I, the Lord of the End

Chapter 87, The World of Two

The winter snowflakes drifted past the two standing by the glacier, and the world covered in white seemed to have many colors in an instant. The white-haired boy and the white-haired girl stood beside the glacier, smiling at each other.

After hearing Celeste's words of affirmation, Sid subconsciously stretched out his hand to pinch the Angel's Tears, and the last bit of will remaining in this small pendant was gradually disintegrating.

"Why, you held it so tightly before and refused to give it to me, but now you are willing to give it to me?" Sid didn't have the strength to rush to open this artifact.

He was seriously injured this time, and he poured all the liquid from the Holy Grail of Nightmare in one breath, but he still didn't fully recover. After helping Celiste up and watching the princess take out the unknown green potion from the space ring and drink it Then Sid said: "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. No one knows whether the devil will come after him again. Let's find a place nearby to rest and recuperate before we talk about it."

"Okay." Celeste looked very weak. If it weren't for the power of the sublimation of the royal blood, she would have died twice with this fall.

It can be seen from this that, as the founder of the Holy Empire, what a rich legacy Emperor Romani left to his descendants. 5000 years have passed, and even today, the sublimation of the emperor's blood can still save the emperor's daughter at an altitude of several hundred meters.

A man and a woman washed their wounds with ice water from the glacier, left the place, and left the place according to the guidance of the compass and the map.

However, although the devil might catch up, Sid and Celeste didn't take it too seriously. First of all, the distance is too far. Unless the devil collectively jumps off the cliff unscathed, it is impossible for them to catch up in a short time. The second is that Sid has the invisibility technique of the shadow of the mountain, and has just been promoted to the hero rank. In this case, unless there is a legendary demon tracker, it is wishful thinking to catch up and find Sid.

In short, they're safe.

Wrapping the cloak tightly, Sid led Celeste along the edge of the forest. Along the way, Sid kept playing with the pendant on his chest. Celeste felt a little dissatisfied and a little funny at the same time with his cautious look. : "Didn't I say it, I gave it to you, why do you still look so afraid of losing it? I keep my word and I won't regret it."

"This is really one of the best gifts I've ever received. I want to cherish this time, and I want to cherish it." Sid's face was still a little pale, partly because he was injured too badly before, and even Sin Nightmare All the serum in the Holy Grail cannot be recovered, on the other hand, it is because of the weakness caused by the two emperor blood sublimation activations in a short period of time.

"You deserve my reward and I believe I have found the right man."

There seemed to be fire in the princess's eyes, making Sid dare not look directly into her eyes.

On the way, Sid checked his gear.

The two Hidden Blades have been scrapped, and the rope has been broken on the cliff. All he can use now is the short sword hanging on his chest, the swift sword at his waist, and the shotgun behind him. His cloak is almost like a rag , the chain armor also left many paw prints, of course the biggest wound was the bone nail of the red-haired youth.

Sid told Celeste his judgment. His guess was that the red-haired young man might not have come for the princess, and Sid suspected that the red-haired young man might have come for Whitney or himself.

Celesty thought that no matter what, the other party was already dead, so there was no need to continue the discussion. Instead, the princess worried about the safety of Hui Ha and the others: "Are your two brothers going to be okay?"

"No." Sid shook his head very positively.

Sid is not worried about the safety of Whitney and Fogg. First of all, although Whitney is very fragile as a Juggernaut, the Juggernaut's speed is very fast, and Fogg should be able to escape, because at the beginning of the battle, Fogg They have already used the Karsus Box to activate the teleportation technique. As long as they can escape a short distance, Fogg's teleportation technique can be activated, and there is no problem in getting rid of the devil temporarily.

Breaking out from this position towards the west is either to return to the Principality of the Wolf or to the Principality of the Raven. No matter where you go, as the Whitney Silver Hand Clan and the Fogg Cold Iron Clan, it is impossible to encounter too much trouble. They felt a little pity that they missed the rare opportunity to meet His Holiness the Holy See.

Celeste didn't have as many thoughts as Sid in her heart. The princess held Sid's arm and half leaned on his body. The two of them enjoyed the magnificent snowy scenery of the Julian Mountains and the lonely deserted road in the mountains. Feeling the beautiful snowflakes falling on the shoulders of the two, the princess thought that those two guys had fulfilled their duties, and it would be much more convenient for her and Sid to be left now.

Both of them were not in good condition, they followed the glacier and searched for the village.

This is true in any world. Crowds will gather near water sources. Once the crowd gathers, they will form a village. They need to find a safe place to rest overnight.

After walking for more than two hours, as the road widened and farmland appeared, both Sid and the queen realized that there must be a village or even a small town nearby.

