It belongs to the Eternal Empire, in a relatively remote border town.
At this time, the night had just faded away, and the morning light was dim.
"Chester, thaumaturgy level, three, unqualified."
Recalling the scene of yesterday's thaumaturgy level test in his mind, the boy's expression became extremely bitter, his fists were clenched tightly, and his nails almost pierced into his flesh without even realizing it.
The family that controls this border town, the eldest son of the local Earl's family, a young man named Chester looked in a daze, swaying three times, walking blankly on the bustling streets, letting the busy flow of people pass by him.
The eldest son of the city lord's family was originally a thaumaturgy genius. When he was only five years old, he was detected to have thaumaturgy talent. When he was six years old, he officially became a thaumaturgy master and was given thaumaturgy gems and badges.
Years later, his thaumaturgy level reached three, and he could use three thaumaturgy gems at the same time. He could definitely be called a thaumaturgy genius.
He is a genius himself, and he is the eldest son of the city lord's family.
Naturally, Chester gained the expectations of the people in the entire city.
However, Tian was jealous of Yingcai. When Chester was seven years old, he accidentally fell down while riding out and hit his head on a hard rock. He was severely injured. After finally recovering from his injuries, he discovered that he had a talent for thaumaturgy.
After disappearing, eight more years have passed, and his thaumaturgy has not improved at all, still maintaining the level he reached at the age of seven.
Today, Chester is fifteen years old.
According to the rules of the Earl's family, if his thaumaturgy level fails to reach ten before the age of sixteen, he will be deprived of his status as the family's heir.
In the past, Chester had some extravagant hopes, thinking that as soon as he woke up, his talent might return and he could reach the standard before he turned sixteen.
But when he woke up from his dream again and again in the middle of the night, he found with a gloomy heart that the situation had not changed.
What makes Chester feel most ironic is that when he was still a genius, the children of his own race who surrounded him diligently became indifferent and repulsive after realizing that he had become a waste, and even targeted them in various ways.
He was struck with malice, as if he was embarrassment and anger at the fact that he had been so attentive and flattering to him.
The gap between genius and waste, and the reversal of the eyes of the people around him, made Chester, although young, have already developed a mature heart.
However, what made Chester find it most difficult to accept was this.
The daughter of an earl from a neighboring city who was originally engaged to him actually came to break off the engagement, which made the father of the city lord of Chester feel extremely humiliated. However, because of Chester's situation, he had no choice but to agree.
If it was just for himself, Chester felt it was okay, he was used to it.
However, due to his own situation, his father was humiliated, which made Chester feel ashamed, because when everyone was ridiculing him, only his father still supported him.
In a daze, Chester walked to the city gate.
Bathed in the bright sunshine, he stopped, raised his head, and looked at the sun hanging high in the sky, spreading light and heat towards the earth. The sun was bright and soft, but in Chester's eyes, it was so dazzling.
It burned my eyes, and the light shining on me was extremely cold.
"Perhaps it is the best choice for me to leave Rocco City."
"I'm a loser here, and my father, as the city lord, will only be in trouble."
Chester sighed deeply, already having the will to die in his heart.
The realm outside the city was beyond the reach of a small third-level thaumaturge like him. It was full of dangerous and man-eating beasts.
Looking at the vast world outside the city, Chester hesitated.
Immediately, he laughed at himself: "I think I am strong inside, but when faced with the danger of death, it is no different from other people. I am still afraid and hesitant."
"However, if a loser like me brings shame to the family, just die. There is no point in living anyway."
At this thought, Chester's eyes became determined and calm.
His thin body swayed, and he resolutely stepped out of the city gate, step by step towards the dangerous wilderness, towards his own end.
but.
Little did Chester know that his decision today, this step he took, would completely change the trajectory of his entire life.
Time is like water, passing by leisurely.
The sky gradually darkened, night replaced day, and the sun sank into the distant horizon.
Unknowingly, Chester had walked into a dark forest surrounding Rocco City.
Waves of cold wind blew by, swaying the surrounding treetops and branches. Coupled with the faint roar of wild beasts in the distance, the rustling tree crowns trembled, as if a group of demons were dancing, creating a terrifying atmosphere.
Walking in the dark forest, even the bright moonlight was blocked by the thick canopy of trees, and it was almost impossible to see the surroundings.
Chester was holding an exquisite short staff made of something like brass, inlaid with three strange gemstones. It glowed with a faint light and was the only light source that allowed Chester to barely see the surrounding two meters in diameter.
Although he was determined to die, Chester didn't want to die too miserable and miserable.
He wanted to fight a ferocious beast and die in a bloody battle.
According to the family's teachings, being able to die in battle is an honor for the nobility.
