Chapter 285 "Myuba the Magician"
QQ's pair of beady eyes flashed with wisdom, then slowly smiled: "Master Du Wei, you like to listen to stories, right? Then let me tell you a story as well … it's also about Myuba. Only, it's a little different from the one told by Maximos … "
Hearing this, Du Wei suddenly flipped over and bounced up from the ground. It was hard to tell whether his expression was one of anger or despair. Instead, he laughed wildly and pointed at the Mythological Beast in front of him: "Good! Good Aragon! Good Myuba! Good Lord QQ! This daddy is convinced by you! Tell me, what more sensational story do you have? You might as well tell it all at once, lest you jump out and scare this daddy again in the future! "
Truth be told, Du Wei was a little angry out of humiliation … Damn, anyone else would also be angry! Du Wei's psychological endurance is already very strong! When the white and green Gandorf came out, he endured it. When Aragon, the founding emperor was actually a transmigrator, he endured it. Even when QQ said something like "3,000 beauties in the harem, an iron rod ground into an embroidery needle", Du Wei endured it!
But now?
You have to say that the greatest figure in the history of the continent's Shrines of Light, the first Pope, is … is a fucking bird!
This kind of thing, anyone would go crazy.
QQ has already regained its calm. This Mythological Beast who has always prided itself on its elegance and demeanor, blinked its beady eyes at Du Wei: "Well, it seems you have calmed down. Since that's the case, can I start my story?"
"Say it, say it …" Du Wei held his head in distress: "I'm already mentally prepared. Even if you immediately conjure up a cross and call yourself Christ Jesus, this daddy won't be surprised … say it!"
"Christ Jesus … Hmm, Master Aragon also said something like that in the past, but I don't know what it means." QQ fell into a daze for a moment, then began to tell another version of Myuba's story.
"Most of what Maximos and his entourage said is the truth, but not many people know about my origin.
About a thousand years ago, the Roland Continent – oh, I forgot to say, at that time, this continent was not called the Roland Continent. This name was changed after the establishment of the Roland Empire. Let me think … at that time, this continent's name … … "
At this point, Duwei impatiently interrupted it, "Don't talk about these details, just focus on the main points."
"Okay." QQ seems to ignore Du Wei's impatient's impatience, but it still followed Du Wei's request and sped up the story, skipping these "unimportant" details:
"Aragon's hometown is in the south central region of the continent. It was originally a place called the Rose Kingdom, which is about 600 kilometers south of the current imperial capital, located around the Rona River valley. The Rose Kingdom is not big. At that time, among the dozens of countries in the continent, it was only considered to be below average. Moreover, the military strength was not strong … … The kingdom was not rich in warriors, but was famous for its quality wine. As you can imagine, such a small and weak country was bullied and humiliated in that era of the Forest of Nations.
Aragon and I were both born in a small town in the south of the Rose Kingdom. In the story that Maximos told, I was a priest of the Church of Light in that small town. Well, the official records are indeed like this. But in fact … … Hehe, throughout my life, I have never believed in that damned Goddess of Light. "
Du Wei believes that if this last sentence were to spread out, it would certainly make the entire Light Shrines go crazy!
One of the founders of the Light Shrines, the great founder, the first His Majesty the Pope, actually opened his mouth and said that he had "never believed in that damned Goddess of Light."
If that's the case … … Hehe!
"At that time, the town and the surrounding land belonged to Aragon's master's family. Master Aragon's father was a noble, a small noble. He had to rely on the production of several vineyards around the town to make a living. Master Aragon was the youngest son in the family, a young master. As for me, my father was a farmer in the vineyard, employed by the lord of the nobility. If nothing had changed, according to the normal course, I should have inherited my father's business and become a farmer who grows grapes.
I was two years younger than Aragon. When I was young, Master Aragon was the leader of all the children in the manor. He was very smart, strong, decisive, and very talented as a leader … … Oh, of course, he also had a problem, which was that he was very lecherous. I still remember clearly that when I was ten years old, at night, he took me to peek at the farm steward's daughter taking a bath … … Well, right outside the house, I squatted on the ground, and Master Aragon stepped on my shoulder and leaned over the wall to watch … … After that, he said to me, 'My dear brother, in the future you will also like these lovely women.' At that time, I was still young, so I didn't understand the meaning of his words.
