third chapter(1/2)
This is the first time the Water God has spoken with a heartfelt tone of indignation. Although she is already tens of thousands of years old, and although she is facing two people who have just met, the Water God does not hide the hatred and contempt in her tone.
.
Seeing the expression on Water God's face, Cohen couldn't help but laugh. Water God's lovely, slightly reproachful eyes rested on Cohen. He hurriedly explained, "It's not because of anything else. I just couldn't help but think about the fact that Water God also has such a disgusting object.
I'm just laughing, because others say that the older you are, the less likely you are to get angry. From this point of view, Lord Water God, you are still very young... How about I call you sister? Or you can call me sister instead."
"Why, His Highness Cohen is relying on his own aura with the source of life, and he is going to treat this place as a false sacred mountain to make trouble again? But this is a place of sleep, and I am not the one with a weak head.
Princess False God, I have rich experience in dealing with disobedient naughty people." The smile returned to the water god's face, and he slowly walked to Cohen's side, and with lightning speed, he stretched out his hand and twisted Cohen's ears, "
Your Highness, tell me yourself, do you know that you are wrong?"
The Water God tried to twist the emperor's ears, but Bai Ying, as a bodyguard, had no choice. The Water God's status was much higher than hers, and Bai Ying also hoped in her heart that someone could control this lawless and arrogant emperor.
"Since Your Excellency, the Water God, calls me His Highness, he considers himself to be of a slightly lower status. So, do you think it's appropriate to pull my ears?" Cohen folded his hands in a leisurely manner and excused himself softly, "I just saw that the atmosphere was too...
It's serious, I just made a little joke to liven up the atmosphere, okay, if you let go now, Lord Water God, I will never hold a grudge."
"But didn't His Highness address me as Your Excellency? That means that His Highness still thinks that our status is equal in His heart. Besides, the punishment of pulling the ears can only be used by the elders!" The water god answered Cohen with a smile, and gently pointed his finger.
He put it on Cohen's ear, but looking at the sincere expression on Cohen's face, how could he be willing to squeeze it hard?
"It's true that His Excellency the Water God is tens of thousands of years old, but how can he be regarded as my elder?" Cohen has always been cunning, how could he let someone put a junior's hat on his head casually, "The so-called elders must at least look after him.
When the juniors grow up, they are always caring and caring. They never hesitate to give them what they ask for. They are the kind of people who will not punish the juniors if they do something wrong..."
"Is this what counts as an elder?" After listening to Cohen's words, the smile on the water god's face became even thicker. "Excuse me, Your Highness Cohen, if I watched you being born and saved your life when you were a child, I would count it as such.
Doesn’t it count as your elder?”
"We are discussing a serious issue." Cohen looked at the Water God seriously, "Don't talk nonsense!"
"Because we discovered His Highness's characteristics when His Highness's mother was pregnant, we have been with Him every step of His Highness's life. Your Highness Cohen still thinks that he is born with no danger of any danger?" Water God let go.
Cohen's ear, his finger pointed at Cohen's forehead again, "You little rascal, you almost drowned in the moat when you were six years old, fell out of a tree when you were eight years old, and you didn't even think about it when you made a bet and climbed the cliff.
, why do you catch grass roots and branches every time you reach out? When you were ten years old..."
"That's enough, that's enough, my beloved elder." Cohen glanced at the expressionless white figure, grabbed the water god's hand, and rarely admitted defeat in his life, "We can communicate these things privately, there is no need to do it now.
explain……"
"Are you finally willing to admit it? It's really not easy! I am the youngest among the four gods, and there are always people who bully me because of their age. Now I finally have a junior!" The Water God was very proud, clapped his hands and said, "But
, Your Highness should always call me sister!"
There was an elder sister for no reason. Cohen was a little bit dumbfounded, but he couldn't do anything except nodding obediently. Bai Ying on the other side had been laughing in his stomach for a long time. Cohen kicked the iron plate.
, but it’s rare!
"I know so many secrets of His Highness, His Highness must be very strange, right?" The Water God was happy enough, and then he took Cohen's hand and continued walking upwards, "Actually, I have three clones, one is overseas, and the other is in the lake here.
