What exactly does this "god" want to do?
This is the question that Gawain is most concerned about and worried about after confirming that Julu Amorn is really faking his death.
Obviously, Julu Amorn also knew very well what Gawain was nervous about.
"If I return to the sight of mortals, I will definitely bring a lot of excitement..." There was a smile in his words, and his huge eyes looked at Gawain calmly, "You What do you think about this? "
"To be honest, I don't really want you to leave here," Gawain said frankly, "nor do I want you to return to the sight of mortals - although Three thousand years have passed, but the heritage of the Druids is still there, and people who are full of religious restoration will be interested in the "return of the gods". Maybe some people will regain their belief in the god of nature, and some people may want to Using the name of the ancient god's return to cause some destruction is not what I want to see."
"Don't worry, this is not what I want to see either - I paid a huge price to break out of the cycle. I won’t return to the throne of God one day,” Amoen said with a chuckle, “So, you can rest assured.”
“I’ll try to rest assured.” Gawain sighed.
After all, we are facing a mysterious and powerful god. In many cases, whether we can rest assured is not up to him.
After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but look up and down at the God of Nature in front of him.
This huge and holy figure is being locked by a large number of restraint devices from the ancient Gondor era. Thick chains and rune pillars layer upon layer form a barrier that is still in operation today. There are also many shimmering, The fragments from the wreckage of battleships and space stations in the universe imprisoned the giant deer's body. Some of the fragments were floating around the latter, and some of the fragments penetrated deeply into the flesh and blood of the god.
This looked ferocious and terrifying, but it was difficult for Gawain to feel whether Amorn was in pain due to this from his tone or eyes.
"What? Do you want to help me lift these restrictions?" Amorn's voice rang in his mind, "Ah... they have indeed caused me huge trouble, especially these fragments, they Make me unable to move at all... If you are willing, you can help me remove the unimportant and particularly uncomfortable fragments."
Gawain raised his eyes and glanced at the god: " Do you think I would do that?"
"I don't think so - no reasonable person in your position would do that," Amoun said casually. There was no unpleasantness in his tone, "And I also suggest you not to do this - your will and body may be strong enough to withstand the impact of the gods' power, but those standing behind may not. The ancient and ancient barriers here can It can't stop my full power."
Gawain looked back slightly in the direction of the isolation barrier and saw Amber, Hetty and others standing there looking at this with concerned and worried expressions. Side, he waved over thereHe waved his hand and then turned back: "I am happy to accept your suggestion."
"This is best," Amorn said lightly, "If one day you really want or need to release my power , it is best to be fully prepared for protection...don't be as reckless as the first batch of humans who came here, they paid a lot of price."
What he said that year. A group of humans should be the builders of this rebellious fortress, the magisters who came here in the Age of Sparks of Gondor.
"It seems...you are ready to continue to 'hibernate' here," Gawain breathed out and said to Amorn, "I am very curious, are you waiting for something? ? Because you can't even move now and can only stay in place and pretend to be dead. It seems to me... meaningless."
"So I'm waiting for something meaningful to happen, such as a mortal. There is a possibility of some kind of earth-shaking change in the world, such as a complete and total end to that sad cycle. Unfortunately, I can't describe to you exactly how they will happen, but until that day comes, I will wait patiently. "
Gawain frowned slightly: "Even if you have been waiting for this for three thousand years?"
Amon said calmly: "I have just been waiting for a while."
"..." Gawain looked at the God of Nature. After a long time, he smiled and shook his head, "Indeed, three thousand years is just a blink of an eye... Well, you can continue to wait here, I I think it’s time for me to leave.”
“Let’s go slowly—I can’t stand up to see you off.”
“I appreciate your sense of humor,” Gawain was startled. Then he couldn't help laughing, "It turns out that gods are also capable of joking."
Then he took two steps back, but before turning around and leaving, he suddenly thought of something and asked Said: "By the way, there is one thing I still want to ask - what exactly is the Demonic Tide? Is its periodic arrival related to the gods?"
Amorn was silent for a few seconds. , seemed to be thinking, and then replied: "In a sense, it is just a natural phenomenon that is very scary to mortals... but it is not caused by gods."
"I Got it," Gawain nodded, "Thank you for your answer."
He turned around and walked in the direction he came from, while the giant deer Amorn lay quietly on his stomach. Between the confinement device and the debris, eyes cast like light stared at his back. In this way, he walked to the edge of the main building of the Disobedience Fortress and in front of the almost transparent protective barrier. Gawain turned around and took a look - from this distance, Amorn's body was still so huge that it was intimidating. , but it is no longer as breathtaking as a mountain.
He nodded to the other party and spoke - he believed that even at this distance, as long as he spoke, the "god" would definitely hear him: "Just now you said that maybe one day humans will Will start to fear nature again and replace reason with blind awe and fearand knowledge, thereby ushering in a new god of nature... Are you referring to events like the Demonic Tide that can trigger the end of civilization, and the loss of technology and knowledge leading to the birth of a new god? ”
Amorn’s voice indeed appeared in his mind again: “That is a possibility, but even if civilization continues to develop, new technologies and new knowledge continue to flow, blind awe may come back, New gods... may be born in the process of technological advancement. "
Gawain fell into a brief thought, and then with a thoughtful expression, he breathed out softly: "I understand... It seems that similar things have already happened in this world. It happened once. ”
He turned back and stepped into the shimmering protective barrier. The next second, Kamel injected magic power into the control mechanism of the barrier, and the entire energy shield instantly became more powerful than before. It solidified, and a sound of mechanical friction came from the roof and underground of the corridor - the ancient alloy protective wall slowly closed under the drive of the magic mechanism, re-sealing the entire corridor.
