I ascend to the throne of God with arcane magic.

Chapter 635: A New Attempt to Collect Faith
port of darro,

Claw Claw discovered that the merman who was captured by the sailors and was about to be sold as a slave was actually a merman royal.

It seems that it is very likely a murloc prince. He instantly realized that this is likely related to the previous riot of the murlocs near the Pearl Sea.

Hidden plot!

Thinking of this, Zhua Zhua couldn't help but feel a little excited.

However, he quickly calmed down, and after brief thought, he quickly decided to report this information to the floating city.

Although hidden plots are good, he also needs to have some ability to complete the hidden plots!
The murloc royal family that appeared was directly at the gold level of strength, which meant that this hidden plot required at least similar strength to intervene.

The players’ current strength is barely at bronze level, and if they want to get involved in such a plot, they will probably die without even knowing how.

This is a lesson that many players have learned from painful experiences.

The same is true for Claws. Although they can be resurrected as players, the loss of equipment and experience points is not a trivial matter.
For him and the Xinhuo Yujin Guild who want to try to impact the professional league, there can be no mistakes at the last minute.

Moreover, as a guard of Kane's floating city, he would also gain benefits if he reported this matter.

Then, Claw followed the sailors who were carrying the merman and reported the information.

In Kane's floating city magic workshop,

The black dragon Miraporeas came to the magic workshop as usual.
He habitually lay obediently on the operating table specially prepared for him.
I habitually covered my head with dragon wings, not wanting to see the bloody reality.
But this time Miraporeas waited a long time and did not feel any blood loss.

Miraporeas curiously stretched his head to take a look and saw Li Si sitting at the table, tapping the table lightly with his right hand, as if he was thinking about something.

Seeing this, Miraporeas wanted to sneak away, but after thinking it over, he decided to stay.

With his head lowered, Miraporeas hesitated for a moment, but still took the initiative to use his dragon claws to cut the dragon scales, and the dragon blood containing destructive power flowed into the container next to him.

Thinking that the amount should be enough for one use, the Black Dragon controlled his muscles to heal the wound. He placed the dragon blood next to Li Si and quietly left the magic workshop.

Li Si had always known about Miraporeas' actions, but he didn't care.

After all, for the current black dragon Miraporeas, his current life is both happy and painful.

Although it is a bit uncomfortable to have my blood drawn regularly, it is really nice to stay in the floating city.

It is safe and comfortable here, and from time to time I can get a lot of gold coins and jewels from Li Si's fingers.

Miraporeas loves this place!

Knowing the black dragon's little tricks, Li Si was still very confident about this mutated black dragon. He just had to keep him on the alert from time to time.

And now, Li Si's mind is focused on the information he has just obtained.

Claw, the guard of Kane's floating city, reported a new piece of information to the floating city's magical intelligent life, the Black Cat.

Black Cat thought the information was very valuable, so he passed it directly to Li Si.

Li Si was also a little surprised when he saw this information.

In fact, most of the affairs of Kane's floating city are now handled by Black Cat, and Li Si has never paid any attention to them.

For example, the commissioned tasks received by Kane's floating city guards such as Claw Claw are all collected and processed by Black Cat, and then distributed in different categories.

Of course, important matters still need to be handled by Li Si personally, but given the black cat's ability, Li Si still believes that nothing will go wrong.

However, there are always unexpected things, just like now.

Li Si looked at the information in his hand, and with his legendary mental power, he quickly found the murloc Belion Pearl in the port of Danlo below.

With Li Si's current strength, he can easily find out the background of this fishman.

What surprised him was that he had actually heard of this captured fishman.

In fact, in the game plot of Li Si’s previous life, the murlocs appeared in the main storyline very rarely.

The main races appearing in the Gaia world are still humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, etc.

Relatively speaking, due to their living environment, the mermen are more closed than other races and basically do not communicate with the outside world.

Although the tritons are considered one of the most powerful races in the ocean, this does not mean that the tritons are very strong.

On the one hand, although the ocean is extremely vast, the areas where the merfolk live are basically in relatively rich areas near the coast, but even so, the living environment is relatively harsh.

Although the tritons are powerful as a race, the countless extraordinary monsters of unknown race and without intelligence are even stronger in the ocean. No one has ever truly explored and understood all the secrets of the ocean.

Tritons are basically supporting characters in many major events, and players' understanding of them basically comes from various side quests.

The name Belion Pearl was the name of the leader of the Pearl Sea Triton tribe when the players came into contact with the Tritons in the previous life.

The racial structure of the tritons is somewhat similar to that of the western part of Fanor. They basically survive under the sea in the form of tribes or city-states.

And Balion Pearl is the ruler of several triton tribes living in the Pearl Sea, or the king of the murlocs in the Pearl Sea.

But now, how could he be captured by the sailors and become a slave?
Was it like this in the previous life?

Or is it because of the butterfly effect brought about by his appearance?
Originally, to Li Si, the conch people in the Pearl Sea were not something worthy of attention.

With the presence of Cain's floating city, those triton fishmen dare not harass Port Danlo at all. Moreover, under the guidance of the Church of the Gods, the fishmen rarely attack human merchant ships.

In other words, the affairs of the merman tribe did not mean much to Li Si.

But the black cat gave Li Si another idea.

As a magical intelligent life that followed the former legendary arcane master Sphinx, Black Cat was very clear about the [Sphinx Ascension Technique] that Li Si mastered.

It is known that Li Si needs a huge amount of power of faith in the process of mastering the [Sphinx Ascension Art].

