Chapter 58
Levin was about to speak, but when he blinked, he found himself being ejected from the door.
Huh? Lord Cat God wants to talk to the Prime Minister alone?
-
In the study, the gray cat said in shock: "Goddess of Wisdom, why are you here!"
"You didn't notice? That means my disguise is pretty good."
The prime minister spoke in a calm tone, not even slightly disturbed by being recognized.
Inbosi immediately transformed from a cat into a human. The black mist on his body dissipated, revealing the appearance of a young man. He frowned slightly and stared at the goddess of wisdom who was disguised as a human.
He had seen the Goddess of Wisdom up close twice, six thousand years ago and four thousand years ago, both were long time ago. But the characteristics of the Goddess of Wisdom were so outstanding that he was still impressed.
This guy has been missing for so many years. It turns out that he has gone to the human empire to become the prime minister? Why?
In Persia didn't understand, but thinking of the situation of the black bird of Hades, he guessed some possibilities. He heard that the goddess of wisdom was injured. It is difficult for gods to heal themselves when they are injured. They either have to wait for a very long time, or devour the power of other gods, or use humans as "food" and plunder various things like the god of light. The goddess of wisdom must not have taken the latter two methods, otherwise some news would definitely have spread.
So, He hid in the Oedipal Empire to remain invisible and wait for self-healing?
The prime minister seemed to see through Imbosi's thoughts and admitted: "As you think, I am waiting for the revival of divine power."
Inposs was surprised and asked, "With your divine power, do you also need to hide among humans under an assumed name?"
When gods are injured, they usually heal themselves in the kingdom of God, but the kingdom of God is too big and easy to be targeted, so some gods will leave the kingdom of God and hide in other places.
But the Goddess of Wisdom has so many followers, and the strength of the Kingdom of God is also in the first echelon. Why does she need to hide somewhere else and blend in among humans?
Secondly, Inbos didn't think that any god would target the goddess of wisdom at this stage.
Of course, outside of the alien world, their actions are unpredictable.
At this time, the prime minister looked calm and slowly said: "I am a little surprised."
Inbos stared at him, "What are you surprised about?"
Prime Minister: "I have been observing you for some time."
Inpos: "Oh, it seems that the 'sight' that Samkina mentioned is you."
"Did you say that?" The Prime Minister said frankly, "I didn't pay attention to you on purpose, but your information always came to me. It was hard for me not to pay attention to you. I obviously tried to avoid you, didn't I?"
In Bosi was unhappy and said coldly: "It's our problem?"
He didn't like talking to gods like the Goddess of Wisdom, and felt that this should be left to Eliog to negotiate.
He was just thinking about it, and his thoughts were conveyed in an instant, telling Eliorg what happened here.
Eliog, who was far away in the Oss Empire, frowned, looked back at Amon, set up a clone on the spot, and the real body went to Inbos.
The prime minister slowly stood up at this time, white light flowed on his body, and finally he showed the appearance of a divine body.
He was tall, silver-white, with a white dress and white hair, jade-like skin, and even his pupils were silver. His temperament was ethereal and solemn, like the white snow on the top of a mountain, beautiful and majestic, sacred and inviolable.
"The goddess of wisdom."
Eliog stepped out of the void and stared at Him, as if comparing His similarities with "Priest Xilin".
When Inbos saw Eliog appear, he immediately blocked the entire space. Even the goddess of wisdom could not escape easily.
The goddess of wisdom had an indifferent expression and said, "Don't stare at me like that. I have no ill will towards the person you cherish."
Eliorg raised an eyebrow: "You are neutral?"
The goddess of wisdom nodded: "Yes."
"Yeah."
Eliorg would certainly not ask the goddess of wisdom to prove whether she was truly neutral. It was meaningless to prove such a thing.
He asked directly, “How much do you know?”
The goddess of wisdom lowered her eyes and said in a heavy voice, "I just figured it out recently."
Eliorg: "Oh?"
"I've always felt that your origins are not normal."
The goddess of wisdom spoke softly and analyzed slowly, "After seeing that person, I figured it out."
Eliog: "This is not in keeping with your status as the goddess of wisdom. With your wisdom, shouldn't you have known this long ago?"
The goddess of wisdom raised her eyes and admitted, "I think so too, but that's the problem, I really didn't expect it."
