181. An Unexpected Encounter with the Goddess Wife (1/2)
The edge of heaven's dawn.
On the edge of the huge floating island is an endless wheat field. This is an agricultural area far away from Yaojin City. It is quiet and remote. Among the golden sea of wheat rippling in the wind, only the familiars raised by farmers pass by occasionally.
After driving away the star servants who were serving her, the God Princess came here quietly alone, walked through the wheat fields, and came to the cliff that reached to the surface of the earth.
Here, the God Princess said nothing, silently overlooking the scenery outside the kingdom of heaven, enjoying the precious tranquility.
Whenever the God Princess wanted to be alone, she would come here, sit in front of the deserted wheat field, and look at the mortal land under the clouds.
This is a desolate no-man's land. Not only is there an abyss that will inevitably lead to death, but there are also predators from the sea of clouds that attack from time to time.
For the elves in heaven,
This is the end of the dangerous world.
However, it was only here that the white-haired star spirit did not have to be surrounded by crowds of admirers, deal with those over-protective star attendants, and endure the idiot who chose him and his colleagues because he was blind. .....
"well......"
The God Princess sighed.
At this moment, the starry sky elf completely lost the majesty of the otherworldly and holy goddess in the past. Just like all mortals, she turned the accumulated stress at work into a long and helpless sigh, showing her exhaustion.
Below the kingdom of heaven, there are endless clouds. The mayflies that live in the clouds will occasionally emerge from the clouds, revealing their light and translucent huge bodies.
If she is lucky and catches a sky without clouds, then the God Princess will have the opportunity to see the ground world below the kingdom of heaven.
That piece of land is called "Mortal" by the civilization here.
That is the surface of this planet, and it is also the land that the God Princess has never been able to set foot on in her life.
Originally, the protoss should land on that land, looking for heroes worthy of assistance, giving them the power from the stars to fight against threats that also come from the stars.
The God Princess is not clear about the long history, but ever since those floating islands appeared in the sky of the mortal world, the fate of the star elves seems to have become a little different.
When this group of high elves living in heaven understood the secrets of the starry sky, they began to capture the star-falling beings from outside the sky, either to study them, to worship them, or to annihilate them...
And the God Princess is one of them,
As a goddess who contains the pure power of the stars, the high elves regard her as the embodiment of the power of the stars, regard her as a worshiped god, and stay in heaven to worship her.
This kind of thing also happened to her mother and another senior.
Originally, the God Princess didn't mind this. After all, her mission was to help people in this world fight against the Demon Star.
Although the high elves will intercept fallen protoss, they are indeed the front line against Yuanji.
therefore,
Even if the high elves don't take the initiative to cut off the evil spirits, the protoss will still choose to cooperate with the high elves after all.
This cooperation model has lasted for two generations with excellent results.
In this mortal world that has lost the protection of the gods, relying on the hand-in-hand work of the Star Spirits and the High Elves, the mortal world has twice withstood the erosion of Yuanji, and Yuanji did not even have a chance to touch the earth.
but now......
The God Princess raised her head and looked at the sky with a sad look on her face.
At this time, the sky was getting brighter, and the sunlight blocked the brilliance of the stars, but even so, when the God Princess looked up at the sky, she could still see a magical light spot, which was dazzling.
The high elves are not allowed to look up at the sky, because these mortals, who have long relied on the power of the stars, are the most vulnerable to being eroded by the silence.
There are some truths that the Star Court has never announced to the public. ,
In fact, the starry sky magic mastered by the high elves has the same origin as Yuanji.
Even the God Princess...
The God Princess sighed.
If this continues, can we really win?
The Demonic Star continues to approach, but the elves in the heaven are still in chaos. The major heavens are seriously divided, and there may even be a civil war.
And the only god-king who can mediate disputes and unite all high elves is a pure fool.
It's terrible...
Thinking of the God King she had chosen, the God Princess had a headache.
She regretted that she believed in the experiences of her predecessors and thought that the high elves were a group of reliable allies. When she first came to the mortal world, she faced the most powerful king of heaven who was carefully selected by the high elves. The moment he touched her , but was exploded by Shuo Xing who failed to synchronize, and when she lost half of her life... the God Princess hesitated for a moment, instead of immediately turning around and running away, jumping to the mortal world.
He is militaristic, loves great achievements, has excessive self-esteem, and regards the protoss as his props...
The only reason why the God Princess still has the energy to work with him is probably that this guy does have a sincere heart to defend the kingdom of heaven and protect the mortal world, and he is also working hard for this.
