Chapter 426 Chapter 429 Knowing
"This outcome is expected."

Leaving the City Lord's Mansion of Chiling City, the red-haired Sarui walked beside Dagon, paying attention to the surrounding situation with sharp eyes, and said to him: "Dadasi finally took back the family territory, obviously he will not give up. I just I don't understand, you know this is the outcome, why are you so outspoken?"

"What you want is to be outspoken." Dagon said: "I am now wanted, and at the same time, I am protected. For my enemies, the best way to deal with me is to alienate my patrons, and I will not give them this chance. So when facing the toban, I will say whatever it is, and say everything to the front, Reduce the chance of misunderstandings."

"Are you worried about Toban?" Surrey asked.

“I’m actually worried about everyone except my parents, including you Wind Hunters,” Dagon said. The king betrayed me, or slaughtered me to the elves, just worried that you would lose patience and leave me before seeing the results. A world without a lord, a country ruled by the wishes of the greatest ordinary person, I know it's hard to imagine."

Sari frowned tightly, slowly nodded, and said, "It's hard to imagine...I...I think that there will be no lord, Knight, in my heart. I panicked, a little not knowing what to do. I even felt scared and didn't know how a world like that would work."

"When there is no lord, the world is also running. Think about our Jiangu clansman's original In history, the ancestors lived in caves in the form of tribes. When they encountered problems, they discussed together, and the food they got was shared equally. Although there was not enough food and clothing at that time, the ancestors were still living, right?"

Sari nodded, admitted: "Yes, lords, knights and commoners are not born, the world does not need to rely on them to run."

"You're on point, lord , In fact, and civilians are not born." Dagon said: "I have two fathers, Lord Iger and weapon Master Tormund. So far, based on my age, I have not damaged their prestige?"

"That's definitely not the case!" Sari said: "The Old Partners of our Wind Chaser Group agree that you are very good, otherwise they would not leave the family and relatives in Jiangu City and come to Chiling with you all the way. City."

"But I can't guarantee that my children and grandchildren are good enough or suitable to be a lord. Suppose I become a king, such as to the level of electing a king, I must consider leaving it to Jiangu What is the future of clansman. Is it to put the interests of my descendants first, or the happiness of more Jiangu clansman. Do you know what I mean?”

“ If you pass away, to whom do we pledge our allegiance? Who do our descendants pledge allegiance to?"

"I will leave enough legacy for you or your descendants to pledge allegiance, and it will no longer be a mere flesh and blood It is a spirit and a vision, a mission worthy of a life-long struggle." Dagon said: "The heir I am looking for does not necessarily have to be a continuation of my bloodline, I value spirit, awareness and ability more. Value the true spirit of responsibility, honor, mission, etc., a leader The spirit a leader should possess. "

Saree laughed and said: "Dagon, I think this remark you said is very reasonable and ideal, but you... let me put it this way, when you have children, watch them With pure eyes, you will definitely change your mind. You are just a mortal, you are not a god. "

"Then I'm not worried anymore." "You will see that I am willing to give up being a Spiritual God," Dagon said. "

"en? What did you say?" Sari was stunned for a moment. She scratched her ears, feeling that she had heard it wrong.

"I said that God Auli would support me!" Dagon pointed to the road ahead and asked, "Where does the temple of Chiling City come from? "

"This way. Surrey raised his left hand and pointed in a direction. After Dagon returned, the Old Partners of the Wind Chaser Group discussed it and decided to let Surrey become Dagon's personal guard to ensure his safety at all times. In short, he could not be left alone. Facing the pursuit of the Spirit King or the ambush of the Mage Association. In Chiling City, Saree is an excellent guide, who can give Dagon a supplementary lesson and let him know the current situation here.

"The Ori Temple in Chiling City is very small, with only four priests, two of whom are apprentices. The current presiding pastor is Elder Phoenix Olison, who was called Dagon Olison a few years ago. "

"The same name as me?" Dagon stroked his beard and said, "Oh, see, it's the name that Oracle changed after it came down, right?" "

"Yes, he said that he is not Archbishop. In order to avoid suspicion and trouble, let's change his name." Dagon means dragon, so he changed it to Phoenix, or so. "Sari said: "Phoenix has a gentle personality and is very strict with himself, and feels a little ascetic. He is very kind to the residents of Chiling City, but his spell ability is mediocre. "

"It's definitely not comparable to the battle priest in the Infinite Labyrinth, right?" "

Surrey shook his head and said, "I don't measure it by such a high standard, but it's really average." His familiarity with classics is much higher than that of incantation. I see that when he releases incantation, his mana is unstable, and there are often problems. That's why he said this. Because of his poor spell level, the Ori Temple has not been improving and lacks income, so the development does not raise. "