"But isn't it very dangerous deep in the Barak Forest? I heard there are ferocious beasts everywhere."
"But why didn't I meet anyone?"
"Am I not even worthy of a glorious death?"
Chester fell into deep self-doubt and denial.
Under normal circumstances, a third-level thaumaturge like him who went deep into the Barak Forest would have encountered dangerous beasts long ago, and there would have been a fierce battle of life or death, but the current situation was uncharacteristically different, except for one.
Apart from an inexplicable palpitation and a sense of terror and depression, Chester saw no trace of any wild beast.
It was as if the wild beasts that were originally numerous suddenly disappeared from here overnight.
If you are an experienced adventurer, you will suddenly wake up when you realize this, and understand that there is an unknown and terrifying existence appearing here, leaking its breath, causing the originally ferocious beast to flee in panic, but Chester is a son of a nobleman, not what
Adventurer, this is his first time out of the city alone.
If it were a normal person, when he felt palpitations and inexplicable depression, he would naturally retreat and not want to go deeper. However, Chester had a death wish, so he moved forward more and more fearfully.
Rustling. The branches and leaves on the treetops were shaking incessantly under the blowing of the night wind.
The boy walked deeper into the dense forest until midnight.
Chester, who was hungry, tired and thirsty, felt that his vision was a little blurred and his consciousness was not so clear.
"Am I going to die of exhaustion in the dark jungle, unknown to others, miserable and alone?"
Chester felt sad inside.
In a daze, he stopped and stared blankly ahead.
In the dark forest, Chester saw a strange-shaped hill, which glowed with a sacred and inviolable silver light. The entire body seemed to be made of mithril, and was dotted with scattered rings of obsidian.
The dark forest environment is incongruous.
A silver hill like this appears in the dark forest, and the scene is extremely dreamy.
Chester, whose consciousness was already blurred, could not clearly see the specific appearance of the hill. Dragging his tired pace, he slowly approached, and then fell within the range of the silver light radiating from the hill.
"At least I didn't die in the dark"
With this thought, Chester closed his eyes peacefully.
at the same time.
The ‘Silver Hills’ started to move.
A majestic dragon raised its head and lowered its eyes to look down at the young man lying on the ground.
It is the Lord of the Dragon Court, the Lord of Heroic Spirits, the Dragon God of Time, the Dragon of Eternity and Time, and the great and glorious Garon Aurelion who comes from another time and space.
Garen's eyes flickered, scanning Chester's body.
At the same time, in Garen's platinum dragon eyes, images flashed past at extremely fast speeds in one second.
In an instant, Gallon looked up the past and gained insight into Chester's fifteen-year-old life.
"No wonder he walked in front of me. It turned out that he was actively seeking death."
Garen thought silently.
The moment Chester stepped into the range where Garen released the wisps of dragon power, Garen noticed him, and then looked curiously at what Chester wanted to do next, just like a human observing an ant.
Interestingly, as if guided by fate, he walked right in front of Garen.
Perched on the ground like a hill, the giant dragon stretched out a hooked toe and gently rubbed the dragon scales on its chin.
"This is the experience of a young genius who was accidentally turned into a waste, suffered the blow of breaking off his engagement, and then got lucky enough to meet someone who seemed like his destiny's child in many worlds."
"Interesting, it's you, as the shepherd of my Godhead Ranch."
Godhead Ranch needs a protector. When Garen is gone, Garen's faith in the current timeline will not be cut off, thus giving birth to a god of faith.
If you deal with gods, since you need to absorb faith, it will arouse the hostility of the other party, especially your identity from another time and space, which can be seen by most gods.
As for the patrons of Iolum or the Four Pillar Gods, they all need a very deep relationship foundation.
These are difficult to take the initiative to pursue. Garon wants to open up the Shenge Ranch in batches and does not have the time or energy to do so.
Therefore, Gallon thought about it and decided to train his own pastors and spokespersons to spread his faith and defend his faith.
Garen can use force to sweep away the world and establish theocratic belief in the fear of himself. However, according to the way the Godhead Ranch operates, Garen is destined to leave, so he cannot use too extreme methods. He needs to cultivate a force, and
It is convenient to harvest the godhead repeatedly in one time and space.
Pastors do not need any special qualifications, only loyalty is the most important.
After all, with the abilities and resources Garen currently possesses, it is enough to cultivate a legend or even a demigod. The opponent only needs to have the most basic talents.
As for the conditions for becoming a shepherd, it is largely that Garen finds it interesting or pleasing to the eye. In other words, it means having a predestined relationship with Garen.
The next day, early morning.
In the humid environment, a drop of dew slowly slipped from the leaves, glowing with crystal clear luster in the sunlight, falling downwards, and finally smashed into pieces on Chester's forehead with a snap.
