Chapter 365: The New 'God'
In autumn, the leaves turn yellow and drift down.
The temperature is gradually getting slightly colder, the north and south continents of Longtar are still in the midst of war, the Dark Qi royal family is all killed in a sudden battle, and the imperial capital, Huipu City, has also been captured.
Now the war has spread throughout the continent, intensifying, after the loss of the emperor class, between the nobles and the nobles, between the nobles and the slaves, the war is in full swing, the former slave rebellion under the leadership of Artoria, renamed the rebels, the scale is thriving, a large number of slaves joined the formation of the source of soldiers, and the adventurers looking for opportunities in various places, with their own skills, became the backbone of the rebels.
Different worlds, likewise there is no shortage of speculators.
In the center of the entire war, the core team of the rebels who erected the banner of the Holy Crow, Artoria has a lofty position in the hearts of all the rebels, and in doing things, the girl is extremely strong, and other rebel leaders will lower their posture more or less when they meet with her.
It's not just that the other party dares to lead a slave rebellion and rebel against the aristocracy at such an age, but the biggest reason is that behind the other party, there is a teacher who killed the gods.
The cult of Gash has been prevalent in the northern continent for hundreds of years, and although the southern continent is not the center of the spread of faith, it has been heard of many and tens of millions of believers, and it is said that the gods live above the clouds, and sometimes descend on the top of the Kakamoro Mountain to overlook all beings.
On the night of the arrival, the scene of the divine fire rushing down the clouds, even in the Southern Continent, many people saw it.
However, in less than a day, the supreme Glash had already hung his body on the holy mountain, and when the news spread, almost no one believed it.
However, when the corpse of the god was released in the captured Huipu City, countless believers, ordinary people, and nobles who rushed to the city looked blankly at the corpse that could not be crushed by flames, swords and guns, and then they believed that everything was true.
"Whoever can kill one god must also be another. The old man, who was quite wise, said in the crowd.
This sentence has actually been affirmed in the hearts of many people, plus the soldiers in the city at that time, and the soldiers of the Holy Crow Resistance Army who rushed over, almost all saw it with their own eyes, so the rumored weapon master Xia must be the one who killed the gods.
In the eyes of the conspirators, the other party is Artoria's teacher, and all this is clear - kill the gods of the old era, become the new gods, and support the new emperor to ascend the throne.
Invisibly, such conspiracy theories have become the main theme, and they also echo the current environment.
However, the new god who killed the god Glas has not appeared since the battle of Falls, and there is no news from anyone knocking on the side.
Even Artoria occasionally receives letters from the teacher's crows, most of which are the replies she writes to the other party when she is confused, and there is little other communication.
Only recently did she know that the teacher had gone to the Southern Continent to stay at a friend's house in a small town called Imis.
"It should still be there now. β
Now that there was no war, and the military affairs were entrusted to her, the girl changed her heavy armor, and took only the weapons given by her teacher, and a team of guards and retinues, and crossed the barren Camishil to the south of Timinoa.
By this time, the weather has turned cold into autumn.
The small city surrounded by forests, surrounded by a golden color, the river runs through the forest, the foothills, like a jade belt, across the city of Imis, the war in the outside world has not yet reached here, but more or less because of the war, the people in the city are panicked, and the once prosperous trade road, few convoys have passed.
The autumn wind was blowing, and the sky was gray, as if there was an autumn rain about to fall.
The withered yellow leaves got rid of the branches and floated on the red roofs, and the streets with few people had already laid a thick layer of fallen leaves, and people walked on them, and there was a rustling ......
Dina wore a long red dress and held a broom taller than her, absentmindedly sweeping the streets.
"My brother is older than me, why should I be swept so that he can lie down at home. β
She was fourteen years old, still not tall, and looked like a ten-year-old girl, and she complained a lot about the unfair treatment she had suffered, but she did not mention that there was another guest in the house.
I remember the last time I came to the house, stayed for a few days, asked my brother about something, and then my brother took him away and went deep into the forest, towards Mount Hunital.
When she came back, she was the only one who came back, and when Dina asked, her brother told her that Xia had gone to the mountains to practice and didn't want anyone to disturb her.
"Is it true that all people who have the ability to do this? But it is really remarkable to be able to kill a god. β
"But how can mortals kill gods, is Xia also a god?"
In her little head, such an idea suddenly appeared, which startled Dina herself, and after a while, after sweeping the street in front of her house, she was about to return to the house, and saw in the distance that at the end of the street, many people came, all riding expensive long-haired sitting beasts.
The person at the head was a young girl, with short blond hair hanging down only to her ears, wearing a very ordinary underwear, but a heavy sword hanging diagonally behind her told the people around her that she was not easy to mess with, and the knight who followed behind, faintly exuding a bloody atmosphere, obviously had been on the battlefield and killed people with her own hands.
