The opponent is using him as a knife.
Sauron guessed this from the very beginning, but there is no free lunch in this world, and there are not many choices that can be given to him. To put it even more harshly, being used proves that you have the value to be used. If you don't even have the value to be used, the other party may not even give you such a chance. Although the Sea Goddess has a very competitive relationship with the Storm Lord, she will never attack the Storm Lord's believers head-on, so the Sea God Temple will not directly attack the target she wants to kill.
This has the potential to spell disaster!
No one would want to expand the incident to a war between two temples, or further escalate to a war between two churches of the gods.
The Naga priest follows the teachings of the sea goddess and punishes the believers who betray their faith. This is a very important test. If she does nothing, the sea goddess may anger her or even punish her and deprive her of her power. But if she goes too far and starts a war between the Temple of the Sea and the Temple of Storms, then the Goddess of the Sea may also be angry and even punish her for depriving her of her power. This is where the high-level evil god priests are in trouble. Sometimes they even have to pray for the will of the gods, because if they make a wrong decision, the consequences will be more serious.
The rear of the Ocean Temple.
Sauron entered a piece of blue water naked. It was a clear pool. The sea water gushed out from nowhere. The holy water provided by the Ocean Temple was the taste of sea water. The pool in front of him might be the place where the holy water was transformed. The icy sea water flooded his chest, and Sauron felt a warmth after the initial cold. It felt like being soaked in amniotic fluid, like an embryo returning to the mother's body.
It seems that the speculation from the outside world is not wrong!
The Goddess of the Sea is really involved in the divinity of life, and even extends the doctrine that life is originally born from the ocean. However, life at least requires a neutral camp. Sauron has never heard of life gods in a chaotic camp. It seems that if the sea goddess wants to further expand the realm of life, she must forcibly restrain her behavior and at least shift the camp to neutral An evil position, so that she may become the god of life believed by evil creatures.
The Storm Lord and Sea Goddess are fun.
The relationship between these two gods is ambiguous and fiercely competitive. They used to be very close, and later they fought fiercely. Even after the sea goddess got involved in the life domain, the storm lord was unwilling to be lonely and followed in the life domain. Because the Lord of Storms has mastered the priesthood of thunder and lightning, he actually accepted one of the research materials of the Arcane Empire and developed it into the teaching that the most primitive life is born in a lightning storm, and he wants to extend it A trace of life domain.
But it looks like he failed!
In fact, it's normal to think about it. The gods of the life department in the past are all goddesses. They are not beautiful but also full of maternal breath. Who would be willing to accept a male elder with a rough face and strong muscles, acting crazy and violent to become a god of the life department
But it seems that the Lord of Storms did not give up because of this.
Because he seems to have given up part of his priesthood in the past few hundred years and raised one of his daughters as the second deity in the field of storms, that is, the "Daughter of the Storm" who has many believers among the Amazon female warriors. As the 'Goddess of Storms', her priesthood includes women, life and children, but it is limited to tropical rainforest areas. Perhaps this is also the reason for the further deterioration of the relationship between the Storm Lord and the Ocean Goddess, because the Ocean Goddess has already mastered the life domain in the ocean.
Struggles don't just happen for nothing.
Even a chaotic and evil existence would not be so boring as to find a dangerous enemy to fight with. There must be a deeper meaning and conflict of interest.
Both the Storm Lord and the Sea Goddess want to go one step further!
They are already powerful gods, and the possibility of going further is very low, unless they suddenly master some extremely powerful priesthood fields. So after a long period of silence, these two gods have followed the same path, which is to create their own gods. The Lord of Storms plans to create a storm god, and the goddess of the sea is going to expand the ocean gods. In this way, they are all at the level of the main gods in the powerful divine power, and they are already qualified to try to get their hands on the "great divine power" at the master level!
As a result, the pair of gods who had an ambiguous relationship almost became enemies abruptly.
…
Bits of azure light emerged, followed by the deep chant of the Naga Sea-Monster. It was very difficult to perform high-level magic spells, especially recovery-type magic spells, which required a certain price. To expel the negative energy erosion in Sauron's body and repair his weak soul at the same time, it is necessary to cast a high-level restoration spell. Even if the king asks to cast this spell, it is not so easy. In order to completely repair Sauron's injuries, the Naga priests must mobilize the divine power accumulated in the temple for a long time.
