14. Negotiate a deal with God

When Sean came to Momiji Town, it happened to be evening.

In a small town like Momiji Town, there is naturally no night ban, but according to the rules, the town gate will be closed at night. As for the patrol personnel, it is naturally the militia of Red Leaf Town who are in charge, otherwise it is meaningless to train these militiamen so hard.

Sean's sudden arrival really made the residents of Momiji Town feel a little panicked.

Isn't it said that there is another war, so this lord is on the front line in charge of the relevant war preparations? Why did you come to Momiji Town again?

However, for this lord, in addition to a few words of slander for the fact that Momiji Town did not build a city, in fact, the townspeople of Momiji Town did not have much resentment towards Sean, after all, the monthly blood money was still given, and it was said that even the blood money for the war dead during the confrontation with the Dabrohn mercenary group was paid. This is a large expense, so it seems that the lord is more and more generous and benevolent.

There are naturally still people who have opinions, but under the general trend, everyone still chooses to keep their mouths shut up.

As a result, Sean's arrival, although it makes people feel panicked, is not as exciting as the previous times.

"Have there been any strangers in town lately?" Dismounting at the town gate, Sean asked the townsfolk closest to him.

It seemed that because of the first time he faced the lord, the middle-aged stout man looked a little nervous and stammered, and after half a salary, he finally spoke: "There is a woman, a very beautiful woman, who said that she wants to be the priest of the temple in the town. …… The mayor agreed, and now lives in the temple. ”

Sean smiled and nodded, thanked him, and headed straight for the temple.

Along the way, he thought about how to get the benefit from this believer. It wasn't until he was in town that Sean finally remembered something.

At the beginning of the game, from the launch of the server to the update of the latest expansion, there were as many as 29 gods available for worship, including gods who fell into a deep sleep after Ragnarok and reawakened, medium gods who were lucky enough not to die in Ragnarok but were unable to recover their divine power after that, gods who ignited divine fire and obtained a good godhead and became a high godpower, and there are also weak gods who are on the verge of falling. But among these gods, none of them had a god name called the goddess of snow and winter.

As Shaun walked towards the temple, he opened the territory quest and revisited the quest.

If the historical progress of this world is exactly the same as the situation in the game. Then the god called the goddess of ice and snow and winter in the game is very likely to be unable to return to the ranks of the gods because he cannot obtain the divine power that is enough to support the recovery of the kingdom of God, so he will not be able to return to the ranks of the gods and will fall completely. If that's the case, then according to the established history of the game, this god is a doomed god.

Of course. In fact, it is also possible that no player has taken over the task, or the player who has taken the task is not strong enough. So in the end, the mission fails.

Sean was dealing with Romeo in the first place. Attempts have been made to change the course of history, which is not a good thing, because the outcome of events often becomes unpredictable. However, there are pros and cons to everything, and Sean changed the process steps, although he had to saddle Romeo with a debt of family bloodline, but he also obtained an epic weapon and a subordinate who would inevitably enter the gold level in the future. This deal is profitable no matter how you look at it.

It is precisely because of these precedents that Sean will become very important at this moment to the results of the selection of this territorial mission.

Do you want to let this goddess fall according to the established plot in the game, or do you want to help this goddess?

Sean was a little distressed.

But no matter how distressed it is, the section from the town gate to the temple in the town square. It's only a dozen minutes away.

So, Sean soon met the believer in the goddess of snow and winter.

This is indeed a beauty.

Her appearance is not very flamboyant, but she has a pair of eyes full of aura, small and slightly thin lips, and a slightly upright nose bridge, judging only from her appearance, she is not as delicate as Cecilia, nor as charming as Elizabeth, but she also has a restrained innocence, which is comparable to the two. It's just that when this believer is silent and silent, the cold aura on his body that no one can enter becomes more and more obvious.

It's like a natural self-esteem.

This beauty has long pale blue hair that hangs down to her waist, and she is only tied up in a simple bundle, without too much fancy. He was wearing a silver single coat, painted with blue rust lines like water ripples, the inner lining seemed to be white, with a high neckline, and a knee-length long-sleeved waist-cinching trench coat on the outside, all over silver-blue, the cuffs were gray-white textures, and there were buttons under the sleeves, which seemed to be the width of the cuffs that could be changed at will, and the trousers were also silver-white, but the boots were black with gold lines.

This kind of clothes similar to an officer's uniform on this woman's body did not show too much heroism, but made the cold aura on her body even stronger. Especially at the belt of the single coat inside the windbreaker, there is also a sword hilt with a blue background and a gold-edged spiral, and the scabbard is a silver-white long sword inlaid with diamond-shaped blue diamonds, which shows the extraordinary value and status of this woman.

No matter how you look at it, this woman doesn't look like a priest or a priest.

It's just that Sean, who can really be regarded as well-informed, how could he be frightened by this woman's outfit.

"Priest with a knife?" Sean's brow furrowed slightly.

If you don't speak, you can't be a living person, and the woman who broke her work directly as soon as she spoke sighed: "Do you know the way? ”

Sean rolled his eyes, there are really not many things in this world that can make him not know the Tao - of course, many disputes or matters arising from historical changes are not included.