Black Cat was not aware that Li Si had already mastered [Chaos Faith Convergence], at least he was not in a hurry to collect the power of faith in the short term, but this did open the door to a new century for Li Si.

In fact, as the lord of Kane's floating city and the favorite of the World Tree, Li Si's every move is now being watched by many powerful forces.

Once Li Si begins to cultivate believers and spread his faith, he will be noticed by those extraordinary forces.

After all, although it is convenient to spread faith in the territory, the impact it causes cannot be concealed at all.

But it’s different in other places!
Originally, Li Si planned to find a secret place in the alien space and start trying to establish his own belief system after the main storyline of 3.0 was launched.

But now, it is not a bad idea to try it among the fishmen first. In fact, although the individual strength of the human race is relatively weak, the power of faith that the human believers can provide to the gods is stronger and purer than that of other extraordinary races such as elves and orcs.

At the same time, because of the human race's stronger breeding ability, the overall strength of the human race has increased rapidly.

This is also one of the reasons why human gods can occupy the most seats in the Pantheon of the world and become the strongest pantheon.

In comparison, the intelligence of the murlocs is relatively low, and the power of faith they can provide is not even as good as that of humans, let alone orcs.

Therefore, apart from the gods in the priesthood and those related to the ocean, few supernatural forces would pay close attention to the movements of the merfolk.

This provided Li Si with an opportunity to try his luck.

After all, Li Si’s purpose was not to collect more power of faith, but to try to build his own system of believers.

At the same time, after thinking about this, Li Si had a new idea, which made him eager to act.

Generally speaking, believers pray to the gods they believe in, and the special spiritual power born from their spirit and soul is the power of faith.

But if the gods want to obtain the power of faith generated by the believers, they must be the gods that the power of faith is directed to.

Just like when the power of faith is conceived, it is automatically marked by the gods, and then the gods can guide and collect the power of faith.

This is why gods have fixed names, duties and prayers.

Although the power of faith generated in this way will contain more "impurities", it will also make it easier for the gods to absorb it, and at the same time it will also promote their progress in mastering the [priesthood] from another perspective.

But for Li Si now, such help is not needed.

After all, as an arcane master, with the help of the art of ascension, the power of faith is like the material for lighting a bonfire for Li Si.

They are all firewood, and there is no need to specify any priesthood. Moreover, Li Si, who has the expertise of [Chaos Faith Convergence], can also bypass the name of the god required to collect the power of faith through other means.

In other words, Li Si could easily construct an identity that had nothing to do with himself in order to collect beliefs.

Moreover, with Li Si's talent as the Almighty, the new identity he constructed could have nothing to do with the abilities he currently displayed.

At least on the surface, no one would be able to easily discover Li Si's flaws.

However, this was something Li Si had never tried before, and it was too dangerous to try it in a territory or kingdom.

Among the merman tribe, Li Si had no scruples at all!

And now, Balian Pearl, who appeared in Port Danlo, is the best intervention point for Li Si.

After all, Li Si still doesn’t know what the current situation is within the conch tribe.

However, judging from the intelligence collected previously, there might have been some chaos within the triton tribe, so that even Balian, a member of the royal family, was captured by the sailors.

He must have been seriously injured before being caught. Li Si also checked the sailors who captured Balian. Even with the captain, it was still very difficult to catch a golden-level murloc in the sea.

Fighting for power?

The corners of Li Si's mouth curled up slightly. If this was really the case, then the current situation of the merman tribe must be quite chaotic.

This is great news for Li Si!

Of course, we still have to bring the murloc Belion here first.

Li Si cast his gaze towards the crowd gathered on the dock and extended his right hand.

At the pier,
Hearing that a golden-level murloc slave had appeared at the dock and was being prepared for sale, more and more people who heard the news rushed over.

For them, even if they cannot afford a gold-level murloc slave, it is good to be able to come here and broaden their horizons.

But at this moment, the trace of the merman slave suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Also disappearing at the same time were the captain and several sailors.

The people who witnessed all this looked at each other in bewilderment. Some of them had strange expressions as if they had guessed what had happened. They carefully glanced at the blue Sky City on the horizon, then turned and left.

Is there some trouble with that murloc slave?
Thinking of the rumors they had heard recently in the tavern, they left much more quickly.

And now, the claws not far away did not show any surprise at all, and even had a little joy on his face.

He has received the message from Kane's floating city.

So many rewards? ! !

Zhua Zhua looked at the prompt on the system panel with some surprise, feeling a little unexpected.

This was a much greater reward than he had expected.

And looking at the prompts, it seems that the information provided was valued by Li Si, which is why there are so many rewards?

It seems that the hidden plot is indeed not simple!
Zhua Zhua had no regrets at all and was already very satisfied.

Huge profit, worthy of being the Boss Li Si!

At the same time as Claw received the reward, a message was also released to all player members through Kane's Floating City and the White Dove Chamber of Commerce.
-
[Congratulations: Player [Zhuazhua] submitted a valuable plot clue to Li Si Kane, the controller (President) of Kane Floating City, and received a gift from Li Si!]
[Reward: 3000 Kane Floating City Contribution Points, Gold-level Special Title [Kane Floating City·Swift Wind Scout]! (Details collapsed/expanded)]——

For a while, Zhuazhua became the focus of all players' attention.

As for the fact that from then on, more and more players actively provided intelligence clues to Li Si, bringing Li Si a lot of benefits, that is a story for later.
