Chapter 200: The Fallen God is Worse than a Dog
Amber Xiu didn't want to go against a powerful god, that would be a very suicidal act, but that didn't mean he couldn't listen to the offer from Lady Mist.
What if the Lady of the Mist can produce the IOU that Io wrote to her? Who can say for sure about matters of the gods?
However, Ms. Mist's answer disappointed Amber.
"I have lost my priesthood and cannot provide much help, but I can teach you a kind of illusion named after me."
Amber Xiu frowned and said, "Can this illusion deceive the gods?"
Lady Mist said quickly, "How is this possible? Even the weakest gods are highly resistant to mortal spells, but I guarantee that this is the most powerful illusion."
Amber: ...
Rumor has it that this goddess of fraud is a homebody, a very, very homebody kind of person, so there is this absurd story that the goddess of lies was deceived and then stripped of her priesthood.
Her lies were more like practical jokes than elaborate schemes that would penetrate people's hearts.
Now that she has lost her priesthood, this girl doesn’t even understand the most basic social etiquette.
"I'm sorry, if this is the only benefit, I won't go against the Prince of Lies. The risk and benefit are too disproportionate."
Only a fool would go against the gods for an illusion.
Ms. Misty said calmly, "It's useless for you to refuse. You are in too deep. You have told countless times more lies than others in your life. Even if you don't agree, you will be caught up in this melee sooner or later. I believe you have discovered that in recent years, various talented people have appeared one after another, and powerful people who have been hidden in the world have also come to the fore. The world is becoming more and more chaotic, and wars are becoming more and more frequent, right? Every god is making preparations, and soon it will be a war between the chosen gods!"
Hearing these words, several figures appeared in Amberxiu's mind.
Just as the goddess said, Amber has seen too many geniuses recently.
His student Harvey became a prophecy wizard just by reading the introductory notes written by Ambershu; the paladin Alan Watson, whose self-confidence had obviously collapsed due to the blow from Ambershu, but the Lord of Dawn directly descended to give him psychological counseling and he had an epiphany; on the druid side, there was Brandir Sandar, who entered the legendary realm at the age of 38 and was a genius among geniuses... Even Catherine, a homebody who had lived in seclusion for hundreds of years, followed Ambershu on a journey around the continent because of the changes in Silvermoon High Court.
A turbulent era is about to begin, and in places that Amberxiu cannot see, who knows how many more such talented people are rising.
Ms. Misty continued, "I can sense that you are ambitious to become a god, but have you thought about your own priesthood? Others have gods to help them, what about you? Your teacher, the God of Alchemy, has been badly hurt. Can you really count on him?"
Amber asked: "What do you mean?"
Lady Mist said quickly: "Lies and deception, this is the priesthood that suits you best. I can help you separate this priesthood from Xirik and give it to you intact."
Amber Xiu didn't say anything, but just looked at Ms. Mist and kept smiling.
This fallen god could read his feelings through dreams, so he probably understood what Ambershu meant.
Stripping away the godhood sounds good, but the prerequisite is to first kill this powerful prince of lies, and then you can strip the priesthood of lies and fraud from his corpse.
If Amber could kill a powerful god, would he still be interested in this priesthood?
But what Ms. Mist said was right. Amberxiu really needed to find a direction to work towards. Although becoming a god required opportunities, he needed to be well prepared before the opportunities came, otherwise he would not be able to seize them when they came.
Lady Mist clearly sensed Amber's refusal, but she did not give up. Instead, she continued to say to Amber: "I really don't have anything good to give you right now, but I don't need you to fight Xirik in person. I also know that mortals are generally unlikely to pose a threat to gods. I just need you to wait for an opportunity.
"When the time comes, stand by me and help me get revenge. Before that, I will do everything in my power to help you. Aren't you going to transform your pet into a dragon? Dreams are also a kind of lie. I can help your pet enter the dream without any druid's prayers."
Amber Xiu said helplessly: "If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble, but now that I have received the prayer, your help is too unnecessary."
All in all, this fallen goddess still wants to get something for nothing, and let Amber take the responsibility of killing gods without giving any benefits.
"So what do you want? I can give you everything I have."
Amber thought for a moment, then asked, "Why can you enter my dream?"
"It was not me who entered your dream, but the dream that enveloped this forest was originally created with my remains. After I was stripped of my priesthood, my broken body was found by Azuth, who buried me here. I don't know how many years it took me to regain some sanity. When I woke up, I found that the druids had settled here and set up a powerful magic barrier. Part of this magic barrier was made up of part of my body."
The fallen gods are worse than dogs, they can’t even keep their corpses.
Amber Xiu then asked: "Doesn't the Oak Father know about this?"
This is a place blessed by this god, and using the body of a fallen god to form a barrier is really a bit suicidal. However, this also explains why the dream barrier cannot even resist the undead. After all, it is a barrier constructed with the body of a god. If you want to be immune to this power, you can only rely on the blessing of another god.
