Chapter 498: Chapter 291: Harvey Intends to Cheat_3
The Undead Temple would casually send out a few priests, mostly Silver Skeletons. Just think about it, how would those clueless Silver Skeletons go about gaining followers? Hence, the Undead Godhood has always been rather obscure.
But no matter how obscure it is, it still belongs to the King. Who do you think you are, some random nobody who just stumbled in here, daring to call yourself the Undead God?
If those extremists from the Church of Light heard you babbling about the Gods of Light, they would tear you apart on the spot. However, Harvey and the Great Sage are not so extreme. They just burst into laughter:
“So you are the Undead God? That’s great. Look at my hand. This is the Fire of Mass Faith. If your master is the Undead God, he should know who I am. Please ask him to help me extinguish these flames. If he can do it, then I will believe that he is the Undead God,” Harvey laughed.
The Great Sage also couldn’t help but laugh, “My dear Silver Coin, you might not be aware, but the Undead Godhood belongs to the Undead King, our former ruler. You, pretending to be the Undead God, are a fake god who has sneaked into the temple of the real god. I hope you won’t be deceived by him.”
Silver Coin blinked and laughed as well, a glint of gold reflected in his eyes, “Wait a moment, let me ask. By the way, Lord Harvey, if we’re able to help you extinguish the Fire of Mass Faith, what are you willing to give in return?”
“Well, of course, I’d pledge my allegiance to the Undead God,” Harvey replied with a laugh.
Silver Coin chuckled, “Lord Harvey, please, no joking around. Let me communicate with my master first, and meanwhile, you can think about what you can offer.”
Having said that, Silver Coin went off to one side, closing his eyes to summon Ange.
It took a while for Harvey to snap back to reality; how dare Silver Coin talk to him this way and ask him to consider what he can offer as payment?
Provoked into thought, Harvey couldn’t help but follow this train of thought. Much to his surprise, he was stunned to realize, was he really this poor?
“Great Sage, apart from these bones, I don’t really have anything else to offer,” Harvey whispered.
The Great Sage scoffed, “Just realizing this now? Even your chair is just chiseled from stone.”
Harvey scratched his head, hesitating, “So, what should I do? What can I use as a reward?”
“Why bother thinking so much? You don’t really believe this so-called Undead God, who just appeared from nowhere, could actually dispel the Fire of Mass Faith, do you? Just play along with him but be careful not to offend Silver Coin, this little goblin has some real talents. I have plans for him.” The Great Sage said.
Harvey grimaced, “True. Alright then, I’ll offer the Eye of the Soul Thunderbolt that Lord Locke gave me as the reward. He can’t take it away anyway.”
“You mean the lens of the Eye of Soul Thunderbolt? The Soul Device lodged in your eye socket that can unleash Soul Thunder? You have it?” The Great Sage asked in surprise.
“Yes.” Harvey responded proudly, he dug a lens out of the gap in his bones, and stuck it onto his eye socket:
“It’s a lens specialized for us skeletons. Unfortunately, I can’t operate it myself. Lord Locke gave it to me so that I could communicate with him. But now it’s useless. No matter how many times I call him, I don’t get any response.”
The Great Sage sighed, “That thing is so precious. Keep it safe.”
“I’m not worried, no one can steal it. Let’s see if they can really put out the Fire of Mass Faith,” Harvey retorted dismissively. How dare some random stranger casually claim to be the Undead God? He’s looking for a beating.
If they can’t put out the Fire of Mass Faith, Harvey won’t show any mercy. He’ll dismantle them on the spot and see whether Silver Coin gives up his faith.
After Silver Coin finished communicating, he walked back over, “Lord Harvey, my master said he can extinguish it. Have you decided what you want to offer as a payment?”
Harvey pointed at his eye socket, “This.” Then, he explained what the lens does.
“Oh, then you need to expose the Fire of Mass Faith on your hand, and also, take off the lens.” Silver Coin said.
Harvey obliged with an attitude of just playing along. Whatever Silver Coin said, he did, just to avoid later accusations of not cooperating once they fail.
A moment later, a Divine Soul under the charges of Holy Light flew into Silver Coin and, pulling a sack out of Silver Coin’s body, exited.
“Holy Light?!” Harvey and the Great Sage exclaimed.
The Divine Soul reached out and effortlessly took away the Fire of Mass Faith. Was this the fire which had been burning Harvey for over four months? And it just got taken away by a Divine Soul?
Still smiling, the Divine Soul’s hand reached out again, this time aiming for the lens on Harvey’s other hand.
“Alright, the Fire of Faith has been extinguished, now I’ll collect my reward.” Silver Coin said with an excited look on his face.
But just as the Divine Soul’s finger touched the lens, Harvey’s hand suddenly tightened around it.
Silver Coin’s face changed instantly, “Lord Harvey, you wouldn’t be thinking about going back on your word, would you?”
