God's family

"Ulysses is the smartest person I've ever seen. Yes, he was just a human being at that time." Jeffrey said softly, his big blue eyes also dimmed, and the whole figure looked even more illusory, " He seems to have endless potential, able to easily break down the barriers that existed between various departments, and learn knowledge that others may not be able to comprehend in their entire life—just like you, Roger, when you ask me for advice , I always can't help but think of Ulysses, you make me feel proud and proud, just like Clarence once felt, also, there is a deep fear that you will be the next Ulysses Sith. A genius is always a scary creature, because you never know what's going on in their head, and what they're able to turn their ideals into."

Roger opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. He himself thought that all of this was due to the effect of the bracelet, but... is it really so?

"However, unlike you, Ulysses is a fanatical believer. He was born in a family that believes in gods. He grew up in the temple and was educated from morning to night. , he was praying in front of the altar. I have never seen a more pious person than him. Of course, it is not impossible for him to be discovered by Clarence. God has been watching people, even if he has not participated Never forgotten."

"Clarence liked Ulysses very much, not only because his pious faith added a lot of divine power to him, but also because he was clever, handsome, and pure in heart, just like Clarence himself. Whether it is a human or a god, they will have a good impression of beings similar to themselves. At that time, I also liked Ulysses as much as I liked Clarence." Jeffrey snorted lightly, obviously resentful towards his former self "Because of this love, Clarence came to Ulysses' side. He taught and raised him, just like teaching and raising his own parent and child. God's life is too long, too long to see the edge clearly, like There are generally no waves in stagnant water, and they need to find something to do for themselves, and Ulysses is obviously what Clarence found when he was lonely and numb."

Jeffrey stopped talking, his body floating in the air shook, and seemed to be lost in feelings, and he continued after a long time: "I don't want to say more about the next thing, it was a wonderful time, whether it's Claren Both Ulysses and Ulysses were happy, but the end of the story made this period of time seem so hateful and ironic, like a nightmare. All the changes were too sudden, or maybe there were early signs, but at that time I But I didn’t notice it at all.”

"Ulysses' family suffered an accident, the whole country fell into chaos, and people were devastated. Ulysses hoped for God's protection and grace, and begged him to end all these misfortunes with his supreme magic power, but Clarence Refused, because of the agreement with the rest of the gods. I never knew that strong love could be transformed into such fierce hatred. When Clarence didn't even think about it, and still felt worried and sad for Ulysses, The former believers whose beliefs have collapsed raised their god-killing swords."

The corners of Jeffrey's mouth were slightly raised, and he laughed mockingly and angrily: "Ulysses killed Clarence and took away the god fire from him. He hated the god who ignored the suffering of the common people, and swore that he would become a new god, a A truly merciful God, and then build new rules to create a world where no one will cry—everyone will be safe and happy under his protection or control.”

"I've waited for so long, so long that I even thought that he finally understood Clarence's difficulties and gave up his oath of ignorance, but I didn't expect that now he finally started to act, and he was still so desperate and crazy—— That's it, that's all I can say, is there anything else?" Jeffrey ended his words impatiently, and after glancing at Lycente, he fixed his gaze on Roger.

"...So, Lai..." Roger started, but was quickly interrupted by Geoffrey: "I can't say."

Roger was stunned.

"I can't say." Jeffrey repeated, with a hint of pleasant malice on the corner of his mouth, "He has already broken the barrier between man and god and descended into the world. I don't know if he is watching here, so what do I say?" I won’t even tell him. Seeing that he still failed to achieve his wish after such a long time, I am so happy, how can I help him and let him find out that little secret?”

Jeffrey blinked playfully like a little devil wagging his tail, and Roger nodded helplessly: "...Okay, then I'll change the question--what should we do next?"

"How to do what? What can you do? Unless you want to follow in the footsteps of Ulysses and become the next godslayer, you can't do anything." Jeffrey shrugged, "I'd rather There's a welcome view on that, but the key question is, are you willing to do it?"

"I don't have any interest in gods or anything." Roger curled his lips, and glanced at Laicant, "...I guess Laicant is the same."

"Is there anything else to say?" Jeffrey snorted softly, "Man can never stop God, so you can only follow his plan obediently and go with the flow—of course, the premise is that he will let you go. "

"The premise is... what do you mean?" An ominous premonition suddenly flashed in Roger's heart, but Jeffrey ignored his inquiry, turned around and disappeared into the air with a chuckle, and never responded to Roger's question again. call.

"...Okay, basically that's it." Roger put the staff back in frustration, and looked up at the still dumbfounded people, "I think, just like Jeffrey said, we I can't do anything, and I just want to tell you the truth—however, I think you probably need a while to calm down and think about it?"

