Before becoming a god, Mythra, the goddess of magic, was once a person of amazing talent and beauty.
Otherwise, he would not have invented many powerful magics and become a god in his human body.
This was an unprecedented move. She was the first powerful person to become a god in a mortal form.
It is precisely because it has never been done before that there is no experience to draw from.
Before she truly became a god, Mythra also did a lot of testing in terms of safety and freedom restrictions. She found that becoming a god would not involve safety risks, so she happily became a god.
It's just that she never expected that... becoming a god would indeed not pose any life-threatening danger, but it would completely erase the creativity that she was proud of.
The aura and creativity she had accumulated during her time as a mortal were all blocked by the power of rules.
It was obviously quite easy for her to create a new spell, but her thoughts were separated by a layer of fog, making her invisible and intangible.
That’s all.
If you can't create new spells yourself, then you can just ask the believers to offer them.
All true believers know everything they know and the gods they believe in also know it.
As a result... most of the mages were affected by her deeds, and they were all very proud. They believed that my fate was determined by God, and they hoped that they could become the next Mythra.
Don't blame her.
And those who were willing to believe in her... didn't even see the new magic that was sent to them.
For example, the so-called new small fireball technique is introduced, which slightly improves the power... just a little bit.
But the magic consumption increased exponentially.
Totally negative transformation.
There are many improved magics like this. As the goddess of magic, how could she possibly see such things
Therefore, the magicians who believed in her happily sacrificed their improved magic. As a result, there was no response from the goddess of magic. Over time, even fewer people were willing to believe in her.
In the end... only a group of so-called 'priests' still maintain the operation of a small number of temples, letting people know that there is a goddess in this world who is responsible for 'magic'.
In fact, although the goddess of magic is extremely powerful in combat, her reputation is completely incomparable to that of the two goddesses of life and light.
Even the water god's presence is much higher than hers.
In this way, the goddess of magic existed in this world for hundreds of years like a transparent person.
Then suddenly one day, a magician from another world presented an interesting magic.
Blue fireball!
She fell in love with it at first sight. If she hadn't become a god before, it wouldn't be difficult to create a spell like this. Many of the ideas in it were similar to her previous ideas.
She gave this son of another world a bit of divine favor.
But after a while, someone came up with new spells, such as water-making and oil-making techniques, which were quite interesting.
Moreover, the concepts of these two spells were very similar to the first blue fire ball, and then she understood that the second sacrificer was the real inventor of these spells.
The first one was just a thief.
So she took back the first person's divine favor and gave it to this son of another world.
At the same time, I also hope that the other party can believe in me.
It's just a pity...the other party is unwilling.
But even so, Mythra was not angry.
All capable magicians are arrogant, and I was not like that back then!
But now, Roland has sacrificed a new magic array diagram. She knew at a glance that it was only half a model. As the goddess of magic, her thirst for new magic and new knowledge is the strongest among all the gods.
He couldn't sit still at that moment, and directly used his mental power to pull Roland to his own kingdom of God.
Then she saw Roland's soul, a strange soul that was completely unaffected by the rules of the gods.
Just after reaching the master level, he can already look at himself without being hurt.
This man wants to trade with himself.
The goddess of magic found this man more and more interesting, and the more she wanted him to become her disciple.
Roland didn't know what the goddess of magic was thinking. He just wanted to negotiate a deal.
"What deal?"
The voice of the goddess of magic is very beautiful. In fact, the voices of beautiful women are generally not bad.
Even though her voice is ordinary, with the blessing of her beauty, you still think her voice is beautiful.
"I dedicate the complete version of the multi-person teleportation array mode to you, the goddess." Roland said slowly: "But I don't want to ask for your reward directly."
"Then what do you want?" Although Mythra wanted to know the pattern of the other half of the magic circle, she temporarily held back her excitement and asked calmly: "Do you think the reward I gave you is not good? ? How about you first listen to what the rewards I will give you?"
Roland made a gesture of invitation.
He is not in a hurry, and he doesn't mind changing the reward if the other party's idea is indeed better than his own.
