I am God Chapter 245: : Fairy Tale
The City of Lights.
A group of children stood under the temple. The children wore rough cloth clothes with symbols representing a certain alchemist.
They looked up at the gorgeous buildings that were completely different from those decades ago, and made longing voices.
"Wow!" The children's voices were in unison.
Because, it is so big and beautiful.
"When I grow up, I will definitely become a servant of God Iva and a great alchemist, and I will also be able to enter here." The children are selected from various villages and towns outside to the City of Lights to enter the alchemy workshop to study It was also the first time for an apprentice to see this temple of miracles.
"Just like Master Xinji." Each child is full of ambition and expectations, but most of them cannot become alchemists and servants of God Iva, they can only be in the alchemy workshop. Be a helper and grow up to be a skilled craftsman.
"I'm different. I'm going to take risks in other places in the world in the future, and I'm going to find the place where fairies exist." Some children have different wishes.
"Fairies don't live in the human world, they live in the kingdom of the gods." A child retorted immediately.
"I heard from the Suinhall people who came here a few days ago. They said that there is a goblin in the Sunrise Mountains. It is a holy spirit with magical power, and its name is Meryl." People in this era always perceive the world from other people, and most of them have never left their hometowns in their entire lives.
And the stories brought by caravans and wandering musicians traveling north and south will always spread quickly.
Because that is the only way for them to get information about the outside world.
The temple is completely different from when it was first established. Although it is still a domed building, it is covered with gold flakes, shining golden light in the sun.
The outer wall of the temple has exquisite patterns, most of which are patterns of cups of desire, cups of the sun, boats and alchemy creations.
It is closely related to the origin and power of the **** Iva.
A large number of buildings with other functions have been built on both sides of the temple in the past few decades, some of which are used to store items offered to the gods, and some are places where priests live.
However, these priests can only pray in the lobby outside the main temple on weekdays.
The only person who can really meet God Iva is Xinji.
People only know that there is a garden deep in the temple, and there is a tall and sacred white tree in the garden.
It is said.
God Ivar is up there.
The road in front of the temple is paved with white stones with patterns, and tall and lush trees are planted on both sides of the road. The group of children walked around this sacred road. When they saw that the sun was about to set , They hurried back along the road.
"Not good."
"Master Alchemist said that he must go back before dark, and he will be punished if he goes back late."
"Run!"
The children trotted, and the main road of the city of lights gradually appeared in front of them.
You can see it.
The whole city of lights is completely different from what it used to be. The city is full of rich technology and artistic atmosphere.
Whether it is the stone slabs on the ground, or various buildings, wooden houses, lighthouses, and workshops, they all get rid of the primitive and wild atmosphere.
As for the passers-by walking on the road, many of them were wearing common clothes or even gorgeous dresses.
This also shows the wealth of the city, and it also reflects that they have etiquette.
Most of the people living in the city today are artisans, craftsmen, and merchants who came from the Plain of Animals and Suinhall.
And all this changes.
They all come from the servant of God Iva, the alchemist and alchemist of the city of lights.
In recent years, some people have become priests of the Iva God one after another, and they have become members of the guardian temple and the worship of the gods.
Some people turn the anger in their hearts into flames, which can easily melt all kinds of metals.
Some people turn the jealousy in their hearts into flames, which can burn up all kinds of impurities.
Turn the love in people's hearts into flames, and the flames can melt many kinds of metals together.
There are also all kinds of unexpected desires and emotional powers, and all kinds of strange lights can be obtained.
The desires and emotions of the alchemists are combined with the real creations, and by offering all of themselves to the gods, they can obtain the lamps of their divine deeds. Alchemy props.
And in the last ten years.
There are also alchemists who accidentally discovered that if the power of emotion is extracted from the body, by consuming part of their own power, they can create an alchemy tool that is completely different from the lamp of the deed, a kind of alchemy tool that other powerful people and even ordinary people can use general alchemy props.
Some can release lightning, some can summon wind, and some can confuse people.
Each piece of this kind of alchemy item is extremely precious, and the alchemist will not easily consume his own strength to refine it, and after refining it, it is mostly used as his trump card.
In the city of lights.
The power of an alchemist is from the first-level to the third-level authority, and they are called servant alchemists, lower-level alchemists, and upper-level alchemists.
The lamp of the divine contract of the servant alchemist is only integrated into the alchemist's desire, and its effect can only interfere with himself.
