Chapter 106 The Potion of Fire
Richard thought so, and so did most of the high priests. As emissaries of the dragons of eternity and time, they are naturally superior to the priests of the other gods. Status is not spoken of, but stems from the charisms that are easier to reach the higher ranks, as well as the more powerful and functional divine arts. Quicksand had just reached the realm of the Great Priest until he left for the Dark Domain. But her divine skills have changed so much, and her power is so great that it is comparable to an entire group of divine officials. And in the war, the church leaders of the three goddesses together are no match for one quicksand.
The Demon Gods of the Annihilation Plane are terrifying to the other priests, but they may only be a nuisance to the archpriests of the Eternal Dragon Temple. They were eager to take the plunge, although that meant that they would likely have to confront the demon god in the soul realm, or even directly confront his avatar or apostle. But even if you need to take a little risk, what can you do? Those who can cross the key threshold of level 18 are all determined and have a strong mentality.
Van Lin's eyes were lowered from beginning to end. The chief priests present all knew that she had a special relationship with Richard, and her attitude today was indeed very strange, so they were not in a hurry to express their position. Suddenly, there was silence in the main hall.
In the silence, Van Lin finally said, "Richard, as servants of the dragon of eternity and time, it is our duty to help the sacrificer to complete the sacrifice in accordance with the sacrifice, and we ourselves cannot sacrifice. So these sacrifices are useless to us. ”
As soon as these words came out, not only Richard, but also all the priests were stunned. What Van Lin said is naturally true, but over the years, there have been countless ways to bypass this rule, such as Van Lin being able to specify the option of the distribution of divine grace. Although there will inevitably be losses in the process, it is still possible to harvest six or seven percent of divine grace. This is a tenfold harvest compared to the normal sacrificial harvest.
Richard originally wanted to say that the sacrifice is in your hands, and whoever you want to appoint to sacrifice it will not be possible, but this sentence was swallowed hard, he was not stupid enough to say it to his face.
Fan Lin raised his hand and pointed forward, and the power of time flying around the sacrifice was divided into a lot, condensed in the air into a thick and simple book, and then said: "The Annihilation Plane Demon God currently recorded in the Eternal Dragon Hall has been recorded in this book. Richard, do you know the name of the cursed demon god?"
"It's called Iscara. Richard affirmed.
Fan Lin nodded and said, "Nolan, you can check it out." ”
Nolan got up, took the book that was floating in the air, and began to flip through it. Looking at it, her face changed slightly, and she raised her head and said, "There are currently twelve known demon gods, and Iscara is not included. ”
All the great priests were a little moved. An unknown demon god means unknown dangers, and the demon gods of the annihilation plane are extremely dangerous. They always thought that they were going to deal with one of the twelve demon gods, and for these demon gods, the Eternal Dragon Hall had recorded them, and they could arrange them in a targeted manner when the time came, which was why they knew that their opponent was the demon god of the annihilation plane, and they were still willing to give it a try.
But Iscara would actually be outside the Twelve Demon Gods, and the situation was completely different.
"Is anyone willing to try it now?" asked Van Lin.
All the high priests were silent, and Richard's heart gradually sank. He didn't expect that he would not be able to exchange ten top-level sacrifices for the help of the Eternal Dragon Palace. If even Fan Lin is not optimistic about the result this time, then it is probably useless to find someone else. Could it be that Akane can only wait for death like this?
Richard gritted his teeth and said, "I can take out twenty top-level sacrifices!"
Twenty top-tier sacrifices means at least 200 million gold coins, it means that you can arm an army that can bulldoze a wealthy family, it means that you can arm hundreds of knights in your armor, it means the savings of a legendary mage's life, and in short, it means a lot.
"Do you have one?" said Van Lin softly.
"As long as I can get it, you don't care how I got it. Richard said.
Fan Lin nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask again now, is anyone willing to try?"
The priests were silent again, and Richard had lost hope. At this moment, Nolan suddenly stood up and said, "I'm willing to try." ”
Fan Lin was a little surprised, glanced at Nolan, and said, "It's good that you know the risks." ”
Nolan looked at Richard, gritted his teeth and said, "I know very well!"
Fan Lin suddenly sighed and said, "You don't know. ”
"I'm well aware. Nolan insisted.
Van Lin said, "Do you really know it? Tell me, what is clear?"
"Pioneers always have to be sacrificed. Nolan told the truth in a single sentence.
