How to wear a goddess statue

Of course Rhodes is guilty.

Because she found that, at some point, her feelings towards Eleuil became different.

This change started in a subtle and silent manner, and when it was discovered, it was deeply rooted in his heart, so that Luo Dus didn't know how to deal with this feeling at all.

In the strange ancient times, the first thing Rhodes saw was Eleuil, and it was Eleuil who led her to gradually integrate into everything in Gusoran, leading her to a new direction completely different from the past.

friend, guide, knower...

In any case, from the very beginning, Eleuil was destined to play the most special role in this period of her career.

But this kind of "specialness" gave rise to another meaning in getting along with her. When Luo Dasi first noticed it, she almost thought that there was something wrong with her. I struggled for a long time, trying to suppress those thoughts in my mind.

Inadvertently lingering on the bright red lips, the silhouette and demeanor of the bow and arrow, the casualness of the cold beauty in private conversations, and all the other sides that are unknown.

They beat on the precarious willpower of Rhodes over and over again, trying to break into the door of the heart. This was a long tug-of-war, and the final result can be imagined.

After compromising to himself, Rhodes carefully concealed his heart from Eleuil's discovery.Although many people in the city-state of Soran believed that the Lord Eleuil liked women, such rumors were groundless, at least Rhodes had never seen any similar signs.

The two are friends and cooperative allies, maintaining a delicate balance. If she rashly expresses an unexplainable liking, how will Eleuil react?Rhodes had to worry about this, and she chose not to say anything.

As a result, Rhodes is now an occasional guilty crush.

Guilty will happen in certain situations. For example, currently, Eleuil expresses concern out of the friendship between the two, but she is secretly happy for the concern shown by the other party.

Should really be ashamed of it.

Rhodes thought.

After successfully guiding a small-scale rainfall, the sequelae were more than ten days of lethargy. After that, Luodus had no energy for a long time, and his physical strength was probably only a little higher than that of being able to take care of himself.

And when this feeling eased, Luotus tried to use a stronger water control ability, but failed. He could only condense a basketball-sized water mass and make small things like ice arrows and pucks.

Maybe it was just an accidental super-performance, maybe other conditions were required, such as a strong desire to achieve the goal?

Rhodes is unknown, as subsequent attempts have failed.

The effect of this rain was immediate. The city that was abandoned by other large city-states and many people in its own city witnessed the miracle and was completely convinced.

The goddess of the river who bestows rain seems to have become their new god, and the influence of the Soran myth has further expanded. Even in the era of inconvenient transportation, the legend still spreads quite quickly. This is something that Luodus had never thought of before .

Besides that, there is another change.

Although Luo Dasi is not clear whether this change is his own illusion.

In the afternoon of that day, Rhodes was sitting by the pool. At first glance, he seemed to be feeding the fish, but he was actually practicing controlling the water flow in the pool.

A certain indistinct feeling of being observed arose in his heart, Luo Dasi stopped practicing, turned his head suddenly, his eyes were clear, and looked in the direction of the line of sight.

There is nothing there.

The sense of being watched also seemed to disappear.

Rhodes stared there for a moment, then looked away.

Ever since the news of the miracle of rain spread among the city-states, Rhodes occasionally felt faint sights from the surroundings, only occasionally.

In fact, it should be a psychological illusion to always feel that someone is watching her from behind, and Rhodes also thought so at the beginning-until a certain time later, when she faced the air in front of her, she still felt that the place where her eyes were looking Things get weird when there is a strange sense of observation.

But this non-existent line of sight did not bring corresponding troubles, and over time, Rhodes didn't care much about it.

------

One day, the sky was overcast.

In the newly occupied city, every household closed their doors and windows tightly. The roads in the city that could not be called a street still left Xiao Ran after Jin Ge passed by. There were almost no pedestrians walking around, and the atmosphere was quite cold.

Compared with other large city-states at this time, the Soran army led by Eleuil had stricter military discipline, and it was the least harmful to ordinary civilians. Even so, the locals still raised 1 cautions and dared not go out at will. Afraid of bumping into soldiers patrolling the city.

Rhodes walked alone on the road.

She had just separated from Eleuil, who was going to the barracks, and Rhodes was going to the local place of worship.

A small city-state like this can leave fewer traces than ancient Solan, almost nothing. Later generations will divide them into a part of Solancia's history, and in this era, it has just ended.

Rhodes just wanted to take a look.

Before the establishment of Gusoran, there was no magnificent temple building, and the place of worship was just a small square with an altar in the center surrounded by small stone pillars.

And in front of the altar, a figure in a white robe stood with his back facing Rhodes. Judging from his figure, it was a woman.

Local priest?

But before Soran's army captured this city, it was occupied by another large city-state - Nibet, and the priests should have been slaughtered by them just like other local nobles.

Rotas felt strange and took a step forward.

The white-robed person seemed to hear the movement, and turned around. Her hair color was very light, her eyes were as dark blue as the night, and the corners of her mouth were curled into a smile, but there was no smile in her eyes.

Rhodes was always quite cautious when facing this kind of people he had never seen before and whose origins were unknown, so he didn't move forward and asked flatly, "Who are you?"