Otherwise, she would have to replace Sauron's vitality with her own!
This is the reason why legendary priests can live up to two or three hundred years. The power of priests comes from divine power, and in the end they have to return to the kingdom of gods.
The warm sea water washes the whole body.
The skin on Sauron's body actually began to shed its skin, as if it had been purified from head to toe, and traces of black matter leaked out of his pores. This is just the beginning. Under the gentle sea power, all the hidden and potential hidden wounds on Sauron's body were repaired, and the scars on his back and chest gradually disappeared. Injury, any hidden body position, all have been completely repaired!
Sauron's body is being purified, approaching its peak 100% state.
This effect is even more exaggerated than the bloodline purification ritual, which only strengthens vitality and stimulates potential abilities, while the high-level restoration technique restores you to your current peak state. Sauron's naked body stood up in the sea water, his skin became white and tough, all the injuries were completely repaired, the internal organs recovered after being injured were like a new life, and all hidden hidden injuries completely disappeared. At the same time, there seemed to be a trace of satisfaction deep in his heart, a feeling of being fully rested suddenly after being tired for a long time.
A row of data emerges:
"I am affected by [Advanced Restoration Technique] effect!..."
"All my injuries have been repaired!... The effect of energy absorption is removed!... The effect of soul weakness is removed!... The recovery and regeneration of the body is completed!..."
"The effect of weakening the soul is removed."
"You have restored the legendary skill [Universal Skilled Hand]."
…
"Universal skillful hand [Legendary skill]: The legendary thief has extremely dexterous hands, and when making any career-related judgments, he will get an additional +5 judgment bonus, and at the same time, when using any weapon to fight, he will automatically master the weapon expertise above the proficiency level .Theoretically, the Almighty Hand can use any props! Whether it is the artifact of the gods, or some clearly restricted weapons and equipment, the Almighty Hand can easily use them."
…
A look of tiredness appeared on Priest Naga's face.
She stared at Sauron standing up from the pool with icy eyes, with a ruthless and cold expression, and said slowly: "Human! Remember what you promised. Otherwise, the goddess of the sea will also give you everything I gave you today. Take it all back."
Sauron stopped in his tracks. He looked at his naked body, which looked like a newborn. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he bent slightly to express his respect: "I will keep in mind the contract I promised to the Goddess of the Sea, and those who betray her faith will will be punished."
"Punishment without mercy!"
If those who betray their beliefs are not punished, the foundation of the sea goddess' believers will be affected, which is a very, very serious matter. So even if the Ocean God Temple can't directly attack the Lord of Storms, as priests of the goddess, they must find a way to find other people to kill these people who betrayed their faith. Sauron was the killer they needed. Even if anyone could guess that it was the Ocean Temple, as long as the people in the Ocean Temple didn't take action directly, the priests of the Lord of Storms couldn't turn against them.
A trace of killing intent appeared in Sauron's eyes.
Although he knew that he might make the disciples of the Lord of Storms angry, but he couldn't care less.
There is no way to survive in the overseas islands if you are timid!
Sauron put on the faded clothes one by one, and the Naga Siren watched him coldly. After Sauron had dressed everything, she slowly said: "Come with me! I will Tell you all the information about those betrayers, and then prepare some useful things for you. There are also pirates secretly supported by the temple in Tyro Port, and they will help you when you need it!"
"But you have to remember one thing!..."
"The thing that the Goddess of the Sea hates most is the betrayer!... You must kill them all!... Remember!... You must leave no one behind!... Otherwise, the Goddess of the Sea may be dissatisfied with it!..."
The Naga Siren repeated 'no one will stay' several times in a row, and it seemed that she had already figured out the character of the sea goddess very clearly.
This is the style of evil gods.
Sauron was not surprised by this. He nodded silently and said, "I know. No one will be left behind! Regardless of men, women, or children, there is no kindness or mercy. Those who break faith must pay the price with their lives."
The Naga Siren finally showed a smile.
She stared at Sauron with satisfaction, as if appreciating his ruthlessness at the moment, and her voice softened a bit, and she said, "The enemies are a little tricky, but they are not impossible. There are a lot of them, so you may need a little strategy. "
"look."
"That's their roster, and there's a good chance some of them will be sailing in the near future."
"Maybe you can sneak in and kill them all."
