Where am I? Could it be in a dream

Rody tried his best to open his eyes wide, but he felt a little confused, and his eyes were filled with darkness.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. Since he couldn't see anyway, what difference did it make if he opened his eyes or closed them

Not only was it pitch black, there was not even a sound. In this darkness, the silence is enough to drive you crazy. In such darkness, the eyes could not see anything and the ears could not hear any sound. You don't even know if you take a step forward, whether it will be flat land or a cliff. At this time, no matter what you are thinking, there is only one answer.

The answer is: I don’t know!

Perhaps the "unknown" is mankind's biggest fear. Some people may not be afraid of death, but if you don’t even know how, when or how you are going to die, wouldn’t that be the most terrifying thing

Even if you are determined to die, when you close your eyes and wait for the knife to strike, the knife has not yet fallen - this feeling is the most crazy feeling!

Rody sighed and was about to roar three times with all his strength, but suddenly he heard a hoarse and thick voice whispering slowly...

"God said, 'Let there be light'! And the world was filled with light."

With this low groan, the surroundings suddenly became bright! The dazzling white light almost forced Roddy to close his eyes. After he completely adapted to the bright light, he shouted loudly: "Who is it? Who is talking?"

The hoarse and rich voice did not answer him, but continued to whisper:

"God called the light Day and the darkness Night. From then on light and darkness were separated!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the strong light around him dimmed a lot. In the originally chaotic space, a strange scene of day and night appeared, with the sun and moon above rising and setting alternately. Light and darkness switch back and forth in space...

"Who! Who is it?!" Rody was a little surprised and couldn't help shouting.

Rody's voice echoed in the space. But that hoarse, rich voice still whispered to itself:

"God said, let there be life. So God created the wild animals according to their kinds. The livestock according to their kinds. And all the creeping things on the earth according to their kinds. From then on, there was life in this world!"

Following this voice that seemed to have some mysterious color, scenes of illusions appeared around this space! The birds in the sky, the beasts on the ground, the fluttering autumn insects, the leaping fish in the river...

The illusion was like a stream of brilliant scenes, appearing like fragments around Rody, one appearing and one disappearing. Then the scenes slowly unfolded.

Roddy calmed down at this moment and stopped shouting. He simply sat down cross-legged and quietly looked at the illusions around him. Suddenly something moved in his heart and he asked loudly: "Then, what else did God say?"

"God said, Let us create man in our image, according to our likeness! So there are people in this world!"

Suddenly, a chaotic gas-like object appeared in front of Rody. The gas mass suddenly became black and white, bright and dark. Then it kept changing its shape while tumbling. At first, it changed into the appearance of birds and animals, but after just a flash, it continued to change into something else. Finally, the shape changed into the appearance of a crude humanoid, and finally stopped changing. . This humanoid air ball slowly became refined from rough, with hands and feet gradually taking shape, then the body, head, hair... and finally the face!

This is an old man who looks extremely old. He is wearing a gray tattered robe, with a snow-white beard that almost reaches his chest, but there is a calm smile on his wrinkled face.

His eyes were fixed on Roddy, who was sitting cross-legged in front of him, and then he slowly spoke with the same hoarse and rich voice that had been speaking just now.

He said slowly: "God created mankind to have dominion over the fish in the sea, over the birds in the sky, over the livestock on the ground, over the whole earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."

His eyes stayed on Roddy's face, and he said slowly: "So, this world came into being. So, humans became the masters of the world!"

The two stared at each other for a while, and Roddy suddenly burst into laughter. He seemed to have seen something ridiculous. He laughed louder and louder, and finally almost burst into tears.

"Nonsense!" The laughter suddenly stopped, and Rody shouted loudly: "Human beings have become the masters of the world?? Ridiculous! Ridiculous! If God spent so much effort to create this world, why should humans be allowed to dominate it? Is there something wrong with God’s mind? Is God a madman? Why didn’t He create this world in the first place if he left it to others

There was a glint in the eyes of the old man in front of him, but there was a smile of approval on his face. He continued slowly: "God said to the world, believe in me, and you will have eternal life. Believe in me, and you will be well. Believe in me, and you will get health. Peace. Trust me and rest. All that I create will praise me.”

"Hahaha..." Rody laughed and said: "Look, these are the prices! Human beings are the masters of the world, and they are not exchanged for these prices! They are just puppets! They are just puppets of God! They are just looking at their masters You’re just a slave with a low face! If you are dissatisfied at all, I’m afraid God will take it all back, right?”

Rody sat on the ground, his laughter gradually subsided. There was a look of contemplation on his face. He held his chin, and suddenly his face turned into a bitter expression: "I suddenly thought of people raising pigs, horses, cattle and sheep. Give them food, feed them, but in the end they still serve people." He raised his head and looked at the old man in front of him: "The relationship between gods and humans seems to be the same. "

The old man still did not answer, but continued in that melodious tone: "The world is corrupted before God, and the earth is full of sin. God said that those who rebel against God will take back what I have given! So for fifteen days, heavy rain flooded the earth for one hundred and fifty days. On the tenth day, every creature with breath in its nostrils died on the dry land. Only the favored people lived and were protected by God.

