Chapter 22 Chapter One
I look around and say:
"The weather like this recently is very suitable for finding beehives and then picking them down."
I always feel like there should be a good beehive here.There are a lot of flowers blooming here, and there is a wide and clear stream.Of course, the quality of honey will be better if the water is very clean.why?Because there must be clean water to moisten, the flower can make good honey.I also like the acacia forest a little further away.Bees must have hoarded the finest honey lately in preparation for the winter.
Usually if I go to find honeycomb, it is to extract beeswax to make candles.But now I want to eat some special food during the trip.Spread honey on pancakes and everyone in our line of work is sure to want to eat them like hell.Would you like to make some honey cakes?
"Hey, brother Nieder, our purpose is very clear, and we are travelers with little time. We are not some leisurely vagabonds!"
Carl said sternly.Indeed!We are the ones who should be galloping like crazy.But it is not an easy task to gallop wildly through the autumn fields.Not only because the surrounding scenery is so charming, but also, if we ride a little faster, we will feel the cold wind biting our bones.This is due to the continuous decrease in body temperature.Now, the sky is covered with thick dark clouds, and if you are unlucky, it may rain.
"When we get to the next territory, each of us should buy a big cloak."
This is what Shan Sen said, and Karl nodded.I looked at Iluli, she... didn't seem to feel too cold.
No, it should be said that she didn't seem to feel cold at all.
"Iluli, won't you be cold in that leather coat?"
"Cold? Ah, I can't be cold. We elves are attuned to all weathers."
I think so too.They also seem to be called 'Ubinje's young children'?Even in a blizzard of ice and snow, Iruri might not be affected at all.That said, she could wear that handsome leather coat all year round.
"From the way I look at this road, I should be able to see a territory or a village soon, right?"
Shan Sen nodded after hearing my words.
"Of course! What do you think I am? I always judge the location of the village very accurately, and then decide the route."
"You deliberately arranged that when you want to drink, the village will appear?"
"almost."
Well, it's almost evening now, according to what Shan Sen said, the territory should appear soon, right?Even if not, farmland and orchards have gradually begun to appear here.Shan Sen pointed to the hill in front of him and said, "It should be behind that hill."
We climbed the hill, and immediately saw what a territory looked like before us.What is the difference between a city and a territory?In fact, you can know if there is a lord's mansion.I saw a building that looked like a mansion at the other end of the village, and guessed that it was more likely to be a territory.If that mansion was the home of the mayor, it would be too big.Because that's almost as big as a castle.
We stopped a little on the hill and looked at the territory.A dark cloud hangs over the territory, and the territory under that cloud looks very low and deserted.Ellie said:
"This village is weird!"
I've felt this before too.I didn't see anyone.But it's also possible that people don't like being outside because of the cloudy weather.Shansen asked Yi Luli:
"Iluli, what's so strange?"
"There are no shadows anywhere."
"what?"
What a strange answer!I took a closer look at the city below the hill. Although it was a little far away, I really couldn't see the shadows that every building should cast on the buildings next to it.
"But, could it be because there is no sun now?"
Iluli shook her head worriedly.
"But there is light! Then there should be shadows. Otherwise, at least the color of the buildings should have different shades! However, please look at the walls of the buildings in that city, whether it is the front , or sides, are all the same color. All buildings are the same, no matter which side they are, they all show the same color."
We found out that was indeed the case, and at that moment, I felt an overwhelming sense of dread.
Yes, that is indeed impossible!Oh my god, all four sides of the building are the same color, how could that be?Even if it is the same gray, because of the light, the front will be bright gray, while the side will be dark gray, there should be a difference!However, those buildings seem to be pictures drawn casually by children who haven't learned how to use light and shade. The colors are exactly the same!
Trembling and trembling, I hastened to stop the horse.The others stopped their horses too, and looked at each other with frightened expressions.We looked at the buildings again.
"Shan, Shansen! What should I do?"
Shan Sen bit his lip and replied:
"I don't know. This city is obviously the territory of Karal... In my geography book, it only says that this place is famous for corn wine, and there is no other explanation."
"But, but I don't feel that this is a city where people live!"
At this time, Carl spoke heavily:
"No way, brother Niederfa, this is a city with people."
I looked in the direction Carl was pointing and saw someone appear for the first time.The man was standing in the middle of the road, looking at us standing outside the village entrance.
