Noble Emblem

A young Brave walked out of his village, gathered companions to his side, defeated the Great Demon King, became famous, then came back with beauties in hand! This was a legend that appears in the world of Seyrol every 200 years! Our protagonist, however, isn’t a Brave. Even so, for over a thousand years his figure has loomed throughout its history. Unwittingly, the name of the Red Priest began to resound throughout the world. Red Priest’s legend included extraordinary sword techniques and magic, erudite knowledge, and an almost prophetic ability to lead young Braves toward the proper path. People of the world think of him as a descendent of the ancient Golden Race which led to his omnipotence. In essence, however, this was just the characteristics of the profession known as ‘Noble’. A word from the fabulousest translator/editor on Earth which is me I took upon this translation/editing project for the same reason I started translating my first Chinese novel. There are just too many big ass gems buried in a deep cesspool. I've long guessed that Qidian stopped introducing good Chinese novels on this platform in order to give some breathing room for English (and other) originals, but I don't agree with such approach. From a reader's standpoint, it is such a shame that we don't even know how many brilliant works we are missing because of the language barrier. To be honest, I'm mainly copypasting from the site called Novelhi. It is a really good resource and their machine translation is the best I've seen so far, and they also translate up to the latest available chapter. Still, they have several issues. For some reason they always miss the last paragraph which make you can missout on a potentially very important information related to a story, and they also have parts where just a couple of words gets repeated for a whole paragraph and it actually replaces the original text. They also translate an ad together with a chapter which is immersion breaking. I'll be correcting the inherent sins of such MTL with manual editing and translation and I will also polish some rough edges so that the readers will have as much seemless reading experience as possible. You will definitely have a better time reading this than me for sure

The idea of god and man

Divine sense was a great honor and gift to true believers. They could die for a single gaze from their god, do anything for a single affirmation from their god. If they were fanatics, as long as their god willed it and allowed it, they could even kill their own kin and friends, not hesitating to make the entire world their enemy.

But Liang Lidong was a materialist, a youth who had grown up under the banner of the sickle and hammer. To him, everything in this world could be explained by science, and if it could not be explained, it meant that science had not developed to that stage.

Therefore, in his eyes, Woking's divine sense was a special means of long-distance communication, and he did not feel any joy or awe because of it.

"Oh, you put it so simply that I have no idea what's going on."

The voice that did not seem too concerned was transmitted back, and after a moment of silence, Goddess Woking asked with slight irritation, "You bastard, I'm your goddess, and you dare to speak to me like that?"

The goddess's voice was very pleasant, and even if it was a questioning voice, it was as comfortable as drinking a bowl of iced spring water on a hot day.

But Liang Lidong's tone remained the same. "I'm just your Pope, not your servant. Why can't I speak to you like that?"

Liang Lidong had never directly interacted with any of the gods in the game. However, the Players' attack on the Forest Goddess did not result in any retaliation or retaliation. Instead, the various temples were doing their best to rope in the Players. This was a complete blow to the gods' reputation among the Players, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that the gods were dragged down from their pedestals.

The voice that was even more disrespectful was transmitted back, but Goddess Woking did not say anything. Liang Lidong sighed and continued shopping with the two girls.

The last two times he had interacted with Goddess Woking, he had discovered a hidden truth: Goddess Woking did not treat him as a person of equal status. She had indeed made many promises, but she did not think that Liang Lidong could keep them.

Goddess Woking believed that it was impossible for Liang Lidong to become a demigod. This was because the requirements to become a Demigod were too harsh. Since it was impossible, Goddess Woking naturally didn't have any psychological burden on her promise, even though the Gods would definitely fulfill their promises. But what if others couldn't do it?

Therefore, Woking did not mind selling some benefits, nor did he mind using himself as a bargaining chip.

Thinking of this, Liang Lidong snickered in his heart. Perhaps he would be overjoyed at the possibility of obtaining a goddess, but Liang Lidong knew very well that none of these gods who had lived for countless years were easy pickings. He could cooperate with them, but if he really wanted to take advantage of them, it would be better to be careful of his own lifeblood.

Liang Lidong's attitude was actually conveying a message. Although she was a goddess, he actually didn't worship her that much. Besides, you are the one who depends on me more.

After about another ten minutes of walking on the street with the two girls, the things they bought were all sent into the mystic space.

Not long after, Woking's divine sense came over again, and this time her attitude seemed to be a little softer. "Not long ago, I felt a soul with a powerful will send its plea to a powerful being, and that appeal was intercepted by me. If I can fulfill her wish, she will become the first fanatic of our temple."

Gods had a persistent fondness for believers, because believers were the source of their power. The number of believers. The quality was related to the strength of a god, and even the issue of survival.

If it was the Goddess Woking in her heyday, a blasphemer like Liang Lidong would definitely be hunted down by the temple. She would definitely be hunted down by the Pantheon, but the current situation was stronger than God. Goddess Woking had almost died, and she had no choice but to rely on Pope Liang Lidong to help her rebuild the world's faith.

It wasn't just people who couldn't bear it, who ruined great plans. Gods, who were unimaginably powerful, also understood this principle.

Most relationships in this world were built on interests, and there were very few people like Emma, Belin, Jessica, Barbara, and Alice, who regarded relationships as the most important thing.

Liang Lidong thought for a moment and said, "Goddess, where is that person roughly?"

"According to my judgment, it should be near the capital of Hollevin."

