945

Humanity is so fragile. Klein came up with such an idea for no reason.

The scene of the Northern Continent made him feel sympathetic and at the same time irrepressibly contemptuous. Mortals are very fragile creatures, and the slightest force can kill them, and the slightest impact on the real world can displace countless people and lose their lives. They are so small, so weak, that even the most inferior secret puppets of Utopia are stronger than humans.

The moment this thought came to him, Klein suddenly felt that there was something wrong with his attitude. Of course, he can make such feelings, but he should not condescendingly define humanity as an extraordinary being, in a person almost as a true God.

"I'm human myself, and I shouldn't think like that. I can lament, but not disdain. ”

"I should think about how I can help them."

"After all, the war of the gods has nothing to do with them, but they are ruined by this......

Lamenting the fragility of humanity is unavoidable, and tragedies have already occurred and seem irreparable. On the other hand, Klein always felt very sad when he saw human beings grieving the deaths of their loved ones and friends. Such things always happen in front of his eyes from time to time, and even the "miracle master" cannot give the miracle of resurrection from the dead to everyone.

Miracles can't do anything, he may be able to restore those ruined cities, heal their physical defects and diseases, but it can't make the pain in people's hearts disappear, and if it is simple and rudely erased the memories of others, it will only cause more damage.

However, it is not completely impossible.

Thinking of this, Crane's fingers moved, he wanted to turn all the dead people into his secret puppets.

As long as they become secret couples, they can stay with their families and friends forever. Of course, this should not be enough, because the secret puppet has been immortalized in his hands, and the living people are still alive, old, sick and dead, and can no longer continue the happy life and story, so the best choice should be that everyone becomes their own secret puppet together.

This should be the perfect solution. In this way, there will be no more grief and pain, no more sickness, even if you are fatally injured, even if your head is rolled down, you can still repair it and return to the people you care about.

The world will be a better place, at least where Klein can see, there will be no wars and famines, no more classes and no more oppression, and everything will be fair and just. In short, the world will become a real "utopia", a city is still too small, one or two thousand secret puppets are far from enough, Crane hopes that people will do their jobs, there will be quarrels between each other, but in the end the problem will be solved. Everyone is reasonable and empathetic. Under the watchful eye of the Lord of Mysteries, they will live forever and always welcome guests from outside.

All will be happy, happy, and filled with hope for tomorrow.

This is a kingdom of heaven that can be made without acknowledging God or relying on His power.

……

The sun seems to be in the deep, gray waters.

Audrey's mind immediately conjured up the first verse of the Bible, a scene that was somewhat similar to the book of Genesis, but with a very different symbolic meaning.

Is it before sunrise? When the sun comes out, will there be any changes here?

The symbol of the sun is God, is there a deeper meaning that He is focusing on here?

Well, the dragon corresponds to the mind and the realm, the way of the "audience", and from what Mr. Hermes told me, and the current honorific name, it can be seen that he has not yet recovered the "audience...... Audrey looked around, ready to go around the cliff to find other scenes. Just then she inadvertently looked back and saw that the castle hidden in the darkness seemed to be getting a little brighter, and a door opened in the corner.

A slightly dark corridor immediately greeted her.

The hallway, even more so, has no gas sconces, and the walls are inlaid with candlesticks of silver or bronze casting, on which are placed candles of varying numbers, emitting a dim glow. The entire corridor is illuminated, giving the impression that it will be haunted at any moment. In addition, Audrey also vaguely saw that the two sides of the corridor were closed doors, and there seemed to be something hidden behind it, which made her have a strong desire to explore.

The classical doors with reliefs, illuminated by the dim candlelight, look particularly mysterious, making people want to know what is hidden behind.

In a flash of thought, Audrey Huo Ran understood what they represented in the dream.

This is the door of the mind, and behind every door is someone's spiritual world.

A portal to the soul that appears in the dream of a high-level powerhouse...... A bad feeling suddenly rose in Audrey's heart, she now knows that the audience's sequence 3 "Dream Weaver" can weave different personalities to exist alone, who knows whether it is a human dream behind this, or a dream of those who exist alone?

After going through so many things, she understands more and more a truth:

Demigods in the realm of the mind must know how to restrain themselves and respect others.

