The mage arrives

After the game activities, Gordon left the Fountain Square and went to the restaurant to meet his girlfriend.But no matter how much he asked, Sigrid refused to say what he bought.

After lunch, the afternoon's dating activities are still rich.

First, I went to the zoo to play, let those furry, round and chirping creatures cleanse my soul, and then watched a love blockbuster called "Earth and Moon Sad Love".Although Gordon was not interested in the theme of "a soul freed from the shackles of gravity in pursuit of freedom and true love", Sigrid was extremely involved in watching it. When she came out of the movie theater, her eyes were red and she was already deeply involved in the play.

After enjoying another romantic candlelight dinner in the evening, the day's date finally came to an end.

Back in the community, after getting off the car in the parking lot, Gordon said to Sigrid: "You go home first, I'll go to the supermarket to buy something."

"What are you buying? Is it insurance... insurance..." The girl's cheeks turned red suddenly, "Big pervert, I'm ignoring you!"

Gordon didn't know why Sigrid suddenly became angry again, he just made up an excuse and wanted to check on Pensa.

"Okay, be obedient, go back and wait for me obediently." Gordon leaned down, and lightly pecked his girlfriend's soft lips.This trick is very effective.Sigrid gave an "um" and left obediently.

Although a girlfriend with an arrogant personality often loses her temper a little, as long as she shows a little love, she will quickly transform from the "arrogant" mode to the "coquettish" mode.The wonderful taste in it is not enough for outsiders.

Gordon's first love on earth was a tsundere girl.It's a pity that he was young and energetic at that time, he didn't understand and didn't bother to understand girls' minds.So in the end there is nothing left to regret.But now that he has already left that world, there is no way to make up for it.

Although in terms of setting, this is the community where Gordon has lived for many years.But he is still very strange.Relying on street signs and electronic maps, it took him half an hour to find the dormitory of the property management company.

"Room 501 on the fifth floor..."

After finding Pensa's place, Gordon entered the elevator.

This kind of life without spells and having to rely on ordinary people's methods to achieve goals is still a little unaccustomed to him.

Came to the door, Gordon raised his hand.Take a deep breath.There was a sense of tension in his heart that he was finally about to solve the puzzle, and he even felt a trace of uneasiness that he hadn't seen for a long time.

But before knocking, the door was opened by the people inside.Gordon has dealt with many times.The very familiar old man stood in the entrance and smiled kindly at him: "You are finally here, Mr. Gordon Freeman."

Pensa did not call him Gordon, but used the name "Gordon Freeman".

"Elder Pensa. Are you the creator of this illusion?" Gordon asked straight to the point.All day today.He's had enough of all the cloudy speculation and doesn't want to waste any more time.

"It seems that you are smarter than I imagined, and you have determined that this world is an illusion so quickly." Pensa did not deny it.He waved at Gordon, "Come in and sit down, let's chat slowly...By the way, I'm just the opener of this illusion, not the creator. I don't have that ability yet."

Gordon followed Pensa into the room.

The decoration inside is not the modern style of the earth, but the ancient Neisser style that Gordon often sees in reliefs and murals.

"Although this world is wonderful. But a stubborn old man like me still prefers nostalgia." Pensa explained.

Gordon was noncommittal.His concern for Pensa's origins.Much more than an interest in upholstery.

"Elder Pensa, can you tell me now, who are you? After I met you, why didn't I see that you were unusual?"…

"Young man, I know you have a very interesting gadget." Pensa smiled and pointed to Gordon's eyes. What he said was probably the eyes of truth and warning.

"That gadget of yours, although very convenient, is at best made by a great arcanist in the legendary realm. Of course, it is impossible to see through my real body."

Gordon's heart trembled.

The eye of truth and warning can see through all illusions, illusions, camouflage, and concealment. It is a powerful magic item at the legendary level.If it can't even discover Pensa's real body, doesn't that mean...

"Are you a god?"

"Part of the answer is correct." Pensa made himself a cup of hot tea leisurely, and then took a sip with relish.It seemed that the virtual tea was really mellow enough to soothe his real taste buds.

"To be precise," he put down his teacup, "I am a quasi-god. A poor wretch who has a godhood but no title or position."

Hey, even if it's just a quasi-god, it's much better than 99.99999% of the creatures in the entire Telos world. You call yourself a poor guy, so what is a tenth-level little mage like me?

Pensa didn't know that Gordon was complaining about him in secret, and continued, "My birth began when the Netherdulan Magic Empire had not yet risen and the Sun Elf Empire ruled..."