Eliorg was puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Goddess of Wisdom: "Before your compatriot Agares left, he set up a world-class magic."
What? !
Eliorg and Inposs were both shocked. When had Agares ever done such a thing?
Goddess of Wisdom: "Should it be called cognitive blur? That world-class magic will blur the connection between you and that person, making all people or gods ignore it unconsciously."
Inbosi couldn't believe it, "Is this true?"
Agares, their second brother has so many surprises that they don't know about!
Goddess of Wisdom: "I am also shocked, but as you know, the uniqueness of cognitive magic is that it can change everyone's cognition, and at the same time, no one can detect it."
Inpos asked, "Aren't you the best at cognitive magic? How come you are also affected by cognitive magic?"
The Goddess of Wisdom said calmly, "You should ask Agares. I also want to know how He did it. Even I am controlled by Him."
Inpos choked and looked at Eliog.
Eliog knew nothing about this.
He thought Agares was just making suggestions, but he actually saw through their unreliability and arranged cognitive blurring magic in advance, so that no one or gods on the continent could detect their relationship with their father?
Agares speaks incoherently, and he is a riddle lover every day, and he can really do it.
Their second brother is powerful, but his innocence and unwillingness to speak nonsense are indeed a problem. He only restrains himself in front of his father.
Eliog thought about it and still had some confusion about Agares' "cognitive layout".
The goddess of wisdom continued, "In short, I hope you understand that I have no conflict of interest with you. I will continue to wait for the revival of divine power here, and you will continue to protect the person you cherish. How wonderful."
Up to this point, He has clearly expressed His attitude and position.
They have remained neutral from ancient times to the present. They may occasionally help intelligent creatures, but not often, and only do so on a whim.
As for why he was here, his reason was very simple, it was a good place to live, that was all. As for why he was the "Prime Minister", the answer was convenience.
However, Eliog pressed on: "You may not be irrelevant. Do you know who is behind this?"
The Goddess of Wisdom shook her head and said, "I don't know. Summoning magic was originally just summoning magic. We seven gods provided the magic ideas and theoretical guidance, and the human sages were responsible for the construction of the magic. As for who set up the 'backdoor' and polluted the magic, it is beyond my knowledge."
He also added: "Summoning magic has failed countless times and has been improved countless times. There are also many people who have participated in the construction and improvement of magic. Why don't you turn your attention to humans?"
Eliorg was silent, and asked directly: "Who do you think is most likely?"
The goddess of wisdom also remained silent, with a dull expression, and said, "It is not reasonable for me to answer you just because you ask me."
"You do know something."
There was no emotion in Eliog's tone, and his eyes were terrifyingly calm.
The Goddess of Wisdom in her prime is able to resist the God of Light and can even suppress him, but she is now injured.
There are two full-level demons on the opposite side, and they can shake out the third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother and even the eldest brother at any time. The difference in strength can be said to be very obvious.
It is impossible for the goddess of wisdom to not care.
He suddenly said, "I only know one piece of information. I can tell you, but I hope you can help me accomplish one thing."
Eliorg: "What's going on?"
"The ancient gods are reviving, including one of the most troublesome gods, the God of Destruction."
The Goddess of Wisdom said, "You should also know how powerful He is. I hope you can destroy His revival."
"We are not interested in helping you solve the problem of salvation."
Eliog showed no interest.
"But this matter is related to the brave Justin."
The goddess of wisdom looked at Eliog, her silver eyes like gems, glowing slightly.
Eliorg was a little surprised to hear Justin's name and asked, "What happened to him by the God of Destruction?"
"Perhaps."
"You want us to take action even though your information is so ambiguous?"
"You need to investigate the details."
The goddess of wisdom seemed helpless, "As you can see, I have many enemies and need to hide my identity, so it is not convenient for me to go out."
Inpos said, "I thought the other heroes were killed."
"I want to kill you, but I may not succeed. A hero is not that easy to kill."
There is something in the myth of the wise woman, directly admitting that the mastermind behind the plot is to kill the hero.
Eliorg stared at Him, "Don't forget, you are also on the suspect list of the mastermind."
The goddess of wisdom suddenly laughed, "If I were the mastermind behind this, you would never grow up."
