Sometimes, Lilina is an awkward perfectionist. Of course, this is a more literary term. Generally speaking, she may be a bit paranoid: as long as it is the standard she believes, no matter how much effort she has to put in for it, she will do it. To perfection, the most direct example is the establishment of the Goddess of Life Cult: when she was just resurrected by us, she said that she would become the priest of Ding Dong. At that time, Ding Dong was just trying to manage the world independently. What is sympathetic is that several of her subordinates have long been the gods of several worlds), let alone priests, and there is not even a believer. Ding Dong himself does not know how to spread faith. Big news, in the end Vidis’s mortals also believed in a broad "goddess of life" instead of her jingle, so everyone thought Lilina was just joking: a goddess who is only as big as a palm, and a goddess who eats sugar faster A goddess who has almost no advantages other than being more accurate than drilling fire circles, wants to follow such a god and establish a huge religion? And let this religion really work and become the right arm of the empire
This kind of thing seemed to us at the time to be just a child's raving - Lilina's deceptive appearance and personality always made us treat her like a child, and that time was no exception.
But then Lilina showed us just how powerful a paranoid can be when he makes up his mind. With her own power, she serves as a priest, bishop, missionary, and even a servant of the gods at the same time. She compiles the teachings (although it changes every two days) and formulates the church structure (although it is directly Baidu). I figured out how to let mortals use the power of the Goddess of Life by paying their faith (because Ding Dong couldn't help at all, her believer leadership test only scored six points, out of 150 points), and even ran to Azeroth alone Recruit knights on the land of the Green Dragon. When she stubbornly fulfilled this promise. She has preached in the Undercity, preached in the Eastern Plague, gave lectures in Deathknell Town, and recruited believers in Raven Ridge—well, the direction of the above efforts may be questionable, but in the end she accomplished all of them.
The Sect of the Goddess of Life has finally spread in the macro world. The structure is weird and the teachings are nonsense. Believers and leaders often get into a mess, and the whole church recognizes that when praying to the goddess, it is necessary to repeat the religious organization several times. Now it is the largest civil force in the empire. Although they never charge into battle, they are the servants of the army. ray of hope. Along with the Chief Bee and the Regeneration Factory, it is called the Three Great Nurse Brigades of the Empire, and it is the only one dedicated to mortals. Lilina contributed a lot.
Now, this somewhat paranoid 1.09 meters has another stubborn idea: she insists on letting the tree elves get a new mother tree, and the newly completed Paradise Garden obviously does not meet her standards.
"The reproduction and evolution of a species is completely different from pure production," Lilina said with a very inscrutable expression, looking like an expert and scholar. If she was sixty centimeters taller, I would dare Send me to Peking University pretending to be a talented female scholar. "The former requires flexible changes and a complete set of processes that can be self-improved without planning. The latter, no matter how many exquisite templates are designed, is always a dull assembly line product. Tree elves should be a race rather than a group of tools. But If they rely on the Garden of Paradise to generate population from now on, as long as the current generation of tree elves dies, the next generation of tree elves will all be manufactured and will never evolve. Every day is the same date...”
Will each of her metaphors go in the direction of novelty in the end
"According to this, wouldn't the apostles of Xiling not be able to live?" I rubbed Lilina's head. It all comes off the production line."
"But the production line of the Xiling Apostle itself has a soul. The Xiling Apostle who can produce the mind comes off a special production line. Those production lines are controlled by the Xiling host, and the Xiling host is connected to the spiritual network of the entire race. After all, Xiling The spirit apostle as a whole is a huge life. The so-called production line and mass-produced soldiers are just the organelles of this life body. When disassembled, they seem to be no different from machines, but they have a spiritual network, which produces the soul of the race. Paradise Garden is Without this 'racial soul', or 'soul code', each species has a 'password' after it is created, this code cannot be copied by others, I can't make genuine tree elves, and neither can the goddess. Same, this is the limitation of Paradise Garden."
What Lilina said was so inscrutable that I couldn't help but look at her differently. The little girl was stunned for a moment, and looked at her dissatisfiedly: "Boss, what kind of eyes are you, this is my specialty, isn't it so difficult?" Do you understand?"
"You continue, you continue." I said to myself that I really deserve to be a genius girl with a background in psychology. I could tell what I was thinking at a glance, but then again, are genius girls more or less paranoid? For example, Madame Curie...
"As long as others talk about something you don't understand, they will definitely go off topic," Lilina sighed helplessly, then knelt down and poked a section of gray-green thin vine floating over, very Strange, the fine vine retracted as soon as I touched it, but Lilina didn't care how to touch it, "Father God is at home, and looking for him will definitely solve the problem, but I want to do it myself, the power given to me by the Goddess of Life must be Enough. The mother tree wants to live, I can hear its voice... "
"You already have a plan?" I looked at Lilina's expression, and based on what I knew about this little girl, she probably had a plan at this time, but she didn't dare to make a decision before greeting me.
