Merlinsera wanted to find a place to continue chatting with him, but when she saw a few figures descending from Hovela City, she knew that today was not the time.
"Erm, I …"
"Sally and the others are coming down, and I'm bringing them to the outer city to sleep. Ha — yawn."
Merlinsera pretended to be sleepy, and pointed at Sally, Natha, Akasha, and the others who were descending from Hovela City using the Slow Descent Spell.
As they slowly descended, there were three Dragons around them, obviously acting as' bodyguards'. This was a scene that Merlinsera had never seen before …
But seeing how willing the Dragons were, she knew that the Dragons were about to experience a change that had not been seen for thousands of years.
And the person who caused all of this was not thinking about the Dragons at all.
Roddy clenched his teeth, worrying about the conversation between Sally, Akasha, Natha, and Merlinsera after they met.
But the atmosphere was much friendlier than he had imagined. After all, the battle had just ended, and the atmosphere was solemn because of the thick stench of blood. Without needing Roddy to say anything, Merlinsera waved goodbye to Roddy, and the group left the temple district. They crossed the magic-condensed drawbridge, and disappeared into the streets of the outer city that had mostly recovered.
Roddy stood beside the large hole dug by the teleportation portal, listening to the lords' analysis of why Dorium's corpse was so heavy, and why the teleportation portal did not suck it away. He yawned, then turned his attention to his mission panel, and checked the progress of the mission.
The mission [Origin of Divine Artifacts] was completed. According to the description, Sally had become a 'Divine Artifact' that had been infused with Tapris' divine power. But after Roddy read it carefully, he realized that 'Divine Artifacts' were not as simple as he had imagined.
"… They are called 'Divine Artifacts' because they possess the power of gods. When the carrier is an object, the 'divine artifact' is a weapon, but when the carrier is a life form, the 'divine artifact' has infinite possibilities. "
Roddy had some guesses in his mind. He then glanced at the Viper's Kiss … which was the powerful skill that Sally had obtained:
The skill represented by the golden scepter: "Divine Realm Control".
The Demigod-level Dragons would release their "Territory" to strengthen their combat abilities and defeat their opponents. To put it bluntly, this was actually an imitation of the real "God's Domain", and Roddy now understood how powerful the "God's Domain" was. However, just because he had this skill, it didn't mean that he could use it at any time.
At this time, there was a "Unavailable" icon below the skill.
There was a lot of information in the skill description.
"You have the ability to activate Tapris' God's Domain. However, activating the God's Domain requires the conversion of the believers' Power of Will. When the Power of Will is not strong enough, the power of the divine power will gradually decrease until it completely disappears."
Before coming down from Hovela City, Roddy had taken the time to see this description, which was why he had explained it to Merinthra. His understanding of "Power of Will" should be the degree of worship and fanaticism that the believers had towards Tapris …
However, whether this was the truth or not, Roddy planned to rely on experiments to prove it. This would take some time, so he just had to wait and see.
The [Origin of the Artifact] mission rewarded him with more than 20 million EXP. At the same time, it rewarded him with the passive skill "Tapris's Protection". This skill itself did not have any other effects. It only stated that "You have become the chosen emissary of Tapris."
Roddy guessed that this should be the key to directly binding the "Viper's Kiss" skill.
The other mission [Elegy of the Dragons] was also shown as completed. In fact, Roddy had not had the time to carefully read the mission description and rewards. Now that he had read it carefully, he realized that the mission's objective was to "ensure the survival of at least one Lord of the Dragons" and "ensure the survival of ten elders".
This number seemed a little exaggerated, but in fact, if Roddy did not have the help of divine power, it was possible that the main force of the Dragons would have been wiped out. But now, he had completed the mission almost perfectly with his divine power, so the EXP reward made Roddy count to zero for a long time … Later, he simply stopped counting and directly invested the EXP into the "Elemental Summoner" subclass. He then discovered that he had directly leveled it up to Level 57.
In terms of level, Roddy was now actually standing at the peak of the human world.
But the difference between species was insurmountable, and the upper limit of humans was confirmed. Roddy's understanding of this was becoming deeper and deeper. It could even be said that Taliyah's choice to let the Demon Monarch descend … was probably due to a similar understanding.
It was just that she had overestimated the abilities of herself and the priests.
Turning his gaze to the mission reward, Roddy found that this mission had directly raised his reputation with all the Dragons to "Reverence". At the same time, there was also a series of notifications: In the city construction column, a large number of newly unlocked buildings and options were flashing. Looking carefully, Roddy found that this was the result of a series of chain reactions. The relationship between the Dragons and humans was now closer, and it was even enough to open the "Trade" option to trade various resources, magic tools, magic books, and so on.
Previously, the cooperation between the Dragons in Hollier City was an "exchange" between the upper echelons. Now that a comprehensive trade had been opened, it meant that the Dragons and humans had truly begun extensive cooperation. It was obvious that in the face of the possible political and war situation, this was the best choice, and also a choice that the Lords of the Dragons could not refuse.
In the future, the Kingdom of Karen would definitely usher in a comprehensive period of economic and technological development. Roddy knew that he had to grasp the direction of development, and then …
And then what? Become the actual head of a country?
He found that he did not have much interest in this kind of power.
He unconsciously swiped the mission panel, and then realized that [Save the Thooks!] This mission was still stuck at the step of obtaining the "Grasp of Terra" staff.
Thinking of this, Roddy made another trip to Hovela City and dug out this reward from the ruins. Then, he saw that the mission had been updated to the next step.
However, this was the first time that Roddy realized that the mission had not been updated for a long time … After a few seconds, lines of words appeared.
"Dister City has suffered serious damage, and the political situation in Eskar is facing turbulence. As the messenger of Tapris and the holder of the artifact, you have the responsibility to calm the possible turbulence in the capital, and solve the upcoming riots in the country.
Please try your best to reduce the civilian casualties, and let the Thooks become your most loyal subjects! "
He did not expect that one day, he would actually receive a mission similar to a coup to seize power … To put it bluntly, wasn't it to directly gain control of Eskar and obtain resources from it?!
However, on second thought, Roddy realized that this was actually the best choice. In history, Spain was actually the first "empire where the sun never sets". Later on, England relied on the industrial revolution and conquered backward countries to become the "empire where the sun never sets" that people were truly familiar with …
From a practical point of view, the resources in the Kingdom of Karen were indeed not abundant. If they wanted the technology and economy to develop rapidly, the population, resources, transportation, culture, and so on had to keep up. Now, Roddy was no longer a political rookie. His short political career had already made him realize that the human race was not a group that could take off immediately with Dragons at the top and a group of rabble at the bottom …
