Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 587: The Fluctuating River of Emotions

Persephone was very calm when she made the decision. Anyway, whether she could hold on until the arrival of the River Styx and be awakened by the four awakened father and sons...if the divine power returned to her, this would naturally be easy...it all depended on Hermes' efforts.

This is the result of making the wrong friends.

But Hermes was already accustomed to doting on Persephone, and he could only try to help her, as she became more willful due to the loss of her mother... As the goddess of agriculture, Demeter was too deeply bound to the earth.

Although it is not completely lifeless, it is impossible for them to escape from the earth directly like them.

Even if I followed them and left, I was still dragged back by those invisible chains.

Fortunately, they are not completely hopeless.

According to the normal rules of the world's fall, it is actually gods like Demeter who have made greater contributions to the world who have the opportunity to be resurrected again.

It just needs to float at the lowest level of the star realm for tens of thousands of years.

As long as Hades and the others can really become the messengers of the Styx in this world, it would naturally be much easier to find a way to allow Demeter to reincarnate in this world.

Although the agricultural priesthood in this world is almost monopolized by the God of Earth, there are still opportunities.

At worst, you can just serve him as a subordinate god!
Demeter had no desire for power. In a world without Zeus, she would probably rather walk around the garden every day and bless the earth as ordered... What a perfect life it would be in a world without that donkey!
Thinking of this, Hermes couldn't help but sigh slightly... He estimated that he would have to be Almes for several hundred years at least.

Otherwise, he would not have chosen to form an ally with this kind of natural plant with extremely strong vitality that can be reborn as long as a trace of it remains.

The Thousand-Thread Spider Web Vine is a special plant that is very beautiful when it grows up. It can use countless fine threads to weave various colorful webs. Although it is called a spider web, it does not catch insects and birds, but magical animals on land.

This plant can only grow by absorbing magical power, so its web is extremely tough and can even trap some large magical creatures.

Even when she can't get food, she can rely on her web to slowly absorb the magic power in the air to sustain her life...but she can't grow quickly.

The Thousand Silk Spider Web Vine is so powerful that it is difficult for it to even sprout, let alone quickly absorb the growth power that would allow it to survive the winter.

However, this is also a two-way choice. If it is difficult to germinate and grow, then it will be painful for her to grow.

It is unknown whether the Thousand-Thread Spider Web Vine that Almes discovered in the garden of the Northland Palace had a good or bad fate.

Because a large number of ordinary people come and go in the royal back garden, a magic circle is used to maintain the magical energy in it to the point where only ordinary plants can grow... This is not necessary, but doesn't His Majesty the King have a white dragon companion?

The nearby area where Ruth Kania has lived all year round could not possibly not be affected.

But when a rebellion broke out in the palace that year, the formation was temporarily suspended for a while.

The Thousand Silk Spider Web Vine took this opportunity to sprout... although there were only a few small leaves.

When she was young, the Thousand Silk Spider Web Vine would imitate the plants around it, but it was woven, and the difference could be seen even if it was smooth and carefully observed.

However, generally no one will check each of the same plants in the lawn one by one.

Except for Almes who was a bit bored and didn't want to play the palace intrigue game with those kids.

At that time, he was worried about his mediocre physical talents, and then he discovered this good thing.

Fortunately, as the goddess of seeds, Persephone was mainly responsible for the growth of grain seeds, but other plants were also involved.

With the small amount of divine power she gave him, the young knight Almes was able to completely bind the plant.

Even though he is taking advantage now, this is a soul bond.

When the day comes when he turns back into Hermes, his Thousand Silk Spider Web Vine will naturally transform into a divine creature along with him.

Destiny is really an interesting thing.

Hermes suddenly remembered those seemingly meaningless little things he had done in order to obtain the prophecy of Taiji, the goddess of fate in Toril... He didn't know whether the other party's goal had been achieved.

But he did find this world according to Taiji's prediction.

and so……

Hermes calmed himself down…Why was he feeling a little sentimental today?
He gathered his inexplicably drifting thoughts and looked up at "Toronto".

The Toronto wizard was looking up at the sky with a dreamy look on his face.

The Toronto wizard slightly opened his red lips, with two traces of red on his pale cheeks. He clenched his fists to encourage the scroll in the air, which was still making its last effort and had already materialized the phantom of a mountain.

It's normal that no one has ever suspected that he is the Mage Lori, really.

If it was the guy standing here, he would just make sarcastic remarks... after all, he is unhappy with both sides.

The gap between Toronto and Lowry is like the gap between Ares and Athena.

