"I see. Since you chose me, I will also give you the corresponding reward."
Milo nodded, thought for a while, then gently moved the beads in his hand, the stars rotated, and the runes rotated one by one.
In the end, Milo's mana was concentrated on a special rune, which meant to copy.
Climbing means ascending, copying means taking a shortcut.
The seventy-two techniques of earth evil are manifested as speeding up things or expanding the influence on the original basis, such as making the flames burn more intensely and the water flow becoming more rapid. Internally, it can have an effect similar to Buddhist initiation. High-ranking monks impart their own insights to high-ranking monks to help them make further progress.
Looking at the orb, Ji Luo only felt that his power seemed to be a little active, and there was a vague possibility of going further. He quickly mobilized his blood and mana to try to break through to a higher level.
Also taking this opportunity, Milo also completely understood Jiluo's profession - a business bluffer.
This is a special advanced profession based on the thief profession variant Bluff, combined with the abilities of some businessmen and smugglers.
Compared with pure bluffers, commercial bluffers are not only masters of lies and deception, but also have the power to create simple opportunities, carefully plan scams, and even sway the masses. They are also more knowledgeable about human nature and know how to deal with others tactfully. Interaction can help you avoid losses more flexibly when dealing with inspections or other similar activities.
At the same time, compared to pure bluffers, commercial bluffers are not weak in melee combat capabilities. Combined with some deceptive methods and magic props, they can be considered a relatively powerful profession among the advanced professions corresponding to the Paragon Way.
It can be said that it is not a wrong choice to let Ji Luo, who has such a career, conduct business transactions.
But the Gerd family made a mistake in letting him go to Hanxia.
Not to mention the cultural differences between the two sides, which made it more difficult to deceive, the many gods patrolling the customs department and the blessings left by several true monarchs determined the rigor of Hanxia Customs.
Not to mention Ji Luo, even if a demigod from the Southern Islands who is proficient in illusions and illusions goes to Hanxia, the chance of failure is 99%, and his magical powers will be reduced by at least half once he enters Hanxia.
'However, from a certain perspective, the professions of Dengchao and Jiluo are quite suitable. '
Even if such thoughts flashed through his mind, Milo steadily helped him move further on the original basis, barely touching the threshold of legend.
Feeling the increase in his strength and receiving some spell-like enhancements, Jiluo was a little excited. He knelt on the ground to express his surrender.
Milo raised his hand to ask him to step back.
The obedient Ji Luo returned to his room. In the days that followed, he treated Milo with all his heart and soul.
When the ghost ship approached Emma Rhodes Island, Jiluo was waiting outside the painting realm early.
Walking onto the deck, Milo raised his head and glanced in the direction of Airma Rhodes Island. The sky-high desire was hard to ignore.
"That is?"
Ji Luo looked at it, counted the time, showed a look of surprise, and said for Milo: "That is to worship the god of agriculture and the sun. In the three kingdoms of Gael, Normandy and Hibernian, this time comes every year , we all hold the Saturnalia, offering sacrifices to the Lord of the mountains and forests, who is in charge of fertility, and praying for stable order and good weather in the coming year. The day after the Saturnalia is a festival to worship the sun, because the two festivals are closely linked. Taken together, the sacrificial scene is usually very grand.”
After finishing speaking, Jiluo half-jokingly said: "It's strange to say that this festival corresponds to the Yanghua Festival of the supreme god believed in in the Western continent. It is said to be a festival to worship their Lord who gives life and vitality to the world."
"Is there such a thing?"
The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.
Milo, who had long understood that many places in his world were connected to many information in Taixuanhuan, vaguely guessed what this so-called Yanghua Festival was, and he casually guided Jiluo to talk more in this regard.
Seeing Milo's interest, Ji Luo naturally told him everything he knew.
"Although Saturnalia is nominally a festival belonging to the Lord of the Mountains and Forests, it is relatively long, lasting about seven days. Therefore, we will include the other two great Dru Yin in the sacrifice. After all, the Lord of Emerald is in charge of A powerful god of life and nature, all living things like us are dependent on his power. The Lord of the Wild is an ancient semi-sacred person like the Lord of the Mountains and Forests, although most of the time he is regarded as the god of beasts, hunting and revenge. , but he also controls the power of the morning sun and the crescent moon. In many places, he is the object of sacrifice for the sun after Saturnalia."
