Lin Shui built a simple boat on a deserted island on his own.

The ship has no sails, and the only power that can move forward on the sea is the manpower of the forest. Therefore, Lin Shui did not rush to the sea, but hunted some prey to make jerky, which was easier to preserve, and then hollowed out the trunk and made it into a bucket to store fresh water.

When all this was ready, he sailed away from the island on a morning that seemed to be a sunny day.

Then he drifted on the sea for three days and two nights, until the evening of the third day, when he came to land in the east. So he landed overnight and then headed east. After walking for more than an hour in this completely unfamiliar land under the cover of night, I saw an elven fishing village located on the coast by the not very bright moonlight.

The fishing village is very small, and all the houses add up to only a few dozen. Therefore, it can be inferred from the number of houses that there should be no more than two or three hundred villagers living in this fishing village.

But even so, Lin Shui still didn't dare to approach the elven fishing village in front of him. For everything in this land was foreign to him. And he was alone, with no companions by his side, and was destined to get no help.

Therefore, at this time, Lin Shui already regretted it a little.

Now that he had completely calmed down, he couldn't help but sigh when he remembered the scene when he forcibly broke into the elven portal a few days ago, "I shouldn't have been so reckless!"

With that, he straightened up and looked to the west, and after being stunned for about five minutes, he slowly took off the six-pointed star emblem necklace from his neck.

Then he knelt on the ground, holding the necklace with his hands folded, and Lin Shui, who had prayed countless times since he was a child, prayed for the first time because of helplessness.

"My lord, your servant has come alone in this strange land. Your servant has no way forward, and no companion with him. My lord, your servant does not know what to do. Now, if you can hear my prayers, please show your kindness to your foolish servant and show your servant the way forward. ”

With that, Lin Shui knelt on the ground. He sincerely hoped that the God he believed in would be manifested at this time, but a minute passed, and everything around him remained unchanged.

So he knelt on the ground and slowly raised his head, and deep down he couldn't help but become more desperate. However, he didn't think about it, but just as he was about to get up from the ground, the six-pointed holy emblem in his hand suddenly emitted a white and flawless light.

"My lord, my lord has appeared!"

Lin Shui, who was excited, hurriedly lowered his head again when he saw this scene. It's just that although he lowered his head, a white and flawless figure that could not be looked at directly still appeared in his mind.

"My lord!"

He suddenly became more agitated. The current scene is a scene that Lin Shui never dared to imagine. This made him shudder, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say.

However, the saintly Liang Tian can understand this very well. Therefore, looking at Lin Shui, who temporarily appeared in this distant place, he did not say any nonsense, but went straight to the point and said: "My servant, I need a statue. Use wood to erect a statue for me, and I'll show you the way forward. ”

"Yes, my lord. I'll do it now. ”

When Lin Shui heard this, he suddenly became motivated. Therefore, when Liang Tian's figure dissipated in his mind, and the holy emblem in his hand no longer emitted a white light, he immediately took action.

With the help of the not-so-bright moonlight, he ran briskly in three steps and two steps towards a wood. So after more than three hours, the sky has lit up and the time has come to dawn.

At this time, Lin Shui, who had already come to the depths of the jungle, finally chose a suitable tree. The diameter of the tree was about two people hugging, and the whole tree grew straight. Lin Shui was very satisfied with the tree, so when the sun was slowly rising in the east, he also made a cameo with his long sword and a logging axe.

He cut the whole tree off at once from the roots, and then removed the useless crown. Then, as he had never made a statue before, he used the sharp sword in his hand to work on the three-meter-long trunk.

And so the magic happened again. He had never made a statue, had never even been exposed to the technique, and the sword in his hand was not suitable for carving at all. But Lin Shui, who made a statue for the first time, now looks like a god.

With the extremely sharp sword in his hand, he carved the general shape of the statue in a few clicks. Then, it only took about five hours, and Lin Shui miraculously completed the work.

But at the beginning, Lin Shui thought it was his innate talent. After all, I had never been exposed to carving before, so I mistakenly thought that I was a natural sculptor.

But later, when he wanted to carve another wood carving, he found that the long sword in his hand suddenly became disobedient. It was a very simple thing to capture, but now it can't be done with all effort.

So he realized that the reason why he was able to complete this statue had nothing to do with his own talent.

"All thanks to my lord's help!" he knelt in front of the statue and bowed respectfully three times. Once again, the statue radiated a white and flawless light.

"Very well, my servant, you have done what I have done. ”

"My lord, thank you for your kindness!" Lin Shui's face couldn't help but blush when he heard this. The experiment had already made him understand his level of talent in carving. That's really a "miserable" to describe.

Therefore, Lin Shui felt that all this was all due to the help of the true god, and it had little to do with himself.

However, in the eyes of Liang Tian, who is a true god, all this is just the opposite. This place is extremely far away from the place where His essence is, and now in this completely strange land, Lin Shui is the only one who believes in Him.

So here, the power he can exert is very small. Therefore, if it weren't for Lin Shui, it would be impossible for Liang Tian to conjure a statue out of thin air no matter what.

However, Liang Tian, who was a god, would not explain all this to Lin Shui at this time. So he looked at Lin Shui, and said in that tone without sorrow or joy: "My servant, I will clear the fog in front of you and show you the way forward." You know, not everyone in the elves is magicians. Oppression and exploitation of all kinds have always existed among the elves.

So, go ahead and change that. The oppressed among the elves also deserve to be saved, to help them turn away from the wrong path and help them to follow the right path. This is my new mission for you. ”

"My lord, you mean to let me preach among the elves?"

