Chapter 49: The Thread of Fate
Link didn't stay in the City Lord's Mansion for long, as the host of the Pantheon celebration, Count Lothar had been very busy lately, and Link didn't want him to delay, so he left after a little reminiscence.
That night, Link found the three elders again and asked about the true god, and the word true god was mentioned more than once in the prophecy, and Link had the true god system, plus the true god system actually absorbed the power of the holy weapon, which made Link full of doubts.
But in fact, the three elders are not clear, the top leaders of the Heavenly Spirit Sect have been studying this issue for generations, but they have not gained much, however, according to the ancient records at the beginning of the establishment of the sect, there is a true god in the world of Solakong, and there is only one, but that true god disappeared ten thousand years ago, and it is not known whether the true god still exists.
However, before the true god disappeared, he also left behind an apostle who inherited his divine power, and only that apostle could take back the power left by the true god in the world one by one, and in the eyes of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, this apostle was Link.
After listening to these stories, Link was shocked, thinking to himself that he was really the apostle chosen by some true god? Otherwise, how could he have inexplicably crossed over and added a magical true god system? Or was it all a coincidence, and the apostles of the true god were someone else? Or did the true god not exist at all, after all, it was all ten thousand years ago, and God knows if those legends were true.
All these questions made Link feel very unhappy, as if there was an invisible thug in the dark who controlled everything.
However, Link didn't dwell on it for too long, he wasn't Long Aotian, he shouted every day that he wanted to go against the sky, even if someone really controlled it? The other party could get something against the sky like the True God System, and he could still resist the other party? Moreover, so far, the benefits he got far outweighed the disadvantages, as long as he and the people around him were not trapped, he didn't bother to care if someone arranged all this.
It's not that Link has no ambition, it's that this thing is so illusory that even he doesn't know if the conjecture in his heart is correct, and it's just asking for trouble if he continues to dwell.
After that, Link, who had nothing to ask, said goodbye and left, and Mingyue quietly came to the night sky.
At the same time, in the same moonlight, Remilia, who was in the town of Cenko, looked at what was in front of her, and her pretty face evoked an intriguing smile.
In front of Remilia, a red sè ball composed of countless silk threads flashed with a strange light, this ball looked like a red sè thread at first glance, but on closer inspection, it was not, those silk threads were much more precise than ordinary silk threads, as if they were made of some kind of energy, giving people a mysterious and elusive subtle feeling, as if each thread represented a person's future.
"It's funny, it's so interesting, since Neil Night left the town of Chinko, these fate lines have become clearer and clearer, one person's actions can actually pull so many fate lines, even we are involved, and Neil Ye's own fate line is still clear and unclear, as if it doesn't exist at all, it's so interesting, this human is so interesting, sure enough, it's right to stay here, this human has given me so many surprises. Remilia muttered as she stared at the silk orb, the smile on her face growing stronger.
After listening to the starry night next to him, he couldn't help frowning slightly and said, "Miss, you have been using the power of fate like this for several days in a row, if it continues like this, your body will not be able to stand it." ”
"Don't worry, it's out of the way, it doesn't matter if you can encounter such an interesting thing and consume some vitality. Remilia narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Neil-Night, who are you, is your fate really non-existent? No, it doesn't exist, otherwise the fate of so many people would not be connected to you." If you say that you are not without fate, but the root of all fate...... Hahaha, the root of fate, the fate of all things, interesting, really interesting, my father once said that the only thing that can be the root of the fate of all things is the true God and the descendants of the true God, the ancestor of all races - the ancient spirit, Neil Night, are you the legendary ancient spirit?"
After listening to the last words, Starry Night's eyes suddenly lit up and he spoke: "Miss, if he is the Ancient Holy Spirit, then we can use his blood to save the second Miss, do you need me to arrest him back?"
Remilia shook her head: "No, this is just my guess, besides, I have met him so many times, no matter how I look at him, he is just a human being, not to mention the ancient Holy Spirit, even the breath of the Holy Spirit is not there, and it is useless to catch him." Speaking of this, she looked at the ball of silk light, and the smile on her face became very evil, "Do you want to try to break the fate thread between him and the others?"
Hearing this, Starry Night's face changed, and he hurriedly spoke: "Miss, no, if you do that, you ......"
