Rewind to the time of Flint's death—but that step back doesn't mean anything to Flint himself.

When a person dies, what is the meaning of time?

Flint looked around suspiciously: he was now standing in a garden that he had no impression of, and it was full of hydrangeas in full bloom.

Flint looked at the colorful hydrangeas suspiciously, and muttered, "Is this flower so colorful?" What do I think of it as a predominantly subtle color? Do big red hydrangeas really exist? ”

Suddenly, Flint realizes that what is important now is not to study hydrangeas, but to figure out what is going on.

He looked around and called softly, "King? Your Highness? Long ears? Where have you all gone? ”

No one responded to him.

Flint frowned and called out the name he thought would definitely respond to him: "Gordrik!" Stop playing hide and seek! ”

No one responded.

Just then, music was heard in the distance.

Listen carefully and there is laughter, as if someone is having a party.

Flint frowned suspiciously, years of adventure experience made him think there must be fraud in this, so he touched his waist and tried to take out the five-headed flail, but what he found was a mediocre hammer.

"What the hell?" He was about to drop the hammer to find the reliable flail, but suddenly noticed a mark on the hammer.

He recognized the print—impossible not to recognize—it was Jenny's signature, and any product from Jenny's Magic Weaving Shop would have it.

He remembered that this hammer was a birthday present from Jenny back then, and that it was the set of Mithril armor that he used to make that could be recalled.

But after he began his adventure with his old friend, the half-elf bard Tannis, he lost it somewhere.

It's not that he doesn't care to keep it, it's that there are too many opportunities to lose things on the way to the adventure, and sometimes even all the salutes are lost along with the armor on his body.

If it weren't for the recall function of his armor, it would have been lost a long time ago.

But now, the hammer is literally in his hands.

"Enough!" Flint yelled, "Damn it, stop stealing memories from my head!" I know this must be your illusion! ”

However, no one responded, and the sound of music and laughter wafting in the distance remained.

Flint cupped his forehead and muttered quietly: "I need to calm down, if it is the work of those guys who like to play with illusions and psychology, there must be a solution to this problem, which is the 'problem'." ”

He looked around and finally decided to go where the sound came from.

So he walked through the hydrangea bushes for about a hundred meters, and when he crossed a row of hedges, his vision suddenly opened up.

A long table sits on the well-manicured lawn, full of delicate pastries, and a large fruit basket filled with appetizing fruit at first sight.

Such a sumptuous table, Flint had only seen in the Shire hills, the home of the halflings, who loved the abundance of food, wine and tobacco, and worked hard to enrich their tables.

Halflings rarely leave their hometowns, so many will not be able to use their talents for the rest of their lives. Those halflings who venture out of their hometowns are often top-notch thieves and assassins.

While Flint's attention was on the hearty food, a voice entered his ears, "Look, who's here!" ”

Flint followed the prestige and saw a man as big as Gautrek holding the Rudqin, looking this way.

Because the man was too burly, Rudchen looked like a toy in his hands.

Flint clenched his only weapon and stared at the man warily, "Who are you?" What do you want to do with illusion to get me to this place? ”

The man said unexpectedly, "Don't you feel a sense of intimacy in me?" ”

"That must be your trick! I feel this way when facing the Mind Flayer, I know it very well! ”

The man laughed: "You still blame me for not giving you a lifting ring, you see, you don't trust me from the bottom of your heart, your belief in me is just a show, I guess that halfling bard has too much influence on you." ”

Flint looked suspicious: "What do you mean?" You want to impersonate Kaylin? Kaylin is an unreliable god, but she won't be polite to pretending to be her own Xiaoxiao - probably. ”

The man laughed: "Look at your statement, 'Kailin is an unreliable god', 'You're welcome—probably', you didn't believe me at all!" If I opened the next ring for you, wouldn't it be cheap? ”

Flint frowned, "Strange, why did I start to think that you were Kailin?" ”

Man: "Because I am!" Anyway, I'm less of a fan of revealing my true colors, which is more like what Lancelot or Typhon like to do. ”

With that, he waved his hand, and the whole person flew up.

