175 Shine on the gods
Under the moonlit and starry sky, the yellow sand at the edge of Old Wake Island was dotted with bright lights, and there were campfires burning silently, like hundreds of lanterns being lit at once, messily and scattered, all over the sacred shore.
Around a campfire at the end of the beach sat four young drowning people, one of whom was brown-haired, with an angry face, chatting with his companions.
"Weir even said that we are ungodly, and when the Son of God wakes up, I don't think he will dare to say that."
"What did you say to him?" The companion asked curiously.
"When he said that Iren was resurrected, he didn't believe it." The brown-haired flooded man said: "He also called me a liar, said that we were all liars, and united to deceive them." ”
"I told Dakker that he didn't believe it either." Another companion snorted, "We used to be good friends, but he didn't believe me, but believed the words of the three-drowned Tale, and I told him that the old thing came to assassinate the Son of God a while ago, and he still didn't believe me, thinking that I was slandering the old fellow." ”
"A bunch of short-sighted and ignorant people." The last one spoke silently, "When Miko-sama wakes up, they will know who is right and who is wrong." ”
"When will Miko-sama wake up?" The first speaker asked this crucial question.
"I don't know, maybe wait until tomorrow morning?"
"That's what you guessed last night."
"It was the night before yesterday too."
These words caused the four young drowned people to look at each other, and finally glanced at the place where the Naga Hill was, but unfortunately they were not close to it at this time, and they could only see a faint light of fire, which was proof that Lord Salttongue Sauron had sent men to be stationed at the top of the hill, and nothing else could be seen.
"I hope you don't have to say that tomorrow night......" one muttered.
"I want to, too." The man shrugged his shoulders and glanced at another campfire not far away.
"So they can shut up."
……
"Tomorrow morning, we'll talk to Nasauron."
In the other direction of the coast, a calm voice rang out from inside the sealskin tent.
"It's time for this farce to end."
The man who spoke was a middle-aged man who sat on the floor in a tent, his hair disheveled, but his face was very neat. At this time, his eyes were tightly closed, and he said lightly in front of a brazier in the tent: "The war has not stopped, our mission is not over, and we have no time to spend here on Sauron." ”
"That's right, I still have a fishing village on Lonely Lantern Island that I haven't finished." Another thin old man next to him lowered his head and rubbed his black feet at this time and said, "I originally wanted to run to see what that god son looked like, but it turned out that it had been two days, and Sauron still didn't let him see it, and he still expected me to support him?" ”
"Sauron is a cunning old fellow." At this time, the last person in the tent snorted coldly and said: "The little thing he is looking for is more cunning than him, murderous, and should be killed!" ”
There was a palpable anger in these words, causing the emaciated old man in the tent who had heard many rumors to grin at him.
"Why, you three drowned people are suffering in front of that Sauron?"
"Only the drowning gods can make me suffer." The old man with a bare head didn't blush and said breathlessly: "That salt tongue is not qualified enough." ”
He said so, but in his heart, he couldn't help but think back to the fact that he was dragged off the boat and hung and drowned, and couldn't help but be even more annoyed.
"That boy, let me tell you, you can see that he is a scourge at a young age, and when we finish talking to Sauron tomorrow, you have to support me to kill him."
"Killed? Drowning God is not allowed to have iron blood on our hands. ”
"Then dimmer!"
"I heard that the son of God is not afraid of water." The thin old flooded man opened his mouth to remind.
"At most, he can hold his breath." Thaler, the three-drowned man, said disapprerovingly: "My prediction is to drown him for a whole day, so I don't believe he will die." ”
"Maybe you can't really die, didn't you listen to those young men outside, the people who died two days ago were all saved by the Son of God." The thin old man said, "It's still the younger brother of our good king Balon, I asked him, it's not like lying." ”
"Then Eren is a lazy drunkard." Thaler, the three-drowned man, said disdainfully: "His words cannot be trusted. ”
"But I have heard that our King Balon also believes in the Son of God, and has sent a pair of his sons and daughters to recognize him. I saw the two little ones this morning, and they believed in them. ”
"Do you believe what a child says?" The three drowned people retorted.
The other party smiled when he heard this, so he continued disapprehantly: "I also heard that the god son saved a person who had red spot disease when he passed through Pebble Town, and that person can jump and jump now, and many fishermen over there know about this, if it weren't for Sauron's group of people who strictly forbid outsiders to come, it is estimated that they would have come here a long time ago." ”
"Erythema is not fatal, it doesn't mean anything."
These words made the thin old flooded man blink: "You will refute whatever I say...... Why, Peron is blind, and you are blind even if you drown three times? ”
"And you're ready to stand by them, old gulls?"
"If that were the case, of course I would be on their side." The thin old man rubbed his feet and said, "When you are old, who doesn't have any problems with you?" Especially for someone like me, who sleeps on the reef all day, it's not good when the wind blows. ”
"Don't get your hopes up." The middle-aged man who was facing the brazier with his eyes closed and said calmly: "I have also heard these news, but Sauron has not let us see the god for so long, so I think it is all fake news." ”
"That's why I'm just hanging out with you now." The thin old man hugged one of his feet and said playfully, "I'm just waiting to debunk that old thing's lie with everyone." ”
……
The rival camp was discussing the Son of the Drowning God, and the gray-haired old man in another tent was sitting on the floor facing a young Drowning Man, saying the same.
