only god

Chapter 445 He will definitely commit a serious crime (plus two in one)

On the sea of ​​souls, the busy fairies are building their own homes. They store the good thoughts collected from the souls of mortals in warehouses, and drive rose snakes through the streets and alleys.

Fairy Queen Sophia walked out of her palace slowly, accompanied by dozens of fairies.

When the goblins saw Sophia, they would bend down and kneel involuntarily. This sense of awe seemed to be engraved in the souls of the goblins since the beginning of the creation of the race.

That was the first goblin in the world, the first goblin created by the angel Siles or the prophet Siles. The other goblins respected the originator of the goblin as if they were gods.

"Back off, let me go to see the Prophet alone."

Sophia waved her hand to signal the goblins on the side to step back and stop following her, then she stretched out her hand and adjusted her clothes casually, flapping her transparent wings and leaping into the air.

Not long after, she came to the highest point of the sea of ​​souls, and saw Silas waiting in front of the mirror.

The mirror in front of Silas can see Baird and others' every move in the underworld from a long distance. These days, the archangel has been waiting here and never left.

Sophia slowly approached Silas, and then flew onto his shoulder with ease.

"Oh, it's you, Sophia."

Silas said casually.

"Well, no one else will come here except me."

Sophia said so.

Now the relationship between Sophia and Silas, said to be the relationship between the creator and the created, is actually not appropriate. As time goes by, the Fairy Queen's awe of Silas gradually fades away, and they are more like a pair with Servant of friendship.

"Where are you now?"

Sophia asked, pointing to the picture in the mirror.

"Nowhere, they have completed the fifth trial."

Silas confessed without hiding anything.

"It looks like they're doing well,"

Sophia heard this and continued:
"But I'm thinking, if Baird really completes the nine trials, will the judges of the underworld really let him go?"

Silas tilted his head and hissed:

"you guess."

Sophia didn't do what he wanted, and the Fairy Queen continued to analyze calmly:

"The judge of the underworld made a bet with you, not with Baird.

The content of the bet is that Baird will commit a great crime, and there will be no other crimes except banishment from the underworld.

Is the ninth trial a great sin?Impossible, the judges of the underworld are not on the same boat as you, and they will not sit back and watch Baird commit serious crimes in the underworld. "

When speaking of this, the Fairy Queen paused.

She turned her face and gazed at Silas,
"So, are you going to let him go?
Assuming he has completed the nine trials and has not committed any major crimes..."

Silas said slowly:

"There's no such possibility.

He is bound to commit a great crime. "

Sophia was full of doubts. She found that her creator was very certain, but she didn't understand where this certainty came from.

Silas did not continue to explain, he said:
"If your hypothesis is true, then all the responsibilities will be attributed to me, whether it is Baird's failure to leave the underworld, the failure of the judges of the underworld, or the failure of the bet, I will bear it.

But I will not do such a loss-making business.

So be patient, Sophia. "

Silas's voice fell into deaf ears.

"So... what kind of crime is it that makes Baird exile from the underworld?"

When one question was not answered, Sofia asked another question.

Silas looked at Sophia with some annoyance, snorted, and repeated:
"Be patient!"

Seeing this, Sophia smiled disdainfully, and stopped asking. The archangel who claimed to be a prophet is far more knowledgeable than herself. There are too many things in him that I can't understand now.

Even if you think you can understand it.

Through the smooth mirror, the actions of the heroes fell into the eyes of Sophia and Silas.

They watched this group of heroes wander through the underworld, completing one trial after another.

In a short period of time, these heroes have completed five trials.

There are many tests in it, not only testing their bravery, but also testing their courage, and also testing their wisdom.

After getting rid of the seven-headed serpent that caused the disaster, the heroes ran to find the spirit deer left by the forest god Riboga. After finding the soul left by Riboga, they went to kill those who were trying to cross the river Styx and go to the peaceful plain. The soul is caught and brought to justice. After the soul is captured, a bunch of hidden white flowers is found in the abyss of the cliff...

After completing the first four trials, the heroes proceeded to the fifth trial, which was more difficult than the previous four trials combined. The judge of the underworld asked the heroes to serve as a jury to assist the judges in adjudicating the crimes of the soul. Among the nine hundred and ninety people, if there were three wrong judgments, the trial would fail, but the heroes still judged the crimes of the nine hundred and ninety people with wisdom, and none of them was wrongly judged.

The progress of the heroes was so smooth that the judges of the underworld were surprised and felt a sense of crisis.

So, one of the most inexistent judges proposed the sixth trial to the heroes.

That is an unsmiling judge, like the most unreasonable stone, he is dressed in a black robe, his whereabouts are uncertain, he is the most mysterious of the nine underworld judges, the underworld has been established for so many years, no soul has ever known him name.

And the trial proposed by the unknown judge turned out to be to make the heroes tell jokes that could make him laugh.

This trial was unprecedented, and beyond the imagination of the heroes. When these great souls were still in the world, the most commendable things were their bravery, wisdom, and courage, not their ability to joke.

The other judges of the underworld couldn't help but marvel at it, why didn't they think of such a tricky question.

On the other side, the queen of the underworld, Esrona, felt a sense of loss after learning about this incident.

"Why is there such a difficult question?"

Esrona complained to her husband,

"Those heroes just can't do anything about it, they're not good at it."

As a god who is keen to study the soul, Esrona naturally hopes that Baird and his party will successfully complete the trial and be exiled from the underworld by the judges. In this way, the purpose of the archangel will be achieved. And I can share knowledge about the soul.

