Chapter 334: Outer God
Lilith was very disappointed in her heart, but she said something completely inconsistent with her mood: "You must be lying to me, if you are a mortal, why does my hypnotism not work for you." No mortal can resist my hypnosis. ”
In fact, she already believed that I was indeed a mortal, but she didn't want to admit it.
I couldn't help laughing: "Then your hypnotism is quite skillful, I don't even feel that you have hypnotized me." ”
"It doesn't matter, the important thing is that my hypnosis doesn't work for you."
"Sister, let me tell you, if your hypnotism doesn't work for me, then there must be at least hundreds of mortals in our industry that you can't hypnotize at all. I'm not really the best person in our business. ”
Lilith was silent for a long time before she found a new excuse: "Maybe you have become a god, but you don't know it." As for your business, I have indeed heard of it, and I know that your people there are generally very powerful, and it is precisely because of your strength that for thousands of years, whether it is a demon, a witch, or a blood clan, they have not dared to enter your territory, hey, you should have noticed it, there are vampire legends all over the world, but your country does not, the reason is that the blood clan does not dare to enter your territory at all, no matter how powerful the blood clan leader, once he enters your territory, he will inevitably be killed, just like an inescapable fate. ”
I immediately corrected her: "Off topic." ”
Lilith was stunned for a moment, and then changed to the original topic: "You said that there are many people in your industry who are better than you, I will not believe this under any circumstances, I know that your people are very strong, but they are not so outrageous." ”
Why is it that no one believes me when I tell the truth, and I can fool everyone when I talk about it?
This is indeed a question worth pondering.
No one believes the truth because it is cruel.
Lies are easy to accept because there is a sweetness that is out of touch with reality.
I sighed and said to Lilith, "Actually, you have realized that I didn't lie to you, and the reason why you don't want to admit that I'm mortal is because it will make you lose your superiority as a god. Mortals can easily defeat gods, so are mortals still mortals, are gods still gods, are gods more noble, or mortals are more noble. ”
Lilith frowned, "Can you see through my heart?" ”
I waved my hand: "Dude, I don't have that ability, but I can feel your emotions, and then I can deduce what you think in your heart by extrapolating back from your emotions." ”
Lilith pouted, "So...... What kind of person are you in your business, or what kind of identity do you have? Enchanter? Knight? Exorcist? Father? Prophet? Or something else. ”
"Taoist priest."
"Daoist? I've heard of Taoist priests, and I've heard that they are a very special kind of mage, they rarely assist the king, and even rarely come into contact with people outside in the heyday, they just concentrate on purifying, and only in troubled times do they go down the mountain to save the world, but once the world is too peaceful, they will hide themselves again. ”
"Your understanding is quite one-sided to be honest, but you can't say it's wrong."
"But since you're a magician, why do you have the same fighting skills as a knight? Isn't it true that a magician should devote his whole life to studying magic, and you shouldn't have time to practice swordsmanship, right? ”
I've never practiced swordsmanship in the first place!
However, I understand what Lilith means, and the "swordsmanship" in her mouth can actually be understood as martial arts.
I said: "Taoist practice must refine the body and mind, the state of mind must be practiced, and the physical body must also be practiced, we generally study the Taoist classics to enter the path of cultivation, to maintain health, practice the body to enhance the body, and then practice magic, Taoist priests must maintain health, and tempering the physical body is also a means of health preservation." Anyway, as long as it is a Taoist priest like me who often deals with evil spirits, all of them have to practice martial arts, and without a strong physical body, it is difficult to retreat in a difficult battle by relying only on magic. ”
"Focus on tempering the physical body, have you invested less energy in the study of magic soon, why don't you use magic to enhance your physique, but choose to use such an ancient way to strengthen your physical body?"
"Because for us, practicing martial arts is also a part of practicing magic, and many of our spells and martial arts are performed together, and the law is not separated from the martial arts, and the martial arts are not separated from the law, anyway, the sect I am in is like this."
Lilith had a puzzled look on her face, "You guys are so weird. ”
I smiled: "Let's change the subject, do you know much about the King of the Yellow Coat?" ”
Do you know why I'm answering every question Lilith has, because I need information from her, information about the King in Yellow, and information about the Western magical system.
The Cthulhu Mythos has almost nothing to do with Eastern mythology, and I need someone with a deep understanding of Western mythology to help me interpret the Cthulhu Mythos, and Lilith is the perfect person.
After all, in her own eyes, she was originally a god of the Western world.
Well, among the people present, she was the only one who thought so.
Lilith thought for a moment before asking me, "You seem to be interested in the King in Yellow, what do you want to do, do you want to cooperate with him?" ”
I shook my head: "No, I'm going to kill it." ”
Lilith's eyes widened, "Why?" Because he mutilated mortals? But gods shouldn't care about the life and death of mortals, and they shouldn't eradicate another god because they killed mortals. Damn, I forgot, you've always thought you were mortal, that's why you think the King in Yellow deserves to be put to death. ”
"Ah, eldest sister, can you stop getting into this matter all the time, I'm a mortal, that's all, okay, this topic has turned the page, don't talk about it and go back around." Now I just want to know what kind of existence the King of Yellow is, and what are the chances of winning against him. ”
Lilith pursed her lips and said, "I heard those cultists say that it seems to be quite strong, but I haven't seen it, and I can't say how many chances you have of winning against it." Well, although I don't know about the King of the Yellow Coat, I can help you, as long as you agree to my terms. ”
I crossed my hands and made a gesture of refusal: "Forget it about spending the night with you, I've always been resistant to this kind of offer." ”
Lilith frowned, "How did you know I was going to say this?" Hey, I don't know why, from the first time I saw you, I thought your skills should be good. ”
Damn, you've really thought about it!
Now I can see that the women of Haishi are quite open to this kind of thing, for them, it is like asking someone to have a meal and go shopping, but as a person from the sea, I really can't accept their openness.
No, isn't Lilith also from the open sea, how can she be like this?
At the time, I had such doubts because I had not studied the glorious history of Lilith, and if you had nothing to do to dig through the myths and legends of their world, you would find that Lilith was much more than Eros and Joanna.
