Prosperous Years Volume Chapter 3 Confusion II(1/2)

The Three Gods' Confusions in the Prosperous Age

"When we have strength, we use our strength to overwhelm the enemy; when we have no strength, we use our skills to kill the enemy. When we have neither strength nor skills, what should we do?" Xius was tempted by his side.

The underground dwarf jumped up, waved the dagger in his hand and howled, "Then we will use despicable and shamelessness... no! Use our wisdom and our great personality to defeat our opponents!"

Sius smiled and said, "That's right. Our only purpose is to successfully defeat the enemy. As long as we achieve this goal, the method does not matter. However, the most effective method is to make your opponent look down on you, and the other is to make your opponent believe you. When you transform into an underground dwarf, it is easy to let the enemy look down on you. When you need your opponent to believe in you, you transform into a sacred dragon. You will find that in this plane, morality is a very useful weapon and a good disguise. To use morality well, it is not just as simple as replacing the despicable shamelessness you talk about with wisdom, although this is the first step. You can experience it slowly in the future."

Gregory nodded as if he understood. It touched the heavy parchment in his arms and decided to memorize all the contents on it. On the parchment were the words commonly used by Shius for Gregory, those who were moral or thought to be moral, and those words that Gregory liked to use according to these words.

This plane is indeed much more complex than the world of death. Underground dwarfs' pursuit of power seems to be too tortuous and complex. They even exceed the understanding of Gregory of Wisdom, but it believes in Elder Sius's judgment.

Gregory, who was born in the demon world, has a very simple understanding of power, and the one who survived is the most powerful. It has observed Elder Xius for a long time. No matter how dangerous the wind and waves are, this old fox can survive without any danger. You must know that even if he has become the master of Fengyue, with her powerful power, he has been seriously injured and wandered on the verge of death many times!

Therefore, although Gregory could not understand it yet, he decided to keep in mind the teachings of Sius and use the two weapons of "slightness" and "trust".

Of course, a certain amount of strength is also necessary. The underground dwarf took advantage of the night and left Sius' room and found a place where no one was going to practice sword skills.

The night is low and the blue moon is dark. Richelieu is already asleep.

In the late night, a carriage marked with Straw's family emblem drove out of Roger's house. In the carriage, Serena was sitting alone. She smiled slightly on the corner of her mouth, and looked happy. Her cheeks were still blushing as if it had not yet faded, like a pink lotus with clear dew.

Although she had only been with Roger for half an hour, she was completely satisfied. Serena knew that Roger was very busy and could have half an hour that he had wholeheartedly opposed, although this was the only half an hour in a week, she was completely satisfied.

The indescribable joy filled Serena's chest, because Rogue finally had a little different to her. Tonight, she was carrying a letter from Straw. She must let Rogue agree to close the gap in the abyss. She had heard of this, and knew that Rogue had not fully agreed, but she did not understand the seriousness of the matter. Until today, Straw solemnly told her how serious the situation was. The gap in the abyss was becoming increasingly unstable. If there was any mistake, it was not only the problem of the father losing power alone, but also whether the lives of hundreds of people in the entire family of Straw could continue under the anger of the emperor.

So Straw hinted that she would let Roger agree to this matter at all costs.

According to rumors, Roger's lust and bloodthirsty are also famous. Before coming, Serena was mentally prepared and was ready to get rid of the last line of defense. But she never expected that Roger would chat with her like the most gentle and polite gentleman during the half hour of their stay alone, without any attempt to infringe on her.

After Serena asked to help Straw close the gap in the abyss, Roger finally agreed although hesitant and embarrassed. Not only did he not take the opportunity to propose any additional conditions, he also enthusiastically asked Straw to hand over the sealed magic circle to him so that he could prepare early.

However, is this enough for happiness once a week, every half hour? Serena is completely unwilling to think about this question.

