Heart of Empire

Chapter 57: Confession

Views:

The work of settling more than two hundred elves will be handed over to Fal'o. This old man can basically be regarded as the big steward of Auriel now. The construction of the elf territory, except for those buildings built from the "Dynasty Heart" system, the other work is basically Fal'o I did it with the elves from the Divine Guidance Tree Tower. Including the expansion of the forest, the construction of the tree houses where the elves live, and the construction of the orchard can be described as hard work.

He can be regarded as the person who is most familiar with Aurui Nai at the moment except Dane. The forest is not big enough, and the tree houses are not built enough, no one can predict that today there will be more than 200 elves who will settle in Aurinadu on the island. But these problems will always be resolved. Dane trusts Fal'o very much, and he will be responsible for the resettlement of the elves, and nothing will go wrong.

And Dane himself dragged Asrol into the temple.

With no one around, all the intimacy that Dane had shown earlier disappeared. He stared directly at Esther, without saying a word, his expression looked a little gloomy, and he was definitely not happy anyway.

Asilore, who was stared at by Dane, had a very natural expression. She said softly: "My lord envoy, why are you looking at me like this?"

Dane snorted coldly, and said: "Unexpectedly, the great Hilo... Humph, I spent resources to build the temple, and took out the believers of the old gods that my subordinates fought desperately to kill and wiped out. Sacrificing the head to the gods, I thought that there would be a satisfactory gift from the gods, but I didn't expect to get such a big trouble in return! What about the envoy... Is this how Hilo deceived his envoy?"

Dane said this very bluntly. If it was in the Holy See with strict canon rules, he would have been tied up and sent to the court long ago. Even if it is a much milder Xiluo religion, if it bluntly says that the gods are liars in the temple, it will definitely not get any benefits.

Logically speaking, in the temple, as the priest of Hilo, Aspiral should have been furious after hearing Dane's words that could be called 'insulting the gods'. But she didn't, and even had a calm smile on her face: "How do you say that?"

Dane felt that she was asking the question knowingly, but the anger in her heart was really hard to dispel. He said angrily: "It seems that Hilo's gift has brought me more than two hundred elf populations, and the Jinxiangye also contains the supplies I need urgently, but in reality? In my territory, There are only 50 elves who absolutely obey my orders. Our great Shiloh brought me 200 refugees from Nancy's royal court at once? Especially among them is Patience. A ranger general is the leader, what do you want me to do?"

"The best result is nothing more than the integration of the two sides. Comilla has two hundred more residents. At the same time, I have gained a personal guard led by a 12th-level Ranger General. Is this possible? Damn, think with your ass We all know it's impossible!"

"How is it impossible?" Asrael still looked the same, and didn't change at all because of Dane's words: "You are the envoy of the great Hilo, you didn't see it, you came down from the pier of Ghost Knife Port, Have those elves bowed down twice in a row all the way to Aurinadu?"

"Bah!" Dane dismissively said, "What's the use of envoys? It's just a temporary respect, maybe they will always respect me, but if I give an order, will they be willing to go through fire and water? I don't think it's possible, but I The mercenaries and the elves from the divine guide tree tower can do it. I would rather increase my strength slowly, at least that way I can be completely under my control, but I don’t want this kind of possibility of getting out of control, or even A 'gift' that will cause me trouble!"

Dane was not a fool or blind. Before, although Cecilia had always maintained a very respectful attitude towards him, Patience was not like that. He could see from Patience's eyes that the ranger general was very wary of himself, the envoy who appeared suddenly.

With Patience's personal strength and her prestige among these elf refugees, if there is any conflict between her and Dane in the future, even if Cecilia is on his side, he may not be able to Really beat Patience. Even if he wins, he still doesn't know how much he will have to pay.

This is a hidden danger, even a ticking time bomb. The blessing that Dane had expected had turned into such a situation, he was naturally quite unhappy.

The indifference on Eslor's face disappeared, but turned into a serious face: "Your Excellency Dane, it was you who summoned us elves from our original world. Is this because What, I believe you know much better than us."

Dane felt a sudden shock, of course he knew better than anyone else! The Empire Tower is still in his heart and soul. Could it be that Eslor knows about the "Dynasty Heart" system

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Asrael knelt down to Dane on one knee: "It's true that I am the priest of Hilo, but you are our real leader!"

Dane said: "Can I believe that you are absolutely loyal to me?"

"You should believe it."

"More loyal than Hilo?"

"More loyal than Hilo."

In the previous sentence, Dane's tone was slightly sarcastic, as if deliberately embarrassing Esther. But the last sentence, Eslore said it was as good as gold!

Dane's first impression was horror! He looked around, this is Hilo's temple! The statue of Elven Father God is less than five steps away from the two of them! As a high-ranking priest in charge of a temple, in such a sacred place, Eslor dared to say such a thing, isn't she afraid of the wrath of the gods and the punishment of the gods

Seeing Dane's unbelievable expression, Esther kept kneeling on one knee and said, "You should believe me, this is a temple that worships Hilo, but Hilo can't hear God. Any sound in the temple, unless I want him to hear it."

"Of course, I certainly don't have the ability to isolate the gods, but in this temple, I can easily do it. This temple was built by you, not Hilo. We and Father God, Not an affiliation but a... partnership."

"My magical ability comes from the temple, and the power of the temple comes from you. We provide faith and sacrifices to the Father God, and the Father God only shares his divine power attributes with us, but he has not paid More than half of the divine power, the source of all power, comes from you after all!"