His expression was indifferent, and his eyes revealed God's arrogance and majesty.
All gods know that the Goddess of Wisdom appears indifferent on the surface, but her divinity has a rather conceited side.
This is why Eliorger ruled out "Him" as a suspect.
The Goddess of Wisdom can definitely do things more perfectly.
"Well, whatever you want."
Eliog accepted the proposal.
"We will consider what you said. After all, it concerns a hero. But if it is false information, you know the consequences."
The Goddess of Wisdom said seriously: "I hope you will consider it carefully."
Eliog stared at every expression of the Goddess of Wisdom. Perhaps he could use magic to threaten and monitor the Goddess of Wisdom's next actions, but he disdainful to do so.
"I will confirm the truth about the God of Destruction. As for you, don't even think about running away."
The goddess of wisdom was indifferent: "How could that be? I can't run far now, and I'm not stupid enough to go against you."
This statement may sound like a wise man who knows the current situation, but it is indeed a correct judgment. He was injured and couldn't run far, and he had to offend the most evil force on the continent. If it were you, would you do it?
Eliog was silent, and the Goddess of Wisdom turned around and transformed back into the appearance of a "Prime Minister", even putting on her glasses in a very formal manner. No matter who saw it, He was just an ordinary prime minister who worked actively.
-
A few minutes later, somewhere on a rockery.
"Eriorg, so what? What are we going to do with Him?"
Inbosi was almost dizzy from all the talk and was thinking of beating up the Goddess of Wisdom and forcing her to reveal all the information, but Eliog had some reservations.
Eliorg concluded: "The suspicion that he is the mastermind is very small. Tracking down the murderer is one thing, but we can't just attack him without any evidence. And the things he mentioned do need attention."
Inpos: “So…”
Eliorg turned around and said, "You keep an eye on Amon. I'll go check out the situation of the Kingdom of Destruction."
Inpos paused, then honestly admitted, "Well... I can't beat Amon. He is extremely cunning, and his power is very abstract. I'm worried that he can trick me."
Unlike Eliog, since Persia is not good at fighting, Eliog has the power of [War], so even though he is only ranked 15th, he can fight on equal terms with many of his compatriots.
As we all know, Eliog's nickname is fifty-fifty.
Eliorg smiled and said, "I have leverage over him. If he does anything, you can repeat your threat to your father."
"What is it?"
Inposs took the memory ball from Eliorger and immediately widened his eyes in disbelief, saying, "You can even get this!"
"He was not paying attention," Eliog said calmly, "He didn't expect his father to come back suddenly."
However, Eliog was still worried about Imbosi.
Inpos and Buyer have too many criminal records. Compared to Buyer, Inpos is relatively calm, although only slightly.
He wanted to wake up Vashago, but everyone knew Vashago's bad temper when waking up, and there was a chance that Vashago might fall asleep in the middle of the night, which made him unreliable.
After thinking it over, Eliog grabbed a little white bird from the void.
Although this little god of light is silly and not even half a year old, he is sensitive to some things.
Maybe it will be useful.
Eliorg ordered the little white bird: "Go over and help watch the demon."
The little white bird nodded and flew to Inposs's shoulder, with a kind of confidence that "I will definitely be of use!"
Eliog snorted, then grabbed the little black bird from the void.
Unlike the amnesiac God of Light, the God of Hades has memories and remembers a lot of things between gods, so he can be useful.
Eliorg stared into the little black bird's eyes and asked directly, "Do you know what I want you to do?"
The little black bird used its wings to make a gesture of mission accomplishment and said solemnly, "I understand, Brother Fifteen!"
What the hell is Brother Fifteen?
Eliog's face darkened, but the little black bird, not at all afraid of strangers, immediately flew to his side.
The little black bird was overjoyed: "Leave Brother Fifteen to me!"
Eliorg's eyes went dark.
And Inbosi was a little worried, "He's with my father."
Eliorg thought: "Although Buyer is naive, he will not act recklessly when it comes to his father's safety. He will protect his father."
Inpos was still worried, "His character..."
"If there really is a big enemy, with Buyer's loudmouthed personality, he'll probably call me big brother faster than anyone else."
Eliog was right.
Yin Bosi thought so too. Their positions had been given to Big Brother, which meant that Big Brother could reach them with just a thought.
