Chapter 285 [Mythicus the Goddess]

"Master Dewey, you like stories, don't you? So let me tell you a story too… it's also about Matthews. However, the version that Maximus said is a bit different...”

After listening to this, Dewey suddenly bounced off the ground, and his expression couldn't tell if he was angry or desperate. Instead, he laughed three times, pointing to the beast in front of him and shouted, “Okay! What an Aragon! What a Matthews! What a QQ lord! I'm impressed with you! Come on, what's the bigger story? Why don't you just say it all at once so I don't have to jump out and scare the shit out of you again! ”

Honestly, Dewey is a little angry with shame... Shit, anyone else has to be angry! Dewey's own psychological endurance is tough enough! Two Gandolphs emerged white and green before, and he endured. Aragon, the Founding Emperor, was actually a comrade through, and he put up with it. Even QQ said something about "3,000 people in Kali's rear palace, iron rods ground into embroidered needles," and Dewey put up with it!

But now?

You must say that the greatest figure in the history of the Light God Temple of the Continent, His Holiness the First Pope, was... a fucking bird!

This kind of thing, anyone else is going crazy.

QQ has restored calm. This beast, who has always lived in grace and style, blinked his small eyes at Dewey: “Well, it seems you have calmed down. Since this is the case, can I start telling stories? ”

“Say it...” Dewey held his head in anguish: "I am ready for the mind, even if you now turn into a cross, claiming that you are Jesus Christ, I am not surprised... Say it! ”

“Jesus Christ... Well, in that case, Lord Aragon said it back then, but I don't know what that means.” QQ came out of God for a while and started telling another version of the story about Matthews.

“Most of what Maximus and his entourage say is true, but not many people know about my own history.

About a thousand years ago, the Roland continent —— oh, I forgot, at that time, the continent was not called the Roland continent, and that name was changed only after the establishment of the Roland Empire. Let me think... at that time, the name of this continent was... ”

Speaking of which, Dewey impatiently interrupted it: "Let's not go into the details, let's pick the main point. ”

“Okay.” QQ seemed impatient with Dewey, but still did what Dewey asked, speeding up and skipping these “insignificant” details:

“The homeland of Aragon is the south-central part of the continent, a place originally known as the Kingdom of Rosé, which is now about 600 kilometres south of the emperor in the area around the Rhone Valley. The Kingdom of Rosé is not large, and in the early days, out of the dozens of countries in the mainland woods, it was only moderately inferior. And not strong… The kingdom is not rich in samurai and warriors, but is famous for producing quality wines. As you can imagine, such a small and weak country, in that time in the woods of nations, was bullied.

Me and Aragon were born in a small town in the south of the Kingdom of Rosé. Maximus told the story that I was a priest in the Light Church religious center in that town. Well, that's the official record. But the truth is... hey, all my life, I never believed in that goddess of goddamn light. ”

Dewey believed that if the last word came out, it would drive the whole Light Temple crazy!

One of the creators of the Temple of Light, the great founder, His Holiness the First Pope, actually said that he “has never believed in that goddess of goddess of light in his life. ”

In that case... hey hey!

“At that time, the town and the surrounding land belonged to the family of Lord Aragon, whose father was a nobleman and a small nobleman. It depends on the production of several vineyards around the town. Master Aragon is the youngest son in the family and a young master. And I, my father, was a farmer in a vineyard, employed by the noble lord. If nothing had changed, I should have inherited the fatherhood and become a grape-growing farmer on the right track.

I was two years younger than Aragon. When I was little, the owner of Aragon was the head of all the children in the estate. He was smart, strong, resolute, and gifted with leadership... Oh, and of course, he had another problem, which was good color. I still remember clearly that when I was 10 years old, at night, he dragged me to peek into the farm housekeeper's daughter's bath... uh, just outside that house, I was squatting on the floor, and Master Aragon stepped on my shoulder and looked at me on the wall... and afterwards he said to me, 'Dear brother, you'll love these lovely women in the future too'. I was young at the time, so I didn't know what he meant by those words.

He loved me so much that he thought I was the person he trusted the most, and my father died, and I was too young to do those heavy farming jobs in the estate. At that time, the only people who didn't work were starving to death. And I can't finish my farm every day, even if I'm half tired. It was Aragon who saved me. He stole bread in the kitchen at night, came out to find me, and ate it for me. Later, in fear of starving me to death, he offered to transfer me to the nobleman's house as his servant. At that time, I stopped calling him "master".

