Chapter 192: The Unicorn and the Maiden
The second of the Seven Heavenly Mountains, outside the Kingdom of Light.
The innocent girl, riding a horse with a single horn on the green grass walked leisurely, looking at it from a distance, she would only feel that the world was beautiful, and there was such a relaxed and suitable scene.
But this is Heavenly Mountain, the upper realm formed by the overlapping sevenfold plane where all the good things in the world converge, except for those primordial angels, other beings who can survive in Heavenly Mountain all have extremely typical characteristics of order and kindness, such an ordinary scene, but extremely unusual.
So the girl and the horse are both extraordinary, the horse is the embodiment of purity and kindness unicorn, and the girl has an exclusive name in the Old World, Rari.
Unicorn goddess, Rari.
Although this goddess with weak divine power has not been able to raise her divine power level for a long time, none of the gods who have been able to survive in the chaotic era to this day should not be underestimated, let alone the goddess among them.
No one knows whether the unicorn goddess Rari is a girl or a unicorn, but the two of them have never been inseparable, even if they were knocked down from the sky by the gods in the chaotic era, they also quietly returned to the throne.
Let's take this girl as Rarui, the unicorn carried the girl on his back and approached the location of the Kingdom of Light like a leisurely walk, although there was no problem here in the eyes of the outside world, but the direction of the goddess and the unicorn seemed random, but they did not hesitate to approach here.
The pulled space did not leave any traces, but Rari stopped when he was still a few hundred meters away from the kingdom of God, a distance that was just right for the gods, neither too close to threaten their own safety, nor too far away for the master of the kingdom of God to find out.
After waiting quietly for more than ten minutes, a tall figure suddenly appeared not far away, the perfect body shape can be called the limit of human beings, the face is neither handsome nor ordinary, the expression is resolute, the angular curves are like a knife and an axe, at a glance, anyone will admire in their hearts, and think that this is a complete tough guy.
This is Shepard's fourth doppelganger, who was temporarily recalled to the kingdom of God from the main plane, and the gods themselves will basically not have an accident without leaving the kingdom of God, although the unicorn goddess is a representative figure among the good gods, and her influence has increased after the chaotic era, but only caution is the long-term way, Shepard does not dare, and will not take any risks.
"Your Highness Rari, it's an honor to meet you." The fourth doppelganger does not have any weapons on his body, but wears a simple close-fitting clothes, exposing his perfect body, which makes the unicorn goddess who has always admired the pursuit of happiness and kindness also shine.
"Good day, His Royal Highness Tonatiu, who is powerful and bold, I didn't expect that in addition to Tampas, there are other male gods who love the beauty of health." The gods can obtain certain basic information by meeting each other, and unless they have a priesthood such as [deception] or [concealment], they will know the other party's gods and the areas of tendencies.
Rari's sweet voice was full of kindness and joy, and this pleasant voice made Shepard also say easily: "I didn't expect that the legendary unicorn goddess who had not made progress for hundreds of years had already reached the weak level of divine power. ”
The unicorn and the girl in front of him are both doppelgangers of the gods, and it is not difficult to find the level of divine power, but the interesting thing is that when you think about it deeply, you will realize that the goddess and the unicorn are actually two gods.
The appearance and priesthood of the gods are related to their personalities, for example, Sandakor likes to appear as a healthy old man with a white beard, although he is funny and kind, but he is not liked by the goddesses, who also love beauty, who likes to be with bad old men.
Among the other gods, there are few images that are normal, especially the more evil gods the more weird the image, such as Ransendel, the Lord of the Morning Sun, he often shows a sunny and energetic young man, which is favored by many goddesses, but this highness has a somewhat old-fashioned style, not as greedy for pleasure as other gods.
Rari grinned, neither explaining nor concealing, just slid down from the unicorn's smooth back, stroked the silver-white sideburns like strands of silver thread, and invited happily: "Your Highness Tonatiu, can you accompany me for a while?" ”
The clone was silent for a while, estimating the price it would pay for losing this clone, Rari waited with an unhurried smile, and after a while, Shepard nodded and said, "Okay." ”
The two walked together, the unicorn followed, and the incomparably beautiful scenery of Paradise Mountain was enough to intoxicate anyone, the green grass was as soft as a fine carpet, soft and comfortable to step on, and the breeze mixed with the fragrance of flowers and earth.
