I am God Chapter 235: : A wise demigod walking in the world
The ferryman Iva is very confused. He walks on the earth and observes the world and the snake man on the earth.
Beast herding tribes, fishing and hunting islanders, and people from city-states are all the objects of his observation.
He has never been in contact with living people outside the kingdom of God. He is eager to feel the power of emotions and desires, but he is extremely uncomfortable with the gaze of others.
It's as if human beings yearn for the light of fire, but the moment they stretch out their hands, they are afraid of the scorching heat of fire.
He walked alone on the earth.
He pushed aside the leaves in the jungle, stood on the hill and looked into the distance.
For a while.
He suddenly didn't know what to do.
Iva asked himself: "How can I complete my mission."
Iva wants to blend into the crowd to experience what he wants to experience, but deep down he is afraid of meeting other people. He feels that those things are incompatible with him. He is used to wandering through the sea of stars with a boat alone. and the dream world.
He doesn't quite understand how to fulfill the mission of the gods, so he can only walk along the way to see.
Iva saw people coming out of the hill from a distance. Two snake men, a man and a woman, held hands and twisted their tails, laughing all the way to the hillside.
This should be a couple, they were talking and laughing all the way, and the woman held a basket woven with vines in her hand. This is also a common utensil in snake-man villages and ethnic groups. .
Even if it is far away, Iva can still feel the happiness of the other party.
Iva walked down from the hill, and he suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.
Although Ivar's appearance and shape are somewhat incompatible with the snake man, he appeared very suddenly.
But the young men and women were bold and watched him without fear.
Because they felt that Ivar didn't have any malicious intentions.
They looked at Iva, who was wearing a dark silver burqa, and wondered if he was a nobleman from somewhere. His lower body was covered by a short tree, and they didn't see that Iva had no tail.
The young man asked him: "Who are you?"
Ivar didn't answer, but asked them: "Why are you so happy?"
The woman felt that Iva asked inexplicably: "Because we are together."
Iva asked him: "Are you happy together?"
The woman replied: "Of course."
Iva lowered his head and stared at the woman's pupils with his eyes: "I read your hearts, but why don't I feel happy?"
"Why?"
When Yiva was ferrying across the sea of stars, he always wondered if he would be able to read other people's emotions and happiness if he could meet a living person one day.
He thought that he had the ability to read minds, and as long as he could enter the world of mortals, he would be able to feel everyone's emotions, joy, sorrow, and other emotions one after another.
But it's obvious.
That was just his imagination.
People's joys and sorrows are not the same. He can't get the happiness he wants from reading other people's hearts, and he doesn't understand why two people are happy when they are together.
"Why?"
"Do you still need to ask this kind of question?"
The two male and female snake men looked at Iva as if they were looking at a fool or a lunatic.
Iva didn't get the answer he wanted, so he turned and left.
The man said in a low voice, pointing to his head: "He won't have a problem here!"
The woman looked at Iva's back, and was surprised to find that Iva had no tail.
"He doesn't have a tail, he might be a lunatic who got his tail cut off."
When she said this, her voice became quieter, and she said the rumors she had heard: "I heard that some **** servants in the temple committed serious crimes, and they would have their tails chopped off. Would he Are you a sinner driven out of which temple?"
They quietly guessed about Iva's origin, but they couldn't imagine that this was not a snake man at all, but a demigod who descended from the kingdom of gods.
Iva was a little lost, and he walked along the road to the distance.
Iva saw another village. Outside the village was a large area of reclaimed farmland, planted with carefully cultivated Curcuma.
The neat and smooth fields give people a feeling full of hope.
A group of snake-man children slid along the edge of the field, and they chased to a small river.
The banks of the river are full of trees, and vines are hanging from a big thick tree. These children grab the vines with their hands and swing them from one side of the river to the other.
Small actions are full of courage, adventure and excitement for children.
Also has the innocence and joy of childhood.
However, when one child after another crossed the river by swinging, it was the last child's turn.
The child looked at the river under his feet in fear, and did not dare to embark on an adventurous journey.
Other children stood on the other side looking at him and shouting at him.
"Come here!"
"It's all right, very easy."
"Grab it, and it will come as soon as you close your eyes."