Dewey, you're the smartest person I've ever met... but Aragon seems as smart to me as you are. You make these things, like balloons that can fly in the sky, like in the military, where you let soldiers kick soccer to exercise. Well, you'd be surprised, because these things, a thousand years ago, Master Aragon had thought of them!

When I was his servant, on one occasion, he painted a picture of this hot air balloon that you made, and he told me that you could fly to the sky with this stuff. I was excited to hear that. But after Master Aragon finished the painting, he thought for a long time and burned the painting with his own hands. No one saw it! I asked him why, but he didn't talk, he just looked at me and said to himself, 'Do it again, what's the point... you don't understand, it's just a round.’

He is one of those people who often says things that are too high and too deep to be understood.

Well, Dewey, those squares you made me recognize the other day, they were taught to me by Aragon. I don't know what that word is. He taught me word for word. I worshipped him even more because he was able to create a text. But now it seems that... Dewey, this text was not created by Master Aragon, but was already there. 'Cause you know the same thing. Isn't it?

I was his servant, but he was more like my teacher, and he taught me a lot of things. Later, a lot of people said I was a ‘smart Mayhews’ and a 'learned Mayhews’, but most of the things I knew were taught to me by Master Aragon.

He's so smart. And while he was still at home, because he was not the eldest son, he had no inheritance rights, and he had never tried to compete for anything. Both of his brothers fought desperately in front of the noble lord, trying to show themselves and gain the joy of their father. But Master Aragon never did. Instead, it brought him peace, and the other two brothers had fought in secret before, but they had no difficulty with him. So we've been having a great time.

The time lasted until Master Aragon was sixteen years old, he decided to run away from home, he said to me that the outside world was huge, he said to me that the world was about to change, he said to me that the continent would no longer be the world it used to be, he said to me... oh, I forgot, he said a lot to me, unfortunately the time was too far away, many memories were already blurred.

That year, he was 16 and I was 14. I followed him, left home with him, and left the town. I asked him why now and why he chose to leave now. He just told me: 'Cause it's time.

I never really understood his heart. I can feel Aragon feeling lonely all his life, because he seemed to have some secrets inside, but never told anyone. He thought of me as the closest person and taught me a new way of thinking, so that he could relieve that feeling of loneliness a little bit. He used to say to me, "Fortunately for you, I have at least one person who can speak and communicate."

After that, you can refer to the Founding Emperor's lifetime memoirs. We'll take risks together. When he went to the mercenary regiment as a knight, I acted as his squire, helping him wash his weapons and feed his horses. When he's in business, I'll be his sidekick, helping him calculate goods sales and profits. The last time we were ready to go out, because I was seasick, he didn't let me go out with him, he let me wait ashore.

Turns out, after his boat went out to sea, he was in a shipwreck, and I was very sad when I got the news that he was dead. Then I waited for a full month at the port before finally waiting for him to come back.

His first words when he saw me were: 'Well, remember today, legend begins today! ’

In that shipwreck, he lost almost all of his property, and almost all of the money we had accumulated as mercenaries had gone to the bottom of the ocean. But Aragon seemed happy, and he didn't show any discouragement. Instead, he took me home with him.

His father died soon afterwards, and as his youngest son, he did not inherit the title, but received only a small inheritance.

And then again... Dewey, as you probably know, the rest of the story has been documented in the history of Continental General, and Master Aragon has organized a small private army with his legacy. The move was laughed at by many people. That militia was friends we had known for years outside as mercenaries, and Aragon brought them all together.

But then, it turns out, he did the right thing. Less than two years later, wars broke out on the continent, the Kingdom of Rosé was involved in the war, this weak kingdom was almost extinct at one time, and Master Aragon, in the midst of the war, began to spread with that small private army, one step at a time, on the stage of history.

For the first few years, we went very well, and I've been there for him as his most trusted assistant... oh, just like you and Philip. He'll talk to me about a lot of things. But at that time, he didn't let me hold any public office, he kept me as his personal advisor, and many people didn't even know I existed. I never complained, because it seemed to me that I could devote my whole life to him, and as for power, I didn't care.

