V8.Chapter 110

The expression of the goddess of agriculture was obviously a little unhappy. 〔network[(

She has paid a lot for her beliefs. Soran's words obviously have a slight denial of all of this. If it was replaced by other more violent gods, she might have turned her face, but she is a unique goddess of agriculture after all. Staring at Sauron, waiting for what he was going to say next.

The goddess of agriculture thought that Sauron would talk about many things at length.

But Sauron didn't do that. He just smiled and sat on the reclining chair in front of the goddess of agriculture, and said calmly, "You should have been to other places, right?"

The goddess of agriculture frowned slightly.

Sauron looked at the beautiful scene around him and smiled, "It's really nice here. It's much more beautiful than my country."

"I have traveled to many places along the way. Some cities have been completely destroyed. Countless people have been displaced, and many people are starving. After crossing the Manau River north of the river, there are bones everywhere, including human beings and other creatures."

"The peace and beauty here is only because the manor owners and nobles prevent the refugees from approaching."

"They were turned away and blocked across the river."

Sauron sighed softly, and then said, "I don't deny your idea. It's just that everything you want to create cannot be created with the current civilization foundation of the material plane."

"If it's just an accident, your idea should be realized here."

"But this is only the Southern Principality, and it is only a trivial place in the entire Continent, and it is a very small piece of land in the material plane."

The Southern Principality is not as big as the South Coast.

This is about one-thirtieth of the area of ​​the Big 6, and in the inconspicuous part of the entire material plane, Arendelle is more than three times larger than here. The influence of the goddess of agriculture has always been limited to this land, and as long as you leave this land, the influence of the goddess of agriculture will drop sharply.

"What do you want to express?" The voice of the goddess of agriculture was a little displeased.

Sauron raised his head to meet her gaze, and said seriously: "You have the most believers in the material plane, and you have also inherited the priesthood of the Mother Earth. But have you ever thought about why you have not been able to advance to the powerful divine power until now?"

Yes.

The goddess of agriculture has always been of medium power.

Although she has the most believers in the material plane, her divine power has still not improved.

If there are only a few hundred thousand followers of Sauron, then the number of followers of the Goddess of Agriculture is at least several million. Basically, all races related to farming have her followers, but such a huge number of followers still cannot allow her to advance to the mighty power. The reason is naturally very simple, that is, although the followers of the goddess of agriculture are very large, the quality is completely inadequate.

The farmers who believe in the goddess of agriculture the most are farmers. This is a very large base, but this base also means that their beliefs are not pious enough.

Every farmer prays to the goddess of agriculture before sowing and harvesting, but that's all there is to it. The number of pan-beliefs is too large, and ten pan-belief farmers cannot compare to one more devout believer. The priesthood of the Goddess of Agriculture and the practice of the church made it impossible for her to cultivate enough mad believers, so even with a huge base, the number of mad believers of the Goddess of Agriculture might not be as good as one-tenth of Sauron's. This is also the reason why the Goddess of Agriculture has not been able to advance. Except for the territory of the City of Harvest, her church in the Southern Principality cannot fully grasp it.

Hearing Sauron's words, the goddess of agriculture couldn't help falling into contemplation.

Sauron continued: "I have passed a lot of places along the way. It can be seen that although there are your temples everywhere, these manor owners and nobles only know what to ask for from you. They believe in you not because they really respect you. , but because you can bring them a good harvest."

"I heard that several oracles of the church have been rejected by the nobles recently?"

The goddess of agriculture issued an oracle, that is, to accept refugees from the outside world, but this oracle was violated by yin and yang and was not implemented at all.

The expression of the goddess of agriculture could not be hung up, and she said in a cold voice: "What on earth are you here for? Is it just to mock me?"

Soren shook his head.

He stood up and walked in front of the goddess of agriculture, then stretched out his palm and said softly: "On the contrary, I came here to seek cooperation, and more importantly, to help you advance to a powerful divine power."

Help yourself?

The goddess of agriculture looked at Sauron suspiciously. Sauron's priesthood was far from her, and she didn't know how Sauron could help her.

"civilization."

Sauron seemed to see the doubts in her heart and said slowly: "Only a strong enough civilization can change all this. Without enough civilization as a foundation, ignorance and barbarism will never realize your ideal."

"And I can help you do that."

The goddess of agriculture laughed when she heard the words, and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Civilization? The civilization of the Arcane Empire?"

