Chapter 10 News of the Metal Dragon God
"Does Isreal actually want to abdicate?"
When Joshua heard this news, except for being shocked at the first time, he unexpectedly did not feel very strange.
Think about it carefully, what's so surprising about this?
I'm afraid only a fool can't tell that the emperor of Isrell has long wanted to leave the house and stop doing it!
As we all know, Isreel Delmond was not the original heir of the empire. He was forced to raise his gun to fight after all his brothers as the prince were killed... But no one expected that this seemingly ordinary prince had such outstanding talent in combat. Not only did he grow up rapidly on the battlefield, but he finally killed orc Khan on the battlefield and ascended to the throne with the power of legend.
Although he is strong, he is not a good emperor at all. Compared to commanding an empire, Isrell prefers to go to the battlefield to kill enemies. Other things like political struggles, intrigues, conspiracies, and tricks are not impossible. However, compared to these, he is more willing to use simple and direct means to achieve it. For example, the Skynet system monitoring can monitor all crimes and unscrupulous systems very much because it is very convenient.
Such a person, saying that he doesn't want to be an emperor... can that be called news?
"It's nothing strange, Nostradamus." Thinking of this, Joshua actually stretched out his hand, patted the old wizard on the shoulder, and kindly comforted the other party, "I dare say that when he made the Skynet system a few years ago, he was already thinking of finding an heir and focusing on doing this... Don't worry, with us here, the empire will not be in chaos."
"No, the empire will certainly not be in chaos." Nostradamus slapped Joshua's hand angrily: "Isrel is not dead, and there are three legends in the empire. No matter how chaotic the situation is, it is not our turn to be in chaos."
Speaking of this, his expression suddenly became serious: "Jothia, you know what I am worried about!"
Hearing this sentence, Joshua fell into silence, and No. 3, who was sitting on his shoulder, opened his eyes slightly, and the divine runes of the God of the Sky were revealed on the girl's forehead.
The warriors certainly knew what Nostradamus was worried about now.
The conflicting continent in the previous life was almost the same as Star Descent 840. During this period of 841, the emperor of the Northern Empire, Isrell, died in the imperial capital due to the curse. This news was concealed by the imperial royal family, to be precise, by the imperial princes and the harems of the emperor... Rumors said that Isrell left a will at that time and appointed who inherited the throne, but until the warriors traveled through time, no one knew what the emperor had written in the will.
In the following years, in order to compete for the throne, the royal heirs broke out in a large-scale civil war, causing the Northern Empire to suffer and the people to live in poverty. A large number of advanced magical technologies were not used on the enemies of mankind, but on their compatriots.
Although the power obtained by Isrell after advancing to the legend can rewrite reality and even achieve everything in his heart to a certain extent, he cannot deceive himself that the secret wounds he had suffered were the most sinister means that the orc priest could use at that time, combined with a totem curse and erosion rune, its poison is enough to curse and kill a dragon king without any defense, and a metal dragon king died on this curse.
Isrell could not deceive himself to ignore the hidden injuries caused by this curse, and even legends could not ignore it, so his body would fade and eventually die silently.
Of course, now Isrell, because Joshua gave the other party a divine crystal early on, helping him understand the mystery of divine... This is indeed a very useful method. With the high-level Isrell legend and the top qualification in the world, he naturally quickly learned something from the divine crystal left by the God of Luck and Despair, and curbed the deterioration of his injuries.
Some time ago, Isrell directly punished criminals across the country through the Skynet system, suppressing all the nobles who were ready to act and act badly, creating a peaceful and prosperous era that was not very turbulent even under the disturbance of the evil gods of death.
Because he had obtained his own divinity, Isrell believed that he could do more than before. He believed that the original toxicity could no longer kill him, so the hidden wound that had been entangled with Isrell for more than ten years easily dissipated.
Similarly, because of gaining divinity, self-understanding divinity, and achieving divinity that belongs entirely to you, Isrell naturally thinks that he can become a "new god".
His power will also urge Isreal to go this way for the same reason.
"So, is he going to become a god?"
