Two apostles and a lizard man rode a flying magic carpet through the sea of clouds in the sky. They flew for an unknown length of time, only to see that the original blue sky and white clouds gradually turned into darkness and dense stars.
Finally, they came to a seaside port city.
This place once belonged to the Char Territory, but is now called the Char Province, and the name of the port is Blue River Port. As you can tell from the name, this is an outlet to the sea, with a river named Blue River.
It is said that when the moon rises, the river will turn blue, and the entire river will become a blue ribbon due to the moonlight.
The flying magic carpet fell into the city in the quiet night and stopped in front of a colorful house next to the river that looked a little strange. “Here we are.” “This is it.”
Oran came down with Sukob and came to the house.
Olan climbed a few steps, straightened his clothes, and then knocked on the door with a very solemn expression. “Dong dong dong!
It wasn't until the flying magic carpet stopped in front of the house and Olan personally knocked on the door of the house that Anu finally focused his attention and discovered what was special about it.
The lizard-man stood under the door and steps, looking up at it. "This room..."
"How could it be like this?" The colorful house looks small and is located in the middle of a sea of red flowers.
You can't tell what kind of material it is made of. The colors are so bright and full that they don't look like human beings. There is a huge wheel spinning around behind the house, like a large clockwork.
This is the Magic Wheel House, the miracle tool of the Scarlet Goddess Vivien.
However, such a strange house and a sea of flowers were placed in front of Anu, but Anu's eyes and intuition kept passing them by, as if it was an ordinary house and the sea of flowers did not exist from beginning to end.
This feeling is so strange. It is obviously an object that does not belong to the human world. Its appearance should attract everyone's attention. But a feeling is telling you that it belongs to the human world, it is very ordinary, it is very inconspicuous, and you don’t need to pay attention to it. And if you want to notice this strange sense of conflict, you must have at least apostle-level power. Anu looked around again. "The Cup of Blood Mist." Biquku
He still recognizes the Cup of Blood Mist, and all this proves that this is where the Scarlet Goddess is. Sukob knows how Anu feels and at the same time tells him the reason why it is like this.
He pointed to the faint mist emanating from the sea of flowers: "The aroma and mist emitted by the Cup of Blood Mist can make people lose themselves. Wisdom and authority also have the power to achieve this effect. Initially, the power of illusion originated from the Cup of the Sun.
The Cup of Blood Mist and the Cup of Desire are divine blood variants of the Cup of the Sun, and the various illusions mastered by the Wisdom Seeds were all initially performed using the Cup of the Sun. Then he continued, "When apostles and gods walk in the world, they will use power to isolate themselves from the world, so that mortals cannot pay attention to them." After all, the power of apostles and myths has transcended the realm of mortals, and sometimes they still need to be separated from mortals. Create a boundary. "Not just to avoid trouble, but also to protect mortals." Anu knew that he was one of the mortals who needed to be protected and avoided. After waiting for a while, the door of the Magic Wheel House finally opened.
Sukob and his party immediately walked inside, but as soon as they entered, darkness swallowed them up. In an instant, the world was spinning.
A powerful force pulled them into a passage, and the three of them continued upwards as if they were caught in a tornado, and finally came to an unknown territory. As if ignoring gravity and rotation, Sukob and Oran just stopped in a standing position as soon as the suction stopped. But Anu was different, he fell to the ground.
After getting up vigorously, Anu swayed his head a few times. "This..." "This is inside the house"
"Why is there such a big... big bang in this house?"
He stuttered as he spoke, and then fell to the ground again and didn't get up for a long time. But in his confusion, Anu also roughly saw the surrounding situation clearly.
This is the inside of a huge crystal composed of countless rhombus surfaces. A figure can be seen on each rhombus surface. Various magical seeds shuttle through the mirror like elves, jumping like firelight.
This is definitely not the inside of a room or house.
Sukob knew what was happening as soon as he was sucked into the darkness: "We just passed through the passage of the dream world?" Oran looked around: "Yes, but this is not like the Kingdom of Blood. But it is obvious that this It is not the kingdom of the Scarlet Goddess, but belongs to another myth.
