Volume 7 Mortals and Gods Chapter 785 The War Begins
"Finally, I used my magic to detonate the fire oil abandoned by Oliver and the others..."
Goodwin told the female mage the last part and told her that he met Solomon, the expedition knight from Batoria.
"I didn't meet them, but I heard from Wilt that they were indeed besieged by orcs again on the way down the mountain, and it was an expeditionary knight who saved them."
Vivian nodded. She and Emilia did not catch up with the escaping caravan. The female mage relied on the power of magic to directly slide the pine cones along the glacier and down the river.
Two hours after she arrived at Storm Fortress, the caravan arrived late and everyone was injured.
"Am I right? Banda?"
In order to verify, Vivian even turned around and asked Banda who was following behind the two of them.
"Ah? Uh...well, yes, it was that knight who saved us."

Banda was obviously in a state of confusion. He was stunned for a while before answering with a red face.
Neither of them paid attention to the strange situation of the little mercenary, but continued to talk about the terrible battle.
yes!
yes!
Why couldn't I think of that?
Pour the burning oil on the Minotaur and set it on fire!
After Banda heard how Goodwin dealt with the Minotaurs, more ideas emerged in his mind.
It's so simple, why didn't I think of it?
Banda had completely ignored the story of the bitter battle that Goodwin had told before. He only remembered that Goodwin threw strong fire oil and used a torch to detonate it, and defeated the Minotaur easily.
Yes, you should have thought of it, you should have done it, more voices popped up in his mind:

You were supposed to be favored by Ms. Vivian, but now everything is ruined!
No... no, Mr. Goodwin saved my life!
I can't do this to him!
But your time is running out. In a few days, Ms. Vivian will be separated from you!
What the little mercenary didn't notice was that blood began to appear in his eyes, and a feeling of hatred for everything and the desire to destroy everything gradually took over.
The road soon came to an end. After passing through the gravel path, a Storm War God Temple appeared in front of the three people. Goodwin stopped:
"I'm going to deliver the task. Let's meet again later."
"Well, I'll wait for you inside the Butter Hotel."
Vivian nodded. The Church of the God of War generally did not welcome women, and there was no need for her to get involved in such internal affairs. After agreeing to have dinner with Goodwin in the evening, she left alone.
Seeing this, Banda quickly followed, but Vivian refused with a smile:
"You don't have to follow me anymore, Banda, go do your own thing."
"But..." The little mercenary wanted to say something else, but when he looked up, he saw that the female mage had already walked away.
In the Temple of Storm God of War.
The white flames symbolizing the power of the Storm God of War are burning brightly in the brazier, and the entire temple is filled with various trophies and weapons.
The strong temple warriors are training. They are still wearing the simplest single clothes in the middle of winter. This is to show their strength, glory and courage to the Storm War God.
The priest of the temple knelt in front of the brazier and prayed as always. Behind the brazier was the cold statue of the God of Storm and War. He had been living like this for more than ten years, and today was no exception.
"The Storm God gives me strength, and may the white flame of the Wolf God shine on the Shire forever!"
For more than ten years, the pastor has been reading prayers every day.
For more than ten years, he knew that the answer to him was still silence.
At this moment, an accident happened. The white flames in the brazier exploded, and strong winds blew in the temple. The white door to the void opened in the temple, and a huge white wolf jumped out of the door. This was the God of Storm War.
The incarnation of the herald!
"Oh! My lord!"
The priest of the temple immediately led everyone in the temple to kneel down, with tears in his eyes. More than ten years of prayers have finally paid off. The God of War, God of War, Storm War, has arrived!
But they soon discovered that the Storm God of War did not come for them, because there was a knight standing at the door.
"Boy, you did a good job."
The white wolf spoke human words. It looked at the people kneeling around it and stretched out its furry paws:
"You all, please go out. I have something to tell him... Also, prepare five kilograms of cooked mutton and wine!"
"Yes!" Faced with the god's oracle, the priests obeyed in a low voice, and then left collectively.
Only White Wolf, the incarnation of Storm War God, and Goodwin were left in the house.
Goodwin first knelt down on one knee respectfully towards the Storm God, and then dedicated Tavus' head to it: "My Lord..."
"Well...I am very satisfied with your courage and belief."

