Chapter 157 Trust
Moher is actually quite busy.
Although she seems to be hanging around with Duo Luo and the like all day long, she actually has a lot of things to do recently.
Among them, the most important thing. As it should be, is "burial". The idea
of establishing a kingdom of the dead in the Kingdom of Ice and Snow failed at the beginning, and she can't always keep the dead in her clay pot. Although she herself doesn't care, Duo Luo will definitely be a little concerned about it. If he suddenly asks about it one day, he will suddenly find that the dead have directly disintegrated in the clay pot and become the most basic soul power, which would be very bad.
So in fact, what she has been doing recently is preparing to "go to the real kingdom of the dead."
It is said that before the death of the Elf Queen, many powerful elves were sent to the depths of space, asking them to find the heaven and the goddess.
Moher just wanted to laugh at this. What could be found in the infinite space was not the goddess, but some strange things, such as some things that were born with her and the goddess and were exiled by them... the so-called "unknown" and so on.
The goddess' heaven is another concept, not something you can find by constantly searching in the infinite space.
But Moher would not tell others about this, because they would not understand it. The kingdom where the real dead souls are located is actually between the heaven and this world. In other words, to go to the heaven, you must pass through the world of the dead. If Moher remembered correctly, the last civilization that knew how to go to the world of the dead had disappeared for tens of thousands of years. She did not mean to tell the world how to go to that place. In this
time span, even if the queen of the elves has been iterated for eight or nine generations, it is very normal for information to be lost. Moreover, the elves were very weak at that time and had no right to access some secrets.
It just so happened that the world tree was planted.
To be fair, Moher didn't really want to go to the Land of the Dead. After all, that place was very close to the heavens, and it was easy for the goddess to notice it, especially when she knew that the goddess was watching her all the time. However, it was good that Doro broke up with the goddess. After the incident with the Elf Queen, Doro and the "Goddess" were completely disconnected. Whether it was Doro who took the initiative to disconnect or the goddess took the initiative to disconnect, in this situation, there should be no problem for me to visit the Land of the Dead.
Besides, this was also to help Doro.
Even if the goddess broke up with Doro, she shouldn't hinder such a thing. If she had to go to war with both herself and Doro at the same time, I don't know if the goddess could withstand it.
So this matter was relatively safe.
Compared with this matter, other things were just a small matter. She knew that Rose had already started to attack Doro, but she didn't care too much about the result. She thought that she should pay less attention to Doro now. After all, no matter how she thought about it, Doro had no reason to turn against her, which meant that she could rest assured.
Doro is in a "just right" state now.
He has a certain affection for her, and has left the scope of human beings, but at the same time he has not completely given up the set of principles as a human being - this is great.
It can be said to be the most perfect state. What she needs to do is to prevent others from interfering with Doro's state. Rose's little fights don't need to be taken to heart. Perhaps in a hundred years, Doro's mentality will change and he will approach her. At that time, what he will do will become unpredictable... At that time, there will be more things to be prepared for.
However, it will take at least a hundred years, right?
It will take at most two years for me to recover to my full glory. At that time, it may not be enough to spend a hundred years planning against Doro, but it should not be as bad as before. After all, Doro has come to this point, and the long years will gradually become like a prison for him.
Moher suppressed these thoughts in his heart.
Those are not the issues that should be considered at the moment.
After making similar preparations, Moher found Elf and her sister Roland, plus Doro.
"You mean, the real kingdom of the dead?"
Doro was confused when he heard Moh's words: "Didn't you say before that you wanted to build a kingdom of the dead? It seems to me that it didn't exist before... So it exists?"
"It doesn't exist in this world."
Moh said frankly: "The church's description in the Sacred Records is that the soul will return to the embrace of the goddess after death, right? In fact, that statement cannot be considered wrong. After all, in a sense, this kingdom of the dead is indeed the embrace of the goddess, it is His kindness and compassion, and pity for all living beings... But in my opinion, there is a bit of self-righteousness in it. He likes to boast about his achievements."
There is a problem here.
Doro and Elf didn't say it, but Roland asked.
"What is your relationship with God?"
"Relationship?"
Moh looked at Doro and Elf, and saw the puzzled expressions on their faces, so he understood: "I can't blame you for being confused about this kind of thing... If you have to talk about the relationship, let me think about it, the relationship between God and me... to use the term that you humans are more familiar with, is lover?"
