What is above the clouds? In the oldest religious mythology of mankind, there is the realm of the true God and the final destination of mortals. Above the clouds is the kingdom of the gods. The gods are always watching you.
"Mom, the pastor said that the gods are watching us from above the clouds, but there are so many people below, can they see us? If the key can see us, then aren't they covered in eyes? It's so scary."
In a square, a certain outspoken kid said this. That afternoon he was tied to the stake and executed for blaspheming the gods.
That was the famous "Little Tom's Truth". In the future, it evolved into a false and public challenge to authority, and became an important trigger for the religious reform of the Church of the Gods.
As for what is on the clouds, the first batch of sky knights who have been above the clouds will wisely avoid talking about this issue.
In modern times, some things can no longer be concealed, and the fact that God's realm is in an alien plane has been revealed before our eyes. The so-called "gods watch over everyone" has become nothing more than empty talk in classics.
Gods are not omnipotent. Altars and churches are the places where their will comes. If they chant their real names, they may be able to hear them. Other consultations can only be informed through prayers involving priests and bishops. Of course, they will really come.
It is also possible to incarnate or send a divine envoy down to earth, but the cost is really high.
The unknown and distance bring awe, and the struggle for divine power and royal power is never-ending. Although the interpretation of the mysteries of the gods has always been taboo, countries have never stopped privately.
The era of having an agent of the true god behind every country is over. The gods of this generation have given humans more freedom, but it is foreseeable that with the beginning of the Holy War, the space for freedom will inevitably become smaller and smaller.
The less.
Holy war has become a historical necessity. The gods of order do not even need to issue an oracle, and all countries have already begun to prepare for war. After all, the other party has already fought.
In this holy war, various new types of air units will also usher in a spurt of development. The Oran Empire's floating fleet may be unprecedented, but it will definitely not be unprecedented. The taboo restricted areas in the past have been opened to mortals.
But it is not easy to reach above the clouds. Even if there is no such taboo, the high altitude above the clouds is still a restricted area for ordinary air cavalry. After all, low temperature, hypoxia, and low pressure are combined together, even if a strong mount can withstand it,
Most of the knights on it will die.
At this time, I was soaring alone in the sea of clouds. It was like running on land, Irene Bella transformed into a Pegasus, and the surrounding ice crystal barrier isolated me from the surrounding low pressure and lack of oxygen.
The low cold in the sky is nothing in front of the ice. The advantage of the magic mount is very obvious, but there is nothing empty above the clouds. The turning of the mountain-like cloud whale in the distance is like a stunning scene. It makes people tremble.
The Cloud Whale is not so much an animal as it is a mixture of half wind element and half creature. He is at least ten times larger than his relatives in the sea. When he moves, he can stir up strong winds and seas of clouds. Even the God of the Wind Element can
There is nothing that can be done about such a behemoth.
It is said that the ships and cities of the Blackwings are also built in the clouds. They are a famous Yunzhong clan. But unfortunately, they have been deprived of the right to fly and have become pirates. They cannot appreciate the strange lifestyle of the Yunzhong clan.
, I have always been very sorry.
[System prompt: You won’t have to regret it soon. I hope you will still be in the mood to enjoy the scenery.]
Still ignoring the system that suddenly jumped out, I turned my attention to the cloud scene not far away.
The clouds and mist are filled with all kinds of strange-shaped clouds. They are changing all the time. Some are like mountains, some are like trees, and some are like giants. This is like the waves in the real ocean. They are constantly changing themselves during the contact.
form.
Not all clouds are constantly changing. Under the influence of magic, some clouds will not change at all for hundreds of years. However, those relatively stable nests are the homes of cloud beasts, and the residents there do not welcome us very much.
arrival.
Even though we were running, we were still chasing a group of cloud beasts behind us, most of which were friendly cloud dolphins. They came to watch the fun. As a predator, the little cloud dragon also chased us, which was a bit embarrassing.
It smells like death.
Although it is called Yunlong, it is actually a small pterosaur that is only one meter long. Obviously, these sharp-toothed little guys have no regard for strength and intend to use us for extra meals.
Although Erinbella is still far from the heyday of transforming into a frost dragon, she can easily take care of these little things by turning water into ice.
But I just patted her slightly to signal her to speed up and get rid of them.
"Ouch!"