Looking far away, the green grassland is almost marginal, only in the extreme distance suddenly rises up a series of mountains, the top of the mountain is white, the snow is heavy, and the second heaven mountain is almost connected with the clear sky, almost can't tell whether the snow top is like a sea of clouds, or the sea of clouds is like a snow top.
"What a beautiful view." Rari Qiao's face was slightly red, her tone was intoxicated, both of them were clones, but Shepard was mainly shaped by holy power, but Rari's had a trace of her divine power, if something went wrong, the loss would be huge, but unlike Shepard, who only had to wait for a period of time to accumulate strength and make another one.
However, Shepard didn't mean to do anything, he didn't feel Rari's hostility, nor did he feel that he and the other party's doppelganger could stabilize his head, and when he heard the goddess's admiration, he said lightly: "The scenery of Heavenly Mountain is beautiful, I don't know where His Royal Highness Rari usually is, and you can come and walk around often when you have the opportunity." ”
Rari turned her head, her watery eyes blinked, and she said with a smile: "I usually look for guidance in the sea of books, and His Highness Tonatiu's proposal is very good, and I may come and go from time to time in the future." ”
Shepard paused, and then said casually as he walked: "It turns out that His Highness the God of Knowledge meant, I have always admired the guardian and formulator of knowledge, and I don't know if I will be able to meet His Highness Ogmar one day." ”
Rari said in a brisk tone: "There must be a chance, His Highness Ogmar has always believed that the most important thing is balance, but the main plane has not been able to maintain the balance of light and darkness for thousands of years, so that His Highness is often distressed about this matter. ”
Shepard's footsteps suddenly stopped, looked at Rari and said lightly: "Your Highness Rari, please say anything directly, between the gods, there is no need to have too many routines like humans." ”
Rari playfully stuck out her tongue: "Ah, actually, I think it's awkward to talk like this...... Since Lord Shepard said it, then I will say it bluntly, I only came to convey the kindness of His Highness Ogmar, and welcome you to achieve medium divine power! ”
"Goodwill? Welcome? Shepard's expression was uncertain, and he seemed to be smiling.
Rari nodded with a sigh: "Yes, as long as it is a new good god and a righteous god, the vigilant eye has not found any problems, that is, a member of the team of gods, as one of the several leaders of the human god system and the good god line, His Highness Ogma is qualified to express goodwill to His Highness Tonatiu on behalf of other gods." ”
Shepard smiled, "Does His Highness Lansendel think so too?" ”
Rarui frowned slightly: "Your Highness, it's rude for you to say that." ”
Shepard also knew that his words were too rude, so he bowed slightly and apologized: "I beg your pardon, Your Highness Rari, but I do want to know His Highness Ransendel's attitude. ”
"Loshanda's reaction was strange." Rari used another pronunciation of the name of the god that is rarely used by the Lord of Dawn, "These are the exact words of His Highness Ogma, the Lord of Dawn himself and his priest have not reacted much to the affairs of His Highness Tonatiu, but His Highness Ogma thinks that this may be the arrangement of the Lord of Dawn." ”
"Alright," Shepard shrugged, "It seems that His Highness Ogma can't give me much hints, does His Highness Larry have anything else to tell me?" ”
Rari grinned and said, "I'm here today not only to spread the word, but also so that His Highness Tona Diu can know some knowledge of the gods, do you have anything to ask?" ”
Shepard was slightly stunned, then accepted the kindness given by the God of Knowledge, he thought for a while and asked, "How does Your Highness know where my divine kingdom is located?" ”
Rari said cheerfully, "His Highness Safras is a servant of the God of Knowledge like me, and before I came, I asked him to prophesy the most suitable place. ”
"The power of the [God of Prophecy] is really extraordinary," Shepard nodded, he felt a moment of discomfort before, he didn't find the reason at the time, and now it seems that it is a prying eye on the power of prophecy, especially since Safras has lost his most powerful artifact, but he can still predict things related to the gods, which shows that he has a lot of experience with the rule of [Prophecy].