On the premise that you can usually interpret the true thoughts of others from body language, facial expressions, and emotional fluctuations, if you are not satisfied, you are unusually greedy to explore the hearts of others, digging out privacy and secrets, then you may eventually backfire on yourself.

This is a very simple truth: everyone will have some dark and bad thoughts to a greater or lesser extent, but they are well controlled, and they are not allowed to affect their own behavior, in this case, if the demigods in the spiritual realm are still obsessed with digging these thoughts and digging out the ugly parts under the mask, they will be very easy to be disappointed in human nature, infected by all kinds of negative consciousness, and gradually go crazy without knowing it.

This is one of the reasons why the "audience" can soothe itself and treat the corresponding psychological problems, but it is still easy to be perverted or crazy.

Therefore, Audrey's code of conduct for herself is to only observe and "read minds" to acquaintances, try not to dream, and have no restrictions on dreams for strangers, and do not enter everyone's mental world unless necessary.

Slowly retracting her gaze, Audrey closed her eyes, not letting herself be affected.

In addition, the castle was built in such a way that Audrey could not see the architectural features of any era, although she did not know much about it and was not sure if she was right. However, she could see that the castle had a deep connection with the dragon, and its style was very rough and simple, with a large number of dragon-like patterns scattered, and when she got closer, she realized that there were many strange designs.

From a distance, it was just a castle, and the closer Audrey got closer, the more shocked she became, the castle was constantly getting bigger, taller and wider, and the steps that seemed normal at first glance were actually higher than her at every step!

The two-meter-high rectangular stone block is obviously not a step for humans to walk, and it is almost the same as a brick for the "Grim Reaper" to build a tomb.

This dream...... Audrey glanced left and right, and her expression became a little serious.

This height is not for humans, so it should be for dragons, and it must be dragons to enter this castle, but Audrey is not sure that it is safe for her to reveal her mythical creature form in such a dream. The mind and dreams are the most vulnerable places for the spirit, and once this is a trap, the owner of the dream gives himself a bad psychological hint, and he may die out of control on the spot.

As thoughts flashed through her mind, Audrey decided to back off for a moment. Her mission is only to investigate, and there are unknown dangers ahead of her, so she should evacuate as soon as possible and let Hermes come to see for herself.

Audrey followed her spiritual instincts and stepped back step by step.

Something terrible happened, and after approaching the castle, Audrey was on high alert, silently counting her steps. However, she counted until the number of steps she had taken backwards had exceeded the number of steps she had taken forward, and she was still directly in front of this strange castle, which was still so tall and towering, and there was no sign of getting smaller and far away!

But looking back, the cliff with its vast gray ocean has become extremely distant, almost merging with the horizon.

The other party's strength is much stronger than herself, and in the face of the "invitation" or "threat" of the dream owner, Audrey frowned, and she tried to wake herself up from the dream, but she unexpectedly failed.

That's what it means to have her in.

……

The cauldron of boiling herbs smoked, and a large amount of hypnotic gas came out of the pot along with the white water vapor, like dry ice in the water, and the scene was exactly like the wizards and potions depicted in the picture books.

Emlyn guarded his cauldron, and he sat on a small bench, holding his cheeks and watching the situation around him.

The clergy of the Church of Mother Earth God were still busy, they took the corresponding potion to resist the hypnotic effect, but the rescued civilians were all made to sleep by the special potion, and there was no movement in the ruins and remnants of the building, except for the footsteps of the church personnel, the friction of clothes, and the sparse sound of communication.

"Archbishop White, has the Mother Goddess delivered an oracle?"

Every now and then, a passing senior deacon or bishop approached and whispered a question, and Emlyn waved his hand to drive him back to work.

It's more like an open morgue than a makeshift hospital.

Emlyn shook her head vigorously and shook the bad thought out. In order to stop the populace from frantically praying and bowing to the "emperor" and even causing chaos, they could only do this. I heard that there had not been such a situation on Fenerport's side, and his "dependent" also reported what happened as soon as possible, but the Mother Goddess has not given an answer until now.

"Mother Goddess...... Emlyn prayed to Mother Earth in her heart, feeling sad even though he had no empathy for humanity.

