High in the sky, the place of the gods, the Gate of the Moon, the Holy White Courtyard.
This is the kingdom of the gods, the domain of the gods.
In the kingdom and even the entire crystal wall system, gods are high-dimensional beings that are higher than mortals. No matter they are strong or weak, they all manage their corresponding concepts of existence and operate with various blends and confrontations.
Everything in the universe.
Each god has at least one priesthood and is responsible for promoting the ideals of that priesthood.
However, it is never the priesthood that determines the way a god acts. How to perform the duties of the priesthood depends on how the god understands it.
For example, the former Sun God Amaunata's understanding of the sun was majesty, lawfulness, justice and regularity, and belonged to the lawful neutral camp. When this ancient sun god fell for various reasons, Lathander, the Lord of the Dawn,
The sun's understanding has become hope, growth, dreams, growth, prosperity and a better future, and the alignment is classified as neutral and good.
At this time, in the courtyard composed of two holy white trees, beside the soft and translucent pond glowing with the brilliance of the moon, a visiting god broke the tranquility that belonged exclusively to the Silver Virgin.
The image that the visitor created for himself was that of a middle-aged man whose whole body was covered with scars. His body was covered with criss-crossing horrific wounds. His lean and short body was hunched and wretched. His arms were wrapped with red ropes, and his legs were covered with scars.
Already lame, the half-naked visitor only wore a few pieces of cloth around his waist and was slightly bald on the top of his head.
This image is very special, because when most gods shape their own images, they always like to choose their own representative image or the image they like in their hearts.
The visitor did not come for a casual chat. From the first moment he arrived, a quarrel broke out between the two parties.
"No, never, Ilmat, I don't care what you say, my answer is only - never." The goddess's sullen voice expressed her extreme unwelcome to the visitor: "He is my child, my child
!”
"Silver Holy Mother, I have always respected you, and I always believe that you will be an important force on our side."
The visitor's voice was full of fatigue, and his words did not sound like a god, but more like a middle-aged social worker in his forties who worked hard to pay off loans to support his family and children.
"This is not the reason for you to protect that child, Silver Virgin." The middle-aged man's tone was indescribably serious: "During the Saint Catastrophe, we fought through life and death for the peace of the multiverse. Lady Night once almost destroyed the world.
The alliance that broke the order almost hurt you once."
"I know." Suellen turned away. He refused to look at Irmat. The goddess, wearing a moon-white apricot cream chiffon dress, stepped on the ground of her own kingdom with her bare feet: "I
I'll interrupt you first, Ilmat. I know him. This test has been going on since he was born. As far as I know, the son of Manuel and Elizabeth has never been a son of God or anything.
A descendant of an ancient evil creature, I trust my judgment."
"Yes, we never question this, but dear Lady Silver Virgin, you know, Bane fell, together with Thom during the catastrophe of the saints, after the catastrophe, he recognized Thom's sacrifice and sent us
The most trustworthy partner is resurrected." Seeing that the goddess Su Lun was unwilling to look at her, the middle-aged man continued to approach with a limp leg: "The three gods of death have fallen, but now we are facing an unprecedented enemy.
Cyric, he is more dangerous, more crazy, and more disordered than the three gods of death."
"Cyric's problem is not a problem between you and me, but a problem between the gods. Don't forget, Ilmat, he was personally chosen by the gods. You and I have no right to question it." The Silver Virgin said fiercely.
Turning around, the moonfire was blazing in her eyes: "Gather ten powerful gods, you can go to the Pole Star Camp to impeach the Dark Sun Prince instead of coming to me. This is your freedom, and I will not interfere!"
"But! Ilmat, I'm warning you, Tyr and Thom! He is my child! I will never allow you to touch him!" The Silver Virgin said sharply: "This is my freedom! If you want
Let’s fight God’s war, then come! Don’t talk nonsense here!”
"I will protect my child!!!"
Su Lun's resolute and tough attitude made the visitor's face look ugly.
"I have a proposal. If we can find enough evidence to prove that the existence of your child will threaten the security of the country, if that is really the case, are you willing to hand him over to us for 'proper handling'?"
The visitor finally said.
