"Well, well, what an unlovely kid. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Seeing Elivan kneeling there silently and not speaking, Waujin waved his hand in a very boring way, and suddenly all the magnificent palaces and angels, birds and powerful and mysterious prayers disappeared, and she herself changed into the traditional moon cloth robe and boat boots, and the environment in which the two of them lived also became a beautiful water, and there was a waterfall in the distance flowing down the forest, and there was a set of tables and chairs between the two of them, and a pot of steaming tea.

"Uh..."

Seeing Workin's current appearance, Elivan let out a sigh of relief, and then took the initiative to help the goddess move the stool and fill it with tea with a relaxed complexion, and then sat down respectfully opposite her, but he was still a little worried in his heart, so he asked quietly,

"Did the goddess come to me this time?"

Wokin suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled, she crossed her orchid finger and made a few strokes in the air, as if she was silently mocking Elivan's narcissism,

"Do you think you're that important, mortal!"

The goddess lowered her palms and leaned back with a relaxed expression, and the wooden stool instantly turned into a gorgeous velvet-backed chair.

"I'm just stopping by to see you, after all, you're the only mortal in this world that interests me. ”

The goddess's upright words made Elivan's heart beat a drum again, don't think that a goddess is interested in you is a good thing, unless you have a sperm in your brain, you will think that she will give you a chance to spring breeze overnight, remember, child, that's a god, not a person, to be precise, she and you are not a creature, to put it more meanly, in her eyes, you are estimated to be similar to a mouse kitten, do you really think that a noble goddess will play such a heavy trick with you **** love?

"Interested" here The reason why this is not a good thing is that all the secrets and sins you hide or try to hide will be invisible to the omniscient god at the moment when she pays attention to you, and it will be better for you to meet those evil gods of the chaotic camp, maybe he will be happy that you killed a few unlucky ghosts by mistake, forced your mentor or apprentice, fell in love with your sister, or stole your sister's underwear for many years, and give you some "reward" And the rewards given to you by these guys who don't know what they're thinking about will turn you into an abyssal worm like an abyssal demon, or an abyssal worm that's uglier than a parasitic.

And if you are unlucky enough to meet a god like Wokin, who is absolutely neutral or Shanny, who is chaotic and kind, in the face of such a dirty thought, most of them will directly reward you with a sun fire blast or a slash to break the evil spirit, and a more ruthless look up is a soul purification, in short, don't consider the difference between these spells, anyway, it's all the same for you, turn into a pile of scum bubbling ashes, but this is already a good result, at least you still have a chance to go to the River Styx.

If you're lucky enough to meet a powerful god like Tyr or Heim, then congratulations! Your Tyrant Cool Otherworldly Quest will be terminated in no time, and then you will repent of all your crimes in the warm light of the angry Evil Slash, and then you will be wiped out without reservation, and even the ticket back to your hometown will be saved.

Having said all this, what I really want to say is actually very simple, in the world in which Elivan lives (that is, in this book), the so-called gods are definitely not as merciful as we imagined, except for a few powerful gods who do not need believers, other gods, even the god of justice who is famous for his integrity, Tyr, will regard his followers as lambs (well, not figuratively, literally), unless there are special circumstances, the life and death of mortals have nothing to do with them, all they need is a trace of faith, this relationship is more like the relationship between slave owners and slaves, or farmers and livestock, under the cloak of moderation under theocracy, is a cold-blooded and cruel system.

This is also the reason why the communication between Elivan and Waujin has never gone beyond the scope of "friends", even the only time Wauquin took refuge in the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce is more because of the "new missionary method" she is experimenting, both are well aware of the fact that you will only lose in the end when making a deal with God, unless you are stronger than him, but if you are really stronger than him, will you still make a deal with him?

This is a paradox in the first place, and it is definitely not a terrible reality that can be changed with a little cleverness and self-righteousness, and you have to give up as much as you want, or even more.

In the face of the ridicule of the goddess, Elivan still looked like a smile, and did not see any change, he asked curiously while pouring water for Wokin,

"I've heard that you personally lowered your avatar to recruit Tyrant Tucker, what exactly did you promise to get that alien arcanist who is said to have a mind full of violence and battle to join your church, I'm really curious!"