Lover?
The three people present opened their mouths wide, all in bewilderment. They seemed to have heard the most impossible thing in the world.
Of course, Duo Luo had thought about the relationship between the Demon King and God. According to his inherent cognition, the relationship between the Demon King and God should be enemies. Even if there is some kind of cause and effect, it is at most a mother and a child, who take different paths because of different ideas, or a creator and the created, like Moher and Lisiduowei, or even brothers and sisters, born together.
But he had never thought of the answer of lovers.
"You look so surprised? This is not surprising, right? She and I are lovers. But in fact, lovers are not appropriate. I am talking about a relationship that you can understand the most. After all, it is still very different from lovers." Moher didn't mind talking about this kind of thing with these people.
She looked at Duo Luo with a smile: "Could it be that Mr. Duo Luo was jealous after hearing such a thing? I understand that as a brave man, you admire the goddess. When you hear that the goddess and I are lovers, do you feel like you are being cheated?"
"..." Duo Luo didn't know what kind of expression he should put on to respond to Moher's statement.
"Ah? What do you mean? It's me you like? Are you jealous of the goddess? This is really troubling, Mr. Doro, you're a little too greedy."
This person...
The two girls clearly wanted to know more about this issue, but Mohe didn't seem to intend to explain more: "In short, there is nothing wrong with saying that the Kingdom of the Dead is the embrace of the goddess - if the snow elves hadn't become undead, it should have been over."
"I have a question, Mohe, after the undead return to the embrace of the goddess, what then?"
"Well, this is the key point. The Kingdom of the Dead can't keep accommodating the undead and let the number of undead continue to increase, right? The goddess won't do such a meaningless thing. If so, she wouldn't shamelessly say 'return to my arms' in her revelations to her believers. In fact, the undead have the possibility of rebirth."
"Rebirth?"
Several people were stunned. They never thought they would hear such words from Mohe.
Moher looked at Duo Luo meaningfully: "Have you ever thought about a question?"
"What?"
"Why do so many people believe in the existence of the goddess? Even the stories compiled by the elves say that the mother tree of the elves is a sacred tree planted by the goddess herself - why do you believe in the mother tree of the elves instead of the goddess herself? You two are snow elves, have you ever thought about this question?"
She asked Elf and Roland, and the two were confused.
"Why... this, I haven't thought about it yet..."
"That's right, I didn't intend to let you think about it." Moher revealed one by one, "Why do you think that among the three major races, humans, who were born last, welcomed the glory of God? The White Church was born among humans, and the goddess chose you, Duo Luo, A. Godora, as a brave man to resist my rule? Why is it that only Xia Di can be a carrier to let the will of the goddess come? In the final analysis, the development of mankind to this day has a lot to do with people like you, but more importantly, isn't it the favor of the goddess?"
Yes, the problem that cannot be avoided in any way is that the current prosperity of mankind has a lot to do with the favor of the goddess... no, "preference" has a lot to do with it.
"Didn't I create humans in Buto City?"
Moher suddenly brought up this matter. In the world caused by Adeline, Doro destroyed the Sky Fortress, and most of the alchemists in it were "dead". At that time, the souls of the alchemists were put into clay jars, and then Moher recreated bodies for these people, allowing them to be resurrected, reducing the losses of the disaster to a minimum.
"Does that count as re-creation?"
Doro felt that this process was somewhat different from when Moher created Lisiduowei, and even somewhat different from when he resurrected Elf. After all, Moher himself has the ability to create souls.
That method is actually similar to Adeline's own idea. The difference is that Adeline's body is Adeline's metal body, which will be controlled by Adeline, and Moher created the same body as before.
"How can it not be considered creation? If you acknowledge that humans are a race created by the goddess, then you should acknowledge that my actions are creation. After all, my approach is the same as the goddess's."
She finally explained what she meant: "Just as I literally said - you humans were created to hold the dead... On the one hand, the world will automatically give birth to new souls. I will create some, and the goddess will also create some."
But this conclusion made Duo Luo think more: "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is that you humans are not actually original goods - well, to be precise, you are not naturally born souls, even human newborns are the same. There is an essential difference from other creatures. You are all souls that have appeared in history. Why do you think I reincarnated as a human being instead of other races? Because humans are powerful? Because there is a loophole left by the goddess here that I can exploit."
