Chapter 1516 Look at Their Pope

The teleportation light in the temple square gradually dimmed, and two figures appeared in front of us: this was the arrival of followers of Kenser and Lin.

Kense and Lin are considered a younger generation in the Star Territory, but as gods with infinite lifespan, in the eyes of mortals, they are guys who have lived as long as the world has existed or even longer. Therefore, in these long years, they have become famous. Basically, they have accumulated a considerable number of believers (Dingdang is an idiot, so the exception is that before Lilina appeared, even if Dingdang had followers under his name, they were always in a mess), but these believers have never been to Shadow City, so I am now in a very curious state, wanting to see what the followers of two gods who are usually unreliable would look like. At the same time, I made up some images in my mind in advance, but when the two figures became clear, Later I found that they were completely different from what I expected:

One of them is an old man, wearing a coarse cloth robe with no decoration. The robe is so simple that it looks like a whole piece of gray cloth. The old man's beard and hair are all white, and his beard hangs down to his chest. Judging from human appearance, he must be at least ninety years old. The only thing that can indicate his special identity is a long metal staff in his hand that is as tall as a person. This long staff is obviously extraordinary: it is completely golden, with a faint holy light floating on the surface. Although there are not many decorations, the long staff is The huge crystal inlaid on the top can already prove the extraordinaryness of this thing. To be fair, I think this long staff has a much higher presence than the old man in front of me. The latter looks like a quite ordinary old man, from his clothes to his appearance, he is quite ordinary. If you have to say something unusual...that is, ordinary people usually don't live to such a long age.

This old man who looked like Moses walking out of a religious mural was obviously a follower of Uncle Kenser, so the people around him must be followers of Lin. It was an unusually tall woman. He is estimated to be at least 1.8 meters tall and has long curly brown hair. She has a heroic appearance and looks like a female soldier who has been in the military for many years. This woman was wearing simple and revealing leather armor, revealing a large area of ​​healthy wheat-colored skin. Her figure was more muscular than plump: I noticed her six-pack abs at first glance...

This is a heroic woman who reminds people of an Amazon female warrior. Her tallness and strength can even make people ignore her female identity intentionally or unintentionally. I am absolutely sure that she has been active on the battlefield for a long time. This can be seen from the scars on her body. And what attracts the most attention is not just her majestic appearance. There are also some weird features on her body: the scaly skin on her thighs and arms, and her golden vertical pupils, which are reminiscent of a half-dragon like Sakina. Although she doesn't have a tail, I'm sure she belongs. Dragons, or simply dragons in human form.

Like the old man next to her, this woman was also armed. But it is not the scepter usually used by high-level believers, but a mountaineering battle ax carried on the back. The ax has the same rough shape as its owner, and I visually inspected it: the handle of this thing is bigger than Pandora High...you can imagine how much movement this thing makes when waved.

I glanced at Lin with a strange look: Is that Amazon female warrior who looks like a humanoid chariot really a believer of this doormat dragon god? Could the contrast between master and servant be any stronger?

It's okay to say that Uncle Kenser's disciple is an old man. Anyway, both of them are following the old man's route. Moreover, he is the kind of kind old man who looks like a savior when he hangs it on a religious mural. From his temperament to his clothes, the old man opposite and Uncle Kenser are in perfect harmony with each other. At most, he is a bit too old. But I really didn’t expect that there would be such an Amazon female warrior among Lin’s followers - look at her other followers, they are either tragic girls like Sakina and Sona who have great hatred and bitterness. Either she is a bitter sister like Zoya, who looks cold but is actually desolate. Anyway, she is taking the route of causing trouble for the whole family. And the energetic female warrior not far away looks like the type that can cause trouble for other people's whole families... It stands to reason that what kind of God has what kind of pope, Lin, is this person in your family mutated?

However, Lin and Kense didn't notice my eyes. They just stepped forward to greet their followers with happy expressions. Lilina didn't lament that Lin's followers were so powerful, but instead murmured: " My colleagues are enemies, and I feel the strong malice of this world... These two people have more work experience than this pope at first glance. Boss, how do you think I should pretend that I am dedicated?"

