His thinking froze for a moment, and a strong sense of crisis burst out from his heart the moment he realized this.
——Why is the level of this team getting higher and higher!
He has never heard of any archaeological relics that could alarm a fifth-level transcendent...
The vagabond felt extremely regretful at this moment.
There is no way to run now, the deposit has been taken... rather, the deposit has been spent today, and all the change has been exported. At this time, he can't even return the deposit and run away.
...Forget it, what the hell! If you die, you will die, no one can die!
Whether he dies early or dies late, it’s still death. At least I’ll have all the fun I should have had. I won’t have any unspent money left in my pocket, and I won’t regret it even if I die!
The rogue took a cruel breath and forced himself to calm down.
After calming down, he immediately realized another thing——
This white-haired woman...why isn't she breathing?
His perception was so sharp that he could directly hear the sound of breathing in the building from a distance of more than a hundred meters. It was definitely not because he couldn't sense it... but that the other party was indeed not breathing.
Listen carefully, she doesn't even have a heartbeat!
No wonder she looks lifeless like a doll... Could she be an undead? A fifth-level undead?
This is also the shortcoming of the "survival expert" profession. He can only judge the threat the other party poses to him. For example, he can say "stronger than himself", "weaker than himself" or "not much different", but cannot accurately know
We don’t know the opponent’s energy level and path, and we don’t know whether the opponent is a living person or a phantom.
Fortunately, because he is at the fourth energy level, those who are "stronger than him" are at the fifth level of comprehensive strength; those who are "similar to him" can only be at the fourth energy level, and those who are weaker than him do not need to pay attention.
"...Yes, Your Majesty Bishop."
He quickly calculated the opponent's strength in his mind, but in fact, Drifter bowed his head to Aiwass very humbly: "I am 'Drifter', a fourth-level survival expert."
——Although he is indeed not afraid of death, who wants to die if he can live well?
Not to mention, he is an [Adapter].
There is no shame in flattering a fifth-level healer. After all, if something happens to you, you have to rely on others to heal you.
Thinking of this, the wanderer became excited unconsciously.
He did receive treatment...but the highest level of treatment he received was only from a second-level priest.
——He has never experienced how powerful the fifth-level healing magic can be!
Let alone him... none of the mercenaries Drifter knew had received even fourth-level treatment.
Could it be that just like in the legend, as long as you still have a breath, you can be saved directly...
"You all seem to have code names?"
Aiwass said with interest: "Is it to prevent the curse?"
"……yes."
The rogue nodded and replied obediently: "Of course, if you want to know my real name, you can..."
After all, if a big shot at the fifth level wants to deal with him, he doesn't need his real name.
The fourth energy level and the fifth energy level seem to be only one energy level apart, but the gap is like a chasm.
In Avalon next door, the arbitration hall alone has more than a hundred fourth-level people who don't work. Now more than a hundred years have passed, and the people inside don't know how many batches have been changed... but it really changed from this
Among the Arbiters, only the Great Arbiter Meg has reached the fifth level.
The Great Justice is a legal practitioner, the Great Guardian is an air cavalry, and the Great Judge is an inheritor. This is enough to prove that even if he controls all the fourth-level extraordinary beings in a country, he may not be able to control the situation from within.
Cultivate the fifth energy level. With all the power of a human country, it is impossible to forcibly create the fifth energy level.
"That's not necessary."
Aiwass just smiled: "Then let me give you a code name. Otherwise, everyone will call each other a code name, and when you come to me, you will use your first name...it sounds weird.
"—Just call me [Pope]."
This extremely bold code name made Drifter's heart skip a beat.
He is worthy of being a fifth-level transcendent. This ambition makes people dare not even think about it...
...but the devotee of the fifth level should almost be a cardinal. As a candidate for the pope, there is nothing wrong with this...
The current acting pope of the Theocracy is a human being after all. He will not be the pope for long, and his rule will probably end soon. By then, it will be the time to re-elect the pope.
Maybe by then, Mr. "Pope" will become the real "Pope"!
Although generally speaking, it should be a saint who succeeds...but since there are now precedents for humans to succeed the pope, it is not impossible even if there are modifications in the future!
As for Mr. "Pope"'s overly young face, the Drifter didn't care at all. A priest who has mastered the method of sacrificing fire is close to eternal youth, not to mention that he looks more than ten or twenty years old, even if he is less than ten years old,
He wouldn't be surprised if he was three or four years old.
At this time, Cardinal Galatea also spoke, and made a voice as cold as ice: "You can call me [Doll]."
"Then everyone, just call me... well, just call me [Sine]."
The archmage with his nostrils turned upward also said.
The wanderer glanced at him.
He still remembered clearly that when this old mage with a name that had at least ten syllables came to the team, he pointed at them. He had no idea about the specifics, but the general idea was that they were all idiots.
.
