I am God Chapter 386: : The wrath of the sky giant?
The order of the king of Lei Ze Kingdom has reached every city and every village.
The whole kingdom is mobilized.
Whether it is God servants, nobles, or merchants, they all mobilized to contribute money and efforts for this witch sacrifice.
Just.
When they were in Thunder City, they only called for donations of money and goods, and it seemed that they were really just selecting the preliminaries of the witches; everyone cheered and looked forward to the divine grace.
But when you get to the cities, towns, and villages below, it becomes completely different.
The city consuls, township tribunes, village sheriffs, and **** servants who received the order began to use this force to plunder and promulgate various laws and regulations.
All kinds of chaos began to appear, and the entire Lei Ze Kingdom was in chaos.
"No, don't take my daughter away."
"Don't want to pay someone? Then give money."
"I have no money."
"I think you are not pious to the gods, call me."
Many fisher girls from the swamp fishing village were taken away and sent to Thunder City, some even disappeared without a trace.
The disheveled fisherman and his wife could only watch the person being taken away and could do nothing about it.
A ground dragon knight led a group of servants to pick people from house to house. If they wanted to avoid being taken away, they had to pay money.
"Isn't it just one?"
"Why are so many people taken away?"
The civilians who supported and cheered for the gods before found that the situation was completely different from what they expected.
The knight riding the ground dragon snorted and said arrogantly.
"Why, don't witches need people to serve? Don't gods need more servants?"
"It's not enough to just send one to the past, that's a blasphemy to the gods, and the gods will send down punishment."
"Even the temples lack maids. Your daughter is good-looking. Even if she can't be selected as a witch, she might be favored by a **** servant. Then you two will be different."
He was ferocious just now, but now he has become pious and solemn again in the blink of an eye.
"It's all for God 1
"This is your glory."
The ground dragon knight took the people away, raised his whip and went to the next house.
For a while, many snake families were destroyed.
Even a large number of merchants and workshop owners with no background went bankrupt because of this, their assets were taken away and their lives were lost.
This scene is the same as the **** Iva's servant Gamel expected, but there are also differences.
Gamel was talking about those nobles, but in the end, it was the bureaucrats under the king's seat who searched layer after layer to do evil things in the name of God.
As for those territorial nobles, they have to be more restrained.
It's not that they are kind.
It is because the consuls, tribunes, and justices of the peace are appointed by the king, and they will be transferred after their term of office ends.
The territories of the nobles belong to themselves, and even those who live in their territories belong to their own property, most of them naturally have to cherish some.
A large number of witch preliminaries were sent to Thunder City, all of whom were pretty girls in the selection.
In addition, there are some teenagers.
It is also an offering to the gods.
The witch is the apostle of the gods, and the accompanying girls and boys are servants of the witch, and they will be sent to the kingdom of the gods together.
The temple got the authority they wanted, the king found offerings for the gods, and the bureaucrats and nobles below got enough benefits. It seemed like an all-win situation.
Under the temple.
The servants of the gods in blue robes stood in a row, and all the offerings to be offered to the gods were brought forward together.
The servants prayed devoutly and shouted the name of God.
"The servant of the supreme master of life, the great sky giant, the **** of Lei Ze who controls the sky and thunder."
"We listened to your oracle and selected your favorite apostle."
"Please tell us."
"Please give us guidance."
"The true apostle of God, the carrier of the Sky Witch."
In the public, the temple and the king staged a seemingly solemn but funny farce.
They went through layers of screening, and they were about to select a so-called "witch".
The method of selection.
It is to let everyone enter the temple, and through prayers, the clouds in the sky just stop at the center of the window above the head of the "witch".
The cloud is the symbol of the giant **** in the sky. For the people of Lei Ze Kingdom, this is the will of the giant god.
-------------------------------
Outside the Temple of Thunder City, there are crowds of people.
Gamel watched this farce, watched the giant sky **** on the high platform pretending to be a god, and watched the so-called devout believers in the audience fall to the ground and kneel down, raising their hands and shouting.
The young man was filled with righteous indignation and furious.
"How dare they?"
"Aren't they afraid of God's punishment? How dare they do this in God's name?"
Olan, who was about to leave, but stayed behind because of the Witch's Sacrifice, also enjoyed the farce of the Lei Ze Kingdom.
During this farce, he also saw the influence of gods on the human world.
Even if you do nothing.
