Volume 3 Takeoff Chapter 415: The Temptation of Priesthood
Khalida also realized this, so after Levi secretly gave her a wink, she leaned forward to salute and opened her mouth to spit out several points of light as a token of her sincerity.
If it was the Immortal Emperor Settra, or any other Tomb King, they might not make the decision so easily.
Because they had died long ago, they were not even that respectful to the Egyptian gods. This was out of anger and hatred that even though they were resurrected, they could only obtain corrupted bodies.
But she was a unique warrior queen, different from them all.
Seeing this, Levi retreated immediately. In fact, under normal circumstances, with Lilith's current attitude towards him, he could definitely see it all from beginning to end.
But he was concerned about Khalida's face.
When mortals pledge allegiance to God, they usually have to kneel down and worship. If he were there, Khalida might be slightly affected.
She has really lost too much face in front of me these few days, so I should let her have some self-respect.
And Goddess Lilith will probably give her some rewards or something to bribe her, so it’s better not to look at these things.
I can take this time to continue searching the surroundings to see if there is any hidden treasure or something like that.
But he didn't have to wait long. After a few minutes, Khalida came out: "Levi, the goddess is calling you."
Levi nodded slightly, and then he immediately let out a light exclamation.
Khalida's face was originally very pale, and only when she was extremely ashamed did it briefly turn rosy, but she was still slightly different from ordinary people.
But now her exposed skin was as rosy as that of a living person, and her towering chest was constantly rising and falling. She was actually breathing!
Although Levi's gaze was a little rude, Khalida didn't care at the moment. She even said with some joy: "The goddess gave me the secret medicine of God, which allowed my body to recover to its former state."
I see!
Levi understood immediately. Apart from the series of hidden divine duties, in addition to multitasking, Lilith also had an extremely powerful ability, which was alchemy.
She has been the goddess of the Knight Kingdom for more than a thousand years. Every year, more or less knights pass the trial and obtain the Holy Grail bestowed by her personally.
After drinking the secret elixir in the Holy Grail, the knights will gain many powerful abilities and become true dragons among men - Holy Grail Knights.
The knights even called it the blood of the goddess, which shows how powerful and rare it is.
Having been refining medicine for thousands of years, even if she has not yet obtained the relevant priesthood, it is an easy and pleasant thing for her to solve Khalida's minor problems.
I just don't know whether Lilith revealed her identity to her, and how much Khalida paid for it.
But that has nothing to do with him for now. If I really want to tell him these details, he will probably know them sooner or later.
Then as he entered, Levi saw Lilith playing with several points of light.
Some of them were quite similar to the divinity he had obtained before, but the other two were as crystal clear as crystal, which he had never seen before.
“Haha, the Serpent God was actually willing to give up. In addition to his divinity, he also left behind fragments of the priesthood of the Serpent Man. Perhaps he once wanted to be reborn in another body. What a pity…”
Although Lilith didn't finish her words, Levi understood instantly.
Of course, the resurrection of a God who has lost his kingdom and body would require very harsh conditions.
In addition to a qualified body, a large amount of energy is required, either divine power or enough power of faith.
But if the world has already forgotten his existence, not many people believe in him, and his own energy is severely insufficient, then no matter how many spare bodies he has, it will be difficult for him to be resurrected.
This seems to be the case with the Serpent God. Khalida still misses him, but how much faith can she contribute?
So he has been dead for thousands of years, and there has been no movement since then.
It is even possible that Set had confirmed through some channel that the Serpent God was dead, so he boldly wanted to obtain this priesthood.
"I helped Khalida strip it off, and completely eliminated the hidden dangers. Even Set is unlikely to continue to watch her in the future, but I am not interested in it."
"Hey, Levi, do you want the priesthood fragment of this snake man?"
Looking at those two points of light, it would be impossible for Levi to say that he was not a little moved.
As long as there are three identical fragments of priesthood, they can be condensed into a complete priesthood, which is one of the important conditions for becoming a god.
From human to god, it is an essential improvement in life. Once he becomes a god, even if his level does not increase at all, ordinary legends will not be his opponent.
But unfortunately it is a "snake man".
He was not afraid of competing with Set or the snake god, Mershok. With Lilith's support behind him, even if he could not win, he would definitely not lose too badly.
But in fact, there is no need for that, because the snake people as a race themselves have great limitations.
Snake people are cold-blooded creatures. Not only do they have certain requirements for the terrain and environment in which they survive, they also have relatively low resistance to cold.
Therefore, in the heart of Horris, where the snake people are the most numerous, every winter, the snake people all lie down in their nests, each of them listless, and their various abilities decline to varying degrees.
