Chapter 320 Buchara Incident
Chapter 321 God is also a human
Throughout the twelfth lunar month, the black smoke was densely covered with smoke along the river Desmith, and the situation was already at a level that the monarchs on both sides could not control.
This is already the kingdom of God, no longer the kingdom of the monarch. From then on, believers only want to please the gods, not the monarch.
And Shengguang is laughing. Only in troubled times can he gather more devout believers, gain more power of faith, and after being transformed into divine power, he can avenge his previous shame.
And what about Kang Duo?
Kang Duo is playing the piano.
Kefini and Ursa came to the Secret Star Tower several times anxiously, hoping that Kang Duo would release an oracle to the priests of the Star Cult to restrain the believers of the Star Cult, but every time they were greeted, they were closed and the sound of harp that echoed in the tower. The sound of the piano was passionate and surging like the crazy and reckless behavior of the believers of the Star Cult.
Of course, all of this was facilitated by Ursa and Kefini, who gave tax cuts to the people who joined the Star Cult, gave high salaries to the priests selected from various places, etc. Their series of actions were regarded by the people as gifts of goddesses rather than as compassion for the monarchs.
On the seventeenth floor of the Secret Star Tower, the books piled up inside have been transformed into clean by Kang Duo's divine power. Kang Duo's indifferent face was a hint of melancholy, fiddling with the harp. After returning from the last time from Longshen Island, she played the song "Ten-sided Ambush" over and over again, day and night, without stopping.
As the sound of the piano flowed, it seemed that she would bring her back to the days when she was looking for memories with Griffili. It was like a pair of vivid fragments. As her fingers kept fiddling, it was spliced into a complete picture and appeared in her mind all the time. In the picture, the back of the man was bleak and lonely in front of her. Even though she knew that she would never find what she wanted to grab, she still refused to let go.
Kang Duo played this song over and over again as if she had a demonic obstacle, because only the tune was an existence that her spiritual sense could not abandon. Does she want to regain her memories of the past, or do she want to stare at the back of the man forever in the song?
Kang Duo doesn't know.
She only knew that she needed a feeling, a feeling of loving someone or being loved.
After the Bucharest incident, Shengguang was laughing, Kang Duo was playing the piano, but Athena was anxious.
How can you two play with each other? Don’t you bring me together? Seeing Shengguang and Kang Duoyue play, more and more devout and fanatical believers are like snowballing. Athena finally couldn’t sit still, and she decided to let her believers join the game.
It is almost a replica of the Bucharest incident. After the Karen Empire's border guards "accidentally" executed several believers of the Star Cult and the Holy Holy Church, they burned and killed them on an unofficial basis on both sides, turning into a three-party Romance. The believers of the Gate of Austria successfully joined the game.
However, the Holy Church is worthy of being an old church that has been passed down for thousands of years. They soon invented a new way of playing, not only killing pagans in their territory, but also starting to harass the people who do not believe in God, forcing more people to join the Holy Church.
In fact, there is no way to achieve enlightenment. The Holy Church occupies several northern kingdoms and principalities led by Zia and the Sultan. Whether in terms of population or regional territory, it cannot compare with Menid and Karen. In order to prevent the number of its believers from being compared by the other two parties, this move was used.
This new ‘playing method’ soon spread to the territory of Menid and Karen Empires. Around the New Year in 2018, millions of Holy Alliance people were forced to leave their homes, cross Mount Alquith west or hide directly north to Diak City.
In other words, for most people with the Holy Alliance of faith, no one pays attention to the passing of the New Year. For them who are passionate because of their faith, they are as excited as the New Year in the process of burning, killing and dealing with pagans every day, as excited as the New Year!
The north wind is howling, the sky is snowing, and people are cheering!
Who can hear that there are some people crying on the way to leave their hometown...