The Lamp of the Deed of the Alchemist of the lower ranks is integrated with the spirit of the alchemist and can interfere with reality. Only at this point can they be regarded as real alchemists; Various metal products, medicines, and even other alchemy props were produced.
However, the alchemist's props are called alchemy props by themselves, but in the inscription on the cup of God, they are still classified as miracle props, divine props, and life props in the category of divine props.
The lamp of the divine contract of a high-ranking alchemist is integrated into the consciousness of the alchemist, and can condense the spirit of the lamp.
The only one who has reached this level so far is Xinji.
The power used by alchemists is different from the power of miracles. The power of miracles is called the power of miracles because it is completely beyond the comprehension of mortals. This kind of power can almost create what you want everything.
The power of an alchemist can only create magical props.
Then use the power of alchemy props to obtain what you want through the knowledge and technology you have mastered.
In the past few decades, alchemists have been divided into two schools.
One of them is the mainstream alchemists who specialize in creating various metal creations. They use lights to smelt various metals to create strong and exquisite gold and silverware.
However, there are very few alchemists at present, and the goldware they smelt can only be supplied to merchants in the city and from afar with Suinhor for trade.
The second type is the alchemist who also refines the medicine powder for healing wounds and diseases. Xinji is the most powerful alchemist in this field.
The rudiments of alchemy, medicine and other technologies are gradually taking shape in this city, and then beautiful flowers will be bred in the future.
In the elders' meeting hall in the city of lights.
Delicate and ornate golden lamps were lit, illuminating the hall.
The four sides of the hall depict the legendary sea of sun flowers, the dome depicts the clouds and the sea of stars, and a blond goddess like the goddess of wind floats through the clouds.
Under the sea of stars, a man in a silver smock rowed a boat, closely following in the footsteps of the goddess.
The members of the group of elders sat in a circle around them, and the leader was Great Elder Xinji.
Decades have passed, not only did Great Elder Xinji not grow old, he even looked younger.
However, this is also because Xinji looked old just because of his primitive and simple life. Now that he has gained power and the golden lamp, it is naturally different.
"Today."
"King Smerkel from the city-state of Suinhall sent us a letter, hoping to conduct direct trade with us, and even invited our alchemist to go to the city of fire protection."
"What do you all think?"
Sinji asked everyone for their opinions, and the elders discussed it a lot.
"I agree, the city-state of Suinhall has a large population and a vast land. If our things can be sold there, we will definitely get a lot of wealth." Someone agreed, and the alchemy workshop under his name passed Lights and unique methods of smelting and refining metals, and then engraving exquisite gold and silverware made by craftsmen, if they can be sold to Suinhor, it must be a big profit.
"I disagree. Suyinhall has sold cloth, clothes, oil, and food to us these years. Those Suyinhall businessmen are greedy and vulgar, and have robbed us of a lot of wealth." Someone immediately expressed objection, As a conservative I dislike these outsiders very much.
"King Smerkel once met God Iva, and I think he is trustworthy." Someone thought of the poem of divine blessing and was full of affection for King Smerkel.
People in the hall were arguing endlessly, and finally the Great Elder Singh proposed.
"Send someone to take a look first, and talk about it after meeting Queen Smerkel."
Everyone voted and finally decided.
There is no city lord in the city of lights, and the big and small things are dealt with by the elders on weekdays, but all important decisions must be made by the elders.
The members of the elder group are mostly priests of the temple, alchemists who have inherited the power of Ivar.
After finishing the discussion of the elders, Xinji came to the temple.
He walked down the hall, down the corridor.
Deep into a garden full of cups of desire.
In the center of the garden, there is a snow-white tree more than ten meters high, which is also the sacred tree in the city of lights. God Iva sits on the tree and looks out of the temple.
He is hidden among the leaves, and it is difficult to see him directly from below.
But Xinji knew that the **** was on the sacred tree, so he went directly to the tree and prostrated himself on the ground.
Singi talked about what was discussed in the elders' chamber today, and also mentioned the letter from King Smerkel.
Although he didn't directly ask the gods for their opinions, he just narrated.
But it's obvious.
He just came here to ask the gods to send down an oracle and tell him what to do.
On the white tree, Iva stared at Xinji.
"Why are you asking me?"
Sinji told the gods: "Because King Smerkel is your favored person."
Iva said: "The people I care about, that's my business."
"I like him, I can give him what I want directly."
"How can your country, your destiny, be changed just because I like it?"
