After signing the alliance, Xu Cheng prepared to return to Kirov.
The Goddess of Winter suggested: "Stay in Kherson. We will also discuss how to deal with Zhidong later. I will arrange for your people to escort them over. I have found several archaeologists in advance. I believe they will With the help of the police, we can more quickly decipher the riddles left by Yekashenko.”
Xu Cheng thought about it and thought it made sense. Running back and forth was also a hassle, so he nodded and agreed.
The Goddess of Winter asked Sarah to go down and arrange the matter, and to win over a qualified ally. She was in a very good mood now, and the conversation was very sexual, and invited Xu Cheng to stay and continue the exchange.
Of course it's not a special exchange. The goddess of winter is now only a ball of light, and she can't play any tricks she wants.
The two sides just had a casual chat. As allies, they both need to have a certain understanding of each other.
And Xu Cheng also wanted to ask the Goddess of Winter about some things that Amaterasu had refused to say before, such as the origin of the World Tree.
"The origin of World Tree...I'm sorry, that is a history that none of us want to mention. I can't tell you."
The Goddess of Winter apologized for her concealment, and seemed a little worried that Xu Cheng, her new ally, would be dissatisfied, so she added: "I can only tell you that the formation of the World Tree is related to a supreme god. There are also some past reasons for its collapse. The World Tree took away all the blessings on the earth, causing us weak gods to hide in the secret realm and fall into a deep sleep. Its collapse is also a good thing for most gods. Yes, but for ordinary creatures, it is a disaster."
Seeing that she refused to tell, Xu Cheng asked another question: "Where is the origin of the protoss that day? It can be said."
The Goddess of Winter nodded: "The ancestor of the Celestial Clan was a very powerful god and the winner of the last God's Choice War. However, he was betrayed by his companions and died. All the Celestial Clan are his descendants.
Chosen War?
Xu Cheng heard an unfamiliar vocabulary: "What is the God's Chosen War?"
"The God's Choice War is a war for the ownership of the World Tree. In ancient times, the World Tree was broken once. The ancestors of the Celestial Clan won the God's Choice War and rebuilt the World Tree, sucking away all the energy from the earth. Bless you.”
Xu Cheng's expression changed slightly: "Then now that the World Tree is broken for the second time, will it also trigger the God's Choice War?"
"That's right!"
The tone of the Goddess of Winter also became solemn: "The Celestial God Clan is collecting the Heart of God, probably to resurrect their ancestors. Once his ancestors are resurrected, they will definitely collect the broken World Tree fragments again and complete the World Tree again. The gods We will not sit idly by and a new battlefield may be inevitable."
"Didn't anyone stop the Celestials from resurrecting their ancestors?"
"Most of the gods who have survived from ancient times to this day are very weak like me, and they have just woken up and are in a very weak state. It will take a long time to recover their strength."
The Goddess of Winter became quite depressed: "And because of the God's Choice War, it is difficult for gods to trust each other anymore, and it is unlikely that they will unite again."
Xu Cheng felt that there was a lot of information in her words.
Unlikely to be united again - meaning united at least once before.
The Chosen War may have also involved infighting among the gods, causing them to become distrustful of each other.
"Have you ever united before?"
"Sorry, that can't be said."
"Then why are the weak gods and not the powerful gods surviving?"
The Goddess of Winter sighed: "Because the weak gods were indifferent to the world, they hid early. In those days, the more powerful the gods, the faster they fell."
Xu Cheng changed the question: "Why must the ancestors of the Celestial Clan collect the World Tree? The World Tree absorbs all mysteries. Isn't it true that he, as a god, is not affected?"
The Goddess of Winter was silent for a while, and then said apologetically: "I'm sorry, as an ally, I don't want to lie to you, but there are some things about the secrets of the World Tree that I can't say because they involve the gods. As agreed between us, I don’t want to be a faithless person.”
Xu Cheng suddenly understood why Amaterasu was unwilling to say it. It must be because of this agreement between the gods.
