Uplifting Journey

In the resplendent temple, every pillar and every stone slab has mysterious and complicated lines, exuding a bright but not dazzling strange light.

In the core hall of the temple, where there is no shadow and the size and distance cannot be discerned, there are seven god seats with different styles.

Four of the divine seats are temporarily vacant, and currently only three gods who have completely given up their own kingdom of God and reside in the source of holy light are sitting on their seats.

At this moment, the gazes of the three gods were focused on the open space in the center of the hall, where a three-dimensional image was floating - a paladin in white armor in the sky shrouded in clouds and mist, facing a head with wings spread wide as if to cover Huge dragon of the sky.

The angle of view of the image is fixed not far behind the young paladin, and a corner of the angel's light wings can be vaguely seen at the edge of the angle of view.

The huge red dragon with a body length of hundreds of meters took a deep look at the confused paladin, then raised his eyes to look at the angel at the source of the image.

The god sitting on the most central seat in the middle tilted his head slightly, and stroked his long beard with his right hand supporting the armrest of the seat - from his point of view, the red dragon seemed to be looking through the three-dimensional image and He looked at each other.

The red dragon, who observed the angel for a while, retracted his gaze, then turned straight and waved his dragon wings, and disappeared from the screen in an instant, leaving only the young paladin standing in place and talking to the frozen cloud.

This is because the red dragon left without delay after implanting the simulated illusion and a large amount of information into the soul of the paladin.

"This ability to manipulate the soul is too terrifying." After seeing the paladin Arthur being transferred back to the earth after a short one-man show, the god sitting on the first throne on the right side of the main seat shook Shaking his head, he waved away the image showing the avenue outside Tallinn.

This deity has short, neatly trimmed blond hair, and a pure black robe under his rigid face. With his right hand, he rubbed the cover of the law code held in his left hand, staring at the surface of the law code with black background and golden patterns, and said slowly: "This The red dragon named Kasa has the ability to easily dominate other people's souls, and ordinary magic can't stop her at all.

"If she becomes a god, this distortion of the soul's thinking will even reach the level of the real name, resulting in irreparable and permanent changes. Imagine this scene-she flies over a city, whether it is a king or a peasant, Thousands of human beings stopped their work at the same time and knelt down to express their loyalty and respect

"Don't you think that such an existence is too dangerous?"

Hearing the solemn words of the God of Law, Tyre, the god of justice and courage on the main seat, and a middle-aged man with a long beard touched the handle of the war hammer leaning on the armrest of the seat, then coughed and looked at the other side seriously and said: "Mandel, I can understand your concern about the God of Justice. After all, you have inherited part of his priesthood, and your consciousness is quite closely related.

"But in the past, we have fought against the terrible conspiracies of evil gods many times. Compared with those evils who often use lies and illusions to deceive and distort the whole world, the red dragon Kasa who has not made any extraordinary actions is not worthy of vigilance. As a lawyer The god of law and contract, you can't take the lead in violating your own principles."

Mandel was stunned for a moment, then pressed the code in his hand and nodded bluntly: "Sorry."

When Tire responded with a nod of his head, the female god on the other side of the hall, who had pondered for a while—the god of joy and kindness, Aedas, said: "Look at the completed copy of the "Magic Web Contact Rules and Guidance" that Arthur received. "Plan", Red Dragon Casa told us this, is he trying to borrow our power to seek the priesthood of the God of Magic? He wants to trigger a war of gods?"

Tire, who was not very used to the narrative style of the Red Dragon's documents, re-examined the information that the young paladin Arthur had obtained from the Red Dragon, then shook his head and said: "The above is just to improve and supplement some of the functions of the magic net. In theory, These changes to the Weave can be done without the Magic Portfolio.

"Of course, there is no way for these actions to bypass the lady who manages the magic net. Without her approval, it is impossible to carry out this plan."

"It is impossible for Mystra to allow other existences to intervene in the magic net," the goddess Edas shook her head, "We all became gods at the turn of the last era, and both the magic net and the god of magic are far ahead of us. In the ancient fog of history shrouded by the gods, what happened before and after the destruction of the Great Arcanist Kingdom is not that simple."

