Looking at the backs of this large group of people leaving, Irelles's heart collapsed.
If it weren't for the fact that the words in her heart were too rude and inconsistent with Irelles' usual style, she would have wanted to say something mmp, but she didn't know whether to say it or not? Why don't you treat Jin Shu instead of doing business? Why can the priests of Hircine live in the temple of Genaleth without violating the rules?
When things have developed to this extent, there is no need to go back and report Balgruuf - when the "Baron of Whiterun City" dragon slayer Yako Busujima, all the core members of the Comrades and the priest of Genales Temple - this Whiterun Three representatives of the city appeared on the battlefield of Falkreath at the same time. The position of Whiterun City no longer needed to be explained... No one believed it even if it was explained! Even when God comes, I can’t explain it!
Not to mention there is also the issue of morale.
If the soldiers could still barely draw their swords against the legendary Dragonborn under the orders of the Great One... then when the new goddess Duskstar of Whiterun City stood opposite, that was the last thing on the camel's back. It is not impossible to even trigger a mutiny among soldiers.
So Irelles, who was far more politically savvy than Busujima Yako, said to her in frustration, "You won, there is no need to continue blocking the city gate and affecting traffic," and then turned around and left. She had to go back and discuss it with the old man as soon as possible. This matter was difficult!
But looking at Busushima Yako’s words, why don’t we also rebel against the revolution?
The situation is like a fog, no one can see clearly...
Since Duskstar saved the Golden Tree - it is the symbol of the main temple of Genales in Whiterun City and the link between the goddess and the world - Genales, the Holy Spirit God of Air, acquiesced to Duskstar and her priests. battlefield. As for whether the goddess herself is on Hircine's side, it is actually not yet known.
Similarly, Anne led the vigilantes to defeat the vampires, killing them until they finally retreated to an island to survive! Her dedication was also recognized by Standal, the God of Holy Spirit and Mercy, and she was given the acquiescence to lead the Vigilant Knights to help defend Falkreath! As for the position of the gods themselves, it is equally unclear.
Ding Mumu... The happy thing about Ding Mumu is that the person she deals with is not a god but an emperor.
When she put a dagger on Titus Mede II's neck to shave him, the old emperor helplessly "succumbed" to her "power". Maid II swore that the Empire would never attack Falkreath through the Gray-White Pass. Not only that, the empire will also secretly support Falkreath with some ordnance supplies through the Gray and White Pass. However, the Emperor cannot interfere with Skyrim's military operations. There is no way, every province in the empire is almost equivalent to an independent kingdom.
The reason why Emperor Titus Meder II dared to agree to Ding Mumu was that although the Holy Spirits enshrined in the empire had chosen sides, Akatosh, the real main god of the empire, had not yet sent down the oracle, so of course he could not move at this time - —What if I make the wrong move?
What, you said that Talos, the founding emperor of the empire, has spoken, how dare the old emperor not listen? People who have read a little bit of the history of the empire have actually understood this for a long time, because the bloodline of Talos has been extinct! Apart from the name of the empire, the ruler of this country has nothing to do with Talos.
Mortals are groping in the fog and wandering in the fog, but they have no idea what is really happening in the world of Annihilation.
The world of Annihilation, the divine kingdom of Hircine.
Millions of believers are densely packed into a land of less than five square kilometers - there are only so many believers left in the Kingdom of God - even if the believers are only in the state of soul, this is crowded enough. In order to save space, some believers had to turn themselves translucent and float into the air.
However, the dome of the Kingdom of God, which once had no end at a glance, has now shrunk to the point where it is like a slightly higher roof on the first floor, which can be reached by raising your arms and jumping.
Although the Kingdom of God has shrunk so much, Hircine's throne is still placed safely, with a one-meter gap around it, and the five high priests still respectfully guard both sides of the throne. No soul simply sat on that chair, and no soul dared to float above the throne.
The narrow Kingdom of God is like a shriveled balloon filled with souls.
The once endless grassland disappeared, many prey disappeared, and even the wind, air, and water disappeared. There are only gray sky walls and gray ground. Hircine's favorite hunting music has not been played for a long time... The whole world is only left with a rapid "boom~boom~" loud sound!
With every sound, the entire Kingdom of God would tremble, and then the walls would "shrink" at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The believers used their hands in vain to support the walls and roofs of the Kingdom of God, but to no avail. Their power is too insignificant compared to God.
At this moment, outside the Kingdom of God, the four demon gods (Mora, Malacath, Dagon, and Mephala) who have declared war on Hircine are bombarding the Kingdom of God with their divine power! Day and night! A month later, it will be replaced by three Holy Spirits (Ulianos, Mara, Talos) to attack!
This goes on and on.
It seems that it is only a matter of time before Hircine's kingdom is destroyed and the throne is destroyed.
