after being offered to the devil

Chapter 39 God's Eternal Life

==================

There was a dead silence in the void.

The ears of wheat sway with the wind.

The books were turned slowly, making a rustling sound.

The God of Light sat behind the light curtain, thoughtful.

Ever since the water mirror was broken, the gods sensed the threat of darkness and dared not peep again.

But they were not willing to give up like this, so they stayed in the void, waiting for news.

After an unknown amount of time, a gap opened in the void, and a ray of moonlight slanted down.

The gods felt the fluctuations of the moonlight, stopped their movements, and looked up.

Under the eyes of everyone, a figure walked out slowly from the brilliance of the moon.

He turned sideways and sat on the crescent moon, with the hem of his skirt hanging down, and thousands of starry sky dotted on it, which was so beautiful that it made people surrender.

The Goddess of Abundance snorted lightly, "Pretending to be."

The sound was not loud, but all the gods present heard it.

Everyone is a god, and this kind of play of pretending to be gods and playing ghosts is very familiar.

It's fine to pretend in front of believers, but it's really unnecessary to pretend in front of colleagues.

Being pointed out so bluntly, Goddess Moon couldn't hold back.

As a good old man, the God of Knowledge came out to smooth things over and changed the subject: "Okay, don't talk about it, isn't the moon always like this?"

The Goddess of Plenty blinked her eyes: "You mean—the moon always pretends to be like this?"

The God of Knowledge smiled awkwardly: "I didn't say that."

Just when the Goddess of Plenty was holding on to this point, the God of Light said, "Enough."

The belief in the God of Light is the most powerful, and his divine power is also the strongest. The other gods have to show some face, and even the goddess of abundance is silent.

The God of Light put his hands on his knees, raised his eyelids, and looked at the Moon Goddess: "You have seen the abyss."

Use an affirmative tone.

The goddess of the moon felt a little guilty, turned her face to the side, and said coldly: "I have seen it."

The gods were a little surprised.

They have always been afraid of the death and ominousness carried by the Lord of the Abyss, and they didn't even dare to appear in front of them in real body.Unexpectedly, the goddess of the moon not only met the Lord of the Abyss, but also retreated completely.

The God of Knowledge couldn't hide his surprise, and looked up and down.

The Goddess of Moonlight is in good condition and she was not injured, so she probably didn't conflict with the Lord of the Abyss.

It just looks a little languid, and even the moonlight has become a little sparser.

It is estimated that he did not take advantage of the Lord of the Abyss, so he could only run away in despair.

The God of Knowledge felt that he had guessed the truth and had a bottom line in his mind, so he did not speak.

But the Goddess of Abundance didn't think it was a big deal when she watched the excitement, so she asked knowingly, "Moon, didn't you want to drive the Lord of the Abyss away from your territory? Why, you didn't get rid of it?"

The Moonlight Goddess said stiffly: "No."

"Tsk tsk——" Goddess of Abundance pinched the ears of wheat in her hair, and said, "What should I do? After all, it is your territory, and it is now occupied by the Lord of the Abyss. If you say it, you believers in Moonlight will all I can't lift my head up."

The Moon Goddess froze: "You don't have to worry about that."

The goddess of abundance smiled: "We have such a good relationship, I must help you think about it."

The Moon Goddess snorted coldly, and stopped talking about it.

In the void, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

The God of Knowledge coughed: "You met the Lord of the Abyss, how do you feel?"

Not only the God of Knowledge was curious, but other gods also paid attention.

The Moonlight Goddess moved her mind, and said slowly: "He... is a little weak."

The goddess of abundance was dubious: "Weak? How could he be weak?"

The God of Knowledge clasped his hands together and made a crisp sound, which attracted the attention of other gods: "He has been sealed in the abyss for thousands of years, and he should be weak. After all, what is separated is a clone, and the main body is still being sealed by thousands of people. Bound by the rules, the power is certainly not so strong."

The Goddess of the Moon just started, and the God of Knowledge has already completed everything.

Finally, He came to a conclusion: "This is an opportunity for us."

The goddess of abundance became interested: "What opportunity?"

God of Knowledge: "His body carries the shadow of death, not only can kill us, but also...kill Himself."

Upon hearing this, the gods were silent.

There is an undercurrent surging in the dark, as if weighing this possibility.

The Moon Goddess' eyes dimmed slightly.

It does make sense.

The Lord of the Abyss is weak and has not yet fully recovered.At this time, erasing his clone can do a good job of injuring the main body.

