Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Oldest, the Greatest
"Wait a minute, please. It was Lina, who was supposed to have run to the door with Catherine and the others, and her voice suddenly appeared, making the three girls on Catherine's side, as well as Pannis and Sigourne, all look back at her in some surprise. Because she did not leave with Catherine, but stopped halfway through the run.
"Can you wait a moment before continuing?" Lina stood in the middle of the rotunda, the expression on her face difficult to describe in words, everyone seemed to be able to read a myriad of different messages from her expression. Lina's magic book and mace were casually hung on her belt, and she stood relaxed in place, smiling at Pannis and Sigurn and said, "Can you give me a little time first?" I don't think you two need to rush here even if you two want to work hard. β
Lina is changeable, as the rest of the party already knows. And she is not only changeable, but also shares a body with many friends, and often changes to another person without warning, in everyone's impression, no matter what personality or identity she suddenly becomes, it is not surprising. But this time, a very strange feeling rose in the hearts of the other three girls, as if the impression that this Lina in front of them gave them was very special.
Pannis also looked back at Lina, and then his face changed. A person who has a lazy expression all the year round, who doesn't seem to care about anything, and who doesn't seem to be interested in anything, suddenly becomes extremely solemn, the muscles at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes are beating slightly imperceptibly, and his eyes have become strange.
Sigourn's face also changed, this woman who had spent hundreds of thousands of years, this woman who had led thousands of supreme people with her husband and issued a declaration of war to the gods, this woman who was known for her forbearance and patience, who planned step by step to take revenge on the betrayer, and who didn't care even if she brought a civilized race to hell, after a few seconds of seeing Lina, her face suddenly changed, the charming smile that was originally printed on her face disappeared, her slender fingers were clenched into fists, the third eye on her forehead was opened to the maximum, and there was a faint flash of energy in her eyes, as if a strong beam of light was going to shoot out of itγ
"Ahem, ahem. Pannis was stunned for a long time, and the three girls in the distance were infected by his seriousness, and did not ask any questions for a while. After being stunned for more than ten seconds, Pannis coughed a few times, a wry smile appeared on his face, and he stroked his chest with one hand and bowed deeply to Lina.
Behind him, Sigourne, who had almost entered the battle before, did not sneak up on him, but grabbed his hair with one hand, lifted the side hem of his long skirt with the other, and saluted Lina with the understanding peculiar to the women of the gods. Sigon rarely salutes people, for hundreds of thousands of years, as the strongest person, whether it is the same kind or gods, few of her are qualified to salute, especially after the war of killing gods, more than 100,000 years have passed, and no one is qualified to let her salute, but even she herself could not imagine that she would actually salute a weak woman who is less than her age in this situation.
"You don't have to. Lina frowned and waved her hand, "It's going to make me feel very uncomfortable." β
"How could it not be. Pannis smiled bitterly, slowly straightened up and said, "Isn't it the duty of every mortal to pay his respects to the gods?"
Hearing Pannis's words, the other three girls suddenly understood what had happened, looked at each other blankly, and offered Lina the courtesy corresponding to their profession.
"Are you mortal?" Lina smiled kindly at the three girls, which was considered a return gift to them, and then turned to Sigurn and said to Pannis, "And you, how much do you think you are still mortal?"
"In any case, it is only natural to pay your respects. Pannis smiled bitterly and said, "Your glory will forever bathe every creature in the world, whether it is a mortal or a god. β
"I am not mortal. "But no matter how arrogant I may be, I can't lose my courtesy to one of Yara's oldest gods, the Breeder of all things in the world, Lord Denya, who embraces all things with love. β
Denya, the goddess of love, the goddess of the earth, is one of the oldest gods in the world of Yara, along with some of the primordial gods such as the god of the sea, the god of wind, and the god of fire. No one knows when she began to walk the world as a deity, and no one can speculate on this time, but it is generally believed that after Yara's creation, before the gods knew how to believe in gods, they were already unknown. Denia's church is very poor, but the number of believers is large, most of them are farmers and travelers, and they cannot pay enough tribute and tribute to the church, but even so, under her teachings, the priests of the church will still give back to all believers the grace of the gods, and almost every town has Pastor Denia, who treats the believers for free of their physical diseases, and even if they are not believers, the priests who turn to Denia for help in the last resort will be carefully cared for by them. This act of fraternity brought respect to the goddess of love, Denya, from the heart, and people could not disbelieve in her for various reasons, but they could not disrespect her.
