Chapter 237: Releasing People/World Tree Baptism
"So, sir, what is your second condition?" Faltan asked.
Since Elesis herself had no objection to the first condition, it was basically settled. After all, he only had to use a saint to exchange for a half-step god, and he didn't think the higher-ups would refuse.
"Wait a minute, I'm a very honest person. Let's finish the first deal first and then we can talk about the second one."
Rhine immediately ordered someone to bring up the two Silver Moon Elves who had regained consciousness but were still weak.
When they saw Rhine again, their angry eyes seemed to be able to spit fire, but because their injuries were too serious and they had not received treatment, they didn't even have the energy to curse.
"Your Highnesses! You have suffered a lot! I will take you home soon." Seeing the two people in such a miserable state, Faltan expressed his sincerity.
"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. What do you mean by suffering? They didn't suffer at all in my place. If you don't believe me, you can ask them what I did to them."
After hearing what Rhine said, the two became even more furious.
Yes, Rhine really did nothing but seal their Elf Corridor, causing them to be unable to use divine power to recover from their injuries, and they have been enduring the pain from severe burns.
I believe that anyone who has been scalded or burned knows that feeling that every minute and every second is a torment.
"Why, you're not convinced? Weren't you very capable when you bullied our Magic Unification Association when there was no one there before? And you even detained people by force?"
"You even dare to detain my people. You are really tired of living."
Seeing that Rhine was getting angrier and angrier, Faltan quickly came out to smooth things over.
"Please calm down, my Lord. I believe that the two princes did not intend to go against you. There must be some misunderstanding here."
"Misunderstanding? I don't think so. Do you want to ask them if there is any misunderstanding between them?"
When Faltan looked at the two of them, he found that they both turned their heads away, and it seemed that something unpleasant had really happened.
"I can tell you two that I gave her the Life Essence, and I still have a lot in my pocket. I also know the location of the Fountain of Life. How about you come and make a deal with me?"
"Sir, let's get back to business." Faltan changed the subject.
Because he didn't know what happened, he couldn't continue to make excuses for the two. What if they really did something to annoy Rhine? His excuses would be like adding fuel to the fire.
"Okay, but I've changed my mind now."
"If you want to redeem these two people, in addition to the two conditions at the beginning, you also need to pay for my mental damage, medical expenses, lost wages, follow-up treatment expenses, nutrition expenses, as well as my work fee, magic power loss fee, and mental compensation."
"Oh, yes. And the cost of your rescue, accommodation and transportation. After all, if I hadn't brought you two back and provided you with a comfortable environment, you would probably be dead by now."
Rhine was not lying. The center of the nuclear explosion was still filled with extremely high concentrations of nuclear contamination. With the two of them only being able to breathe in but not out at the time, it was impossible for them to resist the harm caused by the radiation.
"You..." One of the Half-Step God Realm uttered a word with difficulty and then fainted again.
"Isn't what I said the truth? If I hadn't brought you back, in your current state, even an ordinary person could have hurt you, right? Come to think of it, I haven't even collected protection money from you yet."
"Don't you agree?" Rhine analyzed to another Half-Step God Realm expert who was still conscious.
"Who are you?" The conscious Half-Step God Realm stared at Rhine, wanting to know his identity.
From the moment the Silvermoon Elves adopted negotiation to rescue the two of them, he knew they had hit a wall.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Are you planning to retaliate against me later? Then I'm always welcome to do so~" Rhine said, meeting the other person's gaze.
"No, no, the two princes just didn't understand the situation. I believe that after explaining it to them, they will apologize for their recklessness."
"And the Queen has already issued an order for the two princes to return to Silver Moon Forest immediately. New princes will come to take over their jobs."
"I just want to know who you are?"
"Your Highness, he was the one who broke into the church six thousand years ago and forced the church to bow down. Just now, the Queen has ordered that we must never make enemies with him. He has the ability to break into the church, and he also has the ability to break into the Silver Moon Forest, so please don't provoke him again." Faltan whispered in his ear.
After hearing that it was this fierce man, the Half-Step God Realm stopped talking and silently closed his eyes. He knew that the beating was in vain.
No, I was lucky to be alive. After all, with that person's temper, he really dared to kill.
"My lord, we have no intention of becoming your enemy, and we will never retaliate afterwards. This is an order from the Elf Queen herself."
"In addition to the conditions mentioned in the negotiation, we will also present a generous gift to apologize to you. So please tell me your second condition. As long as we can do it, we will try our best to meet it."
Faltan expressed goodwill to Rhine on behalf of the Silver Moon Elves.
"No rush. Let's complete the first transaction first." After saying that, Rhine threw the unconscious Half-Step God Realm expert to Faltan.
Since the other party is still sincere, he cannot lose his manners.
