Origin’s Destination

The first thing Rope saw was not the face of the High Priestess where vigor and old age went hand in hand. Rather, it was her gentle and exuberant flame of life.

It was hard to imagine that this was an elderly person who was already in her eighties in Sennogi's mouth...

Professor Oak's flame of life was slightly less vigorous than the one in front of her. It wasn't unexpected that Rope would have such a face. This wasn't even a face...from the life flame, this one was indeed quite old.

However, these were all minor issues, what really surprised Rope...was still the color of this one's Flame of Life.

The normal Flame of Life was an orange-red color. The Flame of Life that was used by Entei, Ho-Oh and the others was colorful or purple. And Rope's Flame of Life is Red color. Of course, it was also because of this guy's abnormality.

But the one in front of her, her Flame of Life was laced with the slightest hint of blue.

Rope understood that this was the influence of the Origin on her, but he wasn't sure if this situation was good or bad for her.

After all, it might not be a good thing if a mere human was in contact with the Origin's divine power lineage.

Just when Rope was feeling a bit lost in thought, the High Priest over there had already saluted him.

"Greetings, Divine Lord."

The priest who followed behind her also made the same gesture. Mizu was a bit at a loss for words for a moment. But soon she too reacted and curtsied to Rope.

Sennogi looked at Rope. Rope didn't avoid it. He was a human, a god, and a Pokémon of sorts. There were many identities, and it wasn't a surprise either way.

Still, Rope returned their salute.

"Rise, gentlemen, there is no need to be so polite."

The look on Rope's face was fairly calm. The High Priest was just as bland. But Mizu and the priest who served the High Priest with her were not so calm.

Since Rope had accepted this gift, that meant that he did indeed Rope was a god...

It wasn't a reputation that could be casually answered, because there really were gods in this world.

So this Rope guy... really is a god????

Mizu looked at Rope and couldn't help but gulp.

It turned out that he had really been joking with a god for such a long time?

They, the priests, were chosen to serve the gods. But now when the god really appeared in front of them. How should they react?

The answer was...not much of a reaction at all.

"All of you don't have to be so polite. The god you all believe in is not me either."

Rope smiled shallowly and said to the three priests.

"Then may I ask for your divine title and divine name, my lord?"

The smile on the Grand Elder's face remained unchanged, and the deference on his face did not diminish due to Rope's self-effacement.

"My name is Rope, and I was ordained as a god by Arceus. But not really a god in the true sense of the word. I have yet to fulfill my divine duties. As for the reason..."

Rope said this with a bitter smile on his face.

"That would be a very long story..."

"Since your lordship is unwilling to reveal it, there is no need to reveal it over there. The power of that god in you is not a forgery."

The High Priestess spoke clearly as well.

The two behind her could not feel the presence of divine power. But it was also clear...there were some things one could do that everyone could do. Just because there were things that others could do, didn't mean that they could definitely do them themselves.

The reason why the High Priestess was the High Priestess was because she had the deepest connection with the gods.

The reason why everyone was looking forward to Sennogi becoming a Sacrifice was because... the power in the middle of the temple really fit Sennogi extremely well.

"I wonder what exactly Your Excellency is looking for me for?"

The High Priestess had no doubts, but still opened her mouth to ask.

Rope looked at her face and narrowed his eyes, suddenly feeling a sense that this woman knew quite a bit.

So he removed a small fireball from his belt, dispersed the flames on it, and waved it in front of the High Priestess's face.

"It's the problem with this one..."

It was a small, lake-blue bead, crystal clear, like the coalescence of a true lake.

The High Priest looked at the bead. Even though she had known where it was for a long time, she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief...this way, she at least only didn't have to worry about it actually going missing.

"This is! The Origin!!!"

And the one behind the High Priestess couldn't help but cry out in shock. Their trepidation this morning was because of the disappearance of the Origin. And they didn't expect that now, the Origin that was so powerful that it was able to change the landscape of this large area had actually turned into a bead and was lying quietly in Rope's hand.

While serving the gods, the women and men were also cautious about the power of the Origin that the gods had left behind.

It was because this power was simply too powerful. It made them have to be careful, careful, and more careful when dealing with it. Because once it got out of control, it might as well be the entire Sen Mizu Wetlands flying into the sky.

Now...she truly believed that the one in front of her...was a god.

Or a god and its power.

Mizu, on the other hand, was just staring at Rope with wide eyes...like she was looking at a monster...

Sennogi, on the other hand, wasn't looking at Rope, one of her eyes had been drawn tightly to the lake-blue bead. She couldn't help but come up and touch the bead.

And that bead, too, shimmered with a blue light, and as Sennogi drew closer, the blue light on it grew stronger and stronger.

Such a situation was indeed normal, having lived under the influence of the Origin of Water since childhood, they just used their natural favoritism when confronted with it.

And the better the talent, the more likely to borrow the power of the Origin of Water, the more they would feel close to the Origin of Water.

If one really reached a certain level, then it might be possible to accommodate the Origin of Water into one's own body and then use this power.

Although this power still didn't belong to him. But as long as the master didn't give the word, then it could be used.

"I have something I want to talk to you about."

Rope spoke seriously.

The High Priest looked at the other party's eyes, then nodded silently.

Waving his hand at whichever priest was behind him. With a nod, that priest turned around and prepared to leave. She wasn't one of those young people anymore. So curious about everything. Thinking about peeking into the original mysteries of this world.

She just wanted to live her life now. It was already exceptionally hard.

"Sennogi, you take Mizu too and leave here first." Rope said to Sennogi as well.

However, he turned his head, only to realize that Sennogi's current state wasn't quite right.

"Sennogi!"