Elivan's question struck the goddess's heart, and she snapped her fingers triumphantly, and something appeared in the air that was very familiar to Elivan,

"That big arcanist didn't agree to believe in me at first, after all, he was already the top powerhouse that could be reached on this continent, even if I descended the incarnation, under normal circumstances, I would have a tie with him at most, but he probably angered a god for no reason, so he made a condition, saying that if I could give him such a thing, he promised to surrender to me unconditionally, and then I searched in my treasure chest, I definitely couldn't find it, but I found some clues, as long as he followed the map I gave him to find it, he would definitely be able to find it, and then I told him this clue, and you know what happened nextHey, by the way, I think you have an exact thing, right?"

Elivan looked at the phantom of the ring floating on the table, and touched his nose a little helplessly,

"Mine is gone, and you know, I've just been through a fight, and it's good to be able to save my life, but then again, aren't you really curious about what this thing does? After all, even an Arcanist would give his soul for it!"

Waukine played with his fingers a little boredly, and said as he knocked on the table,

"I was curious, too, so I went to Ogmar's library afterwards, but even the most knowledgeable elder of the gods couldn't discover the secret of the ring, and finally found it from the most ancient scroll. ”

Saying that, Waukin cleared his throat and uttered a strange language,

(Neither the gods of the upper realm nor the demons of the lower realm can touch each other, but the spirit of the el, which originates from the earth, will return to the earth. ）”

"What does that mean?"

Although he had never been exposed to this language, Elivan was miraculously surprised to find that he could roughly understand the meaning, but the meaning was almost the same as the poem-like prophecies that Pol had told him, and there was no way to understand it properly.

And Waujin also shook her head, indicating that she couldn't explain it, but this matter was obviously just a trivial matter of indifference to the goddess, so she immediately talked about other things with great interest,

"To tell you the truth, in fact, I did not descend the incarnation this time just to attract the tyrant Tucker or come to see you, thanks to you, my church has been growing rapidly recently, and the number of sincere believers is too large, so that even the original preparation of the guiding angels is a little insufficient, so I simply came down by myself to bring these prayers back to the kingdom of God, and other things are just incidental. ”

Although Workin's tone was very flat, Elivan clearly heard something else from it, you listen to this nouveau riche tone, what is called too many believers, there are not enough angels, just kidding, angels are just a wave of your hand for you, plus a little bit of reincarnation spring water? and come down by yourself, clearly just to give her those "gods" Friends, show off, like a guy who has been poor for a long time, no wonder the Pantheon and other super gods look down on them, the gods of the Faren god system, as gods, the human elements in their bodies are too rich.

But fortunately, it seems that Sister Workin has not forgotten her credit, Elevenn nodded with satisfaction in his heart, with the current relationship between him and Workin, he can definitely be used as a super hole card at some point, not everyone has the courage and confidence to face a god who may be promoted to a powerful god in the near future.

But the next moment, Waukin's face became extremely serious, and then he told Elevenn an earth-shattering bad news, which made the latter's good mood disappear for a moment.

"You're being targeted! ”

"What?"

Elivan is still a little confused, although now the old K group and what they have done are still hidden in the dark, but it won't be long before these things are estimated to be dug up by those pervasive stalkers, so Elevenn has long been ready to be pointed out by thousands of people, and thousands of people are ready to scold, speaking of which, after successfully escaping from Sam City and Yodel, the young man has long been distracted from the disgust and killing intent of others, but this time it was a goddess who came to warn him personally, and he knew what grade the malicious person behind this was when he thought about it with his heels。

Sure enough, Waujin looked at Elivan with a strange look for a long time before he spoke,

"Not long ago, I noticed a faint reaction of divine power, which should be the remnant of astrology or prophecy from some distant divine kingdom, and I sensed that there was information about you, and if I guessed correctly, this divine power should have come from the "Demon Hub". ”

"Oh my!"

Rao is Elivan is not afraid, and when he heard the word "Demon Pivot" again, he was so shocked that he stood up directly from the chair, and he asked inarticulately,

"Am I guilty of offending that terrible being somewhere?"

Waukin rolled his eyes helplessly, and then looked at the restless Elivan with an idiot look,

"You've just indirectly destroyed a powerful mage organization, dear Elivan, if it were me, someone would dare to destroy one of my regional churches on the mainland, I would definitely be the first to send down divine punishment and blast all those involved in this matter into worthless garbage, but Misrat's wait until your injuries are almost healed to do it, it's already very merciful, okay?"