When the time comes, take advantage of the situation and step in to completely eliminate this hidden danger.

But this cannot be done by one god, and all gods must work together.

is it possible?

The goddess of the moon just vetoed this idea.

impossible.

The battle of faith has reached a fierce stage, and anyone may become the only god. At this time, drawing strength to deal with the Lord of the Abyss is undoubtedly weakening one's own strength.

Instead of working together to eliminate an unknown hidden danger, it is better to directly use this hidden danger to get rid of the opponent who is already eyeing it.

Without hesitating for too long, the goddess of the moon made a choice.

While the gods were still hesitating, he said abruptly: "I have gained Joe Flynn's trust."

The Moon Goddess mentioned Lin Qiao's full name.

The God of Light noticed this detail, and his eyes moved slightly.

Treat human beings like ants with the arrogance of gods.

Every time Lin Qiao was mentioned, all the gods would say contemptuously, "That black-haired boy."

What exactly did the Moon Goddess go through to change her attitude towards the black-haired boy?

Guangming remained calm and continued to listen quietly.

The voice of the Moon Goddess was cold: "Actually, Joe Flynn is also afraid of the Lord of the Abyss. He really wants to get rid of the Lord of the Abyss. I promised to help him."

Neither the God of Knowledge nor the Goddess of Fertility thought much of it.

From their point of view, this is normal behavior.

The lord of the abyss represents death and uncertainty, an existence that even the gods are taboo, let alone a mere human being.

The God of Knowledge became interested and said, "Oh, how are you going to help him?"

The Moon Goddess chuckled: "I only promised to help him, but I didn't say that I must help him."

The gods are capricious.

There are still scruples about believers, and it can be said that there is no sense of guilt when facing a human youth who is not a believer.

Goddess of the Moon: "This is also a good opportunity, isn't it?" She opened her fingers and then slowly tightened them, "Holding Joe Flynn in your hands is equivalent to grasping the flaw of the Lord of the Abyss."

"It must be heart-wrenching to find a way to control him and let him cause harm to the Lord of the Abyss."

The God of Knowledge took a breath of air, and after a moment of silence: "It's indeed a good idea."

The goddess of the moon landed on the moonlight: "This is my idea, don't interfere."

The gods of abundance and light have no objections.

It was the God of Knowledge who spoke: "Moon, let me help you."

Hooked.

The Moon Goddess's eyes flickered, but she didn't agree, but showed a little vigilance: "What are you going to do?"

The God of Knowledge flipped through the book: "I'm very interested in that black-haired boy." Countless characters floated out of the book, forming a string of words that he couldn't understand at all, "His brain, his thoughts, if If possible, after the matter is completed, I would like to take his soul and enrich my library."

The goddess of the moon lacked interest: "Then you can come if you want."

He turned and left.

The God of Knowledge closed the book and impatiently followed.

All of a sudden, only the Goddess of Plenty and the God of Light remained in the void.

The lands of abundance and light border on each other, and the two secretly have a lot of conflicts, and the relationship is not very good.

But now, the two gods didn't seem to be at war with each other as before, and there was some tacit understanding between their eyes.

The goddess of abundance took the initiative to say, "Why, aren't you curious about what the moon is going to do?"

Because of the special priesthood she holds, the Moonlight Goddess has always been good at playing tricks on people's hearts, even daring to plot against the gods.

This time, he actually harbored ill intentions towards the God of Knowledge.

The light curtain shook slightly, but the God of Light did not answer.

The Goddess of Plenty said impatiently, "You should say something."

The God of Light raised his eyelids: "No matter what we do, it won't affect us."

If the moon's calculation is successful and the God of Knowledge is injured or falls, they can take advantage of the opportunity.

vice versa.

For them, no matter what the result is, there are only advantages and no disadvantages.

Feng Rao and Guangming looked at each other, waved their hands, and disappeared into the light curtain at the same time in a tacit understanding.

Of course, they are not to remind the God of Knowledge.

Instead, go back and prepare ahead of time.

If you can catch up, you can get a part of the inheritance.

……

at the same time.

Country castle.

Lin Qiao stood at the entrance, gesturing.

This territory is not big.

From the small river in the north, to the orange grove in the south, to the wheat field in the east, and to the windmill in the west.

This area is all Andre's territory.

Now, it has been transferred to Lin Qiao's name.

If he is willing, he can also inherit Andre's title and become a legitimate noble lord.

