How to wear a goddess statue

During the time when he came to Gusoran, Luodus didn't think about what to do in the future.

If possible, she still wants to go back.

It has nothing to do with his parents who have weak ties and friends who are not very close. It's just that in this turbulent and backward ancient world, Rhodes is a real stranger.

No identity, no affiliation, no money, no reason.

In comparison, of course, it is better to return to the familiar era.

Another more important reason is that Luodus doesn't know what to do here.

Her path was planned long ago. For a long time, Rhodes walked straight on that path without any mistakes. However, in the strange lost world before her, the front end of the path has been cut off, and the next step Which direction should I go?

Rhodes temporarily gave up studying the bronze mirror, turned the mirror upside down, and gently stroked the bracelet on his wrist with his fingertips.

After a while, she turned the mirror up again and adjusted her expression to herself in the mirror.

Frost blue eyes drooped slightly, the gentle smile on the corner of the mouth faded away, showing indifference without joy or sorrow.

At first glance, it's quite intimidating.

Eleuil's seemingly casual yet serious proposal rang in his ears.

Rotas pressed the mirror-inlaid sapphire with one hand, and snapped his fingers with the other hand, just like a mutant superpower or something in a film and television work, a crystal flower composed of icicles exploded at his fingertips.

A new goal...

------

The next day, Rhodes went out and met Eleuil who was practicing arrows in the garden.

This city lord has superb archery skills, every arrow can hit the target accurately, and he has a golden aura, like a Valkyrie.

Could it be that anyone with the name Aleuil is good at playing?

Rhodes did not make a sound, and stood quietly behind the other party watching.

Aleuil didn't seem to notice it until the last arrow shot at the top of the tree at a high angle, and a fruit fell in response to the sound, and landed firmly on her timely opened palm.

"It's for you." Eleuil threw it back without looking back.

Lotus reached out to catch the fruit and raised his eyes.

"That thing you said, count me in."

Aleuil: "Have you considered it clearly?"

As she spoke, she turned around and was stunned when she saw Luodus' expression clearly.

Lotus maintained the expression he confirmed after self-assessment in front of the mirror, and looked at her calmly.

"You look—" Eleuil paused here, as if he was pondering his words, and then said, "It's hard to imagine, aren't you really some god who came here to play tricks on people?"

Rhodes: "I remember, you said you didn't believe in God before."

"That was before, and I will be your faithful believer in the future."

Aleuil narrowed his eyes thoughtfully: "Or, you."

The Lord Solan obviously intends to come for real, no matter what kind of psychology he has, Rhodes has some expectations.

Perhaps it was because I had never deviated from the orthodox tradition, so the first time I "rebelled", I made a big one.

Afterwards, the two conspirators discussed the details.

Eleuil believes that as long as Rhodes keeps that expression, stands on the stage, and randomly throws a water polo and splashes, it will be enough to confirm the existence of the miracle.

Rhodes: "But you don't have a god in charge of water, at least not yet. It's hard to win people's trust."

Eleuil: "You are."

Rhodes tried to keep his premise: "I'm just a giant fish."

"Then now, you have been upgraded from the elves of the Illu River to the Illu River itself." Eleuil shrugged, "We Solan does not have the protection of water and rivers, but several other city-states do, such as the next door, beside the Water Ze River It’s so exhilarating, it’s really annoying.”

Therefore, if you want to establish the most lofty theocracy, surpass the beliefs of other city-states at the level of myths and legends, inspire your own side, and suppress enemy states.

Rhodes reminds of the "Rhodas" in the ancient Solan mythology system.

That was the origin of her name, and the myth about the river goddess was formed against this background?

"...the goddess of the Yilu River, the incarnation of all clear water, the blue heron is her messenger, and the giant fish is her car. Her flood is flowing on the earth, just like flowing in the kingdom of God."

Rhodes murmured.

She once found the ancient Soran research collection out of interest, and one of them was dedicated to introducing the mythology system. The description of the ancient god with the same name as her is still fresh in her memory.

Eleuil: "Okay, that's it."

Rhodes: "Huh?"

Aleuil raised the corners of his eyes, nodded his chin and said, "Sounds very sublime, it can suppress the crocodile god next door... Then, the river goddess Lorca?"

It seems that the female city lord has already determined the content of the propaganda vigorously, and Rhodes was silent for a moment, and decided to correct the history.

"Rhodas. My name."

Rhodes, the river goddess.

As one of the members of the Solancia mythology system, in this world where there are real gods, it originated from a man-made plan, although the parties did not know it, and the gods of the city-states in the melee were not aware of it.

[Fate] will always push some things to the established track.

It is what cannot be resisted and cannot be changed that can be called destiny.

In the city-state of Solan, new myths are quietly spreading.

Aleuil hopes to let the people of the Soran city-state see that the fate is in me and in us.

Among the many chaotic city-states, only Solan was recognized by the gods and destined to unify this land.

For this, Rhodes needs to show an irrefutable "miracle" that is beyond the reach of human beings, to confirm this statement.

For example, control the water in the river to rise into the sky and spell out the symbols of the city-state of Soran.

For another example, under the watchful eyes of everyone, a dagger of ice crystals condensed in the air. Eleuil used it to stab the assassin of the hostile city-state, and complained that it was too cold.

In this era, it is normal for city-states to annex each other, and Solan has already annexed many small cities.

At first, the large city-states were able to maintain a superficial peace with each other, but everyone wanted to occupy more land and become more powerful.

This is a trend, and no side can be allowed to stay out of the matter, otherwise it will only be swallowed up by other rising city-states.

In such a situation, Solan rose up with a tough stance.

