Chapter 305 Variables
"There are some issues for which there is no third camp. It's either/or. It's that simple. Neutral camp? It doesn't exist at all." Olanna smiled mysteriously, "Some gods want to take the initiative to do something. , but the gods we serve think their ideas are too radical and shouldn’t be done, so they don’t want them to succeed.”

"This matter must be completed with the participation of many gods." Shuer said thoughtfully, "At least a large part of it."

"Well, the gods and temples have to be involved. It does require a lot of participation. At least half of the gods are enough."

"Oh, I understand. Keeping yourself out of the matter is actually a disguised form of obstruction. The more so-called neutral people there are, the less likely their plan will succeed."

"That's right, so there is no neutral camp, just them and others who don't want to participate." Olanna naturally avoided what it was about and explained roughly, "In the past month, we have contacted many temples. Let many temples make choices in advance and no longer stand on their side. Haha, their plans have been destroyed by us almost before they started. However, it is only almost, and there is still one biggest problem that has not been solved. .”

"Sky gods?"

"No, it's you."

Xiure smiled bitterly, yes, it is indeed me.

"Similar secret contests have occurred many times among the gods. Of course, the purpose of the contest has never been as serious as this time, but the method is similar."

"In previous contests, both sides rarely took the sky god system into consideration. The adults in the sky rarely participated deeply, and the adults on the ground were also used to excluding them from the scope of the plan. This has become a tacit understanding. . However, this time the problem is more serious, so you must be taken into consideration. After all, there are 120 eight Holy Spirits in the Sky God System, [-] of whom are at the main god level. Whichever side they stand on will tilt the balance of victory. Especially now, at the most critical moment when they failed almost a day ago, the choice of the Sky God System has become the focus of the competition."

"Originally, there is no need to worry about you. The gods of the sky are free and loose, and they are not as radical as those people. Even the gods with bad tempers like Ms. Ye, Semiya, can at most only use their divine power to fight with Mr. Hades through the air. That’s it (just?), their rhetoric is actually very difficult to be effective. They themselves know it, so the gods we serve should not have to worry about your position, but..."

"However..." Shuer pointed at himself and Lisa, "The recent behavior of the Dark Moon Temple has brought about changes."

"Yes, your appearance has changed the habits of the Dark Moon Temple for thousands of years, and has also broken the gods' views on Lady Luna."

"Well, I don't expect to know what the adults think of my lord at all." Shuer touched his nose and smiled awkwardly. Even if he thought with his toes, he could figure out that it was not a good impression.

"Oh, there is nothing we can do about it. After all, the day when Lady Luna became personified from the belief in mortal things and began to take charge of the power of Dark Moon, the final outcome was already doomed." Olanna sighed, She sighed softly, "It is difficult for gods to be born who cannot be perceived by mortal things. After all, it is difficult for people to believe in existences that cannot be perceived. Lady Luna is not a conceptual existence like the Lord of Knowledge, but a physical god. This This makes birth even more difficult. After all, only the call of faith can prompt the gods to face mortal things in person."

"It's difficult to be born, and it's even harder to maintain existence, plus Lady Luna's kind of... divine power and personality." Olanna euphemistically covered up the awkward description, "In the eyes of the gods, the Dark Moon can exist to this day. , it is already a miracle that even the gods have to sigh. If it weren’t for the meteorite rains that occur at irregular intervals for hundreds or even thousands of years, Lady Luna has been using her divine body to bear it for Parvatija, I am afraid that the mortal beings would have already taken her. Forgotten.”

"However, you and Lord Lisa have begun to take charge of the Dark Moon Temple, and you have brought about changes. Heh, you took the initiative to reach out, not to preach in violation of the teachings, but to bind interests."

"The way you lead the temple and serve Lady Luna, even though we, the servants of the gods, cannot see it, our Lord and Lady Wendy can see it. Including your climbing to strengthen yourself, which eventually reduced the size of the temple. Although the plan to expand to the point where it can be self-supporting without any attachments is extremely secular, so much so that no one was willing to even think about it before, but even the two adults had to admit that maybe this is indeed a feasible method. It can completely push Lady Luna, who has been between existence and sleep for most of the past 10 years, to escape from the unstable future."

"However, when the two adults learned that someone was going to form an alliance, a problem arose. We can give you what you want, so you exchange benefits with us. What if they also give you these? You will do the same. Bundle interests with them.”

"Well, that is indeed the case." Shuer said matter-of-factly, "I didn't know about the problems you were struggling with in advance, but I'm not hopelessly stupid, so the benefits of putting them in front of me without any reason, I can’t think of anything other than bait.”

