Chapter 81: Immortal Fruit
Irish otherworldly
VIP seat at the Colosseum of Eliu
It was a miniature world, a huge courtyard, where fairies walked to and fro, and the goddess Eliu poured wine over her sisters Fridra and Banwa, and looked at the cloud in the middle of the feast, and in their eyes showed the heroes of the Colosseum.
Francis the Brave got up from the ground again, and awakened the copper skin and iron bones, which is unreasonable and expected for the gods, if Francis the Brave is so easy to be solved, he will not be the dragon slayer brave chosen by fate.
The Celts were once the masters of all of Britain, but with the Saxon invasion and England fell into the hands of the Saxons, the power of the Celtic gods began to decline completely, and this decline had already occurred even before the arrival of Christianity.
Only the surviving manuscripts of Celtic mythology in Wales have survived, but the myths of Ireland, far from Britain, have been the most intact.
"That guy William has gathered a large army, prepared ships and begun to land on the Channel Islands, and once in the English Channel, his conquest of Britain is just around the corner."
The Celtic gods of Ireland held wine glasses in their hands and listened to the story of the goddess Eliu, the atmosphere was a little solemn for a while, any ambitious king of England had the desire to be the same British Isles, once Britain was unified, and Britain across the sea, but close to the Irish Islands must also belong to the ranks of the conquered.
Perhaps the great heroes of the Irish Heroic Age could defeat the Greek king, the conqueror of the world, but they could never defeat the English king, who unified Britain, because Ireland was right under Britain's nose.
Too far from God, too close to England, that's what the people of Ireland are saying, both now and in the future.
Hegemonism, in the heyday of the empire, the hegemony of the United States imperialism in later generations was the younger brother to the British Empire, which regarded Ireland as a colony and dumping ground for raw materials, and at the same time allowed the Great Famine in Ireland to be relieved, deliberately exterminated the surplus population, and like the black slave trade, the Irish people were sold as white slaves to the Indies, the American continent and other places, all of which were done by the British Empire under the rule of the Anglo-Saxons.
Although the Celtic gods could not see through the distant future, the future was not too far away, and the future fate of Ireland could still be felt by the gods to a greater or lesser extent.
All in all, once Duke William landed in England and conquered it, England was bound to unite all of Great Britain and Ireland, and once it became part of the whole empire (colony), the misfortune of the Irish really befell him.
"We must stop Duke William, preferably with a king of our Celts to lead the Irish over Duke William." Oengus, the god of love and youth, pondered for a moment and said, "Liam, the descendant of our venerable gods, is blessed by fate and the will of Ireland, and deserves to be king, and to enjoy the greatest riches on earth." ”
Liam is their own person to the Celtic gods, and because it is their own people, the Celtic gods want Liam to sit in the position of the supreme king of Ireland no matter what.
Render to God what is God's, and to Caesar what is Caesar's.
God, angels, and pagan gods will not personally participate in human affairs, but will only choose agents to settle human disputes.
Just like the Hundred Years' War with England and France, the archangel Michael would not personally destroy the British army even because he promised to protect France, but chose Joan of Arc to enlighten her to defend France.
"But it seems unlikely that Liam will be a match for Francis, who has won the copper skin." Dean Kate, the god of medicine and craftsmanship, said with a frown.
The picture shown in the clouds and mist is that Francis, the brave man who has obtained the copper skin and iron bones, is attacking Liam in the form of crushing, which is not because of Francis's great strength, but that Francis who has obtained the copper skin and iron bones is not afraid of being injured at all, even if it is for injury in exchange for injury, it is in vain.
Dagda, the god of Ireland, the lord of the gods, the divine giver of abundance and prosperity, calmly looked at the picture in the mist, without much expression on his face, with an unfathomable look.
"You can strengthen Liam in a wave, give him stronger strength, and let him break through the third order!" Goddess Eliu smiled and said, "If you can enjoy the same limited eternal life, then Francis's copper skin and iron bones are meaningless. ”
After the goddess Eliu finished speaking, the gods showed expressions of sudden realization, and if they thought about it, it seemed that it was equally possible to operate like this.
The first order is to possess extraordinary powers, the second order is to complete great feats and become a legend of mankind, and the third order is the manifestation of miracles, which is no longer the point that human wishful thinking can reach.
The third order means that mortals can transcend the fate of human beings and get rid of human mortals, but no matter how hard mortals try, they cannot achieve it by their own strength, and must rely on the help of gods, angels, and other high-level great beings.
The Greek gods feasted on the white liquor, which is the liquid that makes mortals immortal, and the same is true for the dishes, which are said to make the gods immortal and youthful, and if you lose the wine, you will grow old, which is actually nonsense.
Wine can make mortals immortal, but it does not allow the gods to achieve the same effect, the gods and mortals are different beings, for the gods, although the wine can bring them a little bit of power, but it does not make them stay young forever, the gods have their own source of power to achieve their own immortality.
For example, Oungus, the god of love and youth, once directed his adopted son Diarmuid to obtain the fruit of the Tree of Immortality, to obtain limited eternal life, and the fruit of the Tree of Eternity could give mortals eternal life, but not to the gods.
The gods of Asgard in Ireland often hold feasts, and as long as they have eaten the feasts held by the gods, mortals can gain eternal life.
Therefore, the true condition of the third order is to obtain the approval of the existence of the gods, and as long as the gods are willing to give you a panacea, you can make any mortal reach the third order, beyond the fate of human beings.
"As long as Liam eats the fruit of the Immortal Tree, he can make Liam break through the third order and obtain the same or even stronger effect as Francis, who is bathed in dragon blood."
The goddess Eliu grinned and looked at Ogunes, the goddess of love, Diarmud's adoptive father.
Without much thought, Orngus threw over a golden fruit, precious to mortals but nothing to the gods, and the goddess Eliu handed it to the fairy beside her, whispering in her ear, "Give the fruit to Lily." ”
The person chosen by Lily is William, and the person chosen by the goddess Eliu is also William, and Oengus gives the fruit to the goddess Eliu, and the goddess Eliu gives it to Lily, and it is clear that the goddess Eliu has backstabbed the Irish gods again in the choice of the Lord of Destiny.
Liam's ship is unreliable, so I'd better change the ship.
