It's like a dream, chapter 10, and a dream is occupied

Chapter 10 Mengzhan When Rogge returned to Osinia again, the southern front had become noisy again. At this time, www.biquge.info the Holy Entente had been basically completed, including the two empires of the Asrofic Empire and the Droz Empire, a total of 26 large and small countries on the continent joined the Holy Entente, agreeing to fight together against the Duchy of Bavaria and the Church of Light. This is also the largest anti-church alliance on the mainland since the founding of the Church of Light hundreds of years.
Shortly before that, it was rumored that the Austro-Hungarian crown prince had secretly arrived in Lille, the capital of the Duchy of Bavaria, and that envoys from six or seven smaller countries had also arrived in Lille.
The situation of the whole battle situation is gradually becoming clearer.
At the same time that Rogge stepped into Osinia, under the auspices of the Pope, the Austro-Hungarian Crown Prince and Catherine, Grand Duchess of the Duchy of Bavaria, formally signed a declaration of alliance in St. James's Cathedral, agreeing to fight together against the infidels. The declaration was signed by less than ten Austro-Hungarian vassal states.
In contrast to the Holy Entente, this alliance was known as the Holy Radiance League.
At this point, the two major war groups of the North and the South were officially formed, and an unprecedented great civil war of the Terran race began. It seems to be aware of the turmoil within the human race, and countless foreign countries around the continent have also stirred, especially those races that have had thousands of years of incomprehensible hatred with the human race. Among them, there are a large number of alien empires such as orcs and dwarves, as well as races with extremely strong individual strength, such as froststorm giants, and even dark creatures hiding in the underground abyss are ready to move, hoping to fish in troubled waters and get more or less benefits.
Now that the two camps have been defined, at the junction of the southern border front of the Dro Empire, the battle has become fierce again and the scale is rapidly escalating. Fighting broke out from time to time, and the death toll continued to rise. But this is still just a tentative battle, and both sides are still guarding the current war zone and not easily crossing the zone.
However, for the upcoming big war, both camps are accumulating forces and mobilizing troops. The war machine of almost every country is running at high speed, and even a few countries that have temporarily remained neutral have begun to mobilize all the forces they can to mobilize just in case. These countries know that it is not pleasant to be caught between the two camps, and if the commander of one camp suddenly sends troops to attack on a whim, it will be a disaster for the destruction of the country.
The beauty of Osinia has been completely transformed into a war machine of barracks, workshops, hospitals, and magical bases, and the beauty of the past is long gone. There is no other color in the world than the black of the armor and the white of the sword. Rog's carriage traveled all the way, and all he saw was teams of soldiers, the deafening sound of striking iron, towers with magical brilliance, and wagons carrying war supplies.
This time, Rogge was riding in an ordinary horse-drawn carriage with no signs. Otherwise, once he is recognized, the fanatical believers will definitely make it difficult for him to move an inch. Rogge's carriage quietly drove into the side door of the Church's Icewind Grand Temple. Although Sophilan Palace is luxurious, it is inconvenient after all, and the fat man has many secrets that he cannot let the Drorian family know. So as soon as the Great Temple of Icewind was arranged, Rog immediately moved in.
Mirรณ is indeed versatile. The Great Temple of the Ice Wind, which was completely unmisretent, had become a magical fortress comparable to the iron and bronze walls under his magical workmanship. The second half of the hall had been completely remodeled by him with the Demon Realm building, and Adriene, who was proficient in spatial construction, had set up multiple portals and traps in the temple.
The back of the Icewind Grand Temple is a forbidden area, with only one portal to enter, and only a very small number of people are allowed to enter this area, so the back of the entire hall is quiet, and there are hardly any human figures visible. Rog made his way through the complicated corridors, and when he returned to his magic laboratory, he carefully closed the door. After passing through several more portals, the fat man finally entered a small room in the innermost part.
As soon as the door opened, a hoarse roar of pain erupted from the room, mixed with intermittent whimpering. Rogge smiled with satisfaction and stood in front of the magic test table.
