Chapter 817: Selene, who is always looking for trouble
Although the undead are also going to Calishan, their apparent employer, Vera, is only affected by her will, rather than being directly controlled... It is impossible for her to take the initiative to help the followers of Amaunata, let alone
May pay for Amaunator's wars.
At most, it can be a side help...for example, you happen to be interested in a forest occupied by air monsters, and these air monsters happen to be fighting Amaunator's followers.
Both Hill and Selune are very aware of Shar's hostility towards Amaunata. She would signal Tethyr's Night Believers to cause trouble in the middle. That's normal...but what does this have to do with them?
?
What Selune wants to protect is only the sun, not Amaunata who was born in the sun... Anyway, if the sun god is tricked by Shar, he will just fall asleep again.
As for Hill, with the undead around, Vera would be frightened at most, but the danger would not be...except for Shar and Selûne, there are not many people in Toril who can deal with this little flower fairy, Amaunata.
The cup's control over her has not reached the point where it can affect her life.
Hill lowered his head and pondered for a while, and realized that the Tethyr nobles' idea of exchanging financial aid for future local power would probably succeed... The Stone of Destiny would not allow Amaunata to be resurrected so easily... Even without Lan
Sendel, there will be other troubles that Amaunata will have to struggle with.
The resurrection of the god has to contend with not only his enemies, but also many unexpected troubles... It is an accident that cannot be prevented no matter how much preparation is made.
This ending is not bad. Although the resurrection will be accompanied by the never-ending struggle for interests and conspiracies and harassment in the world, it is better than the hostility of Lansendre who always wants to understand what is going on.
Hill always felt that if the normal timeline was followed, the cause of Toril's next destruction would probably not be Mystra who was assassinated again, but Ransander who finally understood the truth and wanted to teach Amaunata a lesson...
...That guy really dares to attack the sun.
So this is good, at least even if Amaunata is tricked to death by Shar in the end, it will not affect the safety of the entire world... Anyway, he can be resurrected again, which just saves him having to compete with Tyr for the priesthood of law.
Although the war in Calimshan seems to involve two forces, in fact it will only be the believers of Amaunator who will appear on the frontal battlefield... This country with the worship of the djinn actually has very obvious traces of sun worship... Only
However, the influence of the goddess of magic is too strong, so they dare not worship her in public.
But there are many buildings in Calimshan with some sun patterns... Such a country is indeed the easiest place for Amaunata to win over.
This summer solstice ceremony did not last long... Most of the little goblins with the ability to perform arts actually left Toril with the Joyous Court. As this was the first celebration hosted by Vera, she only allowed little goblins to perform this time.
Goblins sign up... The Royal Court of Joy is probably holding its own Summer Solstice celebration now, but it probably won't last too long. After all, artists from other races can't be invited this time.
As for the little flower fairies who receive the applicants, they will also make a preliminary evaluation, and only those who pass the test can perform... So it may be boring, but there will definitely not be any weirdos who are tone-deaf and uncoordinated. ...Although they have many minor problems and occasionally lie to themselves, they will never embarrass their eyes and ears.
However, this was also a carnival that lasted for 24 hours. Although in the world of goblins, it can only be said to be too short, the onlookers were already satisfied. If there were not other outstanding performers as comparison, those hymns alone If you listen well, you won't feel bored, after all, the little fairy's voice is really beautiful.
At the last moment of the celebration, Vera sat on the throne and hesitated for a while before choosing the swan fairy between a group of little dancers and a swan fairy with a voice as beautiful as nature's... She had no creation of her own at all. With a sense of history, he stepped down from the throne neatly and put the sparkle ring in his hand on the head of the surprised little fairy.
As a swan fairy transformed from a human, she spends most of her time at the lowest level of the goblins... It is a rare thing to be allowed to participate in the ceremony and present her performance to the queen, let alone get the highest reward. !
Touching the wreath above her head, the beautiful little fairy burst into tears almost instantly. She finally felt that her decision to give up her human identity in order to protect those lovely forest elves was not so wrong... Before that , many swan fairies feel that they are too stupid because of the terrible discrimination of the Fairy Court.
It was because they had goblin friends that they gave up their status as human rangers, accepted the invitation from the Swan Fairy God, and transformed themselves into swans to try to protect their friends... It was because of this belief that they could persevere. Today, I found relief in Vera's equal treatment.
