"I see. Then the 24 old Feysacs you mentioned are the ones who master the characters, right?" Blaze had a bad prediction as soon as he finished speaking, and immediately added, "Just answer with yes or no, don't answer me with a smile."

Odin's smile was only halfway formed, but Blaze had already spoken, so he had to change his mind halfway and nodded with a kind and gentle smile.

"Yes, but I taught them personally in the past. But now the mysteries have been released, and they have transformed themselves into 24 mentors, waiting for those who want to explore the mysteries."

"Apart from the quantity, there's really no clue." Blaze complained a little. Occasionally he also wanted to feel the feeling of being fed.

"Don't complain. It took me a while to find out that runes only favor those who are still on their journey. People like me who have reached the end are no longer attractive to them."

Odin smiled and opened his palm towards Blaze.

"what do you mean."

"Give me some money so that I can fulfill my dream of opening a chain of fruit stands in the Giant Kingdom. If I do this, foreigners in the Giant Kingdom will have the opportunity to learn runes."

Those ancient beings all regarded money as dirt, but Odin was different. He liked gold and money from the beginning. It was natural for him to take the opportunity to ask Blaze for some money, and he also used the excuse of being a stranger.

Blazer's mouth twitched. This was the second time these old guys asked him for money. Last time, they asked him to pay enough to convince the ferryman, but this time, they asked him to pay to fulfill Odin's old age dream.

The ferryman didn't know how much he would have to pay that time, so he paid as much as he could. This time he roughly knew how much it would cost, but it was money he definitely couldn't afford.

But he couldn't let foreigners lose the right to receive education.

"How about you remember me first?"

"can."

Unexpectedly, Odin nodded readily.

"Your name can be exchanged for more money. This answer is the best answer for me." Odin closed the fruit stall neatly, as if today's revenue was enough and he was going to retire and go fishing.

"From now on, I can finally just do the fruit trading for show."

It's not just today's revenue, Odin has taken care of all future revenue.

"You old man..." Blazer sighed, feeling helpless about the old man's thick skin. He had to be careful and often inquire about how much Odin had borrowed in his name, so that he would not be in debt one day.

"You have taken such tangible benefits from me, so you should give me something tangible. Do you know where the geographical center of this world is?"

"This is another very interesting question. You are actually asking about the geographical center." A hint of surprise flashed across Odin's face, but it was quickly replaced by interest.

"Tell me about this in detail."

"..."

"So that's how it is. There are actually such magical props in this world, and there is also an underground world..." Odin covered his chin with his hands and opened his face, with a certain gloom between his brows pressed into the shadows.

"A complete mythological totem. This is not good news."

Chapter 524 People without Faith

The Age of Gods was not stable. There were constant internal wars among the mythological totems, and there were also many external frictions.

This is like a person who threatens with a stick cannot ignore other people holding sticks. The gods born from mythological totems cannot ignore gods with the same level of power. Power and rights should be unique, and so should faith.

[Unity] is an idea that arises naturally when strength and spirit rise to a certain level.

After a fire that truly transcends fate and burns all mythological totems to ashes, the survivors will use the ashes of the totems to outline the only unified myth...

Unfortunately, they did not wait for the opportunity to reunify, but instead were completely destroyed. Just as they had done and experienced before, new life was born from their corpses.

Odin didn't have too many regrets about this, he even had two explanations. The more advanced one was that if destruction was fate, then just accept it calmly. The more rogue one was that everyone was destroyed, no one won, so if you lose, then you lose.

But now tell him that there is a mythical totem of the underground world that has been preserved intact until now, and he can win without doing anything? Who can accept that!

"Let's quickly lead the stranger over!"

"What do you take strangers for?"

Odin was stunned by Blaze's question, and after a long time he answered with a strange expression.

"Of course they are a group of people who want to kill gods when there are gods, and they are monsters when there are no monsters, monsters in the grass-growing period."

What Odin said was really...not wrong at all, and Blaze didn't know how to refute it.

There was once a hellish joke about the Holy Cross Church's missionary work to foreigners. When faced with applications for membership from devout believers, the foreigners would sincerely ask where the God that the church believed in was.

Devout believers will say with all sincerity that God is in their hearts, while strangers will seriously ask whether this is a metaphor or whether God is really, physically in your heart.

The devout believers would smile gently and regard the stranger as an honest person. But the stranger just wanted to chop the god down and doubted whether the god lived in the heart of the devout believers.

The Holy Cross had protested against this joke from an official and political perspective, but as the number of foreigners within the Holy Cross increased, they stopped protesting.