"You enjoy such freedom, I will not interfere with you, but I want to ask you a question." Su Lun's attitude was very indifferent: "If you make a wrong judgment, if you wrongly accuse my child, then I will refuse
Accept your repentance!"
"...I hope your trust is worth it, Silver Virgin."
Faced with Su Lun's extremely tough attitude, the visitor who had no concrete evidence finally backed down. He shook his hand very tiredly and the image disappeared.
As a lawful good deity, he cannot do whatever he wants like the chaotic good Silver Virgin.
He just wanted to "test" the child to make sure there was nothing wrong with him, but he didn't expect to encounter such huge opposition.
It seems that we still need indisputable evidence that can convince everyone.
The image of the visitor dissipated, and the holy and pure goddess continued to stand under the two holy white trees. She closed her eyes.
My child, you will not disappoint me, right?
————I am the dividing line between lawful good————
"etc!"
Aaron categorically stopped the female barbarian's plan to pull her sleeves and rush over: "Asha, I said, obey the order!"
"Based on this urine, why do you assume that the other party is a robber who kills people and sells goods?" Aaron said impatiently: "What if it's just a passing caravan? Traveler?"
"Tsk, let me tell you, Aaron, when you encounter this kind of situation in the wild, the opponent will most likely be a robber." Asha was also very impatient: "Why are you afraid of unjustly accusing a good person? If you really make a mistake by mistake, then we will do it again.
Wouldn’t it be enough to just let them go?”
Aaron smiled: "Asha! Think about it, if someone comes up and beats you up without any reason, takes your things and beats you until your face is covered with blood, and finally finds out that they hit you by mistake and apologizes to you, what will you do?
manage?"
"What should I do? Of course, for this kind of thing, I have to give him a hard time. At least I have to take off his arm and teach him a lesson!" the female barbarian said naturally.
That’s why everyone doesn’t like to team up with barbarians! Aaron covered his face.
There is a well-known "barbarian economics" among barbarians.
"There are high-quality giant weapons in the blacksmith shop, and the barbarians really want to buy them!
But savages have no money.
The barbarians borrowed money from the merchants to buy giant weapons. Giant weapons are so useful!
Someone comes to ask for a debt, and the barbarian has no money to pay it back.
What are you afraid of? Barbarians have huge weapons!"
————National Barbarian Economics
After saying these words, Asha herself realized that something was wrong, and her dark face painted with oil paint was a bit unnatural.
Barbarians are destined not to have a lawful alignment, but barbarians can be a good alignment. As a female barbarian who is chaotic, kind and neutral, Asha knows to some extent that she is wrong.
Wrong, a little bit wrong.
Just a little bit!
It’s just that the female barbarian didn’t want to admit her mistake. She crossed her arms and asked Aaron and Eleanor what to do next with her eyes.
Aaron is actually a little confused.
Judging from the risk alone to complete the mission, Aaron and the others should actually avoid fighting as much as possible.
However, Aaron wanted to try how the three of them would work together.
As the saying goes, armed with sharp weapons, murderous intentions are everywhere.
"Go over and have a look, Aaron, I feel a faint smell of blood in the air." Eleanor felt something was wrong.
"Okay, then let's go and have a look." Aaron agreed. He showed a bright smile to Miss Pastor: "After all, I can't refuse your request, Eleanor!"
"...What are you talking about, you guy!" Miss Pastor gently patted Aaron's arm.
"Oh, you two are so disgusting." Asha couldn't help the goosebumps on her body: "Hurry up if you want to go!"
"Walk!"
Walking through the forest, following the footprints, the midsummer sunshine is blocked by the dense shade of trees, the smell of soil and humus is emitted in the air, the thick branches and dense roots of the ancient trees all illustrate the antiquity of this forest.
Cormyr was once known as the "Land of Forests". It once had one of the largest virgin forests in the country. However, with the development of mankind, a large number of forests were cut down, and the large forests that originally covered the entire land area were gradually divided into
Several.
The continuous shrinking of the forest area has also caused dissatisfaction among many people, especially the druids of the Church of the Oak Father. They have publicly protested Cormyr's poor protection of the forest many times, and secretly used a variety of methods, including but not limited to violence and
Support the bandit beast goblins to stop humans from further deforestation.