Without any tactfulness, Joshua sighed, and he waved his hand to let Heigo continue playing, while taking Nostradamus back to the lord's mansion: "Some time ago, the Gods of Power and Justice often talked to him, and the gods also believed that Isrel was a God-awakened person and could become His heir."
"And I also know that the concept of justice and the God of Power is very consistent with Isreir's philosophy. If His Majesty Xing Zheng really handed over the inheritance to Isreir before his destruction, then he really has the qualification to become a new generation of God of Justice and Power."
"Yes, if God wants to choose an heir, he must choose an existence with similar doctrines and ideas to himself, or even exactly the same."
Seeing that Joshua also understood the current situation very well, Nostradamus couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. His expression was a little tired. The old mage was always tired. He said slowly: "So Isreel understood why he accepted His Majesty Xing Zheng's inheritance and wanted to become a god, but the situation now is not just these simple questions... and the priesthood's ability."
Speaking of this, Nostradamus's expression couldn't help but sink.
The main object of faith in the Northern Empire is the power of the Gods and the punishment of the righteous. Naturally, true gods do not need faith to exist in order. Faith only makes them easier when fighting against divine erosion. The priests also do not need gods to obtain divine arts. As long as they have good thoughts and have their own set of order logic, the holy light will respond to the priests and reduce their power.
But even so, because of information exchange, believers of Xing Zheng will have a set of special divine arts related to the divine nature of Xing Zheng, which will be distinguished from believers of other gods... Not long ago, before Xing Zheng burst out with all his strength and the gods were destroyed in the abyss of extreme depression, just as Xing Zheng broke through the Styx, all believers of Xing Zheng began to gradually lose the special divine arts related to Xing Zheng.
"Most of the priests in the empire began to lose the power of the 'power of power'. Although they are still priests, they are much weaker than before."
Sitting on the sofa in the guest room, Nostradamus said with a frown: "The Northern Empire is a gathering place for believers of the God of Power. Without the magic of power, their strength has declined very quickly. Some of them cannot even defeat the monsters that they could have easily defeated before, causing considerable chaos in many areas."
"In order to allow all priests who have lost their miracle favor to regain the magic of power, Isrell wants to ascend to the gods of power as soon as possible and become a new god of power and justice."
Having said that, Joshua finally understood why the old mage was frowning.
Not being an emperor is not a problem. Anyway, as long as the three legendary powerful men are not dead, the empire will not fall into chaos.
Trying to become a god is not a problem. For Isrel, becoming a god may be the most suitable direction for him to make progress.
Nostradamus was not against these two things, and he was happy to see it.
The problem is that Isrell wants to become a god immediately soon, but the entire empire has not yet been prepared for it.
"Although the story of ascending to God has always been circulated and it seems that there is indeed a set of effective rituals, until today, no one has truly ascended to the throne through various magic circles and magic... Want to become a god? How could it be that simple!"
Speaking of this, Nostradamus was full of bitterness: "He wanted to ascend to God in such a hurry. If he failed, not to say that he died, the inheritance of His Majesty Xing Zheng would also be lost, not to mention the possible turmoil. Although the two of us are here, the empire cannot fall into real chaos, but instead of taking the risk to try his luck, why not delay the time for ascending to God a little and increase the success rate? If he died, no matter how small the turmoil was, technological innovation and exploration in other worlds would definitely have to wait until the new emperor could restart again."
In this way, the Northern Empire, which originally occupied the leading reform momentum, may lag behind other forces.
Joshua understood very well that this was the conceptual difference between Isrel and Nostradamus. The former wanted to become a god as soon as possible, and while becoming stronger, it could also ensure that believers of the powerful gods could regain special exclusive magic. The latter wanted to be more stable. Compared with the small riots now, they were more concerned about the long-term order in the future.
It is hard to say who Joshua supports. Isrel believes in his strength and will. Now he can take a step faster, and Nostradamus wants to ensure the stable development of the empire as much as possible, without any accidents... This is not a mistake.
