Chapter 20 Vulcan's Support
"Prince, Caledor is the most powerful country in Ulthuan. I can't think of what kind of crisis needs the help of us forgotten people." Knowing that the
high priest would not agree easily, they The number of people in the church is very small. From the high priest at the top to the disciples at the bottom, there are only more than 500 people. Except for a small group of top-notch skitarii, there is not much difference from the regular army, but Imrik does not I don't intend for them to go to war, he pretended to sigh and said in an emotional tone.
"The volcanic activity in the Dragon's Back Mountains is decreasing. I would like to ask you to help the Vaal Church maintain the volcanic temperature. I know that the relationship between the Ardaeus Church and the Vaal Church is not very good, but as a member of Caledor, I hope you can put aside your prejudices. , maintain the most important Vaal anvil."
Imrik's words moved the high priest a little. He was also a dragon prince in his early years, but under the guidance of Ardaeus, he voluntarily gave up his status as a military noble and joined the church.
As someone who has fought under the Dragon Prince, he naturally knows the arrogance of previous princes. The Dragon Prince in front of him has already said the word "please". As a former Caledor warrior, he is a little moved.
After hesitating for a moment, the high priest said, "According to the previous covenant, the Church of Ardaeus will naturally support the prince's actions, but as the leader of the church, I need to ask my Lord whether to help the Var Church maintain the volcanic temperature.
" The priest made a gesture of invitation. The difficulty in this matter lay in the attitude of Ardaeus. As the god of fire, Ardaeus believed in his church to maintain the temperature of a volcano.
The relationship between Val and Ardaeus is not very good. The God of Forging always wants the God of Vulcan to provide him with the right temperature to forge weapons, and the violent God of Vulcan wants the right weapons to release that terrifying power.
This is a very suitable complementary relationship, but if two gods engage in this kind of behavior, the leaders of both gods will lose face, so they can only fight to grab what they want.
Kneeling in front of the brazier again, as the high priest prayed silently, the fierce flames began to sway, and even had a swaying feeling. At its strongest, it had burned to the top of the sanctuary. Imrik stood there without changing his expression. On the ground, the Caledor Armor on his body is a legendary armor made by the priests of Vaal. Apart from being slightly inferior to the Aenarion Dragon Armor, there is nothing comparable in Ulthuan.
The flames gradually stopped, not because of the end of the prayer, but because the flames suddenly entered the high priest's body. Seeing this abnormality, Imric clenched the Star Lance in his hand. These elven gods were not You don't care about anything at all? Why did this happen just after we met today?
The high priest stood up and looked at himself again. There was almost no change on his body, except for his eyes that had turned into flames and the breath of sulfur he exhaled when he spoke, plus the scorching temperature that was constantly exuding from his body, "Boy Long, put you down. The toothpick in my hand, unless the dragon tamer is present, I want to attack you, and no mortal can stop you."
Knowing that the high priest should be possessed by Ardaeus, Imric did not dare to let down his guard. , my identity is a bit sensitive, if I am targeted by this god, something will probably happen.
But who would have thought that Ardaeus didn't seem to realize that he was not the original product. Instead, he said something else and smiled disdainfully, "Although your father is a fool, he is also brave. Why is it like this for you, Long?" The prince has become so cowardly."
Putting the Star Lance on the ground and pointing a weapon at the gods is indeed disrespectful. When you don't have enough strength to challenge these scammers, it is better to be cowardly, "No I know what the respected God of Fire wants to possess the high priest, and maintaining the temperature of the volcano should only require you to say a word."
But Ardaeus did not directly answer his question, but instead talked about something It was an unrelated matter, "Dragon boy, are you interested in becoming my chosen one?" And Imric was shocked by his words. Is this chosen one just for the sake of it? Which God's Chosen one doesn't have to go through a lot of hard work to become one, especially the Holy Grail Knights of Bretonnia. Each of them is equivalent to Lilith's Chosen One. Finding one Holy Grail in ten adventures is already a stroke of luck. .
But I quickly thought of something, especially Lilith. After the End of Time, she was the only one among the elven gods to survive. Although the fate of Ardaeus was not explained, she must have become the link between Asuryan and Kai. Victims of the struggle.
So he tentatively said, "Are you worried about the war in heaven?"
His answer obviously surprised Ardaeus. The god with a cheerful personality like a flame immediately laughed, and from time to time some sparks flew out of his mouth. of saliva, and then spoke.
"You are much smarter than I thought. It seems that you no longer want the identity of the Chosen One."
As a god, Ardaeus has a vague sense of what will break out in the near future. No god wants to fall. Except for gods like Asuryan who don't care about anything, Ardaeus, whose power is not outstanding in the Sesarayi pantheon, needs a spokesperson to only win the chance to survive in this battle in heaven.
Although Druchi generally believes in the underground gods, his status has always been awkward. Even Edreze has more admirers than him. The boy in front of him is a good candidate, with good strength and brains, but with As the Prince of Caledor, he would definitely not accept his status as the Chosen One, so he continued to speak.
"I can give you the support you need, but in exchange, you must help my church expand."
Imrik thought this was okay, using the support of a god in exchange for some religious people, but Imrik Ke planned to discuss the conditions with this god, "Can other races do it?"
Staring at Imric, Ardaeus knew that this was one of the few opportunities he had. If Imrik continued to look for Vaal, although that The guy's incarnation is in Athel Loren, but he will support Imric in exchange for surviving the War in Heaven.
"As long as it's an intelligent life, it's fine."
After saying that, he turned around and squeezed the brazier with his hands. Under Zhi's control, the flames condensed into a ball and turned into an obsidian the size of a brick. Not far away, Imric could feel The powerful divine power exuding from that piece of obsidian was revealed.
Then he threw it to Imric, and Ardaeus finally said, "Get this thing to the church of Vaal, they know how to use it."
After speaking, the high temperature carried by his body dissipated, and the eyes burning like flames were extinguished, Apparently it had left the body of the high priest.
