Link was so impressed by the magnificence of the building that he spent five days here soaking up the collection of documents from the days of Hohenheim's founding, which served as both a repository for mages and a place to discuss important matters.
Above the main hall, there are only the leaders of the two factions representing Hohenheim, Bard and Claire, and Finn, who was chosen by the new magic god as the medium of the incarnation, and Link is also from the otherworldly lifeweavers.
I haven't seen him for three months, and this kid has not only changed in physique, but also in his eyes. Sharper, sharper.
Link secretly thought in his heart, tsk~ doesn't he know what it means to hide clumsy? It seems that he didn't listen to my kind persuasion.
After nodding to Bard, Link's eyes only glanced at Claire casually. Regardless of the personal feud between the two, but with the fact that Bard was the only sage in Hohenheim at the moment, and that he was the one who left a message for Link to contact him, he had to turn his attention to Bard.
"What's the matter with me?" Link didn't like the excessive use of honorifics against himself, and he wasn't used to using honorifics to others.
Accustomed to his attitude, Bard just nodded, and then looked at Finn.
Receiving his hint, Finn stepped forward and looked at Link with a humble attitude: "Bray gave an oracle a few days ago. ”
Oh~ It seems that this kid is doing well in Hohenheim......
Seeing that Finn, who was a bear child a few months ago, has become a proper leader, Link is relieved. However, listening to Finn's words, he also understood that the so-called union violation of the agreement was just an excuse, and Bard's real purpose was to talk to himself through 'accountability', preferably face-to-face.
Isn't Bray's goal to replace Lorelei? Now that he has achieved his wish, what else does he want to do?
"This oracle...... What does it have to do with me?"
This time, Bard didn't say anything, and Claire stood like a statue, with only Finn's voice in the hall.
"Yes. The shadow of the North is once again looming, and a bigger and more devastating war is coming. ”
Whatever Bray knew, he just told the Christians, so why bothered me?" just as Link was figuring out what Budd had done to get him, Finn's next words made him breathe.
"The position of the gods determines what they are good at, and this prophecy does not come from Bray, but from you. ”
"Me?"
"On the day you built the Temple of the Earth in Valolet, you received an Revelation from the Pillars of the Earth. Bray, who was an ally, also received prophecies conveyed by the apostle Zhutong Guò. ”
Link was slightly stunned, the dream he had on the day he built the Earth God Temple was not divine knowledge, but divine revelation?
In other words, the undead have not moved yet, is it because the inner bar of the three major lords has not yet ended?
What I saw. It's the future that hasn't been born yet!
"That's what Bray told you?"
"Divine revelation symbolizes the future, and the instructions of the Pillars of the Earth are never wrong. This tone was not Finn's, and as soon as Link felt wrong, he saw Bard and Claire both kneeling, and this respectful attitude was naturally not aimed at him.
When did Bray come?
Finn's expression changed, there was no wave, and his eyes did not belong to the old age that a teenager should have.
"It's you who said that frequent comings are not good for this child......"
Bray smiled from the heavenly realm where the gods were staying to the material realm. The slightly raised corners of his mouth reminded Link of the wise old man he saw in the game's fantasy.
"Didn't you want to ask me personally? ”
Link was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted, referring to his statement to Bridge that he had something to ask Bray personally.
Tut...... Can this be heard, with the ears of the wind, or can it be heard by the gods as long as it involves oneself?
"Let's not talk about the rank test, but please explain how you knew about my prophetic dream?"
"Now that you've seen Gasos, you should know the true role of the Child of Nature. ”
"Know, the pillar is a tool for observing the material world, if necessary. It is also necessary to replace the column to perform the duty of maintenance and balance. ”
The possessed Bray nodded, his expression was obviously relieved, "I haven't seen you for a few months, you have grown a lot." ”
This tone of relief reminded Link of how he felt when he saw Finn just now, and the roles were reversed. He suddenly wanted to say "hehe" to Bray's projection, I was much more reliable than Finn's bear child.
Bray obviously didn't come to talk to Link, after a word of growth. He begins to explain why he knew about Link's prophetic dreams.
"The Four Pillars have merged with the world, they are themselves part of Edgar, and any changes in this world cannot be hidden from them, and they can also be mediated. Convey their thoughts to other gods who also hold the world together. ”
In this way, the prophetic dream is not just for me to see, but also for me to convey to other gods? Why bother with this big circle, the gods are excluded from the material world, and isn't it easier and more convenient for them to communicate with each other than through the medium? Link was puzzled.