Lilina paused for a few seconds, then slowly said: "The mother tree can no longer grow by itself, and the paradise garden cannot replace the mother tree, so my original plan was to graft the mother tree and the paradise garden together. The resistance is that the two are incompatible. One of the solutions is to make all the tree elves believers in the Goddess of Life, through the reverse influence of individual races on the whole. The mother tree can be gradually contaminated with the power of Ding Dong, and grafting will be easier. This is easier It only takes a little time to do it. I am familiar with the rest. The second point, this... I need something from the goddess, put it in the core of the mother tree, and it can completely reverse the place where the tree elves belong It’s gone.” Oh, calling the tree elves won’t count as long-distance calls in the future, right
"You can just say no?" I looked at Lilina strangely. She usually has an amiable relationship with Ding Dong. In name, the relationship is between a god and an attendant, but in fact they are as close as sisters. Does this kind of intimacy require someone else to pass on the message
"That thing is very important," Lilina spread her hands, "I know the boss will definitely say something about me. So let me tell you in advance, what if you misunderstand that I am messing around again? What should I do? would hate me."
Lilina tried her best to speak calmly, but I already understood this girl's mood: she must ask Ding Dong for something special, for fear of being misunderstood by me. Thinking that she had tricked Ding Dong, who was not enough brains, with sweet words, so she was vaccinated in advance, well, the heart of a girl is really hard to understand. Usually this girl cheated Ding Dong less often, in order to replenish the church's holy water reserves. I haven't said anything about stewing jingle soup pot by pot with the reason that you should take more baths in winter.
Maybe she was simply suddenly afraid of being hated, this capricious fellow. It doesn't seem strange to feel any mood suddenly. It's just that I'm more curious about what she wants from Ding Dong.
"That leaf," Lilina weakly pointed to my pocket, Dingdang slept dishonestly, a tip of a wing protruded from the pocket and was fluttering in the wind, "Don't there be two leaves on the head of the goddess? Want a…”
I:"… "
Nima, this is really something amazing!
"Boss, I'm serious." Lilina looked at this side with an unchanged expression, "Anyway, I heard that if it falls, it can grow again, but if the tree elf perishes, it will be gone. Please forgive me as a rescuer. Feelings, and the goddess must agree... "
"I didn't say anything, but the thing you want is too bizarre, I just realized it."
Lilina was overjoyed when she heard that, and looked at my pocket expectantly: the tip of a wing there trembled again.
I took out the jingle, and the little thing was still sleeping in the dark. The degree of her lethargy these days is a bit curious. Although she used to sleep when she was full, at least half of the time was spent playing outside, but now, except for eating, she They seem to be sleeping!
It took me a bit of effort to get Jingle to open her eyes, including throwing her into the sky: I think Jingle should be like a bird. When I threw it into the sky, I subconsciously took off, and I almost fell the little guy, scaring Lilina. something like that.
The little guy who just woke up—maybe he hasn’t woken up yet, sat cross-legged on my palm, rubbed his eyes and looked around: "Ah, you guys are coming to the temple. Ah Jun, is it time to eat?"
"It seems that the situation of the goddess is indeed not right." Lilina said to the goddess, while poking Ding Dong's head without respect, the little thing suddenly staggered: she has not sat still.
"Uh, are you okay?" I finally felt that Ding Dong's condition was more than just lethargy, so I couldn't help asking with concern, but then again, as a goddess of life, is it really necessary to worry about Ding Dong's physical condition
"It's okay, I've been sleepy for the past few days, and I've been wanting to eat." Ding Dang said staggeringly, and finally just rubbed my thumb together, "Maybe it's because I was too tired from the experiment a while ago. Ah Jun has something to ask Jingle?"
"Um, Lilina wants something from you," I hesitated, feeling that what I said was full of all kinds of things worth complaining about, "the leaf on your head, Lilina needs to use one to revive the tree elf Mother Tree."
Dingdang nodded confusedly, reached out and pulled out his hand on his head, and the little leaf that was used as a hairpin was pulled off. The little thing handed it over and murmured: "Oh, here you are. But this leaf grows on the The one that jingled on the head, the one that couldn’t be pulled off said…”
Lilina and I were in a daze at the same time: "..."
Ding Dong only opened her eyes at this time, she was a beat slower than our reaction: "...ah, it's pulled out!"
Pull it out! This little thing said that it couldn't be pulled out, and at the same time pulled off its own leaf!
"Ding Dong changed the leaves?" The little goddess finally woke up, her eyes opened wider and wider. She grabbed the leaf that had just been pulled out, and while reaching out to touch the other "hairpin" on her head that hadn't been pulled out, she suddenly cheered: "Ah! Ding Dong has changed the leaves!"