But Xinji didn't think so: "But you gave us everything."
Yiva said: "I give everything to you, so you are my servant."
"But this city was created by countless people. Their efforts and wisdom are not given by me."
"I can't and don't want to sacrifice their efforts just because I like someone."
"I gave you a rich life, and you offer your prayers to the great dream master. This is a fair deal."
"I don't need you to do anything else."
Sinji regards Ivar as a god, and Ivar only treats all this as a transaction.
He has no true self-realization as a god.
He understands what belief is, but he doesn't understand why belief makes people crazy.
Whenever he sat on the tree and watched thousands of people worshiping him, he shouted frantically.
Always look surprised.
He didn't understand where the madness came from, what he had done to make their emotions vibrate so violently.
And Xinji, who was crawling under the tree, also felt that the gods only needed them to complete a certain task.
Xingji also vaguely understood that God Iva may not have stayed in the human world for a long time.
When that task is completed, the **** who descended from the world will eventually leave this land that does not belong to him.
He always sat on a tree looking at the sunrise mountains, looking at the sky.
Perhaps he was missing the sea of stars, and the days when he was in the kingdom of gods to lead the dreams of the dead.
Sinji finally couldn't bear it and said.
"God!"
"You have given us so much, and we have done nothing for you."
Iva shook his head: "Didn't you all do it?"
Sinji said: "Those are just some trivial things, my master, O God Iva who rules desires!"
"What else can we do for you?"
Iva thought for a while, and suddenly thought of something.
He recalled the night of the bonfire in the forest, when Smerkel, who was still a prince, played the harp and sang poems praising King Alpens.
As for Iva himself, he told a story about himself.
A story between two brothers, Henir and Welsh.
He smiled and said, "Then write a book for me!"
It was the first time Xinji heard the term book, and paper had not yet appeared in this world.
Most of the snake people record their texts on clay tablets and wooden boards.
A small number of people use special leather scrolls and cloth scrolls as carriers for writing, but that is expensive.
"Book?"
"What is a book?"
Iva said: "It is something that records words."
Xinji thought that God Iva needed a poem praising him, so he quickly agreed.
"God."
"I will definitely invite the best poets and musicians in the world and let them compose the most beautiful music and the most gorgeous chapters."
Iva shook his head: "No, no, no poet, no musician."
Sinji is a little confused, how can he write poetry?
Iva told Xinji: "Because, what I want is not poetry, but a story."
"And me."
"This is the storyteller."
Xingji's heart was agitated.
Yes, what is more beautiful in this world than the chapters narrated by the gods themselves?
What is more sacred and great than the story of the gods?
Xinji saluted respectfully: "It is the greatest honor to be your servant to hear the stories of the gods and record the holy words of the gods."
Ivar said: "The name of this story is called."
"Fairy Tale of a Fairy."
Xingi immediately understood that this was a story about a goblin, a holy spirit, and it must be related to the great master of dreams.
Iva first told the story of the fairy Polo.
"The goblin yearns for the outside world. Although he lives in the garden of the gods and is favored by the gods, he still yearns for the free sky outside."
“One day, he spoke to God.”
"God, let me taste the most beautiful food and smell the most beautiful flowers instead of you."
"Feel the wind on the high mountains, feel the waves in the sea, and listen to the journeys and interesting stories of strangers from afar."
"I will turn into your eyes and messenger, and bring back the wind and news from afar."
God broke the elf's little mind with one word: "You just want to run out and play!"
But in the end, the **** let go and let the goblin go.
The fairies in the story are not named, and the Sanye people are just replaced by mortals.
Xingi quickly recorded the stories told by the gods on clay tablets with a wooden knife, and one clay tablet after another was placed aside, filling the ground in the blink of an eye.
Immediately afterwards, Ivar began to tell the second story.
That is the story in the divine blessing, but from a different angle, telling the story of how she blessed all mortals from the perspective of the goblin.
It also depicts the redemption of the saints and the birth of the fantasy star sea.
The third story is about fairies and prayers, this time the story is much lighter.
The story is full of innocence.
"The fairy left the kingdom of gods in a hot air balloon, and she sought the best wish in the world."
""
The story has been told from night to dawn.
The last story is about the fairy Simila and her performing troupe.
When the story was finished, Xinji finally understood what kind of existence a goblin is.
The names of the Creator's darling, the holy spirit, and the most beautiful spirit of God's creation became real in an instant.
