I kissed the statue at the beginning and I vomited all over the floor

"Just like what that half-elf said, what an interesting human being."

After making several teeth-grinding sounds of bones rubbing against each other, Comrade Old Skeleton finally broke the silence.

“So, let’s talk about theology.

I remember you said this at the time.

Identification with the values ​​of God is the first step in faith.

This idea sounds quite novel, but I have a question:

If the god himself does not know whether his own values ​​are correct, what should the god do? "

"You brought me to such a dangerous place just to talk about this?"

Alvin stared at the skeleton's...skeleton face with an unhappy expression.

"The fact that a god can start to think about this question proves that this god has begun to dialectically reason with himself...

How should I put it? I am one step ahead in thought.

Then I don’t think there is any right or wrong in values ​​themselves… This may sound a bit awkward;

Values ​​will not remain unchanged. They will constantly adjust themselves as the world develops to adapt to the needs of the world.

To put it in terms that you can understand, it means better guiding the creatures who believe in it.

So there is no right or wrong in values, only whether they are suitable for the current situation. "

The old skeleton rubbed his chin with his finger bones, as if thinking about the human's answer.

"I agree that the gods need to constantly improve their will. If it were earlier...

Unfortunately, not all gods have such thoughts. They are stubborn and extremely persistent.

Just like Rose at that time, she was just insisting on a set of values ​​that were not accepted by the gods and creatures, and eventually died because of it.

If you follow my point of view, almost all people who are unwilling to self-... self-dialectic, this word is really strange.

Gods who are unwilling to self-dialectic will be close to extinction when their values ​​no longer meet the needs of the creatures on the plane..."

"Yes."

Alvin carefully lay on the edge of the small square platform and looked down, trying hard to find the figure of the old bootlicker.

“But judging from this, I’m afraid there will be no gods in this plane’s future.

After all, whether good or evil, most are just like that silly girl Rose."

"Old man, your views are too absolute."

"Oh? What do you say?"

"Besides Rose, have other gods died?"

"Of course."

The old skeleton thought about it and realized that he had killed quite a few people.

"Are there any new gods?"

"Uh...huh?"

"Of course there should be some, right?"

Ivan finally found the figure of the dog licker. To be precise, he found the small black dot next to the paw - this was the only way to see it from such a long distance.

"So, old man, haven't you noticed that God is actually part of the ecological cycle?"

For a moment, the old skeleton was stunned.

The depression that had troubled him for nearly ten thousand years, the depression that made him willing to separate his physical body and walk around the world as a skeleton, was resolved in that instant.

That human boy...

Alvin didn't notice the changes in the old skeleton. He was squinting his eyes, wanting to see how the dog was hugging and lifting the meatball up high.

While trying to look far away, he continued to express his views.

"Since gods exist in this world, and I heard from the priests that gods are involved in the operation of the world,

Then the gods must, as a high-dimensional ideology, participate in the rise and fall of this world.

Just like the magic that I don't understand, it's all part of the ecological cycle.

So birth, aging, sickness and death... I mean the elimination of old gods and the birth of new gods, this is normal, isn't it?"

After saying that, he turned around from the edge of the small square platform, and only then did he discover the strange appearance of the old skeleton.

This undead spirit, which had been behaving disrespectfully since its appearance, was now completely still.

Including the soul flame burning in the eye sockets, everything was now like a frozen picture, without any movement.

"Hey, hey, don't scare me!

How can a few words cause a death... a death of a ghost...

Hey! Old man! You can't play like this!

If you hang up, who will take me down?"

……

Just as Alvin was struggling with how to perform CPR on a skeleton, in the open space below the tower, a male moon elf was hugging a ball, and the man and the ball were chatting incoherently.

"Were all the imprisoned moon elves successfully rescued?"

"Well, a group of druids opened the door of the dungeon, and then were teleported away with the help of an old man. They should be in the depths of the Gray Haze Forest now."

“It’s them…

What about Frey? I saw her in the watchtower before."

"Your student is safe. The old man should know where she is."

"Poor Frey, I saw her face has recovered before, she is still so cute..."

"You, you have done enough for your student and those moon elves who don't even know your name."

"By the way, who is that old guy you're always talking about?"

"That, you should also be familiar with it..."

……

It took a while for the old skeleton to recover from this state of complete stagnation.

As soon as he woke up, he saw the human in front of him with his hands folded together, pressing them on his sternum again and again.

"Little one, what are you doing?"

"Heart and lungs... eh? Awake?

It really works!

I just cast dozens of healing spells but there was no response..."

"You are the first person to cast a healing spell on the undead."

In fact, the old man also knew about it. The short half-elf mentioned the story of how Ivan used a magic to make Frey look beautiful.

But after all, healing spells are ineffective against the undead, and any spellcaster with a little common sense would not do this.

But he still felt a little relieved in his heart - even when he was a god before, no one cared so much about his life or death.

“Okay little one, we can’t stay here any longer.

Thank you for what you said just now. I think I can find a new path. "

After saying that, he was about to raise his hand to cast a teleportation spell, but fortunately he threw this human with a mouth away before he could say anything bad.

Unfortunately, he was still a step too late.

"Old man, can you save the two elves down there?

I can guess that since you are a god, you will definitely have a way, right..."

Stopping what he was doing, the old skeleton tilted his head and carefully looked at the human in front of him again.

“Those views of yours are more cruel than I thought;

But you, as a human being, are not so ruthless."

After looking at the two creatures who were being affectionate with each other below, the old skeleton nodded, which was considered as his agreement.

"Well, human boys, if they don't object, I think I can take them with me to help me with some errands.

Now, get out of here—"

This time the old skeleton did not hesitate. He just raised his hand and the human in front of him disappeared.

……

"Lati, you really don't want to leave here?

Although you have become like this, we can find a place where there are no elves or other creatures..."

"Leia, when I merged with this divine creature, I thought I no longer had the chance and courage to survive.

I'm sorry, Leia, please forgive my female stubbornness...

You should leave quickly, the subsidence will soon end, and those irrational moon elves will wake up, you need to run away in advance..."

"Rati, do you think I can leave you and live alone?

Since this is the end day you have chosen, there is nothing wrong with me staying with you.

Who knows, you will agree to me in the next life..."

"Isn't that stupid..."

"Cough-cough-"

A figure in a white robe suddenly appeared in front of the two elves.

“Excuse me!

You can continue flirting later."

“Ha, Lati!

This is the old guy.

Don't be fooled by his scary appearance, jargon-like speech, and somewhat violent tendencies.

But this is the real elven god of nature, Rillifane Rorazil.

Hi, old man!

This is my goddess Lati..."

“Shut up, you!

Just like that human boy, he makes people angry as soon as he opens his mouth!

Let's get down to business, you two.

I have found a new path and I am going to try it out. Are you interested in joining me?

And then by the way, think about how to return my body to me? "
