Players’ NPC daddy

"Is this the custom in other places? When I was in power, the Twelve Knights always discussed serious matters at the dinner table, but the food on the table was really not for human consumption."

Audrey pressed her fingers together. She already knew that the Eternal Queen looked glamorous, but was actually just a puppet under house arrest. But she didn't expect that even the food she ate was... so bad that she thought it was delicacies from the mountains and the sea.

So pitiful.

"Think about all the delicacies we ate in the past. Are they what humans eat?"

Well, this person just has a different sense of taste than normal people.

Morgan picked up a strip of something that he didn't know whether it was an animal or a plant, held it in his mouth and chewed it with relish.

She doesn't have the nobility of a queen, but instead has a bit more of the casualness of a nerdy scholar.

"When I was a witch, I liked this kind of thing the most. It can help people's souls leave their bodies. It allows my body to rest while my soul continues to study hard. Although I felt disgusted at first, after gaining a lot of knowledge and growing up, I regard the joy of growth as a higher level of delicacy."

Audrey's face was shocked. She knew that Herbie was also drinking something that was extremely bitter but refreshing. It turned out that drinking this thing that didn't seem like something a human could drink was the proof of becoming a reliable adult.

This spirit is exactly what she lacks.

Audrey picked up the coffee on the spot, drank it all in one gulp, and then her eyes went dark and she lost consciousness.

When Blazer rushed over, Audrey was lying on the table with black liquid flowing out of her mouth, as if she had died of poison. But after the examination, Audrey was not only alive, but also gained a lot of mental enhancement.

Blaze looked at the table. The things on it needed to be sealed with a large seal called a mosaic, as described by the strangers. Some of the things were even moving.

From the looks of it, he either fainted from fright or from the awful taste.

Fortunately, Herbie came along and helped clean up Audrey's mess, so that he could talk to Morgan about the crisis that the Eternal Kingdom was about to encounter.

"Another war?" Morgan sighed softly, with a compassionate look on her face, but in fact she could hardly suppress the smile on her face. She had learned the essence of employing people from Master Hebi, which was that as long as she stayed up all night to handle official business, she could reasonably mobilize all the foreigners.

Staying awake is exactly what she is good at. If she can command the strangers well, then the so-called flame of war will be nothing more than a small flame.

"In fact, someone made a prophecy that a giant would appear in the land of the Eternal Kingdom."

"Giant!? Cough cough--" Morgan covered her mouth, and the bitter coffee sprayed out of her nose and mouth. She coughed for a long time before she spoke in a low voice with bloodshot eyes.

"Why is there another giant?"

Blaze was stunned for a moment before he suddenly realized that when the Eternal Kingdom existed, the evil Titan also existed.

"Are you trying to defeat the Titan?"

"Who would challenge a natural disaster that has existed since the moment they opened their eyes? It's no less difficult than calming a storm or a tsunami." Morgan wiped his mouth with a handkerchief. "Even though I became a fairy in the lake, I never thought of fighting against the evil Titan."

"I assert that only creatures born in a world where the Titans do not exist will have the courage to fight when they see the Titans."

"But..." Morgan held his chin up, thinking, "Merlin, that man once begged the Eternal King to defeat the Titans, but this request, which was tantamount to suicide, was undoubtedly rejected."

Morgan then covered his forehead with his hands in pain.

"After I woke up from the water of the Holy Grail, the best news I heard was that the strangers defeated the evil Titan, but how come another giant came?"

"Don't worry too much." Blaze looked at Morgan and comforted him, "It's possible that [Giant] is just an adjective used to describe the cruelty of war, although this is not a good thing either."

"Anyway, the Eternal Kingdom needs you to go back and guard it. I wonder if you are willing."

"Why wouldn't I want to? I've been crazy about wanting to sit on that chair before." Morgan picked up the incredibly bitter coffee and took a sip.

"The Eternal King once asked me a question. You want to get the throne so desperately. Have you ever thought about what to do after you get it? I said at the time that I have things to do. There are many things to do."

"Are you ready, then?"

"It's done." Morgan put down the teacup, and there was a crisp clash between the bottom of the cup and the plate. Her emerald green eyes were extremely bright. "I am not a low-level villain who feels empty after completing his life goal. Seizing the throne is only a small part of my life plan."

"I had planned long ago how to expand my territory and how to let the people sing praises of my greatness after defeating the Eternal King."

"This is actually the reason for your failure. You started thinking about how to succeed before you even succeeded. You offended the God of Flags."

"What?" Morgan was extremely shocked. Coffee flowed out of her mouth and dripped into the coffee cup. She summed up the countless reasons for her failure, but she didn't expect to offend the gods, an unknown god at that.

"I'm just joking, don't take it seriously." Blaze smiled, then said seriously, "All I can do is defeat monsters. I'm not afraid of monsters in people's hearts, but what is going to happen in the Eternal Kingdom is beyond my control. I can only leave it to you."

"Don't worry, this is the fate I decided to bear when I pulled out the sword in the stone."

Chapter 1228 Dinner Time

Before Blazer said goodbye to the sea of ​​golden apple trees, he went on a big shopping spree. He picked several huge leaves and bought crops grown by the farmers and foreigners to put on top.