"That is to say, the Ori Temple in Chiling City is poor and nothing. . "

"Yes, that's what it means." "Sari nodded," said: "Dagon, if you really want to get help from the temple, the temple of the dog tooth fortress is a better target, they have money. Not only Jiangu clansman goes there, but also some tribal people from the north. Those barbarians don't believe in Oli, probably the kind of idea that it's okay to say goodbye. They have a lot of people, a lot of money, and a lot of things. "

"Listen to what you mean, I seem to want to be a robber..." Dagon said with a smile: "No, every temple is the same to me, it's still closer to home." good. From your expression, it seems that you are not optimistic about my temple plan? "

"Indeed, the Ori Temple in Chiling City is too poor, I don't think it has as much money as my family." "Sari sighed," said: "Oli's blessing is very important, but in war, people and money are fought, and the diving technique is only auxiliary. The Ori Temple in Chiling City can neither give you money nor give people, I think it is a pure waste of time and energy. It's still summer, and there's a chance to recruit soldiers and attack Egg Island at the beginning of the fall..."

"I won't attack Egg Island this year, I have more important things to do, and I'll be with Ori related to the temple. "Dagon's expression is quite confident, which makes Surrey more and more worried. However, Dagon said in advance that things related to the Temple of Auli cannot be said in advance, and can only wait for him to see. The people of the Wind Chaser Group must be patient. And confidence." Hey, we're talking, here we are. "

The Auli Shrine in Chiling City is not so much a "temple" as it is a house for Auli's shrine. The house is not big. It is supported by stone pillars, with a flat roof shaped like an anvil above. The larger the temple, the more pillars are needed, so the number of internal pillars can be used to measure the size and power of the temple.

Two The temple of Oli with pillars is rare in the first place. From an architectural point of view, these two pillars are even a bit redundant. Below the five-meter-high roof hangs red and white banners with blue paint on them. Doctrine and simple prayers. There is a holy pool at the entrance of the temple, where the ceremony of purified water is held, just like the temple in Jiangu city. Apart from the metal plaque and holy emblem above the main entrance, the temple has no other decoration, even There is not even a statue of Ollie.

A young apprentice wearing a grayish red and white robe sweeps the floor at the door. There are two steps in total, plus a small platform. It was clean. Dagon was about to walk in when he heard a ding dong sound in the temple. I don't know if it was a bell or a chime. At this moment, an old man of Jiangu tribe with white hair and beard came out of the temple and stood at the door to look around.

Of course he saw Dagon, after all, there were only two people walking in the direction of the temple." This bit is a little unfamiliar, just came to Chiling City? he asked Dagon.

"Do you know her?" Dagon pointed at Sarui. It stands to reason that he should introduce himself and answer the old man's question, but the phrase "face to face" aroused Dagon's interest. Could this old man remember all the Jiangu clansman in Chiling City?
"Sary Dolton, how could I not know her. She came to me two weeks ago to discuss hosting her nephew's wedding. "

"en? Is Doma getting married?" "Dagon asked hastily.

"The other nephew, not Doma." "Sari said: "This is Phoenix Olison, the presiding priest of the temple. This is Da... do you want to say it? "

"I am Dagon · Olison, Prophet and Apprentice of the Aulic God, Archbishop for the Temple, Seeker, Progressor and Instructor." My other name is Dagon · Olison · Neil, and Sari will introduce me as the lord of Jiangu City - of course, it can only be regarded as the lord now, because the city of Jiangu is not in my hands. "Dagon said: "The person who had the same given name and family name with me, which one do you welcome?" "

"Welcome Prophet and Archbishop." "Phoenix bowed with a smile. It wasn't the kind of bowing that was fearful or overly respectful, just a simple gesture of greeting, as if he was ready.

"You admit it without verifying my identity." I am Prophet and Archbishop? "

"No one would pretend to be the Prophet and Archbishop of the Ori Temple, and no one would dare, especially under the Holy Emblem of Ori." "Phoenix stood up straight and said, "Although my spell ability is not very good, if someone is in the swindle of the Ori Temple, I will give my life to let him receive Divine Punishment!" "

"Don't get excited, don't give your life lightly. "Dagon said: "The temple will still have great development, and better days are yet to come. By the way, what sounded in the temple just now? "

"It's a prayer clock, an ancient artifact. It..." Phoenix hesitated, sighed, and said, "It was supposed to make a sound when it was turned, to play a piece of blessing prayer, but because of my poor care, it broke down long ago and can no longer make a sound. . This time it suddenly rang for some reason, and I sensed it, so I went out. "

"It should be to greet me." "Dagon nodded, and walked straight into the temple.

