Mysteries

This place may be the palace of the gods.

Neia lowered her gaze, avoiding Ofe's gaze.

Offee stretched out his hand and gently raised his chin: "Now you have come to a place where you can get justice for you."

Neia pursed her lips.

Offie looked at the white skin on his lips, withdrew his hand in disgust, turned around with a chuckle, and walked back to the throne: "However, I can't just believe your one-sided words and convict Sidun. Let you face it. Naya , call Sidun over."

After seeing Neia, Naya, who had been smiling sweetly all the way, changed her expression, and said in a broken voice, "Me?"

Ofe smiled and said, "Didn't you bring him here to surrender to me? Did I get it wrong? Could it be that you are using me? My dear Harvest Goddess."

"Of course not." Naya lowered her head in panic, bowed and stepped back.

After she left, Neia was invited to a seat.

Handfuls of fresh fruit were delivered to the table, and there were large chunks of thick wheat cake next to the fruit plate.

Neia swallowed vaguely, and when Ofe invited him to eat again, she finally stretched out her hand.Although he was extremely hungry, he still maintained an elegant and reserved dining etiquette.Moreover, the stomach that has been hungry for too long cannot bear the normal amount of food, so it stops after eating a little.

Other people in the palace chatted in twos and threes, and Offigao sat at the top, overlooking the crowd.When Neia looked over, she would bring her gaze back and meet his gaze, conveying kindness.

The door was pushed open again, and the hall fell silent.

Gala.

The heavy chains on the shackles dragged on the ground, abruptly cutting off the continuous chatter in the hall.

Neia stared in astonishment at Sidun who took off his red cloak and was bound by iron shackles.When Siston saw him, his pupils shrank slightly, his tightly closed lips were drawn into a line, and he looked at Offie on the high seat with displeasure.

Offee covered her mouth with one hand: "I'm sorry, I forgot that you are still being punished, and you shouldn't be allowed to appear in front of your sweetheart in a shackled and embarrassed posture."

Sidun said, "What are you going to do?"

Ofe said: "You brought a human guest into Dongguimo."

"He didn't give you any trouble," Halton said.

"Is that so?" Ofi looked at Naya.

Naya glanced at Sidun in panic. Seeing him staring straight ahead, ignoring her intentions, the pent-up breath in her chest burst out completely, and she suddenly became brave and looked at Ofe firmly: "He stole Take my grapes."

Seeing Siston frown, Offie's eyes are full of smiles.She said, "Any explanation, Stern."

The betrayal of the only subordinate made Sidun calm down. The turbulent waves when he stepped into the palace are now only a few tiny waves, which churned a few times in the sea of ​​​​heart, slowly melted into the sea, and calmed down.

He said, "No."

"You should know your situation," Offie stood up and walked in front of him step by step, "you have lost the right to be reckless, impulsive and willful."

Ston looked down at her, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, seemingly unmoved.

She leaned forward slightly, leaned close to his ear, and said in a low voice: "The person you should hate is Ruona. She abandoned you and abandoned you in the yellow sand all over the sky. A group of losers are imprisoned together. The humiliation, pain, punishment, contempt, and exclusion you suffer today all come from her gift."

The corners of Siston's mouth were stiff, and his tense body clearly conveyed the breath of anger and grief.

Ofe touched his face: "No matter how unwilling you are, you must admit that the noble Ruona is not here, you can only be with us." After a pause, she looked at Neia, "Of course, I am very happy." Glad that you have a new start. A... honorable human youth. As the current companion, I am happy to fulfill and bless you. However, this is not without cost. Love is important to you, and freedom is to us Yes. You must keep going, and keep, and keep, until the gods return."

Neia wanted to stand up excitedly, and Ofi gave him a calm look: "I know you are the little prince of Longzan, and if Sidon wants to be with you, he must not offend your parents. Then, How about starting with Senrisgar?" She walked to Neia's side, put her shoulders lightly, picked up a grape from the fruit plate, and handed it to Neia's mouth, "Your little prince can stay by my side , I promise, there must be grapes to eat every day."

She didn't give Shiton a chance to refuse, she directly took Neia's hand and led him away.

Sidun stepped up to chase, but as soon as he moved his foot, the ankle chain seemed to come alive, and he strangled it vigorously. With such a delay, the two people who seemed to be walking slowly disappeared without a trace.The gods scattered around talking seemed to approach inadvertently, forming an encircling circle.

He is in the center.

Invisible competition, no one moved.

In the end, it was Naya who broke the deadlock: "It's almost twelve o'clock in the middle of the night."

The gods looked at each other, then slowly backed away two steps to make way, Siton turned and left.Naya immediately chased after her, and as soon as she left the palace, Sidon slapped her back.Naya was beaten back into the hall heavily.

……

Someone among the gods smiled and said, "Why are you back again? Did you leave something behind?"

Naya gritted her teeth resentfully, stood up quickly, turned her head and ran away.

The palace door closed slowly.

The gods, who were still laughing just now, put away their smiles and looked at the gate of the palace gloomyly, as if they were looking at their sworn enemies.

Neia followed Ofe through countless corridors, pushed through countless palace doors, and finally came to a small square courtyard.On the edge of the courtyard is a row of two-storey buildings.The building is made of huge stones, and the dusty stone pillars are like the annual rings of ancient trees, revealing a sense of time.

Ofe said: "This is my favorite place in the whole palace."

