Chapter 65 Departure
The letter continues.
"You have your protection, I have my persistence, and in order to get what we each want, we must pay the corresponding price. We all understand this truth, and we are all willing to pay the price for it. Yes, all the efforts are made by us. Even if we put all the gold coins in the world together, it will be difficult to exchange our willingness, will it?
Now, it's time for me to leave you. I'll be going to the Dark Lands to develop my faith, and Iyu and Io will be with me, so it's likely that you won't have the help of the Eternal Dragon Temple Priest for years to come. But it was still very important to find a way to get the help of the Dragon Hall Priest. In Faro, the priests of the three goddesses, though of little use, are better than nothing. Perhaps in the future, the three goddesses will personally serve you, as long as you find a way to keep them firmly bound. This was supposed to be what I was going to do, but now I can't help you.
The last thing I can do for you is to elevate your title to 'Plane Rambler'. This title allows you to have more Divine Grace options and pay less Divine Grace. In popular parlance, it is an eight-percent discount. In addition, there is another Jianyì, which is to value eternity and the dragon of time, but do not rely on it. Never think that sacrifice is a harvest, on the contrary, we are giving. In contrast, the mother nest is more reliable.
Alright, it's time for me to go. By the time you read this letter, I was already on my way to the Dark Lands.
Don't come to me.
I know you like to do stupid things, but you also know that I never lie. Well, if you must insist, then don't come to me until you can bring down the Pope of the Holy Tree Dynasty.
Goodbye, my Richard. β
The style of this letter is the style that quicksand has always had, and it is straightforward. When he read the letter, Richard seemed to be listening to her. When the letter was put down, he also felt a trance in his heart, feeling as if the letter was playing a joke on him.
Are you kidding?
Richard shook his head vigorously, and then looked at the letter more carefully, and realized that he was not mistaken. He sat in silence for a moment before stepping out of the study. The mountains and the sea were leaning against the wall of the hallway, waiting for him. At this time, the girl had changed into a Norland lady hunting suit, but her unique temperament could not be changed by her image and clothes.
"Something's wrong?"
Richard smiled reluctantly and said, "A friend left suddenly. I need to check right away. β
"I'll go with you!" said the mountain and the sea, then looked at Richard, and added, "I'll wait for you outside." β
Richard nodded, and left the floating island with the girl, hurrying towards the Eternal Dragon Palace.
Both the priests and the guards of the Eternal Dragon Hall knew Richard, and a person who was able to perform several top-level sacrifices in just one year was not so easy to forget. So no matter who he met, he was very polite to Richard.
Grand Priest Nolan came out to greet him and said to Richard: "You have come just in time, Grand Priest Van Lin wants to see you, you can come with me!"
On the way to Van Lin's residence, Nolan whispered to Richard, "After meeting Grand Priest Van Lin, you come to me again, I have something to say to you." β
Richard nodded, and entered Van Lin's temple. The place where Van Lin lives is always so simple, so simple that it makes people a little uncomfortable. She sat Richard down and asked, "Have you read the letter that quicksand gave you?"
"What kind of place is the Dark Lands?" asked Richard straight to the point.
Fan Lin sighed and said, "You want to go to her so soon? It seems that you really have a heart on quicksand. But now...... It's too late to say anything. Quicksand should have entered the Dark Realm, and once that place is in, there is no going back. Even if she doesn't leave, you can't keep her. This is...... Her destined fate. β
"What kind of place is the Dark Lands?" Richard was indeed very stubborn at times.
Fan Lin did not answer immediately, but waved her hand and sprinkled a pale golden sand, and the power of time transformed into a gorgeous world, but she saw that in a void, it was decorated with countless stars like diamonds. They are some bright, some dim, in all kinds of colors, and the old stars are constantly dying and new ones are being born.
"Every star you see is a world, a world made up of planes large and small. β
Fan Lin's hand moved again, and a small part of the stars dimmed, leaving only a group of stars in the center, forming a star cluster. And there are some particularly bright stars in it.
"These stars, which we can see now, are the worlds where the divine light of the dragon of eternity and time shines. The bleak ones on the edge are worlds that are not yet fully in the hands of the dragons of eternity and time, but the power of time is beginning to influence them. And where we can't see, there are countless stars, and there, collectively known as the Dark Regions. β
Richard couldn't help but gasp, and only then did he understand what the dark region meant.
