"Why do I feel like you're up to something bad again?"
Airola looked at Char suspiciously.
"How could that be?"
Char shook his head seriously.
"I am a gentleman."
He reached out his hand and smoothed down the blond girl's hair that stood up due to the alertness of her sixth sense.
However, as soon as Char withdrew his hand, Airola's ahoge hair stood up again.
"Could it be that Xiao Ai's ahoge has lie-detecting properties?"
Xia tried to suppress Xiao Ai's ahoge several times but failed, so he finally gave up.
...
...
However, at the same time.
In Char's spiritual ocean, there are clear and crystal clear threads as bright as starlight, which are emanating from Char's spirit and heading towards the spiritual world where the subconscious ocean exists.
Ever since the remnants of history of the First Age came again and he awakened from the Frozen Throne, Char had not really been wasting his time during the days he stayed in the City of Snow and Wind.
For a legend whose mental power far exceeds that of ordinary people and who is even an ocean in itself, doing two things at once, or even doing everything at once, is a very easy thing.
While he seemed to be strolling around in the Elf King's Court, spending his days leisurely as if on vacation, the spiritual power differentiated by Char had been analyzing everything in the main material plane of the First Age 24 hours a day through the spiritual world and the astral world.
Mythical creatures are powerful because of their divinity and authority, but it also means that everything about them is highly bound to the world rules of the main material plane itself.
Simply analyzing the rules of the world is equivalent to analyzing the power of the gods themselves.
And corresponding to it.
As long as the authority held by them is violated, it is equivalent to—
It's blasphemy.
Looking at his own spiritual world, the stars hanging high in the spiritual sky, emitting illusory light.
The corners of Xia Ya's mouth also slowly curled up.
Each illusory star represents a divine core that he has completely analyzed and can penetrate into.
"So, which one should I start with to make Him my companion?"
Looking at the clear and illusory stars in the spiritual world, Xia fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he gently reached out his hand.
He pointed his finger at a star that was emitting bright yellow light.
"Then——"
"Let's start with her."
Xia's eyes flickered slightly.
"Even though I named myself Abundance..."
“But what you did is not even remotely worthy of the title of ‘Mother Goddess of Plenty’. ”
"Choosing such a target will reduce the psychological burden of tampering with the will of other intelligent beings."
Thinking of this, Char's mind moved slightly.
An instruction was transmitted through his first soul contract to the little ferret who was currently sleeping soundly in the soul contract space.
Since Char wanted to blaspheme and fool the gods, he wanted to corrupt them and make them his allies.
Then, of course, the assistance of the great god Yin in the field of illusion is indispensable.
After all, since ancient times, the two tags "evil combatant" and "mind control/hypnosis" have been inseparable good partners.
"Let's go, Nine-Tails!"
"Mmm, mmm~ (Master, I am a ferret, not a fox.)"
Yin turned his head and looked at his big, furry, snow-white tail again.
"Hmm~ (I don't have nine tails either, so I'm not called Nine-Tails!)"
…
The main material plane, the western continent.
The Kingdom of Lortalla.
This somewhat difficult word means "a land full of gold" in ancient Aramaic.
In fact, this small country located at the southernmost tip of the Western Continent does have a geographical environment that lives up to its name.
Most of the territory of the Kingdom of Lortala is located on extremely fertile plains.
For a long time, the Kingdom of Loltala has been envied by other countries as a region with the highest quality grain production...
The crops it produces can not only meet the daily food and clothing needs of the residents of the Kingdom of Loltala, but there is often a surplus, which they can use to trade other necessary materials with other countries through traveling caravans on the Western Continent.
Although the territory and national strength are not considered strong among the many human kingdoms in the Western Continent, let alone the ambition to dominate the Western Continent...but overall, the residents of the Kingdom of Loltala can be said to live and work in peace and contentment.
Even though they are not rich, even the most ordinary farmers can have enough food to eat, and ordinary residents can have smiles on their faces.
At least, that was the case.
until--
Nearly a hundred years ago, the king of the Kingdom of Lolthala declared his belief in a deity called the Mother Goddess of Fertility.
At the same time, the Church of Abundance it brought was designated as the state religion of the Kingdom of Loltara.
…
"Why is it that such a young girl comes here alone? Where are your parents?"
At the solemn church door, a guard lowered his head slightly and uttered some dissatisfied words.