The two of them also roughly guessed who it was, it was the myth who had ascended the throne mentioned by Iva, the God of Desire and Alchemy.
2012
This is the dream world, the land of magical magic with the mythical tool Eye of True Knowledge. At the end of the country, a tall figure waved to the three of them.
In an instant, the scene around the three people continued to lengthen, and the small dots in the distance continued to enlarge. They came to the deepest part of the Kingdom of God. Two mythical shadows, one real and one imaginary, stood overlooking them from a high place. Behind the two shadows, a giant cup of blood mist grew. The cup of blood mist is wrapped in something, and it makes a beating sound like a heart. Anu raised his head and looked over. I saw two gods standing side by side.
One has red hair and one has blue hair; one looks very mature and the other looks much younger. The red-haired goddess stood with her feet on the ground, her eyes bright and majestic.
The blue-haired god was suspended in the air with his eyes closed, surrounded by ice crystals or snow-like things. Sukobu stepped forward and bowed, "Sukobu has seen the two gods, and I greet you on behalf of the God of Truth and Knowledge." Oran stood there: "Olan has seen the goddess, and God Iva asked me to greet you. Say hello."
Both Sukobu and Olan had seen the Scarlet Goddess before. Sukobu witnessed the Scarlet Goddess knocking Xiao into the abyss during the divine battle in Meiya City, while Olan followed Chu. St. Raphael, the creature fairy, met this deity.
Anu also followed suit and followed Olan's example, but his movements were a little stiff. “Anu has seen two goddesses.
As for greetings, he didn't know if Master Kurmis asked him to greet him.
He didn't even know whether he should say it and be polite, or whether he should just keep it like this. After hesitating for a while, he didn't even spit out the last half of the words. After the scarlet goddess pulled the three of them in front of her, she turned around again, "Why did you come to see me?"
The scarlet goddess approached the huge cup of blood mist, and waves of powerful life force revolved around the cup of blood mist, urging the life forms inside to take shape. The light flows, and a shadow is faintly revealed inside. “Gudong!” “Gudong!”
The sounds overlapped like ocean waves, echoing in the Kingdom of God, and at the same time, they were accompanied by pressure like mountains and seas. That is the rhythm of life, and it is also the will of the wise reincarnation. No one knew what it was and didn't dare to ask. At this time, Sukob was the first to speak out their purpose of coming and the agreement about the contract between the gods. They expressed the hope that the Scarlet Goddess could also participate and open Suinhall's boundaries to the outside world.
"Not only Suinhor, but the King's Court of Ten Thousand Snakes, the White Tower Alliance, and all the snake-people countries will open their borders together to welcome the arrival of a new era." Originally, all attention was focused on the fishy things in the Cup of Blood Mist. The Red Goddess finally became serious at this time and lowered her gaze towards the three of them. "Sign the contract of the gods. Sukob and Oran immediately felt a lot of pressure. They didn't know how the god would respond next. The scarlet goddess did not say yes or no, but asked. "How to sign the contract? "
"Sukob, you are the future God of Contracts and Codes. Do you think your contracts and codes can restrain the gods?
Sukob immediately became hesitant, let alone the robe now, even if he really became a myth, he probably would not be able to truly restrain the gods. Ordinary oaths and contracts have no meaning to gods. The Scarlet Goddess proposed another kind of oath: "Oath with the Crown of Wisdom?" This kind of oath is extremely powerful, and it is a bit too strong.
"Don't you think that if the gods swear an oath to the supreme Crown of Wisdom, the Crown of Wisdom will respond?"
"That is the agreement between the wise God King and the Lord of Eternal Creator, the power to protect and guide all intelligent races. In front of him, all intelligent species are just intelligent species." No matter you are a god or a mortal, Oran In front of him, he said respectfully.
"It's just an agreement, a verbal agreement from the gods." Goddess Lihong smiled: "Then even if such a contract is signed, what ability do you have to restrain the gods?" "What can you do to make it happen?" Gods in the world are in awe, so why do other gods believe that this agreement will go ahead as scheduled. At this time, the scarlet goddess added another sentence. "Moreover.
