Lord of the Mysteries fanfic: wake up, hermit

Time passes little by little, the process advances little by little, and topics are finalized one after another, from the time when the port of the Giant King's Court is closed to the location of the decisive battle, from the estimation of the combat power of both sides to the means to deal with it... everything is about to be settled.

The last secret meeting came to an end, Thoth was the last to walk out of the hall, and Medici was puffing away outside. Perhaps because of the years of fighting side by side, he had the intuition that Medici should be waiting for him.

Medici looked at this continent. Here are the most prosperous streets, the most prominent families, the most magnificent temples, and the most dazzling sun. But before the sun shines through the long night, here are also the most barren settlements and the most cruel demons.

, the most sinister devil's cave, the most filthy chaos... He suddenly realized one thing, no matter whether it was good or bad, no matter how long the remaining life of the mythical creature was, this land already carried most of his feelings and beliefs.

"What do you think of it here?"

“Very noisy.”

"Um?"

“The military camp is always very noisy,” Thoth said seriously. “The sound of everyone’s footsteps in unison during training, the clang of swords clashing together, the sound of arrows flying from their strings; the clinking of pots and pans during meals.

With the sound of ping-pong, some people would cheer for the smell of meat, while others would scold their mothers for the food they didn't like; during the war, the horns would make a long cry, and the hunters would roar to the sky..." Thoth paused, "And you

The voice will also echo in everyone's head, and it is more haunting than the evil spirit..."

Medici smiled, but it was not the kind of ridicule that deserved a beating. It was rare that he did not retort.

"I occasionally wandered around the Eastern Continent, eating white sausages in small restaurants, playing the piano in the commercial street, and asking for divination at the temple... But if you ask me what the Eastern Continent is like, the first thing I think of is the military camp.

It was very noisy there and it seemed like there was never any silence... there were people snoring even when they were sleeping.”

"Yes, there will never be silence."

It's always so lively.

The Red Angel suddenly remembered that when He had not yet become the conqueror, the Lord, who had not yet become the omniscient and omnipotent, led Him on the endless wilderness, covered with snow in a vast expanse, drowning all life, and there was no human habitation within a few hundred meters of the Lord.

Said that even the harsh winter should not be like this. One day, a prosperous city-state will be established here, food will be filled in the warehouses in the autumn, people can hunt rabbits and marmots on a whim, and dig out the ice for fishing.

, while their friends are cooking red soup and preparing warm liquor at home. In the evening, people will chat or sing and dance around the bonfire.

"Is this your prediction?" Medici asked.

"This is my wish." The Creator seemed to be answering and making a promise.

In a daze, Thoth seemed to hear Medici curse a curse word.

"Aren't you going back yet?"

"No, I'll just find a hotel nearby to stay."

Medici couldn't help but choke on the cigarette: "Is it wrong? You, a true god, don't live in the Kingdom of God and stay in a hotel?"

"Maybe Amon is wandering around my kingdom of God." Thoth rubbed his eyebrows, "The closer the scheduled time is, the less I want to see him... I have turned him away many times so far, and he

He must be losing his temper."

"Leave him alone." Medici crushed the cigarette butt under her boot, "You are not his mother...wait, if he is so clingy to you, he doesn't really think of you as his mother, right?"

"Please don't contemplate this exhausting possibility..."