"Me? My name is Aslu." The white-robed man paused, "A bard."

Luo Dasi nodded politely, and the moment he lowered his eyes, he seemed to hear a subtle sound of breaking the sky in his ears, which was fleeting.

Aslu's face turned pale, she raised her hand to hold the center of her eyebrows, as if suffering from a headache, she put down her hand after a while, and looked at Rhodes with a thoughtful and novel look.

"They are right, you are a human being who can use divine power."

Luo Dasi's heart was shocked, and then he looked up, but saw that the altar was empty.

The white-robed man who called himself Aslu had disappeared.

Who is this person?

What does it mean to be a human being who can use divine power?

This event can be called supernatural, Luo Dasi was slightly startled, but when he recovered, he had many doubts and guesses.

She didn't intend to tell Aleuil about this at the beginning, not only because of the weirdness, but also because of some kind of tacit understanding between the two.

Until now, Eleuil has not raised any questions about the identity of the so-called "giant fish elf" by Rhodes - including the ability to control the water flow -. The origin and ability are both topics that the two of them tacitly avoided.

However, Ashloh made a few surreptitious appearances afterwards.

Aslu tried to get Rhodes to change sides, but she didn't say which side she wanted to switch to, she just urged her to abandon the city-state of Soran.

These words should be ignored by Rhodes.

But every time Aslu tried to persuade her like this, her heart would actually echo in low voices, even though Rhodes had no similar thoughts, and was even annoyed.

Rhodes thought it was the other party's ability, just like she could control water, but soon she discovered that it was more than that simple.

The evaluation of "elusive" is very appropriate for Aslu, because she is a god.

People can become gods, and she tried to recruit Rhodes several times, just to make him a god of the same camp as her.

Rhodes: "..."

For a moment, she didn't know whether to be amazed that there is a god in the world, or to lament that Aslo is so good at talking to himself.

It stands to reason that the gods should be extremely dangerous, and they can easily deal with Luodus, who only knows how to slush ice.

Luckily, Aslo doesn't seem to be able to get her hands on humans.

It's right to think about it, if the gods can kill and hurt humans at will, the current chaos in the city-states will be doubled, or the war will be quelled directly-because no one can escape the impact of the battle of the gods.

After realizing this, Luodas didn't talk to Aslu any more, but was secretly on guard.

Aslu probably noticed that Luodas was unmoved, and he rarely appeared afterwards.

In the next three years, the conquest and annexation between city-states became more and more intense, until all the small city-states disappeared, and various large city-states fought endlessly.

Soran's territory gradually expanded.

The time when Solancia was established as verified by historians is getting closer and closer. In the territory belonging to Solancia in later generations, there are only three city-states—or countries.

Solan, whose army was commanded by Eleuil.

Nibet, who once had the upper hand and is now weakening.

Gabriel, who shrank in the south and did not participate in the battle.

Finally, the main forces of Solan and Nibet will start a battle beside the Sittings Mountains. This will inevitably be a crucial battle, and its outcome may be enough to determine the final victory.

At this time, Rhodes had almost forgotten the existence of Aslu, until the day before the battle, Aslu appeared again.

Ashlu sighed: "I know without asking, you won't agree, right?"

Rhodes: "...May I ask, what makes you so persistent?"

She'd asked that question before, but only this time Ashru answered.

"Your soul is different from other people and gods, as if it is not something in this [world]." Aslu said, "I really hope that you can maintain this specialness when you become the queen of Nibet. "

This sentence made Luotus think for a long time, but finally did not think of the meaning.

Solancia's river goddess, can it still be Nibert's?baffling.

At this moment, Eleuil lifted the curtain: "Who are you talking to?"

Seeing her complexion, Lautas frowned slightly: "How long have you not rested?"

The two looked at each other.

Rhodes: "Rest now."

Eleuil: "Okay."

Eleuil expressed that she didn't want to go back to her tent, Rhodes hesitated for a moment, and with a mentality that was both vaguely satisfied and self-blaming for this satisfaction, let the swaying female city lord sleep here.

Rhodes himself was about to go out, but just as he turned around, Eleuil grabbed the hem of his clothes.

"If there is anything, you can tell me at any time." Eleuil said.

Luoda paused: "Okay."

He added: "You too."

Eleuil raised the corners of her eyes, and the angle from bottom to top made this micro-movement particularly confusing. She was thinking about something, but did not let go of the corner of Rhodes's clothes, and said briskly for a while: "I will do it later."

"after?"

"After the battle with Nibert is over."

It is probably some follow-up matter of the war... Luotus understood and nodded: "I see."

Aleuil let go of the corner of his clothes, closed his eyes and said, "You don't know."

Rhodes was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Eleuil, who was already asleep.

She really needs to rest well for the upcoming battle.

The day of war came as promised.

That day, Solan and Nibet's soldiers confronted each other on the battlefield, one black and one red armor, like two distinct torrents.

Rhodes will not go to the battlefield. After all, as the human body of the new God River Goddess, fighting like ordinary soldiers would seem very ungodly.