In a small clearing covered by shrubs in front of a big tree in the forest, two bodies were lying, one male and one female.
They looked very young, the woman's long golden hair was stained with blood, and her face showed despair and disbelief.
The man still kept his mouth open. There was a sword stuck in his chest, and the bushes under him were stained red with blood.
A strong man in a green cloak with a hood packed his trousers and approached from the side. He cursed and said to the two people guarding the body: "Damn, you two poor guys don't know how to bring more property with you when you are newlyweds."
Come out, how can this poor person get married? It's better for the man to go to the dock to carry bags and the woman to be a bitch in the pub, and still make more money!"
"You stupid fool who trusts others so easily. He deserves to be robbed by us. He would rather die than hand over his things. Damn it, you forced me to do it. It's none of my business!"
"Hey, you two, did you find anything?"
"Nothing!" The two men guarding the body were also dressed in green cloaks and hoods. One of them licked the blood on the dagger: "I just found a few gold coins, oh, and a ruby ring, which sold for 30 gold coins.
That’s the most.”
"You two bastards couldn't have swallowed something while I was peeing, right?" The leader casually grabbed someone's collar.
"We don't dare, boss!"
"Nothing really, boss!"
The two younger brothers quickly defended themselves, shaking their heads desperately.
"Really?" The robber pulled out his weapon and slapped the younger brother in the face with the blade.
"Not really, boss!"
"Then quickly pack your things and leave. Damn it, today is another day with nothing to gain."
After saying that, several people packed up their things and prepared to leave.
Not far away, Asha stared at Aaron hiding behind the tree, feeling proud.
Look, I guessed it right?
"Okay, you're right." The muscles on Aaron's face twitched a few times, it seemed that he did not have enough adventure experience.
"Get ready, Eleanor, Asha." Aaron raised his hand, and magic began to gather in his palm: "Do you remember what I said?"
“Treat every move as the last one, and then don’t be afraid of losing!”
"Got it!" "Got it!"
Aaron and others were not good at hiding. As they made moves, the leader of the three bandits clearly felt something was wrong. He motioned to his two men to put the body down and took out a short knife from behind: "Who is it?"
No one answered him, but something answered him!
A pink flame roared from the forest and was about to hit him in the blink of an eye.
The robber leader's expression changed drastically. He immediately turned around and dodged the strange flame beam.
What happened next shocked him.
After he dodged it, the flame turned into two things like forest goblins in the air. They turned around and grabbed his neck and thighs. The burning pain stimulated his nerves. The fire goblin opened his mouth,
Two bloody tooth marks were left on his body!
What is this? The bandit leader has never seen it before!
War cry!
The barbarians are coming!
Asha's figure appeared from the forest.
Violent! Reckless! Giant weapons!
Barbarian Charge!
The strong muscles were tense, and the veins on the violent barbarian's muscles bulged, and blood surged all over his body. His figure, which was already over 1.8 meters tall, suddenly expanded to another level.
She rushed forward like a giant bear, tearing apart flesh and blood with her halberd, and severely wounded the bandit leader with one blow.
This wasn't over yet. Relying on her violent strength, Asha followed up with an upward move and broke the bandit leader's arm holding the knife with one blow.
"Ahhh!" Blood surged out like a fountain, and the bandit leader let out a painful cry.
Followed closely by Eleanor, the priestess raised her hand of the moon. A bright light belonging to the Silver Virgin made one of the bandit men dizzy and blind. She then swung her war hammer and aimed at the second one.
The hand smashed it down.
"In the name of the moon, accept judgment, murderer!"
However, the second robber's men were already on guard. He rolled on the spot, dodged Miss Priest's war hammer, stood up from the ground, and was about to escape: "Help! There are enemies!"
Oh no! The expressions of the female barbarian and the pastor lady changed slightly.
Is this guy going to look for reinforcements? Are there any bandits nearby?
"call out!"
Three colorful cursors flew from the forest, struck the robber's man's head in a wonderful trajectory, and the big head exploded.
In the distance, Aaron lowered his hand shrouded in colorful light.
This was the real first drop of blood after he woke up.
