Volume 4 Chapter 573: The Star Queen's Conditions
After returning to Dread Rock, Levi began to formally organize the knowledge of Nagash and tried to further classify and summarize them.
After just a few attempts, he realized that the workload was too heavy for him, who had not yet become a god. Without working hard for three to five years, it would be impossible to see much effect.
Therefore, he could only postpone this task temporarily and take action after he was officially canonized as a god.
The gods' divinity possesses various abilities, and they can also be regarded as very efficient processors. It is for this reason that the gods can accept the prayers of countless believers at the same time, and then give different degrees of response based on the other party's piety, merits to the church and God, and so on.
But the biggest benefit at the moment is that Levi has successfully met the requirements of the Nine Volumes of Nagash. Even if he is deified immediately, he can still equip them.
After thinking about it, Levi called Elegy, Donna, Cindy, Penthesilea, Sefa, Michaela and others.
Then he contacted Whirlwind Fury, and it was time to formally visit the Ai Ci Tian Clan.
Whirlwind's response was also very straightforward. She directly opened a portal: "Come quickly, the Queen is waiting for you!"
Levi knew that the wrath of the whirlwind was not a casual remark, because the small plane where the Star King's Court was located was very special. It was not fixed in one place, but was constantly moving.
Apart from the Queen of Stars - Moviel herself, not even God can find its location, so without the approval of the Queen of Stars, no one can open a portal leading there.
It was the other party's impatient look that made him feel even worse.
But now that things have come to this, he can only bite the bullet and step in.
As the light flickered, they found themselves in a forest bathed in starlight.
Directly in front of him was an exquisite fountain, with Whirlwind Fury standing there carelessly. On both sides were some members of the Aithorn Clan. Levi took a casual glance and found that most of them were those who had responded to his call before, such as the Winged Serpent Aithorn - Orina and so on.
"Levi, now that you are here, why don't you pass by our 'Fountain of Beauty' first!"
Levi's eyes suddenly lit up, and Elegy, Sefa and others also had their eyes shining.
"Is this the famous Fountain of Beauty that is said to be coveted by even the goddess of love and beauty, Sune?"
“That’s right!”
The Fountain of Beauty, simply bathing in or drinking this magical spring water can temporarily enhance a person's charm. If it is done many times, it will become permanent.
At the same time, it also has a series of effects such as maintaining eternal youth, repairing scars, etc., which are all incidental. It can be regarded as an enhanced version of Amazon's Fountain of Youth.
Unfortunately, the Queen of Stars has always been very stingy with this, and only a handful of people can actually obtain them.
The little bit of charm improvement is nothing to Levi. What he is more interested in is whether he can produce a more effective finished product if he uses them as raw materials?
But that is a matter for later. Levi just asked everyone who was already a little impatient to take a shower first.
Although they were full of excitement, in order to save Levi's face, Wange and others restrained their impulses and maintained their elegance and etiquette.
After bathing and spending a few minutes, Levi and others, led by Whirlwind Fury, headed to the central area of the forest.
Looking along the way, the buildings on both sides are quite similar to the elves' style. They are all slender, exquisite, yet powerful .
It wasn't until they came to a magnificent palace made entirely of crystal that soared into the sky that they knew they had arrived.
But what surprised them even more was that an elf woman with long golden hair and a rainbow-like dress, and an extremely handsome elf man wearing a night blue rune robe, were already waiting there.
It was the Queen of Stars, Moville, and her current husband, Philinel.
Well, the reason why I say currently is because the Queen of Stars has existed since the beginning of the Star King's Court. Even many people and gods believe that she is the personification of the Star King's Court.
The members of the Five Lords of Gadin and the Seven Paragons of Subaru have changed many times, but there is only one Queen of Stars.
But ordinary Ai Ci Tian people do not have her strength and lifespan, and because of the accidental deaths caused by battles, she has to change her partner every once in a while.
At the same time, there might be as few as two and as many as more than a dozen, and she was popular with both men and women regardless of race.
She currently has two of them, this man who looks like an elf is one of them, and Whirlwind Fury is the other.
"Welcome, blessed one of Mount Heaven!"
"It is an honor for Levi to have the Queen come out to greet him personally!"
After a few polite words, the Queen of Stars led them into this extremely magnificent crystal palace.
Levi noticed that during this period, Wang Fu just watched them with a smile. Even Whirlwind Fury would occasionally interrupt, but Wang Fu remained silent.
I don’t know if it’s just his personality, or if Wang Fu’s status is lower, or if it’s both?
This kind of situation, which is similar to marrying into the wife's family, will inevitably make people feel inferior.
So after noticing this situation, Levi maintained enough respect for Wang Fu.
People with low self-esteem tend to be more sensitive in certain aspects, so there is no need to cause any unnecessary trouble in the other person's territory.
