Pivot of the Sky

Chapter 029: Enlil's Answer

Gore saw the scene where Nietzsche rushed into the sky to challenge the **** Enlil with his own eyes. He had a strong feeling. Nietzsche seemed to know that he would go. He deliberately waited until the moment he appeared to show up. Seems to want to tell him through this scene.

Nietzsche may want to confirm something important and seek some kind of answer, but this lunatic has no way to speak out the confirmed result himself, so he needs a bystander to discover the mystery from it. Why did Nietzsche choose Ge Lie? Because no one is more suitable than Ge Lie, he is the only great magician who will appear there.

Was it really Enlil that caused the flood? Why does this **** do this? With a lingering question, Gore came to the empty main hall of the Suya Temple, kneeling down and praying to the tall statue of Enril: "Great god, great Enril, please tell me your Believers, why did this flood surround the city? Why did Duke Town disappear? "

When praying, Ge Lie suddenly had a strange feeling, and his shoulders seemed to have a sense of oppression. The idol in the center of the hall seemed to have come alive and had life, and looked down at him. If it was before today, under the gaze of the idol, Ge Lie would only feel peaceful and lucky, full of glory. But at this moment it was very different. He had a creepy fear. He still clenched his staff when praying, and secretly moved all the power to get ready.

Ge Lie's staff is made of the finest century-old walnut core, with neat and beautiful lines, which has been held in the hand for a long time. The front end of the staff is inlaid with a pupil of the earth, but it is cleverly wrapped with wood grain and no traces are visible. It looks a bit like the old man's cane, but is exceptionally noble and delicate.

"My temple priest, my devout believer, why do you exercise power in prayer, are you hostile to me?"

There was a thunderous voice in Ge Lie's mind, and Enril was talking! Ge Lie bowed her head and knelt down there, looking respectful, but her hand did not release her staff. He said to this voice in his soul: "Enril, my **** of the gods, did you destroy the town of Duke? Did you surround the city of Syria with the flood? I just want to know the answer."

"It was the flood that destroyed the town of Duke, it was the heavy rain that brought the flood, it was the intersection of warm and wet wind from the ocean and the swirling airflow of the Assyrian Plateau that caused the heavy rain. Anger directed the thunder and lightning in the clouds. "The **** answered his question with a majestic and bland voice, with almost no emotion.

This answer seemed to have another profound meaning. Ge Lie was silent for a moment, not knowing what she was thinking, but finally sighed: "The flood has come under the city of Suya, god, I took out all the gods in the city. A large array. If you can save the city and let the disaster that swept the city of Syria fall back, I will use them all as a sacrifice to you. "

Enrille's voice ridiculed, "I sacrificed? This is the shrine dedicated to me, and have I ever taken any wealth in the shrine? It is not all you who accept the sacrifices of sacrifices in the name of my offering. The priests and priests enjoyed it? How ridiculous! At this moment you think of sacrifice. Do you think that gods can buy it with human wealth? "

Grieve replied respectfully: "The great Enlil, this is not a purchase but a prayer. If the flood inevitably destroys the city of Suya, then this large array of magical arts will become the last force to guard the wall. This It is not against the gods, but the people who are dedicated to the gods here. It is the belief of thousands, no matter where this flood comes from. "

No one in the Syrian city clearly sings out the intention of Grieve to take out all the **** stone rings and arrange them on the wall to form a magical array. No one can fully launch the theoretical power of such a large array, even if all the magicians in the concentrated city cannot. However, Ge Lie only requires the formation of divine magic array, which can only inspire all the divine stones to be integrated with the divine magic array.

He was betting on this, and Enrille couldn't forcefully take away the stone!

Above the flooded town of Duke, Ge Lie saw many **** stones taken by the strange powers into the clouds, and speculated that the gods might use the **** stones to perform powerful divine magic. The power of this divinity is so daunting that it may require a lot of divine stones to assist or make up at a time.

The Syrian city-state is the most important place for the production of **** stones in the Kingdom of Hati. There are many god-stones in the temple over the years. The treasury of the city-state's treasury also has tax revenue belonging to the kingdom. He tried to negotiate with the gods. If the power of the gods could immediately let the flood recede, then the gods would let the gods take them away.

If it can't, the large array of divine magic can not only protect the city walls, the divine stones in the excited state can't be taken away by the mana of others, even the gods can't do this. The magic stone can be inlaid with a staff. Defeating a magician can take away his staff. However, when two people fight with each other, it is impossible for one theorist to directly take away the other magician ’s staff. Divine stone, it is one with the power of the magician.

Enril was suddenly silent, and Grieve waited quietly for a long time before hearing the voice of the gods again, echoing with laughter in the void: "Poor priest, I do n’t know how you will face the faith in your heart You do n’t understand the gods, the people here adore and worship me, I wo n’t take away those **** stones on the wall, that is the wealth that the city-state has accumulated for many years. If I do this, everyone will resent and stay away from me, you Want me to destroy the dignity of the temple by myself? "

"But what about Duke Town? No one survived the flood!" Ge Lie shouted in his soul.

"The flood is my blessing to the city of Syria, I will hear the cheers of all people, my temple will flood into the tide as a thankful believer, and soon you will understand all of this .... As for Duke Do you want to ask me why I didn't save them in the flood? Why should I save them? ... It's ridiculous, I actually explained this boring question to you mortal! "

Enrille's voice said something, and at the same time, a message suddenly appeared in Ge Lie's mind, which contained various sounds and pictures. It was a series of tragedies in Duke.