As soon as Serena left, Roger immediately returned to his magic lab. Now his magic lab is very tightly defended. Not to mention that the fat man has set up many trap mechanisms with his recent understanding of power and magic, few people can pass the level of Androni, who lives next to the magic lab. What's more, there is a Sius not far away?

On the central ground of the Magic Laboratory, there is a ground elves recently developed by Roger. Each magic talisman is etched on a polished copper plate, and mercury flows in the engraving lines connected to different magic talismans. Flashes of gentle and moist magic water mist rise up, and the temperature and humidity in the room make people feel very comfortable.

In the center of the magic circle, a little green light was slowly flying back and forth. Although its brightness was faint, the magical fog rising around it was like thousands of beasts meeting the beast king, instinctively giving up a path for the green light flight.

When the green light floats for a moment, a very subtle lightning will be separated, hitting the surrounding magic energy. The magic energy hit by the lightning will instantly turn green, and then seep into the green light along the trajectory of the electric light. The whole process looks like the green light is constantly eating.

Although this process was repeated, no green light became brighter. However, the four white crystals placed at the four corners of the magic array that provide energy for the operation of the magic array were rapidly smaller. Obviously, the elf magic array consumed a lot at this moment.

Roger sat in a corner of the lab, looking through the notes left by the dwarf Nakba.

At this moment, a small golden bell on the table next to Roger suddenly rang without hitting it. After a crisp sound of gold and stone, a scattered blue mist rose from the bell.

The laboratory door opened silently, and Androni walked in. As soon as she entered the door, her eyes were immediately attracted by the green light in the center of the elf magic circle. The moment she saw this green light, Androni felt extremely comfortable all over her body. However, for some reason, a surging sense of fear rushed out from the depths of her soul, instantly submerging her! At that moment, Androni felt that the consciousness was filled with endless green, and she was almost suffocating!

Roger's eyebrows raised slightly. He shouted lightly, and a mental attack instantly hit Androni. Although the shock wave was weak, Libby's sharp needle immediately brought her a severe pain after a piercing! The pain was fleeting, but Androni's eyes were able to get rid of the green light.

This was just a sudden change, but Androni was already sweating deeply and her face was as pale as paper.

"What... what is this?" Androni asked in shock.

At this time, a light curtain rose around the elf magic array, covering the entire magic array, and naturally covering the green light.

Rogge stood up and smiled and said, "This is the original form of the Goddess' divine power. With the Goddess's land, this divine power is very weak, but it is not something you can directly look at with the naked eye. Although it has no power, the Goddess' divine power will directly affect the soul. You have the fighting spirit of the Holy Land, but your spiritual power is not strong, so you can't see it."

"The divine power of the goddess of nature?" Androni couldn't believe it.

"That's right. The goddess of nature and her followers have to make me die. I have to leave some benefits for me." Roger said lightly.

Androni stared at Roger in a daze, and suddenly felt that the fat man in front of him became so strange. When did he start to control his divine power? Did this mediocre fat man unknowingly put his hand into the Kingdom of God?

Roger came to Androni, reached out and shook her eyes. He smiled and said, "Hi! Anne, what are you thinking?"

Androni forced a smile, looking at the fat man half shorter than her, and didn't know what to say for a moment: "Rog, you seem to have changed."

Roger smiled and said, "Where did I change? Isn't it the same as before? In fact, it's not as good as before. After this injury, my magic power has only returned to the level ten. How could you take this little bit of my power seriously?"

Androni shook her head and felt a confusion in her mind. Perhaps it was because she had just been hit by the Goddess of Nature and had not yet recovered. Roger's words seemed to be correct, but his intuition told her that he could not believe the fat man's words.

"Why did you suddenly remember to find me?" Roger looked at her and asked with a smile.

"You won't exchange Froya for Miro, are you?" Androni suddenly said with no clue.

Roger laughed and said, "Am I that kind of person?"

"Maybe." Androni's expression was particularly serious.