The man was wearing a black robe, so loose that it looked like he was wearing a bag.The waist was clamped with something. Seeing how thin this person's waist was, I could barely see that it was a woman.Her hair is black, but there are also some discolored red hair mixed in, which is completely different from Iluli's black hair.The hair covered both sides of her face, and we had difficulty making out her nose and mouth.
We walked towards the woman, but as we walked, it felt terrifying to be closing in on the buildings around us.Not because they're weirdly shaped, messy or damaged anywhere, just because, just because they're all the same color on all sides!This is already a village where the law has collapsed.What kind of tricks does the light play under the dark clouds to cause this phenomenon?
Just then the woman said sharply:
"Go back! Go back!"
We were very frightened, but our horses were even more frightened than we were.The horses raised their front feet and began to neigh as if they heard the cry of wild animals.
"Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee
In order not to be thrown off the horse, we all held onto the horse's back tightly.And at this moment, we were not the only ones who were frightened by the woman's shrill cry.
"Gah! Quack, quack, quack!"
I feel like the sky is almost covered.A large flock of crows flew up from behind the roofs of buildings in all directions, flying around.The black feathers of those crows fluttered down like fallen leaves.The wailing of the horses, the crowing of the crows, the feathers that obscured our vision, and our uneasiness, all of which scared us out of our wits.
I heard another shout.
"Why did you fly out?"
That was Iluli's voice.Surprisingly, Iluli and her horse 'Li Xuan' were not impressed at all.Iluli looked at the sky and shouted:
"Are you looking for food? Or are you looking for a place to sleep? Or are you looking for lost children? Go back! Innocent birds, captivated by flashing things! Go back to your nests, back Go to those warehouses with the shiny stuff!"
The crows all flew down.But they stopped on the eaves or the edge of the roof on the building, or the corner of the balcony, and kept looking at us.Iluli looked at them and frowned.Fortunately our horses have begun to calm down.Carl smoothed his unkempt hair, then looked at the crows around in a panic, and said:
"It's really strange! There is such a commotion here now, why doesn't anyone come out?"
He shook his head, then asked the woman in front of him.
"Excuse me! We are travelers passing by here, we just want to stay here for one night, but you tell us to go back without any consideration, can you tell us the reason?"
The woman pushed her hair back, and that's when we got a good look at her face.Her face was similar to her ragged clothes, and it was also very dirty, with mud and water all over her face.Looks like a madman.The woman stared at us with piercing eyes.No, it's not us, she is looking at Iruri.Iluli looked at the woman's eyes with a faint gaze.
The woman said to Iluli:
"The young children of Ubinie...the race of the forest. How dare crows make a fuss in front of you who are infinitely noble! Hehehe! You are worthy, you are worthy of being elves! If lowly human beings are with you, who will not be transformed How about a noble character like yours?"
Iluli blinked her dark eyes, then turned her head away.She turned her horse around, and said to us:
"Let's go back."
"what?"
"Let's back off from here. I'll tell you why later."
She closed her mouth tightly as if she didn't want to say anything more.We turned around and left inexplicably.The sight of the woman and the crows staring at us from behind made my back burn.
We crossed again across the vast farmlands outside Karal's territory, and Iluli remained silent.Shan Sen looked very anxious, and I was equally anxious.Karl sometimes turns his head to look behind him, then tilts his head in thought.
The dark clouds were getting thicker and thicker, and it almost made people think that it was night.Even Shan Sen joked: "Maybe I need to get a torch!" ', however the sky is indeed gloomy to such an extent.After crossing the farmland, we returned to the barren hill with a mountain road leading to the village. At this time, Iluli got off the horse.We all got off our horses too, and walked up to her.Iluli covered her face with her hands as soon as she sat on the ground.She remained lost in thought for a while, then looked up at us.
"Please sit down!"
"Ah good."
We sat on the ground weakly.Iluli said in a low voice:
"That woman just now is not human."
"what?"
"When I say she's not human, I don't mean that the woman is an orc or a goblin, a race completely different from humans. But if she is human, she is a very different kind."
"What the hell does that mean?"
Iluli looked in the direction of the village and said:
"If you are a human being, you should be able to obey the two gods Ubinie and Hoganes at all times. The two gods Ubinie and Hoganes are very concerned about human beings, and they always want to intervene in human affairs. Life. On the contrary, we elves obey Calanbel, so it is difficult for Hoganes to interfere with us. The dwarves obey Carlis Newman, so on the contrary, it is difficult for Ubinie to interfere with the dwarves."
