859 The heart of the gods and the heart of mortals, we are all crippled
"Didn't you swear to dedicate yourself to Kem, to Order?"
The idol Theresia said sarcastically, exactly the same tone as the one who had just mocked Ariel: "But you have not overcome your love for Richie, your love for your daughter, you have fallen into his trap, stupid woman! Your mortal heart has been lost in Richie's soul world, and you have broken the oath you once made!"
The mortal Theresia shook her head: "I didn't ...... I just want to know more about that world, and I got a lot of inspiration there, and a lot of what I'm doing now, isn't that the inspiration I get from there? I found the eternal order that can be implemented in the mortal world, and now the only question is the heart of the gods, which is how you are going to achieve eternity. ”
"We are one, I must exist, I must understand mortal love. Whether it is the love for Li Qi or the love for his daughter, it is the need for the mortal heart to touch the true soul of hundreds of millions of mortals. ”
"If you want to abandon me and become a pure god, you will only repeat the mistakes of Kaim and Kayla. In order to establish eternal order in the mortal world, it is necessary to ensure a state of unity between man and God. I am not breaking my vows, and my love is in the service of our eternal order!"
The idol Theresia said indifferently, "It's ridiculous that you want to use such logic to confuse the hearts of the gods. It is true that we need to remain one in order to pursue eternity, but what is the difference between this situation and those vile and shameless ants who twist the will of Kem? My divine will cannot be fully asserted, I am being twisted by the love of those mortals of yours, the weak will of those mortals!"
"Deal with this lump of meat and let Ariel make the container. You and I merge into one, sit on the throne of the Order, and Ariel acts as a puppet, or find a few more puppets and correct each other. In this way, we can avoid being distorted by the will of mortals, which is the most feasible way. ”
"No ——!"
The mortal Theresia's tone turned angry, "Aren't you worried that I'm going to have a problem with our fusion because of guilt?"
"You ignored the danger that Sylvie faced before, because you wanted to get Sylvie's soul!"
"You showed no mercy to Catherine, you had already killed her, if I hadn't pulled you back!"
"You have been relieved since the attack on Mentor Medi and have been preventing me from searching for the whereabouts of my mentor. Because the Guru is always supporting me and wants me to keep my mortal body, my mortal heart. ”
"You're trying to devour me completely, aren't you?"
"Don't think!"
Although this Theresia had a big belly, the golden flame that burned under her anger made her face the idol without showing weakness: "I do swear to dedicate myself to the eternal order, if you can do it, I will not hesitate to give up everything!"
"But you can't! What happened to Kem and Kayla proves that pure deity hearts cannot last forever, and I must find a new path!"
"The path I can see now is to keep my presence and assert my will. Instead of leaving everything to you, and then being distorted by the faith of mortals over a long period of time, gradually corrupted and degenerated. ”
"Tell me, how can I avoid the inevitable fate of the other gods by your words alone?"
In the face of the mortal Theresia's repeated questioning, the god Theresia was silent.
There was silence in the grand soul hall for a while, and the god Theresia said: "So you actually believe in the set of god theories that Li Qi and Xiaohong said? Their theory is still a stage after the new god, using the heart of a mortal to control the heart of the gods, that is, the so-called super god, you want me to be your slave?"
This means that mortals are qualified to do so, which negates the purity and impartiality of the gods, and the eternal order you seek is essentially a game between mortals. ”
Mortal Theresia sighed, "That's also wrong, but you don't have eternity." Without the heart of an eternal deity, what qualifications can I say that I am eternally pure and impartial? ”
Theresia's tone remained unchanged: "Yes, we are all broken, and only eternity can make us truly one, across mortals and gods." ”
He turned his head to look at Ariel, who was drenched in the warmth of the fireworks, and her will tossed and turned in agonish pain and happiness.
I vaguely heard him say: "This is not contradictory to deal with Ariel, we need a container, now only your body can no longer carry the attention to mortal affairs, I need more outlets, you just need to interpret it." ”
"Stop!"