The fat man was so amused and cried for a moment, so he had to shake his head helplessly. He suddenly noticed Androni turned her head and looked aside, and a hazy mist gradually rose in her eyes.

Roger's heart moved and asked softly, "What's wrong, Anne?"

"I'm fine!" Androni blinked hard, trying to hold back the tears, but her eyes became wetter. She finally couldn't hide it, and turned around like a whirlwind, no longer letting Roger see her face.

"Rog, I... am very tired." Androni's voice was full of fatigue at this moment.

"Annie, just say anything you have, don't always keep it in your heart."

"You... all know what you are doing, and Froya has also found happiness. But as for me, I really don't know what I am doing." Androni said softly: "I actually don't dare to think about my future carefully. I'm just afraid that when I think about it... I'll be desperate..."

Roger sighed. He naturally knew that Androni wanted Odrech, and also knew that this idea was completely like delusion. But how should he comfort such a thing?

The fat man gently patted Androni on the back. She suddenly turned around, threw herself into Roger's arms, and started crying!

Roger hugged her quietly until she stopped her voice a little, and then laughed: "Anne, do you know that all of our lives are like candlelight in a storm, and they may be extinguished at any time. So just leave all your concerns behind and fight for it. Even if you still can't get it in the end, it doesn't matter, at least you won't regret it in the future."

Androni put her chin on Roger's shoulder and sighed quietly: "But..."

"But she is a goddess?" Roger asked with a smile.

"Yes. Fatty, why do you know everything?" Androni had had too many surprises on the fat man. Now it's commonplace and considered ordinary.

"God is not invincible either. That day, when I cut off the goddess of ice and snow, I suddenly felt like I pushed down a wall in front of me. I saw a brand new world. In fact, that world has always been there and has never changed. It blocked it from our sight. It was precisely the wall we built ourselves. How much of the power of the goddess of ice and snow comes from the power of faith in believers? It is ridiculous that we use our faith to create gods for ourselves. Gods are powerful because of faith and gain more faith because of their strength. This is a very absurd cycle! Take the goddess Audreh for example. You are desperate because you think she is invincible in your heart, so you give up. Look, a wall is piled up by yourself."

Roger patted her on the back and continued, "Actually, you are desperate anyway, why not try to challenge her? Only when you win will you have the opportunity to stand in front of her equally, and your feelings will be rewarded."

Androni finally smiled a little, and she said softly: "Care her? How could I win?"

"How can I know if I don't try it? However, I plan to challenge her. Anne. We are competitors in this matter! If you come up with any new sword skills in the future, you might as well come to me. Let's fight first to know if your sword skills are useful."

Androni stood up straight and smiled and said, "Look for you? Just your magic power now. I will cut you in half if I have a little bit of force."

The fat man looked at her up and down, and his malicious eyes made Androni blush. He said in ambiguously: "Don't blame me for not reminding you. If you lose to me this time, I won't let you go as easily as last time. Anyway, I see that your dislike of men's cleanliness has changed a lot..."

Androni was both ashamed and angry. Although she intuition reminded her that this challenge was very dangerous, her arrogance did not allow her to bow her head in front of Roger. After a moment of hesitation, she finally gritted her teeth and said cruelly: "Don't worry! If I lose to you... I will... I will... I will give you everything!"

Roger let out a burst of conspiracy through the cracks of his teeth and said, "Okay! In seven days, my magic will be restored to level 12. At that time, I will wait for you at any time!"

"If you are valuable, but unfortunately you have two enemies, either of which are far from your ability to deal with, and none of them will let you go. What should you do?" Roger asked, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at Richelieu's very famous sunset.

Robsky stood solemnly and immediately said, "This... the villain is stupid, I have to ask you for more advice."

Roger smiled and said, "It's actually very simple. Just stand between two enemies and tie them up! If the two enemies are smart, they will divide you up. Anyway, they will die, and this result will not be worse. But if they are not smart enough, or if they cannot get together for some reason, they will first start with each other for the sake of monopoly. The one who survives at that time may not be your opponent."