After a low roar, the wings of the Pegasus spread out, and the entire body of the horse turned into rainbow light, suddenly widening the gap.
"Master Roland, are you happy?"
"Well, I am indeed very happy. Did you find out?"
Of course I'm very happy, otherwise I wouldn't be in the mood to hang out in the clouds. If I have to hurry, low altitude is obviously more suitable.
As for the reason for happiness...
In order to prevent real secrets from being leaked, I did not include high-level planning and plans in the courseware. All they can see are tragedies that may happen in the future. In addition to undead natural disasters, demon invasions, and underground wars, the courseware
The reason and timing of the war are not even mentioned, let alone how to deal with it.
What they can know now is probably that they will encounter a series of catastrophes in the future, and I am working hard to solve these troubles. How to solve them, and what my chances of winning are are all unknown.
I am inviting my companions, but it seems that this invitation lacks sincerity.
Nodding in such a situation where the future is completely unknown is equivalent to putting the future in my hands. It requires more than a little bit of trust, and it takes time to build trust.
I can understand their hesitation and silence. Their words can make people lose their lives, and they only exist in unreasonable novels.
If someone in real life said to me, "The world is about to be destroyed. Only by trusting me can you gain salvation. Leave all your possessions to me." If I didn't slap him a few times, it would be considered kind.
"Perhaps this is what fate has given me, Lord Roland. I am willing to serve you. If destruction will eventually come, we will face it together."
Okay. The plot where the tiger's body was shocked and the younger brother came to vote only exists in novels, but in the end, a silly girl jumped out and slapped him in the face.
Paladins are always the easiest group to fool, and Diana is probably the easiest to fool among the Paladins. Her agreement was undoubtedly a good start, but what followed was still a long silence.
"Lord Roland, there is actually a lich in Sulfur Mountain City with this name. His relationship with you..."
Silver Hook Bea's question seemed insignificant, but speaking out at this time attracted everyone's attention.
I hesitated for a moment. Since I was going to deal with it honestly, it was better not to talk nonsense at this critical moment.
"It's me, but the reason for the transformation and resurrection cannot be said."
"Which legendary paladin from more than three hundred years ago? The legendary hero that the group of single-cell knights talk about every day? The last prince who left a heavy mark in history?"
This is a very good question. It seems that these guys have been messing around every day these days, but in fact they are not idle. At least they have collected intelligence and are making plans for the future.
I'm afraid that if I don't make up my mind immediately to keep people, someone will leave voluntarily once they reach a safe zone.
"It's me too, but I still can't say the reason."
My admission made many people take a breath of cold air. The companions who used to fool around together suddenly transformed into legendary heroes.
But the legendary historical hero is right in front of him. He still lives together every day. While it is shocking, it also makes people wonder why he has lived incognito in the Sulfur Mountain City for so long.
"Last question, what is the relationship between Mr. Sleepless Man and you?"
"Companion, we have the same goal and the same means. In a sense, we are as close as one person. But since it comes to this level, those who choose to withdraw later will have to sign a confidentiality contract."
Although there is a bit of word play, it is still true. We are the same person, and we are naturally as close as one person.
Silver Hook looked at the silent Corus. The bishop of the God of Law hesitated for a moment, but still nodded to acknowledge the authenticity of my words.
"Okay, I can also make the decision on my brother's affairs. Our Security Chamber of Commerce is on you, so you can do whatever you want. But if it's a business transaction, remember to pay! Goblin's famous saying is, 'You can settle accounts wisely!'"
This time, it was my turn to be surprised. The money-grubbing and selfish goblin had been the most difficult target to convince from the beginning. I had planned to let him stay out of it and count it as a victory, but he just nodded for the second time. It was completely unexpected.
outside.
"Is there anything to be surprised about? Lich Roland has been our brother for many years, and Lord Sleepless Man is the big man we admire the most. Since you all say that destruction is coming, do you still need to hesitate to find a trustworthy backer?"
Ultimately, it's still a question of trust. Even if the doomsday is approaching and staying together is the best option, if you find the wrong tree to block the sky, you're going to become cannon fodder.
At that time, Yin Gou and Bea agreed. The direction of the wind changed so quickly and became so suitable that I even doubted whether Yin Gou had set it up, but his choice undoubtedly played a vital role.