The mortal Theresia's voice was like a cool spring, condensing Ariel's consciousness a little.
"Don't you understand, you must obey me completely in mortal matters!"
"I will judge your request, and I will try to find the best of both worlds, and you must not compromise my integrity and ...... Normal. ”
The idol Theresia said indifferently: "Is this how the boundaries are drawn? ”
The mortal Theresia said, "Of course not, you are still Keira Teresia, I am sure that your abnormality is because it is still mixed with Kayla's will, if Kayla has any other ideas, it will be dangerous to use a clone." Kayla, are you there, why don't you talk to me?"
Statue Theresia...... No, it wouldn't look like it was quite Theresia, the towering figure floated, missing a lot of detail and not making it seem real enough.
He said, "The will of Kelastro is very weak, but it is very stubborn, and it is unwilling to dissolve, as if it is left with some obsession. ”
The mortal Theresia snorted, "I knew that the way you looked had something to do with her, and I would solve this problem as soon as possible." ”
Ariel's consciousness finally went dark, but this time it wasn't painful, just too tired.
On the high platform, Theresia remained upright, silently staring at Ariel who had fallen to the ground, the golden light in her eyes still flickering.
After a long time, the golden light faded, revealing the original gray pupils, and then a ray of pity floated.
Theresia sighed faintly and raised her hand, and Ariel's body floated out of thin air and landed in her arms.
Pressing her hand on Ariel's forehead, Theresia whispered, "Ariel, this is not a fate you can carry, so you can rest well." ”
Golden light overflowed from her hands, seeping into Ariel's body, her body twitching slightly, and her face, wrinkled by the damage to her soul, stretched out to reveal a relaxed and even happy smile.
Theresia thought again, the door slowly opened, and a team of guards in gold armor walked in and knelt down in front of the high platform.
These guards are the elite of the Hand of Order, their ornate armor carved with runes, obscured by bright red cloaks, and even their faces obscured by helmets, revealing only a blazing pious light from the slits of their eyes.
Ariel's body floated down the platform and floated in front of the guard.
I heard the God Emperor say, "Princess Ariel's soul has been damaged, and she has been temporarily transferred to the palace of the Holy Ladder City to recuperate. ”
The guards bowed their heads in unison, and then the captain picked up Ariel and exited the hall with a loud footstep.
In the empty hall, Theresia whispered to herself, "Before my daughter grows up, I really need a ...... who can share the secondary work Spokesperson. ”
Her gray eyes flashed with a slight golden light, and she nodded suddenly, and said in a self-deprecating tone, "I almost forgot, I still have a son." ”
The golden light in her eyes flickered brighter for a while, and after the golden light faded, Theresia looked a little tired, and her body sank into her seat, and she spat out a long turbid breath.
She took off the ring, and the girl who seemed to be frozen in eighteen-year-old Theresia disappeared, replaced by a pot-bellied, motherly young woman Theresia.
She stroked her abdomen gently, her eyes were far away, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
After enjoying this moment of tranquility, she put the ring back on and her body returned to its original state.
The smile on her face disappeared little by little, and her expression gradually became solemn, and she raised her voice: "Serensara!
..................
Alanis, the royal capital of White Jade City, which was originally destroyed by the Divine Punishment Curse of Kem, has been rebuilt from the ruins, and the new White Jade City is even more magnificent and beautiful, because it connects the north and south of the Imperial Road, and the inhabitants here are far more than before.
On the artificially piled low hill to the east of the royal capital, the palace built of white jade was as strong and precipitous as a fortress, and was covered by a protective barrier with a faint purple light, like a miracle.
The magnificence of the royal capital and the royal palace makes the people of Alanis subconsciously feel proud, and the current Alanis is far stronger than the old Alanis. What's more, most people, whether nobles or commoners, feel that life is much better and freer than before. When the Paladins ruled the kingdom, the traditions of isolation and asceticism did not allow people to maintain peace of mind.
