Above the thunderclouds, in Fafnir's home.
"Compared to the fighting skills of the Behemoths, the fighting skills of the Angels focus more on flexibility and stability.
Every time they swung their swords, they were able to achieve exactly the same force, not a bit lighter nor a bit heavier.
The Behemoths, on the other hand, rely more on their own anger to unleash their power.
Therefore, the upper limit of Behemoth is higher than that of Angel, but the lower limit is also lower than that of Angel. "
"That's right."
Fafnir nodded repeatedly at the talking Qi Ge.
“I never thought that you could study combat skills in your spare time after being promoted to a master, and you have such a deep understanding of the combat skills of the nine major forces. I am very pleased.
If everyone could be like you, the ancient fighting skills of the Yasha world would not be buried in the dust here."
At this point, Fafner became a little sad:
"Nowadays, fewer and fewer people value combat skills."
"Senior, that's just because they don't know the potential of their combat skills.
For example, if I don’t bring any soldiers with me, I may not be able to defeat a group of big-eared monsters, but you, senior, have no pressure in facing a giant dragon.”
"Well, so what?"
Fafnir sighed again:
“Maybe I can handle one dragon, or even ten, or a hundred.
But when the power of three hundred dragons was combined, I was completely unable to resist.
The Mother Goddess's battle space is good news for the entire Yasha world, but for me, it is cutting off my path forward."
Qi Ge saw that the time had come and took the opportunity to speak:
"Senior Fafner, when I was traveling in Diya this time, I learned something from a follower of the magic goddess. It may be helpful to you."
"Oh? What's the matter?" Fafner's appetite was suddenly whetted.
Qi Ge solemnly declared:
"Senior, let me be clear, this news is just hearsay, and I can't be sure whether it is true or not.
You'd better just listen to it for fun and don't spend too much energy pursuing it."
"Hearsay..." Fafner looked at Qi Ge suspiciously, his rebellious psychology was aroused.
"It's okay, just talk and I'll listen."
Qi Ge's expression relaxed, and he said to Fafnir:
“Senior, I heard that there is a demigod who was recently promoted in the Magic Goddess Church.
That lord was originally a legendary warrior monk."
Qi Ge lowered his voice:
"I heard... I heard that he was promoted purely based on his personal combat ability."
"Is there such a thing..."
Fafnir's eyes flickered twice, and he denied it categorically:
"No, that's impossible! He couldn't have been promoted based on his personal combat prowess.
It is impossible to be promoted to demigod by relying solely on the hero's personal combat power.
If this were possible, I would be the first one to be promoted!"
"I don't know about that."
Qi Ge spread his hands.
"To be frank, I just heard it from someone. I thought it might have something to do with you, Senior, so I wrote it down.
Senior, please listen to it casually."
Fafnir was silent for a while, then said:
"Well, I've made a note of it. I'll check it out when I have some free time.
Ah, don't worry, I won't have any expectations, and I won't waste much time."
"Senior, please do as you please."
Qi Ge bowed and replied.
At this moment, Fafner stood up and said to Qige:
"Okay, I'll bring your invitation to His Majesty Gavin, you can go back and get busy.
The celebration banquet is about to begin, and I'm sure you have a lot of things to take care of."
"Thank you, senior. I will take my leave now."
Seeing Qi Ge and nine beautiful maids walking away, Fafnir immediately clapped his hands.
"Someone, go check if there are any new demigods in the Magic Church recently.
If there is, his name, origin, promotion time, and promotion method must all be found out clearly for me, at any cost."
…
…
"Favnar is an ancient lamp god of the same age as Somla. He is a well-deserved veteran of Bracada, and also the commander-in-chief of the three armies of Bracada.
His life was both a legendary and a tragic one.
He is the lamp god who was born before the battle space was completely perfected. He is the epitome of all combat skills. If he fights one-on-one without his troops, no legend in the Yasa world can beat him.
If the demigods cannot suppress him with rules, no demigod can defeat him.
He is the Lu Bu, Li Yuanba, and Xiang Yu of the Yasha world, and his personal strength is unmatched in the world.
Relying on his personal strength, which he was proud of, he successfully became a legendary hero, but because he only had personal strength, he failed three times in his attempt to become a demigod.
