José was taken aback for a while by Queen Uglise's speech. Thinking about it, what the queen said seemed to make sense.
The quality of Taidanol's strong players is really too high.
King Eternal Night, Mistress of the Red Nest, Merlin, and Mermaid Emperor are not the strongest of the demigods, but so many of them are concentrated in a medium-sized plane.
Turning his head and thinking about it, Jose remembered the four-element gemstones. Perhaps the problem of the high quality of Tedanol's powerhouses was not the crisis of the plane, but related to the four-element gemstones.
After thinking for a while, the red dragon asked, "Your Majesty, have you ever seen four-element gems?"
"Four element gems?"
Queen Uglise's eyes lit up: "Tedanol actually gave birth to four-element gems!"
Apparently, Queen Uglise knew about the four-element gemstones, and she seemed to be very interested in them.
There is a show!
If the githyanki are willing to stay in Tedanor for the four-element gems, then the Forsey Kingdom will have another powerful ally.
Jose nodded: "That's right..."
After listening to the explanation of the red dragon, Queen Ugras shook her head. She said that although she was curious about the four-element gems, she would not stay in Tidanor for this reason.
The energy used by the Githyanki is psionic energy. Although the four-element gemstones on the element side are precious, they are not enough to make them give up the great "business" of the astral world, and risk staying on a medium material plane where the strong gather to fight for an undead. Definite result.
Although José regretted Queen Euglas's refusal, he accepted it. After all, if the Githyanki stayed for a long time, he would not be able to explain it to the orc sword master.
Jose asked, "Your Majesty, how much do you know about four-element gemstones?"
Queen Uglise will not participate in the competition for the four-element gems, but is willing to share information with the red dragon.
She paused for a while, and organized her words: "You and I both know that the will of the plane instinctively mobilizes the four elements of earth, wind, fire, and water to form the cornerstone of the operation of the plane, and the four-element gemstone is the will of the plane combined with the rules of the elements. The magic treasure produced."
"Each gem contains corresponding rules, and comprehending and mastering a certain kind of rules is the first step to becoming a god."
"Rules are often untouchable. Under such a premise, treasures such as four-element gems that allow people to directly touch the rules are very precious."
"The four-element gems can not only be used to comprehend the rules and help demigods step into the threshold of gods, but they can also be used to create artifacts after becoming gods. This is why demigods compete for the four-element gems."
Queen Uglise paused for a moment, and then said: "The single four elements are very precious, and the collection of four gemstones is a peerless treasure that is enough to tempt the hearts of even high-level divine powers."
"It is said that a long time ago, a powerful mage who collected all four elemental gems appeared in the star world. He refined the entire plane into his own kingdom of God, and walked on a completely different path from believing in the gods—natural gods."
"You don't need believers to have great power. This kind of temptation can't be resisted even by God!"
She turned to the red dragon: "Jose, do you know how many gods there are in the Pantheon?"
"I don't know, please enlighten me," Jose said with an air of listening.
Queen Ugras continued: "Although the Pantheon is called all gods, there are actually only 6,855 gods, divided into great powers, strong powers, medium powers, weak powers, and weak powers. Pyramid structure."
"According to the statistics of a certain major force in the multiverse, among the 6,855 gods, there are more than 5,900 weak divine powers, but even the weakest weak divine power can easily crush ordinary demigods."
Jose nodded. He recalled the divine power he had experienced when he first came to Tedanol, which he will never forget: "The power of the gods is indeed powerful."
"However, there are many strong people in the multiverse. Although some strong people are not gods, they have powers that are not weaker than gods, and even exceed the power of ordinary gods. Such strong people are called god-level strong people in the star world. .”
A look of longing and reverence flashed in Queen Ugrace's eyes: "My Majesty the Githyanki Empress is such a powerhouse who is not a god, but surpasses ordinary gods."
Jose can also understand this point, there are many such powerful existences in the Dragon Clan.
On top of the ancient dragons, there are ancient giant dragons. The power of the ancient giant dragons is no different from that of weak divine powers, not to mention those strange and legendary dragon species.
The most powerful of the legendary dragon species - Time Dragon, even the great divine power dare not provoke it easily.
Jose raised his glass: "Her Majesty the Empress of the Githyanki is a close ally of my red dragon ancestors. For this eternal friendship, here is a toast."