She revealed the secret of her rebirth: "Well~ This secret is indeed quite shocking, but I am actually quite curious."
She suddenly took a step closer to Duo Luo, almost sticking to him, then raised her head, looked up at him, and her eyes overlapped with his: "I'm very curious about who you were before... In the past history, I shouldn't have seen you. Life forms like you should have left a deep impression on me before they died. Although this so-called reincarnation will erase all your memories, which is equivalent to a new individual, the soul itself is so special. During this period, I recalled many people who left an impression on me in my memory, but none of them are like you. Who are you?"
Duo Luo was confused and at a loss.
It was such a peaceful day. He and Lisiduowei had just packed up the new house yesterday, but today Mohe came to him and said such things.
As for whether Mohe was lying... Duo Luo thought not.
Mohe didn't like to lie. She liked to tell you half the truth and then induce you to think in the direction she wanted - in other words, the information she revealed now was at least true.
"Well~ it doesn't matter who it is. In short, you have arrived in this realm and can tell you these things... In short, the goddess is special to humans. She originally planned to let humans replace other species and become the master of the world. She will re-clean and guide all the undead, and then become humans. In the future, humans will overlap with humans, and new souls will not have to be born. She also set a life span for you humans that is not too long - just like I was quite satisfied after turning Lisiduowei into a blood ancestor, the goddess should also be quite satisfied with your work."
The world seen from the perspective of God.
The two elves and one human present finally got a glimpse of some of the gods' views on the world in Mohe's words.
"So, basically speaking, it was the goddess's decision that humans would replace all other intelligent races. But before that, there was an obstacle like me. So you were born, Mr. Dora, and then you defeated me - I don't know how the goddess found a soul like yours, reached a realm like mine, and defeated me. In short, the world of the dead is a cemetery that is destined to dissipate, and the goddess's embrace cannot stay forever. After the world reaches 'balance', the world of the dead will disappear."
"I'm here to inform you today. Although the preparations are almost done, it will take some time. You should digest this matter first. It's your freedom to tell it or not. We will set off in three days. You should be mentally prepared. I can't say whether the goddess will descend to the world of the dead. If a fight breaks out, there is a risk of falling."
This was the real purpose of Moch calling them over.
If Moher, the goddess, and Duo Luo fight in the world of the dead, it is very likely that anyone will die. After all, they are in the same field and have the ability to kill each other.
The difference in strength between them is not so big that they can crush each other. Even if they are stronger, they still have the possibility of falling.
Moher's thoughts are very clear. The so-called psychological preparation she wants Duo Luo to do is actually to tell him "You need to figure out your position."
Whether to stand completely on her side.
She knows very well that although Duo Luo has a certain trust in her now, he definitely does not completely believe in her - give Duo Luo time to think, to think clearly about what he wants and what he wants to do, so she will reveal many secrets, so that Duo Luo can figure out what he wants before entering the world of the dead, so as to avoid Duo Luo's position being shaken after entering the world of the dead and the goddess descending.
As for the two elves, it was because the undead to be sent were originally the undead of the snow elves, so she dragged these two people together. In fact, it didn't make much difference whether she told them or not.
Duo Luo understood what Moher meant. She understood this meaning very clearly.
"I'll think about it."
Like this, they dispersed and left.
Elf did not leave Moher's room.
"Do you have anything else to say, Miss Elf?"
Elf looked at Moher: "Even if you don't tell Doro the truth, there should be many ways for him to help you deal with the goddess. If you and the goddess are equal, as long as you make him hate the goddess, can you kill the goddess together? Why do you tell him the truth like this?"
"Don't you think it's a bit redundant for a snow elf to ask this question? This has nothing to do with you snow elves, right? Is it because Doro loves you so much, so you think I will answer you?"
"I just expressed the doubts in my heart. You can answer or not." Elf was obviously not afraid of Moher, who looked a little angry.
Moher stared at Elf for a long time. She always felt that Elf was laughing: "If you want me to express my thoughts in words that you can understand, then I can tell you... Simply put, if you and Dora kill the goddess together, will Dora kill me one day?"
