The Green Valley is located on the west side of the eastern border of the empire. It carries rich fertility and vitality. It is the largest and best granary and pasture in the eastern border.
Its west and south sides are surrounded by majestic and continuous mountains. The mountains are surrounded by clouds and mist, forming a spectacular scenery.
Next to the rugged mountains, there are vast and fertile lands, flower-filled grasslands, clear intertwined streams, herds of cattle and sheep, and galloping horses.
Logos returned to the Earl's Mansion, spent a few days catching up with his parents, and then went straight to the Barony of Morotan in the Green Valley, which is also the territory he currently inherits and belongs to the Breed Territory.
He did not go to the baron's mansion and was not very willing to deal with the many vassals and squires in the territory. Instead, he chose to stay in a small villa.
The only person accompanying him was Erina. Alice said she would be here in a few days, while Lufia wanted to see when she could convince her parents.
The sunlight falls as softly as silk on the grass in the backyard of the villa, presenting every detail of the grass clearly and realistically. The breeze flows and the grass blades dance slightly, showing the rhythm of nature and the vitality of life.
Luo Gesi was wearing a white half-sleeved shirt and black knee-length shorts, with a monocle in his eye sockets. He sat cross-legged on the grass, reading the Sage's Codex in the Magic Book with his eyes lowered.
"This word is translated into animist philosophy by the current imperial language. It is a comprehensive word that mainly refers to the connection and interaction between spirituality and nature, so the meaning of this passage should be to tell..."
Alina was wearing a white dress, leaning against Rogers' side with her legs bent, reading the manuscript with him, and helping to answer his questions from time to time.
The two of them were enveloped in a bright atmosphere, constantly interpreting the wisdom from the sages of the past.
When a breeze came and blew Alina's long snow-white hair, Hans quickly came to Luo Gesi's side and opened his mouth to report:
"Master, the goddess of the Santan tribe is here. She is waiting in the living room, and I have arranged for her accompanying guards to stay in the pavilion in the front yard."
Erina slowly frowned upon hearing this, and a bit of displeasure flashed through her slightly closed eyes, as if she was unhappy about interrupting the immersive atmosphere.
Luo Gesi closed the magic book and melted it back into the void. He stood up and patted his butt, slightly raising his chin to show his clarification.
Then he and Alina went to a simply decorated living room.
The goddess who was sitting on the sofa stood up quickly when she saw the visitor, and gave a standard meeting lord ceremony to Luo Gesi.
"You may call me Izril, and I appreciate your permission to visit."
Izrael is a slender girl. Her long dark brown hair is tied behind her neck. She wears a hair ornament made of flowers and feathers on her head. She wears a soft linen robe and is wrapped diagonally. The outer cover is embroidered with mountain eagle totem and sun and moon patterns.
The other party's skin is fair, not like the nomads who have been exposed to wind and sun. His dark eyes are as calm as a mirror lake, and his beautiful face exudes a trace of divine brilliance that seems to be born with him. .
"It's an honor for me to meet you, no need to be polite." Luo Gesi stroked his chest slightly and motioned for the other person to sit down, while he and Alina sat on the sofa on the opposite side.
The round low table between the three people was filled with steaming black tea and various refreshments.
Luo Gesi suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange. He found that both the goddess and Alina seemed to be staring at each other intently, as if they were engaging in some kind of competition.
Every nomadic group that is large enough to have a certain size will have its own goddess. These goddesses assume some of the functions of prophets. They will inherit the precious knowledge left by the goddesses of the past generations. They control the sacrificial power of the clan and also have a certain degree of political discussion. right.
Izrael doesn't look much older than Logos, but the other party is actually seventeen years old. However, the special characteristics of the goddess make her grow much slower than ordinary people, and she also has more abilities than ordinary people. Long lifespan.
"I know that Arkan cannot be your opponent, so I beg you to refuse this rude invitation to a riding fight. This will not damage any of your glory."
Not long after, Izril folded her hands on her knees and spoke slowly in a pleading tone.
Rogers raised his hand to hold his monocle slightly, and was about to ask the other party why he didn't persuade Alkan with confusion, when Alina next to him interjected: "This goddess is lying, she doesn't think You can beat Alkan."
Izril subconsciously wanted to open her mouth to refute something, but under Alina's sarcastic gaze, she finally chose to be quiet.
"But she can't predict a clear future, so she should be afraid of the unknown. I guess she came here mainly to test you." Alina continued to add to Luo Gesi without mercy.
Is this same-sex repulsion? Or is there any other reason?
Rogers did not refute Alina's disrespectful remarks, but just reached out and gently rubbed his chin, carefully observing the goddess's reaction.
