This time Duke Lucan also responded to him immediately, and with a faint white light shining, he came to a piece of green grass.
The surrounding flowers are as bright as stars in the sky, the clear pond in the distance is like shining gems, and silver clouds are floating under the flawless sky. Everything here has a very strong color contrast, but it is also so beautiful and peaceful.
At the same time, active positive energy also flows through Levi's whole body. Without looking at it, he knows that in this environment, all magic that favors light and kindness will be greatly strengthened, while dark magic will be greatly strengthened.
suppress.
Even ordinary undead below level 7 will probably be easily purified the moment they appear.
Further away are open meadows and rolling fields, as well as a giant river that never stops flowing. On the farthest horizon, there are rapids and waterfalls falling from the sky.
This is not a description. Although the Paradise is not as good as Heaven Mountain, there are four levels of Paradise.
A deep ocean is home to all kinds of marine life;
A layer of swamp full of life, which is the favorite of swamp creatures such as crocodiles and frogs;
The first layer is half mountains and half rivers. In addition to the regular Gaidin Celestial Clan, there may also be some angels, elemental giants, etc. there.
Compared with the Star King's Court and Heavenly Mountain, the Paradise of the Gaidin Heavenly Clan is very welcoming to the existence of many good camps, so it has become a relatively famous tourist place.
It’s not just for fun, it’s also a place where many kind-hearted beings can make friends.
As well as the layer where Li Wei is located, with grasslands and woods, they are the layer with the largest population and number of the Gaidin Clan.
However, there is a river named Poseidon River on each level, which runs through the entire Paradise. It is said that it was left by a kind Poseidon, but now its name and history have been lost in the past.
In addition, there are some small portals in the Paradise that connect the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden and the Twin Paradise.
The former is a paradise for various beasts and animal lords. In theory, animals that exist in the main world can be found there, so they have always had a good relationship with the Gaidin Celestial Clan who also have beastly characteristics.
The Twin Paradise mainly houses a large group of dwarf gods, several dwarf gods, and the good dragon god Bahamut, etc.
Therefore, compared to the Star King's Court, the Paradise is easier to enter.
Now looking around, the Gaidin Celestial Clan of all shapes and sizes are roaming freely here. Compared to the drinking and carousing of the Aithorn Celestial Clan, they are enjoying a different kind of life.
Occasionally, there are some heroic spirits from various races such as gnomes, dwarves and humans, as well as humanoid creatures with gold and silver skin and eyes wandering around.
They are the Aasimar clan, and they are basically humans or elves with part of the Celestial bloodline.
In fact, it is often easier for the passionate and unrestrained love-thorn Celestials to have love crystallization with mortals, but it is a pity that the Royal Court of Stars will not allow foreigners to enter casually.
Therefore, even if offspring are born, they will basically spend the rest of their lives in the main world, or in Paradise, the kingdom of some kind gods.
At this moment, Duke Lucan and the Successor of the Wind, who had dealt with Li Wei before, were already standing there waiting for Li Wei.
In addition, there was also a male horseman, and Li Wei immediately knew that the other party should be another reinforcement that Duke Lucan was looking for for him, that is, the horseman who retired on his own initiative - Lord Hui Wen.
Although there is also a Crazy Horse Envoy among the five serving Gaedin Lords, that one is a woman.
So Li Wei immediately greeted them very warmly, and they responded in succession.
The mad horseman, Lord Hui Wen, quickly expressed his willingness to sign a contract with Li Wei to fight evil together.
He didn't have any particular fondness for Li Wei, but he and Duke Lucan were good brothers, and he would help even if it was for the other's sake.
Lord Huiwen's combat effectiveness is relatively mediocre among the current and former Five Lords of Gadding.
His abilities are also very average, with good attack, defense and speed, and he also knows some spells, but there is really no one who is really good at it and can stand out among many companions.
Even in Levi's view, his combat effectiveness may not be as good as the weakest messenger among the seven models of Archon.
Because the messenger, who can wield thunder and lightning sword energy and can fly at high speed, encounters enemies such as the Great Unclean One of Nurgle, it is entirely possible to use kiting tactics to eliminate the opponent without injury, but Lord Huiwen can only bite the bullet and go up.
Shopping.
But no matter what, he can be regarded as a legendary cavalry. For Li Wei, the more reinforcements, the better.