Although they both play Legion Combat, who would think that they are the same person?

Almes actually always thought that he was a good actor, but the truthfulness he pretended to be sometimes could not catch up with the unexpected performance of some people.

For example, Toronto is currently immersed in its character setting.

Almes will always remember who he is... so I really can't understand how someone can be so immersed in it that his personality becomes split. Isn't he afraid that one day he will completely turn into Toronto?

Even gods will be affected after acting for too long. The better ones will have their faces split into two, and the worse ones will have their original selves turned into faces.

If it was so simple to play another being entirely, he wouldn't have to completely abandon everything, reincarnate, and let Hermes disappear completely from the multiverse.

Almes didn't think Lowry didn't know this, so how did he ensure that nothing would happen to him?

“You have such rich expressions.” Evelyn Costa, who was hanging on a branch, looked down with a smile.

Almes' eyes narrowed suddenly, and he slowly replied: "Because, it's too boring?"

Although his voice was calm and his tone was flat, you could still hear the question mark at the end.

Evelyn Costa nodded: “Yeah, it’s boring.

Perhaps only the coming of God can arouse our interest.”

Almes gave an awkward yet polite smile.

Evelyn Costa looked at the gentle and kind young man with a bit of regret... Hey, their Temple of Valor really needs such a gentle and polite nature mage!
In fact, their heroic believers are really good. Each of them has a trace of the Lord of Heroes' divine power on them, so there is no need to worry about the current situation of divine power contamination.

Unfortunately, it is difficult for nature mages to accept the Lord of Valor's philosophy.

Evelyn Costa sighed with regret, but still had some hope, and shouted loudly: "You see, courage is the ladder of human progress!"

"What are you talking about?" Toronto came back to his senses and asked in surprise, "No, Sister Evelyn, do you know what you are doing?
This is the Church of the Storm!"

Even though he was extremely bold and reckless, he certainly wouldn't dare to lure the Lord of Storms' followers into converting to Christianity in his church!
Even if Almes is a pan-believer, that won't work!

This is not something that can be explained simply by thinking hard.

As expected, there are temples for gods but no ordinary believers. It’s all their own fault.

“Ah, that…” Almes, who was cut off from replying, had just opened his mouth when a loud roar suddenly erupted in the sky.

The last remaining pages of the Lord of Knowledge's scroll suddenly exploded.

An old voice sounded in the air: "Knowledge is the ladder of human progress!"

Toronto and Almes couldn't help but look at Evelyn Costa.

The two hostile parties in the Grass Garden were unable to control the urge to look at her.

The word 'talent' was too subtle, like a response to Evelyn Costa.

Almes smiled awkwardly, "It seems that Ms. Evelyn Costa has a very different status in the Temple of Valor."

But not everyone can get a response from the Lord of Knowledge by shouting like that.

Evelyn Costa stamped her feet in dissatisfaction, causing the treetops beneath her feet to shake: "Scroll Mountain is about to collapse, and you still have time to meddle in other people's business!"

The reason why she said this was naturally because the phantom that appeared on the god-level scroll just now was not just an image.

Even gods cannot create divine damage out of thin air.

In order to avoid affecting himself, the Lord of Knowledge chose to let the scroll absorb the divine power accumulated by Scroll Mountain over the years.

If the scroll is not destroyed, it will just consume some of the divine power.

But if the scroll is destroyed, the scroll mountain bound to it will naturally collapse as well.

The Lord of Knowledge is really cruel.

No one expected that he would be so willing to do this.

No matter what resentment the Lord of Storms had, he could not ask for anything more since the Lord of Knowledge had paid such a huge price.

“What a cruel heart!” Evelyn Costa was stunned after just muttering a few words… She tilted her head and thought for a few seconds before saying in a strange tone, “Oh~ By the way, there are no ordinary people on Scroll Mountain and within a thousand miles of Scroll Mountain!”

I guess not even a mile away.

Anyone who heard her muttering loudly couldn't help but think of this.

In the past, there might have been ordinary people who tried to cling to Scroll Mountain...especially in the years after Scroll Mountain first appeared, but as the great scholars gained more and more control over Scroll Mountain, ordinary people moved farther and farther away.

By the time the Lord of Knowledge summoned adventurers to fight the rebels in Scroll Mountain, even the prospective scholars had run away.

Whether the Scroll Mountain collapses or not, it really doesn’t affect anyone.

Except for those guys who think they have occupied all the secret passages and magic arrays in Scroll Mountain, forcing the Lord of Knowledge to compromise.
