Become a martial girl

Chapter 414 Visiting the Water City
Father Cotton smiled and said: "My child, there are many kinds of gods. The God of War full of anger and strength is indeed feared by people, but besides that, there are many gods in this world. A certain place is silently praised by people. For example, the god of beautiful love, the god of regulating agriculture, the god of wise knowledge, and the god of changing seasons. Although the gods have been sealed now, even behind the seal, They are still trying their best to use their power to influence the world."

"My child, gods will not be born suddenly. The reason why gods are called gods is not because they are powerful, so we will be afraid and respect them. The reason why those existences are called gods is completely It’s because they have our faith and are worth relying on.”

"The Goddess created the world, and even though it wasn't perfect, we respected her. Because if she didn't create the world, we wouldn't even belong."

"The human heart is fragile and needs to find a support. Just like you, child. Now, you are the princess's support. In other words, you have the princess' faith. Only when people's belief in you reaches a certain level At that time, then you will naturally become a god. And the concept of wanting to become a god first and then make people believe in it is putting the cart before the horse."

A simple sentence instantly broke the shackles in Mengdie's mind!She suddenly realized, thinking back, why didn't she think about this kind of thing before?Thinking about it carefully, the foundation of Sun Dasheng who is fighting against himself is the belief of the people, the power that yearns for freedom.And Miss Joan of Arc, who is known as the saint in French legends, was able to become a god revered by people even now in France after she was supported by people!
"Violence...can solve many problems, but not all problems. Instead of using force to make the other party submit, how about moving the other party with sincerity and resolving conflicts in this world? Power in the mouth of God actually has many meanings , It’s not superficial destruction that makes people feel the existence of power. My child, go experience the true meaning of power and find your own source of power. If it were you, I believe you can do it.”

Father Cotton's words came to an end amidst the sound of the waves.After finishing speaking, he patted Mengdie on the shoulder again, and walked to the laboratory behind the hut to conduct research on the curse.Only Mengdie, who was still accompanied by the white wolf, was left standing on the beach.

Under the moonlight, silvery white light shone on the girl's white hands.Mengdie looked at her hands, and what Father Cotton said just now echoed in her mind——

"Violence...can solve many problems, but not all problems..."

………Yes, even the greatest goddess has not been able to solve the world’s problems with violence.And doubts like Coco, Emily and the others cannot be solved with fists!

Powerful... what does it mean to be strong?It is not that destruction and fear are the only meanings of being called powerful. In this world, there is another kind of powerful!

Now, I finally understand.

————————————————————————————

In the early morning of the next day, the sun slowly rose from the other side of the sea level, and the golden brilliance hit spots of light on the turbulent water, like countless and inexhaustible gold.

After a good night's rest, Mengdie looked refreshed at this moment.She put on her clothes, combed her hair, pushed open the bedroom door and walked into the living room with firm eyes.After she finished preparing a sumptuous breakfast, by coincidence, she just ran into Edward who had just returned from the laboratory after a busy night.

"Hi, good morning."

Mengdie's hearty good morning made Edward a little hard to accept.You know, Mengdie has been ignoring Edward for quite a long time, so long that he even forgot the last time he saw her smile at him!
"Oh...early...good morning!" Edward hastily responded to the greeting, stretching his tired eyes, not quite understanding.

Mengdie didn't care, after she put all the breakfast on the table, she grabbed two slices of toast, bit one in her mouth, waved the other and walked out.

"All the meals are ready. Are you tired after a busy night? Go to bed early after eating."

Mengdie brushed past Edward's side, shaking the bread and smiling.Seeing her like this, Edward's heart moved, and he quickly stretched out his hand to grab Mengdie's wrist.

"what happened?"

Unlike before, Mengdie didn't push away impatiently, but turned around, biting the bread while showing a questioning look.

"Ah...no...it's nothing..." Embarrassed, Edward let go of his hand instantly.Looking at Mengdie, the prince didn't know what to say!In an instant, a feeling of annoyance flooded into his heart.

