Chapter 126: Changes
What are above the clouds? In the ious epics, it would be real place of humans At the top of the clouds, the world of the numerous Gods would be stare down for all eternity
“Ma down at us from the clouds But there are so many people down here, can they cope? If they are able to cope, doesn’t it mean that they have eyes all over their body? That’s scary!”
On a field, a straightforward rascal said such words On the very afternoon of the same day, he was tied to a stake and sentenced to death for the crime of heresy
Those were the famous “Little Tom’s Words of Truth” In the future, it evolved to becoe towards the falsehoods created and spread by those in authority, as well as the ignition of the changes that would be made to the numerous churches of Gods
As for what exactly were above the clouds, the earliest batch of aerial knights who had been to the clouds wisely chose to avoid answering the question
As the era progressed to the current day, there were soer be concealed The truth that the Heavenly Realm laid in another dimension was clear for all to see As a result, the phrase “The Gods are alatching over you” became empty words in books
Gods are not omnipotent Altars and churches were locations where their consciousness descend toward and reside If one were to chant their true naht be possible for them to hear one’s words Questions directed towards the God could only be channeled through the prayers of the priests and archbishops Of course, it was possible for them to send an avatar or God Envoy down, but the resources that would be expended wasn’t a ht about fear and respect Divine authority and thethe secrets of the Gods ations conducted by individual countries had never once stopped
In an era where every country had an oracle of a true God had coranted the huree of freedo with the start of the Sacred War, the humans would slowly be robbed of it
The Sacred War has already beca the Order Gods to send down their co for war After all, their enemies were already at their doorstep
In this Sacred War, the development of all kinds of aerial units would leap ahead exponentially The Air Fleet of the Auland Eht have been the most advanced of the lot, but it definitely wasn’t the only one The taboo of the past had already opened its doors to thethe clouds wasn’t an easy task Even without the existence of the taboo, the world above the clouds still remained inaccessible to ordinary aerial units After all, the low teen, and low pressure made it hard for even a physically fit warrior to bear Those who tried to accohts would most probably die in their attempt
Yet, at this h running on land Erebella had shapeshi+fted to beco Ice Crystal Barrier isolated en
The low tehticeht of the ht to behold, a sight that would leave one tre
Rather than say that Cloud Whales were animals, they were more like a hybrid between Wind Eleer than their counterparts in the sea and their movements caused the wind and clouds to billow Even the Wind Ele in rein
It was said that the Blackwings’ shi+ps and cities were also built a the clouds, and they were once a fa robbed of their privilege to fly, they had been reduced to pirates I had always felt regretful for being unable to enjoy the unique way of living of the Sky Tribes
【Systeretful about it in awhile I hope that you will still have thethe notice that suddenly popped out, I turned my attention towards the clouds not too far away
There were all kinds of mysteriously-shaped clouds in the sky Their for Some of them reseiants, and soh their contact with one another, their shapes were always ed at every ic, sohout a span of hundreds of years Those firmer clouds would often serve as the lairs of the Cloud Beasts, and at this moment, they didn’t seeh I kept soaring ahead, a group of Cloud Beasts still continued to pursue us A large portion of them were the amiable Cloud Dolphins, ere here to watch the coons who hoped to prey on us, not knowing that their actions were suicidal
Even though they were called Cloud Dragons, they were actually just nored the disparity between the strengths of the prey and predator and were fervently pursuing us in hope of an additional snack
Erebella th, when she was capable of shapeshi+fting into an Ice Dragon, but the current her was still able to easily take care of these shtly to signal her to speed up so as to shake them off
“Aooooooo!”
After a deep howl, the Pegasus unfurled her wings and surged forward, pulling the distance between us and the Cloud Beasts in an instant
“Lord Roland, are you happy?”
“Yeah, I am indeed very happy You noticed it?”