——It’s ridiculous. A really smart person would call others stupid every day?
In the view of the rogue, the path of wisdom is exactly the path that fools pursue!
How many truly smart people are so obsessed with pursuing higher wisdom? I’m afraid wisdom is just a tool to achieve their goals for them!
But in front of the fifth-level priest, the archmage seemed so respectful and polite that he even had the idea of giving himself a codename.
"...Well," Professor Bard hesitated, "Do I need it?"
"No need, teacher."
Aiwass smiled and said: "How about you let them call you professor? You are indeed a professor anyway."
...can a fifth-level priest be called "teacher"?
After hearing Aiwass' words, everyone's hearts jumped suddenly.
The kitten glanced at Professor Bard and suddenly said: "Have I seen you?"
"Oh...yes."
Professor Bard nodded and said happily: "We met five years ago. At that time, you were still at the third level and working as an 'assassin'."
Professor Bard seemed to feel very lucky to see his former teammate who had descended into the ruins with him and came out alive.
"Continue to introduce to you..."
After temporarily giving himself the code name "Sine", the great mage said respectfully: "This is called 'Baike', a dream-walking monk, and a Horus man."
The man in white robes with brown skin, thick eyebrows and black eyes nodded.
He stood up, crossed his hands and touched his shoulders, then bowed slightly and saluted: "Aten bless you."
Aiwass looked at the "Encyclopedia" with interest and looked him up and down.
When Encyclopedia shrank a little, Aiwass nodded slightly: "Xi Tiansi bless you."
The name "Aten" is the name given to Xitiansi by the Horus people, and it is said to be Xitiansi's real name.
The Horus people are slightly different from humans in other places. They do not worship the Nine Pillars directly, but first worship the "three suns". The third sun is Xitiansi, also called Aten.
It is precisely because Xi Tiansi, as a Tiansi dedicated to the road, is a threat to Si Zhu. Therefore, the Horus people are not welcomed by the elves and the Theocracy, and some elves compare the Horus people with the dwarves -
-After all, the real reason why dwarves are hostile to elves is that they worship Yan Tiansi.
Although Si Zhu himself doesn't care much about this kind of thing...if he cared, he would directly send his eternal vanguard to crush the opponent. Before the Snake Father started the "final act of transcendence", the path of dedication itself was Tian Si
The most paths - this is because Si Zhu is willing to share the power of paths with others.
"Quite rare, Horus."
The rogue muttered.
The Horus Empire was an empire older than the Herasl Empire.
From the beginning of the birth of mankind, the Horus people have created their own country, which can be regarded as a country in the same period as the beginning of time and ancient Parthia. It was not until the peak of the Herasl Empire that they defeated the Horus people in a flanking attack with the Parthians.
, and took away one-third of their territory respectively, thus interrupting the endless expansion of the Horus Empire.
The Horus Empire finally raised endless desert storms and completely separated the country from the outside world for five hundred years, and then it was able to preserve its remaining territory. It is said that the original Iris Collar was part of the former Horus Empire.
Because the Duke who cut off this land was called the Duke of Iris, he was named Grand Duke of Iris.
The Iris people have a saying... It is said that the curse of the Moon Child spread from the Horus Empire.
Because the Horus people set a curse when they were defeated, causing the invaders' country to be torn apart, their monarchs to be usurped, the land to dry up, the wealth to drain away, morals to be corrupted, and blood to flow like rivers.
I don’t know if this curse is true, but the ancient Parthian kingdom did lose their king. And the Herasl Empire was indeed torn apart and morally corrupted, and the rich land belonging to the Horus Empire that the ancient Parthian kingdom took away also became
Desert. Nowadays, it is because they are afraid of the Horus curse that the Parthian Ancient Kingdom and the Iris Kingdom do not dare to touch the Horus "Empire" whose territory is not even as big as their own.
Because of this, the Horus are rarely seen in the outside world.
But what's even rarer is this one...or rather, this pair.
Drifter thought and looked at the remaining two people.
It was an ascetic monk wearing shabby linen clothes, with a solemn face and bright eyes. The muscles on his body were strong enough to hold up the linen clothes.
...and a man with a strange oriental face and wearing a gray robe.
He has long black hair and a long beard like a goat. There is a strange coldness about him, and you will feel obviously cool just by being around him. He looks about forty or fifty years old, and his eyes are closed.
He looked around and just nodded towards Aiwass.
"This is a monk who protects the temple. His name is 'Mu'. He only has one syllable of silence... because he has sworn the oath of 'silence' and cannot speak, so we all call him that."
The Archmage introduced: "The other one is a great wizard from the Taichu Empire.
"This wizard is called Zhu Tang. He usually closes his eyes. He and Mr. Mu are together and came across the desert from the ancient country of Parthia. Because of their characteristics, they are called 'non-seeing and non-speaking' by the Parthian people."
