Chapter 74: The Law of Infiltration (Page 1/1)

Xiao Chen and the others waited in the meeting room for about an hour before Ansaldo hurried back.

He lowered his head, walked to his seat, and was silent for a while before looking up and saying to Xiao Chen, "Okay, I agree to cooperate with you." But I am only responsible for sending you inside to meet the High Priest of the Forge Temple. Anything that happens after that and any action that doesn't matter to me. ”

"Don't you think that you are the safest only if we succeed in achieving our goal?" Xiao Chen asked rhetorically.

"No, you don't understand. It's not that I don't want to help you, it's that even if I really wanted to, I couldn't. For people like me, the relics of the gods are something that they have only heard of but have never seen. Although I am an important figure in the Fire Crystal family and the Governor of Port Crowwell, I am not qualified to go there. Ansaldo said.

"You should be considered a big man in the Dwarf Kingdom, right?" asked Luo Ling.

Ansaldo said, "The qualifications to enter the relics of the gods have little to do with worldly power.

There are only three types of people who can enter that place, the first is a member of the royal family, because the first key to enter the ruins of the gods is in the hands of the king. The second is the high priest of the temple of the forging god, who has the duty of visiting the relics of the gods from time to time to pray to the god of forging. The third is that the masters of the court forging division who have broken through the level of the great forging master, when they break through, in addition to getting the title of the palace forging master, they will also get a chance to go to the forging temple to comprehend the forging skills. It is said that there is a forging wall in the ruins, and it is possible to comprehend various magical techniques by looking at that wall, but if you do not reach the level of a master, you will not be able to bear the above contents, and you will soon become a madman. ”

Farrell's eyes widened, "How come I never knew about these things? I've just heard of the relics of the gods, and I know that it's a very sacred place, and very few people are qualified to go there. But no one had ever told me that you could learn the art of blacksmithing in the ruins, and I had never heard of any walls. ”

Ansaldo said: "This is limited to the forges who have been requisitioned by the royal family, and a master from a small noble family like you has no chance to know these things." ”

Xiao Chen asked, "In other words, apart from the High Priest of the Forging Temple, there are two other ways to enter the ruins?"

"No, it's actually one. Because the great forger still used the king's key to get in. Ansaldo said, "But since the War of the Two Kings, the king has rarely opened the relics of the gods again, and even the Great Forge and other members of the royal family have not had a chance to enter it again. As far as I can remember, only the king himself has been there twice, both for the reason of praying to the god of forging for the fortune of the dwarven kingdom. ”

"Why did the king reduce the number of times he entered the ruins of the gods, there can't be no rumors among you nobles, right?" Luo Ling asked.

Ansaldo said slowly: "I don't know what the real reason is, but I heard rumors that the king was not in the right position and was disgusted by the gods, and he was afraid that other people who entered the temple would be favored by the god of forging, so he cut off the possibility of others entering. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Chen felt a little strange. Because at least in human understanding, like the forging gods of the dwarves or the beast gods of the orcs, they are not real gods, unlike the fallen ancient gods, they are mostly fabricated pseudo-gods, which are fantasies of those races without the protection of gods.

These tricks could often deceive the commoners at the bottom, but it was hard for him to believe that a king would fear an illusory being interfering with his throne, and that shouldn't be the real reason.

Just as Xiao Chen was thinking, Luo Ling asked, "But can the high priest of the forging temple still enter?"

"That's different, the dwarves who enter the forging temple as priests are not eligible for secular titles and powers, and whenever there is an earthquake, collapse, flood and other disasters in the dwarf kingdom, the high priest will go inside to pray on behalf of the entire temple, hoping that the forging god can help the entire dwarf kingdom survive the disaster. Therefore, their most important task is to ask the god of forging to bless the dwarven kingdom, that is, to bless the major families in this kingdom, if the high priest of the temple is unable to pray, it will definitely cause the dissatisfaction of the great nobles.

What's more, the king who won the battle of the two kings now, that is, the second prince back then, was originally ascended to the throne through the support of the temple. The teacher of the current high priest of the temple was the king's staunchest supporter of the time. And the current high priest is also a friend of the second prince. Therefore, the king could not and could not prevent the Temple High Priest from entering the relics of the gods. ”

Xiao Chen keenly noticed the other party's words, and he said, "This can't be used really interesting, it seems that there is still some gap between the king and the high priest over the years?"

Ansaldo sighed: "Yes, this is all after the death of the previous high priest, the previous high priest died in the second year after the king succeeded to the throne, when the second prince obtained the throne, in fact, there are still many nobles in the kingdom who are not convinced, because the eldest prince is the one who should inherit the throne in the first place." But when the eldest prince was defeated and died, the second prince had the support of a noble high priest, and although those nobles were dissatisfied, they had no choice. But after the death of the high priest, these nobles who originally supported the eldest prince could not sit still, and some even thought about the idea of taking control of the dwarven kingdom instead of the royal family. At that time, the king and these nobles started a lot of open and secret battles, and later even developed into rebellion and suppression, many nobles died in the hands of the king, but the position of the new high priest at that time changed somewhat, no longer blindly on the king's side, he spent a lot of effort to save some nobles who were supposed to be executed by the king. From that time on, the relationship between the royal family and the temple was not as good as before. ”

Farrell snorted and said, "In the Dwarven Kingdom, two more mustaches are another world, and the different worlds are like an impermeable wall, and I don't know what you're talking about. ”

Ansaldo said: "What's the use of knowing this? It's just something that some great nobles know, but no one will say it directly." ”

"Sure enough, playing politics is a game that every intelligent life loves. Xiao Chen sighed, "Then your plan is to take the line of the high priest?"

Ansaldo nodded: "That's right, the High Priest enters the ruins of the gods much more often than the king, and the prayers of the temple are not public activities, so convincing the high priest to let him use the disaster as an excuse to open the ruins of the gods, and then secretly take you in, is the most feasible way now." ”