However, the Goddess of Winter is more honest than Amaterasu, and at least she will tell him that she can't tell him because of the agreement.
And she has revealed enough information now.
The Goddess of Winter also has many problems, such as Xu Cheng's identity and origin, and the enemies he wants to deal with.
As courtesy, Xu Cheng briefly introduced himself. By the way, he also introduced the grudges between Amaterasu and Xu Fu. He did not reveal his intention to create a god.
The Goddess of Winter was very surprised after hearing this. She didn't expect that there was a real god whose power was taken away, and Xu Fu was an immortal created by Amaterasu himself. This was even more outrageous. It was up to him to find fault for himself.
"I have never heard of the name Amaterasu, but I seem to have a vague impression of the goddess you mentioned."
There was a slight smile in the goddess of winter's tone. Xu Cheng realized that she and Amaterasu might have known each other. He asked a few more questions out of curiosity, but she refused to say any more.
The two parties chatted for a long time, gained a basic understanding of each other, and both believed that the other party was a very suitable ally.
Seeing that it was already very late, Xu Cheng stood up and left.
The Goddess of Winter persisted: "I have asked Sarah to arrange a room for you in the Winter Palace. You can stay here during this period."
Xu Cheng did not refuse. Next, he would discuss with the Goddess of Winter how to deal with Zhidong.
And if you don’t live in the Winter Palace, do you have to find a small hotel to stay outside? It's also very sorry for his status as an ally of the goddess.
After saying goodbye to the goddess of winter, Xu Cheng came outside the main hall, where the female mayor Sarah had been waiting for a long time.
】
"Sir, the accommodation has been prepared for you. Please come with me."
Compared with when she came before, Sarah seemed more respectful now, and even the title was changed from guest to adult.
Because the Goddess of Winter has given her an order to treat Xu Cheng like the goddess. This is the most distinguished guest since the Winter Palace was built, and she must not be careless at all.
Under the leadership of Sarah, Xu Cheng came to a luxurious courtyard prepared for him.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw four beautiful beauties wearing tulle, with their private parts looming, and they slowly said hello to him as they knelt on the ground, revealing their beautiful backs and gourd-shaped figures that would have been a pity without cupping.
"Sir, these four maids are here to take care of your daily life."
Sarah looked at Xu Cheng carefully, wondering whether this arrangement satisfied him.
She had painstakingly collected these four beauties. In order to take care of Xu Cheng's Asian identity, she even specially selected mixed-race beauties. Every one of them released would bring disaster to the country and the people.
Xu Cheng turned to look at Sarah: "These are far behind you, how about you take care of me."
Sarah's face changed slightly, but she didn't show any shame or anger. Instead, she fell into a tangle, hesitating whether to agree or not.
Xu Cheng was just joking. Unexpectedly, this woman was actually thinking about it seriously. She waved her hand quickly and said, "I'm just kidding you. I don't need these. Get rid of them quickly."
If he dares to keep these beauties, when Bai Yuelin comes to the Winter Palace and discovers them, the next time he eats hot dogs and lychees, they might make him burst with juice in one bite.
Seeing that Xu Cheng didn't seem to be joking, Sarah could only order the four beauties to get up and leave. After confirming again and again that Xu Cheng had no other requests, Sarah respectfully left.
After coming outside, Sarah was slightly absent-minded and fell into a mood of worrying about gains and losses.
It wasn't that she disagreed with Xu Cheng's joking proposal, but as a close confidant of the Goddess of Winter, she had sex with her guest on the first day. What would the Goddess of Winter think?
Even so, she still felt as if she had missed the most important opportunity in her life.
Xu Cheng stayed at the Winter Palace. The next day, a plane carrying Bai Yuelin, Ling Qi, and Divana arrived in Kherson and met Xu Cheng at the Winter Palace.
Both Bai Yuelin and Lin Jiao knew how powerful Xu Cheng was, and were not surprised that he formed an alliance with the Goddess of Winter.
