The 'peace talks' between the Flame and Frost City-States began.

Undoubtedly, from the very beginning, the Flame City-State had an absolute advantage.

The king was killed in battle, the marshal was captured, and even the frostwolf, who was regarded as the ultimate hole card and trump card, had chosen to surrender to Dean.

In such conditions, there is nothing left to say about everything.

It's just a repetition of the conversation in the palace of the Flame City-State.

"After retiring from the army, the Frost City-State needs to compensate the Flame City-State with 10,000 slaves including 50,000 gold coins and no less than 1,000 head of cattle!"

Monk. Blaze's triumphant voice could be heard even though Dean hadn't entered the tent.

Dean, who stood on top of the frostwolf's head, did not participate in the 'peace talks' between the two city-states, especially when the final answer had been obtained.

He was more concerned about the power of faith that had previously emerged from the soldiers and officers of the Frost City-State.

"It's not just gratitude, it's even awe?"

Dean guessed, looking down......

The condescending Dean saw at a glance the fear and horror on the faces of the soldiers and officers of the Frost City-State below.

This undoubtedly proves Dean's guess.

And this speculation was proven, and it also gave Dean a better understanding of the power of faith.

"No wonder those false gods seem to act unscrupulously - in addition to gratitude, awe can also be regarded as the power of faith, which is much easier to explain!"

Dean almost subconsciously thought of the three false gods of Quentin, Motthill, and Hokdass.

The actions of these three false gods are definitely not loved, and it is more accurate to say that they are afraid.

However, the three have no intention of changing in the slightest. And even to a certain extent, it has become more and more intense.

And the reasons for supporting these three to do so. Naturally, it is far easier to gain the power of faith in reverence than to reverence.

After all. Humans are forgetful.

Dean remembers two stories clearly-

A young man used to give a dollar to the beggar at the door every day.

The first time, the beggar was grateful, but when it became a habit, the beggar became a matter of course.

Suddenly, one day the young man did not give the beggar money, and he was immediately questioned by the beggar: "Where is my money?" ”

The young man replied, "I'm getting married, so I need to save more!" ”

"Damn. You actually gave my money to that unknown woman! ”

The beggar yelled angrily.

At the time, Dean remembered very well that he was overjoyed when he saw the story.

However, when the music is over, the essence of the story also makes Dean frown.

As for another story?

It's even more interesting.

Said to be a scoundrel who punches and kicks a person every day.

Then, suddenly, one day the scoundrel didn't punch or kick the man.

"Why didn't you hit me?"

The man asked.

"I'm in a good mood today!"

The other party replied.

"Oh, what a merciful man you are!"

The man replied gratefully.

The rest of the story made Dean frown even more.

Although I want to refute it, I can't refute it at all, because. Dean knew that was the truth.

"The power of faith in habit - what a bad nature!"

Dean took a deep breath and threw the thoughts out of his head. Narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling the progress of the 'moon'.

Eight out of tenths have been completed.

This is far more progress than he expected.

"Maybe we can get to the point of 'completion' in the face of Morbius!"

Dean thought so.

For Dean, facing Möbius with the 'moon' of the basic and advanced class is definitely hitting a stone with an egg!

Only when the 'Moon' reaches completion, will there be a chance!

That's right, it's an opportunity, not a sure win!

Because, when the 'moon' is completed, you will enter the 'secret realm of the gods', and Morbius was one of the most powerful main gods in his heyday.

It's definitely not comparable to just entering the 'Secret Realm of the Gods'.

Even now that he has been swept off the altar, Dean does not dare to take it lightly.

In fact, it was precisely because the other party was swept off the altar that Dean thought that he had a chance, and if the other party was in his heyday, he would have been completely crushed by the other party.

"Need to change plans slightly!"

Dean's gaze was once again on the top of Munch. Flame's tent was full of smugness, silently, Dean apologized to the other party in his heart.

Because, after a while, Dean can completely imagine the appearance of the other party's anger.

About an hour.

The words that should have been said in a minute, in Munch. The enjoyment of the flames was stretched sixty times more.

When the people of the two city-states left the tent, Munch. Blaze looked like he was enjoying it, while the people of the Frost City-State were depressed.

There was no anger, but there was a touch of despair.

Even if the commander of the wolf cavalry was taken off the shackles of alchemy.

Lost the king, no frost wolf.

What's the use of them if it's just one marshal left?

After all, they lost their roots.

"Get!"

Dean directly shouted the other party's name, and the marshal of the wolf cavalry raised his head to look at Dean who was standing on top of the frostwolf's head, and then bowed.

In order to survive, he has made enough concessions.

Now, naturally, there is nothing to think about.

Just grovel.

