The next few days were calm and tranquil. Whether it was the high and mighty gods or the armies of the two countries in the human world, they had no intention of fighting.
But everyone knew that a fierce battle was inevitable. As the saying went, there would be a short calm before the storm. This was the situation now.
On this day, a special guest came to the temple of the God of Knights in Thunder Light City, the capital of the Duchy of Thunder.
The invisible jellyfish wobbled to the hall where the statue of the God of Knights was enshrined. Because almost all the forces of the church had gone to support the Kingdom of Eagle, and it was not the time for prayer, there were very few people here. Only two trainee priests were cleaning the yard outside. There was no one in the hall.
Sui Xiong stopped in front of the statue and said with a voice that only the gods could hear, "God of Knights, brother Astoril, are you home?"
The statue did not respond.
He was not in a hurry and said with a smile, "Don't pretend to be dead. I know you must be at home! Even if you can't send your doppelgänger down, you can send a thought to chat with me. "
The statue still did not respond.
"You see, I came all the way here to see you. It's very sincere. You are a knight who pays attention to virtue. Is it virtuous to turn away a guest from afar? "
There was a divine light on the statue that mortals could not see. A thought appeared out of thin air and sighed deeply, "Void Mask, I don't think there is anything to talk about with you."
Because it was a thought, he spoke very smoothly this time without any sense of dryness.
Seeing that the God of Knights had finally appeared, Sui Xiong laughed even more happily, "You can't say that. There is no harm in talking more between people, right? When I went to visit the Orc Gods, I happened to see you greeting them. I was very curious at that time, so today I specially came to ask — what did you talk about with Lefon? "
The God of Knights was silent for a moment and replied, "It has nothing to do with you."
"How can it have nothing to do with me? I also went for peace."
The God of Knights' voice was a little surprised, "Peace? Are you also going for peace? "
"Of course!" Sui Xiong, who had finally found a common topic, raised his eyebrows, "I also went to persuade Lefon not to fight. The world is big enough for humans and Orcs to live together. There's no need for everyone to fight to the death! "
The God of Knights was silent for a while and said, "In fact, the war itself is not a problem. We just need to control the scale of the war and avoid the massacre after the war."
"That's right. Although Lefon and the others aren't massacring, they're still trying to exterminate the humans in the occupied areas!"
"… Not extinct, but mutated. Moreover, they've become the weakest type of half-beastmen." The God of Knights' voice was full of anger. "They want to enslave us forever!"
Sui Xiong had never thought about this. He was shocked and nodded repeatedly. "You're right! This method was too unkind! Even if they wanted to mix their blood, they should find tigers and lions. What was the use of mixing a bunch of rabbits? Rabbits were good at fighting, right? Or was he good at magic? They're not even good at farming! "
Now that the two of them had something in common, they naturally had more topics to talk about. Under Sui Xiong's deliberate guidance, the topics changed a few times, involving a lot of things that he had always been interested in, but had never been clear about.
As a real senior among the gods, the God of Knights was born in the Barbarian Era. It was an era when humans and Orcs had just been born. The wild beasts were still raging on the earth. The Goddess of Life still lived in the Ancient Forest with the Golden Race (High Elves) that she had created. Of course, the Ancient Forest was not called that at that time. The ancient gods often fought in the void. The four great Divine Powers of Order, Chaos, Good, and Evil were still alive. Most of the gods that Sui Xiong knew and knew were not even born.
From then until now, the God of Knights had gone through a long period of time that would drive historians crazy. He had experienced countless events. It was no exaggeration to say that he was a living dictionary among the gods. He was a living epic. Sui Xiong curiously asked him about the ancient things. Although he had to recall a lot of things before he could answer, he answered in detail every time, which made Sui Xiong very satisfied.
Strictly speaking, these were all gossip topics, which had no meaning in reality. But Sui Xiong liked this kind of topic, and … looking at the God of Knights, he probably liked to talk about this kind of topic too.
"It's strange. Why don't you talk to people more often about the things you know?" Sui Xiong asked curiously. "The frog in the Ancient Elven Temple in the Ancient Forest was respected as a sage. How can you know more than that frog? Why don't you also get the title of 'Ancient Sage God?'"
"Sage … hehe …" The God of Knights smiled with some nostalgia. "There was a time when I was very keen on being a sage. At that time, I also liked to become a mortal and wander around the Main Plane, looking for young people with outstanding talent and strong will, teaching them, and watching them grow … "
"What the hell! You even played the role of a Great Sage! But thinking about it, with your age and experience, it is proper to be a Great Sage. There is no problem at all … "
The God of Knights liked Sui Xiong's words very much. He smiled again and said, "Among my students, the most outstanding one is probably …"
He suddenly stopped, was silent for a while, and sighed deeply.
