Chapter 23 Change the tragedy
Over the years, Shuer and Moria have traveled through many worlds, and they are well-informed. They have also seen many planets in various worlds, including high temperatures, low temperatures, ferocious beasts, and grass that are not growing. They make people heavy and difficult to move, and can easily leap into the air, so that they feel that no matter what type of planet they see, they will no longer be surprised.
However, this time, the two were still shocked because no matter what, they did not expect that the one that appeared in front of them was a pure wooden planet.
The sight in the crack space was not far away, so until the planet was only a few hundred kilometers away from the two, the two discovered its existence. A wooden ball close to Pavatiga suddenly appeared in front of the two. The huge body size brought extremely powerful shock, which made the two unable to help but take a few steps back. However, even so, they could not see the overall picture of the planet clearly, and they could not relieve the pressure brought by the body shape.
This is a wooden planet, or rather, it was originally a towering tree.
Thousands or even tens of thousands of kilometers long roots are mixed in the crack space. Although they have nowhere to take root and are exposed in the space, each root is still firm. Of course, there are trunks above the roots, and they should be enough to penetrate the sky. However, the two of them could not see it because the too dense canopy has completely covered the trunk.
The diameter of the tree crown is thousands or even nearly ten thousand kilometers. Only a world without neutrality, such as fissure space, can such a huge tree crown exist. Branches of different thicknesses twist and coil together, hanging down from the top of the tree in all directions, completely wrapping the trunks in all directions. What is wrapped is not one layer, but layer by layer, with branches stacked layer by layer, entangled and connected to each other, like an almost solid wooden sphere, hovering in the air.
There are no leaves, only branches with uncalculable diameters are exposed to the sight of the two people. The trunks on the trunks should have belonged to the normal patterns of the bark, but after being magnified countless times, they become rugged on the ground.
There is no need for explanation, Sul and Moria also understood. No wonder Lord Anika said that she had found her own body and indeed found it, because this wooden planet is actually half of Lord Anika's body. There is no doubt that for various reasons, another Lord Anika turned herself into a planet and slept in the crack space for thousands of years.
"Well, it turns out that your mother is also..." Shul suddenly stopped. Well, the desire to survive is extremely strong. Moria dared to talk nonsense at the time because Lord Luna was not here. Even if she found out later, she would not be as familiar with her. However, Anika is not Lord Luna. This oldest Lin Jing has to cause trouble. How could she be as gentle and kind as Lord Luna? If she really said something she shouldn't say... Uh, Shul suddenly felt a chill.
"Luna is not here, no matter how flatter you flatter you, she will not know, and she will not be able to save you." Behind her, the gloomy thoughts of a certain goddess came, "You must have been enlightened if you dare to think so."
"Praise the Lord of the Forest, I'm wrong, please forgive me." Shur almost cried and said with a bitter face, "Look, you found the other half, this is a big event worth celebrating. If nothing unexpected happens, the sacred day of the Botanical Temple will be one more day in the future. Such an important festival will cause a bloody crime. You said it is right, so..."
"Stop talking nonsense." Lord Anika was obviously in a good mood and didn't bother to pay attention to Shul's offense as a ball. He looked at his half body through Moria's eyes. After a long silence, he suddenly said, "Do you know, even a month ago, I never believed that you really had the ability to welcome my half body and entrust the task to you, but you really had no choice but to try it."
"Oh, of course that's the case." Shure said with his eyes narrowed, "If you say you trust my abilities and believe that I can succeed, then I will find it strange."
"You are very good, I'm not joking, you are really good." Anika glanced at Shure deeply, "I owe you a favor, not Luna, but you mortal."
"All glory belongs to my Lord, Lord Anika." Shur circled his fingers on his chest, "I am the apostle of the Dark Moon, the Lord's intention, that is, my intention, praise the Dark Moon, holy."
"Little guy, these little tricks have been used by thousands of apostles on me, and each one is more than once. Do you think it will work for me? Since I say I owe you favors, it is only for you. For Luna, we will calculate it separately." Anica paused, "Tell me, what kind of repayment you want, as long as I can do it, I will do my best to meet your requirements."
