Chapter Seven The Holy Child(1/2)
Chapter Seven Holy Infant
A few days later, Rogge stood speechlessly in front of Amoro. The huge and powerful top-class demons now looked extremely depressed. The magic array that extracted its magic power had long stopped operating. With Amoro's extremely weak physical condition, a little energy might kill him. Fortunately, the ancient elves had enough energy stored in it and could support it for a while.
"Amoro, what's going on?" Rogue asked.
Amoro lay on the ground and heard Rog's voice. He only moved a huge ear and signaled to hear it.
No matter how Roger threatens and induces, he just refuses to say a word.
Rogge had learned from the elf mage that the magic circle that extracted Amoro's mental power on the night of the accident suddenly ran wildly, draining almost all its vitality. Now it seems that even Amoro, with amazing recovery, could not recover his vitality without ten days or half a month. However, the three elf mages present that night were knocked unconscious at the same time, and only Amoro knew what was happening.
The elves said that Amoro seemed to have had a premonition of something at that time and was very panicked, and even asked them to increase the defense of the hall.
It seems that only Amoro knows the truth, but it has made up its mind to not say a word, which makes Rogge helpless. The fat man is not heartbroken by Amoro's life energy, he is just worried that this strong man who comes from and can come and go at will in the Oracle City.
This time when he returned to the City of Oracle, he wanted to arrange everything, and then fight to the death with the Druids. The battle with the City of Yunxiao is different from the battle between the two countries. The battle between the strong men on both sides will determine the outcome of the war. On this point, Roger is very confident.
This confidence comes largely from the fact that Elder Druid, who is still imprisoned in Dresden. This elder has become an excellent test piece for Roger to test various tortures and darkness and undead magic. Of course, he will not forget to question all the Druid's spells in the elder's memory. Unfortunately, Druid's powerful magic mostly requires belief in the goddess of nature. No matter how talented Roger has in magic, he will definitely not be able to use it.
If other elders in the Presbyterian Church are at the same level as the elder, Rogge will be sure to win. However, there are many variables in the war, such as the true strength of the Wrath of the Sky and the movements of the Silver Dragon clan, which are enough to influence the direction of victory or defeat.
This time when he went north, Roger was not going to take too many people, but only brought the dark side of Moon with him. He left all the Ticton warriors in the Principality. Now Dulin is tracking the footsteps of the orcs in the deep mountains, while Bauhinia Butterfly is busy setting up training camps. But the fat man is not at ease with them. With the strong Zagur leading the fierce Ticton warriors are enough to suppress the small rebellion that these two brothers and sisters may bring.
Roger hurriedly saw various workshops in the city and the laboratory, and then returned to the Temple of the Gods. An elf supervisor was already waiting there.
“How is the situation recently?”
"Lord Rog, with the protection of Hilo, four new lives have been added to the Oracle City this month, three women and one man. In the past six months, there have been twenty new elves in the entire Oracle City, and this speed is faster than that of other elves tribes. I think in another hundred years, the prosperity of Oracle City can be expected."
Rogge said silently and said for a long time: "Cluster all the elves babies who are born within two years and send them to Dresden to receive the baptism of the holy light. This will be beneficial to the elves after growing up."
The supervisor answered. Roger finally couldn't help asking, "Where are you elves, I mean... why are you born so few and so slow?"
The supervisor was stunned and did not expect Roger to ask such a question, but he still replied: "You already know that elves can only have one descendant every ten years. Moreover, the new elves need careful care from their parents and tribes, and they will only be independent after thirty years. This is a great burden for both parents and tribes. Therefore, we are not willing to have too many descendants."
Roger nodded and said nothing. In fact, even if the elves are willing to give birth, they cannot give birth to too many offspring. Although the fat man is impatient, it is useless to be impatient.