By then, the surrounding Zhendan Dynasty, Inda Kingdom, even the Nibon Island Kingdom and the Monkey People, etc., will temporarily put aside their hatred for each other and start taking advantage of the situation to rob the Snake People.
Countless years passed, and no matter how many methods the snake people tried, they were still unable to get rid of their own weaknesses.
The more arrogant they are in spring and summer, the worse they will be beaten when autumn and winter come.
Even the snake-man god Melshok, who was of medium power, could only watch and do nothing.
Because of his wealth and power, it doesn't matter to him that hundreds of thousands of snake believers die every year. But if it were someone with a weak foundation, they might be wiped out in one wave.
If it weren't for this reason, he might have been promoted to a powerful god long ago.
Of course, this is probably the tacit understanding of many surrounding forces, because once he is promoted, it will not be a good thing for everyone.
Snakes are greedy, vicious, and cruel by nature, and he is also a chaotic evil. It is easy to imagine that the stronger he becomes, the greater the threat he poses to those around him.
More importantly, the snake people are born to be chaotic evil, which is in serious conflict with him, a celestial mystic.
Moreover, any being with a priesthood or godhood will no longer be able to use the Nine Volumes of Nagash, which will have a huge impact.
He also wanted to collect all nine volumes, and then make the method of creating Death Guards included in them his own.
There's no way Lilith didn't know this, so she was probably just joking.
So he smiled and shook his head and said, "I don't think I'm capable enough to do it. Even if I want to become a god, I will work towards death, war or magic, the three directions with the greatest potential and the strongest power."
Lilith laughed and collected them all with her backhand.
At this point in time, everyone now knows that their common goal is indeed to obtain these three types of priesthood.
"Then I'll trade it with Set. I don't think he will refuse."
Levi also laughed a little. It was indeed difficult for Seth to refuse. After all, this was his original purpose.
It's just that Seth wanted to get it for free at the beginning, but now he must pay some price.
Although Set is a little arrogant, he does have enough capital. Apart from anything else, the number of his priesthood is not much less than that of Lilith, also in double digits.
Evil, desert, destruction, drought, night, decay, scavengers, carnivores, hatred, malice, treachery, ambition, poison, murder and evil magic.
Lilith's three identities combined only barely surpassed him in number.
The first ten or so may be common items, but the last few should definitely not be underestimated.
In comparison, the number of priesthoods held by his brother, the God King Osiris, is a little pitiful, and a little weird.
Death, the dead, justice, there's nothing much to say, it's all good.
Nature, plants, and harvests, all seem pretty good at first glance. As a god that is more inclined towards agriculture, he will undoubtedly be believed in and supported by farmers, one of the largest groups of mortals.
But when combined with three other priesthoods such as death, it becomes rather strange.
Do you want the plant to grow longer or die faster? The death of a plant is also a kind of death!
When a farmer goes to pray, he can't help but think more. He originally prayed that the crops would grow better and the harvest would be higher.
But what if God made a mistake and let him die early? Wouldn’t that be unfair?
Although Osiris's church and priests have repeatedly refuted the rumor, claiming that God is omnipotent and would never make mistakes on such basic matters, such doubts have never stopped.
In addition to the inherent suspicion of human nature, Levi felt that Seth probably also caused a lot of trouble. After all, his duties such as betrayal and malice were not for show.
In addition, Nagash caused a big incident in the past, which resulted in heavy losses for all the Egyptian gods. Now the mummy farmers in the city of Lahmia have begun to grow stones and bones, and Osiris must have suffered heavy losses as well.
His recovery was far slower than that of Set, who possessed the priesthood of desert priests. After all, most of the kingdom under their rule was now desert.
In this situation, any other evil god would probably have some rebellious thoughts.
After being blocked and beaten by Cain and failing to obtain the fragment of the priesthood from Khalida, if Lilith came to him on her own initiative, no matter how angry Seth was, there was still a great possibility that he would bleed heavily.
Because he really needed this priesthood in order to compete with the snake god, Mershok, and even to accumulate strength to resist his brother.
That’s right, Levi had already roughly deduced Seth’s true intentions!
After finishing this topic, Levi pondered for a moment: "Goddess, the sacrificial ceremony recorded here..."
He doesn't have to make sacrifices to gain experience points, because the soul crystals are of great use to him.
But he may need to help his subordinates break through their limits.
If Julia and Janet had been able to grow into level 7 soldiers first and then switch to heroes, they might be even stronger than they are now.
The past is difficult to make up for, but now he doesn't want to leave any regrets for his other subordinates.
