When it comes to faith, Tian Xian himself doesn't believe in what he believes, since the beginning of his previous life, Tian Xian knows that he is a complete atheist pragmatist, if he really has faith, then maybe he believes in himself. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Where is your faith in a blasphemous man who pretends to be an oracle and tries in vain to resist the gods?" said the knight, smiling disdainfully.

Tian Xian slowly turned around, staring at the knight, his eyes slowly became strange, becoming a little more like a scorched rock, an inexplicable thing crashed in his heart, Tian Xian didn't know why, I felt that the knight's words were very harsh.

The knight continued: "Today, when the gods have fallen and mankind thinks that they can replace the gods, you, a blasphemous through and through, where does your faith come from? ”

"So what do you think faith is?" asked Tian Xian softly.

The knight's eyes slowly fell to the long knight's sword stuck in the ground, and his hand stroked the hilt, "For me, faith is the sword in my hand, and when I make a vow to dedicate my life to my sword, my faith is this sword." ”

Tian Xian couldn't help but take a closer look at the quaint and chic knight's long sword again, it was too old, the scratches were mottled, there were countless scars left by the battle on the scabbard, the hilt grip part was smooth and shiny, it was like the knight itself, after years of tempering, it was still upright.

Two thousand years of antiquities, like knights, have witnessed the development and expansion of the entire human race.

Tian Xian slowly raised his hand and pointed to the empty street, "My faith is there." ”

The knight raised his eyes and sneered, "Is it empty?"

Tian Xian smiled faintly, picked up the teacup casually, looked at it twice, and said: "Actually, sir, look at this teacup, although it is just used to entertain people outside a small shop, but its material is not ordinary clay, it is fired from the pure red clay of the southern continent, mixed with the fragrant soil of Nanxiang Country, this kind of thing is placed in the store in any other city, it is worth more than a gold coin." ”

The knight looked at the teacup in his hand, the color was indeed very good-looking, and it was very comfortable to hold in his hand, but the appearance was very poor, "So what?"

"It was fired in Fire Leaf City, so it has a rough appearance. ”

Tian Xian smiled, put down the teacup, and then picked up the teapot, "This teapot is different from the teacup, it is made of the fine sand of the desert mixed with the natural cold stones of the northern highlands, the herbal tea is stored inside, although the air outside the teapot is scorching, but the tea inside is cold and pleasant." ”

Without waiting for the knight to speak, Tian Xian pointed to the shop and said, "The wood for this shop should come from some forest in the barren region of the west, because the land there is barren and the woods are thin, and even the elves can't grow flowers on these woods. ”

The knight glanced at the street, and sure enough, wherever the wood was used, most of them had beautiful flowers, and they were not eye-catching, and the decoration was just right.

Pointing to the stone slabs under his feet, Tian Xian said proudly: "Most of the ground in Huoye City is dominated by stone slabs, behind us is an endless desert, in front of us is a barren wilderness, not to mention mineral deposits for five hundred miles around, there is not even a mountain with stones, these stones come from different places on the mainland, there are northern highlands, southern mines, western underground rock formations, and even Moyun Mountains, sometimes I even feel that the world is at my feet." ”

"Some of our shops are built by ourselves, but most of them are built by the merchants themselves, and we can only provide one place, because we really can't build a house with so many building materials, you see......"

Tian Xian's finger swept across half of the city, "There are no pavilions here, almost all of them are one-story and two-story houses, the only building that can be regarded as tall is the town hall, but it is not as magnificent as the temple of the general city, the resources here are not abundant, and even very barren, do you know what the Fire Leaf City has just been built, what it looks like?"

The knight shook his head slowly.

Tianxian couldn't help but stand up with a smile, pointed to the opposite intersection and said: "The distance to that point, this is the length of our city wall, and in order to save the soil of the city wall, we only have three walls, there is nothing in the city, only a few thousand refugees and shabby blankets, the height of our city wall, I am afraid that some powerful war horses can jump over, at that time...... It's like a big dirt nest sheltered from the wind. ”

A look of surprise flashed in the knight's eyes, this city was built by Tian Xian, but how old is Tian Xian, seventeen years old, eighteen years old, always only twenty years old? How many years, ten years, twenty years will it take for such a city to be built like this?

Looking at this strange but seemingly plausible city, the knight seemed to understand why it was called the City of Miracles.

"Three years!"

Tianxian stretched out three fingers, sighed long, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "In three years, the city has changed from only three earthen walls to what it is now, I sometimes can't believe that this is the truth, in my memory, some big houses have been built for many years, it is unimaginable." ”

Three-year ......

The knight was a little shocked that in three years, such a city had been built on the edge of this desert with nothing!