Lin Shui immediately understood the hidden meaning of Liang Tian's words. But although he understood, he couldn't help frowning after that. But Lin Shui has little confidence in preaching among the elves.

After all, he has received military training since he was a child, and fighting in battle is his strength. Secondly, today's Lin Shui is not an affinity person in terms of face.

The previous Second Battle of Shengfeng Island disfigured Lin Shui. The elven legions not only left a long scar on his face, but also burned the skin on his face with flames.

It's a mark that's hard to get rid of. But Lin Shui didn't care before, scars are a man's medal. At first, Lin Shui felt that this was an honor.

But this kind of medal of scars may help him to deter his opponents on the battlefield, but if he preaches, who will get close to a person with a scar on his face? Although there are many wise people in society who say that "no one should judge people by their appearance", such wise men are in the minority after all. It is often the norm in society to truly implement and judge people by their appearance.

Even the church is no exception to this. For example, when the church selects large church leaders and regional bishops, those who are good in appearance have an advantage over those who are poor in appearance.

For this reason, the church even caused a small scandal a few years ago. At that time, the Anseong Church of the Xihe Kingdom had to elect an outstanding person from among the two candidates to be the head of the Anseong Church.

As a result, one of the ugly-looking candidates was defeated. The unsuccessful candidates were not convinced, feeling that their defeat was not due to lack of ability, but simply because they were not so handsome.

So in a fit of rage, he reported the vicar in charge of the matter. This led to a local green-robed bishop taking over the matter, and the bishop found out that the unsuccessful candidate was indeed defeated because of his ugly appearance.

So the bishop summoned the vicar who was in charge of the matter and questioned her. Unexpectedly, in the face of questioning, the vicar held his chest and said righteously: "People with ugly faces will only be intimidating, and the head of the church has to face the public." How can such a position be filled by an ugly person who seems to be intimidating to believers!"

To put it bluntly, ugly people can't hold up the façade. So the vicar didn't feel that he had done anything wrong.

The bishop who was in charge of the matter at that time couldn't help laughing angrily, and directly slapped the table and said: "The beauty of man comes from character. A person with excellent qualities will never be feared, no matter what he looks like.

Compared with superficial appearance, it is the stain on character that should be condemned. For example, a superficial person like you is the one who should be condemned. Your superficial stupidity almost buried the treasures of my church!"

So he reported to the archbishop, the bell, and directly removed the vicar from his position. Then the bishop organized a fair and open competition, with two candidates, one ugly and one beautiful, openly competing against each other.

Later, the ugly-faced man won the competition without any suspense.

Although most believers outside the church do not know about this matter, it is rumored to be in the church itself.

People often praised the bishop for his good character of not judging people by their appearance. But as the popularity of this matter has diminished, this incident has not fundamentally reversed people's discrimination and discrimination against appearance.

Judging people by their appearance, even if they are not advocated, is still a common problem for the vast majority of people. It's helpless.

And about this, Lin Shui is also very clear and clear. So after a moment of silence, he said, "My lord, I am willing to do my best to carry out the task you have given me.

But just as an ox cannot outrun a horse in any way, and a horse is no better than an ox in cultivating the land. Although your servant has a heart, the difference in appearance is still real!"

"Ha, rest assured, my servant, I have been prepared for this. ”

How could Liang Tian not think of this problem. So just as Liang Tian said that, the eyes of his statue immediately lit up with bright light. The light shone directly on Lin Shui's body, and then gradually concentrated on Lin Shui's face.

It made Lin Shui feel his face itch.

It's just that at this time, even if his face is itchy, Lin Shui doesn't dare to reach out and touch it. In this regard, he had to grit his teeth and endure it silently. And just like that, almost ten minutes passed. The white light dissipated, and Lin Shui slowly opened his eyes, and immediately saw a mirror made of water suspended in the air.

Then Lin Shui was stunned, "The person in this mirror is me?"

He immediately reached out and stroked his face, and the figure in the mirror did the same. But even so, Lin Shui at this time still looked incredulous.

But at this time, the scar on Lin Shui's face was not only completely recovered, but his appearance also turned into an elf. As a result, his black eyes had now turned turquoise, and his ears had become pointed.

This made Lin Shui a little flustered for a while, and at this moment, he thought that Liang Tian had really turned him into an elf.

It wasn't until Liang Tian explained to Lin Shui in a majestic voice that was not like a human voice, "Everything you see in your eyes is illusory, my servant, your essence has not changed in any way. It's just that from now on, you're going to look like this. ”

"I see, my lord, I see. ”

Lin Shui nodded slowly, and the words of the god calmed him down in one fell swoop. After all, the education he received since childhood has long been ingrained in his cognition, and the most important thing is absolute trust and absolute obedience to the true God.

Therefore, after he calmly accepted all this, Lin Shui knelt on the ground again and said, "My lord, I will not fail the mission you have entrusted to me. I'm going to do it with all my might and do the best I can. ”

"Well, I'm looking forward to it, and I'm paying attention. ”

Liang Tian said in a calm tone. After that, all the magical scenes disappeared in an instant at this time. The statue that Lin Shui had just carved out no longer emitted a soft and brilliant light at this time, and it looked like the most ordinary ordinary wood carving.

But Lin Shui apparently doesn't think so. Therefore, even though the statue no longer emitted a soft and bright light, he still bowed respectfully to the statue several times.

Then, as if some mechanism had been triggered, the statue, which was more than two meters tall, suddenly shrunk at this point. It suddenly became one-tenth of its original size, only about twenty centimeters.