"As for the Yanghua Festival from the Western Continent, the object of sacrifice is a bit strange. According to the information collected by my family, this festival was originally a sacrifice to the Supreme God of the West, but in the past five hundred years, the Western Continent has also begun to On this day, pray to a certain demigod. According to legend, my family believes that this saint should be in charge of the realm of gifts, blessings, kindness and family, and is a person who has been exploring the realm of demigods for a long time. A powerful saint, because his power can appear on a small scale in the Kingdom of Rugosa."
"Are you sure it's the saint's own power?"
Hearing the last sentence, Milo was also a little surprised. As the person in charge of the names of many gods, he had served as the Shinto Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor in Taixuan Realm. He knew very well that the power of Shinto also had limitations.
Even though many fifth-level gods in Hanxia can influence believers in other regions across the country and even across the state, they rely on the help of the palaces of gods.
In fact, as far as Hanxia Shinto is concerned, the scope of authority and power that the fifth-grade gods roughly correspond to the Dharma realm can really cover is probably one mansion, or at most two standard mansions. If you want to rely on your own strength To expand outward, one must be promoted to a fourth-grade god.
By the same token, the area that fourth-grade gods can cover is only about one-third to two-thirds of the state. The error here is largely due to the fact that the territorial size of different states is also different.
The limit of the third level is probably one state, and some individuals may be able to affect the territory of about two small states. The second level is the territory of three to six states. Only the first level can fully cover the land of Hanxia.
According to the power comparison between Hanxia and the Southern Islands, the fifth-grade gods are roughly equivalent to true legends who possess divinity and have a certain degree of clergy in the field they control. The fourth-grade gods are roughly high-level legends, and only the third-grade gods enter the status of semi-sacred. It can be regarded as a deity in the popular sense of the Southern Islands.
The second and first grades, like the third grade, are still in the realm of immortality, refining gods and returning to the void. In the Southern Islands, they are the first class of semi-saints.
It can be seen from this that the limit of the demigod level is about the size of a continent.
If you want to cross the ocean and influence believers on other continents, even if there is a god statue as an anchor, it must be at the level of a first-class god if placed in Hanxia.
Ji Luo nodded, and Milo couldn't help but fell silent slightly. After setting up the barrier, he asked again: "Then, has your family ever speculated on who is more powerful compared to the power of this saint and the Lord of the Mountains and Forests and the Lord of the Wild? "
"Although the mainstream within the family is that the Lord of the Mountain and the Wild is more powerful, some people think that the Lord of the Wild is not much different from the Saint, and a very few people think that the Saint is better than the Lord of the Wild. The master is not much different."
When Ji Luo said this, he used his words very carefully, and Milo didn't ask too much about it. At this time, the ghost ship happened to be very close to the shore, so he took Ji Luo to say goodbye to the captain of the ghost ship, holding him with one hand. , took one step forward, and walked directly into the interior of Airma Rhodes Island.
During this time, the soles of Milo's shoes did not touch the slightest bit of sea water. Before he could step down, there was water spray rising up, turning into the shadow of a lotus and carrying him into the forest.
Wherever it passed, the lush vegetation became more active, many unripe fruits ripened instantly, and many flowers ready to bloom bloomed one after another. The rich fruity and floral fragrance made the surrounding residents gasp in surprise. call.
When Milo put Ji Luo down, some farmers who were holding sacrificial ceremonies gathered around and bowed to Milo. Wisps of wishes gathered around Milo as the farmers bowed. Slowly strengthening the power of the oath he had previously gained from making an oath with the White Swan Viscount.
Somewhere in the dark, Milo felt that his power was connected with the island, and at the same time he was slightly involved with a certain high-ranking being. There was a dull light in his eyes, and he picked off a branch. Introduce the power of the wish into it, spread it gently, and turn it into blessings falling on the surrounding farmers.
Come and try it quickly. 】
The farmer felt the physical comfort and praised Milo even more highly. Ji Luo immediately stepped forward, expressed his identity and explained Milo's identity, helping Milo consolidate his initial prestige.
Milo himself was playing with the branches and looking at a crow not far away.
"It's good that you're being very cautious."
A voice rang in Milo's ears, and the next second an illusory figure was reflected in the crow's hole, pulling Milo into a wonderful spiritual realm.
This spiritual realm is full of ancient, wild and predatory atmosphere. Looking around, you can see that it is surrounded by mountains with natural walls, hundreds of feet high, slippery and steep, and more dangerous than other thousands of feet high mountains.
In this valley, there are dense rivers with complex water systems, and many towering trees grow. Countless poisonous snakes and beasts live in the huge forest, and the sounds of birds and beasts are constantly heard. Milo looked around and immediately noticed the wisps of miasma smoke gathering together. It was the turbid evil spirit accumulated from dead branches and dead leaves and animal carcasses that had accumulated for countless years.