"Hee-hee, don't worry, Starry Night, I won't do that, such a tight and dazzling line of fate, even if it is just broken, I can't afford to pay that price. As she spoke, Remilia crossed her fingers in front of her to support her chin, "What's more, our fate line is also connected to him, which means that he will not necessarily become an enemy to us, as long as we do not harm his interests, it is not impossible to become friends with him...... Wait a minute, this is ......" Speaking of this, she seemed to have discovered something, suddenly raised her willow eyebrows and reached out to flick the orb, and found many blackening silk threads inside, and her ruby eyes suddenly flashed a sharp light, "It seems that Neil-Night will encounter some situations in Bath City during this Pantheon's Day, and everyone she brings with her may die, and even the Reimu that can pose a threat to me has also appeared in the shadow of death." ”
"Miss, what are you going to do?"
After staring at the silk ball of light for a long time, Remilia smiled again: "Well, since you have decided to have a good relationship with Neil Night, let's sell him a favor, Starry Night, you go to Bath City." ”
"Yes, your will!" Starry Night replied respectfully, and then slowly retreated into the shadow of yīn, and the next moment, she disappeared silently, as if she had never appeared.
After Starry Night left, Remilia also put her gaze back on the silk ball of light, and the black shadow on it quickly faded, but in the depths of the many silk threads, there was still a pitch-black silk thread that remained unchanged.
Remilia saw it in her eyes, narrowed her eyes and smiled with interest: "The starry night is gone, and the dark source is still dazzling, so even if the starry night can defeat the dark source, there is no way to destroy that thing......?"
In the sound of laughter, Remilia's shadow was more in the moonlight, and behind her, there seemed to be a pair of demonic wings stretched, but the problem was that she herself did not change, and the incongruity of her figure made it form a strange picture.
As the night passed, the annual Pantheon celebration finally began when the sun rose again.
Although the Pantheon is a religious festival, after hundreds of years of development, it has become a national festival, so after dawn, the whole city of Bath is filled with the joyful atmosphere of the festival.
However, the core members of the festival are still the religious community, according to incomplete statistics, the total number of churches participating in the Pantheon celebration this time is more than a thousand, in addition to the churches in the Red Moon Province, many churches in the Kingdom of Stars and even abroad have sent people, although most of those people are just here to inquire about intelligence or go through the motions, but it also makes the already grand festival more lively.
This festival is held in the Red Moon Arena as before, it is a large arena very similar to the ancient Roman Colosseum, it has existed before the founding of the Star Kingdom, it has a history of more than 300 years, after the Bass family got the Red Moon Province, it took three generations for decades to finally restore it, and enlarge the auditorium, a total of 80,000 people can sit at the same time, and now any large-scale festivals in the Red Moon Province will be held in the Arena.
This time, the Count of Lothar opened a total of 50,000 places for major religions and people to participate in the celebration, although 80,000 people can enter, but in order to prevent accidents, everyone will not be allowed to enter every celebration, and 50,000 places in one go has been a new record in the last ten years.
Therefore, this celebration is also unprecedentedly grand, when Link walked into the venue, the first feeling was like returning to the time before, when he participated in the opening ceremony of the 08 Olympic Games, then the feeling was the same as now, crowded, lively, a person will be lost in the sea of people if you don't pay attention.
Fortunately, religious people and ordinary people did not walk through the same entrance, and Link and the Celestial Spirit Cult walked together, taking a place in the front row before the other churches.
Looking at the people who kept coming in and the huge venue, Arya, Zaga, and Aiolos, the three little children with an average age of less than fourteen, were all excited, and kept looking around, especially Arya, showing her childish side unabashedly, making Link smile.
After noticing that Link was laughing, Arya suddenly blushed and lowered her head embarrassedly: "Brother Neil, I'm sorry, I'm a little too excited......"
Seeing this, Link smiled, touched Arya's head and said, "Okay, why do you look like you've done something wrong?" I don't blame you, relax, this time we're here to enjoy the atmosphere by the way, since it's enjoyment, then don't take out the usual set, just relax." ”
Seeing that Link didn't blame herself, Arya couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, then nodded happily and continued to look around, Saga and Aiolos also looked at each other and smiled and relaxed.
But at this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded, breaking the relaxed atmosphere of everyone: "Neil Night, you lowly apostate, you dare to come to the Festival of the Gods, the great star god will not forgive you this shameless traitor!"
This was said so loudly that the people around heard it, and for a while the people nearby turned their heads to look at it. And after Lin Keshun went to the prestige, he saw a middle-aged man in a white robe staring at him coldly, and behind the middle-aged man, there were more than a dozen people in religious clothes who also stared at him with the eyes of a traitor.
On the clothes of this group of people, there is a uniform logo, which is the emblem of the Star God Cult.
