Chapter 385 The authority of the gods
Midgart is a weak world, which is the common understanding of the entire Asgard. In addition to the Supreme Master and a few monks from the Secret Order, the individual strength of this world is the weakest among the nine worlds.
About sixty years ago, an organization called the Magical Council appeared. They expanded rapidly and spread magic in secret. Heimdal once paid attention to them for a while. It was a magical organization established by outsiders. He left behind a complete magical heritage and then suddenly left. After that, Heimdal did not continue to pay attention to the organization as he used to.
After all, after the leader who could compete with the Supreme Mage left, the remaining magicians were far from powerful enough. The Magic Council was no longer worthy of his attention. But this time after the man returned, it brought him great shock. There was no doubt that the human being became stronger. So strong that Heimdal could no longer see through his true strength.
Moreover, since his return, Heimdal has no longer been able to peek at everything inside the parliament. A powerful defensive magic blocked his divine eyes. In fact, to be fair, Heimdal believes that that person is already qualified to trade with the gods. But as the pride of being a god, he still makes him think about pretending to be 13. As a result, Lin Xuan exposed it without hesitation.
The request made by Lin Xuan seemed to be just a arrogant and frank statement that he said intentionally or unintentionally, "How much time is left for the gods?" made Heimdal feel strange. The mage in front of him seemed to be hinting at something?
Whether it is the Eternal Fire or the seemingly unintentional complaint, it all vaguely implies a word that Asgard does not want to mention. 'Dunner of Gods'.
Lin Xuan did not wait for Odin's reply, but another figure appeared in front of him. He was dressed in dark green, a typical European image, with a wicked smile on his lips. Lin Xuan recognized the first time that the person was Asgard and the second prince, Loki. Of course, the one in front of him was just an illusion, and the real Loki was at Asgard at this time.
"I'm honored to meet you, Prince Rocky. Is there anything I can serve you?"
"You know exactly what I want, a foreigner. Give it to me."
"I believe you heard my conditions. So..."
"You are already the strongest existence in your world. But in the eyes of the gods, you are still just an ant. I will say the last time, give it to me."
"I'm so sorry, the ants don't understand what you said. So, are you going to condescend and trample on me to death?"
Lin Xuan's tone began to become dangerous. Several spiritual magic in his consciousness were already preparing. As long as Loki dared to say something arrogant, his spiritual magic would trace Loki's essence through his illusion.
Loki didn't say anything, just looked at Lin Xuan quietly. Finally, he smiled slightly, and a ball of flame appeared in his hand.
"You can't get the eternal fire. This is a ball of flame that is captured on the eternal fire. It should be enough for you."
"Okay, although it's a bit different from what I imagined. But I can accept this exchange. But before the exchange, I can ask. Are I trading with Asgard or Prince Rocky now?"
“Is there any difference?”
"Of course there is. If it's a deal with Asgard, it's over now. If it's a deal with Prince Rocky, we can talk about something else."
Interesting, a foreigner. You have successfully inspired my curiosity. I have a premonition that you may have to talk about something related to me next."
"I'll correct it first. It's not that I want to say, but another transaction. Although I am not proficient in alchemy as a magician, I am convinced of the equivalent exchange advocated by alchemy. So..."
"It's interesting. It seems that you are quite confident in your information. Let's talk about what you want first. I want to confirm whether I'll offer a starting price. After all, your asking price is really a bit high."
"Maybe I have some businessman nature in my bones. But I don't reject it. I just want to know some very simple things for the gods. For example, how are your clergy determined?"
Haha, interesting. You are peeking at the mystery of becoming a god. Do you know what that means?"
"To be honest, I'm not interested in becoming a god. But I'm still quite interested in the process."
Lin Xuan has always been very curious that Asgard's gods have all kinds of clerical responsibilities, including god kings, thunder, lies, death, etc. But how did this clerical responsibilities be obtained? Why do they say that they are Thunder God or Thunder God? What steps do they need to go through to obtain various authority?
"Because the World Tree. The fruit of the World Tree is the source of the authority of the gods."
"World Tree? I thought that was just a description. Is there really something like the World Tree?"
"Of course there is, but it is not a tree that you humans understand. In fact, it is closer to the existence of a rule. A bond that connects the nine worlds. A thing that exists between energy and concepts. The will, beliefs, dissipation of spiritual power, etc. of the creatures in the nine worlds will be collected by the world tree. Then it condenses into the 'fruit' of various attributes. This is the source of authority of the gods."
"You told me this secret so happily. This gave me a bad premonition. So, what's wrong with the World Tree?"
"In fact, there is no problem on the surface. But it is no longer a result. Thor and I are the last generation of gods with authority. Since then, no new gods have been born in the nine worlds. I think you already know what this means, right? Well, I think I have said enough. Now you can tell your news. It is best to satisfy me, otherwise I will let you see the wrath of Prince Asgard."
"Of course, I said that I advocate equivalent exchange. So, Prince Rocky, do you want to know your background?"
"I am the prince of Asgard, this is a well-known question. What do you want to say?" Loki's tone already had some dangerous element. But Lin Xuan was unmoved at all.
"Of course you are the prince of Asgard. But that doesn't mean that your bloodline matches your identity. I know I can't convince you to believe my answer. Fortunately, I know there is a way to prove my words. I know that he is in Odin's treasure house, go to touch it, and then everything will be revealed.
