Dane never thought that he would be shocked to hear such words from Esther.

"Wait...why can't I understand what you mean?"

Of course, it wasn't that he couldn't understand, but he was really afraid that he had misunderstood. This is not a joke, there are real gods in the world of Orodik.

What are gods? The gods are omniscient and omnipotent!

In the world, believers of the gods in the mortal world, even if they just think of the name of the gods in their minds, the gods will respond in their hearts. Of course, in most cases, the gods are too lazy to deal with ordinary people. Even if you are disrespectful, as long as you don't say the name of the gods while being disrespectful, it's fine in most cases. Even if you talk about it, the gods probably don't care about it—otherwise they will be bored to death. Ordinary people may be inferior to ants in the eyes of the gods, and it is not worth their troubles at all. But if there are some tyrannical gods, or when the gods are not in a good mood, and the gods want to punish the mortals, that is very easy.

This is the case for ordinary believers, let alone raise the level of high-level priests.

Priests of this level, if they are devout, can even have a real dialogue with the gods! If Esther is so disrespectful, she must be punished by the heavens. Even if she does not die, she will at least lose the power to release divine spells.

Dane doesn't believe in gods, but he has indeed seen miracles from gods. Therefore, he has no doubts about the existence of gods—otherwise, where did the priests get their power? Why do those divine spellcasters with powerful power respect the gods so much

But today, looking at Eslor kneeling in front of him on one knee, although Dane felt shocked, he actually believed it in his heart. She was able to say such a sentence in Hilo's temple, and after she finished speaking, it seemed that there were really no adverse consequences. Isn't this a proof, isn't what she said true

Although Dane has believed that the woman in front of him may be as loyal to him as he said, he still has a question in his heart: "Then why...send those elves to me? Don't you think that, After they arrive, is it possible that they will bring hidden dangers to us, Auriana?"

"Are you worried that Patience and the others will occupy the magpie's nest?" Esther said inexplicably.

Dane didn't speak, which was tantamount to acquiescing.

Acelor's tone seemed to carry a trace of contempt: "Are you so unconfident in yourself?"

"Hehe, are you too naive?" Dane laughed angrily, "You're not a child anymore, consider the reality! Patience is a twelfth-level ranger general, and he has sixty ranger guards who are loyal to her." ! Do you know how much we will have to pay to eliminate the threat if something goes wrong in the territory?"

Asilore seemed a little hesitant, she frowned and said: "At that time, after completing the sacrificial ceremony, Hilo's will, after strengthening my magical power, gave me two choices .One is to directly drop a resource reward, the amount is neither too much nor too little; the second is to guide the elves on the Jinxiangye to the territory and give you the status of an envoy. I thought about it at the time and felt that Jinxiangye The ship itself carries a lot of resources, and more than 200 elves are of great benefit to the population growth of Aurinadu. After all, you will also get the status of an envoy in the divine enlightenment, and it shouldn't be particularly difficult to subdue these elves, so I chose the second option."

Now Dane understood everything. He doesn't doubt Eslore's loyalty to him now, but... this woman's appetite is too great. Although it is for the sake of the territory, she has never considered whether her stomach can eat such a big cake .

Sighing, Dane said: "This is obviously a bait released by Hilo. He wants to add sand to our territory with a seemingly richer reward!"

From the bottom of her heart, Esther did not feel that she had done something wrong. She said, "Where can the benefits come from if there is no risk? That's right, these elves from Nancy's royal court will indeed bring some hidden dangers to our territory. However, a A ship with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons, a large number of resources, a population of more than 200 elves, and two masters, Cecilia and Patience. Dane, if you can really subdue them all, then Wouldn't we be able to take a big step forward right now?"

"Why can't I explain to you..." Dane said, "If you take too many steps, you will easily get caught, and if you have too much appetite, you will be easily overwhelmed. All in all, in the future, when we do sacrifice ceremonies, we will encounter such selective rewards." , I hope you can discuss it with me and don't make arbitrary claims, okay?"

Esther lowered her head, stood up from the ground, and said, "Well, although I still don't think there is anything wrong with the decision I made, I will definitely report to you in advance when encountering such things in the future. of."

"Well, that's fine." Dane said, "After a while, Cecilia and several of her priests will be stationed in the temple, and the temple is still dominated by you. Cecilia is just Here to help you. Although her loyalty is much stronger than that of Patience, I still feel a little uneasy. In addition, you and Faro should also contact you. These elves from Nancy’s royal court, for the time being, we I still can't fully trust you. Especially Patience and her Ranger Guards, you and Fal'o must help me watch the prison. I don't want to really see any turmoil in Aurinadu. Even if it is If there is turmoil, it must be under our control, do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand."

"Okay, let's work hard, we still have a lot of work to do now. I'm going to build the long-awaited Moon Well, otherwise, the population will increase so much, relying on the newly opened orchards to provide food Not enough. In addition, you should also prepare, we will start the work of purifying the black crystal as soon as possible."

"Okay, but I need some people. Even if there is a moonwell as a support, there will be at least a hundred people helping to purify so many black crystals in the shortest possible time."

Dane waved his hand, and said: "No problem, manpower problem, if a woman can help, you can go to Ghost Knife Port to find Tommy, he can send you manpower; if you need elves, go to the law Erao, if you can't do it, just draw from those elves from Nancy's royal court; if you need my mercenary fighters, the ranger Delin from Ghost Knife Port can also help you. Anyway, our most important job now is to hurry up These black crystals are turned into things that can be sold for money! I have had enough of this poor life!"

Eslore bowed to Dane and said gracefully, "As you wish."