Therefore, Rhodes stood at a slightly higher place in the rear, watching the battle situation, and released a few water balls of ice at the right time.

In this battle, not to mention a certainty of victory, it is also a sure thing.

What's more, with Aleuil around.

She was here, as if she had completed one of the ten, telling everyone that Solan would be the final winner.

Capture the thief first and capture the king, which is applicable at any time, and the opponent obviously thinks the same way. Rhodes paid attention to the danger from Nibet's army, but did not pay special attention to his own army formation.

Neither did Eleuil.

In other words, even if she paid attention, it was too late to respond, because it was the closest personal soldier behind her who made the move.

In the blink of an eye, the betrayer's long knife pierced the commander's left chest from behind, the white sharp blade pierced in, and the blood-red tip was pulled out, so fast that even the betrayer himself didn't seem to expect it.

He shook his hands, and the long knife he had just drawn fell to the ground with a clatter.

Time seems to be frozen at this moment.

There was a loud buzzing in Rhodes' ears, but he couldn't hear anything.

The two armies have already started fighting, and there is no way to suspend it. Other soldiers killed the traitor with swords, and brought Eleuil back to the rear against the torrent of soldiers.

They looked at Rhodes eagerly and praying, as if they hoped that she could save the dying city lord.

Ke Luodasi is not a god, even if she is, she cannot control life and death.

Rotas half-kneeled beside Eleuil, trying to control the blood rushing back to that body to continue to function, but to no avail, instead, she stained himself with her blood.

Eleuil half-opened his eyes and said softly: "...Rhodos."

"Don't talk!" Rodas's eyes were covered with mist, she clenched her teeth, and controlled the blood to flow backwards against the norm. The next moment, more blood gushed out, she murmured, "Why can't I stop... "

Eleuil continued: "I—"

She opened her lips, as if to spit out words that represent love or liking in Solan, but in the end she pressed her upper lip and said instead: "You...you should go back to the Yilu River."

These were the last words she said.

The blood was no longer flowing continuously, and it was useless to continue to fill it up. Luotus lowered his head and stared blankly at the pair of golden eyes with lost spirit and dilated pupils.

Out of nowhere, Rhodes asked, "What do I not know?"

But no one can answer.

All the memories after that are blurred and scattered, like flashback fragments.

Rhodes saw himself looking around blankly, as if he caught a glimpse of Aslu's figure in a corner of the sky, and it was fleeting.

Aslu, Nibet, God, Betrayer.

A few words are connected together, and Luo Dasi no longer knows whether it is the truth or not.

In her memory, she seemed to be mentally split into two halves, one half was coerced by great sadness and anger, wanting to avenge the actions of God Nibet; Thinking I don't know what?What are you trying to say?

The sad and angry half finally meets the other half, sad and angry or blank.

In the center of the bronze mirror that he carried with him, the inside of the sapphire suddenly surged violently. Perhaps the extremely strong will and emotional resonance were the reason for the explosive power, or maybe not.

But what can be seen is that the Yilu River outside the battlefield suddenly rioted at this moment.

The river rises into the sky, and the transparent water waves cover the sky and the sun, covering the sky and the earth.

Like a vast net of water opened by death.

The water waterfall hangs upside down, the water curtain is laid out, and the invisible force changes the river course and affects the earth. The torrent on the ground and the torrent in the sky sweep towards Nibet's army at the same time.

——This is a man-made natural disaster!

The last scene in my memory is that Rhodes is half hugging Eleuil's body, lowering his head and closing his eyes quietly.

A small area of ​​rain made her sleepy for ten days and weak for a long time.

This natural disaster drained her vitality, and the black hair hanging behind her shoulders was gradually stained with frost, turning into strands of silvery white.

The dark red blood stains on it are almost invisible when the hair is black, but it is extremely eye-catching and speckled on the silver hair.

Two light spots flickered and sank into the Yilu River, and the waves rolled by.

A few years later, a temple of the river goddess will be built here, and the girl who almost died of thirst in the drought will be the first priest.

More than 1000 years later, the branches of the river still run along the diverted riverbed, and the temple remains the same after several repairs.

The name of this city is called Kadela.

------

At the bottom of Gadar Lake, in front of the altar of the Temple of Nothingness, Rhodes slowly opened his eyes.

The author has something to say:

Just... the previous life in the copywriting is probably such a previous life (although it is not considered a reincarnation).

Those things that I didn't write because they are memories:

After the rain, the sense of gaze that came from time to time came from the gods of various city-states. They all heard that there was a human being who could use divine power, so they took time to take a look during the melee.

Aslu is Perluther. Her divine power is the least likely to touch the rules when it comes to influencing human beings. The betrayer originally had a little dissatisfaction in his heart, and under the influence of the goddess of the soul, he magnified his emotions, so he backstabbed.

When Eleuil was dying, he was still explaining the follow-up countermeasures of the war on the way back when he was brought back, and then immediately turned on the love brain (sorrowful version) mode after returning to Lotus.

It's true that the two had a two-way secret love in their previous life. In the end, Eleuil actually wanted to confess, but because he was going to be cold, he chose not to say it in the end.

Because this chapter is relatively long, so the code is now Orz