At the same time, it also brought Rosa back to reality from her dazed trance.
The Kingdom of Loltala... was once a prosperous country where golden ears of wheat could be seen everywhere in the autumn and every citizen of the kingdom had enough food to eat.
She had heard such rumors and such past events from the elders in the village more than once.
However, since Rosa was born, she had never seen the legendary scene of the golden wheat ears covering the mountains and fields during the harvest in the Kingdom of Lortala.
No one knew what had happened to cause the kingdom, which had once been blessed with good weather, to become unpredictable overnight, with floods and droughts occurring at any time.
Even the originally fertile soil on the plains has become dry, barren and unsuitable for farming.
Since then, poverty and famine have become the main theme of the Kingdom of Loltala.
During the famine, praying to the Cult of Fertility and the great Mother Goddess of Fertility became the only way for the victims of the famine-stricken Kingdom of Lortala to survive.
only--
Even just the qualification to pray to the Mother Goddess of Fertility is not so easy to obtain.
"My father has an eye disease, so he asked me to pray to the Mother Goddess."
Rosa glanced timidly at the guard of the Church of Plenty and spoke cautiously.
"In addition, my father specifically told me to take all the remaining savings of the family."
She took out a few shiny copper coins from her bosom and placed them in the hands of the church guard.
The guard's expression improved a little when he saw the gleaming copper coin in his hand.
He glanced at Rosa, who was wearing shabby clothes and was skinny, and waved his hand: "Go in."
"The prayer room is on the left after entering the church."
"Remember, sincerity is the key to success."
"Only if you have the most sincere and devout faith in the Mother Goddess will she respond to your prayers and bless the land you cultivate with abundant blessings."
"OK."
Rosa nodded, then walked into the church carefully.
The church is dignified and magnificent.
It is obviously just a church in a small town, but it can be described as luxurious or even magnificent...
It formed a very sharp contrast with the old and cracked buildings in the town outside the Church of Plenty, and the pedestrians on the road with haggard faces and dull eyes.
Following the guard's instructions, Rosa quickly entered the prayer room.
In the prayer room, the statue of the Mother Goddess of Fertility is made of pure silver, graceful and noble.
"Be sincere." "Only when I pray with the most devout faith in the Mother Goddess will she respond to my expectations."
Looking at the graceful, dignified and beautiful statue of the goddess of abundance in front of her, Rosa recalled the guard from before and the careful instructions given to her by her father who suffered from eye disease before leaving.
She tried to calm herself down.
Then, try to let yourself believe in the god of abundance, the embodiment of earth and harvest, from the bottom of your heart.
However, every time Rosa hypnotized herself to praise the Mother Goddess of Fertility.
In her mind, she would unconsciously have a series of puzzling thoughts that she couldn't even control.
If the Mother Goddess can really bring a good harvest to this land as the teachings say...
So, why has the Kingdom of Loltala, which the old people once said was full of golden wheat ears, now become synonymous with famine and poverty?
Also, if the Mother Goddess truly loves the world and cannot bear to see the suffering and disasters in the mortal world, she has come to the mortal world to protect Her people.
So why is this church of abundance so luxurious?
Not to mention anything else...just the statue of the Mother of Fertility made of pure silver in the church of this small town, if it were cast into silver bars and sold to those traveling caravans, they would be exchanged for food.
The food obtained in exchange would be enough to feed thousands of people in the entire town and surrounding villages for several months, helping them survive this famine.
I don’t know how many lives could have been saved.
Even though he knew that the idea of burning the statue of the Mother Goddess into silver bars and selling it to the caravans was a great disrespect to the Mother Goddess of Fertility.
If such thoughts were known to the fanatics in the cult, it would be a sin enough to get oneself burned at the stake.
However, recalling the haggard and gloomy faces of the farmers along the way and her sick father at home, Rosa still couldn't help but have such thoughts in her mind.
Although my father told others that he had some kind of incurable eye disease...
However, Rosa herself knew clearly that her father did not suffer from any complicated eye disease.
It was obvious that the blindness was caused by long-term hunger.
"Hurry up, I'll give you five more minutes."
"You are not the only one who wants to pray to the Mother Goddess."
Outside the prayer room, the urging voice of the church guard made Rosa quickly collect the thoughts in her mind.
She forced herself to suppress her thoughts and empty her mind.
