Chapter 18 Brother and Sister
At first glance, Olivia couldn't hide the shock on her face: "How is it possible, how could God be killed?"
"The god whose subject exists in the kingdom of God is indeed almost impossible to be killed, but the witch of the Water is a god who exists in the world. It must be subject to the laws of this world and must obey the laws that cannot be invincible. Since it is not invincible, death can also be achieved. In other words, the witch of the Water is equivalent to a person with the power of God. Since it is a human, it can be killed."
Shunazel must have no fear of God when he spoke. For people like him, it is better to ask God than to ask others, and it is better to ask others than to seek others. In essence, he believes that people conquer heaven and destiny must be controlled by one's own hands.
The witch of the Water is different from the illusory stream of the light gods. Her deeds can be found in history and have a definite record. The Primrose was a great water magician in the Middle Ages, and became a present god by condensing the divine nature.
For the great magicians, becoming a god is a realizable but quite troublesome thing. They have seen through the origin of the world and naturally will not be full of unimaginable awe of God like ordinary people. Even if they really awe, it only comes from the other party's strong strength and has nothing to do with any myth.
There are also advantages and disadvantages to becoming a god. Many great magicians are unwilling to become a god because after becoming a god, they can no longer consider it for themselves. For example, if the gods need to obtain the power of faith, they must spread doctrines, descend miracles, increase believers, and give divine art to those recognized pastors...
Once you are committed to this endless cause, it means that you can no longer follow your ideals and act as you did before. For example, with a personality like Tangning, you will never give up on your path to pursue the truth. Then becoming a god is just a burden to him and will never touch him.
For Olivia, what she cares about is certainly not the difference between God and God, but a more practical thing: "Why do the royal people kill the witch of the water?"
"I don't know, even the truth is that the witch of the Water is dead, let alone the identity of the person behind the scenes. Everything is just doubt." Shunazel said.
Olivia didn't believe it. In her understanding, if she hadn't been more than 80% sure, her brother would not have made up his claim. Moreover, he has put it into action and let the princess go. Pay attention to prove that there is a lot of evidence, but he just doesn't want to involve her.
With the two confirmations, she also believed that there might be an accident, and others might not know, but she knew very well why the princess left the fiefdom.
Because the water god festival is held every two years, the royal family will go to the water god temple in the south with an ice emblem, calling on the water witches to conduct sacrificial ceremonies.
The Witch of Water does not usually come forward, and acts very low-key. There are very few people who have even seen her. Even if they appear in front of the public, they are in an illusory form rather than a real appearance.
Therefore, even if there is an accident, it is afraid that ordinary people will find it difficult to detect it. Even if the gods die, the condensed power of faith will continue the priest's magic in a short period of time. Until all the accumulated power of faith is consumed, the believers will truly confirm that an accident has occurred.
If you are lucky, new gods will be nurtured in the power of faith, thereby replacing their original position. This depends on whether the original gods have split and stored their divine nature. Ordinary gods will do this in order to leave a way out for themselves.
But if Luo Xiu goes to the Water City and holds the Water God Festival, he will definitely call the Water Witch. Once there is no response, it will prove that the Water Witch has had an accident, because the previous Water God Festival can be called out every time.
Olivia connects the clues at the moment, and it is not difficult to get a logical guess - the royal family sent someone to assassinate the Water Witch, and then because they do not want anyone to discover the incident, they want to hide it in the short term. Therefore, they must prevent Princess Luo Xiu from going to the Water Capital, or seize the Ice Emblem, which can also prevent the Water God Sacrifice.
The last little thing left is why the royal family did this?
She thought hard but couldn't think of a reason. The witch of the Water is not like the God of Light. She never interferes in politics and has no sign of building religion into an independent state. Although she also has an imperial guard, it was under the permission of the law and there were not many.
In the doctrine of the Witch of Water, there is never a need to eliminate heresy and eliminate evil. It has no aggression and is a pure blessing religion. No matter from any perspective, it is unlikely to conflict with the state machine. Moreover, there are many believers, covering half of the commercial federation. In terms of quantity, one of the five residents is her believers. It is completely harmful and useless to oppose the Witch of Water.
"I don't want to think about it anymore. I have to report this to Your Highness. Maybe she can figure out the reason." Olivia made a quick judgment. If she couldn't figure it out, she wouldn't think about it anymore. Maybe there was another secret among the royal family.