The tall, long-haired seated beast snorted and stopped not far from Dina, and the blonde woman above raised her face, looked at the roof, then at the letter in her hand, and then at the girl who was stunned in place with a broom.
She turned over, greeted Dina politely, and pointed to the two-story building next to her, "Excuse me, is the owner of this place surnamed Winter?"
Winter was the last name of the Dina siblings, and the girl holding the broom nodded, "Are you looking for my brother......?" I ..... to call him. β
Suddenly, a beautiful woman came to my brother, and I thought it was my brother's woman, but the pomp seemed to be a bit big......
"But my brother, that guy, sleeps and eats all day long, how can such a beautiful woman take a fancy to him. β
muttering a few words, Dina was in the other party's sight, and quickly ran back, pulling up Maikanoi, who was still holding the pillow on the bed.
"Brother, there's a beautiful woman looking for you outside. β
"Huh?!"
Hearing his sister's words, Maikanoy, who didn't want to get up, turned over and stood up directly, glanced out the window, hurriedly retracted, and found a decent looking dress from the closet to put on his body, and then ran downstairs in a panic.
Until he opened the door, his panicked expression instantly became solemn, and he stood in front of the blonde woman opposite.
"Excuse me, beautiful young lady, are you here for me?"
"Yes and no, I found it on the basis of this letter, my teacher, who wrote to me a month ago to tell me that he was temporarily staying with you. β
The blonde woman was none other than Artoria, and she handed the letter to the bearded man with a collapsed expression on the other side, and smiled, "This is his handwriting." β
"Uh...... It's really Natsu's handwriting......"
Maikanoi knew that Xia also learned the language here a few months ago, and the handwriting was even more unfamiliar, and the handwriting was even more crooked to the point that it was difficult for others to imitate.
"But Xia, don't live here with me now....."
"Where is the teacher, please take me to him. β
"It's ..... okay, but it's a bit far, you woman, don't be weak to walk by then. β
As soon as these words came out, a group of knights who got off the mount over there burst into laughter, the woman with short blond hair can endure hardships better than any of them, and if she can't do martial arts, she contacts every day, and if she can't ride a mount, she almost sleeps on the back of a long-haired beast, and she has never lagged behind in a long journey, and she is very ruthless to herself, otherwise it is impossible to convince the public.
Soon after, to the laughter of the knights, Maikanoy prepared some deworming medicine, and then mounted a mount prepared by the blonde woman, and led the group all the way to the east of the forest.
In the forest of Imis, there are naturally many fierce beasts, but when they encounter a team of hundreds of people, they dare not attack easily, and they pass through the dense forest, and the time is already dusk in the afternoon.
Maikanoy pointed to a place in the majestic mountains ahead, "Summer is over there." β
Following the direction he pointed, a waterfall flowed down the mountain wall, falling vertically at a height of hundreds of meters, and in the diffuse water vapor, across the rocks in the middle of the waterfall, you could vaguely see the silhouette of a figure behind the water curtain, sitting cross-legged.
The tremendous impact of the waterfall washed over his head, shoulders, and even his entire body, without a trace of trembling.
Artoria, who had all her knights wait by the river below the waterfall, climbed up the mountain wall alone, only to find a man-made path at the top, ending in a thatched hut, a polished table, and stone benches.
A green-skinned goblin was lying on the ground, basking in the rays of the setting sun, and on the roof, the familiar blackbird was squeaking with a few colorful birds.
Whoa......
The sound of water sounded in front of her, and Artoria withdrew her gaze and approached the waterfall respectfully, looking at the silhouette of the person in the curtain of water flowing down, and lowered her head slightly.
"Artoria, meet the teacher. β
Inside the waterfall, in the flowing curtain of water, Xia also opened his eyes.
"Why are you here?" Although he communicated with the woman occasionally, it was also a way of communication that he chose to avoid being too lonely, and taught the other party some knowledge by the way.
But the girl suddenly came over, which still made Xia Yi feel a little surprised.
"As a student, it is my duty to come and meet her. The woman untied the heavy sword behind her back, respectfully put it against the mountain wall, knelt down on one knee, and whispered, "...... I also have some confusion, and I need the teacher to mention it in person." β
"Your goal has become confused?" Xia Yi said lightly.
"No...... There is also a little. β
Then, the waterfall that flew vertically rolled upside down and rushed up, and in the gap, Xia Yi stood up from the rock and walked out.
"Actually, this is the normal psychological reaction after suddenly hitting the enemy's capital, after all, the enemy's yellow places are dead, what else to fight, right? β
Walking out of the figure, patches of white mist steamed into the sky, and the wet clothes and hair were steamed and dried as they walked, and there was no wet trace.
"......But this kind of thinking is bullshit, the emperor is dead, those nobles are still there, and a new emperor will come out at any time, then your enslavement will continue. β
"So what should the student do?"
