Chapter 47: Lobbying
At this time, Quicksand took a step forward and said, "Lord Duke, do you want to have a longer life?"
Duke Blue Wolf looked at her with interest and asked, "Can you give me a longer life?"
Quicksand said calmly, "Of course I don't have that ability myself, but there is a god behind me who is above many planes!"
"Gods?" the Duke smirked, "Do you think I'm going to believe in any god?"
"For the great dragon of eternity and time, faith is nothing but a nice-to-have. Quicksand said lightly.
Duke Blue Wolf looked surprised, but instead of questioning the answer, which violated the rules of the Faro plane, he seemed interested.
He looked at the quicksand again, and then said to Richard, "This little guy is the priest of the gods, right? If she had been placed in the church of Anne, she might even become pope in the future. But why did you bring this little girl to Faro, the gods had already sealed off this plane, and the gods outside couldn't extend their divine power into it. When this little girl's stored divine power is exhausted, she will be of no use, at most it will be for me to perceive the divine power characteristics of your god. ”
"Your Excellency, you are only half right. Quicksand is indeed here to show you the powers of the Dragon of Eternity and Time, but she can also restore her powers in Faro. If given the chance, she could even advance as she did on our plane. Richard said.
"Oh, she can regain her powers...... Wait!" Duke Greywolf's face changed suddenly, as the leader of a family of long-established ancestor worshippers, he knew no less about the gods than most popes. Therefore, the Duke knew very well what it meant for quicksand to be able to restore its divine power. That is to say, the gods that this little girl believes in are already powerful enough to exceed the sum of the gods of Faro, or the rules mastered by the other party are far beyond the level of the Faro plane. In any case, this is not good news for the beings of Faro. The arrival of Richard and the others meant that the god's gaze had fallen on the Faro plane.
At this time, Reilly pointed at Cass and smiled, "If there is no evidence, let him prove the strength of the Eternal Dragon." ”
Cass rose to his feet and walked to the center of the living room to cast a healing spell on Duke Greywolf.
At first, the Duke was a little confused. Healing is a low-level divine technique that every priest learns, and Cass has a very low priest level, and the effect of healing is only half that of ordinary priests. However, when the Duke discovers that Cass is a fallen priest, shock is already written all over his face.
It is only under the guidance of divine power that a fallen priest can be produced. However, Quicksand itself is only level ten, and it is simply impossible to use his stored divine power to create a level seven fallen priest. Therefore, the existence of Cass is ironclad proof that the dragon of eternity and time has cast divine power into the plane of Faro.
Then, Cass took out another pot of white moonflowers. This is a very common plant in the Pharrow plane, flowering for only about a minute before withering. The pot of moonburns that Cass took out now has only one bud. Richard took out a bottle of potion and poured it on the flower, and the bud slowly bloomed.
By the time Richard began to pour the potion, Cass was already reciting the incantation, which was so long that it took him half a minute to finish. Just as the Moonshade was blooming, Cass's magic happened to fall on it. So, under the gaze of everyone, the flower opened for three minutes before slowly withering.
After sensing that divine power, the Duke stood up suddenly! He had already discovered that the power that shrouded the moon was not the power of nature that added life to living creatures, but the power of time that affected the flow of time! Unlike the power of Sinai, the god of time, this was the real power of time! Although the power exerted by Cass was very weak, the Duke of Blue Wolf could sense the great existence behind this power, which was the master above many planes!
Suddenly, Duke Blue Wolf remembered what Richard had just said. So, he asked solemnly, "You just said that the god is called the Dragon of Eternity and Time?"
As he uttered the name "Dragon of Eternity and Time", Duke Wolf's voice trembled slightly. If nothing else, it was the name of the god that shocked him so much, and the meaning of it was completely unbelievable!
Most of the things that are called gods are gradually formed in the process of igniting the divine fire. When the godhead is stabilized, the gods will modify it to a certain extent and then inform their followers. The title of a god is closely related to his priesthood and divine powers. Most of the time, the meaning of the god's name has a high degree of accuracy. However, there are occasional exaggerated names of gods, such as Sinai, the so-called god of time.