I casually hit her on the head: "Go to the temple first and put the recording device in front of the statue of the god. You play the recording every day when you pray. How dare you say that you are a religious person?"

The two new guests seemed to be still in a daze. They had never been to Shadow City before, so they were looking around with curious eyes. The strange buildings and strange aircraft in the sky may have made them feel a little confused. , so much so that they didn’t even react when their God walked in front of them. When I approached, I happened to hear Kenser greeting his followers: "Will! Long time no see. You look a little older..."

Only then did the old man named "Will" react. After seeing Kenser, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Lord! Please forgive me..."

Kenser quickly pulled the old man up: "Okay, okay, it's not a festival, you can reduce some pressure on your intervertebral discs."

I looked at Kense, and then at the old man who looked like he could be Kense's father just from the outside, and suddenly I remembered that when uncle Kense mentioned the latter just now, he had the same expression on his face as when an elder mentioned a junior. "That kid"... At first, I really thought the other person was a young boy. I never expected that the person who came could almost be my grandfather. This scene was really amazing.

On the other side, Lin also patted the Amazon female warrior's arm (because of her height, she couldn't pat her shoulders, Lin was only over 1.5 meters...). The latter quickly looked away from the spaceship in the sky and saluted Lin respectfully. , but before she could speak, Lin made an unexpected move: she reached out and hugged the Amazon female warrior's head, put it on her chest and rubbed it affectionately twice, just like a mother holding her child: "Aha, Quina has grown so tall..."

I looked at the scene in front of me with a dumbfounded expression: the doormat dragon goddess was sexually aroused. The heroic Amazon female warrior was held and rubbed around her head by a thin girl who looked like her own daughter. The two of them stayed together for a while, and then the woman named Quina finally spoke in a muffled voice: "My lord. I am no longer a child..."

Lin then let go of her hand and introduced the others with a happy look on her face: "This is Kenser, the God of Light I often mentioned to you, this is Lilina, who is the Pope like you, and finally this is Chen Jun , is a big shot. You must maintain respect: he is the commander-in-chief of the Xiling God System, just like the Father God of the Star Territory - oh, he is also a good person who is as friendly as the Father God..."

Quina and Will hurried over to salute. I took a step back and waved my hands vigorously: "Don't be too polite. Don't be too polite. You two are putting too much pressure on people. Just treat this place as your own home. The people of Shadow City are simple and hospitable. Basically, as long as you don’t fight in the street, it’s fine.”

A look of regret appeared on Quina's face: "I heard there are many masters here..."

I glanced at Lin with a strange expression: Who else could I listen to? Apparently it was spread by this doormat.

"By the way. Are you here for business? Is it just a pilgrimage or a tourist visit?"

Although believers under the name of the five-person group of protoss are welcome to come to Shadow City, I still have to ask them what they are doing here. Even if it is not for official business, I want to satisfy my curiosity.

Both Quina and Will showed a trace of hesitation, and then looked at their God with probing eyes. Obviously they didn't know if some things could be said here. Upon seeing this, Uncle Kenser took the initiative to speak to me: "They do have a mission. ——You still remember that there were a lot of problems with the world management system of the God Realm a while ago, right?"

I nodded: I still remember this incident clearly. Although it has nothing to do with the empire, Xingyu is his brother after all. That incident made them anxious and angry, and they will certainly not forget it.

"Lin's world management system also had some problems at that time, but the situation on her side was not serious. So you probably didn't know," Uncle Kenser nodded. "Pantheon investigated for a long time after that incident. The superficial investigation result was that it was a 'normal failure' and had nothing to do with the abyss area or anything like that. The sudden and intensive outbreak was just a matter of probability, but no one believed that it would be that simple. So Father God arranged a tracking and observation task, allowing some worlds with typical failures to continue to observe the operating status of the management system - because it was just simple work such as data collection, we didn't need to do it ourselves, so Lin and I Leave this task to the children. Well, the two of them are here to report and deliver information."