Everyone looked at Roger and remained silent. Afterwards, they stood up quietly and left one after another. Soon, only Roger and Lycent were left.

"How? After listening to what Jeffrey said, you—" Roger paused, remembering what Jeffrey said before he left, maybe God is watching here, and changed the euphemism, "What do you have?" Thoughts?"

"A little bit, but it's vaguely not clear." Lacente stretched his arms, hugged Roger into his arms, and buried his head in the crook of his neck.Roger struggled reflexively, but quickly calmed down, allowing Lycent to lean against him, absorbing the warmth from his body.

Roger felt that although Lacente looked the same as before, he must also be touched and sad.

In order to prove to the "new king" that he was indeed working hard to put down the rebellion, and that it was the critical moment of the decisive battle, Lacente finally stopped showing mercy to Ain.Soon, Ain's rebel army retreated steadily in front of the army led by Laisant, and was conquered by Laisant with a large area of ​​territory, which was regarded as the most preliminary base.

The "new king" Alar and the second prince Rafael are also in full swing. The issue of the ownership of the throne is obviously more important than the eldest prince Laycent, who has long since faded out of the circle of competing for the throne. Sente was extremely dissatisfied with his attitude of not expressing his opinion and only watching the battle, but he couldn't spare his hands to teach him a good lesson.

At the same time, when the temple headed by Bishop Lawrence fully supported Raphael, a new temple force was quietly established in the territory of Laycent, and they parted ways with Bishop Lawrence due to conflicts of interests. A part of the high-level people of the temple.

No rule is perfect. Although the old rules have their disadvantages, they must have their correctness in being able to continue to operate for such a long time.The new god Ulysses radically wants to overthrow the entire rule, he does not hesitate to use conspiracy and tricks, and does not care how many people will be sacrificed, which will inevitably violate the interests of many people.

Lawrence is a fanatical believer of the new god Ulysses. He faithfully believes in his god and wants to establish a world of great harmony controlled by the gods. However, the human race has been free for too long, and they have become accustomed to not praying to the gods. Help, solve problems on your own.

Freedom breeds courage, but it also breeds ambition.Human beings hope to be able to control their own destiny and break free from God's shackles, instead of just curling up at his feet and serving as his docile flock.

Roger persuaded Lacent to accept this group of people who really turned their back on God even though they wore the clothes of priests.Not to rebel against the new god Ulysses, but to survive.

No matter who really ascended to the throne, whether it be Yalar or Raphael, Laisant's end will not be too optimistic. that location.And no matter how the new god Ulysses plans, the new king of the human race cannot do without the support of the temple.Now that Bishop Lawrence has chosen Raphael, Roger and the others will build a temple by themselves.

Of course, so far, this temple is still hidden, and it still belongs to the same camp as Lawrence on the surface. Roger is relieved that those who dare to challenge Bishop Lawrence are obviously not easy to get along with. Their subordinates also control the temple. With a large number of priests and paladins, they have a very high say in the temple.

In this way, once it really breaks with Lawrence, the temple forces supported by Roger will not be completely at a disadvantage.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is needed. When Laisant and others sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, carefully looking for an opportunity to counterattack, another bad news pierces their ears.

——The demons in the western lava field are about to move after learning of the chaos of the human race.

The demons have always coveted the rich continent for a long time, and every once in a while they will take advantage of the conflicts among other races to extend their greedy hands.Now, it is a similar reincarnation.

The invasion of the demons, although the first to be threatened by the civil strife is the human race, but similarly, the rest of the races cannot completely stand by - the demons are the enemies of all races.

"I want to go back to the elves and ask my father to fight against the demons!" Immediately after receiving the news, Theodore the elf prince got ready to go, and there was a trace of unbearable excitement in his words—now, he finally had the opportunity to justifiably Assisting Lacente, "The demons are the common enemy of all races. I think you should write to Yalar and Raphael, requesting a temporary cessation of civil strife and unanimity with the outside world."

"I'll also go back to the Sea Clan to find out their reaction." Gal smiled. "Although I don't have Theodore's appeal, I can still play a role."

"Thank you very much." Roger nodded, and made a promise, "I will let Lacent convince Prince Yalar to make a truce with His Royal Highness Rafael. I think they will take care of the overall situation."

"It's finally time to say goodbye. I'm very glad to have met you. This journey is an experience I will never forget." Theodore stepped forward and gave everyone a strong hug, with the sentimentality of parting in his blue eyes , "Hopefully we can meet again soon."

"It will definitely." Leon raised his hand, thumped his shoulder, and smiled heartily.

Theodore and Gall left, the old crisis has not yet passed, and a new war is coming.