And... it turns out he had plans already! He asked me to do something bigger for him, so I wasn't fit to throw my head off. ”

“Wait!” Dewey heard God, and then suddenly he said, “No! That's not true! According to Maximus' story and historical records, Micheus should be the priest in that town's religious center! But you said you left with Aragon when you were 14? ”

“That's right.” QQ glanced at Dewey: “Didn't you say that yourself? History books tend to lie. It's not as simple as the book says. ”

“One day Aragon found me in private, and he told me that there was something very important I had to do. This is very important and dangerous. Especially... he couldn't find anyone he could trust to do it except me. I'm the only one. I have no hesitation, because I am willing to sacrifice for him.

Later, we talked for a long time and started our plan, which Aragon and I privately called 'Tampering God’! It means usurping the power of the gods in man!

Expansion of the army does not solve all problems. There were so many religions on the continent, so many different churches, so many different faiths... so many different gods. And the conquest of force does not conquer the human mind. So we decided to use religion! But we can't create a religion on our own, and it's too late. There can only be one religion. We chose the Church of Light. Because it has the largest number of followers, the greatest help can be given to Aragon.

And then I started walking onto my stage.

We secretly took people back to their hometown, back to the religious place in that town. Because of the war, the priests in the town's religious centres are dead. There's hardly anyone else in town. We found all the records and literature in the religious establishment, and after a careful reading, Aragon set fire to the evidence against us, leaving only some in our favor.

And then I dyed my hair with a special magic potion, which really hurts me, because ordinary dyes can only discolor my hair for a while, for a long time, and the color of my new hair will still be the same as before. And the drugs that Master Aragon makes are different. That drug made my scalp sore and itchy, and eventually it caused peeling. After a month, when my scalp grew back, all the new hair that grew turned blonde.

I drank a drug that radically changed my voice, and Aragon taught me a skill that changed my bone growth and made my height grow within two months.

These processes are very painful, but I am willing to give everything to Master Aragon.

After two months of preparation, I boarded the Goddess of Light Church robe. And Aragon said to me, 'Remember, from today onwards, your name is Mayhews, and your identity is a young priest in the religious center of the next remote town of the Church of Light. Your entire curriculum vitae is clearly written in these materials, and I think you're familiar with it.'.

Of course I'm back-to-back!

Aragon trusted me, and he taught me a lot since I was a kid, and he once said that if I wasn't with him, with my own talents and brains, I could accomplish a great career. So he often felt sorry for me.

In those two months, I endured pain in my scalp, pain in my voice, changes in bone growth. I recite the Goddess of the Church of Light every day.

Two months later, I'm sure my familiarity with the Goddess doctrine will never be worse than any true priest!

Then we started the Tampering God program!

From that day on, I was renamed ‘Matthews’, and I was no longer the son of a farmer, nor the servant of Master Aragon. My identity is Matthews, a young priest of the Church! ”

QQ's laughter grew ever more cunning and insidious: "Then, as Messiah, I went to contact the power of other Churches of Light. In those days, the Church of Light, though vast, was loosely organized and did not yet have a unified and rigorous system. As a priest of the Church, I easily entered the interior of the Church of Light, and I was of good descent, documenting that I had been a devout believer since I was a child. Of course no one would suspect me. I quickly gathered people within the church with funds from Aragon, and then I used my influence to gather church power in small places to support Aragon. Aragon then comes forward and deals with several faction leaders of the Church in exchange for the Church's support for his reunification of the continent at the cost of establishing the Orthodox legitimacy of the Goddess Church. And me, in the process, is getting higher and higher... the next thing, I don't have to say it! ”

At the end of the day, make Dewey sweat all over the face!

Matthews! That's where Matthews came from! This is the secret of true Matthews!!

The founder of what made the Temple… the greatest goddess believer.

It's all a conspiracy!

Project Tamper... God!

“In other words, the true Messiah died in the war a long time ago. And you, after consulting with Aragon, enter the church under false pretenses, and then… use the power of the church step by step to complete the war of reunification.” Dewey sighed: “Good conspiracy! All right! Good plan! So cheerful!! ”

He even said a few “good” words and had to deeply admire Aragon for this long term calculation!

