Chapter 489: The Chosen One

There are many reasons why Rahlo uses the method of "entering the dream world" to communicate with Egg, but the core one is that it is much simpler and more environmentally friendly than possession dialogue and real body descent, which can save valuable magic power to the maximum and accumulate strength for the next long sleep and the fight against the power of demons.

In principle, "energy saving" usually corresponds to "small movement", and in fact it is true - Iger slept this night, whether he and the dream visitor were fighting or talking in the subconsciously constructed world, moving mountains and seas or confiding in the shocking truth, it did not have the slightest impact on the world outside the consciousness, and only in the end, the goddess "cast a piece of her own scales" in the real world, this operation in the real world, inevitably caused some movement, resulting in some energy consumption and breath leakage.

For that god-like being, this was just a flick of a finger to wake up Egg, but for the other transcendent beings who lived in Houguan Town, the Land Gift, Westeros, and even the entire world of ice and fire, it was a shocking miracle, especially for the believers.

The half-dragon scales fell from the sky with half of the master's strength, fell into the core building of the inner fort of Houguan Town, and at the moment when it smashed through the roof and penetrated the quilt into Egg's body, it performed a "spell brake" in order not to hurt the recipient, and instantly reduced its speed from the meteorite to zero. This simple but incredibly subtle display and demonstration, at the moment when it happened to consume its own kinetic energy, not only released a considerable amount of heat and almost caused a fire, but also led to a breath explosion. Although it was only for a short moment, it was not worth mentioning in terms of energy intensity, but the monstrous divine power released was as pure as a fake, enough to make the nearby spellcasters scare or get excited to pee - as loyal believers, the two high-ranking priests of the Red God were naturally the latter.

Melisandre and Marchiro put down everything in their hands and rushed to the point of the incident the moment they sensed the breath, wanting to determine what their faith in Allah meant to send down this unprecedented miracle, and hurried to the bottom of this building with the feeling of residual Rahlo's breath, and just stepped on the stairs when they met the person Egg, and was about to ask what happened, but the moment they looked up at each other, they found the changes that had occurred in him, and the two groups of people stood on the spot, looking at each other stunned, and no one spoke first for a long time.

Looking at the ghostly expressions on the faces of the two high-ranking priests, Egg knew that they were most likely aware of something unusual. Just as he was thinking about how to announce the news, the good fox pretended to be a tiger and pretended to make them obey and obey his orders, and in an instant he laughed at himself dumbly: Why should he pretend? Why should he think about this because he is a god spokesman and not a fake?

He doesn't need to pretend to be skilled at all, just be himself normally.

Iger gave up his embellishment, stood on the stairs, smiled down at the two red-robed priests who were looking up at him from a low place as they were about to go upstairs, and spoke first: "Lady Lahero has sent down an oracle to choose me as her spokesperson on earth, for her next grand goal...... Coordinate and manage the power of the believers in the mortal world. ”

The two red-robed priests breathed a sigh of relief with a visible gesture - Egg couldn't even detect how obvious and strong the aura was on his body, so he couldn't guess: even if he said that he was Rahlo, the two believers in front of him would really believe it.

"Ma'am?" Melisandre glared at Egger as she caught the details of his words, "Have you seen the specific image of my lord?

Uh, Egger was dumbfounded, it wasn't that he was tender or stupid enough to leak important information with one mouth—but he didn't expect that even the most powerful followers of the Red God had never seen any specific image of her.

If you think about it carefully, this should be a means of maintaining a sense of mystery and power, but it's a pity that it has been ruined by a word from yourself now. Iger was a little annoyed, but luckily it was just a small mistake, and it wasn't a stab, after all—Rahlo herself hadn't said that she wasn't allowed to reveal her gender!

"Well, she did appear to me as a lady. "Wrong is wrong," Iger nodded blankly and pretended nothing was happening, "but I don't think gender should be the focus of our discussions, whether she is male or female, she will always be the god of the heart of the flame, the shadow and the fire, one of the only true gods in the world that we all believe in, right?" ”

The two red-robed priests looked at each other, and they both saw mixed emotions in each other's eyes.

Both of them are hardcore believers who have served Rakhlo loyally for dozens or hundreds of years, but they have never seen some vague and fragmented pictures and prophecies from the fire, and they have never even seen half of the corners of the Lord of Light's clothes, and this powerless mortal in front of them can actually let their Lord come down to meet them in person!

What can he do?

"I agree. Marchiro turned his head, suppressing his jealousy and reluctance to stare at Egger's face, as if to find a sign that he was lying, "Now the point is, what kind of oracle has my lord, what is his grand new purpose, and what do we need to do about it?"