"No." Sauron shook his head and said, "It is more rational than the Arcane Empire. What I want to create is a more harmonious civilization, the peaceful coexistence of man and nature. Although I haven't done it yet, I have seen it. How far can I end up doing in the future?"

The goddess of agriculture fell into contemplation.

After a long time, she raised her head and said softly, "What do you want to get? What are you going to give?"

Sauron looked at the other party's eyes and said solemnly: "I need you to form a real alliance agreement with me. What I paid is an oath."

pledge?

The goddess of agriculture raised her head with great interest and said, "What oath?"

Sauron smiled and said seriously: "In the name of the true god, I swear to protect farming!"

be surprised.

The goddess of agriculture raised her head in surprise, and suddenly chuckled playfully: "Are you planning to swear to fight for me?"

Soren shook his head.

He said earnestly: "I swear to protect farming. Maintain farming civilization. Any existence that destroys and threatens farming civilization will be my enemy. I will help you promote agriculture, protect agriculture, and develop agriculture."

"I will be your most steadfast ally, fighting for you when agriculture is threatened!"

The goddess of agriculture fell silent.

After a while, she looked at Sauron hesitantly, and murmured, "Are you serious?"

It's not that she is doubting everything Sauron said, but that she still can't believe it until now, because a god of lawful evil camp, an evil god who holds the power of death and killing, actually agrees with farming so much in her heart. , Sauron couldn't deceive her with lies, but it was the truth that surprised her even more.

"Agriculture is the cornerstone of everything."

Sauron nodded slowly, stretched out his palm again towards the goddess of agriculture, and said calmly, "I'm serious."

A smile emerged.

The goddess of agriculture watched Sauron quietly, and then a smile appeared on her beautiful face. She gently held Sauron's palm and said slowly, "Okay. I promise you."

all the time.

There is no real god of battle in the agricultural gods. Whether it is the goddess of spring water and peace, or the goddess of rivers, or the goddess of sprouts, none of these gods under the goddess of agriculture can fight. The farming civilization itself is very fragile, which is precisely why it needs a strong force to protect it. Wars will destroy farming, plundering will destroy farming, tyranny will destroy farming, and almost all kinds of disasters will bring heavy damage to farming. This is also the reason why the goddess of agriculture can only be placed on the side. She does not want to but has no ability to expand. Prosperous farming is almost always driven by social order, and farming will inevitably weaken when turmoil comes.

Sauron's oath means he will fight to protect farming civilization!

From now on, all races related to nomadic fishing and hunting will be hostile to him, and tyranny, chaos, unrest, and war are also enemies he needs to fight, because these will also destroy farming.

The oath that Sauron made almost meant that he would face all the enemies of the goddess of agriculture.

A golden radiance emerges.

When Sauron reached a contract with the Goddess of Agriculture, the golden radiance of divinity spread, and almost all the gods learned that they had signed an alliance oath. Although neither of the two gods announced the content of the oath, but this The oath that all the gods have induction is at least at the level of the Pantheon, which means that only the oath they make in the name of the true god can happen.

at the same time.

A brief oath also echoed in the ears of other gods.

"With my Sauron's real name, I swear to protect farming!"

Very simple sentence.

But the chain reaction that came was huge. Almost in the blink of an eye, an emblem of a wheat ear suddenly appeared in the temple of all beliefs and services to Sauron in the entire material plane. And in all the temples related to the goddess of agriculture, the emblem representing Sauron also appeared in it.

Offensive and defensive alliance!

This is the highest-level oath of the gods, which means that the two gods have become the most steadfast allies.

within the half plane.

A divine brilliance appeared, and then a woman with a beautiful waterfall-like length appeared in front of her. She first leaned slightly towards the goddess of agriculture, and then smiled and saluted at Sauron: "Shadow dominates Your Excellency."

【Spring Water and Goddess of Peace】-Edas!

A god of weak power, and also the god of the goddess of agriculture, the most hostile god is Mara, the god of hunting. Perhaps because Mara died at the hands of Sauron, she was very friendly towards Sauron.

Immediately afterwards, the brilliance of the other two gods emerged.

After Sauron signed the oath with the goddess of agriculture, her three gods arrived at the first time.

The figures of the goddess of the river and the goddess of sprouts appeared in the half-plane. They nodded slightly to Sauron, and then turned their puzzled eyes to the goddess of agriculture.

All this was completely unexpected!

No one thought that Sauron and the Goddess of Agriculture would suddenly conclude such a high-level offensive and defensive alliance contract!
