"You saw the resurrection of the ancient gods last night? Oh, that's it."
At the edge of the forest, in the center of a large group of pagans holding swords, "Steaming Crab" Rodney weakly responded to Old Wood's words, with an expression of pity to coax an old child.
The old Wood with gray hair and white beard was the former head of the village. He had been managing the village for many years when Rodney was a child. He was already glorious after he was handed over to Rodney, who returned from a long journey and returned with treasure. Retired, but this time the village encountered a crisis and there were so many enemies, Rodney had no choice but to ask the old village chief for help.
Wood himself is a source-level 3 master. Although he is old, he is more than enough to deal with some source-level 4 guys. But as the saying goes, there are hard-to-read scriptures in every family. Old Wood doesn't break down when he fights, but after the battle is over, the price will be paid. It's easy to come back.
Wood’s price is also very simple... It’s silly. If you look at it from Roja’s modern perspective, it’s a bit similar to Alzheimer’s.
So when Wood fell from the sky and vowed to talk to Rodney about the resurrection of the Rauchi god, Rodney felt that this guy was ill, but at any rate it was the former village head, who respected the old and loved the young, Rodney was not good. Refutation can only be "right to right" all the way.
"Damn it! What I said is true, brat! My price has passed! I'm not crazy!"
"Yes, wise master of the village, is there anything else for you?"
"I... Curry! Come and tell him!"
Looking at Rodney, who was coaxing him to play, Wood beat his chest, and finally had to pull a young man with a dog, a blue-haired young man named Curry, who kicked the dog with his hands, and began to Wood's words testified.
"My lord village chief, what the old village chief said is true, not just him, but several people in our guard regiment saw it last night.
"many?"
"Yes, and we all described it afterwards, and the scenes we saw were basically the same."
Curry touched the dog's head and began to describe it in detail. The people who had the spiritual vision were the supernatural beings in the village who obtained the elemental quality and were biased towards the spell system. The scenes they saw were slightly different, but they were roughly the same.
"An image of a young man standing on the shoulders of huge bones... this, do you see clearly?"
Rodney's steaming was over, and he asked in detail with a confused and skeptical look, but the answer he received was not satisfactory.
The huge skeleton can also be explained as the appearance of the giant after death, but the boy standing on the shoulder, how does it look like an equal relationship? But how can human beings be equal to the existence of giants
The giant is a race of the same level as angels in myths and legends. It can be said that the concept of gods is not very different. This kind of existence will allow a human to step on his shoulders
"But, it's really a human teenager, his height and body type, but he just can't see his face..."
"Curry, you don't understand this. This is normal. Most of the great beings are not able to look directly at the real body. From this point of view, the young man might be the messenger of God!"
"The messenger of God, is the Lord Son?"
"Yes, it is the Son of God!"
"Wait, wait, you will wait."
Rodney stood up to stop the two excited people, and began to pull the head of the dog's head guard team and the intermittent Alzheimer's patient back to reality.
Pagans are different from Shiyas. Although they are divided into sects and their origins are different from each other, in fact, many people have no faith in the gods of their sect. One of the reasons is that the identity of pagans did not bring them The other advantage is that most of the gods of this sect have died out, leaving only the elemental quality as a promotion route for humans to use.
The pagans in Rodney’s village belong to the faction of [power]. Most people in the faith have respect for the ancient gods, but that is when the ancient gods die or fall asleep, when [power] They will surely be affected when their source recovers again.
On the bright side, the awakening of the ancient gods will strengthen the entire promotion route. All pagans who use [power] source quality will gradually increase in strength in the future. This is like the emergence of the lead brother to activate the entire team. From this source, the higher their reinforcement, the smoother the development.
But from a bad point of view, the ancient gods are the horrible existence above the promotion route. They are likely to influence downstream individuals through the connection of origin and quality. The most typical case is the conversion of some infidels into cults. Many infidels are not themselves. It was the willingness to become a cultist, but the ancient gods in the upper reaches of the source had fallen, which affected them.
This subjective uncontrollability can be said to be an important reason why the mainstream human groups reject the pagan origins other than the three major origins. Now, Rodney and others must also face such risks.
