Chapter 45: Mother Earth and Steel
Alleys paved with bluestone tiles
The boy took the girl's hand and stood there in a daze, as if he was distracted by something.
The girl's slender silver was hanging over her shoulders, and the neon light around her shone on the faces of both of them, making them look a little more angry.
"Brother, the one just now...... Yes?", the girl looked at the empty alley, and there seemed to be the appearance of the girl in the golden and white dress just now in the corner of her eyes. With the qualifications of a witch, she could feel the girl's mortal existence, between humans and gods, and even with Liliana's spiritual vision, she could feel several divine powers wrapped around her body.
"Although it is right to call them Divine Ancestors, in fact...... They have a very close relationship with the earth and steel......," the boy said slowly. At the same time, he used the ability of interdimensional to isolate himself and Liliana from this world.
Because this information was obtained by Tatsu by accident. After usurping the power of the steel of the earth and the god of disobedience, Tatsumi used the power of 'Ancient Wisdom' to gain more knowledge about steel. At the same time, he also truly understood the essence of the Divine Ancestor, at least he was able to see through some of the things that were covered.
"Lily, do you remember the definition of a Fullmetal Hero?", the boy asked in a low voice to the girl beside him, standing in the gray silence of the dimensional space.
"Hmm...... If we talk about the heroes of steel, they should be the gods of war and fighting that appear from mythology, with battle and victory as the source of strength, which is equivalent to the existence of living weapons. So their power is stronger than the average god of disobedience, and yesterday's one seems to be a Fullmetal Hero, right?", Liliana read out the knowledge she had gained from the books.
"Kun can't be considered a pure hero of steel. The thieves live in the soil, and the level of flooding is controlled. He is a hero who steals the power of the earth and fights with it, and although he has the partial nature of steel, he is more often regarded as the god of the earth. Zhu Rong beheaded the cang, and the corpse turned into a dragon and lurked in the feather abyss. This sentence also shows the god's dragon and snake attributes, that is, the symbol of being the earth. Tatsumi slowly told this, correcting some of Liliana's concepts.
"But what does this have to do with the Divine Ancestor? Hmm...... The Divine Ancestor is a descendant of the god of the earth...... The blood of the dragon and snake ......", and in a trance, she entered the state of spiritual vision again, but because this dimensional space was transformed into a different dimension, and the connection with the outside world was not close enough, Liliana did not get more information from the spiritual vision.
"The Hero of Steel represents combat and weapons, and another important attribute is the allusion to the slaughter of dragons and snakes. From the perspective of the evolution of ancient civilization, the earth mother goddess is the representative worship of the matriarchal society, which means the characteristics of harvest, life, death, prosperity and so on, and the hero of steel is the embodiment of the worship of the patriarchal society, which is a symbol of the overthrow of the matriarchal society. Mother Earth was relegated to the rank of dragon serpent because she was defeated by the Heroes of Steel, and Steel, in the process, gained the power of the earth. Chen slowly explained the relationship between the two, and finally gave a conclusion:
"The ancestor represents the incarnation of the Earth Mother God who was defeated by the heroes of steel, and the existence of the gods who was killed by steel and turned into the dependents of heroes, which is also a characteristic that reflects the absorption of matriarchal society by patrilineal society. In other words, the Divine Ancestor should have appeared as a disobedient person. Chen said so, but it scared Liliana.
Of course she understood that the gods should return to mythology after they died, but the fact that the god ancestor turned out to be the mother goddess of the disobedient land who was killed had to surprise her.
"Although I'm curious about how this was done, it's a pity that there are too few clues, if I can catch the Divine Ancestor just now, maybe I can get a glimpse of the mystery inside......," Tatsumi said with some regret.
Liliana was a little speechless. Of course, she could feel the magic power on the god ancestor just now, although it was strong, it was still not comparable to the disobedient, at most it was a few points stronger than the disobedient god. Is this what happens to the god of disobedience after death?Liliana was once again vague about the image of the god.
Tatsumi may have noticed the surprise and confusion on Liliana's face, guessed that his goal had been achieved, smiled a little and lifted the alienation around him, flicked her bright forehead and said:
"Don't think about it so much...... The god of disobedience is sometimes not immortal like the myth, sitting in the person of the gods. Chen, pulling Liliana, who had come back to her senses, walked on the trail with a stealth technique.
"Brother, it's raining!", Liliana, who came back to her senses, suddenly noticed the raindrops around her and said with some surprise.
"Isn't it nice to walk in the rain?" Tatsumi responded.
"But it's going to get wet. Liliana said as she looked at the drizzle and seemed worried
"Just block it with a spell......
