Chapter 457 Mission Settlement?

Night has fallen, and the lights in the streets are turned on.

The sky city is suspended above the clouds, like the summer stars in the sky, and the residents in the city are obviously in extreme excitement today, although they don't know what happened.

I just saw that in the sky over the Great Temple, a terrifying and majestic thunder sea suddenly gathered at noon, and then like a high god swung down the spear of the lightning artifact, it hit the far end of the sky, causing a huge explosion. Motion and destruction.

——I don’t know how far away it is, but the mushroom cloud that soars into the sky and the deafening thunder are absolutely shocking phenomena.

This terrifying power far exceeds the imagination of people in this era, and it doesn't make them feel panicked, just like normal people don't feel repelled or afraid just because their country has mastered the ultimate force.

Quite the contrary, they all felt inspired, honored and chosen.

Throughout the day, they were full of energy and enthusiasm, talking about it with everyone they met, and speculating wildly.Specifically, it is to make up all kinds of weird stories to beautify the one in the temple out of nothing.

It just so happens that other people have such an idea, and they are willing to brainstorm with others in this regard, and give full play to their imagination...

It is probably because the development of this city is far ahead of the times, and the living standards of the residents in the city also do not conform to the core values ​​of egalitarianism, so a group of brain tonic emperors are full and start to pursue spiritual sublimation.

The result is that one day, there are N+ versions of strange myths and stories in the city. Their characteristic is that they were unheard of before, but now they come out all of a sudden, and the communicators speak clearly.

It seems that every version of them is an epic legend that has been passed down for a long time.

And they all have a common feature, that is, the basic story boards at the beginning are very similar, but the development trends are different. ——It is really unclear who is the official version and who is the fan creation.

Except Wugeng Liuli.

……

……

"Another day has passed..."

The night wind outside the window was blowing slowly, the fresh and cool night air made people feel refreshed, and the faint soliloquies resounded in the empty room.

With snow-white skin and black hair like a Japanese doll, the girl in the mysterious high priest's robe rested her chin on one hand and sighed.

She cast her gaze out of the window in front of the desk.

From the window, you can look down on the spacious square in front of the temple. There are lampposts around the circular square. The proper layout allows the lighting range of the lights to cover the entire square without being too dazzling.

At this time, many pedestrians were walking aimlessly in the neat square. They might be planning to come to the temple to pray later, or they had already prayed and just walked out but didn't plan to go home for the time being.

Anyway, no matter what, in this city where the curfew has been lifted, it seems that traveling at night is gradually becoming more common.

"..."

Even though it's been a full month since I watched such a scene, the black cat couldn't help but feel a trance, as if it had been a lifetime away.

Have you been dreaming all the time?Have you been in a dream all the time?But this dream is too ridiculously long, and it still progresses slowly according to the rules of time, without even a "fast forward" setting.

—A whole month!I actually lived in this world for a month!

A blur flashed in the red eyes, and Wu Geng Liuli couldn't help but sighed again.She withdrew her gaze, bit her lower lip lightly, and looked at the table in front of her. Those were all tasks she had to deal with.

After all, as the high priest, Wugeng Liuli's main job is to compile teachings, revise myths and legends, and try to create a logical and self-consistent monotheistic mythology system as much as possible.

Just like what happened in today's cities, although people can comment and speculate on the church as long as they don't deliberately slander the sacred, in other words, there is a strange setting of freedom of speech in this respect.

Although it is not stated clearly, it is just a normal right to freedom of speech anyway. If someone is confused about the reality and tries to use it as a springboard to obtain a path to higher power, or even try to use it to grasp the right to interpret religion——

The taste of the stake will probably make them remember this lesson forever in their next life.

In fact, in this era, there are always a lot of guys who want to put all their eggs in one basket to get ahead. During this period of time, no less than double digits of "heretics" have been burned to death in the square.

Wugeng Liuli saw it once before, and her face turned pale with shock, and she was terrified by the fanaticism of the surrounding crowd. From then on, whenever there was a trial of heresy in the temple square, she would find an excuse to hide far away.

It's just that after more than a dozen guys were burned to death one after another, the others seemed to be frightened. They haven't heard of such "heresy" appearing in the past half month.

The black cat felt very unacceptable to such a blatant massacre, and she was in a trance for a few days after that. After all, as a modern civilized person, she saw with her own eyes that a living person was pushed to the stake and burned to death .

The psychological impact of this scene is too great.

But at any rate, she also knew that this was one of the rules of this era. She was able to survive unharmed and live better than most people because she was under the protection of the rules.

——Her identity is the high priest belonging to the religious forces, and she has the protection of the gods.