The most important thing is that he doesn't know how to treat these patients who have suddenly lost their minds and gone crazy, and their mental problems are beyond their control, even for him, the "witch king", to be helpless - this is like a fanatical belief after being "charmed" by the evil gods, but this situation often occurs when "a large number of extraordinary people of the same path gain joy through the same sacrificial behavior", or the gods of this path give spiritual pollution and brainwashing from top to bottom, but most of the people who fall in front of them are ordinary people, not even extraordinary people.

The same problem has arisen in counties such as Lemburg and Segal, but the people of Fenerport have not been affected.

The only thing they have in common is that they are all Runnes, or rather, people who live in Rune.

The bishop of the Earth Church also dared to come, but Emlyn and the demigods of the Earth Church could not detect the spiritual effects of the "charm". There are no traces of contamination, no traces of brainwashing, not under the influence of drugs, and no participation in group fanaticism...... After one cause after another has been ruled out, there is only one and most implausible reason left:

All of them at the same time, from the bottom of their hearts, naturally developed fanatical faith in the Emperor.

“…… What the hell is to be done? ”

There is only one end for this kind of cultist whose spirit has been polluted - Emlin is really a little flustered at this moment, he is a blood clan, and the human race has nothing to do with him, but such a huge number makes him feel a chill down his spine, and the rabbit dies and the fox is sad.

At this time, his last expectation was that Mother Earth would give him an answer.

Now we can only hope for the gods, who will surely heal these people.

However, even the gods are powerless, and while people are praying to God on the earth, God is fighting for his own lives.

Lilith heard the prayers of the believers, but He didn't have time to do so.

In the current battle, the slightest distraction can lead to one's own defeat. Coupled with the fact that the collective rebellion of the believers mainly occurred in Rune and not Fenerport, and his anchor was still relatively intact, Lilith temporarily ignored the prayers of the believers for various reasons and helped wholeheartedly.

The "pacifying" effect of the potion was far less direct than that of the "audience", but after Lilith's arrival, with the help of his potion, Leodro's mental state was noticeably restored.

It's not that good, but at least it's not as if it could get out of control at any moment.

His arrival complicates the symbols that already exist in the astral plane, with the emergence of the earth and the endless forest. Between the earth and the mountains, the waves found their support, and the back of the earth unleashed their power, and the ears of wheat and plants grew at a rate that matched the twists. With Leodro's anchor assistance, Lilith dragged the children of Chaos, who were also one-way true gods, to the opposite side.

There is no air in the astral plane, but it is already filled with the breath of water.

There was a brass-colored eye in the middle of the sky, and the actions of all the gods except the hidden sage were under its watch, and everywhere the smell of the sea was filled, and the surging waves blocked the attacks from the opposite side again and again.

The gods who cherish life will always work harder between life and death, so the comparison between the two essentia incarnations on the opposite side is quite loose.

The Black Emperor stood in the middle of a huge pit, and countless plants tried to weave a large net at the edge of the pit, but the path of plant growth was always distorted, and it was impossible to follow the mind of Mother Earth Goddess. The Children of Chaos weren't surprised by their power, he even found it amusing, for it had been a long time since he had seen a fight for his life without having to devour each other.

The Children of Chaos felt a little bored, because anyone who knew that the current fierce enemy might die on their own in a short time probably wouldn't have the energy to take on it seriously.

"This is the fatal flaw you were born with."

The Children of Chaos mocked Mother Earth and the Thunder God, and the distorted space sent His voice far and loud. Lilith, born a mythical creature, said nothing, and the god of thunder glanced at him as he continued to wrestle with the Hidden Sage.

Compared to Leodro, the battle of the Hidden Sage was more like some kind of temptation, even learning.

He is using the battle with Leodro to quickly master and explore more uses for the ways he has, and he is constantly "learning" from the other party some small magic that can be made into "mysterious reproduction". He can't have the "Civilization Scroll", but he can use other simple props, and Leodro obviously doesn't have such leisure and leisure, he doesn't spare any hands for the unique activation god, his feet are high on the waves, the trident in his hand is wrapped in countless thunder lights, and he catches the brass eye and shoots a ray, stabbing at the hidden sage with overwhelming momentum!

The eyes of the hidden sage instantly locked on the trident in Leodro's hand, although the momentum was terrifying, but in the eyes of the gods who have mastered the authority of "essence" and "matter", it can also be interpreted as a simple "divinity" + "thunderbolt".