He liked me very much and regarded me as his most trusted person. My father later died, and I was too young to do the heavy farm work in the manor. At that time, people who didn't work would only starve to death. Every day, even if I was half dead from exhaustion, I still couldn't finish the farm work. At that time, it was Aragon who saved me. At night, he stole bread from the kitchen and ran out to find me and give it to me. Later, for fear that I would starve to death, he proposed to transfer me to the house of the nobility as his servant. From that time on, I no longer called him by his name, but 'Master.'
Du Wei, you are the smartest person I have ever met … … But, in my opinion, Aragon is as smart as you. The things you make, such as balloons that can fly in the sky, and in the army, you let the soldiers play football to exercise their bodies. Well, you will be surprised, because these things, Master Aragon already thought of a thousand years ago!
When I was his servant, once, he drew a picture of the hot air balloon you made. He told me that with this kind of thing, you can fly to the sky. I was very excited when I heard it. But after Master Aragon finished drawing, he thought for a long time and burned the picture himself, not letting anyone see it! I asked him why, but he didn't say anything. He just looked at me, and then said to himself, 'What's the point of doing it again … … You don't understand, everything is just a cycle.'
He was such a person, he often said some unfathomable things that people couldn't understand.
Well, Du Wei, the words you asked me to learn that day were also taught by Aragon. I didn't know what these words were. He taught me word by word. I admired him even more, because he was able to create a language. But now it seems … … Du Wei, these words weren't created by Master Aragon, but originally existed. Because you also know these words. Right?
I was his servant, but he was more like my teacher. He taught me a lot of things. Later, many people called me 'the smart Mayuba', 'the learned Mayuba', but most of what I know was taught by Master Aragon.
He was so smart. When he was still at home, because he wasn't the eldest son, he didn't have the right to inherit, and he never tried to fight for anything. His two elder brothers fought desperately for the limelight in front of the nobles, trying to show off and win the father's favor. But Master Aragon never did that. This performance brought him peace. His other two brothers fought openly and secretly, but they didn't make things difficult for him. So our days were very easy and happy.
Until Master Aragon was sixteen years old, he decided to leave home. He told me that the outside world was very big, he told me that the world was about to change, he told me that this continent would no longer be the world it used to be, he told me … … Oh, I've forgotten, he told me a lot of things, but too much time has passed, and many memories are blurred.
That year, he was sixteen, and I was fourteen. I followed him, and we left home together, and left the small town. I asked him, why now? Why did he choose to leave now? He only told me: Because it's time.
I've never really understood his heart. I could feel that Aragon felt very lonely all his life, because he seemed to have some secrets in his heart that he never told anyone. He treated me as the closest person to him and taught me a new way of thinking. In this way, he was able to alleviate the loneliness he felt. He often said to me: Thanks to you, at least I have someone to talk to.
For the rest, you can refer to the founding emperor's life. We went on adventures together. When he went to the mercenary group as a Knight, I was his squire, helping him clean weapons and feed his horses. When he was doing business, I was his attendant, helping him calculate the sales and profits. The last time, when we were about to go out to sea, he didn't let me go with him because I was seasick, but let me wait on the shore.
That time, when his ship went out to sea, it was shipwrecked. When I heard the news, I was very sad, and thought he was dead. Later, I waited at the port for a whole month before he finally came back.
The first thing he said to me was: 'Well, remember this day, the legend begins today!'
In that shipwreck, he lost almost all of his wealth, and the money we had accumulated as mercenaries sank to the bottom of the sea. But Aragon seemed to be very happy, and he didn't show the slightest bit of discouragement. Instead, he happily took me back to his hometown.
After that, his father died soon after, and as the youngest son, he didn't inherit the title, only a small amount of inheritance.
And then … Du Wei, you probably know what happened after that, the history of the continent recorded that Aragon's master used his inheritance to organize a small private army. This move was laughed at by many at the time. That private army was made up of friends we made during our years as mercenaries, and Aragon gathered them all together.
But then, sure enough, his approach was correct. In less than two years, war broke out on the continent, and the Rose Kingdom was involved in the war. This weak kingdom was almost destroyed, and Aragon's master, with that small private army, began to make a name for himself. Step by step, he stepped onto the stage of history.
In the first few years, we were very successful, and I was always by his side, as his most trusted assistant … Oh, just like you and Philip. He would discuss many things with me. But at that time, he didn't let me hold any position in public, but only let me be his private adviser, and many people didn't even know of my existence. I never complained, because in my opinion, I could devote my life to him, and as for power, I didn't care.