Lilina and I were puzzled, but Ding Dong had no intention of explaining. She had already started scurrying around in mid-air, flipping back and forth like she had swallowed more than half a catty of stimulants. After a while, Lilina and I became dizzy, and it took five or six minutes for the little thing to take herself I got dizzy, stumbled down, grabbed my thumb and dangled: "Ajun, Ajun, Dingdang has changed leaves! Dingdang is an adult! From now on Dingdang will be an adult!"
I took the leaves handed over by the little guy in a daze. When the leaf grew on Dingdang's head, he couldn't see anything, but when he picked it up in his hand, he realized that it was really pitifully small, less than half a centimeter long. From a distance, it looks like a smashed mung bean. The root of the leaf is also a very ordinary petiole. It is completely impossible to see that this thing grew together with Ding Dong before. I handed this strange thing to Lilina. Looking at the more strange jingle. Finally realized: "Adult? Hey, I'll go! I remembered, the goddess of life is changing leaves for the first time, and this is the first time for Ding Dongyi to change leaves!"
"Yeah, um." The little thing jumped up and down happily, "It's so relaxing after picking off a leaf. I don't feel sleepy at all. It turns out that it's because of this that I always feel dizzy in the past two days. Ding Dong is too powerful—Ding Dang wants Find Father God to report the good news! Ah Jun will come here too, and Lilina will come here too!"
Lilina and I looked at each other in a daze, and Ding Dong had disappeared when we realized: This impatient little guy directly opened a portal and returned to the outside world. She was quite careful, and the portal was left open. The only pity is that neither Lilina nor I can use this door—the radius is not as big as a biscuit.
Father God is basking in the sun and reading in the yard at this time. When he has nothing to do on weekdays, he seems to have a hobby of reading. He reads all kinds of books, from the pile of tomes that Bingtis carries with him to the textbooks Saeko uses in class. , Father God could hold it for a long time to study, when Ding Dong suddenly appeared in front of him, making Father God stunned for a moment, and then quickly understood what was going on with this cheerful little guy.
Soon the family members were attracted by Ding Dong, and after hearing the news that the little thing changed leaves, most of the people half understood, but vaguely knew what was going on—what did the leaves on the head of the goddess of life represent? , we've heard a little bit about it.
"So, Ding Dong was underage before?"
Qianqian's mind turned a bit sideways, and the first thing she thought of was this question.
"No, in terms of age, Ding Dong is already an adult among the goddesses of life," Father God said with a gentle smile on his face, and lightly touched Ding Dong's head, "Well, of course, it looks like all the goddesses of life They don't grow up, but Ding Dang is indeed an adult. However, because the gods have an unlimited lifespan, there are several criteria for judging the adulthood of the Goddess of Life. One is the standard age, the other is to complete the basic knowledge of the Goddess of Life, and there is another It is the first time to change the blades, and the three judgments are of great significance to them—although I don’t know why. These little ones usually live in a muddle, so let’s not delve into the details.”
"The leaves are changed, the leaves are changed..." Dingdang lay happily on Lilina's head, seeing the little one so happy, even if I don't know why changing leaves can be used as a criterion for judging adulthood, I think this is for Dingdang It should indeed be something to be happy about. She has given one leaf to Lilina, and now there is another one on her head, and it is said that the two leaves of the goddess of life are changed at the same time, so the other leaf can also...
While thinking this way, I reached out and scratched Ding Dong's head lightly... The second leaf fell off.
... Nima really fell off as soon as I touched it!
I was stunned, my sister and others were also stunned, since what happened just now is abnormal, but what I am doing now seems to be the most abnormal thing among all the abnormal things: I actually put Clank's last leaf was knocked off.
"Eh?" Ding Dong felt his head was empty, and immediately touched his head subconsciously, then saw the small leaf in my hand, didn't mind, just climbed up and grabbed the leaf: "I can only give one to others, this Ding Dong wants Keep it for yourself."
Father God looked at me with a particularly strange expression: "The leaves of the Goddess of Life, especially the leaves that are replaced for the first time are very important things. Except for them to pick them off, only the closest people can..."
Speaking of this, he took a look at Ding Dong who was completely unaware, and coughed twice: "Ahem, forget it, it seems that she is closer to you than me, the girl is not allowed to stay, don't bully you in the future Her." Why do I always feel that these words are weird
"Ding dong ding dong," Qianqian was the only one unmoved by the surrounding environment, she was still busy teasing the little one, "Will you grow new leaves in the future?" "Of course, new leaves will grow soon!" Ding Dang thought for a while while snapping his fingers, "Anyway, it's very fast."
Bingtis also came over: "Ding Dong, what are you going to do with this leaf?"
Ding Dong thought for a long time, then clapped his hands: "Plant it! Plant a Ding Dong, and we can play together in the future!" (To be continued) RQ
