made it easy for him to infiltrate the elven realm. The realm of the elves has hardly changed much over the years, not even the impact of the Sage Catastrophe has caused some upheaval, and their civilization has continued from the Thorium Age to the present day.
The pace of life of the immortals is very slow.
Stephen lost interest in the elven kingdom after a walk, because he was not interested in the poetry, song and dance they loved at all, and the self-sufficient closed life made the elven kingdom a bit dull, completely lacking the vitality of human society, no wonder many elves would run out to fall in love with humans.
It's already very close to Fallen Leaf City.
It used to be the largest city of the Half-Elves, but now the most Half-Elves are the Overseas Islands. Deciduous City is planted with a large number of plane trees, this is a very beautiful city, but the atmosphere here was already a little tense when Stephen arrived, from the mouths of others, Stephen learned that the southern countries have started a war with the overseas islands, and the situation on the south coast has become quite delicate for a while.
And as the war came, Stephen also saw a group of muscular men in priests' robes here.
- Priest of War.
The emblem of this group of priests is very interesting, it is 'five hands with a scimitar in a circle', this is the emblem of the god of war - Karezos, he is a relatively weak god, even if the main body comes, he will not be able to beat Stephen, and it can even be said that he will be completely beaten by Stephen.
But his boss is pretty good.
Because the main god of the god of war is the god of battle - Tampas, and the priesthood is war, battle, and warrior, a powerful main god who controls the fields of battle, strength, and protection, and is also the backbone of the conservative gods, although he is not very supportive of the Lord of Light, but he also opposes the reform of the Lord of Death. Stephen quickly saw from these people the priests of other gods in the God of War system, such as the priest of the Red Knight (the goddess of strategy), the priests of the God of War Temple rarely show up, but if there is a war somewhere in the main material plane, then they will quickly appear with a keen sense of smell.
The priests were led by the High Priests of the God of War, and they hurried out of Fallen Leaf City, where they soon disappeared into the mountains.
"War is coming?"
Stephen held his chin in contemplation, the direction of the war priests seemed to be the territory of the orcs, and there was also a legend there, Eugene, the Ascender.
A powerful orc who became a god in a turbulent year.