Adam got married to Sarah as he wished after returning from Diak. After the gods' "game" began, Adam, who refused to join the ranks of the Holy Church, naturally suffered the impact of the Holy Church. He not only snatched all the food stored in his house, but even almost caused his pregnant wife to have a miscarriage in a conflict. As a last resort, Adam left his hometown with his weak mother and his big belly to walk towards Diak City.
"Look at you, you have to stop it. What's wrong with joining the Holy Church like other people in the village? You have to take your mother so far in this cold day." In Diak Canyon, the bitter north wind and snowflakes made the journey even more difficult. Sarah helped her mother, who was panting and coughing after walking a few steps, and for the third time along the way, she complained about Adam who was stubborn.
"Cough cough..." Adam's mother heard his wife complaining about her son, and shook her hand with the crutch in her hand, coughed and said, "It's not his fault, many people in the village have come to Diak too!"
Adam smiled apologetically at his wife and mother, handed the package in his hand to the salad with a big belly, bent down and carried her on regardless of his mother's obstruction, and then continued to head towards Diak.
"It's not a wartime time. Will Diak take us in?" Sala said worried again.
"Yes, an adult said that he would protect me in Diak!" Adam, who was holding his mother and dragging his wife to trek in the snow, said unquestionably. A shadow had already appeared in his mind. This shadow had long white hair, blue and purple eyes, a humble smile and approachable demeanor. At Diak's most critical moment a long time ago, he promised Adam, "I will protect you", and then he did it.
Everyone has a God in their hearts, some Gods are used to praise, and some Gods are used to miss and rely on! The reason why Adam insisted was because he had already had devout faith in his heart.
Adam carried his mother and wife on his back, and chose to leave his hometown and trek in the snow for the sake of faith.
This is also a kind of fanaticism!
"Are everyone crazy?"
When most people on the mainland were hiding from the cold, in the Shadow Moon Valley Steman mansion, Old Hustle was lying on a yard lounger basking in the sun. He left behind the busy government affairs and let his children and grandchildren go to work, and he became more and more energetic. He waved the letter raft he had just obtained, and a hint of sadness appeared on his face.
"The person who laughed so proudly always ended up crying!" Quino, who was using gems as a building block puzzle with the little master, said a very philosophical saying without raising his head.
"God... Demon... Alas, fortunately, it sounds good that Gerry has moved here, but how long can we be peaceful here?" Hustell, who had left the world behind, was still worried about the world.
Quino grabbed the little young master's hand and put down the two gems in his hand. It happened to form a few complete words - Conan Steman! This is the little young master's name, and Quino thought about it for so many days and finally took it out.
"Just bask in the sun with peace of mind. If the young master sees this step, he will naturally see the next step. He has already arranged it." Quino comforted Hustle, and pointed to the words on the ground and said kindly to the young master: "Conan Steman, child, this is your future name."
"Conan Steman." Conan said a little, then said in a childish voice, and looked at Quino with his head curiously, "Why did you give me the name, not my father? He is the Ninth Knight!"
Quino: “…”
Old Detel on the recliner burst into laughter. Many years ago, when he was as old as Conan, he asked similar questions to Quino. As a result, he made Quino silent, but when he turned into a father and grandfather, his descendants' names were still allowed to Quino to be chosen. This is probably an alternative reward to Quino, who has been waiting for the family for more than 400 years. However, can you explain to Conan clearly what tradition is?
Obviously not, so Quino could only remain silent.
Quino looked up helplessly at Hustle who was smirking, "Like you, this child is an old fox when he grows up."
Hustle was silent for a moment and said in a slightly heavy tone: "Born in a chaotic world, you can survive by being a little cunning."
Little Conan looked around and looked again and again, not knowing what the two old guys said, but he knew that he should be silent at this time.
With a heavy footsteps, the silence in the yard was broken. Gali, wearing a purple gold crown and a decent imperial robe, entered this quiet back garden under the guidance of a servant.