The core of this hellish joke is that the strangers have no faith at all. In their eyes, God is just a moving treasure chest. Of course, the strangers are not completely without faith...

When they perform actions that have a chance of success such as strengthening items, which are collectively referred to as "drawing cards", they will show extremely firm faith, putting their hands together, kneeling on the ground and praying to the sky, and sometimes even showing a variety of sacrificial postures.

The most important thing is that no matter how unreliable the gods are when they draw cards, they will firmly throw themselves at them with all their strength again and again, as if as long as they have these gods, they dare to challenge even the almost impossible probability of 0.7%.

Odin's idea was very vicious, and he wanted to divert the trouble to the outsiders who wanted to compete with the gods all day long to destroy the mythical totems. There was no need to worry about whether the strangers were strong enough, because the strangers were a group of people who would become weaker as they got stronger.

"I say, we need the sun gods underground to complete the rotation of the world, how can we attack their hometown?"

"We are not the ones who took action. We are just bringing the strangers to their world in a friendly way. What if the humans over there are also destroyed by monsters and need help from strangers?" Odin seemed so righteous when he spoke, as if he was just a kind-hearted person who couldn't bear to see the suffering of humans.

But Blaze knew this guy's true face. This guy was greedy even for two copper coins, and he knew that if he said a few more words, Odin would start to use moral blackmail skillfully.

"How about I send you down there and let you save those suffering humans?"

"This..." Odin licked his lips awkwardly, indicating that he should give the opportunity to the young man and not waste his old energy.

"..."

Even though Blaze was wearing a helmet, Odin could still feel the piercing, contemptuous look in his eyes.

"Ahem, you know, old guys all have serious mental illnesses... Anyway, if you want an absolutely accurate center point, then you'd better find your teacher Tie Lueda. Isn't this guy proficient in something called mathematics? With his help, you will definitely be able to place the Eight-foot Water Mirror to the point where there is no error."

Blaze remained silent until Odin turned his head uncomfortably and began to sweat, then he spoke, ending the depressing silent torture.

"You who are both gods and kings have no conscience at all."

"Ate by a wolf." Odin spread his hands, and while Blaze was taking a breath, he ran away quickly, without even having time to close down the fruit stall.

"These old guys are really good at escaping."

Blazer put his hands on his hips and sighed helplessly. He thought about leaving immediately, but he couldn't just ignore the fruit stand, so he simply put up a sign that read [Free Pickup].

Apart from anything else, the fruits sold by Odin are very good recovery foods for novice strangers.

After putting up the sign, Blaze casually put a silver coin in, picked some fruits, and left refreshed.

Thus, the most bizarre trap in Balkan City was formed.

When the player passes by, the first thing he sees is a fruit stall without an owner and a sign that says "Free".

Based on the idea that free things are the most expensive and they must not miss out on free props, they immediately reached out to take it, but the moment they leaned over, they saw a silver coin on a tray.

First of all, the NPCs in "Godlock" are extremely active and complex, and the game itself has countless special experience points. An unattended fruit stall like this is likely to be some kind of moral test.

After the two hidden attributes of [Virtue Value] and [Vice Value] were clearly exposed, the significance of this unattended stall became obvious.

At this time, the sign erected next to it is very meaningful, because this is a free world, and there are basically no restrictions on players' behavior except for R18 sports, so [erecting a sign saying "There is no checkpoint" next to the level] [erecting a sign saying "There is no treasure here" in the cave with treasure] and so on are also allowed.

This sign must be the result of some players playing tricks on me!

The player who wanted to get something for free immediately put down the money generously, feeling proud of himself for having seen through some people's despicable tricks.

When Odin thought Blaze was almost gone, he came back and found that all the fruits were gone.

Before he could shout "How heartless! They even robbed the fruit stall", he found a pile of silver and copper coins.

This was his best business day in recent years, and all the sales were gone in less than half a day.

Chapter 525 Opposite Reputation

In the Piliwen Cave, in Chiron's observation room, Chiron patted his head and switched to a serious face.

"Replacing the dominance between the earth and the sun is no joking idea."

"It's a bit far-fetched, but it seems there is no other option."

Blazer was busy tapping on the various instruments in Chiron's observation room with his fingers. From time to time, he would look through the test tubes at the chickens or Chiron that were twisted into strange shapes, and chuckle.

"I don't want to say this is the only way, but I really can't think of any other way."

The absolute word "the only way" sometimes does not symbolize hope, but rather despair.

Helpless statements like "There is no other way", "This is the only means left", "There is no other choice" etc. will distort people and make them gradually forget their original intentions.

Blazer also wanted to find other methods, at least to get Plan BCD to make people feel at ease, but unfortunately he only found this one method.

