Chapter 620: The Legacy Contract
After some politeness, the Elven Sage finally said what he meant, although Siegel had already used the power of the prophetic priesthood to see it clearly.
"Your Excellency, the new god of magic, on behalf of the gods, I hope that you will be able to fulfill your previous promise. The items left behind by the creator god are valuable assets belonging to this world, and no god is allowed to hold and study them privately. ”
"Before I became a god of magic, the dice were mine, that's very clear. You don't have any reason for me to give up my own stuff. The last person to do so was Riele, who had been completely erased. Maybe you've forgotten who he is? I have a clone of him here, and I might be able to help you remember. ”
The Elven Sage didn't seem to hear Siegel's threat, and said with an unchanged expression, "All the gods have made this pact under the Styx Oath, and those who turn their backs will suffer the price of destruction. Siegel, don't take this risk, it's not good at all. ”
"I didn't expect you to use the Styx Oath to bind yourself. Siegel rubbed his chin and couldn't help but face up to the seriousness of the matter. The Styx Oath is a very mysterious force in the multiverse, a constraint on the gods. The price of breaking the oath is the loss of Godhead, five thousand years in hell as a mortal, imprisoned, tormented, and physically immortal - unless sanity collapses first.
Mortals cannot make the Styx Oath because they are not strong enough to attract the attention of Styx. The most annoying thing about this oath is that it moves with the divine fire (it is all sworn by the gods), which means that when Siegel became a magic god, he also inherited the power of the oath left by his predecessor.
"You have just become a magic god now, and the fusion of divine fire is not yet complete. So the power of Styx has not yet arrived. But it will come one day. The Elven Sage persuaded.
"I see. Thanks for the reminder. Anything else?"
"There is one more thing, although it is not bound by the Styx Oath, but it represents the common will of the various gods. All research on dice is shared, which means that you need to place the dice in a place known to the gods, such as the Dice Cup Prison. ”
The Dice Cup Prison is where the ten-sided dice are held, and the blood of the Mother Earth Sage stains the ground in front of the entrance. "It can't be. Siegel said, "Even if I don't carry the dice anymore, the dice won't leave my family." Don't think about it, it won't go into the dice cup prison. In fact. That prison should also be abolished. As one of the heroes who protected the world of the Thunder Wall from being swallowed by the Storm of Destruction, it is very unconscionable for you to hold him in this way. ”
He is also the destroyer of another world, responsible for the death of a billion people. Until now, there are still nearly 20 million dead souls staying in this world, and if it weren't for the Grim Reaper's efforts to contain them, the orcs, dwarves, elves, and you humans would all suffer a catastrophe after the resentful spirits go south. ”
"Don't be so innocent, a lot of things are man-made. "Siegel was able to find allies in a place as treacherous as the Academy of Magic, and use the power of others to achieve his goals. But the gods can't make peace with the dice holders? The fundamental point is that the gods are high up and see the world as their own. Everything in the world is also its own, and being too lazy to reason with the mortals living in the world will only convey the will.
When confronted with someone or something that is unacceptable, God suddenly becomes thin-skinned and feels insulted and belittled. There must be part of the reason why the divine fire amplifies emotions, and the other is not because the god is too far away from the main material realm, resulting in the loss of mortal nature, or ordinary mind.
"This is a ruined world that can be swallowed up by a storm of destruction at any moment, and it would be unwise to devote too much energy here. The Elven Sage said, "In the Outlands, you need friends, and gaining the friendship of the gods is a very important step. ”
"What, God's friendship? For as long as I can remember, my prayers have never been answered. Of course, this also depends on your good execution of the Styx Pact. Without your help, I have been a mortal to a god, do you think I still need to pray to you now?Joke, I will have a good time! Anyone who tries to make my life bad will not be able to get by!" Siegel noticed that his emotions began to fluctuate violently again under the influence of the divine fire, so he hurriedly closed his mouth and took a few sips of water to take a pause.
"Besides, it's unwise to keep your energy here, why don't you tell your elven people that the gods are leaving, and the mortals of the flesh are still here to breathe?"
The corners of the Elven Sage's mouth twitched, but he didn't answer the question.
"By the way, the magic priesthood has been restored, so let's change the name of the Art Academy. If magic were an art, I would say that art is a kind of magic that affects emotions. This strategy of blurring the concept continues, and it will not do the elven god any good. It is no longer possible for him to attract the priesthood and the divine fire from me, at most he will only attract hostility to himself. ”
As soon as the Elven Sage was about to speak, Siegel waved his hand to stop him. "I know what you're going to say, and I don't want to hear your reasons. You are a saint and cannot be the Lord, so you just need to give my message to those who can be the masters. Do you think I'm going to listen to you? ”
Siegel pointed to Elf Lea, who was a little pale and tired, but generally healthy. Siegel can see the future with prophecy, but he is not a recorder and will not know everything that happened in the past. It seemed that the elves were not in the mood to speak now, so Siegel turned his gaze to the Sage, asking him what had happened.