"It can be seen that you are a very confident person. Please tell me, if the baits were big enough, wouldn't you really want to eat them with your hair?"

"Hahaha, how is that possible? If the bait is so tempting, then there is always a way to eat the bait without biting the hook." "Look, that's the problem. If I don't pull you over first, Once those people come into contact with you and understand your true thoughts, you will naturally understand that you actually have no inclination, and the gods of other sky gods will have no reason to lean towards us. So, everything comes back to At the origin, who of the two sides has the upper hand has become unknown again.”

"Well, so you used two methods. The first step was to bring us to the Water Temple to give everyone a false impression, and at the same time to prevent us from being drawn in without knowing anything. The second step was to bring us to the Water Temple. Step forward, convene this meeting as quickly as possible, explain everything to me clearly, prevent me from becoming rebellious because of your methods, and simply join the opposite camp."

"However, we still underestimate your reason." Olanna said with admiration, "Not only did you not rebel, you didn't even have any anger. Even if Ms. Angela was angry for you, you didn't express dissatisfaction, and And I can figure it all out as quickly as possible.”

"So I said, except for me losing the game of scheming, our Dark Moon Temple has nothing to lose. Your actions have not affected the revival plan of our temple. You have not blocked our way. It didn't hurt us, so I have nothing to be dissatisfied about." Shuer suddenly laughed and shook his head and said, "As for the rebellious spirit? God, how naive am I to get sulky just because I lost a game? ?”

"But, in fact, your interests are still damaged."

"Well, that's the theory, because in order to lure us into taking the bait, the other party is likely to offer more considerable benefits. Since I didn't get it from your behavior, I will inevitably have complaints against you. Haha, regard things that don't belong to you as It's your own. Many people do have such unrealistic ideas, and they will resent others because they don't get it." Shuer suddenly pointed at himself, "But, I am a very realistic person. I can only hold it in my hand. The best things are the things I don’t have in my hands. No matter how good the benefits are, I may not exchange them with what I have in hand. After all, this thing is not a commodity exchange.”

"If I want to get those things, even if I don't know in advance, the final result will be that I will lose the things I have already obtained from the two adults. If I understand this, I will no longer feel that those things belong to me."

"Because compared to temptations that don't know whether they can be fulfilled, things that are already certain are more tempting. For example, the promises that Lady Wendy has fulfilled, the promises that Lady Anika has made but has not yet had time to fulfill, and... The other three adults are about to make promises on behalf of the three gods. Oh, yes, there are three of them. The matter between the Temple of Knowledge and the Temple of Dark Moon may have to be settled separately. Professor Melda must have thought so too. "

"You are so greedy." The ice fairy Persephone, who had never spoken before, spoke, and the temperature in the room dropped a lot. "We never said we would make any promises."

"Lady Persephone, Lady Olanna just said that she is worried that I will have a rebellious mentality and become angry and resentful. This is actually an obvious indication that in order to appease the deceived fools like us in the Dark Moon Temple, It will definitely give us something worth forgetting the past. Oh, how can this be considered greedy? After all, I endured the pain and grievance in my heart to discuss it with you adults. It is common sense that you adults should give me some compensation. Well. As for what it is, it doesn’t matter. I think you adults will not let me down."

"You are so straightforward." Persephone's breath seemed to freeze the air. "You don't hide your purpose at all."

"My lords, since you are so honest, it would be too hypocritical for me to be so tactful. Moreover, there is no shame in pursuing interests. More money, greater power, higher status, and more abundant power of faith, Whether they are humans or gods, they are actually running for profit all the time, I just put them in the open, of course, just in front of all the adults."

"You can also use this to deepen our goodwill." Olanna added for him.

"Hahaha, I am such a straightforward person, how can I say that I want to use this to deepen my goodwill."

"Greedy gold-eating beast, so straightforward." Angela muttered 'quietly'.

"So, the Dark Moon Temple and Lord Seul said they don't mind this friendly joke?" Archbishop Minnie never intervened, and Oranna was fully responsible. After all, this is not a joke that can cover up past problems. It is still very important to deal with several temples or even two camps. Olanna and Shuur are both humans and are more familiar with human habits. It is safer for Olanna to take the lead. Until now, the situation has turned to the best. development, she got involved.

"All glory goes to the Lord. Whether you mind or accept your 'good intentions' is ultimately decided by my Lord. However, I think based on my Lord's character, he shouldn't mind. Of course, I have been calculated once, and there is no such thing as Who would happily toast to celebrate, but even if you mind, I’m afraid it’s not directed at you adults, because we are actually all victims.”

"Ok?"

"Don't you think someone played a very subtle role in this incident?"