It's not that they didn't do a good enough job, it's that the Joyous Royal Court is incompatible with them... The Swan Fairy finally understood why their main god decided to leave the outer court and move back to Toril. She thought that Princess Ella was following her. Oberon once saved her life... Anyway, they usually fly patrols in the forest wilderness of Toril to protect the little goblins who live alone from being harmed. There is no need to stay in the Shade House to watch that. The white eyes of the nobles.
Vera didn't realize what she had done. She just followed the conventions of the celebrations she had participated in... At that time, the royal court of the goblins was still on the land of Toril, and their style of doing things was relatively simple... and gave it away again. Each of the group of little dancers has a ring attached with the spell of freedom of movement.
Then she gave each of the bards a pen that would never run out of ink... After discovering that Vera didn't mind what tune they sang, these bards took the risk and used the country tunes they created, Then it was greatly praised by Vera... The little flower fairy likes unique, not boring, eternal hymns.
Vera's summer solstice celebration this time has actually shattered the supremacy of the goblin nobles that Titania had built over tens of thousands of years.
As the queen who presided over the most important Xia Zhi celebration in the goblin country... Vera happily announced that her inauguration ceremony was completed... The undead onlookers were in an uproar. They didn't quite understand why the celebration was so grand.
The Queen's inauguration ceremony included only one sentence announced by herself.
But for the goblins, the summer celebration is the prelude to the queen's coronation ceremony... participating means that they recognize Queen Vera.
Hill and the gods who were watching all understood the consequences of Vera's actions this time... She would definitely gain the enthusiastic worship of all the civilian goblins who knew how to resist.
But Vera only focused on checking the gifts she received... Having stayed in Aglaia all year round, she knew very well that only enough money could make the undead do real work.
She didn't want to go back to Aglaia crying to beg Hill and Oberon... That would be too embarrassing. Vera would rather give up this trip to Calinshan than go home crying and begging her parents for help.
waste.
Satisfied, he rewarded the gift contributor with the most votes with several exquisite but low-value magic items... Vera generously allowed the undead to watch and also voted... Hill looked at those exquisite and artistic items.
The gifts were finally weighed down by some strange and interesting gifts... He cast a sympathetic look at Vera on the screen.
If Vera still lets the undead vote next year, she probably won't receive many normal gifts anymore... The goblins will probably think that their queen prefers interesting things rather than expensive ones.
If Vera still wants to make money from celebration gifts, she'd better learn to be more arbitrary... It all depends on popular voting, and there are thousands of undead in it... Her future will definitely be bleak.
"How many assassins have you caught trying to kill this little fairy queen?" Selune asked Hill curiously.
She had long noticed those windless and automatic vines... almost every movement they made bitten a tiny person.
Although Vera was quite cautious and brought Windmill Jasmine with her, it was a pity that no little assassin could break through Hill's heavy defense.
"What a strange race." Shar also said, "Why don't you blend into the crowd of performers? What opportunities can you find in the audience? Only by walking to the stage can you get closer to the little queen, right?"
Hill could only explain with a smile: "The goblins who will assassinate Vera for Titania, which is far away in the star realm and completely cut off from news, must be the ones who stick to the tradition the most... but the performance of the summer solstice celebration is the most important thing for the goblins.
On the stage, any goblin who dares to cause trouble in this matter will definitely be despised by the entire race.
Even if it is not a summer solstice celebration held by the queen they admire, they cannot violate this traditional belief formed over hundreds of thousands of years.
And the little elf who is really that rebellious will not choose to sacrifice his life for Titania even if he does not believe in Vera."
Hill found that compared to Selune, who occasionally looked at the bustling people, Shar didn't understand the goblin race at all...at most, Titania and Oberon, who had medium powers, would make her take a second look.
Most of the time, the Night Goddess only pays attention to existences that can cause her trouble or can be used by her.
So who does William count? Hill secretly thought to himself: Trouble can still be used?
Selûne suddenly said in a delicate and artificial tone: "Look, Shar. No matter how weak the race is, the gentle and kind goddess is more loved!"
Hill tensed up instantly and couldn't help but glance at his crystal flower.