Even if you don't respond to anything.
There are countless people who will use your name and shout your name to practice their goals and desires.
Just to watch this scene, Oran felt that he should stay.
This allows him to see more clearly the relationship between God and man.
Also prepare for the future.
Olan still raised his head when he heard Gamemel's words.
"You think it's blasphemy, but they don't."
“They feel that they are doing the right thing, and they firmly believe that this is God’s will and God’s revelation.”
"You can't wake up a person who pretends to be asleep, let alone a group of crazy people who are self-hypnotized."
From Gamel's point of view, this is blasphemy, an act of evil in the name of the gods.
But in the eyes of these **** servants and nobles, this is not the case.
They believe that they are devout believers, they are God's shepherds.
Sitting on their own seats, they naturally looked at the gods with their own eyes.
As God's servants, they are shepherds who replace the gods, so they naturally have the right to interpret the oracle. They are the people who manage the world for the gods.
What they said must be the will of the gods.
What they saw must be the guidance of the gods.
They are so convinced that they not only tell others that this is the case, but also constantly hypnotize themselves to tell this to be the case.
As for this, they did some not so honorable things, they did some not so noble things for their own benefit.
How can this be regarded as tarnishing the name of God?
The servants of the gods should naturally enjoy superior treatment; as the shepherds of the gods, they naturally have the right to control those civilians.
Isn't this a matter of course?
As for those fishermen, craftsmen, and farmers, are they human?
In the eyes of these big shots, they are probably not considered human beings, but a kind of goods and resources.
God’s shepherds, what’s wrong with using some resources? How could God punish them for such things?
How can the gods aloft care about such small things and details?
Gamel followed Oran's eyes and looked at the faces of those people on the stage, each of them was as devout as a saint.
Olan turned his head, his eyes seemed to be looking directly at Gamemel's heart.
"Even in your heart and mine."
"Actually, I am used to this kind of evil."
"We are more afraid and afraid that they are doing such evil things with gods."
"Not the fact that they did evil."
"They blasphemed the gods because they did evil, not because they blasphemed the gods."
Gamel froze.
Even he himself suddenly found out.
What made him angry was not the incident itself, but because this incident blasphemed the gods above him.
He sympathized with the poor, but only sympathized.
No empathy.
Only Oran can see the essence of certain things more and more clearly at this moment, which is also an important gain from his journey.
"Is it because we are ignorant?"
"No, but because we are servants of the gods, we are also part of this arrogant person."
Olan looked at Gamemel in front of him, he was the one who woke up his arrogance before, and now he also woke up his heart.
Walking in this world, everyone is each other's teacher.
"When a person can't look at the world beyond his own identity, he can't distinguish between black and white in this world, and he can't see right from wrong."
But Gamemel was in awe.
"Adult 1
"You really are a wise man."
Olan said: "It's just a momentary wisdom, maybe it can't be called wisdom, it can only be called perception."
"Only a true **** can jump out of the eyes of ordinary people and look at the essence of the world beyond the limitations of the times."
"Gods can be transformed into thousands, and every servant is a pair of eyes of God."
Olan said to Gamel: "If one day you really go to the White Tower Alchemy Alliance to study, I hope you can look at the world from all perspectives, so that when you come back, you will be able to truly understand the world." Do what you want to do.”
"Otherwise, you're just another, funny clown on stage."
"A person who implements his desires in the name of ideals, not a person who really changes the country."
The funny clowns mentioned by Oran are those **** servants and kings and nobles on the stage.
Gamel asked Oran: "If the gods saw all this, wouldn't the gods be angry?"
Olan: "It's mortals who are stupid, why should the gods be angry because of stupid and ridiculous mortals."
"This is the sin of mortals themselves, and has nothing to do with the gods."
But when he said this, Oran's eyes changed slightly.
"However."
"This time is different."
"In the past, the sky giant may not have cared, or maybe he never set his sights on the world."
"This time, he may burst into a rage."
Gamel asked, "What's the difference?"
"How do you know that the sky giant will be angry?"
Olan looked into the depths of the Thunder Swamp, but did not answer why.
"This time it's different, the sky giants will definitely watch their actions."
"When they really start this witch sacrifice, it may be the time when the wrath of the gods comes."
Olan raised his head, watching the farce in Thunder City.
Looking at this mortal act of death, watching them cheer and laugh.
