Chapter 687 It’s Not Hard to Negotiate with the Goddess

The whole room was silent.

Everyone had played the game for nearly four years now. The vast majority of them never missed out on any hours of gameplay each night, and Mages who had been able to keep playing until now were all well-informed players with a deep understanding of the game, or enough knowledge of the world.

What was the concept of gods in this world?

Not to mention the coalition of gods during the exploration stages of the game, the descent of the archangel later on, and the Goddess of Light’s descent some time ago, these were enough to prove that the gods in this world not only existed but were also very active.

They influenced the world with their power at every turn.

Although players clamored every day that they decided their fates and that gods were just a more powerful creature and so on, they still revered the gods to a degree. It was like the reverence for the supreme leader of a nation.

Of course, there was a fundamental difference between this idea and the veneration of the

gods.

They were silent, and Roland was silent, waiting for their response.

After a while, it was O’Neal who spoke up. “That Goddess of Magic, Mystra?”

“There seems to be only one Goddess of Magic, right?”

“No, I mean, can the goddess of magic be invited whenever we want?” O’Neal looked at Roland with a puzzled expression.

Roland froze for a moment and waved his hand. “Didn’t mean that. I was just saying that we could try asking the Goddess of Magic to come down and talk to us—just to try.”

In reality, Roland felt that the Goddess of Magic would gladly come down.

As she was interested in knowledge herself, and Roland was someone she wanted to rope in, it didn’t seem difficult to ask her to take time to come down.

When the crowd heard Roland’s explanation, they all had sneers on their faces. They didn’t believe in Roland’s words.

O’Neal sighed. “Is it strange that you can invite the Goddess of Magic down when you are carrying the button of the Life Goddess and talking and laughing with the Nether God?”

Oh… is that how you guys actually see me?

Roland was quite surprised. He had a pure relationship with these goddesses-no ambiguity at all.

He was just friends with them.

However, he understood that the more he explained these things, the more guilty he would be in the eyes of others, so he said, “So would you guys like to invite her down to

talk?”

“Of course.” O’Neal shrugged and said, “I heard that the lawful goddesses are all quite beautiful, so how could we not get a look at them. Besides, this is also related to our future interests, so of course, we have to talk about

it.’

Then Roland took out the Goddess of Magic’s statue from his Backpack.

He prepared this a few days ago.

Because he had already thought of tying the association to the Goddess of Magic, this way, it could pave the way for the development of the players’ Association of Mages.

Placing the statue of the Goddess of Magic on the table, he then communicated with his consciousness.

All the statues of gods in this world possessed a weak divine power.

… To ensure that the statues were not desecrated, defiled and that the orthodox believers could quickly communicate with their gods when something happened.

Although Roland wasn’t a believer, his mental power was already registered by Mystra’s divine power. It was only then that his spiritual consciousness could be connected, and with a swish, he was pulled into the divine realm of magic.

It was still the same blue spiral-patterned platform, still a divine realm filled with magic.

“You actually reached out to me?” Mystra was somewhat surprised and seemed delighted. “Is something wrong?”

“Well, I plan to call on the Golden Sons to establish an Association of Mages and exchange knowledge on magic together.” Roland didn’t notice the faint elation in Mystra’s eyes and continued, “So I want to invite you to go down and talk to them. I think it will be of great benefit to your faith and preaching in the future.”

Mystra’s expression remained elated. “You’re helping me?”

Roland froze. That sounded quite strange.

But there seemed to be nothing wrong with it. “It’s not really helping you, it’s just a win-win.”

In Roland’s opinion, it was indeed a win-win situation. After the establishment of the Association of Mages, it was impossible to open it only to the players. It also had to be open to the NPCs; then it would inevitably produce exchanges and even conflicts with other organizations.

If the Goddess of Magic stood behind them, then many small troubles might disappear, and big troubles would become small ones.

With less trouble, Mages could devote more energy to magic research. Producing more interesting spells and advancing magic theory would be a good thing for the Goddess of Magic.

It would increase the amount of her faith and solidify her Divine Spark.

If this wasn’t a win-win, what was?

“If you say win-win, then it’s a win-win,” the Goddess of Magic said with a smile. “I’ll be right down.”