There was a crystal tray on the test table, which was half-filled with dark purple liquid, and the dancing crystal light reflected this deep purple, revealing a strange appearance. Neutralized in the liquid was the head of the orc priest Augenheller. It seems that because it has been soaked for too long, the green color of the high priest's skin has become extremely pale and almost invisible. Around the crystal tray stood several thin metal rods, the heads of which from time to time emitted a thin bolt of lightning that slashed at the skull in the middle of the tray. With each lightning strike, Augenheller would fall into a state of near-mad pain, his entire face twisted to a terrifying twist. After the pain subsided a little, a new lightning bolt struck.
In front of Augenheller, an earthy yellow crystal was erected, and two thin rays of light connected the crystal to the eyes of the high priest. When the thin line is like a sharp string, it vibrates, and at this time, there will be countless pictures in the crystal like bubbles, constantly appearing and dissipating.
Rogge retrieved the crystal and searched for the memories of Augenheller recorded in the crystal with his mental powers.
The unbearable pain had tormented the orc priest to the point of delirium, and memories of the past unconsciously flooded from the deepest recesses of his soul before being recorded by crystals. To keep track of Augenheller's memories, Rogge reluctantly used a fragment left behind by the Earth Prophet.
Rogge waved his hand, the lightning that tormented Augenheller vanished, and the orc priest finally regained his senses after the pain slowly subsided. He saw Rogge, and he saw the crystal in Rogge's hand, and chagrin and remorse quickly filled the tormented face.
Rogge sat down in front of Augenheller and said slowly, "You don't have to blame yourself too much, so far, no one has been able to withstand the torment of the soul without revealing a single secret. Even if you are strong-willed, this never-ending pain is enough to shatter your mind and make you subconsciously say everything you know. โ
He flipped through the memories in the crystal and chatted casually with the High Priest.
Organheller comes from a strange orc tribe in the Central Mountains, a tribe far more powerful than the other orc tribes. It's just that Organheller is different from other orcs, his mother is an elf who wanders in the mountains and is captured by the orcs. The Elven bloodline made Organheller physically weaker than the other Orcs, but it also brought him wisdom far beyond that of his kind.
The life of the orcs in the Central Mountains is extremely hard. Every year, a large number of orcs die of starvation and cold. This was nothing in the eyes of the other orcs, who would only take it for granted, a means by which the Lord of Darkness had chosen the stronger orcs. But Augenheller is different, he has wisdom, and he yearns for a happy life in the days of the powerful orc empire in orc legends.
In that fate-changing day, a boulder on the sacred mountain of the tribe suddenly took on life, which was the prophet of the earth.
The Earth Prophet guided the orcs to recognize the contempt of the dark gods for them, and brought with them the brilliance and powerful magical powers of the beast gods. Because of his different elven bloodlines, Organheller became the fastest orc to master magical powers, and thus became the great sacrifice of the entire orc empire.
In the following days, in order to guide the wisdom of the orcs, the prophets of the earth successively used multiple intelligent races to mix with the orcs, and many strange new species were born. Most of these species are failures, but there are a few examples of success, some of which gradually evolve and eventually become orc war behemoths. At the same time, the Earth Prophet also brought the orcs knowledge of smelting, forging and other aspects, laying a solid foundation for the establishment of the orc empire.
The prophets of the earth were always asleep. And the condition for awakening it is the souls of at least a hundred elite orcs.
After more than a decade of secret development, Augenheller finally discovered that the only way to inspire the wisdom of the orcs was to mix with the elves. The Earth Prophet even helped the High Priest directly listen to the oracle of the beast god, thus mastering the magic array of the soul. This magic array can extract the power of the souls of the individual souls of the intelligent race, and use it as a key to open the wisdom for the orcs. If wisdom can be measured, then the wisdom of the orcs is far less than the original wisdom of those intelligent races, and after the soul is extracted, those intelligent races will become walking corpses with only biological instincts.
The ferocity and cruelty of this method did not make Augenheller regress. After decades of covert development, the Orc Empire has enough power to carry out its plan to unlock wisdom. At this moment, Organheller's grand plan to completely open the wisdom of the entire orc race is lacking, and the only thing that is lacking is the huge number of intelligent races.
Seeing this, Rogge sighed secretly. He looked at the orc priest with only his head remaining, and his mood was quite complicated.