This is a very scary promise. The gods made such a promise to mortals. At least recorded history, it has never appeared. This is not a reward given by the gods, but a real effort. Even if Sul said that he wanted Anika to help him replace a certain god and become one of the main gods of Pavatiga, Anika would have a great chance of helping him with all his might. Whether he could do it is one thing, but at least he would not be perfunctory. With such a promise, any mortal can be considered to have entered the realm of the gods.
However, Shuer did not make any requests, but instead showed a faint smile, not a sarcastic smile, but a smile that is difficult to understand. With a faint smile, Shuer thought slowly: "Mr. Anika, is it still a little too early to say these things? Shouldn't we go there first, wake up your half of your body from your sleep, restore you to complete, and then discuss topics such as reward? Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, your hope is vain and the reward is vain, I will be happy in vain."
"No, there is no need to change the topic and delay time." How could Lord Anika not see Shur's thoughts? "Since I have made a promise, even if there is an accident, I will not take it back, so... just say it, what do you want? Or do you want to tell me that you are trying hard to complete my task, really just for the small benefit you agreed with me before? As long as you dare nod, I dare to take it seriously."
Of course, Shuer didn't dare to nod, just kidding, how could he see the benefits of his hand fly away? This is a good opportunity that is rare in a thousand years. It is the same for the church and himself. The opportunity was completely exchanged for him with his brain and life. If he really missed it, he would probably wake up from sleep.
However, the more such an opportunity, the more calm he was. After a while of silence, Shuer smiled and thought, "The only thing I want is to stand on my Lord's side no matter what happens."
"I said, Shul, what I asked about 'you', I will negotiate with Luna's business, I just want to know your wishes now." Anika's tone was a little dissatisfied, as if she was blaming Shul for wasting her spirit, "Do you think my promise is worthless, huh?"
"It seems you misunderstood. Lord Anika, what I said is what 'I' want, not what I want for my Lord." Shur also became serious and his attitude was unprecedentedly serious. "This is my true thought. I hope you can always stand on the side of my Lord."
"You are indeed serious." Anika withdrew her gaze, but the doubts in her consciousness did not fade. "Can you tell me the reason? I can see that you are indeed for her, but you also have your own selfishness."
"I do have selfish intentions." Xiu hesitated for a while, subconsciously looked around, and thought with a wry smile, "I once had a very terrible dream."
"Um?"
"In the dream, the internal part of the gods of Pavatiga broke and rekindled the war. The war ended with the fall of my Lord, and indirectly led to the final destruction of the world. Everything was out of control. Although I don't know the reason, it would not be a good thing no matter how I think about it." Shur talked to others for the first time that he never forgot his nightmare. "In any case, I don't want to see that scene happen in reality."
"Oh? It seems that in your dream, I am standing opposite Luna?"
"Yes, you are standing on the other side." Shur subconsciously glanced at Anika. Anika felt that Shur was looking at him, but only Shur himself knew who he was looking at. "I don't know if that was the warning from my Lord, the occasional foresight dream, or the unreasonable nightmare brought by random thoughts. These are not important. I just hope to fundamentally prevent it from happening. Oh, no matter whether it is true or not, as long as things in the dream will not happen, what do you think?"
"I understand." Anica thought for a moment, nodded thoughtfully, "I can always stand on Luna's side, I can't guarantee that I can only do my best, but I can guarantee you that I will never let Moriya stand opposite you. Hey, this is your real purpose."
"Oh, praise the evergreen tree." Shure's smile was bright, "I am extremely grateful for your generosity and kindness."
"As it turns out, I'm very worried. If you really join us, it will be a big trouble." Anika glared at Shul and said unhappily, "The reward is paid, you are satisfied. Now it's time to talk about my half-body problem."
"This..." Xiuer was stunned, "Is there anything wrong?"
"Do you know, Shur, plants are never lonely." Anika's words sound unclear, so "the denser the tree is, the more it is. Its interior is sometimes a miniature world, inhabiting countless lives."
"Huh?" Shul understood, raised his eyebrows and said, "The same is true now?"
"Look."
