Chapter 484
Molek is one of them. This thing likes to eat people, is cruel and bloodthirsty, and looks quite strange.
As for how strange it is...if you go to a Phoenician library or exhibition hall, you should be able to see some restoration pictures, which will definitely shock you.
If this thing is really a god, it would be an evil god, but in fact, according to the relevant records and relics that I have come into contact with many times, it should be a fungus monster. "
"Forehead."
After hearing Feiyue's introduction, Lin struggled to figure out what Molek looked like.
Feiyue continued: "The Phoenicians have not changed at all from ancient times to the present. They are still full of business. At that time, the mainland was quite chaotic, and there were monsters and bandits everywhere, including on the rivers.
This also caused a headache for the Phoenicians who used the river for trade at that time, but Molek had the characteristics of a fungus monster and could use its spores to protect the Phoenicians, so the Phoenicians believed in its identity as a god.
Women and children are provided to it every year to serve as its food.
Until the ancestors of the Holy Empire used the power of dragons to expand their territory and reach the territory of the Phoenicians.
Some Phoenicians wanted to join the empire based on the principle that they could do better business if they could be unified.
Molek, of course, would not allow it, and a schism arose within the Phoenicians.
By that time, Molek's influence on the Phoenicians had begun to diminish.
Afterwards, the Holy Church appeared, exposed Molek's identity, and surrounded him with the Empire.
On the condition that the Phoenicians provide sea trade channels and recruit a large number of sea-level people, the Phoenicians turned to believe in the goddess of creation.
This is the story of the false god Molek. Of course, the Phoenicians' faith is actually very pure. They will believe in whoever can bring them the illusion of stable trade.
Compared with true faith, these are nothing more than self-deceptions of interestists.
Until a thousand years ago, when the current royal family overthrew the old royal family, the remnants of the old royal family were everywhere, and the empire fell into civil strife.
So a human who claimed to be a descendant of the god Molek made himself a queen god of Molek and took advantage of the chaos to recruit troops and stir up trouble.
Not long after, they were chased by the empire's rebels and fled to the Antia Empire.
In order to show its support for the new royal family of the Holy Empire, the Antia Empire agreed to send troops to help the Holy Empire encircle and suppress them.
In the end, the name Molek completely disappeared in the long river of history. "
Rin was still a little confused and couldn't help but ask: "Then what...isn't it a fungus monster? Where did it come from? How can it still breed with humans?"
"Since it is a high-level monster, even fungi can take the form of humans, so there is no reproductive isolation. Can you and Qi Yu have children?"
Rin touched his chin: "It might be fake, just to win over people."
Feiyue poured herself a glass of water, and after taking a few sips, her expression became a bit proud.
"If it's Qi Yu, I can only tell you so much, but... I'm better than her in this!"
After waving to Rin and gesturing for him to bring his face closer, Feiyue continued to educate people in a mysterious tone.
"Actually, that guy is really a descendant of Molek. I have seen the notes of some generals who were judged back then, and they mentioned that this person's abilities were similar to those of Molek at that time.
Of course, this is not the point. The point is that he inherited a large amount of wealth and weapons that Molek had plundered.
This can also explain why his power quickly expanded. Not only was he well-equipped with weapons and equipment, but he was also able to easily escape into Antia under the encirclement and suppression of the empire's elite army.
In fact, Antia did not surround them, but pushed them all the way into the death zone, leaving them trapped to death.
To sum up, it shows that they have very magical old relics on them.
However, these wealth, old relics, magic tools and the like were buried with them in the Desert of Death, leaving behind the legend of Molek's treasure.
No, it can’t be considered a legend. Phoenician City once auctioned a Molek treasure map.
The Death Desert is very dangerous, and no one knows how much treasure is left, so the auction price is not high. I wanted to challenge it at the time, but the buyer disappeared after buying it, and no one could be found. "
Speaking of this, Feiyue suddenly noticed that Rin's expression became very strange, a little ready to move, and a little entangled.
