Theresia fastened her shield to the Sword of Loyalty, then slung her sword to the ground, scanning the valley and returning her gaze to Nouma Air.

"Explain to me, then, why did you want me here?"

The Empress's tone was unusually calm, but everyone could feel that there were turbulent waves under the calm.

Numael knelt down on one knee and did not respond.

"Your Majesty'......"

As soon as Retana opened her mouth, Karin covered her mouth and dragged her away, which was not something she could mix.

Theresia's gaze grew sharper and sharper until her eyes erupted with a golden light.

Then she crossed over to Numan-El and looked into the distance: "Don't you want to answer me face to face?

It seems that Theresia has also figured out the ins and outs of this matter and understands that this matter is being pushed by Shuma behind the scenes.

The rainbow light overflows, blending with and repelling the golden light, and under the light is a tall knight.

"His Majesty Keim......"

It was Shuma's doppelganger, who respectfully patted her chest, and Theresia bowed her head at the same time. After all, she only represents Kem, not Cam himself.

A doppelganger, a substitute, all represent the will of the gods, the moment the two sides greet each other, the space between them suddenly stretches, squeezing out the Numan El who is sandwiched in the middle, and Li Qi and others next to him are also pushed out by force, making the scene a stage with only the two of them.

At this time, you don't need to use your magical vision to see it, and the light diffused by the two figures tears through the night, soars into the sky, and vaguely converges into two huge phantoms.

Xiuma's voice became chaotic and incomprehensible, not that he was saying the language of the gods, but that he was transmitting information with the fluctuations of power that could only be understood by the heart of a god, as he had told Xiaohong through Li Qi before.

Li Qi was in a hurry, the scorching breath poured into his heart, and his consciousness was suddenly a little blurred.

It feels ...... Is it Little Red?

Sure enough, it was Xiaohong, who shouted angrily: "Don't move your thoughts! Don't put it on me! Listen to what they say!"

That's right, this state is like him and the witch merging, focusing on her will ...... Uh-huh, Li Qi quickly turned his mind away.

At this time, he could really understand what Shuma and Theresia were saying, and the first sentence shocked Richie's heart.

Shuma said, "Now it's time to call you Majesty Theresia, after all, you are the new Kem, and the original Kaim is no longer there." ”

Theresia said, "I haven't entered the Throne of Order yet, and I don't know what you're talking about. If so, what does what you are doing now mean?"

Shuma said, "Your Majesty, Kem...... The original Majesty Kaim has left the choice to you, after all, you are the most determined, noble, and pure mortal of this age. I asked Numael to do such a thing, not only to test his qualifications to be my spokesperson, but also to invite you to come here to completely solve this hidden danger and clear the way for us to open a new era. ”

He paused, and his eyes fell on Li Qi who was beyond the brilliance: "Originally, I thought it was just a matter between us, but I didn't expect a small accident. Of course, if it were Ms. Crimson, I would be happy to be a witness. ”

Theresia's gaze also turned: "Richie...... No, Lady Crimson?"

The dark gold divine light poured out from Li Qi's body, and Li Qi heard himself say: "If you came here to tryst and say something about love, of course I wouldn't be so uninteresting, but it sounds like something that will determine the future of the world, although I am a private person, I always have the qualifications to audit." ”

Li Qi wanted to slap himself, Xiaohong, you guy don't look at the occasion when he says witty things?

The dark golden light seeped into the golden light and iridescent colors, and the three divine lights pushed and surged, and the space that was originally isolated also expanded, including Li Qi. So above his figure, a girl's phantom that also soared into the sky expanded.

"Very good", Theresia ignored Xiaohong's nonsense in the first half, nodded and said: "It seems that His Majesty Shuma and Lady Crimson have reached a tacit understanding, which must be for Kem...... Or I, in what principle, would be so solemn. Well, I'll seriously consider it. ”

"There will indeed be a big change, so let's deal with the most pressing one first," Shuma said. Your Majesty, Theresia, I sincerely admire you for giving up your flesh and blood to seal the old gods of Benuin. However, I would like to point out that this is only a stopgap measure. ”

"Yes, I've known for a long time," said Theresia, "and this is only a temporary arrangement, and when the epoch is over, I will put the shield back in the seal to make sure nothing comes into play." ”

"This is still not enough," Shuma said, "this epoch change is extraordinary, from the order of the main plane to the order of the gods, there will be a drastic change, and the shield of protection will not work as before. ”

The golden light surrounding Theresia flickered, and her tone became colder: "Oh? It sounds like His Majesty Shuma is no longer confident that order will return?"

"Of course order will return, but it will inevitably change," Shuma said. ”

"Of course it will change!"

