Chapter 64 Adventurer's Guild (8)
Will you stop when you see it is better...Link sighed in his heart.
He didn't want to have anything to do with these so-called gods at all, but his identity and mission were destined to be inseparable from the gods.
"My primary responsibility is to deal with the dead. Before completely defeating the god of death, can you not cause unnecessary trouble for me? No one will like allies who only drag their backs." In Link's opinion, Malik is simply too much than his teammates. People like Yuan Ye and Finn are just stupid and hindered at most. Malik is an alliance on the surface, but privately plays the role of an enemy, causing trouble for himself everywhere, and what he does is intolerable.
The possessed believer did not answer, but stared at Link with his eyes.
"You can stand out among the many gods who want to cooperate with me because of your ability and influence on the nobles. When those advantages become shortcomings, I think this alliance will lose its meaning of continuing to survive." Link was unmoved by Malik's anger. The deliberate title he added was even more sarcastic when he said this, but he did not know that the Shadow God was also full of contradictions at this moment.
Malik believes that Link dares not violate his agreement with him. Even the son of nature cannot bear the punishment of breaking the oath, but he dare not guarantee 100%.
Could it be that this guy has noticed it? No! He is a man from another world, and the pillar is forcibly isolated from the material world by the law, and he cannot know...
Suddenly, Malik thought of Lorelai's remaining consciousness. If Lorelai really told the secret, then this son of nature would not be as simple as a lifeweaver. Just thinking of this possibility, Malik's attitude towards Link was upgraded from interest to defense, and the displeasure and murderous intent emitted were almost substantial. Even though he was separated by a thousand miles away and magic props, it could still make people shudder.
What felt this terrifying first was Bridge, who was separated by a door. His right hand tightly pressed the short sword on his waist and his left hand gently pressed against the door. Even if he couldn't hear the conversation inside, he could still feel the terrifying and weird aura emitted from the inside. He wanted to push the door in several times, but he was stopped by the fear caused by this aura.
Knowing that Malik was angry, Link still did not give up stimulating him: "The experiences and ideas of the sons of nature will directly affect the judgment of the pillar. If they think that humans do not need to exist..."
"Are you threatening me?"
"No, the fact is exactly the opposite. I am saving the fate of mankind from destruction. The gods who claim to be an alliance and claim to be important believers in humanity only care about their own preferences and short-sightedly seek to lure and fall into humanity for pleasure."
[Didn’t you tell you not to stimulate him again? Why did it get worse!] Lorelai’s consciousness exclaimed in Link’s mind, [Malik is not the strongest among the second generation, but he is the longest-standing god. He is the only god who can knock down the throne and climb up again for the second time.]
[Is that so? It can only be said that Edgar's god is too stupid, such a...] Link and Lorelai's telepathy came to an abrupt end. He noticed that the image transmitted by the audio-visual technique had changed. The half-elf changed the anger he had shown before, and smiled and promised not to pull his back again and ended his possession.
[Malik was so angry.] Lorelai warned Link. [That evil god can use any vulgar and shameless tricks.]
[At least until the ban on life flow is lifted, he will not break up with me.]
Link's confident tone made Lorelai guess, [You... Could it be that you deliberately angered him for testing this? Are you crazy? The gods in the chaotic camp are all guys with dark hearts and strong desire for revenge.] Is the son of nature specially found by Zhu from another world an idiot?
[Since I was summoned to this world, I was destined to be enemies with them.] In fact, Link had long realized his position.
No matter what he did during the period when the life flow was closed, after regaining his faith, an evil god like Malik would never let him go. Eliminating the son of nature can reduce the interference of the pillars in the material world. Even if he was promoted to a stronger priest by his own hands, he would join forces with other gods for his own benefit. As long as he did not break the balance and was not targeted by the law, the pillars that could not move freely had no way to these so-called second generations. Blocking the life flow had consumed all the energy of the pillars, and even the supply of divine power would depend on other gods.
Reading the thoughts in Link's mind, Lorelai changed his previous view of Link.
I really didn't see that this young human being, no, the young apostle had such enlightenment. I thought he was bored and insisted on his own opinion, but I didn't expect that he had already seen it so thoroughly. Yes, the special identity of the Son of Nature was destined to be enemies rather than ally with the gods. The current temporary alliance is just a self-protection behavior of the gods being cut off by the pillars due to the flow of life.
[With your current strength, let alone confronting the gods, even their electors in the material world cannot beat. Don’t think that Claire represents the sage. Her strength has shrunk significantly due to the low point of the element and my influence. She had a showdown with you that day. Even one-third of her strength was not displayed.]
