Chapter 1,214 The Imperial City of Nineveh

In the lineage of gods in Midland, the most powerful god is Apollos, the recognized lord of guardianship. The reason why this boss is strong is because he is the only god who can use his entire body and freely enter and leave the main plane of the Lost Land. Moreover, when the protection conditions are met, there are two characteristics: getting stronger with more battles and more courageous with more frustrations. There is no upper limit. In other words, no one or God can touch His upper limit so far.

As long as the strength of other gods, evil gods, and demons is above a certain threshold, if they want to enter the mysterious land, they can only cut themselves and lower their strength. If you want to force your way in, the Lord of Guardians will come out to say hello every minute and beat you to death.

Under the Lord of Guardians, the first echelon of powerful powers are the eight Lords of Power. However, a very interesting point is that the most widely accepted belief in all areas above and below the ground is the Church of the Three Holy Lights, namely the three gods of protection, justice and life. However, the strength of Justice and Life is inferior to the eight Lords of Power.

This seems to be contrary to the core of the war of religious beliefs, which is the struggle for the power of belief among believers.

But looking at it from another aspect, we can understand why the eight Lords of Power are the strongest echelon under the Lord of Guardians. Just because in the Lost Land, from magicians to Warcraft, from magic towers to magic arrays, there are countless magic creations or magic materials with powers, the eight powers are widely 'used', rather than just believed in.

It can be said that the eight powers are the basis of many extraordinary powers in Lost Land. Regardless of whether the magician believes in God or not, he must use the eight powers, otherwise he cannot cast spells. Warcraft do not believe in gods, or in other words, they do not contribute more faith than Homo sapiens. But if they want to use their innate abilities, they can't avoid the eight powers.

Elemental creatures from other elemental planes may transform and operate the special energy of their respective planes on their own territory; but when they come to the Lost Land and are not transformed into powers for use, they can only spend several times or dozens of times the price. Come and perform magical effects on your own territory, which can be done as easily as eating and drinking.

In contrast, the basis of faith is extremely limited. In most cases, humans do not believe in orc gods or elven gods, and the same goes for other races. Those in the righteous camp will not believe in those in the evil camp, and vice versa.

Moreover, there are only so many Homo sapiens and monsters that can provide the power of faith. If any god gets more, the other gods will get less. No god can monopolize the majority. Not to mention that most people do not have a single belief, but a wide range of polytheistic beliefs.

For example, when a farmer is farming, he will pray to the God of Agriculture; when he is sick, he will pray to the Lord of Life; when facing a military disaster, he will pray to the God of War; when he needs to protect his family, he will pray to the Guardian. The Lord prays. Maybe some gods have deeper faith, while some gods just say a few words when needed.

There are very few fanatics who truly believe in only one god and exclude other gods. There are so few that every fanatic can receive many gifts from the god, and sometimes they are protected like protected animals. Of course, if you die, you will definitely be taken to your own kingdom of God, giving the other party a chance to continue serving you.

Thinking about this, the purpose is to think clearly about one thing: what kind of concept should the selection of the ninth power be, so that it is possible to reach such a height.

Play with light and darkness, and wrap up the power of their faith with a concept that is superior to many good gods and evil gods? In this way, not to mention the ninth power, the tenth power has been integrated.

...Believe it or not, Fen turned black on the spot, and the Demon King reappeared, killing the person and team who planned to do this to ashes.

Even if the Demon King doesn't show up, someone who wants to trample all the existing gods on the ground and make them call him daddy feels that as long as there is even a hint of this intention, he will be turned into a scum in seconds. When the gods come to this world, they may be lost or weakened, but they are not impossible.

Then build a magic network and shape yourself into the male version of Mystra in the Lost Land? This is the possibility that Lin has thought about the most, but there are several inherent obstacles that cannot be overcome.

First, establishing the Magic Network means destroying the existing magic system. Regardless of the difficulty of the operation, the eight masters of power cannot sit idly by. After all, what someone is going to do is take away their jobs. Therefore, there will definitely be a protracted and time-consuming war, and it will be the kind that affects the entire Lost Land and will not end until the end.

Secondly, assuming that he succeeds and props up the concept of the magic network and it is widely used, then the eight masters of power will definitely decline. So although he successfully established a concept of comparable power, he destroyed the original eight, which was contrary to the purpose of establishing the Ninth Almighty. Such success is no different from failure.

These two congenital flaws doomed the 'Magic Network' to be a failed idea in the Lost World. Then among everything Lin knew, there was only one that had a chance to become the ninth power, and that was money.

