Chapter 832 45. Final Chapter·In Argus's Dawn--Additional updates to the end![55]
(Added update [5/5] for brothers who have been correcting mistakes)
Spring passes and autumn comes, time flies.
Well, in fact, there is no such outrageous situation that hundreds of thousands of years pass in the blink of an eye. Today is the anniversary of the "first anniversary of the birth of the world Argus", so Planet Governor Old Hatton has been preparing for "Summer Solstice Festival" that will be launched today since two months ago.
That was the most important celebration every year when Eredar was "Second Co-Governance Era" more than 20,000 years ago. For Eredar, it was as lively as the Chinese New Year.
Because their race was Eternal Life, their perception of time is really not very sharp, so there are not too many ethnic festivals. In addition to the Arcane Mage people who will also regard Primordial Sorcerer Augure's birthday as an anniversary, the biggest entertainment event of the year is Summer Solstice Festival.
In the "ancient times" at that time, every planet Governor District would hold various celebration ceremonies on this day, and the largest celebration would be placed under the Mac'Aree Mountains, on the high ground near the Arcane Academy.
Eredar will set up tents in advance here and plan various entertainment areas, and then build a stone platform for Jedni Ritual. Wrestling players from various Governor District will gather here.
They will represent their hometowns and wrestle shirtless in Eredar civilization Origin Land to win glory for their families and friends.
As for Krokuun Grasslands in the civilized frontier, due to the strong folk customs, the strength of the J'edhin boxers here is very exaggerated.
General Jayde won the Jed'hin Tournament championship seven times in a row when he was young. In the eighth year, Velen and Kil'jaeden personally came forward and awarded Jaide the title of "Eternal Honorary Champion".
This is how to ban this outrageous country boy, so as not to make Jed'hin Tournament lose its suspense every year.
This year's summer festival is the first since my hometown was reborn. All Eredar Star Sea Clan will send people to participate no matter how far away they are, so this year's festival and competition are particularly large in scale.
Furthermore, because Argus is now in Azeroth Starfield, the Azeroth clans who love to join in the fun have also sent their best players to compete in order to maintain diplomatic relations with Eredar, the "behemoth" in the star sea.
Diakum once complained that Jedni Ritual and Orcs's Mak'gora are similar in approach and purpose. Therefore, Mag'har Orcs will not let go of such a good opportunity to make a name for himself across the star sea.
Orcs sent someone to participate, which means that Warlord Margok, who is very good at causing trouble, also sent Ogres to join in the fun.
Old Hatton welcomed this very much and specially prepared a heavyweight challenge mode for these guests who came from afar. In order to express his respect for the tradition, he specifically asked his son Jaide, the "permanent honorary champion" of Jed'hin Tournament, to come forward to play the "opening match".
Jaide is of course very willing.
He has been handling government affairs in the Xinghai territory of the Krokuun Clan this year. Although he does not hate the feeling of protecting the people, as a tough Shaman and Warrior, Jaide occasionally misses the days of going to the battlefield.
Although the current situation no longer allows him to go to the battlefield casually, it is not a bad idea to come here to reminisce about his long-gone youth.
The summer festival will start at dawn on the longest day of the year. There are still a few hours before the start of the festival. General Jayde, who is going to participate in the opening ceremony, is bragging and chatting with a group of old friends in a tent in the festival venue.
Holding a glass of fruity drink with some alcohol in his hand, he complained to the Executive Officer people beside him who represented different clans participating in the Jedni Ritual:
"I heard that dad originally planned to invite Dick over, but because the proposal was too shocking, the archbishops fought to the death to reject it. It is indeed too much to ask a god to preside over Mortal realm's matter, and dad is almost confused.
Although Dick has never cared about this, he can't rely on his old age to show off."
"That's not what I said. If Lord of Dawn really comes to participate in the celebration, even if it is just an incarnation, it will be of great significance to Eredar."
