Chapter 17: The True Reason for the Hunt of the Lord of the Dawn

No, thank you.

Tingen would love to say that.

But as a hospitable archmage, Tingen has a passion for any guest, even if it is an uninvited guest who comes without notice.

So he readily agreed to the guest's request and opened his library hidden in the half-plane to him.

Then, he stood on the eighth floor of his mage tower and waited for the Lord to come out.

It wasn't until the moon climbed up the sky that he finally saw the figure of His Excellency emerge from his half-plane, and for the first time he found the waiting time so difficult.

"Thank you, sir. Jiang Hao nodded politely at the mage, this mage has a rich collection of books and solves many of his problems, so he wants to express his gratitude for this.

"It is my pleasure to serve you, Your Excellency. Flattered, Tingen took off his pointed hat, put it on his chest, and bowed to Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao smiled and said, "Can you satisfy me with another unreasonable request?"

No, thank you.

Tingen thought to himself, and when the words came to his lips, it became, "It's an honor to serve you again." ”

Jiang Hao said with a smile in the corner of his eyes: "As a guest who has come from afar and is very unfamiliar with this city, can you take me in for a while? ”

"You said you were going to live here?"

Tingen was a little flustered.

What is the difference between a mage letting a strange demigod live in his mage tower and a king letting a money-hungry dragon live in his treasury.

Jiang Hao nodded.

Tingen's face twitched, "It's my honor to let you live in my mage tower. ”

Hopefully, this aristocratic demigod won't ransack his mage tower like a greedy dragon...... At the very least, leave me half of it.

Jiang Hao nodded reservedly, waiting for the archmage to arrange it for him.

After he made arrangements, Jiang Hao sat on the gray egg chair, drinking the root juice and fruit water freshly squeezed by the invisible servant, and sighed slightly.

"The aristocratic etiquette of the other world is quite useful. ”

He just imitated the aristocratic etiquette that the baron remembered and spoke to the archmage, but the final effect was surprisingly good.

Not only did the other party not have a verbal contempt for him, and he didn't act without saying a word, but also arranged him properly, creating several invisible servants to serve him, giving him a feeling of being at home.

No, it was better than going home, where he had no servants to serve him.

So he decided not to look for a place to stay.

Waving his hand and letting the invisible servant leave, Jiang Hao thought deeply.

One of the books in the collection of the Archmage Tingen called the Book of Saidil answers his doubts about his inability to become a god, written by Ogma, a deity known as a binder of words, a recorder of history, and a disseminator of knowledge.

From the memories of Baron Ian Albert, it is known that this is a deity who believes that knowledge is everything and is committed to spreading knowledge throughout the continent.

He personally wrote hundreds of books containing various kinds of knowledge, which were placed in the Grey Keep, the headquarters of the Church of Knowledge, and opened to all creatures who came to the Grey Keep.

Among them, "The Book of Saidir" is the most widely disseminated book.

Those powerful beings are always particularly interested in becoming gods.

"Baron Ian Albert's memory is wrong, faith is not the key to becoming a true God, authority is. ”

"He who holds authority is a demigod, and he who holds authority is a true god!"

"Two demigods who occupy the same authority are mortal enemies of each other, because there is only one authority, when one demigod completely grasps a certain authority and is promoted to a true god, the other demigods who occupy the same authority will automatically lose control of that authority, and if the demigod only occupies this one authority, they will automatically fall to the legendary level. ”

"Legendary professionals below the demigod level cannot become a demigod by occupying that authority until the god falls. ”

"The key to authority is to play, and the key to authority is recognition. ”

Jiang Hao thought seriously, what is the role, and what is the recognition?

He muttered: "If taken literally, 'playing' seems to be playing myself as some kind of god, and what I do on the Blue Star seems to be in line with 'playing'. ”

"I played the role of the main god of the heavenly kingdom who created the world and ruled the gods in mythology, so when I arrived in this world, I automatically got the authority of the creator and the king of the gods. ”

"If this is as simple as I thought, then the number of demigods in this world should surprise me. ”

Legendary professionals live for 300 years, and demigods live forever.

If it were so simple for a legend to become a demigod, then there should be a lot more demigods in this world than there would be a legend.

"So what about 'recognition', is it just as literally as it sounds, that is, recognized by everyone? ”

He thought for a moment and rejected this answer, "It shouldn't be a literal recognition, if it is, with my recognition on the Blue Star that I was regarded by the Dongying people as the true main god of the Heavenly Palace, the moment I crossed over to the other world, I should have become a true god, instead of just occupying these two powers." ”

When Jiang Hao was thinking about it seriously, he suddenly had a guess.

A demigod can hold more than one authority.

And what about the true gods in the extraterritorial void.

Do they also occupy multiple authorities?

Like Ogma, the author of the Book of Saidir, he has the title of binder of words, recorder of history, and disseminator of knowledge.

His name in this world is Ogma, the god of knowledge, which means that he holds at least the authority of 'knowledge', and his title is called the binder of words, which means that he occupies part of the authority of 'words', and the recorder of history should indicate that he also has the authority of 'history'.

Of course, it is also possible that He has complete authority over the 'word' and 'history'.

Thinking like this, Jiang Hao thought of the Lord of Dawn who was obviously hostile to him.

The other party's name is very simple and rude, and he is directly the master of the dawn.

The Lord of the Dawn is supposed to mean that He has the authority of the Dawn.

"The authority of dawn is related to the sun, it is the authority of the sun to divide and change downward?"

The Book of Saidir records that authority can be divided downward.

For example, the authority of 'Calamity' can be split downward into the authority of volcanoes, storms, earthquakes, etc., and the authority of 'Elve' can also be split downward into the authority of Drow Elve, Sea Elf, High Elf, etc.

"Baron Ian Albert's memories show that the emblem of the Lord of Dawn is a rising sun...... Suppose, assuming that the Lord of the Dawn holds the power of the 'Sun' and the power of the Dawn that splits downward, then the real reason for His perseverance in pursuing me has been found. ”