After Faltan hurriedly caught it, he began to use his spiritual power to heal the injuries of the Silver Moon Elf.
"Okay, the first person has been returned to you. According to the agreement, she is mine now."
"Why are you still standing there? Come here quickly." Rhine reminded.
The elf girl first looked at the unconscious Half-Step God Realm warrior, then looked at Faltan, and finally slowly walked behind Rhine.
"Sir, can we start the second transaction?"
All Faltan wanted now was to quickly get back the two Half-Step Gods and then claim credit from the Silver Moon Elf Dynasty. Now that Elesis was gone, all the credit would go to him alone.
"What do you think I should ask them for?" Rhine asked the girl behind him.
"What do you lack? Money, equipment, magic or rare treasures?" the girl asked.
"When I think about it carefully, I seem to have everything I need." Rhine touched his head, feeling a little confused.
For him, who had taken over the entire High Elf Secret Realm, he was now extremely rich. He even felt that even the treasury of the Silver Moon Elf Dynasty might not be as rich as him.
"By the way, I have a disciple at the apprentice level. Is there anything he can use?"
"How old are you?" the girl asked.
"Over four years old, what's wrong?"
"It's not too late. You can ask them for a spot in the World Tree Baptism." The girl suggested.
"What is that?" Rhine immediately became interested after hearing it.
Although he didn't know what it was, based on his many years of experience reading novels, it must be an event exclusive to the protagonist!
"Do you know about protection?" asked the elf girl.
"I know. Isn't it the blessing from the world that everyone receives when they are born? Some people's blessings are skills, some people's blessings are talents in a certain field, and some people's blessings are enhancements to a certain state." Rhine replied.
"Yes, generally speaking, everyone's Divine Protection is determined at birth, and most people have one to two Divine Protections."
"Hmm?! Something is wrong! Speaking of which, my friend, Jia Hu Ni!" Rhine said depressedly.
Although he told his aunt that he had more than 12 protections, except for the 1 protections of the Eternal Artifact, he didn't seem to have any protections of his own! This is so strange! Generally speaking, even ordinary people should have !
"Um, is there a situation where there is no protection at all..."
"Have."
"Then are these people who are not blessed by the world the ones abandoned by the world?" Rhine asked.
"Not really. The world never abandons anyone. The lack of protection can only mean that the protection bestowed by the world is too powerful. It takes some time to awaken."
"I feel relieved when you say that." Everyone else has the Divine Protection, but he doesn't. He feels like he has lost a billion. "Could it be that the baptism of the World Tree is related to the Divine Protection?"
“Well, the World Tree is connected to the origin of the world. People who are baptized by the World Tree will most likely be given new blessings, and the more talented and qualified people are, the more blessings they can obtain.” Elesis explained.
"!!!"
"The higher the talent, the more blessings a person can get?" Then he would make a lot of money! Rhine was curious about how many blessings he would get if he upgraded his talent to [Sainthood] and then received baptism!
"How many people have washed out the most protection in the past?"
"I remember it was about 8." Elesis replied after thinking for a moment.
“Impossible! According to the Silver Moon Elves’ own records, the most people they had were no more than four.” The Half-Step God Realm expert who had been silent all this time suddenly interrupted.
"Really? It seems that the bloodline of the high elves has weakened to such an extent." Elesis replied.
In the era of high elves, most people could awaken three to four blessings after being baptized by the World Tree, and the most people could awaken eight at once. But in modern times, if one could awaken more than one blessing at a time after being baptized, he or she could be called a genius.
"Wait, even though my apprentice is not an elf, can he still be baptized?" Rhine asked.
"Yes. During the High Elves Era, anyone who wanted to be baptized could apply to the dynasty, regardless of age or race. But now the Silver Moon Elves seem to have only given 20 places to the outside world, and the age must not be over 6 years old." Elesis replied.
"Six years old? This isn't the age of a Silver Moon Elf, is it? If it were a human, it would be around 6 years old."
"No, it means within 6 years after birth." Elesis shook her head.
"Why?" Rhine was puzzled.
“Because the earlier you receive the baptism, the better the effect. After the age of 6, the effect begins to be greatly reduced. Moreover, the baptism place is located inside the World Tree. Considering the importance of the World Tree to our Silver Moon Elves, do you think we would let outsiders in without any worries? So we simply limit the age to 6 years old.” The Half-Step God Realm expert of the Silver Moon Elves explained.
"That's even more strange. If you're afraid of sabotage, why not just not let outsiders in? Why do you have to set aside 20 places for outsiders?"
Seeing that the Half-Step God Realm expert didn't say anything, Rhine thought there was some unspeakable secret.
Then Elesis explained for him. "It's a matter of attitude."
