Outside the Sea Temple.
Søren stood in front of the temple and waited silently. He arranged for Adele Isabelle to go to the tavern. The next plan needed some help. Otherwise, the two of them couldn't even sail the ship. After the Naga Siren priest came back, she entered the temple. Even the temple guards were ordered to stay outside. No one knew what she was doing on the ground. Søren was naturally not qualified to go in. He didn't want to know too much about the secrets of the sea goddess. The more he knew, the deeper he would be involved.
That was how the silencing happened.
As time went by, the divine power gathered around the Sea Temple suddenly vibrated. It was a very obvious feeling of vibration. The divine power around the temple surged like a tide. In this world, the believers provided the gods with the power of faith, and then the gods transformed the power of faith into divine power. This divine power was not all controlled by the gods. It also needed to be fed back to the believers. Most of it would stay in the temple. Therefore, any temple with a priest would have a divine aura. Otherwise, it would be an abandoned temple.
The divine power would gradually decrease and dissipate.
If the presiding priest was replaced, or the strength of the priest was very low, or the number of believers decreased, the divine power above would decrease little by little. Finally, the divine aura above the temple would be reduced by one or two levels. Upgrading the level of the temple not only required a large enough scale, but also a corresponding number of believers and influence in the surrounding area. There were a large number of temples scattered in this world, but more than 90% of them were at the level of temples. There were not many that could reach the level of a temple. Most of them were inside the city.
The number of big temples was even fewer!
Such a big temple was equivalent to half a wizard tower. After activating the divine power protection, there was no way to destroy it.
Amber City was a typical example.
If it weren't for the strong deterrence of the temple, the struggle between the gods would be even more intense. This was because many evil gods couldn't wait to kill the believers of the enemy gods at any time. If the temple in front of them was attacked head-on, it would be impossible to take it down without a regular legion. Even if it was taken down, the casualties would be more than 50%.
The divine power began to gradually converge. It seemed that some unpredictable changes had occurred in the Sea Temple!
Søren couldn't understand this change because he knew very little about divine power and magic. He didn't have enough knowledge to judge it. But he could feel the change, and he even noticed that the change was spreading towards the underground seawater below the Sea Temple. It was as if an invisible energy wave had enveloped the entire port Tylon. Søren wasn't the only one who felt this change. All the guards in front of the shrine knelt on the ground and started praying. The other believers in port Tylon also began to pray. The invisible wave of prayers turned into a powerful force of faith, causing the Sea Temple to emit an invisible but dazzling brilliance.
This process lasted for quite some time.
It also attracted the attention of many forces. The Temple's power seemed to be gathering, and there were faint signs of a breakthrough. If the Sea Temple became a Great Temple, the Sea Goddess' avatar would appear. This was a process of God's blessing. Every Temple would appear when it was upgraded. At the beginning, the Temple would be blessed with God's consciousness. Then, the upgraded Temple would be blessed with God's power. The most iconic of these Temples was the Statue of God. The Statue of God would have the God's consciousness imprinted on it. When the believers prayed, the God would be able to sense them.
There should be no avatar now.
The gods were all busy resisting the energy storm. But the Sea Temple in front of them had indeed been upgraded. It was estimated that it had become one of the few great temples in the coastal area.
Many believers of the Sea Goddess began to gather here.
The figure of the Naga Siren priest slowly walked out. Søren didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the Naga Siren priest in front of him had a divine aura. This aura was a bit like the Chosen of the Sea Goddess, but there was still a big gap. It seemed that after she offered the sacrifice, she was rewarded by the gods. The gifts of the gods to the believers were a very important part of the consolidation of faith.
The priest stood on the high platform in front of the temple, looking at the believers gathered in front of her. Then she turned her eyes to Søren and said slowly, "Human. Come in with me. "
Søren bowed slightly and walked into the temple.
"You have done well."
The Naga Siren priest stood in front of the statue, holding the scepter representing the Sea Priest in her hand. She said in a strange and solemn tone, "You have punished those who have betrayed their faith. You have used blood and death to tell them the price of disobeying the Goddess. You have also proved your loyalty. You have offered the sacrifice that the Goddess wants. "
"You should be rewarded!"
The Naga Siren priest slowly walked in front of Søren, then raised her palm and said, "Kneel."
Søren's expression did not show any hesitation. He just hesitated in his heart, and then he knelt on one knee in front of the statue of the Sea Goddess. He had actually experienced this step several times because this was the real blessing ceremony of the gods. To get the blessing of the gods, you must first express your humility and respect, and prove your value. Then you can get the blessing of the gods. The gods were not noble almsgivers. The blessing of the Misfortune Goddess was an accident. The mysterious woman looked as unpredictable as the Misfortune Goddess.
The priests of the Goddess of Misfortune and the Goddess of Good Fortune were both capricious and capricious.
"Very good."
The Naga Siren priest reached out and pressed on Søren's forehead. She said in a low voice, "Human. You have proven your value. You have used your strength and credibility to maintain the dignity and interests of the Sea Goddess. This is an admirable act, so you are qualified to get the blessing of the Sea Goddess. "
The scepter was gently placed on Søren's shoulder.