Organheller had no spouse or offspring in his life, and he had dedicated all his time to the beast god and to the future of the orcs. In a way, his paranoia and beliefs actually have a lot in common with Rogge.
The fat man shook his head and flipped through his memories again, this time, all his attention was on the ritual of sacrificing to the beast god, listening to the oracle of the beast god, the incantations, and the tremors of the soul when the great sacrificial spirit came into contact with the consciousness of the beast god.
I don't know how long it took, Rogge finally stood up and said to the high priest: "You are not wrong, and the elves are not wrong. The only thing that is wrong is the beast god who instigated you to change the current order, in fact, she has another name, and that is the goddess of nature. Thank you for telling me so much, especially the sacrificial rituals and how you feel listening to the oracles, which are priceless secrets. As a thanksgiving, I will let you endure the baptism of electric fire for all eternity. โ
With that, Rogge reactivated the magic array, and the slightest electric fire began to scorch the soul of the high priest again. The fat man walked out of the room, closed the door, and shut Augenheller behind the door forever with his scream.
Rogge walked briskly towards the meditation room. Organheller's memories had given him so much to tell him about the goddess of nature, and he desperately needed time to digest it.
When Rogge walked out of the meditation room again, it was seven days later.
Seven days is enough time for many great things to happen. One of the most important was that Feuerbach the Great finally led the Imperial Praetorian Guard into the Droe Empire, where he joined Alexander and Pompey. Today, Asrofik's army in the Dro Empire has exceeded 400,000, far exceeding the number agreed upon by the Holy Entente. But at this moment, how dare Emperor Dro say anything?
As soon as Feuerbach the Great settled down, he immediately sent an envoy to summon Rogge to meet him.
When Rog hurried all the way from Osinia to the headquarters of the Imperial army, the old steward Sara Winger had been waiting for him for a long time. Under the guidance of the old steward, Rogge entered the temporary palace built for Feuerbach the Great. Androni, who came with him, was not allowed to enter the palace and could only wait at the door.
As soon as he stepped through the gate of the palace, Rogge was so surprised that he involuntarily stopped.
Inside and outside the gate, there are two completely different worlds. At this moment, it was noon, the bright sun was hanging high in the sky, and the dazzling halo was scattered in a circle, emitting blazing sunlight, baking the world outside the door. However, the palace was only one door away, exuding a gloomy, damp atmosphere, and a large mass of darkness seemed to be substantial, gushing out from every corner from time to time, filling every inch of space here.
The gate of the palace is open, but the sunlight outside the door does not shine into the world inside!
In this eerie world, Rogge suddenly felt dizzy, his hands and feet weak, and he almost fell to the ground. He was taken aback, and immediately gathered his mental strength to try to stabilize his body. But the faint silver glow in his eyes was very conspicuous here, like a pool of blood in the sea, attracting all the wandering, shark-like darkness around him.
These darkness contains incredible power, they completely ignore Rogge's material existence, and directly invade Rogge's spiritual world, like a wave of black waves, repeatedly washing his soul!
Rog let out a roar of pain, and silver flames erupted around him. As soon as the rain of light flashed, the darkness was drowned out, and even the crackling sound could be heard. Before the pressure of Kuroshio, he felt like an insignificant ant, trying to move a thousand huge stones that were pressing on him!
The feeling at that moment was so powerless.
At this moment, the pressure on Rogge's body suddenly lightened, and Sara Wenge's weak voice sounded in his ears: "Lord Rogge, this is now the realm of the Dark Lord God, and all the resistance you are making now is disrespectful to the Dark Lord God. Relax, let the darkness pass through your soul, and you will find that the Lord of Darkness is actually very forgiving!"
Rogge had no choice but to give up his resistance. Sure enough, the darkness that had just been holding the pressure of the mountain suddenly turned into wisps of wind, gently brushing through Rogge's soul and then walking away.
In just an instant, the fat man was already sweating profusely, his whole body was weak, and he wanted to collapse. He took a deep breath and finally stood on his feet.
