After the game is over, Gordon leaves Fountain Square and goes to the restaurant to meet his girlfriend. But no matter how much he asked, Sigrid refused to say what she had bought.

After lunch, the afternoon date was still abundant.

first went to the zoo to let those fluffy and chirping cute things wash their souls, and then went to watch a love blockbuster called "Earth and Moon Sadness". Although Gordon is not interested in this theme of "a soul free from the shackles of gravity to pursue free true love", Sigrid is extremely involved in watching it, and when she comes out of the movie theater, her eyes are red, and she has already entered the play.

After a romantic candlelit dinner in the evening, the day finally came to an end.

Back in the neighborhood and getting out of the parking lot, Gordon said to Sigrid, "You go home first, I'll go to the supermarket and buy something." ”

"What to buy, is it a guarantee...... Insurance ......" The girl's cheeks suddenly turned red, "Big pervert, ignore you!" ”

Gordon didn't know why Sigrid was suddenly angry again, he just made an excuse to go and find out about Penza.

"Okay, be obedient, go back and wait for me." Gordon leaned down and pecked his girlfriend's soft lips lightly.

This trick works. Sigrid said "um" and obediently left.

Although the girlfriend with a tsundere personality often loses a little temper, as long as she shows a little love, she will quickly transform from "proud" mode to "petite" mode. Among them, the wonderful taste is not enough for outsiders.

Gordon's first love on earth was a tsundere girl. It's a pity that he was young and vigorous at that time, and he didn't understand or disdain to understand the minds of girls. So in the end, there are no regrets. And now that he has long since left that world, there is no way to make up for it.

Although in the setting, this is a community where Gordon has lived for many years. But he was still a stranger. Relying on street signs and electronic maps, it took him half an hour to find the dormitory of the property management company.

"Room 501 on the 5th Floor......

After finding Pensa's accommodation, Gordon entered the elevator.

This kind of life without spells and having to rely on ordinary people to achieve goals is still a bit unaccustomed to him.

Coming to the door, Gordon raised his hand. Took a deep breath. There was a sense of tension in his heart that he was finally about to solve the puzzle, and even felt a trace of uneasiness for the first time in a long time.

But before he could knock on it, the door was opened by the people inside.

Gordon has dealt with him many times. The familiar old man stood in the hallway and smiled kindly at him, "You're finally here, Gordon. Mr. Freeman. ”

Instead of calling him Gordon, Pensa used the phrase "Gordon. Freeman".

"Elder Pensa. Are you the creator of this illusion? Gordon asked straight to the point. All day today. He had had enough of all the speculation and didn't want to waste any more time.

"It seems that you are smarter than I thought, and you are so quick to determine that this world is an illusion." Pensa did not deny it. He beckoned to Gordon, "Come in and sit down, let's talk slowly...... By the way, I'm just the opener of this illusion, not the creator. I don't have that ability yet. ”

Gordon followed Pensa into the room.

The interior decoration is not the modern style of the earth, but the ancient Nesser style that Gordon often sees on reliefs and frescoes.

"The world is amazing though. However, a stubborn old man like me still prefers nostalgia. Pensa explained.

Gordon was noncommittal. His concern for Pensa's origins. Far more than interested in upholstery.

"Elder Pensa, can you tell me first, who are you? Why didn't I see anything unusual about you after I met you? ”

"Young man, I know you have a very interesting little thing." Pensa smiled and pointed to Gordon's eyes, what he was talking about was probably the eye of truth and warning.

"That gadget of yours, although it is very convenient, is at best the hand of a great arcanist of the legendary realm, and of course it is impossible to see through my true body."

Gordon's heart sank.

The Eye of Truth and Warning can see through illusions, illusions, disguises, and concealments, and is a powerful magic item of the legendary level. If it can't find Pensa's true body, wouldn't that be ......

"You're a god?"

"Got it right." Pensa leisurely poured himself a cup of hot tea and took a sip of it. It was as if this virtual tea was really mellow enough to soothe his taste buds in reality.

"To be precise," he said, putting down his teacup, "I'm a quasi-god. A wretched creature who has a godhead, but no priesthood or godhood. ”

Hey, even if it's just a quasi-god, it's much stronger than 99.99999% of the creatures in the entire Telos world, and you call yourself a poor worm, so what is a tenth-level little mage like me?

Pensa didn't know that Gordon was secretly complaining about him, and continued: "My birth has to start from the time when the Magic Empire of Netherduran had not yet risen and the Sun Elf Empire was dominant......"

In the era when the Elven Empire was strong and glorious in the Third Age, the Haiwen Peninsula was not as mixed as it is now, in the form of a mixture of hundreds of tribes and tribal division. At that time, the peninsula was ruled by the Beast Elves. Because it deviates from the center of continental civilization, the beast elves are relatively backward, but they are definitely not barbarians who drink blood. Instead, they created their own unique culture.