Theresia's voice became a little sharp: "What has changed is only the form, not the substance! Loyalty and protection are still the foundation of the world! Your Majesty Shuma, your priesthood is to defend such a foundation with strength, do you want to betray the order and betray Kaim?"

It is clear that Theresia and Shuma have a disagreement in their judgment of the future situation. Shuma meant that change was already irresistible, and Theresia saw it as capitulationism and a betrayal of the basic position of the Kem camp.

Is this going to be a fight!?

Li Qi has a lot of blood and blood, and his brain is still sober, so it is not a good time to take advantage of the fight at this time.

Shuma and Little Red are only medium deities, and Theresia-type Kem is a powerful deity, and the most powerful of the powerful. She wants to clean up Xiuma and Xiaohong with an iron heart, just like the god of the wilderness and animal husbandry in the beginning, dispatching that terrifying angelic army is enough to treat both sides as a daily brush.

Xiaohong has a heart-to-heart connection with him, or has a tacit understanding with the god of knights, so he hurriedly said: "Let's talk about things first, Your Majesty Xiuma thinks, what should be done with the old god of Benuin?"

Shuma dodged Theresia's questioning and continued, "It's simple, break the seal and destroy the old gods once and for all. ”

"That can't be!"

Theresia said coldly, "You should know better than me what it means to release the old gods of Benuin!"

Shuma said, "With us here to suppress them, we can make sure that they don't cause disaster right away. ”

Theresia shook her head: "What about the future? They will activate the primordial bloodline of the Bennuin and be reborn again! Even if they can't come together, they will kill all the Benunins." ”

"Long pain is better than short pain, the Benuin need to cross this hurdle", Shuma said, "Don't be so pessimistic, Your Majesty, all Bennuin have both evil and noble blood from Valenia. ”

"And in this day and age, most Benuins already have faith and believe that they can defeat the evil in their blood with the power of faith. There are only a handful of descendants who are hidden in the depths of the desert and are still chasing the evil bloodline in an attempt to restore the glory of their ancestors. The old Benuin gods cannot be reborn from a small number of people, and after these people are cut off, the old Benuin gods will completely disappear. ”

Theresia did not back down: "This is an irresponsible gamble and a great threat to order. I will not tolerate such a big change in the critical moment of the epoch change. ”

She said with some disbelief, "Your Majesty, I don't know if you made this choice for the sake of Valenia, or if you lost faith in the return of order. Either way, there's something wrong with you. ”

Shuma evaded again and turned to Richie: "Ma'am, what do you think about the old gods of Benuin?"

"This ...... Uh-uh, I do have some ideas. ”

was suddenly asked, Xiaohong, a guy who obviously didn't do his homework, was dumbfounded for a while.

She had no choice but to push the pot to Richie: "The microphone is given to you, you can come!"

I know you're unreliable!

Li Qi quickly gathered his thoughts, thinking about what to say.

It seems that Shuma does have a different heart, but she doesn't want to clash head-on with Theresia, so what choice should she and Xiaohong make at this time?

Intensifying the contradictions between the two sides?

Judging by the logic of the simple struggle, this is the right choice. The problem is that Shuma doesn't seem to be trying to get to the opposite side of Theresia, but she's been trying to convince her.

If the two sides are rashly stimulated, maybe the two sides will see their side as a more obstructive existence, and join forces to solve themselves first?

Xiaohong agreed with his idea: "Your judgment is right, Shuma will definitely not be hostile to Theresia, and Theresia is in full swing now, it is unrealistic to think about solving her now." At least in this case, the Kem Heart you brought won't be useful. ”

Then the choice is......

Stand with Shuma and make another effort to try to convince Theresia to make some concessions.

Whether it was public opinion warfare, magic weapons, and the establishment of an empire, a series of changes showed that Theresia was not a person who ate the ancients. As long as the reason makes sense, she will listen.

"I speak on behalf of my lord", Li Qi first stated that this is his opinion, and if there is any problem, Xiaohong can also come forward to remedy it.

"That's what I think about the old Benuin gods...... Let's start with the old gods. ”

Li Qi didn't talk about practical things as soon as he came up, and he had a bit of a "saying that Pangu opened the world".

"The ancient gods are at ease, they are supernatural forces themselves, they do not depend on mortals, they do not need mortal beliefs. ”

"So they are finished, overthrown by the Old Gods......"

"The old gods learned to use mortals, because all mortals have divinity. They gather the power of mortals, and they can obtain infinite power, much more powerful than relying on their own ancient gods. ”

"But the Old Gods are very ...... of the use of mortals Rough, they control the power of mortals through bloodline, dividing races according to bloodline, such as elves. This makes the mortal races distinct, not only unable to merge into a larger group, but because of the bloodline distinction is getting weaker and weaker. ”

"At the same time, the system of bloodline determines supernatural power, and the oppression of mortals is also the most thorough, which goes against the natural nature of mortals to pursue freedom, and will inevitably lead to rebellion, which leaves ample room for the enemies of the old gods. ”

Theresia said impatiently, "Talking about the point......