As soon as he stepped over the threshold, Levi seemed to have come to another world. All kinds of noise were so real that they seemed to be breaking through the crystal palace.
Looking around, in the hall covering tens of thousands of square meters, various members of the Aicitian tribe were happily enjoying food, music, dancing, etc.
Even the arrival of the Queen of Stars did not have any impact on them. Only some beings closest to the door looked at Levi and others with a little curiosity, but did not say anything.
It looked like not only had they been going on this party for quite some time, but the Queen of Stars was probably a regular there, too.
"How about it, Levi, how about our Ai Ci Tian tribe's carnival party?" Whirlwind Fury said proudly.
What else could Levi say? Of course he could only give a few compliments.
Whether it is a waste of life and time is not discussed here, but at least in terms of boosting morale, they do have some merits.
Because Levi soon saw that at the end of the hall , there were an exaggerated number of small rooms. From time to time, pairs of men and women who had eaten and drunk their fill would walk into one of the rooms hugging each other. Even a fool would know what they were going to do.
After this kind of revelry, I think they would not have much regrets even if they were asked to rush to the battlefield immediately.
"Haha, Levi, if you like it here, how about staying here forever?"
"Believe me, with the Queen's protection, you will gain something more precious than the blessing of Mount Heaven. No matter the Four Chaos Gods or other evil gods, they will not be able to threaten you."
After listening to Whirlwind Fury's words, Levi finally understood that she was just acting as a mouthpiece, saying what the Queen of Stars wanted to say.
In this way, even if she is rejected, it will not damage the reputation of the Queen of Stars.
But of course Levi could not agree to the other party. He was not that superficial. If he really stayed here, no matter how much power he gained here, even if he was comparable to a true god in the Star King's Court, he could only remain at the legendary level in essence.
The three major celestial clans have been blessed by three kind planes respectively, but the price is that they can never take the last step and truly improve the essence of their lives.
And as long as you want, Lilith can help you ascend to godhood at any time!
What's more, the Queen of Stars' idea is a little too beautiful.
The four Chaos Gods were born from emotions, and even Zeus and Bastet just now were inevitably influenced or attracted by Slaanesh.
If Slaanesh's power grows to a certain level, can these ordinary Aesirs really survive?
Debauchery and revelry are also the power of Slaanesh.
If we exaggerate a little more, and the Four Chaos Gods completely won the victory and killed all the gods, where could the Star King's Court hide?
Although the latter is basically impossible, from the moment the battle begins, escape is destined to be the least desirable option!
So Levi politely declined the other party, saying only that he also wanted to stay in this happy place, but he could not let down the blessing of Mount Heaven, nor could he let down the expectations of Lilith and other gods.
Whirlwind Fury felt a little regretful, but did not try to persuade him any further.
There was no obvious change in the Queen of Stars' expression, but she never mentioned the purpose of her invitation to Levi. She only asked Levi to enjoy the food here first and she would take her leave and change her clothes.
This time Levi did not refuse. He had never seen many of the foods on the scene before. They were probably all specialties of the Star King's Court. He had finally come here, so he might as well not waste the opportunity.
So he led everyone to really get into it and started eating and drinking.
He soon discovered that the chefs here were very good and the ingredients were excellent. What was even more rare was that in addition to satisfying his appetite, these foods could also provide him with multiple abilities in a short period of time.
Some are fixed values, and some are percentages. Although there are not many individual items and there are upper limits, when combined together, it is entirely possible for conventional level 4 troops to defeat level 5 troops, which is not easy.
If he could do business with the Ai Ci Tian clan, this aspect alone would be enough for Levi to make a fortune.
Moreover, these are consumables, and the ingredients are exclusively supplied, so this kind of transaction will surely continue in a long-term and stable manner.
I just don't know whether the Aicitian tribe would agree to it. After all, gold coins are of little use to them.
Some of the top metal mages are entirely capable of permanently transforming ordinary lead and mercury into gold. Given the background of the Ai Ci Tian clan, such a thing must exist.
Shaking his head slightly, Levi decided to continue enjoying the food, because he didn't know what kind of requests the Queen of Stars would make later, or what the final result would be of the communication between the two sides. For now, he could only take it one step at a time.
During this process, many members of the Aicitian Clan showed great interest in Levi, Wange and others, and even big loli like Cindy.
But when they looked at the Whirlwind Fury over there again, they all rationally kept their distance, not daring to disturb it, and even watched their sights, not even looking at it for even a second.
Because even if they didn't see the queen at first, they should have understood by now that real fools are not qualified to enjoy the carnival in the queen's palace.
The queen may seem kind, but she is still the one and only queen after all, and her guests are not someone she can just casually strike up a conversation with.
As they ate, Elegy and Donna could not help but quietly approached and winked at Levi: "Levi, I don't believe you didn't see her true meaning."