But if you look closely, you will find that there is a wisp of evil spirit and a deep-rooted yin energy hidden inside this place.
The former should be the remains of chaotic demonic energy contaminated by the influence of the environment, while the latter is caused by the incompleteness of the spiritual realm and the lack of perfect Yang. Similar problems have occurred in the past in Miao Youjing, and naturally they cannot be hidden from Milo's eyes.
Naturally, the figure of the other party could not escape from Milo's eyes. He looked to one side and asked, "Who is your Excellency?"
"Your abilities are much more powerful than I imagined."
With the sound of boots stepping on dead branches and leaves, a figure appeared in front of Milo.
He has a strong build. He wears a black vest over a white stenciled scarf and shirt. He also wears a tight-fitting wide-sleeved aristocratic dress with red stripes on a black background. At the bottom of his tight white trousers are a pair of dark knight's boots. The boots, the single-breasted coat with gold buttons draped over his shoulders, the pure black gilt belt buckled around his waist, and the knight's sword hanging from his waist made him look like a noble.
But the greasy black curly long hair, pale face and scarlet eyes gave his temperament and segmentation a twisted sense of fragmentation.
The unique shape made Miroku shrink slightly, but the next second he saw that the man in front of him was not the captain of the pirate ship, and he whispered: "Who are you?"
"I am Thainrod, a monk in the Emerald Wonderland. Of course, you can also call me Hanxia's name, Daoqing."
As he spoke, Dao Qing, who maintained his captain's appearance, bowed slightly and said, "Welcome to my companion treasure, Shanhai."
"Are you Brother Hanxia?"
Milo didn't let down his guard just because the other party addressed himself. Although after being reminded by the other party, Milo found that the surrounding spiritual realm was somewhat similar to the companion treasure. But Milo knew better that the monks in the Southern Islands, after fulfilling their legendary destiny, created the precious phantoms based on their own legends, which also had properties and abilities similar to the accompanying treasures.
Therefore, meeting someone with similar abilities to the Companion Treasure in the Southern Islands does not mean that the person is a monk from Hanxia.
"I know you won't believe this, but what about these?"
Dao Qing stretched out his hand and grabbed some cards from the void. Each card was painted with some images of animals and plants. With a flick of his finger, phantoms such as Garuda, Six-tusked Elephant, Dapeng, etc. appeared. , every kind of strange beast has obvious traces of Han Xia on its body.
At the same time, Dao Qing also recited many Taoist scriptures and Buddhist scriptures in a low voice. The unique rhythm and the aura emanating from the chanting all showed a strong Hanxia style.
It's a pity that the version of the scripture chanted by the other party is too old.
"The version you read before was five thousand years ago. It has been modified because the corresponding gods changed two thousand years ago. This does not prove your identity." Milo's denial again did not make Dao Qing angry, and he continued Revealed and continued to be denied.
After repeating this seven times, Dao Qing's face didn't look good, and he said displeasedly: "I came here to see you specifically based on the concept of meeting old friends in a foreign land. I didn't expect you to be like this. It's really disappointing. Now Han Xia's Monk, is this all your virtue?"
"Tch, don't get close to me and have to go to this remote place. Who doesn't have his own secret? Besides, in the world we live in now, where chaos and demonic energy are entangled, and in the realm of Immortal Dao Tianyi, the life span is only a thousand years. Over the years, although the limit of life span can be pushed down to tens of thousands by relying on many life-extending methods, at that time in Hanxia, many methods involved Shinto. I don’t believe that you can live outside Hanxia without converting to Shinto. Lived over two thousand years.”
Hearing this, Dao Qing smiled and said: "My mind is very sharp, yes, yes, but can this prove my identity?"
As he spoke, a trace of faint lines appeared on Dao Qing's body, and three weak strands of wonderful energy emitted from it, namely the wonderful energy of Qinghua University for relieving misfortunes, the wonderful energy of suppressing prisons and cutting down difficulties, and the wonderful energy of Fufu cultivating the heart.
As he spoke, Dao Qing also resumed his Taoist appearance.
After seeing the three wonderful auras, Milo smiled, bowed slightly and said, "I've met my Taoist friend."
Dao Qing returned the gift, stretched out his hand and made a wooden table and chair appear, inviting Milo to sit down.
ps: As for the name, it is tentatively decided that when referring to a person's name and title, the name and pronoun are used together to facilitate everyone's memory (after all, some names require the help of notes). Then try to reduce pronouns for place names and kingdom names.
