It was completely dawn.

Pale golden light filtered in from behind the long curtains, casting deep and shallow geometric shapes on the floor in front of the study's long floor-to-ceiling windows.

Richard's heart was relieved, and he suddenly felt that his eyes were sore and painful, and two lines of tears flowed. The handwriting left by Bai Ye was also full of a cold murderous aura, and after looking at it for a long time, his eyes couldn't bear it at first.

Richard closed his eyes, sat cross-legged on the spot, rested for a while, and suddenly felt as if there was something more in the room. He suddenly looked back and saw the huge box in the center of the room, and couldn't help but be surprised. But Richard thought about it, and only in the white night could he enter and exit the floating island so silently.

The floating island of Akmund is in the style of a war fortress, but with the exception of a twenty-meter-tall tower, there are no anti-aircraft defenses such as magical barriers. However, this floating island is still bathed in the divine grace of the dragon of eternity and time, and except for the people of the Eternal Dragon Temple, no one with malicious and murderous intentions can enter and exit from the sky without warning.

Richard was a little curious about what White Night had brought, and when he opened the box, he immediately gasped!

The box was actually a space piece of equipment, and inside it was the head of a strange beast, a large organ that was still wriggling tenaciously, resembling the heart of some kind of creature, and a small statue of a god carved with a strange appearance.

Richard knew at a glance that these three were not only sacrifices, but the highest sacrifices! Each one was worth more than the head of a great devil.

If these three sacrifices were to be exchanged for huàn gold coins, they would be worth at least 30 million. And having a top-level sacrifice is equivalent to having a hope, and no one will exchange it for gold coins.

But when he saw the sacrifice, Richard smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly. This white night, but still refuses to owe him favors. Richard knew very well that even with the power of the white night, if he wanted to get these three sacrifices, he must have had the experience of nine deaths and a lifetime. It can be seen that she is so desperate to die for life.

Richard closed the box, thought about it, and simply invited the four dragon palace knights guarding the floating island to help carry the box to the eternal dragon hall. Hearing that the box contained the sacrifices prepared for today's sacrifice, the four knights agreed without saying a word. Richard was a little relieved.

Thinking about it, no one in Faust has dared to rob the things escorted by the knights of the Dragon Palace, which is equivalent to directly opposing the Eternal Dragon Palace. And under the divine power of Grand Priest Fanlin to go back in time, no one would think that they would be able to conceal the conspiracy.

Three top-level sacrifices, even Richard was nervous.

An hour later, Richard finally stepped into the Eternal Dragon Palace, and a hanging heart was finally put down. He wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead, and let out a long breath. When Richard could exhaust tens of millions of magic materials for his life, he thought he was no longer interested in money. But the nervousness along the way made Richard understand that he just didn't take the millions in his eyes, and the tens of millions were still nervous to death.

It was Grand Priest Nolan who greeted her, and she smiled and said to Richard, "Richard, come with me, Grand Priest Van Lin is waiting for you behind!"

On the way, Nolan told Richard that all the Faro minerals and specialties he brought back this time had been counted and estimated, with a total value of 3.5 million gold coins, and then asked how to convert and pay for them, whether it was gold coins or magic crystals.

"Magic Crystal. "Richard is now heavily lacking magic crystals.

"This time, your sacrifice will be presided over by Grand Priest Van Lin himself, what a rare opportunity!" Nolan said with a smile.

In recent years, even the top sacrificial rites have rarely come forward to preside over them, and a great priest of Nolan's level is enough.

With a ceremony presided over by Van Lin, the sacrificer has a much better chance of receiving the divine grace he needs. In rare cases, Van Lin may even be able to intervene in the Sacrificial Grace option, which is the prerogative of the Celestial and Time Dragons. It's just that behind this brilliance, few people pay attention to the price they pay, and the nobles only calculate how much they need to pay to impress the gods.

"Archpriest Van Lin, why not quicksand?" Richard was surprised. Presiding over the sacrifice can share in the divine grace, and quicksand is in need of divine grace.

With a clear expression, Nolan said, "Quicksand has some key matters to deal with in the past two days. Don't worry, with Grand Priest Fan Lin personally presiding over the sacrifice, it shouldn't be a problem for you to have any needs. ”

Richard frowned slightly and accepted the arrangement.

In an empty apse of the Dragon Palace, Richard saw Van Lin again. The beauty of the Grand Priest is a blend of maturity and purity, with a depth that penetrates time. Seeing each other again, perhaps because of the extra relaxed mood this time, or because of the promotion of the wisdom level, Richard felt the beauty of Fan Lin more strongly than any time before, because of the unique characteristics, it was a beauty that could not be replicated.