, there is another one who has always been guarding His Highness. But in order to prevent the false gods from discovering it, this clone has almost no power and is not enough to interfere with human behavior, so when His Highness was injured at the altar of the Holy City, the clone was powerless. We are trying to find a way.
, but you were cured by the Dragon Clan."
"Now that I think about it, some things are really strange. When I know that my survival was not due to luck, I feel a little disappointed! Maybe for me, unknown things are more tempting!" Cohen shook his head.
, if you feel touched, say: "Thank you so much for taking care of me all the time. So is the third clone here now? Let her show up!"
"She stayed in the Holy City because not long ago, she found a suitable attachment partner who can take better care of you." The Water God smiled, "Don't be impatient. When you need her to appear, she will naturally do it."
Appear."
"In this way, I still don't understand a little bit." Cohen stopped, "Since the clone is always by my side, why don't I let her tell me everything? Why do I have to work so hard to find the answers to all the questions? If it had been earlier
Tell me, there are many things I can arrange more carefully."
"Although I am the Water God, I don't actually understand human struggles, but you, Your Highness, are different. One of your missions when you were born into the world is to fight against all living beings. Even if you are the one we are waiting for, we will
I have to wait until you have the ability to fight before I can see you and tell you something, otherwise your situation will become very dangerous. Not only will you not be able to help us, but you may even lose your life." The Water God replied sternly, "Now
Your Highness, you have an empire and the ability to fight with others, so we met. If you want to know more, you have to prove your ability in another aspect."
"Ability on the other hand?" Cohen scratched his head, "Is it the mischief and weirdness that I am best at?"
"No!" A strong male voice answered Cohen from the steps above, "The other aspect of the ability that the Water God mentioned is the ability that you have always hoped for, the ability to fight against false gods!"
This sentence was like a bolt of lightning, striking straight into Cohen's mind, causing his mind to tumble.
Looking up, there was a man on the first platform of the pyramid. At the moment before, there was nothing there, but he appeared in the blink of an eye.
"You see! This is the God of Fire." The God of Water took Cohen's hand and quickly walked up to the first platform and came to the God of Fire. "Lie Yan, don't you want to receive Cohen on the third platform?"
Your Highness? Why did you come to the first platform?"
"I'm just worried that you are playful and can't explain many things clearly." The Fire God moved to the side and distanced himself from the Water God, as if he didn't like to get too close to the Water God.
"You want to lie to me again. Don't I know about your fiery and impatient personality? You are obviously eager to see what His Highness Cohen is like." Water God said while poking Vulcan's arm with his finger, "Isn't that right?
?Yes or no?"
Every time the Water God's finger pokes, a little white smoke will appear on the Vulcan's arm, and his brow will twitch. His footsteps keep moving, and he has reached the edge of the platform, but his face is full of honesty.
The helpless expression of the unreasonable little girl made Cohen secretly laugh. Fortunately, after a while, the water god got tired of poking, so he asked the fire god to come over and talk to Cohen.
"His Royal Highness Cohen is well, I am the God of Fire." The God of Fire is a young man with red hair, a tall body and a very powerful look. "We have been waiting for your Highness to come for a long time. We have been looking forward to this moment for a long time.
After twenty years, with the blessing of the source of life, you have finally grown strong enough to take on the mission. Please be ready to accept the test, Your Highness!"
"I am Cohen Keda." After dealing with the God of Vulcan concisely and saluting again, Cohen looked at the two gods in front of him and used selective amnesia magic, not answering the God of Vulcan's words about accepting the test at all, "
I finally met the legendary ancient god, so what’s next? Should everyone celebrate with a drink?”
"Your Highness is joking." Vulcan replied seriously, "We are fulfilling our mission and accompanying His Highness up."
"Is it just a matter of walking up?" Cohen looked up, "Although the stairs are a bit long, there's no need for both of you to accompany me, right?"
"Because His Highness is the first guest here, we don't know exactly what will happen on the way. It is possible that His Highness will be able to go up soon, but it is also possible that he will never be able to go up." Vulcan shook his head, "
All the rules here were decided by the source of life before it fell asleep. We guard this place but have never experienced it. We have not even gone to the highest level. Although we have high hopes for His Highness, in fact, we can't help much. All possibilities
It's all in His Highness's own hands."