This is the kindness of His Majesty the Emperor, of course, His Majesty Jon, the little king who lives in the palace, also plays a great role, as a religious priest of the order, His Majesty's duty is to convey the voice of the people of Alanis to His Majesty the Emperor, and His Majesty's trust and love for His Majesty Jon is also an important reason for Alanis's rebirth.
Countless people of Arranis are praying to His Majesty the Emperor as well as to His Majesty Jon, wishing him good health and more dedication to the country.
In the depths of the palace, King Jon of Elanis, who was a step taller than Valentine during the war, ran wildly, and several attendants shouted and shouted after him, but he couldn't catch up with the little boy who was less than ten years old for a while.
Jon ran all the way through the royal hall, out of the main castle of the palace, and into the building that looked like a temple in front of the main castle.
Running into the bright and wide hall, Jon suddenly stopped, not daring to make too much noise, and even his rough breathing was suppressed with great effort.
But his excitement could not be concealed, and he whispered, "Offlyn......"
A woman had just finished praying in front of the idol when she turned to look at the king.
This is a beautiful and calm girl, with short corn hair and a tall posture.
She glared at Jon in disgust, lowered her voice and said, "I have received an oracle from His Majesty the Emperor, come here to pray first, and thank Your Majesty for your trust and favor." ”
The king obediently came to the statue and knelt down to pray to the statue of Theresia. In addition to the prayers, there are also childish fairy tale sayings such as "Thank you for giving me such an opportunity, I will definitely work hard".
Taking Jon's hand out of the temple, Paladin Offrin began to nag, prepare this, preview that, Jon listened obediently, not only impatient at all, but also with a happy smile on his face.
"Why did His Majesty let Jon go to Valentine? Princess Ariel didn't go. ”
Offlyn confessed in her mouth, but her heart was full of doubts: "If you are preparing for the regency, compared to Jon, Princess Ariel is more qualified, right?"
A few days ago, there was indeed news from Valentine's side that His Majesty the God Emperor wanted to find someone to regent.
It's not that the God Emperor wants to entrust the empire, it's just that he can find someone who can deal with the details, so that the God Emperor can concentrate on important affairs. It is not that the Divine Emperor is dissatisfied with the Prime Minister, but that the Prime Minister, as the head of the imperial officials, is destined to have difficulty judging right and wrong from the perspective of the entire empire and balancing the relationship between all parties.
Thinking of the news circulating on the Trade Winds Network, Overlyn was extremely uneasy: "Could it be that Princess Ariel was really captured by the Crimson Church?"
She looked at the little boy who was blushing with joy, and her heart was filled with deep worry: "When Jon sits in the position of regent, the situation will be even more dangerous, can Jon withstand it, will there be no problems in safety? Such a young child, why does His Majesty the God Emperor ......?"
A spirit interrupted her overflowing motherhood, and Offlyn hastened to confess to His Majesty the God-Emperor.
Anyway, it's an oracle.
Jon was found by Overlyn from the farmer's family to escort him to the throne of Alanis. She took Jon as a younger brother or even a son, but such a mortal affection was insignificant in the face of the will of the gods and the overall situation of the empire.
She was in a trance, when Jon suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Look! Your Majesty's Floating Fleet!"
"Jon!"
Offlyn scolded in a deep voice, and Jon realized that he had lost his temper and didn't dare to jump and jump like a monkey anymore, but he was really panicked when he scratched his ears and cheeks.
Offrin chuckled and looked up at the sky, and was shocked beyond words.
Above the blue sky, dozens of floating ships leisurely swept through the air. The slender and elegant body, white as snow, diffuses a sacred and powerful aura, cruising the sky like an angel.
The palace resounded with cheers and gradually spread to the entire royal capital. More than 100,000 people cheered in unison, rejoicing in the strength of the empire.
..................
"The Chaos Angel Legion of the God of Knights appears outside of Epsilon ......"
"The Empire's main floating fleet appears in the sky above White Jade City......"
"Theresia should get moving, we need to get going!"