Another Executive Officer raised his cup and touched it with Jaide. He said:
"And this year, High Heaven has been extremely calm, even a little too calm.
There is a group of idiots in my clan who listened to someone's instigation. They bought a ship with phase teleportation from Ethereal, and gathered more than a hundred idiots to form an expeditionary force called "Hand of Diakum".
By the time I received the message and ran to stop them, those guys had already slipped into Twisting Nether and plunged into the expedition against the demons."
"Hiss."
Jaide and several Executive Officer around him all showed "sick" expressions. He empathized and patted the unlucky guy on the shoulder and said:
"You were reprimanded?"
"Oh, don't mention it. Angels came from heaven the next day and rebuked me severely. It was an unreasonable disaster."
The unlucky Executive Officer sighed and said:
"In the next three months, I was forced to participate in biblical debate ceremonies. Rather than losing my honor, discussing obscure theological concepts with those Priests really cost me my life. You don't know that during those three months, I was even forced to learn to sing sonnets praising Lord of Dawn in a aria tune."
"That's so miserable for you."
Another woman Executive Officer joked:
"Hey, the competition robe you are wearing has poetry on it. Or is it embroidered with gold thread and made by your wife?"
"Alas."
The unlucky guy Executive Officer touched his robe sadly and said:
"I am still single, and I embroidered these poems myself.
Yes, during those three months I was prohibited from using anything that was not earned through my own hard work, so I was forced to learn to mend clothes. To pass the time, I also learned to embroider, so I won't mention that.
Anyway, I heard a lot of things like this.
High Heaven strictly prohibits private individuals from forming Faith Expedition teams, but do those fanatical young people care about you?"
"They failed?"
Jaide asked, and Executive Officer shook his head and said:
"No, more troublesome than failure, they succeeded.
The group of stupid young people were lucky enough to bump into Demon Hunting Operation of Illidari, and participated as supporters along with several Night Warrior. They successfully destroyed a demon cult deep in Twisting Nether that killed demons in a trap to sacrifice Black Sun in an attempt to awaken God of Destruction in advance.
My nephew, who is so fanatical, was canonized with the Holy Spirit for this.
It is said that he used my family heirloom sword to pierce the head of the demonic cult leader at the last moment. When the world was about to be destroyed, the angel from High Heaven rescued him."
"This is a great story. How wonderful that you have a saint nephew."
Jaide said in confusion:
"Why are you still so unhappy?"
"They are just saints. Who here is not?"
Executive Officer put down the wine glass and said seriously:
"Due to that unexpected experience, my nephew accidentally stayed under the Faith Stairway of High Heaven during the few days when his soul left the body. Of course, he did not have the ability to pass the test of Faith Stairway, but after talking with the Holy Spirits who were seeking the mysteries of theology on the long level, he discovered a hidden message."
Having said this, Executive Officer looked around, lowered his voice and said uneasily:
"According to those holy spirits, Lord of Dawn has been missing for a year!
To be precise, on the day when our hometown was revived, after He ascended to the sky in Dawn Light in public, no Holy Spirit has seen Him again.
To be honest, this makes me a little uneasy.
I'm sure I'm not the only one with this uneasiness.
That's why I said that if Father Haddon can invite the incarnation of Vigilant to this ceremony, it will definitely dispel a lot of unnecessary speculations.
You all know that because of the discontinuation of Eternal Life, many Star Sea Clan now have some harsh sounds inside."
"They are just a bunch of selfish people!"
An old man Garrison Commander with a scar on his heart said scornfully:
"Eternal Life is a gift from the Lord. Now the Lord Eredar is undergoing a great reincarnation. I just don't think about how to honor Lord Consecration. He is actually slandering him in private because of Eternal Life.
Humph, if you ask me, you should let Judgment Court send out Judgment officers to conduct a major review around all Star Sea Clans and find out those guys who say weird things."
"It's passed, Your Excellency."
