Liya Callander held a long sword and faced Carol, the man she once respected so much.
"Uncle Carol..."
"Your Highness, I taught you all your sword skills, and I know all your moves," Carol said coldly, "You should be very clear that you have no chance of winning against me."
Although she didn't plan to catch her without a fight, the girl's heart was full of confusion at this time.
Her mother died of dystocia, and her father also passed away early. When she was a child, many people in the palace believed that it was because her grandfather Akaland XI did not believe in gods, and looked at her who survived by chance. Be a blasphemer. Even though those people hid it well, the girl still noticed that they hated herself and wanted to keep a distance from herself.
It can be said that in Liya's childhood, the only person closest to her was her grandfather, Tierra's subjugated king.
Liya's grandfather, known as the King of Ignorance and Blindness by the world, believes that gods are parasites of the world. Although they are far more powerful than humans, they do not help the world, humans, or civilization at all. He even became an obstacle to the progress of the times because of his longing for human faith, so he became an unbelievers, and fabricated the Church of the God of Games as the state religion to cover up people's eyes and ears.
The reason why he chose 'games' as the disguise of his faith is also because Akaland XI believes that entertainment is an indispensable thing to improve national happiness and relax people after heavy work.
The fact is also true. During the reign of Akaland XI, Tierra's national power once surpassed the sum of several surrounding countries.
Yet this is the source of the disaster.
Holding a vessel full of gold and precious stones in his hands, and not having the power to protect this wealth, he will naturally be coveted by others.
Although Tierra has amazing wealth, but there is no god enough to protect this country. Facing the armies of other countries with the protection of the gods, even though the mortal army had better weapons and better armor, they were still defeated, and finally they were torn apart and annexed by the surrounding countries.
Liya's grandfather, Akaland XI, still desperately resisted in the castle after the imperial capital was breached in order to give Liya a chance to escape.
In the end, the impenetrable castle was also burned to white ground by the priests of the 'Golden Temple' who believed in the sun god Amporio's 'Golden Temple', which summoned the descending sun fire to burn it to white ground...
Wouldn't you be defeated if you didn't bow your head to those parasite-like gods? Is the grandfather's policy of simply wanting to have fun with the people wrong
At this moment, the girl was at a loss in her heart, and her originally extremely determined idea of revenge and rebuilding the Tierra Empire seemed to be shrouded in fog, and she couldn't find the way forward.
This kind of confusion will naturally make Liya distracted during the confrontation with Carol, and as Liya's swordsmanship instructor, the former head of the Tierra Royal Guard, even if it is only a momentary distraction, Carol keenly caught it Living.
The moment the girl hadn't recovered, Carol had already stepped forward, easily dodged the attack of the other two attendants, and lifted the weapon in Liya's hand with a sword, causing Liya to stagger back two times. step, almost fell to the ground.
"It's over." The leader of the cult, who was covered in a black cloak and had a mask on his face, laughed fiercely, showing no interest in the ornately decorated sword that fell in front of him.
Carol intends to take advantage of the victory and pursue it. As long as Liya is caught, this operation can basically be regarded as a complete victory, and it doesn't matter what happens to the others.
However, at this moment, an extremely dazzling light suddenly lit up out of thin air, taking away everyone's vision almost instantly!
After the light disappeared, those cultists were surprised to find that, including Liya, all the survivors of Tiera who had been surrounded just now disappeared, and only Carol, who had betrayed Tiera, remained where he was. Confused, completely unaware of what happened.
After being surrounded by light, Liya was the first to react.
She found that she was in a pure white space, and the guards around her who came here with her seemed to have turned into hard stone statues without any response, no matter what method they used, they could not be awakened.
"Don't waste your efforts, their beliefs are too shallow, and they can't face the gods for the time being."
An unfamiliar voice made the girl immediately vigilant, subconsciously wanted to draw her sword, but found that she had no sword, so she simply pulled one out from the hand of the guard beside her as a gesture of vigilance.
"God?" The girl obviously didn't believe it. She could only vaguely see a humanoid creature not far away, and it should be the one who spoke just now.
"That's right."
"Then you must be mistaken, the real unbelievers are here!" After understanding her current situation, the girl thought for a moment, and then seriously raised the condition with Xi Wei: "Although I don't know how you brought us to this I came from somewhere, but I still want to thank you for the time being... Your goal should be me too? In this case, those guards are innocent, if you let them go, I don't care what you do!"
Although she didn't believe that the person who spoke was a god, but being surrounded by cultists, she was able to take them away in an instant, which was obviously very powerful, even more difficult than those cultists. It is completely unwise to hold back at such a time, or else simply get some information from the other party first.
"That's really a pity, I'm not the god of licentiousness." The other party who was in the white void, couldn't see the figure clearly, and could only see a shadowy figure also said: "You should have heard my name, After all, not long ago you prayed to me..."
"What?!" The girl was taken aback.
"Let's introduce myself again." Xi Wei smiled slightly, and it seemed that the fish was hooked: "I am the god of games!"
"God of games... you really exist?"
It seems that even a devout believer like Liya has begun to doubt the authenticity of the God of Games because of the long prayer that has not been answered. If Xi Wei didn't show up this time, it is estimated that his belief here will be completely severed.
"Sorry, I just woke up, so I couldn't help you when Tierra was destroyed." Xi Wei continued to say in that deep and mysterious tone: "But your long-term prayers were not in vain. I have woken up, and I will reappear the time of Tierra, my friend's country!"
Hearing such words from the gods she believed in, Liya felt mixed feelings in her heart. She never expected to get help from the silent gods at such a desperate time.
At the same time, the girl also feels like a wandering traveler who has finally found her place and returned home.
So warm it made her want to cry.
