On the top floor of the Tower of Heaven, under the silvery white moonlight, the black-haired boy looked at the woman in front of him, and for a moment he was a little suspicious of his ears.
Roja has thought of many conditions to ensure his safety, the most important of which is not to go to the battlefield, because no matter what he thinks, the moment he stands on the battlefield, his side will be affected by everyone. The default is the side chosen by the king, which greatly affects the situation.
Such an easy-to-use tool shouldn't be let go by any ruler in Loya, so the black-haired boy speculated that the ancestors might be the chariot tied up by the mother goddess, so he was very wary of the mother goddess. However, the reality is completely different from his expectations.
When the woman in front of the window said the words to leave him, Roja's heart was filled with disbelief, because it was undoubtedly beneficial to Roja, but it was a choice that was of no benefit to the mother goddess. As for the teenager, he asked almost subconsciously.
"why?"
"Um?"
"Why let me stay?"
"..."
Hearing Loya's question, the woman at the window seemed a little surprised. Her pupils were slightly widened, but she didn't say anything. After a long time, she said slowly:
"The battlefield... is still too dangerous. Since you want to maintain neutrality and no one chooses, then don't go."
"..." Website m. .
Under the mother's explanation, the black-haired boy fell into silence. He stared at the sad woman in front of him, and suddenly realized that he didn't seem to know her all the time.
Roja does not have Stockholm Syndrome. The mother goddess seriously threatened his life when he first appeared, bringing him pressure and terror, so Roja subconsciously took precautions against it.
The special status of the chooser determines that whether it is the mother god or the savior, he will try his best to win him, so in the face of her kindness, Roja has always taken it for granted, because in his heart, the mother god just wants to use him, Win over his dominator.
However, this time, the mother god’s decision has brought him a great impact, because security issues prevent Roja from going to the battlefield, neither holding him forcibly nor persuading him, this is not the way a dominator should have. , Is also very different from the juvenile’s prediction.
Such behavior made Roja inevitably realize that his positioning of the mother god seemed to be wrong, and after changing the angle and re-examining the mother god’s various behaviors, a new answer naturally appeared in the teenager. Mind.
That is the mother.
Worrying about Roja’s safety, not using force to persecute him, ignoring his role and leaving him behind, even the seemingly sheltering behavior at the dinner party, if you look at it from a mother’s point of view, it is logical. After realizing this, Roja's emotions were also shaken uncontrollably.
If the mother god really treats the king as a child rather than as a tool for wooing, then the actions of the king has been breaking her heart, but even so, the mother god is still constantly protecting her. As a result, he even chose to tolerate Michelle's report even when he guessed that he had collided with the enemy.
Thinking of these, Roya's heart was inevitably touched, and the guilt in his heart suddenly became a little uncontrollable. He pursed his mouth, and after thinking for a long time, he asked in a deep voice:
"My Lord Mother... are you confident of winning?"
"... I really want to give you a definite answer, but in fact, I can't be sure."
It seemed that he was a little surprised by Roja's words of concern. After hearing the question, the mother god was obviously stunned, thinking for a while before answering, and then he couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"Too many races have been deceived by his lies, and they are convinced of him, so large-scale wars are not good for us. I am stronger than him in terms of personal strength, but he will definitely try his best to avoid direct battles with me."
"...That's it."
Hearing the words of Mother God, Roja didn't know how to respond. He nodded and said, then fell into silence.
Originally, Roja wanted the mother god to unlock the seal of the curse for him to ensure his safety, but after he chose to let Roja stay, the black-haired boy could no longer speak these words, and on the other side , Looking at Luo Ya who was silent, the woman with black hair and golden eyes was thinking about what happened recently, with anxiety in her heart.
Keeping Roja is also a difficult and risky decision for the mother goddess. Strong and cunning enemies can’t knock her down, but Roja’s thoughts make her elusive. If a teenager is really a choice The neutral position is okay. If everything is Roja's acting skills, putting it behind is a potential threat.
The black-haired and golden-eyed woman stared at Luo Ya, and all kinds of thoughts flashed in her heart. It seemed that she had thought of something bad and tried to convince herself. After a long time, she looked at the boy, and her face became more sentimental.
"... We shouldn't have suspected each other, and our relationship shouldn't be like this."
"Hey?"
Suddenly a line without beginning and ending made Roya raised his eyes suspiciously, but the mother god seemed to be reluctant to say more in this regard. After a long silence, the black-haired and golden-eyed woman seemed to warn and plead:
"...Don't betray me."
"!"
Hearing the words of the mother god, Roja's golden eyes contracted slightly, and for a while, he did not know how to react. The long silence came again, and the cold moonlight shone on the two of them, making it seem that the throne was very quiet and peaceful.
