That is to say, become the messenger of the old grandmother.
Of course Annan knew what a "messenger" was.
In fact, this is a euphemism...Only the dead can become messengers of God.
This means that Ivan's end has come.
But Annan didn't feel any sadness...
Because this is not actually a farewell.
This is different from the teachings of some false gods that say "dead believers will come to the gods" or "the souls of the dead will go to hell". The Twelve True Gods do not need to use such lies to deceive believers, but
False gods - especially those who are loyal to their territory, will more or less tell some little lies in order to get help.
The biggest lie is "God will hear your prayers" and "You must remain pious to God."
——Except for those with abnormal perception like Kafni who are born with the ability to talk to the gods, basically only in correct and powerful rituals can the gods hear the voice of the caller. Of course, if the caller is called by his real name,
That's another matter... After all, the act of "calling out your true name" is also a ritual in itself.
In fact, if you think about it, you will know that if you can hear the gods by shouting, then what is the purpose of the ceremony?
As for piety... Whether it is a true god or a false god, neither piety nor faith is required. The job of a god is only two things - to maintain the concept of priesthood and to purify nightmares.
As for making messengers, running churches, compiling magical arts, compiling doctrines, etc., they are all extensions of these two things.
But God doesn’t need piety…but the church does.
The more a church lacks welfare and competitiveness, the more it will emphasize the importance of faith. Through the web woven by faith and the afterlife, they can force believers to perform various types of work for them.
When they are pious enough, they will not ask for rewards, nor will they care about experience. This is a very critical step for the small-scale pseudo-god church.
——The Zhengshen Church with strong appeal, such as Yin Jue Church, has no shortage of people at all.
They can even tell the believers directly that it doesn't matter whether they really believe in Yin Jue or not. As long as you don't blaspheme in the temple, even if you curse Yin Jue a few times on the street, as long as you don't happen to be bumped into by Yin Jue, no one will care about you.
.
You can complain all you want, but work cannot be delayed.
The church assigns individuals the highest mission of purifying nightmares; as well as the volunteer tasks that each person needs to complete.
For example, working as a teacher in a church school, or managing donations raised, or helping ordinary people read and explain contract issues they encounter, as well as accepting complaints and reports about other contract workers and participating in investigations... these jobs are also
It must be completed.
——You must know that Sir Silver’s core teaching is not to gain profits, but to maintain transactions.
Therefore, those businessmen who make money through deception and killing the goose to lay eggs will also be hunted down by Yin Jue's priests if they are reported - this kind of righteous sanction from heaven is also part of the work of Yin Jue's priests.
The old grandmother's behavior was completely different from Sir Silver's.
As the God of tradition, He only prefers his own blood heirs. Therefore, the old grandmother will only choose messengers from the heirs of the Blood of Frost Whisper.
——In other words, all the messengers from the old grandmother are strictly related to each other.
Maybe after becoming a messenger, he found that his father, uncle, aunt, and grandfather were all staring at him, muttering "You're here" or "You just came."
And His messenger looks like a huge dragon.
The good thing is that they can finally break free from the emotional shackles from the "Heart of Winter". But at this time, they can no longer turn back into humans and speak human words.
It is completely different from the "perfect dragon form" obtained after "Heart of Winter" evolves to its final form and advances to the gold level.
If the innate ability of Heart of Winter can be evolved to [Blood of Winter], and then a dyed soul can be obtained, theoretically, one can become a real ancient dragon.
It can transform at will without losing its profession, has a long lifespan, and is extremely resistant. In other words, if it is a wizard, it can even cast spells in the form of a dragon.
Be more precise.
——That is, becoming the "fellow race" of the old grandmother.
In fact, the talent of "Heart of Winter" was originally used by the old grandmother to create kin. The curses, restraints and enhancements it provides are all side effects of extracting blood.
The old grandmother's messenger "Frost Whispering Dragon" only looks like a giant dragon.
They have lost their human hearing organs and vocal organs, and can only use the language of frost or dragon language to "listen" and "speak".
Therefore, if you want to perform high-level rituals to summon dragons, you must be proficient in one of these two ancient languages, otherwise you will not be able to use the dragons at all.
The dragons transformed through this method cannot return to human form, nor can they talk in human language. They also do not have all the extraordinary abilities as humans, and naturally they cannot perform rituals... All they have is the old grandmother.
The "shell" given has the ability to breathe, fly, resist and attack. It's like a human being transformed into a dragon.
Of course, even so they are already very scary.
Different from the messengers of the "Silver Guide" type, the Frost Whispering Dragon is a real thug - possessing extremely cold breath weapons, the wisdom of a wise man among humans, a calm and indifferent mind, and can be summoned with just words
A blizzard, rough-skinned monster with thick flesh, standing twenty feet tall.
That's a monster that even multiple Silver-level extraordinary beings may not be able to handle...
The most terrifying thing is that this shell can be destroyed at will. Because it is actually a virtual image created using "traditional" power. Therefore, if the summoned dragon is in a good mood, they will not
Care about your own safety.
However, even if you can't change back to a human, it's actually not a big problem...
Because the messengers must stay away from the human world in the first place. This limitation of being unable to return to human beings is itself a way for the grandmother, who often falls into dragon sleep and lacks control over them, to ensure that the messengers stay away from the human world.
If the divine envoy was in the material world, he would not be able to respond to the ceremony immediately... that would be tantamount to being absent from work.
As undead, the "guarantee fee" for the envoys to continue to live in the world without triggering the burial mechanism is paid by the gods.
If the messengers do not work, it is equivalent to a kind of free whoring...
Although the old grandmother is very kind to her blood heirs, it does not mean that she will let them act as they please - all her messengers are blood heirs, which also means that to her, no one is special.
Maybe Yinjue would give someone an occasional break because of his special talents. But Grandma would not.
She has a strong parental will.
To her, all the Dukes of Winter, no matter how powerful they are outside, must be her juniors in front of her.
In order to work, messengers must live in other adjacent worlds, or in the gaps between worlds. This way they can respond the moment the ritual masters initiate the ritual.
If there's a benefit... Ivan can probably see his father and grandfather again.
Ivan's talents are so outstanding and he spends his life conscientiously. Annan doesn't have to worry about his grandmother looking down on him.
And in that case, there is at least one advantage - Annan and Ivan will not be separated forever.
After Ivan becomes an emissary, they still have a chance to meet again.
Yes.
After that, as long as Annan holds the ceremony of "Summoning: Frost Whispering Dragon", there is a chance that he can summon his biological father...
"It's almost this month," Ivan said slowly, "I heard that you are dealing with the Northland Alliance. I will try to survive for a few more days and wait for you to deal with their problems before turning into a dragon.
"Before that, I must hand over to you the secret that the Grand Duke has passed down from generation to generation..."
"...Great level spell?"
Annan guessed what Ivan was going to say.
Ivan nodded.
He patted the three-color crutch he usually leaned on and said calmly: "Actually, this is a great curse passed down from generation to generation in our family. You didn't expect it, right?"
"……ah?"
Annan was stunned for a moment.
I didn't expect that.jpg
Annan glanced at the three-color scepter with three legs spread out like an IV stand in Ivan's hand, and suddenly hesitated.
