Cloud Thinking

"Come here uninvited? Aren't you the one who came here? What qualifications do you have to reject me on her behalf?" Freya mocked, "Don't forget, you are the one who should not be here."

After hearing this, Wattsise laughed. It was a laugh that came from the heart. He looked at Freya steadily and said with a smile, "Aya is my daughter. As a father, isn't it my duty to protect my daughter from being disturbed by rude guests like you?"

"Who do you think you are? How dare you shout in my territory?"

The beautiful garden scenery around him slowly changed the moment he finished speaking. All the flowers and leaves began to wither and turned into ashes bit by bit. The cobblestone path also seemed to melt, soaked by the red blood that surged up from the ground and turned into scarlet soil.

The clear day was swallowed up by the night, and a blood moon slowly hung above the branches, shrouding the surrounding scenery in a layer of dark and ominous red light.

This is Watersise's territory. If he really means it, even if Freya is a god, she will not be able to escape without losing a lot of skin.

"You are protecting her, but aren't you afraid that she will betray you one day? She is not as simple as she seems." Freya's eyes darkened, and that kind and tolerant face was stained with murderous intent.

He can give life, but He can also take it away.

"I hope to see such a situation one day. It means that my Aya has grown up and wants to break free from my arms. I am willing to be a stepping stone for her to climb up." Watersise was not angry at all. Such low-level provocation had no effect on him at all.

"I don't care what you want to discuss with Aya, but if you want to have a good conversation, then show your sincerity and don't do those things in secret to threaten her. If you push her too hard, she will fight you to the death."

After Helia left, Al quickly told Freya about their conversation in detail. He didn't expect Helia to be so wary. He thought that while the other party still had his scent on her tonight, he could take the opportunity to sneak into her dream and talk to her. However, he didn't expect that Watersise was guarding in Helia's sea of ​​consciousness, as if to be on guard against him.

Although Watersise is a fallen god and his power is not as great as before, this is not Freya's home ground and his power has been greatly weakened. Moreover, he has placed his clone into Watersise's territory. As long as the other party wants, his clone will not be able to be saved and his power will be weakened again.

Moreover, after this incident, Helia would probably be more wary of him in the future, and it would be difficult to contact him again. He was unwilling to give up today's good opportunity, but he was indeed restricted by Watersise.

Freya felt the heat around her and the pain on the soles of her bare feet. If she didn't leave soon, it would be too late.

"You'd better protect her for the rest of your life." Freya left a harsh remark before her figure gradually disappeared into the realm, looking very embarrassed.

Watersise felt Helia, who was still immersed in a dreamless night, and confirmed that she was sleeping soundly and didn't notice the movement here at all. Then he slowly switched the form of the domain, holding the scissors and continued to trim the branches of the flowers in the garden, as calmly as if nothing had just happened.

The next morning, Helia was awakened by the dazzling light outside the window. She opened her sleepy eyes, raised her hand to wipe the wet saliva from the corner of her mouth, stretched out on the bed, and made strange shouts that did not belong to humans.

Every morning she would briefly cosplay as a monkey that had failed to evolve. She would twist and turn on the bed, stretching every part of her body before reluctantly getting out of bed.

"Ah! What a comfortable sleep!" Helia shouted loudly, and turned around to find that her window was not closed, and the curtains fluttered in the wind.

"Didn't I close the window last night?" She walked forward puzzledly, stuck her head out to look around, and didn't find anything unusual, so she retracted her neck and pulled the wide-open window back a little.

Helia, who was washing up, looked at herself in the mirror, as if she had thought of something, and asked, "Father, someone came to see me last night, right?"

"Did it disturb you?" Watersiser did not deny it.

"No, I slept well last night, but I remember that I always close the windows before going to bed every night. The wind was so strong that if I didn't close the windows, I would definitely be woken up by the cold in the middle of the night." Helia spit out the water in her mouth and analyzed seriously, "But I didn't, so it must be Father God who did something to make me sleep so soundly."

"Well, Freya came last night and looked very fierce. You'd better be careful in the future. She doesn't seem to be as easy to talk to as she appears to be." Watersise reminded.

"Well, I know that a god who enjoys a large number of offerings in the southern continent with 'simple folk customs' is definitely not a simple creature." Helia smiled.

Originating from the snowy Nochton Mountain in the westernmost Tulton Kingdom, the Fere Ganges River runs through the entire continent from west to east, and finally flows into the sea on the east side of the continent. It passes through three countries on the continent, has many tributaries, and feeds nearly 60% of the population on the entire continent. It is a well-deserved mother river.

It was this river that naturally divided the Otis Empire into two parts, north and south. The imperial capital was located in the northern continent, and due to its rich mineral and land resources, it developed rapidly.

As for the southern continent, the land near the Fere Ganges River is fertile, but the rest of the place is barren due to the influence of the war of gods in ancient times. Even after nearly a thousand years, it has only recovered to some extent, but will soon be destroyed again by the war.

Therefore, the development of the southern continent was very difficult. The people there depended on the weather and the land for food. If they were not full, they would start fighting. They would fight every three days and every five days. Claude wanted to rectify the south, but there was such a wide river in the middle, and transportation was inconvenient. Even if he wanted to, he was powerless.

