Chapter 27: The Temple of the Earth
"Anika can't be trusted, this is Lord Luna's advice to me, she has no ill will towards me, and she will not deceive me on key issues, but just like her family forest spirit, Anika is unpredictable by nature, even among the gods, so I have been mentally prepared to cooperate with her, and I will only believe half of what she says, because I don't know if what she said is true, or just a whim and casual remarks. ”
Walking through the streets and alleys of the Rose Capital, five years, although I often venture outside, but this is my home after all, every plant and tree is so familiar, old Jason's grocery store, Rolando's clothing store, Meriel's auction house, Pavic's tavern, each place has left his and Lisa's footprints, carrying the memories of the past five years.
"Anika commissioned me to enter the Great Rift to find the missing deity, and she said that she had a strong sense of contact with the missing deity, and that with her guidance, it was easy to find the trace of the deity. I wouldn't believe this, if she really had senses, then she should have discovered the big chasm that Lord Luna had hidden, but she didn't find out until after the faith channel was exposed, which is enough to prove that her so-called sense is not so reliable, and it is probably for this reason that Lord Luna reminded me that Anika is not so credible. But it doesn't matter, I don't care, even if she's unreliable, I'm going to do her thing. ”
Seeing everything in the memory turn into a wisp of energy in the Great Rift, how could he be indifferent, even in order to keep this memory, he had to do his best to save Pavadiga from the shadow of the Great Rift. What is there to fight against the Great Rift, even against the creator god, as long as you use the right method, there is nothing in the world that cannot be done. Taking a deep breath, Shul sneered a few times and strolled through the streets of the outer city in his memories.
"It's not that I'm stupid all of a sudden, it's that Anika's mission must be accepted and completed, that god has spent thousands of years inside the Great Rift, and his understanding of the Great Rift is far from being comparable to that of existence outside the Rift, and the information he has is so important to Pavatiga that no matter what the cost, he must be retrieved, at least the information must be retrieved. Because once other efforts and attempts fail, when everything is irretrievable, the Great Rift is the last place for Parvadiga, and the more you know about the Great Rift, the more hope you will have for the future. ”
The corners of his mouth curled, and Shul remembered that he had just told Lisa, and this time, he had barely hidden anything from Lisa, and confessed most of his thoughts in front of her, well, at least about the matter. On the one hand, I don't want Lisa to be cranky every day because she is worried about herself, and on the other hand, her recent growth has reassured Shuer to share some of her secrets with her. Of course, it was only a part, and there were some other purposes, which Shul did not say.
"Anika commissioned me to enter the Great Rift to search for the missing gods, and I was initially chosen only because of my peculiarities, but now I am the best person to serve Luna-sama. Therefore, I believe that it will not be long before she will send someone to me again, with only one purpose, that is, to ask me to carry out the previous agreement as soon as possible. So I try to be as prepared as I can before she comes to her, and if she asks for it, I'll leave without delay. ”
"Before, my attitude towards Anika's mission was always to delay as much as possible, because I was not even sure that half of it would come back alive, and Anika knew that I was not ready, so she was very cooperative and did not push me. But now it's different, and this time I'll agree to Anika's request to enter the Great Rift as soon as possible and start searching, because I'm now confident enough to complete the mission and come back alive. Oh, not just half, at least two-thirds. So, Lisa, you can rest assured, this mission will never be more dangerous than before, although it sounds scary, but for me, it is actually the safest one, because ...... Oh, praise the Holy Spirit, and walk with God, which is the greatest glory of mortals. ”
Looking up at the front, the main hall of the Earth Church was already in view, and this was the purpose of his trip. In fact, Kaeya did not summon him, and Shul did not agree on a meeting time with Judy, or even whether to meet in the near future, but Shul slowly slipped here, and Judy, the archbishop of Lord Kaeya, also seemed to be very idle today, pacing at the door of the Temple of Earth Mother in a bored manner. Seeing each other, no one showed a surprised attitude, but looked at each other tacitly and smiled, sometimes things are so strange, obviously they haven't seen each other a few times, but they have such a tacit understanding.
"Your Excellency, I guess you're coming to the door. Of course, Judy didn't know the memories in Shure's mind, and as usual, she greeted her with an elegant smile, "I returned to the Rose City the day before yesterday, and yesterday I summarized the mission with your shadow teammates, and with your character, it is time to show up today." But it's a bit unexpected to come here now, and I've been waiting for a long time. ”
"Well, no way, it's been a busy day. Xiuer said as a matter of course, "After breakfast, I basked in the sun for a while, drank morning tea with Lisa, and rested for a while before I successfully found time." I wanted to take a nap after lunch, but Lisa said that I didn't prepare my lunch at noon, so I had no choice but to come to Judy-sama's place to see if I could find something to eat. ”
"Alas. Even a beautiful and noble lady like Judy couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard this, and said with a smile, "It was indeed my negligence that I didn't have time to inform you in advance of the previous meeting of the Temple of the Gods, but isn't the final result not bad, why do you have to look like this." ”
"No, I'm serious about foraging. I wanted to continue the teasing, but when I noticed that Judy was staring at him with unkind slanted eyes, Shul had to laugh dryly, "Okay, just a little joke, don't care." So when are we going to have lunch, no, I mean, Mother Earth is waiting for me?"
"No, my lord has returned to sleep. Judy shook her head, "There is still a glimmer of consciousness that can wake up my lord at any time, but I am not going to do it, it is not a good idea for my lord." But you don't have to worry, my lord has already explained her thoughts to me before she fell asleep, and I can discuss the specific situation with you. ”
"Tsk. Shuer pursed his lips, a benevolent and loving god and a cunning she-fox, everyone knows which one to choose, but now there is no other choice, Shuer can only sigh and say, "It's okay, then I wish us a happy cooperation." ”