"cheers."
After taking a sip of the mellow grape wine, Queen Eugrace continued: "Actually, it is not difficult for a strong person like Her Majesty the Queen to hold high the throne and become a member of the Pantheon, and it can even be called a piece of cake."
"But the queen is not willing to become a god, and there is a price to gain the power of a god, and she will be bound by faith."
"Don't think that the gods are superior, in fact, they also have their own troubles. Many gods have lost themselves in the endless prayers of believers. If they lose themselves, is it still 'I'!"
"That's the price you pay for taking shortcuts."
Jose nodded, the threshold for igniting the divine fire is a legend, in other words, the legendary strong can reach the sky in one step by igniting the divine fire.
However, there is a price to be paid for mastering such power that does not belong to oneself. The price paid by the gods is the need to develop believers. To develop believers, one must listen to the prayers of believers and occasionally respond to the wishes of believers.
He called the elf maid on the side to pour wine for the Queen of the Githyanki, and at the same time asked: "Your Majesty, I am very curious about how those beings who are not gods but have power comparable to gods can obtain such power." powerful."
"The god-level powerhouses can be divided into two parts, one part is like the dragon family, relying on the power of blood to step into the god-level, and the other part relies on their own efforts."
"Whether it is relying on one's own efforts or relying on blood, one cannot escape the accumulation of time. The vast majority of god-level powerhouses have accumulated tens of thousands of years before they have the current strength."
Queen Uglise looked at the red dragon with deep eyes: "Now, you can understand the temptation of a way to reach the sky in a short period of time without paying any price. This is the case with the four-element gemstone."
Jose was thoughtful, and after a while, he shook his head.
"What? Are you not interested?"
Queen Uglise smiled and said: "Honestly, if my strength is not based on psionic energy, I can't take the path of four-element gemstones, otherwise I will definitely stay on the Tidanore plane."
"It's not that I'm not tempted, but the road of the four element gems is really difficult."
Jose took a sip of delicious food: "Your Majesty, not to mention the fact that the earth and wind gemstones have not yet appeared, how fierce the competition will be after they appear."
"The [Heart of the Sea] that has appeared is in the hands of the Mermaid Emperor. She is a ruthless person who confronts the Mistress of the Red Nest head-on. The other one is more troublesome. [Heart of the Sea] was sacrificed to the God of Justice by the Justice Church , Just ask the entire multiverse, that existence has the guts to grab something from the top of the gods."
Hearing this, Queen Ugles couldn't help but nodded: "That's what you said."
You must know that the God of Justice—Nuo Dashan, is an ancient existence that has existed since the birth of the multiverse, and is also recognized as the number one powerhouse in the multiverse.
The title of "No. 1 Powerhouse" was not boasted by Nuo Dashan, nor was it chosen by anyone, but by countless years of naked achievements.
To hold [Heart of Scorching Flame] in Nuo Dashan's hands, unless Nuo Dashan voluntarily, it will be useless.
"Stop talking about that, cheers."
…………………
With the [Wanderer] suspended in the sky, the border of the Forsyth Kingdom was very quiet, and the invasion of foreign monsters almost disappeared, which was unprecedented after the return of the Red Nest Mistress.
In peace, the days passed day by day, and the imperial ceremony was getting closer and closer.
Oka City is getting busier day by day, half a month before the Imperial Ceremony, it is overcrowded, it is hard to find a hotel, and more people are staying at the homes of residents in Wangcheng.
Compared with the previous founding ceremonies, not only capable people from all over the country came this time, but also more people from other countries.
Witnessing the birth of a new empire is a huge temptation for most people, at least enough as a bragging capital for future generations.
For the sudden increase in the foreign population, the officials of the Fussey Kingdom headed by Red Dragon have long been prepared.
The satellite towns around Oka City have played a role in absorbing foreign population, greatly relieving the pressure on Oka City, and at the same time bringing economic benefits to the town.
The influx of foreign population continued. Unexpectedly, the cases of theft and robbery did not increase but decreased.
In addition to the official efforts of the Forsey Kingdom, because of the capital to come to Oka City, the proportion of professionals in the crowd witnessing the Imperial Ceremony is very high. Ordinary bandits dare not show their heads, and they are dealt with by passing professionals as soon as they show their heads. .