"The gods dwell in the heavenly realm, but they are not free to communicate and meet with each other. ”
Bray's words made Link even more dizzy when he heard it.
Isn't the Heavenly Realm a unique space like an abyss, like a crystal wall or an atmosphere? Even if the gods and spirits have territory with each other, they won't be able to communicate with each other, right?
"The material realm seems to be vast, but there is only one single space, and the heavenly realm and the abyss are made up of many spaces. You just need to understand this, I didn't come this time to explain the knowledge to you, and if you don't understand, ask Lorelai. Bray didn't want to waste his time on these meaningless things, "How's your alliance plan going?"
"The dwarves are still in a wait-and-see mode, there is only one clan to join at the moment, I am not worried about this, they live underground, sooner or later there will be a full-scale war with the undead, it is only a matter of time before they join. I took a trip to Kronberg myself, and the Wood Elves had agreed to fight the undead together. Next, I'm going to lobby the orcs. The biggest headache is still human beings, who have been divided for too long, and it is difficult for the nobles who have been working separately to get together. Link pressed his temple, not afraid of a god-like opponent, but a pig-like teammate. Except for Hohenheim and the Dawn Sect, the human race does not have much combat power, and those nobles can't help, so they are afraid that they will drag their feet.
The deal with the pillar allowed Bray to succeed Lorelei as the new god of magic. He knew very well that Link was not only going to South Flame to convince the orcs to join the alliance against the undead, the main goal of the Children of Nature was to enter the guardianship of the pillar of fire, Kaogo, and to obtain divine power through direct contact with guò, and the orcs were just by the way. Even if you can't win it, a war with the undead is inevitable.
But......
Choosing to come down in person instead of talking to Link through the oracle, Bray isn't just about asking about the Alliance's progress.
"Why did you keep that godborn by your side? Don't you know how important your mission is?"
Descent of God refers to Doyle?
Link's expression became solemn, "It's not just Dawn, but even you want to ask about it?"
To Link, Bray was a little different from the other deities. His first encounter with Bray was in a dream on Earth, when Bray was only a saintly sage, not a god. Through his hands, this sage who had been waiting on the ladder for thousands of years was finally able to take the final step to become immortal, and both Link and Bray had a deeper connection because of this.
Hicks is extremely cunning, he uses the nature of the law not to interfere lightly, only kills some of the human beings and not all of them, and absorbs more faith through fear, because there is no category to change the race and destroy the balance, even the pillar has no choice but to watch him continue to grow. A single apostle could not fight against Hicks's undead empire, and in order to completely rid the rebellious former child of nature, the pillar had to take the risk of summoning a lifeweaver from the other world who could be detected and predicted by other gods. But there is a fatal flaw in doing so, not cultivated from the druids, not selected from the elements, can human beings who are not mentally strong, easily seduced and degraded by external forces, bear the heavy responsibility of saving the world from danger?
Forced to stay on the ladder due to divine revelation, Bray has questioned the Pillar's decision countless times, especially after the fall of the children of nature who were chosen to be tested, and Bray is even more desperate until Link appears. He knew very well that this person who was communicating with Guò was just an ordinary person who did not fully understand that what he was doing would bring about a great change in another world. It was only after being summoned to Edgar that the real test had just begun.
As he judged, it was a flower that did not know the sinister heart of man, and grew up in a greenhouse free from war, famine, and fear. Even with the power of the Four Pillars God, it is difficult to complete the heavy task of fighting Hicks. While questioning, Bray also had a glimmer of expectation in his heart.
Although he was not aggressive, his weak heart also resisted Hicks's temptation very well, and after confirming that Link had once again rejected the Grim Reaper's offer, Bray decided to accept the pillar's offer, and he was the last of the four gods chosen to nod. The ensuing show was much more than Bray expected, and Link did much better than he expected. It's just that...... The only decision to keep the half-breed with the blood of the demon dragon by his side made Bray think that Link was too reckless and confident.
"I have no intention of interfering, just to remind you as an ally that her identity is both sensitive and dangerous. Even if she is grateful to you and willing to follow you to the death, the power of the bloodline is not something that her fragile will can control. ”
Link, who had just gone through a rampage, was silent.
From the perspective of the overall situation, he really shouldn't leave Doyle's unstable factor by his side, and he may be manipulated by the Abyss Demon Dragon again at any time, but he has promised and promised to treat her as a family member and friend, if he alienates or gives up for his own safety, won't what he has done before be wasted? Now that he has decided, there is nothing to hesitate!
"I've made my choice. ”
Bray stared at Link for a long time, not saying anything more.
