Chapter 46
Chapter 46: God’s covenant.
Many devout believers prayed day and night, but they couldn’t ask for a chance to meet the gods. Alice, the apostate who chose to deviate from the general creed and believe in the **** of the doomsday from the first time she entered the temple, has met with the gods one after another.
If it is said that the last time she met with the great mother goddess, it was because Circelian was involved in it, this time the meeting with the farmer and pastor Panros was probably purely a coincidence. Who could have imagined that the village that the Duchess gave to her because it was difficult to deal with was actually the place where the Faun first came to the world?
Although Alice was surprised, she was not nervous. This was already the third **** she had met, and such an encounter would no longer make her feel terrified. In fact, communicating with gods is far less dangerous than communicating with humans.
She hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether she should fully report her identity, after all, the **** of farm and animal husbandry was a dependent of the **** of light, and perhaps the **** of light might be aware of her existence.
But in front of the gods, humans cannot hide themselves.
“I am Alice Quint, the female knight under the Duchess of Felix. The **** I serve is the sleeping Cecilia.”
She heard herself say that.
“It’s incredible that the **** of the doomsday also has believers.”
The Faun’s tone is subtle, and there seems to be something implicit in his sigh, which can hardly be called kindness, which makes Alice feel a little unhappy:
“I prefer to call him the **** of the future.”
“The future or the doomsday are originally two different descriptions of the same situation.” The Faun said wisely, “But don’t get me wrong, I don’t have any opinion on you or your master. Although I am nominally the God of Light In fact, the family members do not have any special obsessions with the iteration of the gods. The gods worshipped by the masses will eventually be wiped out or forgotten as the society changes, but gods like me, no matter what kind of There will always be my place in the times. As long as the farmers still need sunshine and rain, their worship of me will last forever.”
There was a little self-confidence in the voice of the Faun, and Alice looked at the surrounding fields, thinking that maybe he was right. This **** who is not particularly conspicuous in the temple has his place in the field.
The Faun did not continue this topic. He stared at Alice from the void and asked her:
“Anyway, shouldn’t the servants of the **** of the doomsday appear in the royal capital, or the center of those struggles, why come to this desolate village and set foot on this sacrificial ground that belongs to me?”
“I didn’t mean to offend.” Alice said, “but I am the owner of the land here, and the village chief asked me to pay to repair your sacrificial grounds so that the villagers can perform sacrificial rituals.”
“In this way, I’m going to accept your love.”
“You don’t have to accept your love. I’m just doing my duty as a landlord. If you are really satisfied with this matter, you might as well lower your divine power to make the village smooth, and this will live up to your believers’ intentions. ”
“The peasants here have always been my darling.” said the **** of farming and pastor, Penrose. “As a god, he should be impartial and should not be biased towards believers in a certain place. But for me, it is true. It is a memorable place. It is here that I met my first believer. She is herding sheep here. I bless her flock to be fatter and produce more milk and wool… We have had a very profound experience. The same tone, that kind of imprint stays on my spirit and will never be worn away.”
Homology, this is exactly what Alice wants to understand. Cecilian had explained homology to her before, but he, like her, had this experience for the first time. Cecilian’s understanding of homology is not much better than that of Alice, and it is difficult to explain this.
But the situation of the Faun, Penrose, is obviously different. He has been wandering in the wilderness for thousands of years, associating with farmers and shepherds. He must have a lot of experience in coordinating.
Alice wants to get some first-hand information.
“I had tuned with Cecilian once before.” She said, “It feels… very strange, as if control of my body has been taken away.”
After she said this, Penrose’s laughter came in the air:
“Cohomology is far more complicated than you can imagine. True cohomology is not a fleeting sense of manipulation or manipulation. True cohomology will leave an indelible mark in the souls of both parties. It is still a human being, and it will have a permanent impact.” “If you want to get the same tune as me and my Catherine, you need more exploration and deeper understanding.”
There is always the problem of communicating with gods, that is, they will never say things too clearly. This is probably because the perspective of the gods in understanding the world is too different from that of humans, and they cannot accurately describe them in human language. However, what Penrose said is so vague, probably not entirely because of this difference between humans and gods. His words are full of “even if I say you don’t understand” posture, and Alice vaguely feels that he is actually show off.