Do you want to give an affirmative answer? But the mother god didn't seem to want me to answer.
Roja, who judged this way, struggled for a long time and planned to say something, but before he could respond, the mother goddess spoke first:
"Let's stop here this time... A lot of things happened today, it's getting late, so take a good rest."
"...I see, Lord Mother Goddess."
Looking at the mother goddess who was a little afraid of hearing something, Roya hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly in response. The waiter who led him knocked on the door and entered after the boy answered and walked out with Roya, while the mother goddess Turned around and looked out the window again.
Roja, who was at the door, stopped before leaving, looking back at the mother god’s back with a heavy heart, but the mother god did not look back at Roja or say goodbye. Seeing this, the young man suddenly felt inexplicable for some reason. Sad, but can only move on.
The black-haired boy left, and the throne returned to silence. After a long time, the woman in the moonlight reached out and gently wiped the reddish corners of her eyes, and gave orders to the people around her.
"Reduce the proportion of the highland elves in the guards around him, just leave one or two, and replace them with yours."
"My Lord Mother, what do you mean..."
"Michelle probably won't mess around, but not necessarily the people affected by it."
"I see."
The kinky waiter who leaned over raised his skirt and saluted in such a response, but there was some worry on his face. It seemed that there was some trouble. After hesitating for a moment, the waiter boldly asked again:
"My Lord Mother, there is one more thing I want you to instruct."
"Um?"
"...If Master Michelle is right, what shall we do?"
"..."
Hearing the waiter's cryptic question, the mother god fell silent for a while, and the waiter behind him became more and more uneasy over time. After a long time, looking at the woman outside the window, she sighed and said in a hoarse voice:
"... During my absence, no matter what he does, he is not allowed to hurt him until I come back to deal with it personally."
"clear."
After a brief response, the waiter's figure melted into the darkness and disappeared, while the mother god continued to look out the window without speaking.
The silver moon hung in the sky as before, and the light hit her, adding a trace of sorrow and sorrow.
-------------------------------------------------- ------------
After returning to the room, Roya Akate's mood was not calm.
This dinner and subsequent conversations changed Roja's impression of the mother goddess, and also shaken the hostility he had always held in his heart.
It has to be said that Loya was actually biased towards the mother goddess at the beginning, and the reason was the past experience and the existence of the [six plagues].
From his childhood until he defeated [Lord of the Dead Tides], Roja has been watched by the Mother God several times. His sight full of oppression and terror has brought him a great psychological shadow. [Six Plagues] The threat of civilization, the grievances between the ancestors of the Acate family and the [six plagues] made him naturally hostile to the mother god.
Even this time Roja entered the historical fragment because he was chased by [Hidden Mist], and the reason the calamity monster stared at him was the mother god’s order. In this case, Roja entered the historical fragment. The reason for not breaking out to fight with the mother god is completely because of the difference in strength.
It's too strong to beat, so endure it first.
This is Roja’s original idea, and in the juvenile’s perception, the mother goddess is the enemy that oppresses him. Although there is a task of "choosing a different path from the ancestors", no matter whether the mother god or the savior, Roja never Think you should really help someone.
But at this dinner, through constant contact with the mother god, Roja suddenly found that his thinking was wrong. The mother god’s partiality and love for him was just like a real mother, and in the end it was like a pleading word, even if it was Luo Ya couldn't help but be moved.
Don't betray me.
The mother goddess has nothing to say. Under the condition that Roja was sealed with power, she had 10,000 ways to guarantee the use of the young man, but in the end she chose this approach that is almost pleading, just like waiting for the child's prodigal son. Mother looking back.
This feeling makes Luo Ya, who is constantly cheating on her, particularly uncomfortable, and most importantly, the mother god may really be his mother in some sense.
As everyone knows, Shia is the mother of all living beings, and the person who chooses the king is Shia’s close minister and the child who is most trusted and respected by her. If the mother god is really related to Shia, even Shia, then Luo It's perfectly fine for Yaju to be her child.
"So... what does she have to do with Shia?"
Roja muttered to herself and covered her forehead in annoyance, recalling the scene when she was blessed by Shia, but the result was not ideal.
In the young man’s impression, the original goddess Shia was the incarnation of beauty, but when I recalled her face carefully, she couldn't remember it at all. This is not Roya’s problem, but the common feature of everyone meeting Shia, that is, the original goddess’s impossibility. According to the principle, everyone can only remember that kind of beauty, but cannot recall the specific appearance.
Even if it is the Holy See, the original goddess Shia enshrined today is also a face that was later artificially carved, not the true face of the gods, so judging from the appearance is unreliable, and after giving up this point, Luo Ya turned his attention to Breath.
