Chapter Fifty-Eight: Ancient Secrets

"On the grounds that Lord Fergus interfered with the hunting of the descendants of the dragons, Seglas challenged him at the Dragon Wall, and it was actually a bet, and the bet was ...... It is the mythical beast that withdraws from the territory of intelligent beings. "Moria, who got serious, looked very serious, well, although she still occasionally subconsciously shook her hair, but at least put the barbecue aside, "From the West Orel grassland in the north to the Solam Mountains in the south, with this as the boundary, the east belongs to intelligent creatures, and the west is left to the mythical beasts to reproduce, of course, this is the bet of the dragon side, and the bet of the god of war is naturally that Lord Fergus will no longer interfere in the battle between the mythical beasts and mortal creatures." ”

"That's how the consensus was reached. Shuer tapped his thigh lightly, and said thoughtfully, "He chose Master Fergus as the first target of the bet, and the two sides must have been familiar with each other in the first place." ”

"Well, although Cygras is a third-generation dragon, he has also experienced the period when divine creatures have not yet become gods, and he has experienced it for a long time, so he is familiar with most divine creatures, but the most familiar is Lord Fergus. When both parties were in the mortal world, they knew each other's powers, but after the divine creatures became gods, Seglas didn't know how strong they would become, and Seglas needed to test the power of the gods, and the first target was naturally his most familiar friend, just like you said, because of this, he chose Lord Fergus from the beginning. ”

"But I don't quite understand. Shure frowned and asked, "What does this have to do with Lord Anika, don't say it's okay, it really doesn't matter, you won't tell us this story now, so why is Lord Anika involved?"

"Because the mother is a witness to the gambling covenant, and she is also an overseer. "Mother is also a divine creature from ancient times, and since the time when there were no animals on the earth, my mother lived leisurely in the mortal world like other divine creatures. At that time, the relationship between the divine creatures was quite harmonious, especially the mother, who got along well with most of the divine creatures, and among the gods, she was also one of the very powerful individuals, and she was the witness and overseer, not only the two sides of the bet were assured, but the other gods who were watching also recognized. ”

"Understood. "The result of the duel was, of course, a crushing defeat for Seglas, so Lord Anika stepped in to drive the mythical creatures into the wilderness, and has been monitoring their movements since ancient times. ”

"It's not a fiasco, Seglas is actually very powerful, and has divinity, even Lord Fergus, is also in a bitter battle, fortunately, Seglas is not a god after all, he does not have the power to master the rules, and he does not have the power of faith as a backing, so after three days of hard fighting, he still showed defeat, otherwise, history may have to be rewritten. ”

"In addition, Mother did not drive the mythical creatures into the wilderness, they went on their own. When Seglas found that he could not defeat Lord Fergus, he took the initiative to interrupt the challenge and admit his defeat. After that, he is responsible for convincing the mythical creatures to voluntarily withdraw from the territory of the sapient creatures, and to restrain them from encroaching on the territory of humans. Although there are not many intelligent creatures in the mythical creatures, they still have the most basic understanding ability, and the instinct in the bloodline also makes them willing to obey the orders of the dragons, so under the supervision of their mother, the mythical beast has since disappeared from the civilized world, and was even considered to be just a legend for a time. ”

"Of course, the dragons and the descendants of us divine beings are not among them, and those of us who choose to stay in civilization and become part of the intelligent creatures of Pavatiga, and the dragons ......"