Shan Sen and I just nodded blankly, while Carl nodded as if he understood quite well.Although they are nodding the same way, there is such a big difference!Iruri put her arms around her knees as if feeling cold.Huh?Elves feel cold too?She said:
"But that woman just now only had the aura of Hoganez."
"what?"
"It's not just that woman. All the walls of the buildings in that territory are the same color, which is evidence of a loss of coordination. There is already a place that ignores Ubinje's weighing platform. It is really incomprehensible. "
Those words didn't get us all excited.Because neither Shansen nor I care much about theology.I am the blessing of Tokar, and some knowledge has been poured into my head, but that is just knowledge, and it cannot arouse any emotions.
But as far as I know, Ubinie is coordination, and Hoganes is chaos.Rather than saying that the two are gods, it is better to say that they express some kind of law or tendency.But they are generally referred to as personal gods.
There can be neither harmony nor chaos in all things.There can be no coordination without chaos, and there can be no chaos without coordination.So the two create time for symbiosis.Because of the time, the two can coexist, and it is because of Ubinie and Hoganes that both are satisfied.Everything can work.After chaos comes harmony, and out of harmony comes chaos.
However, this is a very complicated principle.
Take humans as an analogy, humans obey both Eubines and Hoganes.If only Yubine ruled the human race, the world would be very boring.For example, things like luck are mostly gifts from Hoganes.In case the dice are thrown six times and six appear, it can be said to be very lucky, but this is actually a confusion of the law of probability, which is the grace of Hoganes.One who is favored by Hoganes had better be a gambler.But from the same point of view, Hoganes can also give people very unscrupulous bad luck.If the dice came up with one six times after being thrown, that was also the power of Hoganius.And it is said that Hoganes is also a god believed by warriors.Coordination requires the existence of two or more things to coordinate.That is, something is coordinated with something, and if it is said to be coordinated by itself, does that make sense?The principle of action of the soldiers is the enemy and me, one of the two will die, so Hoganes will bless the soldiers.
However, the warriors sometimes complained about Hoganes.If after a lot of practice and hard work, you are still accidentally knocked down by a weaker enemy, then that is Hoganes' joke.So those fighters who work hard will hope that Ubinne will bless them.But they violated Ubinye's will because they slaughtered the enemy.What about fighters who don't work too hard?Of course, I hope that with the help of Hoganez, I will be lucky enough to defeat the enemy.But they will be killed in a coordinated manner according to Ubinje's will.Urbinie, however, does not actually want either of the two to die.Because coordination requires more than two existing things... This is really very, very complicated!After hearing such a statement, I completely lost interest in theology.
In short, if you ask priests such questions, they can probably discuss it for a lifetime.Since I am not interested in this, I am satisfied with knowing so much.Anyway, Hoganes and Ubinie are very high-level gods. In fact, they cannot be called the laws of the universe as gods, and they do not directly believe in their religion.All religions, however, identify Ubine and Hoganes, subservient to the gods beneath them.
I just memorize this knowledge in my mind, but I can't feel it with my heart.So I looked at Iluli with a blank expression, on the contrary, Carl made a very worried expression, the difference between the two of us.Carl said worriedly:
"How...how could someone only have the aura of Hoganez?"
"I don't know either. But a possibility occurs to me."
"Which possibility?"
"Who is the god under Hoganes? In other words, who is the god who can powerfully spread the breath of Hoganes?"
Carl blinked and said in a low voice:
"Do you think there is the land of God?"
"possibly is."
"Oh my god!"
Carl let out a scream with a pale face.Shansen and I stared blankly at each other.Shan Sen silently said with his mouth only:
'What is that? '
'I do not know either. '
Karl was in a trembling state for a long time.In that atmosphere, we couldn't rush to ask questions.So we've been bending our fingers back and forth.Finally I couldn't help it, and when I was about to speak, Carl spoke in a heavy tone, as if he hadn't spoken in ten years and was speaking for the first time.He said:
"If it is said that the gods come to the earth..., this, if it is the gods under Hoganes, there are halflings and Deferi who crosses the road, Karis Newman who is dwarves and fire, half-orcs and Valencia who is vengeful, Leti of swords and destruction, crows and disease..."