"I can refuse the invitation to fight, but again, when someone helps someone, there is always some benefit. So can you answer a few questions for me?"
As he spoke, he silently activated the [Enlightenment Special Code] and strengthened the [Contract Special Code], waiting for the other party's questions and answers.
Izril's eyebrows furrowed, she did not agree or refuse, she just remained silent.
"You guy..." Rogers sighed, and after confirming something, he looked helplessly at Alina.
After Alina showed off her ability to detect lies and predict things like this, Izrael must have become suspicious of his previous question, so she did not respond rashly. After all, she already had Alina by her side, so what questions did she need? Go ask the goddess.
Moreover, the fact that Alina has the power of prediction cannot be known to outsiders. After all, the goddess's divination is only within the ordinary divination witchcraft, and Alina's performance just now is much better than ordinary divination.
Therefore, in order to protect Elina, he would definitely have a certain amount of hostility toward Izril.
"What's wrong with me?" Alina asked softly, turning her head and staring at the past.
"Nothing, very good." Luo Gesi immediately replied. Now that the other party has experienced the foundation laying ceremony and is of a higher rank than himself, he needs to avoid his sharp edges.
However, things are fickle. After he has laid the foundation, he will let Alina know what the ups and downs of fate are.
Izrael calmly watched the two people in front of her talking as if no one was watching, but she seemed to be able to gradually hear her own heartbeat, and she became increasingly uneasy and nervous.
She regretted coming to this place without authorization.
There was definitely something hidden in Rogers Braid's question just now. It was only at this moment that her spiritual sense received a crisis reminder.
Alina seems to have a divination ability similar to hers. She foresees that the other person's future is different from being blurry after being related to Logos, but is constantly changing rapidly and chaotically.
This girl with long snow-white hair has a stronger anti-peeping mechanism for her destiny than herself...
"Goddess of the Santan tribe, I sincerely hope that we can work together, because I don't want to see the tribe you lead destroyed." Logos looked back at Izril, with a sincere expression and a caring tone.
[Izrael launches a lie detector spell on you, and the ignorance bonus is passively triggered. Please choose whether to pass the judgment. 】
[The polygraph test passed and the above words are not lies. 】
Looking at the prompt box that popped up in front of him, he smiled and continued in a gentle tone:
“I am blessed with miracles and special scriptures, and have inherited the wisdom of sages of all ages.
“I have served as the oracles of the gods, and I have pushed the gods into the abyss.
"I have seen the future that even the prophets have never seen, and I will lead all living beings to the world in my imagination.
“Countless people rebuke me, countless people fear me, and countless people worship me.
"With me like this, do you think Arkan has any hope of victory? Is it possible for the Santan tribe to win?
"If you don't want the Santan clan to be swallowed up in the future I create, then cooperate with me. I will generously allow the Santan clan to survive."
Although the spirit of the game is outrageous, he is a god after all; although he only obtained some contents of the manuscript, it is the wisdom of a sage after all; although it only promotes productivity improvement, it can be regarded as bringing the creatures to the future world he imagined. ;Although the so-called swallowed up refers to the way of life...
Although there was a little bit of moisture in his words, they were all true after all.
Because of Alina's willfulness, the other party has already developed a strong defensive mentality, so Luo Gesi felt that he had to do something big all at once and use the special code to immediately and completely control the other party.
When Izril was sure that these were indeed not lies, her eyes widened unconsciously and her lips trembled, not knowing what to say at the moment.
"My patience is limited, please hurry up and decide whether to agree or not. This is my last mercy, otherwise..." The smile on Luo Gesi's face gradually faded away, and at the same time, he used [Liqi Special Code] to incite the other party. Emotions.
There was a trace of confusion and worry in Izril's eyes, her expression was struggling and confused, and there was already a huge wave in her heart.
She didn't understand how Luo Gesi did it. These words were completely beyond her understanding. This could not be a feat that "humans" could do.
But this is all true, and there is no trace of the technique being modified. If the other party has the strength to easily modify the technique without letting her notice, there is no need to tell such outrageous lies.
"I hope you can keep your promise..." Izril looked at Rogoth's smile that was about to disappear completely, and responded with difficulty, knowing that she had no choice.
In an instant, complex deep purple lines appeared in her spirit and soul, and the inscriptions representing the establishment of the contract were engraved.
"You made a wise decision." Rogers nodded with satisfaction, and then continued:
"If I remember correctly, you goddesses have inherited the wisdom of past goddesses since their birth. However, in order to ensure that their spirits are not destroyed, they will use secret methods to seal them in their spirits, and then slowly reveal them as their strength increases. .