Roger suddenly thought that throughout the history of the mainland, all powerful races with long life basically faced the problem of low fertility. Whether it is dragons or giants with strong individual strength, or elves who created brilliant magic civilizations. According to the collection records, even in the glorious era, the total number of people in the Elf Empire had not exceeded 10 million. On the contrary, dwarves, humans and even orcs with relatively short lifespans and low individual abilities had established huge empires. Now, humans with the worst individual abilities have become the most powerful race on the continent. The territory of the human empire occupies more than half of the known part of the continent. Dwarves empires are also everywhere, and in the deep mountains that humans are difficult for humans to set foot, there are one dwarves underground cities after another.
Enough wisdom, huge population, appropriate division of labor and cooperation and enough desires are the key to a race's rise and glory. Elfs are good, but the number is small, and they are too small. Although Rog is careful, the number of elves is still getting smaller and smaller. Even if the 200,000 elves remaining in the green sea is actually useless. Looking at the human race, there is now nearly ten million people in the territory of the Duchy of Ale alone. Rog suddenly realized that it is impossible for elves to return to their glorious era.
But that was the trouble of the elf, not his trouble.
The fat man tiptoed toward a familiar back and hugged her in his arms.
The elves who were attacked were not panicked at all. She looked back and saw that it was Roger and immediately said, "Mr. Roger, I think you are the only one who can do this boring thing. Where do you want to do this this time? I put down what I have in my hand and go to find you."
Roger pushed her to the wall and smiled, "It's right here! Now!"
Effier finally panicked and said hurriedly: "It's not possible here, this is a corridor! Someone will see it!"
Seeing Effier's panicked expression, Roger felt unspeakable joy. Taking advantage of the opportunity that she was holding clothes with both hands, he quickly untied Effier's clothes and occupied her body in one fell swoop.
The fat man smiled while moving, "What are you afraid of! Even if someone comes, I will find out in advance. Moreover, it doesn't matter if you let someone see it."
"But..." Effier struggled and tried to escape from Roger in vain. "Now someone is watching!"
Roger smiled and said, "Where are there people..."
Roger turned his head and happened to see Fengdie standing on the other end of the corridor, looking at them quietly.
"Fengdie? When did you...you come?"
Feng Die smiled slightly and said, "Just arrived just now, you guys continue."
Under Feng Die's inexplicable gaze, Roger suddenly felt uncomfortable all over. He loosened his hand and Effier took the opportunity to escape. She tidied up her clothes, picked up the clothes scattered on the ground to be washed, and hurriedly left.
Just as he turned a corner, Effier was stopped by the wind butterfly that suddenly appeared.
Fengdie looked at Effie'er with a divine look, and Effie'er also looked at her up and down. Fengdie has now changed into a brand new pair of armor, which is still tailor-made for her, decorated with rose branches with various magical effects. However, the coloring of the armor is contrary to the blue or green tone that the elves like, but is based on black and decorated with red. If Fengdie in the past is clear and delicate, she is now filled with a stern and murderous aura in the incompetent color.
"Who are you? Why can you feel my existence?" Feng Die asked coldly.
"My name is Effier, an elf, a maid, who is responsible for cleaning the temple of the God's envoy. If there is any other responsibility, it is to go to bed with him when the God's envoy requests him. Do you have any questions?"
Feng Die moved his right hand slightly, and a dark green short sword jumped into her hand. At this time, she was wearing a chain glove with her fingers exposed, and the slender five-finger nails were dyed with dark green that was nearly black. These nails were dyed with magic paint, and their functions were not only for beauty and decoration.
"Effie! How did you sense my existence? If you don't tell the truth, then I don't mind killing a maid!"
Effier was not panicked at all and said, "Mr. Fengdie, you used to be a moonlight lily growing under the ancient elf tree, but now you have turned into a beautiful and dangerous blood-colored rose. The City of Oracle is a peaceful garden, and blood-colored roses like you are very conspicuous wherever you appear. Just now, I smelled the murderous aura on you and realized your arrival."
Feng Die was stunned and sighed quietly after a long time. She gently tweaked her five fingers with her right hand, and the dark green short sword was sheathed silently.