The apse was empty, but it was very clean, and there were not even pillars supporting the dome in the hall, so the huge space was unobstructed. Fan Lin sat on the ground in the middle of the hall, her shoes by her side, quietly waiting for his arrival.

Richard was stunned, and sat down on the opposite side of her.

"You're looking for me?" asked Richard.

Fan Lin looked at Richard seriously, and only after a moment did she ask, "You're almost twenty, aren't you?"

Richard thought for a moment before nodding and saying, "Yes." "I've been shuttling between different planes for a long time, and sometimes I forget my age.

Fan Lin smiled faintly and said, "Back then, he was just twenty years old, but he was much more powerful than you are now. At that time, I was also very young. We always thought that the whole world would be ours in the future. But ten years later, we began to doubt what we had in mind. Twenty years later, I realized that I was so small, and all our struggles were so empty and powerless in front of the power of fate. Later, in despair, we chose to sacrifice each other and say goodbye forever. ”

In her bland narrative, Richard suddenly felt that his breathing was also becoming heavy, as if he was being suppressed by the power of time.

Fan Lin suddenly smiled and said, "It's far away. But seeing you today is like seeing us back then. Okay, I just wanted to ask you a question, what do you think is the real cornerstone of a strong man? bloodline, structure, level, or whatever?"

Richard pondered, then said tentatively, "Blood? is not right...... The level is also important, but if it's a fifth-order build......"

Fan Lin said: "It's all right, and it's not right. In fact, the power of the bloodline is not mysterious, the vast majority of strong people have strong bloodline power, but many of them are not born with a strong bloodline. Bloodline power can be mined, boosted, and even plundered. And the Eternal and Time Dragon's graces often contain a variety of bloodlines. Therefore, sooner or later, the strong will have their own bloodline power. As for the level, since you have been to Callando and have also been to the Peerless Battlefield, you should know that the level is not everything. It is not uncommon for a legendary powerhouse to die at the hands of the Heavenly Rank Sacred Domain. Then, that's all that's left to build. Build-up is actually a bigger limiting factor than the previous two, or conversely, it is precisely because it restricts the development of the strong that it is the more important factor. ”

"Then I should go deeper into the build?" asked Richard tentatively.

"Buildout is only one factor, but it's not the only way for the strong. In fact, the powerhouses of the Kalando continent are not constructed. And among the few of our top powerhouses in Norland, there are also those who don't use any construction. ”

"Don't use constructs?" Richard was taken aback.

"But you're still far from getting there, and that's something you have to start thinking about when you step into the legend and need to find your own path. Now, you're still honest, you can use whatever you have! Build, equipment, artifacts, nothing is missing. Fan Lin laughed.

Richard nodded, and then asked, "Then what is the path of the strong?"

Fan Lin said softly: "The real strong people, except for a few people with special talents or special circumstances, almost all have a strong heart. In fact, the so-called strong heart is nothing more than a few qualities. They are tenacious and persistent, and they also have the courage to face up to the occasion. ”

Richard suddenly had a trance, this passage seemed to have been heard somewhere.

Suddenly, Richard seemed to be back in the village of Rutherland, and at that time, he thought that a small tree was so tall. At that time, the happiest time of the day was to sit at the dinner table at night, listening to my mother's story, while munching on the evening meal. Elani's voice was always so gentle, so pleasant. When her voice sounds, it seems that the flowers in the mountains will swaying and blooming.

In that small mountain village far from the world, at the age of seven, Richard remembered to do things with perseverance. When he was eight years old, Richard learned to be tenacious. Then, at the age of nine, Richard had courage. Then came the age of ten......

At the age of ten, it was an indescribable pain, and the fire and confusion were buried deep in Richard's heart ever since.

When he was a child, it turned out that the heart of a strong man that Fan Lin spoke of had become a habit of Richard and a part of his life.

"I see!" Richard's eyes lit up when he looked up again.

Fan Lin nodded approvingly, she had actually seen all the qualities of Richard for a long time, and she had been secretly sighing.

If a person is able to show another person a way forward, one can be called a guru. What Van Lin is doing now is to point out the direction for Richard, as long as the direction is correct, which way to go, there is not much difference.

"Very well, then next, I want to ask you for one thing. Van Lin said.

Richard was really surprised this time, as the great priest of the Eternal Dragon Palace, what could Fan Lin not do? As long as she opened her mouth, how many strong people would rush to serve her? With Fan Lin's favor, it means too much, such as a long life, a strong power.

Richard sat up straight and said solemnly, "I will do my best." ”

A simple answer, no tricks, no water, only the determination to fulfill the promise to the end.