Lilith smiled and shook her head. "It's okay, just use it. I didn't find Nagash before, but if you use it a few more times and he really is accepting sacrifices, I might be able to find him."
She has now found out that Nagash once attempted to become a god, and the god of death. It must be said that he was indeed very arrogant.
Since he is so arrogant, he should have some capital to be arrogant, right?
Besides the Nine Volumes of Nagash, does he have something else that interests her?
So she had no intention of stopping .
Then she changed the subject: "Also, I have some news to tell you."
"Teclis found a copy of the Nine Volumes of Nagash in the White Tower of Hoth, and I agreed to let him study and use it for the time being."
Having said that, she deliberately paused, as if she wanted to observe Levi's reaction.
But Levi's reaction was far beyond her expectations. He did not show any jealousy or dissatisfaction. Instead, he seemed a little surprised.
And she was 100% sure that this was not his disguise, but he really believed it! This immediately made her very satisfied.
For her big plan, she certainly couldn't rely on Levi alone, so she would place her bets separately.
It would be great if all the people she chose could live in harmony.
Little did they know that Levi simply thought that instead of searching the whole world with no clues, it would be better to temporarily hand it over to the friendly indigenous people.
He believed that as long as the price was high enough, he would be able to take the things from Tigris sooner or later!
However, he still asked casually: "This is a good thing, but I don't know which volume it is?"
"Volume 5."
Levi's mood suddenly became even better, because according to the Book of Wisdom, the fifth volume was named the Book of Corpses.
As you can tell from the name, it is probably about researching and creating various undead creatures.
Teclis is a lawful good legendary wizard. Is this really a good thing for him?
Could it be that Lilith had never read the book? Maybe she didn't even know its name?
Well, this is indeed very likely. According to the system prompt just now, he got the true names of all nine volumes when he obtained two volumes at the same time, and one of them was the volume of wisdom.
Lilith obviously does not meet these conditions, because as a god, she cannot use the Nine Volumes of Nagash at all.
She has always been the one who is in control of everything, but now there is finally something that she doesn't understand but she knows, hehe...
Lilith was really confused this time. She clearly said this to put some pressure on him so that he wouldn't become arrogant because of the recent series of events, but he ended up becoming happier and happier?
"The second thing is that Illidan found out that one of the volumes was in the Lustria rainforest and seemed to be collected by the magic toad Mazdamuddi.
But he was not sure of the details yet, because he encountered Velsharoon's executioner - Arthas, and he was exposed because of the battle with him.
The lizardmen have therefore become more vigilant, and it may be difficult to continue the investigation in the future."
When it comes to this name, she actually feels a bit of a headache.
The race of magic toads is extremely talented in magic, and it is almost certain that they are the most magically talented race in the main world.
At the same time, they can mobilize the network of spiritual veins and greatly enhance their spellcasting abilities.
It can even be said that unless she is willing to expose her identity as the Lady of the Lake, it would be almost impossible for her to defeat the opponent relying solely on the fighting incarnations of her other two identities.
Most of the weak gods have gone to Mazdamuddi, who is entrenched in Hexota, the largest and most strongly defended Sun City of the Lizardmen. They are simply seeking death.
Yes, he is that powerful.
But when Levi heard this, he became even happier.
Mazdamuddi had previously passed on a message to him through Kuja, saying that he owed the Lizardmen a favor.
It was obvious that the Lizard Man most likely wanted him to help with something, so he said that.
Because even if ordinary people are eager to owe favors to the Lizardmen, the Lizardmen will not pay any attention to them.
If he could make good use of this opportunity, it would be entirely possible for him to get the Nine Volumes of Nagash.
Nowadays, who doesn’t know that those who owe money are the boss?
As for Illidan's affairs, he didn't need to ask.
With the support of Lilith and the night elves behind him, Illidan has become a true god, and his divine power is increasing every moment.
Although Arthas is a demigod with a semi-artifact, his boss, Velsharoon, is being chased and beaten by the gods every day, and his strength is continuously declining.
Previously, he was dealt a heavy blow by Lilith and Moonbow in the Temple of Bones. Not only did they kill one of his battle incarnations, but even his staff was snatched away by Illidan.
In this situation, will Velsharoon try to get some power from Arthas to make up for himself?
And when Arthas became weak, Velsharoon would not have to worry too much about his possible betrayal.
Not to mention Arthas's previous actions, which made him very suspicious of being a traitor, Velsharoon himself was accustomed to betrayal, and he would definitely judge others by his own standards.
So there was no need to ask at all, Levi could be sure that this time it was Illidan who beat Arthas violently, and the scene might be extremely brutal.
