Chapter 518 Heart of the Ocean (End)
Talos and Gruumsh are the same person, or... the same god!
When Talos told Caesar this secret, his first reaction was of course suspicion. In the records of giant dragons, humans, and even other creatures, there has never been a god who can put on the coat of other gods. One body has two sides, and mastering factions is completely irrelevant. vocation and divine power. But after all, that is the God understood by mortals. I am afraid that only they themselves can clearly explain the boundaries of the true God's ability.
"Hush."
Talos seemed very satisfied with the hesitant expression of the black dragon at the moment, he squinted his eyes and said, "You are the first creature to know about this, please keep it secret."
"Talos and Gruumsh are the same person." Caesar chewed on the other's words over and over again, staring at the other's empty eye sockets: "How did you do it?"
"How did you do that?"
"I know that gods can rob each other of their priesthood and divine power, but it is very difficult to kill them, not to mention the main gods like Talos and Gruumsh, but you actually have all the priesthood and divine power of each other, which proves that another god has Completely dead, how did you do it?"
"Oh, your thinking is too complicated, young dragon." The floating god smiled kindly: "There is no bloody and dark devouring and snatching. Talos and Gruumsh are both me, and I have been like this since the original year."
"Suddenly felt a little interesting."
Caesar shook his head, turned around slowly, and the huge dragon shape slowly transformed into a small humanoid shape: "My territory has not entertained guests for a long time, come in and sit down?"
A dark red side door hidden in the wall opened, and the legendary Gnoll waited with low eyebrows. The incarnation of Talos followed Caesar and walked in. There was a large table in the elegant black and turquoise hall. The bookshelves are full of materials and documents, and the wine cabinet in the corner is filled with various Northland wines.
It is full of human breath, not at all like the giant dragon's dwelling covered with gold and treasures in the world's description. Just looking at the densely packed files and reports on the bookshelf, one would think that there is a diligent king living here.
Caesar sat at the table and signaled Talos to sit casually: "You tell me this, it can't be because of a boring desire to talk, what's the matter?"
"What I said before." Talos took out the wine glass and wine from the void space, and poured a glass for Caesar, as if he was the owner of this place: "Help me attract the attention of the goddess of magic to the main material world , I can leave that eyeball to you, it has all the memories of me as Gruumsh, and it will be of great use to you."
"It's already mine.
said Caesar.
"Really?" Talos smiled, "I don't know if it has told you, as a part of my body, as long as it appears on the same plane as me, I can recycle it at any time, even if it is just an incarnation. It can be done. Want to try it?"
"I'm thinking about it."
Caesar lowered his head and played with the goblet in his hand, golden ripples reflected in his eyes: "But forget it, if this is the condition, I can help you once."
"Not once, but an alliance." Talos said: "I appreciate you, young dragon, we can be allies and face the common enemy together."
Caesar continued to stare at the wine in the glass, with some hesitation in his eyes. He was always wary of Talos, the ruler of the heart of fury, the master of storms and natural disasters, the main god of the orc pantheon... This guy is by no means cheap Light, if you want to stand with Him, you must have the consciousness to burn yourself, but Talos is right, they do have a common enemy, the enemy of Talos and Gruumsh is the sun god Pelor, and the enemy of Caesar is Ramorahan, descendant of Pelor, is... the empire on which the sun never sets.
"Isn't the chaotic and evil alliance just stabbing each other in the back? I heard that you have stabbed a lot of people, whether it was Gruumsh or Talos." Caesar said lightly: "Even the races under your command can give up. God, is it really trustworthy?"
"You mean the Elradian orcs?"
Talos drank wine: "There is nothing to be ashamed of. We lost the battle and bear the consequences of the defeat: the orcs were cursed by humans, and the orc gods could never appear in this plane. After that, I can only show up as Talos and order the deep-sea races to continuously invade the land, so as to attract the attention and troops of the human race, so that the orcs will leave behind fire, so that they will not be completely extinct on this plane... Under the surveillance of Pelor Now, that's all I can do."
Caesar didn't ask what happened to the dispute between the Akalonian orc dynasty and the Deep Sea Kingdom. It was probably Talos' trick. Long-term peace will make these fighting races decay. In order to maintain vigorous fighting power, he let these two races bite and fight each other, just like raising Gu.
It is really a practice that the evil gods have always loved. Black Dragon sneered in his heart and said, "Tell me, I want to know why the Deep Sea Kingdom appears here."
"The empire on which the sun never sets sent envoys to the deep sea, not only for peace talks, they also promised to release the aboleth Kermog captured hundreds of years ago, just to allow the deep sea kingdom to attack the north. Of course, the sea clan has no reason to refuse this condition .”
While speaking, Talos took out a cigar from the void, cut it up and lit it: "Would you like one, a good product from the world of Saraph."
"This thing is also available in the Northland." Caesar glanced at it, "Sea Clan probably don't know that their main god likes this, right? Otherwise, they have to use this as a sacrifice."
"I know what you're thinking, do you think the gods are old antiques sitting on the throne?"
Talos curled his lips, but did not explain, but brought the topic back to the matter just now: "After you caused the division of the Trade Federation, the Empire on which the sun never sets did not intend to stand by. After collecting all available information, they decided to Let the deep-sea country attract your attention first, and at the same time purge the northern forces of the trade federation as quickly as possible, cutting off the tentacles from the north to the central part. I estimate that the great purge has already begun."
"It's a pity that they can't do what they want." Caesar smiled lightly. There are many people helping him. Even without mobilizing the power of the empire itself, the black dragon can easily control the situation in the middle: "It's just that I didn't expect that, as a Lord God, you actually pay attention to these, these are all trivial things to you."
"I'm concerned about the gods who are paying attention to these," Talos said. "It's a bit confusing, but you should understand."
Caesar nodded: "Where there is war, there are gods, just like a flock of crows waiting for carrion."
"What a metaphor!" Talos clapped his hands and praised: "The good gods are full of benevolence and justice, but what is the difference between their hunger for faith and crows."
"Okay, about the Goddess of Magic, I will call you when the time comes." Talos' figure gradually dissipated: "Also, don't take revenge on the Deep Sea Kingdom, we are allies now, keep that Hill Kannas, she It is the favored person of Amberley and Aurul, and it will be useful at that time..."