I know very well in my heart that such a legend with such a strong mind will never be willing to have no way forward.
As long as Fafnir is given a chance to become a demigod, he will tear a hole big enough for him to pass through, no matter who stands in his way."
“A checkered battlefield.
This is a special rule I got in the Chaos Treasure House, which is very suitable for heroes like Fafnir who rely on personal strength.
I am very sure that the checkered battlefield has a fatal attraction for Fafnir, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is his salvation.
But I can't trade with him directly using the grid battlefield.
In that case , redemption came too cheaply for Fafnir.
I have to treat him like a bad woman treats a dog, keep him hanging and let him see hope little by little.
When he has gone through all kinds of difficulties and constantly cleared away the fog, he will finally see the shadow of salvation like Tang Monk who had gone through 81 difficulties. He will do anything to get salvation.
everything!
This, of course, includes betraying a true God.”
Qi Ge looked up at the sky.
The thunderclouds surged and rolled endlessly.
He smiled mysteriously, turned around, and walked away with a clear mind.
The fish food has been spread out, and the hungry fish will naturally fight for the life-saving food.
Next, patient anglers will wait quietly for the fish to bite the hook.
…
…
The last stop for the seven pigeons to deliver the invitations is [Divine Realm and Human World].
"The waist is like the wind, the clothes are half off the shoulders, the hem of the skirt falls, and the jade legs are stretched out in front of him..."
The gorgeous lyrics floated in the luxurious box. A group of bunny girls sang and danced. The big ones were jumping and the small ones were swaying. The scene was quite decadent.
Qi Ge was half leaning on the sofa, enjoying the fruit that Xueying peeled for him, feeling comfortable and happy.
At this moment, the door of the box was pushed open by four snake demons, and Escher with white hair and beard walked in with a cane, laughing.
"Hahaha! I'm late, I'm late.
Brother Xingfeng, I am very busy now that I am the Grand Speaker. I am sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time."
Qi Ge immediately stood up, held Escher with both hands, and said with a smile:
"Teacher, your words are too cold. It is only natural for students to wait for their teachers.
You can't look down on me and refuse to acknowledge me as your student just because I became a master so late.
We had agreed on this when we were here.”
"Hahaha, okay, okay."
Escher patted Qi Ge's hand, pulled Qi Ge to sit down, and suddenly asked:
"Have you sent invitations to other families?"
Qi Ge was stunned: "Ah, they have all been sent."
"Oh, you sent it to other places first, and only came to me last."
Escher raised his head and pulled his hand away calmly.
Qi Ge smiled:
"Teacher, you are the finale and must be the last one to leave.
I'm not in a hurry now, so I can spend more time with you."
"Hahahahaha. You, can talk. Not bad, really not bad."
Escher laughed loudly, and all his grudges disappeared.
He took off his glasses and looked carefully at the group of vampire maids standing neatly and respectfully behind Qi Ge. He smiled and shook his head, and said to Qi Ge:
"Agaid's speed in becoming a master was inferior to yours, and his ability in finding women was also inferior to yours.
You are better than your teacher.”
"Thank you so much. How dare I compete with the teacher? The teacher has never been serious. He only made a few moves, but he has already surpassed me by a lot."
“Hahaha, humble.
I don't know you well enough, but how can I not know Agaide well enough? I know his strengths and weaknesses very well.
Xingfeng, since you still recognize me as your teacher, I will not hide anything and will ask you directly.
You two, master and disciple, have made such a big fuss this time, what exactly are you planning?"
"Speaking of this matter, I'll have to ask you to take more care of it, teacher."
Qi Ge said seriously.
He glanced at the stage, and Escher immediately understood.
He raised his cane and tapped the floor lightly. A magic curtain immediately rose up, isolating the two men from the dancing bunny girl.
Qi Ge continued:
“The teacher said that Bracada is now facing both internal and external troubles.
Internal troubles lie in the unstable economy. External troubles are building up in the port city, and our trade routes are blocked.
This is both a crisis and an opportunity for Bracada, and we happen to be the ones who have the ability to seize the opportunity.
Economic instability and lack of market for goods will inevitably lead to the closure of a large number of factories.
This means that a lot of space is freed up.