"Hey! Old man, why are you suddenly mute? It's very annoying to say things half-way! "
"It's nothing. It's all in the past that is not worth mentioning." The God of Knights sighed and said, "It's been so long, it's not interesting."
"How is it not interesting? Who is the student you are most proud of? Tell me! "Sui Xiong said anxiously." Don't say things half-way! "
"My two students are very powerful. When their names are mentioned, they can feel it. They don't like people talking behind their backs. It will make them unhappy for no reason. "
Sui Xiong curled his lips and spread his soul force field, covering everything around him.
"There is no problem now. This place is completely blocked. No matter what you say, no one will know."
The God of Knights was silent for a while and said, "The connection between my body and this place is also cut off. It's really incredible …"
Sui Xiong shouted, "Hey! I spent a lot of effort to block this area just to listen to your story, not to hear you sigh! "
The God of Knights smiled and said, "Since you are so curious and quite capable, I will tell you about it. I have changed many identities and taught many students. Among them, the most talented is Yorgaardman, and the most capable is Uther. "
"Yorgaardman … Uther …" Sui Xiong said to himself. After thinking for a while, he exclaimed, "Damn! Isn't that my big brother, the God of Justice, and the Master God of the human race, the God of Light? They are all your students? "
"Yes. When I taught Yorgaardman, I incarnated as an old adventurer named Nat. When I taught Uther, I incarnated as an old knight named Tirion. Later, Uther recognized my true identity. Yorgaardman, that careless guy, probably never recognized me. "
"… Damn!" Sui Xiong felt that he had really sighed enough today. "Why don't you tell him?"
"There is no need. He has grown up very well. Although it is different from the direction I have taught him, he has also walked a very good path. As an old man who has already gone against his ideas, why should I add more pressure to him? "
"You can't say that! He should really want to see you again … "
"So what if he sees me again? There is no need, "the God of Knights said with a smile. The God of Knights said with a smile. "What's more, is it really good to let him find out that the teacher in his memory, whom he has beautified many times, is actually an old fogey whom he often criticizes?"
"Your idea is quite fashionable!"
"Fashionable? This word is interesting. I really did not expect that someone would use this to describe me. I am famous for being old-fashioned and inflexible. I am known as the old among the gods. "
"People can grow old, but the heart cannot. I think you still have a young heart. It can still be saved. "
The God of Knights laughed. After laughing for a while, he sighed faintly and said, "I am really old, inside and out, completely old … If you had not come to talk to me today, I would have even forgotten that I could still laugh."
"… You've been living too miserably! After all, you were the Master God of the human race. How did you end up like this? " Sui Xiong frowned and said, "I have also seen the previous Master God of the Orcs. Although that guy always looks weird with his head tilted, he is doing much better than you!"
"He is much younger than me. After I killed his old man, it was almost ten thousand years before he was born from his old man's corpse," the God of Knights said disdainfully. "Comparing age with me? He is still far from that! "
"… You don't have to brag. I know you are old enough. You are older than the sea and the land! Right, you said before that besides my big brother, the God of Light is also your student. So how do you evaluate your two students? "
The God of Knights thought for a while and said slowly, "Yorgaardman is a very impulsive person. He does whatever he thinks of. He is very stubborn, which is very similar to me. But he hates to follow the rules, which is very different from me. He was born too low, and I could not teach him for a long time, so his knowledge was relatively poor. He was always shouting all day long, and he was not satisfied with what he saw. He often shouted, 'This world is rotten,' 'This world is completely broken.' After he was apotheosized, it was said that he often shouted, 'I want to correct this wrong world.' He even went to find trouble with the Master of Order, wanting him to change the order of this world … "
"Yes, yes, I know all these. Later, he was beaten badly and had to rest for a long time."
"More than just badly. When I rushed to the Wheel of Order, he had already been beaten badly, just like a puddle of mud. Fortunately, the Master of Order did not really intend to kill him. He chatted with me for a while and then let me take him away. At that time, I wrapped him in an old cloak and took him away. I had to be careful not to leave a piece of meat or bone on the way … "
"… Damn! Was he beaten so badly?! "
"He probably doesn't remember it himself. Even if he remembers, he probably doesn't take it to heart. He's like this. As long as he thinks it's right, even if he has to pay a high price, no matter how badly he is beaten, he won't back down or regret it," the God of Knights said with a smile. "Among the things I taught him, this is the best!"
