So that's her duty as a guardian, and she wants to create a good story with you. The Romans were disgusted by her because the Romans ran every time they picked them, and their stories were so boring. The god of hunting is to see blood. Whether it's the blood of the bearer or the blood of the taker, the more the merrier. 】

"Exactly." Although Apollonia said it very directly, Bailu did not shy away from expressing her approval.

"To the gods, the story is the most important thing?" Shang Luo asked.

For the gods, stories are proof of their existence. The basis for the existence of all Heroes is that there is a transcendent being who wants them to create a better story. The setting is the skeleton of the gods, the story is the flesh and blood of the gods, and the story is the real carrier of the meme. That's why Hero's Parade is so much like a tabletop game – or why a tabletop game can be born out of Hero's Parade – because the two are fundamentally the same, which is to create a good story through collaboration between the host and the player. 】

"The hunt is also a story?"

[Celebrations, ceremonies, and even wars are all stories. The gods are cruel, even if they start the Trojan War and bleed thousands of people, because it would be a good story. The gods will preside over the story, and when the gods are not at this time, the lesser gods will preside, the 'Diana's deer' in front of you. However, Diana was not interested in the Trojan War, and the gods were eager for stories, but the types of stories varied. Diana's story is always about hunting in the wilderness. 】

"Become a hero and you can complete the parade and get rewards." Bailu added again, "The miracle of the gods is light, and it will not be diminished in the slightest because it shines on you. Conversely, the more miracles are performed, the greater the glory of God is revealed. So the gods are generous from the roots, as long as they can complete the story worthy of that reward. Heroes, naturally, will get glory worthy of him. ”

"Can I be considered a hero? I don't seem to be that strong yet. ”

"Heroes have nothing to do with strength or weakness, they have to do with stories. Odysseus, the king of Ithaca, is not strong either, but his Odyssey is enough to be sung to the end. Your story is also very tasty. ”

The deer stuck out its tongue and licked its lips. His tongue was red—His eyes were as deep as the stars, but his tongue and lips were the color of blood.

[Appeared! Appeared! The essence of the Old Gods has appeared! He's going to eat people! 】

Retracting his tongue, the white deer returned to its original form. The moonlight shone on Him, glowing softly white: "In short, noble one. Until your story loses its light, Diana's temple will always be on your side. ”

[This means that if you pluck the golden bough, the story of hunting and being hunted will always follow you.] The essence of the golden branch is like this, when you are the one who holds the branch, naturally someone will come and take the branch. But who is the hunter and who is the prey depends on your own ability. The more trespassers you hunt, the more the miracle of the god hunter will appear, and this is the source of the power of the demigods. 】

"So." He paused for a moment: "Before I asked you: whether you are talking to the past, or the future me; Your answer is: time doesn't matter. So, in the future, I will also have my own power and my own rituals? ”

"Yes, my lordship." Bailu bowed his head slightly, "It's just that in the current time, no one fights for your story, and no one sings your story - oh no, it's already a little, I see a little seed of divinity in you." ”

"You don't mean those bottles of Wangcub milk, do you?"

"When you see and hear the ceremony, you can benefit people immeasurably. All wishes will be fulfilled quickly, and there will never be any karmic obstacles. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? ”

"Okay. I don't think I can ask anything. ”

[That's right.] Whenever you ask something very specific, He will never answer. Because every answer is removing uncertainty. 】

"What do you mean by that?"

[It means that a divine being like Him, He is responsible for speaking, and if He says it, he will bear cause and effect - if he says that you can become a god-king, then He will be the cause and effect on your path to wearing a crown, and He can only bet everything in the future on you, or just fill himself in. That's why Dao Ancestor is willing to say 'yes' and 'no' to you, which is something that even surprises me. Most of the divine beings speak like He just did, and they only hint at their own meaning through metaphors, metaphors, and the like, or use allusions to other sayings and scriptures. As for what it means, it's up to you to understand it. 】

"Then why do you keep being so specific to me?"

[Hehe, Tong Yan is unscrupulous. It doesn't matter what I say. 】

Bailu added: "So that's why the Oracle of Delphi has been specializing in producing 'correct and useless riddles'. True, but He never vouches for His Word, so it is useless. In many cases, it can produce hundreds of pieces per day, which is higher than the output of human toilet paper. ”

[Can you please stop dismantling my stage!] 】

"Tut-tut. Okay, okay, I kind of know. Shang Luo looked ahead, "Since I can't ask anything, then I'll do it." I'll make one final confirmation. ”

He looked at the white deer:

"I'm going to break the branches, I'm going to really complete this ritual, and then the divine power will be attached to the golden branches?"

"Yes." The white deer gave a clear answer, because it was related to His own vocation. And it's a clear rule, it's been made before.

"So will you lead the way?"

"This way." The white deer didn't say much, shook off the antlers, and walked towards the depths of the forest, "The pathetic sword dancer is ahead. I'm here to remind you. The Sword Dancer is pathetic, but it is from this that her power is forged. She's amazing. ”

"Is there any strategy for that?" Shang Luo asked her.

"Didn't the Romans give enough strategies? They all copied here and here and released it into a game. All the details are inside, and they deconstruct the hero's parade to pieces. They're too utilitarian, they're just getting the job done. The gods dislike the same, that's not a story at all, so their rituals are becoming worn off around the world. Well, your story, here it is. ”

She raised her head slightly: "The front is. Not belonging here, the fragrance of flowers. Her story has nothing to do with me, but it's a good story. Go and free that poor sword dancer, remember the Romans' strategy, it will help you. ”