"I didn't build this city, I didn't even move a single stone slab, not my companions, but all the people in the city, those who came from all over the world, travelers, farmers, merchants, craftsmen, porters, soldiers, mercenaries, adventurers, warlocks, all sorts of aliens, even spies, thieves, Thieves, countless people from all over the continent gathered here, and they built the city with their own hands, and with their faith and loyalty, they built such an almost impossible city in this barren land. ”

"Every day, hundreds or thousands of people come to settle here, and every day the city expands in the direction of the desert! This city that does not produce any valuable goods, the daily transaction volume is calculated in units of 100,000 gold coins, countless people come to this city from thousands of miles, the yellow sand in the desert has to be trampled out of the road, the city never rests, the trading market is noisy during the day, the taverns and casinos are all night long, our soldiers have no night watch, only rotation, day and night are no different. ”

Pointing to the end of the city, Tian Xian asked in a loud voice, "Mr. Knight, you see empty streets, but do you know what I see?"

The knight took a deep look at the crooked road and shook his head, "What?"

Tian Xian took a deep breath, "It's peace!

The knight's body suddenly shook slightly.

Peace...... Freely......

The knight's hand on the hilt of the sword unconsciously tightened slowly, pale from the exertion.

Tian Xian looked up at Tian Xian and muttered: "I never thought of anything big and vigorous to do, I left my hometown just to have a stigma, so that my father can be proud of me, can comfort my dead mother, and now ...... I'm not the ignorant kid who just left home, but I still don't want much. ”

Turning around, Tian Xian looked at the knight: "Mr. Knight, the sword in your hand is born for peace, and you have paid the price of your life to bind your soul in endless years, but for more people to be free?"

The knight was silent, just looking at his sword with a complicated expression.

This city has indeed been seen for 2,000 years, every grass and tree here beats so strongly, the wind of the desert seems to be breathing in the city, I have never seen such a city, I have never seen such people, I have never been chased to sell coffins and funerary goods......

The knight raised his eyes and looked at Tian Xian who was standing there, and understood a little more in his heart why his old friend would choose such a young man.

"Actually, I don't have any consciousness and no desire to save humanity. Tian Xian sat down and smiled, "What I want so far is that the people around me can live a good life, but if those gods come back, or something like that happens, where can we hide? As weak human beings, we have nowhere to hide...... I also understand that it is impossible to just think that very few of us are going to live well. ”

Fiddling with the cup in his hand, Tian Xian said lightly: "Just like this cup, a small pinch of soil is not good, but even if it comes from different places, as long as you gather enough strength, you can make a cup." ”

"Is it like this city?" asked the knight at last.

"Yes, it's like this city, but it's not enough just this city. Tian Xian put down the teacup, poured a cup of tea, and looked into the distance again, "I knew in the past that if I wanted to fight against the gods, I had to gather all the forces I could muster, and now I know that the situation is even worse than it was at the beginning. ”

The knight looked at the cup in Tianxian's hand, "I know that the chance is slim, why do you still insist?"

Tian Xian laughed, "This is my faith, Mr. Knight! casually, something that everyone can easily do without paying a price, how can it become a faith." ”

His eyes fell on the knight's sword, and Tian Xian asked softly, "Your sword...... You must have done a lot of unbelievably difficult things, right?"

"It's true that there were some things I couldn't believe myself. The knight let go of his sword and looked at it intently, as if he were looking at his beloved lover.

"But no matter what happened, I never broke my oath, let alone said something I shouldn't have said. The knight glanced at Tian Xian and smiled meaningfully.

Tian Xian looked at the knight, his heart was a little messy for a while, he had discussed with the four girls, and used the characteristics of this knight to abide by the oath and principles to create some opportunities for him to speak, and even the four girls taught themselves several methods by hand, Tian Xian had to admit that those words were very powerful killer for knights with a sense of honor and mission.

Can...... I was just excited, and the topic was all deviated.

That's not talking about the strategy of the four girls, but their own thoughts, looking at the knight idly, the other party's last sentence has turned back, and it is clear that he will not speak casually, if he doesn't implement the plan well......

But when some words are said, it is not easy to change their words, and it is too abrupt without proper foreshadowing, looking at the strange eyes of the knight, Tianxian always feels that he seems to have guessed something.

However, it seems that it would be too much to follow the arrangement of the four girls now.

With a horizontal heart, Tian Xian simply didn't think about the original arrangement, and said directly to the knight: "Mr. Knight, I have never wanted to force anyone to break his oath, or say what he is unwilling to say, today I invite you to see the scenery of Fire Leaf City, I want you to take a look at my faith, in this place that is not disturbed by the gods, only my own heart, take a look at what I think in my heart." ”

Pointing to the southwest, Tian Xian said: "The army of the Longyuan Empire is there, staring at it, Babarot doesn't know what the hell is going on, Yaoyao left today, I'm afraid it will be a huge trouble when I come back." ”

Pointing to the other side, Tian Xian continued: "To the southeast, the army of the Holy Spirit Temple is entrenched there, and perhaps it is a bit inappropriate for me to say this, but the Pope's plans may be as dangerous as Barbarot's, you see...... The fact that you're sitting here says a lot of things. ”

The knight was silent again, accepting the Pope's call to come here to kill Tianxian, this matter could not be relied on, and today, the knight began to have many doubts about this.

