Chapter 1292: Prepare
Abel returned to the golden castle and immediately entered Doff"s kingdom as soon as he left Fire Tooth.
He summoned Thief G.o.d Milton on the platform. Although it was Doff"s kingdom, Thief G.o.d Milton was also Abel"s summon. They were bound to the soul, so he sensed a natural bond with the kingdom as well.
"Doff, give the thief G.o.d some authority!" Abel said. He was planning to make a kingdom for thief G.o.d Milton since he didn"t have many followers. It might not be able to even sustain itself, so it would be a waste.
Sharing was the best, but of course, no normal G.o.d would share their kingdom with another. The kingdom was the core of a G.o.d, but since Doff and Thief G.o.d Milton were both Abel"s summoners with souls created by Abel, they were basically like brothers.
"Yes master!" Doff replied. Although the kingdom did not suppress Thief G.o.d Milton, all of a sudden, he felt like the kingdom was a part of him.
Abel knew how important the kingdom was to Doff, and he was truly shaking it with thief G.o.d Milton by nature.
Abel did not distract them. Instead, he just transferred the holy texts he received to Doff and Thief G.o.d Milton.
At the same time, he took out Doff"s second body to help strengthen the kingdom. Although there was a limit to how much they could strengthen before the kingdom war, it was better than nothing.
Abel was confident, but he was still not going to carelessly do something he had never done before.
This kingdom basically had 3 G.o.ds strengthening it at once. Abel then returned to the star light protection circle and took out the spirit connection circle. He did not connect to the G.o.d of fire just yet. Instead, he called up the G.o.ddess of the moon.
The circle began to spark, and the graceful body of the G.o.ddess soon appeared.
"Blue dragon Abel, I"m surprised. You are calling me right after the meeting?" The G.o.ddess of moon smiled.
Unlike humans, time didn"t mean much to G.o.ds, and they rarely called each other.
G.o.ds directly calling each other was very rare. Normally they would just leave a message since they all had business to take care of.
If the person calling the G.o.ddess of the moon was not Abel, she might not have answered it. If it was that easy to reach a G.o.d, there would be no need for their social gathering.
But since Abel had so many holy crystals, the G.o.ddess of the moon was more than happy to answer.
"The G.o.ddess of moon, sorry for nothing you but I want to exchange some information with you!" Abel smiled and bowed.
"Oh, what do you want to know?" The G.o.ddess of the moon"s eyes sparkled. She loved trading with Abel, the wealthiest man in this world.
"I want to know something about kingdom wars! How many holy crystals do you want?" Abel asked directly.
"Why do you want to know about that? Kingdom wars are very dangerous. Since your kingdom is just established, there is no way you can go against any other G.o.d"s kingdom. Please don"t attempt it!" The G.o.ddess of the moon warned. It was not a moral thing to do if she insisted on trading.
Abel was a friend she could trust, which was very rare among G.o.ds.
Even after starting the G.o.d alliance, she didn"t trust many of those G.o.ds.
After all, only the most cunning traitor would sign a treaty with the Wizard Union after going through the era of G.o.ds.
But she could truly Sense how genuine Abel was from their interaction. So this relations.h.i.+p was worth developing.
Not to mention, she did keep an eye on Abel when Abel was in the elves as well.
He really did seem like a good person, and she didn"t want to lose a friend because of a kingdom war.
"The G.o.ddess of moon, I can"t tell you too much because of a vow, but I promise I won"t start a war with a kingdom with a G.o.d!" Abel laughed after noticing how worried the G.o.ddess of the moon was.
The G.o.ddess of the moon immediately understood. Abel must have found a location for an ownerless kingdom and wants to invade.
"Abel, I can tell you but you must be clear on one thing. Kingdoms can no longer be separated once they are connected, which means one side will have to either die or surrender!" The G.o.ddess of the moon added in a serious tone.
"Thanks for the reminder, I"ll keep it in mind!" Abel smiled and bowed.
