In the void, everything seems to be in chaos and silence. If any mortal could see this endless void, he would definitely be shocked by the vastness of the void.
It's just that occasionally there are building fragments floating in the void where everything should be empty, as if something once existed in this void.
At this time, a majestic yet somewhat weak voice came from the void.
"Who is meddling with my authority again? Who is it?"
…
Ironwood Castle
Aragorn was still bargaining with Richard. After obtaining enough magic crystals, he was not satisfied with continuing to exist in the form of a soul. Instead, he asked Richard to collect some suitable lotus root nodes and then use other materials to refine them for himself.
a body,
This familiar operation made Richard call himself an expert, and even suspected that Aragorn was the reincarnation of a certain great god. Until after many insinuations, he learned that this kind of refining alchemical body was regenerated by some old mages in the Magic Age after their bodies grew old.
After seeing the common means of life, I put aside my inner doubts.
The materials used in Aragorn's new body cannot be said to be bad, at least they were carefully collected. It is definitely difficult for ordinary people to collect these materials, but they are not precious. At least it did not take much effort to collect the materials.
Richard understood Aragorn's idea of changing his body into a better one, but Hai Xinlian immediately chatted to death about it.
Compared with the cold spring gem, the sea heart lotus is definitely a more precious treasure. With a little medicine, this thing can help the peak knight level break through to the stage of the great knight.
It is even said that as long as the amount is sufficient, it can also play a certain role when the Great Knight reaches his peak and reaches the Earth Knight.
Every small piece of this kind of sea lotus is extremely expensive. If you want Richard to get the quantity required to make a body, let alone whether there are so many products on the market, even Richard can't afford it. How dare he buy it?
If he buys it, the Hunter family's finances will probably explode on the spot, which is much scarier than if he goes to the market every month to scan for goods.
Faced with Aragorn's unreasonable request, Richard would of course refuse.
"Your Majesty, you know that I only have a small territory in the countryside and can't afford it. Since we are allies, why don't we change the terms?"
Although the strength of Richard's subordinates is already quite strong, it can be said that as long as he does not attack the royal family, he is not afraid of any other forces. Even the strongest Duke of Ross in the West, Richard is confident in high-end military force.
Suppress it.
But according to Richard's character, facing this kind of enemy with unknown strength, he naturally has to recruit all available combat power. Now Aragorn, whose strength is unfathomable, lives in his castle. If he doesn't try, he will
Wouldn't it be too wasteful to take action?
"How about you transfer the control of the Elf King Ring to me, and I can help you at all costs."
"Here, I don't know how to transfer control."
What Richard said was true. After being repaired by the blacksmith, the Elf King's Ring was directly bound to Richard. Richard didn't understand the process at all. It was completely blind to allow Richard to transfer control.
Moreover, Richard was secretly unwilling to transfer control of the Elf King's ring. Not to mention that this ring was a treasure made by the most powerful Elf King in the past, and there might be some secrets hidden in it.
Even though this ring is currently capable of converting magic power into soul power that Aragorn can use, Richard is unwilling to hand over control.
Richard also did not have 100% trust in Aragorn.
"Then there's nothing I can do. After all, the loss is too great, and I can't bear it in my current state."
Aragorn buried his head and took another sip of the tea soup that he couldn't taste at all, with a look of helplessness on his face.
Richard was itching to see it, but there was nothing he could do about it. Although the two were allies, they were limited to dealing with the God of the Rising Sun. Aragorn was not too concerned about matters related to the orcs and the kingdom.
Although Richard could also try to force Aragorn to submit through the supply of magic crystals or the ability of the Elf King Ring, it would be too ugly to do so. Richard would not easily force a former king unless he had to.
, especially when the opponent is likely to have the ability to kill you instantly.
At the end of the chat, the topic of chatting came up with some secrets about the establishment of the kingdom. Richard picked out some things he wanted to know and asked, while Aragorn looked like an old god was there, and he had something to say according to his mood.
He answered Richard's question appropriately. Anyway, this ally is definitely a great ally.
…
River valley, a wealthy family's garden.
Although there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor in the river valley, and there are still a large number of extremely poor people who have no place to live, it is undeniable that the wealth in the river valley is higher than that in other parts of the kingdom.
At least the proportion of rich people here is relatively high and they are strong. Unlike the Northland where there are few decent people except the nobles, some wealthy households in the river valley live no worse than the nobles.