"But as far as I know, the Council of the Nine Towers doesn't believe in that goddess of the magic net, and most of those lowly people are unbelievers, aren't they?"

Eleven's arms fluttered, and he argued fiercely,

"Could it be that in the eyes of the Goddess of the Demon Net, those who openly steal the power of her Demon Net are more noble than others?"

With a mysterious smile, Wokin reached out to stop Elivan's ongoing debate, her eyes shining with a glint called "envy",

"It seems that you still don't understand, Elivan, Mystra is different from us, luckily she doesn't need mortal faith to maintain the strength of her powerful divine power, all she needs to do is to maintain the operation of the magic net, do you understand? The more people who use the magic net, the stronger her strength will be, do you know how much impact the destruction of the Nine Towers Council will have on the growth of the new generation of mages on the continent in the next few decades? Your actions are almost prying and destroying Mystra's most cherished treasure, and you are still counting on people to let you go? ”

Elavian sat back on the stool weakly, and Wokin had already made it clear what had happened, which was almost an irreconcilable contradiction, but Waujin saw his depressed appearance, and began to comfort him kindly,

"Oh, in fact, there is no need to worry so much! I know that person Mistra, she likes a dignified momentum in everything, so you don't have to worry about being assassinated at all, and those who pray under her command are also very polite, and at most they will destroy your body as punishment, but don't worry, my sister will take back your soul as soon as possible, and I can't wait to see you become the leader of the prayer under my command." ”

Elivan waved his hand weakly, indicating that he didn't want to speak now, so the man and the god were quiet, but before five minutes, Waujin covered his mouth and yawned, and then lazily stretched out his jade hand to scratch in the air, and when he fished it, a black wooden stick-like thing appeared in her hand, and the goddess threw it towards Elivan, almost immediately waking the boy from his contemplation, he subconsciously took the wooden stick, and then looked at the goddess with puzzled eyes.

"This is a thank you gift from Garl-Shining to me on the way, and he says to thank you for your contribution to his race in the battle between gnomes and kobolds. ”

"Wait!"

Elivan tapped his head with his hand, and then looked at the wooden stick in his hand in confusion, only to find that the wooden stick was a disguise for this thing, it was like a cane composed of dense and precise metal knots, it looked full of futuristic technology style, Elivan waved the metal staff, and looked at Wokin curiously,

"When did I have the privilege of being able to receive the gratitude of a god in my mortal body?"

That's right, Waukin's mouth is similar to the passerby's armor of Gar-Shinjin, in fact, he is a powerful god chief, to be precise, he is the god chief and father god of the dwarf god system, it is said that this cheerful old dwarf is one of the most popular characters in the kingdom of God, because he can always bring a trace of enduring joy to the dull kingdom of God, but no god dares to underestimate this dwarf god king, although the combat power of the entire dwarf god system is very bad, but behind them there are always good friends of the dwarves, good brothers, in the entire country of the gods are famous for their combat effectiveness, strong dwarf god system。

It is said that these two dwarf races have supported each other for many years before the history of the El Continent was recorded, the dwarves are mostly short-tempered but terrible in combat, but they are not good at thinking, while the dwarfs are just the opposite, weak in combat, but the brain is extremely developed, the two complement each other and almost form a nearly perfect way of life except for the tall, which has also created a friendship between the two races for tens of thousands of years, which is simply unbreakable.

However, Elivan still couldn't think of any friendship he would have with the unmasked gnome, and even his god king took the initiative to express his friendship to him.

Worrching looked at him in surprise, and after confirming that Elivan really didn't know what was going on, he smiled happily, and then reached out and made a cloud of light and shadow on the table, and Elivan looked at it, but found that the behemoth in the light and shadow was indeed very familiar to him.

"You dare to say you didn't make this thing?"