Roddy still laughed again, clapped his hands and shouted: "Okay! How wonderful! How is it different from our human emperors? It's just like the emperor, if he sees the disobedient subjects below, he will be charged with rebellion and then all Kill and kill only those who are obedient and obedient..."

The old man finally stopped talking and looked at Rody with a smile. Rody lowered his head and thought for a while. Then he raised his head and said with a smile: "Hey, old man, you told me so many stories, they are just legends in the sacred scriptures, which I have read before. Who are you? What is this place? He frowned: "I remember I was fighting with someone at sea, and then I was beaten to the bottom of the sea. Then..."

After he said this, he slowly stood up and said with a smile: "You are not a monster on the bottom of the sea, are you?"

The old man shook his head.

Rody sighed and said, "Okay, I don't like guessing like this."

There was a smile in the old man's eyes, and then he said: "Article 107 of the Divine Scripture: There are those who are rebellious and blasphemous in the world, God said, deprive them of their language. Make them unable to speak. If they want to speak, they must praise me. ”

Roddy said "Ah". He patted his forehead and said with a smile: "I understand. You are the kind of person who blasphemes the gods, but the gods turned you into a mute. If you want to speak, you can only praise God, otherwise you won't be able to say a word! Right?" At this point, Rody shook his head and sighed: "No wonder, no wonder what you just said is from the sacred scriptures." The more he thought about it, the more ridiculous he became, and finally laughed: "Those gods are really true. It’s so despicable! Even if you don’t allow others to criticize you, you actually come up with such a wonderful way to make those who criticize you mute, and then let them speak only words of praise to God... What a genius! The method of punishment is really interesting!”

The old man was not angry at all, he just looked at Roddy with a smile.

Rody laughed for a while and then sighed: "Okay, old man, where is this place? How did I get here?" Before the old man could speak, Rody patted his forehead again and said with a smile: "I forgot, you can't talk casually... Oh, this is difficult to handle... By the way!"

There was an expression of joy on his face: "You should be able to write, right? Just write it."

The old man smiled, with a helpless expression on his face. He stretched out a hand and waved lightly, and a small piece of sand appeared in the originally chaotic space under his feet. He stretched out a foot and scratched the sand a few times, revealing a few words: "Ask."

Rody took a deep breath and said, "What is this place? Why am I here? Who are you?"

The old man looked at Rody, stretched out his foot and scratched a sentence on the ground: "Are you done asking?"

Rody glared at the other party and continued to ask: "Ask so much first."

Without saying a word, the old man stretched out his feet and scratched out a few lines on the sand. As he was writing, Roddy read and read slowly: "The first question, the cell! The second question : Too long... Hey, old man, what does "too long" mean? Is it too long to say a few words? Okay, then the third question, are you..."

Rody suddenly stopped talking and watched the old man finish writing the last few words. Rody suddenly raised his head and stared at him, his face full of surprise and disbelief.

Because the answer to the third question is clearly written on the sand on the ground:

Moses, the first pope of the religion!

"Stop the car quickly!"

The convoy was walking quickly on the road, and suddenly someone among the people guarding the carriage behind suddenly shouted.

Bia, the deputy leader of the Royal Knights of the Kingdom of Sauron in front, was a little impatient, but he still ordered all his subordinates to stop. After all, when he came, the king ordered himself to be respectful to these visitors from the Bright Continent.

"Your Majesty, there seems to be some movement!" Those people wearing honor guard uniforms surrounding the carriage were the soldiers who followed Rody to the Roland continent.

They were guarding the carriage just now, but suddenly they heard laughter coming from inside the carriage. That voice was none other than the Earl!

The two Royal Guards of the Empire of Light who were following Rody jumped off their horses, quickly rushed to the side of the carriage, opened the door and looked inside.

I saw Lord Earl, who had been in a coma these days, lying there. Although his eyes were still closed, he was grinning with his mouth open. He shook Roddy hard several times and called out loudly. But Rody just laughed there and let the people next to him shake him vigorously. But couldn't wake up at all.

The way he smiled looked like an ordinary person laughing out loud while having a sweet dream.

"My lord, my lord, it's not like your brain was damaged that day..." a soldier said hesitantly.

"Hahahaha..." Rody laughed heartily, pointed at the old man in front of him, and gasped: "You, you are actually Moses? You are the so-called most devout believer of God, the greatest leader in the history of the religion, Pope Moses. ? The one who led mankind through the thundering strait and created the miracle of the sea being diverted?”

