Chapter 23 Equality with the gods
"Ludris, the god of war, also has a son of the gods. Richard said.
"When I was in power, I heard that the Church of the God of War was working on some secret project, similar to our Black Valley Project. ”
Richard pondered for a moment and asked, "What other gods have similar plans?"
Ptolemy frowned, bitterly recalling: "There must be a god of time, Xerxes...... I've heard that there is, but I'm not sure. ”
Richard frowned and said, "It's these four gods again......"
His tone made Ptolemy look sideways, and he looked at Richard strangely. As a former pope, Ptolemy had a different pair of eyes, and the radiance of Richard's divine favor was very bright in his eyes. Such a person, even if he had a divine war with the gods, should not speak in such a tone. This is an insult to all the gods of Faro. But Richard did it very naturally, but it made Ptolemy's heart move, and he and Bruno quietly exchanged a look.
Richard turned to Quicksand and said, "Maybe we're in big trouble." ”
"It's not a war with all of Faro, it's just four gods. And we still have time, don't we?" said Quicksand, nonchalantly.
Richard's heart calmed down a lot.
"Let me think again. After Richard finished speaking, he fell into deep thought, pacing slowly around the room.
Quicksand was quiet and knew it was a pretty big decision, so he left Richard to think for himself. After walking for I don't know how many laps, Richard suddenly stopped and said, "I'm afraid I'll see a lot of Faro in the future." ”
Quicksand said with a smile: "You should have come more." So what about here?"
Richard said heavily: "Dig, take everything you can, take him away, don't care so much, secretly cultivate gods in the land of divine punishment, I don't believe that Nei'an dares to make everyone know about it." ”
Bruno, Ptolemy, and several other old men of their age were shaken by the conversation between Richard and Quicksand, and Ptolemy coughed and said, "I'm sorry, but I have to warn you that if you take away the thing that formed the source of this black valley, it will be an irresolvable feud with the god of courage." I don't know what that thing is, but one thing is for sure is that it's definitely on top of the Seven Artifacts forged by the God of Courage. ”
"Why?" asked Richard.
"Because I used to be the Pope and had the right to use the Seven Divine Weapons, but I didn't even know what was hidden in the Black Valley. ”
Richard smiled and said, "Okay, I'll dig deeper." ”
"This ......" Ptolemy did not know what to say.
"Do you have anything else to do with these prisoners, for example, to bring them back to their senses, or whatever......" Richard paused before he said, "just so that I don't kill them." ”
Bruno and Ptolemy looked at each other, and then Bruno said, "There is no way, at least we can't think of it." If it were those who were true religious prisoners, they would still be able to resist the erosion of the gods for a while on their own, but most of the people in this valley were ordinary people now...... Even if we have been able to stay awake until now, most of it is not because of our own ability, but because the gods want to keep a few playthings. It also needs to be fun. ”
Richard nodded, but didn't say anything. At this time, Nayu walked in, she didn't say anything, just shook her head.
"Then leave them here?" asked Richard, holding on to the last glimmer of hope.
Nai Yu didn't answer and asked: "You must have seen a lot of zombies in the half-plane, that is, the kind of body that hides a lot of fragments of gods." ”
Richard's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "Yes." Is it ......?"
"That's right, if you leave them alone, you'll see a lot of those zombies here in a week's time, more than 23,000 to be exact. They weren't going to stay in the Black Valley. Nayu's voice was flat.
"Well, I see. Richard frowned, and subconsciously moved his fingers a few times.
"No, let your little brood do that, it's good at it. Those worker bees can also kill people if necessary. Nayou said.
"......" Richard did not answer immediately.
At this time, the voice of the brood sounded in Richard's consciousness: "Master, don't worry. No matter how hungry I am, I will never touch those things. They're all unnutritious garbage to me. ”
Richard breathed a sigh of relief and replied in his consciousness, "...... So, let's get started. ”
"No problem, I promise you won't miss one. But that half of the wings in your hand are reserved for me, aren't they?"
"Of course. ”
At this moment, the fastest split-brain is already on the way to the Black Valley, and this thing is not so much a split-brain, but a thing that flies fast enough. It has three times the speed of other brains, but only one-tenth of the computing power, and is more intelligent than elite combat units, and stronger than Star Chrysalis, but that's it. The anxiety of the brood was evident in the dispatch of this thing, and it could not wait to taste the half of the wings in Richard's hand.