"Although the dragons were defeated, they were not the losers, on the contrary, they benefited a lot from this battle. It was the first time that Seglas fought with all his might, and it was also the first time that the dragons showed their strength, and the onlookers saw that the dragons were strong, and that was the power that other gods feared. The gods were also unwilling to put too much pressure on the dragons to cause them to react, and since it was only a duel, they took the initiative to back down, and the gods had no excuse to press, so they were not affected by this battle, they still lived leisurely between the two worlds, of course, they preferred to live with their children. ”

"As for the gods, for the first time, there is an irreconcilable contradiction between each other, yes, the antagonism between Lord Ofregen and Lord Wendy. In this dispute, the gods saw the disadvantages of excessive interference in the mortal world, and Lord Ofregan, because he was originally a divine creature, felt the disadvantages more deeply, so he advocated letting the mortals fight against fate by themselves, while Lord Wendy did not have this relationship, and his feelings were naturally not as deep as that of Lord Ofregan, so he could not understand his concerns, so the two sides launched a protracted confrontation until Lord Earth Mother ......" Mauria smiled at Judy, who replied with a humble etiquette," Until the Earth Mother saw the danger of the contradiction and had to stand up and end the confrontation between the two sides. Unfortunately, the seeds of contradiction have been planted, and even Lord Kaeya cannot organize it to take root, and before the chaotic era, the contradiction is still completely intensified, and of course this is another story. ”

"Tsk. Shuer squinted his eyes and said meaningfully, "Is it true that the dragons are challenging the gods for their children, why do I always feel that everything is planned? Not only has Segris become the latest deity, but the dragons have also earned a transcendent status, and even the mythical beasts, who seem to have lost large swaths of their territory, have actually been invisibly given a safer environment. Intelligent creatures no longer live in their shadow, which actually means that they will not be threatened by intelligent creatures either, and they do not need to worry that they will become the prey of intelligent creatures one day. ”

"And they took revenge in the end, the relationship between the gods was completely disrupted by the impact of their station, although it is a bit far-fetched to say, but without the battle between Seglas and the god of war, the conflict between the two sides is estimated to be a long time before it breaks out. So, was it really a spur of the moment?"

"Who knows?" said Moria, with a blank expression, "I'm just an innocent wild animal, don't ask me such complicated questions, I don't understand the lingua franca at all." ”

"Hell, wild animals like this one that don't understand the lingua franca should be made into fried deer steaks. Shure was really helpless about Moria's cunning, so he could only pout his lips and muttered a few words to vent his anger, "Then put the doubts aside for the time being, and what about after that?"

"Mother is actually good friends with both sides, especially Seglas, and it is because of this that Mother took over this troublesome task, otherwise with Mother's character, it would not have been possible to do such a complicated thing. Moria was not afraid of the problem of frying deer steak at all, but reminded her of the barbecue in her hand, and quickly nibbled on a few bites, as if she was afraid of losing money, and then continued, "Of course, the mother, as the lord of the forest, is the embodiment of the concept of the whole Pavatiga plant, where there are plants, there is a mother, and it is only fitting that the mother is the overseer. It is also true that with Mother oversight, for millions of years, few mythical creatures have tried to cross the line without knowing whether they are alive or dead. ”

"Well...... "Well," Shure asked in a deep groan, "but there are exceptions. ”

Lin Jing didn't answer, but looked at Xiu'er with a very admiring look, just like seeing some warrior who was not afraid of death, well, what kind of eyes did he look at the statue.

"Well, I've got it. ”

Shuer smiled bitterly, and he could only smile bitterly. Sure enough, even if she has become a god, Lin Jing is still a Lin Jing, lively and jumpy, divergent thinking, let her focus on one thing for millions of years, it is simply an unrealistic idea, she can always remember her responsibilities, it is already very good, let her complete this kind of task that is contrary to nature perfectly? Don't joke, that is not Lin Jing's style at all.

I'm afraid that mythical creatures rarely cross the line, mainly relying on their instinctive obedience to the orders of the dragon clan and the management of the dragon clan, if it really depends on Lord Anika to supervise, then it is estimated that the civilized world has long been disturbed by mythical beasts, and it is impossible to have only a dozen or dozens of cases. But if you think about it carefully, in fact, the so-called supervision is not to personally manage and punish, but to maintain the final bottom line, like Lord Anika, but it is more in line with the responsibility of the overseer, well, although there are more omissions, no way, after all, it is Lord Anika, hahaha.