"I also ask you to keep the truth that I just confessed to you, and you cannot recall it without my permission.
"You just need to remember one thing in the future. You'd better obey what I ask you to do. After all, you don't want the Santan family to suffer misfortune, right?"
As he spoke, he was also thinking about it. If Izrael presided over the sacrifice, and mixed some materials from the Abyss of Disorder into it, it should have a good effect, and there happened to be a seal from the Abyss of Disorder in the magic book. The succubus of the abyss.
I just hope that the Santan tribe can be wiser and can exit the Green Valley obediently after Alkan's defeat.
Under the coercion of the contract, Izril had no room to refuse. After she sealed those few words, Logos asked a few more questions about the internal situation of the Santan tribe, and then waved him away.
Alina stared at Izril's back with empty steps, a slightly satisfied look on her face.
Be afraid, just be afraid, no other unnecessary emotions are needed...
She picked up the cup on the low table, blew gently to let the aroma of black tea spread in the air, and then tasted the taste elegantly.
"Are you satisfied?" Rogers asked vaguely as he picked up a pastry with a fork, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.
"Hmm~" Alina put the tea cup back on the table, raising her eyebrows slightly and making a soft sound.
After the two filled their stomachs for a while, Rogers went to the large open space in the front yard. After he summoned Hans, he laid out the grains and fruits sealed in large wooden boxes in the magic book one by one, and ordered him to put these Distribute food to the people who are often harassed by the nomads. When the nomads come again, the people can propose to hand over the food in exchange for peace.
After the explanation, he and Alina went back to the grass in the backyard together and read through the Sage's Codex again.
…
Accompanied by two strong guards wearing animal skins, Izril rode a tall horse and slowly returned to the camp where the Santan tribe was stationed at the edge of the green valley.
She looked up at the blue sky, then looked down at the vast and beautiful green fields, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"My Goddess! Why did you go to find that despicable person without informing me?"
Arkan, wearing short-sleeved linen clothes, rode a horse from directly in front of Izril. He tightened the horse's rope and stopped the horse, then asked a slightly annoyed question.
"You have no right to ask me to report everything to you." Izrael continued to hold the rope and walked forward without any intention of stopping, but replied softly in a complicated tone.
Arkan looked at the subtle expression on the goddess's face and was stunned for a moment when he heard the inexplicable tone.
He had never seen a noble goddess with such an attitude. After regaining consciousness for a moment, he ignored the two guards who saluted him, but drove his horse beside Izril and continued to ask:
"Did anything happen when you saw that Logos?"
When Izril heard the question, she looked stunned for a moment, and there was a moment of confusion on her face. Then she shook her head slightly and said calmly: "It has nothing to do with you."
"It has nothing to do with it? How could it have nothing to do with me?! I am the young patriarch of Santan!" Alkan felt strong uneasiness in his heart. He tightened his grip on the reins, looked straight at Izril, and gritted his teeth and said:
"I am asking you a question in the name of the young clan leader. This is related to the future of our clan. If you still remember the responsibilities of the goddess, please tell me the details."
Izril's eyebrows were slightly condensed, and there was an unconcealable struggle on her face. Finally, she closed her eyes and replied, "I just met him and chatted for a few words."
Arkan reached out and pulled the reins of the horse under Izril, veins popped out on his forehead, his eyes were fixed on Izril's cheek, trying his best to suppress his breath: "Did he do anything to you? "
"Stop asking! Even if you are the young patriarch, you can't disrespect me so much!" Izril frowned, her face frosty, and her eyes cold as she admonished.
She opened Arkan's hand with a wave of her hand, then tightened the reins, whistled, and drove the horse forward.
Alkan did not chase, but let the horse under his crotch move forward slowly. He slowly raised his arm, stared blankly at the place where he was hit, and murmured in a low voice:
"Izril, you took action on me..."
The scene just now kept replaying in his mind, and just now Izril didn't seem to answer directly.
If it was information related to the Santan clan, it would be impossible for the goddess to be so evasive.
As he thought about it, those dirty sentences in the reply that Luo Gesi gave him emerged one by one, and they kept popping up in his mind.
The muscles on Arkan's face were twisted with anger, his teeth were clenching, and his eyes shone with fierceness and hatred.
His face was red, he raised his fist and hit the horse's back hard.
The horse shuddered suddenly, leaned back quickly, and let out a shrill cry.
"Logeth Braid! I will kill you! I will kill you!"
Arkan's legs tightened around the horse's body, his eyes were bloodshot, his voice was full of resentment and violence, and he let out a beast-like roar.