"No matter what, Dora was chosen by the goddess. There are many people who betrayed him, but the goddess is not among them. In fact, he was still able to use the Sword of the Brave when he fought with Xia Di before - and after the goddess came... He escaped by himself, he did not really contact the goddess. I think he is more or less guilty about the goddess? He is a little sorry for the goddess' expectations."
Moher sat on the chair and crossed his legs: "It is not difficult to deceive Dora to kill the goddess with me. I am very confident that I can succeed, but this is tantamount to making Dora "alienated". If the goddess who chose him and gave the ordinary boy the Sword of the Brave, the Armor of the Brave, and the identity of the Brave will be killed by this person who has been favored. Then, wouldn't it be more reasonable for Dora to kill someone like me?"
"After all, speaking of favors, although I have bestowed some, the feelings between people will always change, right? Even from the short history of your human race, there have been cases where friends who were once very close have become enemies, right? Life can be eternal, but relationships will always change, just like the demon king who dominates the world will be pushed off the throne. His trust in me now does not mean that he will trust me in the future. Before I make a plan to kill him, I will not let him fall into too extreme emotions, otherwise why do you think I sent Rose to the Elf Kingdom to appease his emotions?"
To be precise, the words of the demon king are all calculations and purposes.
She also did not hide her idea of wanting to kill Dora after all things were done. After all, the existence of this person is a threat to Moher, and the demon king can't stand the situation that there is always someone who can kill him. Short-term patience is necessary.
"Aren't you tired of doing this?"
"Tired?" Moher smiled. "Although you elves have a long life, you don't understand how interesting it is to have a truly eternal life. Often, the world is so boring that you just want to sleep. I don't know how the goddess got these people, but it's very interesting - this era is quite interesting. As a tool to please my lover... I like it very much, but she made the game a little difficult, so that I almost capsized... Fortunately, everything is under control now."
Everything is under her control, and there will be no problems.
Is this how God sees the world?
Elf couldn't understand.
...
"So, A.Xion! Although I will give you a room, I don't mean you have to run to our room!"
A.Xion looked puzzled: "But I am working hard?"
Of course, this is already quite hard work for A.Xion. After all, she never did housework before. As a sword master, she had no reason to do so. It was a complete waste of time. But in Moher's mansion, she inevitably became a maid, and had to accept the training of Rose, who was now a very professional maid.
Moher disliked A.Xion, so she threw A.Xion to Dora.
Lisiduowei did not object. The condition she put forward to A.Xion was to help with the housework. After all, in theory, she and Dora both had to find a job.
"Isn't it that you have to work on the master's bed?"
"But I am the teacher's disciple, warming the bed is also a way of showing filial piety, right?"
"Who taught you this?"
"Moher."
Lisiduo couldn't hold it in anymore. Although she knew that Moher always liked to make trouble, it was really bad taste for her to disgust herself in such a place. In the end, A. Sion was not an honest person at all. She lacked common sense. She would do anything that people would not find strange.
Maybe she would suddenly lose her mind and do something unbearable.
"Rose is coming to Dora to practice today. Why don't you go and watch? It's quite risky, isn't it?"
"Aren't you going to watch?"
"Me? I have to go to the market and find out the specific prices in Sim City. There will be a big difference between the prices in Baixi Town, right?"
A. Sion thought for a while: "But didn't Moh say that he could give Dora a part-time job? A sommelier or something. The salary she pays is pretty good , right? It will definitely be enough to cover your family's expenses."
"Having said that, I've seen how many couples in Baixi Town get along with each other before, just like what I said... Even if it's easy to make money, you still have to save some for the children - although we don't have children yet, humans always like to think about the future in advance. I think that's pretty good too. Like an ordinary human couple, it should be a happy thing."
"Dora and I are both humans, only you are not human. It would be better for me to be the wife and you to be the maid. In this way, you will know what it's like between human couples."
A. Sion was thrown out by Lisiduowei, and asked to watch Dora and Rose's practice.
...
"Doro?"
"Ah! Rose!"
Rose couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied: "I know you are resistant to charm, but I am also disappointed that you are completely indifferent like this..."
She had just been flirting for a long time, but Doro seemed to be thinking about something and was distracted.
"Sorry, I just thought of something. Let's continue. I will watch you carefully."