If it was in the past, no matter what these mortals did, the gods supporting the giant island of Ruhe would not even look at them.
Let them get confused again in a daze.
Then they used their oracle interpretation power to read and shout to the common people.
The gods have agreed by default.
After that, the believers believed it, even the servants of God and the nobles also believed it.
But now under the eyes of the Creator, what will happen when these ignorant people perform the ugly act of human sacrifice in the name of the sky giant?
Sky giant, the great god, will he not care as much as before?
When Gamel looked at Oran's expression, he suddenly felt a chill.
"What will happen then?"
Olan didn't know either: "How can mortals know about the wrath of the gods?"
Gamel didn't know why, but believed in Oran's words very much.
"It can't be like this, it will bring disaster to the whole kingdom."
Gamel kept looking in the direction of the temple.
Olan seemed to sense Gamemel's intentions, and he wanted to prevent this from happening.
Gamel suddenly looked at Oran, as if he wanted to say something.
But Oran looked at Gamemel and shook his head slightly.
Olan knew that he wanted to ask for his help.
But Oran is the founder of the White Tower Alchemy Alliance, and the apostle of the God of Desire and Alchemy, so in his capacity, he cannot easily intervene in this matter.
Because he is in a sense.
It represents the White Tower Alchemy Alliance, the **** of desire and alchemy.
And this is not the Land of the Rising Sun, let alone his White Tower Alchemy Academy.
Gamel also understood the look in Oran's eyes, and he didn't speak in the end.
Looking at this impulsive young man, Olan seemed to see himself in his youth.
He was once young, and he was reckless.
Although he did not have such a strong sense of justice as Gamemel when he was young, he was more yearning for the mystery and power of alchemy.
In order to practice the esoteric meaning of the tower spirit, he was once turned into a puppet and trapped in the white tower for nearly a hundred years.
And after that.
He lost his brave young heart and became reserved and timid.
------------------------------------
A temple in Thunder City.
The lucky one who was chosen a few days ago, the snake girl who will become the sky witch in people's eyes, was enshrined in the temple, and no one dared to look up at her again.
Not long ago.
She was just a village fisher girl who made her living fishing the Thunder Swamp.
She has never left her hometown, and she doesn't even know the words.
But now, she has become a high-ranking "witch", and everyone regards her as the human representative of the gods.
She changed into a new set of clothes. It was no longer the rough and tattered sleeveless blouse she used to be. It was no longer covered in mud and fishy.
Instead, she was wearing a gorgeous robe, with a white inner shirt produced by the White Tower Alchemy Alliance, and a gemstone necklace that had never been seen before, and her hair, ears, and wrists were all exquisite accessories.
Everyone in the temple respectfully called her—Her Majesty the Witch.
For a while, she seemed to be no longer a mortal.
It is the apostle of the gods.
The chief **** attendant of the temple came before the witch, this big man whom she didn't dare to look up at once, but now she dare not look up and look directly at her.
"Your Majesty the Witch."
"Morning 1
"Excuse me, have you been living comfortably recently?"
"Can you meet something, or other needs."
"You can talk to me, or anyone, and they'll tell me."
The chief servant was respectful, as if he really regarded the other party as a witch.
The chief **** attendant of the temple is exactly what Oran said.
He truly believed that everything was the will of the gods. The sudden changes in the depths of the Thunder Swamp, and the sudden stop of the white clouds in the sky were all God's revelations to the world.
He seems to have to believe again, because without these, he would be admitting that he, the chief **** servant, has never been recognized by the gods, and the entire temple dedicated to the sky giant **** is just a stone shell that mortals deceive themselves .
Even the entire Lei Ze Kingdom has lost its human orthodoxy, indicating that they are a country not recognized by the gods.
No.
He can't accept that.
The king cannot accept it, and neither can everyone in Lei Ze Kingdom.
So, it must all be true.
"Her Majesty the Witch" looked a little embarrassed, and she was not used to people saluting her.
"I'm fine."
"Everything is fine here."
The Chief Divine Servant asked again: "Your Highness, the Witch, it will be the day of the Witch's Sacrifice soon."
He said excitedly with a frenzied face.
"The kingdom of the gods will be opened for you, and you will enter the kingdom of God in the sky."
"This is a major event that the entire Lei Ze Kingdom is looking forward to, and it is also the favor of the gods to the Lei Ze Kingdom."
"Are you ready?"
