Chapter 568: God of Agriculture
Kira didn't pay much attention to this special party which he could rarely attend . Instead, he was more interested in the god they were worshipping.
"I say, Miss Reporter?"
"Yes! Just call me Zena!"
Oh, so your name is Zena...
Kira nodded and asked, "Ms. Zena, which 'god' are you worshipping in this festival?"
"God?"
Zena was stunned at first, then explained, "This festival is called the 'Agricultural Festival', and the one being worshipped is of course the God of Agriculture!"
"Agricultural God? In the ancient legends of this world, there are gods of this type?"
In this world, Kira knew there were the God of Fire, the God of Sky, the God of Thunder, the God of Time, the God of Life and Death, and the Goddess of Ice and Snow, but he had never heard of the God of Agriculture.
"According to the rumors handed down in the town, the god of agriculture is in charge of agriculture. He controls the harvest of farmland, so we need to offer sacrifices to him, serve wine and hold banquets every year to ensure a good harvest in the next year."
"But some people say that He is actually the god who controls the weather."
Controlling the weather? Could it be the Weather Man? Is there a Sunny Lady who can make the sun come out with a prayer?
After a flash of a movie in his memory, Kira shook his head and said, "Managing agriculture is relatively abstract, and the harvest of farmland depends on the weather. There is nothing wrong with this."
In fact, Kira could understand this point. According to his knowledge of some myths and legends, the god of agriculture was the child of the god of heaven, and his ability was to change the climate of an area in order to achieve a good harvest.
"What is the name of this 'God of Agriculture'?"
"I think his name is... Saturnus?"
Kira curled his lips and didn't respond. He felt that the name seemed familiar.
If you think about it carefully, the Western Continent even has Chronos, the god of time, so it's not strange that there is Saturn, the god of agriculture. I just don't know if they have any connection.
This is not the first or second time that Majima has named the characters in this work after ancient Greek gods. For example, the vampire Hayberion in "Saint Ten Old Two" is named after Hyperion in the Twelve Titans in Greek mythology; "Sky God" Serena and "Moon Dragon" Selene are also named after Hyperion's daughter, "Moon Goddess" Selene; and "Time God" Chronos is named after Chronos, the original god of the Orphic religion in Greek mythology.
All three of the above are derived from the ancient Greek pantheon.
According to Kira's understanding in his previous life, due to the similar pronunciation and writing, this primitive god Chronos is often confused with Kronos, who is also from the ancient Greek pantheon. And Kronos is confused with Saturn, the ancient Roman god of agriculture. That is, some legends of Kronos are stuffed into the legends of Saturn.
Now these names are placed in the same world view, and they are all legendary gods. Kira doesn't believe that there is no connection between them.
"But... it's a bit far-fetched to link time and agriculture together. It shouldn't be such a coincidence!"
According to Timaria, Chronos is a god worshipped in Mildion, the ancient capital of time. Saturnus is also a god worshipped now. They are probably from the same era. The former has a descendant who can receive his soul, while the latter...
Kira took a look at the people in front of him who were singing and dancing, with flushed faces and having a great time...at the party, and felt that the prestige of this god of agriculture had been shattered into powder, and was even blown away by a tractor that happened to pass by.
"These people no longer have any reverence for the gods or the pursuit of powerful magic. All they care about is eating, drinking and having fun. All they think about is how to coax the handsome men and beautiful women they like back home to look after their cats."
"It's...no hope..."
Not to mention a descendant who received the soul of the god of agriculture, there is not even anyone who can use the relevant magic!
Kira was disappointed, very disappointed!
This kind of ancient ritual should have been accompanied by a powerful and scheming mastermind, such as an evil god who has lived for hundreds or thousands of years. He lurks in the undercurrent, taking advantage of human greed and darkness, planning one terrible scheme after another, attempting to resurrect at an appropriate time to rule the world or destroy humanity.
Unfortunately, the plan that the mastermind had been planning for hundreds and thousands of years was discovered and exposed by the destined man himself who happened to pass by. After a battle, the evil god was completely destroyed or sealed forever by the just, kind and great self.
During this period, you will meet a kind and gentle heroine, or a brainless vase with big breasts who will only hold you back, and fall in love with her briefly. This love will become the power to defeat the evil god in the end.
At the end of the story, there are only two possible endings: one is that small love cannot defeat big love, and the so-called love between young people is destined to not keep a person who belongs to the whole world, and the heroine will leave to eradicate the evil in the world, and the heroine will lead the people in the town to continue living here and take on the responsibility of guarding the seal; the other is a tragic ending, the heroine dies in the battle, and she chooses to continue wandering and fighting against other evil gods or dark forces.
The story is old-fashioned but classic, at least it can be made into a movie, a chapter, or a short story, but what happened? Nothing happened!!
For a moment, Kira suddenly had the idea of "Since there is no villain, I might as well be the villain", and this idea became stronger and stronger.
"What's hopeless?"
Kira sighed, attracting Zena's attention. She didn't know why this person's mood suddenly became so low, as if he had lost something important.
Did he just have some unspeakable affair with those big sisters who looked like they wanted to eat people...
Just as the girl was daydreaming, Kira's voice appeared in her ears again: "Ms. Zena, has this god of agriculture passed down any magic?"
"Eh? Why are you asking this suddenly?" The girl Zena looked at Kira curiously, her eyes blinking. She seemed innocent and simple, without any scheming, very similar to the legendary 'eyes full of wisdom'.
Why? Kira's idea is very simple: the God of Fire, the God of Sky, the God of Thunder, and the God of Ice and Snow left behind the magic of destroying gods, the God of Time left behind the magic of receiving His soul, and the God of Life also has a curse... From this point of view, there is no reason why the God of Agriculture did not have a backup plan!
"I'm just curious! To be honest, I'm a wizard, so I'm quite curious about this!"
"I see! Wizard..."
Zena looked Kira up and down again and found that he did have an extraordinary temperament. Under the interplay of firelight and moonlight, he looked both mysterious and charming, making people want to find out more.
Seeing that the other party did not answer for a long time and even began to stare at him in a daze, Kira suddenly wondered: "Ms. Zena?"
What's wrong with this girl? Could it be that she really has some extraordinary magical heritage? !
Kira's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but think: Ancient magic must be very powerful! ! Could it be a reception type? What can be done after receiving the god of agriculture?
It's related to agriculture, so it shouldn't just control the growth of crops, right? Since there is a local legend that the god of agriculture can control the climate, the magic left behind may be to control the weather, rain, wind, thunder, cold, heat, etc. It's quite powerful to think about it this way.
In addition to the weather, there may also be the ability to control plants.
In the magic world, wizards who can control plant magic are not uncommon. Doler, one of Levi's two major suitors, is one of them. He uses seed magic to fight enemies by controlling the plants grown from seeds. He is the weakest wizard of this type; and Volod is undoubtedly one of the strongest wizards in this regard. After all, as the Tenth Saint, his strength is obvious to all.
Kira's gaze fell on the crowd around him again. If there was a magician in this place who could receive the Soul of the God of Agriculture, then the other party's control in this area might very likely surpass Volod.
Such a person, even if his strength is not even at the shield level, is at least a king!