"If there really is a strong constraint that can be imposed on the gods and cannot be violated, would the gods really be willing to sign it?" "Would the gods really be willing to put such a shackles on themselves? , and will this shackles become a weakness that can be exploited in the future?
?At this time, both Sukob and Oran fell silent. Their ideas were good and had God's permission.
But the gods also saw some problems, but they didn't say it in front of them. Maybe they knew the problem and just waited for the two of them to solve it as a test. But now, the scarlet goddess has made it clear.
The scarlet goddess looked a little frustrated at the two of them, and instead of attacking them, she told them a path. "There is a method. If you can do it, the contract of the gods can be successfully concluded." The two people immediately couldn't help but ask: "Goddess, please tell me what method it is?" There was a hint of meaning in the eyes of the scarlet goddess. An unknown smile told these two gods to pre-select. "Go and find the stone carving of "The King's Descent"."
"Use it as a witness to the contract between the gods and swear an oath to it."
"The moment you actually get the royal blood stone carving is when the contract between the gods is concluded." The two of them were stunned for a moment.
Although they had obtained the Dream Vine Leaves from the Fairy of the Lake, the Barter, their authority did not qualify them to see the stone carvings of "The Bloodline of Kings".
Therefore, neither of them knew what royal power was or what blood descendants were.
But I can understand the word "stone carving". It is probably something carved on some kind of stone.
They had never heard of the stone carvings of "Descent of Throne". The picture that was famous among the snake people was "The Lost Kingdom" and was left by the Three-Leaf Symbiote. Sukobu: "Goddess!" "What is the Royal Bloodstone Carving?" "Is that a very powerful prop, an artifact?" Oran asked: "Is this useful?"
The scarlet goddess glanced at the two people and knew that they did not know the news about the stone carvings of "Descent of Royal Power" from their respective gods. “It was just a slate.
"It is engraved with the oldest myth, the original myth of the intelligent species.
"Describing all the beginnings and origins, that stone slab is engraved with the original secret of the wisdom species. "The kingship of wisdom, the beginning of myth, the beginning and end of our origin and birth power. “Everything comes from that.
"The gods in the world have the blood flowed by the king, and they have the power given by the god king." No one dares to violate the oath sworn in front of the ancient god king and god king and son as a witness. "
The scarlet goddess said more bluntly, "Whoever can get that stone slab will know the secret of the origin of wisdom and the secret of the giant god Ruhe." "But if you get it, don't look at it, let alone try in vain. Knowing the secret above. Sukob and Oran looked at each other and said, "Why?"
Scarlet Goddess: "Because you will die, at least until you become gods, you cannot be seen. Sukobu and Oran are increasingly certain that the stone slab is an artifact. What they don't know is that the powerful one is not Slate, but the picture carved on the slate. The scarlet goddess said nothing more.
The scarlet goddess glanced at Sukob carefully and said something to it. "Ask your god Asai, he may have a way to get this stone slab." The Royal Bloodstone is carved in the hands of the goblin, but getting it requires another stone slab as a price.
But after investigating the other slate for so long, the scarlet goddess still has no whereabouts, but since the goblin said she still exists, it must exist. But in the process of searching and recalling, the Scarlet Goddess probably also had some guesses. That slate is either in Asai's hands.
Or, in the hands of another guy who betrayed the Temple of Truth. Sukob nodded. He had too many doubts that needed to be answered. Although Asai is asleep, the Door of Truth is still there, and so is Borick. Everything the god Asai knew, Borik also knew.
At least this trip was not in vain. It can be said that the scarlet goddess agreed. Although she made a request that seemed difficult to complete, it seemed that she still had the intention to conclude a contract.
"The scarlet goddess.
"Thank you for your guidance. We will visit you again next time." From the beginning to the end, Anu stood behind as a little transparent, without even saying a word. In other words, he came here and heard the conversation between Sukob, Oran and the Scarlet Goddess, and then told it to Kurmis. This was the meaning of his coming here. However, Anu was preparing to follow Sukob and the Scarlet Goddess. When Oran left together, the scarlet goddess at the top of the Kingdom of God suddenly said something. "Servant of Kurmis, lizardman Anu. "You stay for a while, I have some questions to ask you. Sukob and Oran looked at each other, then nodded to Anu. "Then we'll leave first."
