Cthulhu Gonfalons

Chapter 38

The documents that the God of Redemption gave Sui Xiong included the geography of the continent, some extraordinary existences that deserve our attention, and, above all, the knowledge that the gods must understand:

Is that God ?; how to become a god; what is the principle of building a Holy Kingdom ?; how to choose a priest; what is the acquisition and use of divine power ?; what is the relationship between divinity and combat effectiveness?

The new gods with their sacred pedigree would definitely ask these questions to their predecessors or superiors. But for the gods who fought alone or started from scratch, these questions were unattainable and unspoken secrets. The God of Redemption clearly did not hide this, but passed on the life experiences he had accumulated over the years in detail to Sui Xiong. The experience turned out to be beneficial for Sui as it had rich content, detailed descriptions, and plenty of informative examples.

A few days later, when he fully understood the documents and memorized the relatively more important ones, he was no longer at the stage of becoming a stranger in such a strange place, no longer, and he became a stranger who had a relatively accurate understanding of this world so as to travel around with confidence.

Then, he took Palin and began their journey to the four cities in the northwest.

The first goal is the Dragon-roaring City — completing the task of expelling the evil dragon means a reward of five thousand gold coins. This money will help a lot in building the Pioneer Village.

Thunder-Dragon City was the northernmost among the four northwestern cities. Its name comes from the “Tyrant Arctic” dragon that lives in the depths of the nearby mountains.

A few decades ago, before the dragons came there, the city was called “Hunter” City because the main result was from hunting in the nearby mountains, and there were many professional hunters in that village.

“Arctic” Impersonation, although powerful and terrible, lacks aggressive aggressiveness. As of now, the main source of income for the Thunder-Dragon City was still hunting ferocious beasts in the mountains. It was not too affected by the dragons in the mountains.

Of course, every few years, a bluish-white dragon with scales as smooth and ice-cold attacked the city. The goal was certainly not to eat people or to destroy but to extort gold coins.

This Dragon seems to think of Dragon-roar Town as a large ATM machine – machine that requires face scanning without actual verification, and has an account with unlimited balance. It was as arrogant as some of the mammonish women who went straight to the upscale restaurants, and bought a set of Chanel products after a meal. However, the Thunder-Dragon City was not an arrogant president who carried around a set of Centurion cards without overdrafts or a second-generation rich woman who could spend tens of millions just for entertainment, but it was just an ordinary city.

To the people of this city, could it be that the regularly plundered dragons were vile tax collectors?

Other than the looting of dragons, the Dragon-roaring City was generally quite peaceful. The most interesting thing in this city is that sometimes there will be strong hunters chasing strong demon beasts and dissecting them outside the city.

At that time, not only in the four northwestern cities but also in the entire continent there were famous sights, so there were often curious people who did not hesitate to go to Thunder-Dragon City to see such a scene despite the difficult journey.

When Sui Xiong and Palin came to town, a team of hunters had just killed an Aron dragon. The dissection has entered its second day, and is expected to be completed in one more day.

Even though the monster was dead and in his stomach, his body was probably still taller than Gerrard on the ground. His body was placed in a large square outside the city. The square was specially prepared for the dissection of the prey, and it took ten years for the Church of the Hunting God to complete it. This square, nearly half the size of the city, was completely covered by bluish-colored stone slabs, and each slab was carved with the holy mark of the God of Hunt. There are also sacred rituals for sacrifice and charm. As long as the prey was brought here, it would not rot anymore and people could calm down and dissect it slowly. Even for the prey that was already slightly rotting, they could beg the priests of the Hunt God who could provide magic to recover his body;

The dead monster, which was larger than a mansion, was lying on a slab in its stomach, and several senior hunters, along with a group of young people, were lying on it, busy dissecting it little by little using a sharp knife. There were also anxious businessmen waiting there with their vans. Seeing her from afar, Sui Xiong could not help but laugh.

“This place is thriving and full of vitality!”

“Indeed, the people in Thunder-Dragon City were more confident and energetic than the other three cities, though, maybe because people who are less brave and confident cannot live in such a place because they have fought with demonic beasts for so many years.”

What he said was true, but he missed an important reason: the city had been invaded by dragons every few years, and the power of the dragons was terrifying. People who can withstand it and are not afraid often have very strong hearts and very tough nerves.

They thought, “I even saw a dragon attacking us, so what can I fear?”

So the people in Thunder-Dragon City might have some sort of optimism with a little self-neglect. They were all optimistic and forthright with smiles on their faces all day.

As Gerrard would keep the command of the pioneers and train his staff, Palin became Sui Xiong's guide. Young witches liked hunters who could hunt large demon beasts based on their courage and wisdom, so he spoke to them with a lot of appreciation.

Here you can see armed hunters everywhere on the streets. Hunting in the mountains haunted by beasts made reliable equipment indispensable, so there were the largest arms and armor trading places in the four cities in the northwest. As long as they had enough money, it could not be said that they could not buy weapons powerful enough to use to fight against dragons and even the legendary Dragon Killing Sword.

As for those who thought that wielding a dragon blade allowed them to slay dragons, they would rather die early and be more careful in their next life than harm society now.