"Can I give you a divine clone?"
Um
Speaking of divine clones, Roland thought of the soul seducer of Hades, and immediately lost interest.
Why would he want something like a tool? Moreover, according to some miscellaneous books he read, the divine clone of a god can transmit the nearby environment and pictures back to the god's mind.
In other words, having a divine clone is like having an extra monitor next to you.
Looking at Roland's frown, the goddess of magic waved her hand gently.
Blue magical light gathered around her.
When Roland saw these lights, he immediately became interested.
Because it is not ordinary magic, but a higher level and purer energy.
Divine power
Roland knew it in his heart, and at the same time he was secretly thinking that it would be great if he could steal some divine power and go back to study it.
It's a pity that I can't steal it.
The current self cannot control this kind of power.
In his regret, these blue divine powers gathered into a human shape, and then the head, face, hands and feet all appeared.
She has long lavender hair, a small body, and a similar white dress.
She is a girlish goddess of magic.
But this girl had her eyes closed, and although she looked lifelike, there was no sign of life.
There is no soul either.
It's just a mold.
Although it does seem to be much stronger than the Soul Seducer of Hades, at least it is much more beautiful in appearance, but the question is why Roland wants a woman.
Even though this ** is indeed beautiful, lifelike, and seems to have warmth, Roland really doesn't need it.
I have a queen and Vivian, and my body can't bear any more.
He was about to refuse, when Mythra continued: "This is just a semi-finished product. If you agree, I will put a piece of my soul into her body, and she will have life."
oh
Roland's eyes widened slightly.
So interesting!
This can be regarded as creating a new life.
"And she will have a lot of knowledge I have given her, and she will have extremely high intelligence as soon as she opens her eyes. She does not need your teaching and training." Mythra smiled and said: "He will be your most loyal assistant and friend, and everything I will listen to you, everything!”
Having said this, Mythra's eyes flashed and she smiled knowingly.
The goddess is worthy of being a goddess. Even with such an old-fashioned smile, she looks very good-looking when she smiles, even a little bit divine.
Seeing such a smile, Roland understood even more.
Sure enough...the so-called gods are still humans in essence.
It's just that the strength is very, very, very strong.
Roland looked at the girlish Mythra doll again and felt a little moved.
It's really beautiful after all.
Moreover, that body contains divine power, and after you get it, you can study it thoroughly.
Not for anything else, he was sure that he just wanted to study the nature of divine power.
Just thinking about his purpose, he still resisted the itching in his heart.
"Sorry, I still choose the deal I want."
"Okay." Mythra shook her finger, and the lifeless doll turned into blue divine energy and returned to her body: "Then, tell me the contents of your transaction."
"I will sacrifice this magic circle to you in its entirety, and then in your name and with your divine power, I will place such a teleportation magic circle in front of the temple in every large and medium-sized city, and everyone can use it. .”
Mythra was a little strange: "But I don't see what benefits you will get from this condition."
"It costs ten copper coins for each person to teleport, and the money is collected by the Magic Temple." Roland looked at the other party's beautiful pink eyes and said, "And five of the copper coins are mine. I will settle them once a month. How about that?"
"Half and half?" Mythra sighed: "What you want is just money. I thought you had more transaction content, which is obviously not as valuable as my clone. And to me , this doesn’t seem to be of any benefit, what’s the point of asking for money? Waking might be interested in your proposal.”
Roland was stunned for a moment, and then he said cautiously: "Goddess, among your followers, there must be no one who understands the long-term rules."
He also knows now that the intelligence and knowledge, experience and vision of a god all depend on the 'quality' of his believers.
Mythra was a little embarrassed.
Her current number of true believers is less than 10,000!
And most of them are magicians with little future or talent.
Anyone with a promising future has joined magic associations in various places. Who among serious mages would believe in the goddess of magic
"Sit down." Mythra quickly calmed down. She waved her hand and made two chairs.
Then the two sat facing each other.
She sat very dignified and nodded to Roland: "Tell me carefully, I am short of talents in this field now."