The father of the Ailuil brothers and sisters is really very discerning. When Ailuil was fighting outside, the young city lord was able to keep the city stable without any hidden worries about military equipment and logistics.

The co-governance model is most afraid of power struggles, but the siblings have no quarrel at all. They almost work together to turn Solan into an iron barrel, or an iron barrel with external thorns.

Rotas knew very well that his role in it could only be regarded as icing on the cake. If Solan's strength could not support it, the so-called miracle would be just a joke.

But it is precisely because of Solan's power that the statement that the gods manifested and manifested the destiny is particularly credible.

Many times, Rhodes and Eleuil will not be too far apart, or even inseparable.

In fact, according to Eleuil's previous idea, Rhodes should stay in the city-state after performing several miracles, and stay with the priests, but later Eleuil rejected this proposal first, saying that it would be better to act with the army .

Rhodes has no objection, after all, in terms of self-protection ability, no human being can compare with her.

Just in case the ability suddenly disappeared, just as suddenly as it appeared, Rhodes began to learn some necessary skills from Eleuil.

For example, riding, swordsmanship, and simple fighting skills, Luo Dasi learned quickly. She has always learned everything quickly, otherwise she would not be able to achieve the "perfection" her parents needed.

Once, Aleuil seemed to be inadvertently sighing: "Are all of you giant fish so smart?"

Rhodes hesitated for a moment: "Actually, I'm not—"

Aleuil: "Understood, you are my god."

With mutual understanding, this sentence is closer to a joke, although the tone is a bit too soft.

"Now, everyone says that I am a loyal believer of the River Goddess. After all, I am the lord of the city you have chosen."

"Then are you?"

Eleuil didn't answer immediately, but from Rhodes' perspective, she seemed to be in deep thought.

The silence was too long, and Rhodes subconsciously asked, "Eleuil?"

Solan's warlike city lord came back to his senses and smiled lowly: "Of course."

She took Luotus' hand, lowered her head and touched it lightly on the back of the hand.

Before Rhodes could react, Eleuil let go, as if this was just an unusual move.

And this is indeed no problem, kissing the back of the hand is just a symbol of respect and piety.

However, Rhodes inappropriately thought of the rumors spread among the attendants of the former city lord's mansion, about the rumor that the foreigner brought back by the female city lord was her lover—although no one dared to spread it anymore.

It was only later that Luodus found out that the reason for such rumors was that Eleuil rejected all the marriage proposals when he was a girl, and impatiently opened a day-long arena for this purpose, beating up the intended suitors. .

Since then, there have been rumors that the daughter of the city lord only likes women.

Such rumors are of course groundless.

But at this moment, Rhodes actually felt a little regretful about it.

Why not?

The next moment, Luo Das realized what he was thinking about: "..."

Rumors hurt people.

The long axis of memory scrolls quickly, staying in one frame for a short time.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye. In this turbulent era, Rhodes has grown accustomed to it from being unaccustomed at first, and the city-state of Solan has also expanded into one of the most powerful city-states in three years.

With yet another campaign, the territorial boundaries extended westward to the edge of a large lake.

The locals only called it "the lake", and there was no other name, and Luo Dasi didn't know it at first, until he picked up a stone by the lake.

On this stone was written her familiar handwriting, which was "Gadar" in the modern language.

Rhodes' heart skipped a beat, and an unspeakable premonition hit her, and she felt that this was a hint.

But what do you suggest?

Who carved the word on the face of the black stone, herself?but why?

At some point, Eleuil stood beside him and said, "Give this lake a name."

"It is said that it is the largest lake in this land, and it should be named by you."

Rhodes said softly: "...Gadar."

It is indeed Lake Gadar, Eleuil is right, Gadar is the largest lake in the land of Solancia, even in modern times.

Is that stone just to hint at that?

Luo Dasi was puzzled, but left the black stone behind.

The memory axle turns one more step.

The Soran front is still advancing, a small city abandoned by other large city-states, which is being shrouded in the shadow of drought.

The local people heard that the river goddess of the Soran city-state had performed miracles, and they surrendered almost immediately, hoping that the rain would come.

Rhodes's ability is not enough to control the rain, and Aileu can also use other reasons to get rid of this matter, but this makes Rhodes feel powerless.

After all, she is a person, not a god in the legend.

Especially when one sees a young girl about to die of thirst, one condenses out a glass of water to save the child, and when one looks around but there are more victims, one cannot be completely indifferent.

The legend of the gods comes from fiction.

But the expectations and prayers that came from it actually fell on Luotus.

Rhodes just wanted to try, even though he couldn't do it, at least he had to try.

Out of this idea, she tried to induce a certain connection with the bronze mirror. This desire was very strong, and the rain really came.

This was an unreasonable rain, there were not even many clouds gathering above her head, and Rhodes didn't see more, because when the first drop of rain fell, she had already lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, he was facing Eleuil's face.

"You slept for ten days," she said.

Rhodes tried to sit up, but failed: "Ten days?"

"To be precise, ten days and nights." Eleuil said with a serious expression, "This is harmful to you, isn't it?"

Rhodes tilted his head: "Perhaps?"

She really didn't expect that if he had prepared in advance, Rhodes would never try it.

Eleuil took a deep breath, and suddenly leaned over to hug her.

"Don't do this again next time. Rhodes, you don't know how worried I am."

Rhodes said in a low voice, "Okay, no more."

Under the tight embrace, the heartbeats of the two were almost in sync, and Luodas always felt that his own was faster, which was probably an illusion brought about by a guilty conscience.

The author has something to say:

Unexpectedly, the two chapters have not been finished yet. Reminiscing about Orz

Is this the result of digging too many holes in the early stage... The next chapter will definitely!There are still two fragments that have no pits to bury thousands of years ago!
