Chapter 496 The Kind-hearted Slaer (Two in One)

The gods have worked hard for the coming new world, and Slaer, the god of lies and tricks, is naturally not immune.

Contrary to the fear that the kingdom of the gods has always had about the path of divine creation, Slaer's first feeling after learning about this was joy.

"Slare, I didn't expect to see excitement in your eyes."

The prophecy god Kargaus stared at him and said:

"It seems that you have been expecting this."

Slaer turned around, opened his hands and said:

"Mysterious prophecy, don't you think that if this world remains unchanged, it will be extremely boring?"

Kagaus didn't answer. He prefers a world that remains unchanged to a world that is ushering in change. The former means unknown, while the latter means stability.

"I have to do something, I have to do something, that land is my stage!"

Slaer shouted excitedly, acting like a child in front of Kargauth.

"So, what will you do? Fool a person or a god, spread lies and conspiracies?"

Kagaus asked,
"Or, like me, do nothing unless it is absolutely necessary."

The earliest awakened god in the celestial kingdom, since the death of the god king Shan En, has been living in seclusion. He keeps his house behind closed doors and rarely sees outsiders.

"No, neither, that's too boring. I want something big."

Slae shook his head and said with a smile.

In the next second, the figure of the god of lies and deceit disappeared in the temple of prophecy, and Kargaus couldn't keep him even if he wanted to.

The God of Prophecy turned around slowly, he sighed, raised his hand slightly, but stopped in mid-air.

"Forget it, let's not make predictions."

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

Helong Mountains, the border between Golan Kingdom and Dwarf Kingdom Karlrond.

In the past hundred years, due to territorial disputes, there have been constant frictions between the two countries. The latter regards the Helong Mountains, which are rich in mineral deposits, as the territory of the kingdom since ancient times, while the former regards this place as an important foundation of the kingdom and the kingdom’s defense against invasion. Defending the natural frontiers of the territory.

Because of this, the two countries have never reached an agreement on the ownership of this place, and several negotiations have also ended in disagreement.

On the border, towns and villages are dotted. The local residents make a living by mining the rich mineral deposits in the mountains. The mining industry and trade industry are developed. Due to the border between the two countries, there are both dwarves and humans living here, and of course there are infinite powers. the giants.

For local ordinary people, the friction between the two countries is not far away, and the old people in the towns and villages have even experienced it personally several times.

And the place Slaer is going to visit is one of the villages.

The village leans against a small coal mine, and dozens of families in the village rely on coal mining for a living.

For many barren lands, how lucky it is to have a coal mine that can be mined, it is like sitting on a golden mountain, but only people who have lived in this village for generations know that the golden mountain can crush people to death, and the collapsed mines one after another , is a man-eating dragon.

Over the past few decades, countless villagers have died in accidents, so that the entire village has more women than men. There are nearly a hundred widows in dozens of households, and most of the husbands died. In the mine.

In a log house, Slaer noticed, a young girl in her prime was weeping.

The girl was human, about 14 years old, but she wore a black headscarf that symbolized being married. She was sitting on a bed of straw, staring at a mining pick, crying over and over again. The pickaxe was smashed with scars, and after a while, he hissed and wailed while holding the mine pickaxe.

"It's really distressing."

Slaier frowned and shook his head,
"How could I not lend a helping hand?"

Soon, there was a knock on the door outside the wooden house.

The girl noticed the sound and hurriedly held back her tears. She wiped away her tears and stood up to open the door.

Standing outside the door was a ragged, rickety old man,

"Excuse me, I've been wandering for a long time, give me something to eat."

The old man begged.

The girl immediately turned around and went back to the house. She took out half a bowl of leftover acorn porridge and handed it to the old man in front of her.

The old man took the acorn porridge, but did not drink it on the spot, but said:
"Let me in to keep warm, please, don't refuse an old man."

The girl hesitated for a moment, then nodded, took a step back, and welcomed the old man into the house.

After eating the porridge, the old man warmed up and chatted with the young girl naturally. The young girl was named Ge Lun. She was just 14 years old and she was newly married a month ago. The husband, a lad of the same age, had died in the mines just a week earlier.

The old man wept, and the young girl was touched and cried again.

"When was he buried?"

the old man asked.

"Two days ago, just two days ago, grim death, please be kind to him."

Colum said tremblingly.

"Oh, two days ago, it was still too late..."

As he spoke, the old man paused, and suddenly, he said another sentence that sounded inexplicable.

"Because you entertained me, then, I can make you make a wish."

Ge Lun was stunned, and asked after a while:
"Are you... crazy?"

The old man just asked her to make a wish.

Under the strong request of the old man, the girl finally made her wish,

"I want my husband, Clos, to come back to me."

"Son, then I will satisfy you."

As he spoke, the old man's body fell backwards and disappeared in a puff of smoke.

In the house, only a stunned girl was left.

At night, Colum heard a knock on the door again. She stood up tremblingly, opened the door and saw that the person standing outside the door was none other than her husband, Kloss.

Colum was frozen in place, his legs were weak, and he fell to the ground with a plop. He looked at the husband in disbelief, and the latter, with tears on his face, stepped forward to hug Columbe, and then desperately kissed his wife.

Behind Cross, stood an old man.

When Ge Lun slowly recovered from the shock, she wept with joy, and then turned her eyes to the old man who had helped him.

"This is how the same thing?"

Colum asked tremblingly.

Under the night, the old man smiled. That smile looked so innocent, but against the backdrop of the night, it made people tremble with fear.

"Obviously, I granted your wish."

The old man said so.

Colum stroked the body of Cross, who also looked at the old man with grateful eyes.

"This wish...will there be any additional conditions, or..."