"Do you know how many Great Priests and Legendary Mages have been sacrificed in order to get the information in this book? On average, for each Demon God, it's eleven. Speaking of this, Fan Lin raised her head, looked at Richard, and said, "You can't watch the people around you die, and in the same way, I can't let these priests participate in the mission of death." Even if they wanted to, I would stop it. Do you understand?"
"The Demon God of the Annihilation Plane, so difficult to deal with?" Richard's face was already extremely ugly. He knew that the demon god was very powerful, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful, and even the Eternal Dragon Hall was helpless.
"Once you're familiar with it, it's not that hard to deal with. But familiarity comes at a huge price, and I don't want to pay that price. The value of the priests is far higher than the sacrifice. ”
Richard nodded heavily in understanding. He didn't want Akane to die, and in the same way, he couldn't let the priests die in order to save Akane. Moreover, even if the priests were willing to go, it would not necessarily be effective.
"I'll go. Someone will have to be a pioneer, and I will not necessarily die. Nolan said for the third time, this time she seemed calm.
Fan Lin finally showed her majesty: "Don't go! If you insist, I will temporarily deprive you of the power of time." ”
Without the power of time, Nolan couldn't do anything. Before Fanlin's decision, she had no choice.
Richard looked at Fan Lin and suddenly asked, "Is it that the priests who went this time are all mortal?"
"I don't know. Van Lin's tone of reply seemed a little strange. So Richard knew what to do, and asked, "Then what should I do?"
Fan Lin stretched out her hand to outline a symbol in the air, and the power of massive time gathered and condensed into a bottle of crimson potion in the air. The flask is made of crystal, cast in Ugin in the form of a three-headed dragon, coiled around the flask, forming the base of the flask. As soon as the bottle appeared, Richard felt a scorching breath hit his face, burning his skin painfully. In the main hall, a desolate and distant roar sounded, but it was impossible to hear whether it was a dragon or a demon.
"This is the Flame Potion, made from the heart of the Abyss Flame Demon, and if you take it, your Akmund bloodline will be extremely stimulated, so that your soul will become extremely powerful in a short period of time. Even in the face of the Demon God of Annihilation, you can escape once. But after taking it, the growth of the bloodline power may affect your character and soul, you have to think about it carefully. ”
It sounds like the consequences are acceptable. But such a powerful potion could never be without consequences. Balance is the lowest law of the entire plane system, and the acquisition of any powerful power will always be accompanied by various risks. So Richard frowned and asked, "What's the worst that could be?"
"The worst possibility is that the will of the fire demon will be revived through your soul. From now on you will no longer be you, but the carrier of the will of the fire demons. Van Lin said.
"How likely is it?" asked Richard.
"Not sure, between 10 and 1/2. Before taking it, you'd better pay a visit to Lady Luck. ”
"Isn't it okay for me to have a chance to defeat Iscara?"
"There was no chance. Van Lin replied categorically.
When he walked out of the Eternal Dragon Palace, Richard's mood was even more gloomy than when he came. The potion of fire was in his arms, and the sealed box was the cost of the medicine. Ten top-tier sacrifices in exchange for a bottle of potion didn't seem like a good deal. However, Richard later learned that the main ingredient of this potion was a complete fire demon heart. And the power of the fire demon is still above the ordinary little lord, and this potion was refined by the main god of a high-level plane for hundreds of years. As a result, the main god fell in a plane war, and the potion became a trophy and was offered to the dragon of eternity and time. Then somehow, it was taken by Fan Lin.
Now Richard has a lot of responsibilities on him, and he is past the age of impulsiveness. The important reason why he decided to exchange this potion was that it would keep him from dying.
The Plane of Annihilation is a peculiar place, and it is said that all it is filled with is pure energy. Demon gods born in an extremely harsh environment are naturally the embodiment of the rules, which also makes their power far beyond that of creatures in other planes. A demon god, a great lord whose strength goes straight to hell and abyss. However, the innate power of rules also binds them firmly to the plane of annihilation, and they can only expand to other planes through their will, seeking the carrier of their own plane.
Richard did not stay in Faust and soon returned to the Green Forest. A day in Norland is eight days in the Green Forest, and if you go eight days late, you may not see Akane again. After passing through the Eternal Dragon Palace, Richard gave up the idea of summoning Asiris over. The Dark Magician's personal combat power is indeed strong, but he is a hypocrite after all, and he only borrows the power of the dark gods. When it comes to fighting against the Demon God of Annihilation, even three Aceris can't compare to one Nolan. Nolan is a great priest who can invoke the power of pure time. If Nolan is sent to death, then Asiris will not have the slightest chance.
Like Van Lin, Richard could not let his soldiers die in the air.