He originally planned to buy it, but the farming bosses gave it to him for free as a token of gratitude.

Only then did he remember that he had met these farming bosses several times.

The story begins with the fact that the farmer profession is just an interesting and powerful profession. In order to make more effective use of the land of Helheim, he found many farmer strangers with high productivity and morality through Hebby, and told them how to enter Helheim.

Judging from the time, this group of peasant strangers were the first group of strangers to be invited into the underworld of Helheim, and even received very high treatment.

And it was after entering the underworld of Helheim that the farmer profession received a major strengthening and became a superior profession. Its only weakness was the time and cost of training.

However, these two conditions are not a big deal for foreigners, especially those who are already farming.

Compared to the fruit of the underworld, which pushes the farmer profession to a new height, the more direct enhancement is actually the opportunity to come into contact with the goddess of death Hela.

As long as you offer food to Hela, she will eat it, and the leftovers are her reward. Although Hela eats everything and will never spit out what she eats, there are occasional exceptions.

For example, cherry stems and the like will be spit out. God knows why the plant stems spit out from the mouth of the goddess of death have such strong vitality, but these plant stems are truly exclusive to the farmer profession.

The farming bosses were quite generous to Blaze, who helped the farmers transform their careers. They said they would take as much as Blazer wanted and even help collect the money.

Finally, the few large leaves prepared by Blaze were piled high with golden fruits.

These fruits are not for eating, but Blaze thinks the time is almost up. As for the time, it is of course the [Dinner of the Goddess of Death].

After Blaze equipped the Eclipse Armor, the gray scarf spread out like ink dropped into water, and in a blink of an eye, it engulfed the surroundings along with Blaze.

When the darkness dissipated, there was the gray-white palace lobby. The mistress of the underworld, the goddess of death Hela, sat down at the dining table early. The golden fruits on the leaf plate looked like twinkling little stars in the eyes of Hela, the goddess of death.

"please--"

Before Blaze even pretended to invite her, Hela reached out and pinched the golden watermelon. The watermelon was several times bigger than Blaze, but in Hela's hand it was just like a piece of candy.

But the size of a candy could not reduce the impact that the golden watermelon brought to Hela. The moment Hela bit the golden watermelon, the vitality contained in it gushed out like a flood, impacting Hela's mouth.

While vitality is extremely delicious to Hela, it also has a restraining relationship with the body of the goddess of death, which will bring some stimulation.

Although the food Hela ate in the past also had vitality, it was too little. The golden watermelons growing in the sea of ​​golden apple trees contained a huge amount of vitality, which filled Hela's mouth in an instant.

The soda-like stimulation made Hela purse her lips, frown, and her legs trembled unconsciously.

This look reminded Blaze of the first time he drank the alien product called soda, but Hela's reaction was different from his. At that time, he sprayed it directly out of his mouth.

“Mm!” Hela tried extremely hard, her throat moved several times, and she stomped her feet several times before she finally swallowed all the life that burst out of a golden watermelon.

Even so, when Hela opened her mouth, a lot of crystal liquid flowed out from the corners of her mouth.

For the sake of his master's appearance, the butler Gunrat tried his best to carry a huge handkerchief from a distance. The maid Gunraot also helped, but she only held the handkerchief with both hands and her whole body was lying on the ground. It was more of a hindrance than a help.

As a result, because he moved at an extremely slow speed, as if in slow motion, by the time he entered Blazer's field of vision, Hela had already wiped the liquid from the corner of her mouth with her sleeve.

“Delicious.” Hela breathed softly, tapping the table with her fingers in an orderly manner. “Tell me, what do you want my help with this time?”

"Nothing, I just thought you might not have eaten it, so I brought you some."

Hela’s fingers paused, then continued tapping as if nothing had happened, except that her tapping was a little random and hurried.

"Ahem, you know that as a qualified ruler, the most basic quality is to clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments, so as a reward, I will move your position a little closer to me."

"If you move any further, it'll be next to your seat." Blaze gestured to the position of two chairs.

"As for the reward, we'll settle it later. Speaking of which, you've already returned Aquarius to the sky, so the ocean world has one less source of water."

"What does this mean?" Blaze was a little confused.

“Where do you think the Water of Life that spilled out of the overturned Bottle of Life went?” After talking about the business, Hela straightened her back a little. “I almost couldn’t hold a derivative of the Golden Apple Tree Sea. Do you think those marine life forms drink the Water of Life directly?”

"Most of the water of life has been diluted into a huge amount of seawater. This is why the sea level in World F has never dropped, and has even been rising slowly over hundreds of years. If the problem of the bottle of life is not solved, Helheim will never have a chance to float up."

“So that’s what’s going on…” Blazer pondered for a moment and was suddenly shocked, because Hela didn’t say the problem was solved, she only said one was solved.

"besides?"

“Yes, there is one more, but the output of that seawater is far less than that of the Bottle of Life, so don’t worry. And…” Hela held her chin, and a little pity appeared on the face of the cold-blooded goddess of death.