The God of Nature watched all of this quietly, until the fortress built by mortals was closed again, then he looked back, closed his eyes silently, and returned to his long and meaningful waiting.
Gawain returned to Amber, Hetty and others, and everyone immediately gathered around - even Veronica, who usually behaves the most calm and calm, could not hide her excitement and anxiety at this time. She even spoke faster than Amber: "What happened? Why is the giant deer Amorn... alive? What did you talk to Him about? "
"This is not a suitable place to talk, and I am also a little tired." Gawain immediately raised a hand, interrupting a lot of questions that were about to come from others, "Let's go back first - —There are many and complicated things, so I need to tell you slowly. "
...
A sigh-like word floated down from the high throne, and the soft voice echoed in the hall: "He refused... ”
Melita and Noretta stood at the bottom of the high steps with their heads lowered, neither daring to look up nor speak. They just waited for further instructions from the gods with nervous expressions on their faces. .
Even the most adventurous, bold, and unconventional young dragon is full of awe and dare not make mistakes when in front of the patron god of the race.
"Raise your heads, two young children," the gorgeous woman with blond hair trailing to the floor sat on the ornately decorated throne, looking down at the two figures at the end of the steps, a smile seemed to appear on her face, "I'm not angry, and you The task has been completed very well - among the younger generation, you are outstanding. "
Melita and Noretta then dared to raise their heads. The latter glanced at the superior goddess in awe, with a modest look on his face: "Thank you for the compliment..."
p>The Dragon God did have a smile on her face. She looked at the two young dragons with satisfaction and asked casually: "OutsideIs the world...interesting? "
"Interesting," Melita replied immediately, "and the human world has changed a lot in recent years, such as...ah, of course I am not too obsessed with the outside world..."
She seemed to feel that there was something wrong with her unsteady appearance, and hurriedly wanted to make up for it, but the voice of God had already come from above: "Don't be nervous, I have never prohibited you from contacting the outside world. Tallond is not a closed place... As long as you don't run too far, I won't care. "
Melita lowered her head: "Yes, yes..."
"What kind of person is Gawain Cecil? "The Dragon God asked again, "Besides rejecting my invitation, what else did he do? "
"He... is very complicated and difficult to see through at a glance," Melita said in thought. "Generally speaking, I think he is strong-willed, has clear goals, and his vision is very advanced among human beings." ——A series of facts also prove that most of his advanced judgments are correct. As for his behavior after rejecting the invitation..."
She thought carefully about this, and said while organizing her words: "He has always behaved very calmly - except for what he just heard from you. Apart from being a little surprised when I was invited, I acted like I was facing an ordinary 'invitation'. He didn't seem awed or alarmed by the fact that this was an invitation from the gods, and his nonchalance was probably not an act. My polygraph sensor didn't respond. "
"The most cunning con artist can even deceive himself. Spells and equipment that detect lies are ineffective against such people," the Dragon God said lightly, "But I believe in your judgment, Meili. Ta, that human seems to be a little special. He should really have neither awe nor fear of the gods. "
The hall was quiet for a moment before Melita and Noretta finally heard a voice that sounded like the sounds of nature: "That's enough, you can go back and rest." "
They bowed their heads at the same time and said in unison: "Yes, my lord! ”
The two young dragons left, and for a while there were only the aloof gods, the dragon priests who served the gods, and some servants who didn’t need to care.
Enya sat in her large and gorgeous chair in a somewhat lazy posture. She leaned on the back of the chair, put a hand on her face, and said in a chatty tone: "Herago, those two The child is very nervous - do I really frighten you so much on weekdays? "
"They just fear you, my lord," Heragore said immediately. "You have always been tolerant and kind to the dragon clan, especially to the young clansmen, and they must know this. "
"Is it just awe..."
Dragon God Enya said softly as if talking to herself, her eyelids drooped slightly, and she looked lazily towards the hall with her narrowed eyes. At the end of the line, his sight seemed to pass through this temple, through the mountain peaks and the vast sky of Tallond, and finally fell on every dragon on this land.
She saw a net with countless lines. She saw chains woven by faith, connecting every living thing on this earth.
Faith is like a lock, with mortals on one end and gods on the other.
"...It's boring."
The god said with a hint of disappointment.
......
"I was so nervous just now!!" Walking in the square outside the Great Temple, Melita couldn't help but pat her chest and take a deep breath while saying, "I feel like my heart is beating out of place...Ah, I really want to check my hearts when I go back. I really feel like two of my hearts have jumped into other chambers..."
Noretta glanced sideways at her friend: "You shouldn't skimp on internal implants - the composite blood pump heart from Frost Heavy Industries or Buck Bato is not expensive."
“No amount of heart can resist the oppressive feeling of facing God directly - not to mention those so-called new products are not much different technically from the old models, with a few lights and beautiful badges added to the skin. It won't make my heart stronger."
"Okay, we shouldn't talk about this loudly here," Noretta couldn't help but remind, "We are still within the scope of the Holy Land. "
Melita tried her best to calm down, then stared at Noretta several times: "You don't have more opportunities to meet the gods than I do...Why do you look so calm?"
“Maybe you should try inhaling half a unit of Gray Booster before an important meeting,” Noretta said. You behave inappropriately."
"...I don't like this fancy booster," Melita shook her head, "I'll just continue to be my young old antique."
