Chapter 9 The First Floating Island
"That's a question, but it's not going to get an answer from me. Such a question, if answered, would hurt my fundamental rule of existence. โ
After two questions, Richard saw that the time divine grace on the altar was missing by more than half. The second question, although not answered by the Dragon of Eternity and Time, is also counted.
Richard then said, "I have completed my bloody journey, and according to the ancient tradition, I now ask you to grant me the right and honor to live on a floating island." โ
This is just a routine sentence, and according to the custom of the past, after this sentence, the head of the sacrificial house will be given a brand condensed by the power of time. This brand is equivalent to a key, which is a proof that you can enter and exit the floating island, and live on the floating island, and at the same time, you will have the corresponding authority to operate the floating island function.
When Richard finished his vow, he was strangely not answered.
After a few moments, the voice of the dragon of eternity and time sounded again: "Divine grace is not enough to support your request this time, add more sacrifices, or withdraw your request. โ
Richard was stunned, not expecting this kind of response at all.
Of course, it was impossible to withdraw the request, but fortunately, after opening the points exchange system, Richard sacrifices no longer had to worry. Dragons and demons are littered with sacrifices.
At that moment, Richard opened the space equipment on his body and poured the sacrifice equivalent to three top-level sacrifices on the altar. These sacrifices were originally intended to be exchanged for equipment to enrich the Akmund family's huร n system.
The sacrifices have turned into the power of time and merged into the torrent of time.
At this moment, Faust suddenly shook, and the July Rainbow once again emitted a dazzling light, and a beam of light shot out from the top of the Eternal Dragon Palace, shining on a floating island.
The floating island was originally identical to the others, but at this time, a protective shield appeared around it under the light beam, and then began to disintegrate, revealing the true face of the floating island inside. And a light also shot out from the floating island, shining on the July rainbow. The floating island itself moves slowly into a predetermined trajectory.
In Faust, almost everyone takes to the streets, or stands in front of the window, staring up at the huge floating island in the sky.
Yes, everyone is looking up, because this floating island has traveled far higher than Faust, and above all the other floating islands, and even below it, there is a whole layer of floating islands that have not been unsealed.
This is the floating island unblocked!
In the entire Fusette, only a very small number of long-lived veteran powerhouses have seen the scene of the last floating island being unsealed.
Thor was one of them, the president of the Royal Mage Society, who stood in front of the window and stared blankly at the floating island that was constantly drawing energy from the July rainbow and starting to run, unaware that the wine glass in his hand had already broken to pieces.
"How is this possible" Thor rubbed his eyes vigorously, always feeling that he had been deceived. However, the scene he saw clearly told him that the floating island was the third layer, and it was the floating island that ranked first in the third layer.
Thor hurried back to his room, quickly spreading out the magic paper and calculating it quickly. He really didn't believe his eyes anymore, and he had to count enough to convince himself. But after repeating the calculations, Thor felt that he couldn't even believe the number jรน.
On the altar of the Eternal Dragon Temple, Richard was also stunned when he received the golden ball of light that represented the brand of the floating island.
From the time when the old dragon said that the sacrifices were not enough, he knew that he might be able to get a high-ranking floating island, and maybe even a little higher than the floating island of the royal family. But in his vision, it would be 5-1 or 5-2 floating islands at most. I didn't expect that the dragon of eternity and time would actually give him No. 3-1.
This is indeed glory and proof of Richard's position in front of the dragon of eternity and time, but the problem is that this glory doesn't seem to mean much to him. What else can a high-rise floating island be used for in addition to being larger?
The Dragon of Eternity and Time seemed to know Richard's thoughts, saying, "This is a special reward for you, because only the first three floating islands are truly special." They have some control over Faust, and therefore have extraordinary abilities. You'll know when you set foot on the floating island. โ
"Manipulating Faust?" Richard keenly caught a key word.
"Yes. This sentence is also part of the reward for you. Therefore, striving to gain divine grace and leap to the floating island is the only way to obtain the great power of Faust. When you reach the only floating island on the first level, you will know the truth about Faust. In addition, if you want to return to quicksand, a large amount of divine grace is also the only option. Your current charism is not enough. โ
Feeling the will of the dragon of eternity and time fading like a tide, Richard hurriedly shouted, "How much divine grace does that cost?"
The dragon of eternity and time let out a low chuckle and then walked away, not answering Richard's question at all.
The altar gradually restored to its original appearance, and Richard was stunned for a moment before walking out of the hall.
