only god

Chapter 228 Slae's Plan
Celestial Kingdom.

The dragon god Ndola looked at the distant world.

He seemed to see something, shook his head, then spread his wings, and jumped to the gate of the temple of the prophecy god Cargaus.

"Endola?"

Kagaus happened to be right behind the temple, he asked suspiciously.

"Cagaus, Baird is about to wake up his sweetheart."

Dragon God Ndola said slowly, his breath was heavy.

"Baird?"

Kagaus was stunned for a moment, and he remembered this hero who had shined in several battles,

"The mortal hero?"

After that, Kagaus couldn't help but think of the god who committed a great crime.

Slaer, the god of lies and trickery.

Ndola looked at Kagaus and said in a deep voice:

"I know who you're thinking of, Cargauth.

You thought of the slaye you once obeyed from God, and you regarded as your own.

And I remembered Him too. "

Kagaus's voice was unavoidably hurried,

"What's the matter, Ndola?!"

Ndola sneered and continued:
"Have you forgotten, Cargauth.

Slae made me make three bets with Baird.

Once Byrd is done, then I will bestow upon him what he never had. "

Cargaus hurried forward,

"I remember, Ndola."

The dragon god Ndola pointed to the distant land, and said word by word:
"I didn't tell you at that time, but I actually didn't know what to give Baird."

Kagaus was stunned for a moment.

Ndola continued:

"I asked Slaer, and he told me that he has his own arrangements, so don't worry about it for now.

But now, He has already fallen and died, and Baird has obtained the gemstone from heaven, and he is about to complete his bet.

Kargauth, Slae was once your God, do you...do you know what He has planned? "

The dragon god Ndola almost gritted his teeth.

Ndola, who admired the strong, was born with pride. If it wasn't for the golden age, he would never make a bet with mortals, even Baird.

Originally, the bet between Him and Baird was entirely planned by Slae, but Slae had already fallen, but Baird was about to complete the bet. This situation made it impossible for Ndola to start.

Honor, love, opulence... the hero had almost everything, and Ndola didn't know what he never had.

Apart from……

Thinking of something, Ndola sneered and questioned Kagaus:

"Should he be promoted to the Celestial Kingdom and become a member of the gods?"

Kagaus shook his head,

"It's absolutely impossible."

Ndola still sneered,
"Then what should I do, tear up the bet, and let my dignity be trampled completely? Let the god of the oath spurn me?"

Kagaus lowered his head and murmured:
"Slaer...His plans are often extremely comprehensive, and they will never be that simple."

Then, the God of Prophecy fell into deep thought, without saying a word, as if he was remembering something.

I don't know how long it has passed, when Ndola got impatient.

Kagaus raised his head suddenly, he remembered something,
"Gem! That gem from heaven!

And...and Baird's sweetheart..."

In the majestic and mysterious temple,
Cargaus gradually saw Slaeh's plan.

..........................................

..........................................

Baird led the pack horse, and he traversed the vast open field.Crossing an unknown number of streams, over the mountains, and finally to a small city-state in the land of Aga.

The pack horses carried heavy luggage, which contained gold, silver and jewels brought back from years of fighting.Baird raised his face and looked at the small gate of the city-state. His mood was indescribable at the moment.

Excited?ecstasy?Or is it a relief?

The pack horse neighed because of thirst. It had traveled too many roads. Before coming to the city-state, it crossed the uninhabited desert and accompanied Baird back from the distant battle to the Aga fed by the river.

Baird patted the pack horse's head to signal it to be quieter, but the animal was so thirsty that it neighed uncontrollably, so Baird took out the water bag from the bag and fed it into the pack horse's mouth.

The pack horse sips the water in the hose, its thick throat gurgling and rolling.

"My sweetheart."

Baird looked at the city gate in front of him and murmured.

In the past 20 years, Baird's deeds of seeking the gems from heaven for his sweetheart are well known to almost every generation of companions.

However, Baird never mentioned the name of his sweetheart.

But his companions, either out of respect, or asked, but did not get a definite answer.

Baird led the pack horse and walked into the city-state. He was too tall and burly. When the guards stationed saw him, they stepped forward and stopped him.

"who are you?"

The guard looked up and down Baird, he noticed the dragon skin on Baird's back, and suddenly thought of something.

"Baird."

Baird replied.

The guard froze for a moment, murmured twice, and suddenly remembered something.

"Are you the Baird in that poem? The Baird in dragon skin!"

Baird smiled warmly and nodded.

The guard hastily moved out of the way. If he hadn't been stationed at the city gate today, he would have bought the hero a glass of ale, or listened to him tell the story of the war.

And Baird's figure gradually faded away in the guard's field of vision. After a while, the guard gritted his teeth, and finally raised the spear in his hand, and followed Baird's figure from a distance.

The guard temporarily put aside his duties,

After all, who doesn't admire the hero's hero?

Baird walked into the city gate. He breathed the long-lost air, then stared at the road in front of him, looking for the mansion of his sweetheart with ease.

He stroked the stone box in his arms, and the thoughts in his heart slowly stirred.

These days, Baird has never opened the stone box, he is afraid of being bewitched by the light of the gemstone.

This gem can only be dedicated to his cursed sweetheart, and only one incomparable can wake her from her slumber.

Baird turned left and right, and finally stopped in front of a courtyard.

There are some colonnades around the courtyard, with exquisite reliefs and paintings, showing ancient myths and legends, but they are full of dust.

Weeds were overgrown in the streets, and birds had fallen from the dead branches of the olive trees, rotting and stinking dead on the ground, and the ants were doing their best to decompose them.

Baird pushed open the courtyard gate and stepped inside as if nothing had happened.

On the stone chair, an old man with a kind face was sitting there. When he saw Baird, he wanted to stand up excitedly.

"Your legs and feet are bad, you'd better sit down!"

Baird said kindly, he hurried forward and held down the old man.

The old man smiled, nodded, and looked at his son-in-law happily.

A maid was leaning against the wall. When she saw Baird, her eyes widened in surprise, and she was just about to say something...

Baird made a booing gesture, he knew that his mother-in-law was still sleeping peacefully at this time.

A gust of wind blew up and rolled up the withered leaves. The maid nodded repeatedly, and then quickly pointed to the depths of the courtyard.

"I know I know."

Baird nodded slightly, he understood what the maid meant.

Not far away, the guard came cautiously, and he saw Baird walk into a courtyard with his own eyes.

He remembered that this courtyard had been deserted for a long time.

The gate of the courtyard is full of dust accumulation, dead branches and leaves are scattered on the ground, and ants are still eating the corpses.

The guard approached slowly and glanced inside.

His eyes widened in horror.

On the stone chair and by the wall, there were only two dried corpses in the entire courtyard, stiff and sluggish, maintaining the posture of their lives!
Baird, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened. He shared his journey along the way, with a gentle and flat voice. A hero showed all his softness, talking and laughing in front of the two mummies...