Wokin looked at him curiously with his chin in his hands, and there was a weird smile on the corner of his mouth,

"Before I came here, I also deliberately went to the southern hills to take a turn, and when I happened to meet the mechanical legions of gnomes and dwarves to fight against the kobolds, tsk, there were hundreds of this black-gray steel giant beast spitting black smoke lined up in a phalanx, roaring and charging at the panicked kobold army, the black smoke of each breath of them was simply overwhelming, and every time the boulder thrown would draw a blood-drenched straight line in the dense kobold camp, and those round black boulders would explode, the incomparable torrent of steel made even a gentle goddess like me feel the excitement I hadn't felt for a long time, Didn't you see the frost and cold sweat on the faces of the generals of those humans and other races who were watching this battle at that time, the people of Gal were simply in the limelight this time, and it only took those little men half a month to rely on these steel behemoths to clear all the kobold lairs they could find within two thousand miles of the Rignmore and Danmo Snow Mountains. ”

Speaking of this, the goddess raised her finger and pointed at Elivan,

"And Gal said that the genius of this steel behemoth came from a gift from a mortal, and the name of that mortal is also familiar to me, it is an old friend of ours, isn't it, Eleven!"

The young man touched the sweat on his face, and lowered his head a little sneeringly, not daring to face the inexplicable eyes of the goddess, but he still tried to argue,

"I was just talking to the gnome masters of the Craftsman's Council about the idea and concept art of this thing, and who knew that those crazy little men actually made it! I was shocked because I had never heard of it before, I swear!"

Yes, we shouldn't forget that in Elivan's setting, he is also an engineering enthusiast who often corresponds with the great craftsmen of the Craftsman's Council, and he uses the pen name Lao Cai to publish some advanced mechanical concepts in Regenmoore's engineering journal, which is not surprising, after all, he is a mechanic himself, and maintains an instinctive sensitivity and love for these things, but he actually doesn't know "Lao Cai" himself The name was so popular in Regenmore's engineering circles, he was secretly revered as the "Master", and many of his letters about the future of mechanics were regarded as classics, and the idea of the so-called "tank" was just one of the most common of these classic designs, but Regenmore's military department was clearly very discerning, and they cleverly combined the king of land warfare in another world and the magic technology of the wizarding world with a genius idea, forming a strong El style" Iron Legion", and in this way, completely cleared the forces of the old enemy near the base camp.

But all of this actually doesn't have much to do with the initiator Elivan, but it's also a heavyweight favor, isn't it?

So his depressed mood was much better, he put the stick on his shoulder, and made an American-style military salute to Waukin, and then swaggered down the spiraling golden steps, but the goddess was obviously not satisfied, so she supported her chin with one hand, grabbed it in the air with the other, and then made a throwing motion into the distance.

The next moment, Elivan, who was walking in mid-air, was picked up by a huge force and flew into the distance with a parabolic flight trajectory, screaming in horror from near and far.

"Ah!!!h

And at this time in the dark bedroom, Elivan, who was in a cold sweat, also opened his eyes at the moment when he was about to fall to the ground, sat up from the bed suddenly, his eyes glared at the boss, and then confirmed that everything was just a dream, and then sang a long breath.

"Hey, little one, even if it's a little good for you first, stay in Bordeaux City honestly, and you're perfectly safe here. ”

Workin's hearty voice flashed in Elivan's ears, which somewhat made the young man's heart relax a little, it seems that this very unreliable goddess occasionally has a reliable time, and then he is ready to fall asleep again, if he can, and have a good dream, but just as he was holding his head in his hands and preparing to lie down, the movement suddenly froze in place.

"I... The upper body of ... Why can you suddenly move?"

Now his drowsiness disappeared completely, but he sat up, leaned against the head of the bed with his arms propped up, and carefully examined his body in the dark, but he was not a doctor, so in the end he only came to two conclusions, either the pharmacist invited this time was really superb, or the goddess Her Royal Highness, who had great powers and liked to run around, helped him treat him, in Eleven's opinion, the second possibility was obviously higher.

But no matter what, you don't have to worry about your body, do you?

Elevenn smiled and lay back on the bed, but the next moment he frowned and reached under the pillow and touched it, and then tugged hard,

"Huh!"

In the darkness, a bewitching red flash accompanied Elivan's flicking, and the sharp thin blade cut through the barrier of air, leaving an "X" moment in Elivan's retina.

"Tut-tut, it's really worthy of the handiwork of the God King!"

Elivan put the blade hidden in the black metal cane in front of his eyes, a flowing blood red brightened his eyes, and then with a flick of his fingers, the sound of the sword that penetrated into the heart made the boy's heart love it more and more, he put the sword into the sheath, played with the metal palm in his hand twice, then leaned it against the head of the bed, and then fell into a deep sleep

There was so much going on that night.