Compare the two fatal flaws of the 'Magic Network'. If the Goddess of Gold Coins strives to reach the top, she will inevitably encounter resistance from other gods, but this can only be regarded as the right thing to do. If the total amount of faith is like a piece of cake, if someone eats a bigger bite, the amount that others can share will be reduced.

But this is not like the establishment of the magic network, which will break the balance of the gods and trigger an endless war. The challenges that the Gold Coin Goddess will face will only be of low intensity and small scale. Because the concept of using money has nothing to do with the gods, and they can all coexist. As long as this can be proven, the gods will not do thankless things and target another god.

Likewise, challenges from the eight Lords of Power will be minimal or even non-existent. Because there is no conflict of interest between the two parties, or in other words, there is still room for cooperation. This is the same with all gods. But before that, the being sitting on the gold coin godhead must first prove that he is qualified to cooperate with other gods, and that cooperation can bring about a win-win situation.

However, before all this is implemented, the main premise is: "Where is the temple of the broken goddess?"

The one complaining was Azad, who was wearing a bright red phoenix robe. This jacquard made from someone's home is of course not as good as the phoenix robe worn by the queen of the Qing Dynasty in her hometown, but it is also the continuation of the bride's bright red wedding dress since the Ming Dynasty. To put it simply, it is extremely gorgeous, compared to the monotonous level of Midi's clothing.

He is obviously a man, but he wears a woman's wedding dress...well, someone has not wanted to complain about this little problem for a long time. Anyway, the Midi natives didn’t know what kind of person that gorgeous red Hanfu was supposed to be worn on.

But the person who wore it put a pony bun on himself, put in three golden phoenix hairpins, put blush on his face, and rouge on his mouth. He made himself look like a fish and a duck, and then he even showed off! Someone is doing all sorts of things... Others don't understand, but I understand.

Lin would never admit that the first time he saw Azad dressed in this outfit, he actually felt moved. But the cold that followed was like a lingering nightmare. Seeing the culture of my hometown being so ruined by this guy, I really want to kill him. However, if you can’t win, you can only let him go...

Compared to someone wearing a black basalt robe and Azad in a bright red phoenix robe, what is more eye-catching is the gorilla demon incarnation following behind them, wearing revealing clothing and carrying a strong abyss simple style—— Starina. This eldest sister, who was over two meters tall, did not care at all that she was in one of the most well-prepared cities in the world. She did not hide her origins and just used her body to walk on the street.

But I don’t know whether her human-like beauty is too disguised, or whether people are always attracted to beautiful things and lose their alertness to danger. Anyway, the gorilla demon who loves to cry and loves to follow had to follow him on this trip. And when she came to the human world, the capital of one of the five great empires, she was actually walking on the street in broad daylight.

Since the people of the Gwana Empire can allow a demon to roam the streets, why should Lin worry about them. Besides, some people can also feel that with a transvestite and a devil girl, he has become the public enemy of men. If those hostile eyes could penetrate people, I'm afraid someone's body would already be riddled with holes.

But these people probably don't know that a certain leading party that can't find a way out is on the verge of breaking out. Speaking of which, it's someone's fault to expect that a person who does things as he pleases and adapts his actions to the situation can be as observant as a detective. And since I have never gone out with this guy, someone actually doesn’t know that this guy is a road idiot who can’t distinguish between east, west, north and south.

Not to mention that His Highness, the Fourteenth Prince, was being led around in his family's imperial capital. Lin also took this opportunity to take a good look at the place he came to for the first time, the capital of an empire and one of the most prosperous cities in the Lost Land.

The architectural style here is different from Lin's memory of the earth, and it is not the kind of weird buildings that can only be seen in science fiction themes. Rather, it is a combination of various styles, giving birth to an architectural image unique to the Gwana Empire.

In the Imperial City of Nineveh, there were no row upon row of buildings, and the houses were all separated. All houses have their own small courtyard, or the courtyard includes a house, or the house includes a courtyard.

No house is made of simple green tiles and pink walls, or is made of red bricks with orderly layers, or is made of stones, orderly in the chaos. Each house has its own characteristics. The window sills and rain covers are all carefully carved. There are even more types of roofs and eaves, including domes, conical roofs, high triangular ridges, and flat rooftops.

Some houses will have gargoyle carvings on the four corners of their roofs as protection. And some gargoyles are not just stone sculptures. The power fluctuations emitted by the core magic stone show that when necessary, these gargoyles will fly up, wave their claws, and take advantage of the weight of the stone statues to repel incoming enemies.

If Lin had to comment on the architectural style he saw, it would be that he felt like he had arrived at the United Nations.
