The mountains in the distance seemed to come alive. Amidst the loud noises, the outline of the mountains turned into a soft and loving giant face, with the snow as its long hair, the deep pool as its eyes, and the ridge as the bridge of its nose, looking towards Noel. Gaze in the direction where you are.
The creatures in the Holy Kingdom stopped playing and knelt down to the mountains. Some of the brave ones even peeked at Noel from time to time, wondering what kind of creatures could set foot in the Kingdom of God and allow the great Mother Goddess to bestow favors on them. .
Even though he had endless information in the information age in his mind, Noelle, who was immersed in the situation, was still slightly shocked by the picture displayed in front of him.
"Dear Mother Goddess of Earth and Noelle, a follower of the God of Wind, I would like to extend my most sincere greetings to you."
The girl lifted both sides of her skirt with both hands and curtsied to the mountains in the distance.
"Haha~" Big Face smiled, "What an interesting little girl, a believer of the God of Wind from another world? I like you more and more."
Before Noelle could say anything, the Earth Mother Goddess said again: "Actually, I paid attention to you the first time you came into this world."
Seeing the puzzled look on Noelle's little face, Earth Mother Goddess said: "Let me tell you a short story first."
Noelle looked like she was listening, her green eyes full of expectation.
Earth Mother Goddess said: "A long time ago, the world here was in chaos. The gods born from the unknown used violence to determine the size of their sphere of influence. After an unknown period of time, the gods got tired of fighting and decided to throw dice. to decide the outcome.
However, this method was too boring, and soon the gods got tired of rolling dice. So, the gods created the four-sided world, creating humans, elves, dwarves, gardeners, lizardmen, goblins, Demons and a series of other creatures.
After establishing the chessboard and chess pieces, the gods once again used the method of rolling dice to influence the movement of the "chess pieces". This is how the epic of the four worlds came into being.
Every time the gods throw, their creatures will go on adventures and experiences, sometimes defeating monsters, sometimes finding treasure chests, sometimes being happy, sometimes losing, sometimes succeeding, sometimes failing and dying.
The gods were immersed in it, and their emotions fluctuated with the creatures under their control. Once upon a time, the gods sincerely loved this world and them."
The Earth Mother God paused and then said: "Alton, Nita, and Serena were entrusted by the Earl of the Kingdom to go on an adventure to see if they would be killed by the Swamp Dragon Crocodile. I rolled the minimum value at that time.
This means they are certain to die."
The Mother Goddess of Earth carefully observed Noelle's expression. As she told about the birth of the Four Directions World, the girl's willow eyebrows frowned slightly.
"But your appearance has changed this established fact." Earth Mother Goddess said truthfully: "No matter how big or small the value of the dice we throw is invalid, it is invalid for you. You are completely independent from the board game and are an uncontrollable variable. And for every person and thing you influence, the value of the dice will also be affected."
"You are very similar to another person, but he is weak and cannot save the world or affect the changes in the world, so it is harmless. In addition, there is the 'brave'. She is also very special. Whatever is beneficial to her, the dice value They are all at the maximum value. Anything that is harmful to her is at the minimum value. She is a super lucky person, but even so, she acts within the rules of the chessboard. But you are different. You are not affected, but you affect the entire world. of great strength.”
Noelle said in despair: "So you are here to chase me away? Or do you want to kill me?"
"Of course not," the Earth Mother Goddess said gently: "You are the person I love, how could I do something like that? Since the game has changed, if you reach out to control the chessboard at will, you will be besieged by the gods."
Noelle added: "You once said, 'Once upon a time, the gods wholeheartedly loved this world and them.' Does that mean that the current gods don't like it anymore?"
A rich smile appeared on the exaggerated face of the Earth Mother Goddess, "It's not that I don't like it, but that I'm tired of it again. Day after day, year after year, and countless eras have passed. Even the Demon King's trick of reviving...
I have gone through countless rounds, how can the gods not get tired of such a game?"
"Didn't the Demon King only revive a dozen times?" Noelle wondered, this was different from what she had seen in the kingdom books.
"That is a record of the limited number of creatures on the chessboard. There was a god who could no longer endure this boring 'fun' and reached out and knocked over the chessboard, so that everything could start again."
The Earth Mother Goddess's very short explanation made Noelle shiver all over.
Overturning the chessboard? Does it mean that all living creatures in the four worlds died in an instant?
The Mother Goddess of Earth turned the page with such light words.
'This world is really hopeless.' Noelle sighed in his heart, 'Earth and Teyvat are better.'
The Mother Goddess seemed to understand Noelle's thoughts and said, "Girl from another world, why don't you believe in me in this world? I will give you endless divine light and glory."
Noelle was speechless. Doesn't this translated into adult language mean, 'Girl from another world, why not become my chess piece in this world?'
"Sorry, dear Earth Mother Goddess, my faith is the God of Wind, and this will never change."
