Chapter 27 High stakes
"Nothing, I'm just passing by, you guys can keep going."
Blinking, blinking again, looking up at the sky in despair. Xiuer felt that the world was so dark and there was no hope in life.
But think about it carefully, huh? This is not the one I believe in. It is quite normal for the one I believe in, at least compared with this one. Sure enough, I feel much better when I think about it. As for this one, well, let the wood elves have a headache.
"Well, I'm just polite, please don't take it seriously." Seeing that the arrival of Annika was suspected of being Annika, Wu was really planning to turn back and continue chatting. Shuer sighed in a tangled manner, "In response to the call of the forest, the follower of the lightless moon, Shuer Wright, the priest of the goddess of dark moon, came to see Lord Annika, wishing the forest evergreen and flowers never wither."
"Oh, it's you. I said why is there a human being at my feet? What are you doing?"
You really forgot, Sul was too lazy to say anything.
"Ah, I remembered that I asked you to come. You are the friend of Moria, the child."
"Moriya, when did you go out of the forest to play? Is it still fun?"
"By the way, humans, I heard that Luna's Archbishop has returned to her kingdom of gods. Now he has changed to an Archbishop. Is it true?"
As a goddess, there is almost no correlation between the three problems, and it is hard to imagine how amazing logic it can connect them in consciousness.
"Thanks to Lord Anika for your concern. Four years ago, Archbishop Summer had returned to the Dark Moon. Now Archbishop Lisa is in charge of the Lord's power."
In any case, Shuer always maintained enough politeness, and his words and deeds were completely in line with church rituals, making it impossible to find out the problem.
After all, I am facing a god who is beyond the mortal understanding ability. No matter what the other party's attitude is, it is always right to maintain respect. As for the other party's attitude, Archbishop Minnie had actually reminded him in advance before the gods arrived. Xiuer was not surprised, but he was a little... well, embarrassed.
"You, you are as boring as those wood elves, and not as fun as my children at all." The goddess of the forest was really casual. She curled her lips with Archbishop Minnie's appearance, bent her legs and lie on the ground. She was extremely skillful in her movements. From this, it is not necessarily believed that this is not her original form.
"Ha." The fingers were drawn on the chest, and Shuer chuckled and bowed, "As a servant of the lightless moon, he always represents the dignity of my Lord. Naturally, I cannot be rude. I hope Lord Anika understands it. But Lord Anika please feel free. My Lord is easy-going and will not mind your attitude."
"Okay, Dark Moon's child, you can barely be considered a qualified priest." Anica waved her hand casually, "Tested to this point, come and sit."
"Thank you for your gift from Goddess." Of course, you should be more respectful at other people's homes. No matter how casual the host is, the guests cannot be complacent. Therefore, Shuer sat formally in front of the goddess of the forest, lowering his head slightly, "I don't know what instructions did the goddess summon me this time."
"You really don't know? It's meaningless for mortals to lie to gods. Maybe someone can hide it from the gods' sight, but you probably can't do it."
"Mr. Anika, I'm not lying." If an ordinary mortal, or even an ordinary priest, faced the gods, I'm afraid I would have been so nervous that I couldn't even say anything. However, Shur has never been an ordinary person. Even under the natural pressure of divinity, he could still smile calmly, "I really don't know, 'My lord, what are your instructions,'"
"Ha, word game, it seems that Luna has found a very cunning servant this time, which is much more flexible than the brains I have seen four thousand years ago." Annika looked up and down at Shul with interest. Of course, this was just an appearance made with the body of the world. In fact, if she wanted to see, she didn't need to use her eyes at all. "I heard Little Moria mention you, Luna's combat priest. I said to Luna twenty thousand years ago that if she didn't change her thoughts, she might die at any time. Sure enough, just twenty thousand years ago, she had already reached the verge of sleep several times. Haha, you are not the first person to revive Luna's ragged church, and probably not the last one."
"The will of the Lord is what we believers wish. Since serving the Lightless Moon, we will naturally be loyal to our Lord and do our best to restore our Lord's church." Xiu said with a smile, "Sometimes, as long as the method is right, even if our Lord does not change anything, there is no chance to restore the Dark Moon Temple."
"For example, what you are doing now?" At this time, Anika was completely different from the one who had just arrived. She no longer had her original flying and jumping, and she acted like a wise and powerful god. Thinking about Moria's past performance, it seems that even the Lin Jings are so similar to the Forest Goddess.
"Praise my Lord and show loyalty to the lightless moon, so naturally I dare not slackew at all times."
