The Righteous Player(s)

Chapter 658 Delivery of Last Words
——[Dragon Transformation].

That is to become the messenger of the old grandmother.

Annan certainly knew what the "messenger" was.

In fact, this is a euphemistic way of saying... Only the undead can become an envoy of God.

This means that Ivan's time has come.

But Annan didn't feel any grief...

Because it's not really a farewell.

This is different from the teachings of some false gods, "dead believers will come to the gods" or "the souls of the dead will go to hell".The twelve righteous gods don't need to use this kind of lies to deceive believers, but false gods—especially those who are loyal to opening up territories, will more or less tell some small lies in order to get help.

The biggest lies are "God will hear your prayers" and "Be faithful to God".

——Except for those with abnormal perceptions like Kafni who are born to talk to the gods, basically only in the correct and powerful rituals can the gods hear the voice of the caller.Of course, it's a different matter if you call by your real name... After all, the act of "calling out your real name" is itself a ritual.

In fact, if you think about it, you know, if you can hear the gods by calling out, what is the use of the ceremony?

And as for piety... Whether it is a righteous god or a false god, neither piety nor belief is required.There are only two things the gods do - maintain the concept of priesthood, and purify nightmares.

As for making emissaries, running churches, compiling divine spells, compiling teachings, etc., they are all extensions of these two things.

But God doesn't need piety...but the church does.

The less welfare and competitiveness a church has, the more it will emphasize the importance of faith.Through the web of faith and the afterlife they are able to compel believers to do all kinds of work for them.

When they are devout enough, they don't ask for anything in return, and they don't care about experience.For the Church of False Gods with a small family and a small business, this is a very crucial step.

——Orthodox churches with strong appeal, such as Yinjue Church, have no shortage of people at all.

They can even tell the believers directly that it doesn’t matter whether they really believe in the Silver Lord, as long as they don’t blaspheme in the temple, even if they scold the Silver Lord on the street, as long as they don’t happen to be met by the Silver Lord, no one will care about you .

You can complain all you want, but work cannot be delayed.

The church assigns individuals the highest mission of purifying nightmares; and the volunteer tasks that everyone needs to complete.

For example, working as a teacher in a church school, or managing donations, or helping ordinary people read and explain the contract problems they encounter, and accepting complaints and reports about other contract workers and participating in investigations... These jobs are also is a must.

——You must know that the core teaching of Sir Silver is not to grab profits, but to maintain transactions.

Therefore, those businessmen who make money by deceiving and killing chickens and taking eggs will be hunted down by the priests of the Silver Jue if they are reported.

The old grandmother's behavior style is completely different from that of Sir Silver.

As the god of tradition, he only favors his blood descendants.Because of this, the old grandmother would only choose messengers from the successors of the Frostwhispering Blood.

——In other words, all the emissaries of the old grandmother are strictly related.

Maybe after becoming an envoy, I found that my father, uncle, aunt, and grandfather were all staring at me, muttering "You are here" and "I just came".

And his messenger looks like a huge dragon in appearance.

The good thing is that they can finally break free from the emotional shackles of "Winterheart".But at this time, they can no longer turn back into human beings and speak human words.

It is completely different from the "Perfect Dragon Form" obtained after "Heart of Winter" evolved to its final form and advanced to the golden rank.

The innate ability of Heart of Winter, if it can evolve to [Winter's Blood], and then obtain a dyed soul, it can theoretically become a real ancient dragon.

It can transform at will without losing its profession, has a long lifespan, and is extremely resistant.If you are a wizard, you can even cast spells in dragon form.

To be more precise.

——That is to say, the "clan" who became the old grandmother.

In fact, the talent of "Heart of Winter" was originally used by the old grandmother to create the same race.The curses, restraints, and enhancements it provides are all side effects of extracting blood.

And the messenger of the old grandmother, the "Dragon of Frost Whispers", just looks like a giant dragon.

They have lost their human auditory organs and vocal organs, and can only "listen" and "speak" in Frost Language or Dragon Language.

Therefore, if you want to hold a high-level ceremony to summon the dragon, you must be proficient in one of these two ancient languages, otherwise you will not be able to use the dragon at all.

However, the giant dragon transformed in this way cannot be transformed back into a human form, nor can it communicate in human language.They also don't have all the extraordinary abilities they had when they were humans, and naturally they can't perform rituals... All they have is the breathing ability, flying ability, resistance and attack ability of the "shell" given by the old grandmother.Like a human transformed into a dragon.

Of course, even so, their combat effectiveness is very terrifying.

It is different from the "Silver Guide" type of messenger.The Dragon of Frost Whispers is a real thug—possessing an extremely cold breath weapon, the wisdom of a wise man among human beings, a calm and indifferent heart, who can summon a blizzard with just words, a monster with rough skin and thick flesh, standing twenty feet tall .

That is a monster that multiple silver-rank transcendents may not be able to handle...

The most terrifying thing is that this shell can be destroyed at will.Because it is actually a virtual image pinched by "traditional" power.Therefore, if the summoned dragons are in a good mood, they will not care about their own safety when fighting for the summoner.

However, even if you can't turn back into a human, it's actually not a big problem...

Because the messenger originally had to stay away from the world.This limitation of not being able to turn back into a human is itself a means by which the old grandmother who often falls into dragon sleep and lacks control over them ensures that the envoys stay away from the world.

If the envoy is in the material world, he will not be able to respond to the ceremony in the first place...it would be tantamount to absenteeism.

As an undead, the "guarantee fee" for the envoy to continue to survive without triggering the burial mechanism was paid by the gods.

If the envoys do not work, it is tantamount to a kind of white whoring...

Although the old grandmother was very kind to her blood heirs, it didn't mean she would let them do whatever they wanted - all her envoys were blood heirs, which also meant that there was nothing special about any one of them to her.

Maybe Yinjue will give someone a period of time off occasionally because of his special talent.But the old grandmother would not.

She has a strong parental will.

And for her, no matter how powerful the Duke of Winter is outside, they must be her juniors in front of her.

In order to work, the emissary must live in other adjacent worlds, or in the gap between worlds.In this way, they can respond the moment the ritual masters initiate the ritual.

If it's good... probably because Ivan can see his father and grandfather again.

Ivan's talent is so outstanding, he spent his life conscientiously.Annan didn't have to worry that his grandmother would look down on him.

And in that case, there is at least one advantage - Annan and Ivan will not part forever.

After Ivan turned into an emissary, they still have a chance to meet again.

Yes.

Afterwards, as long as Annan holds the ceremony of "Summoning: Dragon of Frost Whispers", there is a chance that he will be able to summon his own father...

"It's almost this month," Ivan said slowly, "I heard that you are dealing with the Northern Alliance. I will try to live for a few more days, and wait for you to deal with their problems before turning into a dragon.

"Before then, I must deliver to you the secrets passed down from generation to generation by the Grand Duke..."

"...Great level curse?"

Annan guessed what Ivan was going to say.

Ivan nodded.

He patted the three-color crutches he usually used, and said calmly: "Actually, this is a great super-curse that has been passed down from generation to generation in our family. You didn't expect it, did you?"

"……what?"

Annan froze for a moment.

I didn't expect.jpg
Annan glanced at the three-color scepter with three legs spread out like an infusion stand in Ivan's hand, and suddenly hesitated.

It turns out... Isn't this a non-slip crutch?

　update completed!
　　If I didn’t suddenly fall asleep after eating today, I should be able to update it earlier...but I’m still done.

　　In addition, today is actually the birthday of the brother next door~
