Chapter 1288: Exchange
Abel did not say anything. By that point, the ten holy crystals were already transferred to the goddess of the moon through the spirit connection circle, and she put them away with a smile on her face.
"Great, since it is Blue dragon Abel and the god of war's first time here, lets just do things according to tradition!" The goddess of the moon noticed the god of fire wanted to say something again, so she interrupted.
The god of fire returned with a bad look on his face. Out of all the gods, he was the one with the least holy crystals.
Due to the wizard union's suppression of the dwarves and the focus of the blacksmith dwarves, they wouldn't be too faithful even if they were baptized.
He barely had enough crystals to get by, let alone enough to increase his power.
So, of course, he would not miss the chance to trade with Abel before everyone starts to know Abel.
"I've been researching the holy text recently and realized the second holy text and the fifth holy text can correspond with the tenth holy text. According to their order, it should be able to strengthen the tenth holy text!' The goddess of the moon spoke as she drew out 3 golden holy texts dancing in mid-air.
The second and fifth holy texts orbit around the tenth holy text. As the tenth holy text grew brighter, the second and fifth holy text faded.
Although the goddess of the moon made it look simple, it was impossible to do this without perfect precision.
Abel's eyes sparkled. This was what he wanted to know about the most. Holy texts were the patterns of gods, and it was what his holy crystals had automatically created when he was building his god's kingdom.
Thief god Milton only had the basics of holy text since each god needed a long time to create them with faith.
The holy text researching the goddess of the moon mentioned was a trick to strengthen her kingdom.
The other gods, on the other hand, did not seem that excited. Each of their kingdoms had undergone thousands of years of strengthening. They would not change their holy text.
The faith needed was too much considering their current condition.
However, since Doff was a new god, this would be extremely helpful.
The goddess of the moon has only shown this trick because of Doff.
But since she had made a start, the other gods also began to show off the tricks they had with their holy texts. After all, Abel was basically a walking bucket of wealth to them.
Those tricks were no longer anything important with the wizard union around, and they wouldn't be in danger as long as they complied with the wizard union. At least not in the past thousands of years.
"Now lets do exchanges. Abel, let me explain. Since each god has to stay in their kingdom, exchanging resources is very important. We will only ask the wizard union as a last resort!" The goddess of the moon said.
From her tone, Abel could sense their attitude towards the wizard union.
"Goddess of moon, what do you mean that each god has to stay in their kingdom?" Abel was confused.
He knew that gods used to kill each other to obtain new abilities. If they had a special trick, they might even be able to obtain another godhead.
However, there were not many gods remaining in this world anymore. There was no need for them to stay in their kingdom for safety.
"Didn't the god of war sign a contract with the wizard union?" The goddess of the moon asked.
"Do I need to? The god of war is my summon and I am a dragon. So the god of war is a part of the dragons too!" Abel replied.
The other gods exchanged gazes, and soon admiration emerged from their eyes. Doff was a free god.
It was the power of the dragons.
But little did they know, 2 god ranks also fought because of Doff and caused a huge war.
"So lucky!" The god of fire mumbled.
All of a sudden, he even wanted to become Abel's summon and join the dragons.
"Abel, all of us gods have signed a contract with the wizard union. If we want to leave our kingdom, we must get the consent of the wizard union. If we have to interfere with the world, we can only do godsend within our territory.
Suddenly, the god of fire interrupted, "but this doesn't apply to the god of wealth and goddess of earth, they can use godsend and roam freely around anywhere they want!"
The god of wealth furiously gazed at the god of fire, and the goddess of earth remained emotionless.
The god of wealth and the goddess of earth were the weakness out of the 6 gods. They were not much more powerful than thief god Milton.
The god of wealth did not have his own territory since his followers were merchants, and the goddess of earth's followers were farmers, so she also didn't have a territory.
But considering how weak they were, the wizard union did not limit where they could go.
"Blue dragon Abel, since you didn't sign a contract. Does that mean you don't have to give out holy crystals as well?" The goddess of water couldn't help but ask.
"Yeah!" Abel smiled.
The gods gazed at Abel with jealousy again. Especially the god of fire, even in his conditions, he wouldn't dare to not supply the wizard union with holy crystals.
At that moment, the goddess of the moon broke the awkward atmosphere. "I have 200 grams of light wind iron, and I want 200 grams of heavy frozen ore. She then gazed at Abel and added, "or a holy crystal!"
Considering the rarity of holy crystals, they were normally only reserved for the most valuable exchanges.
Abel quickly looked through his knowledge of god, but there were just too many things to look through, so he never got to the part about making holy objects.
But at that moment, he wondered what was a light wind iron.
Soon, he got his answer. It was a type of iron only found in the most vicious currents.
Since each current could only contain 10 milligrams of light wind iron at the most, accumulating 200 grams would not be easy.
Not to mention, only gods with their kingdom high up in the sky could even be able to capture those iron.
However, it was a common necessity when it came to making holy jewelry.
"Goddess of moon, I'll take it!" Abel took out a holy crystal and placed it onto the spirit connection circle.
As it was transferred to the goddess of the moon, a sparkling white substance was transferred back to him.
Abel picked up the light wind iron and sensed it for a moment. It was the first time he saw something like it, but the goddess of the moon probably wouldn't trick him.
It was only the first exchange, and all the gods' jaws were already dropped.
The god of fire was the first one to jump up. "Blue dragon Abel, I have 100 grams of pure white gold, 300 grams blood flame crystals, do you want it?"
Abel paused and looked through his information before answering, "Yeah, for one holy crystal!"
"Blue dragon Abel, my gold and crystals are far more valuable than the light wind iron and I am giving you double the weight. I want at least 4 holy crystals!" The god of fire added.
"Then forget it, it's too early for me to think about making holy objects anyway, I'll get the dragons to find me some later!" Abel said helplessly.
"Then why do you exchange with the goddess of moon so easily?" The god of fire almost felt his fury exploding as he yelled.
"Oh, because the goddess of me helped me a lot!" Abel smiled.
All of a sudden, the god of fire was speechless as the goddess of the moon smiled.
"Ok, then one holy crystal!" The god of fire grunt.
In reality, he still got a good deal, but he just couldn't bear the goddess of the moon being treated much better than him.
Abel took out another Holy Crystal and placed it on the spirit connection circle before the god of fire's materials were transferred to him.
He was not lacking in material as a Grandmaster Blacksmith, but he never even heard of those materials before.
He then exchanged more materials for holy objects with 4 extra holy crystals.
As long as he didn't use too much, he didn't mind getting more things for Doff and thief god Milton to practice making holy objects.
"Blue dragon Abel, do you need a god's servant?" The god of death asked.
Abel quickly looked through his knowledge, but he didn't find anything, so he turned to the goddess of the moon.
" Abel, God's servants are a special summon. They don't take up any space in our soul. Instead they are bound to your god's kingdom. They would be alive as long as your kingdom is still intact, so a strong servant will be the perfect guardian!" The goddess of moon smiled.
"Where can I find them, can I know more about them?" Abel asked.
"Blue dragon Abel, I will give you more information once you exchange one with me. But I can guarantee that you won't find a god's servant in the wild in this day and age!" The god of death lowered his voice.
"Ever since the wizard union started taking over, they wiped out all holy beings and god's servants were no exception!" The goddess of moon added.
The so-called holy beings were any beings with the potential of becoming a god. This includes every intelligent life form from humans to spiritual beasts.
Although it was very hard for them to form a holy body, they were still the closest thing to god. It was because of this, they could thrive on faith with their immense power in a god's kingdom once they were captured.