"Sir, it's really unfathomable!" Robertsky's flattery skills finally improved. His tone was sincere and he could hardly hear any flaws.

Roger smiled slightly, but didn't say it out loud, just let Robsky retreat.

Cassinalas and the goddess of nature could not reach an agreement anyway. The fat man thought happily.

"Come out!" Roger suddenly shouted.

"Why can you always find me? Now you are obviously seriously injured, and I have made progress?" A crisp voice came from behind Roger, with a deep helplessness in his tone.

Roger stood with his hands behind his back, and did not look back, but said coldly: "Nicole, haven't I told you that you can only come alone?"

Behind Roger, a pretty figure slowly appeared, and it was Nicole, the night dancer. She said guiltily: "This time it's... the elders sent us together."

"Is that?" Roger's voice became colder and colder. "Do you really think I can enter and exit here at will?"

The man who showed up with Nicole was a man. He couldn't suppress his anger and said, "Mr. Roger, you still owe us Dark Night Dancers 550,000 gold coins. I hope..." Halfway through his words, his eyes suddenly turned into a world of death with magic flames surging!

The man was depressed! The fireball appeared out of thin air and continued to dilate in his pupils. He instinctively wanted to dodge, but the commands from the center of his brain were not enough to reach his limbs. He had to wait for death.

Roger turned around and followed his movements. The fireball in front of the man disappeared out of thin air.

The fat man said to him coldly: "Get out!"

The male killer did not dare to say anything more. He jumped out of the window, staggered by the windowsill, and hurried away in a very embarrassing manner. Roger looked at Nicole for a while, his brows became tighter and tighter, and he looked at her with discomfort. After a long time, the fat man said, "I took that mission. However, the debt of 550,000 gold coins must be written off! This is the final condition, just report it like this!"

Nicole cheered and shouted, "The deal is completed! No need to report it. The elder has given it. This condition can be finalized immediately."

Roger was stunned, and a string of thoughts flashed like lightning in his mind, and he said in a lost voice: "So that's it! I've been fooled!"

Nicole's face was confused.

Roger sighed, knowing that Nicole certainly wouldn't know anything. He waved his hand and told her to leave too.

The fat man had exhausted the gold coins of the treasury of the Principality treasury earlier due to a series of entrusted tasks and owed the Dark Night Dancer a large sum of money. As Nicole said, nothing worse than owing money to the North's largest and most mysterious killer organization. Roger could not afford the money for a while, so the Dark Night Dancer came to him and proposed to complete the task to repay the debt, and Roger also accepted it happily.

As a result, the task of the Dark Night Dancer was the same as that of Straw's request, which was to solve the lord Cassinalas in the gap in the abyss! Roger thought about it again and again. Since Straw had already prepared half of the work, he could take over the task, on the one hand, he could sell Straw a huge favor, not to mention that he had already gained a lot of benefits from the Prime Minister of the Empire. On the other hand, he could also pay off the Dark Night Dancer's debt, which was a killing two birds with one stone.

Just then Serena came to visit, and she had a certain plan in her heart and sold a big favor to this simple girl.

Roger thought he was going to have a plan, but he suddenly realized that the Dark Night Dancer must have sold something to Straw at a high price, and it is very likely that it was the sealed magic circle. According to convention, half of the price of the Dark Night Dancer must be charged after the seal is successful, and the half of the commissioned amount must be far more than 550,000 gold coins. If Roger did not help Straw, then half of the price of the Dark Night Dancer would definitely not be able to collect it.

The fat man couldn't help but secretly regret that if he had known this, he should have blackmailed the Dark Night Dancer back.

However, at this moment, the fat man who was plotted could only sigh.

"On the one hand, she encouraged her to indulge herself, and on the other hand, she used jealousy to stimulate... That's right, this is definitely the most effective way. Most of these 340 books say the same." Wina thought to herself. She was becoming more and more confident.