This courtyard with a garden is the property of a wealthy businessman in the river valley.
The yard covers an area of medium size, close to ten acres, but although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.
There are just as many fountains, statues, and rooms in the yard, and the interior decoration is quite exquisite. The ornaments, carpets, and some paintings are all of high quality. Their level of luxury is not inferior to that of the nobles in Burai City. The only drawback is
The only thing is that the location of this courtyard is a bit remote. There are not even many villages around it, and it is already at the edge of the river valley.
"Your Holiness, this place is a little remote. I feel sorry for you."
"It's okay, it's just better if it's a little more remote."
After the failure of the plan in Golden Dragon City, the young Pope Misiu led his people to hide in the River Valley area. In order to avoid being discovered by the kingdom's spies, Misuo took Hussein and other core members of the Rising Sun Cult under the Archbishop of the River Valley.
We arranged to live in this fairly secluded courtyard.
There are two reasons why Mi Xiu chose to rest in the river valley.
First, after all, the River Valley is not a royal territory directly under the royal family. The presence of Black Prison and other official forces here is still weak. The River Valley garrison, which is the only official force representing the royal capital, can only be partially stationed at Zhenbeiguan and some directly.
Stationed in the city of Burai, it is naturally beyond the reach of some remote villages outside the city. Even if they want to, they are unable to control them. It is even more common for the nobles in the river valley to obey the kingdom's orders and disobey them, even for quantifiable tasks such as transporting supplies.
He was cheating in every possible way, not to mention the thankless task of searching for the remnants of the Rising Sun Cult. It would be nice if he could just show off.
Secondly, Mi Xiu felt a little unwilling. The river valley was close to the North. According to Mi Xiu's idea, after recuperating, he would at least settle the matter in the North and give a title to the so-called top master in the kingdom, Richard.
of kilograms.
"Prepare some simple food, don't waste it, just enough to eat."
"It's His Holiness the Pope."
Yaxiu lives a simple life, and everyone around him is used to it. Anyway, it is impossible for the people around Yaxiu to live in fine clothes and fine food. Even the manor where they live is too luxurious in Yaxiu's opinion.
Understand.
"Um?"
"Then, what is that?"
Just as everyone in the Rising Sun Cult gathered together to prepare for a meal, the sudden sight that appeared in front of them made everyone froze in place.
A ball of golden and red light and shadow slowly condensed in front of everyone, and finally turned into a human shape. The facial features of the light and shadow were clearly visible at the end.
In this scene, let alone ordinary people, even Pope Mi Xiu squinted his eyes and stared closely at this group of light and shadow, obviously he was not at peace in his heart.
And Guangying's next words directly caused everyone to fall into consternation and excitement.
"I am a divine servant of the Lord of the Rising Sun. There are despicable thieves in the world who try to usurp my Lord's authority while my Lord is sleeping.
In the north, find him and destroy him!"
After that, the human-shaped light and shadow that claimed to be the God's Attendant turned into a stream of fire-colored light and penetrated into the scepter in Mi Xiu's hand.
When the light and shadow penetrated the scepter in his hand, Mi Xiu's expression moved slightly, but in the end he did not do anything more.
After the light and shadow penetrated the black scepter, the originally inconspicuous scepter seemed to have suddenly been triggered by some mechanism.
The dark red sparkle pattern is all over the black scepter. The perfect combination of red and dark colors makes the originally rustic scepter become extremely luxurious.
"this…"
"I remembered that face just now. He is Lord Rand, the Divine Attendant beside the Lord of the Rising Sun. I have seen it in the divine book. He is really the Divine Attendant."
The person who spoke was also a bishop-level figure in the Rising Sun Cult. He had always been known within the sect for his proficiency in various classics. His confirmation should confirm Guangying's identity.
"The great Lord of the Rising Sun! Honorable Attendant of Rand!"
Everyone who was still in a daze just now immediately knelt down towards Mi Xiu in excitement. Even Hussein, who had always been resolute, was no exception and forced himself to kneel on the ground regardless of his armor.
Some people even burst into tears with excitement. The legendary oracle actually allowed them to witness with their own eyes that the God of the Rising Sun really exists. This kind of manifestation of a long-believed god is really too inspiring, and there is nothing left to say.
Doing it swept away the haze of previous consecutive failures and boosted morale to the extreme.
Only Yaxiu had no expression on his face and didn't know what to think, but Yaxiu still raised the scepter that turned dark red in his hand after a pause.