However, this is not the reason for Sigourn's respect, in the age of mythology, the gods walked with the gods, and too frequent contact made it difficult for the gods to respect the gods from the heart. But Sigurn still respects Denya, as she is one of the very few gods who has remained neutral in all wars from ancient times to the present day. Whether it is a dispute between the gods in ancient times, a war between the gods and gods in the Age of Mythology, a war for the extinction of goblins in the Silver Age, or a war of the gods for faith in the Bronze Age, in every war, Daniaya is neutral and never participates, in the eyes of Mother Earth, it is the most unacceptable foolish thing to break out in order to compete for interests, because of the war that leads to the withering of life. That's why Sigurn treats her so peacefully, and if other gods who have fought come to her, even though she herself says that she won't hold a grudge against the enemy in the war, I'm afraid it will be difficult to talk normally.
"Don't be surprised. Denya beckoned to the three girls, and the girls were stunned and cautiously walked over. Denya's gaze swept away, but everyone felt that her eyes had already seen into their hearts: "Father's command we must obey, we will not come to the world as the main body, nor will we use divine power to exert influence on the world, so this is not a divine descending, I am just temporarily controlling this body with pure spiritual resonance under the prayer of Lina, a child, don't worry, just like those of her friends, once I return to the kingdom of God, she will recover herself." β
"Whew. Catherine breathed a sigh of relief, she was really worried that this was a divine descent, in the history of the Third Age, there had been many precedents of the gods using their priest's body to descend, but the mortal souls of the descended could not withstand the full will of the gods, so the moment the gods came, the fragile souls would be assimilated by the gods, so that after the gods left, all the descended people without exception would lose their minds forever and become a soulless living dead. Knowing that Lina was no longer in such danger, Catherine regained her composure, bowed her head and said, "Thank you for your grace, Lord Denya. β
Denia smiled and shook her head, her eyes focused on Vivien's face, reached out and touched Vivian's head, and then touched the back of her neck, and asked, "You are the sick child, you can see that it is indeed a very troublesome disease, but as long as you get through this crisis, the road ahead will be very easy." β
"Will there be a road back?" Vivien said with a wry smile, "The healing device is gone." β
"You two are both in Vision's inspection period, and that omniscient fellow won't easily investigate some people who have no future. Dania's mouth suddenly covered and winked mischievously at Vivien and Freya, "Oh, am I talking too much? However, even though you don't believe in me, I'm going to give you an oracle, you're too fat. β
Freya's expression immediately became very exciting, and the expression on her face could be seen changing almost every second. was ordered to lose weight by the oracle, I'm afraid that in the history of the Yara world, there will be no second one besides her.
Denia wrinkled her nose and smiled like a mischievous child, and turned her eyes to the life support pod carried by Catherine and Freya, the two girls seemed to suddenly remember something, and subconsciously wanted to hide the life support pod behind them, but before the action was made, they stopped rationally, looked at each other with a wry smile and shook their heads, and when they turned their heads again, they saw that Denya's eyes, which seemed to know everything on the earth, were looking at them with a smile.
"This is the work of the goblins, isn't it?" Denya shook her index finger at the girls, "It's useless to hide it now." I've seen it. β
Denia feels very special, although she is the oldest deity, she is like a simple child, without any disguise, showing her truest side at all times, maybe for these oldest gods, there is nothing in the world worthy of their disguise.
"Put my body down. When Pannis asked everyone to leave just now, he had already handed over the small equipment on his shoulder to Catherine, and at this time Eva said on Catherine's shoulder: "You have done enough for me, obviously it is the first time you have met, and I still have a lot to hide from you, but you are still willing to protect me, I am really grateful to you, but enough, this is no longer a problem that you can solve." Since I came into existence with original sin, and since I should not have existed in this world in the first place, let me face my own end. (To be continued.) )