Criminal cases such as theft and robbery have declined, and correspondingly, the proportion of professional crimes has increased significantly.
In the group of unruly professionals, there is never a shortage of bold and reckless people, and there are always people who take risks.
Snapped!
Gnoll Sheriff—Cook slapped the paper in his hand on the desk again. There was a grimace drawn on the paper. It wasn't the scary grimace of a cult organization, but more like the grimace of a naughty boy playing tricks on people.
"Damn it! This is the third time! Right under our noses! This thief robbed three families! What's even more annoying is that every time he succeeds in committing a crime, he leaves grimaces behind! He's mocking us!"
Cook bared his teeth, showing interlaced wolf teeth, and said viciously: "My colleagues! This incident has caused a bad influence in Vic Town. I heard the neighbors discussing this incident. We must get rid of that as soon as possible. The thieves caught him and put him in the prison where he should go!"
On the side, the Jackal police officer had a bitter expression: "But, Sheriff, we don't even know what the thief looks like, so how can we catch him?"
"That's right," another Jackal police officer frowned, "That thief is definitely a professional, and his level is not low. He has been smeared with a scent-masking powder, and even our Jackals' noses can't detect his traces." , and no footprints."
Cook's eyes were extremely firm: "Everyone, I know what you said, but there are only seven days until the Imperial Ceremony, our town of Vic is a satellite city of Oka City, and now there are tourists from all over the mainland, and they are all looking at us. "
"If we don't catch that guy before the Imperial Ceremony, the embarrassment will be thrown abroad. This matter will become a stain on us for the rest of our lives, and we will never be able to hold our heads up."
Hearing this, all the police officers of the Vic Town Public Security Station became serious.
As a member of the Fossey Kingdom, witnessing the Imperial Ceremony is the common honor of all, and they will never allow this honor to be stained.
"All of us brought all the case records here, and we will figure out a way together, sort out the process, and see if we can find clues."
According to what the sheriff said, everyone moved stacks of paper documents to the table, gathered together, and looked at each page, looking for hidden clues.
Among them, Sergeant Cook led the elite police officers to a table alone. There were three sheets of paper on the table, each of which had a funny face drawn like a naughty boy.
"Everyone, these three grimace patterns are the only clues left by the thieves."
Sergeant Cook's face was serious: "I've done research. The thief wore gloves when he painted. There is no trace of fingerprints left on the paper. The smell has also been treated with medicinal powder, so it cannot be traced. It is absolutely perfect."
Beside the table, a kobold asked, "Sheriff, have you tried to investigate the source of the paper?"
Sergeant Cook looked at the kobold. The kobold's name was Xingge, who had just been transferred from the Triangle Plain to the Vic Town Sheriff's Office two days ago.
In the Kingdom of Fussey, the jackals have excellent sense of smell, keen sense of hearing, excellent physical fitness, the ability to run for a long time, as well as the hunting instinct of a predator and good combat effectiveness...
In short, the jackal is really suitable to be a police officer.
Therefore, among a group of gnolls, a kobold with a short stature and covered in scales stood out.
However, including Sergeant Cook, no one would underestimate this kobold named Xingge.
Not long ago, the kobolds made great contributions in besieging a branch of the cult organization, the Church of Salvation, and saved hundreds of lives in three villages. Then they were transferred directly from the guards of a remote small village to the satellite town of Oka City, Wei Kezhen, became a senior police officer who was only one step away from the sheriff.
"Paper is common in the market. It is produced in our own country. It is retailed in small street shops and sells a lot every day. Investigating the source of paper is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack."
Kobold - Xingge picked up a piece of paper with a gloved hand and stared at the grimace pattern on the paper: "Each race has its own unique character, the wolf man is wild, the ogre is reckless, the tauren is simple and honest, Goblins are scribbled, these racial characters are engraved in our blood and cannot be changed, and this character will also be reflected in the handwriting inadvertently."
The kobold squeezed his chin: "In these three grimace patterns, I saw mischievousness and arrogance. They are different from any monster race. They should be committed by foreigners."
"However, what puzzles me is that there is no evil in the brush, it is the handwriting of a man with a light heart."
