Chapter 21 The Blessing of the Ocean Goddess

Outside the Ocean Temple.

Sauron stood in front of the main hall and waited silently. Adele-Isabel was arranged by him to go to the tavern. The next plan needed some help, otherwise the two of them would not be able to even start the boat. Priest Naga entered the temple after returning, even the temple guards were ordered to stay outside, no one knew what she was doing on the ground. Sauron was naturally not qualified to go in, and he didn't want to know too many secrets about the sea goddess, because the more he knew, the more involved he would be.

That's how extinction happens.

Time passed bit by bit, and the divine power gathered around the Ocean Temple suddenly shook. It was a very obvious sense of shock, and the divine power around the temple surged like a tide. In this world, believers provide the power of faith to the gods, and then the gods transform the power of faith into divine power. Not all of these divine powers are controlled by the gods, and they need to be fed back to the believers, and most of them will remain in the temple. So any temple with priests and abbots will have divine power aura, otherwise it is an abandoned temple.

The divine power will gradually decrease and dissipate.

If the presiding priest is changed or the strength is very low, or the number of believers decreases, the divine power above will decrease little by little, and eventually the divine power and aura on the temple will be reduced by one or two levels. Raising the level of the temple requires not only a large enough scale, but also a corresponding number of believers and influence in the surrounding areas. There are a large number of temples scattered in this world, but more than 90% of them belong to the level of temples. Not many can reach the level of temples, and most of them are inside cities.

The number of great temples is even less!

Such a large temple is equivalent to half a wizard's tower. After activating the divine power protection, there is no way to destroy it with a meteor burst.

Amber City is a typical example.

If it weren't for the temple to have such a strong deterrent force. The struggle among the gods will be more intense, because many evil gods can't wait to wash away the lairs of worshipers of hostile gods at all times. If the temple in front of us was attacked head-on, it would be impossible to take it down without a regular army. Even if it was taken down, the casualties would be more than 50%.

Divine power began to gather gradually. It seems that some unpredictable changes have taken place in the Ocean Temple!

Sauron couldn't understand this change, because he knew little about divine power and magic, and he didn't have enough knowledge to judge it. But he could feel that change, and even noticed that this change was spreading towards the underground seawater under the Ocean Temple. It seemed to be an invisible energy fluctuation that enveloped the entire Port of Tyro. Sauron was not the only one who felt this change. All the guards in front of the temple knelt down on the ground and began to pray devoutly. Other believers in Tairo Port also began to pray, and the invisible wave of prayer turned into a powerful force of faith, making the Ocean Temple emit a dazzling brilliance that is invisible to the naked eye.

This process lasted quite a while.

It also attracted the attention of many forces. The power of the temple seems to be gathering, and there is a faint sign of a breakthrough. If the Ocean Temple advances to become the Great Temple, there will be an incarnation of the Ocean Goddess at that time. This is a process of blessing from the gods. Every temple will appear when it is upgraded. The first temple has the consciousness of the gods to give aura, and then the gods will give power to the temple after promotion. The most iconic of them is the statue. The consciousness brand of the gods remains. Believers can be perceived by the gods when they pray.

Now there should be no incarnation descending.

All the gods are busy resisting the energy storm, but the ocean temple in front of them has indeed been upgraded, and it is estimated that it has become one of the few great temples in the coastal area.

Many believers of the sea goddess began to gather here.

The figure of the Naga priest came out slowly. He didn't know if it was Sauron's illusion. He actually felt that the Naga priest in front of him had a bit of divine aura. This aura was a bit like the chosen one of the sea goddess, but There is still a big gap. It seems that after offering sacrifices, she received a reward from the gods, and the gods' gifts to believers are an important part of strengthening faith.

The other party stood on the high platform in front of the temple, watching the believers gathered in front of him. Then he turned his attention to Sauron. Slowly said: "Humans. Come in with me."

Sauron bent slightly and walked into the hall.

"You're doing well."

The Naga priest stood in front of the statue, holding the scepter representing the priest of the sea in his hand, and said in a strange and solemn tone: "You punished those who betrayed their faith. You told them the price of disobeying the goddess with blood and death." .You also proved your loyalty, you offered the goddess what she wanted."

"You deserve a reward!"

Priest Naga walked slowly in front of Sauron. Then he raised his palm and said, "Kneel down."

Sauron's expression didn't show hesitation, he just hesitated for a moment, and then he knelt down on one knee in front of the statue of the sea goddess. He had actually gone through this step several times, because this is the real blessing ceremony of the gods. To obtain the blessings of the gods, you must first express your humility and respect, and prove your worth, and then you can receive the blessings of the gods. The gods are not noble givers. The blessing of the goddess of fortune was an accident, and the mysterious woman seemed as unpredictable as the goddess of fortune.

Priests of the gods have a similarity to the gods, and priests of the goddess of fortune and fortune are capricious people who do as they please.

"very good."

The Naga priest put his hand on Sauron's forehead, and said in a low voice: "Human. You have proved your worth, and you have used your strength and reputation to safeguard the majesty and interests of the sea goddess. This is a kind of praiseworthy." behavior, so you are eligible to receive the gift of the sea goddess."

The scepter was gently placed on Sauron's shoulder.