"It's not that I think this won't succeed, it's just that the meaning behind this matter is huge." Chiron crossed his arms across his chest, and his body, which could be said to be the crystallization of the technology of the Age of Gods, perfectly displayed the muscle movement that only living creatures could have with metal.

"But I can't come up with a better solution to the problem of [Turning the World Upside Down]. Although the Age of Gods observed traces of [Turning the World Upside Down], they could only come up with the regrettable solution of escaping the world."

“This may be a dangerous gamble with an unknown outcome, but being able to start the gamble itself is already a great victory.”

As Chiron expressed his concern and support, the instrument calculating the top continent made a ding sound, reminding them that they had found the location.

When Chiron saw the displayed coordinates, his expression became strange.

"This is... a very delicate place. It's actually in the territory of the Holy Cross."

"The Holy Cross Theocracy... isn't surprising." Blaze wasn't overly surprised by the result.

There was a record in the Holy Cross that Theresa used the so-called "Exile to Hell" in her previous life, but it was actually the use of "Turning the World Upside Down". In this case, to ensure that you will not be affected, you must not be affected by "Turning the World Upside Down".

There is only a central area in such a location, so it is not surprising that the absolute center is also in the Holy Cross Kingdom.

"Well, you remember what you just said, the most important twelve beasts in the plan are placed on the trajectory of the sun... Look at this."

Chiron emitted two rays of light from his eyes, constructing an illusory three-dimensional pattern in the air, in which the sun was moving over the earth at a speed visible to the naked eye. A red line followed the sun, leaving a clearly visible track on the ground.

The twelve beasts are located at the turning point of the red line, and coincidentally, the twelve beasts are located at exactly the same position as the location where the Eight-foot Water Mirror is placed to create the water surface that divides the two suns.

"What a coincidence."

"This isn't a coincidence. This location was a sacrificial site during the Holy Cross Kingdom or the Supreme Holy Kingdom period, and it's almost like a holy place. Although it's abandoned now, it's still somewhat important in terms of political status, and you..."

Chiron spread his hands regretfully, and seeing that Blaze looked confused, he had no choice but to say helplessly.

"Do you know what your current identity is?"

"A famous person who is loved by foreigners!" Blaze immediately patted his chest proudly. Although he was often troubled by foreigners surrounding him, making it difficult for him to move, he couldn't help but smile every time.

"There are also titles like Chief of the Silver Knights of Arcadia, Heir of Asgard, and so on. These titles are highly prestigious in the Giant Kingdom, but in other countries, they become the exact opposite of disgust."

"what?"

This is a very delicate setting of reputation value in Godlock. It is not a simple number, but a worldly wisdom.

Among two forces that are hostile to each other or are in friction, if one of them frantically improves its reputation, the other side will naturally lower its reputation.

After all, reputation unlocks more services and benefits, while also standing firm. However, sabotaging the enemy's sphere of influence does not improve reputation within one's own sphere of influence, which is also a way to limit the morality of players.

But some players also complained that this was a rubbish and liver-forcing setting ripped from the infamous Guiding Lands in Monster Hunter: World, but it became reasonable here and it was a little hard to accept.

"For the Holy Cross Theocracy, you, who have made outstanding contributions to the Giant Kingdom, should be quite a headache for them."

"I never have any ill feelings towards the heroic foreigners from the Holy Cross." Blaze retorted immediately. He always had only admiration for foreigners who did good things.

"That's the perspective of the common people, but it's different for the upper echelons. This is also a bad habit in the structure of human society that can never be eradicated."

Chiron patted Blaze's shoulder and shook his head.

"You liberated the [Daytime Winter River] and have a very high reputation in the Holy Cross Kingdom, but unfortunately your reputation in the Giant Kingdom is even higher. After offsetting each other, your reputation in the Holy Cross Kingdom is still relatively low."

"In addition to these negative titles such as hybrid, pagan god, heir to the pagan kingdom of God, and pagan sun bearer..."

Even without Chiron's explanation, Blaze understood. His entry into the Holy Cross would be similar to the Giant Kingdom's coalition forces entering the Holy Cross directly. If he were allowed to march into the capital with open arms, it would almost be the end of the country.

"But I can't leave this matter to a stranger..."

Blaze carefully recalled the foreigners he was familiar with. Either they were as famous as him, or they were complete monsters in the Holy Cross Kingdom. It would be better for him to go there himself.

"I'd better do it myself. At most I can keep a low profile."

"Believe me, it's very difficult for you to keep a low profile." Chiron shook his head and counted on his fingers as if he were counting his treasures.