The two of them knew that God left Anu behind in the end. There must be some issues that he wanted to discuss alone and he didn't want them to know. The kingdom of magic.
Sukob and Oran left, leaving him behind.
Anu looked at the gods above and looked particularly nervous. He had been following the other two apostles before and it was better to hide behind them. Now, the pressure of facing the gods directly was naturally unspeakable.
Although Kurmis is said to be a preparatory god, there is still a difference between him and a real god. Hmm... It's probably only tens of millions of reincarnations away, and there's still an era to go. Anu's mind turned over and over again, wondering why the goddess specifically left him as a lizard man behind? "Did I just do something rude?"
“No, the gods don’t care what I do, it should be Lord Kormis’s business.
"The Scarlet Goddess must have something that she wants me to bring to Master Kurmis. That must be the case." Anu confirmed, then picked up his head and wanted to say something. He had already prepared his words and titles, but at this moment, a word from the Scarlet Goddess disrupted his entire plan. "I heard that you got a miraculous item. This is why the scarlet goddess kept him.
Miracle props are not easy to obtain. Each one has its own owner, and it will not easily fall into the hands of people of this era. For example, Elena's compass, Ray's aircraft, and Vivien's magic wheel house. Everything symbolizes their past.
The scarlet goddess really couldn't figure out where Anu got the miraculous item. Anu: "Miracle item?"
After thinking for a while, Anu probably understood that what the scarlet goddess was talking about was a woven bag of hope. Anu did not dare to hide it, but said, "There is indeed one thing, which was given to me by a legendary fairy." The scarlet goddess asked; "Fairy? Can you tell me about the situation at that time? Anu He thought about it carefully, and then recounted the situation at that time. "The ghoul king Akmanmon attacked our village and wanted to know the power and secrets mastered by Lord Kurmis. "
"Lord Kormis asked me to go to the hut by the Moonlight Jungle and destroy all the information about the Eye of Abnormality and Brown Ball Vine experiments." At that time.
"I was a little tired after taking care of the cabin, and I fell asleep without realizing it." As he spoke, Anu's eyes fell into complete memories, recalling that indescribably beautiful dream. "In my dream, I saw a dreamy river above my head, and further away, the sacred sun stretched its edges." Biquku
"I have never seen such a sun. It is so warm that it makes people feel like they are soaking in spring water. It even reminded me of the best time in my childhood for a moment. "I also saw a dreamy star river, with an indescribable feeling. The place is really heavy and vicissitudes of life. The scarlet goddess looked at Anu, her whole body seemed to be stunned.
She was confirming whether what the lizard man in front of her said was true or false; whether she had actually seen him before or whether he was just talking nonsense. But she immediately confirmed that what the other party said was true, because the other party was not even qualified to know these records. If Anu knows, then he must have seen it.
Even if I haven't actually seen it, I just dreamed of it. The scarlet goddess suddenly interrupted Anu's words and said with a somewhat complicated look. "That's not the Galaxy." After a pause, the scarlet goddess continued. "That's the dream sea of stars." That sun is not the sun, but the supreme artifact of dreams, the supreme authority. "That's the Cup of God." "Anu: "The Cup of God"
The Scarlet Goddess told Anu: "The artifact is equivalent to the mother snail of all things, the source of all laws and curse seals."
The scarlet goddess lowered her gaze and spoke as if she had experienced it. "In a sense, it's because there is no God's Cup, no curse seal and no laws." "Civilization will fall into eternal darkness. Anu seemed to understand, but in fact he didn't understand much at all.
It's like a man telling a night frog in the grass that every star in the sky is a star, and the distance from us is light years. He knew that light years were far away, but he did not know how far away; he knew that the stars were very different, but he did not know that the stars were the sun.
Anu was shouting in his heart at this moment, "Why is the sun an artifact?" An artifact like the mother snail of all things must be an extraordinary artifact, right? The scarlet goddess looked at Anu's astonished expression and let out a sigh. "Go on!" What else did you see behind? Anu could only continue, "I saw a shadow walking from the sun, and the light and shadow she emitted merged with the sun."