The hidden sage stretched out his hand and aimed at the oncoming trident, and in an instant, Leodro felt that he had stabbed an invisible barrier, and before he could enter a piece, his divinity and thunder and lightning were separated, and in the blink of an eye, the thunder and lightning were dismantled into a simpler substance, which was directly transmitted to the surrounding space. By the time they reached the Hidden Sage, the power above them had almost completely dissipated!

But in the end, the Trident still hit the Hidden Sage with a blow from the "White Tower" "Weakness Analysis".

In an instant, half of the god's body exploded, revealing a metal structure beneath the human skin, as well as a core of occult data.

If you can hit, you have a chance, and the only remaining eye of the hidden sage suddenly looked at Leodro, and in an instant, a huge amount of information was transmitted - "knowledge indoctrination"! However, Leodro, who possessed "omniscience", was not afraid of such skills, he easily accepted all this knowledge, and even aimed at the occult core in the center and was ready to continue the attack, but at this moment, he suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the information transmitted, which crazy influx of information and data brought an ancient atmosphere, bringing a distant wilderness wind.

"This is the data of the 'Knowledge Wilderness'!"

Leodro was shocked, he couldn't interrupt the other party's data transmission, but the transmitted "virus data" had quickly built half a model of the knowledge wilderness in his knowledge base.

Leodro didn't know and didn't want to know what would happen when the model was fully built, so he immediately threw the trident in his hand and struck him straight in the face, shattering the head of the hidden sage and forcibly diverting the other's attention.

However, the body is indistinguishable from the shackles or protection of a "data" god, and after the body is damaged, the Hidden Sage loses its form as if it melted into the wind, turning into a stream of data to construct the symbol of the "Occult Tree" in the astral realm. Leodro felt a little tricky, and his goal was the uniqueness and sequence one of the "Adam" in the other person's hand, or the "audience".

But at present, it seems that he has not pushed the other party to the point where he needs to use "Adam" to fight him.

At this moment, Lilith was also forced back by the Children of Chaos, Leodro and Lilith glanced at each other vaguely, and the waves and the huge arrow-like towering giant tree turned around at the same time, and rushed towards the Hidden Sage together!

The Children of Chaos did not intend to go up to help immediately, and at that moment, he saw Leodro's free hand suddenly clench hard in the air.

In an instant, the breath of war and gunsmoke rose to the sky!

TBC

——————

An apprentice of the Mother Earth God Church squatted down at the child's pleading, opened the eyelids of the patient at his feet, and saw that the pupils of the other party had dilated and his heartbeat had stopped, so he shook his head regretfully and said to the young child next to the patient:

"I'm sorry."

With that, he simply stood up decisively, bowed his head and left the place as if fleeing, leaving only the child to hold his mother's mutilated body and cry after a brief moment of stunnedness. After a while, the apprentice returned, and he stuffed half a loaf of bread in the child's hand, and then told him not to cry anymore, and that the other patients needed to sleep and rest, and that if they were woken up, the other adults would be unhappy.

"Doctor!" She grabbed the apprentice's hand like a life-saving straw, and begged in a hoarse voice, "Please......"

The apprentice's mouth tightened, and he pulled his hand back with all his might, nearly dragging the boy to a stagger.

"I'm sorry!" The apprentice did not look at the tears on the little girl's face, but said ruthlessly, "Your mother has gone to the kingdom of the gods, may she rest in peace, if you still need the help of our church...... After nine o'clock, the Church of the Flowers can begin to reserve places for burials. ”

After saying that, he left again, his back in a hurry.

The little girl stared blankly at the back of the doctor leaving, she wiped her tears with the back of her hand, and instead of putting the half of the bread in her mouth, she wrapped it in her own little handkerchief and put it in her mother's hand.

Then, she lay down gently, on the other side of her mother's empty shoulders, and hugged her mother's already cold body tightly.

She felt colder and colder, shed tears, and fell asleep.

In the dream, she seems to be back at her home where Fenerport is still there, with her father, sister, and brother still by her side. But somehow, it suddenly began to rain in the sky, and in the midst of the huge thunder, she watched her family members run away one after another. She caught up, but accidentally fell, no matter how she cried in the thunderstorm, her father, who liked her the most, didn't look back, and her brothers and sisters didn't turn around and hug her...... At this moment, the little girl saw a man approaching, holding up an umbrella, and squatting beside her.