“Is there a Dragon Killing Sword for sale here?” Hearing Palin ask, Sui Xiong could not help but strangely respond, “Didn't the Dragon Killing Sword be given to us for free if we click on the link?”

“What is ‘klik’? And why was the Dragon Killing Sword given to us for free? ”

Sui Xiong let out some laughter and urged Palin to immediately go to the weapon shop. He wanted to see the Dragon Killing Sword in this world.

The Thunder-Dragon City had several weapon shops, and Palin went straight to the largest, impressively named “Dragon Killer Sword.”

As soon as he entered, he saw a giant helicopter hung on a large pole that supported the roof. The helicopter was wider and taller than him.

The black bone bracelet on his wrist was gleaming as Sui Xiong used his soul power and tried to analyze the structure of this sword to copy it in the future.

However, he soon discovers that this knife is nothing special. It was nothing more than a larger and heavier blade made with finer materials and carved with multiple magic formations. That'sthat's all.

“Is this knife sample or original?” He couldn't help but ask.

Palin asked the attendant at the weapon shop, and the man definitely guaranteed that the blade was genuine and definitely the Dragon Killing Sword.

So Sui Xiong examined her from the inside out again.

Must be a regular knife!

It is true that it uses very good material — best stainless steel, and is well designed. There was not even a bubble hidden within his blade. Sui Xiong could even clearly know the technique of hammering and extinguishing it. Indeed it involves a lot of consideration, but with just such attributes, it could be called the Dragon Killing Sword?

Was it just because of the charm on the sword?

The blade has a total of four types of magic charms: sharpness, sturdiness and constant speed; Gravitational changes are activated by the user temporarily and no more.

And these four magic enchantments made a huge steel blade into the Dragon Killing Sword?

Sui Xiong said, “Traders are the same in terms of bragging no matter the world! They are the same in saying things like ‘the Antarctic people are not afraid of cold’, and ‘The Dragon Killer Sword’ …! ”

“Your Honor, do you think this knife is fake?” Palin asked curiously.

“How to say it .. If Gerrard takes this knife – let's assume he will use a knife other than an axe – it's possible for him to kill a dragon. But the essence of killing dragons is not about knives, but about Gerrard. The cowards like Rhode might rush over like frightened rats when meeting a giant dragon, even if they were given ten such knives. He would also throw a knife to run faster! ”

“In this case, the knife is actually not bad, but rather excessive ...” Palin said. “Maybe the craftsman who created the knife just hopes his reputation can attract a true legendary strong man who can chase away and even kill the dragon?”

“Maybe.” Sui Xiong lost interest in this exaggerated blade and stared at the other weapons in the shop.

Looking closely, this shop actually had a lot of good weapons. If the request was not to kill the dragon, many things could meet the standards.

For example, he immediately focused on a long dagger made from a special material called “Ice Iron.” Some external charms make it sharper, denser, and faster when held. It can also produce ghosts when held, thus confusing the enemy's view.

If this was the case, it was not enough to enter Sui Xiong's gaze. The dagger has a hidden mystery – the inside is decorated with a magical core of a demon beast “Red” Fire Rhino with fire attributes. The dagger, through its magic formation, can activate powerful fire power when necessary, and this time the dagger becomes a hilt-like buffer.

In other words, it was not only a sharp dagger that contained ice-cold strength but could also turn into a fire sword if needed. This change was completely beyond the enemy's expectations, and in actual combat, it was most likely that it would give a shocking result, and winning with one action was also easy.

Rhode, a new follower of Sui Xiong, did not have a good career. As vice chairman of the Thief Association, he carries a long dagger made only of stainless steel with the effect of “sharpness.” It was nothing compared to the dagger named “Soul of Ice” even combined with a charm effect due to the ordinary materials and non-brilliant skills used to make it. It is very likely that his dagger will be cut off after the collision of two weapons frontally. The changes and subsequent flames were also very different and incomparable.

There were no supergi tomahawks that Gerrard used in the inventory, so Sui Xiong intended to help the despicable Rhode prepare a useful weapon so that the less skilled surveyors would not be killed by the skeleton.

In his view, other than the gods, the creatures that deserve the description “less skilled” while only including the giant unicorn whale that he saw in the sea and the four-faced monster that he ate shortly before. According to his ideals, the first believer must at least reach that level before he can feel comfortable.

A less skilled man could not kill a dragon even with a dragon slayer, but he could only be killed by a dragon. That said, it's not right to jump from the theory that weapons decide everything directly to spiritual atomic bombs because after all the Buddha had to rely on the gold exterior and people on clothes.

“Do you need to buy a gun for Rhode? Clearly, that fellow was seeking the protection of His Majesty for his benefit, and he was not at all godly! ”Palin was instantly enraged when she found out what Sui Xiong wanted to do.

According to him, only piety deserves a reward from God.

However, Sui Xiong did not think so. He was the man of the earth, and more specifically, the Chinese. Chinese attitude to trust is “I believe in god and god will give me benefits as a fair exchange.” Rhode truly believed him and still served him. These days he is very busy. Even now, he was still busy working.

Sui Xiong had seen his efforts. It is human nature to want rewards.

However, the gods of this world require believers to do a lot of work unconditionally and judge the level of trust based only on piety. He disagrees with this approach!