"Even I don't want to bother."

"Then I'll just pretend that it's not a hidden danger." Blaze scratched the back of his head. To be honest, the matter of the wreckage of the Ark and Merlin was already quite a headache.

Of course, what is more troublesome is Theresa. He really wants to spend some time cleaning up Theresa's head and see how many bombs are still inside that have not been defused.

"Eh...compared to these, Ouroboros is okay, right? The world barrier may take some time to build. The strangers are doing a big project there." Blaze still remembered that Ouroboros curled up its body as a barrier to prevent the seawater from World F from pouring out.

"He said there's no problem for now, just focus on the task at hand."

Chapter 1229: Laboratory Hidden in the Holy City

Not long after Blaze left, Hela pinched a golden pumpkin like a lady pinching grapes. She didn't rush to eat it, but played with it between her fingers.

Suddenly, she spoke as if talking to herself.

"How long can you hold on?... What do you mean it doesn't matter? Haven't those guys already started attacking your body?... Hey! Don't answer me with silence! Tsk——"

The goddess of death Hela crossed her legs, her cold face flushed with anger.

The only ruler of World F, the Ouroboros who can even be described as the survival overlord of World F, is now in a certain embarrassing situation.

The majestic body that originally symbolized strength could roam freely in World F, but the world F was turned upside down and cut into pieces, making the living space smaller.

Currently, there are only four oceanic plates left in World F, which is not to the point where it is restricted. But if it happens again, and there are only two or even one oceanic plates left, Ouroboros will lose the space to move freely and become a real prisoner.

A prisoner who is unable to move will face bullying from other prisoners.

Now the ruler of World F is like a silent big fool, unable to move because of blocking the gap. Other sea monsters that are usually afraid of him pounce on him and show off their power.

There was a chill in Hela's eyes that was colder than the abyss. She held her face and tapped the corners of her eyes with her fingers. Each tap seemed to sentence a living being to death.

"If I hadn't been trapped in this place, you would be in a worse situation than Balder... I know this can't be told to Blaze."

Hela sighed softly and told Blaze that the result would be that Blaze would immediately drop everything at hand and go to the barrier formed by the Ouroboros to carry out an annihilation operation against the sea monsters.

But this is a matter without an ending, not to mention that this is just the least of the problems.

What is really serious is that Ouroboros serves as the world barrier between [F-11] and [F-12] in World F. If something unexpected happens in the middle, Ouroboros' body will be cut in half.

"It's obviously a monster, a snake, why is your heart so hot?"

……

In the Holy Cross Theocracy, the Holy Capital, Blaze was doing warm-up exercises in the cathedral.

In the past, this would have been impossible. The Holy Capital was a place that only the true and devout believers of the Holy Cross could enter. Otherwise, even the cardinal was not qualified to enter here.

Blaze had asked out of curiosity how to tell if a person was a devout believer, and the answer made him feel a little queasy.

That is to test whether faith is everything to you and whether you can live by faith. In simple terms, it means to go without food or drink and keep praying for a week.

To be honest, this is a bit inhumane, but judging from the scale of the holy city in the past, there were quite a lot of devout believers.

There are two reasons why Blaze can appear here now. One is that he is on good terms with the top leaders of the Holy Cross. After the Pope disappeared, the three saints and Anderson took up the responsibilities. Another reason is related to [Somado].

After those devout believers were abandoned by the Pope and Adam, they were picked up by foreigners and taken to Somado.

There is a saying that goes, where there are people, there is a city. The reason why the Holy City is the Holy City is because of those devout believers. In the public opinion of the Holy Cross Kingdom, the Holy City has changed along with these devout believers. Now, [Somado] far away in the Giant Kingdom Alliance is the real holy city.

Many people from the Holy Cross would travel thousands of miles to embark on this pilgrimage. Now that the true holy city had appeared, the old holy city no longer needed those strict rules and regulations.

"Are you sure the former Pope's secret base is here?" Anderson, with a shawl embroidered with a golden cross on his shoulders, asked uneasily.

Blaze had a sledgehammer at his side, and it didn't seem like he was trying to find the entrance to the secret base, but rather to force his way in.

"The Virgin Mary, no, the Pope, that..."

Anderson covered his forehead with his hands in pain. The magical power of the Age of Gods' technology made him not know how to address Theresa for a moment.

What with body swapping, backup, and cloning? Just having to accept that many outstanding figures in the history of the Holy Cross were actually one person would almost overload his pig brain.

Those people included both men and women, young and old. If he hadn't been protected by the special gender of the strangers, his head would really have been bubbling with smoke like boiling water.

"Just call her Theresa."

"Well, why didn't Teresa come? As the Pope's true body, shouldn't she know something about these things? If you think she has a conspiracy, you can also find your teacher. Didn't he also come to the Age of Gods?"

“No, she and my teacher can’t come. The people of the Age of Gods are particularly fond of “taking precautions”, and the one they like to take precautions against the most is themselves. Assuming there are traps in the Pope’s base, they will definitely be targeted first.”

Blaze raised the sledgehammer with one hand and began to look at the floor of the Holy Metropolis Cathedral.