After saying hello, Duke Lucan, who had the best relationship with Li Wei, said without hesitation: "Li Wei, it's unlucky for you to come. The prince is meeting with the envoy of the Good Dragon God."
The Dragon Madness Mystery broke out in advance, causing heavy losses to the dragons and dragon descendants in the main world. Imric, who often conquered and tamed dragons, immediately became a god, and he happened to have a dragon in his priesthood.
Even outsiders like them can roughly imagine how much suspicion and resentment the two dragon gods have towards the elves and the elves at this moment.
If Levi, who is also the prince of Caledor like Imric, meets Bahamut's envoy at this moment, there may be some conflict.
Li Wei certainly knew this. In fact, since the Dragon Madness Lock, his subordinate Alduin, who was born as a bronze dragonborn, has been seriously affected.
He has become a "former paladin".
Because of some of Bahamut's orders and Alduin's original oath of allegiance to Levi, a serious conflict occurred.
However, this made Levi feel a little worried. For Alduin, whose strength was obviously weakened, he increased his salary and comforted him. Only by believing in Bahamut can one become a paladin.
The dragon god is not the only god who symbolizes kindness and justice in this world.
This also made Levi realize very clearly that although Bahamut has not yet decided to launch a war, his hostility towards the elven pantheon is already very obvious.
After the battle with the Rotten Dragon God, Li Wei knew that the Dragon God was indeed much stronger than ordinary gods at the same level.
Bahamut is a weak divine power, but it is completely okay to treat him as a medium divine power.
So after hearing this, Li Wei couldn't help but become a little more serious: "What does the Dragon God desire for the Gaidin Celestial Clan?"
"I heard that he wants to get some guards for his dragon vassals."
Li Wei frowned slightly: "Could it be that he wants to expand the scale of Dragon Vassals?"
Dragon Vassal is a special class change for Bahamut, and it can basically be considered as a way for him to expand the size of his followers.
Because its qualifications are relatively loose, paladins, warriors, rangers, barbarians, etc. are all eligible.
Then there is the alignment of being lawful good, believing in Bahamut, and killing an evil dragon or drake independently.
Once the job transfer is successful, the dragon vassal will become a powerful warrior similar to a paladin who can cast spells. At the same time, he will be strengthened when fighting against evil dragon creatures, and good dragon creatures will be more willing to help him.
Then there are the scales of the evil dragons killed by them. After praying, they will be blessed by Bahamut and become powerful dragon scale armor.
In addition, as the dragon vassal level increases, they will continue to receive personal rewards from Bahamut, which is a lot of gold coins, and each time will definitely be more generous than the last time.
This last one is more outrageous. Dragons are all greedy for money. What is the reason why Bahamut, the dragon god, not only does not ask for worship from believers, but is willing to take the initiative to share his treasures with him?
mortal believer?
That is of course because Bahamut can gain greater benefits.
The descendants born of dragon vassals will all have dragon blood, and will naturally have a strong belief in Bahamut.
In a sense, Bahamut is secretly transforming humans into dragonborn, and because the rewards of job transfer are indeed amazing, there is no need for him to take the initiative to promote it, and a large number of outstanding warriors will take the initiative to try it out.
.
For Bahamut, some gold coins seem not that important compared to the power of faith.
Based on his long-standing good reputation and the fact that he did not aggressively develop dragon vassals throughout the main world, and more importantly, his strength was indeed very strong, most gods chose silence or patience.
Anyway, Bahamut is not just a sheep. He is developing dragon vassals extensively in the entire main world. On average, the impact on each god is actually very small. There is no need to really
to turn against him.
Duke Lucan nodded slightly: "Yes, he probably wants to expand the scale quickly by lowering the threshold and improving treatment."
"Do you still want to lower it?" This time even the mad horseman Lord Hui Wen couldn't bear it.
He had just returned from outside and was directly called over by Duke Lucan to receive Li Wei, so he was still unclear about this matter.
But now the conditions for changing classes of dragon vassals are very relaxed, because there is no requirement for the strength of the evil dragon or dragon beast.
Theoretically, if you encounter a level 2 hybrid dragon beast or a level 3 baby white dragon, as long as you kill the opponent, it will be considered eligible!
If it drops further, what's left? Just believe in Bahamut?