Lin Qiao refused.

After all, he is not the original owner, and has no obsession with restoring the glory of the nobility.

Besides, he stayed here to have a place to settle the displaced slaves.If it becomes an exploiting class, then there must be the existence of being exploited.

In this way, the lives of those slaves will not be improved in any way.

This is not what Lin Qiao wants.

He rejected the proposal from the Kingdom of the Moon.

Lai Shi showed embarrassment, and gently reminded: "There must be a lord title, so that everyone can know that a new country has been established here."

On this continent, identity is a passport.

Everyone needs to have a recognized identity.Commoner, nobleman, merchant, magician or knight...everyone stays in their own class.

If Lin Qiao did not accept the title of noble lord, it would be difficult to integrate into this class.

Lin Qiao: "You don't have to be a lord."

To make: "?"

Lin Qiao scanned the area of ​​the territory: "I can be a village head."

To make: "???"

Lin Qiao narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that this was a good solution.

After all, in terms of the size of this territory, it is about the same as a village.

Lin Qiao said to himself, "I have to give the village a name..."

Came to Mengmeng: "Isn't this the kingdom of the abyss?"

When he came, he knew that the new lord here believed in the Lord of the Abyss.

The Lord of the Abyss controls darkness, death and ominousness, but he is a well-known evil god.

Before coming here, Laishi has already made enough mental preparations.

Since he believes in evil gods, he may have a set of cult rituals as soon as he enters the door, such as skinning, boiling corpses, dark rituals... Even if he sees a ghoul dancing cheek to cheek with a harpy, he won't surprise.

But I didn't expect that after setting foot on this territory, I found that there was no trace of the Lord of the Abyss.

The territory was taken care of in an orderly manner, and even the abandoned land was recultivated and planted with green wheat.

The only bad thing is that the new lord is too merciful to issue civilian status to every slave.

You know, civilians in the territory have to pay taxes.

The lord will always pay for his youthfulness.

Now the too young lord even said confidently—"I never said I believed in the Lord of the Abyss."

Lai Shi: "Ah, this..." He was speechless, "Then why did you borrow the name of Lord of the Abyss?"

Lin Qiao blinked innocently: "Borrow it and use it, it should be fine, right?"

To make a little dizzy.

After living for so long, he also said that it was the first time he heard that the name of a god could be borrowed.

It does sound outrageous, but the laws of various countries do not clearly stipulate that this is not allowed.

But... No one has the courage to challenge the authority of the gods.

After being silent for too long, Lin Qiao asked, "Why, can't you?"

Lai Shi said with difficulty: "It's not impossible, but...does the Lord of the Abyss care?"

Lin Qiao glanced at Arthur: "He doesn't care."

Lai Shi: "Are you sure?"

Lin Qiao: "Sure."

The envoy held the quill and wrote it down "shua shua". After finishing writing, he couldn't help asking: "If you don't mind, can you tell me what is the relationship between you and the Lord of the Abyss?"

Lin Qiao: "I don't mind." He said with a smile, "It's just a relationship."

click-

The quill that came to make it was pinched and broken.

The pure white feathers fluttered down.

The envoy's eyes widened, and his mouth was as big as an egg: "Ah..."

Lin Qiao couldn't help laughing: "Is it so exaggerated?"

Laishi tried hard to close his dislocated jaw: "Please don't be joking...how can a human fall in love with a god?"

Lin Qiao: "Why not?"

To make the words incoherent: "That is, the gods are so noble and great, human love will only pollute the gods..."

Said in the ballad sung by the bard.

In that distant country, there once was such a prince who fell in love with the incarnation of the god.

The prince cried for three days and three nights under the statue of the god, wanting to catch a glimpse of the god.

Probably because the sincerity moved the gods, the gods stepped down from the altar and took the initiative to form a one-night partner with the prince.

But the majesty and majesty of the power of the gods, how can a mere human being be able to bear it?

As the night passed, the prince withered quickly like a rose whose root had been cut off.By the early morning of the next day, he had become a handful of dry bones, not even his soul could rest in peace.

And so it is sung in the bard's song: "...the love of the gods is poison--drug, deadly and enchanting."

Regardless of content.

The meaning expressed in it is that the gods are sacred and inviolable, one can only have a devout belief, and cannot have undue thoughts, otherwise he will die unexpectedly.

Lin Qiao disagreed.

It's just a brainwashing text spread to consolidate the status of the gods.

Give him a pen, and he will write eight or ten articles in minutes.