However, the last child waiting to cross the river couldn't move his feet, and the children on the other side of the river gradually got tired of waiting and taunted him one after another.
"Coward."
"Let's not wait for him."
Then turned and left one by one.
The child can only stand on the other side of the river and watch his companions leave and embark on a new journey and adventure, while he can only stop and wander in place.
At this time, a figure appeared behind the child, silently watching the child's mood change from joy to disappointment.
Iva suddenly remembered what Yin Sai said to him before: "Plant a wish in the hearts of mortals."
He also remembered what the ancient goblins did. They came to the world in balloons and fulfilled the wishes in their hearts for one child after another.
They are the darlings of God Insai and synonymous with all the good things in the world.
The child felt the movement behind him, and turned his head to look at Iva.
"Who are you?"
Ivar stepped forward and asked him.
"Do you know fairies that grant wishes?"
The child looked bewildered and shook his head.
A hand protruded from under Iva's smock, it was a hand formed by entangled tiny vines, it was weird and magical.
At the fingertips where the vines gathered, a beautiful cup of the sun slowly grew out of it.
The rhizomes twirled under magical power, and the golden flower cup slowly unfolded.
The sea of sun flowers is the most beautiful place Iva has ever seen in his life, and the goblin is born from the sea of sun flowers. At this moment, Iva uses this method to tell the child the beauty he knows.
"This is a flower, and its name is the Cup of the Sun."
"The fairy is a life as beautiful as this flower."
"It can"
"Ah!" The child screamed.
The child didn't even finish listening, and was frightened by Eva's strange arms and the faint torso under the robe, turned around and ran away.
"Monster!"
Iva held flowers in his hands, bent over and maintained a posture of wanting to give them to the child.
However, the child did not turn his head back.
Seeing the child being scared away by him, Iva was even more puzzled.
He didn't understand why he was running away, why he was afraid of himself.
This is how goblins fulfill the wishes of mortals, and then they are praised and yearned by countless people!
The kids like it very much.
He could only hold the golden flower in his hand, and silently told the flower that he hadn't finished talking.
"The power of the goblin can realize your wishes. When you make a wish on this flower, it will allow you to cross the mountains and seas and pursue what you want."
After speaking.
He put away the cup of the sun with regret, turned around and left to embark on the journey again.
Not long after he left, a large group of adult snake men came out from the village, shouting and shouting with weapons.
"Where is it?"
"Which man-eating monster?"
"Where did you go?"
The grown-ups were on standby, looking around for the monster, but they couldn't find it in the end.
Iva failed to leave a beautiful and moving legend, but instead left a terrifying rumor that makes every child terrified.
Until thousands of years later, there is still such a story circulating in the local area.
There is a tall monster wearing silver clothes above the wilderness. He has a human head, but his body is made of trees.
He hides in the forest, looking for those children who are alone, and then eats them.
He will create a strange golden plant to give to children. After you accept his gift, you can no longer escape the control of the monster.
-------------------
The other side.
Flame Guard City.
Alpens, the king of the city-state, returned from the outside driving the chariot pulled by the ground dragon, and the soldiers followed on both sides.
His chariot stopped in front of the city gate and watched the city gate slowly open.
Alpens admired the city he had rebuilt, and watched the door slowly open in his sight, revealing the bustling city and streets.
But at this moment.
He turned his head suddenly, his gaze followed the river outside the city all the way away.
One city after another emerged on the map in his mind, which was his entire city-state.
Nowadays.
His Suinhor city-state has a population of more than one million and more than twenty cities.
They lived by planting, and they raised beasts at the same time. They learned to burn paper pottery and smelt bronze.
They have their own handed down poems and texts, as well as their own legal codes and city-state systems.
In the eyes of the world, Alpens is a powerful commander, a wise man with wisdom and strategy.
He knows many secrets that do not belong to the world, and he can communicate with great gods.
He has accomplished incredible miracles one after another through his own strength. He is the first king and will be the greatest king.
Alpens drove the chariot into the street, the people on both sides cheered loudly, and all of them prostrated themselves on the ground.
Driving the chariot to the middle of the street, Alpens stopped.
There are people on the street singing their own poems, praising Alpens, the great king of gods.
