Chapter 234: Dont look directly at God and the ferrymans mission
The name of the city-state established by Alpanz was the Suinhor City-State Alliance. Suinhor means blood and fire.
It means that Alpans built this city-state in blood and fire, but it also has other meanings.
The blood represents the god who bestowed Alpans with the gift, and the fire represents the inheritance of the Fire Protector City.
Alpanz is a charming figure and a natural general and commander. He is able to lead his followers and subordinates to victory.
However, he is not good at governing the country.
After he established the city-state of Suinhor, he was at a loss as to how to govern the people under his rule.
But Alpans also has a good habit. He is able to recruit talents he recognizes to govern the country for him. He uses his personality charm to use others to serve himself.
He appointed talents who came to serve him to build a new city-state bureaucracy, using them to govern the city-state alliance and manage various complex affairs.
The bureaucracy system in the early days of the city-state was still very simple, just divided into three classes.
The highest level is the royal family, the family to which Alpanz belongs.
One is the oath taker, that is, the person who swears allegiance to the king to the gods, and can also be called a noble.
There are also attendants, people who manage the city and territory for the king, various city lords, and territorial nobles.
Before, there was no complete system and title for aides-de-camp, but Alpanz divided the aides-de-camp into different responsibilities and handled different duties separately.
A palace that has been passed down from the time of the first Fire Keeper Arsini.
From inside to outside the temple, there were crowds of people today.
"Do you want to take an oath today?" Outside the palace, the snake man twisted his tail and walked past the pillars, looking inside with envy.
"Why are there so many people here?" A snake man looked curiously at the people who kept walking into the palace.
"There are so many scholars and craftsmen, what are they doing?" A snake man noticed the identities of some of the people.
Those who entered the palace included followers who had sworn an oath to the King of Gods, as well as powerful people who were waiting to become new nobles.
Alpanz gathered a group of learned people in the palace, as well as skilled craftsmen from all over the world.
The craftsmen of this era were also very powerful and important figures, possessing important knowledge and inheritance.
Alpanz asked them to stand in the center of the palace, asked them one by one how to govern the country, and asked them to make good suggestions.
He asked the leader, a middle-aged snake man, to come forward and ask him what he could do for the city-state.
"What do you think I should do? And what can you do?"
The middle-aged snake man is holding a leather book in his hand. This is a recording method that some scholars like to use, recording words on the skin of tooth beasts.
It is both convenient to carry and easy to record.
"King of the Gods."
"I think the king should build fortress cities on several other important routes going south, so as to prevent people from the northwest tribes from attacking again."
"Only peace and stability are what we and the city-state need most right now."
This Alpanz also had some plans, but when the other party proposed it, he also had a better excuse to arrange for some people to go outside.
"Great, so what can you do?"
The middle-aged snake man replied: "I am a scholar, and what I am best at is recording history and writing."
"I think we should collect all the words and languages of the snake people and re-edit them. After so many generations, the language of the snake people has changed slightly from before, and there are a lot more words; in many places The writing and language passed down are very different from other places."
"It is very necessary to re-edit the classics and determine the official writing language."
Alpens ordered him to compile another book, called Suinhor's Dictionary.
"If you can do a good job, I can appoint you as the Recorder of the Royal Court."
Being a record-keeping official is not a small position. It is very noble in this era, and you can enter and leave the royal court at all times.
The next snake man came forward and saw that the former had indeed been appointed by Alpans. He was also very excited and excited.
He said with high spirits.
"O king of gods!"
"My family is good at harnessing the power of flames. I can smelt and cast bronzes, and others in my family can also make pottery."
"I think the king should promote technology and expand the workshops for smelting bronzes and the workshops for firing pottery."
"Weapons are very important. They determine the outcome of the war. Bronze vessels are even more needed when presenting gifts to the gods."
"And in life, we also need a lot of pottery."
"Our family is willing to follow the King of Gods and make pottery and smelt metal for the King from generation to generation."
Alpanz stood up and looked at the other party with great satisfaction.
"I am very satisfied that you can come to serve me."
"very nice."
"You can swear an oath to me and become my follower. From now on, you will manage the smelting and pottery workshops of the Fire Guard City."
Immediately afterwards, Alpans announced an order in front of everyone in the palace: "From now on, all people with skills can come to the palace to see me. If it is useful, I can reward money, official positions, and even become a king." All my followers can.”
Alpans probably didn't expect that his appointment would greatly change the current situation of the snake people.
Many technologies that changed the face of the city-state were constantly emerging because of his decree.
The third person was a rather serious and dull person, and he spoke directly when he came up.
"We should write a code of law."
"When the Fire Keeper City was established, the situation of the first generation Fire Keeper, Alsini, was completely different from ours now. The original code was completely inapplicable to the Suinhor City-State Alliance."
"We must revise and compile a new code based on the current situation."
Alpans also felt that it was very reasonable and ordered him to make further changes on top of the code of the Fire Guard City.
If he could complete this task, he appointed him as the code enforcer of the city-state.