Sarawenge nodded and praised, "Lord Rogge's understanding of the nature of the plane and the realm of the gods is truly extraordinary, and it seems that the goddess Audreych is indeed far-sighted, and has chosen you as her agent in this plane." It's no wonder that she was able to make such a big leap in her godhead in such a short period of time. โ
Rogge was taken aback, he definitely didn't want to attract the attention of Sarawinger and the Emperor to his power, so he immediately said modestly: "Lord Sarawinger, you are really too famous. My magic is nothing compared to your strength. โ
Sara Wenger smiled, the dry laughter that made the fat man creep.
He glanced at the fat man and said meaningfully: "The size of absolute power is not the most important thing. I'm sure you've figured it out. Come with me, don't keep the Emperor waiting too long. โ
This time, Saravinge led Rogge into not the Emperor's study, but a sacrificial room. In the center of the room, there was an altar carved entirely out of black jade, and above the altar there was a fluctuating darkness. Rogge immediately sensed that the aura contained in this darkness was exactly the same as the darkness that almost destroyed his spirit just now, the only difference was that the power represented by this seemingly faint darkness was ten million times greater than the darkness in the palace.
If the darkness that almost makes Rog irresistible is a drop of water, then the darkness on this altar is an ocean without limit!
"Don't be surprised, what you feel is the power of the great Lord God of Darkness! The Emperor's voice came from behind Rogge.
Rog withdrew his gaze from the darkness, turned to his knees, and saluted Feuerbach the Great, who was limping into the room.
The Great Emperor waved his hand and said, "No need to kneel." In this room, you and I are no different, we are just insignificant servants in front of the Lord God of Darkness!"
The Emperor stood in front of the altar and stared at the flowing darkness. Rogge secretly wondered in his heart, according to his understanding of various religions, Feuerbach the Great's actions at this moment could be said to be a great disrespect to the Lord God of Darkness.
Feuerbach seemed to know what Rogge was thinking, smiled lowly, and turned to say, "Rogge, the Lord of Darkness is extremely forgiving, and he doesn't care if we observe the red tape of those sacrifices. As long as we have true faith in our hearts, this is enough. I have come to you this time to explain something to you before the war begins. Just by looking at the fact that you no longer care about the size of absolute power, you can see that your understanding of the kingdom of God is deepening. Knowing this will help you somewhat. โ
Rogge was taken aback again, and cold sweat rolled down. His understanding of the Divine Domain can be said to be all derived from the Book of Shiloh, and it is only understanding, why is the Emperor and the old boss almost ignorant of everything about him? The fat man doesn't know if they know that they have read the Book of Shiloh, and if they do, it won't be very good. Thousands of years ago, all accounts included Shiloh, the great elf of war, among the gods of light. The fat man didn't have to think about it to know that the relationship between Shiloh and the dark lord god that the Great Emperor believed in was definitely not much better.
The Emperor smiled and said, "Don't panic. I don't have the ability to see through your power matter, it's the omniscient eye of the Lord of Darkness who sees your secrets. The Lord of Darkness has just sent down an oracle, and he has decided to join forces with your faith in Audrech to fight against the Celestial Realm. As for the troubles that Odreh encountered, since they had been noticed by the eyes of the Lord God, all troubles would no longer be troubles. โ
Feuerbach's words were too sensational, completely shattering Rogge's usual pride in calmness and self-control. At this time, Rogge only felt that his brain was in chaos, so he had to say yes again and again. But the emperor's later words suddenly touched his nerves. Rogge immediately asked nervously, "Goddess Audreych is in crisis, what kind of crisis is it, does the great dark lord god have an oracle?"
The Great Emperor shook his head and said, "Since the Dark Lord God has decided to solve the crisis for Odreh, then why worry?"
But how could Rogge not be worried? It's just that since the Emperor had already said so, he couldn't continue to ask.
However, Rogge remembered something again, and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, should the Holy Church in the future allow the followers to worship the Lord God of Darkness at the same time?"
Feuerbach said: "Now is the time to tell you something. As you can see, standing behind the Asrofik Empire is one of the great Dark Lords, Barsaro Demogogan! Rogge, you have a pair of eyes that can see the Divine Domain, and you must have deeply felt the indescribable power of the Dark Lord God just now. In fact, wherever the great Barsarodemo Gorgan treads, he transforms itself into a kingdom where darkness reigns over all! The power of darkness that he possesses comes from nothing, is endless, and is endless, so that the power of faith is not needed at all. Continue to make your followers worship Audrech and expand the number of followers as soon as possible, as the Lord of Darkness asks of you. โ
The Great Emperor walked up to Rogge's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "The Lord of Darkness also has an oracle, and when the decisive battle comes, at the cost of millions of pious souls, he will be able to build a bridge to the source of darkness, and at that time, his clone will appear directly in this plane! I think you understand what this means, so let it go, the Lord God of Darkness is with us!"