Seeing his performance, Lilith became more and more confused. She really couldn't understand why. Maybe she should sort out what had happened recently later.
In fact, she was busy chasing after Visharon, dealing with Set, and was distracted by things in the east, so she was unable to pay full attention to what was happening here with Levi.
But okay, let's tell him something that would really make him happy.
"Finally, I have allowed Eltharion the Merciless to launch an expedition against the greenskins in the name of Lady of the Mist, Radlily."
Levi was suddenly more and more surprised.
The Merciless, or Grim One, is a very famous legendary hero among the High Elves.
He is the leader of Iris, one of the ten great kingdoms, which is shrouded in mist all day long and is good at taming flying creatures. He is also the chosen one of Lilith's vest - Lady of the Mist.
At the same time, he, Tyrion and Teclis were classmates who studied martial arts and magic together.
Yes, he learned magic and martial arts separately, and was also extremely skilled in command.
He also once took the baton from the Dragon Prince to fight against the King of the Dark Elves, the Witch King Malekith.
As for other demons, greenskins, dark elves, ratmen and the like, no one knew how many he killed.
His magic was not as good as that of Teclis, and his melee ability was slightly inferior to that of Tyrion and the Dragon Prince, but on the other hand, his martial arts was far superior to the former, and his magic completely crushed the latter two.
After comprehensive consideration, his combat power is ranked very high among the high elves and even the legends of the entire main world.
There was a reason why Lilith asked him to launch an expedition against the greenskins, and all the high elves, dwarves, humans, and even the greenskins could fully understand it.
The defenses of the island of Ulthuan are extremely strict. Except for the Dark Elves, their former blood relatives and current blood enemies, it is almost impossible for other races to invade.
But if it is a demon from another world, it would be completely different. The strong evil power may even affect the outer defense circle of Oshuan.
Once while the Merciless One was away from home, demons successfully invaded Ulthuan in great numbers and breached the wards.
It just so happened that at this time a large group of greenskins started WAAAGH and went on an expedition to the sea, and then somehow they ended up in the Merciless's hometown.
Compared to other kingdoms, the Kingdom of Yvresse is located in the southeast of the outer ring of the island of Ulthuan, very close to the territories of humans and greenskins.
Then the group of greenskins killed all his relatives and friends, including his father, and the blood flowed like a river.
After receiving the news , the Ruthless successfully repelled the greenskins with his powerful strength and extraordinary command ability, and worked together with Tyrion and others to expel the demon.
But the tens of thousands of dead people naturally cannot be resurrected.
From then on, he became ruthless towards the greenskins and was determined to kill all the greenskins he saw and knew.
His most important target, of course, is the original culprit - the Big Belly King - Gollum.
Well, this Gollum is also a legend, and a rather rare goblin.
As we all know, trolls can regenerate very quickly. Generally, only ogres or other trolls have the ability to digest troll meat.
If it were a human or an elf, it would likely be choked to death by the ever-growing troll flesh.
But it is said that a goblin named Gollum not only did not die from being stuffed to death, but instead adapted to the troll flesh. The troll flesh in his stomach even gave him the strength and recovery ability of a troll.
This makes his size far larger than that of ordinary goblins or green-skinned orcs, making him a big guy among the trolls.
Although from then on, it was difficult for him to walk on his own legs like ordinary goblins, and he could only use a chariot to drag his huge body, his fighting power increased greatly.
This legend spread so widely, and as Gollum's achievements became more and more glorious, the story became more and more mysterious.
To be honest, Levi didn't quite believe it.
Because countless trolls have died at his hands. Although he does have some regenerative ability, he can be killed by just a little acid or fire.
Maybe some green-skinned god was behind this, and Gollum was actually the chosen one chosen by the other party, and he finally made up such a legend.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that Gollum's expeditionary fleet went ashore directly after Ulthuan was invaded by demons?
But in any case, Gollum's record is indeed strong. The Kingdom of Yvresse of the Merciless is one of the victims, but not the only one.
Some human kingdoms were forced to move their capitals, and some dwarf kingdoms were forced to close their castles and dare not fight the enemy. These are all Gollum's glorious achievements.
Therefore, in recent years, the Merciless have been committed to restoring the glory of the Kingdom of Yvresse and have formed a large number of defense forces to defend against possible future enemies such as Gollum or demons.
The Sky Eagle Archers under Levi's command originally originated from the Ruthless.
But what really excited Levi was a type of flying cavalry that he had specially trained.
The flying knight who is known as the closest to the Dragon Knight in the main world, without a doubt, is the famous Tar Gaiwo - Griffin Knight!