Flint: "Yes, yes! The last time he met the Mind Flayer, he flew up like this, and then pretended to be forced with us, saying that he was the mastermind's deputy or something. ”

The next moment, the man's body was drowned in the light, and when the light faded, his body swelled several times, becoming a giant who looked down on everything, and the indisputable divine light emanated from his body.

It is said that the magic of Kamiyama is the divine light of the simulated gods. However, the divine light of the righteous god does not always intimidate mortals, like Lancelot's divine light will only make the shining mortals feel warm.

And Kailin's divine light will make people involuntarily happy, as if they had just indulged in pleasure for three days.

Even Flint is now convinced that he has met the god of business, entertainment and wine: Kailin.

His legs were half-kneeling without his control—a mortal instinct when facing God.

The dancing girls who had just surrounded Kailin were all shrouded in light, and when the light faded, the four sages under Kailin's seat revealed their true faces.

Flint frowned, "Aren't the Sages all male?" ”

One of them said, "Sometimes it's good to be a woman, I mean, a woman who doesn't bleed regularly every month." ”

Several other Sages nodded.

Kailin waved her hand: "Stop! Now it's my turn. ”

"Oh yes, please." One of the Sages made a gesture of please.

Kaylin: "Flint, you've come to me because I've put a lot of attention into you, and you've developed a deep connection with me, and people like you are generally called my chosen people. ”

Flint: "But I just opened the four rings. ”

He thought for a moment and changed his words: "It didn't take long to start, after all, it was a month ago when I was promoted. ”

"Long-winded!" Kailin waved her hand, "I said, you don't believe me and question me, I just give you a ring will make me look unhanded." Lancelot is going to laugh at me! ”

Flint: "Lancelot? What's the matter with Lancelot? ”

"Of course, that guy is a nuisance, if something happens to me, he's going to come and lecture me, it's very annoying! Don't say anything about Caris Newman, the Newmans are not bad, there are no black spots other than being stupid. ”

Flint: "Uh......"

Kaylin: "Your mantra will be 'Lancelot's XXX' in the future!" So it was decided. ”

Flint: "That...... Lancelot's shrine is still quite common, and the shrine is all stationed with paladins, and I don't want to be cut down by Lancelot's paladin. ”

Kaylin snorted.

Flint: "So I...... Is it dead? ”

Kaylin: "Yes, because you're my de facto constituency, I'm watching through your eyes what's interesting — I mean, the progress of the salvation crisis. ”

Flint: "You just said it's funny. ”

Kaylin: "I'm the god of joy, and it's normal for me to say it's funny. Don't question my concern for the safety of the world. ”

One of the Sages said, "Believe first, then question." ”

Flint: "So, just because you're going to see a play, I'm sent in as your voters when I die?" Isn't it time for me to be canonized after that? Are you sure you want to canonize me, who only has the Four Rings Divine Technique? It's not appropriate, right? ”

Kaylin: "Actually...... That's the case, it is more troublesome for us gods to directly look at the material plane of the Lord, and we have to have our believers as intermediaries, unlike those traveling mages, who can see it with a crystal ball.

"We still have limitations, and we can't see what believers don't know, so the one with Rosalie and the Traveling Mage's apprentice...... We didn't see it! If you're eye-catching and let us see it, we might be able to raise the ring. ”

Flint: "I refuse!" ”

Kaylin: "Worthy of my chosen people!" Integrity and kindness! Yes, you should be! It's just a test for you! ”

Flint looked at the Four Sages next to him, "Is he always like this?" ”

"You didn't serve Him on the first day, don't you know?" The Sage asked rhetorically, anyway, he didn't answer directly, but it was no different from answering.