In the Pantheon of Beta, Litch walked out of the office and greeted the witches with his sidekick assistant.
"The main fleet appears in White Jade City?"
Aurora followed him into the elevator and asked in amazement, "If you came from the north, why did you pass through White Jade City?" Wouldn't it be better to maintain an altitude of thirty or forty thousand meters and directly cover your whereabouts?"
Li Qi laughed and said: "It's true, Theresia shouldn't personally command the fleet, she will go to Erxiang, but she has made a detailed plan of action for the fleet, and she still uses the wisdom she learned in the spirit world." ”
Aurora snorted unhappily: "You are really guilty, you have rolled the sheets with her for several lifetimes, taught her everything in the earth world, and cultivated a great enemy for us who knows the roots, and when this battle is over, I have to open a court to count your sins!"
Li Qi hurriedly grabbed Aurora Wencun, but was forced away by one of her skulls.
"I'm not unreserved," he said, "and she's interested in the humanities, history, philosophy, and the like, and she gets a headache when she sees numbers and formulas, just like any other girl. ”
Aurora grinds her teeth: "Shut up! Don't stuff me with your and her school dog food!"
Li Qi hurriedly changed the topic: "I received the latest report from the Circle Hook just now, and it has been confirmed that the main fleet was hidden in the Kingdom of Kandas before, and their true course of action is also known. ”
The two of them got out of the elevator and went straight to the portal deep in the Pantheon.
Li Qi sent the route map to Aurora, who slowed down and said in disbelief, "This ...... How is this possible?Every anchorage is marked, and the fleet's appearance at Arlanis is a deceptive trick that has been revealed!?"
"The round hook was still sad yesterday, but today I got all the information at once?"
Li Qi shook his head and smiled: "Theresia controls the joint communication network to the death, and strictly supervises the trade wind network through the Ministry of Magic, but she underestimated the resistance of magicians and merchants to the golden bushels." ”
Aurora didn't understand: "Huh?"
Li Qi said in a mocking tone: "The main fleet is dispatched, running for more than 20,000 kilometers, and it is impossible to load all the supplies, so it can only be replenished at various locations along the way. It is the Imperial officials and even the Order Church who are in charge of the supply work, and they can keep their mouths shut, but the only ones who provide supplies are magicians and merchants, so ...... You know. ”
"Even if Theresia uses the power of the gods to control the news, there are still too many people involved in such a complex project, and many of them are not under the control of her gods. Once out of her control, five hundred gold bushels will allow a merchant to risk violating the will of God to do business with us. ”
Richie's tone became amused again: "Circle Hook contacts merchants in various cities and communication nodes of the empire through the dark web and trade wind network of the magic network in Prell City. It took a total of 30,000 gold bushels to get the information on the movement route, schedule, and supply details of the main fleet of the empire. ”
Aurora was stunned and sneered: "It's okay to say that Theresia wins, but if she is defeated, her empire may be in turmoil." ”
Li Qi nodded, but his smile also retracted: "Through the supply of materials, the strength of this floating fleet is very simple. ”
"Sixty warships, a dozen auxiliary ships, and more than thirty red and silver dragons. ”
"But the battleship and the dragon are secondary, and this fleet is here with forbidden weapons. ”
He frowned slightly, "That Simberna probably wants to bring the Divine Fall Plateau back to the state of the misty swamp. ”
Aurora gasped, and at this time, there was another red dot on the map of East Fein in her field of vision, and if you looked closely, it was the location of the Crying Sand Sea.
"That's right," Li Qi said in a deep voice, "we must stop this fleet beyond the Divine Fall Plateau." ”
Thinking that there was no witch in this battle, and that it was all dependent on ordinary transcendentals, Aurora panicked: "Is it really okay?"
"Trust them ......"
Litch shook Aurora's hand and said, "The real war is not who is defeated, but whether Finn's mortals can fight for themselves and win." ”
Aurora let out a low hum, and then a skull stuck to Richie's face.
"The mouth is so serious, what are you doing with your hands!?"
