How to wear a goddess statue

The blood overflowed from the body of the deceased, meandering from the high ground to the low ground, dripped down the stage, and stagnated before Eleuil's toes, forming a small puddle of blood.

Fortunately, it was afternoon, during the break of the theater, and there was no large audience in front of the stage. Only a few theater staff were escorted by soldiers, and they were unprepared to witness this scene.

After a death-like silence, screams and gasps broke the stagnant time, and the director of the theater almost passed over on the spot, muttering "Don't kill me".

— It was an accident.

No one thought that Aslo would die so easily.As the general executor of the arrest, Lena had seriously considered on the way here, what should they do if the other party possessed special skills and tried to kill the net—however, these preparations in advance were no longer useful.

The song and dance actress chose to end her own life, as if she had expected it in a calm and unhurried manner. Just looking at her expression and performance, she seemed to be a little comfortable.

This description is very strange, but very appropriate.

Eleuil's expression was unpredictable, making it difficult to see what he was thinking.

After a while, she said briefly: "Clean up, take away."

Aslo's death left more doubts. People in the theater also need to be taken back for interrogation to determine whether they are related to this matter, what they know, how much they know... Besides, Aslo's past experiences and The history should also be thoroughly investigated.

The worst result is that the line from the incense maker to Aslo will be completely cut off with the death of the actor.

As for where the news was finally delivered, Eleuil had some guesses in his mind, but the guesses could not represent the reality.

And if her guess is correct——

As long as Aslu still resists, no matter how difficult the battle situation is, Eleuil will not have doubts like now.

I'm afraid that if she doesn't resist, she will regard life and death as nothing.

Because it might mean that the real "Athlo" still exists somewhere.

There seemed to be a dangerous premonitory breath in the air, light and faint, like a ray of inconspicuous wind, slowly drifting from the southwest of Solancia, hiding murderous intentions.

The soldiers who came with the princess were busy counting the theater personnel and searching for possible physical evidence; the theater personnel were panicked and did not dare to look at the corpses on the stage.

The former is conscientious and responsible, while the latter is afraid and confused, but they don't know that there may be deeper and bottomless involvement in what happened before them.

...Perhaps even Eleuil didn't realize it clearly.

Eleuil took one last look at Aslu.

His eyes were as cold as the edge of a sword.

She thought that the next arrangement probably needed to be changed.

------

At the same moment when Ashlu died, across the vast land of Soran, beyond the more distant boundary, something changed indeed.

Kasne, a neighboring country located in the southwest of Solancia.

Viewed from the sky, it is located on the edge of the continental plate, shaped like a clay vase with two bunches of grapes.

The territory of Kasnier is dominated by a large peninsula in the southwest of the mainland and many near-shore islands. The border of Ranchia faces the ocean in other directions, so it can be regarded as a peninsula country.

The country of Kasniel was established later than Sorancia. The two countries have fought wars and established diplomatic relations. Sometimes they are at war, and sometimes they call each other friendly.

As countries of similar size on the same continent, friction and cooperation are inevitable.

In recent decades, the situation has also quietly changed.

The impending storm triggered by the planning of the human world also appears in the system of gods and spirits.

At the same time that Aslu died thousands of miles away, the god opened his eyes on an island that seemed to exist but didn't seem to exist.

This is a god who takes on the appearance of a woman.

She was sitting on a square stone pillar, her legs were hanging out, her pale golden hair was hanging down like a waterfall, far beyond the limits of human hair, almost falling from the top of the pillar to the ground.

The goddess wears a crown as thin as smoke on her head, and when she opens her eyes, her irises are the dark blue of night, so dark that it is close to black and purple.

She looked down at her palms, a steady smile on her face.

"My shadow is dead."

The goddess smiled and said that the voice was not powerful, but it had a strange penetrating power, as if it could pass directly through the eardrum.

On the square pillar opposite, a male god with a coral crown turned his head and said strangely: "I remember you released your shadow hundreds of years ago, why are you dying now?"

The beast-headed god on another square pillar answered, "Don't you know? The shadow of Perluther has been changed several times, and this time the shadow is still very young, so it shouldn't be time to die..."

The last half of the sentence was not sure, and he looked at the goddess Perluther.

"Could it be killed by humans?"

The god on the last square pillar frowned, and the god crown above his head was shaped like a mountain.

In the center of the island, only these four square pillars stand quietly.

In Kasna, there are as many gods as a cow's hair, and almost every thing with a name has a corresponding god.

Of course, not all the gods can be remembered by the Kasna people, and the average person can say a dozen or so names, which is already pretty good.

In this complex and scattered system, there are four gods that form the backbone of the pantheon.

The God of the Ocean, the God of Mountains and Rivers, the God of Creatures, and the Goddess of Soul—they are respectively in charge of the sea, mountains and rivers, animals and plants, as well as the heart and soul of human beings.

