Port Evans.
This is the most eastern port of the Kingdom of Arsen. Relying on trade with the Eastern Continent, it has accumulated unimaginable wealth. Every day, many businessmen, adventurers, and mercenaries come here with dreams, bringing new vitality to this port city. .
Although many of them will become corpses in the sewer, or unlucky ones in shipwrecks, there are always one or two guys favored by the god of fate who will be lucky enough to board a passenger ship to the east and successfully Shipped back a batch of special products from the Eastern Continent.
No matter what it is, it will basically be taken away by the chamber of commerce in the port immediately, realizing the myth of getting rich overnight, and encouraging more people to come to find opportunities to make a fortune.
Dangdang! Dangdang!
Accompanied by the sound of a huge bronze bell, a passenger ship from the Eastern Continent slowly berthed at the pier.
Before the ship stopped, many laborers rushed to build a pontoon under the leadership of the foreman, preparing to move the goods.
Most of the passenger ships at this time were dual-purpose, carrying both goods and people.
From the suspension bridge on the other side, many white-skinned, blond-haired Caucasians walked down, weather-beaten on their bodies, but with strong nostalgia on their faces.
"Hometown, finally back!"
…
Among the group of Westerners, there are also a few yellow-skinned Orientals, which are very conspicuous.
"That's... a crane?"
Standing on the deck, Wu Ming looked at the huge machinery moving tons of cargo, like the arm of a god, and couldn't help but secretly nodded.
The end of this kind of mechanical arm is a large net bag, which is extremely strong woven with special cables, and can easily net several tons of goods.
Relying on the crane and the crawlers on the side, a shipment of goods was quickly disassembled, divided into small packages, and carried back to a specific warehouse by the coolies. It took a very short time.
"Sure enough, has it developed to this point?"
Wu Ming could keenly perceive the traces of magic power on the mechanical crane.
Even if it is just some simple enchanting techniques, it also proves that the power of mages has been widely used in people's livelihood.
During this trip, Wu Ming didn't want to shock the world, so he directly pretended to be an ordinary person and mixed into this ocean-going passenger ship.
With his means, neither the captain, the sailors, nor the passengers on board felt the slightest abnormality.
Even the western gods were unaware of his arrival.
"Well, what a bustling port..."
This western port is obviously more lively than the eastern New Territories port, but it is also more chaotic.
On the noisy streets, silk and spices from the East, corals and pearls from the deep sea, root carving crafts of tree elves, all kinds of strange things related to voodoo are placed on the shelves dazzlingly. .
Although most of the passers-by were Caucasians, they were also mixed with other skin colors, and there were even one or two fair-skinned, pointed-eared, extremely neutral aliens passing by.
"Elf?"
Wu Ming glanced a few more times with interest. The elves in this world are slightly different from the rumors in his previous life. They are not all handsome men and beautiful women, but very neutral in appearance, and they always carry bows and arrows and sabers. The smell made Wu Ming know that it was definitely not a decoration, but a murder weapon that often killed people and drank blood.
"Turn around in the western countries first, solve some problems, and then go to the territory of foreign races..."
Wu Ming made a plan for himself.
When he came to the Western Continent this time, besides the on-site inspection, he also had some things to clarify.
As soon as he thought of this, he began to caress a ring with his palm in his trouser pocket.
It was Wu Ming's trophy in New Territories last time, and it depicted the ring of ouroboros.
It originally belonged to a strange group of high-level Western professionals who traveled to the East to cause chaos.
But when it hit Wu Ming's hands, the whole army could only be wiped out, and even the ring became Wu Ming's trophy.
The original pattern of ouroboros immediately reminded Pope Henze of the world-destroying snake in the continent of Searle.
But now Wu Ming, who has obtained all the inheritance and memories of the Infinite Snake, knows that this existence does not have any arrangements and backhands in the Western Continent of this world.
The origin of this ouroboros is quite strange.
Wu Ming even suspected that after the death of the Creator God's Temple, the Infinite Snake was not the only one who came back to life.
If there is another incarnation, then everything can be explained.
"The deity of the Infinite Snake is the peak of the eighth level, infinitely close to the existence of the ninth level, and only the real ninth level can make him fall and damage his imprint in the long river of time... But how can it be so easy to exist at the eighth level What died was only the resurrection of an infinite snake, which could lay out a universe. In the end, I almost plotted with me and ascended to the position of Daluo... "
"If there is something wrong with his imprint, it is also possible that another incarnation that the Infinite Serpent does not know will be resurrected..."