After the skeleton left, Gali lost his backbone. He left the Beast Temple and returned to the Orc Tribe in the Alquith Mountains. After a hurry to hold a throne ceremony, he rushed to Shadow Moon Valley again. His purpose was self-evident. He came to pray for the goddess' protection. He looked for Bach, and Bach asked him to tell Griffili himself, "Why dare he talk to Griffili?" I dare not, wasn't he plotting against him when he dealt with Griffili that time? So he had to come to find the old Hustle who was a little "conscientious".
"Blessing?" Old Hustle's fox-like smile made Gari shudder, "Is it the throne that protects you?" It's not bad it was the old fox who saw through what Gari thought at first glance.
"Hehe..." Gali held the crown on his head and smiled very 'pure', which was considered a default.
“It’s no problem.”
Gali didn't expect that Old Hustle would agree, but the words that Old Hustle followed made his heart feel cold. "What are you going to exchange for the protection of the goddess? Soul? Or believers? She doesn't lack these. Is there any gold mine in your tribe?"
"Damn it, you have all the gold mines hollowed out!" Gali was furious and frightened Conan so scared. Quino moved his figure and picked up Gali and threw it out of the yard. Then he made a gesture and told the servant not to let him in.
After a while, Gai, who had fallen into a blue nose and swollen face, climbed up the yard wall in a panic, and cried to Hustle in the yard: "What do you want? Tell me directly. I swear in the name of the Beast God that the gold is really gone."
"It's very simple. If we need it, your orc kingdom must have all the soldiers and be under our command." Old Hustle said his purpose slowly. Now he doesn't care about gold. In this world in another half a year, food may be more expensive than gold.
"That's it?" Gali was hard to believe that as long as he could become an emperor, wouldn't he just occasionally hand over military power?
"That's it?" Old Hustle asked back, "Do you want me to lead you to the goddess and let the goddess tell you in person that she will protect you?"
"No..." Gali fell from the courtyard wall in fear. It is said that the dark god is more interested in human hearts and he really doesn't have the courage to gamble on the authenticity of the legend. No matter what, Gali's heart was completely let go. Now everyone on the mainland knows that this goddess was raised by the Steman family.
This winter in Shadow Moon Valley is particularly lively, not because the warm oceanic climate attracts more tourists. In fact, people who come here take refuge at this time are busy because almost every day there are giant dragons carrying treasures coming over Shadow Moon Valley, red dragons, black dragons, blue dragons, white dragons, green dragons and even rare bronze dragons and three evil dragons. Just like a gathering, the people of Shadow Moon Valley opened their eyes and asked Bach to change Shadow Moon Valley into Dragon Valley. This made the dragon shepherd Chur ashamed: "It turns out that there are more than fifty dragons in the vast continent. I wonder if the young master will blame me for not being accurate when he knows it."
What makes people in Yingyue Valley even more incredible is that the dragon clan, who used to see their treasures more important than their lives, will spit out all the treasures from their stomachs after they arrive at Yingyue Valley, and then swallow the remaining half of them into their stomachs, and then fly to the storm sea in the west.
In this case, it is like these giant dragons come specifically to give money, and the person who collects the money is of course Lola.
Lola is very smart and handed over the task of looking for dragons everywhere to the Blue Dragon. The Blue Dragon is even smarter. In addition to sending the dragon clan to Dragon God Island, she added another one. Each dragon who wants to go to Dragon God Island must also notify another dragon of the news. After taking this dragon to Shadow Moon Valley to prove it, it can be transported by Durkus through the Storm Sea to Dragon God Island. In other words, except for the first dragon, any dragon in the future must come to Shadow Moon Valley at least twice.
In this way, Lola was waiting for the dragon to come to deliver the money. After Lanlong informed a dragon, he returned to Shadow Moon Valley to wait for Lola to share the money.
To the south of the Steman Mansion, in addition to a platform that was nearly completed after working day and night, there is also a temporarily sorted flat ground to pile up treasures belonging to Lola. There is no way, the number of dragons far exceeds Lola's imagination, and some dragon treasures are too many, and they have to be transported back and forth several times. Durkus doesn't care how much treasure you can take away, and each dragon is left alone after being transported to Dragon God Island. Therefore, the treasures that cannot be transported away belong to Lola.