It was the first time since he ascended to the pope that Rogge was so emotionally stirred that he didn't even know how he had returned to Osinia.
In the decisive battle between the two armies, what does it mean if the clone of the dark god Barsaro Dimo Gogen appeared directly on this plane?
Perhaps for the first time, Rogge saw a ray of light in the vast darkness.
Feuerbach actually confirmed one thing he had been worried about, and that was that Fengyue was indeed in crisis all along. Rogge knew something about the Divine Domain, but he still didn't know anything about the crisis that Fengyue, who had already become a god, was encountering. It's just that the Great Emperor is right, when the eyes of the Lord God of Darkness are fixed on Fengyue, all crises will no longer be crises.
When he stepped into the Great Temple of Icewind, Rogge calmed down a little, calmed down again, and began to examine the current situation. After much thought, Rogge finally decided to give it a go. He was originally a gambler who wanted to gamble hard when he saw it, but the chips in his hand were too small to lose at all, so he lived cautiously. But at this moment, since he has found the great backer of the dark god Barsaro Dimorgogen, if he doesn't seize the opportunity to do it hard, the opportunity will not come again once it is gone.
And the most important thing at the moment is the number of believers. Although the Emperor himself didn't say it too clearly, it was obvious that the millions of victims and the power of faith that provided Fengyue would fall on the believers of the Holy Church.
Rog stood in the lobby of the Great Temple of the Ice Wind, looking at the statue of the goddess standing on the altar, and was silent for a long time. At this moment, he once again made up his mind that whether it was deception or abduction, or threats and temptations, he would pull more people into the Holy Church and transform them into believers in Fengyue.
Seeing the Pope standing quietly in front of the statue of the goddess, the high-ranking clergy in the Great Temple of the Ice Wind all ran over at this time, quietly waiting for his orders.
Finally, Rogge beckoned, and several cardinals immediately surrounded him, respectfully waiting for Rogge's orders.
Rogge casually assigned several tasks, and although his tone was very flat, the content of those tasks made the cardinals feel a chill in their hearts. However, they dare not say much, so they can only do it separately.
Rog stood in front of the statue for a moment before stepping into the back of the temple.
In the empty meditation room, Rogge couldn't settle down anyway. In desperation, he had no choice but to go out of his room and went straight to Hughes's room. For some reason, without consulting with the old fox, Rogge always felt uneasy.
The space in the back half of the Great Temple of the Icewind was much larger than it seemed on the surface, so Xius's residence was also extremely spacious, with a large living room alone measuring more than ten meters square.
Hughes seemed to have nothing to do all day, and whenever Rog went to him, he must have been in the room sipping tea. In the other corner of the living room, Eiffel stood at a large table with a small hammer in her hand, smashing dozens of gems on the table one by one.
When Rog saw her, he knew she must be practicing prophecy. It's just that Eiffel's prophecy is different from anyone else's, and the magic props used to launch the prophecy are also strange, and the magic materials she uses are not the same once as the few times Rogge has seen them. The sacred code that Constantine gave to Eiffel had already been secretly copied by the fat man, so Rogge was very clear about the principles and casting of prophecy.
It's just that the fat man himself has no faith, and even to the goddess Odrech, he is also disrespectful and occupies an absolutely dominant position. Therefore, despite the fat man's magic control, if he wants to cast prophecy, there is no door.
But according to the Holy Codex, Eiffel's prophecy was a fool's errand, and it was unthinkable that it would never succeed. However, her prophecy has an astonishingly high success rate, and almost every prophecy has been answered. However, perhaps because of the mess in her casting process, the results of the prophecy response were mostly inexplicable.
Every time he sees Effie, Rogge always feels a little relaxed from the bottom of his heart. He smiled, sat down in front of Theseus, and reached out to serve the tea, as was customary. It's just that the teacup he got in his hand was empty, and there was nothing. The fat man looked up and looked thoughtfully at the steaming and refreshing teacup in Hughes's hand.