"From the perspective of Lingshi, He doesn't seem to have the intention to control us. Of course, it is also possible that our gaze is not threatening at all and does not attract His attention at all."
Wood said this while touching his beard. It's like humans don’t notice the eyes of ants when they walk. It’s normal for great beings to ignore small humans, but from this perspective, ignoring them seems to be equivalent to not being able to manipulate them. ? Seems like a good thing in this way
"If we can find that young man, that is, Lord Saint Son, we might be able to seek protection from the gods through him, but the location..."
The old man frowned and sighed. So far they have too little information to do much. Rodney listened for a while and reorganized his emotions and began to talk about his findings.
"I know what you said, but now we don’t have the time to discuss this matter in detail. The Mata Chamber of Commerce is eyeing us. They want'Snake God's Scales'. It seems to be a powerful acquisition at a high price. This is me I just asked it out."
"There is still power behind the Marta Chamber of Commerce?"
"No wonder there are endless cultists coming to harass this time."
Old Wood and Curry became serious after hearing the words of the village chief. There is no doubt that there is no time to think about other things. Their top priority now seems to have become how to save their lives.
Tamar Chamber of Commerce, it is a chamber of commerce promoted by cultists. No one knows how deep the forces behind it are, but at least one can know that it is definitely not an undeveloped pagan village. Confrontational.
"Why don't you try to find the Village Federation?"
"This is the sole affair of our village, and the Federation will not take care of it."
"They won't care about us life and death, but may persuade us to hand over the curse."
"..."
The three people gathered together became silent. The current situation is really too bad. The simplest solution is naturally to hand over the "Snake God's Scales", but this is actually something they can't do.
Relying on this magical curse, the village of Rodney and others has not been attacked by monsters on a large scale for more than ten years. The population has risen sharply in recent years, but the new generation has not yet grown up.
Originally, the defensive power of the village has been stretched over the past few years. It is all maintained by the charms. Once the "Snake God's Scales" are handed over, their power will not be able to protect so many old and young women and children. Instead, they will become monsters. The fat sheep in the eyes, the whole village will be at stake.
"Migrate, move into the mountains, and see if it can survive the spring plowing season. If there is no harvest for three months, the forces that buy snake scales from the Marta Chamber of Commerce may give up."
Rodney had no choice but to make the decision to run first. Wood and Curry looked at each other and did not object. After all, no one wanted to fight head-on.
"But, what if they don't give up when the spring plowing season comes? There are too many people in the village, but hunting can't feed them."
"...In the worst case, our whole village can only live a hard life in the mountains and open fields, but in that case, the miasma in the mountains is another problem."
Rodney rubbed his brows, and a worried look appeared on his face. The mountains of Tansen were full of dangers, and even if they were not attacked by monsters, they were not suitable for human survival.
"In other words, do you want to think about the gods of our sect?"
Curry hugged the dog and made recommendations cautiously. The recovery of the ancient gods in this sudden period made him feel that this was some kind of fate, but after listening to his words, Rodney and Wood did not answer, but fell silent.
Seeking the protection of the ancient gods is undoubtedly a gamble. If you win the bet, it will naturally be long live, but once the bet loses, you might end up as a puppet. For this situation, even the more optimistic Old Wood It is also difficult to make a decision.
"We don't even know the location now, so this should be the last option."
Rodney responded like this, and Wood nodded when he heard the words. In any case, leaving a place he was familiar with would be disturbing. This is not just for ordinary people, even for extraordinary people.
"If Lord Son really exists and can communicate that the gods do not enslave us, then it will be a paradise for us, but... is this kind of thing really possible?"
The middle-aged man shook his head and traveled north and south for so many years. He had heard too many stories of chain corruption. Rodney actually didn't trust the ancient gods upstream of his sect, let alone believe that there was an ancient existence in this world. Humans walking side by side.
Old Wood and Curry also hesitated after hearing Rodney’s words. If they saw a strong man among humans, it would be fine. In theory, a young man who did not grow up really did not let the ancient gods. The possibility of equal treatment.
"Oh, let's go back and organize to enter the mountain first. If what Lingshi sees is true, then we can't only see it this time."
Old Wood's gray pupils looked into the distance, with hope and a touch of sentiment in his eyes.
"Wait until we can determine where the Lord Son is."