"But it's a waste of magic...... Brother, can you help me......"
The voices of the two men were gradually buried in the sound of the rain, as if they had never appeared.
..................
Half a month later
Kasbah on the outskirts of Milan
Because of the special magic enchantment arrangement, there will be no ordinary people coming and going here, and only the two high-level members of the Magic Association can enter and exit here.
A golden petite girl appeared in the woods, and she crossed the forest in a degree that was difficult for ordinary people to catch, and reached the gate in front of the ancient castle. The guards quickly recognized the man in front of them as one of the king's commands, and only after they were recognized did they open the barrier and the gate to let the girl in.
In the hall on the second floor of the castle
In the past, it was empty, and it was usually just a place of miscellaneous furniture, and sometimes it was used for tea and small talk. But today, the magic barrier here is in full swing, because batches of magic books and ancient artifacts are being placed on the ground, and each magic book has a lot of magic power wrapped around it.
A young man is sorting and sorting books. Although it is just a chorre for ordinary people, it is a dangerous thing for magicians to sort out these magic books that contain powerful spells. If the anti-curse magic on the body accidentally fails, or if the organizer's own magic power is insufficient, it may lead to a curse.
"Whew...... It's really a lot......", the young man who is not known for his body is sweating fine on his forehead. Sorting out these troublesome things made him a little tired, and he couldn't see the demeanor of the original Danish first-day magician.
"Would you like to take a break?", a handkerchief came to his ear along with the delicate girl. A gentle and caring greeting, as if it has the ability to hook the soul.
The young man was stunned, took the handkerchief and wiped his sweat, but after his body trembled, the beads of sweat on his forehead came out, and he shouted with panic, irritability, and some unnaturalness:
"What the hell are you going to do!Besides, you're a man...... Why does it smell like a girl!", with sharp complaints and helpless eyes, Jack looked at Ruoya, who was looking at him with a smile on his face, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Since the last time he saw the true face of this pseudo-girl in the bath and was broken by his own sister, Jack suddenly felt that his life was dark. Taking a cute boy as the object of his longing and being beaten by his sister fat, coupled with the disdainful eyes that his sister Celia cast from time to time, he felt that his spirit was broken.
"Gee, it's just because it's always on my body. So it's natural to have my body fragrance. ", the pseudo-mother Ruoya said with a smile.
"It's not, hey, how can a boy have a body fragrance...... It's definitely perfume, right......", just as Jack was complaining to Ruoya, a golden girl suddenly appeared on the stairs on the second floor.
As if she saw Ruoya and Jack, she snorted lightly, didn't look at the two of them, and took out the magic guide book that was built in the dimensional magic trick with her, and arranged them one by one.
Feeling his sister's coldness, Jack was instantly petrified, so he didn't notice the planned smile of the black-bellied pseudo-girl behind him.
Maybe thinking of something again, Ruoya gently leaned on Jack's broad back, and the more petite he put his hand on Jack's shoulder, and whispered, "Why, abandoned by your unlovely sister?"
The soft touch behind him, coupled with the warm air flowing in his ears, made Jack shiver all over his body, and he kept admonishing himself in his heart
"This is a man...... It's a man...... Be...... Ahhhhh
A certain Jack, who was roaring in his heart, didn't know that his heart had been known by the black-bellied pseudo-mother behind......
Celia, who was standing not far away, took a second look after hearing her brother's abnormal panting, and her face instantly darkened.
"Oops, my terrible become||Big Brother is sick again", although he spoke with a smile, he felt that the golden girl's body was wrapped with black resentment.
"Ah, no...... My lovely sister, listen to me, ......", Jack took a friendship punch before he could finish his words, and Ruoya behind him didn't know when to dodge away. Only a large crater was left in the wall, and Jack was shot out of the shell in the form of a humanoid. From the hole, you can still see the figure who is lying on the ground and convulsing.
"The barrier needs to be repaired again. A ghost being summoned by magic is sighing in his heart and setting out to repair the wall.
And at this time, Chen happened to come back with Liliana, looked at Jack who fell to the ground, gave a healing technique casually, and said to the pale Jack with a smile:
"If you're writing a light novel, it's just called 'My pseudo-girlfriend and the tragic Shura field of the strange sister?', it must be a very healing ending. ”
"Depression is ah, hey...... It must be the end of blood,......," Jack said forcefully.
(PS: I don't end this volume with the Final King, because it's just a matter of expressing something in this worldview.)
PS2: Eh,It seems to say that the style of painting is wrong 2333.,Don't care... )