It only takes a moment, and it will always be in time. There are not many gods and demons on the continent who can defeat Buyer, and my father has so many super magics, which can be called a copper wall and iron wall, which is more indestructible than the headquarters of the human alliance on the continent. It is safe.
Eliog seemed to have other ideas about this, but he didn't say them clearly.
"Let's do this for now, and split up."
"good."
-
A few seconds later.
Inbosi went to the Museum of History and observed Amon's situation from afar through the bookshelves.
The little white bird landed on His head and stared at Him with wide eyes.
I haven’t seen Amon in Persia for a long time, and I always thought he was a troublesome compatriot, but now I see him, he seems okay?
In the picture, Amon is excitedly directing the historian, as if he is the leader of the history research team.
The real team leader Helen was drinking tea on the side. No one knew what she was thinking and she smiled from time to time.
In Persia felt that this scene was inexplicable... indescribable, but it was also a good thing that it could speed up the rewriting of history, so that they would not have to hide it from their father.
Inpos didn't know that when He just turned around with relief, Amon glanced at Him out of the corner of his eye, as if to confirm whether Eliog was there.
Because Persia was unaware, the little white bird on his head tilted its head and looked at Amon curiously.
Amon caught a glimpse of the little white bird out of the corner of his eye, his pupils trembled immediately, and he clenched his fists.
Damn it, when did I get another brother!
Amon took a closer look and found that it was the God of Light. He was shocked, but his eyes suddenly became deep, as if he had thought of something. He said silently: "Even the God of Light... is that true?"
-
Meanwhile, the Oedipal Empire.
At the front desk of the bookstore, the great magician Milad paid a solemn visit.
"Are you asking if my gray cat is here? Wait a minute."
Hughes returned to the back room, looked around the room, and found the gray cat sleeping soundly on the bed.
He then covered the gray cat with a blanket, then turned back to the front desk and answered Milad, "He's at home, but he's sleeping. If you want to see him, you can come back next time. It's not easy for children to sleep, so don't wake him up."
His parental attitude frightened Milad.
Milad had sensed since the competition that Mr. Isius treated his cat more like a child than a pet.
“I see.”
Milad felt very sorry and looked at Hughes, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
He came for the gray cat on the surface, but his real purpose seemed to be Zeus.
Of course, it wasn't a bad idea. Milad just wanted to get to know the student of Grand Master Matros.
Hughes asked, "What's wrong?"
Milad asked curiously, "It is said that you are a student of Master Matros."
"It's true."
Hughes nodded, but did not say that he had never met Matros and still did not know why Matros accepted him as a student.
All the magicians in the city wanted to find Matros, and he wanted to find him too. And there were rumors that it was Matros who wiped out the Jupis clan.
It sounds like it has something to do with me.
Sometimes, Hughes always felt that he had overlooked something, something crucial. But when he thought about it carefully, he felt that it was nothing special.
At this moment, the little puppet meowed in time, then rushed to the table and threw itself into Hughes' arms.
He does this every day.
But Milad had never seen one before, so he was inevitably a little surprised and couldn't help asking, "Mr. Isius, where did you get these cats from?"
"Secret."
Xius smiled.
"Is it a secret?"
Milad was too embarrassed to ask more questions. After thinking for a while, he could only solemnly express his friendship again, "Mr. Isius, in short, we welcome you to the Oedipus Empire. As you can see, we are relatively peaceful here, the game of major forces is balanced, there are not many major diplomatic issues, and it is relatively livable."
Hughes: “It is indeed more livable.”
Livability is actually an important topic. There are so many human countries on the mainland, but only a few of them can be truly livable.
Among the dozen or so countries in the Western Continent, ten of them are frequently invaded by the Kingdom of God. After several wars of peace, the people are either missing parts physically or mentally, which makes it difficult to evaluate them.
The Oedipus Empire was also invaded by the Kingdom of God, but it was repelled by its own strength without the help of the alliance. This shows the value of the title "Great Empire".
Milad was somewhat proud of this and smiled, "Our country ranks relatively high, and public security is relatively safe compared to other countries."
Zeus nodded. He remembered that the ranking of the Oedipus Empire seemed to be the eighth on the continent, which was more than one level higher than the Oss Empire.
