Chapter 960 "Gods"

The liquid in the oak cup rippled slightly, reflecting the golden dome of the temple hall and the pale golden shimmer that wandered between the columns and the paintings. Gawain held the oak cup with a faint smile on his face. After a few seconds, the "god" sitting across from him also smiled.

"Wonderful," he said with a smile, "you scared me."

"Because you scared me too," Gawain said calmly, "especially after seeing the 'truth' over Tallond."

Then he paused, and then continued: "In fact, even if I do this step, I can't guarantee that my card will be effective - I can only prepare everything, but there are always human beings in the world who can't prepare. variables. For example... I wasn't sure how deterrent those fall shocks would be to you, and I wasn't sure if you had the ability to directly read your memory and tamper with the instructions I sent... My only reliance is A 'god' like you can't directly manipulate the legacy of the sailor, can't intercept or tamper with my orders, and now the results are not bad."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and randomly took a piece of delicate-looking dessert from the table and put it in his mouth.

Slightly sweet, not greasy, and has a peculiar fragrance.

"Indeed... Even if I know your arrangement, I can't do anything with the legacy of the sailor... You have the element of gambling, but it's the right bet," the dragon god also held up the teacup in front of him and tasted it lightly. After taking a sip, she looked at Gawain, and said like an ordinary friend talking, "Ensure mutual destruction, even in the case of one party's extinction, to ensure that revenge measures can take effect automatically, an amazing idea—— You see, those dark believers are actually right to be afraid of you, there is a very scary mind beneath your splendid hero image, and I make a bold guess - this terrible thinking habit has something to do with your real 'hometown'?"

"Almost," Gawain said casually, "but I still feel that this world is much harsher than my hometown."

"If I can, I really want to see what the real hometown of your 'outlander' looks like," the Dragon God sighed, but then shook his head, "Well, it doesn't matter, the important thing is— If it really got to that point, would you really choose to destroy Tal Lund? You should realize by now how destructive those 'abandoned satellites' are when they crash, they are enough to destroy and contaminate a realm where the A lot of members... actually have a good relationship with you."

"So I'm very fortunate, it's just a deterrent after all." Gawain said calmly.

"...Yes," the Dragon God stared at Gawain for several seconds before slowly saying, "Keep this vigilant and decisive attitude. If you want to deal with gods in the future, then this attitude is absolutely necessary. Essential."

Gao Wen did not speak for a while,

He sorted out the sentence before suddenly looking up at the other party: "Are the dragons who fought against the 'gods' at the center of the Eternal Storm not vigilant and decisive enough?"

"They..." The Dragon God seemed to hesitate for a moment, and there was a complex look in his eyes, "They are very good, they have done a good job... It's a pity that they are a step late. They originally had a chance to succeed, but the belief of the whole civilization It has become too powerful to the point where it cannot be confronted head-on, and the rash confrontation in this situation has caused all the gods to descend and lose control at the same time..."

"All the gods come and go out of control at the same time?" Gawain frowned immediately, "Then how did these 'all gods' become your 'gods'? Why did they... fuse into you?"

When he asked these questions, he felt very strange, because the object he asked was the "gods" of the past, the target of the dragon's rebellion, and the biggest source of shadow and terror over Tallond. However, However, he had a feeling that the Dragon God would definitely answer himself, these seemingly rebellious questions, even what he had been looking forward to for a long time.

"...This is the result of mortals trying to break free from the chains," the Dragon God said in a deep voice, his eyes became very serious, and his eyes were even a bit scorching, "Remember, remember - no matter what For the mortal race, they have only one chance, and if they fail, they will face the same result as the dragon race. When the order of belief completely collapses, the relationship between gods and humans has crossed the extreme value of contradiction, and the chain has finally failed to break free. , something like this happens -

"The gods will merge into one, and the 'gods' will be the ultimate shackles.

"These 'gods' will be named after civilization, with all the history, culture, worship and fear of civilization as the skeleton, and the minds of all members of the civilization as the source of strength. The strength of the civilization as a whole will be as strong as the gods. ."

...

The terrifying roar and nightmarish whistling woke up many dragons living in the upper area. Even Speaker Andal, who had just fallen asleep, was also awakened by the unusual movement outside the hall.

This awesome primordial dragon raised his head from his "throne" entwined with countless pipes and cables, and heard the faint sound of thunder and storms still coming, and many of his fellow clans echoed in the neurosensing terminals He asked nervously and exclaimed. Driven by his anxiety, he immediately called out, "Omega! What happened outside?"

Omega's interface quickly lights up, accompanied by a mechanically synthesized voice: "The external monitor is being connected... It is an energy storm that is forming over the upper temple, and the energy level is still increasing."

Immediately afterwards, a clear surveillance image appeared on the surface of the largest crystal curtain in front of Andal. He saw the resplendent upper temple appear in the curtain, and the temple was surrounded by a more powerful pale golden halo than before. A terrifying cyclone hangs upside down above the temple - the cyclone is wrapped in scarlet fire and lightning, and the scale may even be larger than the entire mountain. It rotates, spreads, and continuously emits deafening roars and whistles. sound, and it's getting bigger every second!

Why does this terrifying natural phenomenon occur in Tal Lund? ! How could such a thing appear in this land protected by gods! ?

"Omega!" Speaker Andal called immediately, "Why isn't the weather controller responding?"

"The weather controller is functioning normally, this phenomenon is not on the alert list..." Omega responded quickly, but then its report was interrupted, "Special Contact - Speaker Andar, High Priest of Hragol to speak to you."

"Hragol?" Andal was stunned for a moment, then responded, "Connected."

The next second, the Omega interface on the side of the hall was replaced by the serious face of Heragor, and Andal turned his head: "Hragor, over there in the upper temple..."