"The Silver Moon Elves are no longer the strongest race in the world, or in other words, they are no longer the protagonists of the era. Giving 20 places to the outside world is just a gesture of goodwill to the overlords of this era (humans)."
"Because there are not many places available, these 20 places are basically divided up by the major world hegemons. It can be said that the children who can come to receive the baptism of the World Tree are almost all the most talented people in each force. If nothing unexpected happens, these children will become the future rulers of their respective forces."
“In other words, almost all of today’s human leaders have been baptized by the Silver Moon Elves’ World Tree. It is precisely because they know the benefits of this that they have to maintain a good relationship with the Silver Moon Elves in order to allow their descendants to receive the baptism. I have to say that the queen of this generation is a very far-sighted person.” Elesis said with emotion.
The identity of the Silver Moon Elves is actually quite sensitive. Not only are they "remnants of the previous dynasty", they also hold a large number of troops, which is a huge threat to the overlords of this era, humans. If the Silver Moon Elves had not been constantly showing goodwill to the human leaders, and had been hiding in the Silver Moon Forest for so many years, rarely moving around in the outside world, they would probably have been stared to death by humans.
How to say it, whether it is the demons, orcs, demi-humans, elves, dwarves and other alien races, their existence can only continue because it is in the interests of mankind.
The demons are of course very good, the orcs and subhumans are also excellent laborers, and the forging skills mastered by the dwarves are beyond the reach of humans. Every race has a definition for humans, and the Silver Moon Elves must also find a definition for their own existence. Otherwise, they will not be able to continue in this era that belongs to humans.
"Okay! The second condition is that I want two places for the World Tree baptism." Rhine said directly to Faltan.
He wanted two because one was for himself and the other, of course, was for Irena.
"Impossible. These 20 places have already been reserved for 10 years later. Giving you one would mean forcing one out at the risk of offending someone," Faltan refused.
"Is what he said true?" Rhine asked Elesis.
"It is indeed true, but he said that those are the places for the outside world. In fact, the Silver Moon Elves still have 80 places, so they are precious only relative to humans. You can definitely ask for a few more."
"Elesis, which side are you on!!!" Faltan said dissatisfiedly. Now that everything has been revealed, how can we talk about it from now on?
"Why are you yelling so loudly? Of course she's mine, is there any need to ask?"
Elesis spread her hands innocently.
"I want 6 places. Don't even think about letting you go if you have one less!" Rhine said firmly.
"No, that's too many. You know, we only have 20 places open to the public each year. You've already taken up one-third of the quota. Giving you two is already our biggest concession."
“No need to talk further. Six is six. Just agree to it.” said the Silver Moon Elf who was half a step into the divine realm.
"Ah, this, Your Highness..." Faltan was speechless. What kind of people are around him?
A "traitor" and a bad teammate. The former immediately revealed his wealth. The latter was even more outrageous, and even agreed to talk, so what was the point of his negotiation? Was it just a formality?
“I will allocate two places to him from my clan’s quota and two places from his clan’s quota respectively. Together with the original two places, it will be exactly six.” said the strong man who was half a step into the divine realm.
"Thank you boss for the four places. Boss, I am dying. Boss, I am in poor health." He just mentioned it casually, but he didn't expect the other party to actually agree.
Under 6 years old, no, it should be within 6 years of birth. Then he, Irena, Hedgehog Head, and Ivan undoubtedly meet the requirements, but I don’t know how Lingyun and Huangmao, who were born in the infinite world, are, after all, they have been using adult bodies from the beginning.
They have always been busy with the affairs of the secret realm. Although they did it voluntarily, Rhine does not think that this is something they should do for him, so the baptism of this world tree can be regarded as his thank you gift to them.
Since the other side was so straightforward, Rhine didn't want to continue to embarrass them, so he lifted the restrictions on them.
After the divine power of the Half-Step God Realm expert was restored, his injuries were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye. In less than 20 seconds, his whole body was restored to its original state. If the clothes he was wearing were not still tattered, Rhine would have thought that he had not been injured.
It seems that the animation is all a lie. The recovery magic cannot even repair the clothes. No, this is not the point. The point is that the Half-Step God Realm strongman has begun to show the power of God. As long as he does not die on the spot, he can recover in almost no time. This is the horror of the God Realm.
After recovering from his injuries, he looked at Rhine again, then left with the other Half-Step God Realm on his back. "You discuss the remaining details with him here. I'll take him back to heal his injuries first."
After saying that, he walked out the door without looking back.
"Boss, come and visit us often when you have time."
After hearing Rhine's words, the man on the other side staggered and quickened his pace to leave.
If possible, he never wanted to fight against Rhine in his life.
"Okay, let's get into the details. When is the earliest the baptism can take place?"
Rhine let the opponent go so readily. Isn’t he afraid that the opponent will go back on his word?