"Your Excellency Vulcan is saying that this pyramid has some secrets that even you don't know. No one has known about it for tens of thousands of years?" Cohen was a little unbelievable. "Even you haven't gone up to the highest level, so how do you know the secrets of life?"
Is the source still there?”
"All our power comes from the source of life. If something happens to her, we will no longer exist." The Water God explained with a smile, "There were some people who came in before, but they were not guests and could only stay in the house.
Go ashore outside. Even if you force your way onto the pyramid outside, there is only one ending. Knowing that His Highness is pressed for time, why not let’s talk while walking."
Cohen nodded and wanted to go up through the platform, but was blocked by an invisible magic barrier on the side of the platform. The Vulcan beside him stretched out his hand, "If you want to get to the second platform, you must uncover forty magic seals.
Your Highness, please come this way."
"Forty?" Cohen pursed his lips, followed Vulcan's footsteps, and complained: "Isn't the number a bit too much?
Vulcan led everyone to the other side of the pyramid, and finally stopped in front of a set of huge reliefs. Then facing the reliefs, he first stretched out his hand and pressed it on a protruding stone pillar, then turned to Cohen and said: "Your Highness, please
Put your hand on this raised stone, then close your eyes and calmly wait for the vision to happen."
"What happens after that? Am I going to disappear for no reason and never come back?" Although Cohen raised his right hand, he refused to put it down. "I think this kind of thing can be discussed...
"The Water God blinked, and Cohen's raised palm was pressed down by an invisible force. Before he could react, the skin of his palm came into contact with the cold surface of the relief.
Looking at the God of Fire on the other side, although he closed his eyes, the red hair on his head slowly stood up, and finally turned into flames with a "whoosh", rising violently and burning.
Although he knew that the other party was Vulcan, how could Cohen follow the instructions of "close your eyes and calm down" when he saw a living person with a fire on his head? His other hand pointed at Vulcan's head, his eyes widened with a strange expression.
Extremely—could this be what they call a “vision”?
Cohen was cooling off when he suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He lowered his head and saw a sharp tip of a knife coming out of his chest. After a while, a circle of bright red blood spread on the silver dress. When he turned his head, Cohen looked at him with doubtful eyes.
Catching a blank white figure, it was the dagger in her hand that penetrated Cohen's body. Although it was not clear what happened, the sharp blade that penetrated her chest was right in front of her. The severe pain did not come from the wound.
But it comes from deep inside, the pain of being betrayed by the person closest to you and whom you trust.
The hands on the relief supported his body, and Cohen gritted his teeth and said: "Bai Ying..."
"The one you should question is us, not her." The Water God was tidying up his clothes while changing his appearance, turning into a woman that Cohen had never seen before. "Cohen Keda
, at the last moment of your life, I will let you die in peace. Idiot, how can there be any gods in this world? There are only demon generals. I am the third demon general. This so-called fire god is me.
Assistant..."
"I, I don't believe it." After coughing out a mouthful of blood, Cohen shook his head. Although he had no strength, he said firmly: "Devil General, the Demon General will never come to kill me!"
"One of the tragedies of mankind is arbitrariness and rashness. How do you know that if the first demon general doesn't kill you, the third demon general won't come to kill you? Does it mean that the demon general must do things for the demons?" Third
The Demon General smiled coquettishly, "Besides, you died at the hands of your own maid, just like many emperors who died at the hands of women in the past... This can be considered a romantic story!"
"You came here to kill me on your own wishful thinking." Cohen covered the wound with his left hand and smiled, but on his pale face mixed with pain and anger, his expression at the moment already looked extremely ferocious, "But... this young master doesn't
He will die like this!"
"We spent so much manpower and material resources to lure you here. Of course we don't want the ending to be so simple. We also want you to watch us help you take revenge!" The third demon general smiled and said to Bai Ying: "Pull out the dagger.
.”
"Yes, Master," the blank-eyed Bai Ying replied, without considering the consequences at all, he slowly but resolutely pulled the dagger away from Cohen's body - immediately, the blood splattered from the wound dyed Bai Ying's white skin red.
The dress is shocking to the extreme.