Anu tried his best to think back, but he couldn't recall the appearance of the other party. In other words, he didn't even remember the appearance of the other party in the first place.
Didn't see the other party's appearance. "So I asked her who she was?" "She seemed to say that a long time ago people called her the messenger of the Creator." Now too, she is also the guardian of the Dream World and the Kingdom of Creation, and the administrator of the Cup of God.
Anu tried hard to recall, but did not notice that the scarlet goddess above suddenly took a few steps forward, looking excited. Anu was still immersed in the scene of that dream, and suddenly realized it at this moment. "Yes, she said something about the Cup of God, too," I thought. ""The messenger of the Creator's Kingdom must be a goblin.
Just as he was about to say something to the scarlet goddess, he found that the other party had already walked down from above and was standing in front of him.
Scarlet looked at Anu carefully, looked at these ugly lizard men, and watched him lower his head in confusion. "Did...did I say something wrong?" He may not be able to understand what he saw and what great existence he saw. The scarlet goddess looked at him carefully: "Fairy?"
The scarlet goddess wanted to laugh, but she could only keep shaking her head. Her laughter ranged from bitter laughter to dumbfounding. "That's not a dream goblin." Anu the lizardman. "
"That is the oldest god, one of the original gods who brought hope and light to the world." "The supreme god, the master of dreams."
Vivien discovered that the lizard man in front of her knew nothing, but had experienced things that no one could hope to achieve.
Lizardman Anu: "The Lord of Dreams? The main god of the Temple of Miracles? Anu finally understood something, but his understanding was almost the same as not understanding to Vivien. Vivien already knew what she wanted to know, Although the result far exceeded her expectations.
She thought that the lizard man had received a legacy from the previous era, but she did not expect that Anu had actually received a gift from the supreme god. "Near Moonlight Jungle."
But she didn't continue the topic and said to Anu. She turned around and returned to the huge cup of blood mist. She was a little depressed at first, but gradually she smiled.
“Unexpectedly, God is here in Suinhall.”
The scarlet goddess left in one step, muttering something in her mouth. Anu doesn't know who the god the scarlet goddess is talking about is. Those gods who exist are too far away from him. All he can know is his own world.
He has his own worries, and his mind is filled with things about himself, the lizard, and the future.
So he hesitated for a long time, and finally took advantage of this opportunity to finally meet the gods and asked a question that he was very concerned about recently. "Great goddess!
"I want to ask you a question. Vivien told him: "You can ask. "Anu organized his words and then spoke.
"You are enlightened. You are willing to make a contract with the gods and make concessions for the future of Suinhor and all mortals." "But why do your followers, your servants, not inherit your will?"
"For example, Munro, the leader of your shepherds on earth, why doesn't he completely follow your will?"
"Everything he did may be to hinder this matter." The scarlet goddess does not seem to know everything, or she already knows everything.
The god told Anu in a calm tone, "Everyone sits in a different position, everyone stands at a different height, and everyone is driven by different desires and interests." "Whether it is an intelligent species or a beast, no matter it is Mortals and gods." So it is. "
"I can't demand that every Suinhor person is perfect, let alone do it this way; I can't demand that every believer be perfect and have no desires, because I myself have never been perfect, and what I have done Everything also has a purpose.”
"Munro has unified all the temples and divine authority. He is completing the mission given to him by the times and me. Anu opened his mouth: "But...but...don't you think he did something wrong?" What he is doing now Everything you do goes against the future you expect?"
The scarlet goddess turned her head and looked at Anu, who still looked very childish. "From his position, he didn't do anything wrong. "At this point in time, he didn't do anything wrong either. ,
"As the king of Suinhor, the most important thing is that Morabi can integrate the entire kingdom and govern the country well."
As a divine attendant of the temple, Munro fulfilled his duties and was pious enough. Even if he thought he was pious, this was enough. "At least, he fulfilled the role he should play in his own era."