At the end, Carl's eyes suddenly lit up.Ellie nodded.
"The greatest crow, the first source of infectious diseases, the gravekeeper who only guards the grave."
"What does that mean? Only guard the grave?"
Iluli answered my question, she said:
"That is to say, only guard the grave, not the corpse. Either dig it up and eat it, or take it out and destroy it..."
"Who is that?"
"Keaton."
Here is Carl's answer.Keaton, yes Keaton.This is a name I don't know, so it can be seen that it should not be a very famous god.Anyway, if it is the god of disease, it must not be very famous.I looked at Shan Sen, but he also looked very scared.So I asked Carl:
"Katon is the god of disease? Does anyone believe in this god?"
Carl nodded heavily.
"In the western woodland where we live, she is considered a relatively unpopular god, but in the southern woodland, she is a very famous god. Especially in the city of Ifas in the southern woodland, there is a deity called It’s the two-headed crow Geroy who is the incarnation of Keaton. I heard that the citizens of that city even paid tribute directly to it.”
"Huh? There are two heads?"
"Yes, I heard that it symbolizes that the disease can be contracted regardless of day or night. It is said that even if one head falls asleep, the other head will still be awake."
Shansen and I both blinked.I really want to go there and have a look.But the southern woodland is not in our itinerary, so it seems impossible to see it!Shansen said:
"So, what did Keaton do in that city just now?"
"It's likely that Keaton's priests did it, or something that contained Keaton's power was accidentally spread to that village."
"Well, shall we go and have a look?"
Regarding my proposal, both Iluli and Karl sighed.what?I scratch my head in embarrassment.
"What's wrong, is my proposal inappropriate?"
"Of course it's not inappropriate. We are human beings just like them, and Miss Cherenier also follows the law of Urbine, so seeing such a situation, of course, she will not turn a blind eye and ignore it."
Ellie nodded.
"yes."
"But it's too dangerous for us to do this. The power of that god is everywhere there. If we go in, what exactly are we going to do..."
I scratched my head again.
"Well, that, if some Keaton's priest is there to practice Keaton's law, we will beat that guy hard and drive him out, or if Keaton's things are exerting influence there If we don’t, we’ll throw that thing somewhere, or destroy it, isn’t that all right?”
Carl smiled, but looked weak.
"Hey, brother Niederfa, you are quite right. But everything on that land obeys Keaton's law, maybe even the air on that land obeys Keaton's law We are moving according to the law. We left quietly just now, so there is no danger, but if we do something against Keaton’s law on that land, then maybe there will be no air in an instant, or we The ground under our feet will disappear. No, no, that’s Keaton’s divine presence, so we are very likely to be infected with many diseases in an instant. If you suffer from heatstroke and frostbite at the same time, how will you feel?”
"...Are you kidding me?"
"I'm not kidding. God's Landing is always like this."
I shivered and asked:
"What is the presence of God?"
"God's Landing is the land where God descended. It's a very scary thing!"
The word "God's coming to the ground" seems to be very sacred and great.But according to Karl's explanation, it is a hell formed on the ground.A place more frightening than hell, at least for creatures living on the surface. "In God's Land, everything obeys the law of only one god. Well, brother Niederfer, brother Fisher, we actually live under the laws of many gods. If we live in the law of only one god If you obey the laws of a god, you will not be able to live on the contrary. For example! If there is a place where the gods of Dwarves and Fire Caris Newman come to the land, I am afraid that even the dwarves cannot live there. Because the fire is there The only thing that exists. Because everything will be burned. And assuming the elves and the pure Calanbele..." Carl paused after saying this, but Iluli didn't show any special expression, she continued Carl's words. "It will be suffocatingly pure. All land must be virgin land, so it cannot be exploited, and all forests must be untrodden woodland, so no forest can be entered at all; all mountains must be virgin peaks, So they can't climb up the mountain. Besides, they can't have children because virgins don't give birth to children." Although Yi Luli had no such intention at all, the tone of the last sentence was really ridiculous, so Shan Sen and I both smiled slightly.As soon as Iruri saw us laughing, she looked at us in surprise with an expression of "How can I laugh when I hear such terrible words?"Shan Sen coughed a few times, and then said: "Hmm. So there's only disease in that land?" "It should be. This may have happened not long ago. Otherwise, the news