Black Beast Lord, start by capturing the Dark Elf Knight alive

Prim seemed to be afraid that Odis would be angry, so she immediately started to explain after she finished the previous sentence. She even considered using her own small treasury and dowry to buy supplies for Odis.

It's only because King Eos is not here, otherwise he would be so angry that he would swing his knife and chop people. My little cotton-padded jacket has been worn away by someone? No, it's my cabbage that took the initiative to put itself in front of the pig so that the pig could push it.

"No, no, there is no shortage of money and valuables in Shivaash Territory."

The little princess didn't understand what this meant, but Odis knew clearly that no matter which world it was, the biggest logistical problem was not the amount of material storage, but how to transport it.

Volume 1: King of the North: Chapter 59: Turning into a snow cake or a puff, it all depends on Odis's mood

Let me put it this way, once the battle line is stretched out and the distance is too far, the amount of food consumed during transportation alone may be much higher than the amount of food transported itself.

In some cases, the ratio even reached nine to one, that is, out of ten kilograms of food delivered, only one kilogram was delivered to the destination.

This is undoubtedly a horrific loss. There are magic and monsters here, so transportation will be easier, but it still needs slaves and baggage teams to escort it.

According to the King of Eos, the losses will be borne by the Kingdom of Eos, which is a very conscientious support. If it is really given to Odysseus for free, the entire Kingdom of Eos may be sacrificed and may not be able to withstand a war.

After all, the distance between the two countries is not close.

Odis looked at the little princess with a little more curiosity about the two royal merchants. There are masters in this world. However, this is not bad. As Odis said, the Shivaash Territory is not short of gold and silver treasures, but the quantity and channels to purchase materials are lacking.

The cooperation between the commercial city-state Tiurl and the North is actually a form of buying low and selling high, which is close to plunder. In the future, Odysseus will definitely let this country know what the judgment of the hammer and sickle under one flag means.

False prosperity can never resist the iron fist of violence. If money were useful, the Song Dynasty would not have been pinned to the ground by Liao, Jin, Xixia and Mongolia in turn.

"Archbishop Eleonora, I can agree to the conditions of the Kingdom of Eos, but I want to know what the conditions of the Holy Kingdom are?"

Iwanaga Kotoko had guessed most of the situation in the Kingdom of Eos, but she didn't expect that the conditions were so few, and for Odis, none of them were unacceptable.

At that time, Odis was even ready to buy food and salt at his own expense. After all, the situation facing the Shivaash Territory was too bad. If the problem of the erosion of the black queen's dark magic could not be solved, even all the land in the Shivaash Territory would be barren tomorrow.

By then, Odysseus will collapse on its own without anyone attacking.

Fortunately, no one in the Seven Shields Alliance knew about this. No, maybe someone knew about it, but didn't tell anyone else. Because if that happened, whoever leaked the secret would be retaliated by Odis.

Unless the nations join forces, no one can withstand this consequence. In fact, Celestine, who knew the secret, intended to tell it to others, but Seraphina objected. She said that if Odis was forced into a corner and cooperated with the Black Queen, the Seven Shields, who could not unite, would not be able to withstand the army led by Odis.

If this result really happens, Celestine will probably be caught by Odis and taught a good lesson. As for whether she will turn into a snow cake or a puff, it all depends on Odis' mood.

However, a conservative estimate is that it will at least become a family inheritance.

Celestine, who is proficient in prophetic powers, obviously could not accept this result, so she chose to keep it secret.

When Eleonora saw Odysseus's gaze turning towards her, she immediately sorted out her thoughts, straightened her appearance, and said, "I will personally lead people to Shivaash Territory. If Lord Odysseus's information about the Black Queen is true, the Church can fund the construction of a cathedral in Liyue City in Shivaash Territory, and build auxiliary churches in other cities and towns in Shivaash Territory to receive the dawn light of our god Lashanda to fight against darkness."

Lathander, the god of the morning sun, Odysseus still has some good feelings and respect for this god. Among the gods of mankind, there are not many reliable gods. Lathander and the three gods of justice are both very good types.

God really exists in this world, so the church in this world is not as corrupt as described in the novels that Odis had read before.

Although there are occasional ones, they will basically be chopped to pieces by their own paladins. After all, it is a routine operation for the paladins to cast a Detect Evil spell when fellow believers meet. It is the same as Confucius' saying "I examined myself three times a day".

You don't want to be dumped? Tell me, are you into...ah, into the abyss?

"Well, sure. Then, Goudan, bah, Archbishop, what's the price?"

