Mark Bell is a very smart dragon. Although he is a bit lazy, he is very wise and has keen intuition.
So even though he didn't know how Sui Xiong would help him save time growing up, he still rejected the suggestion.
However, he did not refuse to work in Void City and play the role of an underground dragon in the adventure park "Dungeons and Dragons".
On the one hand, this matter is neither hard nor dangerous, and it is not worth taking the risk of offending a powerful god; on the other hand, he is also curious about what the supposedly majestic and gorgeous amusement park looks like.
So the bronze dragon known as the "Dragon of Autumn Twilight" set out, taking his modest wealth with him, and followed Sui Xiong across thousands of mountains and rivers to Void City.
"It's really spectacular!" As soon as he arrived at Void City, Mark Bell was attracted by the scenery here.
Void City is currently a park-like city with a large playground in the center as its core, surrounded by various leisure and entertainment facilities, all dotted among flowers, trees or pools.
Sui Xiong fully displayed his artistic talents in this city that was almost built by himself. Although he dare not say that every brick and tile here was built according to his ideas, the slightly larger layout was all his fault. handwriting.
In this city, there are various classic architectural styles mixed together, whether it is Chinese-style palaces and gardens, Japanese-style pavilions and courtyards, or Greek-style temples and stone pillars, even those with relatively greater influence Small architectural schools can also be seen here.
If an architectural designer on earth came here, he might shake his head and mutter, "This is too obvious plagiarism," or he might smile and sigh, "The designer of this city is someone who knows how to play," or he might He laughed out loud and mocked "Why can't I see anything about myself?"
But none of these "ifs" exist. In this world, the only time traveler is Sui Xiong. So when facing these beautiful buildings with different styles, everyone can only marvel at them.
Mark Bell is no exception.
Especially when he learned that these buildings were designed by His Majesty the Mask of the Void, he was stunned for a long time, and finally said: "As expected, His Majesty the Mask of the Void!"
Sui Xiong has heard comments like this many times.
Most people would react like this when they first hear that the designer of Void City is Masked Void himself.
This is also a matter of course.
Masked Void is very strong, everyone knows it. But being strong does not mean being literate, being literate does not mean having taste, having taste does not mean having design talent, and having design talent does not mean being able to master a variety of design styles.
In the world, there are almost no architects who can do this kind of thing. Even among the high elves who love art and are almost immortal, there are no such outstanding figures.
And among the gods, no one can do such a thing.
The God of Crafts once visited Void City - it was still called Void Mask Playground at that time. This god who was respected by the world for his talents in design and construction carefully observed the city without saying anything. Left in silence.
Later, according to Weier's inquiry, the God of Craftsmanship has been worried over the years, staying in the dark and reclusive, and seems to be wary of something.
Because he could clearly feel that the world's recognition of "architectural craftsmanship" had tilted towards him, Sui Xiong was once worried that the god of crafts would come to trouble him, but the god did not do that after all.
Perhaps it is because the core of this god's vocation is, after all, the manufacture and invention of handicrafts. Although construction technology is also an important part of his vocation, it is not the core thing after all.
For this non-core priesthood, conflicting with the powerful and talented Mask of the Void is not in line with his camp's position, and secondly, it is not in line with his own philosophy.
There is no follow-up development on this matter yet, but at least Weiye is very optimistic about Sui Xiong's relationship with the God of Crafts in the future.
"Why are you optimistic about this?" Sui Xiong asked curiously.
"Your talent is so outstanding that you are destined to create a huge pantheon of gods. At that time, due to the relationship between priesthood and belief identity, the God of Crafts will probably be driven by the belief identity of the world like me, and will have to join you. God system." Weiye said.
"Huh? The recognition of faith in the world actually has such power?" Sui Xiong was surprised.
"Yes, for natural gods, or gods with natural tendencies, the influence of faith is not obvious yet. But for gods of pure faith like me or the God of Craftsmanship, the influence of faith is very significant." Weiye laughed. He said, "Why have I never been able to fully integrate into the human pantheon? The reason is that I exclusively monopolize the 'Celebration' priesthood. As for the 'Enjoyment' priesthood, there is no fixed racial tendency. The same is true for the God of Craftsmanship."
