473 The Cooperation (2/2)
Anheuse looked at Francis in confusion.
Lucien took over and continued. ”I agree. Since their attitude is changing all the time, we should not waste our time telling who are our allies. Instead, we should focus on turning everyone into our allies!
”The Lord of War is afraid of your power, my Lord, so are the rest of the gods. They are waiting to see if you are that powerful as we said. As long as we are confident enough and show them the power, I believe that they will prefer expelling the Lord of War and sharing the valley with us to fighting for the single position left.
”Yes, the message might be a trap, but it also hints their hope. If we can show it to them, we can turn the trap into our opportunity to fight back; but if we retreat, we'll lose the hope and turn the opportunity into a trap!”
Francis added just in time. ”Of course, very likely they'll wait and watch on the side until the situation settles, but that is exactly what we need - Kill Asin, the God of Moon, and take our time to leave!”
”Then what? They'll know that we're using them, and the Lord of War will find it out, too.” Anheuse understood Lucien and Francis' idea, yet he was still quite concerned.
Francis asked, ”why are we here in Solna Valley?”
”To kill Asin, the God of Moon, and take away His godhood,” answered Anheuse.
”Did the Lord of War show mercy to us before? The Lord of War was already seeking for a chance to destroy Avando a long time ago.” Lucien smiled.
Anheuse nodded, ”That's true. Fortunately, I am very good at disguising, or I would have been killed by his priests already.”
”Did we see any help from the rest of the gods?” Francis and Lucien in turns took turns to ask their questions. Their target was not Anheuse, but the mysterious Ell.
”No, not at all. They were helping the Lord of War,” said Anheuse bitterly.
”So, we're going to achieve our target, and the consequence will not be worse than before. Why not?” asked Francis.
”The most important thing now is to have our Lord's power recovered. Without power, even allies will turn into enemies.” Lucien concluded.
Anheuse remained silent for a while and finally said, ”I've got no more question.”
When the almighty Ell took in the godhood and the power of the God of Moon, the rest of the gods would choose to be their allies themselves.
Ell smiled, ”A very reasonable analysis. But what shall we do to demonstrate our strength, to make the timid be afraid, to make the plotters stand aside,?”
Francis proposed,
”Using the excuse that he profaned your glory during the debate, we will challenge the chief priest of the God of Moon to a duel. When we kill Asin's chief priest right in front of the temple, Asin will definitely take actions, or He would be abandoned by the followers. In this case, when the rest of the plotters see that we are able to kill the God of Moon's priest even without your presence, they'll choose to be cautious onlookers, instead of directly being involved in this fight.
”If we can make a good plan and seize the best chance, we'll have enough time to kill Asin and escape when He is unprepared and the others have chosen to step aside.”
His proposal was based on the premise that the divine circles of the Temple of War were still relatively undeveloped so that they could not cover the entire city like the circles in the main material world. Also, they were very close to the Solna River.
”Nob is the chief priest of the God of Moon, and his power should rival that of Jacob. Even if I give Leviathan the Seed of Spirit right now, he'll not be able to adjust to the power and kill Nob,” said Ell, who had walked to the window with his hands behind. ”Francis, you do it.”
Unlike Ell, Jacob did not have special power or speed matching that of a radiant knight. In case of any secret tracking, he was hiding somewhere else in the city.
”I'll show my loyalty, my Lord,” said Francis.
Ell nodded. ”I am impressed with what you have done for me, Leviathan. When I take in Asin's power, I'll give you the Seed of Spirit. But not now. At the moment I have to keep my power intact against our enemies. This is a bracelet made of Mision stone from Solna River. It enables you to breathe and swim like fish in the water. When the fight starts, go under the water immediately and leave. Wait for us at the promised place.”
Taking over the green bracelet, Lucien felt the slight amount of divine air it possessed.
......
In the afternoon, a great stir broke out among the people in the city of Husum - Years after, another fight between two priests was finally going to take place.
A young, black-haired man mixing in the crowd was listening to the discussion attentively.
Slightly frowning, he wondered who was hiding behind this fight and what the purpose truly was.
He was the night watcher ranking no. 13 —”Body Controller” Ramiro.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