Odis subconsciously wanted to say, "You bastard!", but he swallowed the words back. You can't just build a church whenever you want. In a godless world, you can do it at will, but in this world, it's not possible.

Therefore, the cost of building a cathedral for his territory in the Holy Kingdom would be several times more expensive than the wizard tower he built for Astrid Flamel.

What's more, from what Eleonora said, she also planned to connect these churches through secret methods to form a huge light barrier, that is, to draw in the light of dawn.

Wow, these conditions are simply free.

"There is no price. For the survival of mankind and for the glory of the gods, our Holy Kingdom is willing to pay these things."

Eleonora shook her head. Profits? The Holy Kingdom, or the Church, exists based on the gods. Since ancient times, it has spread the faith of the gods on this continent. After so many years of accumulated wealth, do they still need to covet Odis's things?

Stop it, doing that would only bring shame on you. If this person in front of you succeeds in becoming a god, I'm afraid that when he is mentioned in the Pantheon, he will be embarrassed in front of his own gods.

Hearing this, Odis couldn't help but twitch his lips. As a time traveler, he knew best that free things were the most expensive. These were all favors. Sometimes, when you owe too many favors and someone asks you to do something, you can't even say no.

"You really don't have any requests?"

Odis thought, you better tell me something, or I will feel uneasy. Most people judge others by themselves, and Odis is no exception. He really couldn't understand why the man in front of him didn't want anything. Generally speaking, if you are given something for no reason, anyone will feel uneasy.

"If there is one thing Lord Odis wishes for, it is probably that you agree to our declaration of our god's teachings in your territory."

Eleonora smiled slightly. Although she had never heard of the saying, "A thousand-foot-high wall stands firm because it has no desires," she knew the meaning of "the sea embraces all rivers and is great because it is tolerant."

"May I ask, what is the doctrine of the Lord of God?"

Odis had not had much contact with the church in this life, so he knew very little about the God of Dawn. So he took this opportunity to learn about the difference between the teachings of the God of Dawn and the Catholicism he had come into contact with in his previous life.

Volume 1: The King of the North: Chapter 60: Is this what the Son of God is?

When Eleonora heard Odysseus asking about the teachings of her god, she could no longer sit still. She immediately stood up, walked to the window, and let the sun's rays shine all over her body.

Then, he spoke in an extremely respectful and pious tone.

“Our God teaches us that you should always be committed to helping all of humanity and its allies foster new hope, new ideas, and new prosperity.”

“You should perfect yourself and never become complacent, for it is a sacred duty to nurture new developments, cultivate what is growing, and work for rebirth and renewal.”

"Your body and mind should be fertile. Before you act, always consider the consequences of your actions, so that you can bring the best return with the least impact."

"Wherever you go, plant seeds, nurture what you find growing, and in all hearts plant seeds of hope, new ideas, and plans for a better future. See each dawn as far as you can."

After hearing these words, Odis was stunned. What the hell, is this what Western gods should look like? In his previous life, Odis's knowledge of Western mythology was probably limited to the weirdos in Greek mythology and Jehovah, the only god with a bad temper.

I have read the Bible of God, and to be honest, his son's abilities are quite poor. He walked on water, turned water into wine, distributed bread, healed people, and resurrected after death... Is this the Son of God?

To be honest, if this level of art were put in China, it probably wouldn't even be put on the altar.

These are indeed basic abilities.

Eleonora and Odysseus then spoke of what their followers usually do. As followers of Lathander, the God of the Morning, they work to rebuild, encourage the regeneration of barren areas and the improvement of farmland productivity, fight evil, and either restore civilization to its former heights or bring it to new heights of harmony, cooperation, art, and progress among races.

To accomplish this, they fight monsters to foster civilization; they plant seeds and sprouts; they encourage and aid adventurers, travelers, merchants, and pilgrims as pioneers of civilization; and they recover lost magical items, literary works, and works of art. Whenever possible, Lathanderists study, restore, and attempt to replicate, emulate, and expand upon those items they recover.

Moreover, temples and shrines to Lathander sponsor athletic events and competitions, in which people of all classes and races can come together in non-hostile competition to wrestle, hurl, shoot targets, run, leap, ride horses, and engage in a variety of other harmless sports.

The Church of Lathander also sponsors competitions for literary and aesthetic honors. The prize for such competitions is usually a prize, which may be money, a special item or artwork, or even a work of art written for the winner by a famous poet or artist. Winning a Lathander-sponsored competition can earn the winner a high status in certain circles.