While Till was thinking, Mandel took over the topic and said: "Look at the plan about the magic net in conjunction with the "Productivity", the Red Dragon has a very thorough understanding of our expectations, and he directly pointed out the problem." The key is that Morrigan is not wrong at all."

After a pause, Mandel stared at the God of Justice and asked him: "Arthur's special state can indirectly reflect the divine inclination of the red dragon Kasa who came into contact with him, so what is your judgment, Tyr? This person from Is the existence outside the crystal wall system with unknown purpose really credible?"

Till pondered for a while, then knocked on the armrest and said, "There is something I have never told you, and I will tell you now, you'd better not spread it—even to those four who were absent."

The two gods next to him were stunned, and then they all showed serious expressions and listened carefully.

"After reaching godhead level 19, which is the peak of powerful divine power, you will learn some secret knowledge from the origin of the world behind the godhead."

Tyre was thinking about his words, but recalling the scene of touching the origin of the world after he was promoted, he couldn't help showing a hint of shock on his face: "You all know that compared to increasing faith and expanding the field of priesthood, raising the level of godhead is the best way to promote a god. difficult obstacle."

Eddas nodded involuntarily—the new gods whose age did not exceed one era were basically the lucky ones who encountered the fallen gods in the catastrophe of the saints at the turn of the era, and their godheads were basically picked up off the shelf. It has been a long time, and the improvement of the godhead level has been negligible for some reason.

Well, the eldest Tyr can't be counted among the lucky ones - he was a mortal who comprehended the Holy Flame, directly beheaded the evil gods and forcibly seized the godhead.

"Actually, the total number of godheads in this crystal wall system is limited." Tier's next sentence made the two gods look shocked. "If there is no spare godhead for the world to allocate, no matter how a god manages and carves, he The godhead level cannot be improved

"So in the same period, there are always only a few gods at the peak of powerful divine power - if you don't kill a reigning god, such as me, there will be no extra godheads in this world to support other gods to advance to this level.

"The virtual godhead possessed by the demon lords in the abyss area is also counted in this system, which is one of the fundamental reasons why the gods have been fighting the eternal war with the abyss area."

Tilton paused, hesitated for a moment, and then sighed: "The next thing is partly speculative, let's just say that if you want to advance to Godhead level 20, basically you have to use all the powerful divine powers, and even all the gods. Godheads can only be reached when they gather together, so it is not an exaggeration to call it the highest and the only one.”

Mandel and Edas showed shocked expressions at the same time—is it necessary to sacrifice all the gods to achieve a supreme existence?

However, the things that shocked the gods were not over yet, Tier stroked his long beard and continued: "Theoretically, only the supreme gods who have reached the godhead level of 20 have the ability to take the initiative to cast avatars across the crystal wall system and pursue higher realms. So you guys Do you understand why I attach so much importance to the new outsider, the Red Dragon Casa?"

There was a long silence in the hall of the temple, and the eyes of the gods who looked at each other were flickering, and they didn't know what they were investigating and calculating in private.

After a long time, Adas said with some hesitation: "Existences like the Supreme God go to other crystal wall systems, don't they want to seek more supreme godheads? In that case, the dragon god Aio and the red dragon Casa."

Aedas didn't go on, but her meaning was obvious—could each of those outsiders come here with the idea of ​​slaughtering all gods and seizing all godheads?

Till shook his head slightly: "I have been paying attention to this aspect since I knew about it, and I can say with certainty that the outsiders who came to this crystal wall system on their own initiative are not limited to the Dragon Clan, but These suspected targets so far have shown no inclination in this regard."

Mandel, who had the shortest time to become a god, opened his lips slightly, and the expression in his eyes was no longer surprise but horror: "The incarnation of the Supreme God. There are more?"

"Who knows how many epochs this crystal wall system has gone through? How many secrets are hidden?" Tyre, the God of Justice, laughed at himself, "Although I have reached the peak of powerful divine power, in the eyes of those ancient gods, I am only Just an ignorant child."

After a moment of emotion, Tire thought about it and said: "Not to mention, the God of knowledge, Oghma, behind the city of Tallinn that the Red Dragon Casa went to, is a very, very old god, even a known god. The oldest group of gods in history.