In the era when the elven empire was strong and glorious in the third era, the Haiwen Peninsula was not as it is now, with a mixture of hundreds of races and separate tribes.At that time, the peninsula was ruled by the beast elves.Because they deviate from the center of mainland civilization, the beast elves are relatively backward, but they are definitely not barbarians who drink blood.Instead, they created their own unique culture.

It's just that at that time, the sun elves, who thought they were of noble blood, implemented strict class rule similar to the caste system.Sun elves (gold elves) are first-class citizens of the empire, moon elves (silver elves) are second-class citizens of the empire, and other elf subspecies, such as dark elves, forest elves, wild elves, etc. that have not yet fallen, all belong to third-class citizens .

Humans, dwarves, halflings, orcs, etc., all belong to the untouchable class without citizenship.The beast elves are not only not recognized by the sun elf ruler as a member of the elf family, but they think that their existence has tarnished the nobility of the elves' bloodlines.Therefore, the beast elves are not only isolated from the empire, they can only live in the Haiwen Peninsula, and they cannot even believe in elf gods.

Fortunately, although the sun elves are arrogant and full of discrimination, at least they still have an elegant and noble nature, so they did not take further oppression against the beast elves.If it is replaced by humans, I am afraid that a genocide massacre will be staged sooner or later.

And the beast elves are also very strong.Since you blond pointy ears look down on us, let's play by ourselves.

During the production and life of the beast elves and the development of civilization, their worship of the primitive natural totem gradually gathered enough power of faith.Then, in these powers of faith, a god that belongs to the beast elf itself—Pensa was born.

In the world of Telos, gods come from various sources.Bahamut, the platinum dragon, and Tiamat, the five-color dragon god, were gods born at the beginning of the world.Today they are called dragon gods, not because the dragons believe in them, but because they are the creators of the dragon race.

The goddess of wealth and business, Wojin, and the god of law, Erasis, are new gods born from the fusion of the power of rules and the power of faith with the development of civilization and the increase of worshippers. .

Pensa falls into this category.

If, over time, the number of beast elves continues to increase, civilization continues to develop, and more and more power of faith is gathered, Pensa will definitely be able to be promoted to a true god, possess the priesthood and position, and create his own kingdom of God.

Unfortunately, when Pensa was born, it was already the end of the Sun Elf Empire.After that, there was a tragic war between the rapidly rising Netherdulan Magic Empire and the late Sun Elf Empire for supremacy on the mainland.Although the beast elves are located in a remote place, they are not immune either.

Later, the Sun Elf Empire was destroyed, the royal family fled overseas, and the Nesser dominated the mainland, and peace finally came again.However, the bad luck of the beast elves did not end.

A Nesser lord and grand arcanist who owns thirteen floating cities has taken a fancy to the entire beast elf group.He felt that this race was an excellent experimental material and slave, so he led an army to invade the Haiwen Peninsula.

At that time, the just-born Nesser Empire was still in the period when several great arcanist lords divided powers and ruled, and there was no emperor yet, so even if someone sympathized with the beast elves, no one would risk making an enemy of a great arcanist lord risk, help.

"Just when the beast elves were facing the crisis of genocide, I found Asa Augustus. I gave my real name and asked him to help me save the beast elves."

"His Majesty the Elemental Emperor must have agreed." Gordon said.

"That's right." Pensa nodded, "Although Asa Augustus was not the most powerful arcanist lord at that time, he was the smartest one. He not only defeated the great arcane master who tried to enslave the beast elves Division, and took advantage of the situation to launch a civil war, quickly unified the entire Neisser with an unrivaled momentum, and was crowned as the first emperor of the empire."

According to common sense, what follows should be a happy ending.The beast elves are saved, they can continue to live a happy life and reproduce, and continue to convey the power of faith, so that Pensa will eventually become a real god.

But unfortunately, things backfired.

Since the defeat of the sun elves, other elves who remained on the mainland held a race meeting in Silvermoon City in the 57th year of the Nether calendar, and re-accepted the beast elves as members of the elves.

So, since one can re-believe in such powerful elves as Corellon and Angress, who will care about this little quasi-god like Pensa?

Pensa's followers dropped sharply, but after two or three generations, he became a bare-bones commander.

"It's a sad story." Gordon commented, "You exchanged your freedom for the survival of the beast elves, but you were betrayed by the clansmen. You must be very unwilling."

Pensa laughed and said, "In the beginning, I was really unwilling, and even took action myself, killing many high priests of the beast elves who had betrayed me and converted their beliefs. But with the master's persuasion, I finally let go."

"I'm curious, how does His Majesty Augustus make you give up this betrayal?"

"He told me, you are my loyal servant. When one day I become the king of the gods, you will also have the power under one god and above all gods."