The Storm War God nodded, motioned to Goodwin to put the head into the divine fire, then raised his head and said:
"You will be rewarded."
Goodwin's heart moved after hearing the reward, but there was no reaction on his face. Instead, he looked a little anxious: "Well, my lord, it's about the orcs..."
"Don't be impatient, kid. As my believer, you must know how to talk while eating."
The huge white wolf's tail swept back and forth, and Goodwin thought to himself that the white wolf looked like a husky.
Uh...you can't think like that, it's blasphemous.
But it really seems like it.
Just when Goodwin was thinking wildly, the priests brought in the cooked mutton and wine. The husky signaled Goodwin to enjoy it, and he also opened his big mouth and gnawed the mutton vigorously:
"Boy, do you want to know about the Beast God?"
"Yes."
"Can you tell me why you want to know about the Beast God?"
The husky gnawed off a large piece of mutton and chewed it wildly.
"Because... I'm curious, and because... well, I want to understand why they are so powerful."
Goodwin pretended to be hesitant, and then said slowly: "My lord, don't you think that whether they are dwarves, elves, or other creatures, they are stronger than humans, right?"
What Goodwin meant was simple.
Compared with dwarves or elves, humans have natural disadvantages. Elves can easily live for hundreds of years, and powerful elves can live for thousands of years. Some elves once proudly said that if it were not for the curse of the Phoenix Throne, our king would
It almost never ends over time.
This is not a lie, and dwarves are also long-lived species, and it is not a problem to live for hundreds of years.
Elves are born with a high affinity for magic, and dwarves are born warriors. Why are there no benefits to humans?
Only orcs and humans have similar lifespans, but orcs live in a harsher environment and their lifespan is much shorter than humans.
"Hmph! Young people always like to think about things. That's all. I'll tell you what I know. Listen up, kid. It's story time now."

Husky stuck out his tongue and then said: "Almost more than 10,000 years ago, a group of Titans came to this world."
Goodwin lowered his head to show that he was listening carefully and stopped talking.
"Was it 17,000 years ago? Or 16,000 years ago? I don't remember the exact number. In short, the Titans used the interstellar portal and came to this world."
The large husky seemed to be recalling the past. It swallowed the mutton in its mouth and continued:
"They look like they have smooth heads, long limbs and big bellies."
"The Titans have done a lot of things. I don't know how they created things. What I know is that they have brought and changed the planet's orbit to make the main plane more suitable for biological survival... In short, they first created some powerful magic.
creatures, and then created lizardmen as their servants."
"Elves and dwarves were also created, and you know their former glory, and then the Titans quickly left this world."
"But about 1,700 years ago, at the end of the Great Catastrophe, when Emperor Toril was conquering the world, the Titans hurriedly returned to this world again. They seemed to be avoiding something, but
I didn't escape after all.
Not long after they returned to this world, an earth-shattering explosion occurred at the portal located in the northern Kansas grassland. Whether the Titans escaped or all died in the explosion, no one knows, I know
Unfortunately, this explosion once again attracted evil beings from outside the crystal wall."
The husky stuck out his tongue.

"You mean, evil? Beast god?" Goodwin seemed to have a sudden realization.
"Yes, this is not the first time evil has come. The first time evil has come as you know is actually the second time.
The first time evil came and the orcs rose was not long after the Titans left. At that time, humans were still relatively weak. It was the servants created by the Titans who combined with the elves and dwarves to repel the orc army.
In order to repel the orcs, Alario, the first Phoenix King of the elves, even gave his life.
Finally, the elves created a maelstrom to drain away the evil wind needed for the arrival of the beast god, and then the powerful servants of the Titans used the 'Great Guardian' to close the portal."
The husky’s face is serious:
"But when the second advent came, the elves split into high elves and dark elves, and a desperate civil war was going on. At that time, I judged that the power of humans and dwarves alone was not enough to fight against the orc army, so I chose to come to the world in person.