And … It turned out that he actually had a plan long ago! He wanted me to help him do something bigger, so it wasn't suitable for me to show my face in public. "
"Wait!" Du Wei was listening attentively, but at this time he suddenly interrupted: "No! That's not right! According to the story told by Maximos, as well as the historical records, Mayuba should be a priest in that small town! But you said you left home with Aragon when you were 14 years old? "
"That's right." QQ glanced at Du Wei: "Didn't you say it yourself? History books are often deceiving people. This matter is not as simple as it is written in the books. "
"One day, Aragon came to me in private, and he told me that there was a very important thing for me to do. This matter was very important, and also very dangerous. Especially … … besides me, he couldn't find anyone he could trust to do it. I was the only one. I didn't hesitate, because I was willing to sacrifice myself for him.
Later, after a long discussion, we began our plan, which Aragon and I privately called 'Usurp God'! It means to usurp the power of God in the world!
The expansion of the army can't solve all problems. At that time, there were many religions on the continent, all kinds of churches, all kinds of beliefs … … and all kinds of gods. But military conquest can't conquer people's hearts. So, we decided to use religion! But we couldn't establish a religion, and time was running out. We could only rely on a religion. We chose the Church of Light. Because it had the most followers, it could give Aragon the most help.
After that, I began to walk on my stage.
We secretly brought people back to our hometown, and returned to the small town's religious house. Because of the war, the priest in the small town's religious house had died. There was almost no one left in the town. We found all the records and documents in the religious house, and after carefully reading them, Aragon burned the evidence against us, leaving only some that were good for us.
Then, I used a special magic potion to dye my hair. That potion was really painful for me, because ordinary dyes could only change the color of the hair for a short period of time. After a long time, the new hair would still be the same color as before. But the medicine made by Aragon's master was different. That medicine made my scalp very painful and itchy, and finally caused peeling. After a month, my scalp grew back, and the new hair that grew out was all golden.
I drank a medicine that completely changed my voice, and Aragon taught me a skill that changed the growth of my bones, so that I grew taller in two months.
These processes were very painful, but I was willing to sacrifice everything for Aragon's master.
After two months of preparation, I put on the robes of the Church of the Goddess of Light. Then Aragon said to me: 'Remember, from today onwards, your name is Mayuba, and your identity is a young priest of the Church of Light in a remote town. Your whole resume is written clearly in these documents, I think you have already memorized it. '
Of course I memorized it!
Aragon trusted me, and taught me a lot since I was a child. He once said that if I didn't follow him, I could have achieved great things with my own talent and mind. So he often felt sorry for me.
During those two months, I endured the pain in my scalp, my sore throat, and the changes in my bones. Every day, I recited the teachings of the Goddess of Light.
After two months, I believe that my familiarity with the teachings of the Goddess of Light is not worse than any real priest!
Then, we began the 'Usurping God' plan!
From that day onwards, I changed my name to 'Mayuba', and my identity was no longer the son of a farmer, and no longer the servant of Aragon's master. My identity was Mayuba, a young priest of the Church of Light! "
QQ's laughter became more cunning and insidious: "Then, as Mayuba, I contacted the other forces of the Church of Light. At that time, although the Church of Light was huge, its organization was very loose, and there was no unified and strict organization. As a priest, it was easy for me to enter the inner circle of the Church of Light. Moreover, I came from a good background, and the records show that I was a devout believer since I was a child. Of course, no one doubted me. Within the Church, I quickly used the funds Aragon gave me to gather a group of people. Then, using my influence, I gathered the forces of the Church of Light in some small places to support Aragon. Then, Aragon came forward and made a deal with the leaders of the Church of the Goddess of Light in exchange for the Church's support for his unification of the continent. And in the process, my position was getting higher and higher … I don't need to tell you what happened after that! "
At the end of this speech, Du Wei was sweating profusely!
Mayuba! This is the origin of Mayuba! This is the secret of the real Mayuba!
The founder of the Shrines … the greatest believer of the Goddess of Light.
This is a conspiracy from beginning to end!
"Usurping God" plan … Heavens!
"In other words, the real Mayuba had died a long, long, long time ago in the midst of the war. As for you, after discussing with Aragon, you entered the Church under his name, and then … step by step, you used the power of the Church to complete the unification war. "Du Wei sighed:" Good scheme! Good calculation! Good plan! Good spirit! "
He said "good" several times in a row, but in his heart, he couldn't help but admire Aragon's long-term planning!