Although he is dull, he is not bad at heart.
It's amazing that just this most basic quality of a human king makes him much better than other kings of heaven...
The situation in heaven today is very difficult to describe.
Not only is the God King mediocre, but also the lords of the heavenly kingdoms are all strangely mediocre.
For example, the fall of Caldera, which was previously invaded by the Nether Realm, was due to the king of heaven pursuing pleasure, leading his people to abandon the belief in the starry sky, accepting the blessing of the ancient dragon princess, and turning to the embrace of the evil god. He deceived the God King and pretended that nothing happened, while secretly preparing for war.
If it hadn't been for the timely intervention of the imperial army from Haiyin, Caldera's catastrophe would never have ended with the destruction of a kingdom of heaven.
Such incidents occur endlessly among the high elves.
Continue like this......
Can the high elves really regain the glory of the past two thousand years and once again repel the evil will hidden in the magic star?
If they can't,
So who else has the strength and willingness to stand up and fight against the Demon Star?
The God Princess has no answer...
She could only hope that when danger really came, the high elves would remember their mission.
And at this time,
The God Princess suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from behind her.
The movement didn't seem to be caused by an agricultural familiar.
Anyone?
The God Princess turned her head and looked.
As a result, she saw an unexpected visitor.
A figure in the distance walked across the field path and walked towards the God Princess.
It was an extraordinary young man, a human being, with unusually handsome appearance and a pair of deep eyes that had a thrilling charm.
When she saw that person, the God Princess trembled slightly in her heart.
He is Prince Hein,
Rhine Hein.
The other party seemed to be passing by by chance, and he was a little surprised when he noticed the God Princess.
"Your Highness the Concubine..."
Lain said respectfully: "I didn't expect to see the Divine Princess of Chenxi here. If I disturb you, I will leave now..."
The God Princess quickly stopped Rhine. As a distinguished guest, she represented the Kingdom of Heaven and should entertain him well. Now that the prince wanted to come to the outskirts of the Kingdom of Heaven to see the scenery, she certainly couldn't let him down.
only......
The God Princess looked at Rhine and asked curiously:
"Your Highness Rhine, the outer reaches of the Kingdom of Heaven are very dangerous and should not be approached. Why is Your Highness coming here?"
Didn't anyone warn the prince after he visited Chenxi?
Rhine smiled: "I do know the dangers at the edge of the Kingdom of Heaven. However, the threats here are only those sons of Leviathan who occasionally come to the Kingdom of Heaven to prey. They are just ordinary beasts, comparable to the threats in the stars and the underground. It shouldn’t be anything compared to that, right?”
Princess God: "Your Highness is right..."
The God Princess could tell that the Prince of the Rhine seemed surprisingly knowledgeable about the Kingdom of Heaven.
The God Princess stood up and said, "If His Highness Rhine doesn't mind, can I accompany His Highness for a walk?"
Of course Rhine couldn't agree: "How can I let the goddess condescend to accompany me?"
The God Princess smiled and shook her head. She walked to Lain and said, "Actually... I just wanted to apologize to you for yesterday's unpleasantness. It was because of our poor arrangements for the banquet."
Rhine immediately expressed his understanding for the God Princess's apology.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Next, a prince and a concubine walked together on the wheat field, chatting happily.
Rhine was knowledgeable, gentle, and his conversation was full of wisdom and philosophy. At the same time, the prince was full of respect for the God Princess, but without excessive awe. When getting along with him, the God Princess felt very comfortable.
He is worthy of being the successor of the most powerful empire in the world.
It can be seen from his words and deeds that this Prince Hein is indeed an outstanding person.
If compared with the god king she assisted...
Ah......
It’s okay not to compare.
"Speaking of..."
After chatting for a while, the God Princess finally couldn't help her curiosity and asked Rhine:
"Your Highness Rhine, you seem to know a lot about the situation in heaven?"
Rhine smiled: "I only know a little bit. After all, the mission I was sent to the Kingdom of Heaven by the Queen Mother is to help you fight against the devil star outside the sky. I always have to do my homework before visiting, right?"
"so......"
The God Princess hesitated to speak: "Are the words His Highness said at the banquet last night the result of your homework?"
Rhine: "Are you saying that I suspect that the erosion of Yuanji has penetrated into the interior of the morning sun?"
"Yes!"
The God Princess nodded vigorously: "I want to know what your highness, Her Royal Highness, is?"
"I can't call it Gao Jian. This is actually just some speculation on my part."