"As for the contract of the gods, that is the mission and story of the next era. What does it have to do with him? Anu raised his head, and he suddenly understood the distance between himself and the gods. It was not just the gap in strength, but also the gap in power. It lies in the distance above time. The scarlet goddess looked at it and said: "Whether it is Morabi or Monroe. ""They are exercising their own justice and shouting their own ideals. "They are believers and kings, but they are also people driven by desire.
"It's not them who distinguish right from wrong, it's them who sit in the positions of spokespersons for divine power and royal power respectively, and what you follow is King Morabi, who represents the royal power.
"As for me, right and wrong are their meaning and responsibility above the times, and their historical responsibility." The scarlet goddess finally looked at Anu and asked a question that pointed directly to his heart. "Anu!"
"If you were a priest of the Fire Protection Temple, would you still think Morabi was wrong?"
"If for the snake people, killing all the lizard people can save thousands of snake people and benefit some snake people, then wouldn't it be just to kill you?" Anu immediately raised his voice. Hu: "How is this possible? How can this be just?" But the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.
Anu even suddenly thought of the ghouls and what the King of Ghouls, Akmenmon II, said before he was sealed. "You're next."
The fluctuations in his heart became more intense, and he couldn't help but shake his head. "How can a ghoul be considered a human being? "How can a ghoul compare with us? We are originally snake people, we were once snake people. Scarlet Goddess: "The right and wrong you yearn for are completely different from the right and wrong of others."
Anu was inexplicably shocked. He felt like something was collapsing before his eyes, and he seemed to have seen a whole new world.
“Are gods also driven by desire?
"Do gods also have their own right and wrong?" Gods also have their own standpoints. "Red Goddess: "Of course. "
"The God of Demonic Spirits represents the Demonic Spirit clan, the God of Desire represents the alchemist, and the God of Truth and Knowledge represents the Witch Spirits." The Scarlet Goddess herself represents the Temple of Truth and the Trifoliate People. She sits on He is in the position of the sage of truth.
What she represents is only the justice of the Sanye people and the inheritance of Xiinsai.
The Scarlet Goddess did not hide these things, let alone use lies to deceive a lizard man, but these words were still too heavy for Anu. Anu stood under the realm of divine magic, looking up at the gods above.
The boundaries between justice and evil, the dialectic between right and wrong, everything he thought was right. It all seemed to collapse in an instant.
He suddenly thought of a question: "Then who can represent the lizard people? Who is willing to travel with the lizard people?" In the end, Anu left the land of magic with shock, confusion, and doubt.
Blue River Port.
On the Blue River, where the water was flowing quietly, Vivien returned from the dream world to the Magic Wheel House. She opened the window and looked into the distance.
She walked out of the Deep Sea Blood Kingdom not long ago and seemed to know where to go next. "Is it over there?" Moonlight Jungle. "
Vivien had known for a long time that the Creator God Yinsai had entered the world. The Moon of God hanging outside the sky and hidden behind the scenes of the world proved all this.
She knew that God Yinsai was in this world, but she never knew where to look for it. And now, she knew the answer from Anu.
The necklace in her hand and the mythical prop Eye of True Knowledge suddenly emitted light, and a figure appeared behind Vivien. Ghost glanced at her, as if asking Vivien where she was going. Vivien said to the memory ghost: "Do you still remember when we were children?" The ghost did not answer, but Vivien was talking to herself. "You were seriously injured and you lost a lot of blood. "Lester said you were going to die, and I was really scared, I was really scared. "I push you, chasing the legendary ship passing through the sky, looking for the legendary witch doctor." "We searched for a long time, really for a long time, but we couldn't find it."
"I thought there was really no other way but to pray to the gods." Jia Wen tried hard to recall everything. "I don't remember the next thing. I just remember that you are better." The scarlet goddess looked behind her and faced Ghost said with a smile. "Perhaps we have really seen the supreme god." Ghost did not answer, but Vivien was talking to herself.
"The ghost didn't say anything, and always looked like it was floating in the air, with snowflakes dancing wherever it went.
But at this time, the Magic Wheel House started to move and headed towards the north. The scarlet goddess pulled Ghost to her side, and the two of them looked out the window together.
"Let's go!" "Let's go together.
"To once again chase the legendary vehicle of the gods that travels through the sea of clouds, to find the supreme god in the myth."