The snake girl also became serious, and even had a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
She imagined the beautiful scenery deep in the sea of clouds, imagined a big ship passing through the sky, and the gods greeted her in the sky.
She was looking forward to it, but also a little uneasy.
Like a bride-to-be.
"I'm ready."
The Chief Divine Attendant left with satisfaction, everything was ready, and there seemed to be no problem.
The "Her Majesty the Witch" was still learning all kinds of hymns about gods in the temple, learning how to sing the three-stage name of gods with a beautiful aria, and learning how to pray to the gods.
She kept in touch until the evening before she learned those awkward characters and pronunciation.
"Sky Giant."
She looked at the statue in the temple. This is the **** enshrined by the Lei Ze Kingdom for generations. It looked like a figure in a tulle cloak.
Unreal, like clouds and fog.
After she learned those hymns, prayers, and three paragraphs of god's name, she couldn't help but want to try it.
She looked outside, and no one was watching her anymore.
So she knelt down and prayed to the gods.
"The servant of the supreme master of life, the great sky giant, the **** of Lei Ze who controls the sky and thunder."
"Your servant prays to you, asking for your response."
""
She said the name of God and repeated it several times.
But there is no communication with the gods.
The first is because she does not have the power bestowed by the gods, and the second is also because the setting of the name of the **** in the temple is wrong.
They were set by imitating the names of the gods of the earth giants in the Temple of the Ten Thousand Serpent King's Court, not the names that the gods told them.
However, the Chief God Attendant would not say that. They claimed that this was told by the oracle from the gods.
The second paragraph is wrong.
This paragraph should be the great Luhe giant sky behemoth, and when it is really used to communicate with gods, the pronunciation of the sky behemoth should be similar to the pronunciation of the wisdom words of the Sanye people.
It failed though.
But Snake Girl was not too disappointed.
She thinks it's because she hasn't become a witch yet, or because her pronunciation is wrong.
And this time.
A figure suddenly turned in through the window and looked at the snake girl.
The snake girl lying under the statue immediately turned her head to look at the other side and asked.
"Who are you?"
The person who came was Gamemel, who unexpectedly broke into the temple at this time and came to this hidden hall.
He was just an apprentice to the gods, but he managed to get past the strict guards of the temple in this way, relying on superficial magic to pass through several layers of induction magic, and even a layer of enchantment.
Meet this "Her Majesty the Witch".
I have to say, it's really amazing.
Gamel saw the snake girl at a glance and recognized this "Her Majesty the Witch".
He walked towards the other party unhurriedly, for fear of frightening the other party.
"Don't be afraid."
"I'm not your enemy, I'm here to save you."
"I can take you away and take you home."
However, Snake looked at him suspiciously, looking into his eyes.
From Gamemel's eyes, she did see that the other party was not malicious.
But she replied: "I don't want to go home, please go back."
Gamel asked her, "Don't you miss your home, your family?"
"They snatched you here, and now your family doesn't know how much you miss you. What is more important in this world than reunion with your family?"
Snake looked at Gamemel and told him.
"I was not robbed, I was sold to the temple by my father."
The snake girl seemed to recall a scene.
A picture of her cruel father dragging her with a rope and selling her as a commodity.
Humiliation, sadness, heartbreak.
Unwilling to recall until the end.
Father has his reasons. There are so many children in the family that cannot be supported. It just so happens that the temple is willing to pay for a good-looking girl. That is enough money for their family to live for several years, at least to spend the immediate future difficulties.
It's just that the truth can be understood, but the heart is still unwilling to face and accept this kind of thing.
She can understand her father, but she cannot forgive him.
The moment she was sold, she no longer had a home, and she now belonged only to the temple.
"It looks like you didn't know me before you came here, and you don't know me."
Gamel was dumbfounded, he really didn't know about such a thing before he came.
The snake girl's voice was very calm, but it was obvious that she didn't want to mention this matter.
"I don't want to go back because no one cares about me."
"But here, there are many people who care about me."
Gamel said: "They don't care about you, they just care about whether the witch's sacrifice can be successful."
"And."
"Do you know the price of the Witch's Sacrifice?"
"For them, this is just a sacrificial ceremony, but for you it is a road of no return."
The snake girl nodded, as if someone had said something to her before.
"I know."
"I will enter the kingdom of God, and maybe I will never be able to leave there in the future."
There is a clear difference between the path of no return spoken by Snake Girl and the path of no return mentioned by Gamemel.
