Chapter 744 Snowfield
It's quite interesting to talk to Lin. Although she is a very powerful goddess, and has a real body that is a hundred times more powerful than my cheating 700 billion, she has a timid character that cannot be changed. , you can make her panic with some little jokes while talking, and it has become a rare entertainment item to enjoy the way the other person explains things in a panic - this kind of bad taste makes Lilina often roll her eyes at me. , but each of us enjoys it.
The Dragon God girl with a rabbit-like personality prepared her favorite snacks and a popular drink among Dragon Gods for the guests. It tasted like soda, refreshing and very refreshing. It says this on the packaging:
Let your two heads be refreshed at the same time for an afternoon!
But to us, it’s just something delicious to drink, and it’s harmless to mortals.
When we came over, Lin was busy with official duties. She was a rare hard-working person among the five-person protoss group. So our topic naturally gradually shifted to her daily work. You have to understand that usually there is only an idiot God around me who needs to read the instructions to even open and close the World Tree correctly. I have no idea how a normal protoss should work. So curious.
When it comes to her work, the Dragon God girl, who is always very cautious, becomes a little talkative. With a shy smile, Lin starts to introduce us to the world she manages.
Due to lack of qualifications and limited abilities, Lin only managed one world. Not only could she not be compared with Bingtis, the super-excellent student who directly acted as the main god of the plane, she could not even compare with Dingdang, the upstart, but she was very fond of herself. The world she sheltered was more serious than anyone else. When she mentioned her people, Lin had a warm expression on her face. She kept emphasizing how "kind and obedient children" they were, and that the whole world was "full of people." The spirit of hard work", that expression is like a mother bragging about her children to outsiders.
This isn't the first time I've seen such an outpouring of emotion.
The gods of the Star Domain all have very sincere feelings for the world they protect. This feeling is somewhat similar to the care parents have for their children. Even the rogue goddess will proudly say that she is her follower when she mentions it. Brave kids. They are different from those hypocritical gods who deceive their believers with false concern just because the belief of mortals can bring them power. Every Star Realm God Clan sincerely loves those mortals who believe in them, and Be proud of every effort they make. In this regard, even Ding Dong is no exception.
I didn't understand this feeling at first, especially when I saw Dingdang jumping up and down happily because the world he managed had just defeated a plague, I even thought this feeling was a bit incredible, but now , I can more or less understand their mood.
The gods of the star field have created countless worlds. Those worlds, and the mortals they carry, are like existences to them as their own children, and this feeling will gradually expand, allowing them to even care for those who are not The worlds created by oneself have a feeling of love and care, just like a new parent would smile at a strange child. The gods of these star fields love every orderly world from the bottom of their hearts, and those who are hardworking and brave , Mortals with good character are also their favorites.
This makes me feel that in the entire multiverse, they are the only ones who can truly deserve the title of gods. Perhaps those Huron gods who have never met before also have this qualification, but they were once considered to be the first in the void. The Xiling apostles of the three gods are probably not qualified enough. Although they are powerful enough, the apostles of the old empire obviously do not have this respectable spirit of fraternity.
Of course, just as every parent is troubled by their children's naughty behavior, even Lin, who never gets angry, has her own troubles.
"War or something," the Dragon God girl sipped her drink with a distressed look on her face, "Although I have personally intervened once to mediate, war is still inevitable. My believers and A war broke out in another kingdom in the world. The other kingdom does not believe in dragons, but it is very powerful. In this case, it will be a needless death."
"If it were just a mortal war, wouldn't you be able to stop it easily?"
I looked at the other party in confusion, and I didn’t understand why the Star Realm Protoss, who were so powerful and loved mortals so much, were always powerless in the face of wars and other evils in their own world.
"If you prevent this time, what will happen in the future?" Lin shook her head in confusion, "The most valuable thing about mortals is their development potential and ability to improve themselves. God can guide the operation of the entire world and can also formulate moral standards for the entire race, but only if not You can directly interfere with their specific actions. The fate of mortals is their own, even if they choose to die... There is a well-known situation that the more the gods interfere with the world, the slower the development speed will be, and when the gods influence mortals If direct help reaches a certain level, they will completely stop moving forward, and even fall into endless belief, completely giving up their own efforts. Although man-made disasters will never happen in such a world, once faced with disasters - such as abyss erosion, almost It is an instant death. We must protect everything in the world, not just mortals, so we must not let mortals become factors that hinder the evolution of the world."
"What a spoiled child."
Lilina, who is 1.09 meters tall and is as big as a kid, shook her head on the chair and sighed, "It is not the world that is unkind, but ordinary people are ignorant. So, boss, don't dote on mercury lamps too much in the future?"