“In fact, while we use the Church of Light, we soon discovered a problem, and as the cause of Aragon's reunification progressed, the power under the Thornflower banner grew. And the Church, too, is growing! This is definitely not a good signal for the future! A stable empire can only have a strong central presence! If an empire had two powerful core circles, it would definitely be a source of turmoil. And the development of the Church has inspired a lot of clerics within the Church, ambitious clerics, beginning to fantasize about all the ridiculous things. For example... theocracy.

They began to fantasize, harness the influence of the Church, control everything, and take the power of the Church over secular power, and religion became the only dominant power in the world. Any imperial king nobleman must submit to the Church.

But the greedy ones know nothing but idols and conspiracies. What do they know? They are greedy as pigs, vicious as snakes, if they control the supreme power and become the masters of the continent... Hmm, do they know how to govern the country?

Of course, I wouldn't have cared too much about these gods.

Because these guys are vicious and greedy, but they were useful at least then. But Aragon and I don't think so. He has always been very constrained by the Church.

Especially since one thing happened!

Dewey, I think since you've read the teachings of the Light Temple, you must have seen the famous‘ miracle ’in the teachings! ”

Dewey nodded.

The teachings of the Light Temple are similar to those of the Christian Bible of Dewey's previous life.

In addition to propagating the Goddess doctrine, the Church has also deified and glorified the process of the creation of the Light Temple. One of the most important chapters is a story that was originally thought by Dewey to be bullshit:

When the Light Empire was founded, and the Church of the Light Goddess of the Aragon Alliance, it was also very powerful. At this time, there was a cry from everyone below for the establishment of a strong and sacred religious organization, a united and rigorous organization to control the teaching of the glorious areas of the Goddess.

At this time, under a single cry, suddenly a miracle of the goddess appeared! This is thought to be the Church's recognition and authorization by the Goddess!

This record, most non-believers, snort, and the wise believe that it was invented by the temple to glorify themselves. Including Dewey.

Especially inside the Magician Guild, and disrespect this so-called miracle!

Here's the thing:

The last chapter of the first volume of the Book of the Church is called 'The Goddess Gives the Temple Perpetual Glory’.

Legend has it that on the eve of the establishment of the Empire, the head of the Church of the Goddess of Light at that time, Messius, the first Pope of the Temple of Light later, His Majesty, was guided by the Goddess in his sleep, and the Goddess of Dreams sent down her teachings and told Her Majesty that he was ordered to go to a hilltop northwest of the Empire City at noon the following day to receive the miracle of the Goddess.

His Majesty then bathed in Ramadan, and the next day at noon, without any entourage, alone, barefoot hiking, came to the top of the mountain, and even if the sharp stone cut off his feet, it could not block the devout heart of His Majesty the Great!

And just at noon, above the sky, the sun is situated just above man's head, the miracle of the coming of the goddess as promised! In the blink of an eye, even a hundred miles away, you can feel the hidden vibrations of the earth, and the red light comes out a thousand miles, and the sky is above Cabernet Sauvignon!

At the end of the day, countless meteorites fell on the sky! At that time, people were panicking about what kind of disaster it was. But those meteorites that descended from the sky landed in the capital city under construction, at the headquarters of the Church of the Goddess of Light at that time (there was no temple at that time), but when the meteorite was about to land, it slowed down and floated gently to the ground. When people in the church looked at the past, they found the dense and numb engraving of these meteorites in all sorts of words, the contents of which are...

The goddess came to teach the Church 'Divine Arts’!

By teaching these ‘divinity' to the Church, the Goddess enables the Church's people to learn these powerful divinity and have the power to defend the authority and honor of the Church!

Until then, the Church of the Goddess of Light, though numerous and powerful, was an ordinary person, including the head of the Church, without any spell. And after this‘ miracle ’, a' magician 'appeared inside the church! Defend the authority of the Church against magicians on the continent.

This matter was written on the scriptures of the Light Temple, indicating that one's power in the world is authorized by the Goddess! And this thing, too, has greatly relieved the people of the Light Church!

Because, while the Church of Light believes in the Goddess of Light, it is embarrassing that the Goddess of Light has not come to any miracle for a very long time! Even many hostile religions ridiculed them, saying that the goddess had abandoned them long ago.

The coming of this miracle not only gave the Church of Light a legitimate coat of clothing, but also resolved their crisis of trust. Since then, the Church has gained momentum.

Of course, the Magician's Guild is the first to snort this matter!