"Well... I will send a message to persuade Isreal to slow down the steps. Moreover, the loss of the priests' unique magic is actually not a purely bad thing. The decline in strength in a short period of time can also give them a deeper understanding of the true meaning of the holy light."
After thinking about it, Joshua finally decided to lean towards Nostradamus. He said, "It really doesn't work. He decided to become a god recently. I will help him and minimize the risks as much as possible."
The support of Nostradamus was not because Joshua was unwilling to take risks, but because he believed that now was indeed not a good time to become a god.
In order to suppress the abyss and defeat the evil gods of death, both Joshua and the remaining six gods have suffered considerable damage now, and they are all recuperating. This is not their heyday. At this stage, he and the gods cannot guarantee the safety of God Isrelden, who cannot take action at will.
However, if Isreel insists on ascending to God immediately, then Joshua can also watch the birth of a true god from a close distance from the perspective of escort.
Maybe he can find a little trick to suppress his divinity in the ritual of God Isreldon, or gain some inspiration... This is not a bad thing.
When he heard that Joshua agreed to this matter, Nostradamus felt relieved when he touched his beard.
He and Isrell have been masters and apprentices for many years and have always helped each other. However, this time, what Isrell wants to do is not something he can do alone. Although now, the relationship between legendary strong men in the world is much better than before, Nostradamus is still unwilling to pretend to be the hands of others when it comes to the gods.
If possible, he still hopes that as an imperial nobleman, Joshua, who belongs to the same camp, can help Isrel, but the old mage also knows that Joshua is in a bad condition now, so he came here to see the situation of the warriors in person and ask about the other party's attitude.
Things are not complicated. After deciding on the next action, Nostradamus prepared to say goodbye to Joshua. The two sides talked about the recently popular game "Contradiction Continent".
Nostradamus is also a member of the internal test players, and is still a master who has reached the fourth civilization stage, but even the old mage who is a legendary strong man has not yet reached the fifth stage.
"How should we defeat the three Chaos Legions in Another World?" Before leaving, the old mage felt very puzzled: "A single legion in Another World is equivalent to an opponent that a world civilization can defeat with all its might. Even if the two groups rely on tactics, they can only barely suppress them. The three legions are sieges, which are not something that a civilization can resist."
"The answer is very simple, there are many solutions."
Joshua naturally would not hide his old friend Nostradamus. He shrugged and said while making No. 3 shake, "The easiest one is to cultivate a legendary figure with super potential. With his strength, he assists the entire civilized army and defeats three legions in turn."
"Secondly, you should be able to see that the three Chaos Legions are not in the same camp at all. They will also have civil wars themselves. As long as they retreat a little, huddle in the strategic rear, and give up their positions to fight each other, you can take advantage of the civil war between the Chaos Legions and raid their portals and end the war."
"And the more orthodox way of clearing the level I designed is to quickly attack and give up defense and take the initiative to attack each alien legion has a world that has become empty but still has a large amount of resources to retain. As long as the first alien legion army can be quickly solved from the beginning, it can quickly rely on the resources of one world to recover its vitality and defeat three legions in turn."
As for the fifth stage, what exactly is and how to play, Joshua did not reveal a word, and before Nostradamus left Joshua with regretful departure, he left a big news for Joshua.
"The Metal Dragon God Ten Thousand Steel Dragon wants to see you."
When he said this, Nostradamus had already opened the space-time channel. He patted his forehead and said with some annoyance: "Damn, the power of this Majesty will affect people's cognition. Even if I am a legendary strongman, I almost forgot about this... In short, the Metal Dragon God is now in the Pioneer Fortress. He is communicating with the Star-Shepherd Khan and others recently, and seems to have received some strange news."
"He wants to see you, Joshua, I suggest you find an opportunity to go there once. Unlike the Five-Colored Dragon Clan, the metal dragon has always been a representative of order and gentleness."
Saying this, Nostradamus, who had entered the space-time channel, couldn't help but show a rather strange expression. He said in confusion: "It's strange, He only wants to see you, the inheritor of the sage who killed the evil god."
"See you, the 'Soul-burning King'."