What can Odis say about this kind of god? What else can he say? This is basically the most upright god he has ever seen, except for those civil servant gods in the Celestial Empire.

To be honest, if everyone in the Vatican could really do this, Otis said that everyone could believe in religion and he could establish a state religion on the spot.

"No problem. I can accept the missionary work. I just don't know if I can ask Archbishop Eleonora to personally sit in the cathedral and help me in the future crusade against the Black Queen."

"The Lord of Dawn's teachings are very good, I like them very much, I can help you spread the teachings, but if any of the believers break the law, I will not show mercy."

After learning about the teachings of Losander, Odis said he could accept them and help promote them. However, no one should commit crimes in the name of preaching.

"Please rest assured about this. I don't know the areas under the jurisdiction of others, but the paladins under my command will conduct three alignment checks on the clergy of the church under my jurisdiction every day. Once a deviation from the alignment is found, it will be reviewed."

After hearing this, Odis felt his scalp tingling. What kind of godly operation was this? If there is any pure justice in this world, it is these holy warriors.

Paladins rely on divine power to heal themselves and their companions, resist damage, avoid diseases, and face danger fearlessly. Even novices can fight against evil, while experienced paladins can use evil slash, disperse undead creatures, and cast the magic of their choice.

The passion to pursue the best, the will to uphold the law, and the power to repel evil are the three weapons of the Paladin. Very few people can become Paladins. They are pure and untainted, willing to sacrifice, but are given the power to protect, heal, and fight evil.

In a land filled with cunning nobles, evil priests, dark monsters, sinister guilds, and abominable demons, the Paladin is the last hope that never dies.

This world is divided into nine camps, and as long as you are a paladin, you must be in the lawful good camp. Once you deviate from the camp, you will lose your own power.

Therefore, the most trustworthy people in this world are these respectable holy warriors.

The alignment detection that Eleonora mentioned is actually a natural skill of the Paladin, called Divine Perception.

Divine Sense: The smell of powerful evil is like sickening poison to a paladin, but powerful good is like music to your ears. As an action, you can expand your awareness to detect such forces.

This thing can't be used for other things, but it can be used to detect evil camps, and it can detect every single thing accurately.

Wow, you are worthy of being the system-certified saint. You are awesome, I admire you.

"I think your approach is a bit too extreme." Odis thought about it and felt the feeling of having his camp checked three times a day. Suddenly, the hairs on his body stood up. Moreover, he didn't seem to be a member of the good camp. After all, the red dragon was a five-colored dragon and the big brother of the evil camp.

Well, he had to admit that he liked Cerse, but could a man who liked Cerse be considered evil? That was the question.

"That's no problem. The paladins are all very enthusiastic. By the way, do you need me to help you detect whether there are any evil parasites in your territory?"

Eleonora said that it was no problem at all, and those holy warriors had endless energy in this regard.

Faced with this question, Odis was silent. If I were detected as an evil camp, would I be chopped to pieces by the paladins on the spot?

Volume 2: Seven Shield Heroes: Chapter 61: The enemy's formation is in disarray, follow me!

By the time Prim and Eleonora walked out of Odis's room, it was almost noon. At this time, Odis finally received a prompt from his system.

The reason why they left so late was mainly because they and Odysseus had confirmed the magic contract in the presence of the gods. The good thing about the world with gods is that there are gods everywhere. If you dare to break the contract, you will be punished by gods.

"It has been detected that the host has signed an alliance with the Kingdom of Eos. It has been detected that Lilia has successfully proclaimed herself King of Lufen. It has been detected that the host's reputation in the Seven Shields Alliance has greatly increased."

"The refugee tide event triggers a hidden effect: the remnants of a fallen nation, the second wave."

"Event introduction: The Kingdom of Lufen was in turmoil because the prince killed his father and imprisoned his mother. Due to the erosion of darkness, the prince's heart became dark and evil, and the people were suffering. So after Lilia proclaimed herself queen, a large number of civilians and slaves who admired Lilia formed a huge wave of refugees and came to your territory."

"Remnants of a fallen nation: After Lilia declares herself your fiancée, the refugees' loyalty will increase by 50, their recognition will increase by 30, the chance of special talents appearing among the refugees will be quite high, and the chance of hidden talents appearing will increase."

"Second wave: Because of your marriage to Princess Huayue of the Kingdom of Eos, your reputation in the Seven Shields Alliance and the human nations has been raised to respected. The second wave of refugees has formed. The scale of the refugee wave has been increased by 20%, and the probability of the emergence of special talents has increased."

