Raising an underage Raven God was a laborious task. Anveena had a deep understanding of this. The Raven Goddess Medivh was evolving in a very strange way, and her attributes were heavily biased towards one subject. That bird had the personality of a five-year-old, yet it could learn to search for Dalaran's Magic Encyclopedia. This was too cruel. I didn't even know how to eat melon seeds when I was five …
Anveena felt that she would be able to grasp Medivh's growth pattern one day, but it definitely wouldn't be in the next two days. Right now, we couldn't even find a single strand of Medivh's hair. Until that night, all the search teams came up empty-handed. All they could find were the energy activity points that the bird had left and the tea had cooled. The surveillance satellites continuously scanned the entire world, and the energy distribution map they obtained was a mess. The world map that was sent back was filled with messy lines, showing Medivh's flight path. It started from Hebei, circled around the Middle East, and then headed straight for the South Pole. Then, it turned into North America, entered South Africa, and then appeared in Australia. Then, it jumped to the vicinity of Okinawa, then Northern Europe, and the next step was Chile … Let me put it this way. This route was even more complicated than Shallow Shallow's brain. The only pattern that I could conclude was that there was no pattern at all.
What I could confirm was that after noon Beijing time, there were no new energy reactions on Earth. Medivh's figure had completely disappeared from all the satellite images, and what was left on Earth was only the energy hot spot that was gradually cooling down.
"Could it have flown to another planet?" I muttered as I looked at the holographic projection in front of me.
It was 10: 30 at night, and the whole family was still awake. Of course, the younger ones, other than Pandora and her sister, had been coaxed to sleep by their elder sister. We felt that the raven was really noisy, especially after it ate Jingle's leaves. It was as if it had taken stimulants. Anveena sat next to me with a worried expression, and the light around her body flickered. Ever since I brought her home, this was the first time that I saw this little ghost, who was always smiling, so sad. Medivh meant a lot to her. She had watched her birth with her own eyes and raised her little by little. She had poured all of Anveena's blood, sweat, and tears into her. If one had to describe her, she was like a child to Anveena. Seeing how disappointed the little ghost was, I felt the need to comfort her. "Well, it's fine even if you fly to another planet. You just have to expand the search area. You don't think that we can't even find a bird in such a large Empire, do you?"
Anveena lowered her head in frustration. "But it's so small, and the universe is so big …"
Well, I shouldn't have mentioned flying to another planet! Based on Anveena's habits, she would never have thought of outer space …
I thought for a while and connected to Lin Xue through the mental connection. "Hey, girl, are you asleep?"
By this time, Lin Xue had already returned home. Due to various reasons, Lin Xue had successfully made her parents adopt a free-range policy on her. However, unless there were special circumstances, she still had to return home at night. Old Master Lin was not that careless. If I wanted to find her at this time, I could only use the mental connection. It was almost eleven o 'clock now, and Lin Xue claimed to be a sunny girl with good work and rest habits. Removing the words' sunny girl ', the core meaning of this sentence was to not bother her after ten o' clock at night, she wanted to sleep, but I never seemed to take this seriously.
"Would you believe me if I said I was asleep?" Lin Xue's voice rang in my head. "So boring. Grandpa Lin talked to me and mentioned about me and you. He insisted that we should find an auspicious day in two years. Even if it's an underground wedding, you have to get married legally …" I broke out in a cold sweat. "What did you say?"
Lin Xue's voice sounded lazy. "I said that I had already let you eat me up. Grandpa Lin should lead the entire ability group to attack the headquarters of Boundless Love. Then, he dragged me to make a strategic plan for two hours …" I knew that the girl was talking nonsense, but I still played along with her. "Oh, and how did you settle the interstellar war?"
Lin Xue's voice sounded especially arrogant. "Do you still remember that Olympus almost sneaked into the base on the moon? Grandpa Lin also knew about that, so I said that the Boundless Love office is on the moon, and the headquarters is in the southern hemisphere of Mars. A while ago, Curiosity landed on Mars and almost found the Boundless Love base. Luckily, you found two people to hold an LCD TV in front of Curiosity and blocked the camera … Yawn … By the way, why are you looking for me? Don't tell me you just want to listen to my nonsense? "
These words really didn't sound like something that would come out of the mouth of a rich family's daughter, but considering that Lin Xue had been dragged by her family's old man to work in the superpower group many years ago, I didn't care about it.
"Medivh may not be on Earth." I quickly told Lin Xue my latest speculation. "It can't be found anywhere in the world."
Lin Xue was silent for a while. Then, she suddenly said, "I can only see that it eventually returned home safe and sound. You are destined to never find it. Tell Anveena not to worry that Medivh will be fine. It is now hiding in a very safe place. I can't see where it is, but it is surrounded by fog and there is no one around. It is undergoing a metamorphosis there … Yes, a very big metamorphosis. "
I still had something to ask, but Lin Xue didn't seem to want to explain. She had a habit of saying as little as possible about the prophecy to prevent future changes. In the end, she confirmed one thing. The crow that had been crazy outside for two days and one night would return home in a few days, safe and sound. This time, it didn't cause rivers of blood, nor did it cause natural disasters. It could be said that everything was safe and worthy of celebration. The only unfortunate thing was that we had been busy for a whole day, and I had even let the tiger return to the mountain …
But after I hung up, I still felt that something was not quite right. Was this the end of the matter? More importantly, when Lin Xue said that Medivh would return home, her tone was very mysterious. Based on my understanding of her, this meant that the situation was going to be dramatic again …
I looked around and saw that everyone was looking at me expectantly. So, I shrugged and said, "Lin Xue said that Medivh would return in a few days. Nothing big happened, just a farce."