People should not think about problems out of their own class. It’s not that they can’t do it, but if they do it, they should consider whether they can bear the consequences.

Although the nature of the black cat is kind, she is not a saint, and she knows that she has no way to change the world.What's more, isn't it normal to be prepared to pay the price before you want to achieve a certain goal?
At least under the lie detection effect of divine magic, these incidents can accurately capture the real people involved, rather than unconditionally implicated relatives, which is already considered good.

"It's really troublesome. Are these stories not logical at all?"

While recalling the changes in her mind during this period of time, while struggling to read the information on the table in front of her, the girl soon complained dissatisfied.

Her job is to assemble all kinds of weird versions of the story and compile the "Bible" that belongs to the official authority-that is, the collection of religious settings.

Because although people are not prohibited from embellishing and beautifying gods, if we just let various versions of different myths develop...

The final result is bound to lead to the division of religion.

And Black Cat has the skills to write light novels. Although her original works have never been selected, at least her own appreciation skills should not be bad, after all, she is also a veteran in the ACG field.

She can't write good works by herself, but she can tell whether other people's works are good or bad based on the combination of subject matter, creativity, writing and plot, and know what is good and what is bad.

In other words, Black Cat is not suitable for taking the original route, but it has the ability to reprocess other people's works.

If the essence of this matter is about a contracting project for game production, then she can't be a screenwriter who writes copywriting and storytelling, but she can become an artist who designs characters to match the story.

Therefore, the arrangement of letting her codify teachings and process myths based on other people's brains seems to be really giving the best of her talents.

Applying what she has learned and being a professional counterpart, but such benefits did not make Wu Geng Liuli feel so excited, because it was inconsistent with her imaginary experience in the fantasy world.

Although the floating city itself is fantastic and the living conditions are quite superior, but...

I shouldn't be a traveling mage, traveling around the world on foot, seeing countless strange and exotic scenery along the way, and then getting involved in a huge conspiracy to overthrow the world intentionally or unintentionally, and then getting acquainted with a lot of handsome men and beauties in other worlds ——

That's right!That's it, shouldn't this be the way of kingship unfolding?

"It's wrong, it shouldn't be, you are simply thinking too much." A slightly indifferent voice sounded from behind, mercilessly hitting the girl's romantic imagination.

"Nonsense, I think it's because it didn't unfold like this that made me feel so boring..."

Wu Geng Liuli is conditioned to argue with reason. She doesn't think she is Ye Gong and a good dragon, but now she feels so boring in the fantasy world view, it must not be her problem.

But soon, she found out who the problem was, sat up in shock, turned around and looked behind her——

"You you you you—!! Who are you, trespassing on the temple... Wait, it's you!"

The person who came was a teenager, and at some point he stood behind him, scaring the black cat almost into cardiac arrest.But soon, she immediately confirmed the other party's identity as if she had activated her soul intuition.

The deity of the gods, the chief culprit who caused me to suffer for a whole month...

Moreover, vaguely, there was another special feeling that flashed past Wu Geng Liuli's heart, but because it appeared too quickly, it disappeared too quickly, and she didn't have time to catch it at all.

"It seems to work quite well..."

Mu Xiu carefully looked at the girl in front of him, then nodded thoughtfully.

She is a beautiful Japanese girl with beautiful long black hair and fair skin, but she has a gloomy personality and looks quite inaccessible.Just like it is now, it should be the high priest's robe with both holy and mysterious charm——

It also looks like a gothic lolita style when she wears it, as if she can use black magic in the next moment.

Maybe it's because she's so petite? !

"What do you mean..." The black cat had already recovered its normal thinking ability, and its voice trembled with anger in an instant, "Do you think this is very interesting?"

Probably because of the resentment and anger accumulated for a month, when she finally saw the culprit appearing at this time, she almost couldn't help it and was about to explode, and also misunderstood the meaning of the other party's words.

The reason why I almost couldn't help it was because she couldn't bear it. As for the reason...

"No, I'm here to settle this month's task rewards for you now."

Mu Xiu said in a very relaxed and natural tone, "After the early morning, the little vitality I injected into your body will be completely exhausted."

In short, the black cat's forced immortality can be terminated, and she can go back.

"..."

As a matter of course, the girl who was about to vent her anger suddenly got stuck.

She just felt that the anger in her heart could not be vented, and she wanted to yell at the other party desperately, but she was worried that the other party would unreasonably take this opportunity to detain her again for a month.

——Wouldn't it be bad if it turned into the situation of "three years later and three years later".

She didn't suspect at all how bad the other party's character was.
After all, from the very beginning, the contract between him and himself was one of forced buying and selling. I owed him a hundred wishes before I knew anything about it...
