#209 - Chapter 209: The Centaur Priest Who is Good at Imagination
There is almost no contact between the horse-man tribes on different continents.
Otherwise, the horse-men of various planes would have been able to cooperate and eliminate the scattered fish-men.
Even if they couldn't eliminate the horse-men, they could share their experiences in weapon and pill refinement, so they wouldn't be as behind the fish-men in all aspects as Fang Che found when he first arrived.
If those fish-men weren't so uninterested in research and development, these horse-men would have been wiped out long ago.
The horse-men had never seen items like voodoo dolls that could travel back and forth between continents.
Most horse-men thought that the owner of the voodoo doll was on the same continent as them when they saw it.
A small number of horse-men thought that the voodoo doll was on a nearby continent, but definitely not somewhere further away.
Fang Che collected all of this information from the horse-men's conversations as he traveled between continents.
And this information could help Fang Che make better use of the horse-men.
So, Fang Che manipulated the voodoo doll to write the message: "The horse-men on our continent are currently engaged in a unification war. Once the unification is complete, they will come here to destroy you. Prepare yourselves."
The horse-man priest was shocked, then asked doubtfully, "After you complete unification, you can unleash even greater power and defeat us more easily. Why are you telling me this?"
Fang Che manipulated the voodoo doll to write the message: "Because my tribe was defeated in the unification war and is now fleeing everywhere;
Telling you this is just to prevent the tribe that defeated us from having it too easy."
The horse-man priest still asked doubtfully, "You can create items to deal with the fish-men, how could you possibly be defeated by another tribe?"
Fang Che manipulated the voodoo doll to quickly write the words: "Because other tribes stole my other research results."
The horse-man priest looked at the words and felt that something was wrong.
How could research results be stolen by other horse-men when you can research such powerful items?
Could it be that the owner of this puppet is lying!
Why would they lie?
The horse-man priest looked at the words on the ground and didn't see any scolding or angry statements. He suddenly had an idea.
Perhaps the one who researched the items wasn't the puppet's owner. After the puppet's owner was defeated, they chose to spread their fame elsewhere and gain the support of other horse-man tribes.
As for the horse-man who actually researched the items, they should be busy unifying the tribes and gave up on publicity.
And the reason the puppet's owner wanted me to eliminate the fish-men and hold a ritual was probably a means to deal with the most powerful tribe!
Thinking of this, the horse-man priest decided to test it out: "I will unify this continent as soon as possible, but the sacrificial ritual will be stopped for now."
At this moment, Fang Che was paying attention to the horse-man priest through the voodoo doll and noticed the slightly probing emotions of the horse-man priest.
Not only that, but Fang Che had also accurately grasped the other emotions of the horse-man priest!
Fang Che knew that the information he wrote was full of contradictions.
And after the horse-man priest noticed the contradictions, he didn't doubt it, but instead chose to test it, which meant that the horse-man had made up a reason to rationalize the contradictory information Fang Che had written!
The best way to avoid the horse-man priest's suspicion was to maintain the status quo and strengthen what Fang Che had already done.
This way, the horse-man priest would be more convinced of the content he had made up!
So, Fang Che manipulated the voodoo doll to quickly write the message: "In order to strengthen the item that deals with the fish-men, the priest must not stop, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted;
You can use horse-men from other tribes to hold sacrificial rituals during the unification process, and I can provide you with advanced weapons and items!"
The horse-man priest looked at the text, which was obviously more scribbled than before, and felt a little smug.
It seemed that his guess was correct. This sacrificial ritual was indeed of great importance to the puppet's owner.
It would be too much of a loss if he didn't get something out of it.
So, the horse-man priest said, "I can continue to hold the ritual, but since we are both horse-men, I feel bad about using horse-men for the sacrificial ritual. I need to solve my psychological problems first."
Fang Che felt that this was an opportunity to gain the trust of the horse-man priest, so he manipulated the voodoo doll to write the words:
"I have researched many powerful items before, and I can give you some."
Then, Fang Che manipulated the voodoo doll to throw out those Emperor Realm items stored in the True Domain.
The horse-man priest picked up the item, injected energy, and felt it, exclaiming, "Is this the item researched by the strong men of your continent? It's truly exquisite!"
Fang Che heard this and manipulated the voodoo doll to write the message: "You can just thank me directly. I researched them all."
But the horse-man priest felt that the puppet's owner couldn't research such items, so he casually said:
"Yes, yes, thank you very much. I will immediately send troops to conquer other tribes and use horse-men from other tribes to hold sacrificial rituals. Don't forget to bring me back resources next time."
After saying this, the horse-man priest put away the materials on the ground and turned to leave.
Fang Che manipulated the voodoo doll to drill into the ground and followed the horse-man priest. After confirming that the horse-man priest was going to attack other horse-men, he let the voodoo doll go to the front to collect materials.
In the following time, every time the voodoo doll collected some materials and sculptures, it would choose some horse-man priests who were relatively easy to deceive and tell them about the unification of the continent.
As for those more cunning priests, Fang Che chose to make them into new sculptures!
Of course, Fang Che also misjudged sometimes. Some horse-man priests looked stupid, but were actually very clever.
If Fang Che hadn't let the voodoo doll secretly follow them for a period of time, he might have ended Fang Che's scam.
For these horse-men, Fang Che eliminated them without hesitation.
Time flew by, and Fang Che quickly spread the information throughout the plane. Some of the horse-men who were deceived the earliest had already launched wars against other horse-man tribes.
Fang Che didn't pay too much attention to the battles between the horse-men. After confirming that the plane will of this plane didn't have too strong resistance, he returned to the True Domain.
Fang Che refined a new concession token and cultivated for a period of time before heading to the Minotaur plane.
The Minotaur plane has always served to provide Fang Che with materials from other planes.
Especially after Fang Che devoured the Turtle plane and the Goat plane and didn't find any other plane materials, this made the Minotaur plane even more important.
However, during this period of time, the materials provided by Niu Xuanhai have always been the same as before, without any new plane coordinates.
This made Fang Che enter the Minotaur plane less and less frequently.
However, now Fang Che only has the Horse-man plane and the Minotaur plane left, so he always has to check the situation of the Minotaur plane to avoid accidents.