Rose came to Doro's side and said, "This is completely a lie. You look so worried. It's impossible for you to practice well, right? I heard that the Demon King asked you to come over yesterday. Did he say something to you?"
"Not that... It's just that there are some things that I think I may need to think clearly... But I will think about it slowly later. Let's practice first, right? Aren't you planning to break through my resistance?"
It seemed that he didn't want to tell her. Rose sighed: "I say, Doro, although you are thinking, I have been thinking about a problem."
"What?"
"What exactly is the so-called charm... The power that Moher gave me is actually a kind of mental control. If you have resistance to this, the effect will be very poor. However, most people do not have such resistance, and the church actually has some means of confrontation, so I transformed into a goddess to make Bai Luther have a wrong understanding. In what happened at that time, my own charm ability did not play a big role. What charmed Bai Luther himself was his mistaken identity as a goddess."
Dora was a little confused. Although he could understand what the girl meant, why did she say this?
"So, Doro, I'm actually thinking that maybe it's not the enchantment that fascinates people, but the person himself. The essence of the so-called enchantment is to make people see what they want to see most in their hearts and see the scene they want to see most. This may be Moher's conception of a creature like me. I can't seduce you because I can't read your will, and I can't judge what you want."
Her appearance began to change. The sacred and elegant Xia Di, the cold and gentle Li Siduowei, the petite and cute Adeline, the mysterious and profound Moher, the energetic and sexy Elf, the calm and innocent A. Sion...
One after another, the faces of women appeared in front of Doro, and the enchantment perfectly reproduced the appearance, demeanor, and movements of these people.
Doro just watched these changes.
Finally, Rose changed back to her own appearance: "So, Doro, who do you want to see the most? Who attracts you the most? Do you have the answer yourself?"
"I... don't."
"That's the problem. You have already married Miss Lisi Dove, but even after becoming Miss Lisi Dove, in my perception, your soul is as calm as ever - you have already blocked your heart, right?" Blocked your heart
?
"You still have all kinds of feelings, but you don't trust women. You said you would manage your relationship with Lisiduowei, but in fact, you dare not trust girls more. Because you are afraid of being betrayed again, because you are afraid of experiencing such spiritual pain again. In this respect, you are a coward."
Her eyes at this time are like Moher's.
Eyes that can see everything. As if looking directly into people's hearts.
"It's very difficult to trust others. Instead of trusting others, it's better to trust yourself. I can do everything by myself. I don't need to trust anyone - I think this is the best state, but I can't achieve this state. Moher's state is my ideal state."
Doro did not deny Rose's words: "I must admit that I can't completely let go of what happened in the past. I retaliated and punished them, but... People always have to learn lessons and grow up, just like when you were a child, your parents taught you not to eat before everyone else started eating, that was not polite or something... There is actually no difference, right? It's called inner scars, but in fact it's because you feel pain, so you understand the risks of doing so."
He said his thoughts: "Before doing business, you have to consider what to do if you lose money, instead of just thinking about making money in your mind. In fact, making money is only a minority of cases, right? Similarly, before trusting others, you should think about the consequences of being betrayed by others and see if you can bear the betrayal. Just like every time before I believe Moher's proposal, I will think about what I should do if Moher is lying to me? What can I do? This kind of thinking, I think, is a manifestation of growth."
"In the past, I always wanted to think positively about things. I believed that everyone must be kind. They may make mistakes for a while, but if they are given love and warmth, they will eventually turn over a new leaf - but that's not really the case, right? A mature man can be called mature because he can handle all kinds of things, right? If you just firmly believe that things will develop in a good way... it's hard to handle things with such naive ideas, right? Before you do anything, you should consider the consequences and be prepared to bear them."
Rose listened to Dora patiently, and she just hugged Dora: "This sounds very selfish, Dora, it's like you're afraid of getting hurt, so you wrap your heart heavily in armor. Block out everything from the outside world, and then say complacently, 'I knew it would be like this anyway', pretending that you won't be hurt, and maintaining your dignity. This is actually very embarrassing."
"It's better to be embarrassed than to be hurt."
Dora didn't say that he would push Rose away, he just expressed his thoughts.
"So, are you going to do the same this time?"
"Did Moher say anything to you?"
"She wouldn't be so leisurely. If she had let me know, she would have called me to join her yesterday. I think she should be doing something, but it's a difficult decision for you, so you're so absent-minded."