In the normal system of arts, there are two class classifications.

The first is a priest who specializes in various divine arts, priests and the like, and the pinnacle of the status of this profession is the pope who established a sect in the name of the gods, and is known for its incomparably powerful divine arts, but this kind of profession is notoriously weak, and it is said that it is inferior to a magician who specializes in pure magic cultivation. The other type is a profession created to improve this physical weakness. Cultivating divine arts at the same time as cultivating combat skills, there are two main branches of this type of profession, respectively, the priest profession with divine arts as the main martial arts and the temple warrior profession supplemented by martial arts, but according to the rules, whether it is a priest or a temple warrior, there is no possibility of running for the Pope, and the peak of their status is the president of the Templar Knights.

The priest with the sword, on the other hand, has forcibly opened up a third way - both based on divine arts and not supplemented by martial arts.

Among all the gods and beliefs in the divine system, this is both status and honor, and it is also a profession that can be used as a criterion for judging strength - the sixth-order hidden advanced profession in the divine system of divine arts. In any system of power that the gods believe in, the priest with the sword is a very special class, and not only because the people who can receive this honor have great combat power. What's more, those who receive this honor can not only run for the presidency of the Knights Templar, but can even compete for the papal throne.

At the beginning of the game, there was a player who became a priest with a knife under the belief system of the goddess of victory, and finally he was really made a pope by this product. After that, the idiot waged a divine war against the god of dawn on the earthly religion of the god of dawn for a woman. At one time, more than seven countries were involved in this god war, just as a player. He was in no way inferior to the leaders of the ten major guilds in the game.

As for the outcome of the God War. Sean didn't know what to do, because when he came to this world, the god war in the game had just entered the white heat.

"Not only do I know that you are a priest with a sword, but I also know that the god you believe in is the goddess of ice and snow and winter." Sean's simple and straightforward opening statement was very rude, not at all the gentle tone of the aristocracy, "I even have more secrets about you and the god behind you." Do you believe it? ”

Some unbelievably beautiful women's eyes widened, which made the momentum of no one enter disappear, only to see her tilt her head and say, "I don't believe it." ”

Sean instantly felt a sense of depression that was choked.

About this goddess of snow and winter. Of course, Sean doesn't know anything, although there are some introductions to gods in the game, but it is also an introduction to high gods such as Odin, Zeus, and Ares, but in Ragnarok these gods have long fallen. To put it simply, the various gods mentioned in the big title about the gods on the official website are basically all dead, and the immortal ones have not yet been introduced, so the twenty-nine gods that the player knows about the Tao are all found by the player himself little by little.

So when this beautiful woman said the three words I don't believe, Sean really had a headache.

His magic stick tricks that he tried all kinds of spirits seemed to be useless in front of this true god servant.

"Well, since you don't believe me, let's put it another way." Sean said calmly, but at this moment, he regained a little gentleness, "Why did you ask me to allow you to recruit believers in my territory?" ”

"Because they need me." The woman said with a look of course.

"I can always ask the priests of other gods to preside over the temple if I want to." Sean whispered, "All the townsfolk of Red Leaf Town need is a priest, a priest who can help them if they encounter something that the doctors can't cure, not the priest of the Goddess of Ice and Winter, you have to figure that out." ”

"But there's no other pastor here besides me, is there?"

"That's just because I don't have enough money, as long as I'm willing to spend some money, why can't I get another better pastor?"

"But...... I don't need money. ”

Before he didn't go home, Sean didn't know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt, and after he became a family, he realized that he was now a millionaire and couldn't spend money indiscriminately, and asked the temple priest to support the temple, unless it was an important town or an extremely prosperous town, otherwise there would be no temple priest to post it, of course, except for those who are not famous or who are in urgent need of the power of faith.

This is also the reason why ordinary nobles will not raise military priests, for those nobles who are not strong enough, they can't even afford to raise magicians, let alone military priests. And for those who can afford to raise magicians, wouldn't it be better to have such a sum of money to raise a few more magicians with such a sum of money to support the military priests. Sean wants to form a corps of priests, which is not something that two priests can do.

So Sean was still a little moved by the suggestion of the believer of the goddess of ice and snow and winter who didn't want money: "This is indeed a good proposal, but it's not enough." ”

"Not enough?" The woman's eyes widened. Looks very innocent, "I have no money." ”

"I don't need your money." Sean shook his head.

"I'm not going to give you my own." The female believer suddenly tightened her trench coat, and if you dared to touch me, I would fight with you desperately.

Sean's face seemed to have a black line falling: "No, I'm not interested in you either." …… Alright, let's stop beating around the bush, the god behind you is already in the stage of falling, if there is no more power of faith to replenish it, you will have divine power burning in less than three months. ”

This time, the female believer's face finally changed.

It's just that Sean hasn't adjusted to the change in the other party's face yet. He felt an extremely terrifying and powerful coercion emanating from the female believer's body. Almost instantly, this female believer was like a storm spring, and a bone-chilling cold aura instantly took this female believer as the core, bursting out in all directions around her, and everything in the entire room was covered with a layer of frost. And the frost is even thickening.