"Only by establishing a new kingdom can there be a chance to overthrow the original system, and the new order needs a new emperor and aristocracy to complete. β
In front of the half-kneeling woman, Xia Yi stopped in front of her, helped her up, and patted the dust off her shoulders: "Do you understand what I mean?"
"Support a new emperor?"
Xia Yi smiled, looked at the still innocent woman in front of him, and paused word by word: "You come to be, Empress Altoria, is this title very fresh?"
"I'm afraid this ......"
"Don't worry, the teacher is covering you in the back. β
As he spoke, Xia Yi walked past her and walked towards the hut over there, and the words continued, "By the way, isn't Gash's body still decomposed?"
"Nope. Artoria took the heavy sword and quickly followed: "No, the students have tried many methods, and some mages and priests have cast spells, but they have not been able to cut her body open. β
"That's kind of weird. β
Xia Yi, who was walking in front, frowned, before he used Fang Tian to draw a halberd to penetrate the other party and nail it to the mountain wall, and also felt that the other party's huge vitality was disappearing, and after that, the corpse was brought back by Artoria who had invaded Huipu City, and he had talked about it in several letters, and even later, Xia Yi asked someone to bring Fang Tian's halberd over to try, however, Grash's corpse seemed to have become the hardest metal in the world, difficult to penetrate.
During this period, Xia Yi had to go over in person, and what he felt was like a coffin, without any breath of life, so it was guessed that after the death of this god, his body became a soul coffin.
After quietly monitoring for a while, and there was no change, he quietly returned here, continuing to rely on the impact of the waterfall to counteract the increasingly powerful irritability in his body.
With the battle with Glash, after the weapon resonates, the enchantment of the Snow Drinking Knife, the fall of the Frost Sorrow, and even the will of the Great Sage are all clamoring, and sometimes there is an urge to destroy everything.
No matter how strong his body is, Xia Yi's consciousness and soul are just mortals, and he can't do the attitude of a god who has a pure heart and few desires and regards life like an ant.
"Turning around, I'll go with you to Blass City and bring back Glash's body, and I'll take care of it myself. β
However, while speaking, the 'Ninth Master', who was originally fighting with other birds on the roof, suddenly raised his head, and Xia Yi also stopped his voice abruptly, as if he had some kind of induction, and raised his head.
Above the sky, floating white clouds swirled and swirled, revealing a hole in which there was a black void.
Teleportation Node ......
The strange and familiar words rushed out of his mouth, and a trace of emotion flashed in Xia Yi's eyes, and his figure suddenly rose from the ground, his feet stepped on the mountain wall, and with a kick, the gravel splashed and rushed into the sky.
"Ninth Master, let's goβ" he shouted.
The weapons placed in the house also rushed out when the crows flew off the roof, and the startled quack, instinctively reacted, jumped up, hugged one of them, and flew towards the figure in the sky.
The uproar intertwined in mid-air, pushing Xia Yi, who was already tired, to borrow his strength again and rush into the sky.
The clouds float like silk in front of you.
Getting closer, getting closer.......
"Go back!!"
Approaching the spinning sky clouds for a moment, Xia Yi's speed soared to the extreme, but just as he was about to rush in, the swirling white clouds suddenly dissipated, and the exposed void gradually closed.
The figure turned into an afterimage and pounced, the palm of the person's hand, the palm of the spar stretched out at the same time, grabbed the edge of the closure, the closure of the space, instantly cut out the blood of his palm, the crystal left hand, the red stone all grinded out of the debris, and sprinkled towards the waterfall below.
Artoria below hissed, "Teacherβ"
Everyone sitting by the river got up and looked up when they saw the vision, their vision was too far away, a little blurred, and Maikanoy opened his mouth wide: "Xia has become a godββ"
However, in the sky, hysterical voices rang out.
"Why did it disappear, who did it-"
With both hands exerting all his strength, Xia Yizhou's body was up and down, his skin cracked to reveal dangerous red lines, and an unparalleled terrifying force strangled the slowly closing space, and the squeezed wind pressure distorted the air, and around the top of the mountain, a violent storm rolled out.
"Ahhh
The roar that resounded through the heavens and the earth, accompanied by the blood pouring out of his hands, Xia Yi's arms bulged, his eyes were blood-red, and the spatial barrier that was still shrinking had a faint tendency to ease, however, it still shook violently and accelerated to close.
"Home !!"
He roared!
The figure pushed his weapon and crashed in, and at this moment, the empty void shrank and turned into black spots.
The swirling celestial clouds returned to their original state.
To the west, the remnants of the sunset shrouded the heavens and the earth, and far to the north, the body of the god lying quietly in the coffin in the city of Huipu City, there was something that could not be seen by the naked eye, leaving the body, flying into the sky, and burrowing into the black dot that disappeared rapidly.
The end of nothingness, in the spread of time and space.
The waves crashed against the reef, and the red light spread across the earth, and the corpses buried under the earth were breaking through the earth.
The battle beyond human imagination begins.