"However, if people generally believe that you are the great master of 'pleasure' and 'craft' in the world, and that you are the well-deserved number one master in this field, then their recognition will turn into a powerful driving force. Pushing us to have to move closer to you and become your subordinates.”
"This is just like if the patron saint of the northwest region appears in the future, then he will become your subordinate without any doubt, without any possibility of independence or switching to others."
Sui Xiong thought for a long time before he understood this kind of thing.
This also gave him a deeper understanding of the issue of "faith" and a considerable degree of caution.
He was certain that the God of Craftsmanship didn't like him. Maybe he hated his appearance, maybe he hated his own style, or maybe he simply didn't want to be someone else's subordinate.
But according to Weyer, as long as people in the world recognize it, it doesn't matter what the God of Crafts thinks.
This can be applied to a famous saying on earth: what you understand must be implemented, and what you don’t understand must be slowly understood in the process of implementation!
But in Sui Xiong's heart, he was a little more wary.
Although he is a happy-go-lucky person, he has a bit of arrogance in his heart. He felt a little uneasy when he thought that in the future he might be forced by his clergy and faith to find a boss.
It's not that he is the "give me freedom or give me death" type, but he doesn't want to be forced by external forces, that's all.
After Leonard came, he had long conversations with the famous evil god more than once. Under Leonard's persuasion, he gradually came up with some ideas of his own.
It is indeed a good idea to obtain a priesthood and occupy it without using it to become a god.
Sui Xiong doesn't care about the benefits of faith. He is already a first-class master in the world. Unless he faces those powerful divine powers, he is not afraid of any enemy. Even if he has to fight against powerful gods, he can still go for a few rounds. It is certain that he will not be able to defeat them, but it is not certain that he will not be able to escape.
With such strength, he has the confidence and does not need to be bound by faith.
However, Sui Xiong has not really made up his mind to become an evil god.
The biggest shortcoming of the evil god is not that he is easy to die or anything else, but that he has a careless grasp of faith. None of the evil gods in this world can take good care of their believers, because when they rejected the priesthood, they greatly destroyed their own belief system.
Therefore, in this world, there are generally not many followers of evil gods. In other words, there are not many believers they can take care of.
Don't look at it now, Sui Xiong manages the belief system very well. But as long as he chooses to become an evil god, the system will immediately suffer major damage, whether it is the training of priests and the granting of divine magic, or the prayers and responses of believers, there will be big problems.
According to Leonard, Sui Xiong understood that "from an indoor wireless network relying on 100-megabit optical fiber to a satellite Internet system in remote areas," both stability and efficiency will be greatly affected.
This was the key that prevented him from making up his mind.
Leonard naturally wanted him to become an evil god and persuaded him several times. Among his friends, people such as Mannis and Weyer hoped that he would become a true god, and they also tried to persuade him many times. But Joel Gardman, Morani and others don't care. In their opinion, whether he is a good or evil god, Oscar is the Oscar, there is no difference.
Sui Xiong thought the same way. No matter whether he accepted the priesthood or rejected the priesthood, he was still himself after all.
This is the most important prerequisite.
As for the rest... don't worry, think about it again...
After settling Mark Bell, he returned to the Kingdom of God. While continuing to study and perfect the summoning rituals and spells of the divine envoys, he also thought about issues about priesthood and deification.
He has been thinking about this issue for a long time, but he has not been able to come to a final conclusion yet.
To be honest, he was a bit indecisive on less urgent issues.
And just as he was thinking about these issues, another big thing happened.
Akane Pasteur, who had previously decided to believe in him and become his chosen one, thus gaining the strength to enter the legendary realm, finally completed his long retreat and came out as a legendary strongman.
All this time, he has been living in an underground research laboratory without eating, drinking or resting. He relies on Sui Xiong's magical power to adjust himself and design his own path according to the "medical" direction he has identified. Sui Xiong also helped a lot and gave him a lot of pointers.
Now, he has finally completed the entire training process and has firmly entered the legendary realm.
The first thing he did after leaving seclusion was to report to Sui Xiong that he was going to become a god.
