quicksilver blood

Chapter 46

Esther, Dragon Hunter Esther, Esther Eberron.

It's a great name.

That was in the time of the War of the Gods, when there were still a few dragons left in this world.And Esther's most famous feat is that he once tricked an evil dragon to death with one mouth.

He was only seven years old that year, but the evil dragon was already a juvenile dragon, less than ten years away from becoming an adult, awakening the origin.

He may be the first and last existence in the world to kill the golden species in a non-professional capacity.

But because he was used to telling lies, no one in his small town took it seriously that he killed a dragon, but regarded it as an extremely lame stupid lie that didn't match Esther's level of lying.Since then, the title "Dragon Hunter" has become an old meme that the town's children use to mock Esther.

At this time, Esther just smiled and said nothing.

It wasn't until he awakened the origin of deception and became famous that the group of townspeople realized that Esther might have really cheated a dragon to death, and they had been deceived by Esther for many years.And the title of Dragon Hunter has changed from a kind of ridicule to a real awe.

This is him, the greatest liar of this era—he can even become the first god of deceit and lies, enjoy the priesthood attached to the entire false field, and possess powerful divine power when he is conferred as a god.

However, to everyone's surprise, he deceived the world and everyone in the ceremony of enshrining the gods.

At that time, the father god of the goddess of war, the sun, and the god of justice, Tyre, wanted to get involved in the realm of reality through the priesthood of the sun, so he was very dissatisfied with Esther, who was sitting on the entire false realm and might cause him great restraint.

Therefore, he contacted many gods to intercept Esther on the day when he held the ceremony to confer the god.Assassinations, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, typhoons, tsunamis... But no matter how they hunted and killed Esther, he couldn't calm down and feel the law of Aum. And firmly peeled off, sinking into the material world bit by bit.

Just when Esther was chased and killed by many gods incarnate in the lower realm, and was almost desperate, the God of Deception was born in the distance.

At that time, all the gods were stunned.

Because it's not Esther who becomes the god of deception, but a half-killed pig.

Esther used his own experiment to prove how big loopholes the laws of this world are full of after the saint left.

Because the pig passively cooperated with Esther's deception, causing many gods to pay a huge price to incarnate in the lower world, but it was considered by the Wall of Aum as the initiator of the deception; Even though the butcher was busy for three hours, he still couldn't kill the pig.

Being slaughtered in half - such extreme pain even gave it the priesthood of pain.

You idiots are like pigs - this scam is a slap in the face of all the gods.

This directly led to Tyre, the god of the sun and justice, giving up the real realm almost permanently, and no god has dared to touch it so far.

Because all it takes is Esther to set off a scam around the world, and the God of Truth will surely die.And because Tyr made such a huge noise at the time, almost all the gods witnessed the whole process.

And the priesthood of deception has been stripped from the walls of Orm and sunk into the earth.As long as Esther is willing, he who is recognized by the world can immediately become the God of Deception, without having to hold the God Conferring Ceremony again.But Esther said that he is unwilling to become a god and give up a life of ease and freedom—unless other gods choose to continue to target him.

There is no fighting in the Astral Plane - so as long as Estor is in the sky, no god can kill him.So the gods didn't bother to spend a lot of power to chase him down from the lower realms, but expected his head to be broken, and he really didn't become a god until his mortal body's lifespan was exhausted and he died.

This is one of the few examples in Farnes, the land of the gods, where mortals rebel against the gods, but the gods have nothing to do with them and can only wait for them to die of old age.

Most people think that this already belongs to the category of miracles and cannot be repeated by mortals.

Because Esther's hands are so beautiful, many liars, including Roland, even worshiped Esther as a god.

I have to say that Esther can also play——

He once promised around the world that anyone who can discover his incarnation and successfully deceive him will be granted a wish that Este can make.

And to be honest, there's really nothing this ruthless man can't do.

The last young businessman who successfully deceived Astor got a treasury comparable to an empire.

Under his ingenious management, not only did he not suffer from the disaster of killing himself because of this huge sum of money, but he managed a powerful force with it, so he was also favored by the Goddess of Wealth. In just half a year, he advanced to the gold rank.

In less than ten years, he became the richest man in the world.Because of the notorious lack of money in the Su Ze Empire, he was recruited by Queen Su Ze and is now Su Ze's prince.

And if nothing else happens, his child will become Su Ze's next emperor.

The prince of Su Ze deeply understood how generous Esther's gift was.And from my own experience, I learned how destructive this gift is to the existing situation in the world.Therefore, with the support of Queen Su Ze, 23 "suspected recipients" of Su Ze were wiped out-including courtiers who opposed Queen Su Ze, her brother and uncle, and particularly wealthy businessmen.

The price Su Ze paid was the lives of [-] innocent people "killed by the recipient" and [-] "heroic soldiers who died fighting the recipient".

That operation became the infamous "Operation Bad Night".Because Su Ze's transfer of hatred is so ingenious, the lower-level masses with limited information channels do not know the true identities of these purged recipients.They only think that because of the existence of this group of people, their relatives and friends will die because of this, and they will lose their jobs because of this.

A gift from the evil night - this is Est's title now.Anyone who can name Dragon Hunter is undoubtedly someone who knows him well.This is why Esther said that he met an acquaintance.

"So, what is your wish?"

Esther said vaguely with her mouth full of roasted pears.

"My wish is simple."

Roland took off the hood lightly, and pointed at his face lightly: "Please remember this face. It will be enough to bear a sin for me in the future - it doesn't take too long, just a month is enough gone."

"Oh? When?"

Esther showed an interested expression.

"You will know when the time comes. It is a crime that only you can bear, and it will never belittle your identity."

Roland's face was full of confidence.

"...To be honest, I'm really looking forward to it," Esther swallowed the last bite of baked pear, cleared his mouth and said, "Well, you give me a place, and I'll wait for you for three years. When I When I hear that your name is associated with some kind of felony in this place, I will help you bear the crime for a month."

"White Tower."

Roland said without hesitation: "Just go to the White Tower and wait for me."

"The White Tower... It's really exciting, don't let me down. If your plan makes me happy, and if you can survive a month later, I can promise you a small request .”

Esther stood up, straightened her neckline, and smiled.

"That's what you said."

"Of course. Esther—never lie." Esther pushed back her gold-rimmed glasses, blinked, and revealed a secretive smile.

Then he turned around and left the hotel.After his figure completely disappeared from Roland's eyes, the noise around him reached Roland's ears again.

It has been about a quarter of an hour since Roland fell asleep in a daze.The plate of baked pears hadn't cooled completely yet, but it didn't move at all, as if what Roland had just seen was just an incomparably real illusion.

"Never tell a lie...it's a deep lie."

Roland murmured, stretched out the spoon he was holding tightly in his right hand, and dug a large piece of baked pear into his mouth.
