Ryujin was serious enough to see the slightest hint of a joke - and of course, there seemed no need for a god to joke with Amber like that.

Amber's bright expression stiffened for a moment.

"I'll just say it," Gawain couldn't help but glance at Amber and said casually, "Your Shadow God's Chosen Self-Feeling is really not caused by drinking too much once?" ”

"No...... It shouldn't be! Amber suddenly became excited, even in front of the dragon god, she couldn't help but raise her voice, "I'm really God's choice, I've been God's choice for decades...... I also talked to the goddess, and the goddess taught me a lot of things......"

Gawain felt a little crying and laughing: "What did the goddess teach you to do?" ”

"Spoon or something...... And bake little pancakes......" Amber said immediately, but as soon as she said half a sentence, her voice suddenly became quieter, and became quieter and quieter, "Of course there is more than that, of course...... Of course, there are still some very powerful things......"

Gawain: "......? ”

Even Gao Wen, who has the richest reserve of riots in this era, feels that Amber's words are becoming more and more outrageous at this time - he has never asked Amber in detail what he has learned from the "Shadow Goddess", and he suddenly heard about it at this moment and didn't react for a long time, and he now suspects more and more that Amber really had the illusion of the Shadow Chosen after a serious alcoholism, after all, normal people would not get drunk like this if they have two peanuts......

However, although Amber's voice was weak, the expression on her face never wavered.

“…… Child, your statement is ...... Funny," the dragon god finally couldn't help but break the silence as well, looking at Amber with a strange expression that neither Gawain nor Veronica noticed was that his expression was not one of disdain or denial after hearing something ridiculous, but one of some kind of ...... "But you know what, the Goddess of Shadows I know...... It is simply impossible to cultivate any divine choice in the human world of this era...... He can't even respond steadily to earthly beliefs, so you think it's possible for such a god to talk to you and even teach you wonderful ...... Knowledge? ”

Amber's eyes widened slowly, as if at a loss, and then her gaze turned to Gawain, and there was even a hint of plea in her eyes—she still seemed to want to hold on to what she had always believed, but today she was confronted with the most irrefutable and powerful doubt of her life, a god, a god who was stranded in the world, telling her that what she had always believed was impossible.

Amber, who is always elated, doesn't seem to be happy at the moment.

Gawain noticed Amber's mood change, he hesitated and patted the other party's shoulder, and then suddenly frowned and looked at the dragon god Enya: "You say that the Shadow Goddess can't even respond to the beliefs of the human world stably?" ”

"There are many sects in Loren, and the vast majority of mortals have a faith—but have you heard that the Shadow Church has a well-formed doctrine and a tight organization? Have you ever heard of the Shadow Order and the Shadow Priests who are on the move? ”

Veronica on the side shook her head, "No—the faith of the Shadows has been weak and ...... since the beginning of recorded history Chaos, although there are indeed shadow-inclined god feedback, and there are some gifted people who are able to perform shadow miracles similar to divine magic with the support of spiritual talents, these unformed faith activities have never formed a formal church. As far as I know, the Shadow Faith has only a few loose, secretive small sects operating in relatively remote areas, and its doctrine is chaotic, and many of them are just crook groups that deceive ignorant farmers, and we have cracked down on more than one of these groups since the establishment of the Imperial Theological Administration. ”

Speaking of this, she glanced at Amber slightly: "As the head of the intelligence department, you should also know this. ”

"I ...... I do know," Amber was a little depressed, "but that doesn't prove ...... either"

"Because the gods do not have strong feedback, the church cannot form a stable and unified theological system, but the weak feedback of the gods always exists, so the believers have developed a thousand strange and even contradictory teachings according to their own understanding and even according to their own illusions, this is the current situation of the Shadow Goddess," the dragon god said lightly, "Therefore, it is impossible for him to respond to you, let alone elevate you to the chosen one." ”

"Why is the Shadow Goddess in this state?" Gawain immediately asked—judging from the other party's description, the Shadow Goddess's state is obviously abnormal, and no matter whether the Shadow Goddess is abnormal, as long as the information related to the gods is not normal, he will never let it go, "And if the Shadow Goddess can't give strong feedback and can't be promoted to the Chosen Divine Choice, then Amber has always believed in and connected with ...... Who is it? ”

"Yes, yes," Amber immediately looked at the dragon god and asked, and then she suddenly reacted and turned to Gawain with a look of incredulity, "Ah, you...... Didn't you always believe that I could reach the gods......"