Then, recalling the process his father had told him, he followed the instructions in the prayer room and respectfully made the sign of the cross on his chest.
"The Great Mother of Fertility."
"You are the mother of all things, the autumn wind of the harvest month, and the embodiment of universal love."
"I beg you to bless my father's farm with good weather and good harvests, so that we don't have to sell our belongings and suffer from famine this year."
"I also pray that you will send down nectar from the sky to cure my father's eye disease and restore his sight."
Rosa repeated the prayers three times carefully, without missing a word.
Then she stood up respectfully and wanted to leave.
But, at this moment—
Rosa felt her vision suddenly become illusory.
Her consciousness became blurry.
Somewhere in the dark, there seemed to be a gentle, soft force pulling her along.
With Rosa's spirit, move towards some lofty direction.
Everything in front of her was shining brightly. Between the illusory light and shadow, Rosa seemed to see the clear and brilliant starry sky.
Infinitely far away, infinitely bright.
Gorgeous and beautiful.
The next moment.
The illusory and flickering picture gradually became clearer and more real.
She saw a red-gold field.
When the breeze blew, the whole field was covered with waves, rising and falling like the sea, and never stopping for a long time.
The rich wheat aroma accompanied by the breeze blew over her face, making Rosa feel relaxed and happy.
The scenery of the former Kingdom of Lortala, which had only existed in the descriptions of the old people in her hometown, had actually become a reality at this moment and appeared before Rosa's eyes again.
But then, Rosa's eyes suddenly moved.
Because, in the golden fields blown by the wind, Rosa saw a dignified, gentle and extremely holy girl.
There were ears of wheat growing at her feet, springs surrounding her body, and she was wearing a laurel wreath woven from laurel leaves with various flowers inserted on it.
Mother Goddess of Fertility
Rosa was shocked.
The girl in front of her, her clothes, decorations, and even her holy temperament, were exactly the same as the holy statue of the Mother of Plenty that Rosa had seen in the Church of Plenty before.
I heard from my father that... the most devout believers in the Cult of Plenty have a very small chance of receiving a response from the gods when praying, becoming the so-called apocalypse and the one favored by the gods, and from then on joining the Cult of Plenty, completely changing the trajectory of their own destiny.
In other words, I have also received the revelation to see the Mother Goddess and become a person favored by the Mother Goddess of Fertility?
But--
Rosa asked herself.
In my heart, am I really that devout to the Mother Goddess?
Just now, I was thinking about casting the statue of the Mother Goddess into silver bars and selling them to traveling merchants so that the residents of the town could have a full meal.
Rosa felt a little confused.
Moreover, when she looked closely, she also found that the beautiful girl in front of her, although her temperament and decoration were very similar to the statue of the Goddess of Plenty in the church, her appearance was still slightly different from that of the statue of the Goddess of Plenty.
Compared to the dignified and plump Mother Goddess, the girl wearing the laurel wreath in front of her looked even more immature and green.
It was as if it was the appearance of the Mother Goddess of Fertility when she was a child.
Such a thought just arose.
The next moment, Rosa's gaze completely froze.
In the field where the wind blows the wheat waves, behind the beautiful girl who looks like the goddess of abundance.
She suddenly saw another human boy.
Black hair, black eyes.
He had a peaceful smile on his face, and was slightly extending his hand to stroke the soft chestnut hair of the beautiful girl under the laurel leaf wreath.
The girl, who looked like the goddess of abundance, just obediently let him touch her head, without showing any sign of resistance on her face.
"Since I, as your father, have given you the name of the Goddess of Fertility."
"Then from now on, all you have to do is to bring a good harvest to all the living beings on this vast earth."
"Let all famine be completely eliminated from this land."
The black-haired, black-eyed human stroked the pretty girl's head and spoke softly.
"And by doing so, you can bring abundance to the earth."
His palm moved slightly.
The next moment, a bag of powdery substance was spread all over the field along with the rhythm of his fingers.
Then, the powdery substance fell down.
The wheat field, which originally seemed a little withered and barren, suddenly became lively at this moment.
In an instant, crops grew rapidly.
Then, golden and plump ears of wheat emerged.
"Remember, this thing is called fertilizer."
The words of the black-haired boy echoed in the endless golden fields and also echoed in Rosa's ears.
"certainly."
There was suddenly a barely perceptible smile in the black-haired boy's words.
"You can also call it——"
""Jin Ke La""