"What a pity." The Earth Mother Goddess sighed: "The person I love, because of our almost identical powers, in the last time, I can grant you a wish."
"Then kill all the goblins." Noelle said casually, looking like he was angry.
"This is not an easy task." The Earth Mother God seemed to refuse.
"But you are a god," Noelle said: "A god who can control everything, can't you erase even the lowest level monster Goblin?"
"The gods must also act within the rules. Otherwise, if you break the rules rashly, you will risk your demise." As he said this, Mother Earth Myth changed her direction, "Unless the gods think so and the four worlds are shattered,
When we return to the chaotic world before, we will once again use violence to divide the forces."
"But I have already broken the rules." Noelle said: "The gods are tired of the game's script, why not change it to a new one?"
"Oh?" Earth Mother Goddess seemed to be interested, "Do you have any good suggestions?"
"Not yet." Noelle said firmly.
"What if all the goblins are killed?" The Earth Mother Goddess smiled half-heartedly.
"Maybe." Noelle breathed a sigh of relief.
"I will vote for you on the chess table," the smile on the giant face of the Earth Mother Goddess made of mountains became more and more intense, "as long as you can convince other gods."
"This is not an easy task." Noelle shook his head.
"If you don't do it, how will you know?" Earth Mother God encouraged: "Maybe it will be very easy? The gods are already tired of the current game, and the Demon King's script should have been eliminated long ago.
I'm even afraid that some gods can't stand it anymore, so I learned from the last god that he just flipped the chessboard.
In this case, I will lose many of my favorite things again."
The voice of the Earth Mother God became more serious, "This is something that I, and most of the gods, cannot accept."
"I'll do my best." Noelle seemed to agree, but also seemed not to agree.
"Don't worry, at least on the point of 'killing all the goblins', the Supreme God and I will support you unconditionally." Earth Mother Goddess said: "Go ahead and do it boldly and mess up the chessboard. But I hope, Don’t let too many lives get hurt.”
The Earth Mother God paused and then added, "The monsters are outside."
‘Supreme God’ Noel recalled carefully, it seemed that the ‘Sword Saint’, the bishop of the Supreme Temple favored by the Supreme God, had been defiled by a dirty goblin when he was young.
'Is it true that God loves the world?' Noelle wondered, 'Or is it that the God of this world only favors certain people?'
'Or maybe the God of Riddles, the Earth Mother God, has been lying all this time? But why lie? It's completely unnecessary.'
Noelle knew that the Mother Goddess had been playing riddles with her, constantly guiding her towards the ultimate goal, making her a false 'chess player'. In fact, she was still a 'chess piece' in the hands of the gods, but this one It's a chess piece that the gods cannot directly interfere with and use.
After all, she is just using her hands to accomplish certain things that are difficult for the gods to do.
Noelle was in a daze, 'I understand, if this is the case, all the gods are a group of "gods" who are obsessed with saving face.'
"Okay, little girl." Earth Mother Goddess said, "Is there anything else you're not satisfied with? Or do you have any other wishes?"
Noelle shook his head. Within the rules, the Earth Mother Goddess had no power at all. Otherwise, there would be no need to contact her through the temple bishop. Now she is just a pie painted by the other party.
"Finally," Earth Mother Goddess said, "can I know where you come from? What is the world outside this world like?"
Noelle repeated, "I am Noelle, a maid of the Knights of the West Wind, from the city-state of wind and freedom, Mondstadt."
"As for the outside world." Noelle said with rare seriousness, "It's better that you don't know about it. It's very scary."
The Earth Mother Goddess stared at Noelle, but she didn't notice the lie in her words.
"I understand." Earth Mother Goddess smiled and said: "Then take a good rest. It's time to find people from other temples. Little Noel, the one I love, must convince them."
The white light in the sky gradually swallowed up everything in front of him. When Noel came back to his senses, his consciousness had returned to his body, and the equipment around him was still the same. The difference was that the priests who had prayed before were nowhere to be seen.
She could still vaguely hear the noise outside.
"You are a bunch of damn turtles! You usually don't see anyone, but you run very fast at critical moments!" Outside the door, a girl wearing the costume of the Valkyrie Temple pointed at Ogusge and cursed: "You actually let the believers of the Valkyrie accept it. Aren’t you afraid that the gods will punish you because of the divine revelation of your Earth Mother Temple?!”
"What kind of believer is the Valkyrie?" Augsger said impatiently: "Noelle uses the power of the earth. She is a believer of the great Mother Goddess of Earth!"
"You fart! The Earth Mother Goddess is in charge of protection and will not grant believers the miracle of attack. The Valkyrie is in charge of attack. Just because Noel's weapon is enchanted with the lightsaber, she must belong to our Valkyrie Temple!"
"You!" Augsger was about to retaliate, but he heard the door click and was pushed open from inside.
The scene fell silent instantly.