"You really understand me."
Rose blinked: "I think, besides me, the only ones who understand you so well are the Demon King and Nore. Anyway, we have similarities. Compared to Lisiduowei and the others, I can empathize with you more. So, if there are some things that are inconvenient to say, you can tell me."
"If you don't want to tell me, it doesn't matter-since you are in a bad mood, as someone who admires you or as a friend, I naturally have to find a way to cheer you up."
"What?"
"Let's make a list!"
she suddenly proposed.
Doro was puzzled: "What list?"
"The Moher Mansion Beauty List!"
"Ah?"
Rose was still holding Doro, her eyes full of "I have bad thoughts now."
"What do you mean?"
"You know that as a charmer, in addition to being able to change my appearance into that of another person, I can also change my body - the prerequisite is that I need at least one hair as a sample... I can become exactly the same as that person. Not just the appearance, but also the inside."
What does she mean by "the inside as well"?
"That is to say, the house type is also~"
"......?!!!!!!!"
Duo Luo suddenly realized what she was talking about. He stared at Rose with wide eyes: "You, what are you talking about?"
"I suspect that the Demon King thought of this kind of play when he created me... Anyway, we have already had sex, right?" Rose's cheeks were red. She was obviously ashamed to say such things, but she always held Duo Luo tightly, "These days I have collected hair from various women in the mansion~ Including a hair from Lord Moher, I got a piece of it, although I don't know if she knows it. After all, theoretically speaking, hair is a good material for curses."
There was a terrible temptation in her tone: "I can turn into all the girls in the mansion, and let you play with them all... Then according to your feel and feelings when playing, how about making a ranking list?"
This is too exaggerated.
No, this is too messy.
Doing this kind of thing will be judged!
Even a brave man like Duo Luo, who has seen the world, was shocked when he heard Rose's suggestion.
He didn't even care about what he was thinking about just now about Moch. He was shocked by the other party's idea: "This, this is not possible! Rose, your idea is very dangerous!"
"Huh? Why do you say that? Although my appearance has changed, I am still me, right? What are you worried about, Dora, Lisiduowei doesn't seem to care about my existence... She didn't say anything about what happened before, right? So, your worry..."
It was that familiar look again, just like the look in Moch's eyes every time he teased her, but Rose was a little different. She was much more serious than Moch: "You have some bad ideas about some of them, so you are afraid of exposing your ugliness when doing that to me?"
"I... don't..."
"Eh~ Really not? I can accept it~ No matter who you want to do to whom, no matter what excessive play you want to do, I can accept it~ I will accommodate everything you want, Dora." Her tone was so gentle, "Now, let's go... find a hotel and get a room, how about it?"
Dora swallowed his saliva when he was about to say something.
"I don't agree!"
A.Xion appeared here: "I heard that you were practicing. Is this also called practicing? Huh? Rose?"
"Ah~ So it's my respected Sword Saint teacher... Teacher, what are you doing here? I am indeed practicing~ After all, I am the Demon of Charm, and the content of practice is of course to seduce others. I was almost successful just now. At least, Dora is already excited..."
She glanced down, and then looked at A.Xion with dissatisfaction: "You come here at this time just to ruin my business!"
"I don't care, I won't let you succeed anyway! Besides, you want to practice, right? Come on, fight me one-on-one, if you beat me, then we can talk about all these things."
A.Xion did look a little angry, and she seemed like she was going to draw her sword in the next second.
Rose couldn't help but sigh: "Why do you women always do stupid things... I didn't even tell you to refer to Miss Lisiduowei's successful experience - can you at least consider the problem from Duo Luo's perspective? There is a woman who belongs to him and he can play with her at will. It's obvious that something good is going to happen, but suddenly another woman jumps out and says no... And this woman is always reserved... It's hard to have a good impression of her, right?"
She finally let go of Duo Luo, and then walked in front of A.Xion with an elegant step, holding A.Xion's hand on the sword at his waist, and then pulled out the sword.
Put it on her own neck.
"You can do this~ Just like killing me at the beginning, as your disciple, you think I am a very shameful existence, right? It's not the first time you have cleaned up the house. Just chop it down with a sword like this. My strength is not enough to resist. Do you want to do this?" Her
face was full of fooling and ridicule.