And this made the officers and soldiers of the surrounding frost city-states more and more sad, and the look of despair became more and more intense, and they were already at a loss—like an elk lost in the wilderness.

They don't know where to go.

And what awaits them is nothing more than starvation or being eaten.

"The Frostwolf thinks it should return to the Frost City-State, so it needs a contractor, and this contractor must be strong enough! Otherwise, you won't be able to handle the pressure it brings! ”

Dean said.

"What?"

Gates. Frost was stunned.

"I said, Frostwolf wants to return to the Frost City-State!"

Dean repeats it again.

And the soldiers and officers of the Frost City-State who heard Dean's words were stunned. When they confirmed the news. All let out a low cry of surprise.

The despair began to fade.

Hope appeared in his eyes!

As long as there is a frost wolf. The Frost City-State is not considered to be destroyed, even if it declines for a while, it will inevitably rise again.

"No, no! That's impossible! I disagree! ”

Monk. Blaze roared.

"Oh, then you can talk to the frostwolf!"

Dean said lightly.

And the frostwolf lowered his head very cooperatively, and his scarlet eyes stared at Munch. Flames, suddenly, let Munch. The flames retreated.

Don't say it's Munch. Flames, even if it's a general. Unable to withstand the pressure of the frostwolf.

And see Munch. The appearance of the flames, the people of the Frost City-State were extremely relieved, and some of them looked at Munch sarcastically. Flames, sweeping away the previous grievances.

"I do! I do! ”

And Get. Frost said again and again.

He didn't know what had happened in between, but he knew that this was the only chance for the Frost City-State to escape.

……

The ceremony of the contract began.

Dean took out the diamond-shaped crystal and handed it to Get. Austerity.

Gates. Frost took the diamond-shaped crystal with a little trembling palm, and then, the whole person trembled.

Four or five seconds later, Get. The frost regained its calm.

He looked up at the frostwolf. In a respectful tone, he said, "I sincerely sign a contract with you, hoping that you can continue to protect the Frost City-State!" ”

"Roar!"

The frostwolf let out a low roar.

A drop of saliva flowed from the frostwolf's mouth. Then, straight drip.

Gates. Frost couldn't wait to catch that drop.

Then...... Drink it.

When the bottom of his heart made contact with the frost wolf in front of him, Gate. A long-lost smile finally appeared on Frost's face, and he looked at Frostwolf and shouted, "Frostwolf! ”

"Frostwolf!"

"Frostwolf!"

The surrounding officers and soldiers shouted loudly one after another.

That look of worship and awe appeared again.

And when his gaze moved slightly, and he saw the figure standing above the frost wolf's head, the worship quickly faded, leaving only endless awe.

"Gat, I'll need the help of the Frost Wolf and you when facing the evil gods!"

Feeling the power of faith that had become mellow again, Dean said quietly.

He is well aware that this is just the beginning.

When the army of the Frost City-State returns to the Frost City-State, the rumors about him will definitely shake the entire Frost City-State, and the power of faith generated by awe is the focus of Dean's attention.

It is also the purpose of Dean's plan to be slightly adjusted this time.

"Willing to do your bidding!"

Gates. Frost bowed.

And from beginning to end, Munch. Blaze's face was pale, and he looked at everything in front of him without saying a word, gritting his teeth.

He knew that his original plan had fallen through.

In his plan, the Frost City-State without the Frost Wolf is a strong opponent in the middle, and with just a little arrangement, the entire Frost City-State will become the ranch of the Flame City-State.

Population, livestock, and money will be at the mercy of the Flame City-State.

Even, in Munch. In Blaze's vision, the entire Frost City-State would become a slave state of the Flame City-State.

But......

Now everything has changed.

"Damn it!"

Monk. Blaze roared unwillingly from the bottom of his heart.

But when Dean's gaze swept over, he jerked his head down.

He didn't dare to let Dean see his dissatisfaction and unwillingness.

After all, the strength of the two sides is simply very different.

Dean can easily subdue the frost wolf of the Frost City-State, so the Flame Lion of the Flame City-State is naturally no problem, after all, the two guardian beasts have been comparable since two hundred years ago.

What would happen if Dean found out about his displeasure and Dean turned around and went to help the Frost City-State?

As soon as I thought of this, Munch. The flames began to chill from the bottom of their hearts.

The previous dissatisfaction and unwillingness disappeared, and only a thick fear remained.

Monk. Flame Fear happens to Getter. What happened to Frost happened to him.

Monk. Blaze was even more scared, losing everything she had now.

After all, isn't the Flame City-State more advantageous now?

Monk. The flames comforted themselves like this,

Then, humbly, he bowed to Dean.