Lin Qiao also started to criticize: "Which god is the story about, and which country is the prince from?"

I can't tell.

After all, these are all ballads that have been circulated for so long, who would be so bored and go to the bottom of the story to find the protagonist of the story?

Lin Qiao: "It's just a fairy tale, don't take it seriously."

Lai Shi couldn't say anything to refute, so he changed the subject: "Then, have you decided on a new name for the territory?"

Lin Qiao suffered from difficulty in choosing.

Every time he chooses a name, he struggles for a long time.

"Hmm..." He hesitated to say, "If you don't get it right, can you change your name in the future?"

This is the first time for Laishi to encounter such a problem: "No."

Lin Qiao: "Okay. Let's call it... Liberty Village."

Laishi Comments: A little weird, but a little good.

……

Sent away to make.

Lin Qiao and Arthur walked slowly on the field ridge.

Halfway through, he suddenly asked, "Is that story true?"

Arthur frowned and thought for a while before realizing which story Lin Qiao was telling.

"No." he replied.

Lin Qiao breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably: "That's good."

Arthur is seriously considering this matter: "Even if Jojo dies, it doesn't matter."

Lin Qiao: "?"

Arthur: "Jojo can be a dark creature."

Lin Qiao: "???"

Arthur: "Does Jojo want to be an undead, or a demon?"

Lin Qiao: "I don't want any, thank you."

Arthur said distressedly: "Then we can only be undead."

Lin Qiao: "..."

He felt that there was something wrong with Arthur's worldview.

For others, death can be a daunting topic.

But for Arthur, it was like talking about apple pie or bread and jam tomorrow morning.

Lin Qiao decided to dispel Arthur's idea: "No, I don't want either."

Arthur's eyelashes blinked, and he lowered his head, like a puppy rejected by his master, pitiful.

"But Jojo will die."

Lin Qiao said indifferently: "Everyone will die."

Arthur: "I won't." He tried hard to express his thoughts, "I don't want Jojo to leave."

Lin Qiao: "That can't make me into something weird."

What kind of undead demons are not dead, just listen to them and infiltrate people, okay?

Arthur silently followed behind Lin Qiao, the dark red curly hair flickering on top of his head, feeling extremely wronged.

Halfway through, Arthur reached out and grabbed Lin Qiao's clothes: "Qiao Qiao, I'm sorry."

Lin Qiao: "Huh?"

Arthur's thoughts were jumping so fast that he couldn't keep up.

I froze for a moment, "Why do you have to apologize?"

Arthur couldn't tell either.

He felt that Qiao Qiao was a little unhappy, and every time he said the three words "I'm sorry", Qiao Qiao would become happy.

Lin Qiao felt helpless: "It's not your fault."

Arthur tilted his head.

Lin Qiao: "I was just thinking that gods can survive for a long time."

As long as there is faith, the gods will not be forgotten.

And Arthur has been trapped in the abyss for thousands of years, still ignorant and ignorant.

Gods can live a long time.

And human life is but a moment.

Even the great magister will be annihilated in the torrent of time.

Lin Qiao stretched out his hand.

Arthur was too tall to touch the top of his head, so he lowered his head and sent his head to Lin Qiao's hands cooperatively.

Lin Qiao messed up her dark red hair: "If I'm not here, you have to be careful, don't be bullied by others."

Arthur's heart skipped a beat.

In fact, it's not that he doesn't understand anything, but that he doesn't care.

Whether it is a god or a human being, to him, they are like inconspicuous ants, unable to cause any waves.

But now, after hearing what Lin Qiao said, he was actually scared.

Afraid that Lin Qiao would really leave.

Arthur put his arms around Lin Qiao, tightened his arms, and said in a muffled voice, "Qiao Qiao, don't go."

Lin Qiao was not prepared at all, and bumped into a strong and broad embrace, her nose sore, and she almost shed tears.

He wanted to curse at first, but he swallowed it back when he heard Arthur's trembling voice.

"I didn't say I was leaving." Lin Qiao explained, "I think I can live for a long time."

Arthur didn't listen to the explanation, and buried his head in Lin Qiao's neck.

Lin Qiao felt a little itchy, so he stretched out his hand and pushed it, but he didn't push it.

"Okay... let's not talk about this." He coaxed, "Arthur..."

The sound stopped abruptly.

Look up.

Between the blue sky and white clouds in the distance, a round of moonlight is looming.

The goddess of the moon is here.