However, this little-known judge, the questions he asked were so tricky that they just hit the weakness of the heroes, and those great souls would not think of this kind of trial even if they wanted to break their heads.

"This is simply... so tricky that it is beyond the wisdom of ordinary people!"

Esrona was a little distraught.

Even if he wanted to extend a helping hand to the heroes, facing this kind of trial, as the goddess of sleep, he was also helpless.

"You're right."

Hearing what the queen said, Nakbet, the god of death, suddenly said.

"what?"

Esrona looked surprised. '

"That is indeed not the wisdom of mortals, but the wisdom of gods."

Nakbet paused for a moment, the dark miasma of death lingered under the throne,

"The judge who proposed that test was not a mortal, but Slaer, master of lies and tricks."

Esrona opened her mouth wide,
"You, what did you say?"

Death God Nakbet slowly explained:
"You know, Esrona, those mortals are full of lies and liars by nature, even though the judges never cheat for personal gain, due to various reasons, they are inevitably deceived by mortals in the trial.

And Slaer, you know his character, he is ostentatious, and he is not afraid of causing trouble, he took the initiative to find me, hoping that I would provide him with a position as a judge, and he would provide the judge with the power of lies and tricks , to help them detect the lies of mortals in time. "

Esrona was stunned, and he was stunned for a long time. As a queen, he didn't like to get involved in the affairs of the underworld, and he didn't know about Slaer's identity, but after thinking about it, he suddenly felt reasonable .

"This is simply... unexpected and reasonable."

Esrona murmured in a low voice.

Nakbet smiled bitterly and said:
"My wife, I am not our father after all, and lies have no place to hide before the law, but with me, lies still have a place.

However, I also reminded Baird long ago, 'some people won't just sit back and watch you leave'. "

Hearing her husband's words, Esrona frowned. It was the cunning Slaer who stood in front of the heroes, and it was the god of lies and tricks who killed the once famous hero Baird.

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

Looking at the figure standing like a sculpture, the heroes frowned at this trial.

After going through the five trials in one go, the heroes are at the time when they are in high spirits. They seem to have regained their former glory and returned to the days that were praised by poems.

But this time, these great souls were really stumped.

Make the nameless judge in front of you laugh?
The heroes would rather remove another 77 seven-headed serpents than accept this test.

Because in this kind of trial, the heroes who were once omnipotent in the eyes of these mortals became helpless, and felt powerless from the bottom of their hearts.

The courage, bravery, and wisdom that heroes are proud of, except for the last one, are almost useless.

They gathered together to brainstorm ideas, but no matter what they said or did, the nameless judge remained motionless, and some heroes retreated.

It was Baird who stood up and encouraged them again, and he contained the negative spread in time. Under the leader's action, the heroes regained their spirits and looked for answers.

"Prigo, you are the wisest of us, what makes people laugh?"

Baird asked Prigo, who had excelled in the fifth trial of soul crimes.

"I can't do anything, Baird. I've told all the jokes I know, and the judge is still motionless, like a stone."

Prigo said angrily,

"We can only think of new jokes."

However, Baird's thinking became active. At this moment, he had an idea, and he continued:

"So... what's the way to make people laugh?"

"A way to make people laugh?"

"For example, what kind of factors can constitute a joke, we can grasp the factors that make up a joke, make up enough jokes, and keep saying it until the water drips through the stone and makes the judge laugh."

Baird's idea gave Prigo a great inspiration. The latter patted his head and said:
"Yes, it is so,

For example, attacking a person that everyone hates, or the great contrast between two things, or something absurd... We can produce jokes one after another like a machine.

Then even if all of us have run out of jokes, new jokes can be produced, and there is always a certain joke that can hit people's hearts. "

Baird nodded, this was just a hint of inspiration he had obtained through many days of observation.

At this moment, he turned his head and looked at the judge who looked like a stone sculpture.

It just so happened that the latter's eyes just happened to fall on him.

Baird's eyes froze, he felt a little weird, this judge gave him a familiar feeling.

They should have never met.

The trickiness of this trial does not lie in how difficult it is, but in the fact that it makes the heroes feel helpless.

After all, who wants to do something without a goal.

However, as Baird came up with ideas, the heroes no longer felt helpless, but gradually became active, regaining the courage to pass the five trials before.

They came up with many jokes one after another, and tried their best to make the nameless judge laugh. Even though none of them succeeded, the heroes who found the target were not discouraged. They told thousands of jokes in ten days, And the unnamed judge reacted a little more than before.

No.16 days, the heroes found that under the joke, the nameless judge trembled slightly, No.19 days, the nameless judge couldn't help turning around, No.20 six days, the heroes saw the nameless judge He bent down, as if he couldn't bear it anymore.

Over the past few days, the heroes have told tens of thousands of jokes, and under the water dripping through the stone, the unnamed judge's reaction is getting bigger and bigger. It seems that the water dripping through the stone indicates that they are not far from passing the trial.

So, on No. 30 days, Baird and a group of heroes came before the unknown judge.

A dwarf-like hero stood out. He was the shortest in the crowd and looked like an underage child. Just looking at it gave me a sense of joy.

Baird took a deep breath and asked the dwarf:
"Who is your father?"

The childlike dwarf said loudly:
"Underworld."

The nameless judge listened attentively.

"So, who is your mother?"

"Slae, the god of lies and trickery."

The dwarf continued.

Among mortals, Slyah, master of lies and deception, is often hated.

The nameless judge stared directly at Baird and the dwarf in front of him.

"So... what do you want to be when you grow up?"

Baird asked slowly.

The dwarf raised his head and said proudly:
"orphan!"