"That's right, she has a great figure, just the type you like best."
"Besides, their status and position are very high. Would it be extra exciting to conquer them?"
Levi rolled his eyes: "Do I look so superficial? And I didn't tell any lies just now. Everything came from my heart."
With his current status and strength, as long as he wanted, he could just wave his hand and there would be plenty of women coming to him, but he only had the two of them, and essentially his desire in this regard was not that strong.
If there is no emotional basis, how different is it from an inflatable doll? It's just more realistic!
Wange chuckled, and subconsciously she wanted to complain, "Is it because your kidneys don't support it?"
However, if this kind of talk is said in private, it can be regarded as a bad taste between lovers, but it is stupid to say it in this kind of occasion. Who knows how many people are eavesdropping at the scene with their ears perked up?
In contrast, Donna was more serious: "I just want to tell you that as long as you want, we will never stop you. For gods, having dozens of lovers is also a very normal thing."
When the gods' faith was not as perfect as it is now, they tried many methods to make mortals remain loyal to them.
One of the methods is to come down to earth in person, give birth to a large number of descendants, and have them rule a country.
If everyone from the king, generals, temple priests to leaders in other industries are sons or daughters of God, then the country will naturally be extremely loyal to God.
The Egyptian pantheon, the Chinese pantheon, the Nebon pantheon, etc., have all taken similar measures to a greater or lesser extent.
Similar situations also occur with some hedonistic gods, such as Bastet.
It is not only to satisfy one's own instinctive desires, but also to better understand the priesthood, domain, etc.
Of course, Zeus is an exception, as he does not discriminate based on race; it is purely a personal hobby.
Levi waved his hand, indicating that he understood, but this kind of thing cannot be forced.
So Wange and Donna stopped talking nonsense. They both knew that Levi would always have his own judgment on key matters. They just expressed their attitudes.
But no matter what choice Levi makes in the end, they will support and follow him without hesitation.
When they were half full, the king's wife, Philinel, took the initiative to walk towards Levi and whispered, "Levi, do you know what you just missed? An opportunity to become the king's wife."
"If you want, there's still time. The Fountain of Beauty, the delicious food here, and almost the entire Aesir tribe will be yours. I can even do things for you."
To be honest, Levi's looks and charm are not the best among the ordinary Ai Ci Tian people who have outstanding looks.
His strength and talent are also very good, but for the Queen, that should be it.
Apart from his identity as a celestial mystic, the prince's husband, Philinel, did not know why the queen treated Levi so differently, but since it was the queen's wish, he certainly hoped that it could be realized, even if it might divide some of the queen's love for him.
But Levi just smiled and declined: "Thank you for your kindness, Queen. I am very interested in all of these, but I still hope to venture into the outside world."
It’s not that Levi has any mysophobia. Even if he does, the face and figure of the Queen of Stars are enough to make him forget all that.
He just felt that if the two sides could truly cooperate, it would not only be beneficial to himself, and there was no need to make himself look like a prostitute.
As for the matter I promised Sigma, I'll have to find a chance to talk about it later.
Besides, Sigma didn't really have to visit all three places. If he could fully understand what he wanted in Mount Paradise, the rest would be just icing on the cake.
It is good to have, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t have it.
Seeing that Levi was very determined, the king's wife, Philinel, felt regretful but did not try to persuade him any further.
After a while, Levi and the others had almost finished eating, and the Queen of Stars, dressed in a gorgeous outfit, appeared again.
Compared to her previous approachable appearance, she now always looks like a swan, with her head held high and a frivolous and arrogant smile on her face. Perhaps this is her true face.
But her attitude towards Levi did not change at all, and she still made sure he ate and drank well.
But eating and drinking for free was not the purpose of Levi's trip. After relaxing a little, Levi formally stated his purpose.
He wanted to obtain the Star Queen's knowledge of light and the power of faith of the Aesir people.
It is not the faith of the Aicitian people in Levi, but the faith of all living things in them.
In the beginning, many ignorant mortals could not accurately distinguish the differences between gods, angels, and the three major celestial races.
It was not until later when the gods attached more importance to faith and the way of spreading faith gradually got on the right track that this situation became less and less common.
But despite this, after countless years of accumulation, even if there will be a lot of consumption, there must still be considerable power of faith somewhere in the Star King's Court.
Even though the power of faith is extremely complex and requires a lot of time to purify and cleanse, if Levi can obtain them, perhaps he can easily overcome the initial difficult stage.
For God, the higher his divinity and the stronger his power, the more support he can give to his priests. The church and the power of faith will be easier to develop, and his strength will be easier to improve. This is a positive cycle.
But if he was penniless, even with Lilith's protection, Levi didn't know how many years it would take to improve his divinity to the point where he could truly help Lilith.