Iger didn't expect to bump into the red-robed priest when he went out, because he didn't prepare a draft at all, and instead of rushing to answer and revealing important information with one mouth like he had just done, he decided that he would rather answer slowly, and go through it in his head before saying it.

After smiling in slow motion, and his mind racing around for a while, Egger had a rough idea.

He spoke slowly, uttering word for word, "Lady Laherlo has witnessed the hardships of fighting the Strangers on our own without the support of the Kingdom, so she is determined to change the terrible status quo of the human world, where factions and wars with each other, to ensure that the defense of the Great Wall can be supported by the forces of the entire human world in the next resurgence of her old enemy. ”

And to achieve this goal, she asks all believers in the world to give all their strength to the great war that I am about to support—the great war in which the queen will go south to unify the seven kingdoms and rebuild the fortress of freedom. Iger looked at the priest, "Lord Machiro, I want you to return to the Temple of the High Red in Valantis and inform the other priests of this important news. He then turned to Melisandre: "As for you, stay with me for the time being, and give me advice and any other help I need as you normally would." Any other questions?"

Both of the high-ranking priests were a little unaccustomed to the strange situation of being commanded by a mortal, but the aura of Rahlo on the other party was so clear and unmistakable, and after a little hesitation, they quickly made a decision, bowed and gave a positive response: "Do what I want." ”

It's as simple as that?

Looking at the back of the big red-robed monk who turned away without hesitation to prepare for his trip, and then at the appearance of Melisandre also standing deferentially in place as if she was going to wait for him to pass before following him, Egg raised his eyebrows in surprise: Machiro's serious staring made him worry a moment ago, what to do if the Red God Priests questioned or resisted his identity, you know, although he was a genuine Chosen One, he actually didn't know the slightest spell, and Rahlo didn't give him any reverse communication, report the situation, or ask for help. Means and channels for small reports.

Looking at the priestess with whom he knew and was close to him, he did not suppress his curiosity: "Melisandre, I have a question—you don't doubt the truth of my chosen one?"

"Not at all. Without thinking, the priestess replied, "You should know that we are with the Lord through fire...... No, Ms. Lahllo communicates. No matter how powerful a priest is, it is impossible to get a response every time he looks into the fire, but even if it is a blank space, we will always have a clear sense of the Lord's presence, with few interruptions. She paused, "But, after the Battle of Long Lake, Machiro and I had the same problem: we could no longer sense the Lord's presence when we performed any prayers and fire sacrifices—not without an answer, but at all. ”

As it turned out, for the most part, Rahlo remained online, and countless believers communicated with her in fragments, but there was little response from the latter's recuperation. However, after successfully scaring the cold god back to the land of eternal winter and alleviating the crisis, the goddess in a weakened state did not want to be harassed by the believers anymore, so she simply cut off the connection - offline.

It's really capricious, but for a fierce god who even sacrifices his heirs in batches, "ignoring it" is really a very gentle attitude.

Egger's heart was bright, but he was afraid that he would say too much, so he only continued to look at the red-robed woman, waiting for the following: "And then?"

"We had planned to return to Valantis in the near future to find out together why our Lord no longer answered prayers, but this morning, when you met Lady Rahlo, we all saw the same image in the flames – your face. She glanced at Egg meaningfully, "It's extremely rare for two priests to see the same picture at the same time, at least I've never encountered it. Although I have not yet communicated with the other priests, I have reason to believe that this is not only true of me and Macchiro, but also Beneiro and Kinvara...... All the high priests who serve Lady Lahlo as much as I do should be the same. Now it seems that she is officially announcing the decision to choose you as the spokesperson in this form!"

Egger was slightly surprised, and then the corners of his mouth raised slightly: although he did not appreciate what Lahlo had done in the past, and also felt that the other party's advance payment was too shabby and stingy, but putting aside his moral judgment and personal perception, he had to admit that this goddess who had never been seen before or after was quite thoughtful and exquisite.

"Why, didn't Lady Laherlo explain this to you?"

Melisandre was eager to get the details of her meeting with Lahllo, but she didn't dare ask. Iger saw this, but he knew better that even as the Chosen One had to walk on thin ice and carefully maintain his mystique in order to secure his position and control and deter the Followers of the Red God with extraordinary powers, he had most likely gone to sleep and received no more support and help from him. And the first and most likely meeting between himself and Lachlo will be the only one, and it will be his biggest reliance and secret for the rest of his life.

"Let's talk about it when we have to. Now, come with me. ”

Undeterred by this little episode, Egger decided to go to the stable to see what the little bit of true dragon might that he carried on the scales on his chest had an effect on the animals.