Li Qi coughed and sped up: "Yes, the next thing is the rise of the gods." The present gods relied on faith to bring out the divinity in the mortal souls, and gathered greater power to defeat the old gods. ”

"We don't know what's going on in the Dark Ages, but in the history of Finn's spirits, from the ancient era to the elven age, and then to the current Fourth Age, isn't the evolution of the gods exactly the line of the ancient gods, the old gods, and the present gods?"

"On this line, we see the relationship between the gods and mortals, from being ignored as ants, then as blood predation, to now becoming ...... A flock that only needs to be sheared to get a sufficient return. ”

"Your remarks are really rebellious," Theresia sneered, "Richie, don't your gods talk about great love? Why do you say that the relationship between gods and mortals is so unbearable? Gods love mortals and bless mortals!"

Shuma was silent, looking non-remarkable.

Li Qi smiled: "This ...... I'm just looking at it from an objective point of view beyond the gods and mortals, objective!"

He continued, "Then we will talk about the new gods, and now the way the gods directly control the soul has also lagged behind, and the new gods have appeared. They believed that the gods should become one with the way, and that as long as the way became the law of nature, and mortals took the initiative to follow the way, it would bring out the divinity in their souls to a greater extent. When there are more people walking, the path becomes a great avenue, and the gods become stronger. ”

"There is no need to plant a church, there is no need to deliver oracles, there is no need to compete with other gods for believers, as long as you focus on expanding the path, the gods will go to immortality. ”

"In fact, there are some gods who have already completed this transformation, such as the goddess of magic and the goddess of commerce, and I believe that there are many more gods who have noticed this change and are considering this direction. ”

Speaking of this, Xiuma smiled and nodded slightly, obviously he had thought about it and made a choice. I don't know how he will have to adjust the priesthood of "knight" in order to complete such a transformation.

Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and finally concluded: "The ancient gods only rely on themselves, the old gods use bloodlines to organize mortals, the present gods use souls to organize mortals, and the new gods use standards...... Ahem, the road organizes mortals. ”

I almost said that "third-rate enterprises sell products, second-rate enterprises do brands, and first-class enterprises do standards".

"What a refreshing statement", Theresia was not furious, and said lightly: "It's not surprising, what class, exploitation, your goddess, the teachings are always full of these things." ”

"I don't agree with the relationship between the gods and mortals you just mentioned, but I have to admit that other gods, especially evil gods, do squeeze the power of mortals in this way, and there is indeed such an evolution from the ancient gods to the present gods. ”

"But you are very wrong if you want to use the pretense of fabricating a new god to relieve the collapse of order. ”

"Haven't your so-called new gods existed since ancient times?

"By the way, Lady Crimson has only recently switched to a neutral deity, so she can make her intentions known by classifying herself as a new god and Kem as an being behind the times?"

Richie ...... No, Crimson Majesty, you've always been so cunning. ”

She looked at Xiuma: "Even His Majesty Xiuma, has been bewitched like this?"

Theresia's tone became extremely solemn: "This situation is indeed unprecedentedly sinister. ”

She smiled again: "That's why Kem chose me, didn't he? He believes that I will overcome all this, that I will bring order back! ”

Don't talk about Li Qi at this moment, even Xiaohong groaned in pain in his heart: "Why is this girl like this!?"

Shuma's tone was also a little helpless: "It is your firmness that made His Majesty Keim choose you, but if he is still here, he will definitely have a headache." ”

"It's not my personal will!"

Theresia raised her voice: "This is the will of the people! Whether it is the people who sacrificed for their freedom or the people who want to live well, they all want to return to a peaceful and peaceful life!"

"Of course, they don't want to accept the dark future, but they also don't want to sacrifice for some illusory world of cosmopolitanism! That's right, Your Majesty Crimson, it is the glorious ideal you spread in this world!"

"They just want to go back to the life that has been shown in the past 10 million years of history! It is true that not everyone can be happy, but only that kind of life is the real life that most people can accept!"

Li Qi and Xiaohong were frightened at the same time, although Theresia did not see through the layer of the Fei Gong's god-man revolution, but the mortal revolution had already seen it clearly. didn't call the door directly, I'm afraid it's also the result of her impartiality and quite tolerance.

Shuma sighed, "In this place, both the divine order and the human order are secondary, and the point is that Valenia has the right to complete liberation. The epochs are changing more and more violently, and I don't want to leave such regrets until I embark on a new path. ”

His gaze fell on the top of Theresia's head, "What do you say, Kelastro?"