Colum hesitated to speak.

"What other conspiracy?"

The old man added for her.

The girl nodded.

"Don't worry, boy, there's no conspiracy. I'm not Slaer. You're a little worried. Maybe you've heard too many scary ghost stories."

As he said that, seeing that Colum still had doubts on his face, the old man continued:

"You know, your wish is for Cross to come back.

And I could have literally brought his body back, or refined his soul into a ghost, or given you a dying Cross to die in front of you again.

But I won't do that...

Because what you want, is this, a real Kloss, the original Kloss. "

The old man's voice is soft, like a spring breeze gently caressing.

Ge Lun was stunned, and after a long time, he said softly:
"You...you are so kind! You are so kind...I have never seen such a kind and capable person like you."

The old man nodded in agreement,
"Yes, that's who I am.

Let news of Cross's return spread throughout the village,
Let everyone who wants to make a wish come, and I will grant all their wishes! "

Even though the religious order stopped and walked slowly in the land of Aga, as time passed, they finally arrived at the border port of the land of Aga.

"The weather is not very good these days, and there are frequent thunderstorms."

In the tavern, the captain who traveled between the two countries all year round talked to the priest of the order.

The priest of the religious order turned his face to look at Wildo, and asked:
"How long can we stay here with the rest of the budget?"

Wildo thought about it in his heart, and gave the answer:
"Don't worry, even if you stay for ten days."

The priest of the order nodded, slightly relieved.

When they rushed to the holy land, they were extremely embarrassed, and they almost fell into the situation of hunger and cold several times, but after going through hardships, after returning from the holy land, good luck seemed to have always favored them. Even though there were many expenses along the way, the money never bottomed out.

In this way, the members of the religious group don't have to take risks and rush to sail in this turbulent weather.

"There is one thing I didn't say. For the sake of Kagaus, I still have to inform you in advance."

Swallowing a sip of beer, the captain gasped and said:
"It's not that we can set sail as soon as the weather improves. There has been a lot of pirates in this area recently. They are all bearded dwarves like you. Oh, damn, maybe I should ask a nobleman or priest to make a prophecy? No , Please excuse me, please excuse me..."

When talking about the latter, the captain's voice dropped, and then his head drooped, and he fell asleep on the table after a while.

The mission priest and Wildo stood up helplessly.

"Recently there have been pirates..."

Wildo chewed on these words.

"Don't worry about Wildo, with the care of the Lord, we will be fine."

The priest of the order was relieved.

What he didn't know was that Wildo wasn't worried about pirates. After all, encountering pirates was a rare event.

Wildor was just wondering why there had been more pirates in the relatively calm sea area in the past.

"Is it because of... "Book of Mechanics"?"

Wildo murmured in his heart.

Because the technology in the "Book of Mechanics" was used on a large scale, cracks gradually appeared in the originally well-ordered kingdom.

As early as before leaving Calrond, Wildo witnessed the various changes that the "Book of Mechanics" brought to dwarven society on the road.

It's just that Wildo didn't realize at that time that this would be an unprecedented change.

But now, the changes that "Book of Mechanics" brought to dwarf society are no longer limited to the dwarf kingdom, but have truly affected the land of Aga, which is far away from the ocean.

When thinking of this, Wildo couldn't help expressing emotion, a classic that he picked up by accident would have a huge impact on the whole world.

A few days later, the storm on the sea calmed down, and there was a heavy rain on the way, and after the heavy rain, the entire wet border port suddenly had a new look, and the two consecutive days of sunny days made the The upcoming voyage became bright.

The religious group made an agreement with the captain they met in the tavern. If the weather is still sunny in two days, they will set sail for the sea.

But two days later, it was still sunny, the captain did not break his promise, and it is impossible to break his promise. He and his sailors make a living by carrying passengers and goods, and they break their promises at every turn. Then everyone has to drink the northwest wind. go.

The passengers going to Karrond are not limited to members of the religious order. Some merchants, bards, priests, craftsmen, etc. will also take this boat to Karrond. More than 200 people, as well as some goods, set sail in a mighty way amid the sound of horns and sacrifices to the water god Angelil and the sea god.

Wildo stood on the deck. With the height of a dwarf, his hands could not be put on the mast like a human or a three-eyed ape. He could only grasp the pillars of the mast and look at the slightly wavy ocean through the gap.

Judging from the previous situation, they will be able to return to Calrond in about ten days and continue to perform the duties of the order. Wildo calculated the itinerary and found that they set off on a pilgrimage from Calrond and landed not long after. It took about a year for Karl Londe's day.

Wildo couldn't help sighing that time flies like an arrow. At this moment, there was a sudden bump on the deck, and he staggered, with nausea in his stomach.

Most of the dwarves are difficult to adapt to sailing life, so seasickness is common, and it is not uncommon to accidentally fall into the water and die while dizzy. Wildo dare not stay on the deck for too long. He decided to only be on the deck every morning Take a walk on the deck and get some fresh air.

Returning to the room of the order, and opening the "Disciples of Sealand" again, Wildo couldn't help but think of that good monk, that man was indeed humble and intelligent, and he listened patiently no matter what he taught him.

"God, I don't know when I will meet him again. I still have a lot to teach him."

Wildo sighed in a low voice, and began to read the "Biography of Disciple Sealand" in his hand.

The big ship is sailing on the established route. It is wide and stable. Although it is slow, everything is in order. The captain of this ship is naturally happy to see this situation, even if it is slower. Calm seas are the first thing every seaman begs for work, followed by making money.

It's just... calm and calm, not only on this big ship.

It also appears to the pirates who run rampant in this sea area, just as rain falls on the righteous and the unjust.
