Chapter 50 Believers are selfish

For the first time, Leo uses his wisdom to try to explore his parents' past, and when he takes off his colored glasses, many details and tenderness come to the surface.

"Why didn't they tell me the truth?" asked Leo, puzzled.

Metis glanced meaningfully at Leo and uttered a word worthy of the identity of the goddess of wisdom.

"Once a secret is known to people who have nothing to do with it, it is no longer a secret. ”

Leo was silent.

In the world, many people swear that they can keep secrets, and even make written notes, which are bound by words and spirits, and guaranteed by divine deeds. But history proves that only interests are eternal.

Metis stretched out his hand, stroked Leo's hair, and sighed twice: "Don't think about it, your parents are not worried about you leaking secrets - although this possibility is also very likely - the main reason is that there are many unspeakable things between the gods, they can not be detected by other gods under the protection of my divine power, but as long as they are revealed to mortals, they will be immediately detected by the gods of light." ”

Hearing this explanation, Leo felt a little better.

Leo avoided Metis's white and tender little hand with some dissatisfaction, and complained: "Shouldn't the goddess of wisdom be a dignified, steady and mature type?"

Metis regretfully withdrew his hand.

"Truly wise people are cheerful and humorous, but what can a lifeless old man do?"

Leo had nothing to say about Metis's defense.

Metis ended the conversation with a wave of his hand, drawing two circles in the air with both hands, and opening two portals, one gold and one silver.

"Let's get out quickly, although little Aster has not slackened over the years, but his opponent is not ordinary, this kind of fight is still too difficult for him, I will help him. ”

With that, Metis excitedly stepped into a golden portal.

Little Paul looked at the golden portal and muttered, "Is it a delusion? Why do I feel that the goddess is a little impatient when she steps into the portal?"

Leo patted little Paul on the shoulder, looked at the portal leading to the outside with some sympathy, and said, "It's not your delusion. The five demon dragons outside are at a low point in strength, but the strength of the goddess of wisdom has recovered, and she doesn't seem to be a broad-minded god. ”

Everyone walked into the silver portal that was clearly reserved for them, but no one noticed that Omoni had a slightly different look.

After a flash of bright light, one by one, the adventuring group appeared beside Asted.

Asted's face was like a spring breeze at this time, and he greeted the adventure group with a smile.

"Miss Nana is intact, you can rest assured. ”

"The Goddess of Wisdom doesn't praise you less, does she?" Leo asked tentatively, looking at Asted's smiling face.

Astrid laughed until his face was folded, and he waved his hand modestly and said, "It's all taught by the goddess of wisdom." ”

Everyone's hearts suddenly understood.

And in the battle in the sky, Metis occupies an overwhelming advantage, and all kinds of elemental summons surround the five dragons, and the dragons are lit up with strange lights, and the bright and demonic colors are negative at a glance. In normal battles, there will always be a few people who will use the blessing of negative status, slow and fragile are the two most common, but the light on the dragon's body is faintly black because the colors are too rich and mixed together.

Omoni struggled to make out seven or eight of them.

The intelligence of the elemental summons summoned by Metis is also quite high, which is enough to cooperate with Metis to complete some small tactics, which makes the five demon dragons unable to raise their heads.

At this time, Metis was straddled on the back of the arrogant demon dragon, and he didn't know what method he used, no matter how the arrogant demon dragon rolled, Metis did not move at all.

"What is she doing?" Leo tried to see Metis clearly, even using perspective perception, but the overly powerful energy turbulence severely interfered with his abilities.

Omoni hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "She's probably engraving." ”

"Lettering?"

"Yes, it should be the arrogant dragon Walkefler who was beaten by the goddess of wisdom Metis for half an hour or something today. ”

Leo suddenly felt speechless, this was undoubtedly a cruel blow to the arrogant demon dragon who was arrogant as the source of strength.

After a god and a dragon rolled in the sky for a while, the demon dragon finally seized an opportunity to get close to the surface of the lake and threw the goddess of wisdom off.

Metis rolled over and landed on the surface of the lake, raised his eyebrows, and said to the arrogant dragon, "Yo, angry?