I knocked on Lilina's forehead as a response to her request for attention, and then I was greatly moved by Lin's words.
Although God is a senior civil servant, this job is really not easy to do at all. I wisely did not ask which is more important in the mind of a God, the world or civilization, because the answer to this question is probably obvious: everyone The first mission of God is to maintain the stability of the world, and the second is to protect mortals. When the two conflict...
Forget it, I guess it’s impossible for a mortal who can believe in the Star Realm God Clan to do something that would destroy the world.
The protection of mortals by the gods of the star domain is actually a kind of voluntary work. Although mortals repay this kind of protection with faith and worship, to be honest, those are not of great value to the gods. The so-called faith has no value at all to the true god. The gods of the star field, which is a kind of power in itself, do not need to rely on the faith of mortals to increase their strength. It is at most a kind of inner comfort - and there are many mortals who want it in the name of faith. Gain the benefits of God. As for the offerings in the mortal world, it is similar. The gods can create all things in the world. The gadgets of mortals may make them feel novel, but they have no necessary value. The gold and silver offerings in front of the statues may not even have a lollipop, which is of high value. reason.
So all the gods are living thunder fronts...
"If the problem is too serious, I would still take action personally, although this is likely to deviate from the development of their civilization," Lin whispered, "For civilizations that believe in gods, the personal surrender of their own gods will have a huge impact. , excessive fanaticism may cause them to act irrationally in the name of faith. My arrival thousands of years ago caused a great decline in the scientific power of that world. I don’t know what bad things will happen this time. ...It is very distressing to not only maintain their moral system with faith, but also to prevent faith from suppressing science... Hey, Chen, how about you lend me some scientists?"
"Huh?" I was shocked.
"I want to learn advanced physics or something, and compile it into the Dragon God Codex, so that when I come, I can prevent their technology from being frustrated..."
I squirted out a mouthful of soda and almost washed Lilina away: "Does your Star Realm God Clan's Bible have a chart? Can you put anything in it?"
Lin was very embarrassed: "I'm not very good at making up this stuff. When we graduated from the Protoss, our graduation thesis was to compile a set of religious scriptures for our own main god. At that time, I copied my classmates... even the names. Later, the teacher read it. But go and help me change it."
This kid is so honest.
"Ah, by the way, let me show you my hometown!"
After chatting for a while about the daily work of the gods and some interesting things about managing the world (at least they sounded interesting to us), Lin suddenly remembered something and said happily.
"Your hometown?" Qianqian and I said at the same time.
"Well, it's on the frozen continent!" Lin said excitedly as she stood up and walked to the desk in the corner of the living room. "The hometown of the Dragon God, that's where I was born! Although it doesn't have the dense jungles and endless horizons like the main continent. The prairie has very magnificent snow scenery and ice!”
The "god" who is always without dignity wears a shy smile, just like a child showing off his treasure.
"Anuza, please correct the actual coordinates of the temple," after receiving our response, Lin said to a crystal on the desk, "Go to the Frozen Valley."
That might be the name of a certain divine servant who is responsible for maintaining the operation of the castle. We heard a low and respectful response from mid-air, and then an incongruous feeling like a displacement of space filled the air, even though it only passed away for a moment. It seems that this is correcting the actual coordinates of the temple.
The living room is on the second floor of the castle, close to the outer wall. There is a window here directly facing the outside. Now the light coming from there seems much brighter. Qianqian pulled me and jumped in front of the window. Through the narrow transparent crystal, We saw that there was already a world covered in silver outside - a continent covered in ice for thousands of miles.
The group of people who had originally planned to go out for fun immediately became excited. Qianqian, who has loved playing in the snow since she was a child, even took out a full set of sled poles from her pocket without saying a word. This magical scene made me immediately join her and A certain invisible blue robot cat made contact.
"Wow - what a beautiful place!"
Rushing directly from the warm castle to the icy and snowy outside, Qianqian didn't feel the cold at all, but instead started to play happily on the snow. Behind her was Viska: the same lively and active cat-eye loli finally finally After giving up her rigid and silent Sanwu sister, she became excited when faced with the ice and snow.
Breathing the fresh and cold air, I looked around this white world with novel eyes. This is near the entrance of a long and narrow valley called "Ice Valley". The terrain is a stretch of gentle hills, and continuous mountains can be seen in the distance. and small floating islands, all of which are covered with snow, surrounded by gentle slopes and terraces covered with ice and snow. There are occasionally some plants and trees with crystal icicles hanging on them, and the so-called Frozen Valley is just ahead. A few hundred meters away, there is an obvious downward slope. It is not very wide. It may gradually expand below, living up to its reputation as the first canyon in the frozen continent. There was a huge boulder in front of the Frozen Valley, and something seemed to be written on it. I moved up to look at it curiously, and translated into the dictionary something like "If you can see this line clearly, you will almost slide down."