should have spread all over the place." "We have to solve it by hand." "Yeah, this is not an ordinary and serious matter. But it should be regarded as God's work, and we ordinary people can't get close to it." I was very upset in my heart, and I asked: "Is there no way at all?" "I don't know either. Because this phenomenon itself is very rare. No matter which god wants to exclude other powers other than its own power in a place, it needs to pay a very high price. This is almost impossible things." "But hasn't it become such a place?" "Maybe there is a very powerful consciousness, or there may be an extremely powerful magic item there. Maybe it is a treasure in the legend. If you know what the cause is, there may be a way to solve it. To coordinate everything, to endow everything with advantages and disadvantages. Even if it is extremely powerful, it must have its weaknesses. But those of us who know more about theology...Miss Xie Renier?" "I don't know much about theology either." "Oh... so what should we do? There is no other way. Let's try to go to the nearest temple. Brother Fisher?" "yes." "We need to rely on the power of the temple. Where is the temple near here?" Shan Sen took out the geography book from his luggage, he turned to a few pages of the Karal territory and its surroundings, and after a few careful glances, he buried his head in the book, so low that his nose almost touched the book. "Damn it, it's too dark, I can't see clearly." I don't know if it's because of the dark clouds, but the sky has become very dark.Iruri looked at the sky and said: "The dark clouds are too thick to cause insufficient light. That... Huh?" Iluli quickly stood up from the ground.She raised her hands suddenly, pushed back her hair, and looked up at the sky.What happened? "What's wrong? Iluli?" "Those clouds, those clouds, are really strange. Don't you think it's strange?" "Are you saying those clouds... are weird?" Shan Sen and I stood up and looked at the clouds carefully.What's so weird about those clouds?Well, it looks very likely to rain.But it seems that this is not what Yi Luli wants to talk about. "If this is Keaton's God's Landing, there shouldn't be these dark clouds hanging over it. Although I don't know much about theology, I also have a little common sense. The so-called diseases are usually febrile. It is a disease that causes fever, but the symbol of the disease is usually a high fever that is about to burn. If this is Keaton's God's Landing, there should be very hot air, or it is very dry air." "...That's right! So?" "Those clouds were summoned by someone! Let's go!" She jumped up nimbly, then ran to pack her bag, and jumped onto Ritsu's back at the same time.How did she manage to jump on a horse without stepping on the stirrups or holding on to the saddle?I can't jump on a horse like that even without armor.Maybe Iluli can ride easily without a saddle!But because of the luggage, the saddle is needed.As we slowly mounted our horses, Iluli sat on the horse and began to chant spells. "Under that breath, life floats, you who see everything and belong to nothing, please lead me to the one who asks for your toy." Summoning the Wind Spirit, she concentrated on looking up at the sky for a while.Then she looked back at us and said: "Okay. Come with me, please." Then Iluli started to ride forward, she was galloping at the normal pace of a horse, so we were able to keep up with her.We followed Iluli and rode forward at a fast pace.In order to concentrate on the wind spirit, Iruri seemed unable to ride very fast. We walked for some time in a circuitous way along the outskirts of Caral's territory.How long will I have to run along the low hills of the barren mountains?Suddenly, we lost sight of the trees and a vast hillside appeared before us.We also see lots of pink spots over there.Ellie nodded. "It seems to be Cosmos and Edbroy, the God of Storms. Coincidentally, Cosmos bloomed on that hillside!" Iluli's eyes can see so far.That's when we discovered that the pink ridges were full of cosmos.Although the hillside is a gentle slope, it has a good view, and it is very suitable for overlooking the Karal territory.We rode a little closer, only to see a certain shape among those cosmoses.The man was standing among those cosmoses, so he could barely see a little bit of his upper body and head.But because the cosmos kept swinging when the wind was blowing, it was impossible to see clearly, and the man was wearing a robe, so he couldn't see his face at all.But as soon as he heard our approaching hooves, he turned his head slowly.Thick clouds dimmed the light, and I still couldn't make out the face under the robe. When the wind blows, the pink waves of the cosmos just ripple.He straightened his body.Wait, how could he stand up straight?So, he was squatting just now... My goodness!His height must have exceeded five cubits, and it is no exaggeration