He sighed softly: "I heard a saying, when you can no longer have it. The only thing you can do is to let yourself not forget.
If I used to have nothing, I can feel that there is no nostalgia in this world, and I can go for a while.
And now, I can no longer forget the two of you. "
After all, Neos raised his eyelids and looked at the two smiling.
It's the same smile. He used to smile on the surface without smiling, with a cold and deep smile, and a smile that repelled people for thousands of miles.
But now he, Boudica and Anya could feel that he was really laughing because he wanted to.
The two couldn't help but whisper.
"Nios."
"master."
Neos nodded, accepted the address of the two, then got up and paced the room.
"Since I choose to assist you, part of it is out of my promise to the old man. No matter what thoughts I have later, I can't make up for my partiality at the beginning."
"So I'm going to do one more thing, and this time it's not because of my plans or because of any promises."
He stopped and turned to look at the mother and daughter: "It's just for you."
"What do you want?" Boudica asked.
"Is this the sacrifice?" Anya frowned.
Neos nodded with satisfaction: "Well, that's why I asked you in the first place, do you know why human beings sacrifice."
"Hey, but we already have a god, don't want anything else." Boudicat waved his hands in disgust.
Anya and Neos laughed at the same time.
They both realized that the woman was trying to reassure people in this joking way.
Clumsy, ineffective, but inexplicably warm.
"No, I won't let the gods intervene in our rule, and neither can they." Neos shook his head, his tone firm and firm.
"Then what do you want?"
Neos pondered for a moment, and began to tell the story from the beginning: "Do you know that in the beginning, the appearance of gods was different from that of humans."
"It was thousands of years ago, when humans worshiped the gods for the first time, the power of human belief was concentrated in the godheads of the gods, and the appearance of the gods became the same as that of humans."
"The power of faith?" Anya repeated the phrase, thinking about what it represented.
"Yes, just like Avalon and the kingdom of the dead, or the underworld and heaven, etc., this concept of where human souls belong exists in every god system."
Neos nodded: "This is because when human beings die, the magic power of the soul, even the gods are greedy for it.
And the beliefs of human beings will guide the way for the soul.If you believe in heaven, your soul will return to heaven, if you believe in Avalon, your soul will return to Avalon.
The purpose of the sacrifice is not only to guide the soul, but also to conclude a contract with the gods.
Human beings send their souls, and gods bless the living people for their safety. "
"So our beliefs are all false?"
Boudica's voice trembled: "The souls of our ancestors, the Celts, were all stolen by the so-called gods...
In fact, Avalon does not exist at all, it is just the dining table of the gods. "
"No, Avalon is special." Neos shook his head.
Anya asked, "Why?"
"Because in my limited memory, there is a myth that records that the Danu Protoss who ruled Britain have long been overthrown.
At that time, Avalon was independent and became the pure land of Celtic soul. said Neos.
Overthrow, the rule of the Protoss...
Just imagining the scene represented by this sentence makes people shudder.
Anya closed her eyes slightly, as if she could see the war between the gods and the rebellion of human souls.
"So this time the sacrifice will be the largest and most formal ceremony since Rome ruled the whole island.
And the real purpose of holding this ceremony...is for you! "
Neos said in a deep voice, then suddenly paused, looking at the mother and daughter calmly.
Mother and daughter in unison: "For... us?"
Neos nodded heavily, showing a cold and ferocious smile: "Yes, for you, I will pull the god out and force her to find the girl's soul!"
Boudica and Anya couldn't help trembling at the same time.
The girl who had fallen into a coma until now came to mind.
"Tania!"
"younger sister!"

Chapter 148 Chapter 140 Seven Two Attitudes
In the small room, the setting sun shines through the wooden grille of the window, casting beams of light, and dust is flying in the beams of light.
The silver-haired man sat between the beams of light, with a straight posture and a dignified expression, as if he had been cast down into the world.
The wind whistled past, closing the door heavily.
With a bang, the silence in the room was broken.
Boudica jumped, and when he came back to his senses, all sorts of complexities appeared on his face.
Anya has been looking at the master, trying to see through his expression with superficial experience.
After a long time, she sighed softly, gave up observing, and asked directly: "So, master, are you sure?"
After all, such a thing as threatening the gods is beyond the imagination of a normal person.
"Ah, you should understand me. I won't go back and do things I'm not sure about."
Nios closed his eyes lightly and took a sip of wine: "Now the age of gods is gone, the aura is exhausted, and the gods and fairies are far away from the world.
Not to mention that the great Roman Empire has been offering sacrifices to a group of false gods since its establishment, and a large number of beliefs have been lost in vain
Therefore, the only remaining group of little gods on this island should seize the opportunity I give them. "
"Chance?" Boudica frowned.
"Well, a chance to rebuild your faith."
Neos nodded and put down his wine glass: "And after all, not only the gods need faith, but the country we build also needs faith.
After all, in this era when the common people still believe in the gods, I need the fairies who came to give you a reason for your rule. "
"The power of the king is granted by God, and religion governs the people." Ania muttered to herself.
"Just understand." Neos smiled with satisfaction.
"Then, do everything as you say..."
Boudica hesitated: "It's just..."
"Just what?" Neos asked.
Boudica shrugged his shoulders and smiled helplessly: "It's just that I have done so much, and I don't know how to repay you..."
Aniya raised her eyebrows when she heard this, but said nothing.
Mama is going to...
"Your trust is my best reward." Nios bowed his head with his hands in a sincere tone.
"Really." Boudica looked at him with burning eyes, and then at Ania, with determination in her eyes.
"By the way, master." Anya suddenly said.
"Ok?"
Anya thought for a moment: "You suddenly said this to my mother and me, why?"
"Probably, it is to increase trust between the monarch and his subjects." Neos smiled.
"Is it because of Lucius?" Anya asked directly.
Neos's smile froze for a moment, then his eyes narrowed, his lips twitched slightly, and the familiar fox smile appeared again.
Anya keenly caught the subtle changes in his expression and knew it in her heart.
"Lucius, is that the woman that Neos brought back?"
Boudica was a little puzzled about the interaction between the two, tilting his head to look at the two: "Why did you suddenly get involved with her?"
Neos shook his head: "I confess to you, it has nothing to do with her."
"Really." Anya obviously didn't believe it.
"And I also suggest that you don't have too much entanglement with her, after all, she..."
Neos paused: "After all, she is a Roman, and she will have to go back sooner or later, and we are not the same as her, and there is a high probability that we will never see her again."
Anya wanted to say more.
He stood up, reached out and patted the top of the girl's head, silently asking her to stop talking.
"Okay, it's almost done, you can go back to work, I have something to do now."
After all, without giving the mother and daughter a chance to speak, he has already wiped himself out.
Under the beam of light in the solitary room, dust swirls.
Anya and Boudica stared at each other, both speechless.