"Two thousand years have passed, and the revival of the power of the gods has brought a catastrophe to the human continent, in fact, I hinted to the Holy Spirit Temple several times, but there was no response, and finally ...... I found that people seemed to value the immediate interests more, which made me tired, and now that I was suffering from the enemy, I really wanted to get a glimpse of some secrets that would allow me to see the way forward in the fog without being lost. ”

"So ......"

Tian Xian got up and gave a solemn salute to the knight, "In this place where the gods do not know, and the lower is worthy of the heart, I sincerely ask you for advice, the spirit officer and the seniors are now obsessed with testing me, but I want far more than they think." ”

The knight smiled, this time laughing naturally and easily, he put his hand on his sword, and asked with a little doubt: "Why did you finally ask me for advice, if I didn't expect it wrong, you brought me to such a place, there should have been some strange means waiting for me, especially in this place where there are no gods on the top, and what is worthy of the heart." ”

As he spoke, the knight's eyebrows raised, "Oh yes, there were guys who did something like you, and were smarter than you, and they knew how to use my faith and piety to coerce me, do you know what happened to them?"

Tianxian suddenly had beads of sweat on his head.

The knight rubbed his sword and said indifferently: "Their souls remain in my sword forever." ”

Tian Xian's heart jumped, and his eyes showed a little shock when he looked at the knight's sword.

The knight laughed loudly, and the laughter roared like a bell, and the eardrums of Tianxian ached for a while.

"I'm a stupid warrior, young man, but I've had two thousand years of contact with countless people who are smarter than you, huh...... Someone smarter than the little girls who gave you ideas, do you know what I mean?"

Tianxian suddenly complained in his heart, I am afraid that the knight will see through his plan as soon as possible.

Busy bent down deeply, and said with a wry smile: "I'm ashamed." ”

The knight laughed again.

"Okay!"

The knight suddenly let go of his sword, so that he could sit there for a long time, picked up the cup of herbal tea, looked left and right, and said: "I have already eaten an overlord meal today, you invite me to tea, I should reciprocate this time, and ...... In memory of an old friend who has departed, I'll ...... Accept your request. ”

Tian Xian suddenly raised his head, stared at the knight with wide eyes, and his face was full of joy, "Really!?"

The knight chuckled: "Actually, there is nothing mysterious about it, but those two guys are full of bad ideas, and they like to make some strange things, and I don't like intrigues, some things...... You shouldn't have thought too much about it. ”

Tianxian sat back happily, and was about to ask, when he was suddenly slightly stunned, "You just said...... In memory of an old friend who has departed, is it the one in the secret treasury of the Holy Spirit Temple?"

The knight looked at Tianxian with a look in his eyes that would only have been desolate for years, and he shook his head, "No, he didn't leave, he just stayed there forever, and I was talking about the other one." ”

Tian Xian couldn't help muttering in his stomach, the people who can be called old friends by this knight are all monster-level characters, but does he have anything to do with that kind of character?

Searching the intestines and scraping the stomach, Tian Xian found that the characters of that level seemed to know Bai He Lingguan, and if he had to say it, there was also the Granny Du of Misty Town, but these guys are alive and well!

"No need to guess. The knight saw Tian Xian's thoughts, raised his hand to drink the tea, and then stretched out the teacup to Tian Xian, and Tian Xian hurriedly filled him with another cup of tea.

Looking at the cool tea, the knight felt a faint sour taste in his mouth: "You naturally recognize this person, and when the time comes, you will naturally know who I am talking about." ”

I was idle, but I couldn't think of why.

The knight drank the tea again, and then he exhaled, "Okay, after drinking the tea you invited, I naturally want to answer your question, you want to ask, what is the matter with the naturally formed divine domain, right?"

Tian Xian sat down and replied loudly: "Yes!"

The knight laughed, "You really look very much like that guy, you don't see the gods here, but you ask such a slippery question." ”

Tian Xian scratched his head embarrassedly, knowing that the knight was saying that he was as cunning as Shiro.

There's an excellent answer to this question, but I'm afraid you wouldn't have thought of it yourself. ”

Tian Xian immediately asked: "What is the answer?" ”

The knight smiled slightly: "The naturally formed divine domain, the process is like the slow awakening of demons. ”

Tian Xian was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes widened violently.
