Chapter 39, Identity and Responsibility
In the temple, Tamowen and I looked at each other and smiled, he laughed because there was finally hope to be able to deal with the bandits, and I laughed because I clicked on the quest tree and found that the crusade against the bandits can also quickly obtain the gods' bad coins, which is much more efficient than the crusade against the monsters in the demon realm. According to a rough estimate of the minimap, if I set off tomorrow at dawn with the 300 warriors that Lord Tamowin promised to command, we will be able to destroy 2~3 dens and buy more than 20 god coins before the end of the seven days of delayed stay!!
But before I could show any more emotion, a high priest with more stripes and a few more gold-trimmed stripes than I had seen before suddenly came over, bowed, and said, "Hello lord, I heard that this is a messenger of the gods?
I was stunned for a moment before I reacted, and then replied to him: "Of course, Priest Kiramei, how are you going to verify it? Don't panic, this is the power that God has given me, and I will be able to know your name and identity when I meet you for the first time." ”
I don't know exactly how to behave like a god, but I still know how to behave like a god, and this is what my dad taught me when I was chatting before, when he was learning me the way the priest in a small church in Australia spoke in his own tone, and it was said that he heard it when he went to the confessional to complain in the name of confession, and he thought it was quite interesting.
“...... You only need to check your identity with a crystal lamp, Lord God, please forgive us with our caution and ask for your cooperation. "Priest Chirami was obviously a little frightened, after all, even the lord didn't know his name. So in his heart, he actually believed eighty percent.
The unexpected trouble of this ritual was that first they took me off Tamevin's shoulders and then took me alone to an ashram with a smooth surface like the lower half of a goblet on which a crystal lamp lit up the darkness with pale green fireworks. All I had to do was stroke the lampshade with my hand and chant a lengthy prayer until something magical was activated, and then my magic was deducted by two points, and a few shimmering golden words appeared in the air. Obviously, this is not a text I recognize, but when the priests who followed me saw it, they all suddenly began to salute me, and then ...... They sang in unison!?
As a result, when they finished singing, I realized that it was a hymn of welcome and blessing, and that my identity had been confirmed, and that the complicated ritual was just a manifestation of the identity column on the attribute board. It can be seen that the skill of the all-seeing eye is not useless, after all, it has its special features, the attribute board and the minimap seem to be original, but only I can see it.
After confirming my identity, I thought it would be over, but I didn't expect Priest Kirama and the people he led to suddenly say: "Great messenger, declare in advance that we do not want to interfere in the mission that God has given you, but we just want to know if there is anything we can also contribute to that grand and divine plan." ”
"Well, there's a little bit of trouble that I need to ask you for. ”
"Don't bother!! please trust our power !!"
The sudden explosion of the shouts in unison shook my scalp, the eyes of these people are full of piety and faith, but this is also normal, the god of light Vida Dido is an existence with amazing power, and has always been hesitant to reveal his divine skills, and the result is that its temple will unconditionally give back power to it and dedicate energy!
"Of course I believe you, but the first thing God is going to do is to fulfill the prayers of many believers and completely put down the bandits in the southern territory of Rodi!"
"This! is truly a god!! what mercy this is, what kindness this is!!!
After looking at their fiery eyes and red cheeks with excitement, I was embarrassed to mention the specific conditions, but just added stubbornly: "Then please don't disappoint the gods." ”
After saying that, I quickly walked away from the group of excited and panting strong men in small steps.
"For the Light!!
There was another chaotic shout behind me, and I was so scared that I almost mixed my left foot with my right foot, it's poisonous! Why are you so excited to work?!
After I ran out, I noticed that all the clergy of the temple looked at me strangely, and it seemed that there was already a bit of such a sign just now, and after the identity was verified, they didn't even bother to hide it!! it was just a naked fanaticism! The most terrible thing was that I was walking so well, and suddenly an old dog-headed man with two curly beards and a very sven look came and wanted to lick my shoes!! I was so frightened that I didn't know how to hold on faster than him, and then squeezed out a sentence from between my teeth: "Hurry up, God's people are all equal!"
As soon as the words fell, I felt as if this person wanted to kiss me, no! He wanted to kiss the god of light he believed in through me!
So much so that after finding Tammowen, I almost couldn't hold back my tears and shouted!!!
After seeing me come back, he knew in his heart that this was a real proof of identity, and Tamowin also grinned, and even the momentum that could deter jackals, tigers and leopards eased a little, and he told me a good news on the spot: "The person I want to invite has promised to teach you, we just used the magic communicator to say okay, this person is very powerful, generally speaking, it is difficult to invite, and I don't want to be too coercive." ”
"My lord, get out of here first!!!This person is a little too enthusiastic!!" I shouted with a wry smile!
"Haha, you have to be considerate of them, although there are rumors of the appearance of divine envoys everywhere in the empire, but this is probably the first time they have seen it with their own eyes, and excitement is inevitable. Let's go, it's almost time, there is still a banquet for us in the evening, it has been too long for anyone to dare to set foot in the fishy insect wilderness, and it is time to take this opportunity to cheer up, although the shadow of war cannot be dispelled, but it can also divert the attention of the people a little......"
"The shadow of war......" I was a little puzzled, but I didn't ask directly, and this kind of important thing must be known sooner or later. So I changed the question to a sigh.
"yes...... Even the bandits who deserve to die many times are only a sad by-product of war. ”
Tammowen also sighed softly, and then he pulled me to his shoulder, and then said with a smile: "We have to borrow your identity to inspire the people! After all, you are not good at fighting, so don't you mean that you are good at everything else!"
I didn't struggle either, and after a brief contact I found myself liking the old and strong lord, who was bold and wise, full of strength, and loved his people, and was a respected leader. This is his identity, he is doing well, and my identity, can it also be good enough?