Initially, the mad god Sheogorath and the beautiful god Dibella helped Hircine's kingdom resist the attack. But after a while, Sheogorath, who was too exhausted, had to leave first. If he continues to help, he will have enemies and be in danger of destruction. As a god who had already offered her knee to Hircine, DiBella could only grit her teeth and persevere - until she understood that holding on would be death, and leaving and waiting for Hircine to come back would still be death. DiBella chose to leave. .
She had actually been betting that Akatosh, the Dragon of Time, would help, but she lost the bet and Akatosh chose to sit on the sidelines...
"It's the last one, what should we do?" In the kingdom of God, the five high priests touched their heads and discussed in a low voice. Countless believers around him were listening quietly. The key to the issue they discussed was the last divine crystal held in the hands of the high priest, which was golden and bright. "To replenish the walls of the Kingdom of God or to answer the prayers of believers, that is the question."
In the past three years, the number of believers has been declining, and without Hircine personally presiding over it, the income of the divine power has been greatly reduced; and the joint siege of several major demon gods and holy spirits has made this situation even worse! The high priests not only wanted to protect the Kingdom of God from being breached, but also responded to the believers' prayers for bread (which was the basis of Hircine's faith). The stored divine crystals were flowing away like an avalanche!
Finally, only the last piece is left...
"I, I choose to maintain my faith!" the leading high priest said solemnly, "Follow my Lord's instructions and vote on important decisions!"
There was no complicated delay in voting in modern society. The entire kingdom of God, including the five high priests and millions of believers, came to the conclusion in the blink of an eye - with an overwhelming advantage, they chose to use this divine crystal to continue to respond. Believers' request to maintain Hircine's faith!
"What about the Kingdom of God?" A believer asked timidly. It was a half-grown girl's soul. Because it was too crowded, half of her "body" had been squeezed into someone else's body.
And the Kingdom of God is still shrinking.
"I don't like Hircine!" The leading high priest walked to the throne. People thought he was going to answer a question, but they didn't know that he said something earth-shattering! "Of course... it's the Hircine of the past." He added, and the believers around him suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and some even laughed.
Yes, my Lord's changes three years ago were indeed a bit huge.
"I was once a skilled hunter who dedicated all my prey to my Lord, and my Lord also gave me divine grace. When I grew old and died, I came to the Kingdom of God with infinite gratitude to my Lord. I hope to sit next to my Lord and listen to his great adventures in the long history. I hope to sleep for a while by his campfire. I hope to serve my Lord a delicious roast with my own hands... But what awaits me , but turned into a plaything, and endless hunting and being killed...no rest! no sleep!
At that time, I hated him!
...But you all know that my Lord has changed. Just as we loved him, he lost the cruel and cold parts and he became like our father, our brother. He can happily laugh, curse and chat with us, no matter who we are; he can spin our past into absurd stories and tell them to the whole world. Not only are we not ashamed, we are also madly in love...
I love my Lord’s Kingdom. It has truly become like a big family. I don’t know when my Lord will come back, maybe next moment, maybe forever...but it doesn’t matter! Because our Lord has done everything for us, but what have we done for Him? "
The high priest's shadow gradually rose higher, and his voice spread to the entire Kingdom of God.
"Some people may think, what can we do? Our Lord has boundless divine power, but we...have nothing but faith. I want to say, you are wrong!"
The high priest's voice became louder and louder, and his illusory figure even began to glow.
"I actually still have my soul!"
From the shadow of the high priest, a golden flame suddenly ignited, and he actually sacrificed his soul to Hircine! Ignite the last trace of myself in the world! The flame used his soul as fuel, burning more and more fiercely! And the high priest in the flames smiled, seemingly unable to feel the slightest pain... As his shadow became lighter and lighter, the soul of the voluntary sacrifice gradually formed an extremely pure divine crystal!
There are no words.
The other four high priests floated up, and their bodies also began to gradually glow... Then one or two, and the souls of countless believers floated upwards, emitting light, like countless sky lanterns being released...
"Why bother? Why bother?" He said as a familiar figure suddenly appeared on Hircine's throne. "A bunch of fools riding horses!"
It's just that the sound is a bit awkward.
The big seal character "古" flew into the sky of the Kingdom of God, and turned into another seal character "Jin" - then the souls sacrificed and the shrinking Kingdom of God, as if going back in time, directly returned to the Three Kingdoms. Years ago...except for the disappearance of the divine crystals that had accumulated in the past, everything in the Kingdom of God reappeared yesterday in the blink of an eye!
It seems like it never disappears.
Outside the Kingdom of God, a sword light like a complaint flew up leisurely.
In the sky and on the earth, inside and outside Annihilation, a person's voice rang out.
"Don't listen to the sound of beating leaves in the forest, why not scream - and walk slowly. Bamboo sticks and mango shoes - lightness beats horses, a coop - mist and rain - let your life be the same!"