to say that he was close to six cubits.Is that human?Is it possible for a person to grow so tall?He carried a heavy scepter with an iron hoop, and I thought it was a pillar pulled from somewhere.He turned the hood of his robe behind his head.At this moment, Shan Sen and I both grabbed our respective swords, then clenched our teeth nervously. And what emerged from under the bulge was the face of a troll! Iruri jumped off Risen's back.I shivered and said: "Iluli! Dangerous!" But Yiluli didn't even listen to me, so she walked towards the troll.The troll looked down at Iluli, who was not as tall as his belly.God!As long as that troll swings his staff, Iluli's body will be broken into pieces!Yi Luli was wearing a white blouse with a leather coat and leather pants on it.It looks nice, but it's not armor!However, Iruri calmly began to speak. "I'm Iluli Cherenier. Are you the priestess of Cosmos and Storm?" Priestess?The troll opened his mouth and said: "Yes. My name is Adeline." Ellie turned to look at us.Her expression was like 'why don't you introduce yourself? '.This, a little, because, alas, but!We stared at her with our mouths open.Finally Iluli gave up, she said: "From the left, Shanson Fisher, Karl, Shuki Niederfa. They are the people who walked with me." The troll bowed his head and greeted us politely. "It's a pleasure to meet you. In the glory of the wind-blown cosmos." Carl stammered and responded: "For the glory of the petals that calm the storm, um, the glory, so..." Even Karl is like this, let alone Shan Sen and me.Although we had already let go of the hilt of our swords, we still looked at this troll 'woman' named Adeline with alert eyes in panic.Adeline 'smiles' at us.Her fangs are so pretty! "You must have been taken aback." Karl said with chills: "You, aren't you a troll?" "As you can see, I'm a troll." "But, but why did you become Edbroy's priestess?" "Because of my faith." I finally couldn't help but interjected: "Well, will this fit your character? And can Edbroy's temple accept you without saying anything?" "It certainly fits my character, and of course I became a priestess after I was accepted by the temple. It's a matter of course." She said so many 'of course' in a row that I didn't say anything more.In short, she believed in Edbroy, followed her teachings, and became a priestess after being accepted by Edbroy's temple. All these processes can be realized one by one because they fit Adeline's character. .But!She's still a troll after all! "Well, your other races, well, that..." Still unable to pull myself together, I could only stammer, and then Adeline smiled. "I'm really sorry. I seem to be being too rude. Well, I knew what you wanted to ask me from the beginning. You thought 'troll priestess, weird' didn't you? You meant to ask me 'Since it's a giant Demons are supposed to be the kind of monsters that catch people and eat them, how can they become priestesses strangely', eh? Because such a question makes me sad, I became rude without realizing it. I'm really sorry !" Only then did Karl regain his composure and replied: "We can't say we didn't think so just now. I'm sorry, how did you become a priest?" Adeline didn't answer anything, she turned her head in the direction of Karal's territory again.During the time the woman (as we shall call her for the time being!) has been speaking to us, the clouds over Karal's domain have become less thick, and a little sunlight has shone.Adeline bared her teeth worriedly, and started muttering and muttering... because she's a troll. "The sun is the power of Hoganes. Although I want to keep the sun from shining down, it's really not easy! Right now, a very strong sun's heat is shooting down from above the cloud." Ellie nodded. "I thought it was like this too. I thought it might have been covered by dark clouds in order to hide the sun." Adeline looked at Iluli, then tilted her head.But why, in my opinion, even such an action is considered dangerous? "Excuse me, do you know anything about that territory?" "We went in there just now, and came out again. It seems to have become Keaton's God's Landing, isn't it?" Adeline smiled slightly.I think Adeline almost jumped up when she thought Iluli might be delicious. "As expected of Ubinie's young child. Yes, exactly. Now..." Adeline looked at the sky from a distance.Unknowingly, the sun was about to set, and the sunlight that shone through the clouds turned into a red light.A little bit of red light shines into the gray city, which looks beautiful.But there is Keaton's divine presence, a place where only one rule is followed.The law is: 'All things are diseased. ' "The sun is going down. That's enough for today." Adeline nodded, then turned to face us after speaking.God, we're on horses now, and we're only up to her eye level, and it's scary.Adeline says: "May I treat you all to dinner?" I ended up with goosebumps of fear.