“But most of the gods nowadays don’t pursue homology anymore.” Penrose said, “For those arrogant gods, homology is not worth the gain. It is not easy to connect one’s spirit with low-dimensional life closely. And this will inevitably lead to a radical change in thinking. The imprint left by the homology can actually be regarded as a scar. For some gods, this is too painful.”
“But you like to be in harmony with believers.”
“Yes, I like it.” Penrose’s voice was full of strange joy. “The gods are absolutely independent individuals from the day they were born. Homology is the process by which an absolutely independent individual understands the other and merges with the other. I At the time of homology, you can see from humans the world that cannot be seen from the perspective of gods. Unfortunately, humans who can tune with gods are not so easy to find. If you are not a believer in Cecilian, I would rather include you Under my protection.”
“It’s a shame.” Alice said, “If I was born in a country, I might really become your believer. But I became a knight, and I am destined to miss this wilderness. I have paid for the repair of your sacrificial ground, Sacrifice to you, I hope you can find believers who can harmonize with you in the sacrificial ceremony.”
“Thank you.” Penrose’s voice was like a spring breeze. “In recent years, this place has been neglected. I thought that my believers had gone to other places. If it weren’t for seeing you here today, maybe I would stay away from here. Go elsewhere to find believers.”
“Your believers still exist in this land.” Alice told him, “It’s just that they have been busy for a long time for their livelihoods, and they have been dominated by bad masters. They have no time to come here to sacrifice to you. Now the sacrifice is about to be made. Turn it back on, and please continue to look after the people here.”
“You are a very good human being.” Penrose said sincerely, “Although your master, the God of the Future, is always asleep, he has always had wisdom beyond the gods. In fact, I kind of look forward to his coming. ”
“You are not a servant of the God of Light? Why do you look forward to the coming of the future?”
“I said before that I have no obsession with the iteration of the gods.” Penrose told her, “I belong to nature. I am counted as a servant of the light only because I am born to yearn for the sun. But the God of Light itself is with me. What does it matter? Even if the **** of light is destroyed, the light itself will not disappear. The wheat seedlings will continue to grow, and the flocks grazing by my herders will still eat the grass as before. If your Circilian can promise , To reserve a place for my farmers and sheep in the doomsday he brought, and I can even ask my farmers to pray to me while also spending time to pray for the future of Representative Cecilian.”
Alice was surprised:
“Can it really be done?”
“It’s okay.” Penrose’s tone was very calm. “After all, in this world dominated by the God of Light, my wilderness is on the edge. Even if the world collapses from the center, it has nothing to do with me.”
Penrose’s voice fell to the ground, and Cecilian’s voice suddenly came from another direction, his voice showed rare majesty:
“I promise you, Penrose, the farmer and pastor. In the future world after I wake up, I will always prepare a place for you so that you can guard your fields and herd.”
“That’s a deal.” Penrose’s voice was full of joy. “I will shuttle through the sacrifices held by the farmers, sow the seeds of hope for you in the hearts of my believers, and let them increase your strength. When the end comes, my farmer will stand with you.”
Alice was stunned to witness the two gods making an agreement here. Neither of the two gods showed up, which made people think whether this agreement was a bit unformal. However, when the agreement was made, a magical change occurred in Penrose’s sacrificial field.
The weeds began to grow wildly in the cracks, blooming flowers that seemed to be carefully cultivated, and then quickly withered and disappeared, as if they had been cleaned up and become clean. The altar that had been cracked due to disrepair for a long time was restored as before, and the faded patterns on it reappeared, showing a primitive charm. Water from an unknown source was poured into the stone plate above the altar, making a gurgling sound.
The water flowed along the original path, and the stone bricks passing by made the sound of beeping and peeling, becoming completely new. The entire sacrificial ground completely changed its appearance under the supernatural power of Cecilian, or in other words, restored its original state.
Cecilian’s voice sounded again:
“Just take this restored sacrificial ground as the proof of our agreement, and I am waiting for you to fulfill your promise.”