This is a tribute to Alpens, a program that has been prepared for a long time.
"King Alpens."
The beginning is a passionate chant, accompanied by a long melody.
The poet put his hands on his chest, and his expression became richer.
"He came to the kingdom of blood at the bottom of the deep sea. He is the king of the gods and knows all the secrets of the world."
"He knows the height of the mountain where life originated, and he knows the mystery of the temple of the mother of life."
"He obtained the body of a hero before the gods, and he established Suinhor with spears and bows and arrows."
"He"
Snake people have always been good at singing and dancing. Their pursuit of rhythm and dance is much higher than Zeng Jin's Sanye people. Their poems must not only be read, but also be able to sing.
The melody is their tribute to the gods, the melody is their eulogy to heroes, and the melody is also their cognition and inheritance of the world.
Alpens said with satisfaction after listening to the singer's poem.
"Very good."
"Carve this poem down and put it in front of my palace."
The chanter bowed in salute, and Alpens passed by driving the terrain dragon chariot.
The sound of thunder broke out in the street again.
Alpens has reached the pinnacle of his life, and he has gained glory and glory as he expected and imagined when he was young, and he will be remembered by future generations.
As long as the snake race exists, he will not be forgotten.
Alpens returned to the palace, and several servants came up and reported the current situation of the city-state.
The prime minister of the palace was very familiar with Alpens, so he asked him directly.
"King Alpens."
"How?"
Alpens left the Fireguard City this time to go to several cities in the west to check the situation. After so many years of rest, the city-state of Suinhall is indeed different from before, but the herding tribes in the northwest are also getting stronger. stronger and stronger.
What Alpens did not expect the most was that after he invented the sharp weapon of bow and arrow, this weapon immediately rose up among the animal herding tribes.
Using this weapon they killed each other, and they hunted wild beasts with bows and arrows.
They gradually forgot the pain of the past, and only knew the prosperity of the city-state of Suinhor.
Even though King Alpens of the city-state of Suinhor is very powerful, as looters, they only want to loot and run away, and they don't want to fight Alpens head-on.
Especially recently.
A large number of herding tribes are ready to move, and a big invasion is imminent.
Alpens went to inspect this time, and even fought a battle with a group of vanguards of the invaders, and won without any surprise.
But Alpens also knew that a bigger conflict was just around the corner.
Alpens told the prime minister about the situation he found out: "The tribes in the northwest are about to move again, and it is estimated that they will fight again soon."
"Nothing happened in the city-state, right?"
The prime minister said: "There are rumors in Seins City and several other cities in the southeast that you are old, and it may be spread by someone with a heart. I have already sent someone to check the situation."
Alpens didn't care at all: "A bunch of jumping clowns."
But if you look closely, you will find that Alpens is completely different from when he was in his prime.
His chin is covered with thick beards, which are tangled together in an indescribably majestic and mighty way.
But his hair has been covered with strands of silver, and there are wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
It can be seen that he is getting old inevitably. Although he still has the power brought by the divine blood of life, the divine blood never really belonged to him. He can feel the erosion of his real body over the years Kill a little bit of decadence.
The so-called gods, the so-called divine power.
It's all borrowed strength.
Without these, he is just an ordinary mortal.
The prime minister nodded and stopped bothering Alpens.
"The king is probably tired too, I'm leaving first, and the king should rest early!"
Alpens put away his skirt armor and entered the bedroom.
He first read the books made of ivory animal skin for a while, and then the sky gradually darkened. The servants came out and lit the copper lamp made of oil.
As the night fell silent, Alpens also stretched himself.
He stood up, thinking again of the poem sung by the poet just today, and remembering how everyone looked at him in admiration and cheering.
He even couldn't help singing along with the tune.
"King Alpens"
Smiling and smug, he basks in his splendor and glory.
Finally.
I fell asleep a little bit.
However, as soon as he fell asleep, Alpens felt that his consciousness was being summoned to leave the earth and fall towards an unknown place.
There is darkness there, but you can feel the darkness fluctuating.
There are regular voices in the darkness.
This is the deep sea.
At the beginning, Alpens was still immersed in a trance, but when a lighthouse emitting red light appeared in the distance, his consciousness suddenly became extremely clear.