When Effier saw him, she walked away with her clothes in her arms.
"Wait a minute!" Feng Die suddenly called Effier, "Rog...will come to find you as soon as he comes back. Did you do the same before?"
Effier thought for a while and said, "The God-entrusted Lord has not known me for a long time. Since he met, he has been in the Oracle City for fifteen days, and I have been sleeping with him for a total of seventeen times. That's it."
Feng Die was caught off guard by Effier's straightforwardness for a moment, and felt that he was blocking his chest in one breath, not knowing what to say.
"Why!" She looked at Effier's back and finally called out.
"Because I don't want anything, he feels no pressure!" Effier's crisp voice came.
A few days later, Rogge left the Oracle City with his full dressed dark side, and on this trip, he also brought more than twenty elves baby girls. Once he entered the principality, he would see a couple in groups of three or three on the road, carrying their newborn children to Dresden.
Before rushing to Dresden, Roger issued an order to the entire principality, saying that the next candidate saint was selected for the Eye of Wisdom. The selection range was a beautiful and smart baby girl under one year old. The announcement also specifically stated that there was no limit on race.
If a baby girl is chosen by the goddess, she will be trained by the Eye of Wisdom until she grows up. The baby girl's parents will not only gain a lot of wealth, but will be promoted immediately if they take military or public positions. If they are nobles with titles, they will also be given a new residence and promoted to the title.
Such generous conditions immediately caused a sensation in the entire Principe of Ale. Almost all families with newborn babies rushed to Dresden with their children. They all heard that when choosing, the goddess would personally bless all the holy infants with the holy light. After receiving the goddess' blessing, the girl's life will be safe, smooth, rich and beautiful. In this way, even if she fails to choose, there will be many benefits.
Of course, these are all rumors that Roger intentionally sent to spread.
In fact, he had just learned through the flames of the altar that the strong holy light when selecting baby girls will cause great damage to these baby girls. Baby girls who can resist the burning of holy light are the ideal targets of arrival.
Roger walked around the altar, thinking repeatedly that if this lie was made up seamlessly. Fortunately, the damage to the baby girl by the holy light was not fatal, and most of the symptoms might not be discovered many years later. So long has exceeded the scope of Roger's consideration.
In a short time, more than 2,000 baby girls were sent to the main hall of Eye of Wisdom in Dresden, and some babies were sent one after another. Even if they knew that the Holy Light would damage the baby girl, Rogue was not prepared to cancel the plan. A goddess who successfully arrived was still a goddess who had always favored him very much, which would have a decisive impact on the situation in the entire north. In addition, Feng Yue challenged the Silver Dragon King, which prompted him to temporarily postpone his plan to travel north. After all, these two things were the top priority in front of him. The fat man is now worried about whether the Druids still have enough power to distribute people to make trouble for him in the current situation. In the past few confrontations, the Druids suffered heavy losses.
No matter what, it is not easy to make trouble on the fat man’s land.
With such a large number of baby girls gathered, Roger thought he could win the favor of the goddess, but the flames from the altar were just undeniable answers, indicating that the fat man's grades were barely reasonable. This made Roger a little confused. He mobilized his efforts to concentrate so many baby girls, so who could do better in this matter than him?
Bone Dragon also has the same question.
Wina created an exquisite sacred flame recliner for herself with pure white sacred flames. At this moment, she was freely leaning on the chair, flipping through the memories of the origin of God with her own hands.
Hearing the Bone Dragon’s question, she replied lazily: “There will be a total of 3,100 baby girls on the scheduled God’s Chosen Day. What’s this! The Church of Light provided alternative bodies for ordinary Advent angels back then, and which time was not ten thousand? The perfect body I had when I first came, I don’t know how many people I chose, and I don’t know how long the church has cultivated. There is no way to let him choose the coming body for me. There is only 3,000 choices, so you have to be very lucky to find a suitable one. Alas, use it first, and when you see a good body, you might as well change it.”