"Why is Quicksand going to the Dark Regions?"
"She is a divine servant, and it is naturally her destiny to open up dark regions, just like me. Of course, we can also disagree with this fate, Eternity and the Dragon of Time do not like to be forced. But this is the most important way to get the grace, and she needs the grace lately, and she needs a lot of grace, and this is the only way to meet her needs. β
Van Lin's voice was empty and distant, echoing through the hall, as if it were speaking to Richard from a thousand years away.
Divine grace, and divine grace. On more than one occasion, Van Lin had already told Richard that he needed divine grace to cross the quicksand, and Richard was indeed doing his best to collect sacrifices. But quicksand still went to the dark region.
In the dark realm, there is no direction, no coordinates, no teleportation, and no time channel. Richard didn't know where Quicksand had gone, and now he wanted to go, but he couldn't find it. The only way he could think of was to explore the dark region after reaching the legendary realm, hoping to encounter quicksand one day. However, anyone with even a modicum of sanity will understand how little hope there is for doing so.
"Why does she need so much divine grace?"
Fan Lin showed a faint smile and said, "Every Divine Favor will need a lot of divine grace, because they will always encounter this or that situation where they have no choice. And they are often willing to pay a huge price for their choices, even if the price is simply not something they can afford. β
"And what is the choice of quicksand?"
Fan Lin shook her head and said, "I have no way to sue you for this. Even if I want to say, you can't hear it. You should know that in God's realm, there are some things that cannot be spoken. β
Richard looked at Fanlin's expression, thoughtful, and then asked in a different way: "Then I always have a way to know, right? What kind of conditions are needed?"
This time, Fan Lin replied very simply: "When you can suppress the law of time here, I can sue you." β
In the Eternal Dragon Palace, suppressing the laws of time of the dragon of eternity and time? Richard would rather not know such conditions for a while.
However, Richard suddenly remembered the moment when he climbed the snowy mountain in Carlando, and when he looked at the snowy peaks in the distance, he also felt that he did not know when he would be able to stand on the top of the snowy mountain. But in the end, he managed to win the festival battle.
No matter how far the road is, as long as you are willing to walk, you can always finish it.
"I see, I'll have to ask for more guidance in the future. Richard said it sincerely and sincerely, and Van Lin understood the meaning of his words, so she smiled and said, "I don't need your divine grace, and I have no power to help you." If you want more help, you can talk to Nolan and Xi Ju, they are not gods, and I can't control what they want to do. β
Richard also understood what Van Lin meant.
As he left Van Lin's main hall, Richard saw Nolan waiting outside, so he greeted him. Nolan greeted him and led him to the back of the Dragon Palace, where quiet courtyards were built where high-ranking priests lived.
Nolan's exterior is neat and elegant, but it has a luxury that is rare for other priests. She brought Richard a cup of black tea in a tea set made of pure gold, and then said, "Richard, we have had a very good time working together in the past. In the past year or so, the trading volume between you and me has exceeded 20 million gold coins. You should know that I have gained a lot from such a trade. β
Richard smiled, "But the price you gave was also fair, even higher than the market price." β
"But the amount you have supplied me is enormous, and it contains many rare minerals. You know, in a plane war, how many such rare minerals are not enough. So no matter how much I buy, I can sell it. With such a huge amount of trading, even if the profit margin is a little smaller, the amount of gold earned in the end is very large. β
Of course, Richard understood such a simple truth. He waited quietly for Nolan's next words, and if she wanted to thank herself, she would not rely on such a cup of black tea. His kingdom in the Faro plane has been on the right track, and a large number of minerals are pouring into Norland, and such a huge and stable supply of goods is enough to make some giants look sideways. Not only one big man, but also the prince, asked Richard about the price of minerals, and offered even more favorable terms than Nolan.
Nolan pondered her words, and it was clear that she was very attentive to what she was going to say. She looked at Richard and said slowly, "His Highness Quicksand has gone to the Dark Region, and now here in the Eternal Dragon Palace, except for His Highness Fan Lin, perhaps only the two of us have the closest relationship. I think you need strength right now, and I need you too. So I think the cooperation between us can be more in-depth. β
Richard's face was faint, and he couldn't see a special expression, but said, "How to cooperate, let's listen to it." β