"It's really interesting to praise Dark Moon in front of me." Anica waved to Moria, called her to her side, and said, touching her long hair, "I have received the gift you gave me."
"In the name of Dark Moon, I offer a gift to the Lord of the Forest, I hope Lord Anika will like it."
"Well, I really like it. Although that strange seed is of no practical use to me, I have seen a unique path from it. For me, this kind of expansion of thinking is precious. The gods do not need to hide it from you, so I don't mind telling you that the ideas obtained from that seed are enough to expand my kingdom of God by half. In a few hundred years, my strength can also increase by at least 10%. Haha, you are equivalent to establishing a strong enemy for your god. How are you feeling now?"
"Ha, Lord Anika has never been an enemy of my Lord, I am absolutely sure of this." Shur was not scared at all and said leisurely, "Since Lord Anika likes this gift, my Lord can rest assured."
"Don't worry about it for now. I'm not referring to Luna, but you. Don't worry about it for now. I have two questions to ask you."
"Awaiting for the inquiry of the Lord of the Forest."
"First, I asked Little Moria carefully. Although she didn't know many things herself, she was sure that you planned to let her carry them since you knew this seed and then she gave them to me. That's right."
"Mr. Anika's wisdom is enough..."
"Stop, it's not the oracle that comes now, and you are not the one who receives the commandment, so don't talk so much nonsense."
"Okay." Shure nodded with a smile, "You are right, I have indeed planned this."
"I don't need to ask about how you make sure that seeds can bring back these common sense things. I just want to know, how dare you bring back the seeds?"
A very simple question, but also very sharp. The key is that Shuer, who is used to pre-deduction plans, never thought that the other party would ask such a question, and couldn't help but be stunned.
"I know all your experiences in overlapping spaces. The experiences of those creatures have clearly shown the danger of this seed. If you are not careful, it is enough to destroy the billions of creatures added to Pavatti. You know all of these, but you still bring it back. I need to know your thoughts."
"It has no effect on you. Although you also need faith, even if it spreads, the newly born plant has its own ideas and can still be used for you..."
"Answer my question, Dark Moon's waiter." Anika's attitude was obviously very serious.
"Why don't you dare? If it can break through the rules of the space barrier, it doesn't matter whether I take it or not. If it can't do it, it will not be able to come alive." Shur said lightly, "And even if it really comes alive, it's nothing. Haha, there is also you, the Lord of the Forest, where any plant added by Pavatti can't escape your sight as long as it exists. For example, this alien species that has not become a climate, you just need to say 'You shouldn't exist' and they will disappear completely. What else can I worry about?"
"I had already anticipated that your answer was indeed consistent with your characteristics, but can you be sure? Can you be 100% sure that I can do all this and am willing to do all this?"
The pupils shrank slightly, and Shuer did not answer. The lies were meaningless in front of the gods. He was indeed unable to be absolutely sure.
"I understand, you are gambling." The goddess of the forest sighed very humanely, "bet with the lives of all the creatures in Pavatiga."
"When the winning rate is higher than a limit, gambling is no longer considered gambling, Goddess. No one can guarantee that one can succeed 100% by doing something. Everything a mortal does is actually gambling, it is just a matter of the winning rate and the quality of the result. It turns out that I am the winner of this gambling, which is enough, isn't it?"
"This is not the idea that a priest who serves the gods should have, but more like the dirty politicians among the mortals."
"Ha, maybe I'm dirty enough." Shure smiled self-deprecatingly.
"I don't like your idea, I don't like it very much. I don't think Anyue doesn't like it either. In terms of her attitude towards life in the world, we have never had any differences for millions of years, so she actually agreed to your plan, which was beyond my expectations."
After a moment of silence, a smile appeared on Shuer's face: "My Lord..."
"Sure enough, she didn't know at all." The facts proved once again that lies are meaningless, and gods have too many ways to distinguish the authenticity of language. "Everything you did, you didn't tell her at all."
"Haha." Xiuer had nothing to say and could only smile bitterly. Sure enough, is the god's idea completely different from that of a normal person?
"The first question is here. Don't worry about the result. This is not an assessment, it's just a question. There is no so-called passing or not, it just satisfies my curiosity. Now I ask you, talk to me directly through the gift, and then make some requests to me. This is probably your plan. Now, due to the accident of seeds, the plan has been implemented in advance."
"Yes." This time Shuer became smart and didn't say a single word.
“如果没有这个意外的话,你想必有其他的方式接近我,只是时间不是现在而已.那么第二个问题,想和我直接对话,对你来说最方便的途径,就是通过小莫瑞娅实现,所以我想知道,你让她把你当做朋友,是为了利用她吗?”