"Repeatedly violated military orders, and recently leaked the elves' confidential information to outsiders, that is, you. The Elven Sage said, "So she was charged with treason and tried in the tribunal." The worst punishment for an elf is banishment. Leah was sentenced to five hundred years of banishment, but the execution had not yet begun. ”
"That's it?" Siegel snorted coldly, "Master, don't go back this time, the Elven Forest is no longer a suitable place to live for a long time." It's all because of me, and you've been made so hard to take care of me, and I'll get justice for you!"
Elf Leah shook her head, "Siegel, there's no need. Ever since my father died, I haven't been very happy in the Elven Forest. There is nothing wrong with the tribunal's sentencing this time, and I am willing to plead guilty to this crime, and there is no sense of unfairness. Justice is already here, and there's nothing to get back. ”
Siegel said to the Elven Sage: "Do you hear, because of the master's words, the elven clan has at least a few thousand more people alive! At least my master didn't wander around and settled in Heim. ”
"Actually......" The Elven Sage hesitated for a moment, but still spoke: "Originally, it also included cutting off a hand, but I removed this punishment and did not carry it out. ”
"Actually, it's good to cut it down, so that I can use cloning to repair it, and then rightly set foot in the elven forest. ”
"God is not directly involved in mortal affairs. ”
"Don't fool me with that. You just sit in front of me, and you still say that you won't directly participate?" Siegel said to the Elven Sage: "I am different from you, I can bring all the power of the Divine Fire to this world, and even bring the Divine Kingdom down, and the crystal wall barrier is too late to stop it. On the contrary, you can only send the Sage at most. In the event of conflict, the best outcome for you is to be expelled from this world. There is nothing left of your temple, your priests, and your faithful base. Tell your master, and the other gods, that times have changed. ”
"This doesn't fit ......"
Before he could finish his sentence, Siegel flicked his fingers and teleported the Elven Sage out of Heim Territory. He said to the elven master: "Actually, I know that he has good intentions, and he has helped me a lot before. However, you need to show a certain attitude now, otherwise there may be more trouble in the future. Siegel paused, scratched his head, and said, "I'm sorry to get you caught up in these things." ”
"The war is over, that's what I thought, that's why I'll help you. As for before, it was your means that were more sophisticated. But for some elves, the end of the war was slower. Leah threw her head back and lay lazily in her chair. "Actually, I'd rather go to Sir Bill, do you know how he's doing?"
"He's in the Kingdom of the Stars, married, and currently runs a county. Siegel was a little strange: "Don't you know about him?"
"He's always only written to Elinte, and now I might add you, and I'll only be told at best. Elf Leah didn't seem very interested, stood up and shook her head, and said to Siegel, "Can you prepare a room for me, I'll stay here first, and think about whether I should go to him or not." ”
Siegel was tempted to ask why he didn't stay in Heim Territory, but I'm afraid she wouldn't answer. Janet would take her to the room she had cleaned up a few days ago, or at least it was a peaceful, peaceful place, away from the maelstrom of the elven world.
The Elven Sage seemed to be different from the other Sages, and seemed to be more zealous. But this is not a characteristic of the elven race, and it is the norm to be arrogant, indifferent, and unkind to outsiders. Friendship is only shown between comrades-in-arms, and it takes at least a long time to understand each other. What was the meaning of the Elven Sage's actions? Siegel couldn't figure it out.
However, the Styx Oath is indeed a troublesome matter, and only a fool would fight it, let alone fool it from outside the contract. Siegel found the details of the contract with Styx from Shenhuo, and then had an idea.
If Riele gave up his divine powers and studied the hundred-faced dice as a mortal, this matter would not cause a reaction from the contract, then he also had a way to do something similar. It is the god of magic, knowledge, and prophecy who makes the contract, and the easiest way to do this is to become the god of magic and knowledge, and thus free yourself from the bondage of the contract.
As soon as this thought came to him, it made him feel uncomfortable all over, and he knew that it was the hands and feet of the divine fire. "If it can't be done according to my wishes, then what's the difference between becoming a god and dying?" Siegel regarded this incident as a contest between himself and Shenhuo, and he could only win and not lose.
He snapped his fingers and teleported himself to Chanem. (To be continued.) )