The Successor of Wind also narrowed his eyes slightly. He usually would not maliciously speculate on other people, but Bahamut's behavior this time was indeed very suspicious.
The bloodline of the giant dragon almost occupies an overwhelming advantage in inheritance. No matter what race the other party is, the offspring will basically show certain characteristics of the giant dragon. The huge variety and large number of dragon beasts are proof of this.
Lowering the threshold for dragon vassals at this critical moment can be said to help mortals better fight evil, but isn't it just taking advantage of others' danger?
Li Wei thought for a moment: "I heard that something happened in the Border Kingdom two days ago."
"When the defenders of the city were about to run out of ammunition and food, the 'kind' Dragon God Church appeared in a 'timely' manner and delivered a large amount of food to the city, allowing the defenders to continue. Therefore, there were many mortals in the city.
I chose to change my faith.”
After hearing the two words he emphasized, no matter whether you have heard of the existence of this matter or not, you can't help but be silent for a while.
It depends on which angle you interpret this matter.
On the bright side, the Bahamut Church was so compassionate that it couldn't bear the garrison in the city to starve to death, so it took the initiative to send food. The garrison was grateful and decided to believe in Bahamut from now on. Both parties are good people with noble moral character.
people.
But thinking about the worst, why does the Bahamut Church know the time so accurately? If they really wanted to save the other party, why would they have gone there?
Moreover, it is a border kingdom, which can basically be considered a bandit kingdom. Both the offensive and defensive sides are all bad guys. Are they really worth saving?
Thinking further, with sufficient food, will the war continue, leading to more casualties and giving Bahamut more opportunities to gain followers?
If this kind of thing happened once or twice, it might be a coincidence, but in recent years, they have happened too frequently, which makes people wonder about the truth behind it.
And their suspicions are not groundless, because Bahamut has indeed done many misdeeds.
The most famous thing is that a long time ago, the dragon god system was still prosperous and nearly ruled the entire main world. When there were no titles like the God of Good Dragons and the God of Evil Dragons, Bahamut once asked those who believed in him to
The giant dragons, dragon beasts and dragon descendants of the world carried out genocidal massacres in his name.
Bahamut only became the Good Dragon God after the rapid decline of the dragon god system.
Seeing the expressions of several high-level Celestials, Li Wei knew that their ideas were probably highly consistent with his own, which basically meant that he would also get some help from the current Five Lords of Gaidin.
Before Duke Lucan resigned, they all recommended successors of their own race. They still had to show some respect. Ideally, including Duke Lucan, they could get up to six approvers this time.
If they all open their mouths to question, then Bahamut's wish will basically be in vain.
The Archon Celestial Clan is basically the one-spoken hall of the Queen of Stars. When the Arcon Celestial Clan faces major matters, they usually hold meetings to discuss them together with the seven Lords of Heaven.
On the Gaidin Celestial Clan's side, the lion-headed envoy Prince Talishid mainly makes the decision. However, if any of the five Gaedin lords disagrees with this process, the prince will never act arbitrarily.
However, since we haven't even met each other now, there is no need for Levi to say anything more. He just stopped talking:
"Okay, it's good that we all know this matter well. In the end, we have to leave it to Prince Talished to make the final decision."
"In any case, that person is still in the good camp, and the priesthood of lies does not belong to him."
It was a good thing that Li Wei didn't say anything. When he thought of Cyric, the guy who lied to the point of driving himself crazy, Duke Lucan and others couldn't help but make more associations.
If it is just a simple disguise, Bahamut cannot even disguise his own camp, because the camp is the external manifestation of a series of things such as the mind and behavior of an existence. No existence can disguise it, not even Ciri.
Even Grams can't do it.
But what if Bahamut has some special abilities and treasures, such as hypnosis or illusion, so that even he himself thinks that he did those things out of kindness and compassion?
?
Just like under the influence of the Cyric Sutra, Cyric really believed that he was the only true God!
Although this speculation is very unbelievable, it may be the best explanation for Bahamut's series of abnormal behaviors.
Because it has been so long ago, many things about the dragon god system are no longer so clear, and the priesthood displayed by Bahamut may not really be all he has.
Lord Huiwen couldn't help but said in a low voice: "Even if the prince really agrees to the other party's conditions, I will definitely tell him all these things."
Although he has been retired for hundreds of years, based on his excessive friendship and merits, Prince Talishid will definitely consider it if he opens his mouth.