I nodded in understanding, then squinted my eyes and glanced at Lilina with very critical eyes: Look at other people's popes, and then look at yourself. If you don't do your job all day long, you will know that you will change the Bible and cheat you out of manuscript fees. Are you sorry...

Everyone must have guessed the result: this girl pretended not to see her and continued to spin her own ideas with a wrinkled face...

"Since it's business, I won't make trouble," I nodded to the two guests, "You guys chat with your god first, and you can stay as long as you want. There is a free hotel in the temple area specially prepared for religious visitors. You are here. It’s okay to have fun for a few days.”

Quina and Will expressed their gratitude in a somewhat reserved manner, and then followed their god to the depths of the temple area. After the four of them had gone away, I lowered my head and looked at Lilina: "By the way, you are the host of the temple, right?" , shouldn’t you follow me and be a guide at this time?”

"My colleagues are enemies," Lilina looked up at her face seriously, "I feel more pressure to be with them."

I rolled my eyes: This girl actually has self-awareness. She obviously realized how unreliable she is, which is why she felt so uncomfortable when she met two popes who had a bachelor's degree and insisted on clocking in to work every day. Of course, she has usually come into contact with other believers of the Star Realm God System, and has also come into contact with a larger number of gods. In the past, she had no pressure. The main reason for the pressure this time should be related to the uncle Kenser's uncle: the old man. Seeing that she is over ninety years old, she might be summoned by the Lord even if she drank too much water. Lilina probably knew that her careless behavior could easily make people angry, so she simply kept her distance...

The above are all my idle random thoughts and rants in my head. You are welcome to take them seriously.

"Speaking of which, the female pope under Lin is really..." I looked at the direction in which the four God + believers left, and I couldn't help but sweat on my forehead when I recalled the muscular Amazon female warrior. "Lin looks so skinny and pitiful. How could she raise such a fierce sister... isn't it said that what kind of God raises what kind of believers?"

Lilina waved her hand disapprovingly: "Boss's view of the problem is too one-sided. Think about my Lord's intelligence, and then look at this Pope..."

I:"……"

Lilina was trying her best to die because of her high resistance to divine punishment. Of course, the divine thunder did not strike her. Another reason may be that the laws of the universe and the truth of nature have acquiesced that Dingdang's intelligence is hopeless...

"Boss, where are you going next?" Lilina stood up on tiptoe and dangled beside me, asking in a lazy and idle tone, "It's still early, so you shouldn't go home at this time, right?"

I looked at her strangely: "Didn't you say you wanted to come to the temple to deal with 'political affairs'? I came with you, why do you have nothing to do now?"

"I've finished handling my political affairs." Lilina nodded matter-of-factly, "Inspecting the temple, just walking around here is equivalent to signing in. Anyway, the number of sign-ins every month for the goddess is twenty days less than mine. .”

Me: "..." Fortunately, this guy didn't join in the fun with the two popes just now, otherwise the Amazon female warrior would have been summoned by the Lord by now, let alone the 90-year-old man!

I am somewhat resistant to Lilina's careless character, and besides, she has indeed not missed any work that she should do on weekdays. Naturally, I couldn't say anything about her laziness at this time, so I touched the girl's head and thought of a place in my mind: "Let's go somewhere where we can kill time."

Lilina suddenly showed a happy look on her face: "Hey, it's been a long time since I last dated my boss. Now that I think about it, I feel a little excited - are we going to an adult hotel or something?"

I punched her on the head. Then he pinched her under his arm and teleported away from the temple area. After the teleportation light curtain dissipated, Lilina looked at the small store in front of her and muttered: "Tsk, I thought it was such a romantic place, but it turned out that I was invited to eat cake again."

"This place is slow but not rough," I shrugged. While still holding a loli under his arm, he stepped forward and pushed open the glass door of the shop, "Sylvia! A customer is coming!"

