Chapter 10: It's Afraid
Early the next morning, Rob took Lolo to say goodbye to Lucia, who had not slept all night the previous night, and the sorceress was busy putting into words the results of her discussion with someone in the carriage, some of which she did not quite understand, and planned to write them down first and then ponder them slowly, and as a result, she had two dark circles under her eyes.
The innkeeper had already gone back to Ravi, and Robto Lucia helped hire a new carriage and sat with Lolo.
"Where are we going?" asked the girl as the carriage drove out of the manor.
Rob didn't answer the question in the first place, he banged on the car door with his knuckles, and after a while, he said, "There's something I don't want to tell you, but I seem to have to tell you. ”
Lolo didn't rush, she knew that if someone had said that, it meant that he would say everything.
Sure enough, after that, Rob continued, "Those monsters have a very strange whereabouts after leaving the Margan Desert, stopping and stopping along the way, and sometimes turning back suddenly, but the general direction is not wrong, combined with the words of Vanal V, I can already roughly guess where their target is." ”
"Oh?"
"The North, the domain of the Breton family. His Excellency the future Super Magister said word by word.
Lolo understood why the boy didn't want to tell her about this speculation, and last night Rob had already explained to her about the current situation outside, including his defection from the Wizards' Guild and what happened in the Malkan Desert.
The Church characterized the monster's crossing as divine punishment, and the common people were relieved and curious about where this divine punishment would fall, and now Rob gave his answer.
"They...... You're coming for me?" Lolo's expression was calmer than expected, and she had thought about a lot of questions since she had seen the light giant at the top of Annarip's mountain.
Merlin had said that the role of Vannal V in what had happened to the Bretton family was that of the knower and the executor, but that he was not the mastermind.
This statement itself is very strange, as the number one person in the Church, the emperor of the Holy Alliance, Vannal V is a big man standing at the top of the pyramid, and there is no one in the human world who can match him with a status of less than a hand, and who can command him.
The answer behind this is somewhat frightening.
"God, is this what it looks like?" asked Lolo.
Rob knew that the girl was talking about the light giant on the top of the mountain, and the future Super Magister shook his head, "No, although that thing is very powerful, it is not strong enough, and it is most likely just a doppelganger." ”
There are many accounts of gods in the canons of the Church, but there is never an accurate statement about the fighting power of gods, because no one has actually seen a god move, or more accurately, no one has ever seen a god in his true body.
Most of the descriptions of gods are derived from the imagination of human beings themselves, and from the point of view of communication and propaganda, there must be exaggerations in this, and some things are true and false, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, of course, the church also has oracles, and it is said that the oracles can convey the will of the gods, and they are like a microphone in terms of function, but even the microphone has not seen the existence of the other side.
However, there have been many miracles in the world for thousands of years, so from the side, it can be inferred that part of the power of the gods, the light giant on the top of Annarip Mountain is stronger, but it is not enough to trigger those miracles, so Rob speculated that the thing is just a clone.
Luo Luo traced the incident all the way back then, and now she is only one step away from revealing the truth, but this answer is something she never thought of before, she originally thought that the behemoth of the temple was terrifying enough, but when the shadow behind it gradually appeared, she knew what the real despair of the world was.
And now that what happened to Elulia has happened to her again, what fate will she usher in?
What do mortals have to do to fight the gods?
As the morning sun fell on the fields on both sides of the road, and Rob's face shone slightly in the sunlight, the future Ultra Magister spoke, "Actually, we are not without a chance. ”
"Huh?"
"The gods are powerful, but they are not completely without weaknesses, have you ever wondered why no gods have appeared in the human world for thousands of years?"
Luo Luo thought for a moment, "Is it because there is no need, there are churches as their spokesmen in the world, and they only need to issue oracles......
Rob interrupted the girl, "But this time the temple didn't complete its mission, it couldn't wait for the doppelganger to come, and we killed it, if it was angry enough at this time, it should have taken action directly, but it didn't, it just used the arrangement on the Markan Desert a year ago to put pressure on the temple and the Wizards' Association." ”
"Why is that?"
"Because it's scared. His Excellency the future Ultra Magister said softly.
"Afraid, will the gods be afraid?"
"The longer you live, the more you fear death. ”
"You think the reason why it didn't dare to show up in person was because there was something on the Dawn Road that could threaten its life?" is a bit of an implausibility.
"So to test my suspicions, we'll need to make another trip back to Ryan's dungeon. Rob Evangelism.
"Ryan's dungeon?" the girl was a little surprised, that was where the two met and had their first adventure, and at that time Lolo didn't know Rob's identity, and only thought of him as an ordinary little scholar.
The next time I heard the news about that dungeon was a year ago, the two rescued Ursula, a schoolgirl who was chased by the temple, on the Rokka, and the latter said that the reason why he was targeted was probably because of the teacher's research in the last period, her teacher Fagan found something amazing, and the last place he wanted to go to happened to be Ryan's dungeon.
"Ryan's dungeon seems a little different from other dungeons. ”
Rob was perhaps the most vocal in this, as he and Lolo had only explored the first floor, but the harvest was even more abundant than the rest of the dungeons, and the structure on the brooch had now been proven to be inextricably linked to the rules used by the gods, and Bevinadette's appearance was even more unexpected. Rob was thinking, what will be in the next few floors?
However, before returning to Ryan, he still needs to solve the problems of the Breton family.
"The bad news is that the monsters are closer to the North than we are, and they're faster, but the good news is that their paths are irregular, so if we're lucky, we'll be able to catch up, but like I said before, we're running out of time. ”