"I listen to Brother Silver Hook, and I also trust Lord Wu Mianzhe's decision. I know that his ascension to the gods is not without reason. Perhaps, we are all on the chessboard, but I trust Wu Mianzhe as a chess player. He will not
Let us sacrifice in vain." As soon as Kabala finished speaking, the voice of the dwarf blacksmith also sounded in the cabin.
"Since that's what Mr. Sleepless Man means, just tell him if you have something to say. It's enough for us to believe him. And we are short but we are not blind. Without your help, we would all be drowned in prison now, right?
We remembered the favor."
Up to this point, it's pretty normal. But then...
"Momo...Momo loves Lord Sleepless Man the most." Well, you may have discovered the formula of Sleepless Man = Lich Roland = Little Luoluo, but what is the confession that was sneaked in during the chaos?
What's the meaning.
"Do you care about the food?" "Dish, you idiot, just care about the food! Well, sir, is there meat in the rice? Once every three days is enough." As long as the food is enough, Cavinsh should be considered the best to bribe.
of.
"How is it possible! There are so many beauties in this world that have not been touched, how can it be destroyed, for the sake of more beautiful beasts...beauties, we will do it! No matter who it is, as long as he intends to destroy this beauty and
In this cruel world, I will fight with him until my last breath."
This should probably be a normal reaction to knowing that the world is about to be destroyed. But this is the first time in so many years that I have seen Bei Feng so serious, and the faint light of his soul actually shows that he is realizing and breaking through the bottleneck.
The legendary beast hunter is about to be born!
"I was wrong. In the past, our understanding of love was too one-sided. To love someone does not necessarily mean to have him. To protect all beautiful existences is my true wish. Love has no boundaries, and goodness is like water! Goodbye, yesterday
The me, the me today, will understand the secret of true love."
"Heart of fraternity and guardianship! I vow to protect all charming beings, regardless of their race. Regardless of their age, regardless of their gender, regardless of their occupation, regardless of whether they are cold-blooded creatures or warm-blooded creatures, no matter where they come from, no matter where they come from.
Whether it's alive or dead. Whether it's an arthropod or a mammal..."
This... This is true to its name, it is too philanthropic. I have heard the oath many times. The advanced legend is a summary and understanding of the past life. The oath of enlightenment after advancement is often the mantra of that person's great enlightenment.
But this is the first time that it is so incomprehensible.
"...It doesn't matter if it's a bird or a beast. It doesn't matter if it's a fork or a spoon..."
This oath is really long enough, but why does it seem more and more wrong the more I hear it?
"Ah, hit! Look at my tiger folding stool!"
"I can't stand it anymore, beat him!"
"Safety brand bricks are on sale, please look for this green trademark! Safety brand products are so safe! Boom! Boom!"
The last thing is not an advertisement, but an explosion sound, which can make the bricks explode. How did you do it, Beyer brothers?
Obviously, because of the unscrupulous oath of guardianship, someone couldn't stand it anymore and started beating Bei Feng on a daily basis.
".....It doesn't matter if it's an egg or a hen, it doesn't matter if it's S or M...."
Okay, let us ignore the oath that is becoming more and more difficult to hear. I am afraid that this is the only one who has advanced to legend while enjoying being beaten.
Although he was still fooling around as usual, it had to be said that the originally solemn atmosphere was no longer serious after being made such a fuss by the sad wind, which also facilitated the subsequent communication.
Should we say that Sleepless Man's reputation is big enough? After learning that this was the will of Sleepless Man, the God of Law, the living treasures in the dungeon readily joined one by one, but then they encountered the expected rejection.
"Can I follow temporarily? Decisions like this take time."
Cui Xisi's decision was quite polite, and the vast majority of Oran people made the same decision, but there were still many Oran people who had already made applications to disembark after hesitation. The only good thing was that there were not many of them.
The accumulation of trust takes time. I agreed to the proposal of Cui Xisi and others and just followed. It was normal to be ready to board the ship at any time, but I did not intend to force anyone to leave the ship.
"Well, sign a confidentiality contract with me and let you get off the ship, but you are not allowed to return to Oran within a year, otherwise it will be difficult for you to explain your sudden disappearance and reappearance. You yourself don't want to be imprisoned in the dungeon of the intelligence agency.
Force a confession."
The final result was better than expected. As long as the seventeen people insisted on disembarking, they were all newly recruited talents before Kagxi was destroyed.