Rhine showed a worried look: "Your Highness, when I was reading the history of the high elves in recent years, I found that about twenty years ago, a plague broke out among the major heavenly kingdoms."
Rhine: "The plague killed a large number of people, but most importantly, it took away many of the people in power at the time, as well as their successors."
Rhine said: "Normally, the princes and their heirs living in the palace have a good living environment, and there are a large number of star attendants who can use spells to respond to the plague. The plague should not affect the royal family, and this The same is true in the mortal world."
Princess Goddess: "So Your Highness thinks there is something fishy about this plague?"
Rhine: "What's strange is the follow-up. This sudden plague took away almost all the famous wise kings at that time, as well as their heirs who had high hopes. This plague was so weird, it was like a war that used the plague as a smoke bomb. A large-scale assassination operation, but even so... not many people in the entire heaven discussed the matter, and no one investigated after the incident. "
Rhine's expression was serious.
"It wasn't until this moment that I realized that the internal problems in the Kingdom of Heaven were probably very serious."
That's right...that's right...
Looking at Lain's face, at that moment, the God Princess was moved.
After all these years... finally someone, like her, noticed the problems in the Kingdom of Heaven.
However, after Rhine finished speaking, he looked at the God Princess and showed an awkward smile: "But what I just said is just a little gossip between me and Her Highness the God Princess. Please don't tell others..."
As the prince of Hein,
Rhine was not in a position to say much about the household affairs of heaven.
The God Princess nodded in assurance and showed a friendly smile to Rhine: "Your Highness and I have the same worries, so you can speak freely with me, Your Highness Rhine."
Rhine first thanked the God Princess, and then he sighed tiredly.
Just like the God Princess who just lamented to the sea of clouds, Rhine also showed helplessness and fatigue at this time.
Lai Yin said softly: "Your Highness, the situation in the country is critical now, and internal and external troubles are very serious. But, Your Highness, I hope you can believe me. I am the prince of Hai Yin. I am as anxious about the current situation as you are. My The country shoulders the mission of guarding the balance of the world. This mission sometimes has a negative effect on civilization, but at least today, my sister and I are in the Kingdom of Heaven. The only thing we want to do is to help the Kingdom of Heaven withstand the distant future. "Silent offensive."
"The Kingdom of Heaven has repelled the invasion of the demonic stars twice in succession, silently bearing the pressure on behalf of the mortal nations. However, now that the Kingdom of Heaven is weakening under the conspiracy of the enemy, other countries on the surface may be able to sit back and do nothing, but only Du Haiyin must intervene, must help the Kingdom of Heaven, and defend the mortal world.”
What Rhine said was true.
Coming from the depths of the universe, the demon star named "Far Silence" is a threat to the entire mortal world.
These threats, in the early days of the Sixth Age, were combated by the mortal gods, as well as by Order and her angels of punishment.
Later, as order swept across the mortal world, destroyed the elven gods, cooperated with Mercy to release the sub-gods, and forced the high elves into the sky,
The high elves have become the front line in fighting against the Demon Star and protecting the mortal world.
Although the high elves fled the earth to avoid the sub-gods, this behavior was often criticized and ridiculed by the races on the earth.
But in fact, as the most outstanding intelligent creatures in the world, elves have always been full of martial virtue and extremely intelligent.
In the past two thousand years, there were many talented people and heroes in the heavenly kingdom that fought against the Far Silence. With their sense of heroism, the star elves could easily select the strongest warriors and select the best leaders for the high elves. In the name of marriage, , entrusting the authority of the Star Goddess to this hero without reservation, giving him the absolute legitimacy to be crowned the King of the High Elves.
The goddess concubine and the god king cooperated and relied on the powerful shining star weapon to lead the united Elf Heaven to repel the invasion of the demon star twice in a row.
Although the high elves intercepted Hu Xingling and forced people to choose a husband among the high elves, it was not a martial virtue.
But basically, this can be regarded as a wish between you and me. After all, everyone has a common enemy.
Today's concubine originally thought that she would follow the same path as her predecessors, use the same script, and once again repel the evil will in the Demon Star.
But... times have changed.
Rhine was telling his thoughts, and suddenly he noticed the God Princess beside him, looking at him intently.
Rhine was stunned: "Your Highness the Concubine...why are you looking at me like that?"
"No, it's nothing, I'm just...a little happy."
The God Princess looked at Rhine and said softly.
She was not a sentimental person, but at this moment, after being stuck in this quagmire of loneliness and erosion for ten years, she... saw hope for the first time.
Princess God: "Your Highness Rhine, I think you are right, and I agree with you."
