Chapter 173 The Painful Goddess Finds Her New Path
"I...I don't know..."
In the past, Lovita would have answered the old skeleton's question very proudly.
She is a deity known as the Maiden of Pain. Although most of her followers in the material world are perverts, they usually do not build temples for her in order to avoid suspicion.
But they can’t resist their high status and large numbers!
Among the noble lords and ladies in Huiyao City alone, there were countless who were secretly worshipping their own statues.
In terms of the social status of believers, I am much better than that fake goddess Lal.
When he escaped from the astral plane to the main material plane, he saw clearly the dirty nature of those so-called believers.
Feeling pain and enduring pain is the path to success and victory - this was the teaching of the former Girl of Pain;
But in the eyes of those believers, the doctrines they practiced in order to win turned into slogans and toys on the bed.
"If all I can do is spread this perverse joy, what am I supposed to do?
Add some new perverts to the world?"
There was still no light in Lovita's eyes, and the tone of her voice was like a dead fish turning over in a pond, lifeless.
[This little guy's thoughts... are exactly the same as when we chose not to ignite the divine fire...]
"Yeah, after seeing what those rubbish gods did—
I'm not talking about you, Rillifane. Why are you staring at me?
I think it’s good to be a mortal...tsk tsk..."
Alduin finally shifted his gaze elsewhere, but only moved it down a little, from the front to the back.
"Little guy, the little orc who often chats with us in the base doesn't have as many entanglements in his heart as you do..."
"is it?
I guess she hasn't seen such a scene yet.
Wild Giants, more than 400 of them. Even a legendary rank would have to spend a lot of energy to deal with them...
As a result, they wiped out the enemy with just thirty or so beginner guys and ten strange-looking weapons.
Your Highness Rillifane, although I became a god less quickly than you, I can still foresee—
With weapons like these, what need do mortals have for the power bestowed by the gods?"
“Puff—hiss—”
Alduin pulled hard at his beard to try not to laugh out loud.
As an old monster who has survived from the First Age to the present, his power has far exceeded that of ordinary gods.
Even if the little girl in front of him came down from the astral plane with all her divine power, she would probably be pinned to the ground and played with by Alduin.
The power given by God...it's really ridiculous.
Unlike Alduin's thoughts, Rillifane, who was once a god, could understand the thoughts of the little girl in his eyes.
“Oh—little one, it seems that the chaos of the Third Age has made you all forget the real reason for becoming a god.
Being a god is not a role that can be played by just anyone with the strongest body."
The soul fire in the old skeleton's eye sockets flickered with golden light.
This was after the Battle of the Elf Courtyard, when he awakened a completely new divinity that was different from the previous Lord of the Forest.
“The reason why God is God is because His thoughts and teachings will guide the believers;
Believers provide us with the power of faith, which is the food of the gods.
Regardless of whether these foods eventually turn into divine power or are transformed into divinity, all of this is only to enable us to better give back to the believers.
Didn't you notice, little guy, that the five women following you are not the dirty guys in Huiyao City..."
After pretending to be cool, the old skeleton turned and left, but then suddenly paused, as if he remembered something.
"brat……"
The white-robed skeleton did not look back, as if there was something in front of him that was attracting his attention.
“To borrow a phrase from a human kid, when God’s faith can help believers, then believers will have a reason to contribute their faith to you.
What’s that word called…Oh yes, values;
Value recognition is the foundation of faith.”
……
The newly completed Hall of the Ancestors is almost twice the size of the original site of the Spine of the World.
Considering that this building would be the administrative center, education center and refuge center of the Frost Giants, Alduin built the outer wall very thick.
To this end, the old guy made the little frost giants work overtime.
Under the tall dome, there are long tables and oversized chairs for the frost giants.
Anyway, the Frostbeard tribe currently has a sparse population, so they just casually arranged the area next to the training ground into a dining area.
As if on purpose, this area also imitated the layout of the Bol Oak Hall, which made the half-giant feel like putting his feet on the table from time to time.
Since the celebration dinner started, most people have been drunk - of course, except for Ryan and Todd who are in charge of the night guard. The two of them are now not drinking at all. They stay alone on the city wall, smoking in the direction of the noisy hall.
"Ahem - Todd, what's so good about this thing? It's so choking -"
"You don't understand. This is the favorite pastime of the nobles in the south."
"Do the nobles like to have fun with themselves?"
"Ahem - trend, understand? The trend of human cities!"
The two brothers who were unable to attend the banquet could only sit on the city wall in the biting cold wind and stare blankly.
Suddenly, the aroma of barbecue came from behind, and then the unique voice of a short half-elf sounded.
"Hey! Those little frost giants are pretty good at grilling. Do you want to try some?"
Little Lian came up from the corner of the city wall, carrying a large basket of food.
"Ha! Little Lian, aren't you going to accompany your sister?
You two were inseparable before..."
Todd looked at Lian with a half-smile, but for some reason the half-elf's face looked puffed up.
"Humph! I don't want that!
My sister is always following that pervert around, and she ignores me when I talk to her!"
The short half-elf took out a few golden steaks from the basket and handed them to the two poor hungry men guarding the city gate.
He looked around again and made sure that there was no one around. Then he stealthily took out two cans of rye from the bottom of the basket.
"Xiao Lian, we are on duty..."
The honest man Ryan was about to refuse the can of drink, but Todd next to him had already tilted his head back and started drinking it.
Shaking his head helplessly, Ryan took the rye and put the bottle of drink aside.
He didn't want to encounter a night attack and there was no one on the entire city wall to sound the alarm.
Just as he was about to focus on the barbecue, Ryan saw something interesting happening under the city wall.
"Little Lianne, isn't that your sister and Ivan?"
Following the direction of Ryan's finger, the little half-elf soon found Xiling's figure.
The tall half-elf was hitting Ivan's head unhappily, and it looked like he was hitting him very hard.
Opposite these two people, three people who were walking peacefully were attracted by Xiling's heavy punch and stopped.
“Ahaha! I knew that pervert was going to get beaten again!
Who told him to pull his sister along to see Kayla wearing her clothes? "
