Chang Hao, whose true identity was revealed in one sentence, suddenly raised his head, he was not looking at Dante's presiding priest, but quickly judging where to escape from the best chance.

The temple priest in front of him is an old monster who has been famous since the time of the sea and land wars, and a demon general Gresil can make him helpless, and he has not yet swelled to the point of daring to attack this legendary priest, which will only make him die faster.

That girl is still all recruited! Chang Hao gritted his teeth.

"Don't get me wrong, young man, Anna didn't tell me who you are. The presiding priest Dante, who had broken Chang Hao's identity, still looked calm, and the smile on his face was full of wisdom that was unique to that kind of old man at the moment.

Chang Hao was shocked, could it be that this chief priest could see through his thoughts?

"Don't be too nervous, young man, I can't see all your thoughts clearly, the talent of our Deer Clan's True Eye is not so outrageous, it's just that your mood ups and downs are too obvious, there are too many flaws, it's easy to see through. "The officiant Dante showed with practical actions that he could indeed understand some of Chang Hao's thoughts.

Powerful immortal cultivators are often keenly aware of whether the other party has bad intentions, although Chang Hao is not powerful in this regard, he is not weak. In the repeated perception of the divine sense, the old man in front of him did not have the slightest killing intent before, and now he has not had the slightest intent.

But to his great surprise, the priest seemed to be able to perceive the existence of the divine consciousness, and had been carefully observing the few wisps of divine consciousness beside him, and from time to time stretched out his finger to try to touch it, but unfortunately the divine consciousness was not substantial, so the main priest of Dante was doomed to be in vain.

"What a magical power, this power is not magic, nor is it vindictive. "The Priest Dante was as excited as he had discovered a New World.

Repeatedly confirming that the main priest in front of him had no ill will towards him, Chang Hao slowly sat his ass back on the mat, and his eyes never took off the old man in front of him for a moment.

"You... How did you find out my identity?" Chang Hao couldn't help but ask first.

"You've been successful in imitating the appearance of an elf, and you can completely fake it. Many orcs may be unfamiliar with the elven race these days, but the old man fought alongside them more than a thousand years ago, and even befriended some elves, so although your imitation is indeed realistic, it does not mean that you can hide it from me. ”

The priest of Dante shoved the letter of appointment into Chang Hao's hand and said lightly: "I could see as early as the first time we met, you will be very nervous. ”

Chang Hao was silent for a long time and asked, "Since you already know my true identity, why didn't you arrest me?"

"You don't have a bad heart and have a great sense of justice, why should I arrest you?" said the priest Dante, with a puzzled look on his face.

This time it was Chang Hao's turn to be speechless, and he was stunned for a while before he said with difficulty: "Don't you know the truth that if you are not from my race, your heart will be different?"

"I have never heard of it, but it makes sense. The priest Dante looked Chang Hao back from beginning to end with a surprised look, "It's hard to imagine that this kind of cruel argument could come out of the mouth of a young man. ”

The priest sat up slightly straight, and he said earnestly: "The saying that the hearts of those who are not of my race must be different is right and wrong, but I think that the quality of a person should not be determined by his origin. In this universe, are all orcs necessarily good? Humans must be bad? You must know that during the sea and land wars, it was the magicians of the Human Church who made up for the shortcomings of our orcs who were born with no magic. ”

"I have seen the deceit of human beings, and I have seen human beings forget their righteousness, but I will never forget the great kindness of human beings to us orcs back then. The so-called good and bad depend on the specific situation, and you can't kill everyone with a stick. The treacherous minds and greedy eyes of those human nobles and merchants, I can't find a trace in you. Your heart is pure, pure, and I have never missed anyone in these thousand years. ”

"You can come with secrets, or you can go with secrets, as long as you treat the orc kingdom as if it were your home. "The officiant Dante smiled like the old man next door who got up early to water the flowers, and there was no shelf of a legendary sacrifice.

"Your wisdom and open-mindedness are better than the sun in heaven. Chang Hao took a deep breath and felt relieved. He finally understood why there were three red-clothed priests in the temple, but he was the only one who was called a legend by the world, and the reason was not only because of his age.

"Young people should look like young people, and don't always think about slapping us old guys. The priest slapped his thigh and laughed.

"I'm sorry, I can't help myself. Chang Hao was amused by the old man's humor.

"Take the mandate, and you are the lord of the Varonian wasteland. As a lord, the people are indispensable. There is a rule in the temple that any lord must meet the quota of 2,000 people within three months, otherwise he will be banned. The priestess Dante asked, "Do you have two thousand people under your command now?"