Phoenix scratched his head and didn't know whether Dagon was confident or a little proud, but he couldn't refute it, so he quickly followed. In fact, there is no need to worry, There is not much space in the temple, there are 36 fixed stone low seats on the ground, which can be said to be stone futons. There is a red fire rune steel altar in the innermost part of the temple, on which are placed candlesticks, water purification basins and ceremony. Steel hammers - these are probably the most valuable pieces of furniture in the temple.

There is a side back door around the altar, which should lead to the temple priest's dormitory and workshop. They make holy water and have no effect. Very good healing potion, very few in number, can barely maintain the daily operation of the temple. The four priests are now in the temple, and they are full of energy, but they don't look very strong, and the priest's robe is a little hollow. Dagon's eyes are from Swiping over them, they saw a wheel clock on the floor at the corner of the altar table. It rang again.

"It feels like it's calling me. "Dagon smiled lightly, stepped forward and picked it up.

This is a very historic instrument, roughly cylindrical in shape, with a stick in the center, and then a large rotating sleeve located at Above. The outer surface of the sleeve is covered with prayers, and there are some short rods that stick out at the bottom. With one hand on the handle, the short rod can be fiddled with the thumb to make the sleeve rotate. Inside is the structure of the music box, so when it rotates, Can play certain tunes.

Dagon spins the slide, the mechanism inside is broken, it can only make rattling noises, and the rotation is not smooth. Phoenix said: "It usually breaks like this. Yes, I've always wanted to repair it, but I don't have any blueprints. I'm afraid I won't be able to assemble it once the parts are disassembled. I also don't know why it beeped just now. "

"I said it because I came." Dagon opened his sense of dragon, focused his attention on the prayer clock, and saw the internal damage. After that, he used the word rune to adjust the position of the parts and put them back to their original positions. However, the internal damage did not Not only the parts are misplaced, but also worn and partially lost. This is not something that Yongzi rune can fix.

But to make it sound, to fix it, this is not Dagon's idea, but Aoli's Decision. Just after Dagon placed the parts, a Holy Power was transmitted to the inside of the prayer clock through Dagon's hand, and the strong light it radiated made Dagon have to put away the dragon sense and move his eyes. After that, the prayer clock It started spinning on its own, ding ding dong dong playing music.

Phoenix paused, smiled and clapped his hands like a happy child: "Huh? All right? All right! It's this voice, it's been a long time since I... Wait, why is there a post? ”

The bell of the prayer is not very large, and it can only play a short paragraph, mainly the classic repeated paragraphs of the prayer ceremony. But Oli did not want to wait for the update, and directly played the full text, the whole piece” The soundtrack of "Blessings and Prayer" played very smoothly from the Prayer Clock. Phoenix stared wide-eyed, and the other three priests were also very surprised. However, they quickly took out the holy symbol and prayed and thanked the god Ori.

"Give it back to you. "Dagon handed the bell to Phoenix, and it was still ringing. Fortunately, it wasn't too loud, and the music was beautiful and gentle, so it wouldn't be annoying, just ring it. Dagon didn't know how to make it sound. Stop, just don't mention it and let Phoenix do his research.

"Thanks, this...is this a Divine Vestige? "

"There are not so many Divine Vestiges, it can only be said to be an application of the dive technique. "Dagon said: "You know my name, so do you know my current state?" I am a wanted criminal for the election king and the current lord of Jiangu City, Levanke. The Spirit King also wants to arrest me. Do you know that? "

"I heard it." Saree and her comrades in the Wind Hunters are praying with me for your safety. Toban fief lord also expressed a similar meaning, I hope I can let Aoli God rescue you earlier and regain your freedom. Sorry, my ability is limited. Although I have accepted their wishes, I cannot help them realize them. "

"Thank you." "Dagon patted Phoenix's shoulder. Although a youngster patted an old man on the shoulder, several people present did not feel inappropriate, but felt that it was very normal in their hearts, even a kind of encouragement and honor. Sari scratched his beard and raised his head. Glancing at the sacred emblem of Oli, I finally began to understand a little.

"The witness of the great god Oli, let me just say what I mean. I'm here to take over the Oli Temple, from here to the whole world, all the religious powers of the Oli Temple will begin to converge and concentrate on me. New teachings will supersede old ones, and the role, role, and work of temples will change significantly. If construction of a New World were to begin, the Temple of Auli would be at the forefront. ”

Several priests looked at each other in blank dismay, and then looked towards the Ori symbol hanging directly above the altar. The hammer, shield, and anvil motifs did not respond at all, as if tacitly acquiescing to Dagon's statement Perhaps the mana stored in it was not enough, so it failed to attract Olison's attention? Phoenix muttered a little inwardly: Is this Dagon · Olison, nicknamed Lengtouqing?