Therefore, the southern continent can basically be said to be left alone. If the empire has the spare time and energy, it will take action to manage it. If it doesn't have the spare time, it will just let them cause trouble on their own. Anyway, with the Ferrie Ganges River there, it is difficult for people in the south to run to the north to cause trouble, so there will be no major turmoil.

The southern continent, where slash-and-burn agriculture has not yet been completely abandoned, can be said to be known for its barbarism and uncivilized nature. People here can't even get enough to eat every day, so how can they have the mood to worship gods!

In order to gain the faith of the southern people, the Goddess of Fengze must solve their food and clothing problems, that is, the land problem. Helia did not think that He had the ability to turn the barren land that could not recover naturally for thousands of years into fertile soil that could feed tens of millions of people in an instant.

Even if He really has such power, the input and output are not proportional. He has put in a huge amount of effort to feed the people in the south, but the people in the south can give very little in return to Him. As Adalasi said, faith is just a dessert after a meal, which is too little for a god.

Therefore, the Goddess of Fengze can enjoy a large amount of offerings in the southern continent, and even develop to the northern continent. She must have done something else to make up for her losses.

So, what is the most abundant thing in the southern continent? The barren land brought by war, and the battlefield of gods.

He became stronger by devouring the remains of ancient gods.

Helia didn't think that in Freya's eyes, she was no different from those fallen gods. They were all just waiting meals for her. She had had enough of the south, so she wanted to try something else in the north, right?

If this is true, then as the host, Helia feels that she needs to entertain this distant guest well.

I just don't know if the gods are interested in this goddess who loves to eat other people's corpses.

Helia was very busy, running back and forth between the dormitory, the cafeteria, the training ground and Levita's office every day. So when Al decided to find Helia for a reply, he couldn't find her free time. It kept dragging on like this until one day, for some reason, Lydia and Al started fighting.

When Helia arrived at the fight, the winner had already been decided. Lydia was injured by Al, and her identity as an orc was almost exposed on the spot. Helia was so angry that she almost wanted to kill the other party on the spot, but Levita came too fast. Before she could do anything, Al was punished by Levita for a month of confinement on the pretext of private fighting.

She had forgotten that Levita was also a protective person. Al had hurt his most precious apprentice. No matter who started it first, the one who was most seriously injured would always have some truth in the matter.

Not to mention that they encountered Helia and Levita, two people who were protective of their own shortcomings. They were not reasonable people. Once their bottom line was touched, the other party would face their endless revenge.

Sitting beside the bed, Helia stared at Lydia without saying a word, her face serious, and she seemed very angry. Lydia didn't know what to do. She remembered that she would feel very good when Helia touched her ears and tail, so she let her tail out and forcefully stuffed it into Helia's hand for her to touch.

But today Helia didn't buy it. "Put your tail away, and then tell me in detail why you fought with others."

Even if Lydia didn't say it, Helia guessed that this fight must have been started by Lydia. Al was busy currying favor with her during this period, so there was no reason for him to take the initiative to hurt her.

"I hate the smell of her." Lydia felt a little aggrieved. She reached out to hook Helia's fingers and rubbed them flatteringly.

"We've been on a team before, why haven't I seen you fight with her before?" Helia was soft-hearted and her anger had subsided by half, so she let the other party play with her fingers.

Lydia frowned, as if she was thinking about how to express it. After a long while, she stammered, “I didn’t smell it before, but in the past few days, she came to see you, and I smelled it.”

"I can't really describe what that smell is, but I just felt that it was dangerous. I felt that she would do something bad to you, so I went to ask her questions."

"But she refused to tell me and kept emphasizing that she would not hurt me. I could smell her murderous scent, but she still lied to me. I couldn't help it and started a fight with her."

Orcs have more sensitive five senses, so Lydia probably really smelled something she couldn't smell, perhaps it was Freya's breath. Who knows, that guy might have possessed Al, thinking of finding a chance to meet with Helia and then take the opportunity to attack her.

God can descend upon his believers. Helia has verified this with Netina. Out of caution, Helia had better stay away from Al.

Of course, the best way is to get rid of Al directly, but Helia doesn't want to alert the enemy. What if there are other followers of Fengze in the academy? Now it's enough for one person to come out and attract attention. If they really make trouble in the academy, she won't be able to prevent it! After all, this is not her home!

"You can't beat her?" Helia asked. She was not questioning Lydia's strength. On the contrary, she knew very well how strong Lydia was. They had been together for nearly two months, and she watched Lydia train every night, so she naturally knew Lydia's true strength.

She is an orc, and her strength and explosiveness are far superior to those of ordinary people. Not to mention Levita's careful guidance, Lydia is now at least at the level of a fifth-rank magic swordsman, on par with Genna and Mirang.

As for Al, although she didn't know her, she always felt that with similar talent levels, there was no reason why Lydia would lose to her.

And if Al was really good, she shouldn't be unknown in the academy, but the fact is, if she hadn't teamed up with Helia before, Helia might not even remember her.

"I can't beat her, absolutely. She's so strong and agile, she dodged every one of my blows." Lydia said dejectedly, looking like a puppy who had lost a fight outside, and came home with his head down, crying to his owner.