"How can there be such a disgusting system, this is clearly the door to life?" Chang Hao immediately had one head and two big.

Now there are only Herbert's Bear Tribe, Panda Tribe, and Oriental Monk Order, as well as women and children, and they are only in their early 400s when they are full, and Varonian is a wasteland, where is he going to rob the remaining more than 1,500 people?

Chang Hao had a big sorrow written on his head, thinking that he was going to become the shortest-lived lord in the history of the orc kingdom, the kind that would automatically get out of the way when three months expired?

"Your expression already tells me the answer. The priest nodded, "Well, the temple will appoint a sacrifice for each territory, and I will have the priest report with the vassal warriors, slaves, and cattle and sheep for the herds." ”

Happiness came too fast like a tornado, Chang Hao almost rushed up to give the priest a fierce hug, this is simply a charcoal in the snow!

However, Chang Hao quickly noticed that in addition to this newbie gift package, there was also an extra sacrifice, and after hesitating for a while, he asked, "Lord Priest, do you think we don't want this sacrifice?"

It's not that Chang Hao is full of meat and can't look down on vegetables, but he really has a secret, he is a human being, and he is accompanied by hundreds of immortal cultivators who "smuggled" from the East, as well as human magicians like Xiao Ai.

The priest Dante was broad-minded and tolerant, and that was because his vision was in place, but he couldn't expect any priest from a temple to have this kind of awareness, right?

"It is a tradition and a requirement to assign sacrifices to every territory, especially Varonian. The priest Dante glanced at the offspring that the secret basket might not have contained, took out a parchment map, and pointed to the location of the northern provinces, "The Varonian wasteland is located in the northern provinces, bordering the human desert country, where there are constant riots, desert bandits will cross the border from time to time to raid, and our orc warriors can only ensure that they can exert enough strength in battle if they are equipped with sacrifices." ”

"But you don't have to worry, considering your practical problems, I will send you a sacrifice that knows you well, so that you don't have to worry. ”

Chang Hao was full of question marks, he had come to Middle-earth to see a sacrifice that could be counted in one slap, how could there be such a person? But soon he seemed to remember something, opened his mouth wide and asked tentatively, "Is it Anna?"

"Clever boy. The priest Dante nodded with satisfaction: "Although Anna has been a member of the dark part of the temple for a long time, her ability as a priest is not weaker than others, you can rest assured." ”

"That's natural, don't tell you the priest, Anna and I are quite compatible. Chang Hao deeply agreed with the main priest's words, if it weren't for Anna's mad war song that made Mamos and the other heavily armored warriors burst their potential and run all the way for hundreds of kilometers, I'm afraid they would have become Gresil's prisoners by now.

Chang Hao is not a fool, the temple is not a pure place, full of power entanglements. Since there are three main priests, the relationship between these three main priests should be like the three-legged stand in the late Eastern Han Dynasty in the land of Kyushu. The priest Dante worked so hard to help him, no matter how he looked at it, he should have wanted to draw him into his own service.

But the legendary priest didn't do that, but more like he was in the shoes of a friend. He will help those who can, and he will help those who can't create conditions. Chang Hao felt a little warm in his heart, and he couldn't help but respect this old man.

It was the first time since his grandfather and Gandalf that he had held an old man in such respect.

Dante's status as the presiding priest of the temple is aside, he is actually a very talkative old man. It seems that because the people around him have been respectful to him for a long time, and he has never been able to find an object to talk freely about, and now Chang Hao has satisfied his desire to talk, and the old and the young sit on the ground like a year-old friend, Chang Hao also told Dante the priest his real name.

The two talked freely, and before they knew it, the moon in the night sky was hanging high like a big millstone, and the banquet in the barracks had long since ended.

It was not early, Chang Hao got up and said goodbye.

"After you arrived in Vronian, stabilize as soon as possible, although you rescued Prince Camus and allowed the Orc Kingdom to be handed over, it is still possible for the Human Empire to continue to make a fuss about this matter. Your territory is close to the Human Empire, and I heard that there has been a lot of activity in the desert country recently, and the kingdom's army also happens to be tight, you have to be mentally prepared, I can only say that. After much consideration, the Priest decided to give the wise young man one last reminder of the situation he was facing.

Although Varonian's fiefdom is vast, it has always been a hot potato in the orc kingdom. Not because the land is barren, but because Varonian is a buffer zone between the orc kingdom and the human empire. If war breaks out between the two sides, the pressure on the shoulders of Lord Vronian can be imagined. In such a land of lawlessness, it is difficult to gain a foothold without considerable skill and courage.

It was for this reason that the temple and the council were willing to take the Valonian fief as a reward. In other places where they are so rich that they are reluctant to take it out.