He understood that this was not a dream, and he also knew where it was.
Although it has been more than 80 years since I have been here, Alpens has such a deep memory of this place.
He floated down from the darkness and finally landed in front of the lighthouse.
He raised his head and looked at the ancient and mysterious city under the sea, and at the temple.
"The kingdom of blood in the deep sea."
"Unexpectedly, I came back here again."
He walked forward skillfully, he remembered everything here, the architectural style, those mysterious characters, and those strange and incomprehensible creations.
His chariot was built by imitating one of the strange items, and now the chariot has become an indispensable thing in city-state wars, and it is also a symbol of Alpens and Suinhor city-states.
Unknowingly, he walked into the temple of truth.
The **** on the throne of flesh and blood was still sitting on it. She stepped barefoot on the flesh and blood blanket, holding a blood-red egg-shaped object in her arms.
Even if she sat still and didn't speak, Alpens felt the pressure that she couldn't lift her head.
The strength and blood in Alpens involuntarily expressed awe and submission in front of the king of the race.
"The great ancestor of blood, the scarlet witch, the king of the oldest race."
"Your favored one accepts your call."
Alpens recited the name of the first ancestor of blood, expressing his piety and awe.
He has indeed done a lot for his **** these years.
Temples have been established in various cities of the city-state of Suinhor. In the temples, not only the mother of life, the main god, is enshrined, but also the statue of the first ancestor of blood. worship and belief.
The First Ancestor of Blood and the King of the Ancients stared at Alpens. In her sight, Alpens' physical body was already old and out of shape. function.
If it was the former Vivien, she would definitely feel that this was a very long time.
But today's first ancestor of blood only feels that in just a short moment, a life goes from birth to end.
She already has the mentality of being a god, at least the mentality of an immortal.
"The time is coming."
"Remember your contract with us?"
Alpens raised his head suddenly, of course he knew what it meant.
His life is about to come to an end. According to the contract, his body will be handed over to the gods and returned to the deep sea.
He was just basking in his own glory and splendor, when the gods told him in the blink of an eye that his time was numbered.
This made him wake up from the splendor and glory in an instant, and he looked at the **** on the throne of flesh and blood in a daze.
But in the end he realized that as a mortal, he could not resist the coming of death.
That is their preordained fate, something that mortals cannot break.
Even if he is Alpens.
Even if he is the king of gods.
In the end, he could only bow his head and accept everything.
"I understand."
"Great God."
The First Ancestor of Blood just nodded, then waved Alpens away.
At first, she didn't need to remind Alpens, when his life span reached the end, his body would naturally come to her own country.
But Alpens has been very devout these years, and she also admires Alpens as the king. She hopes that Alpans can arrange everything before he dies, and that the Suinhor he created can last longer.
On the throne of flesh and blood, the **** holds the three-leaf seed.
She stroked the three-leaf seed lightly, as if she could feel its whispering excitedly.
The first Sanye will return, and they are all looking forward to it.
"Come back!"
"The oldest race and all that is old."
In the royal palace of the Fire Protection City.
Alpens woke up from his dream, and he lay open his eyes.
After thinking for a long time, he sat up.
Alpens caressed the armband on his hand, which was the proof of the blood family, all of which were bestowed on him by the gods.
Now the **** is about to withdraw his power.
However, in the city-state of Suinhor that he founded, everything that he established still needs to be passed on.
His life was coming to an end, but this country was just the beginning.
"It's time to get ready."
-----------------
In the forest garden of the royal court, a handsome young man is drawing a bow and arrow.
"Boom."
The arrow hit the bull's-eye precisely, making a sound of hitting.
He drew the bow and arrow again, ready for the next round of shooting.
His friend, who is also the head of the royal court's guards, went into Linyuan to find him, and the other party told him: "The king wants to see you."
Smerkel asked him: "Father looking for me?"
"Is there something urgent?"
The leader of the guards is very serious and serious, not as relaxed as he used to be familiar with.
"The king, the prime minister, and all the swearers have discussed that you will lead your troops to fight against the herding tribe that is about to go south to plunder."
Speaking of this, the voice of the guard leader became a little softer.
