The teleportation light on the temple square gradually dimmed, and two figures appeared in front of us: this is the arrival of the disciples of Kenser and Lin.
Those like Kenther and Lin are considered to be the younger generation in the star field, but as gods with unlimited lifespans, in the eyes of mortals, they are guys who live as long as the world and even longer. Therefore, in these long years, they are called Basically, all of them have accumulated quite a large number of believers (Ding Dong is an idiot, so the exception is that before Lilina appeared, even if there were believers under the name of Ding Dong, it was always in a mess), but these believers have never been to Shadow City, so I am now in a very curious state, wanting to see what the believers of the two unreliable gods would look like, and at the same time, I made up some images in my mind in advance, and finally waited for the two figures to become clear Then I found out that they were completely different from what I expected:
One of them was an old man, wearing an undecorated coarse cloth robe, the style of the robe was so simple that it was a whole piece of gray and white cloth. The old man had white beard and hair, and a long beard hanging down his chest. Judging by the appearance of a human being, he was at least ninety years old. On the surface, the only thing that can show his special identity is a long metal staff with a height of one person in his hand. This staff is obviously extraordinary: the whole body is golden, with a faint holy light floating on the surface. The huge crystal inlaid on the top can already prove the extraordinaryness of this thing. In all fairness, I think this long staff has a much higher presence than the old man in front of me. The latter looks like a very ordinary old man, from his clothes to his appearance. If you have to say something unusual... that is, ordinary people usually don't live to such an old age.
This old man who looked like Moses walking out of a religious mural was obviously a follower of Uncle Kenser, so the people around him must be followers of Lin. It was a woman of unusually tall stature. By visual estimation, he was at least 1.8 meters tall, with long brown curly hair. With a heroic appearance, she looks like a female soldier who has been in the army for five years. This woman is wearing a simple and revealing leather armor, revealing a large area of healthy wheat-colored skin. Her figure is not so much plump as it is strong: I noticed her six-pack abs at first sight...
This is a heroic woman who can remind people of Amazon female warriors. Her tallness and strength can even make people ignore her identity as a woman intentionally or unintentionally. I can be sure that she has been active on the battlefield for a long time. This can be seen from the scars on her body. And what attracts her most attention is not only her mighty appearance. It's also some quirky features: the scaly skin on the thighs and arms, and the golden vertical pupils, which are reminiscent of a half-dragon like Sagina. Although she doesn't have a tail, I'm sure she belongs to the Dragons, or simply dragons in human form.
Like the old man next to her, this woman also carried a weapon. But it's not the scepter usually used by high-level believers, but a mountain-breaking battle ax on the back. The ax has the same rough shape as its owner, and I checked it visually: this thing has a smooth handle that is bigger than Pandora's. High...you can imagine how loud this thing is when it swings.
I glanced at Lin with a strange look: that Amazon female warrior who looks like a humanoid chariot, is she really a believer of the Dragon God? Can the contrast between master and servant be stronger
If you want to say that Uncle Kenser's follower is an old man, that's okay, anyway, both of them are following the old man's route. And it was the kind old man who hung on the religious mural and looked like the savior. From his temperament to his clothes, the old man on the opposite side was in perfect harmony with Uncle Kenser. At most, he was too old for this age. But I really didn't expect that there would be such an Amazon female warrior among Lin's believers—look at her other believers, or they are tragic girls like Sagina and Sona. Either it's Sister Yu, who looks cold but is actually bleak like Suoya, anyway, it's the family accident route. The radiant female warrior not far away looks like the type who can cause trouble for other people's families... It stands to reason that what kind of God has what kind of pope, Lin, your family is a mutation, right
However, Lin and Kenser didn't notice the look in my eyes, they just came forward to greet their followers with a happy expression, and Lilina didn't lament that Lin's followers are so mighty, but muttered there: " Colleagues are enemies, I feel the strong malice in this world... These two seem to have more work experience than the Pope, boss, how should I pretend that I am dedicated?"
I knocked on her head casually: "Go to the temple first and put you in front of the god statue. The recording mechanism is played every day when you pray. Are you ashamed to say that you are religious?"
The two new guests seemed to be in a daze. They had never been to Shadow City before, so they were looking around with curious eyes. The strange buildings here and the strange aircraft in the sky probably made them feel a little confused So much so that they didn’t react when their own god came in front of them. When I leaned over, I happened to hear Kenther greeting his believers: "Will! Long time no see, you look a little old..."
Only then did the old man called "Will" react. After seeing Kenther, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Lord! Please forgive me..."
Kenther hurriedly pulled the old man up: "Okay, okay, it's not at the festival, you can reduce the pressure on your intervertebral disc."
I looked at Kenther, and then at the old man who could almost be Kenther's father from the outside, and suddenly remembered that when Uncle Kenther mentioned the latter, he had the expression on his face when the elders mentioned the younger generation. "That kid"... At first I really thought the other party was a kid, but I never expected that the person who came could almost be my grandfather. This scene is really amazing.