The Successor of Wind and Duke Lucan looked at each other and nodded silently.
When things have reached this stage, it actually has little to do with Li Wei.
Even if Bahamut has not had any more bad deeds leaked since he became the God of Good Dragons, paper cannot cover the fire after all. If everyone's speculation is true, he will show his flaws sooner or later, and they don't want to let him
The Gedin Celestial Clan used their lives to serve a hypocrite.
What's more, there are many ways for the Gedin tribe to fight evil. For example, those Gedin tribes stationed in Dread Rock or Skogi and other places basically fight evil every day, so why should they take risks to help Baha?
Where's Mutt?
After having such a tacit understanding, they stopped talking and just started taking Li Wei to visit the Paradise.
Levi did not refuse. Not to mention that he was just entering the legend now. Even for a being like Lilith, if she really faced off against Bahamut, it would definitely not be easy. There was no need to fight forcefully.
When Bahamut's envoy leaves, you can go see Prince Talished again.
Not to mention, the environment and scenery of Elysium are really good, so it also attracts many travelers from other good planes. Li Wei met at least dozens of gods from more than a dozen different planes.
followers and servants.
However, their strength is uneven. Compared with the mortals in the main world, they are definitely much stronger, but they are not particularly outrageous. They are mainly concentrated between levels 3-5.
The proportion of existences above level 5 is already very low, and there is even less of a legendary level existence.
Despite this, Levi still took the opportunity to make some new friends. He didn't really want to get anything from them now, but with more friends, he might get some small surprises in the future.
Even if possible, Levi would take the initiative to do something for the other party.
For example, Li Wei made friends with a Pandaren traveler named Zhou Zhuo, who claimed that he wanted to leave Cathay and travel to the Western world, but because he had no money, he was currently trying to earn money by selling home-brewed wine.
profit.
After Li Wei heard about it, he generously bought several jars of the other party's green plum wine with 500 gold coins.
If you look at business alone, Li Wei must be a huge scapegoat. Those jars of wine are not worth that much at all, but does he care about the few gold coins?
For another example, Levi met the family members of the demigod-swan fairy Princess Ella, and had a pleasant conversation with them.
He also learned by the way that Corellon and Minglong-Yinyin of the Cathay pantheon were trying to draw the Swan Fairy into their pantheon, which was an unexpected gain.
There are many more, but after wandering for most of the day, Duke Lucan went to the top floor of Elysium several times, but in the end he returned disappointed because Prince Talished was still receiving Bahamut's envoy.
This made the Heir of the Wind and Lord Huiwen a little uneasy. Although when encountering major events, the prince usually would not agree directly, but would make a decision after discussing it with the Five Lords of Gaidin, but they really
Worried that the prince would be impulsive.
But Li Wei didn't take it seriously. Instead, he comforted the other party. It took a long time, which didn't necessarily mean that the negotiation between the two parties was going smoothly. Maybe it was because they couldn't reach an agreement in some key places, so they were struggling there?
To be honest, Li Wei felt that the Gaidin Celestial Clan would value this kind of agreement so much because they were too honest.
If it were the Aithorn Clan, what would happen even if they really agreed? They have too many ways to do nothing, or simply mess up the matter.
Despite this, after several more hours, Duke Lucan and the others couldn't bear it anymore. After confessing to Li Wei, they went straight to the top of Elysium.
Levi didn't stop him. He just squatted in front of a celestial halfling chef with a few dwarf ancestors he had just made friends with, and lightning elemental messengers from the wind elemental plane, waiting for the sumptuous dinner that the other party was about to cook.
There was also a half-molten giant who was responsible for lighting the fire, while Elegy and the other girls helped wash vegetables and other things.
I've been either fighting or on the way to fight all day long, so let's take today as a day off for myself, Elegy and others.
I have to admit that halflings are not bad at cooking, and this celestial halfling is the best among them.
Especially after receiving the blessing of many high-end ingredients that Li Wei had just brought from the Aici Celestial Clan, this dinner became even more delicious and even attracted an uninvited guest.
It was a young girl with green eyes and long hair, her hair covered with green leaves and golden moss, and wearing a green tulle robe. She ran over in surprise:
"Wow, what a sumptuous dinner. I brought a few bottles of fruit wine. Can you let me join you?"
