Chapter 486: Red God Token
Rahlo lowered his face, tilted his head slightly, and stared at Iger with his shiny purple eyes, all the while seeing him in horror.
"You seem to be mistaken—you're fighting as a human to protect yourself in this war against the Strangers, not because 'I ask you' to help. Your presence has indeed saved me a lot of strength, but as long as the cold god is still afraid of me, this war is destined to be won by the humans who have my help behind me, and it is the same with you or not...... The difference is only in the size of the cost. I now use the power I have saved because of you to cast spells into your dreams, and after explaining everything to you, I owe you nothing. ”
Just when Egger thought that his temptation had provoked the goddess, and began to think in his heart whether to stop there to avoid the other party's madness, Rahlo's tone changed, and he changed the topic again: "Reward, that's all, but if you really want something else, it's not for nothing." Have you ever wondered: why should I deign to explain so much to you, a mortal, just to dissuade you from taking risks, instead of planting in your mind the thought that 'the land of eternal winter is dangerous and you can't go'?"
Egger's face changed a little, and for a while he didn't know whether the other party was really asking a rhetorical question, or intimidating and reminding him: she had god-like power for herself, and was she not an equal and bargaining object?
"Because you're not the kind of smart person who can make up a false idea or play a little trick to get applauded. I want people like you to be driven by me, and instead of casting spells to interfere with your thoughts, and then always worrying about whether you will break free of control due to suspicion and thinking, it is better to explain it clearly from beginning to end, so that you agree to serve me completely under your own will. ”
The woman no longer levitated side by side with him, but flew upwards and backwards for a short distance in the direction of the distance, her silver hair fluttering and spreading under the blowing of the air flow from nowhere, and looking down with brighter and brighter purple eyes.
Moments ago, she was just a dream visitor, a storyteller, and now she's back to the supreme Lord of Light, the red god Rahlo, who defies all things in the world.
"I do have something else to prepare, but it is not a reward, but a reward for what you will do for me in the future. The woman raised her right arm and opened her palm, and a small object that shone so brightly that it was impossible to see the details at all hung over her palm. "This time, I relied on my aftermath to force the cold god to stop, but bluffing will never be effective, and I must get out of my lingering state before my intimidation wears off. So, I've made a decision: to go into a long sleep of unknown time spans, use the hidden talent of my true dragon bloodline, take some risks, and try to cleanse my body of demonic power once and for all. ”
Lahlo lowered her hand, but instead of falling or being sucked away by the gravity of the planet of the Fire and Ice World in the nearby dream, Rahlo floated between her and Egger, shimmering as if it were alive, spinning slowly and evenly.
"While I was concentrating on recuperating from my wounds, I was unable to respond to the calls of the believers, nor was I able to interfere with the operation of the mortal world...... Therefore, I need a helper to manage the believers while I sleep, to protect the remaining descendants of the bloodline, and to build a new kingdom. The light on the goddess's body became brighter and brighter, and it gradually made it difficult to see her expression, "Childbirth is a troublesome and extremely debilitating thing, and I don't want to do it repeatedly, but at the same time, I hope that when I recover from my injuries and try to leave this world again, I don't have to wait for hundreds or thousands of years, and look forward to the formation of another huge kingdom that has the strength to build a magic circle for me - then, the best way is to start planning and building it in advance." ”
"Aegon Targaryen was my chosen pawn, but as soon as I took a nap, his children and grandchildren were left after a fratricidal fight...... As soon as you close your eyes again, the entire dynasty will disappear. Three hundred years of waiting has suddenly come to naught, and I need a new and reliable option to continue this interrupted mission, will you accept it?"
The True Dragon Dynasty established by Aegon the Conqueror after conquering the Seven Kingdoms was actually just a spare tire for Rahlo after the fall of Valyria?And now, she has been chosen and asked to assist her heirs in re-establishing a powerful and unified new kingdom, so that when this wayward goddess wakes up from her wounds, she can seamlessly and without delay immediately have the ability and resources to build a new space tearing circle again, so as to carry out the death of leaving this world again?
This sense of insignificance is unpleasant just to think about.
Not to mention, with the incredible time required for such a large project, there is a high probability that it will never be completed in my life, let alone return to my homeland with a stain.
But Egger had long since passed the childish stage of thinking only about whether he was happy or not, and he now only wanted to know what good he could do by the reward that Rahlo claimed to be prepaid, the glowing object that could not see the shape clearly.