Xius drank the tea in his hand in one gulp, and then smiled: "Lord Rogge, do you have anything to do with me?"
Rog pondered for a moment, and finally finally said something about the Lord of Darkness, Barcelona, Demo Gogan. This time, Theseus's countenance became unusually solemn, and he asked, "Did you sense the breath of the Dark Lord God?"
Rogge was in a trance, and recalled the thrilling moment when he touched the power of the Dark Lord God.
"It is the sea, a sea of darkness that knows no bounds. โ
Xius thought for a long time before he said slowly: "Lord Rogge, in the era of the Elven Empire, there were many Great Elven Kings who touched the realm of the gods, and they left many records about the realm of the gods. In particular, there is a passage that mentions the Lord God of Darkness. In this plane, very few people can sense the existence of the dark gods, according to the analysis of the elven ** master Banks, this is because most of the dark main gods do not need the power of faith, so they do not look for agents in our plane. What kind of god Barcelo Dimorgogen was has never been recorded, but if Feuerbach the Great is true, and his presence alone is enough to transform a plane into a dark plane, then he should belong to the main gods, and the advent of his doppelganger can completely determine the outcome of the entire war. After all, according to the history books of the Elven Empire, in this plane, there has never been an existence that can directly confront the main god clone. โ
Rogge was relieved in his heart, and said happily: "It's just a million souls, this thing is easy to do! If I can make the doppelganger of the dark lord god come, then what am I afraid of! Of course, I have to let it go!"
Hughes pondered for a moment and said, "Lord Rog, the great Audrech is very kind to you, but can you ask her to help you snatch this teacup from me?"
Rogge was stunned for a moment and replied: "Such a boring little thing, even if I insist on it, how can she do such a thing?"
"That's it," said Hughes. Lord Rogge, the power of the Lord God is beyond our reach. This war is the most important event in the eyes of any nation, and even in the entire plane. But who can guarantee that our plane is very important in the eyes of the Lord God? What we think is big may be a trivial and trivial matter in the eyes of the Lord God of Darkness. In fact, just as a king of a country does not pay attention to the brawls of a small village, I think that the more powerful a god is, the less important we are in his eyes. So Lord Rogge, you can't pin all your hopes on the Lord God of Darkness, the power in your own hands is the power that you can really rely on. โ
Rogge nodded and said, "I see." By the way, Elder Theseus, do you know where Adlene is?"
"I saw her this morning. It seems that she left the temple with Miro, and as for what she was going to do, my old man does not know. โ
Rogge frowned and didn't say anything.
When he said that he had a deep conversation with several strong men, he asked them to obey his command, and as long as he won the war, he could say anything in the future. At that time, everyone agreed, but the result was still no different from before. For example, Adelene and Miro left without permission, they had no idea where they were or what they were doing, and Rog had no way to get in touch with them. If there is something really going on at this time, how can you expect them?
Rogge snorted, stood up, and was about to leave. He already knew that it was impossible to get this powerhouse to follow the command honestly. But the fat man has another way, he is determined to find some work for these strong men who have nothing to do, find something that makes them all feel headaches and can only work together obediently.
The fat man had just taken two steps when Eiffel smashed the last gem. She looked at the flames that scaled out in an instant, and suddenly raised her head and stared at Rog, a pair of clear eyes sparkling.
Rogge was like a thorn in the back by her, and he felt uncomfortable up and down. He cleared his throat and said tentatively, "Eiffie, you ......"
Before he could finish speaking, Eiffel had already asked quickly, "Lord Divine Envoy, are you busy now?"
Rogge was stunned for a moment and said, "Now?" After a pause, he continued: "It's not particularly busy, you ......"
Eiffel interrupted him again and said, "It's okay not to be busy, give me thirty minutes." โ
Rogge asked suspiciously, "Thirty minutes is fine, but Eiffel, are you okay?"
Eiffel pounced, grabbed Rogge by the hand, and walked straight into the room, saying as she went, "I haven't done the job you gave me in the first place, I haven't done it for a long time. I'll make it up now!"
(To be continued)