"Should be?" Liang Lidong transmitted his laughter into Woking's divine realm. "It seems that there are things that gods can't do."

Then came Woking's calm voice, hiding a faint anger. "There are many things in this world that gods can't do, and as a Truth Seeker, you should understand this."

"How can I find her when you can't even completely confirm her location?"

"I left a small mark on her, and it will be triggered as long as you are a certain distance away from her, and then you will naturally know who she is."

"Okay, I'll stop by and take a look."

Hmph. As if dissatisfied with Liang Lidong's perfunctory attitude, the goddess slightly shook Liang Lidong's mind with her mind. It was a little uncomfortable, but it wouldn't cause any real damage.

Liang Lidong shook his head and continued shopping with the two girls.

By nightfall, the two of them had bought all the things they wanted. Then the three of them teleported back to Reed Village. Mages had to teleport even this small distance. No other NPCs except the players were willing to do this at all. It wasn't that they couldn't do it, but it was too expensive.

Only players would value time more than money.

After returning to the village, Emma had Liang Lidong build an official passage to Mystra's Mansion, and then she and Jessica ran in and began to decorate the space as they wished.

Liang Lidong, on the other hand, began to prepare the magic scrolls needed for this trip. Theoretically speaking, there was always the possibility of encountering unexpected situations in every battle, but generally speaking, most things were controllable, unless one's luck was really bad to the extreme and an uncontrollable accident occurred.

By the time he finished writing a dozen magic scrolls and entered Mystra's Mansion, he found two girls excitedly arranging the furniture.

The space at this time was very different from before. The "floor" was covered with a white animal skin carpet, beautiful milky white furniture was in full use, and there was even a kitchen.

There was a ceiling overhead, and there were three additional load-bearing pillars below … There was still the scent of magic, clearly the top mutual application of Stone to Mud and Mud to Stone.

Apart from the small living room on the first floor, there were two small rooms with doors facing each other, but there were no wooden doors. Judging from the blueprints, these two small rooms should be Alice and Kail's.

The stairs were also built, and Liang Lidong walked up and found that the second floor was still empty.

Emma stood behind him, her eyes watery. "The second floor is our bedroom, but it hasn't been done yet because of the lack of furniture. We're going on a trip tomorrow, and we can sleep on the floor, and when we have time later, we'll build the bedroom. "

Liang Lidong deliberately ignored the word "we" as he nodded and said admiringly, "Not bad, it's indeed much more comfortable. When we go on adventures in the future, we can have a place to rest in peace."

Emma smiled quite happily at Liang Lidong's affirmation.

Jessica came up and shouted, "Master, I helped too."

"Well, you did a good job too."

Liang Lidong patted the little maid's head, who smiled so hard her eyes were closed, looking like a husky who had been praised.

At night, Emma rested in Mystra's Mansion. Although it hadn't been completely renovated, it was much better than Liang Lidong's cold Woking Temple.

The next day, Alice and Kail gathered in the temple, and Liang Lidong simply threw them into Mystra's Mansion, before he activated Teleportation and left Reed Village.

Jessica stood alone at the door of the temple, tears rolling in her eyes. She seemed very aggrieved.

In Mystra's Mansion, the three of them sat on the chairs in the living room and watched the scenery outside the space change. They were shocked and speechless for a long time as they watched Liang Lidong walk on the outskirts of Isnas.

After a long time, Kail finally heaved a sigh of relief and said, "I didn't expect spatial magic to be used in this way. We can travel so comfortably. It's just that our teacher has to work hard and has to run around outside."

Alice echoed, "Yes, if this kind of magic can be popularized, then no one will have to worry about the problem of traveling in the future. Think about it, being able to travel all over the world comfortably. That's such a wonderful thing."

But Emma's point of view was a little different. She kept her eyes on Liang Lidong, who wasn't far away, but was actually separated by a dimensional barrier. Then she said in a leisurely tone, "Beta's attainments in space have completely exceeded our imagination. Such a magic, not to mention being popularized, there are only a few people who can learn it. I really don't understand. He's such a smart person. Why didn't he become a spatial master? Instead, he became an ascetic believer … I've looked into it, and there are no records of the Goddess Woking in this world. At first, I thought she was an evil god, but when Beta showed me the teachings, I found that she was an absolutely good god. "

Kail said unconcernedly, "How can a man as strong as my teacher, who is so confident and proud, who thinks that he is on an equal footing with the gods, be a servant of the gods? He's not so much an ascetic believer as simply helping a friend."

Kail seemed simple and honest, but he was actually very smart and could often see the truth of things at a glance.

Both of the girls felt that it made sense and nodded at the same time.

As a matter of fact, Kail was only half right. Liang Lidong was indeed willing to help Woking out of gratitude. After all, he was protected by the Temple of Woking for a while when he was still a soul.

The other reason was that the Temple of Woking had lost its foundation, and he had to rebuild it. As long as he watered it carefully, it would definitely be fruitful when it blossomed and bore fruit.

Liang Lidong did not know that the three of them were talking about him. Woking had asked him to go to the King's City, but he did not record the magic waymark of the King's City. Isnas was the closest to the King's City, and if he used the normal method, he could reach the King's City in half a day.

However, as a professional, and a Master Spellcaster, he couldn't travel in the way ordinary people did.

Next, he wanted to try Human Cannonball, a super magic combination skill for traveling.

It was the masterpiece of Roland, the strongest Mage in the server. Few people had mastered it.