Wu Ming touched his chin: "Of course, it doesn't necessarily have something to do with the Infinite Snake..."
From the inheritance of the Infinite Snake, he learned that the emblem of Ouroboros does not represent the Infinite Snake, but the inheritance of the blood of an ancient evil god!
Any powerful existence who inherited a trace of blood from that ancient evil god can use the symbol of ouroboros.
It seems that there is a mysterious power in this symbol. If it is an existence above the sixth level and has the blood of the evil god, it can use it to complete some kind of ancient sacrifice and get everything you want from the evil god.
However, judging from the rich experience of the Infinite Snake who has traveled through many universes, and has not found an existence similar to him, the blood of that evil god is already very thin.
However, in this higher-dimensional world, everything is hard to say.
"What does the Ouroboros ring mean, and which true god is related to it?"
Congratulations to all the gods in the western world for being promoted to Da Luo this time.
Just based on Wu Ming's knowledge of the western gods, he didn't find any existence similar to the infinite snake.
Unless He is God Most High!
But this is even more impossible. If the Supreme God wants to go to war in the east, he can just issue an oracle directly, and there is no need to secretly send people to the east to cause damage. It is still such an indiscriminate method.
"A hidden true god? Or, equivalent to the existence of a true god!"
Wu Ming murmured.
In this world, although Shinto is the mainstream, there are other ways.
Whether it is the immortals in the east, or the liches and great magicians in the west, they all have the power comparable to that of a true god!
The mage's tower where they live, or the blessed land of the half-plane, is no different from the kingdom of the main god.
Even, because they don't accept much faith and are free and easy, their restrictions on the mainland are much smaller than that of the true god.
The Eastern Federation relied on this characteristic to compete with the gods. It set up its headquarters directly in the main world, but instead grabbed the gods' dead spot.
After all, under the premise that the real body of the gods cannot come to the main world at will, and can only use incarnation or divine descent, the immortal deity who can fully exert its original strength in the main world is naturally even better.
It is because of this that the Federation was able to resist the counterattack of the gods at the beginning and survive tenaciously until now.
If it wasn't for the true God, and if he hadn't registered in the Western Divine Court, Wu Ming would naturally not know about His information.
"Or, it's not another incarnation of the infinite snake, but just a cult member who was recruited by the ancient evil gods and formed spontaneously?"
Wu Ming pondered: "If this is the case, what is the reason for their provocative behavior in the Eastern Continent?"
"No matter what, this ring is a clue, and it will always guide me to the truth!"
Wu Ming is quite confident about this.
…
The biggest difference between the Western Continent and the Eastern Continent is that one is a unified Dachang Empire, while the other is a scattered alliance of nations.
On the border of the Western Continent, there are many kingdoms, and there are layers of nobles below, and the power is quite scattered.
However, between countries, there are still some organizations that have influence across countries, that is, churches and guilds!
Needless to say, the church naturally has the right to preach in any country as long as it is the true God of the West that has been recognized by the monitoring eyes. Of course, how many believers it can attract depends on the ability of each church.
The guild, on the other hand, is more similar to the Eastern Federation, a non-governmental spontaneous organization. At first it was a gathering of certain handicrafts and extraordinary people, and later it gradually developed into a continental organization with many functions. There is not much discipline in the speech, full of free and scattered atmosphere, but the intelligence is also very amazing.
"A large western city must have many churches, as well as mercenary guilds and thieves guilds..."
Wu Ming curled his lips: "It's a pity that those thieves are just like mice. They have to keep the guild secret, and even set a time limit to open it. Otherwise, in terms of rich and accurate information, the thieves' guild will be even better..."
At this moment, he didn't have much choice, so he went directly to the mercenary guild.
"Hello, dear guest, what service do you need?"
The lady behind the counter asked with a smile, bowing deeply, revealing her full and round bustline.
"I'm a traveler from the east, and I want to issue a mission. I don't know what procedures are required?"
Wu Ming asked with a smile.
"Reserve money is required, and we will evaluate the content and danger of the task, so as to divide the level, and there will be a reward!"
The girl answered with a sweet smile.
Obviously, compared to the strict household registration system of the Dachang Empire, it is obviously unrealistic to have such a system when there are many western countries. Therefore, the service of the mercenary guild is quite humanized, and the only difference is the fee. Also more expensive.
"I don't know what task the guest needs to post?"
"A reward! I need information about this ring!"
Wu Ming raised the Ouroboros ring in his hand, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