"One holy crystal, if you want to know, I can lend you 2 battle servants!" The G.o.ddess of moon waved her hand, and a book appeared in mid-air.
"Thanks, but I won"t be needing those servants!" Abel sent over a holy crystal and smiled.
The G.o.ddess of the moon also smiled since Abel trusted her that much, so she transferred the book to Abel as well.
Afterward, both sides turned off their circles, and Abel began to look through the book. Information about kingdom wars was written in fine detail.
Afterward, he ignited the spirit connection circle again and connected to the G.o.d of fire. In less than 1 second, the G.o.d of fire appeared in front of him.
The G.o.d of fire looked desperate.
"The G.o.d of fire, your location was not right!" Abel said, and the G.o.d of fire immediately frowned.
"Blue dragon Abel, where do you go, did you search around with your kingdom?" The G.o.d of fire quickly asked.
"The G.o.d of fire, let me ask you one more time. When did you get that location?" Abel ignored his question and calmly asked back.
"6 or 7 thousand years, or maybe 8, I can"t remember!" The G.o.d of fire paused and answered.
Abel felt his heart dim. How could a G.o.d be this forgetful? He got a taste of being a G.o.d before in the dark world. They could find every bit of information in their memory easily.
Their souls were basically like super-intelligent machines.
Even Doff could take care of his followers alone as a G.o.d after depending on Abel for countless years.
So Abel just wouldn"t believe the G.o.d of fire when he said he forgot.
"The G.o.d of fire, even the location you gave me is not correct, I still manage to find the ownerless kingdom nearby so I"ll give you the crystals!" Abel lowered his voice. It was what it was.
"Blue dragon Abel, you are a good man!" The G.o.d of fire immediately felt his heart lift and laughed.
Afterward, Abel directly took out 50 crystals without saying a word.
Greed sparked in the eyes of the G.o.d of fire as he saw the crystals from the other side.
Abel sensed some bad intentions, so he lifted up his head to see a big smile on the G.o.d of fire.
He shook his head, but he still transferred the crystals over.
"Blue dragon Abel, when are you going to start your invasion?" The G.o.d of fire asked.
"Maybe a month!" Abel said blankly.
He then turned off the spirit connection circle leaving the G.o.d of fire manically holding the 50 holy crystals in his hand above the Dwarves.
At that same time, Abel sensed the constraints in his soul fading, so he couldn"t help but smile.
He just didn"t know what would happen if he refused to give the G.o.d of fire the crystals. After all, obtaining an empty kingdom with 50 holy crystals was still worth it.
The days continued on with Abel living in the golden castle and entering the dark world at night.
The only thing different was that he had an extra book to read that day. The kingdom war was much more complicated than he thought.
The attacking side would always be at a huge disadvantage since they had to leave their faithful grounds to invade.
This would undermine their power on all fronts since followers on a faithful ground could always pray to replenish a kingdom"s holy power.
This would be even worse if the battle lasted for a long time.
As soon as a kingdom war began, every follower within the kingdom would stop everything they were doing and join the fight with their G.o.d. No one would be able to leave until the war finished. G.o.d"s servants could not be resurrected, but the followers could be resurrected until all faith runs out.
There were a few detailed examples of kingdom wars in the book, and they were all disasters. Even the stronger side often takes a huge hit.
The G.o.ddess of the moon added a final line in her book "there was no winner in a kingdom war. Kingdom wars are always filled with sorrows, they are the downfall of G.o.ds!" No wonder she warned Abel not to get involved in one.
A month pa.s.sed, during this time, Doff and Thief G.o.d Milton had not stopped drawing holy texts with faith.
What they needed was much more than what the Barbarians could provide since their faith needed to sustain the kingdom as well. It was a new kingdom, after all.
If Abel had another hundred years to acc.u.mulate enough faithful followers, his kingdom would be able to run on its own.
But he just didn"t, so he had to divide a bit of faith from his angel body for Doff to use.