The old man was not angry, he still looked at Rody with a smile and nodded. Roddy finally stopped laughing and whispered: "Okay, are you really not joking? Then I'm really surprised... If you are Moses, how could you be punished by God and not be able to speak? Also, what did you say just now? Is it a prison cell? How could Moses be imprisoned in a prison cell by God?”

"Blasphemy!" The old man drew these words lightly on the sand.

But, aren't you the most devout believer? It is not because of your devotion to the gods. And was the rod of Moses given to you? Your magic staff is still with me! "

Moses shook his head, stretched out his feet and continued paddling: "The rod of God is not with you, but you and I are in the rod of God!"

Rody's body trembled and he looked at Moses with wide eyes.

"What's wrong, sir?" The soldier who was supporting Rody smiled bitterly: "Why does your face change, sir? He smiles sometimes and seems surprised. Is he dreaming of something?"

The person next to him had a mature and steady character. He pondered for a moment and whispered: "How do I know? I think it's better to find two magicians to take a look after we get to the place. We have nothing to do about this kind of thing. Don't act rashly. !”

Bea at the front of the queue was already a little impatient. His Majesty the King's order is to take the envoy to the royal capital as soon as possible. Now those people are discussing endlessly around the carriage, and they don't know what they are doing.

Bia jumped off the horse and ran over with long strides. He just said loudly: "Everyone, it's getting late and we have to hurry. I think..."

As soon as I said this, I heard a "whoosh" sound breaking through the air!

Biya snorted, an arrow was stuck in his shoulder, and his body immediately fell back! At the same time, another seven or eight screams were heard, and many knights were struck by arrows and fell from their horses.

"Someone is attacking!!" The surrounding knights shouted loudly, drawing their swords and surrounding them.

Several archers appeared on the big trees on both sides of the road, and then dozens of people wearing black robes and covering their faces jumped down from the trees. They held bright swords in their hands and shouted in unison: "God Bless our people!" They rushed towards the chaotic queue at the same time! In a moment, they were fighting with the Royal Knights of Sauron Kingdom.

"Hell!" The warriors of the Royal Guards of the Bright Continent under Rody immediately gathered around the carriage, closed the doors at the same time, and formed a defensive formation!

They saw a tall man in black robes rushing in front of them. One of Rody's warriors shouted and raised his sword to meet them. There was only a crisp impact of metal intersecting, and the warrior flew out sideways. , fell to the ground far away, struggled a few times, and fainted.

The other warriors are all experienced soldiers, and they are not panicked when they suddenly see a powerful enemy! One of them shouted in a deep voice: "Let's work together to kill this person first!"

Following the order, these warriors automatically divided into two groups, leaving five people guarding the carriage, while a dozen others surrounded them and attacked from above and below.

These people were all very skilled, and they were carefully selected warriors from the Imperial Palace of the Light Empire. However, the tall man with a black robe and a mask was terrifying in strength. He cut down half of them in three strikes. One of the warriors was even killed. He cut the man in half with his sword in one blow!

The eyes of the people on the side were red. They shouted in unison and used desperate moves one after another. They simply ignored the opponent's attacks and their attacks never came back! It's completely a life-for-life style of play.

"Om, it seems you are in trouble." Seeing that the tall man in black robes was surrounded, a lazy voice came from a big tree next to him, and he saw a man in black sitting on the trunk of the tree. , one leg was dangling in the air, his tone was a bit mocking, and he said with a sneer: "A few warriors have you in a hurry? Hahahaha..."

"Shut up!" The besieged man in black robe suddenly cursed angrily. A sharp look flashed in his eyes, and the slashing sword in his hand suddenly burst out with a fierce golden fighting spirit. His body seemed to suddenly become stronger. He only heard two short screams, and with a sweeping sweep of his sword, he immediately cut the two warriors beside him into two pieces!

As the blood sprayed, the man sitting on the tree trunk next to him suddenly laughed and gloated: "Aha! Om, you are finished! The boss said you are not allowed to use fighting spirit! How dare you disobey the boss's order! Hahahaha! "

The black-robed man Om became even more angry and cursed: "You won't come to help, you will only cause trouble! Why don't you use grudges? Isn't it just that you are afraid of revealing the secret? Just kill them all!"

He kept talking, but the sword in his hand was even more terrifying. After two sentences, four more warriors were killed by his sword!

The few remaining warriors were horrified, and one of them shouted: "Go and lead the Earl to retreat quickly! Let's cut off the rear!"

As soon as he finished saying this, he saw a cold light flash before his eyes. He felt a sharp pain in his arm and screamed. It turned out that the hand holding the sword was cut off at the elbow! This warrior was brave by nature, and he actually roared, rushed forward, hugged the man in black, and shouted: "Get back!"

With a bang, his body suddenly fell into pieces, and flesh and blood flew everywhere. A golden fighting spirit rose up, and blood spattered the man in black. He said angrily: "Damn it, you actually soiled my noble body! "