The crazy self-comfort in his heart is blasphemous by the way, but on the surface, Shure doesn't dare to say anything, Moria's guy is a family member of the gods, and he is more and more valued by Lord Anika, judging from the act of entrusting her with such an important contact task, maybe she will become a rare non-cleric apostle in the future. In this way, the eyes of the gods may be watching her at any time, although she herself will feel it, but judging from this guy's bad character, it is impossible to remind Shur that talking nonsense in front of her, if Lord Anika knows about it, she will really be beaten, and it is a threat even more terrifying than divine punishment.

Of course, being beaten by the gods like a joke is actually an honor for mortals, because it proves that the relationship with the gods is close enough, but unfortunately, Shuer doesn't want this kind of glory at all, so it's better to control his desire to talk nonsense.

"Now let's finally get back to the point. "Moria" herself knows that she has been digressing, but it is understandable, it is difficult to understand these complex relationships without explaining the reasons clearly, "Because of the relationship of the gambling contract, the mother and the dragon god Seglas still maintain the habit of occasional contact, and I also know the difficulties of the dragon clan and the mythical beast for tens of thousands of years. ”

Although they chose their own path, as old friends from ancient times, their mother could not bear to watch the descendants of their old friends endure this loneliness all the time. And most crucially, if this growing sense of loneliness eats away at reason, the mythical beasts and even the dragons themselves may do some extreme actions that affect the harmony that Pavadiga has managed to establish. You don't have to worry about it at any other time, but it's a special time, and if the harmony is no longer there, your whole plan might be ruined. So my mother told Seglas everything more than half a year ago, and by the way, I recommended you as the best candidate for the dragons and mythical beasts, and of course, it was I who negotiated with you in the first place. ”

"Wait. Shur found a question, "It's not your turn to come forward, what about the dragon god's own church, why don't you come forward? No, I've never heard of Seglas's church, so does he have no church at all?"

"Although Seglas became a god, the situation was not very good. Moriah shook her head and said, "The church does, but it's all dragons, and because of the members, the church is very loose, just a symbol, and it's hard to fulfill its duties." In addition, the negotiation between them and you is actually essentially a dialogue between mythical monsters and intelligent creatures, which belongs to the scope of the gambling contract back then, and the initial negotiation must also be made by the mother. ”

Shuer can also see that the situation of the dragon god is not ideal, the two of them have not used honorifics when mentioning Seglas from beginning to end, and in Shuer's memory, when mentioning the dragon god, no one has ever used honorifics, so it can be seen that Seglas is a very marginal god in the eyes of the vast majority of mortals, and it is unlikely to provide him with the power of faith, that is to say, his existence depends on the faith of the dragon clan and the support of a small number of intelligent giant beasts, and it is already rare to maintain his existence, of course, it is impossible to get better.

"You see, you yourself understand. "It's still Moria who understands Shure, and as soon as she looks at his expression, she knows that he has figured out the reason, "So, in front of you now, there are representatives of the mythical beasts and dragons, who are cooperating with the Tower of Seven Yao on their behalf. ”

"Huh?" Shul raised an eyebrow, "why don't you just work with me." ”

Shure didn't ask why the mythical beast didn't cooperate directly with Lord Anika, after all, the Darkmoon Church controls the faith channel, and it is unrealistic to want to bypass the Darkmoon Church, and Lord Anika is still very measured, and he is unwilling to do this kind of thing, bypassing allies, after all, this behavior is likely to affect future cooperation, and Lord Anika will not do it.

"With you?" Moria looked Shul up and down, "Whether it's a mythical beast or a mage, the importance of being in front of you alone is not enough for you to treat it with the utmost care, but it's not the same when you join forces, so why cooperate with you directly? I warn you, although I am a wild animal, you can't trick me like this." ”

"Tsk, the representative of the ghost. ”