I repeated Lin Xue's words to everyone, especially to comfort Anveena, so that she wouldn't be so depressed. After hearing that, everyone expressed their disappointment and dispersed. But Shallow Shallow stayed behind. After everyone went back to rest, she hopped over to me and whispered, "Ah Jun, Ah Jun, I heard Lin Xue mention the auspicious day just now …"
My head immediately swelled. So, Shallow Shallow was eavesdropping on my conversation with Lin Xue?
"Yes, she mentioned the auspicious day. Her grandfather even made a two-hour strategic plan to attack me."
Shallow Shallow smirked and poked my waist. "Let's see how you get trained by my dad. Let me tell you something. My dad knows a little about you … Not much. Those outside of Earth definitely don't know, but those on Earth have made up a lot of things in his head …"
I looked at Shallow Shallow in shock. She giggled and waved her hand. "Have you forgotten? Back then, you led a group of 'metahumans' to find my dad from the ruins. He saw a lot of things, so he knew that you weren't normal. But I didn't tell him, so he's making up stories in his head. Also, he knows that you have a Sandora by your side. Don't forget that two years ago, the two of you were public figures. Although Sandora used her power to change the perception of those people, those who should remember it still remember it, including my dad. "
I thought for a while and looked at Shallow Shallow seriously. "Why don't we elope …"
"Aren't we eloping?" Shallow Shallow asked curiously.
I replied, "… Alright, what does your dad think? Hmm, isn't he building a weapon of mass destruction at home? Then, by chance, he had a historic meeting with Grandpa Lin, and the two of them instantly became good friends. Then, the two of them formed an allied army to eliminate me … "
I suddenly felt that compared to world peace, the matter at hand was almost as troublesome. I had three girls by my side, and I could swear to anything, including the void, that my relationship with them was real. It was forged from real gold and fire. Over the past four years, we had gone through war, calamities, and the end of the world. We had gone through life and death together in all kinds of dangerous situations. Qian Qian, Lin Xue, and the others had never left Earth before, but they had rashly followed me to the dangerous battlefields of other worlds time and time again. No matter how terrible our daily lives were, you couldn't deny that our family was a magnificent one. In such a situation, we had spent four years together in the wind and rain, and from the looks of it, we still had many more years to go. There was no doubt about this. However, the crux of the problem was … There were parents on both sides, and they didn't know …
Out of the three of them, Sandora wasn't a big problem, because Her Majesty the Queen's situation was unique. She didn't care about the rules of humans at all. Lin Xue wasn't a problem either, because she had a fierce grandfather. Grandpa Lin had seen the "richness" of the world in his lifetime, and after he had stirred up a storm a few times, he had tacitly accepted the relationship between Lin Xue and me. From the looks of it, only Shallow Shallow's father was a huge obstacle …
I suddenly thought of something. Theoretically speaking, Shallow Shallow's father was definitely my natural enemy. The old man was best at digging up the ancestral graves of kings and generals. He had been digging for his entire life, and I could more or less be considered as a king or general …
I suddenly felt proud of being a Void Creature, because I didn't have an ancestral grave …
"Actually, I have talked to my dad a few times." Shallow Shallow scratched her head. "We have been together since we were young. My dad watched you grow up, so he understands our situation and your character. However, when you suddenly appeared with a bunch of 'superpowers' and a bunch of strange people around you, he was a little confused. However, he could tell that his daughter was living a good life, so he didn't take any action for the time being. However, he said that he would use time to test everything out. If I was unhappy, he would immediately kill his way to my door. His exact words were like this: He didn't speak for the time being because he was concerned about his daughter's happiness, but when the time came, he would kill his way to my door for the sake of his daughter's happiness. My dad is actually a forthright person. When the time comes, he would definitely come to you with a kitchen knife … Oh right, I still have a set of bronze swords at home. My dad personally made them according to the Western Zhou standard. When the time comes, he might bring that over. "
I wiped the cold sweat off my forehead. I thought to myself, 'Digging up ancestral graves is really impressive. Why didn't I realize that Uncle Xu had such a gangster side to him?'
"No matter what kind of test it is, I will accept it. As long as the old man doesn't smack me with his rod, it's fine." I pouted and carried Qian Qian in my arms. "We have walked through the abyss together. I won't let go."
Shallow Shallow didn't seem to mind at all. "It's fine. I understand my dad. He will let me fool him for now. You will see when the time is right. The situation will be solved …" "What do you mean?"