Kaylin: "All in all! We're going to find a way to get you back now. But you died by eating the Death Technique, and the Resurrection Scroll probably won't be able to resurrect you. After your eyeliner broke, we don't know what happened next.

"So we're going to send you back somehow. You know that sometimes we can send the messenger down directly, and in this case we have to mold a body for the messenger. ”

Flint: "You're saying I'm going to be your envoy?" Are you sure you want to get a priest of the Four Rings to change the order? ”

Kaelin: "What's not to do?" Is it so inconvenient for an envoy? And now the gods are paying attention to what is happening in Garia. Soon you will meet the edicts of other gods, or the elect.

"And I have a hunch that Ragnora's arrival is not simple, and there is a black hand behind the Order. But right now, I don't see any future developments other than those traveling mages who are out of the timeline. ”

Flint: "Wait a minute! Can't you see? ”

Kaylin: "I don't have prophecy or fate modifiers in my authority. ”

Flint: "Affixes? ”

Kailin: "yes, so I don't know what's going to happen in the future. Although we are gods, we are bound to this system, and although we can travel to other planes, we are incarnations, not ourselves. Avatars are just relatively strong mythical creatures.

"We ourselves are always affected by the flow of time in our plane. And the damned Brigade Mages, they're out of their original timeline, they can't take us down, but we can't help them, because they're not limited by the timeline.

"Lancelot hated the Brigade Mage very much, because there was a Brigade Mage who kept teasing him, and after being 'destroyed', he ran back from the time of his resurrection.

"So the traveling mages know what to expect in the future, because they can look at the timeline as they like, just like we flip through a book, you can turn to the number of pages in the table of contents to the number of pages you are interested in before you read the book. Brigade mages are like that, they can turn to the later chapters first to see the results. ”

Flint: "Got it. And the last question, after I reshape my body as an envoy, what if they find a way to restore my body and then use the resurrection scroll? ”

Kailin: "No, you have only one soul, you can't fit into two shells." So their resurrection will be unresponsive. ”

Flint: "Okay, so how do I get back?" Where will you go back when you go back? ”

One of the Sages spoke, "We will try to send you to something that has more of your breath." Like next to your armor. But before we send it back, we need to reshape your body. ”

Kaylin: "Yes. So what do you like about the materials that reshape the flesh? Pork pie? Or is it a fine piece of corned beef, with a dash of wine? ”

Flint was shocked: "What are you going to do to me?" ”

One of the Sages: "Rest assured, the material will only keep you smelling of the material on your body, and there are no other side effects." ”

"This side effect is fatal, okay?" Flint exclaimed, "There's a werewolf with a super nose in the Salvation Squad!" She's going to bite me! Can you reshape my flesh with something other than food? ”

Kaylin: "We just want to see her bite you!" ”

"I refuse! If you don't give a serious body, I won't go back, and I'll stop doing it! ”

Flint sat on the floor.

Kailin and the Four Sages looked at each other.

Sage: "Or, use your lute." ”

Kailin looked at her lute and smiled, "It's okay, it's fun." ”

Flint: "Wait a minute! Let's talk about the side effects of this thing! ”

Kailin: "It's not a side effect, the main thing is that you have music when you're emotional. You just don't get emotional. ”

Flint: "You! ”

Kailin: "I've granted you a request!" Don't get an inch! If you want to, you are willing, if you are not willing to pull down, I will canonize you, and then play the piano and eat with me here every day. ”

Flint thought for a moment and scolded, "Kaylin's horns! ”

Kaylin: "Fuck you! ”

Flint: "You make me a body with your lute, that's my new mantra!" ”

Kailin thought for a moment, "It's okay. When the time comes, I will send down an oracle and let my knights start to trouble you. Wait for me. ”

As she spoke, Kaylin snapped her fingers, and her lute flew up, gradually changing into Flint's appearance.

Then the dwarf's body also floated up, flying towards the new body, gradually becoming one.

The new "Out-of-Character Order Makes Flint" Born!