(Edward, Edward, when Mengdie didn't pay any attention to you before, you just wanted to make fun of it. Now when she is in such a good mood and is still smiling at you, why can't you say a word? You like this , Are you still worthy of being a person of Silver Moon? Are you still worthy of being a student of Teacher Sardinia???!!!)

Mengdie didn't know what Edward was thinking with his dark face, as if he was facing a life-or-death decision.She asked again, and seeing that Edward still didn't speak, she pushed open the door, whistled at the white wolf lying on the grass in the distance and staring straight at a cow, and called it over.

"White wolf, white wolf, don't attack those animals indiscriminately. They have curses on them. If you eat them, you might get infected yourself. Do you understand?"

The white wolf whined twice and lowered his head.After scratching the turf twice with its claws, it finally put it away.Mengdie smiled, hugged its neck and patted it. After one person and one wolf exchanged feelings with each other, Mengdie turned around and smiled at Edward again——

"Today, I want to visit the Mercury Empire. So when Sasara and the others come, can you tell me?"

The girl's smile was even more dazzling than the rising sun. Edward stood at the door blankly, his lips trembling, but he couldn't say anything.Having already been under the spell of "petrification", he could only quietly watch the girl leave, watch her go to the beach, prop up the boat, jump on board with the white wolf, and head to the nearest large island to Gena Island. Cross it out, until Sasha and Huo Meng walked out of the laboratory holding a lot of materials, they still stared blankly, at a loss for what to do.

"Huh? The food is ready? Your Highness Edward, where is Sister Mengdie?"

Sasara glanced at the table, and immediately knew that it was Mengdie's masterpiece, and then asked Edward who was standing at the door.

"She...she went to visit the city........Wow!!! I...I'm such an idiot! Fool----!!! Why didn't I say to go with her just now? I'm such an idiot what--!!!"

What puzzled Sasara was that the prince in front of her suddenly became hysterical!He rushed into his room crying and howling, closed the door, didn't even eat, and said something completely incomprehensible inside.Facing Edward like this, not only Sasara's face was full of question marks, but even Father Cotton, who arrived later, couldn't help frowning.

"Teacher, do you see...?"

"Forget it, let's eat. Now I just want to consolidate the research results of last night with the previous ones. By the way, is it dangerous for that girl to visit the city alone? I don't know the place...you don't want to go Are you with her alone?"

Hormon was the first to respond to Father Cotton's proposal.The dwarf put the information in his hand on the balcony, and immediately jumped to the table and swallowed: "Danger? Ann! We are in danger and the little girl will not be in danger. And there is also the white wolf." Now, an army of 100 people is no match for her. Compared with it, it is more important to eat immediately and then sleep immediately! Then get up immediately, and then continue to do research immediately! Time waits for no one, and neither do my people !"

Sasara gave a wry smile, and gave up the idea of ​​accompanying Mengdie in her heart.For one thing, Mengdie would indeed not be in any danger.Secondly, the whole night's research has exhausted her, she just wants to fall asleep, and she can't get up the energy to visit the city at all.

Leaving aside the small island of Gena, which had gradually quieted down after a busy night, he turned his gaze back to Mengdie.She rowed a small boat and gradually approached the country of a thousand islands. Even from a distance on the sea, she could enjoy the unique and beautiful scenery of this island country to her heart's content.

Every island in the Mercury Empire is a small city with its own characteristics.The empire's islands are basically divided into four major areas: the military area, the commercial area, the residential area, and the capital area.Each small island in each large region will form a certain construction scale according to the characteristics of the island.In addition to the military area, various ships can be seen coming and going between the other three major areas at all times, and communication and exchanges are very common.And because this empire is rich in water magic, the number of "miracles" of water here can be regarded as rare in other places.

A ship made of transparent ice crystals passed slowly beside Mengdie's boat.In the captain's room is an old captain who is smoking a pipe but resting his hands on a magic circle.Such a ship may be treated as a legend in Silver Moon, or the Luwell Empire, but here, it seems to be just a very basic means of transportation. The passengers on the ship chat and laugh with each other, and they don't feel any emotion about the ship at all. surprise.