Her voice is clear, sweet, and full of magnetism, and even vaguely, there are countless birdsong echoing.
The lightning elemental user said nothing. The dwarf ancestors and halfling chefs both expressed warm welcome, but immediately said that they could not completely make the decision because a large part of the ingredients for this dinner were provided by Levi.
.
Of course Levi would not refuse, it was just a meal, and he originally wanted to make more friends through it.
What's more, compared to the dwarf ancestors and heroic spirits, he has divinity and can sense the opponent's essence more keenly.
Coupled with the other party's unusual appearance, he quickly determined the other party's identity.
It is most likely an incarnation of Mielikki, the goddess of forests and rangers, who is a medium-level divine power from the natural pantheon.
This neutral and kind-hearted goddess has a profound background in the real sense. Her father is a powerful god of nature - Silvanus, Lathander and other gods regard her as a friend.
The Lord of the Fire Mane - Norban Nien, the Stone Goat Goddess Shi'alia and the Human Ranger - Gueren Flowing Wind, these three demigods are all her followers.
The Unicorn Queen, Larai, has served as her mount in the battle between gods more than once.
As for her enemies, she is mainly Maura, followed by Talos, and finally Talona, the goddess of poison and disease. She and Li Wei should have a lot in common.
After all, Li Wei had enmity with Ma La more than once, and Ma La had designs on Sobek and Serekite, so Levi had even more reason to deal with them.
But since the other party didn't reveal his identity, he naturally didn't want to do this, so Levi didn't say anything and just enjoyed the food in front of him.
Anyway, for the true god, the divinity in himself, Elegy and others is like a candle in the darkness, and it is impossible to ignore it.
So until after they finished eating, they did not have any unnecessary communication with each other. The halfling chef began to clear the tables and pans, and several dwarf ancestors began to drink and talk about their past glorious achievements in the main world.
However, considering the dwarves' habit of bragging when they drink, these achievements must have been filled with water.
Mielikki's incarnation is like a real human spirit, and she also tells some stories of her own.
Elegy, Donna and others couldn't help but be affected, and soon joined in. If it were more about telling stories, they really didn't have to worry about running out of materials after following Li Wei's battles.
Just like this, after being busy for a long time, Melikai suddenly stood up and said regretfully: "Sorry, I still have some things to deal with. I hope we will have the opportunity to meet in the future. Your food is delicious. Your stories are also very interesting.”
Although the halfling chef and the others were a little regretful, they didn't pay too much attention to it. They just said farewell to each other. After all, in Elysium, there are too many opportunities for such unexpected encounters.
Only Levi's ears heard more voices, and Mielikei also extended an invitation to him in the name of the goddess. If there was a chance, he could visit the Temple of Nature plane of the natural god system.
Li Wei naturally nodded in agreement, and he was looking forward to this invitation very much.
The natural gods are basically neutral good or lawful good, which is very consistent with Levi's camp. The relationship between them and the elven gods has always been very good.
In addition, there is another point. Melikai's father is the god of nature, so who is her mother?
This has always been an unsolved mystery, but there are rumors that the possibility of Lady Golden Heart, the goddess of love and beauty in the elven pantheon, is very high.
Given that it is so widely circulated, related gods such as the God of Nature and Lady Golden Heart have never stood up to refute the rumors, which in itself is quite revealing.
If this is the case, it would be more understandable for Melikai to show a little kindness to Levi.
After Melikai left, Donna couldn't help but sigh a little: "She is really beautiful. Her youth and agility are really enviable."
Cindy also nodded hurriedly. Although the other person looked older than her, the feeling of youth was even better than hers.
But the dwarf ancestors and heroic spirits next to them all looked surprised: "Youth? Are you sure you are talking about that old human lady?"
The half-lava giant said angrily: "Human? Isn't he a rock elemental?"
"What? Why does she look like a dwarf to me?"
"Nonsense, isn't it a mermaid?"
After arguing for a while and looking at each other a few more times, they both understood that this was definitely some kind of special power exerted by the other party.
Hearing this, even Levi couldn't help but be a little surprised. He, Donna and others all saw the same appearance, and they didn't feel any magic fluctuations at all. It should be said that she was a real goddess.
At this moment, there was a sound of flapping wings in the distance, and the Successor of the Wind rushed over with a happy face: "Levi, Prince Talished is waiting for you!"