Gawain glanced at her, "I can believe it now." ”

The dragon god looked at Gawain and Amber, he didn't seem interested in their communication, but casually responded to Gawain's question, "About the state of the Shadow Goddess...... I do know a lot, but before I answer, I want to ask you first, how much do you know about the secrets of the gods of ancient times? ”

"The secrets of the gods of antiquity?" Gao Wen's heart moved, feeling that the other party seemed to mean something, but he still maintained a calm posture on the surface, "What do you mean?" ”

"For example......" the dragon god looked into Gawain's eyes and said unhurriedly, "There was once a group of powerful beings called the Voyagers who killed almost all the ......gods of that civilization one million and eight hundred thousand years ago."

The hall was instantly silent.

Amber's eyes widened, and Veronica sat up straight in shock, as if they were both suspecting that they had momentarily hallucinated - that the gods would fall, as they already knew, but they were clearly unaware of the ancient god-killing fleets and the war that killed almost all the gods.

Gawain's expression was equally stunned - he stared at the god sitting in front of him, but he didn't doubt what the dragon god said, because he already knew what the dragon god was saying, he just didn't expect the other party to suddenly say all this.

The dragon god knew about the battle of killing the gods...... This was not something Gawain expected, as he had already guessed that the god had been active from ancient times to the present day. Since the dragons have endured the demon tides again and again, witnessed the changes of civilization again and again, and have a great relationship with the "Voyager", then the gods they believe in must have survived with civilization for the same long time.

Gods and civilizations are the same age—these are the rules that Gawain and his experts have come up with after studying the operation of the gods in detail.

But the dragon god actually said this like this, and said it in such a frank and unscrupulous way......

Gawain suddenly realized that his trip to Talrond was probably one of the best choices he had ever made, and now he ...... At least he finally knew the exact time of the god-killing battle in ancient times—1.87 million years ago.

"The Starter...... Killed almost all the gods of that civilization 1.87 million years ago? Veronica finally couldn't help but break the silence, "It's ......"

"This is something I've experienced personally," Ryujin said lightly, "I can't tell you more details, because even I can't tell a mortal what happened at that point in time and before that point in time without being able to do so, but I can tell you that it all happened in real time." ”

"And what does all this have to do with the Shadow Goddess's special state?" Gawain couldn't help but ask.

"If you know that the gods have died, then you should also know that the gods are reborn in each season of civilization," the dragon god looked at the mortals in front of him, talking about the fall and resurrection of the gods as if they were talking about the weather, "I guess...... Surely you've gotten this far, right? Even...... You are already planning to use this knowledge to do something very bold. Needless to deny, it doesn't mean much to me. ”

Amber's eyes widened suddenly, as the intelligence chief, she was extremely sensitive to intelligence leaks: "How did you know? ”

"As long as you have a general idea of what you have been up to lately, it is not difficult to guess what you know," Ryujin said indifferently, "I can see a lot of things, just because I have seen a lot of things." ”

Gawain became more and more cautious in his heart, and he realized that the seemingly gentle god in front of him would be the most difficult opponent to deal with if he had malicious intentions—even the power of the god aside, this ancient being was far superior to mortals in terms of knowledge, experience, and wisdom, and even to any existing god. How much more does He know? How many things has he guessed? Was He aware of the plan of disobedience? Was he aware of the "theological experiments" of Cecil's empire? Did He see through the minds of others like Himself? He saw through ...... Are you a "visitor from outside the world"?