Places like the Julian Mountains will form settlements as long as there is enough cultivated farmland. They are like isolated islands in the barren ocean, relying on a small amount of cultivated land and nearby pastures to supply their living needs.

In Sid's previous life, many modern people did not understand the strong sense of loneliness and fear of the unknown in the Hindu mythology. There are tens of thousands of people in the community. When a flat is divided into five or six single rooms, and when the commuting subway is crowded, it is indeed difficult for people to understand the atmosphere in the myth of Kexi.

This world is different. After walking for nearly three hours, when Sid and Celesty really saw the town appearing in front of them, the joy was indescribable in words.

This small town is called Shenxi Town, with a population of about a few hundred. The town has a simple wall of two or three meters high, and there are patrols on patrol.

Whether it is a werewolf or a Rezlan in the Julian Mountains, they are often strong and full of martial arts. They patrol the nearby area under the leadership of some veterans, wearing leather armor or breastplate, using swords and shields, Shortbows, hard crossbows, some people like to use axes.

Occasionally a firearm or two can be seen.

Firearms have been strictly prohibited by the Holy Empire since they were invented by the dwarves, because firearms can allow an unemployed person who has no awakened professional talent to kill a first- and second-tier professional as long as he learns to simply load it.

That's right, the nobles basically have the strength of the model level, and they are not afraid of firearms when they reach the third level, but the nobles also have vassals, subordinates, and servants, and they don't have the strength of the model level. Wouldn't the nobles feel distressed to death in exchange for a life?
Therefore, when firearms appeared at the end of the Fourth Dynasty, the Griffin Dynasty immediately announced that firearms were "creatures of the devil" and should be completely banned. , the Seven Shields Alliance in the Southwest, the mercenaries in Rezland, and the Principality of Wallace all chose to introduce firearms.

The final outcome was that the Holy Empire was forced to cancel the banning order, but it still stipulated that Sivis and Seuss were not allowed to hide firearms.

The patrol team saw Sid and Celeste as a matter of course. The patrol leader is a retired veteran with scars all over his face and lost an eye. He is very unfriendly when he sees foreigners, especially in this season when he travels and takes risks. Unusual thing.

As usual, with Sid's white hair and wolf accent, the patrol captain immediately told him that his friend had come and had good wine, but before saying goodbye, the patrol captain patted the battle ax on his waist to signal Sid and Celeste Don't make trouble.

Seeing the performance of the patrol captain, Sid immediately took out a few copper coins from his body and stuffed them into the captain's hand: "Here, buy a glass of ale for the brothers."

After entering the town, Celeste asked curiously: "Why did you give him money? The salary of the patrol captain should not be bad, and patrolling is also his obligation and responsibility."

"It's worth a glass of ale just for the two slaps of my ax at him." Sid nodded slightly: "We both have white hair, although we don't show any features, but we are aimed at you and me. The royal cloak knows that he is not an ordinary adventurer, even so, he still issued a warning to us, which is a sign of responsibility and a symbol of courage."

"You always show a little bit of sympathy in strange places." Celesty commented on Sid's performance: "Actually, judging from your resume, you should hate werewolves. Didn't you almost get burned at the stake?" Fight? They say you are a follower of the devil."

"Once? Yes, but now, no more." Sid looked at the town under the winter with a smile: "Let's go, we will spend the night here today."

Just entering the town, the largest building oncoming is the chapel of Jupiter, the lord of heaven, which is also the largest and most exquisite building in the town.

A chapel is a slightly lower level building than a shrine or a temple. Generally, there will only be one priest and a few paladins in it. Occasionally, there will be more people when there are circuit courts passing by or festivals.

But the appearance of this chapel meant that Sid and the queen had entered the "safe zone", and the devils would not approach the chapel at will unless they had to, which meant that the Lord of Heaven might make a move.

This shows how insane the guy from Wolfsburg is.

Celeste is quite interested in things in the countryside. The princess frowned after looking more at the chapel in the dusk: "There seems to be something wrong with this statue. I remember that the Lord of Heaven doesn't look like this. Compared with Speaking of the Lord of Heaven, He is more like..."

Having said that, the princess closed her mouth.

Sid nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "It's really not right."

Normally, the appearance of Jupiter, the lord of heaven, is usually depicted as a tall, thin man with silver hair, a short and shallow silver-white beard, and a soft golden glow on his skin.He held a scepter in one hand, and a huge law code in the other. He wore a large and flowing purple-black (sometimes purple and sometimes black) robe, decorated with golden "star" and silver "moon" patterns.