In the past, Mythra was just a magic research maniac, and had no research or involvement in economic rules or the long-term layout of power.
But now... her followers are all more inferior than superior, and they are even less likely to understand the theory of power and organizational operation.
"First of all, money is very important. Maybe you don't need it as a goddess, but your temple and your believers do."
"But it's only ten copper coins per teleportation, so it doesn't seem like there's much money to be made." Mythra didn't think much about it.
"Goddess, do you know how many large, medium and small cities there are in total?"
"If you only count the human world, there are about 110,000."
Roland smiled: "So, even if there are only a hundred people teleporting in each city every day, how much money will it cost?"
Mythra was stunned for a moment, and then her expression immediately became serious: "More than 100 million copper coins! This is still the lowest amount. Such a low transmission cost can be afforded by anyone who is not too poor. Every city has The average number of people transported every day can never be less than a thousand! Hiss!"
Since she is a goddess who has lived for hundreds of years, she is also frightened by this number.
She couldn't help but gasped: "Your ambition is so big!"
"Thank you." Roland smiled.
At this time, Mythra felt a little confused. She was a goddess after all, and now she was moved in front of a mortal, so she wanted to get back on the stage: "But no matter how much money I have, it will have no effect on me. I I still don’t see what benefits I can get. On the contrary, you... are very likely to become the richest person in the world. In more than ten years, Dragon King Bahamut will not be as rich as you."
Roland shook his head: "So, Goddess, you still lack people who can help you follow the rules. As far as I know, Goddess, you probably only have a few hundred temples now. So as I just described, you have to spread your temples all over the world. It is simply impossible to open a teleportation array."
Mythra's face looked a little ugly, but she was not angry, just embarrassed.
"But with money, isn't it easy for you to build more temples? And with money, you can also give higher monthly offerings to your true believers, giving them more motivation to preach, right?"
Mythra nodded: "That's true. Are there any other benefits?"
"The other is faith!" Roland spread his hands and said as if embracing the whole world: "When the magic teleportation array spreads across all large, medium and small cities in the world, and when all humans, or intelligent creatures, are accustomed to using teleportation arrays to travel, When visiting relatives or doing business, there is no need to worry about robbers or natural disasters outside. From now on, the journey will be safe and worry-free. No matter how far apart relatives are, they can see each other often... Every time they teleport, they will think that this magic circle belongs to the goddess Mythra. Gifts, from childhood to adulthood, from generation to generation, ancestors will remember your kindness. So how much benefit do you think this will have to the spread of your faith?"
Mythra's eyes lit up, very bright.
She has no knowledge in this area and no believers who understand this knowledge, so she can't think of it for the time being.
But that doesn't mean she's stupid.
After all, she is the goddess of magic and has extremely high intelligence. As long as someone puts relevant knowledge in front of her, she will quickly understand it.
Her hands were shaking slightly, but she still resisted the girlish mentality of wanting to jump up and down, and said seriously: "I understand the benefits you said, but you want too much, and you can't split it 50-50." Well, I gave too much and you gave too little.”
"But I have paid for the spell model and can tell you about the plans of the Magic God Religion." Roland said.
"It's still too much." The goddess of magic shook her head: "You are too greedy. If it is this ratio, I would rather not know about this magic circle."
The expression of the goddess of magic is very serious and determined.
Roland sighed: "How much do you say?"
"nine one!"
Roland showed an exaggerated, even angry expression: "Goddess, you are so unethical. In this case, I'm leaving."
After saying that, Roland stood up.
"Eight-two!" The goddess stared at Roland: "It can't be any higher, young man, don't be too greedy."
Roland thought for a long time and nodded with difficulty: "Okay, let's go with 82."
"Then let's make a contract." The goddess used her divine power to get a divine document between the two of them: "Put your palm on it."
Roland looked at it casually and thought there was no problem, so he put his hand up.
The cyan divine power contract disappeared, and both parties felt a strange force restraining them.
Then Roland smiled, very happily.
Mythra stared at Roland for a while, and suddenly said angrily: "Little guy, you actually lied to me. This is not your bottom line. What is your bottom line?"
