When the minute hand coincides with the second, a cuckoo emerges from the wall clock and makes a "coo-coo" call.

Lily Frederick stood up from her seat and clapped her hands in the direction of the bookshelf.

When the people in the reading room heard the voice, they all turned their heads, and when they saw that it was Lily, they walked out one by one with their books in their hands, their faces slightly excited, as if they were all aware of the theme of this reading club, and even had prepared for it before.

"It's almost time."

Lily said in a solemn tone.

"Unlike in the past, tonight's book has a theme, and I think you all know it very well. That's right, it's God! ”

……

We all know that the world was ruled by God a hundred years ago. But God has not always existed, at least not all the time throughout our human history. The lineage of our Frederick family can be traced back to the middle of that era, my ancestors did experience the baptism of the age of the gods, and with the help of the general trend of that era, from an ordinary people without any roots to the nobility of the kingdom, although that kingdom has fallen in history, but the glory of our family still continues to the new kingdom, which is now the kingdom of Longen. ”

With that, Lily looked around and saw that everyone was listening carefully, so she continued.

"But in reality, without the arrival of Ragnarok, all glory and possessions are false and there is no guarantee. Even if some gods don't like to meddle in human power, humans living in their territory are still terrified. Because no one knows when God will suddenly sneeze into the ground! Oh, the analogy may be inappropriate, but it's not an exaggeration. ”

Lily picked up a book on the table and showed its pages to those around her.

"I found this ancestral inheritance from my family's collection some time ago, and it is a very clear record of the fall of the two kingdoms. These two accounts may have elicited some laughter. ”

"Say it, Lily." A boy with shawl hair and a banana-shaped face said; "We'd love to know."

The boy's name was Harry, and he was the only son of a baron.

Lily nodded, and continued, "Both kingdoms fell suddenly overnight. One of the kingdoms fell because their god suddenly turned over while he was sleeping! As for why it rolls over, maybe it's a sudden itch somewhere on its body, or maybe it just wants to change its position and continue sleeping. Who knows? In short, as soon as it turned over, it directly pressed the entire kingdom under it. All the buildings of the kingdom and the people inside were crushed to death in an instant. ”

……

No one laughed.

If this is an exaggerated story made up, some people may laugh and say that the people of that kingdom are really not worth dying.

But Lily's tone was formal, and what she said seemed to be really a fact.

A girl who had dyed her hair blonde suddenly said, "I know that the kingdom is called Babylon, and the god who destroyed the whole kingdom overnight is a giant beast that is larger than the territory of the entire kingdom, and no one knows what the name of the beast is, because it has never woken up since it came." Some people call him the god of the eternal night, while others like to call him the sleeping beast. Because it sleeps in the area, there is never sunlight in. ”

The blonde girl was named Joanna, the daughter of a viscount, who was said to have branched out from an old noble family in the royal capital.

Su Xian was surprised to find that this reading club really seemed to be able to learn new knowledge, and even Professor Barker's notes did not mention the "God of the Eternal Night" and "Sleeping Behemoth".

However, although Professor Buck is knowledgeable, he is not from an aristocratic background, lacks family background, and many hidden knowledge cannot be accessed, but the current group of students have family background as a foundation.

Once they are willing to look for it, they can always find something that others don't know.

In fact, the despair and suffering brought to the human race by the Age of the Gods are rooted in the hearts of the vast majority of people.

When Ragnarok came and the gods were gone, the older generation was pleasantly surprised to finally get rid of the rule of the gods, and on the other hand, they were extremely taboo about that era, and they didn't want to talk about it at all.

When God comes, he can only bow down.

History has lost its relevance.

They don't want to pass that pressure on to the next generation, so few people talk about it to the next generation.

After four or five generations of this inheritance, this generation of young people has no understanding of God.

……

Seeing that the atmosphere fell into a deep sleep, Su Xian took the initiative to ask, "What about the other one?" ”

Lily carefully looked away and continued, "The other kingdom, as I mentioned before, is destroyed by a sneeze. One of God's sneezes triggered a hurricane, a tsunami, and a torrential rain, directly drowning that small country in huge waves! ”

Su Xian raised his eyebrows, and subconsciously asked, "Is that a sea god?" ”

"It's the god of the sea." Lily nodded, "He calls himself the god of the South China Sea, and he is entrenched in the South China Sea!" The kingdom that was swallowed up by the tsunami that day was the kingdom of my ancestors, and the territory owned by that kingdom is the current city of Brut and the surrounding area. But the kingdom was lucky, and some of its inhabitants managed to escape, keeping a lot of the fire. In fact, one of the purposes for which I gathered everyone here was to learn more about the history of that kingdom and to learn some information about the god of the South Seas. My ancestors seem to have been very shy about it, and never described it in books. ”

The god of the South Seas once flooded the territory where the city of Brut is located?

Su Xian was a little surprised.

The legend of the moon god is spread in the city of Brut, and that is because the legend of the moon god is beautiful.

However, there is no legend that the moon god was swallowed by the god of the South Seas, so the story he heard from Professor Buck is also a secret text.

When he wasn't sure whether to tell this story, Wendy's sister over there opened her mouth first.

Wendy-senpai has long black hair, black is the same as blonde, and it is a popular hair color during this time.

She had a tiny mole in the corner of her eye, a striking feature that looked like her logo.

She spoke, "If you want to know about the god of the South Seas, I happen to know some, but only in appearance. In fact, I happen to have a painting at home that depicts it. If you're willing to wait, I can draw it live. ”