"The king may be preparing to pass on the throne to you. Your Highness, you must be careful."
King Alpens is aging very quickly these years, not only the people in the city-state know this, even the people in the animal herding tribe know it.
Smerkel is Suinhor's prince and the only heir.
Perhaps because of his abnormal body, it was very difficult for him to give birth to heirs,
It was not until twenty years ago that Alpens offered sacrifices and prayed to the gods that the gods gave them gifts.
Alpens finally gave birth to his own heir.
Smerkel means a person with a mission, and of course it also means duty and responsibility.
He was born with a unique meaning, he was born amidst the attention and expectations of everyone.
He is the son of King Alpens, the destined king of Suinhor.
He was born with missions and expectations, and Alpens pinned all his hopes and beliefs on him.
When he was born, Alpens smiled happily and was extremely heroic. The king held up Smerkel, who was still a baby, and said to him in front of everyone.
"My son."
"You are my everything and all my hope."
"I will entrust you with my kingdom and everything I have."
Smerkel grew up in the city of fire protection, and he was well protected. When he was born, he had the same red birthmark and the mysterious pattern of the gods.
Like his father, he is also a divinely favored person.
However.
Although he has a strong body and fighting ability, he does not have the tenacity and perseverance of his father Alpens, because he has never suffered.
He is a prince born in the palace and forest gardens, an idealist; when he was born, Suinhor had been in peace for decades, and King Alpens was also at its peak. Any war and crisis.
Countless people told Smallkel that he was destined to become a king.
But what kind of king does he want to be, how can he become a king, what kind of effort and price does he have to pay to become a king.
No one has ever told him this, and he himself has not fully figured it out.
So now Smerkel suddenly heard that its father, King Alpens, might pass on the throne to him, and Smerkel was suddenly at a loss.
He has just grown up, and in his opinion, that may be something that will take a long, long time to think about.
"Become king?"
"Leading troops to march?"
Prince Smerkel looked bewildered.
The head of the guard told Prince Smerkel: "Yes, you are destined to become king."
"Just like your father, you will lead the generals to gallop in the war."
"Wherever your spear reaches, everyone will kneel on the ground and surrender."
The head of the guard looked longingly at Prince Merkel, even though he hadn't made any achievements yet, everyone believed that he was destined to create the future.
Because of the blood on his body, because he is also the favored of the gods.
Prince Smerkel didn't answer, he just followed the head of the guards to the palace, where he met his father and the rulers of the city-state of Suinhor.
The moment everyone saw Prince Smerkel, they all stood up.
Salute to Prince Smerkel.
Alpens stepped forward and put his hand on Prince Smerkel's shoulder.
His sharp eyes scanned everyone, not like asking, but more like directly announcing.
"I want my son to be the commander-in-chief of this expedition. I think he will be able to defend my city-state instead of me."
"What do you think?"
Everyone catered one after another: "Prince Smerkel will definitely be able to win the enemy, we have never doubted this."
It was said to be a discussion, but in fact no one dared to object to the only son of King Alpens becoming the commander in chief.
Originally, Smerkel was not very confident, so he wanted to say something.
But when he opened his mouth, nothing came out.
At this time, his father, Alpens, took off the blood family certificate on his arm without hesitation, and put it on his son's hand.
He put his arms around Smerkel, and repeated what Smerkel said when he was born.
"My son."
"You are my everything and all my hope."
"I will entrust you with my kingdom and everything I have."
Alpens let go of Smerkel, and looked at his son expectantly and hopefully.
He spent his whole life building up this kingdom with his followers and subordinates.
This is a kingdom established in blood and fire, sacrificing the light of order and civilization established by an unknown number of people.
And now.
It's time to hand everything over to the next generation.
Smerkel touched the certificate of the blood family member on his arm, and his heart suddenly stirred up, feeling his blood boil.
This is a fetish bestowed by the gods. When he was young, he had seen his father use it to exert unimaginable power.
With this thing, it seems that all the difficulties are not difficult.
When the prince looked back, everyone trusted and looked forward to him.
Because he is the son of Alpens, he is destined to usher in victory.
And he must win this battle. Only in this way can he prove that he is the son of Alpens and that he has the ability to become a king.