The God Princess sighed: "The situation of these high elves has become increasingly strange. I have tried to do something, but it has been difficult to achieve results, and the God King... He does not believe my words at all."
Rhine smiled:
"You stand too high, and your every move is watched by countless people, and you will easily become the target of public criticism."
"As for His Majesty the God King, if there is really a group of people with ulterior motives in the Kingdom of Heaven, then they will be the first to control them... Well, cough cough, I made a mistake."
Although Rhine did not finish his words, the God Princess already understood his thoughts.
That's right, that's right...
At this moment, the God Princess recalled what she had seen and heard in the palace in the past ten years. Just as Rhine said, some ministers with ulterior motives have been trying to control the God King in secret to achieve certain goals... ...
She has talked about these things with her chosen God King many, many, many times!
but......
The God Princess's reminders were all ignored by the God King, which even made the God King wary and disgusted with her.
Why can't the man he chose be as smart as Rhine? See through the plot of those enemies?
If the God-King of the Kingdom of Heaven was a hero like this Rhine prince, how could the Kingdom of Heaven be reduced to this?
At this moment, the eyes of the God Princess gradually brightened.
Rhine is talented, and he is well aware of the mission on his shoulders, and is willing to stand up and represent the civilization on earth to fight against the invasion from outside.
Yes......
Perhaps this Prince Hein is the hope of fighting against evil in this world...
for a time,
The God Princess smelled the charming fragrance that intoxicated her again.
"By the way...Your Highness Rhine, it may be a bit abrupt to say this."
The God Princess looked at Rhine and asked sheepishly:
"Did you wear any perfume on your body?"
"perfume?"
Lain was stunned for a moment: "At the banquet yesterday, the servants used some for me. What's wrong?"
Princess God: “What about now?”
Rhine showed a wry smile: "I went to a friend's house to drink last night and stayed up all night. When I went out today, I didn't take care of myself."
"Yeah......"
In other words...Rhine is not wearing perfume today, right?
Everything the God Princess thinks about.
Lain did not wear perfume, but the fragrance that intoxicated the God Princess did not dissipate.
Still strong,
It seemed to be tempting her.
Uh-huh...
The God Princess coughed twice quickly to get rid of the weird thoughts in her mind.
At this moment, this noble concubine was very shy due to the strange impulse in her mind.
She quickly returned to the topic.
During the short conversation, the God Princess had a general understanding of Rhine's personality... personable, ambitious, sober, rational, and wise.
Having such a hero join the camp against Yuanji will definitely bring about a huge turn for the Kingdom of Heaven, which is constantly falling into decline!
"Your Highness Rhine, to be honest, I am very touched. You and your country are the strong support that the Kingdom of Heaven dreams of."
The God Princess looked moved: "I don't know if I can assist you? If there is anything that is beyond my ability, please give me your instructions, Your Highness."
"I appreciate Her Majesty's kindness."
Rhine showed an awkward smile:
"But... isn't the person the Divine Concubine should be assisting, His Majesty the Divine King?"
well?
ah?
yes......
The God Princess suddenly came to her senses and couldn't help showing a slightly sad smile: "Your Highness is right..."
Just as Rhine said, she was once a star spirit, but now she is a concubine.
Theoretically,
She is the woman of the God King and should be devoted to her husband.
As a divine princess, how could she say "please order me" to other men?
Rhine smiled and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, the Divine Concubine, just concentrate on assisting His Majesty the Divine King and serve as his sharp blade to help him fight against the invasion of the demon star. As for the potential problems of the kingdom now, I will try my best to solve them."
The God Princess can understand what Rhine means...
The Kingdom of Heaven regards the God Princess as their goddess, and the various dogmas spread in the Kingdom of Heaven are filled with all kinds of reverence for the God Princess, and the almost paranoid protection of the God Princess.
As an outsider in Rhine, he naturally did not dare to offend the concubine too much.
I'm afraid, just meeting the concubine in private has already made this gentle, intelligent and kind-hearted prince feel panic.
Just like that, the conversation between the two ended.
Rhine stopped disturbing the Divine Princess, apologized to the Divine Princess again, and left immediately.
However, looking at Rhine who suddenly appeared and left in a hurry...
Obviously I met a good man and saw some hope for the revitalization of the Kingdom of Heaven.
But for some reason, I recalled the time at the end of the conversation when the concubine’s request was politely rejected by Rhine.
The mood of the Godly Princess is a bit complicated...
As long as I help the God King, can I complete my mission...
Is that really the case...
I really,
Can this continue...