Countless excellent factories and minerals that could not be found even with the magic lamp before can now be purchased at low prices.
My teacher told me that our Bracada family is big and powerful, so we can easily get through some crises.
Buy those high-quality factories at a bargain price now, and when the economy recovers and trade routes are opened up, you can earn ten or a hundred times more gold coins.
You are familiar with us architects. Our business is very expensive.
If we want to design a better architectural blueprint, it will cost us half of our wealth, and we may not succeed.
We must seize such a good opportunity and not let it go.
A seat on the Grand Council is vital to our chances.
Both my master and I are from neutral factions and are weak.
But now the teacher is the only permanent member of the Grand Council, and it is difficult for him to support the whole committee alone."
Having said this, Escher naturally understood.
He asked doubtfully:
"You want to be a permanent position? Well... theoretically, a master architect is indeed eligible to be elected as a permanent position. Your teacher was a master architect in the past.
But now, there is really not a single master among the permanent members.
Your teacher had also worked for more than ten years and had made great contributions, so it was natural for him to be promoted and no one dared to say anything.
You are so young, even if you have the credit for defeating the Demon Lord, you still stand out too much.
After all, this is an exceptional promotion, and there are many people to suppress and many things to deal with, which is very troublesome. "
It is very troublesome, that is it is difficult to do. It is difficult, but it can be done, but the price needs to be negotiated.
Qi Ge understood it all at once.
He took out the architectural drawings that he had prepared long ago and placed them in Escher's hand.
“This is the miracle building [Wall of Knowledge] that Mr. Agaid has just researched.
Teacher, please take more care. "
"Hey, hey, hey, hey. What are you doing? What are you doing? Take it back, take it back."
Without even looking at it, Escher stuffed the drawing back into Qi Ge's hand unhappily.
"Misunderstood, that's not what I meant.
With our relationship, there is no need for this.
I just want to ask, are you sure there is no need to be so anxious?
Xingfeng, you are so smart, you should know that we can do this, but we can't do it often."
Qi Ge was silent for a moment, looked around, and then leaned close to Escher's ear and whispered solemnly:
"Sensei Aged wants to attack the demigod."
"Hmm!" Escher was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized:
"Oh!!! No wonder! No wonder Aged's movements suddenly became bigger.
Wait, that 's not right.
Aged has just become a legend not long ago, and now he is trying to become a demigod?
Isn’t it too early?”
"It's getting late..."
Qi Ge sighed and said:
“The teacher said that if he wanted to become a demigod, he had to design and build a mythical building on his own.
This is a hard condition and cannot be avoided.
The teacher said that he was very clear about his talent, and he would never be able to design it without trying and failing five, six, seven, eight, nine, or ten times.
It takes a huge amount of resources to try to design a mythical building once, let alone so many times.
My teacher told me that the early bird catches the worm. This doesn’t mean that the early bird likes to fly first, but that the early bird will starve to death if it doesn’t fly first.
He can only start preparing now, so that he can have some confidence in igniting the divine fire before his death ."
“Ah~~~~”
Escher seemed to have thought of something and sighed deeply:
"I understand. I saw how your teacher suffered under the master.
I was suffering the same way as him at that time, so I can empathize with him.
If that is the reason, then I have no reason to stop you anymore."
Escher patted Qi Ge's shoulder and said:
“I accept this invitation. When the time comes, I will bring all the elders of the Mage Guild with me to support you in public.
Since I, the Speaker, have agreed, they should not object."
Qi Ge was overjoyed: "Thank you, teacher!"
…
…
Thirty-six minutes after the seven pigeons left.
Eschel no longer used his crutches and was walking with the swift gait of a dragon or a tiger in a secret underground passage.
He flung open a large black door and illuminated the room with light magic.
He frowned and looked at the man in black robe lying on the ground, covering his chest.
"Ahem, teacher, I am a useless apprentice and have caused you trouble again."
"Stop talking nonsense. You wouldn't come to my place if it wasn't absolutely necessary."
Escher sat down calmly and asked the man in black in front of him:
"Tell me, what happened, Sandro?"
"teacher."
The black-robed wizard took off his hood, revealing his iconic face. Sandro said with a shameful look:
"Teacher, I may have made a mistake. I am wanted by the Dragon Lich Lord."