"The old gray gull has been shaken, and I think that as soon as Miko-sama wakes up, he will immediately stand by our side."
The gray-haired old flooded man said in a light tone: "The drowned people under the three drowned people are smart, but under the leadership of Thaler, they can't make any waves, we don't need to care." The only thing that needs to be paid attention to is the blind Peron Blackteth, this man has read books before he is blind, his brain is enough, and he has the largest number of flooded people under his hands, so he needs to pay attention to it. ”
"It's just some ignorant people." The young man on the other side said disdainfully, and then asked, "When do you think Miko-sama will wake up?" ”
The young drowning man was called Zhuo Gu, with a fair-skinned face, soft facial features, and his body sat there straight, not like a priest of a god, but like a scholar.
"When it's time to wake up, you'll wake up." The gray-haired old flooded man replied, "The dialogue with the great drowning god, we mortals can't guess anything. ”
"Great Drowning God......" The young Drowning Man chewed on this word and said hesitantly, "Do you really believe that Lord Miko is talking to Drowning God?" ”
"So said the Son of God that day."
Salt-tongued Sauron said, "I won't cheat. ”
Really......
Zhuo Gu was noncommittal when he heard this, but he didn't say anything to refute at this time.
After the resurrection of the dead that day, the person in front of him looked like the head of the Son of God, and no one could tell whether he was sincere or not, but this was tantamount to a correct choice.
It is only because the prestige of the son of the drowning god among the drowning people is increasing day by day.
Unlike those drowned people who later had a skeptical mentality, the drowned people who were originally here had a clearer understanding of the truth of some of the things that the Son of God did, and therefore, they naturally had their hearts set on the Son of God without anyone preaching or brainwashing anything.
Including those who drowned under him, Zhuo Gu thought secretly.
As a man who descended here more than 200 years ago, Drok Gu believed in the existence of gods, but he had a similar view to the rival Taler the Three-Flooded Man, believing that the gods could not have any sons.
So in fact, he, the head of the followers of the son of the old drowning gods, had already "changed his mind" after coming to the new world, and was ready to serve the great gods with devotion to God.
It's just that he changed his mind because of this, but his subordinates are still obsessed with it, or rather, their unfulfilled ambitions in ancient times have not been extinguished, so when the news of the "son of the drowned god" is born, they can't sit still at all one by one.
Zhuo Gu couldn't object to this, because he didn't have so much prestige to completely suppress the ambitions of his subordinates, and speaking out against it would only make him lose his support, so he could only keep busy.
Originally, he was actually very unimpressed by this, but the son of the drowning god who he didn't want to welcome back really had some special powers, not only to attract schools of fish, but also to wake up the drowning people.
These were even more bizarre than the powers possessed by their King Rhodes in the past, and Zhuo Gu was amazed at this, but it was to say that the child was the son of a god......
He took a sip of wheat tea on the small table in front of him, and shook his head unconsciously.
In any case, this is a good thing for their goal, the more powerful that Miko is, the smoother the process of their unification of the power of the drowning class in the archipelago will be, so sometimes the truth is not so important, just look at the cunning old guy named Sauron in front of him, and keep saying that the Son of God and the Son of God, before that Son of God "wields power", don't you want to control him in the air?
Seeing that the situation was not right, Sauron changed his approach in time. However, just as he is so decisive, it is obvious that there can be no piety at all.
This hypocritical world.
Zhuo Gu thought to himself.
If the great drowning god is really watching them, then the first punishment will probably be their hypocrisy drowning people who serve Him......
Thinking like this, Zhuo Gu picked up the tea bowl and was about to take another sip of this light but mellow wheat tea, but before the tea bowl reached his mouth, he suddenly saw the old man sitting opposite the small table in front of him suddenly shine.
No, not them!
Seeing the shocked expression on the gray-haired old drowning man's illuminated bright face, the young drowning man suddenly turned his head to look back, and then, he saw light, a lot of light.
Shining from outside the tent, ignoring any obstruction, it glowed with a faint blue light!
The light seemed to be the sun's rays hanging high in the sky, seeping into the tightly packed sealskin tent, turning into thousands of specks that enveloped the enclosed space around it, rippling like an underwater world.
However, it was not daylight outside, and the sunlight was clearly not blue.
The young drowning man suddenly thought of something at this time, and his heart tightened, so he couldn't wait to get up and open the tent door and look out.
Then he saw a scene that he will never forget in his life.
The light emerged from the top of the Naga Hill in the distance and radiated in all directions, permeating all things, dispelling the boundless darkness like a bright blue sun.
And at the core of this bright light, a small but tall figure is clearly visible.
In a trance, Zhuo Gu seemed to see God.