Jaide shook his head and said:
"It's just a few complaints. There is no need to go online like this. If the country and civilization that we have tried so hard to save cannot even tolerate a few weird words after its rebirth, then it is us Executive Officer who should reflect.
However, I am curious, how can your nephew be so sure that what the Holy Spirit said is true?
The Holy Spirits are not able to see Lord of Dawn every day under Faith Stairway."
"Because he has not only communicated with the Holy Spirits."
The name Executive Officer said with some embarrassment:
"My nephew has no theological talent and doesn't care to study the doctrine. He just likes to wield swords and guns. He is quite good at making friends. I don't know how he became friends with the legendary "High Heaven Concierge Uncle Huo".
He heard this information from the mysterious Mr. Hogger.
Although Mr. Hogger is not a truly recognized Holy Spirit, it will indeed stay under Faith Stairway every day. There is nothing in High Heaven that it does not know."
"Well, I've heard about that weird guy."
The female Executive Officer patted her legs and said enthusiastically:
"It is said that it is a strange god who likes to appear as a jackal Human Form."
"Uh, it's Gnoll."
Jaide was embarrassed and explained:
"Hogger is one of the leaders of Azeroth, which has its own Gnoll Kingdom in Dragon Isles, which is in Diakum When Azeroth was traveling, Hogger had some friendship with our Saint, so he was allowed to log in under Faith Stairway.
As for that High Heaven concierge.
That's what it calls itself.
But since it was said by Hogger, then this matter does have some credibility."
As Diakum's brother, Jaide didn't care about him. It was precisely because he was very confident in his brother's strength that he didn't think about it in this regard.
But now that it was mentioned by his companion, Jaide himself was a little worried.
They chatted for a few more words, and then Jaide walked out of the tent to find a place to put water.
With a bit of drunkenness, the powerful Grand Executor waved his hand to let the guard stay there. He had not returned to Mac'Aree for a long time. He was planning to climb up the rock along the past memories to sober up. As a result, as soon as he rushed up and unbuttoned his belt, he heard someone chatting on the ridge not far away.
The elemental power after Argus's rebirth did not encounter another Primordial Sorcerer Augure's seal, so the elemental ways of this world can be said to be prosperous. The elemental winds here are quite naughty and will always hide those whispers in the wind and bring them to the ears of Shamans.
It just so happens that Jaide is a powerful War Shaman.
Although he does not have the talent to go further, years of war training and especially the blessing of the elements have made him a demigod leader who protects his people.
But even so, he couldn't hear the sounds in the wind clearly. He could only tell that there were several women's voices among them, which sounded very similar to the voices of Neri and Twins. However, there were also men's voices.
They were talking and laughing with each other.
Jaide was tipsy and suddenly thought of a terrible possibility!
His sisters-in-law cuckolded their brothers!
Grand Executor snorted and gave up. He picked up a stone in his hand and rushed up the ridge to see who had the guts to dare to pry the corner of Lord of Dawn in the world of Argus.
Then, when he came out angrily, he unexpectedly saw a confused Diakum hugging Neri and Twins and whispering under the starry sky before dawn.
The postures of the four of them were, well, quite decent, but the clothes of the three distinguished ladies today were somewhat not "formal" enough.
People are doing pretty well.
A picnic basket was laid out on the cliff with quite a beautiful scenery, a picnic parasol was inserted next to it, and there were several bottles of good wine obtained from Azeroth.
Judging from the appearance of the four of them, they must have drank a lot.
"You! You you you you you!"
Jaide I am holding a stone in my hand and don't know what to say.
He came here to catch an adulterer, but unexpectedly met Lord of Dawn, who skipped work and came to have a private meeting with his lover. Oh my, this matter could be a separate article in mythology.
"What are you holding on to the stone for?"