It's just that at that time, the Sun Elves, who considered themselves to be of noble blood, practiced strict class rule similar to the caste system. The Sun Elves (Golden Elves) are first-class citizens of the Empire, the Moon Elves (Silver Elves) are second-class citizens of the Empire, and other elven subspecies, such as the unfallen Dark Elves, Forest Elves, Wild Elves, etc., are all third-class citizens.

Humans, dwarves, halflings, orcs, etc., all belong to the untouchable class without citizenship. Instead of being recognized as a member of the elven family by the rulers of the day, the beast elves believed that their existence had tarnished the nobility of the elves' bloodline. Therefore, the beast elves are not only isolated from the empire, but can only live on the Haiwen Peninsula, and cannot even believe in the gods of the elf family.

Fortunately, although the day elves are arrogant and full of discrimination, they at least have an elegant and noble nature, so they do not take any further oppression against the beast elves. If it were humans, I am afraid that a genocidal massacre would be staged sooner or later.

And the beast elves are also very backbone. Since you blondes with pointy ears look down on us, let's play with ourselves.

In the production and life of the beast elves and the development of civilization, their worship of primitive natural totems gradually gathered enough faith power. Then, in the power of these beliefs, a god belonging to the beast elves themselves was born, Pensa.

In the world of Telos, the gods come from a variety of origins. Like the platinum dragon Bahamut and the five-colored dragon god Tiamat, they are both gods born at the beginning of the creation of the world. Today they are called dragon gods, not because the dragons believe in them, but because they are the creators of the dragon family.

Woking, the goddess of wealth and commerce, and Eracis, the god of law, are new gods born with the development of civilization and the increase in worshippers, and the power of rules and faith that have been condensed have merged.

Pensa falls into this category.

If over time, the beast elf race continues to increase, the civilization continues to develop, and the power of faith condensed becomes more and more, Penza will definitely be able to be promoted to the true god, have the priesthood and godhood, and create his own divine kingdom.

But unfortunately, when Penza was born, it was already at the end of the Sun Elf Empire. After that, there was a fierce war between the rapidly rising Nesseran Magic Empire and the twilight Sun Elf Empire for continental supremacy. Although the beast elves are remote, they are not immune.

Later, the Japanese Elf Empire was destroyed, the royal family fled overseas, the Nethers dominated the continent, and peace finally came again. But the doom of the beast elves is not over.

A Nether Lord and Grand Arcanist with thirteen floating cities has his eye on the entire Beast Elf race. He felt that this race was the best material and slave, so he led a large army to invade the Hybon Peninsula.

At that time, the fledgling Nesser Empire was still in the period when several Grand Arcanist Lords were divided and ruled by power, and there was no emperor, so even if anyone sympathized with the Beast Elves, no one would risk being an enemy of a Grand Arcanist Lord to help.

"Just when the beast elves were in danger of extinction, I found Asaph. Augustus. I offer my real name and ask him to help save the Beast Elves. ”

"His Majesty the Elemental Emperor must have agreed." Gordon said.

"That's right." Pensa nodded, "Although Asaph. Augustus wasn't the most powerful Arcanist Lord at the time, but he was one of the smartest. Not only did he defeat the Grand Arcanist who tried to enslave the Beast Elves, but he also took advantage of the situation to start a civil war, quickly unifying the whole of Nether with unrivaled momentum and being crowned the first emperor of the Empire. ”

According to common sense, what follows should be a happy ending. The Beast Elves were saved, and they could continue to live happily and multiply, and continue to channel the power of faith, so that Penza would eventually become a true god.

Unfortunately, it backfired.

Since the defeat of the Sun Elves, the other elven races left on the continent held a racial assembly in Silvermoon City in the 57th year of the Nether calendar to re-admit the beast elves as members of the elven race.

So, if you can re-believe in powerful elven gods such as Corellon and Angelis, who cares about the little quasi-god Penza?

Pensa's number of followers dwindled sharply, but after two or three generations, he became a bare-bones commander.

"What a sad story." Gordon commented, "You exchanged your freedom for the survival of the beast elf clan, but you were betrayed by the clan, you must be very unwilling. ”

Pensa laughed: "At first, I was indeed very unwilling, and even personally killed a number of high priests of the beast elves who betrayed my converted faith. However, under the persuasion of my master, I was finally relieved. ”

"I'm curious, how does His Majesty Augustus make you give up this deep hatred of being betrayed?"

"And he said unto me, Thou art my faithful servant. One day I will become the king of the gods, and you will also have the power under one god and above the gods. (To be continued......)
