"Is this Diana's deer? But why didn't I sense it?"
A distant voice answered from a place of ignorance. It was a steady female voice with a divine resonance:
"Because Lady Diana is the god of everything in the wilderness. My existence is far above yours, little girl."
"Speak! Sorry. Sorry, I always thought you were Mr. Deer."
"It doesn't matter, son of the forest. If I cared about your offense, you would have turned into soil like a dead branch."
Bai Lu no longer looked at her, but walked towards Shangluo and Apollonia.
She slightly bent her knees toward the front: "Welcome to Lady Diana's empty temple. Welcome you, and Lady Apollonia."
She placed Shangluo in front of Apollonia, which surprised Shangluo.
"you mean?"
"Ms. Apollonia is your subordinate, isn't she? So you should be in front." Starry eyes stared at Shangluo, making him slightly uneasy.
"Are you talking to me? Or are you talking to the future or past 'me'? Or are you talking to the God-King who has not yet been born?"
"It's all the same, my lord. In the spirit world, time has no meaning."
"The Riddler is really annoying, and so is the Riddler."
"Please forgive me for being rude. But according to your words: eliminating uncertainty is a burden for me. Because the language of spirits is inherently different from human language. In order for you to understand, I have tried to be as concise as possible. I received the news. In short, your arrival is very important."
"What about the other routes?"
The white deer was obviously stunned for a moment, and even its antlers were trembling.
"Sorry, please leave a message: You can tear down other trees, but please don't tear down the cypress tree anymore. The cypress tree is Lady Diana's sacred tree. She will be angry when she returns to the palace. If you can, please use your hands immediately I don’t know what kind of magic prop is the multi-functional sword on the bed, and create a sympathetic link with them. Please.”
"Okay, wait a minute."
He called Han Xingzhi. As before, Han Xingzhi seemed to be surprisingly free and not busy at all. He agreed immediately and began to convey the message.
"Is this all right?" Shangluo put down the phone.
"Thank you for your understanding." Bai Lu knelt down again, "Cypress trees are very important to us, really important. Because the forest king must at least have a forest before he can be called the forest king. If your friend continues to demolish it, the forest will be gone. . And please tell your friends coming from the north: Don’t scatter coins randomly in the forest. The face value of drachmas is very high, and it will take us a long time to metabolize the drachmas he scatters.”
"Huh? Do you want me to make a call?"
"No, he has already spread the word. The transaction has been completed. Of course I cannot interfere with the transaction guaranteed by Helios. But please don't do this next time. Go and spread the money elsewhere."
"Um, okay, okay." After saying this, Shangluo felt a little bit regretful. The four people came in not as if they were on a mission, but as if they were here to cause trouble. Everything that should be done and shouldn't be done was done.
"So." He asked Bai Lu, "Ms. Lu, do you have any advice for me now that you are here?"
"I did not intend to appear. Now that the throne is vacant, I have no intention of intervening in the war in the wilderness. The King of the Forest is the custodian of the throne, and it is appropriate for a noble person like you to take charge of it. The Romans cannot bear it. It’s long past time for someone else to carry this heavy burden.”
"So, you were the one who brought me in before?"
"The deer is a symbol of kingship in the wilderness." The white deer raised its antlers. "The Romans desecrated the golden branch ceremony again and again. They did not really crown them, but broke off the golden branches and left. If they think the forest is a human farm, You can take whatever you want, but that would be a big mistake. There must be a noble forest king to complete the ceremony. A coward who dares not wear a crown is not worthy to be the keeper of the golden branch. Therefore, I chose you. Your noble lord."
"Okay, I knew it wasn't that simple."
"Of course, I don't actually need to show up." Bai Lu blinked, "I am not a clay statue of a god, I am the guardian of the sacred forest, Diana's deer. Or as the fox said, I am the landlord here. You My friends were too noisy, and letting them continue to make noise would cause the roof beams to collapse, so I, the landlord, had to show up in advance and ask them to abide by the rules."
"I think they'll stop, they're good kids."
"Of course. It is precisely because they are children and children have no taboos that I asked you to persuade them instead of directly letting the forest retaliate against them."
"Does the matter about the Great Elf of Yongquan need to be stopped?"
"That has nothing to do with the temple." White Deer replied, "The holy hunting god does not need those miserable sword dancers to serve. The temple here is to protect humans in the wilderness, not to harm humans. Let them suffer. The reason is precisely the karma of the Romans. All of this is the karma of the Romans. As an individual, Karin is an innocent victim. But as a whole, the Romans must pay the price for betrayal. So all the tragedy here Hi, it has nothing to do with me. That’s not fair, is it?”
"Indeed."
"But my duty is to protect the sacred forest. Fairness and justice have nothing to do with the deer, only the king. So if you think Karin is innocent, then come and pardon her. This is the authority of the king."
Shangluo nodded: "I will do this, but before that, I have to clear up a doubt - Titus, my guide on this trip, told me not to trust any living being except Helios. So, Should I trust you?"
"Giving up the gems in your hands and chasing shadows in the water will often lead to nothing. Since you have the oracle of Apollo, why do you believe in the contract of Helios?"
【Hey~】
Bai Lu bowed slightly and added the second half of the sentence:
"There is no doubt that Lord Apollo is closer to fate itself than Helios. Although she usually doesn't know what she is talking about."
【Hey Hey hey! The second half of the sentence is redundant! 】
"Okay." Shangluo nodded, "I trust your words. And you don't seem to need to lie to me? You didn't change my decision, you just strengthened my actions."
"Wise opinion - 'Know thyself', this is the motto engraved at the entrance to the Oracle of Delphi. As the name suggests, it specializes in the production of 'correct and useless riddles'. Although Lord Apollo is closer to fate itself, In the end, it is up to humans themselves to solve human problems.”
【Are you done yet? Don't make trouble, okay? Is this what a deer is supposed to do! 】
"The God of Hunting uses arrows to hit vital points. It is the deer's duty to lead hunters to glory, and it is also the duty of the servants of the God of Hunting." White Deer replied calmly, "Then, do what you should do, the temple stands brave Be on the side of the hunter and witness your story, witness your heroic tour. In this heroic tour, the servants of the Hunting God will hunt the 'wilderness' with you."
