Although Jeros and Stephanie hadn't seen this unforgettable and beautiful girl when they arrived at the Golden Kingdom more than ten years ago, they didn't doubt her.
However, he didn't doubt Elvin's judgment in the slightest. His expression turned serious, and he was about to bow with him.
However, the "goddess" standing in the palm of the giant spirit moved her feet lightly and dodged like a frightened deer. She stuck out the tip of her pink tongue cutely and explained to the three puzzled people, "Don't misunderstand.
I'm not a goddess at this moment. I'm just a servant serving the great goddess, Venia. I was only able to dispel the sea of clouds by borrowing a tiny bit of the goddess' authority. It's not my power. "
Then.
She then turned to Elvin and glanced at him from head to toe. She then greeted him in a familiar manner.
"Mr. Garriott, long time no see. I didn't expect you to become a Fourth Order in less than ten years. Oh, you're also a saint of a true god. It's really impressive. "
Jeros and his wife didn't know what was going on, but Elvin immediately reacted, and his body relaxed a lot. He gracefully bowed to her with an impeccable gentleman's salute with a smile on his face.
"Miss Venia, how have you been? It's nice to see you again. "
Back then, in the Water City of Niske in the Kingdom of Tylon, they had a very "accidental" encounter.
If the small interlude at the end was excluded, the first half of the exchange between the two could be said to be very pleasant. Elvin even kept the painting that the other party had given him at the time.
However, it was also during that last interlude that he used "Spiritual Vision" for the first time in his life and recklessly looked directly at the "Mythical Form" of a demigod.
Although he almost lost control, it also gave him insight into the life essence of the beautiful girl with a unique temperament hidden under the appearance of the Nimansterian.
A "medium" with excellent aptitude and the great "tenant" in her body.
In the material world, some people were very talented in spirituality. Although they might not have the aptitude of a wizard, they were born as "mediums." Although an untrained spirit medium wasn't considered a Transcendent profession, it was very easy for such a person to be pestered by spirit bodies due to their special physique.
However, this Miss Venia's luck was off the charts. She immediately attracted the biggest one, becoming the perfect "host" for the demigod Sky Goddess Kulutana to tour the various countries of the Old Continent.
At that time, Elvin still felt that it was a pity for this cute lady who was just an ordinary person. He didn't know what would happen to her soul after being possessed by a god.
After all, whether it was out of malice or kindness, every action of a great existence like the gods would inadvertently bring disaster to mortals.
But by the looks of it, not only was there no problem with this spirit medium, she had also rapidly grown into a powerful superhuman. For the time being, it was hard to say whether it was a spiritualist, a cleric, or a magic-type Extraordinaire related to the wind element.
In addition, from her expression, one could tell that although the Sky Goddess had possessed Venia's body, she had acted as a calm bystander most of the time. Her body was still dominated by the girl's consciousness.
In short, the two of them had some ties after all.
Standing in the spirit's palm, Venia returned the same elegant salute to Elvin as though they weren't in the Storm Belt at the end of the world where danger lurked everywhere, but at a palace ball.
"Perhaps you didn't notice, but in fact, you have already arrived at the periphery of the Golden Kingdom. Under normal circumstances, adventurers would be guided by the Golden Compass to the safe entrance in the east, and not the extremely dangerous Storm Belt.
Her Majesty Ocean Goddess Thetis only sensed that a Blue Hole that wasn't part of the plan had appeared nearby, but she didn't expect it to be you. "
After the girl said that, she tilted her ear to listen to the breeze beside her for a while before continuing, "Today is a great day.
To be able to meet a few old friends at her doorstep, she invites all of you to be a guest in the Golden Kingdom. She will personally receive all of you. "
At this moment, the danger at sea had passed, and the Golden Compass in their hands had returned to normal. It was firmly pointing in the northeast direction.
If they wanted to go to the Golden Kingdom, they could only use the Golden Compass given by the Ocean Goddess Thetis. Otherwise, even if they had the Secret Treasure of the Sea, Ancient Scroll, they wouldn't be able to find any traces of the place.
"It's our honor."
Of course, they wouldn't reject the invitation of the Sky Goddess. The Golden Kingdom was on their return itinerary.
"Great, let's go now."
Venia waved her hand gently.
Bang!
The water current surged violently, and a huge whirlpool rapidly formed beneath the Theseus. Before they could react, everyone had already fallen, and Venia, who was controlling the giant spirit, followed closely behind.
When they resurfaced, they had already entered another body of water. Under Venia's lead, they slowly passed through a thick fog and circled around a barren island three times in a clockwise direction.
After repeating this three times, they finally arrived at a new vast world. The Theseus slowly docked at the mouth of a river at the edge of a huge island.
This was somewhat similar to when they returned to the Beacon Anchorage in the spirit world.