Before him, you have to bow your heart to the awe-inspiring majesty, the power that comes from the majesty of the law.

But the god who appeared in front of the two was a radiant lady, wearing a creamy white flowing cape, holding a pure gold scale in her hand - almost translucent gold, with a very bold high slit under the cape The nun's robe, wearing a blue and white turban, and using a cloth to cover her eyes, has an almost perfect figure and gorgeous long hair hanging straight to the ground.

"This is not Jupiter at all." Celeste said strangely: "This is obviously the crown of the great priest. I have seen Cecilia crowned several times, and she looks like this."

"That's right, this is the great priest." Sid nodded.

What is the origin of the gods of heaven?No one knows about it anymore. The known information so far is that the gods of heaven appeared at the end of the Dragon God era, and they were in a hostile relationship with the Dragon God lineage as soon as they came up. For a long time, it dealt a devastating blow to the mortal world.

Among them, three gods are particularly important in the battle of the ancient gods, so they are also called "THE THIRD" respectively:

Jupiter, lord of heaven and god of law.

Osiris, Lord of Hades and God of Vengeance.

The lord of war, the god of war Serapis.

These three deities, plus six others, make up the heavenly pantheon.

After the defeat of the dragon god gods, the heaven gods also became the ruling gods, but the attitudes of these three gods towards mortals are quite different.

Serapis, the god of war, is a moody god. He once killed a mortal hero by accident in the battle of the ancient gods. Serapis was extremely guilty of this, so he resolutely rejected any church small group The existence of pan-faith is only allowed.

As long as there is still war on the mainland, the God of War will never lack faith, and he will almost never support a certain force or certain person. His style is to jump left and right. Whoever plays well supports who is his creed. Will help anyone achieve victory, only reward the brave and the victor.

Osiris, the god of the underworld, is a taciturn god. Osiris, who masters the kingdom of the underworld, does not like large-scale churches. Most of his followers exist in the form of small religious orders. These believers pay attention to "justification by faith" and engage in burial The deceased and other service providers related to various after-death affairs.

To put it simply, these people are engaged in the complete one-stop service of Sid's past life funeral home, and they have a complete monopoly, but they never try to expand their business.

The entire empire has a population of 4000 million, and the underworld monks do not know if there are 1.

Only Jupiter, the lord of heaven, is keen to spread his beliefs, and has established a very large and hierarchical church system in heaven.

The number of clergy and surrounding personnel of all Churches of Heaven exceeds 100 million people.

Jupiter's teachings are:
"Law is authority. Law maintains the order of society, otherwise the world will fall into chaos."

"The function of the law is unshakable. It is just as natural as the sun rising every day. All disputes and crimes can be perfectly resolved in the law."

In short, this is a "manager God", and His attitude towards everything is "should have been taken care of" and "should be taken care of".

But according to historical records, when the Holy Empire was first established, Jupiter often manifested himself, and there was even a record of personally dealing with the Worldbreaker and the Devil Monarch. However, as time went by, the time for the gods of heaven to manifest themselves became less and less , and in the end there were almost no holy appearances except for major events.

Jupiter's last appearance was after the Hell Expedition incident. He canonized Cecilia as a high priest and announced that she was the mortal spokesperson of the heavenly pantheon, and everyone should obey her orders.

"It's been more than 20 years now. Since the great priest issued the oracle instead of the Lord of Heaven all day long, over time, the countryside of the empire, especially the side near Rezlan, has recognized the High Priest as the Lord of Heaven and worshiped it." Sid explained to the princess: "Gradually, everyone began to enshrine the statue of the Lord of Heaven who looks like the High Priest."

"This is... too strange." The princess really felt very strange, although because she is a great priest canonized by the Lord of Heaven, even if Cecilia is worshiped as Jupiter, most of the power of faith will be lost. Flowing into the Lord of Heaven, but this will undoubtedly cause a certain divergence of beliefs. Why didn't the Lord of Heaven come out to stop it?

"I don't know, but we need to understand a fact, that is, Cecilia is the most recent success of the Holy See Supreme. She stepped into the Void Realm and successfully met the True God of the Void Realm!" Sid suddenly said meaningfully. "No one knows what happened," he said.

The princess fell into deep thought.

And Sid's opinion is: Maybe the Lord of Heaven is the most powerful existence among the gods and the leader of the gods in the forefront of fighting power, but in front of the ring that hangs above everything in the universe, maybe he is no different from an ant .

The Supreme Holy See of the Light Elves, "Song of the Sky", Celeborn-Silver Hand, once commented on that true God.

"God said let there be light, and there was light!"

This is the gold content of that "True God"!
And that's the only reason why He is called "True God" by everyone!
