Sickly lady in wheelchair, but God

The biggest change may be the abolition of residence fees, but this means nothing to those who have already paid for and built a house.

The second biggest change was that Marcus' house was cleaned out, and then Sera and the gladiators moved in.

What about money?

Where did the money go?

Like the residents of Black Storm City, Alsophila waited every day, but after waiting for so long, all they saw was two gladiators being killed.

Swish.

The bodies of the two gladiators were hung at the gate of the arena.

Sera pointed to their bodies and angrily stated their crimes.

These two people felt that they had made great contributions and deserved a large sum of money. After being rejected, they became malicious and tried to assassinate Sera at night, but naturally failed.

Two days later, three more gladiators were hung at the gate of the Colosseum.

Serra published their crimes as he had done last time.

These three people also felt that they had made great contributions and wanted to share a large sum of money. They learned from previous lessons and did not choose to assassinate Serra, but instead wanted to run away with the money.

The plan was perfect, but something went wrong at the first step and they were reported!

"What are these cowards thinking? They just want to take advantage of the situation to kill a few people and take away a large sum of money. Do they still have Black Storm in their hearts? No, we must not hand Black Storm over to them, otherwise they will become the new Marcus! I must do this personally, otherwise Black Storm will never be able to return to the way I remember it!"

Sera angrily accused Alsophila in front of her.

Alsophila's heart was surging.

She felt something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what.

Over the past few decades, she has traveled to many places and met many people, but has never had an in-depth communication with anyone except her father.

What are people really like?

It was still afternoon, still at the beach, still next to that house.

In fact, Alsophila no longer had any expectations, but to her surprise, this time she actually saw the girl who lent her her legs to lean on.

[Here, I'll give you some fish.]

Alsophila handed the fish over slowly.

51 God’s Favor, God’s Approval

Alsophila spent a dreamy afternoon.

Although she was just sitting cross-legged on the ground, watching the girl leisurely eat the fish she had grilled, she felt genuinely happy and her whole body felt warm, as if she was sitting by a fire.

Eating fish was a joy, but it was the first time she knew that watching someone else eat fish could also be joyful.

She suddenly remembered the days when she was with her father.

She used to not understand why her father would laugh when he saw her doing something very easy, but now she somewhat understood.

Daddy laughed, not because she "did those things", but because "she" did those things.

Now, the feeling she has when she looks at this disabled girl is similar to the feeling her father had when he looked at her, right?

Alsophila spinulosa likes this tranquility and this simple life that does not require any extra thinking.

If only times like this could last forever.

In this way, she wouldn't have to wonder why Marcus and the others became like that, or why Black Storm City remained the same after Marcus and the others died, and she wouldn't have to wonder what kind of world her father and the others expected.

For her, these issues were too complicated.

She couldn't find any role models to learn from, nor could she find anyone with whom she could truly communicate.

At first, she thought Sera was the best person to communicate with.

They didn't meet often, but every time they were together, Sera, who was much younger than her, could show the sharpness and wisdom of an older sister. Not only could she occasionally understand what she meant quickly, but she could also say some truths that made her eyes light up.

As a result, their relationship became better and better.

But with the death of Marcus and others, everything changed.

Alsophila found that she began to not understand Sera. Sera's attitude towards her had not changed at all, but when she looked at that familiar face, she felt that the relationship between them was becoming more and more distant.

Was it because they saw each other less often, or was it because Sera's words no longer made her feel brighter?

It’s really a headache!

Every time at this time she would miss her father because she hoped someone could give her an answer.

"not in a good mood?"

Suddenly, Alsophila heard a voice in his ear.

She looked up and found that the person who spoke was the girl who ate the fish.

She shook her head and tried to lie.

But the girl easily saw through her lie: "Want to talk to someone?"

Nothing!

Alsophila shook his head again.

The girl smiled and said, "I have a way that will allow you to communicate with others even if you can't speak."

Eh, is there such a thing?

Alsophila's attention was immediately drawn. She supported herself on the ground with her hands, leaned forward, and moved directly to the girl's legs.

"Do you remember the symbols engraved on the entrance to the Colosseum?"

【Um. 】

Alsophila spinulosa nodded vigorously.

The girl said, "Those symbols are called characters. Right now, they are still in a very primitive state, but once they are perfected, every sentence and every word you say can be expressed with corresponding characters. Then, if you want to say something to others, just write it down in characters. Well, this also has problems. If the person you are talking to is illiterate, he still won't understand what you are trying to say, but this is much better than you making gestures for a long time but the other person doesn't understand at all."

