Chapter 111: Goals and Exploration
(This is a plus)
At noon on Saturday, after a happy birthday and a late wake-up of Abner, he had breakfast and arrived at the southeastern edge of the Karaston area, the former town of Alder, now the capital of the "Duchy of Hydra".
The reason for such a name is also a meme played by Abner, after all, this is the territory of the "God of War and Destruction", and the current main body of the "God of War and Destruction" is Vicente Miranda, the "Lord of the Revenant".
Since he is the "Lord of the Dead", how can he not "live" in Hydra?
Now Abner has been deeply aware that the higher the sequence is raised, the more it is necessary to strengthen the distinctive parts of his human nature, otherwise even if there is an "unknown" to balance the "divinity" and "anchor", it is difficult for him to ensure that after continuing to improve, the fragile humanity will not be polluted and assimilated by either party.
After all, once promoted to the Old Gods, before a new balance of "divinity", "anchor" and "unknown" is established, the comparison of human nature with these three is like a small boat sailing in a stormy sea, which may capsize at any time.
"No wonder the 'God of Luck' is so second-in-class, and what does he call himself a 'goddess's poetry.... And Rhine, Vicente, Alvin, Dennett, Evans, etc. also have distinct personalities, and they are all the result of the "I" at different times magnifying the profound part of their personality.....
In the blink of an eye of thought, Abner had already walked to the central cathedral of the new city of "Heidler", and walked directly through the prayer hall of the church to the council chamber behind him.
- Since the Duchy of Heidler has only been proclaimed for a day, the Grand Duke's mansion has not yet been built, and Ornia's doppelganger still lives in the church.
Passing through a modest corridor, Abner admired the paintings hanging from the walls on either side of the wall before coming to an open door with a silver moon and a blood moon at the end.
He was about to use his "Open the Door" ability to enter directly, but the door opened on its own, and then Emlyn walked out of it. As if he hadn't seen Abner at all, Mr. Moon walked past him and ran out excitedly.
"Emlyn is allowed to move freely and is ready to explore the kingdom of the Old Gods with Leonard, right?" Abner instantly guessed Emlyn's thoughts, and shook his head with a smile.
The address of the "Demon Wolf King" Fregra's Divine Kingdom Ruins given by Parles and the mission location assigned by the "Blood Count" happen to be in the Karaston area, which is a game that the goddess and Lilith did in order to attract the attention of the "Hidden Sage", so I took advantage of the situation and let the "Moon" and "Star" save this game on the bright side....
Of course, this is also deliberately done for the "hidden sage" to make him think that I am on the second level and He is on the third level, but in fact..... Hehe.
Well, what's more, the "Demon Wolf King" died with Lilith and the "Xeno-King", and the goddess was bathed in his blood, so he was promoted.....
How do you think that Fregra's kingdom of God is under the control of the goddess! I hope the goddess can leave some rewards for the "stars" and "moons".
With this in mind, Abner walked into the council chamber and appeared as he closed the door.
Ornia smiled when she saw him, beckoned him to take her seat, and quipped, "Is it too late to say 'Happy Birthday' now?"
Abner calmly picked up the black tea brewed by the "Blood Moon Queen", took a sip, and responded, "If you can make up for a 'birthday gift', it's not too late."
At this point, he added, "No potions." After a few jokes, the two got down to business.
"Now that the Principality has been formed, what's next for us? The Byron Empire? Colonies of Rune and Intis? Or continue to attack the forces of the 'Rose School'?" Ornia asked.
"There is no need to expand for the time being, it is still hostile to the 'Rose School', and it is good to maintain the status quo with other forces." Abner paused when he said this, and then said with a serious expression, "The first task now is to develop ourselves, strengthen the church, and when the right opportunity comes, I will launch a war to unify the southern continent."
Hearing this, Ornia glanced at him thoughtfully, and didn't ask why, just nodded and said, "I understand.....
After this topic, Abner asked again, "Were there any surprises in the process of establishing the principality? Do the people of the Southern Continent have any resistance to a person like you who is obviously of the Northern Continent race as their Grand Duke?"
"There must be some radicals who resist..... But the vast majority of people are still acceptable..... After all, the upper-class characters of the ancient Highland Kingdom and the Paz Kingdom are actually from the Northern Continent, even if it is the royal family of the Bailang Empire, the Eggers family, they are actually mixed-race, and their appearance is more biased towards the Northern Continent race.
"This is what you said about the 'old days' tradition." Ornia said with a smile.
Abner thought about it carefully, and found that Mr. Azik's appearance in his memory was indeed very similar to that of the Rune, but his skin was slightly darker, so he bowed his head slightly and said, "That's good..... Again, our top priority now is to develop the economy, and to make the Duchy of Heideler a benchmark in the southern continent, which will naturally make people in other places yearn for it.
"As for how to develop, I just have a package..."
With that, Abner "made" a stack of papers out of thin air and handed it to Ornia.
Her Majesty took it and read it carefully, and the conference room fell silent for a while. .....
Karaston City, in a hidden space beneath the former Lord's Mansion.
Emlyn, who was holding the "Pure White Vision", saw a glimmer of light light on Leonard's body, and then the only door with a "weird" connotation in this space opened a gap.
Glancing at Mr. "Moon" with his mouth wide open, Leonard unbuttoned the collar of his shirt and chuckled, "This decaying kingdom of God, with broken order and abnormal rules, has too many places to exploit."
How does it feel like this is something you can say..... Emlin, who had been acquainted with Leonard for half a year, sneered, and then threw the "Pure White Vision" directly down the crack in the door.
In this way, even if there are dark creatures or undead ambushes at the door, they will definitely be driven away.
Leonard somehow felt a little familiar with this operation, and couldn't help but ask, "How did you come up with the idea of doing this?" "It's the "common sense" of Sherlock's adventures." Emlyn glanced at him and replied very sincerely.
It turned out that Klein told him.... No wonder I think it's a "captain" move. Leonard nodded knowingly.
A minute later, when warmth and purity enveloped the entrance, Leonard and Emlyn cautiously stepped into the realm of the Old Gods.
Of course, before entering, they also recited the name of Mr. "Fool" and invoked the "angel" for protection.
