Chapter 5, Dragons and Faith
"'Finally found'? Looking for me? ”
The dragon's golden eyes met the eyes of humans.
"Why are you looking for me?"
The Wolf of Gao on the side acted as a translator.
The scrawny human knelt down in front of the dragon with a smile of joy, and was not in the slightest frightened by the appearance of the dragon and the wolf, but showed a pious look, and said in a pleading tone:
"Great Lord of Rain, please save humanity!"
Through the Gao wolf, the dragon understood the human voice, but his expression did not change in the slightest.
"Why should I help you?"
The dragon is not a great good dragon, nor a great evil dragon, he is just an ordinary little white dragon, human beings are the first time he has seen a race without a "body", born in human form, this is a strange race for him, although he is curious, he will not help such a strange race for no reason.
The wolf translated the dragon's words to the humans, and the man became a little anxious when he heard this: "This is because the prophet, the prophet said, 'Go all the way in the direction of the rising sun, and the dragon of rain in the east will save the people.'" ”
The dragon narrowed his eyes: "Prophet? ”
Gao Wolf explained: "A person with the ability to predict the future. ”
I see, there are not a few people in the wilderness who can predict the future, such as the one who uses innate gossip.
The dragon nodded, still unmoved.
The man's eyes rolled, as if he understood something, and hurriedly said, "The prophet is absolutely right!" Great Lord of Rain! We are willing to offer you the purest faith and become your believers! ”
"What is faith? What is the use of believers? The dragon asked the Gao wolf.
It's no wonder that Long didn't know, because the era of the flood and famine he was in was fighting for his own cultivation strength, and it was not yet the era of competing for faith.
Gao Wolf thought for a moment and said, "To put it simply, faith is something that makes you 'better', and a believer is the one who provides you with faith. ”
Long Dao: "In this way, faith is a good thing. ”
I have to say that he was moved.
"It is indeed a good thing," said the Wolf of Gao, "and it is said that the gods often go to war over their faith. ”
The dragon knows what the gods are, which is equivalent to the power in the Flood Wilderness, but the gods here are different from the Flood Wilderness Powers, which often retreat and cultivate, and are indifferent to external objects, according to the Gao Wolf, the gods of this world often interfere in the lives of ordinary beings, and there have been gods who have appeared in the Forest of Morning Light and hunted countless high-level magical beasts, which has also caused the number of magical beasts in the Forest of Morning Light to plummet.
The dragon swung his whiskers, and a slender whisker stretched out in front of the man, who was in a cold sweat, but he didn't dodge, letting the whiskers point on his forehead.
"Tell me where you really came from."
The dragon's voice rang in the man's head.
He uses the dragon whisker to directly transmit the spirit and directly transmit his thoughts into his brain, and at the same time, he can also use the dragon whisker to directly absorb the mental fluctuations of the other party's thoughts from the other party's brain, so as to achieve the purpose of communication.
And in this state, the other party can't lie.
The man was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said: "I am from the western city of Afa, we did not celebrate on the birthday of the god of fire, we offended the god of fire Egg, and were punished, there has been no rain for a year, at first we can still rely on the water we have saved, but now the water source has been exhausted, no matter how we beg and make amends, the god of fire has never been able to forgive us, even in the rainy season, there is no rain at all, and hundreds of people have died in the people of Alpha. ”
"What a stingy god."
After hearing this, the dragon's first feeling was that the stomach of this so-called fire god was simply smaller than the eye of a needle, or that there was no birthday celebration, in the flood wilderness, such a day was to celebrate in private, or not to pay attention to it at all, there would be such a stirring up like here, and punish others for it.
Originally, I thought that gods and powers were similar except that they liked to descend to the earth, but now that I look at it, at least the difference in mood is really not one or two.
When the man heard the dragon's words, he hurriedly said, "Please don't say that, God is everywhere, and God will hear this." ”
The dragon narrowed his eyes: "You are a believer in the god of fire?" ”
The man hesitated for a moment, then nodded in response, "...... Be. ”
The dragon pursed his lips and said, "The Vulcan punished you for a mistake in celebrating your birthday, and you still believe him?" How stupid! ”
If it were in the flood wilderness, such a cautious god would have dared to punish him, and he would have been attacked by a group long ago.
"But it's ......"
Directly ignoring the man's statement, Long said: "You want to say that it's your fault?" Since it's a god, why don't you even have this kind of tolerance? Since there is no tolerance for others, why do you worship him and believe in him? ”
"This ......," the man was stunned.
The dragon said in a loud voice: "There has never been a god, and the so-called 'god' is just a powerful creature, and when you have the power of a god, or beyond that power, you also become a god." ”
Although he is just an ordinary little white dragon in the flood wilderness, he is also affected by the survival laws of the flood wilderness environment, so that a concept is deeply engraved in his soul - the biggest gap between gods and mortals is power, as long as there is enough strength, mortals can also defeat gods.
Therefore, the dragon is disdainful of the blind belief in humans, and even more scorns the gods with very little energy.
After the man heard this, he fell into confusion, he was just an ordinary believer, he did not have a deep belief in God, the dragon's words had a certain truth, after experiencing the punishment of the fire god, he had a trace of dissatisfaction with the god in his heart, and after hearing the dragon's words, he immediately detonated the negative emotions in his heart.
The dragon saw that the person in front of him was struggling with his thoughts, and pulled out a fan-shaped, jade-white dragon scale from his back with the dragon's whisker, handed it to the person in front of him, and said, "There is my power on this scale, and it can help you call for wind and rain." ”
The cold scales were held in the palm of his hand, he looked at the dragon scales and was silent, and after a long time, he raised his head to look at the dragon, his eyes were scattered, but his tone was extremely reverent: "Thank you, great rain lord!" You are greater than the gods. ”
"You're not afraid of being heard by the gods?"
The man refocused his gaze and smiled, "I'm not afraid, they're just powerful 'people'." ”
After worshipping the dragon, the man left with the scales.
Gao Wolf looked at the man's distant back and sighed: "It's really rare, you are so passionate, I am a little excited to say it." ”
"I just can't get used to it." "I pinned my hopes on the so-called gods, a race that had no ambition to survive more than a year in my world. ”
A few days later, the man with the dragon scales returned to what he called the city of Alpha, and with the power of the dragon scales, he summoned the rain and freed the city from the drought.
The belief of Alpha City has therefore changed from the original god of fire to the lord of rain.