Magician Guild has never recognized any “magic”, they believe that only magic studied by Magician is the true meaning of divine power! Everything else is a lie.

And the Church's divine arts, basically, learned some magic and changed them, calling themselves so-called ‘divine arts’, just to glorify themselves.

As for this miracle, the magician generally believed that it had been fabricated by the Church to glorify itself.

Inside the Magician's Guild, it is the Mage who is most loyal to the Gods, because the Magician does not hang the Gods by their mouths like the sticks and pet the crowd. Mage devotion to the Spirit is expressed in practical action: every Mage has spent his whole life trying to drill down on the power of the Spirit!

If the gods are to come to miracles, then it is not the gods' turn! It should be sent down to the magician.

“I've read the teachings, and of course I know the description of this miracle.” Dewey laughed, "But aren't these fabricated? And... objectively, and precisely because of this miracle, it further established your place in the Church! Because the miracle of the Goddess was first notified to you, so that no one could shake your place in the Church, and finally you officially became Pope. You are considered the goddess' spokesperson in the world because you have been given the spirit in the goddess' dream! Right? Had it not been for this, you would not have become Pope! Though you were very prestigious at the time, after all, the heads of several genres did not have low power. ”

“You were right about the second point. Indeed, because of this, I was given a divine coat, and when I finally became pope, no one dared to oppose me or compete with me. But... the first thing you said was wrong! This is not a fabrication… it is true!” QQ's tone is heavy: “The Goddess of Light is truly spiritual! That's when it started… I believe that God does exist. ”

Dewey's expression was a little weird, and he waited quietly for the QQ lord to say the following.

“That night, I dreamed of what the goddess had given me in her sleep. And when I woke up, I thought it was just a dream, but then I realized that there was this thing next to my pillow, a little rock, in my sleep, and the goddess told me," Take this rock and go to the top of that mountain, and you'll meet the miracle of her coming. "That's why I understand, it's not a dream, it's true! ”

When Dewey heard it, she suddenly laughed strangely: “I don't think this goddess has much skill... Hmm, you are obviously a bad guy hidden in the church, you are not a goddess believer at all, and she came to you with a miracle... so confusing. ”

“You're wrong again, Dewey.” QQ sighed: “The Goddess of Light is not so kind. Do you really think she chose me as the spokesperson for the world? Then you're wrong... the Goddess would never have chosen anyone to be her spokesperson! In the eyes of the gods, all humans are small and humble, just like you and I see ants on the earth, would you care if one of them is good or evil? You don't care about such boring questions at all, do you? And the gods look at people like they look at ants! ”

“So... the miracle...”

QQ's tone changed: "Isn't it strange when you look at this passage in the classics? The stones that wrote the magic came directly to the church, so... why would she want me to go to that hilltop? I'm going to the top of that mountain to greet what? You know, it's not in the book! ”

Indeed!

That reminded Dewey immediately, and he frowned: "Yes!! Did you come back from that hilltop empty-handed? ”

QQ did not answer the question directly, but rather said, "Dewey, if you were a herder, would you choose a cattle and sheep as manager in the herd for ease of management when you graze another herd of cattle and sheep? ”

“No.” Dewey shook his head.

“That's it.” QQ sighs: “Herders choose to send a shepherd dog. So... the goddess sent me to the top of the mountain to greet a ‘shepherd dog' she sent to the world! The Spirit is contemptuous of mankind and does not trust mankind. In order to maintain her faith, she did not choose me or any human being to be her spokesperson, but came down a spokesperson! ”

Speaking of which, QQ's eyes are a bit frivolous:

“On that day, I came to the top of the mountain to greet the miracle of the goddess, who came to the earth as an angel… an angel. ”

Dewey's vision flickered...

Angel?!

(This chapter, fixed updates eight thousand words to add a thousand, a total of nine thousand. Yesterday we lost a chapter and owed you 4,000 words. Today I will make up 1,000... forgive me for not being able to make it all up at once. After all, writing more than 10,000 words at a time, the task is really too heavy. I can't really write it in my current state, and this paragraph is important, it takes time to write it well. After all, now this line, everyone can see that it is an important plot and pen, to ensure rigour. I'll make up for it slowly over the next few days and finish it as soon as possible. Anyway, I've always been a good scorer, and I'm sure no one would doubt that.

Finally, the routine is to seek the support of the monthly ticket ~!
