Chapter 25: What Do You Really Want?
"What do you want?" was the first thing Shul said to Mia and Miridy in private.
The two of them had already left the worship hall of the Earth God Temple and returned to the main hall of the Darkmoon Church on the outskirts of the city, and along the way, everyone seemed to be preoccupied, and no one spoke, allowing the strange silence to permeate among the old friends who had not seen each other for a long time.
It's no wonder they're like this, after all, in the sudden unexpected episode, the amount of information is too much, it's just too big to be confused, even with Xiuer's wit, it takes a while to digest it slowly, if it is replaced by an ordinary person, it is estimated that he has not fully accepted the change of gaffe until now, let alone reacted normally to it.
Of course, Shur had accepted in his heart that he belonged to an alternative kind of priesthood and had no special prejudices about mages.
In fact, in the world of Pavatiga, except for those who have a devout faith, the rest of the pan-believers make up the vast majority of mages, and the clergy tend to have a certain prejudice against them, believing that they are always ready to go beyond their mortal duties and try to challenge the authority of the gods.
But Shur doesn't have these concerns at all, looking at the essence through the phenomenon, in his opinion, the arrogance and resistance of the mages for thousands of years, in his eyes, is nothing more than the reserve and confrontation of growing children in front of their parents, in fact, the same respect and reverence for the gods, just to show their maturity and independence, deliberately made a performance of resistance, if Pavadiga and the gods of Pavatiga are threatened and harmed, the first to stand up and support is probably this group of mages who seem to disrespect the gods.
No, it's not an estimate, it's definitely them, the behavior of the mages in the past year is enough to say it all.
Once it was discovered that Pavadiga was seriously threatened, and once it was discovered that the gods were planning an important operation, the mages did not wait for the gods to ask for it, and they had already taken the initiative to cooperate, of course, in their own way.
The potential of the Pavatiga civilization can grow by leaps and bounds, not only for the future position of the Pavatiga people in the Twisted Void Community, but also for the gods. As gods who came out of the world of Pavatiga, although they are treated equally, the foundation of the gods, that is, whether the Pavatiga civilization is good enough, will inevitably affect the importance that mortals in other worlds attach to the gods.
A primitive god of an ancient civilization who is still in the slash-and-burn generation, who goes out by horse-drawn carriages and is lit by oil lamps, and a god who has the strength to control the entire galaxy and control the planets and stars to fight in the void, of course, gets the opinions of others are completely different, and the more powerful and profound the Pavadiga civilization shows, the more significant the reverence of other civilizations for the Pavatiga gods. Ah, even such a powerful civilization is so devout and prostrate at the feet of the gods, what else do we have to complain about, following the gods honestly is the only way out.
In fact, for the mages, whether the Parvadiga civilization has a solid position in the future has little to do with them, for a long time, they can not think about these issues, as long as they concentrate on studying the magic technology they are most interested in, there will be no impact, and they will not suffer too much loss, whether they do it or not, it makes no difference to them, they are desperately seeking breakthroughs, it is nothing more than to support the civilization as a whole and the gods.
Shuer sees through this, so he has never been full of prejudice against mages like some priests, everyone is bathed in the grace of the gods, and they are all repaying the gods' efforts in their own way, the purpose is the same, but the methods are different, what is worth prejudicing. Therefore, he was able to accept the efforts of the mages earlier than Judy, and mediate for the cooperation between the two sides in order to get the most out of it.
The mediation was very successful, and there were almost no twists and turns, although Shul wanted to ask clearly, why did I, an irrelevant person, follow you when you took Judy to deal with the problem of buried energy chaos, and you said it so reasonably, I am not interested at all. However, in order to avoid showing internal disagreements in front of Judy as an outsider, Shul resisted accusing Mia and Militi of their bad behavior, and acquiesced in their proposal.
So, the battle priest who was carrying a small bag of bluebell tea, under the disdainful gaze of the two teammates, walked on the road of the Dark Moon Temple with satisfaction, anyway, it was a lie...... No, no, it is a gift of friendliness that represents the intimacy of both parties, and it is the greatest faux pas to accept it, and you stupid mortals, do not understand how great my sacrifice is.
Ahem, in short, it doesn't matter at all, the important thing is that Shuer has approved Mia's idea, but approval is one thing, details are another, in order not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, some things still have to be asked clearly, such as the question that Shuer wants to know now.
"I believe that the problem with the magic tower in the Rose Capital should indeed be an accident, and it is logical for them to ask for help like the Blue Tower, but what happened afterwards is not so normal. Sitting in the carriage returning to the temple in the outer city, Xiuer said with a smile, "The two of you leading the team to solve the technical problems of the magic tower must have been requested by you on your own initiative." Of course, the purpose of this act can be interpreted as that if you come forward, you can use my relationship as a buffer, so that you can better negotiate with the Earth Temple and persuade the Earth Temple to help you calm the chaos of the leyline energy. Everything is very logical, the only thing that is illogical is that metal ball, tsk, really, what do people think now, why are they so affectionate about the ball, I really don't know who first provoked the atmosphere of playing ball. ”
The muscles in the corners of the mountain elf's eyes twitched, too lazy to bother with this idiot.
"The question of the atmosphere is put aside for now, anyway, that metal ball is also a precious sample, are you mages used to running around with important samples?" Shure pointed to the backpack that Mia had been carrying in her hand, obviously taking it very seriously, "Running to the Rose Capital with such an important thing, and trying to convince me that it was a coincidence, you are already questioning my intelligence." ”
"Also, a little earlier, it was in the Magic Tower, you involved me, and now I understand that the root cause of the crisis in the Magic Tower is to support my Void Community plan, and I do have a responsibility, and it makes sense for me to help solve the problem. But Mia, when did you become such a hot-blooded person, even risking your life to rush into the power room, and Miridy didn't stop you, to say that you have no purpose, you didn't discuss it beforehand, do you think I'll believe it?"
"So, what exactly are you trying to do?"