Chester wakes up from a nightmare.
When he opened his eyes, there was a huge outline in his blurred vision, and it became clearer as Chester's consciousness became clearer.
In the blink of an eye, the outline solidified and appeared in Chester's field of vision.
This is a dragon head as big as a house, with dense silver dragon scales on it. Three pairs of majestic and winding dragon horns are like a majestic crown. A pair of platinum dragon pupils on the silver visor reflects Chester's horror.
figure.
"Am I still dreaming?"
"This dream is too real."
"No, it's not a dream."
Chester was horrified. He rolled on the ground, tried to stay away from the dragon, and stood up at the same time.
At this time, the entire mountain-like dragon came into Chester's field of vision.
The shining silver dragon scales, the majestic and majestic body, the magical ring of black scales, and the deep and calm eyes that seemed to penetrate his inner thoughts and see through his past and future.
Chester felt breathless and extremely excited at the same time.
He realized that the silver hill he thought he had seen last night was actually this terrifying giant beast coiled on the ground!
"I will die with no regrets if I can die under the claws of such a terrifying creature!"
"To die in battle is the honor of a nobleman, here I come!"
Chester grabbed his short brass staff and pointed it at the dragon.
At the same time, the three gems above glowed and connected with each other.
Fireball.
Double thaumaturgic effect.
Burning Technique.
The effects carried by the three thaumaturgic gems were combined to form two fireballs at the front of the brass staff, roaring and hitting the silver dragon's chest.
It was like soap bubbles falling on the iron stone. The two fireballs shattered and disappeared, and the dragon's scales were as bright as new.
At the same time, Chester had closed his eyes, breathing heavily, and his cheeks were stained with two clusters of blush due to excitement.
He opened his arms, ready to meet the dragon's wrath.
On the other side, the dragon remained unmoved, quietly enjoying Chester's interesting reaction without any intention of getting angry.
At the same time, Garen was thinking about the fireball spell that Chester had just cast.
Although it did not cause any harm to Gallon, with Gallon's analytical insight, it was discovered that its principle is very interesting.
It is different from the spell system that Garen is familiar with.
The fireball spell that Chester just cast was actually three spells constructed at the same time. They worked together perfectly to form a double fireball with a burning effect.
The dragon's gaze passed over the brass staff in Chester's hand. To be precise, it was the three strange gems inlaid on the brass staff.
"The wonderful magic chiming reaction just now has its roots in three gems."
"This time and space, this world, seems to have unexpected surprises."
Garen looked thoughtful.
He had just arrived in this time and space not long ago. Since he had opened the door to time and space quite frequently before, he rested here and had not yet figured out the intelligence information of this time and space.
"However, according to Chester's memory, there seems to be no concept of the outer plane or the main material plane in this world, and there are only legends and religions about the two gods, the good god and the evil god."
"The two gods fought and killed each other. According to legend, they have both perished and fallen. Only the temple is still standing, and the traces of the gods are hard to find."
Garen tried to lock onto planes such as Heaven Mountain or the Abyss, but failed.
There are only two gods here in the legend, and both of them have disappeared.
Obviously, this is also a different time and space that has developed completely different from the main timeline.
"Eternal Empire, Holy Sect of Good and Evil, Thaumaturge"
After all, Chester is just a noble from a remote city. Although he knows some things about this world, what he knows is not specific.
For example, there is currently only one empire in this world, called the Eternal Empire. Since the title of Garon contains the word eternal, I feel that this Eternal Empire is worth looking forward to and can be included in my pocket.
"The residents of the Eternal Empire stand at the pinnacle of strength and power, the flesh and blood of the conquered build the cornerstone of prosperity and prosperity, and the endless time always acts as a witness to fairness and justice."
This is a poet's description of the eternal empire in Chester's memory
In this world, the Eternal Empire is the only hegemon, but there are also many other national forces.
Chester's father is a remote earl in the Eternal Empire. His status is neither high nor low. As for the power of the Eternal Empire and the abilities of the most powerful thaumaturge, Chester does not have it.
Obvious concept.
at the same time.
The death he imagined did not come, and he opened his eyes in confusion and anxiety, staring into the dragon's platinum eyes.
The excitement had passed, and now all that was left in his heart was fear, his limbs were limp, and he fell to the ground uncontrollably.
Garen had restrained all his dragon power to prevent him from directly crushing Chester to death.
However, even without a hint of dragon power, the pressure caused by the huge beast's size was still enough to make Chester feel various discomforts, palpitations, suffocation, accelerated blood flow, and a blank brain. He barely managed to avoid fainting.
At the same time, under the watchful eye of Chester.
The silver dragon grinned and said, "Young man, do you long for power?"