Of course I was happy, otherwise I wouldn’t be co here on a whim to tour the world above the clouds If we had wanted to hasten our journey, travelling at lower altitudes would have been much more suitable
As for the reason why I was happy…
In order to prevent the true secrets froic plans within the courseware What the rest saere just the tragedies that could possibly occur in the future Other than stating the potential occurrence of the Undead Calaround World, the courseware didn’t even list the reasons behind these disasters or record the estiies I have prepared against the they were aware of noas that they wouldmy best to resolve all of these troubles As for how they would be resolved and the possibility of success, it was all still an enig comrades, my invitation lacked sincerity
If they were to nod their heads despite having not knohat they could expect, they would be handing their futures coreat trust, and the foundation for this trust needed to be built up over time
I could understand their hesitation and silence Forcing them to toil their lives away for another just with so only exists in irrational novels
If someone were to tell me that “The world is about to be destroyed, you can only be saved if you put your trust in ive me all your fortunes,” I would already be kind to not to slap that person’s face several times
“Perhaps, this is the revelation fro to work for you If destruction is what that awaits us, I aht, just when I just said that such a plot only existed in novels, this silly lass juhts were always the bunch who are the easiest to coax, and Diana was the kind as the easiest to coax even aood start, but what that follows afterwards was still a long period of silence
“Lord Roland, there is another Lich in Liu Huang Mountain City who goes by the same naou Beyar asked a seely unimportant question However, his words captured the attention of everyone in the room
I hesitated for a short moment However, since I had decided to face them honestly, I chose not to spout nonsense at this crucial period
“That’s me However, I am unable to tell you the reason behind ht froendary hero whohts chant about everyday, the final prince who left a ht-out It see around everyday, they weren’t slacking off At the very least, they had been collecting intelligence to prepare for the future
If it wasn’t for my determination to keep all of them on board, then soroup back then e had reached a safe zone
“That’s me as well, but I cannot explain the matter to you”
My confession caused several of theasp in shock After all, a co about suddenly turned out to be a legendary hero
Further with the as it was, it also made people wonder why he hid his identity and resided in Liu Huang Mountain City for such a long period of time
“Last question What is your relationshi+p with Lord Wuoals and saht as well be the same person However, now that we’ve come to this point, those who choose to back down afterwards will have to sign a contract of silence”
I ame, but my words were true We were the same person, so naturally, ere intiht as well be the saou looked at the Krose, as standing silently by the side The Archbishop of the God of Law hesitated for ato verify the authenticity of my words
“Fine, I will speak in the stead of my elder brother as well Our Safe Merchant Union will be staking everything on you We will be under your co to co payment! The motto of the Goblins dictates that ‘Close Goblins ask for payhtforwardly!’”
This tireedy and selfish Goblins would be the targets which I would have the greatest difficulty in convincing I had already prepared myself for their refusal, yet they were the second to nod their heads This was coet shocked about? Lich Roland has been our brother for ure of respect a us Since you have said that destruction is just around the corner, do we need to hesitate when there is a reliable backer right here?”
Everything could be traced back to the question of trust Even though it was clear that huddling together would be the best choice to deal with the inco tree to stand under, they would si to becoou Beyar accepted the deal, the winds swiftly turned to my favor, to the extent that I even started to suspect whether this was a trap set up by hinificant influence on the decisions of the others
“I will listen to Big Brother Yingou I also trust Lord Wumianzhe’s decision I know that he wouldn’t ascend for no reason at all Perhaps weto trust the chess player, Wumianzhe I believe that he wouldn’t sacrifice us pointlessly” The moment Kabala’s words ceased, the voice of the Dwarven Blacksmith echoed in the cabin
“Since it is the will of Lord Wu any trouble It is enough for us to trust hiht be short, but we are not blind Without your help, ould have drowned in that cell We will res were still normal However…
“Moht, looks like you have noticed the equation of Wumianzhe = Lich Roland = Little Rolo, but what do you intend to achieve by slipping in a confession in the midst of this chaos?!
“What about food?”