"Priest, did you see that? They have abandoned the sign of the patron saint, and Goddess Mu Yun has no reason to keep it there, so I will bless the land again. The flood is my blessing, but people ca n’t just To enjoy the blessings of the gods, I don't need to save the sinners in the flood. "Enril's voice sounded again, as if an irresistible verdict.

For a long time, Ge Lie struggled and asked again: "But the entire town of Duke has been destroyed, and somebody must be innocent."

Enrille's voice became scornful: "When the sin spreads to every corner, the flood will not tell who is innocent. I don't need to save sin in the flood, nor do you need to rescue what you call the innocent. In my eyes They belong to the Duke township and have abandoned the protection of the deities.

Mortal life will usher in death in just a short life. Don't forget that they are all members of Duke Town. Everyone has a responsibility. They should blame the calamity brought by the clan people, and blame themselves for what they did to recover? Since it is irretrievable in the end, the whole ship is destroyed. "

The words of the gods were not easy to understand. Enril said that the flood was his blessing, and that Duke was not worth saving in the disaster. Gelei finally raised his head and asked, "Great god, did you bring this flood?"

Enril said coldly, "I will not answer such stupid questions again!"

Gelei asked again, "What about the fate of Syria?"

Enril: "This is to ask you, to ask yourself!" He said no more after saying this. Gore felt that the sense of oppression stared at by the idol had disappeared-the **** had left.

Grief remained silent in the temple for a long time, carefully pondering the words spoken by the deities, and then drew back to the scene where Nietzsche rushed into the sky, pondering every detail seen in the flood. What did Nietzsche want to tell him? What does Enril mean? He meditated all night alone, and when a glimmer of light appeared in the distant sky, he suddenly understood something.

Enrille just launched a heavy rain, and as seen by Ge Lie himself, it may be just the simplest air magic, but it contains almost endless divine power. Enrille used divine power to change the direction of the airflow swirling in the Assyrian Plateau, causing it to collide with warm and wet winds from the ocean, which caused continuous heavy rain.

The gods on the clouds manipulate only the strong winds and lightning. When the high air flow confronts a natural vortex, he no longer needs to use his divine power, and the rainstorm will go directly to the end. Trying to stop the heavy rain will take a greater amount of magical power than launching it. Enril just launched and did not intend to expend more power to stop it.

In the silent temple, Ge Lie's body was trembling, as if she was sick, and seemed to be cold, but her face was flushed. As the chief priest of the Temple of Enril in the city of Syria, and the great wizard who swore an oath in front of the gods, he can only have three options--

The first is to piously publicize the miracles of Enril, and he does not hesitate to believe what the gods say, this is a blessing to the city of Syria, and a sin that washed away Duke. Enril described the disaster as what blessing actually meant, and Greg had speculated. If this is the case, Ge Lie is still the same as before, and nothing has changed. But he could not forget the scene of the old lunatic rushing into the sky, and that scene had been deeply imprinted in his soul.

The second is to betray Enlil. This is contrary to his vows and beliefs. After the belief is shaken, the achievement of divine magic may also be severely hit and may even lose its power.

The third is the hardest thing to do. He must take a calm and rational view of all this, review his life and the experiences of other people he has encountered, and keep his mind at a higher level of transcendence. Ge Lie inexplicably remembered the records in the divine scriptures, that the magician would never understand the last test he faced in order to obtain the final nine-level achievement. Is this the meaning? It's too difficult, it will swallow the soul!

No one knows how Gorek spent the night in the temple, and how did he pray to the gods? When he walked out of the temple after dawn, it was discovered that the distinguished great wizard had an indescribable sense of sorrow and deep helplessness in his eyes.

"The divine spirit has shown that this is the test that the city-state will face. After the flood, there will be well-being. But whether we can welcome that well-being is all our own. Do n’t ask what the **** has given, come with me to the wall to resist this flood. This is our struggle! "Ge Lie said to everyone, then he reached the tower with his staff.

When Ge Lie came to the city wall again, the water had already flooded the city wall, how high the two were, and it was still rising slowly. Looking out into the vast and unusually clean area, the city of Syria was like a huge lonely boat protected by the wall in the flood. The city wall looks very strong, but the water outside the city is higher than the ground inside the city. It will withstand increasing lateral pressure. After all, the city wall built in this arid area is not a dam.

The weak part of the wall may not be able to withstand this pressure, and as the water immersion time is longer and the pressure drop caused by the water level is getting larger, some parts of the city wall will be soaked, collapsed or leaked. At this time, the magical array played a role, connecting the entire circle of the city wall into one, either all collapsed, or persisted to the end completely.

Ge Lie slowly walked around the city, and the pupils of the earth in the staff stimulated the divine power, using the simplest and most useful earth elemental magic to strengthen each section of the city wall. For the time being, he thought about nothing else and couldn't think about it. He could only think about two things: Will the height of the flood eventually rise across the lowest part of the wall, and can the flood recede before the power is exhausted?

The great magician did not rest for a few days and nights. The slow pace of walking around the city never stopped, with a solemn and pious expression, but there always seemed to be a shining light in his eyes. sky.

...

In the east of Gelie, on the deep mountain plateau in the valley of the Youdi River, in the tribe of cave savages, a "god" cried. He is certainly not a real deity like Enlil, but he is regarded by this tribe as "a messenger of the gods", and some people simply call him "Amon God".

The wailing sound came from the burning cave. The patriarch Lin Ke looked at each other, and no one dared to bother. Only Schrödinger crouched at the entrance of the cave, staring at Amon with a peculiar gaze.