These four gods are the existences that support the world and the world in the Kasne mythology. They stay on an island in the sea all year round. It is an island of mythology, an island of nothingness, and is isolated from the world.

There are four square stone pillars standing on the island, which belong to the four gods respectively, which are the holy pillars where they store their bodies.

Goddess of Soul, short for the God of Heart and Soul, her real name is Perluther. When this goddess raised her eyes to look at her companion, her pupils were exactly the same color as those of the dead opera singers, covered with a dark blue light.

"What a pity, the shadow this time." Perluther said in a daze, "... what a pity."

Mountain God: "So it really was killed by humans?"

"I reclaimed it myself. Although it is more convenient for humans to do it, I don't want to die by the hands of that human."

"Don't laugh, please. It really gives me goosebumps," said the Beast God.

Perluther turned to him with a smile, and the latter took a deep breath, maybe he wanted to take a breath, and pulled down the animal crown on his head to cover the upper half of his face, out of sight and out of fear.

"Speaking of which, your believer died earlier. After his location was discovered, the divine power I left there dissipated by itself. I don't know the specifics."

The Beast God didn't take it seriously: "What does this have to do with me?"

"It's nothing, it's just that this human being almost made something really useful, and he was thinking about whether to send him back to Kasneh, and the others will be gone." The goddess of the soul sighed, "Should it be said that meeting that human being is not a good thing? ? It was, and it is now."

The other gods did not answer, as if they were staring at the air in front of them in a daze. After a long time, the Sea God calmly asked, "Do you still want to send your shadow to the world, Perluther?"

"It's not necessary. There will be civil strife in Solancia, the northern king city and the southern sea city. The timing should not be grasped. Let our humans worry about it."

That's right, the situation of Solancia's north-south confrontation is inevitable, and it may soon be fought.

And Kasniel only needs to watch, choose the most suitable opportunity, and join forces with the Sanur tribe in the highland grassland to attack Solancia.

It just so happens that the Sanur tribe still needs a little time to integrate, and they are not in a hurry.

At this time, the mountain god sighed: "We don't need to care about it at first, right? As long as we are prepared when the day when the war is destined to come, how humans arrange it is a matter for humans. We only need to deal with the Soran pantheon, and don't care about the rest."

The Beast God poured cold water: "The last time humans went to war, we said the same thing. In the end, it wasn't a war that decided the fate of civilization. We could only watch on the island, and we couldn't even fight Solan God. We were so angry. gone."

Pearl Luther said quietly: "Not this time, just wait for the next time, we can always wait until that day."

As for how long you have to wait, it doesn't really matter.

Whether it is for some humans in Kasne, or for her, they have been waiting for so long, and they are not short of patience.

Just at this moment, the air suddenly became quiet.

The rocks on the island trembled, and the waves crashed on the shore more and more powerfully. The animals and birds in the forest seemed to sense something. The birds dropped their branches, and the beasts lowered their forelimbs, as if worshiping.

The four gods looked at each other and lowered their heads.

"Father God." They said in unison.

Following this call, in this space that does not belong to reality, the clouds gathered here, and in the blink of an eye, they condensed into a tall figure in the open space between the square pillars.

I can't see the shape clearly, as if my whole body is shrouded in light, and my face is a cloud of surging light and mist.

"Are you discussing whether we can go to war with the Soran pantheon?" The figure made a soft and gentle voice, the voice was indistinguishable, and it seemed that women and men, old people and children were speaking at the same pace, overlapping together, Very weird.

Kerato, independent of the four gods system, is the god who created the world, and is honored as the "great first god" by the Kasni people.

The Kasni people believe that Keroto is the original life in the universe. He created the world from darkness and nothingness, and embellished mountains, rivers, oceans and all kinds of creatures.

He is the Father God of all things and is the belief of all Kasniers.

Facing the original god, Perluther smiled slightly and said, "Yes, we hope that everything can be decided this time."

The First God turned his cloud face to the northeast, where Solancia was.

After pondering for a while, he slowly said: "Yes."

"What does Father God mean?"

"This war initiated by humans will be our opportunity." Kerotto said, "We will gain the belief of Solancia with the Sanur pantheon. I can foresee that this future is very, very near. "

The Beast God opened his eyes wide with excitement, and the Mountain God and Sea God just smiled as they looked at each other.

The goddess of the soul lowered her eyes, and heard Cerotto ask plainly: "Perluther, what do you want to say? Solancia, after all, is the land where you were born."

Perluser said indifferently: "I don't feel anything, it was already thousands of years ago, what's more, the human beings living there today are enemies with the human beings who believe in me."

Kerotto looked at her with a misty face and nodded.

Then it turned back into the non-existent Yunxia.

Perluther watched him disappear, her smile never fading.

Suddenly, I remembered the old man I saw in the Suolan King City, appearing in the image of a black-haired and blue-eyed female official, which is different from the past and the one passed down by humans, but it is still easy to recognize.

"The old black hair is still more pleasing to the eye." She said to herself.
