The old human man hovering in the air with his knees cross-legged exuded pure spiritual energy, he only wore a thin robe, and the exposed skin and limbs looked relatively thin, but each muscle was as strong and powerful as a steel bar, and a string of crystal stone necklaces hung around his neck, and each thumb-sized crystal stone had different colors of spells shining slightly in it, as if he had plucked the beautiful five-colored stars from the sky and stored them in this crystal necklace, the brilliance was extremely moving. And on his forehead was embedded in a round crystal stone the size of a little finger, and if you looked closely, there were some micro-blood vessels deep into the crystal stone, making it look like a living, bright and strange eye!
The old man was closing his eyes and cultivating spiritual energy, and he didn't get angry when he heard this, but just snorted coldly: "These guys are getting more and more bold! I really don't know how much strength they are hiding? This blatant practice is completely declaring war on the royal family! If it weren't for the need for them to deal with the centaurs, the king would have stabbed them a long time ago! Do you really think that our Jewel Dragon God Church would not dare to fight with them? Okay, Faulco, I will tell the king about this." You need to practice the energy adaptation psionic energy first, which can be very useful in the event of civil strife and conflict with the ogre wizards who have fallen to the nobility. ”
The half-blood ogre named Folko bowed down, and as he was leaving, he suddenly asked, "Why aren't there any priests here today?"
The human elder said slowly, "I heard that High Priest Sinalo has returned with a team, and he has also brought hundreds of human farmers to reclaim that arable land. But that's what happened today," he suddenly opened his eyes and scolded, "Bastard! Those fellows must have known that High Priest Sinalo had returned with farmers recruited from other places, so they deliberately let those centaurs bypass the line and slaughter the village, so as to put pressure on the king and the church to give us that arable land to them! I wonder they want to swallow even the new farmers! Hmph!" A vicious cold gleam flashed in his eyes: "The half-red dragon ogre guarding that line seems to be called Dingfred." I must find an opportunity to remove him from his post! If it really doesn't work," he squinted his eyes and said coldly, "Then find an opportunity to assassinate him!" and then put the blame on those kobold lizardmen in the nearby mountains!"
The temple of the royal jewel dragon in Naintus is a huge trapezoidal platform that resembles a pyramid. However, the top is a wide platform, and on the platform there is a dome-shaped building about fifteen rooms wide. Originally, there was nothing outstanding, but in the center of the dome, a ruby crystal pillar as thick as a large bed and about five or six floors high "grew", reaching straight into the sky!
This huge and towering strange crystal pillar is a neat six-sided cylinder, in which the color is crystal clear, the red light is soft, and it looks like the first birth of the red sun from a distance. It warms people's hearts.
And in the temple, the high priest of the jewel dragon god is sitting around a large table and exchanging ideas with each other:
One of the old human men, dressed in a red priest's robe and a five-colored crystal necklace around his neck, muttered with half-closed eyes, "That air elemental god wants to exchange our spiritual abilities for his talisman method? Unless he converts to our gods. ”
Another tall sapphire dragon vein ogre priest was suspicious: "Is his talisman technique really that wonderful? ”
The people of Sinaro are getting old. Knowing that he alone could not convince many high priests, let alone engage in any delusions of "eloquence"—everyone was a psychic man, and he would not be swayed by a few impulsive words. He pretended to be relaxed and responded: "I'm just building a little bit, of course, I also agree to test the true situation and extreme ability of his Fu Seal!"
The rest of the High Priest of the Dragon Vein Ogre nodded, and said, "As for the group of farmers you brought back, they were originally going to be assigned to develop the arable land in the north, but I just received the news that the arable land was sacked by a large group of centaurs, and a village that was established only last year was completely destroyed. They muttered, "We suspect that some dragon vein ogre nobles colluded with the centaurs to give us a leg up on our plan! ”
Another ogre priest covered in crystal shining dragon scales suddenly asked Sinalo, "Hey, didn't you say that the Divine Earth Priest of the Qi Elemental Earth is quite powerful? Can you let him help the newcomer to reclaim that area? and see what kind of sigil art he has in his land? ”
The other Earth Dragon Vein Ogre High Priests all nodded in agreement. The human high priests of the nearby lands were silent. Xinaro immediately understood the current terrain, so he said, "Then it depends on whether he wants to." Either wait for the king to come and ask him to decide. ”
The king of the land of Naintus also served as the supreme priest of the Jewel Dragon God Church. This is the local tradition since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
"Such a large ruby pillar!" Grimm sighed again at the six-story tall pillar, "How much is this worth!