"Everything is normal, nothing happened," the dragon priest on the interface said with a blank expression, "Tell everyone, just feel at ease."

The mechanical prosthetic eye in Speaker Andal's eye socket shone, and the mechanically controlled retractable structure moved slightly unconsciously: "Hragol, you..."

"Our lord is receiving guests," the Dragon Priest said slightly indifferently. "Your Excellency Speaker, nothing has happened - don't care about that cyclone, it will disappear, and tomorrow's Tallond will still be a clear sky."

After saying this, Heragor unilaterally hung up the communication without waiting for Andar's answer. After a brief noise screen, Omega's interactive interface reappeared on the crystal curtain on the side of the hall.

"Speaker Andar," Omega's voice woke Andar from a brief stunned stun, "Do you need to issue a disaster avoidance order?"

"...No, no need," Andal took a deep breath, shaking his head slowly, "Tell everyone, this is a temporary adjustment by the weather controller - there is no danger, nothing happened."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

...

"I seem to hear some movement outside." Gawain put down his glass, frowned slightly and looked towards the end of the hall, where there was an open balcony, but maybe due to the angle, he couldn't see much scenery from here.

"Don't worry about it," said the god sitting across from him indifferently, "it's just a little bit of wind."

"Okay, the wind, the wind in Tallond is always strong," Gawain glanced at the "god", shook his head indifferently, and then his expression became serious again, returning to the previous lethal In the topic that he could barely hold the cup in shock, "the gods...that is to say, as long as the 'disobedience' fails, the gods will definitely merge into one and become the 'gods'? How did this process happen? Is there any reason for that?"

"You really like to investigate the principle," Long Shen smiled and shook his head, "Unfortunately, I can't give you the answer..."

Gawain stared at the other party: "I don't know, or can't tell?"

"Neither know nor tell," said the dragon god, "although I am the result of the fusion of the 'gods', I do not know how it all happened, and I believe the truth behind the process goes beyond The 'limit' of our communication - even between you and me, there is some knowledge that cannot be easily communicated."

"Okay, I understand," Gawain nodded with a little regret, then he looked thoughtfully at the entrance of the hall, and looked at the place where Heragor was theoretically staying, "What about Heragor? What about it? You know... I have seen a dragon in human form in the center of the Eternal Storm, and I believe it is Herragol. Can you satisfy my curiosity about this?"

The Dragon God fell silent.

Just when Gawain thought this question was too sensitive and the other party would not answer, he heard the other party's voice suddenly sound: "Since you have seen it, you should be able to see that he once stood in the center of the battlefield and led the way. It's ironic, isn't it? The dragons rose up against the gods that were out of control. Now he is the highest priest in Tal Lond, serving Tal Lond's only and highest god."

Gao Wen's brows wrinkled again, he looked at the Dragon God, and his voice was low: "So this is some kind of 'punishment'? Is it a censure from the gods? Or... a simple 'bad taste'?"

Dragon God shook his head: "Neither, it's a transaction."

"trade?"

"Mortals choose to submit, and the gods end their judgment," the Dragon God said calmly. "This transaction needs a 'symbol', and Herragol is this symbol."

"that's it?"

"that's it."

"Okay, I see." Gawain nodded, indicating that this topic can end here.

"Perhaps we should talk about something light," the Dragon God smiled suddenly, his tone becoming as if he was talking about the weather and daily life, "you and your friends have been visiting Tal Lund for three days—I trust you I've seen a lot, and now, I want to hear your opinion."

"My opinion of Tallond?" Gawain raised his eyebrows, "Do you want to hear the truth?"

"If I want, I can hear countless gorgeous and sweet lies - I want to hear the truth, hear your 'outlander' from the heart."

Gawain looked into each other's eyes, and in those perfect eyes beyond ordinary people, he saw peace and nothingness.

"Deformed," he said, "prosperous and morbid, advanced and rotten, with no life under the raucous and bustling surface."

Dragon God nodded: "Spicy and direct evaluation."

"This is what I see," Gawain said. "How many years has Tal Lund been stagnant? Hundreds of thousands of years? A million years? Perhaps only such a long period of stagnation can explain everything I see. At first glance, I saw it's prosperous and advanced, and frankly it even shocked me, I almost thought it was an advanced society that had only appeared in fantasy - but as I saw its interior, it became more and more The more dark and sad things appear before my eyes...

"Tal Lund has been frozen, frozen in a technological framework developed to its limits, frozen in a rock-hard social structure, frozen in this... sanctuary you call the 'Eternal Cradle'. Frankly speaking , I even felt as if I was looking at a ruin when I looked at Tal Lund—a ruin that was running on its own."

When Gawain said the end, he finally couldn't help sighing: "This country is called the country of giant dragons, but the dragon family seems to have become the least needed thing here - whether it is the citizens of the lower Tarrond, The so-called upper-class citizens have actually been decoupled from the development of civilization, and this is the fact that I have seen.”

After hesitating again and again, he finally did not say the words "the ultimate stage of capitalism" in his mind.

After all, while Tal Lund's situation looked a lot like the stage he knew, he knew that the two were still fundamentally different - and that what led Tal Lund to what it is today is more complicated reason.

One of the reasons is even sitting right in front of him at the moment.

The Dragon God was silent for a long time this time, even to the extent that Gawain began to worry about whether he would throw the cup and call in five hundred axemen, but in the end he spoke up, and after a sigh, he appeared relieved 's expression: "To be able to make this kind of evaluation, you really looked at it very seriously."

"That's why I'm very curious now—" Gawain said in a deep voice, "What is the chain between gods and humans? How does it work, and how does it trap mortals and gods? Its power Where does it all come from? If we want to break free from it...what is the 'right' way to start?"
