A Western fantasy journey that began with Game of Thrones - Chapter 299 Faith
The fleet that welcomed the envoys continued to sail, but the atmosphere was completely different from before.
No matter what emotions these ironmen had before, whether it was awe, worship, or fear, now they have become excited.
Talking with people excitedly, thinking excitedly, working excitedly, walking around excitedly…
At this moment, no one cares whether the ironman named Bomond was killed by the ghost, even his subordinates and friends don’t care much. It’s not that they have no feelings, but something more important happened–
Although there is no explanation, what happened on the deck has silently proved one thing, that is, the legend has come!
The ironmen firmly believe that they will enter the flowing water palace of the Drowned God after death, but no one can be sure of this because no one has seen it.
It’s like people believe in gods, but no one has ever seen it.
In this case, it is impossible to say that there is no doubt in their hearts, but the education they have received since childhood makes this doubt in their hearts weak and inconspicuous, and they may not even notice it at all.
However, when the souls after death emerged and went back into the water, when the facts appeared before their eyes, when they understood that the truth was indeed so, this doubt disappeared immediately, and they were all quite excited-
Since they could really enter the Drowned God’s Palace of Water after death, what else did they have to worry about?
Facts have proved that death is not a complete death!
Death is not scary at all!
The Ironmen are warlike and bloodthirsty, and many people hold this idea. Even the Ironmen sailors of the entire fleet are very excited, and some even can’t sleep.
This effect is sensational, even more influential than what Renly did in the Iron Islands. At that time, he performed resurrection and a huge “illumination spell”, but the current scene is small, but it is closely related to the entire Ironmen!
“The Son of the Drowned God has arrived. The great Drowned God is watching us. We must perform well!”
“I can’t wait to fight!”
“Yes, the flowing water palace, the mermaid, I really want to see it sooner.”
“Some people on the island say that the Son of the Drowned God is fake, so stupid…”
…
On the way to the Iron Islands, such fanatical words can be heard from time to time, and there are ironmen who keep hanging in front of Renly, wanting to curry favor but not daring to step forward due to their status.
Even every time they go out, a large group of people will kneel in front of Renly. Even the leading female ironman Asha lost her composure during the conversation. She was excited, her words were pious and obedient, and the emotions in her eyes were too hot, as if she wanted to swallow him up.
Renly was not used to this, so he rarely went out in the later stage of the journey, and the messengers who followed him could not understand it either-although the revenge of ghosts is indeed very scary, but think about it, this shouldn’t change people so much, right?
Different beliefs lead to different concepts. Many people in the messenger group who believe in the Seven Gods even feel that these ironmen are indeed as rude and ignorant as the rumors say, just like the wild people in the land of eternal winter.
But they are more awed by Renly’s existence.
First he was the apostle of the Seven Gods, and then the son of the Drowned God. No matter which one is his true identity, he is related to the gods.
If he is related to the gods, is he still a human?
This idea made the messengers look at Renly differently. The impressions accumulated from many things converged and merged together, making it difficult for them to treat Renly with a normal heart. The timid ones even dared not speak in front of him.
Among all the people, it seems that only Rhaenys, who has a deep bond with Renly, was not affected.
Or, she had long understood what kind of existence Renly was, otherwise she would not actively stick to him.
At the same time, because of Renly’s mystery, she did not intend to hide many things, including the “finger” that attracted her at the beginning.
“I have never seen a god, but this finger is obviously related to a god. I wonder if you still have this thing?” One time the girl came to ask.
“What do you want to do?” Renly asked back.
“I want to use this thing to make a potion. I think the effect will be amazing, but no one has done it before. If I study it myself, one finger is not enough.”
“Potion…”
Renly pondered after hearing this.
The finger the girl was talking about was naturally the “toy” in his trash can, but it was not a simple toy.
Because Renly found that after the things in the box were taken away, new ones would appear that were exactly the same. Although it was slow, it seemed endless.
This was magical, but it was useless because Renly did not find any benefit he could get from it.
But in general, the box seemed to have no harm. Except that it would automatically follow him, it basically did not cause him any trouble.
So Renly was dispensable for the existence of this thing, and now that Renys wanted to study it, he did not want to stop her. At this time, he was thinking about something else.
Last time, he discovered that the sublimation in the attribute column was related to the changes in this world. So is this change limited to the changes brought about by the power of chaos?
What if he actively develops things that already exist in this world, such as cultivating a large group of magicians, or cultivating some other supernatural things and then promoting them?
“You can study it as you like, but be careful.”
He replied to Rhaenys like this, then ignored her happy face and began to ponder another matter related to it.
Renly has not yet studied the fusion of the two divinities on his wrist. He can only feel that the two have been changing after the fusion, and he doesn’t know what it will become in the end.
At the same time, he felt that an invisible force was constantly gathering from all directions and then merging into his wrist. At first he couldn’t figure out what it was, but later he guessed that it might be the power of faith.
The power of faith in the Iron Islands.
The faiths from all directions gathered and continuously nourished the divinity of the gods, but because the divinity on his wrist was not completely controlled by Renly, he could not accurately grasp it all and could only sense it vaguely.
It seemed useless to him, but the birth of the strange box had already proved that Renly could use the power of this divinity.
At the same time, the magic system of this world also proved that humans can exchange power from gods, but they just need some special methods.
So if others can do it, then why can’t the Drowned God on his wrist?
If the followers of the Drowned God master the corresponding methods, can they also borrow power from the Drowned God?
It is impossible to be sure of this. Renly does not know the difference between divinity and real gods, but this seems to be a place that can be studied, so he is constantly flipping through the relevant books on hand while observing.
At the same time, he silently pays attention to Rhaenys’s research on the box, hoping to gain some benefits from it.
However, the journey is limited after all, and research on supernatural powers is difficult. Before Rhaenys’s research has any clues, the team has arrived in the Iron Islands.
However, at the same time as they arrived, a piece of bad news came-
The leader of the Iron Islands, the former King of the Iron Islands, Balon Greyjoy, disappeared.
I am procrastinating, I am exhausted, and I have to stay up late to code the remaining two chapters. Let’s see it tomorrow~