The arrogant demon dragon's roar exploded in the sky above the Fangyuan Lake: "Metis, do you want a master god to play this kind of scoundrel trick to take advantage of the dragon's danger!"

Metis's eyebrows suddenly rose, and he counted at the arrogant demon dragon: "Twenty-five years ago, you and Erivin and Hefitt didn't say that when I was still in recovery and robbed while the fire was burning. And you dare to try to tarnish my god name in public, do you want to add something to it?"

The arrogant demon dragon was speechless for a while, and after a long time, he could only roar helplessly: "I'm thousands of years older than you!"

The handwriting on its back will surely be a joke among the dragons for a thousand years, and if there is anything more, maybe this story will be included in the myths of the dragons. Of course, it's a negative textbook.

The demon dragon, who was in a weak position, had no choice but to swallow his anger and resist the violent beating of Metis.

In the flow of energy flying in the sky, the arrogant demon dragon quietly separated a wisp of energy and sent a message to the jealous dragon Erivan, who was still sober: "Second brother, help me buy some time, I have broken this blockade outside the formation." ”

When the dragon of jealousy heard the transmission, he leaned over quietly and took over the attack of Metis.

Metis saw through the little tricks of the two dragons at a glance, but he didn't bother to break them.

It's okay to take advantage of them now, but it's not enough to do some actual damage to them, and they're going to be escaped sooner or later anyway, so it's better to take advantage of them to get out more when they're preparing their ultimate.

In a short time, a burst of flame burst from the arrogant dragon's body, driving away the negative state on its body in one go, and then a flowing, lava-like flame struck the blockade cover.

However, Astrid also saw that the arrogant demon dragon was holding back a big one, and before the skill was about to hit the protective shield, he waved his hand lazily, and the translucent protective shield faded away, and he was not willing to waste energy on it at all.

The arrogant demon dragon hit the empty space this time, his heart was empty, and he glared at Astrid angrily.

Asted responded with a slowly rising middle finger.

The flame did not hit the shield, but fell into the lake of the Radius.

The shore of the lake, which had been neatly organized, was blown open by a huge gap, and the water of the lake descended rapidly, rushing into this hole, bringing a huge whirlpool on the surface of the lake.

Flying dozens of meters into the lake, the figures of the five demon dragons suddenly broke through the water curtain and rushed out, heading straight for the craftsman town.

Astrid raised the megaphone and commanded again: "Ground-to-air forces 4 to 6 pay attention, the electromagnetic limiter and energy suppressor are turned on at full power, and the capture net can be captured, and it can catch one by one."

With Astrid commanding, the troops behind him immediately split up and quickly deployed several devices.

As the light of several devices lit up, the speed of the five demon dragons immediately began to decrease, and they had to devote a lot of their attention to dodging the nets that shot into the air.

The formation of the demon dragons became more and more scattered, but the figure of one of the demon dragons obviously began to deviate from the large army.

It was Luthrie, the dragon of desire.

Leo thought about it, but stopped Astrid from trying to hunt it down.

"I've made a deal with this dragon, and I'm going to have to let it go. ”

Asted was surprisingly talkative, just nodded, and gave the order to open up a hole for Luthrey.

The goddess of wisdom leisurely cleaned up the mess of the Fangyuan Lake, and then returned to the craftsman town with a group of people talking and laughing.

Under the divine power of the goddess of wisdom, a crystal-textured water bridge leads from the lake to Artisan Town.

Metis took the lead in the front, the whole person was refreshed, and his face was full of "comfortable and comfortable" expression.

"These guys, if I had to hang them all up as pets when I was younger. ”

When everyone stepped on the water bridge, the bridge began to flow non-stop, dragging everyone forward and sliding forward.

"Sit down, sit down. Metis set up a small chair behind everyone and beckoned. "Everyone is great, go back and reward half a year's salary!"

The warriors were cheering for the goddess's boldness, and only Aster whispered: "You are the one who spends money every time, and I am the one who makes money." ”

As a believer, let alone whispering, even if you just think about it in your heart, you will also be noticed by his gods.