It was an uncle dressed strangely, with a face that she seemed to have seen somewhere and which seemed to be strange, and dressed in many colors, like a magician in a circus.

"Hello, lovely young lady, I am a magician."

The gentle magician on the other side said, "My magic is to fulfill a wish, and you seem to have a wish that needs me to fulfill it." ”

The little girl was gently lifted up by him, and the world around her became gray, and only this small piece of umbrella was clear. Looking at the strange and familiar Mr. Magician on the other side, the little girl's nose was sour, and she couldn't help but say the words that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time:

"My wish is to bring my dad and mom, my brother and sister back to life, I want to go home, I want to go back to Fenerport......"

The young magician did not respond, and stared at the little girl in front of him with a deep gaze.

The little girl wiped her tears with the back of her hand, and when she saw that the magician uncle did not speak, she pulled her mouth and sobbed reluctantly, and laughed:

"I, I was joking, my mother said that even if you wish like that, even if you are a god, you can't fulfill it...... I ......"

As she spoke, she buried her head and sobbed lowly.

"No, no, don't say that, I can grant your wish, Lovely Miss." The magician smiled helplessly, "But I can only grant one of your wishes, and you can only choose one." ”

His words made the little girl's eyes widen with her head raised.

"Then, I want Mom!" After the little girl finished speaking, she immediately added, "I want to go home with my mother!" ”

"Your wish has been granted."

In the next second, the magician turned his black umbrella into a clump of Seville chrysanthemums as if by magic, and the little girl subconsciously blocked her head, but found that the thunderstorm had stopped at some point, and the sun was clear and empty.

"Go ahead."

The magician shoved the golden-brown Seville chrysanthemum into the little girl's hand and gently pushed her shoulder:

"Your mom has been looking for you for a long time."

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly opened her eyes and found herself lying alone in the corner, with nothing around her.

At this moment, the familiar voice called her name came from outside, and a woman with a torn coarse cloth skirt appeared outside the door without a door panel, her body intact, the back of her head and back, which had sunken from blocking the roof where the earthquake had fallen, and she held the little girl tightly with her intact arms, constantly touching her cheeks and stroking her hair.

"Oh my God, Sheila, where have you been? Mom has been looking for you for so long that she almost thought she would never see you again......"

Mom patted her back gently, and everything was so familiar. In this warm embrace, the little girl who had been stunned for a long time suddenly cried out and hugged her mother's neck. The mother was stunned for a moment, then coaxed her child distressedly, and asked softly, "Why are you crying, dear little Sheila, you must have had a very terrible, very terrible dream......

Is it a dream?

The little girl felt that it might not be a dream, she was held in her mother's arms, feeling her mother gradually becoming cold, how could that terrible feeling be a dream? But at this moment, in her mother's warm embrace, she gradually believed that she had just had a nightmare.

It must have been a nightmare, and even my mother had left her.

"Mom's ......"

The little girl sobbed and made her most wayward request: "I want to go home, I want to go home......"

"Okay, okay." "Let's go home, we'll go back to the country, we'll go home in the maple groves, we'll walk in the fields, mom can teach Sheila how to knit sweaters, we'll go back now, never to Beckland again." ”

The little girl snuggled tightly into her mother's arms, she was afraid that now was the dream, and as soon as she let go, her mother would leave again.

The mother carried her out of the dilapidated house, and when the little girl looked up, she saw a sunny bunch of Seville chrysanthemums in the corner of the wall in the distance. But before she could take a closer look, she was taken away from the street by her mother and ran in the direction of the docks.

"Mom." The little girl said, "Magician......"

"What magician?" Mom asked, "Did you have any interesting dreams?" ”

The little girl tried to recall, but she also found that she could not recall at all what she had just dreamed about. I only remember that there was clear sunshine in my dream, my parents, my brothers and sisters, and an uncle who felt very kind gave her a bouquet of flowers.

They were gone.

At this time, the young magician who had appeared in the child's dream pressed the top hat on his head and went to someone else's dream. When the brim of the hat was raised, a pair of golden-brown eyes were revealed under the fine black forehead.

The night breeze blew, and the hem of his black coat swayed gently. (End of chapter)