On the other side, Lin also patted the arm of the female Amazon warrior (because of her height, Lin was only 1.5 meters tall...), the latter quickly looked away from the spaceship in the sky, and saluted Lin respectfully, But before she opened her mouth, Lin made an unexpected movement: she reached out and hugged the head of the Amazon woman warrior, and rubbed her chest affectionately twice, as if a mother was holding her own child: " Aha, Quina has grown so tall…”
I stared at the scene in front of me with a dumbfounded expression: Goddess Baolong's motherhood was exploding. The heroic Amazon female warrior was hugged and rubbed against her head by a thin girl who looked like her own daughter. The two rubbed against each other for a while, before the woman called Quina finally spoke in a muffled voice: "My lord. I'm not a child anymore..."
Only then did Lin let go of her hand, and introduced others with a happy look on her face: "This is Kenser, I often tell you, God of Light, this is Lilina, the pope just like you, and finally this is Chen Jun , is a big shot. You have to respect: he is the commander of the Xiling pantheon, just like the father god of the star field—oh, he is also a kind and good person like the father god... "
Quina and Will rushed over to salute, and I took a step back and waved my hands vigorously: "Don't be too polite, don't be too polite, you two are too stressful to salute. Treat yourself as your own home here. The people of Shadow City are simple and hospitable. Basically, as long as you don’t fight in the street, you’re fine.”
There was a bit of regret on Quina's face: "I heard that there are many masters here..."
I glanced at Lin with a strange expression: Who else can I listen to? Apparently this doormat spread the word.
"By the way. Do you have something to do here? Just a pilgrimage or a tourist visit?"
Although believers under the name of the Shenzu Tiaozi five-member group are very welcome to come to Shadow City to play, I still want to ask what they are doing here, even if it is not for official business, to satisfy my curiosity.
Both Quina and Will showed a little hesitation, and then looked at their God with probing eyes. Obviously, they didn't know if some things could be said here, and Uncle Kenser took the initiative to speak to me: "They do have a mission. Of—do you still remember that the God Realm’s world management system had a lot of problems a while ago?”
I nodded: this matter is still fresh in my memory. Although it has nothing to do with the empire, Star Field is their brother after all. That incident made them very angry, and of course he will not forget it.
"At that time, Lin's world management system also had a little problem, but her situation was not serious. So you probably don't know," Uncle Kenser nodded. "After that incident ended, the Pantheon investigated for a long time. The superficial investigation result was a 'normal failure', which had nothing to do with the abyss area or the like. The sudden dense eruption was only a matter of probability, but no one believed that things would be so simple. So Father God arranged a follow-up and observation task, let some worlds with more typical faults continue to observe the operation status of the management system-because it is just some simple tasks such as data collection, we don’t need to do it ourselves, so Lin and I This task is handed over to the children. Here, the two of them are here to report and send materials."
I nodded knowingly, then squinted and glanced at Lilina with a very critical look: Look at the Pope of someone else’s house, and then look at yourself. Excuse me...
In the end, everyone must have guessed it: this girl just pretended she didn't see it, and continued to wrinkle her little face and play her own tricks...
"Since it's a business, then I won't make trouble," I nodded to the two guests, "You can chat with your own god first, and you can stay as long as you like. There are free hostels specially prepared for religious visitors in the temple area. You are here It’s fine to have fun for a few days.”
Quina and Willow expressed their thanks somewhat cautiously, and then followed their gods to the depths of the temple area. After the four of them had gone far away, I looked down at Lilina: "Speaking of which, you are the host of the temple. , At this time, shouldn’t you follow the past and be a guide or something?”
"A colleague is an enemy," Lilina looked up at her face seriously, "I feel that being with them is more stressful."
I rolled my eyes at the sky: This girl actually has self-knowledge. She obviously realized how unreliable she is usually, which made her feel uncomfortable when she met two popes who were born in majors and insisted on clocking in for work every day. Of course, she has also been in contact with other believers of the star field gods, and she has also come into contact with a larger number of gods. In the past, she had no pressure. The main reason for the pressure this time should be related to the Pope, the uncle under Uncle Kenser: old man Seeing that she is in her nineties, she might be summoned by the Lord if she drinks too much water. Lilina probably knows that she is easy to get angry with her sloppy appearance, so she just keeps her distance...
The above are all my idle and boring cranky thoughts and brain complaints, welcome everyone to take it seriously.
"By the way, the female pope under Lin is really..." I looked at the direction in which the foursome of God + believers left, and recalled the muscular Amazon female warrior, and I couldn't help but sweat on my forehead. "Lin looks skinny and pitiful, how did she cultivate such a fierce sister... Isn't it about what kind of God raises what kind of believers?"
Lilina waved her hand disapprovingly: "The boss is too one-sided. Think about the intelligence of our Lord, and then look at the Pope..."
I:"… "
Lilina tried her best to die because of her high resistance to God's punishment. Of course, there is another reason why God's thunder will not strike her. It may be that the laws of the universe and the truth of nature have acquiesced that Ding Dong's intelligence is hopeless...
"Boss, where are you going next?" Lilina raised one foot and dangled beside me, and asked in a lazy tone of nothing to do, "It's still early, so you can't go home at this time, right?"