What Lola has to do now is to lie on the huge wealth piled up every day. When she wakes up, she turns into a human form and rolls down from the treasure mountain. She climbs up with difficulty. She repeatedly asks to clean up the treasures, she hires two people, Alice and Eugene, and generously announces that she allows you to occasionally embezzle. There is no way, and you can't count them if you have too much money.
Alice and Eugene were completely lost in this treasure mountain. They gave up their identities and worked day and night for Lola, removing the worthless fluorite and the gems of poor quality, and then transported them to the pitiful blue dragon waiting for Lola to pay. In the eyes of the dragon clan, as long as the gems shine, they would put them in their pockets when they saw the newer gems. Lola was a rare generous time, and she would definitely be sorry for her if she had less corruption.
"Oh, I almost forgot to deliver meals to Skull!" Alice stretched out her body and rubbed her painful and sore waist. Whenever this time it means that her pockets were full and she wanted to go back to make a place. Lola did not allow Alice to bring her large-capacity space ring to work for her, so Alice had to make excuses. As for delivering meals to Skull, this is true, but it would not be possible to deliver them once a day.
Lola, who was climbing on the treasure mountain, stretched out her claws and bounced the dragon's nails: "Get out!" Lola, who had been ordered by Alice for so many years, finally caught Alice for a while, and her momentum was extraordinary.
Griffili, who came to visit his family from the Spider-Hou Temple, saw this scene and wanted to kick Lola who was pretending to behave into the sea of death. With money, she was extremely arrogant!
At this moment, the sound of the piano that had been ringing in the Secret Star Tower of the Fourth Knight's Mansion for several months finally stopped. A shadow was firmly imprinted on Kang Duo's spiritual consciousness. This shadow no longer belongs to him in the past, but to him in the present. Perhaps, in the next moment, this shadow will be covered by the arrogance of divine disdain, but at least Kang Duo still remembers it now.
Since you can't find the past, then seize the present.
This is the last sentence Kang Duo saw in the book. It is the same as above. She cannot confirm whether she will remember this sentence forever in the future, so she wants to find a way to remember someone and this sentence forever.
That's why Kang Duo walked out and disappeared in front of Ursa who had arrived in a hurry.
When Condo appeared again, he had already arrived at the gate of the Spider-Hou Temple in the center of Sbrad. At the closed gate, Skeleton lay on the ground chewing on the delicious roasted barbecue. After returning from the Beast Temple to Shadow Moon Valley, his interest in barbecue was far greater than his interest in treasure. Skeleton refused to hire Lola and threw his broken axe to Delong to repair it. After Alice promised to prepare enough barbecue for him every day, she came to the gate of the Spider-Hou Temple. Just as many years ago, he was always used to guarding the door for Naihe.
Almost the moment Kang Duo appeared, Skull had already jumped up with the giant axe and stopped her without giving in. As for whether she could beat her, she could only know after she beat her. He never considered it. Before Kang Duo got angry, Skull finally swallowed the barbecue in his mouth and asked, "I...we have seen it before."
"Get out of the way!" Kang Duo's hand had already touched the hilt of the sword, and his deep cold eyes showed that she had no idea of reminiscing with a half-beasted barbarian.
Faced with Kang Duo's suffocating divine oppression, the Skull remained motionless. When Kang Duo's long sword was halfway out, the gate of the temple suddenly opened automatically. The Skull then took the side. Since they had opened, it means that Nai was willing to see Kang Duo.
After the gate of the temple opened and closed, the thick dark aura that came to his face in silence was more naturally revealed than Griffili, and Kang Duo was even disgusted. She resisted the urge to split the temple with a sword, walked to Naihe and asked directly:
"Why, you are obviously an evil dark god, but you can not be rejected by divine nature and possess the emotions of mortals?"