Although Metis heard this, he didn't care about it at all, and patted Asterd on the shoulder with a big grin: "As a believer, you must give everything to the gods you believe in. ”

"Body and mind are OK, but money can't. Astrid rubbed his shoulders expressionlessly, rejecting the unequal treaty.

"Why are you so greedy for money? Why don't you change your door and become a believer in the god of commerce?" ”

"It's not impossible. ”

"No, my dear CEO of the Council of Five, I'm just kidding. ”

Metis's bottomless line once again refreshed Leo and others' cognition of gods.

The goddess of wisdom laughed and laughed along the way, and just when everyone thought that the event was about to end in such a cheerful and slightly sand-sculpture atmosphere, Metis walked towards the alchemy tower.

"Have you figured it out, Hoggs?"

The goddess of wisdom stretched out her hand, and the pale golden restraint on Hoggs withdrew into the palm of the goddess of wisdom, and Hoggs sat up straight for the first time.

"Think about what? ”

The skin on Hoggess's face was wrinkled, if not compared to the immortal gods, but only to Asted, who was his age.

Asted was equally sad about Hoggs, who was originally in charge of business, and he was only one of Hoggs's lieutenants. In terms of wisdom, intellect, knowledge, and quickness of thought, Hoggs was above him. However, such a wrong move made him trapped in one place for more than 20 years, and what was even more terrifying was that because of the existence of this spatial passage, he could only survive in this small space for a long time.

Although Asted was strict on the surface, he still had a soft heart for this young companion in his heart, and couldn't help but persuade: "Hoggs, if you are willing to admit your mistakes, the goddess will definitely forgive you and help you please this is like a prison of punishment." ”

Hoggs glanced at Astrid disdainfully, and said, "Admit my mistake? What am I wrong with? Am I greedy for money? Or am I trying to get a high position? ”

Astrid smiled bitterly and stopped talking.

The Goddess of Wisdom stared at Hoggs and said, "You are indeed not wrong, Hoggs, the attack of the Lord God of Light will come sooner or later, and you are only one in a million chances. But your biggest mistake is having faith. ”

The words of the Goddess of Wisdom surprised Astrid and committed the great sin of betrayal, but the Goddess of Wisdom forgave Hoggs's sins?

Hoggs looked at the Goddess of Wisdom calmly, and finally bowed his head slightly: "Your wisdom is getting stronger day by day. ”

Metis tapped Astede's head and said, "Don't always stare at the money and status in front of you, but look at the more essential places of things." ”

"That's what His Majesty said. Although Astrid didn't know what the goddess of wisdom meant, he nodded pretendedly.

How can the believers hide their gods from their gods?

"Hoggs has no shortage of status, no lack of money, and the gods he colludes with are also fellows of the same priesthood as me. He just thinks that my low-key and forbearant behavior over the years is not in line with wisdom. ”

Astrid looked surprised: "You mean..."

The goddess of wisdom nodded and said, "That's right, he doesn't believe in the goddess of wisdom, but wisdom itself. He tried to replace me with a god close to my priesthood, making the goddess of wisdom more priestly. That's why I say that his biggest mistake was to have faith, and if he was willing to follow the path of legend, he would have achieved much more than he has now. ”

Hoggs heard the goddess of wisdom say what he was thinking, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I thought that it was far from being worthy of the priesthood of the goddess of wisdom to not let more people understand wisdom and spread the brilliance of wisdom. Now it seems that it is just the foolish opinion of the frog at the bottom of my well. ”

"I don't care about that. The goddess of wisdom surged into her eyes and said lightly. The gods will also allow believers to keep their own selfish intentions in their devotion to the gods. ”

"It's a pity that I can't separate you from this spatial pillar right now, but it's a good thing for you, and you can live a little longer. ”

"Stay in this tower for now, and when you are free again, you will no longer be my believers, and you can go and seek true wisdom. ”

Hoggs was surprised by this ending, and couldn't help asking, "What about before he is free?"

The goddess of wisdom showed a sympathetic smile:

"Of course, you're going to make money for me! You're just a human being who can't move around at will, and your brain isn't broken, right? Although this attack is inevitable, you still have to bear the main responsibility! You have to earn me back the economic losses of Artisan Town in the past 25 years!"