For some reason, the dragons of eternity and time seem to be particularly fond of him. But Richard didn't know if this was a good thing, and if you only looked at the examples of previous people, such as Philip and Van Lin, then it was probably not a good thing. But what the old dragon gave him would always be so hard to refuse.
Outside the altar, Nolan was waiting. Her gaze at Richard at this time was already very complicated, with joy, envy, and a hint of fear.
Seeing Richard coming, Nolan said, "Richard, Heather wants to see you, she has something to tell you." โ
Richard's brows furrowed slightly. He had no crush on Sissy, the archpriest had an extraordinary interest in power and intrigue, and had foolishly hit him in the head last time.
At that time, Richard didn't know the great significance of his Space Lord title at all, and after faceless reminders, he really understood the power level and structure in the Eternal Dragon Palace. Strictly speaking, except for the gods and the holder of titles like him, the other gods and attendants are dispensable. It's just that it seems that many people, including the high priests themselves, don't seem to realize this.
"What's the matter with her?" asked Richard. He didn't have time to waste on a woman who was dispensable and not smart enough, even though she had good breasts.
"It's about Ryan, who has corrected a lot now. And she thinks that it is Ryan who is the most suitable to become a god. So Cissy wants to see you and get your support. โ
Richard looked at Nolan and said lightly, "Then what do you mean?"
Nolan smiled bitterly: "Where can we interfere with the gods? Ryan is indeed very talented, but talent does not mean a qiฤ." It's just that Cissy has already received the support of ten wealthy families on the floating island, so the matter of the divine grace tilting towards Ryan during the sacrifice should be implemented soon. โ
Richard immediately understood, and sneered: "She's using other floating island giants to put pressure on me, hehe, hehe!"
Nolan suddenly felt an inexplicable chill in her heart, and she realized that Richard was completely different from the past. He just stood quietly, and the huge feeling of oppression was enough to suffocate.
Nolan suddenly remembered that Richard had just forced all the giants to not even have the courage to fight head-on on the bloody journey, and there were rumors that he had defeated His Majesty. Such a person, not to mention the present, even in the past, how can some floating island giants be suppressed by joining forces?
Richard suddenly said, "Ryan, right? In this case, you can call him and let Heather and the other high priests come over, and discuss this matter by the way!"
Nolan opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't say a word, so he had to turn around and hurry away.
Richard was standing in the center of the main hall of the Eternal Dragon Palace, and the priests and knights of the temple saw him, and most of them did not know what to do. Some would come up to say hello, others would rush around.
Moments later, Heaty and the other two archpriests came to Richard.
Beside them, Ryan has faded a lot of youth, and he has grown a lot taller, becoming a mature and stable teenager. His appearance is more inclined to his mother, very beautiful, although he is not as beautiful as Nereus who changes into women's clothes and is a big beauty who captivates the country and the city, but he is also born with a lot of temperament.
Seeing Richard, Ryan immediately stepped forward, bowed deeply, and said, "Your Highness Richard, it is a great honor to be able to see you again. The glorious feats you have accomplished on this bloody journey will surely shine in the history of the Holy Alliance! I have made some mistakes when I was young, and I hope to be forgiven by you. In the past, many families with a long history in the Holy Alliance have given me a lot of guidance and help, and I hope to have your guidance and support in the future. โ
Richard looked at Ryan.
I have to say that the young man's appearance this time is impeccable, and he is indeed very talented, I don't know which plane he has experienced, and he is already an eighteenth-level great priest at this moment. He has taken off his immaturity and become more calm, resolute and ruthless.
The young man's words were also said beautifully, and he quietly pointed out the reality that he had won the support of many wealthy families. If Richard doesn't support him, it will be tantamount to opposing these floating island giants.
But how far has Richard's strength reached now, and although Rui's deep hatred is well hidden, how can he escape Richard's perception? Even if he really hides it from Richard, Richard will not think that a guy who dares to stab himself with a dagger at the age of only twelve or thirteen will really become docile and harmless.
Whether it is Cissy's strong suppression in the past or Ryan's positive overtures now, the purpose is actually for Richard's divine grace. It's no wonder that Heath and Ryan were always thinking about Richard's divine grace, and he was so quick to accumulate wealth and obtain sacrifices.
Before leaving the Holy Alliance, Richard alone had sacrificed as much as one-third of all the floating island magnates. After Richard was promoted to the Holy Constructor, he developed a system of exchanging points for huร n, and in terms of the number of sacrifices, he alone could overwhelm all the floating island giants.
Richard looked into Ryan's eyes and smiled suddenly.
