Chapter 959

~8 min read 1,472 words

Damn it, I've been tricked! Aojiaer reacted instantly and glared at Silver Coin.

If Silver Coin hadn't added the last sentence, Aojiaer wouldn't have been sure. But Silver Coin's last sentence, "the spirits in your heart," not only showed Silver Coin's sinister intentions but also showed their understanding of their "spirits." Even the dialogue routine might have been deliberately guided. Damn it, I've been set up.

Spirits are inner beliefs, a group cognition of a certain image, a common faith of a group of people, and also the source of their power.

Without consensus, there is no spirit, and there is no power.

To some extent, spirits are very similar to gods, so Aojiaer wants to slaughter gods, because gods occupy their ecological niche.

Even if you don't slaughter all the gods, you must make them register obediently. As long as the gods are willing to register, they are not omnipotent gods, but a certain restricted power registered in the books.

And the person who registers them becomes the more powerful force that restricts them. So Aojiaer attaches great importance to the title of "God Registrar." As long as a large number of people form the same consensus, why can't the God Registrar become another spirit?

It's just that I didn't expect Silver Coin to use spirits to set me up. Aojiaer couldn't even refuse, because he proposed it. Although he was the one who was tricked, he wanted to use Silver Coin's rhetoric to counter the other party, but he couldn't deny that these words came out of his own mouth.

People can deceive the whole world, and even like Anthony, can deceive even gods, but they can never deceive the beliefs in their own hearts. So Aojiaer must take out an equally important piece of news to exchange.

What news could be more important than the light point fortress being captured? These people actually already captured the light point fortress? When?

Aojiaer thought of a few possibilities. First, the other party captured the light point fortress before contacting them. Second and third possibilities were the two times the light point went out.

Originally, everyone guessed that the light point fortress might have been tired before it went out. But if the light point fortress had already been captured by them, then their attack would definitely have an impact on the light point fortress. Then these two extinctions were very likely caused by the attack.

Aojiaer took a deep breath. These three possibilities had three different meanings.

The first possibility represents that these people have the ability to penetrate deep into the Boundless Great Void and launch attacks. This is a huge challenge for logistics, long-range navigation, spatial positioning, and energy reserves.

If you walk ten kilometers in the desert, you only need to bring a bottle of water. If you want to walk one hundred kilometers in the desert, it is not just bringing ten bottles of water; you also need to bring food, tents, fuel, clothing, etc. The supplies carried are dozens or hundreds of times that of ten kilometers.

The Boundless Great Void is like a desert. The difficulty of penetrating for ten days and penetrating for one hundred days is not ten times, but dozens or hundreds of times. If these people have the ability to penetrate deep into the Boundless Great Void, I need to re-evaluate their strength.

Unless...

"Are you people of the Grand Speaker?" Aojiaer was shocked. Only the Mourning Undead soldiers in the hands of the Grand Speaker could possibly penetrate deep into the Boundless Great Void without needing too many supplies.

Silver Coin smiled calmly: "What are you talking about? My lord, Duke of Holy Light, was personally conferred by Her Majesty the Empress Feilie."

The little loli, who had taken off her heavy armor and was wearing a fluffy dress, was dozing off. Hearing others mention her name, she opened her eyes in a daze and asked: "Are they here? Is it time to fight?"

"No, keep sleeping. I'll call you when we arrive." Aojiaer said.

"Oh." Little loli Feilie turned over and quickly fell asleep.

Aojiaer looked at Silver Coin seriously. Although Silver Coin denied it, he suspected even more in his heart that these were the Grand Speaker's people, otherwise they wouldn't use the title he conferred on them to prevaricate.

He had always suspected that they were one of the six Speakers of the Holy Light Alliance and had never thought of the Grand Speaker, because according to intelligence, the Grand Speaker had disappeared for many years.

However, if the Grand Speaker's disappearance was because of the other Speakers? Then it seems reasonable for the Grand Speaker to borrow his power to get rid of the traitors.

The logic is self-consistent. It seems I guessed right. Aojiaer silently gave himself a thumbs up and began to think about what information was valuable but not very "important."

Value is a must, at least of the same value as the news revealed by Silver Coin, otherwise it won't pass the "spirit" test.

But it cannot be very important, otherwise Aojiaer would feel he lost out, so he needs some information that is valuable but not very important to him.

Clearing these two points, Aojiaer immediately thought of something and said: "The Grand Speaker of the Holy Light Alliance was driven out and drifted here before establishing the Holy Light Chamber of Commerce."

Is the news about the Grand Speaker of the Holy Light Alliance valuable? Of course it is valuable, but is it important? Anyway, it is not important to Aojiaer.

Aren't you people of the Grand Speaker? I will pick the news about the Grand Speaker to tell you, and see if you will be suffocated by the news you already know.

"Oh? Impossible, right? The establishment of the Holy Light Chamber of Commerce is a very long time ago. You wouldn't be lying, right?" Silver Coin said in surprise.

Aojiaer smiled. Pretending to be really like it, but it may also be that the people under the Grand Speaker don't know the Grand Speaker's origin. Thinking of this, Aojiaer said: "I'll give you another piece of news, the Grand Speaker is an immortal lich."

Silver Coin nodded calmly. He was not very surprised by this news. It is reasonable for the Grand Speaker who can manufacture Mourning Undead soldiers to be an undead creature.

Not pretending anymore? Looking at Silver Coin's appearance, Aojiaer was even more convinced that these were the Grand Speaker's people, otherwise how could they not be shocked by such things?

"Okay, it's your turn. Since you have already snatched the light point fortress, then organize its origin and give it to me." Aojiaer said. This was their original agreement.

"This is a Void Fortress belonging to the Church of Light, called the Holy Heavenly Kingdom. Its length, width, and height are..." Silver Coin introduced the origin of the Holy Heavenly Kingdom and the Church of Light. These are historical facts, and Silver Coin just introduced them truthfully.

Listening to such a detailed introduction, Aojiaer couldn't find any loopholes and could only pick on it: "These are all what you said, and it sounds similar to the Lord of Radiance, both are beliefs in light. Do you have any physical evidence?"

Silver Coin was prepared. Holding a Holy Crystal, he said: "Holy Crystal, a condensate of the power of light. The power inside has additional damage to undead creatures. You find an undead creature to test it, and you will know. The light of the Lord of Radiance has no additional damage to undead creatures."

No need to test. Aojiaer saw at a glance that this was indeed not the power of the Lord of Radiance. The information contained in each power is different. Even the same holy light, Ang's light and the Church of Light's light have huge differences. A discerning person can see it at a glance.

God Registrar Aojiaer is a discerning person.

With detailed information and physical evidence, Aojiaer really couldn't see any fakes, so he had to ask: "Then how did it appear here? What method was used to leave the Boundless Great Void? How many similar forces and planes are there in the Great Void..."

A bunch of questions in his heart hadn't been asked yet, and he saw Silver Coin smiling at him, with an expression of seeing a fat sheep: "These questions are not in our agreement. So, for the answers to these questions, what price are you willing to pay?"

Aojiaer's heart skipped a beat: Profiteer...

Before Aojiaer could think about whether to be slaughtered, a report sounded in the cabin: "It's here, it's here, the light point fortress is here."

PS: It's the last day of '23. I wish everyone all their wishes come true.