"Except for Io, no god is omniscient and omnipotent. Silvanus only lends his power to these druids. Silvanus may not care how they use the power of the gods. Even if he knows that this is my body, in Silvanus's eyes, I have already died."
Amberxiu didn't quite believe this statement, but since it was related to Ms. Mist's own safety, she herself felt that there was no problem, and Amberxiu wouldn't ask too many questions. He just wanted to know that she could play a role.
Amber continued to ask: "That is to say, you can enter the dream of any druid, and you can also control whether this barrier is effective for a specific person, right?"
Lady of the Mist replied, "I can indeed affect the effect of the barrier in a small area, but if I drastically modify the effect of the barrier, those druids will find out."
"Okay, that's enough. I promise you, if there is a chance to avenge you in the future, I will try to do it, but don't expect me to take the initiative to provoke the Prince of Lies. I can do things that take advantage of others' misfortunes, but don't expect me to take the lead. If you can agree to this, we will be partners."
"Sure, no problem at all!" Ms. Mist agreed eagerly.
"Can you teach me the illusion you mentioned before?" Amber said with a smile.
Lady Mist suddenly felt a little strange. Amber seemed to have promised something, but it seemed that he had not promised anything. In the end, she still had to give away everything. Is this what it feels like to ask for help? She has been a god for too long and has forgotten what it feels like to ask for help from others.
But the Lady of the Mist had no choice. It was not easy to find a gifted liar like Amberxiu in the world. Even when the Lady of the Mist was still a god, none of her followers could compare to Amberxiu. Since Amberxiu appeared here, it meant that this was fate.
Ms. Mist has no other choice. Even if she is being cheated, she has no choice but to go all the way.
After an unknown amount of time, Amber woke up from his sleep.
Looking out the window, the night was still so dark, and it seemed that he had only been lying there for more than ten minutes. But in the dream, the flow of time was completely different, and he seemed to have spent several days in it. Such a long time was enough for him to learn the illusion that Lady of the Mist taught him - Leila's real illusion.
Amberxiu was seen chanting a spell slowly, and a faint magical light appeared, then quickly dissipated.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Then, another Monger Gray River appeared beside Amber Xiu. This stand-in looked just like the real thing, could walk and move, and could have simple conversations. If someone reached out and touched it, they could feel its temperature and elasticity, just like a real person.
Amber's real body is completely invisible and no one can see it.
After all, it is a spell created by gods, and its effect cannot be compared with ordinary illusions.
With this illusion effect and Amber's spellcasting ability, perhaps even the holy light barrier of the Ryan Empire could be deceived by Amber.
This illusion alone is already a huge profit, not to mention that the dream barrier of Cuimeng Youlin has become a back garden.
As for killing gods, let's talk about it later. It is impossible for him to kill his way into Xirik's kingdom, but if this god fights with the Lord of Dawn and is beaten to pieces and falls to the mortal world, then he doesn't mind taking advantage of the situation.
As for whether they will fight...a conflict between gods, who knows.
Amber opened the door and walked outside.
The chaos in Cuimeng Youlin seemed to have not subsided yet. In the distance, one could still hear dragon roars and the sounds caused by various spells.
"What did Catherine do? It was such a big noise."
Amber was very curious, so he simply flew towards the chaos.
A moment later, Amber saw two giant dragons biting each other in the sky.
A green dragon and a silver dragon, tearing each other apart with the most brutal and primitive claws and teeth.
Amberxiu quietly flew towards Catherine's tree house castle, and just saw Catherine standing on the balcony, watching the fight between the two dragons nervously.
Ambersoo landed next to Catherine and lifted the invisibility effect.
Catherine was startled by Amber's sudden appearance, and she almost drew the dagger from her waist to stab him.
Amber Xiu quickly said: "Calm down! It's me!"
Catherine said in surprise: "It's you?! How is this possible?!"
The invisibility of the mage is not invincible. At the legendary level, the ability to detect invisibility is very common. Catherine is wearing magic equipment that can detect invisibility. But these magic equipment are completely ineffective. Isn't the invisibility performed by Amber Xiu too powerful?
Did he hold back before, or did he become stronger after not seeing him for a few days? Amber Xiu naturally did not answer this question, and asked Catherine, "What's going on with the two dragons in the sky? You are making a big fuss."
Catherine said awkwardly: "Actually, this has nothing to do with me. The two people in heaven are Brandir Sandar and his father."
Amber Xiu said in surprise: "Ah? The father and son are fighting? Don't tell me that his father has fallen in love with you and wants to marry you to be Brandir's stepmother."
Catherine glared at Amberxiu angrily, and then said, "What are you thinking about? Brandir Sandar suddenly came to me and said that he had thought it through and wanted to join Silvermoon High Court and serve the elves. Of course I couldn't agree to it. Who would have thought that his father would come and the two of them quarreled for a few words and then started fighting."
Amber: ...
This love-brained man really wants to marry into the family? (End of this chapter)
