Sword and Magic and Taxi

Sorry, I couldn't convince Ilúvatar with my words or fists, so I can't take you away. Zhao Mai took out his mobile phone and showed it to Xiaohua: When we came, the fee was zero, but the return trip was three Sixteen, five hundred and twenty-eight thousand, four hundred and thirty-one gold coins, round and zero... Hey, why is the number getting smaller? It wasn't like this just now!

One person, one flower and one dog gathered together to pay attention to the screen of the mobile phone. After waiting for a while, the number indeed decreased by 1. Is this equivalent to some kind of countdown? Xiaohua and Zhao Mai discussed it and concluded that the cost of travel is definitely based on road consumption. They believe that traveling in this world is becoming easier and easier, or to put it another way, the value of the world is getting lower and lower.

Perhaps there is a fee to go to Hogwarts originally, but because there are eight transcendents on the earth, there is no way to make any waves wherever you go, so the value is the lowest, 0. Zhao Mai and Xiaohua were looking for each other in the car After looking around, the Collection of Lost Stories could no longer be found. It had either disappeared or was taken away by Ilúvatar. In other words, the cost displayed on the mobile phone may be the one-way cost without the book. When coming in from outside, you have to prepay the round trip, which is multiplied by two.

This still does not take into account the distance from the starting point.

From a certain perspective, the value of this world should be more than 80 million gold coins. This account is easy to calculate, and Zhao Mai also added: Eighty million per person. Don't forget that all of you crew members are It’s free and not included in it. Although this place is worth tens of thousands of gold, it’s just that Ilúvatar will not let you go to Arda, but stay next to the void—the separation is what makes me uncomfortable.”

It's often impossible to reason when meeting gods, but at least everyone is reunited. Xiaohua glanced at Ilúvatar secretly, and then said to Zhao Mai: There are many, many druids who will come to the understanding tree and talk about some rigid things. The story of a priest and a dull paladin. Druids sincerely love the freedom and harmony of nature, and their understanding of divine power accounts for more than half of all druids’ understanding of gods. Ilúvatar is considered good. , at least he is quiet and willing to take care of you. I think this is a rare opportunity.

What to do with this rare opportunity? Do you want to become a god? Zhao Mai shook his head: I already have some divine power, and now I want to strip it away. I still like the natural force to be more natural... …That’s bullshit, using the Force makes me more human!”

That's true, but don't forget, there are gods in Golarion's world, as well as natural forces. What is the relationship between divine power and natural forces? Xiaohua said, Although there are also natural gods, But all druids know that nature comes first and God comes behind. But why exactly this is so is a mystery. I think what Ilúvatar means is that first of all, he wants you to learn to create your own world to accommodate us, but there are other I can't tell what the purpose is. You said you became Sauron? Is that Sauron?

I will never become the Dark Demon King. Even if I change, I will never be the one who fails... Zhao Mai comforted Xiaohua and the others and said: Ilúvatar does not allow you to go to the world of Alda, but allows you It is much better to stay here with Che and allow me to come and see you than if you are still in the void. Although I can stay with you, I will not learn anything or develop in that way, and it will not be helpful to the final solution of the problem. .So, I still have to go back to Arda and back to those gods.

Okay, we all know, come on! Xiaohua said: Since Arda is a world, it will be able to stabilize and accept us one day, right?

Zhao Mai glanced at Ilúvatar, who nodded slightly to him. He stayed with the group for a while longer in the car and then returned to Alda.

The gods did not take his sudden disappearance and appearance seriously, because there are no secrets among the gods now. Everyone cooperates in an open state and will not doubt others. Of all the true Maia, only Saruman learned to doubt. He began to think about Beta, and used his extraordinary wisdom to connect her with Melkor. He even began to think about the relationship between Myron and Melkor, secretly wary.

Saruman was very proud of being able to have such vigilance and thinking, because this was an ability that even Manwë did not have. It was only when Zhao Mai proposed to guard against Melkor's attack, especially to protect the two giant lamps, that he was shocked to realize that Myron also had a strategic vision comparable to his, and couldn't help but start to feel jealous again. But Saruman still doesn't understand what jealousy is, and just regards it as a simple memory, imprinted on his heart.

There are no gods of war among the Fourteen Valar, nor are there beings characterized by strategy and planning. Zhao Mai searched all Maiya again and found that there was no Maiya with these two characteristics. Perhaps Saruman could be called half. Melkor was not really alone. During the great music, many Ainu were attracted to him, sang the same tune with him, and were taken away by him. Manwë, king of Arda, said: My brother is a very good man. A mighty one, many Ainur are fond of him, just as many Maiya are fond of you.”

Is he a boy or a girl?

Manwë laughed and said: Melkor has all the characteristics and abilities of Valar. The difference between male and female is nothing to him. I was born only after him, and I saw that he chose a male at that time. Because of his body, he called him brother.

Don't think too much about this problem. Thinking too much will definitely affect your appearance, and may even slowly turn you into a demon king... Zhao Mai returned to the topic, spent a lot of effort, and finally, with the help of Saruman's voice, finally Manwë was persuaded to add guards to the two lamps. They say they are guards, but they are actually Maiya working near the giant lantern. They are responsible for raising the alarm if something happens and that's it.

Without your help, I really wouldn't be able to convince Manwe. Thank you, Saruman. Zhao Mai is very satisfied with his junior brother. He is smart, clever, and capable. He has many tasks assigned by Auli, especially those who Zhao Mai left all the repetitive tasks to Saruman, and he completed them well. Zhao Mai took the time to study, observe, and obtain knowledge from various gods.

No need to thank you, can you help me clear up my doubts? Saruman asked: Is Beta the same as Melkor, and did he learn the skills he used in fighting the Valar from you?

Did you see it? Yes, Bella is Melkor. He changed his image and deceived all the Ainu, especially you and me. Zhao Mai nodded and admitted: Her punches The fist posture was inspired by me, but she figured it out on her own. I didn't teach her anything so stupid!

Saruman nodded. He confirmed his ability to reason and analyze, and the findings were consistent with the facts, which was enough to prove that this ability was quite useful. He said goodbye to Zhao Mai with a smile, and continued to do his own business with a hint of pride and pride.

Some time later, Melkor launched a surprise attack and destroyed the lamp. All life in Arda came to a standstill at that moment, which was equivalent to death. Zhao Mai wiped away the non-existent sweat. If Xiaohua and the reserve grains were in Arda, they would definitely be killed instantly. Even with the immortality medicine, they probably wouldn't be able to survive. After all, there is a difference between living forever without growing older and never dying.

When the world is not stable, it is really dangerous! Remember that there will be several world-destroying disasters in Arda. Ilúvatar was right. He hadn't even awakened his children, elves and humans, so the environment in this world was naturally unsafe. Although his methods are rather domineering, there is nothing wrong with his starting point.

Only after experiencing a world-destroying disaster personally could Zhao Mai understand the intentions of the Father of the Gods. Saruman didn't think so much. He just marveled at Zhao Mai's prediction of Melkor's actions. This ability obviously exceeded his analysis and planning.

He felt another emotion that he could not yet identify.