I looked at her strangely: "Didn't you say you wanted to come to the temple to deal with 'political affairs'? I came with you, why do you have nothing to do at this time?"
"My political affairs are over." Lilina nodded as a matter of course, "For inspection of the temple, coming here for a while is equivalent to signing in. Anyway, the number of check-ins per month is 20 days less than mine. .”
Me: "..." Fortunately, this guy didn't join in the fun with the two popes just now, otherwise, why don't the Amazon female warrior just say it, the old man in his 90s should have been summoned by the angry Lord at this time!
I'm somewhat resistant to Lilina's nonchalant personality, and she really didn't delay her usual work. At this time, looking at her laziness, I couldn't say anything about her, so I touched the girl's head and thought of a place in my heart: "Let's go, let's go to a place where we can kill time."
Lilina's face suddenly revealed a happy look: "Hey, it's been a long time since I've had a date with my boss, and I'm still a little excited when I think about it—are we going to an adult hotel or something?"
I punched her right on the head. Then pinch her to the armpit and teleport away from the temple area. After the teleportation light curtain dissipated, Lilina looked at the small shop in front of her and muttered: "Tch, I thought it was such a romantic place, but it turned out that I was invited to eat cake again."
"It's a slow place," I shrugged. Keeping a loli under his arm, he stepped forward and pushed open the glass door of the shop, "Sylvia! There are customers coming!"
After the routine greeting, I found a vacant seat by the window (in fact, there are basically all vacant seats in the store) and sat down. First put Lilina on the chair next to her, then go to the side to pour two glasses of drinks, then pick up the coloring pages on the table and slowly flip through them. Basically, she only heard a slow voice coming from the direction of the counter after going through this set of procedures. One answer: "Ah, it's Chen—"
It feels like that guy's reaction speed is a second or two faster than before, is it an illusion
Sylvia's small shop is as calm as ever, even a dangerous person like Lilina who is in a restless state for 24 hours can't help but calm down in this special environment. I ordered two lighter snacks, chatted with Lilina while eating, and after a while, Sylvia floated over quietly like a wandering ghost, this slow silver mole was beside us Sitting down, his tone was curious: "Hey—the atmosphere in the base feels weird—I heard from Bella Villa that a big man is coming?"
I glanced at her in surprise: This guy can feel the atmosphere is weird, it's not easy.
Lilina took advantage of my dazed moment to pick out the small nut cakes from my plate and eat them. I pinched her nose and turned to look at Sylvia: "Well, the spirit of the abyss is here. It's really subtle : Are you related to her or not?"
Sylvia thought about it for a long time (of course, it may have been reacting for a long time), and then slowly shook her head: "I don't know, these four words don't sound very emotional, I don't know her."
Sylvia was born after the network connection between Bella Villa and the Abyss was interrupted unexpectedly. Of course, she knew nothing about Abyss Xiling. The identity of the apostle is not very touched. After all, "Silver Mole" is a personality created by Bella Villa in a state of self-evasion in order to protect her soul. These complicated things should really have nothing to do with her.
But Sylvia rolled her eyes and thought for a while, and then said: "Bella Villa seems to be quite concerned about this matter—"
"What did she say?" I asked casually while helping Lilina wipe the crumbs from her face.
"She said she wanted to find Abyss Xiling—then give her one hundred thousand volts, once a day~~a day—" Sylvia said honestly.
The movement of my hands stopped immediately: "Fuck me, why are you so resentful?"
"Why can't there be such a big resentment!" Sylvia's tone changed suddenly, from that slow state to unprecedentedly smart, "I was hurt so badly by her, I don't believe she didn't find out Occam’s stomach is full of bad water. In addition, there is the messy situation in the abyss area. Everyone is in danger. Warlords are fighting, and there are separatist forces everywhere. After I lost the battle, I was thrown away as an abandoned child. Why can’t you say There is resentment! Resentment is light!"
Obviously, this is Bella Villa waking up. After so many years of recharging her energy, although she still can't stay awake for a long time, she can already grasp the external environment in real time, and seamlessly communicate with Sylvia at any time. switch. I stared blankly at the silver-haired woman who was impassioned, and it took me a long time to find a chance to interject, and smiled sarcastically: "Um, Abyss Xiling's behavior style is indeed ruthless, but Harlan should be more resentful than you It's even bigger: you were sold alone, and Harlan was sold with his family, and the story of his 'transportation captain' is almost spread throughout the capital."
"Tch, at least he's fine now," Bella Villa curled her lips, "Look at how I'm schizophrenic."
When it comes to schizophrenia, my thoughts can’t help but diverge: I know more than one schizophrenia, in addition to Bella Vila-Sylvia who is passively split, and Tavel who is so brilliantly divided Abyss Xiling-Xiling has a history of more than 70,000 years, and there is also the new army-old army division of Abyss Xiling not long ago... It seems that as long as the apostles of Xiling can release schizophrenia as an active skill It must be a fierce person. Bella Villa's precision skills are not proficient enough, so she is not strong enough. Now she can only nest here selling cakes and occasionally go to the base to teach the ravens to make big fireballs... (To be continued.