"boasted shamelessly! " A younger priest stood up, shook his head at Dagon, and said, "Your words are really vicious, they are full of blasphemous words, I can't accept it! The temple of Auli..."

"Oli's temple, Ori has the final say." Dagon interrupted him and said, "Don't get me wrong, I came here not to be a robber, but to reason. My actions have been approved by Oli, But he doesn't know all the details. I promise Oli to explain it carefully, and the best place is his temple. Here the spiritual passage is solid and stable, and there is no need to worry about other gods eavesdropping."

"Your words are getting more and more outrageous!" The young priest clenched his fists and said, "Please leave the temple and don't desecrate this place!"

"No , Tachik, don't be in such a hurry, I want to hear what he has to say." Phoenix looked at the prayer clock in his hand and extended his thumb to stop it. He looked towards Dagon with piercing eyes, a kind of excited rays of light flickering in it. "I feel like I need to listen and listen carefully. It's the first time I've had this kind of excitement in the 670 years I've served God."

"Host, he It came from the elite Academy of elves, maybe the spell of elves, such as the demagogic kind."

Phoenix shook his head and said, "I don't see that spell, and I have made a decision. Now, I want to hear what Dagon · Olison has to say. But I have a few requests..."

Dagon smiled slightly and said, "I want to use the temple to talk to Olison this time, not mainly to give You preach, so you have no reason to ask me. But even though it is unreasonable, I am willing to listen to your request."

"I remember the first generation of prophets asked the god Auli for advice, that When you need to open the spiritual realm channel and use Holy Power to speak, the God of Oli will respond. Therefore, no matter what you say, you must also use Holy Power, otherwise you will not be praying to the God of Oli." Phoenix said.

Dagon solemnly nodded, and said: "You are right, there is no problem with this condition. From your appearance, it seems that there is still?"

Phoenix continued: "How long have you been talking about? , how long will I stay with you to supervise you. During the period, you can't stop halfway, otherwise you will be disrespectful to the God of Oli."

"You mean to refer to the ancient continuous prayer ceremony?" Dagon thought for a while. , said: "Since the establishment of the infinite labyrinth, it seems that there has not been a particularly important continuous prayer ceremony. If you want, this is no problem."

"You can know the continuous prayer ceremony, That's pretty good as a measure of knowledge by age. But considering you're going to be doing an Archbishop, it's normal to know that." Phoenix said: "I have one last condition: let me document the whole process."

"You can't." Dagon shook his head and said, "I'm not saying you can't record, but I speak very fast, and the content of the speech includes a lot of new words, you can't keep up with the train of thought and rhythm. Record. I will complete the work, I will control the quill to write, how about you supervise it?"

"You have to maintain the spiritual passage, while observing the continuous prayer ceremony, in order to serve God Oli. Do you want to record at the same time?" Phoenix shook his head and said, "Youngster, this is too difficult, you can't keep it up. I admire your guts, but you still..."

"Thank you I know my mana level." Dagon was confident. In Time Freeze Prison, he steals elemental energy from the walls, maintains the mana cycle when his body is immobile, and uses elemental blasts and stacks to burn the alloy walls. He has long exercised his powerful mana control ability and is very confident in what he is about to do.

"Sary, please find some pen and paper, you'd better prepare more."

"I have it here, you don't need to go out to find it." Phoenix waved his hand and said: "Tachik, go to the copy room and get some more. You need the best pen and paper."

"Phoenix host, are you really listening? How old is this youngster? There is nothing on his beard ring. Merit, there is not even the logo of the official priest of the Temple of Okai. He is a madman who has come to disturb the peace of the temple and destroy the order here!"

"You are right, I want to disturb the peace of the old days. , destroying the old order." Dagon said with a faint smile: "Oli wants to hear me, so the question now is, do you want to hear it?"

"I want to hear it. If not That's right, I've tried my best to beat you out; if it's right, I haven't wasted my time and my life." Phoenix patted Tachik's forehead lightly and said as if he was teaching a child: "Listen to me. Arrangement, that's right. You go get your stuff, and I'll do it too."

Dagon asked, "What else are you going to prepare?"

"Go to the toilet." Phoenix The wrinkles on his face are crowded together, and there is no embarrassment to smile at all. "I'm older, so it's better to be safe. Although I'm willing to give opportunities, sometimes I can't trust any fart."

"Haha, let's go together!" Dagon felt that the old pastor was too much Kindly.