The bone dragon flattered first, and then said carefully: "Master Wina, aren't you attracted to Nicholas's body? The silver miracle body should be better than these ordinary baby girls, right?"
Wina sighed and said, "The Higher Dragon Clan is not that easy to deal with. I am not sure that I can capture Nicholas alive. Even if I catch it, the process of destroying its soul will definitely be very difficult. Humph, in this process, if there are any people who are ill-hearted or subordinates do something, wouldn't I be in danger?"
The bone dragon's heart was thrilled and said hurriedly: "Master Weina, I am loyal!"
Wina said lightly: "In Gregory, your loyalty will become a model for future generations."
Just as the bone dragon was about to show his loyalty, he saw the holy flame on Vina's recliner suddenly extinguished!
Then the world in the painting ripples appeared, like a twisted mirror, which was finally broken under the huge pressure. The strong wind blew the bone dragon and flew several times one after another, and was thrown hundreds of meters away before it stabilized its body.
Feng Yue and Weina once again confronted each other in the air, but this time, there was something inexplicable between them.
"Fengyue, you recovered so quickly, where did you find the energy?"
Feng Yue did not answer, but she seemed to have abundant strength and had no intention of attacking.
Wina smiled faintly and said, "I will know if you don't say it later."
Feng Yue suddenly said, "Why don't you want this body? Haven't you always wanted to seize control?"
Wina chuckled and said, "Because I think your conditions are not good enough! You want to exchange your body for my protection for him. Although I like your body very much, protecting him not only goes against my true intentions, but it is a very troublesome thing in itself. Humph, I endured it a lot of hard work several times before I killed him. Do you actually want me to protect him? Feng Yue, are you really doing this just for the instinct that is implanted deep in your soul?"
Feng Yue said lightly: "Motivation is not something I care about. Now you have lost a chance, and I have regained my strength. Let's fight again."
"Fengyue, from the moment you returned to the abandoned land and fell into a deep sleep, no matter whether you want to admit it or not, you finally lost to me once. I didn't want your body or kill him. You should always compensate me, right? That way, I only have the right to act first between us in the future. What do you think?"
Feng Yue was stunned. She didn't expect that Wina would put forward such a strange condition. In the past, they could fight at any time, and they were all focused on guarding each other, so there was no difference who would take action first.
That day, when Feng Yue finally couldn't maintain her existence in another world and had to return to the world of death, she knew that she wouldn't be seriously injured, even if she was in good condition, she could not be a match for Vina who had already prepared for her. So she chose to kill the Ancient Silver Dragon Emperor in a nearly dead manner, and exchanged Vina's protection for Roger in the future on her own terms.
Of course Feng Yue knew that Weina could ignore her request.
But, she really tried her best.
Looking at Feng Yue who was stunned, Weina asked again, and Feng Yue finally nodded in a daze.
Wina's proud and crisp laughter echoed in the sky of the world of death: "Fengyue! I no longer want your body. He is still useful to me for the time being. I will not kill him yet, so I am not interested in fighting with you now. You just keep on the shame of defeat! Haha, as for whether to accept your challenge in the future, it depends on my mood!"
Feng Yue opened her mouth slightly, trying to say something, but she couldn't say it.
The bone dragon flapped its wings and howled far away: "Master Weina! You are so..." It suddenly remembered that as the angel of Vina, despicable and shamelessness was obviously not a qualified praise. But her current behavior seemed to have nothing to do with words such as holiness and nobility.
For the first time in his life, Bone Dragon couldn't find a suitable flattery.
Wina looked at the dazed Feng Yue and smiled, "When I teach those arrogant silver dragons a lesson, I will descend to that world. After successful arrival, I will help you get rid of the shackles of the abandoned land, and from then on you will be able to live in that world for a long time."
Feng Yue said lightly: "I will protect you during your arrival."
Wina smiled and said, "I feel much more at ease. Whether it is the "loyalty" Gregory or him, they are not reliable people."
"When you come successfully, I will hand over the complete source of God to you. In exchange, you will protect him in the future."