【…】

"How about learning how to write?"

A seductive smile caught Alsophila's eyes.

Her heart was moved, but only for a moment, and then she gave an answer that was beyond the girl's expectations.

[Hmph, I won’t learn! ]

Alsophila crossed his arms across his chest and turned away.

But she regretted it after she finished twisting. After all, the girl had good intentions, and her behavior was too hurtful.

But the girl's next reaction was beyond her expectations.

"Is it because the human language was created based on the orc language that you don't want to learn it?"

Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

Alsophila spinulosa was shocked and asked, "How did you know that?"

She was not completely unfamiliar with writing. When she eavesdropped on the conversation of passers-by, she learned that human writing was created based on the orc writing. So, after listening to the girl's words, the first thought that popped into her mind was -

Orc stuff? Even Earth Dragons don't learn it!

Her prejudice against orcs was not just talk; she really hated them, otherwise she would not have thought that "you, the orc" was more aggressive than "you, the brainless earth dragon".

The girl nodded: "I respect your choice."

Alsophila felt a little embarrassed, so she quickly took out the second grilled fish from her pocket and handed it to the girl.

The girl did not refuse and ate the fish slowly. She then handed over the third fish, but this time the girl refused.

"I am full."

Are you full with just two fish?

For her, this is just the beginning.

Alsophila didn't know what to do for a moment. She just sat there, looking at the sea and eating fish silently.

In fact, she wanted to say something to the girl, but she couldn't speak, and she didn't want to embarrass others with her difficult-to-understand gestures.

Life is so hard. It would be great if I only had to eat fish every day and didn’t have to do anything else.

When the sun sank into the sea, Alsophila knew it was time to go back.

She got up from the ground.

"for you."

【Um? 】

Alsophila turned around and saw the girl handing her a slate with complex symbols carved on it with white lines. She looked at the girl in confusion.

"Your name, written in a character I thought of myself. It has nothing to do with orcs. I give it to you."

[How...how do you know my name? ]

Alsophila opened its eyes wide.

The girl said, "I don't know your name, but this is a newly created character. Just treat it as the character that corresponds to your name."

Name...my name...the character that corresponds to my name...

Alsophila's hand gently fell on the stone slab. She wanted to touch the two symbols, but was afraid of rubbing them off.

The sea breeze blew her slightly messy hair, and her heartbeat unconsciously quickened.

She had received many things while traveling, but only this slate had a different meaning.

She felt something vaguely connected her to the two symbols, a connection that came from deep within her body, as inseparable as an arm and a shoulder.

She didn't know that this was actually a name given by God.

God once gave a name to the first intelligent life and the first messenger of God in the world. Since then, God has never given a name to any intelligent life.

This naming is different from the previous ones. It is not created from nothing, but it still represents God’s approval.

The moment God's approval was realized, the blood of God in Alsophila's body began to boil.

She didn't understand what it meant, but now her eyes were shining brightly.

[Tomorrow...can I still see you here? ]

Alsophila didn't know how to use gestures to ask the question in her mind, so she could only stare at the girl in front of her.

Miraculously, the girl still understood her thoughts this time.

“I come here occasionally, but not every day.”

【Um! 】

Alsophila spinulosa nodded vigorously.

That's enough.

She never greedily wants to possess anything completely. For her, having a tomorrow to look forward to in life is something worth celebrating.

Well, tomorrow…see you next time!

After replenishing its energy, the tree also ran away quickly.

Until her figure completely disappeared at the end of the road, Tong Yao still did not leave, but quietly watched the sea gradually shrouded by the night.

In the past, even if she was looking forward to the Alsophila and the Sword of Murphys creating some new sparks, she would not have paid so much attention to Alsophila.

But after experiencing Eve's death, her mentality underwent some subtle changes.

She is still the same person as before, but her perspective on the world is different from before. She is no longer just a bystander who sets the underlying logic and calmly clicks on the automatic simulation. She tries to "integrate" more into this world.

This integration not only leaves more traces of her in this world, but also means that in her eyes this world is no longer just a distant "another world", but a world as warm as the world she originally lived in.

To put it simply, it's something like a sense of belonging.

Of course, it is only similar, because she is God. When she has complete control over the world, it is not she who belongs to the world, but the world that belongs to her.

In Tong Yao's opinion, Alsophila and Eve are somewhat similar.

They are equally naive, equally ignorant, and equally don't know how to understand the world.