Suddenly there was an exclamation from outside the wooden house: "What is that!"
Bruno and Ptolemy were by the window, and they happened to see a giant insect two meters long outside the window piercing through the clouds and falling to the ground. It's an apocalyptic sight too!
Compared to the overwhelming swarm, the dozen or so people inside and outside the hut seemed so vulnerable.
Richard also glanced out the window, equally surprised. The brood sent nearly 10,000 worker bees! Whatever it is, when the number reaches a certain level, the visual impact is incomparable.
Richard glanced at the Hall of Pain and gave an order in his mind: "Dismantle that thing for me first!"
The black bricks used to build the Temple of Pain are all filled with the power of darkness and pain, and they are also quite valuable magical materials in Norland, and they are very valuable. Since Richard had already planned to dig up everything under the Black Valley and take it away, he naturally wouldn't be polite.
Countless worker bees flew up and pounced on the hall of pain, and they immediately showed a shocking side, and began to disassemble brick by brick like a skilled craftsman. Their massive jaws and blades are so delicate that they rarely even leave a notch on the bricks when they are removed.
Assigned the task of completing the bee, Richard said to Bruno and Ptolemy: "You ...... now Oh, what are you going to do with your faith?"
Ptolemy smiled bitterly and said, "Where is faith in those who have been cast into the Black Valley? I was once a fanatic believer in Inner Security, but he abandoned me. ”
Bruno looked at Richard and said, "Tell me, what do you want us to do? ”
Richard pondered for a moment, and while pondering, he said: "I hope to be able to have a systematic and comprehensive study of the divine system of Faro, and the perspective of the study should not be believers or hypocrites, but a completely neutral and equal perspective, and we can even imagine looking down on the gods." ”
"This is an unprecedented blasphemy!" Bruno's breathing became heavy.
He studied the path of the god of courage to godhood, and his greatest wish was to push Nei'an off the altar and replace him with a new god. Godhead and priesthood are relatively fixed, and if a god of courage falls, his priesthood will be inherited by a new god, or it will be held by another god, and there will be no god of courage from now on. Strictly speaking, Bruno is still acting within the framework of the large plane order, and Richard's move has the implication of fighting against the entire plane god system.
Richard knew exactly what Bruno meant, and said, "Blasphemy, perhaps." But I don't think there's anything wrong with blaspheming a god who cultivates iniquity in private. Such a guy should have left that high throne a long time ago. ”
Bruno stared at Richard and said, "But you can't overthrow him!
"Not necessarily!" Richard said with a smile, then threw out his bait, "If you agree to help me, then I can show you a book, a general textbook on how to become a god." Our research can start here. ”
"A universal textbook for the gods!" could not have been more shocking to people like Bruno and Ptolemy. Is it no longer that the knowledge of the realm of the gods is mysterious and majestic, and must not be touched by ordinary people?
"Can you tell us what your purpose is in researching this?" asked Bruno.
"Quite simply, my ultimate goal is to reconstruct the entire Faro's Divine Order system, of course, it seems like it's just a madman's fantasy now, isn't it? Richard smiled.
"It sounds like we're trading our souls with the devil in hell. An old man muttered.
Richard laughed and said, "I am not all the way with the devil, I can guarantee this!"
Richard's words were unequivocal. Akmund is the demonic bloodline of the abyss, and he is indeed at odds with the devil.
Bruno and Ptolemy finally nodded slowly and said, "We just want to inquire about the real world." ”
Richard smiled and opened his arms, "Then your choice is the right one." When you let go of your faith, you will find that faith is just a veil that covers your eyes. ”
What Richard said is another famous quote that was once popular in Norland. It was the time when the Dragons of Eternity and Time had just arisen and the believers had used to fight back against the words of the common gods. Following the Dragons of Eternity and Time, one after another gods with interdimensional powers have been discovered and worshipped. They also divided the faith of the gods of their own plane.
The battle priest shrugged his shoulders innorantly and muttered in a low voice, "There is one more sentence at the end, he didn't say it all." ”
Nayu's head tilted slightly towards Io, and he also whispered, "You're awkward again." ”
The battle priest said angrily, "Why am I awkward?"
