Chapter 383: Whistling
Noise and distractions were accustomed to Bran from the day he opened his magic web, but this time was different.
In the past, the noise was more of a meaningless noise for him. It's like a busy street, although it is noisy, but it is bearable. And these prayers were more like a sudden chorus of people in a noisy and crowded hall shouting his name, which he could not ignore.
Bran's gaze followed the magic net, lingering in Wings for a moment, and then continued westward until he reached the unfamiliar city, Yong'an City.
The little wizards who stayed in Winged City were not willing to be lonely, their exuberant energy had nowhere to vent, and perhaps their competitive intentions were troubled, so they preemptively established a narrow magical web between the two cities.
That's where the rolling waves come from.
......
Nicole knelt in front of the idol in a black shirt and prayed sincerely.
From the moment the gods descended on Winged City, all rumors about the night were shattered.
The sun and the moon are reincarnated, and light and darkness coexist in the world, and no single god can take their place. In the central square of the City of Two Wings, statues of the gods stand around them, like stars holding the moon.
Guangming Zhao had seen her once, and she still remembered those eyes with an inexplicable smile. Although the meeting was very short, and it was only a compliment of "you did a great job", it was the first time she felt warmth from the light.
Nicole knew what she had done and who she believed in. She preached the darkness under the day, and instead of punishing it with light, she encouraged it.
This is something she never expected.
It was also from that moment that she understood that the light and darkness of the world were two sides of the same coin, so she came together as a sister and brother.
The night whispered to her in her sleep, telling her to be in the darkness ** for the light, but she had strayed from her direction. Like Mera's apostles of light, their prayers are erasing the traces of light.
She repented of it, but she did not regret it.
Nicole didn't know why, but she just didn't regret it, even if she had disobeyed God's teachings.
Unlike the light, which held its head high, the idol of the dark night always hung its head slightly, looking at her humbly and compassionately. Nicole liked the look because it made her feel at peace.
Nicole does not lack awe, on the contrary, this awe keeps pace with the times, and she just finds it in awe. He had seen a similar look in the eyes of the gods, even if it was only a glimpse.
The light had begun to give power, and the glimmer of light in Mera's palm grew brighter, and Ryo's body flashed with holy light. Other gods are following suit and are giving power to their most devout believers.
But there was not the slightest movement in the dark night.
As a sorceress, she was able to discern the breath of the gods. The aura of the night in the Winged City only existed in a few statues of gods, and it was already imperceptible.
The gods still laughed and laughed, and did not care about it.
What the hell happened between them?
Who told her where her gods were hiding, what they were doing, and why they ignored the prayers of the faithful?
The apostles of the gods began to pay attention here. The congregation of Light built a new sanctuary here, and the rest of the congregation were not to be outdone. As soon as they arrived, these people went around proclaiming the power of the gods and creating all kinds of noise.
Their actions put pressure on Nicole.
Yongan City has always been her sole manager and has laid a solid foundation. The followers of the other gods wanted to open the situation, and they could not do it in a moment.
She gathered the people in the hope that they would unanimously preach to the outside world, but they were besieged by the people.
Everyone knows that fighting only in Winged City and Yong'an City is just a child's play of the left hand to the right hand, and it is difficult to please the gods in this way.
But those people wanted her to give up some of the interests of Yong'an City first, and then talk about the affairs of the outside world in detail.
Nicole was very angry! For them, the benefits were the number of believers below.
How could she have acceded to such an impudent demand? Can she still persuade the people here to convert? Where would this put the gods?
If she really did this, Nicole believed that not only would her status be in jeopardy, but she would also be in danger of her life.
She couldn't think clearly, who would calculate her so viciously?
Nicole knows better than anyone that everything about them belongs to the gods, and the only thing that belongs to them is the choice of faith. She had faced the true form of the night, knowing that she had been his servant ever since. Whether they believed in him or not, the status of a slave never changed.
Don't these people remember the horrors of the night, or do they think that with other gods behind them, they can ignore the prestige of the night?
This made Nicole miss Mera a little, and her cousin, despite her ambitions, did not dare to anger the other gods. All it takes is a slight reminder to retreat in fear.
And most of these people are a bunch of fools, a bunch of self-righteous bastards. The miracles of the gods in the city of Wings gave them faith. Let them think that the silent night is weak and can be bullied.
Nicole was a little tired, how could a group of people who couldn't even enter the city of wings dare to speculate on the minds of the gods? Have they forgotten that the city itself is a miracle of the night......
After that meeting, Nicole stopped coming into contact with these people, and they alone could not make waves. The city is full of believers of the gods, servants of the gods, and no one is nobler. There is a law for everything, and if they dare to act recklessly, they will only bring about their own destruction.
However, there are some demagogic fellows among them, spreading rumors and advocating everywhere. It shook the minds of some people in the city.
In this regard, Nicole just let it go.
Nicole knows that the gods have a tradition of trials. All kinds of dangers will arise in the trial, and any wavering and retreating will make them unable to reach the throne again. It is said that those Northlanders who are brothers and sisters of the gods are the gods who have been defeated to the mortal world.
So Nicole believes that faith also needs to be tested.
Like the night no longer answering them, it's all part of the trial. Only those who truly believe in it will become his ultimate constituents.
She had always believed that the power of the night did not need to be manifested by these mortal things. Faith is not giving, but begging sincerely. Begging for the acceptance of the night.
Nicole thinks so, and she does it this way. As an apostle of the night, she never had the power of the night, but only wanted to be able to return to its embrace when she died, where she would have eternal peace.
Just like when he whispered in the night, she saw hope in despair and felt peaceful.
She shares her inner feelings with others, and brings people to experience the peace and tranquility in the night. Let the children around you no longer be afraid of the dark, so that their dreams can be full of warmth.
It will also make her inner being surrounded by peace and warmth.
Lately, however, her mood had been at peace, for she had come to a grand, dark, and warm aura.
With that familiar taste, just like back then.