Devana was different. After arriving, she kept staring at Xu Cheng with confused eyes.
While she was hiding in the room with her head covered, Xu Cheng silently formed an alliance with the Goddess of Winter, the only ruler in Eastern Europe. Moreover, it was an equal alliance, which meant the strength of both parties. and status are equal.
Devana even felt as if she was dreaming. What kind of monster was the traveler she hired casually?
Xu Cheng noticed Mao Mei's eyes: "How did you complete your deciphering work?"
Devana shook her head: "It's still early."
"Then if you have time to stand here in a daze, if you don't go back to work quickly, do you want me to lock you in a small dark room?"
Can't I take a break? Damn capitalists are not as ruthless as you.
Divana cursed in her heart, but did not dare to show any expression on her face. She could only nod in agreement, and then returned to the place assigned to her in the Winter Palace to continue the deciphering work.
Without Divana as an outsider, Xu Cheng could whisper to Bai Yuelin and Ringo, tell them the contents of his covenant with the Goddess of Winter, and ask for their opinions.
Bai Yuelin pondered: "There is indeed a bit of risk, but the benefits of working with the goddess far outweigh the risks, and it is completely worth the risk."
Seeing Bai Yuelin's determination, Xu Cheng asked, "Do you know the Goddess of Winter very well?"
Bai Yuelin smiled: "Don't forget, I have a cooperative relationship with the goddess now. Before we cooperated, I had already carefully investigated the deeds of the goddess of winter."
Before the goddess of winter invited her to cooperate, Bai Yuelin did not agree immediately. Instead, she conducted a long and careful investigation and collected many myths and legends related to the goddess.
Although these legends are placed on her head without permission, they also reflect her acting style to a certain extent.
If it were a cruel god, people would never attach legends about kindness or justice to her.
There are many legends about the goddess of winter, and they vary from place to place. In some places, she is in charge of the cold winter and is a stern goddess. In other places, she is the god of justice and likes to use wind. Snow punishes the wicked.
Although there are many legends about the goddess, in these legends, the image of the Winter Goddess is almost always positive and righteous, and no evil deeds have been heard.
Moreover, the legends were all born before the Winter Goddess resurrected, so there is no possibility of her being spread by others.
From these legends, we can outline the behavior of the Goddess of Winter. She is a lawful and kind goddess. However, because she has mastered the power of ice and snow, most people think that she is very strict.
As for the governance of Kherson and most of Ukraine, the Winter Goddess can be called a benevolent monarch and is deeply loved by the people.
"A benevolent monarch?"
Xu Cheng did not expect Bai Yuelin to have such a high opinion of the Goddess of Winter.
"Is this considered high?"
Bai Yuelin said bluntly: "A kind god is a good thing for the people, but it is not a good word for the gods themselves."
Xu Cheng did not refute, because he also understood the truth - good people are bullied by others, and good horses are ridden by others. This point is also logical between gods and gods.
Although the gods have powerful enough power, they are also coveted by people like the Celestial Clan and Xu Fu.
If you are not careful, you may be like Amaterasu, having your power taken away and falling from the position of god.
In the next few days, Xu Cheng and others lived in the Winter Palace, and would chat with the Goddess of Winter every day to enhance their understanding.
Devana is like a hard-pressed worker. Apart from eating and sleeping every day, she is immersed in deciphering work. Fortunately, the Goddess of Winter has hired a few archaeologists to help. Otherwise, she would have died suddenly at the work table sooner or later. superior.
During this period, the Goddess of Winter also received some bad news.
She planted many moles among Zhidong's subordinates, and one mole brought news that the Celestial Clan had found Yekashenko's teacher.
Before his death, Yekashenko sent his research results to his teacher, an old professor in the field of archeology.
After the disaster, the whereabouts of the old professor with Yekashenko's research results were unknown. Both the Celestial Clan and the Goddess of Winter were looking for his whereabouts.