At that time, the blessing of the original goddess caused the celestial phenomena to change. Luo Ya once felt the breath of Shia for a short time. Although it was only the breath of the blessing left after countless years away, he was quite impressed. .
Thinking back now, that breath does seem to resemble the mother god, but it is not exactly the same, and from the perspective of the sense of existence, although the mother god’s sense of existence is very powerful, it even makes Roya feel instinctive fear. But compared with Shia, it was still a bit worse.
Frowning Roja thought about the connection between the two while slowly walking towards the chair not far away. However, what he didn't expect was that he felt a strong dizziness when he was half thinking about it.
"Hey?"
The sudden intense dizziness caused the black-haired teenager to make a suspicious voice. At this moment, the world in Roya's perception seemed to be still for a moment, turned upside down for a moment and then returned to normal. When he reacted again, his body was no longer in control. The one who lived fell to one side.
"Kang Dang!"
In the sound of the chair falling to the ground, the black-haired boy barely managed to maintain his balance. He was holding the table and not knowing what had just happened. When he heard the unnatural noise in the room, Adoya outside the door was instantly alert and opened the door directly. Rushed in.
"Master Loya! What's wrong with you?"
Adoya, who entered the room, looked at Roya standing by the table and asked. At the same time, the guards of other races also reacted and swarmed in. There were blood races in the dark shadows in the corner, and gargoyles on the corridor. Spreading its wings and leaving the base, the entire floor suddenly entered a state of alert.
"No, it's nothing, I just felt dizzy suddenly, don't be nervous."
Under such a big momentum, the black-haired boy showed a helpless look, waved his hand to calm everyone down, and everyone who heard Loya's words also breathed a sigh of relief, especially Adoya, who is a highland elf.
Although it hasn't been a few hours since the mother gods dinner, it has now gradually spread among the high-levels. If something happens to Roja, the highland elves will naturally take care of it, and she will definitely leave.
No matter how loyal the highland elves are, they will not be willing to leave the side of the king to fight with others on the battlefield, so Adoya cherishes this opportunity very much, so Roya said it was okay, and everyone left the room a little bit. , Adoya stayed and started to check the situation of the boy.
"My lord, are you okay?"
"... Well, it's okay."
"Do I need to call a medical officer?"
"No, forget it, I don't feel that way anymore."
The black-haired boy who was holding his forehead said so, sitting on the chair that was raised up, his heart was full of doubts about the dizziness just now, but when he thought that he was now sealed with curse power, Luo Ya felt that it was normal.
Normally, the body is originally supported by physical strength and curse power to work together. Now suddenly removing one of them will inevitably cause problems. It is just that the previous illusion is...
Thinking of the moment when the world was still turning upside down, Luo Ya frowned slightly, but before the teenager could think carefully, he suddenly discovered that many new faces had appeared among the guards who had left.
"Adoya, who are these people?"
"My lord, this is your new guard."
"New guard?"
"Yes, after the dinner, Lord Mother God ordered to adjust the proportion of the various races in the guard, and most of the highland elves were transferred away."
"!"
Hearing Adoya's words, the black-haired boy couldn't help but his eyes widened slightly, and the expression on his face was extremely complicated for a while.
If there are reasons such as insufficient evidence for the behavior at the dinner, then the behavior of the mother god is now completely considered for Roja.
Transferring away members of the Highland Elves tribe, such behavior will not do any good to the mother god, and may even hurt the feelings of this tribe who is loyal to the mother god.
In this way, on the eve of the war, behaviors that may cause internal problems are basically impossible to win Roya, but may only be true love, and after feeling this concern, Roya's heart is even more uncomfortable.
Looking at the scenery outside the window, remembering the flashing eyes of the black-haired boy with the mother goddess before, the expression on his face became firm. After thinking for a while, Luo Ya looked at the maid on the side.
"Adoya, I want to sleep for a while."
"I see, please feel free to call me if you have anything."
The elf who responded in a low voice exited the room, while the black-haired boy walked into the bedroom and lay on the bed, closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.
The sinking consciousness fell into dimness again, and what followed was a familiar hazy feeling. In his sleep, the constantly changing world reappeared around Roja, the path in the dark winding forward to the end of the world, black hair The young man stepped forward and stepped into the world of the evil god for the second time.
When the door was pushed open again, Roja's consciousness recovered and he walked in quickly, followed by the girl's happy voice.
"Have you come to me again so soon? You are really an impatient person."
Idavia closed the book and looked at the figure at the table with a smile, while the black-haired teenager on the other side had a serious face. He looked at the brown-haired girl and said after a little greeting:
"Aidavia, continue the topic last time, can you please tell me? The relationship between Mother God and Shia."