Shepard thought about it again, spread his hands and said, "I don't know what to ask, and I ask His Highness Rari to pick some basic things to teach me." ”
Ra Rui smiled and said: "Your Highness is too modest, you are already a medium divine power, with your own divine kingdom and subordinate gods, I dare not say that I am teaching you, I have seen beggars become kings, waste becomes legends, mortals save gods, defeat demon lords, and ascend to the position of powerful divine power, but I have never seen anyone who can become a god in such a short period of time, without arrogance or impatience, and be promoted to medium divine power." ”
"Your potential is so strong that you are already famous among the gods, so I agree with your caution, but there are still many people watching you, especially the gods who have enmity with you and may have enmity!"
Shepard's mind was racing, and he knew what Rari meant, so he sincerely thanked him: "I will not forget the kindness of His Highness Rari." ”
A crisp laugh like a silver bell sounded in Larui's mouth, and the smile was extremely sweet: "Then I thought of something to say, Your Highness should know, the power of the gods is divided into four levels, weak divine power, weak divine power, medium divine power and strong divine power, these four levels are all true gods, but the true gods are divided into two kinds, one is to rely on the power of faith to seal the gods, bear the responsibility of the world and believers, greater strength, faster progress, broader prospects, but also greater risks." ”
There was an inexplicable smile on the corner of Larui's mouth: "Believing in the true God, if the transmission of faith is cut off by someone, and there is no divine kingdom and stronger person to protect him, then even if the believer does not resent him, he will gradually shrink his godhead when he loses his faith, until his divine power disappears and he becomes a mortal; If he is cursed and resented by the soul of the believer, the world will exclude him and he will be reduced to the void and drift to death. ”
"Instead of believing in the true God, just like me, once we accept the power of faith, it will be almost the same as believing in the true God, faith can be accepted but cannot be abandoned, otherwise the price is too great for no god to bear, and if we do not accept faith, the power of the gods may not be able to progress for thousands of years or ten thousand years."
"On these two paths, there are gods walking, because their pursuits are different, but on top of the powerful divine power, there is also a level, and when you reach that level, you can connect with the Sea of the Force and be with the world, and if the main plane is not destroyed, the gods will never fall! However, since the formation of the main plane, only the Ancient Reaper has confirmed that he has reached that level, and after him, no one can catch up with him. ”
Rari's tender white fingers pinched her smooth chin, thoughtful: "At present, there are five powerful highnesses in the main plane, such as Ogmar, Lansendel, Tampas, Tyr, and Woking, and a total of five powerful highnesses with divine power are considered to be possible to step into that level!" ”
Rari turned his head and quietly looked at Shepard, but saw that his face was calm, and couldn't help but be bored: "What, aren't you curious?" ”
Shepard gave her a strange look: "I have been listening carefully to His Highness's words. ”
Rari tilted her head helplessly, sighed and continued: "But in fact, His Highness Ogma has guided us, and the possibility of the gods moving forward is related to the priesthood!" For example, I am promoted to the weak level of divine power, which is my limit, no matter how hard my followers try to expound my teachings, it is difficult to develop from the clear definition of [unicorn], although I can continue to expand my influence and increase my divine power, but it is very, very difficult to continue to improve the level of divine power! ”
"But you see, whether it is Your Highness or four of the five Highnesses, there is still a possibility of going further! Although His Royal Highness Lansendel is powerful, it is because he has been stained with part of the light of the Sun Priesthood, and his other priesthoods are not very narrow priesthoods, so he can reach the current level. ”
Shepard thought in his heart, the unicorn goddess with powerful divine powers? It doesn't seem to be very reliable, but indeed as Rari said, if the priesthood is too bad, it almost cuts off the possibility of the promotion of the gods, and every priesthood has its potential, so the gods will not easily give up any seemingly inconspicuous priesthood, because civilization and society are still advancing, maybe one day, a certain originally weak priesthood suddenly extends to a new field, and even creates a powerful divine power, it is not impossible!
Shepard accompanied Rari to walk and chat, and before he knew it, the Ruyin grass under his feet came to an end, Rai listened to the words, blinked his eyes and said to Shepard: "I have almost explained, and for the rest, His Highness has plenty of time to understand, just listen to me, and it is difficult to understand." ”
Shepard nodded: "Thanks to His Highness Rari's patience and guidance, I have gained a lot." ”
"Hehe, then I'll go back and report to His Highness Ogma, please don't forget His Highness Ogma's kindness." Rari smiled playfully, and without waiting for Shepard to say anything more, she pulled the unicorn and disappeared.
Shepard stood there for a moment, then silently turned away.