Dongzi next to him smiled: "Then it will be blasted into a pile of ashes." Hahahaha, that ruby pillar contains a wide variety of powerful psionic powers. It seemed to me like a vast hurricane hiding in it. Just the smell of the earth that came out of the earth was like the tide of the sea. You just have to touch it. It is estimated that it was burned to ashes. Hahaha, I don't believe you, let Lelin borrow your secret method to visually put on the ring and try it. ”
Le Lin said coldly: "No need to try." Indeed, the earth has a strong spiritual light that is not produced. It's like a bolt of lightning. I couldn't have looked at it!" he said, covering his finger with his hand on the ring. I didn't want to lend it to Grimm Grimm to see her annoying look. He snorted unceremoniously. Turning to the side of Mackenzi, he said, "Borrow your arcane vision ring and try it." These days, he has been silently learning the art of "magic cannon shooter" with McKenzie. So the relationship between the two of them is not bad.
Putting on the other party's arcane vision ring, he exclaimed, "It's amazing! It's really like a bolt of lightning! Wow! It's so colorful, so beautiful." He also deliberately made a gesture of excitement dancing with his hands, and he was angry.
When they were making noise, there was a loud rumbling sound in the distance—the huge steel door of the royal capital, which was about six floors high, was slowly lowered like a gate under the push of the huge instrument chains on both sides.
The capital of Naintus, where they lived, was in fact a wide valley, flanked by high mountains sandwiched by a wide, long valley, as if built on a great dry riverbed. As a result, the passages on both sides of the valley are equipped with huge liftable gates. Once closed, it is extremely difficult to open.
The royal capital of the valley consisted of only a few tall but humble buildings. The blue-gray bricks and hard wooden pillars and beams are simply built into two- and three-story buildings, which is simply a town that is dozens of times magnified! For example, the so-called "big market" in the vicinity has no decent high-rise houses at all, only rows of animal skin sheds and simple hardwood shops and prices. It looks a little bigger. Not even the markets outside Giffen!
And this is "the largest bazaar in the land of Naintus!" Oh my God!
The only thing that is still "majestic" is a gray-white "giant pillar" about ten stories high on the top of the mountain in the distance. When Dongzi looked closely, it was a cylindrical tall tower, the width of which was probably seven or eight rooms wide. At the top of the giant pillar is a building that resembles a tall "flying saucer". There are rows of windows on it. It looks a bit sci-fi.
He asked Abgo what kind of building it was. Why is the majestic Cheng dù no less than the national jewel dragon temple. Brother Abb looked at the giant pillar tower with a little disdain and said, "That is the research center of the ogre wizards in China, and they plan to use innate and earth-type spells to develop their own arcane abilities. I got together and studied it. Hmph, but after hundreds of years of research, I haven't found any advanced abilities. At most, it will release a third-order arcane burst fire thunder. ”
Dongzi suddenly asked, "What about the money? It takes a lot of money to study the arcane, not to mention the development of new arcane abilities? And their pillar-shaped high-rise building also costs a huge amount of money to make it." I could feel the aura of magic coming from above from so far away. ”
Brother Ab patiently introduced: "These ogre wizards are all nobles in the country, so naturally they have some money. They pooled their own money to build something. No one can interfere. ”
Dongzi nodded, and along the way, Sinalo and Abgo had already introduced them to the main composition of the Naintus Realm:
Three hundred years ago, the first king of the land of Naintus was originally a slave in a large mine in the human kingdom of Charlematt, and was later sold to a slave gladiatorial arena for the amusement of the rich human or non-human because of his talent for crystal dragon veins. After hovering on the brink of life and death for several years, he was suddenly inspired by the jewel dragon god Sadiwo in a dream, and developed his latent psychic abilities. Then he secretly gathered a group of dragon veins ogres and humans in the gladiatorial arena to convert to the jewel dragon god, and in the ensuing peasant revolt, he and his comrades honestly rushed out of the gladiatorial arena. Halfway through, they gathered a number of ogres and wizards, bear goblin robbers, and thousands of desperate human farmers scattered all over the place, and after being strangled by the Arcane Federation, they were forced to flee north along the barren mountains and wilderness to this desolate land of the Principle Human Realm. Only then did he take root and slowly establish the current state of Naintus.
All the jewel dragon vein ogres are members of the country's royal family, and they all worship the jewel dragon god Sadiwo. Other dragon vein ogres, such as the Red Dragon Vein Ogre, the Green Dragon Vein Ogre, and the White Dragon Vein Ogre, are all aristocratic groups that are divided into different regions, not only controlling their own armies, but also guarding various fortresses for the royal family to defend against bandits and enemies from all directions, especially the nearby centaur tribes, and the ogre wizards are the minor nobles in the country. They either belong to various dragon vein ogre nobility groups, or serve the royal family. The grassroots military forces in the country are divided into two categories, one is the fiefdom military force of the aristocratic group - the ordinary dragon vein ogre nobles, which is mainly composed of bear goblins, goblins and a few remaining green-skinned orcs. These forces are the most powerful and important, because they control all the vital points in the country. The second category is the royal family, that is, the military power of the church in the hands of the jewel dragon vein ogres, which is mainly composed of gem dragon vein ogres, human and non-human psychic abilities, and a few ogre wizards. There are not many of them, but they are all elite troops.