Neia: "..." He was speechless with one sentence.

Offie looked at him and smiled: "You must think that I said that to appease you. But this is my truth." She pulled his wrist, came to the middle of the courtyard, and looked up at the sky, " This is the only place in this palace where you can see the alternation of day and night."

Neia then looked up.

It was as dark as ink.

Ofe said: "You have been in Dongguimo for a while, you should know that there is no night in Dongguimo. However, in this palace, there is no day."

Neia looked at him in surprise.

Offee didn't explain, but instead pulled him into the building.

After entering the door, Neia was sure that Offi's favorite was not a polite word. The tables, chairs, paintings and bottles in the room were all very ingenious, obviously carefully selected by the owner.She said: "No one else was ever invited, you were the first."

Ripples appeared in Ning Ya's heart. Being looked at differently by a person, even if she didn't like that person, she couldn't help being moved.

Offie sat him down and poured fruit tea for him.

After walking such a long distance, he just ate a little fruit and has almost digested it by now. Neia didn't refuse, and took a sip of it.

Offee said: "Aren't you afraid that I have bad intentions?"

Neia pursed her lips: "Even if it is, I don't have the ability to resist."

Offee laughed off his almost questioning complaints, and began to ask about the recent situation of Dreamland.She asked all kinds of questions, completely stuck in the last century.In her concept, the most powerful country in Dream Continent is still the ancient empire known as the "Empire of Dreams". The believers of the Goddess of Light are called "Followers of Light". The most important is the magician, and the knight is the follower and protector of the magician, and does not have the ability to fight alone.

Hearing Neia's introduction, Ofi was extremely surprised: "Has the Aogu Empire split? It's hard to imagine. I can still vividly remember the scene when the founding emperor ascended the throne with ten sabers, but I didn't expect the empire to be a thing of the past. It's no wonder, he has never had a good impression of Ruona, the goddess of light."

Having been entangled in nightmares for so long, and entangled with the gods until now, it was the first time that Neia heard someone take the initiative to explain the past in detail, scratching her head in curiosity, and seeing Offee paused in the middle of speaking, she couldn't help asking: "Why? "

Ofe said: "Ruona has a great desire to control. You know she is the so-called God King, right?"

Neia shook her head.His first teacher was Diane Fernberg. He always thought that he would become a knight in the future, and he didn't pay any attention to the legend of God.If he had known that there were such a group of dangerous neighbors living in the north of Langzan, he would have spent time investigating the whole story.

Ofe smiled and said: "It seems that Ruona's status is not as high as she thought. After the Creator God created the world, he bestowed four gods with unique and powerful divine powers, namely the Emperor of the Sea, the God of Death, the God of Darkness and the God of Darkness. The God of Light. The God of Light and the God of Darkness took the opportunity to call themselves God Kings and asked other gods to worship them. The God of Light and the God of Darkness are siblings. If they join forces, even the Emperor of the Sea must avoid three points. So Knowles simply Return to the sea, and never return to land again. This shows how domineering and authoritarian Ruo Na is."

Ning Ya asked, "Didn't the Goddess of Light stop her?"

Ofe said: "She wants to, but she can't. Because the ocean and the world of the undead are the only places that are not ruled by light and darkness." She groaned suddenly, bent over and covered her chest.

Neia subconsciously stretched out her hand to help her: "What's wrong with you?"

Offee maintained this movement, took a few deep breaths without moving, then sat up straight, and said calmly: "It's nothing. It's getting late, you should rest early, and I will come to see you when I am free." After Neia answered, she stood up, opened the door and went out.

Neia followed a few steps, but was blocked by a black shadow.

Hei Ying said displeased: "You are not allowed to look at her, let alone talk to her!"

When Neia saw it, she stood on her tiptoes nervously and looked out. After confirming that Ofe had indeed left, she closed the door and said, "Why are you here?"

Hei Ying snorted coldly: "Catch the traitor. If I don't come, will your heart be snatched away by her foolishly?"

Neia: "..."

The black shadow walked to the place where Offie had been sitting, raised his hand, and swept away the teacup she had used: "Idiot. You were stupid in your last life."

Neia bent down to pick up the teacup.

Before the hand touched it, the cup turned into powder.

The black shadow said again: "Have you forgotten that you are human? What if you get cut? What if you bleed?"

Neia was angry and funny: "What are you going to do?"

"Don't do anything." Soi Ying sat down where Offie had been, rubbed his butt back and forth on the chair a few times, and said in a kind tone, "I'll help you disinfect."

Neia said, "Are you very hostile to her?"

Hei Ying said: "Of course. Because she is the most insidious woman in the world, including gods and humans."

Neia recalled his dislike for the light, and said out of nowhere, "Worse than the goddess of light?"

Heiying pondered and said, "You've stumped me. They can be tied for first place."

Neia asked, "Who is she?"

Hei Ying said disdainfully: "Calling herself the Goddess of Wisdom is actually the Goddess of Insidiousness."

Neia was able to come up with a formula now.Sombra hates the Goddess of Light, and Orpheus hates the Goddess of Light. Sombra and Ston are at odds, and Orpheus and Ston are also at odds.So it turns out, none of them are on the same team.

Neia asked, "Why do you hate her so much?"

Hei Ying said: "Because we are not in the same group."

Neia: "..." Is he a roundworm in my stomach?He actually knew exactly what he was thinking.It should be scary and kind of funny.
