Chapter 484

Before Rennes sent Acarander away with an excited expression, Sicarius teleported back from the Red Dragon Castle and said with a smile, "Boss, Your Majesty is still waiting for your news."

"knew."

Ren smiled, Emily should be waiting impatiently.

He glanced at Sicarius, remembered something, and asked, "When are you free to go back to Astarte recently?"

Because of the existence of the teleportation array, it is very convenient for the Ultramarines to return to their tribe.

There are currently 60 members of the Extreme Battle Group. When they are not performing tasks, they will take turns returning to their homes to bring back necessary supplies and some things that are missing on the plateau to family and friends. Compared with the past hundreds of years, the life of the Macragge people has improved many times, and the external troubles have been completely solved. The internal population is also steadily increasing, and several newborns are born every month.

Sicarius became happy when he heard that, "Boss, are you going to recruit more brothers?"

"I have this idea."

Ren nodded, sixty Ultramarines were still too few.

In fact, there were many people in the Macragge tribe whispered that they wanted to join the Extreme Battlegroup, but he refused because of the face of the patriarch Marius.

Now that the Principality of Augustus is established, more manpower is needed, and it is almost time for expansion.

The same goes for the Gun Wing Knight.

Rennes has set aside a budget of 2 million gold shields for the two legions under his command. The goal is to triple the number of Ultramarines in the next few years, and expand the size of the Gunwing Knights to more than 1,000 people!

"Sicarius, next time you go back to Astarte, help me find out what Patriarch Marius has said." Ren warned, "Don't hide it, just say what I think. In addition, you can Tell the patriarch about the recent battles that the brothers have participated in, and tell him a word for me, you will not be honored if you stay on the Sain Plateau, don't miss the opportunity to fight."

"Okay, boss!"

Sicarius rubbed his hands excitedly, "I'll go back to the tribe tomorrow."

Ren walked into the teleportation hall while thinking about his army.

There are also many extraordinary people in the Principality of Augustus. If they are allowed to operate in the Principality, they will inevitably cause trouble. It is better to recruit your own subordinates, as a supplement to the two major legions, to be responsible for city security and guarding. Find a few talents out of it.

A duchy plus an earldom has to maintain three armies, and military expenditures flow out like water every year.

Fortunately, the last thing he needs now is money.

I have 10 million golden dragons piled up in the tower of Wezeland, and the 3 million golden dragons owed to me by the Duke of Lauberdeer should also be sent, as well as the distribution of spoils during the Restoration War, deducting the share of the source crystal mine In the future, there should be two or three million more.

Coupled with a batch of weapons and equipment obtained by killing many legends, such as Duke Brandon's "Ice Great Sword", if you dispose of them all, you can get millions of gold shields.

Ren roughly estimated that he had collected nearly 20 million gold shields during the Restoration of the Dragonborn!

Not to mention the more than 300,000 pounds of source crystal mines, as well as the title of duke and a principality, the value is too great to estimate.

He is the biggest winner in this war!

Standing on the teleportation array to activate the runes, the scene in front of my eyes changed, and appeared in the side hall not far from the dragon hall of the Red Dragon Castle. The four extreme fighters guarding here shouted: "Boss."

"Well, brothers have worked hard."

Ren nodded in response.

Each of the teleportation formations he arranged has four Ultramarines on duty. Now there are five teleportation formations in total, and twenty Ultramarines are needed. There will be more and more teleportation formations in the future, and the guards alone will not be enough.

"The battle group can no longer expand."

Thinking in his heart, Ren sensed Emily's position in the castle, opened any door and appeared in front of her. This is the study room on the third floor of the castle. It is luxuriously decorated, and there are matches burning in the fireplace, making the whole room warm like spring.

Emilys was resting. She was dressed in casual clothes and wore a dragon-shaped crown on her head. She leaned halfway on the large soft chair by the window and looked down at Kingsland. She seemed to be in a daze. She gently stroked her swollen belly with one hand.

Sensing the fluctuation of magic, she turned around and saw that it was Ren, with a happy expression on her face.

Ren walked over and sat down beside her, put his big hand on her abdomen, and felt that a small life was thriving inside.

The eye of the soul also sees the new soul that is maturing day by day.