So the proud Illidan chose to serve Moonbow and became the patron saint of the night elves.
The equally proud Dragon Prince, Imrik, chose to become Lilith's servant.
It's not just to repay the favor, but also because it will allow them to develop better, which is a win-win situation for both parties.
Hearing this, the Queen of Stars' expression changed, and then she said with a half-smile: "It seems that the Messenger of Mercy and others have told you a lot. This is a secret that even the gods don't know."
She went to great lengths to keep this secret, on the one hand because she also wanted to become a deity through it in the first place, and on the other hand it was to avoid getting into trouble.
Because once the outside world finds out, those gods who tend to be light-oriented and whose attributes are more in line with his will will definitely come to bother him every day.
There are so many gods, and giving it to someone, not giving it to someone, giving more or less to someone will cause all kinds of trouble.
But unexpectedly, the Messenger of Mercy revealed such a secret to Levi.
Of course, the Yakongtian Clan and the Gedingtian Clan also have everything that the Star Royal Court has, and perhaps even more.
Because the Aithornians from the chaotic good camp, while saving those mortals, are likely to cause certain additional damage to the surrounding environment due to their casualness.
If it were the Gaiding Clan, they would try their best to avoid such things.
If it is a Sub-Sky Clan, they will not only try their best to avoid it, but also try to help the opponent repair other damage during the battle.
Those mortals are not completely stupid. In this situation, although both are about saving people, the latter two will definitely gain more power of faith.
Well, some fools who are captivated by the beauty of the Celestials may not be able to calculate completely according to this rule. After all, love always makes people blind.
Levi just smiled, which was another reason why he had the courage to reject the other party.
Even if he was disappointed with the Ai Ci Celestial Clan, there was a high chance that the other two Celestial Clans would not reject his proposal.
Because there is a certain conflict between the Ai Ci Tian tribe's camp and his own, the other two Tian tribes are more compatible with his own.
The Queen of Stars subconsciously wanted to refuse. You don't even give me face, and you still want my treasure? Even if I can't use those broken things, I can't give them to you!
But before she actually opened her mouth, an idea suddenly occurred to her and she became instantly excited.
If she leaves Levi here now, she might get a legendary celestial mystic, but if Levi can be deified, she might get more!
So she changed her words in time: "I can promise you, but you have to agree to one condition of mine."
"Under the condition that it does not endanger your life or damage your power, and it is also within your ability, you must help me once."
Seeing that Levi seemed a little hesitant, she quickly continued to add: "Don't worry, I will ask you to fulfill your promise after you are officially deified. If you are still not satisfied by then, we can discuss and change to other conditions."
After hearing this, Levi was not surprised, but Whirlwind Fury was a little confused. Wasn't the queen too generous?
But before she could open her mouth, the Queen of Stars gave her a light look, and she instantly swallowed her words.
As the Queen's partner, she needs to consider the pros and cons for the Queen, but if the Queen insists, then of course she will only choose to support her.
It was the prince next to him who had the same idea. He vaguely guessed the truth and had to admit that the queen was indeed smart enough!
Levi also had some vague guesses, and at the same time he felt a little headache.
After all, you are the master of a world and the Queen of Stars. Can't you think about something else besides that kind of thing?
But now that things have come to this, if Levi still doesn't agree, it would almost be equivalent to a complete break between the two sides, and there would be no chance of any cooperation in the future.
Levi could only comfort himself that originally he was supposed to marry into the family for life, but now it might just be a transaction and he was just playing with someone else's wife. This was an essential difference.
Thinking of this, he immediately felt much better.
So Levi also smiled and agreed to the other party: "Okay, thank you very much, Queen!"
Seeing that Levi agreed, the Queen of Stars did not hesitate and quickly handed over several memory crystals that recorded her knowledge of light, kindness, and holiness.
Since the Queen of Stars is not a god, Levi also needs to summarize, conclude and extract these memories by himself, just like he will do with the memories of Nagash.
The disadvantage is that this may take Levi a long time, but the advantage is that if he really goes through this whole process, his understanding of this knowledge will definitely be very high, and they will truly belong to him.
Then, all the materials for three space rings, plus 20 units of "Fountain of Beauty" water, were given to Levi.
Seeing that most of the ingredients were the dishes he had eaten a lot before, Levi knew that perhaps the other party had been paying attention to him from beginning to end, including the so-called changing of clothes period.
However, compared with the other party's promise, he didn't care much about this little thing, and this time the Queen of Stars was really generous, so he just thanked her again, and then returned to Fear Rock in the Queen of Stars' slightly reluctant eyes.
The Yakongtian tribe specifically asked me to go before the canonization of gods, and there are people like the Messenger of Mercy and the Messenger who have a very good relationship with me, so I can go last.
Next, let’s contact the Gaiding Clan and see what their attitude is!