What's even more amazing is that the female believer's hair color instantly changed to a transparent light blue. Like the ice edge hanging in an ice cave. Her eyes turned deep black. Sean watched her eyes turn from light blue to dark blue, dark blue, and finally turned into an injurable black like an abyss, so deep that it seemed to absorb her soul completely.

As if sensing that his soul was detaching from his body, Sean closed his eyes as soon as possible, and the feeling of detachment that was a little fluttering disappeared immediately.

It's just that the temperature in the room is constantly dropping. In an instant, it was a situation of more than ten degrees below zero, and it was even constantly declining, and even Sean began to be a little unbearable. Frost even began to come out of his face, and the blood in his body seemed to be frozen. Almost with a slight movement of the fingers, crispy ice fell because it couldn't bear the change.

It's only a few seconds, but it feels like a long time.

"I'm sorry." When the woman's deep black pupils finally revealed a trace of spirituality, she also saw Sean's current embarrassment, and waved her hand slightly, Sean no longer felt cold, but the almost frozen blood in her body did not improve, "My divine power is already very thin, so I can only make this shelter for you." ”

Originally, the female believer's voice had a clear silver bell voice, but now the voice that came out of her mouth had a sense of nothingness and etherealism.

"God descended!?" Although Sean can no longer feel the cold, the coldness in his body before has not been dispelled, so he is already trembling at the moment, and with his teeth that are constantly fighting up and down now, it really looks like he is afraid of something.

"Yes." The female believer, or rather the goddess of snow and winter by now, nodded.

"Can her body handle it?" Sean was more concerned about this issue.

Divine Descent, that is, the Great Descent, is known as one of the three forbidden spells of the divine arts. Players in the game use this skill,It is a sure drop of one level,Any means of relegation will not work,And if the general NPC bears this skill,,It is to die on the spot,Only NPCs with the blood of the people or the gods,Can withstand the gods and not die,But usually it will still be hit to a large extent。

"Although the bloodline is extremely thin, she does have my bloodline." The goddess of snow and winter spoke, "That's why I will choose her to be my resuscitator after I wake up." …… With her current ability, she can withstand my arrival once every six months without any sequelae. ”

Now, it was Sean's turn to be surprised.

"You do seem to know me very well." The Goddess of Ice and Winter continued, "Now that you know that my divine power can only last you for three months at most, we don't need to say any more pointless nonsense. I can only talk to you for three minutes now, and that will drain me of at least a month's power, so...... Speak your terms, mortal. ”

The goddess of ice and winter is a high god who is good at fighting, and she even almost took Ares's god of war at one point. Although her temper is not irritable and moody among the gods, she can definitely be regarded as a representative of ruthlessness and indifference, so at this moment she talks to Sean on an equal footing, which is simply an incredible thing if it is placed in the twilight era.

It's a pity that Sean really doesn't know much about this god, so he can't care about how much honor this kind of "equality" has, and his so-called "understanding" is actually all based on the help of the system. It's just that as a god stick, his performance is very good, and the goddess of ice and snow and winter does not have any extra divine power to let her squander it at will, and the god descends is already a last resort, how can there be a way to observe Sean's heart with insight.

"In that case, then I'm not going to talk nonsense." Sean struggled to calm the coldness in his blood, trying to stop his speech from trembling like this, "I need a corps of priests. In times of war, all priests and priests who believe in you must become chasers in my army, and this group of priests must obey my commands and orders, not the unrestrained freedom. ”

"And what about the benefits I can get?"

"As long as it's my territory, I can only believe in you as a god." Sean said in a deep voice, "I will deny entry to all other gods, and every city within my territory will surely build your temple." But how many believers you can win over depends on your disciples' ability, and I am not responsible for this. ”

"That is, if you need to go to war, I will have to get my followers to cooperate with your army, and in return I will gain the dominance of the faith in your territory?"

Sean nodded and said, "Yes." …… It's a fair deal, and neither you nor I lose. ”

"Under normal circumstances, I really don't lose money. But as far as I know, your territory doesn't seem to be big right now. ”

"It's just temporary." Sean whispered, "I can't have that little bit in my territory forever. And you don't have a choice right now, do you? ”

"yes, I really don't have a choice right now." The Goddess of Ice and Winter nodded, and said in a deep voice, "In that case, then our deal is established, but it is only temporary, and if I am not satisfied with your achievements in the future, I will abort this transaction." ”

"It's nature." Sean looked aware, "If your followers dislike me, then I'll abort the deal as well." ”

The goddess of snow and winter gave Sean a deep look, and then her will began to detach. The woman's eyes soon began to return to their original pale blue, and the transparent hair color began to regain from top to bottom, as if someone had poured a pot of blue dye from her head, gradually flowing downward.

It was also a few seconds later, and the female believer's eyes finally returned to the aura that Sean had seen before. (To be continued.) )

PS: Two chapters in one. …… The debt is not completed, and I really don't have the face to ask for a monthly pass, so I ask for some recommendation tickets. …… Last week's recommendation votes were simply miserable, with nearly 2,000 fewer votes than in the past.