She knew that the sooner the notice was, the better it would be, so she stood up and said goodbye, but was stopped by Shunazel: "Wait a minute, we will send someone to inform His Highness the Princess, but you have to stay."
"Why?"
"Because the water is too deep, you will be involved if you are not careful. You can't get out of here." Shunazel stretched out his finger and pointed upwards. "The battle between royal families, coupled with the conflict between regime and the divine power, is enough to make the bettor lose all his money and his family die."
Olivia frowned and showed a little disappointed expression: "Brother, are you scared? You didn't care about such things before."
Shunazel was not angry and explained, "It's not that I'm afraid, but that I'm timid. In the past, I was too young and only rushed forward, but I won't look back at what I'm carrying. But now I understand that because I feel the weight of my shoulders, it's very heavy, so I can no longer rush forward with my brute force, otherwise I will fall off the things on my shoulders."
Olivia was silent. She understood what the other party was saying, understood the other party's concerns, and also understood the other party's intention to leave her behind.
Seeing her hesitation, Shunazel struck the railway while it was hot: "I don't stop you from fulfilling your duties as an assistant, but before that, you must understand that you are first of all a member of the family. Before the assistant, you cannot drag down the entire family because of your own unauthorized actions."
"As my brother said, Your Highness is at a very dangerous point at this moment. How can I ignore her for my own safety? This will place my dignity and family reputation?"
"The reputation of a family is not important. What is important is that the family can survive. Only by living first can you continue to consider fame, wealth, and meaning. As for your concerns, I will relieve your worries. Today, you are not that you don't want to go back, but that you are forced to stay and cannot go back. I force you to stay, so you are not wrong."
"You want me to deceive others?"
Olivia's eyes showed anger and no longer called her brother, but called her "you", showing a change in her inner attitude.
However, Shunazel faced her glare calmly and said in an unquestionable tone: "It's not a deception, but a fact. No matter what happens today, you can't leave here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two figures appeared in the camp, one man and one woman. The man was Shunazel's magic consultant, a magician with a double-type wind and fire, wearing a high-footed hat and a zombie-like face. The woman was his assistant. Her sharp eyes were like a beast. A pair of wolf ears on her head proved her identity as an orc, and her profession was a golden-level barbarian fighter.
"You have long been planning to do this. Whether I agree or not, I will force me to stay. How can you do this?" Olivia became even more angry.
Shunazel said with confidence: "I have no choice in order to save my family."
The male magician said, "Sorry, Miss, this is the young master's order. Please forgive me for everything for the family."
Seeing that the two strong men had signs of strong actions suppressing themselves, Olivia calmed down instead. After taking a deep breath, she said, "Brother, do you still remember what you said to me at the coming-of-age ceremony? We must stick to our beliefs and stick to the right path. This is your glory and everything you strive for. I have always regarded this sentence as my motto and remind myself at all times. I agree with your statement and understand your concerns, so I decided-"
She twisted off the clan emblem on the hilt of the sword and threw it into the other party's arms without hesitation: "From now on, I am leaving the family and have no connection with you anymore! I only represent myself. Now I am just your highness's assistant. Advance and retreat with her is my only belief!"
Shunazel took the clan emblem in panic and shook his hands twice in a row, as if he had encountered something very hot. Since the conversation started, other emotions appeared on his serious poker face.
This emotion was immediately restrained, but seeing Olivia's decisive will, he knew that the extra words could no longer work. While feeling a headache, he was proud that his sister could have such a firm belief, so he confessed very simply.
"I said, this is not a deception, but a fact. Today you can't go anywhere. Even if you hate me at the time, I have no choice to protect you. Lisa, do it!"
The female werewolf moved, quickly swung her palm, pressing Olivia's hand trying to draw the sword, forcing her sword back to the scabbard as soon as she was halfway through. Her speed was so fast that the opponent could not even draw the sword.
At the same time, the dual-type magician also instantly emitted magic and popped up a wind-type bondage technique.
Olivia gritted her teeth in humiliation, but she wanted to avoid it, but was firmly clamped by Lisa. She was about to be hit by the restraint technique. A white hand rubbed her from the armpit of her left arm, and she actually pinched the wind-type restraint technique. She put her five fingers together and directly squeezed it.
The evil sword horn roared out and slashed towards the female werewolf who was holding Olivia.
Lisa hurriedly blocked her with her fist claws, but as a barbarian fighter, she actually lost in strength and was forcibly repelled.