A wonderful feeling came to his mind, this was the first time in his two lives that a son connected with his blood was about to come into this world.

Becoming a father for the first time made Ryan both look forward to and a little nervous.

He didn't open his mouth to speak, and Emily was not in a hurry to ask, she leaned her head on his shoulder, and the two of them looked at the scene in the cold winter outside the window, feeling the rare peace and warmth.

After a while, Ren broke the silence.

"The goddess has agreed to our plan."

"I have received an oracle. If the plan goes well, you will be promoted to God's Chosen."

He didn't disclose the arrival of the goddess incarnation, but told her that the Mechanics Union had fully supported her. Emily stood up excitedly, walked back and forth in the study several times before regaining her composure, and then prayed in the direction of the empire Gestures, read in a low voice: "Truth endures forever!"

In that split second, Ryan saw the fire of faith in her soul split in two.

Half of it is still the belief in the dragon god Bahamut, but the other half has changed. The fire of faith has turned lavender, protruding from the top of the head, sinking into the void in different directions.

In one thought, Emily became a pan-believer.

Although she just believed in the Goddess of Magic, her fire of faith is no less than her belief in the Dragon God, and even has a faint tendency to overwhelm her.

As long as she continues to pray to the goddess, she will soon become a devout believer.

If the dragon god Bahamut is paying attention to his believers at this moment, he will definitely find something abnormal, and you will be furious if it is another god. However, just like the attitude of the dragon god towards dragon descendants in the past thousands of years, as always, what That didn't happen either.

Emily breathed a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat disappointed, but also secretly glad.

Her expression became more determined, and she kept chanting the goddess' prayers and teachings. The color of the fire of faith changed more and more, and gradually turned to purple, accounting for more than 70%.

Moreover, the fire of faith is also growing rapidly, burning blazingly, reaching the point of loyal believers.

If there are outsiders present, even without the eyes of the soul, they can still perceive the changes in Emily's body at the moment, a mysterious and majestic atmosphere exudes, the eyes are bright, flashing the awesome light of wisdom, the whole body shrouded in the splendor of reason and knowledge.

Anyone who knows something about gods can see that this is a follower of the goddess of magic.

Ren also prayed several times.

These days, he prayed every morning and evening, and occasionally recited a few prayers when he had free time, which was even more diligent than taking a bath and brushing his teeth, but the effect was not satisfactory.

He observed his own fire of faith, which was better than before, but he was barely a believer.

No matter how earnestly I prayed, nothing changed. The fire of faith was not as good as Emily's first prayer.

Ren felt helpless, but he also guessed what was going on.

The most important thing for mortals to believe in gods is to recognize the teachings of the gods, to conform to the teachings of the gods in every word and deed, and to sincerely believe in the protection of the gods. The more pious believers are to the gods, the more intense the fire of faith will be, and the more power of faith they can dedicate to the gods.

Ren also wanted to truly believe in the goddess of magic, so that he could hug this big white leg.

However, his world view has long been fixed. He used to be a staunch atheist. Even if he really came into contact with the gods, it would not be easy to change.

In the depths of his heart, the gods of Allenus are not the same as the "gods" he knows.

Although the gods have unimaginable power, this power is not untouchable. Some gods were once mortals. In some respects, they are more "human" than mortals, rather than the regular "divine nature". ".

In other words, the gods of Allenus are more like "gods of personality", they are essentially extraordinary beings who have mastered an extraordinary power called "divine power".

This difference in cognition makes Renn doomed not to be a devout believer.

He can't even meet the standard of a faithful believer, let alone a fanatic.

No matter how tolerant and generous the goddess of magic is, she will not easily let a shallow believer become her God's chosen one. Every chosen one will consume a lot of divine power, unless he can get more benefits from himself and is willing to bestow divine spells.

Ryan believed that Wei Jiestri was also very clear about this.

Because it's not just him, many extraordinary people also have similar ideas, such as the teacher, who can connect with the goddess but is not a chosen one, and the fire of faith is only a loyal believer.

On the contrary, civilians who lack extraordinary power have more devout beliefs in gods and are prone to fanatics.

However, it is impossible for a fanatic among the common people to become a chosen one.