[I know that the pillar blocks the flow of life, just to prevent the gods from continuing to interfere with the material world.]
As the prop master named Belloc woke up, Link stopped his consciousness in his mind and continued to communicate with Lorelai. Because of Malik's interruption, his conversation with the half-elves had to be interrupted, and now he doesn't know how to continue.
During the time when the body was occupied by Malik, the medium of possession had no memory. Belloc did not know what Link and Malik were about. His thoughts were still stuck to seeing the wearer of the son of nature's hand, which symbolized Malik's allies, and the stakes that were clearly buried in the union by night elves.
After bowing to Link, Belloke begged him to accept Bridge's proposal, "The union is in a very difficult situation now. If you lose the final advantage of magic props, you are afraid that it will not be far from completely collapse."
Defeat...is it so serious? Link is not willing to believe Belloc's words, and what's going on with this guy? As a spy sent by the night elves to destroy the union, he actually cares about the survival of the union.
"You may not believe it. The union treats me well. Compared to the early years of sleeping and intrigue, I prefer a stable life now. In my heart, Bridge is my father, not the Yatse who only treats me as a tool..."
Although it was the cunning and evil of the night elf. This might be just a deliberately designed drama, but after careful consideration, Link chose to believe it. The hidden stake that Malik had been hiding in the union was largely due to Belloc's desire for a stable and comfortable life.
Seeing Link showing a contemplative expression, thinking that he was considering whether to accept the proposal, Belloc continued to explain that the president did not understand prop making, so he made excessive demands. To maintain his position in prop making, only ordinary magic props are needed.
Link asked a question: "Is it too wasteful to ask a craftsman to make magic props?"
"As long as it is done by you, even if it is just the most ordinary prop, it will double its value. This will also help you hide your identity."
The last sentence aroused Link's interest, and would it help to hide his identity?
"You just need to make a batch of magic props in advance and let the union sell them at different locations. The goods sold can not only fund Befst, but also divert the attention of the intelligence organization."
Link roughly understood what the other person meant.
The process of making magic props is much simpler than that of strange objects and holy objects. It is even easier for him as a craftsman. Prophecy cannot predict the life weaver, but it has no effect on judging whether the magic props come from whom. As long as you rush to make a batch of them in advance and sell them in different cities, the intelligence organization will rush around like headless flies, and cannot determine his exact location.
This is a good way to avoid annoying intelligence dealers, but... forget it, let's do it. I took the initiative to find them. The camps of other organizations are either order or chaos. They are not suitable.
"If it's just a magic prop, I can agree."
After receiving Link's nod, Belloc breathed a sigh of relief. He had no idea that he was possessed by the gods, so he hurriedly opened the door and invited Bridge, who was waiting anxiously outside, in.
When he heard Link agreed, the president, who should have been happy and angry, showed a smile from the bottom of his heart. Just make progress. As the communication deepened, he was confident that he would always ask the son of nature to help make strange things on the day.
Under Bridge's dictation, Yoda wrote the contents of the agreement on the enchantment paper in a special magic potion. When signing, Link specially chose Klin, including Orlando, to ask questions about why he wrote this.
"My surname is Lin. My name is Ke. My world's name writing method is the opposite of Edgar. Just treat it as an anti-counterfeiting measure. If you see Link's signature in the future, it will definitely be fake."
Bridge nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Because of his transcendent identity, the branch leader did not dare to ask the son of nature to prove his identity, and ordinary spells were invalid for him. Signing was a very hidden method of identification.
In addition to entrusting Vaulet's militia training to the union, Link also signed another agreement, employed as a trade union master, and entrusted all the props made to the union to sell at a price of 50% for 50% of the money. As for the use of fake identity, it is not written into the formal contract because it is a shameful private transaction. Although the use of Ranger Melville's identity has eliminated the time for manual screening, Link will still stay in Vaulet for a while to rush to make magic props that were promised to be made for the union, and to investigate the expansion of the new city. His existence can also help Sevis securely as the city lord.
However, the suspicious nobleman learned that Link did not return to the courtyard where he temporarily stayed that night, and sent his confidant Fern to inquire about the situation.
When he learned that Link stayed in the union to make magic props, the mercenary leader was itchy and it was difficult for him to ask Link to make one for him.
Orlando, who saw his mind, advised Elsie not to make such an idea. In recent decades, due to the scarcity of props, the price of magic props has been very high. Even if Link gave one for free out of acquaintance, Elsie's wealth and skills may not be able to keep it. It is better not to have treasures that will only cause trouble.
After listening to the advice of Half Elf, Elsie's excitement immediately cooled down.