…
A few minutes later, Pandora silently pulled me out of the large snow pit below.
Stepping on the soft snow, there was a crunching sound under my feet. I was a little curious about this world that was frozen all year round. I asked the Dragon God girl next to me who was busy taking a deep breath: "Lin, the snow here never melts. Of?"
"The frozen continent will always be like this, because the snow here has no concept of 'melting'." Lin's face was slightly blushing. The cold air here was common for her, and she blushed because she was happy—— After getting along with each other for a period of time, I still have this understanding, "It often snows here, but the source is snowflakes blown up from other places, rather than snow melting and evaporating. The snow on the frozen continent will not become dirty, because it has divine power. Blessing them. Huh - take a deep breath, the cold air of the frozen continent is good for the body. Grandpa said that the cold air has a good therapeutic effect on the migraine on the left side of the head and the right side. After staying up late at work, a deep breath can restore your energy! "
Since I don’t have the left side of my head, I feel like I can’t confirm this girl’s statement.
Qian Qian was already busy making a snowman at this time. The way she made the snowman was very strange. First, she found someone to stand still, and then sprinkled snow on top...
The person who sacrificed his life for this was an innocent-looking fighting puppet. Thank you, soldier. My family Qianqian has wanted to do this since she was a child, and today her dream finally came true.
Hueska is also very excited, but for various reasons, she has never played in the snow, so now she is following Qianqian like a curious baby and asking questions. The latter unreservedly shares her distorted world view. A little loli who is as simple as imparting behavioral patterns to a blank slate, without any reproach of conscience. Pandora looked on with a dull expression, but I keenly noticed that she was holding a snowball in her hand, and I hoped that Huesca could find it soon.
But unlike other people's happy scenes, Lilina always followed me expressionlessly. Apart from walking around behind her, she seemed to have little interest in the ice and snow world here. I have never seen this pseudo-loli who is always acting crazy everywhere be so low in energy. She was clearly in high spirits before coming here. Why did she become like this once she arrived in the Frozen Continent?
The confusion in my heart turned into action. I bent down slightly and rubbed the head of the silent little girl beside me: "Girl, what's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
Even though he knew that the other person was actually a bigger lady than him, he still accepted her as a lolita because of her appearance and always pretending to be young. This was really a victory for the lolita control soul.
"I don't like snow," Lilina lowered her head. It was rare that she didn't hold her big hands on her head in a malicious manner, but her voice was a little deeper. "It's cold, and there's no food. I'm very hungry..."
At first, I was stunned for a moment, but then I understood what the other person meant.
It was the psychological shadow left by those dark days that made this girl fearful of "snow", a scenery that seems beautiful to ordinary people. Maybe it's not fear now, but some kind of disgust.
"Sorry, I ruined the atmosphere when we were obviously happy."
My silence for a few seconds seemed to have caused Lilina to misunderstand. Priestess, who was always venomous and arrogant, made a rare serious apology, and then kicked the snow under her feet vigorously, "But I still don't like snow. it's too cold."
"Well, I don't know why," Lin cautiously interrupted, "but the snow in my hometown is the best scenery in my opinion... I'm sorry..."
If you feel the atmosphere is not good, apologize immediately. Lin, just be the boss for the rest of your life!
It's not like it ruined the atmosphere as Lilina said, but I don't know what I should be feeling right now. Maybe it's a little bit distressed. I pressed Lilina's head: "How about going back to the castle?"
"No!" The little girl suddenly shook her head, "I want to become a heaven-defying lolita, how can I be intimidated by this small challenge! Isn't it just the snow!"
No, I think you really should go back: your mind is not normal again!
Lilina solemnly declared a challenger to the snowy sky, and then screamed strangely and rushed towards Viska who was learning to make a snowman. I happily watched this eccentric "loli" challenge her memories. , until she suddenly disappeared from his sight.
"What an amazing speed!" I exclaimed.
"Uuuuuuuah, I really still hate the snow!"
Lilina crawled out from two meters away with a snow cap on her head, looking up to the sky in embarrassment and howling.
Lin explained in a low voice: "Because there are ice caves underneath, the snow in some places is very deep... Although it is not harmful to adults, it is dangerous if you are only over one meter tall..."
Pandora and Visca suddenly froze and turned to stone.
If these two are to fall apart, if they are lucky, they will be left alone (if there is any), right?
Lilina seemed to be competing with the heavy snow in the snow pits, and instead began to run around happily. The 1.09-meter-long unlucky loli flickered in and out of the vast expanse of silver, like a master of stealth. The originally flat snow was filled with traces of the little girl's challenge to her fate - a series of large holes.