Then there is the indigenous power of the country of Naintus, the Cyclops tribe. To fight against a common and formidable enemy, the ferocious Centaur tribe. They have long since been integrated into the Naintus, but they are still a relatively independent armed force organizationally. They would be called up by the royal family to participate in some military operations. He will also assist in the battle at the request of the nobles. It is also in a relatively independent position in politics. And their elite power, the "Storm Shaman", is the most important representative.
Of course, as the races continue to communicate with each other, some of the more gifted humans and ogre wizards have begun to learn shamanic techniques, and some of the gifted Cyclops have begun to believe in the Jewel Dragon God Church. Learn psychic abilities. Others mingled with ogre wizards who studied arcane arts, researching ways to expand their spell-like abilities.
As for the rest of the human race, they are only the lowest farmers in the country, whose only value is to produce food and provide services. Even if you can become a militia, you don't have much combat effectiveness, and no one will expect these wastes who want strength but no strength, and no magic spells.
After chatting for a while, they saw a group of legendary priests rushing down from the temple of the royal jewel dragon. Half of them are humans, and half of them are tall and unusually tall and unusually tall and have various gem dragon vein ogres. I heard that the original Jewel Dragon God Church was only accessible to the jewel dragon vein ogres of the royal family, so it was only a small church limited to the royal family. In order to compete with the local dragon vein ogre nobles, they promoted some people from the human race to join the Jewel Dragon God Church and continuously expanded the strength of the church. Unexpectedly, in the absence of arcane methods, these people devoted themselves to studying psychic abilities, but they also made rapid progress, and gradually the number of human beings in the church increased, to the point that even half of the ten high priests were human.
Conversely, human beings at the bottom of society are also desperate to live in the asylum of politics. Therefore, those who have a little ability have joined the Jewel Dragon God Church and gained some ability to resist the local military aristocracy. Of course, the royal family's jewel dragon vein ogres are also very willing to see someone confront these local nobles who have no one in their eyes and shout at the royal family.
A group of gem dragon vein ogres, about two people tall, armed with various sharp axes and hammers, and delicate staffs, escorted a luxurious carriage inlaid with countless gems and crystals towards the tall and well-built palace. In the distance, the figure of Sinalo gradually approached.
In front of Dongzi and others. He tilted his head with a stern expression and asked, "I wonder if you are willing to convert to the jewel dragon god Sadiwo?"
Dongzi was stunned for a moment: Is it doubting my identity?! Immediately refused with "righteous words": "Then how can it be done? The great god Akudi has always been a great god that I respect, how can I casually join the church of other gods." He still uses the word "reverence" rather than "faith."
Xinaro nodded and said, "I knew it would be like this. However, if you don't join our Jewel Dragon God Church, then you can't pass on your psychic abilities lightly, this is an oracle rule from the Jewel Dragon God himself, and I can't disobey it. Seeing that Dongzi was about to ask, he hurriedly said: "The psychic ability knowledge I told you along the way is the most basic thing, and everyone here knows it, so it is not a violation." ”
Dongzi said in his heart: "It turns out that it's the same as me, and the basic alchemy can be passed on casually." It's okay to spread the bad street. But once it comes to the middle and upper grades, it is necessary to choose people and give them. He regretted that he could not obtain psychic knowledge, but heard Sinaro say again: "However, the other high priests, including the king, agree that if your talisman is really useful, then they are willing to exchange it with you! If we can successfully stabilize that area under your leadership and show everyone what the Seal is capable of, I think your hope is that our church will definitely agree. ”
Then he led Dongzi, Mackensi, and others to the most "luxurious" hotel in the royal capital.
Grimm looked at the four- or five-story building in front of him in astonishment. He said dumbly: "This is the most luxurious hotel? What are you kidding? This is obviously a small fortress in the countryside." "Yes, this is really a crude military fortress! Although the appearance is quite majestic, the thick stones on the wall are not polished and smoothed at all, as if a bunch of relatively smooth large stones have been dragged from the deep mountains, and then hastily shaped into one with spells such as "stone shaping"! Rows of "windows" have been opened on the tall wall, but no matter how you look at it, it looks like some small "shooting holes." To make matters worse, the building has no ornaments or architectural shapes, and even the main gate is an unpretentious two-leaf "thick plank", which has nothing but the majesty of a two-story high. ”
Dongzi pointed to the thick wall and said, "Who said there is no decoration? Don't you see that there are rows of neat log beams protruding from this wall? Hahahaha," he shook his head and laughed as he led the group into the humble "hotel".
What is this like a hotel in the royal capital? It's really too poor to say. And the contradictions between the royal family and the nobles in various places seem to be quite big, which is really unpeaceful.
But then again. There is no peace in the world. Otherwise, what are you doing when you ask the Buddha? Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and everywhere they are the same.