At this point, Milad chatted: "By the way, do you know about the ranking incident a few days ago?"
Xius nodded: "I know a little."
Milad said: "Normally, there should be a national ranking every year, but this year the ranking god ran away. I wonder if the Hammurabi Empire has found him."
"Yeah."
Hughes didn't care much about the ranking of countries. To him, all countries were similar, except for the degree of livability.
"The Great Empire of Hammurabi may be a little anxious."
Milad was moved and his face looked a little heavy.
Hughes asked curiously, "Why?"
"They are chasing the God of Rankings in order to find the No. 1 human being and save their country from danger."
"Isn't Hammurabi's Empire the most powerful country on the continent? Is there any crisis that they can't solve?"
"Mr. Isius may not know that three years ago, an ancient god revived. He has a grudge against the Hammurabi Empire. The day he truly awakens will definitely bring destruction."
Milad's tone was complicated, and he was extremely wary of the ancient god he mentioned.
Hughes: "The most powerful human nation on the continent is also afraid of that god."
Milad lowered his eyes and frowned, "That ancient god is the god of destruction."
Xius's expression also changed, and he said seriously: "It turned out to be Him."
The God of Destruction, the ultimate existence of the first echelon, is considered to be the strongest conceptual god. According to historical records, He was destroyed by the joint crusade of the Human Empire and the brave. Who would have thought that He would be resurrected today?
Wait, He wasn't completely destroyed?
Then, Milad analyzed the pros and cons and said, "If He revives, not only the Hammurabi Empire, but all of humanity will be in crisis. The Hammurabi Empire ranked humans first in order to unite powerful forces to fight the enemy together."
"I see."
Xius thought about it, and suddenly asked, "Is He currently in the subspace?"
"yes."
Milad nodded, "His Kingdom of Destruction is located right above the Great Empire of Hammurabi. It could crush it at any time, start a war against the strongest human nation on the continent, or even destroy the entire country."
"That's too dangerous."
Xiu Sidu shook his head.
"Yes, but it cannot be solved. The ultimate existence is not so easy to defeat. Among our current humans, only the second-ranked one has this level of strength."
"The top ranked player should have this ability, but the problem is that I can't find it..."
There was a hint of regret in Milad's eyes.
"It sounds like it's going to be a tough battle."
"Yes. However, humans are no longer what they used to be. We should be able to defeat the enemies we defeated before."
Xiu Si lowered his eyes, his eyes turned cold, and suddenly said: "Before, it was because of the brave men."
Milad paused. He didn't expect Isius to bring up the topic of heroes. After thinking for a while, he said, "Mr. Isius is right. The past was the past, and the present is the present. Humanity has lost even the last hero, and can only rely on the strength of local humans."
When the Os Empire was in danger, many people watched Brave Roger die without helping him, and thought that the old man should retire. However, they began to feel uneasy only after Brave Roger really disappeared.
In the past one or two thousand years, Roger has not appeared in every major event, but he is undoubtedly a spiritual totem of "human victory."
There is obviously a gap between having and not having.
At this point, Milad couldn't help but mention, "Fortunately, the Alliance has started looking for heroes again. I hope they can find one."
"Didn't you try to find it carefully before?"
The tone of Hughes's voice suddenly turned cold.
Milad paused, looked up, and actually felt a creepy majesty from the young man opposite him.
"us……"
"You have to stand up on your own. The hero is an outsider after all."
"But I didn't expect that humans would rely so much on heroes. Even after the heroes disappeared, they didn't actively explore."
The gentle young man's eyes darkened and his face was gloomy. It was clear that he did not release any magic power. However, Milad shuddered and felt deeply ashamed. His mouth opened before he could think of anything.
"Mr. Isius is right! The Alliance really hasn't done a good job in this regard. It is said that they were very active in the search back then, but after thousands of years, some people had to give up and prepare for the worst."
Milad explained nervously.
“Not just that.”
It was unknown what else Zeus was thinking of. His eyes changed slightly and slowly turned back into the gentle young man just now.
He smiled at Milad and said, "It's about time. See you next time, Teacher Milad."
Milad nodded nervously, and even he didn't react. When he came to his senses, he found that he had already left the bookstore.
Besides, it was already dark, and when I turned around, all the vendors who worked from nine to five were gone.