This is an unsolvable endless loop.

Ren sighed, watching Emily's flame of faith intensify. At this moment, the attention of the goddess of magic is also cast, so there is such a vision.

After a while, Emily stopped to pray, the radiance dissipated, and her eyes were filled with excitement and joy.

You don't need to ask to know that she has received a response from the goddess, and she is likely to give a promise to become a candidate for God's Chosen.

"Congratulations." Ren smiled.

Emily replied happily: "I want to thank you too, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be able to dedicate my faith to the goddess."

Ren nodded slightly, and stayed tenderly with her for a while before standing up.

"Where are you going?" Emily looked outside, the sky was getting dark and it was almost night, "I have already had dinner prepared, won't you eat with me?"

Ren shook his head, "I still have important things to do, and I have to go to the Sain Plateau."

"Plateau..." Emilys was thoughtful. She remembered that Renn started collecting source crystal mines everywhere after returning from the Sain Plateau. Suddenly, she got up and said, "Then I won't keep you, dinner I also have a lot of business to deal with afterwards.”

"Okay." Ren hugged her gently, opened any door and went in.

He teleported to Glamorgan Castle, non-stop, teleported again to King Kong Castle, raised his hand to open a portal, and appeared in the wilderness hundreds of miles to the north.

Thor's hammer emerged from the void, held in his hand and raised.

Boom!

The warhammer flew into the sky with Renn, and soon broke through the height of the clouds. The wind howled in the ear, and the whole person passed by like a thunderbolt, and the speed was getting faster and faster, leaving a series of explosions behind him. The animals and monsters on the ground looked up, but only saw the pitch-black night.

Wren flew at high speed in the night for two hours.

He flew out of Saengorn, bearing in mind Bremet's warning to stay away from the Karl Peak occupied by the ancient red dragon, first went north and then turned back, and opened a portal fifty miles away from Karl Peak.

Coming out of the portal, in front of you is a desolate valley at the waist of the peak.

Looking at the hole covered by vines, Ren didn't get in, but directly opened any door and appeared inside the collapsed underground palace.

The huge circular magic circle with a diameter of about 20 meters is still there, surrounded by six huge stone pillars, and the ground is covered with a layer of dust. Looking around, there is no trace of other people coming, exactly the same as when I left last year.

Ren followed Bremet's method and activated this cross-plane teleportation circle.

The six stone pillars around the teleportation array trembled in unison, and each rune on the stone pillars burst into light, and huge energy was injected into them.

There was a bang.

Six rays of light shot out from the stone pillar converged in the mid-air of the teleportation array. Amid the energy surge, a light door opened, as if torn open a space rift, and the light door expanded rapidly, quickly turning into a huge teleportation door.

Ren waited until the portal stabilized for a few seconds, and just about to walk in it suddenly stopped.

He let go of Thor's hammer, let it escape into the void, and then hovered and fixed in a corner of the palace, so as not to follow him into the Temple of Storms.

That Elder Titan is a demigod, and it is very likely that he discovered the existence of Thor's Hammer.

The characteristics of Thor's Hammer are obviously more attractive to the titan than other demigods. If the other half is greedy, it will be troublesome.

After placing the hammer, Ren walked into the portal.

The scene in front of him was distorted, as if the whole person was thrown into the teleportation channel, and quickly passed through the astral world. After ten seconds, his eyes lit up, and the teleportation ended.

Ren stood on a broad platform.

As far as the eye can see, a huge palace group is located on the top of the mountains, and in the distance are endless storm clouds, and terrifying lightning flashes in the sky from time to time.

The Temple of Storms has arrived!

"Human, are you back so soon?" A deep voice sounded.

"Your Excellency Lodar." Ren looked at the storm giant in front of him, nodded and said in giant language, "I'm here to see Elder Solim."

The five-meter-tall storm giant couldn't help but look at Ren a few times, his face couldn't hide his surprise, and he said in disbelief: "In such a short time, your strength has become so powerful!"

Renn smiled reservedly, but did not explain.

He asked again: "Is Elder Sorim there?"

The storm giant found that he couldn't see through Ren, shook his head and nodded in amazement, and said, "The elder has always been there, so go visit the Temple of the Furnace by yourself."