"Thank you, Lord Priest, the junior knows it very well. Chang Hao arched his hand at the old man, turned around and disappeared into the night.

The main priest of Dante looked at Chang Hao's departing back, and his eyes were complicated.

"Lord Priest, although Chang Hao is a human being, he is undoubtedly very good, don't you really think about recruiting him to become a follower?"

"Anna, didn't I say it, when there are no outsiders, just call me father, and don't always follow the same style in the dark department. The priest smiled like an old chrysanthemum in full bloom, and pointed to the straw mat beside him, motioning for Anna to sit down.

"Good father. Anna sat respectfully on her knees on the straw mat, her two straight hips gently folded on her heels, rippling in a fascinating arc.

If Chang Hao is here, even if he will be labeled as disrespectful to the main priest, he must ask how he can be more than a thousand years old and still have a daughter like a flower? This is no longer an old tree blooming, it is simply an iron tree blooming!

In addition, if Chang Hao could witness this scene, he would find another problem. Dante is a deer clan with two antlers on his head, but Anna does not have one on his head, so Anna must be a half-blood. Then Anna's mother's origin is intriguing.

"Of course I want to recruit such a good young man. But alas, he's not the one I'm able to recruit. The priest sighed, and he had something to say.

"Father, why do you say that? You are a legendary chief priest in the orc kingdom who has experienced sea and land battles, and he is just a fledgling little lord, how can you say that you are not qualified to recruit him?"

"Anna, do you remember that there is an ancient book in your clan that records the story of a long time ago when a practitioner from the Far East visited Middle-earth?"

Anna nodded obediently. She remembered the book very well, the old book was so old that turning the pages too hard would turn the fragile paper into ashes, and her father often quoted allusions from the book as her bedtime story.

"There are vivid illustrations of magic drawn by human magicians, which record the unprecedented hospitality of the various ethnic groups after the arrival of the Eastern cultivators in Middle-earth, and even the faces of those Eastern cultivators are depicted one by one. ”

"And this Chang Hao, just like the face of the most prominent Oriental Emperor in the illustration back then, is almost carved out of the same mold!" "The main priest Dante took a deep breath after speaking, and even he seemed to be a little incredulous.

"Father, are you saying that this Chang Hao is not from the Human Empire, but from the Far East, and even the heir of that Human Emperor?" Anna's face turned pale for a while, and she lost her previous calmness.

She had heard her father talk about the Oriental Emperor's visit to Middle-earth several times when she was young, so she remembered it very well. Now that she recalled Chang Hao's strange behavior in his previous actions and the magical behavior of stepping on the sword and flying, it seemed that everything could be explained.

"It's not an exaggeration to say that Varonian is a mess, he will definitely encounter problems of one kind or another when he goes there to be a lord, and you will be a good lord if you go to him after a while to serve as a war priest, to help him and assist him. ”

Dante, the priest who had a son in his old age, cherished his daughter very much, rubbed the top of Anna's head and comforted: "I know that Helen's fall has caused you to alienate the dark part, and you just took this opportunity to get out of the dark part and become a dignified sacrifice, so you should go to Vronian to relax." My dear daughter, go and get ready. ”

Anna gladly took the order, and the temple became cold again.

The night was cold and the wind was howling, and the priest Dante pulled the collar of the sacrificial robe.

In fact, there is one thing hidden in his heart, and he has not mentioned it to anyone.

A thousand years ago, by chance, he learned the Great Prophecy Technique from Merlin, a great human magician, and he dared to try to cast the Great Prophecy Technique on Chang Hao.

In the prophesied space, he saw the infinite universe, where huge ships that covered the sky and the sun were moored, and the young man who was still a little restrained sitting in front of him stood in front of the ocean formed by the convergence of countless giant ships, staring into the distance with his sword in hand.

And just when he wanted to see more clearly, the prophecy space suddenly became pitch black, and a man wearing a black gold emperor robe walked out of the darkness without warning, and the entire prophecy space trembled with the man's footsteps.

Priest Dante's eyes widened for a moment.

He recognized this man, he was the Oriental Emperor recorded in the ancient books!

The human emperor only waved his hand at him, and the entire prophecy space was shattered, and the irresistible royal power suddenly descended, and the main priest of Dante changed color, and he felt that he was more vulnerable than grass mustard in the face of that force. He is like a tenant whose contract has expired, politely asked out of the house by the real owner.

He saw the Emperor's lips open and close, but he couldn't hear anything. It wasn't until he was invited out of the prophecy space that the voice came slowly, echoing in his ears.

"Old man, just see here, this is not something you can watch after this. ”