After saying hello as usual, I went to find an empty seat by the window (actually all the seats in the store were basically empty) and sat down. First, he put Lilina on the chair next to him, then went to pour two drinks next to him, then picked up the coloring page on the table and slowly flipped through it. After basically completing this set of procedures, he heard a slow sound coming from the direction of the counter. One answer: "Ah, it's Chen——"

It feels like that guy's reaction speed is a second or two faster than before. Is it an illusion?

Sylvia's shop is as calming as ever. Even a dangerous person like Lilina who is in a restless state 24 hours a day can't help but calm down in this special environment. I ordered two lighter snacks and chatted with Lilina while eating. After a while, Sylvia floated over quietly like a wandering spirit. This slow, silver-haired mole was next to us. He sat down and said with curiosity in his tone: "Hey - I feel like the atmosphere in the base is weird - I heard Bella Vera said a big shot came here?"

I glanced at her in surprise: This guy can feel the atmosphere is weird, it's not simple.

Lilina took advantage of my daze and hurriedly picked out a small nut cake from my plate. I pinched her nose and turned to look at Sylvia: "Well, the Abyss Xiling is here. This is really subtle. : Are you related to her or not?"

Sylvia thought seriously for a long time (of course, it may have been a reaction for a long time), and then slowly shook her head: "I don't know, these four words don't sound emotional, and I don't know her."

Sylvia's personality was created after the network connection between Bellavilla and the Abyss Zone was unexpectedly interrupted. Of course, she had no understanding of the Abyss Xiling. Even because she had closed off the knowledge about the empire, she could not even understand her own Xiling. The identity of the apostle is not very impressive. In the final analysis, "Silver Fur Mole" is a personality created by Bellavera in a state of self-escape in order to protect her own soul. These complicated things should really have nothing to do with her.

But Sylvia rolled her eyes and thought for a while, and then added: "Bella Villa seems to be quite concerned about this matter-"

"What did she say?" I asked casually while helping Lilina wipe the snack residue on her face.

"She said she wanted to find the Abyss Xiling - and then give her one hundred thousand volts, once a day~~ One time for a day -" Sylvia said honestly.

The movement of my hand suddenly stopped: "I'll strangle you, why are you so resentful?"

"Why can't we have such a big resentment!" Sylvia's tone suddenly changed, and she suddenly became more intelligent than ever before, "I was so badly harmed by her, I don't believe she didn't find out Occam is full of bad things. In addition, there is the messy situation in the abyss area. Everyone is insecure, warlords are fighting, and separatist forces are everywhere. After I lost the battle, I was thrown away as an outcast. Why can't you say Any resentment is trivial!"

Obviously this is Bella Vera waking up. After so many years of recuperating her energy, although she still cannot stay awake for a long time, she can already grasp the external environment in real time and communicate seamlessly with Sylvia at any time. switch. I stared blankly at the impassioned silver-haired woman, and it took me a long time to find a chance to interject. I smiled coquettishly: "Well, Abyss Xiling's behavior is indeed ruthless, but to put it this way, Haran should be more resentful than you. Bigger: You were sold alone, Harlan was sold with his whole family, and his deeds as 'Captain of the Transport Brigade' have almost spread throughout the capital."

"Tch, at least he's still fine now," Bellavilla curled her lips, "Look at how schizophrenic I've become."

When it comes to schizophrenia, my thoughts can't help but spread: I know more than one schizophrenia. In addition to passive schizophrenia like Bella Villa-Sylvia, there are also people like Tavel who are extremely sane. , Abyss Xiling-Xiling is so elite and has a history of more than 70,000 years, and there is also the division between the new army and the old army of Abyss Xiling not long ago... It seems that among the Xiling apostles, only those who can release schizophrenia as an active skill They all must be fierce. Bella Vera's fine skills are not proficient enough, so she is not strong enough. Now she can only stay here selling cakes and occasionally go to the base to teach the ravens how to make fireballs...