The Night Demon was born with an extraordinary sense of smell and keen intuition for treasures. At that time, his eyes widened and he pointed at Rin.
"You asked this suddenly...and your face changed as soon as you heard about the treasure. Maybe the treasure map is in your hand."
Rin coughed lightly and unfolded the treasure map in front of Feiyue.
"The buyer is gone. Now this thing is in my hands. You can check it out to see if it's genuine."
Feiyue's breathing became rapid and her expression became fanatical. She quickly picked up the treasure map and looked at it carefully.
"The texture is unmistakable. It is made from the bark of the human face tree. The texture is like animal skin, but it is much stronger, and the ink marks left on it will not corrode or fade for thousands of years.
The human-faced tree has become extinct, and the ones that can still survive were thousands of years ago, and Winnie certified it, well, it is confirmed without a doubt. "
Winnie, the world's number one adventurer, is Feiyue's biggest rival. The two have clashed many times on the way to treasure hunting, and they can be regarded as both enemies and friends.
Feiyue was still a little skeptical about someone else finding the Molek treasure map. If it was Winnie, it wouldn't be surprising at all.
"Actually, I'm quite surprised." Rin knocked on the table, "Why didn't she go by herself? I thought it was too dangerous there before, but after investigating her deeds, I found that people who even dared to go to the Shadow Abyss wouldn't Don’t you dare go to the Desert of Death?”
"She almost died in the Desert of Death and lost many comrades, so she is no longer willing to enter the Desert of Death. It makes sense to sell the treasure map."
"……I see."
"She is a half-elf just like Ophelia from your church. She has the talent of sensing plants. She can come and go freely in the abyss.
But in the desert of death where no plants exist, her talent is of no use and she is struggling. "
Feiyue added another sentence, and then said with a proud tone: "But I am different. No matter what the environment is, we Night Demons can handle it with ease."
"Tsk, quite confident."
"So, I want all the conditions mentioned just now, except for one, this treasure map!"
Rin's expression changed and he immediately put his hand on the treasure map.
"The treasure map is mine, but you can join us in the treasure hunt."
"Huh? You mean, you want to follow me to experience? The treasure will be mine?"
Rin was almost amused by these shameless words: "I thought your hypochondriasis had temporarily recovered, but I didn't expect that you would become terminally ill? Stop dreaming, I just want you to hunt for treasure with me, and we will divide the treasure."
"I am nine and you are one."
"Seven three, I'm seven."
"Haha, who is dreaming? You, a rookie in your twenties, actually want to take 70%?
Let me tell you, without me, even if you were protected by your sword master sister, you would not have been able to walk into the Death Desert for a day. Qiyu is now preparing to take back the Demon King's City. How can he have time to accompany you into the desert? moon. "
Lin's expression remained unchanged: "Fifty-five, final price."
Feiyue was a little impatient: "Don't forget that you still have leverage in my hands! Don't push yourself too far."
"Do you know about the Golden Fleece?"
As soon as Rin finished speaking, Feiyue felt as if she was struck by lightning, and after a moment she grabbed his hand forcefully.
"Tell me the news about the Golden Fleece. As long as it's accurate, Desert of Death, I'll help you for free!"
Chapter 118 Thanks to the peeping tom for the gift package
Rin's proud smile was natural, and there was no hint of guilt at all.
If we really talk about it, there is nothing wrong with what he said.
With the current world consciousness favoring him, as well as the unknown mentality of a certain goddess, coupled with the system task prompts, there is a high probability that the Golden Fleece will fall into his hands.
A white wolf with empty gloves, who can’t do this?
"That's natural."
Fei Yue looked him up and down suspiciously, then suddenly narrowed her eyes and asked, "Do you know the origin of the Golden Fleece?"
"Have you forgotten that I still have the position of Holy Son, and I am still a Holy Son guided by the goddess. How could I not know that the Golden Fleece is the goddess's treasure?"