I didn't expect there was a hidden effect. This made Odis smile so hard that his eyes were crooked. This was very useful to him. Population, what he lacked now was population.

Thinking of this, Odis stood up and shouted towards the door: "Ms. Kagome, please come here."

Kagome, who had been standing at the door, heard Odis's voice, and hurried in, knelt on one knee in front of Odis, and asked, "Lord Odis, what do you want?"

She now knows the news of the marriage between Odysseus and her two princesses, and her way of addressing him has changed from the somewhat distant Lord Odysseus to Lord Odysseus.

"Take me to Alicia. I need to see her about something."

"Yes, sir. Lady Alicia should be at the martial arts arena at this time."

Kagome nodded without hesitation, then stood up and led the way. She had no idea where Luka had gone. She was a maid and assassin hiding in the shadows, so it was normal that she couldn't find her.

Following Kagome all the way through a complex palace complex, we arrived at the location of the Knights. Although Alicia was stripped of her position as the head of the First Fortress by Prim, she was still the leader of the Holy Iris Knights.

Training the Knights and practicing her own martial arts every day are compulsory courses for Alicia. In order to become a legend at her age, in addition to talent, hard training is absolutely indispensable.

Apart from Odis, who is a wallflower, Alicia is definitely one of the strongest among the younger generation in this continent.

Before he even entered the martial arts arena, Odis heard the sound of swords clashing from a distance. Odis, who was already very familiar with this, could tell at once that there should be nearly a thousand people fighting here.

The Knights of the Holy Iris are all heavy-armored knights. Although they do not have the holy light aura unique to Lillia's Knights of the Holy Rose, they have something they are better at, and that is the halo.

From the Prayer Aura that restores physical strength, to the Thorn Aura that counterattacks melee damage, to the Crusader Aura that increases defense, etc., it can be said that with the presence of the Holy Iris Knights and Alicia, all attributes of other friendly forces can be increased by about 10%.

Don't underestimate this level. It is an all-round improvement. If it is really converted into combat effectiveness, it can at least increase the combat effectiveness by half.

This is why Alicia's Holy Iris Knights are as famous as Lilia's Holy Rose Knights, who are born with holy light. As they gradually approached the martial arts arena, Odis saw seven or eight colorful halos appearing under Kagome's feet. Kagome's aura was visibly improved by more than one level.

Seeing this scene, Odis wiped a cold sweat in his heart. Fortunately, he didn't fight with this group of people at that time, otherwise, with this auxiliary ability, it would be hard to say who would win or lose. After all, his momentum is indeed close to that of a demigod, but to be honest, being able to fight seven legends is already the limit.

Alicia's halo increases all attributes of people of the same level by 10%.

After passing through the gate of the martial arts arena, the knights guarding the gate saw that it was Kagome who brought Odis over, and they all knelt on one knee to salute. This was what Alicia and Prim had instructed before, that they should treat Odis with the same respect as they would treat the kings of other countries.

Odis ignored them and turned his attention to the martial arts arena. His previous guess was correct. There were exactly nearly a thousand people fighting inside, or eight hundred to be exact.

The two most elite knight squads of 400 people under Alicia were fighting each other. They were all heavily armored knights, so when they fought, they used real swords and guns. In addition, with the several auras Alicia had activated, at most they would be injured, but it was unlikely that there would be any deaths.

At this moment, Alicia is being besieged by four masters. It can be seen that Alicia did not use the legendary level of power, and suppressed her own strength to the master level, that is, the peak of the golden warrior but not the legendary level, but already the level of transcendence.

And those four masters were all high-level gold warriors who were about to be promoted. Their professional level had at least reached level 15 or above.

Odis did not rush forward, but stood at the entrance and watched Alicia fighting with several people. Alicia had not entered the combat state before, and it had nothing to do with him, so he did not see Alicia's attributes.

And now, Alicia in fighting stance allowed him to see it.

"Name: Alicia Alcutorus."

"Position: Leader of the Holy Iris Knights/Captain of the First Fortress (lost)."

"Profession: Knight Level 23/Warrior Level 16/Lord Level 8. (This is a person with solid strength)"

"Alignment: Lawful Good."

"Favorability: 65."

"Talent: Holy Iris, Armor Repair, Charge, Seize the Edge."

“Holy Iris: You are called Iris by the world. You are noble and elegant, confident and courageous. You can activate the aura effect based on your own conduct to enhance the combat effectiveness of your teammates. (Iris blooms, how is it the old face)”