The snake girl prostrated herself under the statue, her expression neither sad nor joyful.
"I love it there."
"When I was a child, every time I was fishing in the swamp, I liked to look at the huge cloud mountain in the depths of the swamp. I used to be floated in the sky by the sky god's cloud in a boat."
"I like the white clouds and everything in the depths of the swamp."
"I have always heard that there is a lost kingdom in the depths of the clouds. I have always wanted to visit it. It must be the most beautiful place in the world."
Gamel laughed angrily, he didn't expect the temple's rhetoric to be like this.
In his view, this is even an excuse after failure.
We already have the witch, as to why we didn't see the witch, because the witch was left in his kingdom by the gods.
No one can confirm, because no one can enter the kingdom of God alive.
Perfect closed loop.
Gammel whispered to her emotionally: "No, it's all just a lie."
"The sky giant has never sent any oracle, and the oracle has never been like this."
"You will not become a witch if you are sent into the depths of the swamp, you will just disappear there and die quietly."
"You will be a victim, it's not worth it."
The snake girl didn't believe what Gamel said: "No, God chose me, that's what they all said."
The Snake turned her face to the statue, and no longer looked at Gamel.
"You should not be from here, I am very grateful that you can worry about me."
"Leave quickly, I'll pretend I've never seen you before, if someone finds out, you'll die."
The snake girl has changed a lot, but she still maintains the simplicity and kindness of the fisher girl in her heart.
Just don't know.
How long can this kindness and simplicity be maintained if it is soaked in the filth of intrigue and deception.
Looking at the snake girl, Gamemel thought of Oran's words again,
You can't wake a person who is pretending to be asleep.
Gamel was a little anxious: "No, this is not just about you and me, it is about the fate of the entire Thunder Kingdom."
"Have you ever thought about it, if this matter was a self-deceiving lie and a farce from the beginning, then when the sacrifice really starts, we will probably anger the gods."
Gamel doesn't know the real reason for Oran's words that the gods will be angry, so I can only guess with my own imagination.
But no matter what, Gamel couldn't just sit back and watch what Oran said happen.
But the snake girl couldn't understand what Gamemel said, she just thought that Gamemel was really crazy.
At this time, someone outside also heard the movement inside.
"Your Majesty the Witch."
"What's wrong, who are you talking to?"
A person rushed in and immediately spotted Gamemel's figure.
"Who are you."
Immediately afterwards, the other party realized that Gamemel was not a member of the temple.
"Come here, someone broke into the temple."
"Come here 1
"Catch him 1
Gamel fled in a panic and rushed out of the window again.
But at this moment, a large number of temple guards and powerful people rushed over.
Gamel rushed into a garden, hiding in hiding, and was about to be discovered by the consciousness of several powerful people.
It was about to be caught, but it suddenly disappeared from the garden.
Several snake-human powers rushed over and met together. They clearly sensed movement here, but they found nothing in the end.
"Disappeared?"
"What happened?"
"What about people?"
Gamel appeared outside the temple, still in shock.
And a familiar figure stood beside him, looking at him quietly.
He saw Oran again, the mysterious and powerful alchemist.
As soon as Oran opened his mouth, he asked, "Failed?"
Gamel knew that Oran knew what he wanted to do from the very beginning, and even his every move was always under the attention of the other party.
"My lord, it is you who are helping me."
After thanking Oran, Gamel showed a wry smile.
"Yes, even with your help I still failed."
"I can't stop the start of the Witch's Sacrifice, I can't stop this stupid, blasphemous ritual."
"Perhaps only a tragic disaster can truly wake up the people of the Lei Ze Kingdom."
"In order to allow those who do evil in the name of God to suffer their own punishment."
Although Gamemel said that, there was still panic in his voice.
After all, that is the wrath of the gods!
Who knows how far it will spread.
Olan is much more stable than Gamel: "Don't worry."
"God will only punish the truly sinful."
"Even if the sky giant is furious, there will be a greater and more benevolent existence to appease him."
Olan told him the oracle, the will of the Creator through God Iva, and he was able to vaguely perceive the outline and figure of that great existence.
But Gamemel looked blank, he didn't know who the greater being Oran was talking about was.
In a hurry, he could only think of the master of life.
However, the master of life has long since left the world, so how could he still pay attention to this remote corner of the Lei Ze Kingdom?