After saying that, Rin frowned slightly. When he mentioned the words "goddess guidance" just now, his head suddenly jumped.
He has been neglecting an extremely important person.
The manager of this world is also the supreme goddess in this world.
Because Lin Wuyue was an evil god, incompatible with the world, and not qualified enough, she asked another goddess to govern on her behalf.
This is the information I asked from Qiuqiu.
This goddess must have sufficient qualifications in all aspects, and she has obtained permissions that Lin Wuyue does not have in this world.
As a manager, would she not know that the world is about to be destroyed?
What even the sages can predict, the goddess must know.
Even if the world was destroyed, she didn't mediate it, which meant that she couldn't intervene at all.
The greatest possibility is that the laws between gods, or the mandatory laws of this world, prevent her from intervening, so the destruction of the old civilization is also due to this.
But this way, there is another huge contradiction.
What is her existence?
If you can't interfere in the world, then what's the point of existence? How can you be called a manager?
No, no, there must be something wrong here.
It's just that Rin's information is completely asymmetric now, and she can't make any reasonable guesses at all, so she can only bury her doubts in her heart.
Feiyue saw him thinking silently and with a deep look on his face. She thought something was wrong with the Golden Fleece, and her heart started to rise.
Rin came back to her senses, met her eager and anxious eyes, and returned to the previous topic.
“According to the records of the Holy See, mankind was born a long time ago and was almost extinct due to the rampant disease and monsters.
The golden fleece represents prosperity and reproduction, so the goddess gave the golden fleece to humans, so that humans could survive and reproduce stably. "
"Yes, that's right, that's it!"
Feiyue's eyes were bright and her voice was slightly trembling: "This word has appeared in many old ruins when explaining the origin of mankind, so this treasure must have really appeared!
It's just that it has never appeared in the world. I guess it is still in some ruins. "
Rin shook his head: "How is it possible? The goddess will not let something with such magical power be left on the road and take it away early in the morning."
"Why?"
"But it's lost now."
Looking at the confused Feiyue, Rin said word by word: "The reason why I know this is because the goddess's oracle retrieved the Golden Fleece for her."
Well, the system mission about the Golden Fleece was given by her. It’s true that it was an oracle.
"...Really or falsely."
"I, the chosen holy son of God, keep my word."
Seeing Rin's determined look, Feiyue opened her mouth and did not continue to refute.
From Feiyue's point of view, no matter how bold Rin was, she would not dare to deceive him in the name of the goddess.
Blinking her dry eyes, Feiyue asked, "You mean, you have a clue to the Golden Fleece?"
"Well, there are some at the moment. When the mirage is over, I will let the church fully investigate this matter."
"Tell me first, what clue?"
Rin glanced at Feiyue with disdain: "Just tell me whether you agree or not?"
Feiyue lowered her head, pondered for a moment, then suddenly patted her head and said: "Since it is something that the goddess lost, she must take it back! Even if I help you get it, it will be gone in the blink of an eye, what good will it do!"
"Isn't it an honor to witness the glory of the artifact in person and to find her beloved thing for the great Goddess of Holy Light?"
Seeing Feiyue's eyes widening and preparing to start a fight, Rin changed the topic: "Of course, the goddess is the most generous, and the church is never stingy. The rewards we receive will be shared equally between the two of us."
Feiyue is still a little confused: "But I am a demon, will your goddess be happy?"
Rin suddenly straightened his face and said seriously: "The goddess's kindness and generosity do not distinguish between races. Although you do not believe in the goddess, she has never rejected the demons and allowed you to multiply on the mainland. Doesn't this explain? What?"
Feiyue opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what expression to show.
Demons never believe in gods. This is the ancestral teaching of history.
In addition, the goddess herself is also the god of light, and her sacred and bright power is essentially in conflict with the attributes of the demons.
Therefore, no matter from the perspective of demons or humans, the goddess prefers humans.
However, she has never intervened in the war between humans and demons, and she was the one who created this place for the demons to live, so they are not hostile at all.