Duke Blue Wolf had come into contact with the priests of Sinai and had a certain understanding of his divine powers. However, after feeling the power of the Eternal Dragon, he immediately knew that Sinai's god name was greatly exaggerated. A few minutes earlier, he had thought Sinai was the true god of time.
In fact, Sinai's divine power can only distort the flow of time for a moment, and then it will return to normal. It's like blocking a river and then opening the sluice gates at the right time to let it pour out. Unlike the divine power of the dragon of eternity and time, it is a force that can change the rules, like turning a river into a river and a sea.
"The dragon of eternity and time, the dragon of eternity and time......" Duke Blue Wolf chewed on the name of this god he had never heard before, and he lost his mind for a while. Actually, this is not surprising, mainly because the word eternal is too shocking.
"By the way, the Eternal Dragon's divine grace can extend life!" said Reilly, smiling.
Duke Blue Wolf regained his composure and asked, "So, how can we get the divine grace of the Dragon of Eternity and Time?"
This is a crucial question, to which Richard has already prepared: "First, we must have a minimum of reverence and faith, and then we will sacrifice to the eternal dragon so that we can receive divine grace." ”
"Sounds a bit like sacrificing to an ancestor. What kind of sacrifices are we going to prepare? livestock, monsters, slaves?"
"Items and ...... with great power Creature. In addition, there are some strange properties that can arouse the interest of the dragons of eternity and time. Richard said.
Hearing his words, the Duke laughed out loud and said, "Then, if I could send Sinai, the god of time, to the altar, wouldn't I be able to live for thousands of years longer?"
This time it was Richard's turn to be shocked, he looked at the duke who easily said the god-killing duke, and then turned his head to look at the quicksand before replying, "That's right." ”
Duke Blue Wolf smiled and once again threw out a crucial question: "Since there is to be a sacrifice, there must be an altar. You're not going to be able to move the altar from the Otherworld, are you?"
"Indeed, we need to build a new altar. Richard said.
Duke Blue Wolf pondered for a while and said, "If the altar is built in the name of ancestor worship, there is no problem. However, are there any special requirements for the construction of the altar?
Richard looked at Quicksand, who nodded and answered the question, "In order to communicate steadily with the Eternal Dragon, and to deliver sacrifices, the altar needs great power. This power is mainly activated by the first sacrifice, so a sacrifice of sufficient weight is required. In addition, the altar itself requires the use of a large amount of magical materials, and I can provide a detailed list. ”
"Sounds very doable...... the Duke fell into deep thought, and his heart was also at war between heaven and man.
Richard still had a calm expression, but his heart was inevitably tense.
The Duke's reaction was completely different from what he expected, and he didn't seem to be very eager to live longer. This made Richard very uneasy. If they can't impress Duke Greywolf, it will be difficult for them to get sacrifices in the short term.
I don't know how long it took, but the duke finally put down the teacup in his hand and said with a smile: "Richard, you are tantamount to making me betray the entire plane." ”
Reilly shrugged his shoulders and said, "Farrow himself doesn't ostracize outsiders for no reason, unless the other party does something that harms the entire plane. So, even if you join the forces of the Dragons of Eternity and Time, it is only the Faro Gods who will suffer. ”
This answer surprised the Duke very much. Although he belonged to the ancestor worship in his beliefs and was in a hostile position with the Farro gods, fundamentally speaking, the two sides followed the same path. When the Holy Spirit of the ancestors or the strong people of the clan ignited the divine fire, they also converted to the belief of the gods. Therefore, even the Duke of Blue Wolf Bilie recognized the high status of the gods in his heart, he just didn't want to believe in those gods who were not related by blood.
The Duke tapped lightly on the coffee table, looked up and said, "In any case, this is a very difficult decision. Perhaps a small weight needs to be added to the balance before a decision is made. Come with me, and I'll take you to meet someone. ”
Eventually, only Richard, Reilly, and Quicksand were allowed to leave with the duke, while the others remained in the drawing room.