Shallow Shallow chuckled. "If my dad finds out that he is still alive and kicking, digging up ancestral graves seventy or eighty years later, even the slowest person would realize that something is wrong, right? I will give him a huge surprise then … "
I looked at Shallow Shallow speechlessly. I thought to myself, 'Who in this world would be as stupid as you? Seventy or eighty years later? '
But I should pay more attention to this matter. After all, I had kidnapped someone else's daughter. I can't just leave without an explanation. Uncle Xu was so confident in handing over Shallow Shallow to me. Of course, I don't know if he is still at ease now …
"Actually, other than being with Ah Jun, there isn't any other choice, right?" Qian Qian pinched my chin and rubbed her face against mine. "My dad has to understand that there's no such thing as a second son-in-law in this world. When he understands everything, he'll definitely agree to us being together. What happens next will be our mission. You will be in charge of performing well, and I will be in charge of fooling my dad. Besides, I have already let you eat me up. According to Xiaoxue, we have a child together. Not only is the rice cooked, it's also burnt … "
How should I put it? Uncle Xu must have had a hard time raising a brat like Shallow Shallow. I have never seen someone so excited when scheming against his own father …
Soon, a week had passed. Our search for the bird was still ongoing. However, Lin Xue's prophecy had already predicted the progress of our work. Medivh was hiding in a corner that no one knew about. The Empire soldiers that were sent out returned empty-handed. In a week's time, they had almost reached the surface of Castle Gudeng.
The biggest progress was made by the European team, which was the main force led by Sicarro. They found some "divine artifacts" that Medivh had left behind in the European mountains. Those were obviously enchanted items. The power that Medivh emitted had activated the ancient armors and swords that had been buried under an ancient battlefield for hundreds of years. It had also triggered a geological change, allowing these swords to see the light of day again during an earthquake.
What happened was like this: A farmer living nearby was checking on the water well that he had set up in the highlands after the earthquake. He happened to pick up a two-handed sword that was stabbed into a rock. He found that it was as light as a feather and had a mysterious connection with the rock and the earth. When the two-handed sword was stabbed into the rock, it actually fused with the rock! Such a mysterious ancient weapon made the more superstitious mountain residents think of a lot of things. When a group of Empire soldiers heard the news and rushed over, the old farmer had already gathered a group of old men in the nearby village. He announced that he was King Arthur in his previous life. Under the guidance of fate, he found the Stone Sword again and planned to gather his own Knights of the Round Table in this life. Later, this sixty-eight-year-old King Arthur who held the "holy sword" was suppressed by Artoria who came after hearing the news and had his memory erased by the Empire soldiers.
The mutated swords were now piled up in the research center. There was a group that specialized in the phenomenon of Medivh's deification and the derivative theory of this phenomenon. They tried to use the information disturbance theory to build a mathematical model that could accurately describe the process of Schilling's ascension. The swords convinced the experts of this research group that Medivh's deification had already begun. It was spreading its power to another springboard: this was the typical pre-stage of symbolic power. What made these experts even happier was that there was no residue of the Goddess of Life's power on the mutated swords. This meant that Jingle's leaves might have only played a role as a catalyst throughout the process, and the "divine power" that Medivh had obtained might have been generated by itself.
Icetis gave us a suggestion, which was to properly preserve the swords after the completion of the research. If Medivh really appeared as the Raven God in the future, then these scraps of metal would be the first batch of artifacts born with the Raven God. Their power would grow with Medivh, and it was very likely that they would become the national treasures of some mortal tribes who believed in the Raven God in the future.
Liliana also made up a mythical story for these swords based on her experience as an archbishop for Jingle. It was said that Medivh, the Raven God, had cut off all the sins she had when she was a mortal creature when she metamorphosed into a god. Among them, the sins that contained negative factors such as "tyranny, desire for destruction, and killing" were the strongest. So the Raven God sealed these forces in his seven feathers and plucked them out. Later, these seven feathers that sealed the original sins fell to the ground and turned into weapons, forming seven divine swords. Because the Raven God used them to seal the original sins, he obtained the sacred meaning of "Severing Sin." Hence, the seven swords were named the "Blade of Condemnation." Later, the Raven God gave the "Blade of Condemnation" to mortals and ordered believers to remember the noble act of God Severing Sin. They were to constantly examine themselves and use the seven swords to purify the evil thoughts of the heretics.
Look, this is what it means to be a professional. Liliana seemed to be born to fool people. When a bird went crazy, it dug out seven rusty ancient iron swords from the ground. She made them so awesome after some processing.
However, Icetis greatly praised Liliana's fabrication. She strongly suggested that I write down this story. When Medivh grew up, I would let the bird follow this script to develop believers, and strive for the Schilling God System to be spread across the world from "Severing Sin."
This was how Icetis explained it: "Remember, the core idea of the mythical story is nonsense. When God Genesis was created, his general idea was just to look good. The main reason we usually say 'let there be light' is because it's dark and we can't see clearly. The starting point of God's doing this might be very low. Therefore, the author of 'miracles' is never God. It's easy to get goosebumps when we write it ourselves."
This was the original version of the first miracle of the "Ten Miracles of the Raven God" that was passed down in later generations …