"this……"
Should I say it’s worthy of winter?
Milad returned to the Magic Association and reflected deeply for a long time. Suddenly he said seriously: "Yes, I will be one more member of the Alliance's hero search team!"
-
The other party.
It was half past six and night was falling.
The little puppet on the table looked up and blinked its green eyes, vaguely feeling that its father was a little angry.
This is a very rare thing.
It was not directed at Milad himself, but Milad's unconscious words touched upon Hughes' minefield.
To be honest, Hughes is a gentle person, and has been recognized for his good temper since he was a child, but he is not so magnanimous that he doesn't care about anything.
He doesn't care about his own affairs, but he cares a lot about his friends' affairs.
Although it was a topic mentioned unintentionally, Zeus would still feel some waves in his heart regarding certain thoughts and behaviors of certain humans.
In particular, he later learned that there were actually some people who hoped that the era of heroes would pass quickly and usher in the so-called history belonging to the native humans.
Just listening to it makes my fist hard.
Just then, a "meow" broke the silence.
Xiu Si paused, lowered his eyes to meet the little puppet's green eyes, and said, "Did I scare you?"
As he said this, he touched the little doll's head, as if to comfort it.
“Meow!”
The little puppet rolled over.
"You said you don't care? Haha, it's okay, I will pay attention next time."
Xius nodded, his eyes filled with nostalgia.
In his opinion, as an adult, no matter what happens, he should not easily show emotions in front of children.
Adults are role models for children and must control their emotions. If adults are angry, children will be scared.
When he fell into the abyss alone and faced so many terrifying creatures, wasn't he panicked? Wasn't he afraid? Didn't he have any emotions?
Of course not. He was so scared that he couldn't sleep day or night. He had to be alert to his surroundings and be careful to guard against all kinds of dangers.
But he had to appear calm in front of the children and tell them that it was no big deal, that he had just fallen into the abyss, and that he could return to the earth with some effort.
An adult is supposed to be strong and reliable, even if he has no strength or is not even as high-ranking as his own children, he must appear calm and composed.
Whether in front of children or in front of young heroes.
Is this a forced act? I guess so. Hughes himself admitted that he was gentle, calm, and emotionless. He was so pretending that he believed it. Although he had this kind of personality before, it was not as distinct as it is now.
It also has to be "distinct".
Perhaps all powerful beliefs are essentially a form of self-deception.
Deceiving yourself that you can become a certain kind of person.
Cheating yourself into thinking you can do something.
If you don't succeed, you will die.
Zeus thought that, in a sense, his mental strength was slowly honed in this process of "holding on", from being too terrified to move when facing the abyss troll, to not flinching even when looking directly at it, and finally to being calm and composed and daring to entrust dangerous tasks to the children.
The human heart is always tempered. The physical strength is already weak enough, how can the mentality be weaker? There must be a strong part, otherwise there is no way to survive, whether in the original world or in this different world.
In the original world, Xiusi lived to his twenties by supporting himself, and never asked anyone for help, not even his parents. How could he be immature?
In his understanding and experience, adults should be reliable and never make children worry.
However, something happened to him, causing children to live in fear for thousands of years.
This really shouldn't happen.
"I was really worried about you. Fortunately, you are all fine, but you are just surviving somewhere I don't know."
Hughes touched the little doll's ears, his eyes full of relief.
“Meow!”
The little doll rubbed against the palm of its father's hand. It looked so soft and cute, just like a rag doll.
Then, perhaps out of excitement, the little puppet suddenly spoke in human language with its cat's mouth. The girl's voice said, "Dad meow, I'm not a weak meow. Dad is the strongest meow in the world. Dad is the greatest meow in the world! I love Dad so much, meow!"
Xius was stunned for a moment, then he laughed. After a few seconds, he realized that his child could speak.
Looking closely, the level has increased by ten levels.
Hughes patted the little puppet's head and praised, "That's amazing."
The little puppet puffed up his cheeks, danced with his hands and said, "Father is awesome! Father is the most awesome! Who can be as awesome as father?"
"I know, I know."
Hughes was smiling, but suddenly he realized something and looked at the little doll in disbelief.
Hey, wait, it increased by ten levels in an instant? !
What's going on?
