Chapter 20 Legends and Gods
Drew helped Abel back to his residence. Seeing Abel open the door, Drew asked with concern: "Abel, are you getting better? Do I need me to help you up?"
"No need Drew, thank you for your concern. I'm much better. You can do your business first." Abel smiled politely at Drew, then walked into the room and closed the door.
Looking at the closed door, Drew and the two soldiers of the Steel Leaf Tribe waited for a while, until they saw Abel appearing in front of the window on the second floor and waved at them, then turned around and left. Abel, who was standing on the second floor, could clearly see what Drew had ordered to the two soldiers beside him when he turned around and left. The two men did not leave directly as they did. Instead, they turned around and returned to their own house, just hiding in the dark and monitoring the place.
"As expected, Geralt was not relieved." Standing by the window, looking at the two so-called secret whistles hiding in the dark, monitoring his residence, Abel raised a smile on his lips, turned around and left the window, sat down on the chair in the room, hugged his hands in front of his chest, muttering to himself, while thinking about the situation in front of him.
In fact, when Cialia targeted and provoked him for the second time, Abel had already seen that this was a temptation. Although Cialia and Geralt were both hidden well, Abel still saw the problem. In that situation at that time, with the degree of Cialia's performance and the speed of doing it themselves, even Drew had enough strength to stop him or Cialya. There was no reason Geralt, who was stronger than Drew, could not do it.
As for Cialia, Abel can only say that women are born to act. If he hadn't leaned on Cialia when he finally fell to the ground, he wouldn't have discovered the hidden strength she had. Although it was only a short moment, when Abel touched Cialia's body, she still instinctively tightened her body in an instant, and then forced herself to relax and fell to the ground with herself.
Abel dared to swear with the sexual blessings of his lower body that the power of Cialia and the power contained in her body were far greater than Drew who had fought with him.
That is the real body that can be tempered by only after a long period of hard work and persistent exercise. Such a tight body, even if Eber just touched it, he could feel the power that she could burst out. He could have such a powerful body and restrain his body's instinctive reaction in an instant. This is enough to prove that she is a powerful warrior who can fully control his body, not a waste with power.
How could a warrior who is stronger than Drew easily take away the weapon that is regarded as life by his mage's hand, and be scared to the point of being scared into a ball by his own fear technique? If Cialia is really just a spoiled lady, then her will is too fragile. How could she have such strong strength in this way? How could she become the leader of a human tribe?
According to Eber's judgment, if Chilia's strength is expressed by the rules of the DND world, she has at least an elite template, and her professional level is at least above level 15, and she may even have advanced professions. If such a powerful warrior really wants to attack him, he will almost be able to fight against her attacks based on his three-ring casting ability that has no practical experience alone, rather than just pushing the opponent down with just a few superficial spells like now.
There is only one reasonable reason that can explain all this, that is, Cialia and Geralt are acting, and they are testing themselves!
In fact, from the beginning, Ebert saw that Geralt did not trust him, but while he was guarding himself, he seemed to have something else to ask for, so he left himself in the Steel Leaf Tribe with a warm attitude.
Although Eber saw that Geralt had other plans for him and had been monitoring him, he was not surprised by it. On the contrary, if Geralt chose to believe himself unconditionally and leave himself a half-elf in the Steel Leaf Tribe without doing these things, this would make Eber think he had something wrong.
The patriarch of a tribe is obviously impossible to believe strangers as unscheming and hospitalized as written in the novel. Such a person will only exist in a peaceful environment or novel story without external threats. Under the threat of the empire, a patriarch who can command the human tribe is obviously impossible to be so simple, especially when Geralt's strength is more than Cialia.
Reality is not a game or a novel. There will be no warriors who only grow muscles but not brains, and do things in a stubborn manner. In fact, such warriors cannot go long-term on the road of warriors unless they are really talented and can ignore all bottlenecks and obstacles. Moreover, even if they can grow up, they will easily be targeted by the enemy and easily be cheated to death.
Although warriors do not need wisdom like mages, they also need brains. People without brains can find it difficult to grow up and survive no matter any profession.
Geralt may not have taken that step because of the lack of human tribe's background, but Eber could still feel that he was already in the threshold of legend. As long as he was given an opportunity, he could take that step, advance to legend and create extraordinary things. However, this step is likely to be a natural barrier. Geralt may not be able to take this step without external help throughout his life and be trapped at the level of a mortal.
Perhaps this is Geralt's purpose? He hopes to use the power of magic to help him take the step of transforming from a mortal into a extraordinary person, and then achieve a legend. Abel thought for a moment and quickly denied this speculation.
Geralt might need some external force to help him break through, but this does not make him win over himself like this, and use this method to test it. Abel feels that he should still hide deeper things. It is just that before he gains his trust, Geralt does not intend to show these things in front of him, and Abel does not want to find out the truth hidden by Geralt. Curiosity kills the cat. If you want to live longer, you must first restrain your curiosity.
However, according to Eber's guess, what Geralt hides should be related to God.
Originally, Abel was wondering what the human tribe used to resist the extremely powerful empire they said. He disdained the pride of the elves mentioned by Drew and completely eliminated humans, so he just drove humans out of the territory of the empire. Abel could only say that he believed half of it.
Now, hundreds of years later, perhaps the Empire would disdain to mobilize a large army to seize the territory of the human tribe because of the elves' arrogance. However, hundreds of years ago, when the coalition forces of humans and other races were just defeated, the Empire had enough reason to wipe out humans and other races. However, these elves did not do so, but allowed the humans and other races who had been completely defeated at that time to escape and then reproduce for hundreds of years.
Although the elves were arrogantly disdainful of the possibility of extermination of humans and other races, Abel still felt that humans and other races should have the power to fight against the empire, at least they had such power back then. Otherwise, there would be no way to explain how humans and other races dared to attack an empire blessed by the true gods.
You should know that there is a huge difference between having the protection of the true god and believing in a god. This is just like the original earth, which is also nuclear energy technology. Some countries can only build nuclear power plants, but the five major gangsters can build nuclear bombs. Although it sounds similar, they are all nuclear energy, the meanings they represent are completely different.
If humans and other races had not been able to fight against the power of the true gods, they would not have been able to keep their races alive after launching a war against the empire and being defeated. The only one who could fight against God was another god.
As for the fact that the gods disdain to interfere in the dispute between mortals, after seeing the divine power of the two slaves, Abel also ruled out this possibility. He found a divine art in the two slaves that brainwashed them into believers, and the caster of this divine art can be sure to be a true god. This means that at least one of the gods believed in by the empire would descend miracles or help his believers, although he is now dead.
So what Geralt hides is the fact that the human tribe has a god?
No, it should not be like, Abel felt that there was nothing to hide in this kind of thing, and what made him feel strange was that the Steel Leaf Tribe did not seem to have any manifestations of worshiping or believing in a god. During the period of his life in the Steel Leaf Tribe, he had never seen any god statues or heard anyone praise a god. If there was really a god in the human tribe, this state would be very strange. No god would protect a person who did not believe in himself. What was hidden in the Steel Leaf Tribe?
But if the human tribe did not have God, what did they rely on to fight against the gods of the empire? Or did the gods of the humans fall? These questions lingered in Abel's mind and made him fall into deep thought. Today, after discovering that there is a true god in this world, he inevitably became uneasy about his own safety. Perhaps it was time to activate the core of his floating city?
If Geralt comes to show off and chooses to trust himself, then he will unfold the floating city in the Steel Leaf Tribe. If the other party does not trust him, then he will be prepared to leave. It may be inconvenient to stay away from civilization, but compared with his own safety, anything can be tolerated.