"In fact, although we used the Church of Light, we soon discovered a problem. As Aragon's unification war progressed, the forces under the Thorned Flower banner grew bigger and bigger. And the Church was also gradually growing stronger and stronger! This is definitely not a good sign for the future! A stable empire can only have one powerful center! If an empire has two powerful centers, then it will definitely become a source of chaos. "The development of the Church also stimulated many of the religious swindlers within the Church. Those ambitious swindlers began to fantasize about ridiculous things. For example … theocracy.
They began to fantasize about using the influence of the Church to control everything. With the power of the Church above the secular power, religion would become the only master of the world. What Emperor, King, Nobles, they would all have to submit to the Church.
"However, these greedy swindlers who only know how to talk and scheme, what do they know? They are as greedy as pigs and as vicious as snakes. If they are allowed to control the highest authority and become the master of the continent … humph, do they even know how to govern a country?
"Of course, I originally did not care too much about these swindlers.
Because although they are vicious and greedy, at least back then, they were still very useful. "However, Aragon and I had different thoughts. He had always been wary of the Church.
In particular, something happened after that!
Du Wei, since you have read the scriptures of the Shrines of Light, you must have read the records of the famous' miracle 'in the scriptures! "
Du Wei nodded.
The scriptures of the Shrines of Light were similar to the Bible of Christianity in Du Wei's previous world.
In addition to preaching the teachings of the Goddess, the scriptures also deified and beautified the creation of the Shrines of Light. In one of the most important chapters, there was a story that Du Wei originally thought was nonsense:
When the Radiant Empire was founded, the Church of the Goddess of Light that was allied with Aragon was already very powerful at that time. At this time, the people below called for the establishment of a strong and holy religious organization, a united and strict organization to control the religious affairs of the areas shrouded by the Goddess of Light.
At this time, under the clamor, suddenly, the miracle of the Goddess of Light appeared! This incident was believed to be the Church's approval and authorization from the Goddess!
Most of the non-believers scoffed at this record. The smart ones thought that this was made up by the Shrines to beautify themselves. Including Du Wei.
Especially within the Magician's Guild, they were extremely disdainful of this so-called miracle!
Here's the story:
The last chapter of the first volume of the scriptures is called 'The Goddess Bestows Eternal Glory to the Shrines'.
Legend has it that on the eve of the establishment of the Empire, the leader of the Church of the Goddess of Light, His Majesty Mayuba, who later became the first Pope of the Temple of Light, received the guidance of the Goddess of Light in his sleep. In his dream, the Goddess of Light issued a decree to His Majesty Mayuba, ordering him to go to a mountaintop northwest of the Imperial Capital the next day at noon to receive the miracle of the Goddess of Light.
Therefore, His Majesty Mayuba took a bath and fasted. The next day at noon, without any attendants, he walked barefoot to the top of the mountain. Even if the sharp stones cut his feet, they couldn't stop the great Mayuba's devout heart!
And at noon, the position of the Sun just happened to be above the people's heads, and the Goddess of Light descended as promised! In an instant, the red light was so bright that even a hundred miles away could feel the earth faintly shaking. The red light spread for thousands of miles, and the sky was filled with red clouds!
Finally, countless meteorites fell from the sky! At that time, people panicked and thought it was some kind of disaster. But when the meteorites fell from the sky and landed on the capital where the Church of the Goddess of Light was built (at that time, there were no Shrines), just as the meteorites were about to hit the ground, they slowed down and gently floated to the ground. When the people of the Church gathered around to take a look, they found that the meteorites were densely engraved with all kinds of words, and the content was …
The Goddess of Light imparted to the Church of 'Divine Arts'!
The Goddess of Light imparted these 'Divine Arts' to the Church so that the people of the Church could learn these powerful divine arts and have the power to defend the authority and honor of the Church!
Before this, although the Church of the Goddess of Light had a large number of people and great influence, including the head of the Church, they were all ordinary people without any magic. But after this' miracle ', a' Holy Master 'appeared within the Church! They were used to fight against the magicians of the continent and defend the Church's authority.
This matter was written in the scriptures of the Church of the Light by the Shrines, indicating that their authority in the world was authorized by the Goddess! Moreover, this matter made the people of the Church of Light heave a huge sigh of relief!