The universal language of this world, through Chester's memory, has been mastered by Garen in one second.
Hearing the common language of the Eternal Empire spit out from the dragon's mouth, Chester's expression was startled, and the fear in his heart weakened a little.
His body was still in the state of falling, lying on his back, supporting the ground with one hand, and pressing his rapidly pumping heart with the other hand. At the same time, in the shadow formed by the dragon's silhouette blocking the sunlight, he raised his head and looked up at the sky-blocking sun.
Silver dragon.
In Chester's field of vision, the face of the giant dragon with its back to the light was a little blurry, but its deep and calm eyes showed a gaze that was completely different from that of ordinary ferocious beasts, and its whole body was filled with divine majesty.
When the dragon spoke, its teeth shone sharply, but Chester's fear actually weakened.
"You, are you a messenger of the gods?"
Chester swallowed his saliva and said in a harsh voice.
The dragon shook his head, his face as calm as ever, and said in a tone that stated the facts: "Messenger? No, the world respects me as the dragon of eternity and time, and regards me as a god."
Dragon, God of Eternity and Time.
Chester had only heard of the two gods, the God of Good and the God of Evil, but had never heard of the Dragons of Eternity and Time.
However, just under the shadow of the giant dragon, he was completely convinced by the dragon's words in his heart, without even a trace of doubt. His spirit and will were completely captured by Garon's majesty and aura.
"Now, put away your doubts and answer my questions first."
"I'll ask you again."
"Young man, do you long for power?"
Facing the solemn face of the silver dragon, Chester was slightly startled.
Immediately, he recalled the cynicism of his peers, the anger and helplessness he felt when his engagement was annulled, and the pride he felt when he was a genius and was guarded and expected by his tribe. In the memories of these scenes, the young Qie
Sturt has realized that strength is the only truth.
"eager."
He answered firmly and resoundingly.
Hearing this, Galen smiled softly and said: "Very good, from now on, you will be my shepherd, my shepherd."
"I will grant you supreme power."
shepherd?
Chester looked puzzled, not understanding the meaning of this word.
The dragon's eyes seemed to have the power to penetrate people's hearts, seeing through Chester's doubts, and then said slowly: "You are the shepherd chosen by God, and the world is the sheep behind you. You will make them lie down.
On the grass, lead them to rest by the water, revive their souls, and guide them on the path of pious faith.”
Chester understood.
This god who didn’t know where he came from wanted to choose himself as his messenger.
In the shadow of the dragon's body, Chester knelt on the ground, looked up at the dragon, and whispered: "I am willing to serve as your shepherd and respond to all your will."
"But, Lord, why did you choose me who is good for nothing?"
Garen smiled faintly, and the dragon's power dissipated a little. The real dragon's body in Chester's senses seemed to become infinitely majestic, like a giant mountain holding up the sky, like the sun, moon and stars.
"For your eyes have seen me, and I have compassion and grace for the lost lamb."
Gallon's goal is faith.
The shepherd he wants to choose naturally needs to be convinced in a suitable way, so that he can follow Gallon's figure with piety and loyalty from the bottom of his heart, spread the teachings to Gallon, and contribute everything he has.
Hearing Galleon's ethereal voice that seemed to originate from the nine heavens, Chester's body trembled as if he heard the divine voice.
Chester's head dropped down, close to the soil.
Sniffing the special smell of soil and grass, Chester shed tears in his eyes and whispered in a choked tone: "I am humble, walking in the dark jungle, with a death wish, but because I saw the Lord with my own eyes, because
The Lord’s mercy and grace were illuminated by the Lord’s glory, and he became the Lord’s messenger.”
"Lord, I will bring your glory to shine on the lost people who are still walking in the darkness, so that they can listen to your gospel and feel your glory."
The giant dragon nodded with satisfaction, and at the same time withdrew the power of the dragon that could influence people's minds.
As an indispensable ability for a true dragon from birth to death, Dragon Power has various effects.
It can shock and kill a wide range of life, it can also convey its own will, and it can also overwhelm the family members.
Garen didn't need Chester's terrifying talent or powerful strength. He only needed his piety and loyalty. After using some tricks, the current Chester was almost qualified.
"Chester, follow my shepherd and accept my gift."
As he spoke, the giant dragon stretched out a hooked toe, and the sharp claw tip touched Chester's forehead.
A little light blooms.
In an instant, countless knowledge poured into Chester's mind.
Various spells, knowledge of all things in the world, and the power of time. Chester's biological level has been rising all the way until he reached the legendary threshold.
Promoting a legendary apostle is not a difficult task for Garen today.
At the same time, Chester's dazed eyes gradually regained their clarity.
"Thank you, my Lord, for your strength."
"I will spread your glory, your gospel, and lead the lost lambs."