"I'm really curious about the contact process between these two. Let's carefully observe the movements of Tallinn City through Arthur, maybe there will be unexpected gains."

Mandel and Edas on both sides of the hall looked at each other, and then they turned their gazes to the main plane in the material world.

In the silent hall, Tire once again browsed the messages forwarded by the apostle of the Holy Spirit, the God of Justice, and left by the red dragon to Arthur.

From these logical and rigorous documents, it can be seen that some of the Red Dragon's thinking tendencies indirectly prove that their previous observations and judgments on the Red Dragon did not have too much deviation.

Tire diverted his attention and looked at the plane where the red dragon first appeared, and the elf race that was developing in full swing—since he noticed the existence of the red dragon, he deliberately strengthened his observation of all aspects of it, He almost lost a vote for the pastor to go to the elves to preach.

"It would be great if human beings were united like elves." Based on the development of elves, Tire had a deeper understanding of what was expressed in the materials of Red Dragon, "From the contact between Red Dragon Casa and elves and these materials, she reliability is still low.

"In the catastrophe of the saints at the turn of the era, an existence like her is far stronger than us. The cooperation is worth promoting, but after all, the attack on the magic net is too wide-ranging, so we need to think more carefully about the specific actions."

Thinking of the difficulty of Mystra, the goddess of magic, Tyr couldn't help but feel a little headache-if ​​he couldn't convince the other party, would he just kill him to snatch the priesthood of magic? This is not in line with his righteous way.

Or after the cooperation is really reached in the future, let Red Dragon have a headache.

In Tallinn City, the Holy Land of Knowledge on the main plane, Cheng Bin, who was searching for knowledge that was not kept secret enough, finally came to the Temple of Knowledge at the core of the city.

The most important temple of the God of Knowledge on the main plane is similar to other places in Tallinn City. It also looks like a tall tower, which is actually very inconspicuous at first glance.

Moreover, when it was declared to the outside world, it did not claim the name of a temple first, but was located here as the largest and most complete library in the world.

Except for some believers of the God of Knowledge who came to worship, there were no guards at the foot of this plain-looking tower of knowledge made of blue-black stones, not even a priest of the God of Knowledge could be seen.

Outside the blue swirling halo at the entrance at the bottom of the tower, only some bards who believed in the City of Knowledge were spontaneously promoting the greatness of this god.

Compared with Morrigan, who allowed the church and believers to create a metal statue of Gundam and put it on the highest point of the city, the God of Knowledge in Tallinn is extremely low-key.

Not to mention the sculptures showing the incarnation of the gods in the world, Cheng Bin walked around the tower of knowledge, but did not find much specific deeds about the god of knowledge in the descriptions recorded by various churches of knowledge on the tower.

Apart from the name Oghma and some areas of priesthood, the world knows very little about the God of Knowledge.

For gods of faith who are keen to spread the name of gods and spread teachings, the behavior of Oghma, the god of knowledge, is obviously a little bit abnormal-although there is nothing to do, there are gods regardless of churches and believers .

"Is there any special purpose for deliberately hiding it so deeply and appearing so low-key?" Cheng Bin pondered a little strangely, "Even in such a world environment, the saying 'knowledge is power' is still very important. Mastering the field of knowledge The spirit of God is not simple but also normal."

After all, besides the original soul algorithm, he was able to leapfrog and crush the enemies he encountered all the way, didn't he also rely on the power of various knowledge from elements to real names?

Cheng Bin, who inspected the tower of knowledge, learned a lot of knowledge about the magic power of runes just by analyzing its externally exposed operating system.

There seem to be endless mysteries hidden in this tower of knowledge, and even with Cheng Bin's ability, he can't fully resolve it in a short while--without violent demolition to crack it.

"I'm not here to find fault. For the time being, I hope the priesthood domain of the God of Knowledge doesn't conflict with what I planned."

Thinking so, Cheng Bin glanced at the teachings of the Knowledge Church next to the entrance of the Tower of Knowledge and the description of the internal situation of the tower, and then walked towards the unguarded space-time vortex in the center of the gate.