Diakum wiped the hickey on his face and said fiercely, pretending to be angry:
"Shock me! Are you going to give me the "Godslayer Sword" disguised as a stone in your hand? Let me tell you, I have learned a lot of new tricks from a bunch of unreasonable bastards now, and the mere Godslayer Sword is of no use to me."
"I, you are not!"
Jaide's mind was a little confused. He slapped himself before he figured out the situation. He threw the stone away and asked:
"Weren't you missing for a year?"
"Yes."
Lying in Diakum's arms, Archbishop Nali, with a nostalgic look on his face, rolled his eyes and said with a hint of disgust:
"A certain Lord of Dawn hid in the office of the three of us sisters. He has been hiding like this for a year. When asked, he said "take a vacation". In fact, he left all his official duties to his subordinates. He is just like a pretty boy who is waiting to die, relying on us to support him."
"That's not accurate."
Saloras moved her long hair and corrected:
"He was out for a week. At dawn that day, there was someone suddenly on the bed with my sister. We were almost frightened to death. When we saw it was him! He ran back with injuries all over his body, as if he had encountered a "divine battle".
He said he needed to recuperate from his injuries, and then he just stayed down."
"Distance creates beauty."
Oreses also said with disgust:
"It was good at the beginning, but as time went on, it stopped working. After Judgment Court handles so many official duties every day, it's really unpleasant to have to wait on him when I go home."
"Hey, that's enough for you three!"
Diakum shouted uncontrollably:
"Is it because you said that I owed you a debt? With such a high moral standard, I even convinced myself to take a long vacation to accompany you, but in the end I received such a bad evaluation?
And tomorrow I will "ascend to heaven" after attending the ceremony at Father Haddon's request, and we will be in a dream when we meet again."
"Oh, after doing this for a long time, dad really called you back."
Jaide laughed.
He knew that Twins and Neri's complaints were actually a joke. If he really hated his brother, it would be impossible for him to wish for him when they parted.
Grand Executor was not a light bulb that was disappointing. He suddenly remembered that he still had some water left, so he laughed aloud and swayed down the mountain with a satisfied and finally down-to-earth attitude.
Lord of Dawn has never left.
He has never been missing. He has always been observing the people's sentiments at Mortal realm.
Gee, what a responsible god.
After Jaide left, the four of Dick continued to sit there, embracing each other in the light of the stars and the moon at the end of the night, enjoying the silent peace and companionship of their souls.
When dawn was about to come and the east turned white, Oreses suddenly raised his head and said:
"No matter how we asked you over the past year, you were unwilling to tell us where you had been, but you couldn't tell the truth about the horrific injuries you had when you came back.
To be able to beat a god like this, it seems that you have gone to a very dangerous place."
"And since then, you've always been talking about "those bastards."
Neri also said curiously:
"So, you did meet a group of strange people during those seven days. You see, you are about to return to heaven and become a god. So, at this last moment, why don't you answer our curiosity?"
"Uh."
Diakum sighed.
says:
"It's very complicated to say it. After all, just explaining my relationship with them would take a long time. But how should I put it?"
He lowered his head, kissed Saloras's forehead with expectant eyes, and said:
"Well, if you really want to know, let's finish this story before dawn."
"But, dawn is coming soon, is there enough time?"
"Well, when Lord of Dawn needs some time, the first ray of sunshine will always be waiting quietly under the horizon with a wink, and the gentle night will also leave its last generosity, allowing me to share this story with my lovers.
in general
It was a group of gods who planned to create a new universe, and I was one of them."

PS:
The postscript and extras will start tomorrow~
It will be about one chapter a day, and if there are more at the end of the month, they will be released together. After completing this month's full attendance, I will eat one more mouthful of money, all in order to survive and not be miserable. Don't mind, brothers! The final words will be sent out at the end of the month, and then it will be officially completed a few days before next month if nothing else happens.
I have a lot to say in my heart, so I'll just leave it in my final remarks.
Anyway, thank you brothers for seeing this, I love you.