Now, the old professor has been successfully found by the Celestial Clan, and according to the news from the inner ghost, the old professor is still alive and has been deciphering the riddles left by Yekashenko.
This bad news immediately disrupted the plans of Xu Cheng and the Goddess of Winter.
Originally, they planned to go to the Tomb of Heroes to obtain the power of the God-Slayer, and then deal with Zhi Dong together.
Now that the Celestials will soon know the specific location of the Tomb of Heroes, they must change their plans.
"Is this the plan you spent two days preparing?"
The words of the Goddess of Winter were like a gust of cold wind, blowing the thick stack of plans in front of me.
She told Sarah the current predicament and asked her to formulate a feasible plan, which also meant to test these subordinates.
Sarah, with her think tank around her, spent two days preparing a thick stack of plans for the goddess, and it took half an hour to read them.
Sarah's face turned pale: "Sorry, I'll ask the people below to streamline it immediately."
"The problem is not that it is streamlined on paper, but that your plan is too cumbersome."
The Goddess of Winter lectured: "According to your plan, we need to execute one hundred and eighty-seven steps perfectly. If there is an error in every step, there will be at least several preparations later. It seems to be comprehensive, but in fact it is..."
She had good self-control and did not scold her for "a bunch of excuses".
Sarah stood there with sweat on her forehead, mentally recalling the eighteen generations of ancestors of those think tank members several times.
Xu Cheng and Bai Yuelin stood aside and watched the excitement, thinking that no wonder the goddess of winter gave people a harsh impression.
Although she has a gentle personality, once she becomes serious, the cold chill she unconsciously emits is like a knife cutting, which ordinary people simply cannot bear.
"Stop watching the fun, you two."
After this period of communication, the Goddess of Winter became familiar with Xu Cheng, and her words were not as polite as when they first met: "You guys should also make a plan."
"Isn't this simple?"
Xu Cheng motioned to Bai Yuelin who was standing aside: "Go and give the goddess a little shock."
Bai Yuelin glanced at him, then picked up the plan on the long table, took out the pen he carried with him, and started drawing on it.
In less than a minute, she sketched a picture on paper.
Sarah looked up quietly and found a painting of a man sitting by the river fishing.
What does it mean?
When she was confused, the Goddess of Winter was very satisfied after reading the painting: "It's a good plan, almost what I had in mind."
She also did not forget to educate her cronies: "Planning needs to be detailed, and in the face of rapidly changing things, the combat plan should be as simple as possible."
Sarah quickly expressed that she had learned the lesson, but she still couldn't figure out what kind of plan this fishing was?
Xu Cheng looked at the painting that Bai Yuelin had sketched, with a look of satisfaction on the surface, and pinched her butt hard with his hands below.
Bai Yuelin's painting not only provides a simple plan to the goddess of winter, but also blatantly mocks Xu Cheng, an old fisherman, who likes fishing when he has nothing to do.
After formulating the plan, the next step is to see when Divana can decipher the puzzle left by Yekashenko.
The later the time goes by, the more passive they become.
Fortunately, Divana lived up to her trust, and with the help of several archaeologists hired by the Goddess of Winter, she successfully deciphered the puzzle and found out the specific location of the Hero's Tomb.
The location is in Ukraine, at the junction of the Sumui and Chernigov continents, and right in the middle of the areas ruled by the Goddess of Winter and the Celestial Clan, a neutral zone where nothing is left to chance.
The Celestial Clan will find this location at any time. Without further delay, Xu Cheng is ready to set off immediately.
Devana shamelessly wanted to go with them, and the reason was very valid - although the specific location of the Tomb of Heroes had been found, the door to the Tomb of Heroes was now closed. Only she could decipher the words on the door and open the door.
Xu Cheng had no choice but to take her with him. In order for the fishing plan to be implemented smoothly, Bai Yuelin and Ringo were also indispensable.
So with three burdens, Xu Cheng had to give up traveling with the body of the God of Thunder, and instead took a transport plane and set off for Sumeizhou.