This place might not be completely in the material world, but some small worlds like the Sanctum or even the Divine Kingdom that were semi-independent of the material world.
Whoosh …
The clear river with a large runoff was like a winding jade belt. On both sides of the mouth of the river were protruding cliffs. On top of the cliffs sat orderly large rock buildings of varying heights. They were simple and spectacular, as if every brick carried a heavy history.
What was even more amazing was that behind one of the cliffs, there was a spiraling mountain peak. One-third of the mountain was suspended in the air, and there was a snow-white waterfall flowing down. Beautiful birds of unknown names were circling above.
On top of the mountain, there were magnificent palaces with white marble as the foundation and bright gold decorations. The highest level reached the clouds, as if it was the residence of the gods.
After Venia's introduction, this was indeed the case.
Jeros and Stephanie, who had experienced it once more than ten years ago, were already mentally prepared. Instead, it was Elvin, who was here for the first time, who was overwhelmed.
When he turned around, he suddenly realized that he had involuntarily turned into the mythical form of a primo.
"Here, you can only show your true form. Everyone is the same. Just get used to it."
Venia, who was next to him, saw that Elvin was trying to turn back into a human and quickly explained. At this time, she also seemed to be different. Her figure was obviously more ethereal than before she entered this place.
Jeros and his wife did not change at all. They still looked like normal humans.
There was no need to say much about Stephanie, and Jeros was about the same level as the "Snake Witch" Sera. Although they had reached the limit of the senior level and were not far from the peak of the great wizard.
But they were far from reaching the level of the first "Death Messenger" of the School of Curses and the old witch Papaya, who had already achieved the transformation of life essence.
Jeros put away the [Terseus], and Venia also put away the female spirit. The few of them walked to the beach.
In front of them stood a giant pure-gold fish tank. The air was filled with mist that floated like gauze, making the city on the cliff appear from time to time like a mirage.
Dang! Dang! Dang! …
The girl stepped forward and gently tapped on the giant fish tank rhythmically. Then there were all kinds of natural sounds that resonated with it, playing the most harmonious concerto in the world.
Following a certain rhythm, the mist between the cliffs quickly turned into a crisscrossing bridge that slowly began to move, allowing them to climb the city on the cliff step by step.
And the higher they went, the thinner the mist, and the more real the city was. It was as if they had not crossed a cliff that was dozens of meters high, but had walked through thousands of mountains and rivers.
It gave Elvin the feeling that on the surface, this place seemed to be a paradise where people could live and work in peace and contentment. But under the strict protection of the security measures, this place was more like a … refuge.
When he really set foot in this country that looked like a small city-state, Elvin felt like he had really walked into the world of myths. Along the way, he saw many subhumans that seemed to have the bloodline of the otherworldlings, or simply monsters.
Cyclops, Shepherds, Centaurs, Murlocs, Titans, Harpies, Nagas, Lion Heads, Sheep Bodies, Sphinxes … Many of them did not even look like humans, and there were even elemental creatures that were not flesh and blood.
Normal humans, who had no otherworldling characteristics at all, became the minority.
On the other hand, Venia was obviously very popular. Along the way, residents often took the initiative to greet her.
"Good day, Your Highness the Saintess!"
"Your Highness the Saintess …"
Elvin, who was walking next to her, looked at these "people," and his eyes glowed slightly. For his "Tree of Life School," this was a perfect … material library.
"Mr. Garriott, I feel like you're thinking of something rude."
Venia, who was walking in front, felt his burning gaze and could not help but look back at him.
"Ahem … It's just an illusion. It's my first time in such a simple place, and I just want to make friends with everyone."
After beating around the bush, Elvin also noticed something.
Although the "Golden Kingdom" had been closed for at least a hundred years and did not know about the changes in the human world, the living standards of the residents here were not much worse than the people of the Old Continent.
The living standards of the people were not necessarily related to the political system, culture, and beliefs. The most important factor that determined all of this was the advancement of science and technology, or productivity.
Elvin still remembered the research evidence from his previous life. Before the invention of agriculture, the total population of the entire Blue Planet had never exceeded 15 million people, and the total population during the hunter-gatherer era did not exceed 1 million people.
It had only been seven or eight years since the Sky Goddess had gone to the Source Continent to seek scriptures. Many of the residents here were already wearing machine-made cotton clothes. Some even carried flintlock guns on their backs. Clearly, they were already consciously learning and imitating.
And it was not entirely bad for the country to be ruled by a god. At least, as a follower and not a leader, it had a huge advantage.
The three of them were sent to a temporary residence in the city by Venia and everything was taken care of for them. Before they parted, Elvin asked casually.
"Miss Venia, are we going to meet the two great goddesses tomorrow?"
The girl smiled mysteriously.
"Well, have a good dream first!"