Alpans received these learned people and skilled craftsmen one by one, appointed dozens of ministers, large and small, and conquered a large number of people's hearts.
He sent his followers to distant places to build new cities, and while opening up the land, he also guarded against the animal herding tribes from the northwest moving south again.
He vigorously promoted pottery and smelting, turning the snake civilization into a bronze civilization.
The city-state of Suinhor entered a period of stability because of Alpans, and the snake people in the south entered another period of rapid development.
And all this.
They were all noticed by another great existence above the sky——
Dream world.
Yin Shen sat in front of the stained glass window and watched the changes in the snake world.
Over the years, the snake people's group has expanded to a very large size, and they can be found all over the coast, jungles, and plains.
Whether in swamps or beside rivers, you can see the shadows of their communities.
They fished and hunted on the islands, they herded animals on the plains, and they cultivated fields on the land.
This rich world greatly reduces the difficulty of their survival.
The only thing missing is that they are scattered all over the place, and there is no one and no power to unite them.
The number has been established, and now with the establishment of the Suinhor city state by Alpans, the snake people in the south have been completely united.
Civilization is truly on the right track.
They truly transitioned from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age and had what a real civilization should look like.
At least, the snake people tribe in the south already have such signs.
Yin Shen put down the mirror and suddenly looked outside the window.
His hand touched the hollow carvings on the seat, which were exquisite and gorgeous.
This was created by the dream demon Sheila with the power of miracles, and it is also her favorite style.
"Maybe we can start."
the other side.
The ferryman rides a small boat and roams in the dreamy sea of stars, as if entering and sleeping.
He lay quietly on the boat, leaning his head against the side of the boat.
One strange dream after another passed by him, and colorful mottled lights were projected from the dream, falling on the boat and the ferryman.
The ferryman's body turned transparent bit by bit under the light.
Suddenly he was floating.
Like a light and transparent jellyfish, slowly floating up in the sea water.
At this time, it can be seen that the ferryman has no body, and his transparent body is constantly twisting under the pull of the starlight.
It is also like a weightless mass of water, swaying with waves as it moves.
He is a spirit through and through.
If he appears in the mortal world, he will probably dissipate soon. Before then, he must find a carrier or rush back to the dream world.
This is the limit of the myth of wisdom.
Not long after the ferryman woke up, he automatically became a myth of wisdom.
Or it can also be said to be a fifth-level demigod of wisdom.
he knows.
All of this is a gift from Sheila, the master of dreams, and God. If Sheila hadn't let him embark on the path of wisdom before leaving, he would have been annihilated in the moment of crossing the long river of time.
He also knew that his so-called power was not worth mentioning in front of the three great beings on the God-given Island.
The myth of wisdom and power possesses four unique powers.
[Incomplete Immortality: The myth of wisdom has an unstable mythological form and cannot exist in reality. It must have a reincarnation carrier, and this carrier will not be able to exist for a long time because of your power. When it is damaged, you must enter
Next reincarnation.]
[The gift of divine magic: The myth of wisdom can bestow its magical power on others, allowing mortals to become their own priests, even if the mortal does not have any talent; but the person who bestows divine magic needs to match the corresponding conditions, otherwise it will just be because of
Unable to withstand the force and die.】
[Source of divine power: You are the source of divine power for priests, and each of your priests is a carrier of your reincarnation; when not all of your priests die, you will not really die. ]
[Gate of Desire: All the power of the myth of wisdom will overflow from the body and become a special door, which is related to your path to a higher level.]
Unlike the villain in the bottle, he has truly become a mythical being through the path of wisdom. His flaws and hidden dangers are much smaller than the villain in the bottle, and he is also much harder to kill than the villain in the bottle.
Once a true myth like his develops, it is not easy to put him to sleep, let alone kill him.
The boat and the ferryman are getting farther and farther away.
He gradually went further and further into the sea of stars, going deeper into it.
At this time, the ferryman suddenly woke up, and his figure was pulled back to the ship from the depths of the dreamy star sea in an instant.
He turned over and looked in the direction of the shrine.
God called him.
"Is...my mission coming?"
A little smile appeared on the ferryman's face, and his eyes were full of expectation.
There is also desire.
The ferryman boarded the pyramid temple and came to the main hall.
The god is sitting on the chair of Sheila, the master of dreams. He can't see clearly against the sunlight outside the window.
The light and shadow twist on the ground, just like the waves on the boundless sea.
The ferryman knelt down on the floor of the temple where the light and shadow were distorted, calling out to God.
"god!"
"I am coming."
Yin Shen looked at the ferryman and cast his eyes on him.
The origin of the ferryman is very strange. He was originally a cup of the sun and was planted at the burial place of the poet Tito. However, because someone disturbed the resting place of the poet Tito's soul, the ban was opened and he was rushed in.
Sea.
Immediately afterwards, because he swallowed the prince of the Volcano Kingdom, Whis Hotson, he possessed wisdom and omnipotence, which was transformed into the Cup of Desire.
