"He is a true God, he just hasn't awakened his divine power, but he still cares for the people."
When Cerna saw Li Ke accept these people without a second thought, she was even more certain of this matter because Li Ke could have completely abandoned these people and left with her and her daughter.
He could have done so and no one would blame him for it, but he didn't.
Just like how he didn't abandon the mother and daughter in the snowstorm, he also didn't abandon these homeless people. Although there weren't many words, there was no doubt that the man before her would never let these people die. He would lead them to survive and grow stronger.
Just like the War Mothers.
However, normal War Mothers didn't have the ability to produce food from the ground and face a God directly. Although they were powerful, wise, and decisive, it was only necessary for survival. It was because she wasn't decisive, wise, and capable enough that she didn't see the right path in the mist that her tribe was destroyed and her family was left to die in the snow. She once desperately desired the help of God and was completely disappointed in God in the snowstorm.
But …
"My God still came to my side."
She couldn't help but mutter. Although her voice was soft, it still made her daughter curiously reach out and touch her mother's pale but beautiful face.
Looking at her daughter's face and holding her small hand, Cerna once again picked up her faith in God, but this time, it wasn't the strange astronomical phenomenon or some ancient legend. Instead, it was the man beside her who lowered his head in thought and frowned from time to time.
Li Ke still underestimated Freldrod. Although he understood the barrenness, cruelty, and backwardness of this place, he still forgot one thing: superstition.
There were real gods in this place, and they possessed truly inconceivable power. So when he looked at the sprouting potatoes in surprise, Cerna became his most loyal believer. At first, Cerna only treated him as a man who was given a mission by God, but after he faced Furybear, she didn't think so anymore.
Because there was a God in this world who came out to wreak havoc from time to time, some things that Li Ke didn't care about were taboo in this world. Destroying Furybear's symbol and killing the losers were taboo things that would incur Furybear's wrath. But no, not only did Furybear's power not harm him, but he even took away a part of it.
This was enough to explain a lot of things.
This was what Cerna saw from her perspective. After Li Ke accepted these homeless people and distributed precious food to them, the image of Li Ke as a God grew bigger in her eyes.
After all, compared to a God who occupied many hunting grounds, ate people, took away their believers' sense of self, and left no survivors, a generous and selfless God who could conjure food and save the weak. people were more willing to believe in the existence.....
This was determined by human nature. Superstitious people would be more devout and Cerna was obviously a superstitious woman. The reason why she had a conflict with Sejuani was simple. During a casual conversation, she said that Aichy might really be the reincarnation of Avarosa and might possibly unify Freldrod.
This angered Sejuani and no matter how she tried to make up for it, Sejuani viewed her as an enemy and forced her to join Sejuani's enemy.
But now, she believed that Li Ke would unify Freldrod and bring true prosperity and peace to this land. What she needed to do was to support him and follow him.
This sense of honor as if she was chosen by God dominated this woman. But if Li Ke knew about it, he would definitely snort in disdain because Cherna was grateful to him for saving her life.
As for God?
Let that self-proclaimed God create a rock that he couldn't lift first!
But even though they tried their best to move as fast as possible, they didn't have enough horses and tools and time was tight. Li Ke's group could only rely on the horses to carry the things and the children who couldn't walk. Those who were able to walk had to walk on the ground.
And it was due to the fact that Li Ke's group slowed down at a speed visible to the naked eye. Moreover, they returned to the Frostgale Tribe to retrieve some supplies and burned the corpses of the dead. Therefore, when they crossed the cave where they lived before and walked for another two hours, the sky began to darken and snow began to fall from the sky again.
That was why when they saw a forest, Li Ke interrupted Cerna's reverie and asked her to prepare for camping.
"Cerna, command the women to set up camp. The remaining two men and I will get some potatoes and firewood. This way, the food can last for a while."
Li Ke stopped and took out an axe from a pile of weapons. The two men also took the initiative to take out two axes from the pile of weapons and stood beside Li Ke.
"Okay."
Cerna nodded. Then, she looked at the trembling children, and a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes.
"Let these little ones help you. It's not like when we're alone. If he asked them to help him pick up some small branches, he would be able to cook faster. Also, when you chop the firewood, they can help you boil water. "
Of course, she knew what Li Ke wanted to do. But it was because of this that she wanted more people to witness Li Ke's miracle.
"But they're still children after all."
Li Ke keenly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it. Therefore, after reminding Cerna, he carried the bag of potatoes that he left behind and led the two silent men into the forest.
But the children still followed. A very young girl led them. They were also carrying pots, brackets, and a few small shovels. They weren't noisy like normal children at all. Instead, they were silent and sensible.
"Sir, chopping firewood is fine, but potatoes …"
As they approached the forest, the bald man spoke. He knew that his actions were bold, but it was impossible to search for potatoes in such a snowy land. If that was what it meant to be loyal, they probably wouldn't be able to do it.
"You only need to chop firewood."
Li Ke sensed the abundant vitality in his body, then brandished his axe and chopped down a pine tree, causing it to sway.
"Leave the rest to me."