It can be said that this persuasion operation was completely successful. How could I not be happy and overjoyed immediately?
"When the staff from the Law Church headquarters arrive, and when my knights arrive, with these guys as the backbone, maybe many things will be different, and maybe we can build a good place. A sulfur mountain city on the surface? It seems to be a good choice.
.”
Of course, no matter how happy I am, if I am just happy, I will not be allowed to go out for a walk alone. There is a reason why I travel alone.
We have arrived at our destination, and the huge collapsed stone lion mouth is still fresh in our minds. The events related to this location are resurrected in our minds. That "rebellion" completely subverted all the high-level undead's understanding of their own tribe.
Near the entrance, two familiar figures were wearing large black cloaks. They lowered their heads and were busy among the ruins, seeming to be looking for something at the door.
"Camisias, Findak, why are you here?"
Yes, the two figures in front of me are my knights Camisias, Findak, and the Lord of the Undead. They often have an inexplicable connection with their direct subordinates. It was because I felt that they were here that I hurried here.
.
"Your Highness, we originally went all the way north after receiving the order, but Master Best said that the seal here was loose, so he asked us to come and take a look."
The high-level nightmares of the Headless Horseman do have the ability to fly, and Fendak is an ice knight, so two aerial knights are indeed a very suitable choice for reconnaissance.
"Your Highness, Omar's seal has really been lifted. It seems that it was the Siro Empire that did it. They are simply seeking their own death!"
----------
"Passing a parliamentary resolution, from now on, Omar Lan will replace the missing Banshee King Heloise and become the new Third Consul!"
On the bulletin board outside the parliament, there was shocking news. A "newcomer" suddenly stood at the forefront of the Ciro Empire.
The undead people who didn't know Omar were asking who this guy who suddenly appeared was, while those who knew Omar were cursing the madness of the parliament.
"Damn it, is the Council planning to completely exterminate the living? Aren't they afraid that Omar will riot again? Now that the Emperor of Eternal Night is not here, who can suppress that crazy arrogance!"
-------------
I've almost guessed what happened since I discovered the location of the two knights, but it's only been confirmed now, but it's still super bad news.
Immediately, my good mood, which was still in the clouds just now, fell to the bottom.
But now that the seal has been lifted, there is no point in staying here.
Since the destination was the Principality of Donglan, I simply took the two knights back the same way and met the Northern Lights at the agreed entrance to the sea.
The journey back was relatively smooth, but when we arrived at our destination, we found that the Northern Lights was entertaining "guests".
A huge eight-clawed octopus wrapped around the hull of the ship, and poisonous ink dyed the entire sea black.
On the other side, a narwhal was hitting the ship crazily. The white horn carried the power of colorful elements, which was adding to the power of the collision.
At that moment, I immediately knew the reason why I was blocked by two sea monsters.
"Haha, damn you bastard, there is no place where I can die easily! Since I didn't die, you will!"
The laughing crow in mid-air only had half of its feathers, and its face was completely burned. It was shockingly ugly, but the familiar drake voice made me recognize him at once.
"The Dead Cockroach No. 1 of the Astrology Tower, the Eye of Rum of the President of the Oran Empire Branch! You really have a tough life."
That day, during our assault, we were hit by a strategic-level fireball from the Mage Tower. We were in such a hurry to retreat that we didn't have time to confirm the outcome of the battle.
"The Storm Queen gives me power! I am the Eye of Rum! Your most loyal servant!"
It seemed that he was worried about being hit by the cannons below. He was already floating in the sky, and the magic staff with divine power was accumulating power in the thunderstorm. He seemed to be looking for help to control the sea monster below, but I was already around the clouds.
"Shh~ Look, what did I find? There is a lone Astrologer here, we can try to capture it. A Astrologer can provide us with energy for several days. They are rich in protein, but the Astrologer
It is not easy to deal with. They are tenacious and can escape very quickly. Like their cockroach brothers, they are extremely difficult to catch. Therefore, we approach it slowly from above and be careful not to make any noise."
"Hey, I caught it, it was struggling hard!
"We cut off its head and the rest of the body can be eaten raw."
"Of course, if time is not tight, we can bake it first, it will be more delicious."
"Well, they taste good, just like chicken."
"Smelly Roland, stop dubbing nonsense, Irene won't eat this kind of thing! It will cause diarrhea!"