The fairy Sheila in the dream ignited his power and made him a ferryman, but because he was trapped by nightmares, he could only have a black shadow, relying on the fairy's dream egg to exist.
Later, after King Henir died, he returned to the dream star sea, settled the cause and effect with him, and thus truly took on a half-human form.
He has an inseparable relationship with Weiss and Henir, but he is not the two of them.
No matter from which aspect, his birth is full of stories.
God asked him: "Do you have a name?"
The ferryman quickly replied: "My name is Ivar."
It means desire.
This name was obviously chosen by the ferryman himself, but Yin Shen felt that the name did not fit well: "I can't see desire in you, let alone feel those strong emotions."
Ivar raised his head and looked at God. He seemed to have something deep in his heart that he wanted to tell the supreme God Insai.
He is a myth of wisdom, and his sight is not so much a sight as a diffusion of spirit.
so.
The moment he raised his head, he was completely stunned.
His consciousness and spirit were burned by looking directly at the true form of the god, so much so that he lost consciousness for a long time. His spirit body burst into stardust and turned into a vortex spinning in the temple.
The ferryman felt that his consciousness was being dragged into the vast starry sky and into the boundless darkness.
at this moment.
He felt as if he was completely frozen, trapped in the long river of time.
A moment is like thousands of years.
Even eternity.
And when he was about to disappear into eternity, a word pulled him back.
The sound traveled through time in a superimposed state, catching up with the ferryman's consciousness and locking onto it.
The ferryman recognized whose voice it was.
It is the god Yinsai.
"Ivar."
"Your power has not yet pointed directly at the source. You cannot easily look directly at my true existence and form."
"When you looked directly at me when you were weak, you couldn't see the truth. You would only be shocked by the appearance and forget your memory."
"And you have become a myth. You can see the afterglow of my projection in the long river of time."
"At that moment."
"You will be truly dragged into the long river of time, and your consciousness will dissipate in eternal silence."
Only then did the ferryman's spiritual body regroup from the stardust vortex, and then he came back to his senses.
He quickly crawled to the ground and never dared to raise his head again.
"god!"
"Please forgive my presumption."
He could only answer while looking down at the ground, but you could see that he was filled with panic.
He even felt despair as he fell into the eternal abyss.
However, after tasting these two flavors, the ferryman had some aftertaste. This was an emotional power that he had never felt before.
Taking advantage of this feeling, he quickly began to answer.
"Insai God!"
"I named myself Ivar because I have never felt the power of desire before. It is precisely because I have no desire that I crave desire."
"I, want to feel it."
"I want to know what its power is, why it can make people feel alive, and what magical power it has."
Yin Shen understood what he meant and determined his pursuit.
He is a myth on the path of desire.
Yin Shen nodded and did not ask any more questions.
He told Ivar: "I called you here to give you a new mission."
The ferryman Ivar has been waiting for a long time: "O great creator Yinsai!"
"What do you want me to do?"
Yin Shen: "I hope you will go to the human world and plant prayers in the hearts of mortals."——
In front of the gate of the Kingdom of God, the ferryman stood quietly.
The golden ship returned from afar, inspected the entire dream world, and returned full of dreams of life.
The ferryman gently stroked the hull of the sacred ship, his companion who had spent countless years together.
He watched it slowly enter the door and enter the sea of stars.
And he still stands at the gate of the Kingdom of God.
He is making final preparations.
His original body had collapsed over the years, and because he lived in the dream world, he had not created a new body before.
His old body died and turned into a seed.
now.
He also threw the seed out.
"Go for it!"
A seed penetrated the light curtain and suddenly appeared in the mortal world.
It fell from a high place and penetrated the sea of clouds and the sky.
Finally he landed on an empty land.
It takes root in the soil and then slowly grows out.
It didn't take long for an extremely rare flower to grow on the ground. It had a dim black silver cup, and its whole body exuded strange light and power.
This is a cup of desire.
A variant of the Cup of the Sun soaked in the blood of the God of Wisdom.
The moment it really grew, a being from another world took over this body.
The cup of desire expanded rapidly and turned into a strange man wearing a blouse.
He has the lower body of a flower, but has the head of a human.
The man looked at the world with a blank look in his eyes. He turned his head and looked at everything around him.
The world is so vast.
The earth connected to the sky, the sea of trees connected to the river, and the various colors blended together as if they were going to completely submerge him.
He was once born here, when his consciousness was just forming.
He thought he would find a familiar feeling in this world when he returned again, but he didn't.
He can't see anything like what he once was in this world.
Times have changed, the world has changed, and species have also changed.
He originally wanted to say, I'm back.
But now when it comes to my mouth, it can only be reduced to a sentence.
"I am coming."
The ferryman's smock danced and floated into the distance.
He passed through the sea of jungle trees and drifted across lakes and rivers.
Finally, he stopped when people appeared in the sky and landed on the ground again.
At your feet is the giant island of Ruhe, and in the distance is the country of the snake people.
The ferryman Iva stared into the distance and walked step by step towards the country of the snake people.