Then the Naga Siren priest leaned over and kissed Søren's forehead. She said in a strange sea language, "I bless you on behalf of the Sea Goddess! You will not be attacked by the sea monsters in the sea! You will be blessed by the Sea Goddess! The sea is your home! The waves and storms will stay away from you and your servants! "
"You will become the Sea Goddess's favorite! You can use the power of the Goddess to control the creatures in the sea! "
Divine power began to gather.
The light of blessing appeared, and Søren's body seemed to be shrouded in a blue light. Vaguely, the statue of the Sea Goddess seemed to open her eyes. A line of sight fell on Søren's body, and then gradually disappeared. This was the power of the gods. From now on, Søren would become the Sea Goddess's favorite and the Blessed One. As long as he did not actively attack the sea creatures, most of the sea creatures, including the Naga Sirens, the Sharkmen, the Pirates, and so on, would not take the initiative to attack Søren and his companions.
And he could also communicate and trade with these sea creatures because the Sea Goddess had blessed him. His identity was equivalent to the priest of the Sea Temple.
This was a reward that was difficult to refuse, especially when Søren was preparing to develop in the outer islands.
The light of the divine power gradually dissipated.
A row of data appeared in front of Søren's eyes, and he had an additional background ability:
"Gift of the Sea Goddess [Special Ability]: You have received the gift of the Sea Goddess through your own actions. From now on, you will greatly reduce your chances of encountering danger in the sea. Whether it is storms, waves, whirlpools, or all kinds of fierce and dangerous sea creatures, they will not easily take the initiative to attack you because of the blessing of the Sea Goddess. You or your fleet will be blessed by the Sea Goddess when sailing in the sea. You will have the opportunity to communicate and trade with other creatures that believe in the Sea Goddess.
From now on, most of the sea creatures, including the sea monsters, will see you as neutral. And you have received a spell-like ability under the blessing of the Sea Goddess, which can be used to control other creatures in the sea. "
This was the most basic blessing.
The blessing of the Sea Goddess did not increase the attributes by much, but it was equivalent to having an extra amulet in the sea.
Moreover, it could also reward an additional spell-like ability.
"Dominate Sea Creatures [Spell-Like Ability]: You have the blessing of the Goddess of the Sea. You are the one who is favored by her, which allows you to mobilize a special power. You will be able to control most marine creatures. The effect of this type of spell is similar to [Seduction of Marine Creatures]. The level of controlling normal marine creatures cannot exceed your profession level, and the level of controlling marine monsters cannot exceed half of your profession level. The difficulty of this spell is related to your Charisma. "[Once per day.]
This was a special spell-like ability.
It was equivalent to the unorthodox 'Charm Sea Creatures', but the effect of the spell was stronger than the Sharkman's Charm.
It had a difficulty test, which was determined by charm.
The level of ordinary sea creatures you can control cannot exceed Søren's level, and the level of special sea monsters you can control cannot exceed half of Søren's level.
This was the power of the Sea Goddess.
This was because 'Charm Sea Creatures' could not control sea monsters. At most, it could control the level of sharks, whales, and giant octopuses.
The blessing ceremony was completed.
The Naga Siren priest looked at Søren meaningfully and said slowly, "Human. Keep the awe of the Sea Goddess in your heart. She will not be stingy with the rewards she gives you. When you decide to give your faith to the Sea Goddess, she will give you more gifts. "
This was a blatant attempt to rope in.
The main believers of the Sea Goddess were concentrated in sea creatures and coastal areas. The value of a quasi-legendary rogue was still amazing.
After all, rogues were proficient in more means than other professions.
Søren leaned over slightly and kissed the back of the priest's hand to express his humility. Because she represented the Sea Goddess at this moment, he said, "I revere the power of the Sea Goddess and thank her for her generosity. When the Sea Goddess needs me, I am willing to give my strength to her."
This was not the language of delivering faith.
It was a bit like a guest. It was more like a relationship of employment and employment. Many temples had such members.
There was a slight dissatisfaction on the priest's face, and then it turned into a smile. She slowly said, "Very good. I hope you remember today's vow. When the Sea Goddess needs you, you will give your strength to the Sea Goddess. Otherwise, the Sea Goddess will take back her gift. "
The blessings of the gods were not so easy to get!
Søren had known this for a long time. Otherwise, he would not have lost the blessing of the Queen of Spiders.
However.
Since he could get it now, he naturally had to make good use of it.
No one knew what would happen in the future. If something really happened, at most, he would not admit it. The Age of Turmoil was coming. He did not believe that the Sea Goddess would be bored enough to kill him over such a trivial matter. As for ordinary tasks, Søren would not be too resistant. Anyway, if he wanted to develop overseas, he could not do without the help of the Church. With the Sea Temple behind him, even if he had to fight with the Storm Church, it would not be a problem.
After all, the Sea Goddess was also a great divine power!
Søren had her support. It was equivalent to directly entering the inner circle of all sea creatures. He did not even need special reputation recognition tasks. He could coexist peacefully with these sea creatures. When necessary, he could trade with them to make money. The most important thing in this world was still power. If he did not have the strength of a quasi-legendary, the Naga Siren priest would not have spent so much money to win him over.
Now.
The most important thing was to take advantage of this opportunity to accumulate more strength.