The word "God's coming to the ground" seems to be very sacred and great.But according to Karl's explanation, it is a hell formed on the ground.A place more frightening than hell, at least for creatures living on the surface. "In God's Land, everything obeys the law of only one god. Well, brother Niederfer, brother Fisher, we actually live under the laws of many gods. If we live in the law of only one god If you obey the laws of a god, you will not be able to live on the contrary. For example!

I was very upset in my heart, and I asked: "Is there no way at all?" "I don't know either. Because this phenomenon itself is very rare. No matter which god wants to exclude other powers other than its own power in a place, it needs to pay a very high price. This is almost impossible things." "But hasn't it become such a place?" "Maybe there is a very powerful consciousness, or there may be an extremely powerful magic item there. Maybe it is a treasure in the legend. If you know what the cause is, there may be a way to solve it. To coordinate everything, to endow everything with advantages and disadvantages. Even if it is extremely powerful, it must have its weaknesses. But those of us who know more about theology...Miss Xie Renier?" "I don't know much about theology either." "Oh... so what should we do? There is no other way. Let's try to go to the nearest temple. Brother Fisher?" "yes." "We need to rely on the power of the temple. Where is the temple near here?" Shan Sen took out the geography book from his luggage, he turned to a few pages of the Karal territory and its surroundings, and after a few careful glances, he buried his head in the book, so low that his nose almost touched the book. "Damn it, it's too dark, I can't see clearly." I don't know if it's because of the dark clouds, but the sky has become very dark.Iruri looked at the sky and said: "The dark clouds are too thick to cause insufficient light. That... Huh?" Iluli quickly stood up from the ground.She raised her hands suddenly, pushed back her hair, and looked up at the sky.What happened? "What's wrong? Iluli?" "Those clouds, those clouds, are really strange. Don't you think it's strange?" "Are you saying those clouds... are weird?" Shan Sen and I stood up and looked at the clouds carefully.What's so weird about those clouds?Well, it looks very likely to rain.But it seems that this is not what Yi Luli wants to talk about. "If this is Keaton's God's Landing, there shouldn't be these dark clouds hanging over it. Although I don't know much about theology, I also have a little common sense. The so-called diseases are usually febrile. It is a disease that causes fever, but the symbol of the disease is usually a high fever that is about to burn. If this is Keaton's God's Landing, there should be very hot air, or it is very dry air." "...That's right! So?" "Those clouds were summoned by someone! Let's go!" She jumped up nimbly, then ran to pack her bag, and jumped onto Ritsu's back at the same time.How did she manage to jump on a horse without stepping on the stirrups or holding on to the saddle?I can't jump on a horse like that even without armor.Maybe Iluli can ride easily without a saddle!But because of the luggage, the saddle is needed.As we slowly mounted our horses, Iluli sat on the horse and began to chant spells. "Under that breath, life floats, you who see everything and belong to nothing, please lead me to the one who asks for your toy." Summoning the Wind Spirit, she concentrated on looking up at the sky for a while.Then she looked back at us and said: "Okay. Come with me, please." Then Iluli started to ride forward, she was galloping at the normal pace of a horse, so we were able to keep up with her.We followed Iluli and rode forward at a fast pace.In order to concentrate on the wind spirit, Iruri seemed unable to ride very fast. We walked for some time in a circuitous way along the outskirts of Caral's territory.How long will I have to run along the low hills of the barren mountains?Suddenly, we lost sight of the trees and a vast hillside appeared before us.We also see lots of pink spots over there.Ellie nodded. "It seems to be Cosmos and Edbroy, the God of Storms. Coincidentally, Cosmos bloomed on that hillside!" Iluli's eyes can see so far.That's when we discovered that the pink ridges were full of cosmos.Although the hillside is a gentle slope, it has a good view, and it is very suitable for overlooking the Karal territory.We rode a little closer, only to see a certain shape among those cosmoses.The man was standing among those cosmoses, so he could barely see a little bit of his upper body and head.But because the cosmos kept swinging when the wind was blowing, it was impossible to see clearly, and the man was wearing a robe, so he couldn't see his face at all.But as soon as he heard our approaching hooves, he turned his head slowly.Thick clouds dimmed the light, and I still couldn't make out the face under the robe. When the wind blows, the pink waves of the cosmos just ripple.He straightened his