Immediately, the Naga priest leaned over and kissed Sauron on the forehead, and said in a strange ocean language: "On behalf of the goddess of the sea, I bless you! You will not be attacked by sea monsters in the sea! You will be attacked by sea monsters." Blessings of the Goddess! The sea is your home! Waves and storms will be far from you and your servants!"

"You will become the patron of the goddess of the sea!... You can use the power of the goddess to control the creatures in the sea!..."

One after another divine power began to gather.

The blessed radiance visible to the naked eye emerged, Sauron's body seemed to be shrouded in a blue light, and the statue of the goddess of the sea seemed to have opened its eyes vaguely. A line of sight fell on Sauron, and then gradually disappeared. This is the power of the gods. From now on, Sauron will be the patron and blessing of the goddess of the ocean, as long as he does not actively attack marine species. The vast majority of marine intelligent creatures, including Naga, sharkmen, pirate murlocs, etc., will not actively attack Sauron and his companions.

And he can also communicate and trade with these sea creatures, because the goddess of the sea gave him the blessing. His identity is equivalent to the priest of the Ocean Church.

This was a reward that was hard to refuse, especially since Sauron was still planning to develop in the overseas islands.

The brilliance of divine power gradually dissipated.

A row of data appeared in front of Sauron's eyes, and he had an extra background specialty:

"Gift of the Ocean Goddess [Special Expertise]: You have obtained the gift of the Ocean Goddess through your actions. From now on, you will greatly reduce the chance of encountering danger in the ocean, whether it is a storm, a huge wave, a vortex, or All kinds of fierce and dangerous sea creatures will not easily attack you because of the blessing of the sea goddess. You or your fleet will be blessed by the sea goddess when sailing in the sea, and you will get the same belief as other creatures who believe in the sea goddess Exchange trade opportunities.

from now on. Most sea creatures, including sea monsters, will regard you as neutral. And under the blessing of the sea goddess, you have gained a spell-like ability that can be used to dominate other creatures in the ocean. "

This is the most basic blessing to come.

The blessing of the sea goddess will not increase the attribute ability much, but it is equivalent to adding a talisman on the sea.

Also, it rewards an additional spell-like ability.

"Dominate marine life [spell-like ability]: You have the blessing of the sea goddess, which belongs to the patron she is looking at, which allows you to mobilize a special power. You will be able to dominate most of the sea life. This type The effect of the spell ability is equivalent to [Charm Sea Creatures]. The highest level of dominating ordinary sea creatures cannot exceed your occupational level, and the highest level of dominating sea monsters cannot exceed half of your occupational level. The difficulty of this spell's immunity is related to your charm ."【Once a day. 】

This is a special spell-like ability.

It is equivalent to the "charm sea creature" of the side door, but the spell effect of the control is stronger, better than the charm effect of the sharkman.

It has a saving throw difficulty check, which is based on Charisma.

The highest level of dominating ordinary sea creatures cannot exceed Sauron's level, and the highest level of dominating special sea monsters cannot exceed half of Sauron's level.

This is the power of the sea goddess.

Because the 'charming sea creatures' cannot control sea monsters, at most they can control sharks, whales, and large octopuses.

The blessing ceremony is complete.

The Naga priest gave Sauron a meaningful look, and said slowly: "Humans. Keep in awe of the Ocean Goddess in your heart. She will not be stingy with rewards for you. When you decide to give your faith to the Ocean Goddess. She will give you more gifts."

This is naked solicitation.

The main believers of the goddess of the sea are concentrated in marine life and coastal areas, and the value of a quasi-legendary wanderer is still amazing.

After all, rogues are proficient in more methods than other professionals.

Sauron leaned over slightly, and kissed the back of the Naga priest's hand, expressing his humility. Because she represents the goddess of the sea at this moment, he said: "I am in awe of the power of the goddess. I am grateful for her generosity. When the goddess needs it, I am willing to dedicate my power to her."

This is not the language of delivery of faith.

The meaning is a bit similar to Ke Qing, more like a relationship of hiring and being hired, and many temples have such members.

There was a slight dissatisfaction on Priest Naga's face, and then it turned into a smile, and said slowly: "Very good. I hope you remember today's oath. When the sea goddess needs you, you will dedicate your strength to the goddess. Otherwise The goddess will take back her gift."

The blessings of the gods are not so easy to get!

Sauron knew this a long time ago, otherwise he would not have lost the blessing of the Spider God Queen.

but.

Since it is available now, it is natural to make good use of it.

No one knows what will happen in the future. If something really happens, the most he can do is turn his face and deny it. The turbulent era is coming soon, and he doesn't believe that the sea goddess will be so boring as to chase him down because of such a trivial matter. As for ordinary tasks, Sauron will not be too repulsive. Anyway, he can't develop overseas without the help of the church. With the church of the ocean behind him, he has such a golden thigh, so even if he gets into a fight with the church of storms, he will be fine. .

After all, the Goddess of the Sea is also a powerful divine power!

With her support, Sauron has directly penetrated into the interior of all sea creatures. He doesn't even need special prestige recognition tasks, so he can coexist peacefully with these sea creatures, and he can get help from them when necessary. Trade to get rich. The most important thing in this world is power. If it weren't for his quasi-legendary strength, the Naga priests would not spend such a high price to win him over.

Now.

The most important thing is to use this opportunity to accumulate more strength.