Gawain could barely control his thoughts of going deeper, he could only control his thoughts while maintaining a superficial composure, nodding slightly: "We did find out about the rebirth of the gods in each season of civilization, and roughly guessed the birth mechanism of the gods...... But what does this have to do with the Goddess of Shadows? ”

"The Shadow Goddess has not been born again—He has survived, from that war 1.87 million years ago, to the civilizational changes in between, to your appearance."

Gawain was dumbfounded.

"You're surprised," Ryujin looked at Gawain with a nonchalant smile, "but you don't have to be so surprised, after all, the Shadow Goddess is not the only god who survived the war one million hundred and seventy-seven thousand years ago, but the other god who survived was much worse off than the Shadow Goddess, and he is not much different from a complete fall now......

Gawain frowned slightly: "...... you mean?"

"He fell from the kingdom of God into the depths of the earth, and although he was badly wounded at the time, He had a chance to recover...... Unfortunately, before he could draw nourishment from the new season of civilization, a group of uninvited guests came to this world, and the unlucky guy became someone else's nourishment. ”

Gawain had already reacted: "God of Storms......"

There are very, very many things that the dragon god knows!

"In other words, there are two gods who survived the war in antiquity, one is the Shadow Goddess and the other is the Storm God," Gawain continued, but remembered something halfway through, "Wait, it should include you......"

Ryujin just kept a smiling expression, as if acquiescing, but did not respond.

"So the Shadow Goddess survived and hibernated in a special state?" Gawain finally pulled the topic back again, "So her situation is very special, she can't give strong feedback to believers, and she can't elevate herself to the Chosen Choice from among believers?" ”

"That's true."

"What kind of state is that?" Gawain's curiosity had already risen, "Yes...... Fake death like Amorn? Or an escape like the goddess of magic? ”

"Unfortunately, even I don't know that," surprisingly, Ryujin shook his head, "I can't see Him, I can't hear Him, I just know that He's alive, in a very special state...... I tried to find His whereabouts, but in all the areas I could reach, I found nothing. ”

"So there are things you don't know...... Gawain couldn't help but shake his head, then he glanced at the amber next to him and looked at the dragon god again, "Well, according to what you said, the situation of the Shadow Goddess is so special...... It's true that she can no longer be elevated from the mortal to her own Chosen God, so the question comes back to the beginning - Amber says that she has a connection with God, so what does she believe...... What the? ”

The dragon god didn't answer him immediately, but seemed to smile, and his eyes fell on Amber: "Child, do you still firmly believe that you are the chosen one?" ”

Amber opened her mouth, as if to hesitate, but soon she puffed up her chest: "Of course! ”

"Frankly, I don't believe in any faith connection between you and the Shadow Goddess, I don't even see any faith connection to the gods in you, no matter how confident you are, I'm the same judge," Ryujin said in a calm tone, staring at Amber, "but I'm willing to believe in your special ...... Even if you're not God's Chosen One, you're special, which is interesting to me. ”

"Special?" Amber scratched her hair, "What do you mean?" ”

The dragon god gave her a deep look, but didn't say anything.

Then the god rose from his seat—and it seemed to Gawain that it was very abrupt, and he said to those present, "It's getting late, and we can talk about it first." ”

Gawain was a little surprised, he subconsciously spoke: "But I still have a lot of questions......"

"Yes, I know you still have a lot of questions, especially a lot about the gods, about Talrond," Ryujin cast a look that seemed to be quite meaningful, "I'll answer you, but not today."

"Don't be in a hurry to hear the answer from the gods, you might as well see it with your own eyes first.

"I want you to take a good look at Tallund first, and take a serious look at it with your own eyes, and take a look at it...... This 'cradle of eternity' under the protection of the gods. By the time you've seen it, we'll probably have a smoother conversation the next time.

"You'll know what you're going to ask and you'll understand my answers better."

Gawain gave a thoughtful expression.

Then he nodded, "Well, that's your kindness as well - we shouldn't say no." ”