body.Wait, how could he stand up straight?So, he was squatting just now... My goodness!His height must have exceeded five cubits, and it is no exaggeration to say that he was close to six cubits.Is that human?Is it possible for a person to grow so tall?He carried a heavy scepter with an iron hoop, and I thought it was a pillar pulled from somewhere.He turned the hood of his robe behind his head.At this moment, Shan Sen and I both grabbed our respective swords, then clenched our teeth nervously. And what emerged from under the bulge was the face of a troll! Iruri jumped off Risen's back.I shivered and said: "Iluli! Dangerous!" But Yiluli didn't even listen to me, so she walked towards the troll.The troll looked down at Iluli, who was not as tall as his belly.God!As long as that troll swings his staff, Iluli's body will be broken into pieces!Yi Luli was wearing a white blouse with a leather coat and leather pants on it.It looks nice, but it's not armor!However, Iruri calmly began to speak. "I'm Iluli Cherenier. Are you the priestess of Cosmos and Storm?" Priestess?The troll opened his mouth and said: "Yes. My name is Adeline." Ellie turned to look at us.Her expression was like 'why don't you introduce yourself? '.This, a little, because, alas, but!We stared at her with our mouths open.Finally Iluli gave up, she said: "From the left, Shanson Fisher, Karl, Shuki Niederfa. They are the people who walked with me." The troll bowed his head and greeted us politely. "It's a pleasure to meet you. In the glory of the wind-blown cosmos." Carl stammered and responded: "For the glory of the petals that calm the storm, um, the glory, so..." Even Karl is like this, let alone Shan Sen and me.Although we had already let go of the hilt of our swords, we still looked at this troll 'woman' named Adeline with alert eyes in panic.Adeline 'smiles' at us.Her fangs are so pretty! "You must have been taken aback." Karl said with chills: "You, aren't you a troll?" "As you can see, I'm a troll." "But, but why did you become Edbroy's priestess?" "Because of my faith." I finally couldn't help but interjected: "Well, will this fit your character? And can Edbroy's temple accept you without saying anything?" "It certainly fits my character, and of course I became a priestess after I was accepted by the temple. It's a matter of course." She said so many 'of course' in a row that I didn't say anything more.In short, she believed in Edbroy, followed her teachings, and became a priestess after being accepted by Edbroy's temple. All these processes can be realized one by one because they fit Adeline's character. .But!She's still a troll after all! "Well, your other races, well, that..." Still unable to pull myself together, I could only stammer, and then Adeline smiled. "I'm really sorry. I seem to be being too rude. Well, I knew what you wanted to ask me from the beginning. You thought 'troll priestess, weird' didn't you? You meant to ask me 'Since it's a giant Demons are supposed to be the kind of monsters that catch people and eat them, how can they become priestesses strangely', eh? Because such a question makes me sad, I became rude without realizing it. I'm really sorry !" Only then did Karl regain his composure and replied: "We can't say we didn't think so just now. I'm sorry, how did you become a priest?" Adeline didn't answer anything, she turned her head in the direction of Karal's territory again.During the time the woman (as we shall call her for the time being!) has been speaking to us, the clouds over Karal's domain have become less thick, and a little sunlight has shone.Adeline bared her teeth worriedly, and started muttering and muttering... because she's a troll. "The sun is the power of Hoganes. Although I want to keep the sun from shining down, it's really not easy! Right now, a very strong sun's heat is shooting down from above the cloud." Ellie nodded. "I thought it was like this too. I thought it might have been covered by dark clouds in order to hide the sun." Adeline looked at Iluli, then tilted her head.But why, in my opinion, even such an action is considered dangerous? "Excuse me, do you know anything about that territory?" "We went in there just now, and came out again. It seems to have become Keaton's God's Landing, isn't it?" Adeline smiled slightly.I think Adeline almost jumped up when she thought Iluli might be delicious. "As expected of Ubinie's young child. Yes, exactly. Now..." Adeline looked at the sky from a distance.Unknowingly, the sun was about to set, and the sunlight that shone through the clouds turned into a red light.A little bit of red light shines into the gray city, which looks beautiful.But there is Keaton's divine presence, a place where only one rule is followed.The law is: 'All things are diseased. ' "The sun is going down. That's enough for today." Adeline nodded, then turned to face us after speaking.God, we're on horses now, and we're only up to her eye level, and it's scary.Adeline says: "May I treat you all to dinner?" I ended up with goosebumps of fear.