Xinji raised his head, looking at the lush leaves and the looming sacred shadow high above.
My mind flew to the distant kingdom of God.
"If one day, I can also reach the garden of the Creator."
"I must talk to these beautiful holy spirits."
After speaking, Xinji felt ridiculous again.
He is just a humble mortal, how can he reach the Sunflower Sea of the Creator.
After Iva finished telling the story of the goblin, the sky began to turn white.
He looked down and saw the large number of clay tablets, and suddenly shook his head.
"The method of recording words on clay tablets is really inconvenient."
But Xinji said: "But God, this is the easiest and easiest way to get it now."
Iva told Xinji: "Just right."
"In exchange for helping me deliver these stories, I'm giving you something."
Ivar stepped down from the tall white tree.
The sun rises slowly in the sky, and the white trees are symbols of holiness and purity.
The great **** touched the servant Xinji's forehead, giving him guidance and gifts.
Some of the information was delivered directly into the depths of Singhi's rituals through the power of the Empowerment.
Xingi immediately knew what God Iva bestowed upon him, and also knew what the true meaning of the book was.
"Papermaking."
The method of how to make paper appeared in Xinji's mind, which is a process step that ordinary people can easily operate, and it appeared in front of Xinji one after another.
Finally.
He looked at the sheets of white paper glued together and turned into a book.
Sinji just woke up.
Singi was pleasantly surprised by the gift of the gods, and also understood what the appearance of this kind of thing represented.
Such a convenient carrier and thing for recording text was something he had never thought of before.
This is the creation of the gods.
It is God's guidance to mortals, and God Iva's favor to them.
However, to Iva, this kind of thing is not unusual at all, and there are many such creations in the kingdom of fairies.
Iva just made another deal with his believers. He gave the papermaking technology that he thought was not too precious to Xin Ji and the City of Lights, and then asked them to write a book for him to spread the story of the goblin. above this world.
But for mortals, this is a miracle that changes the fate of all people, as well as the future of their race.
The moment Xinji woke up, his eyes searched for the figure of the god.
But the gods are gone.
But the voice of the **** resounded in Xinji's ears: "By the way, don't write my name."
"This is the story of the goblin."
"I'm just a narrator of it."
He could only prostrate on the ground and express his respect and gratitude to the gods in his own way.
"The merciful God Iva!"
"We will always remember your greatness, your gifts, and the future you gave us."
---------------
In an alchemy workshop in the City of Lights, Xin Ji and several alchemists stayed up all night, guiding the craftsmen in their operations, and even went into battle in person.
"Hurry up."
"Are you ready?"
"Take it out and take it out."
In the yard, everyone is eager to see through.
The first piece of paper appeared in the wooden frame, and the craftsman lifted it up carefully, showing it in front of Xinji.
Although it is a bit rough, it is undoubtedly the first piece of paper in the world.
Everyone burst into cheers, and the entire alchemy workshop was full of cheers, and everyone shouted and hugged excitedly.
Even the Great Elder Xinji couldn't hide his inner joy.
"Paper."
"This is what God called paper."
Xin Guitar carefully laid out the paper and wrote the words of the snake man on it.
Whether it is writing or collecting, it is simple and light beyond imagination.
Moreover, the manufacturing method of paper is not complicated, and the materials are easy to obtain.
No need at all. As usual, every time I write a word, I feel like money is burning.
Written on the paper: "City of Lights."
Holding these words high, Xinji told everyone.
"We are all the lamps of the gods."
"It is God who ignites us and guides our direction."
"We want to pass on the myth, the story of us and God through this paper forever."
Pieces of paper were produced from the alchemy workshop and fell into the city of lights.
Eventually they will spread throughout the world.
Xingi's room is full of clay tablets, and he transcribed them bit by bit with a tube pen corresponding to the words on the clay tablets.
He glued each piece of paper carefully, and then sealed a leather shell on the outside.
Finally.
Singi stamped the name of the story given by the **** on the cover of the leather case.
"Fairy Tale of a Fairy."
This is the world's first story on paper, which is different from the long stories of poetry.
It is also the first fairy tale.
Moreover, all the fairy tales in the story are true, they have really happened.
It is a fairy tale, a myth, and a history.
The appearance of papermaking also began to change the era slowly and fundamentally.
It makes the transfer of technology and knowledge no longer difficult, and it makes civilization no longer a memory passed down by word of mouth, nor the vicissitudes engraved on stone tablets.
It is a text that most people can read and understand.