This was because although the Church of Light believed in the Goddess of Light, the embarrassing thing was that the Goddess of Light had not done any miracles for a very long time! Even many rival religions mocked them, saying that the Goddess had long abandoned them.
The miracle this time not only gave the Church of Light a layer of legal cover, but also solved their crisis of trust. From then on, the Church's reputation grew.
Of course, the first to scoff at this matter was the Sorcerers Guild!
The Sorcerers Guild had never acknowledged any 'Divine Arts'. They believed that only the magic researched by the magicians was the true essence of the power of the Gods! Everything else was heresy.
The Church's Divine Arts, on the other hand, were basically stolen magic and modified it to call themselves' Divine Arts', using it to beautify themselves.
As for this miracle, the magicians generally believed that it was fabricated by the Church in order to beautify themselves.
Within the Magician's Guild, they believed that the magicians were the most loyal to the Gods because the magicians would not talk about the Gods like those charlatans. The devotion of the magicians to the Gods was expressed with practical actions. Every magician worked hard to study the mystery of the power of the Gods throughout their life!
If the Gods wanted to do miracles, then it would not be those charlatans' turn! Instead, it should be the magicians' turn.
"I've read the scriptures, of course I know the description of this miracle." Du Wei laughed: "But, isn't this all fabricated? And ….. objectively speaking, it is precisely because of this miracle that you, Mayuba, have established your position in the Church! Because the Goddess' miracle was first notified to you, your position in the Church was unshakable. Finally, you officially became the Pope. Because you received the Goddess' spirit in your dreams, you are regarded as the Goddess' spokesperson in the world! Right? If it wasn't for this matter, you may not have been able to become the Pope! Although your prestige was very high at that time, after all, the power in the hands of the leaders of several schools is not low. "
"You're right about the second point. Indeed, because of this matter, I was given a layer of divine cloak. When I finally became the Pope, no one dared to oppose me or compete with me. But ….. you're wrong about the first point! This matter is not fabricated ….. it's true! "QQ's tone was dignified:" The Goddess of Light really showed her spirit! It was at that time that I began to believe that the Gods do exist. "
Du Wei's expression was a bit strange, he quietly waited for this QQ to continue.
"That night, I dreamed of the Goddess giving me a decree in my sleep. When I woke up, I thought it was just a dream. But then, I realized that there was something next to my pillow. It was a small stone. In my dream, the goddess told me that if I took this stone and went to the top of the mountain, I would be able to receive her miracle. Thus, I understood that it was not a dream, it was real! "
Hearing that, Du Wei suddenly gave a strange smile: "I don't think this Goddess has any ability … … humph, you are clearly a bad guy hiding in the Church. You are not a believer of the Goddess, yet she still gave you a miracle … … she is really muddle-headed."
"You're wrong again, Du Wei." QQ sighed: "The Goddess of Light is not so kind. Do you really think she chose me to be her spokesperson in the human world? Then you're wrong … … the Goddess will not choose anyone to be her spokesperson! In the eyes of the Gods, all humans are insignificant and lowly, just like how you and I look at the ants on the ground. Would you care if one of the ants is good or evil? You don't care about this kind of senseless question. The Gods look at humans like how humans look at ants! "
"Then … … that miracle … …"
QQ's tone changed: "When you look at this record in the Canon, don't you think it's strange? Those stones with the Divine Arts written on them directly descended into the Church, then … … why did she want me to go to the top of the mountain? What did I go to the top of the mountain to receive? Do you know? These things are not written in the Canon! "
Indeed!
These words immediately reminded Du Wei. He frowned and said: "That's right! Don't tell me you came back from the top of the mountain empty-handed? "
QQ did not directly answer this question. Instead, he leisurely said: "Du Wei, if you were a herdsman and you were herding a herd of cattle and sheep, in order to make it easier to manage, would you choose one of the cattle and sheep to be the manager?"
"No." Du Wei shook his head.
"That's it." QQ sighed: "The herdsman would choose to send a shepherd dog. So … … the Goddess had me go to the top of the mountain to receive a 'shepherd dog' she sent to the human world! The Gods despise humans and do not trust humans. In order to maintain her faith in the human world, she would not choose me or any other human to be her spokesperson. Instead, she sent down a spokesperson! "
After saying this, QQ's eyes became somewhat erratic:
"That day, I went to the top of the mountain to receive the miracle of the Goddess. The Goddess sent down a divine envoy to the human world … … an angel."
Du Wei's eyes flashed … …
Angel?!