Extraordinary power, immortality, or both?
"It's a scale of mine, a normal scale that has been cast with some spell applied to lock its power and contaminate its effect. Rahlo seemed to see through Egger's question, "Don't make a surprised expression, I have half-dragon blood, and the scenery under my clothes is not what you imagined." The Scale-bearers, the human spokesmen whom I have chosen and acknowledged, my followers will submit unconditionally to your authority, all self-conscious beings will fear your presence, and all the transcendent beings in the world who have seen or understood my existence, except the cold gods of the Land of Eternal Winter and the demons that still live in the ruins of Valyria, will not dare to oppose you. As a mortal with no power but no power, what better reward could there be?"
It was a bit of a surprise, but Iger wasn't quite satisfied, after all, it was far worse than anything he had ever imagined.
"To accept or to reject? "But I have to remind you that those who are willing to serve me in this world can line up from the Shadow Tower to the East Sea...... It's just that I like you, an outsider with the same identity and background as my mother, more than anyone else, so I came to you first. ”
Iger didn't believe anything that he preferred outsiders, but the task that Lahlo had asked for didn't bother him—it didn't conflict with his plan to put the queen on the throne, and it wasn't an exaggeration to say that it was carried out in passing. Lahllo said that the scale was an advance payment, but for him it was no different from the third reward, and that it should not be in vain.
In addition, the other party's words actually revealed another meaning: she will inevitably choose someone to be the spokesperson for this task, and she will either become this person or possibly ...... Gotta make enemies of this man.
"I accept, Ms. Lachlo. Iger didn't think about it for long, he wasn't asking for his own opinion at all. If the other party is really the red god Rahlo, most of them have made up their minds at the beginning of the decision to enter their dreams, and the opportunity to choose is just a ritual cutscene that makes it all seem like a compulsion. He has pride and unruliness, but he knows very well when he can behave and when he should hide in his stomach to show his well-behavedness: "For the rest of my life, I will faithfully fight for this task entrusted to you." ”
"Don't get cheap, sell well. Rahlo snorted lightly, "I don't have the heart to explain to you how to use this reward, so let's study it slowly." You can use your imagination as you please, and as long as a powerful kingdom that can be used by me is finally established, I will not care at all how you do evil or deceive you in my name...... Well, so be it, goodbye...... Maybe not again. ”
Although there were still a lot of doubts in her chest, the goddess did not give Egg a chance to speak. As soon as the words fell, the conversation in this slightly long dream finally ended, and the woman, who had been so bright as if she had made a human statue, finally broke and disintegrated into countless flash particles that flew in all directions, disappearing from the spot without a trace, leaving only the glowing "scales" and Egger with a belly full of question marks.
What did the last sentence mean, "Maybe I won't see you again"? Could it be that there was a possibility of death in failure in this long sleep of recuperation? This thought was only half a circle in his mind before it was replaced by a trance, and Iger quickly figured it out: this sentence is not seen again, not because she may die, but because she may die.
For an immortal being with an infinite lifespan, herself, a mortal passerby, might have floated for only a moment in her life. This is a very likely scenario: by the time she wakes up from that long sleep, recovers her health, and looks back at the mortal world, dozens or hundreds of years have passed, and she has long since been reduced to ashes - this is the true meaning of "maybe never again"!
After a moment of bitterness in his mouth, he was immediately troubled by a new question: Lahlo was gone, but why didn't she give her share of the "reward" to herself? Now that she was hanging in gravityless space, how could she reach the glowing scales that were also floating in the void more than ten meters away?
No, ahh
Just as he was about to simulate some superpower through his imagination in order to bring that reward closer to him, a greater doubt arose in his gradually waking mind: Wait, since this is a dream, how can we take the dragon scales in that dream, or half dragon scales to be precise, out of the dream?
As he was thinking about this question seriously and seriously, and even began to suspect that all this was just a hoax, the silver-gold dragon scales suspended more than ten meters away, gradually fading into dazzling brightness and becoming visible to the naked eye, seemed to become impatient from waiting. It stopped its slow spin, shook in place for a few moments, and the next moment it accelerated in utter defiance of common sense, turning into a beam of light that shot Egger into his chest like a bullet before he could react.
With a sharp stabbing pain in his chest, Egg opened his eyes and woke up from his dream.