Rope shouted with a frown. After seeing Sennogi ignoring it, Rope simply waved his hand.

Invisible heart flames burned at the bottom of Sennogi's heart.

Sennogi's eyes cleared instantly. When he looked at the bead again, a wary look was already in his eyes.

Rope, however, shook his head and touched Sennogi's head before saying, "There's no need to be so careful with it. He really isn't a bad thing."

Sennogi looked at Rope with some skepticism.

Rope had nothing else to say but to shake his head, then said, "You leave first. The High Priest and I have some things to discuss."

Sennogi looked at Rope and the High Priest with some suspicion.

The Great Sacrifice sensed Sennogi's gaze towards him. A kind smile is shown.

The door was closed and the three who were outside looked at each other.

"There's still a lot of work to be done in the temple, so I'll leave the company for now.Mizu, if the High Priestess needs anything you'll go ahead and do it."

The middle-aged female priestess looked at the closed door and silently shook her head before speaking.

"Okay senior!"

Mizu responded with a serious face.

After all, such a request wasn't a bad thing for herself, which priest wouldn't want to learn from the side of a great priest?

But then she looked to her best friend Sennogi at her side.

Sennogi was currently leaning against a stone pillar, frowning and wondering what he was thinking.

But Mizu had some rough guesses as well.

"I finally understand why everyone says you're the next High Priestess if you want it, Sennogi."

Mizu spoke as she walked over to Sennogi and looked at Sennogi in amazement.

Sennogi looked up at her best friend.

"How so? I still don't quite understand."

The legend was no secret in the village. It had been rumored in the village since Sennogi was four or five years old. It said that if Sennogi wanted to be a priest, then he would definitely end up becoming a great priest.

At first, Sennogi took this as a compliment and appreciation.

But Sennogi never knew the reason for this rumor. Sennogi was very wary of this kind of praise and boasting for no reason. Not everyone could accept such an unwarranted fate.

That's why Sennogidao didn't choose to become a priest in the end.

In her mind, she would not become a priest until she could figure out why she was being and becoming a priest.

But to the many villagers, this was nothing more than a rumor that everyone took as a compliment to Sennogi. After all, in the entire village, the person everyone respected the most was the Great Sacrifice.

This kind of talk is almost like saying to a small child, "What kind of great official will you be when you grow up!

And the little child was skeptical in his heart, "Why do you say I can be a great official? How can I be a great official? I don't want to be a big official until I know better!

One side is talking nonsense and the other side is thinking nonsense.

Earlier Mizu also thought it was just a rumor. Until today, when she saw that Sennogi was attracted to the Water Source. And the Water Origin also gave a positive response...

"Because your Water Origin's fit is even higher than the Great Sacrifice, right..."

Mizu shook her head just as quickly as those words left her mouth.

"Whether it's higher than the Great Sacrifice or not I'm not quite sure, but your current degree of attunement with the Origin of Water is definitely higher than mine. It's higher than all but the Great Sacrifice should be."

Sennogi was listening in a cloud of confusion.

"What is the Origin of Water again? I still don't know anything about it?"

Sennogi had a torn look on his face.

Mizu, on the other hand, couldn't say anything after a moment of silence. He could only silently shake his head before saying, "I'm also not very clear on what exactly the Origin is, but I know..."

"That great god inside is only here for the Origin."

Sennogi still couldn't help but look over there when she heard that...

Rope... is also here for the so-called Origin?

Then...why does he know me?

And on the other side.

"You said Sennogi took that guy to the temple? And was received by the High Priest?"

The village chief looked at the youth who was reporting to him from below and frowned, not knowing what to say for a moment.

How could such words sound outrageous. Let alone Sennogi. Even if it was him who wanted to see the High Priest, it would depend on whether the High Priest had the time or the mood.

Not to mention the fact that Sennogi had brought along that inexplicable person.

The village chief was a bit uncertain. If you had to say, if the High Priestess had the time, then it wouldn't be impossible for his sister to bring a stranger to see her.

But...

"Are you sure it was the Great Elder who went to see that youth?"

"Yes, Village Chief, absolutely. I was hiding behind a pillar at the time, and I saw all of this with my own eyes!"

The Seito down below was also very serious in what he said, after all, this kind of joke was really not allowed either. Other people didn't know what this village chief of his was really like, but he knew it very well.

Seemingly easygoing, but in reality, for the sake of his goal, he was also capable of being ruthless.

But that youth didn't look like a threat to their plans right now either.

But...who would be a threat to their plans?

They were also only thinking of getting bigger and stronger and creating another glory.

Doing business in a serious manner. He didn't really think that someone who could get the High Priest to meet him personally could care much about such things.

But the current village chief also didn't care about Rope's identity at all, what he cared about now was...

"This guy... is using my sister?"

Below, the corner of Seito's mouth twitched... he had guessed that the Village Chief must care about this...

After pondering for a moment, the village chief slapped the table, then got up and said to Seito, "Let's go! Let's go and meet this outsider as well! Let's see what kind of person he is!"

After saying that, he directly got up and walked towards the door.

Seito let out a soft sigh and could only follow.

"So that's it?"

Rope looked at the small bead in his hand with some surprise.

"So this thing can still communicate?"

The small bead lay in Rope's hand, moving and not moving, and it didn't look like it was able to communicate at all.

But the Great Priest opposite him did have a smile on his face as he said, "It is true that the Origin can be communicated with, but it either needs to be attuned to the Origin to a certain degree."

"And Lord Rope you are the energy in your body is the element of fire, naturally there is no way for you and the Origin of Water to communicate with each other."

The corner of Rope's mouth twitched, in reality... let alone the Origin of Water, Rope guessed that she couldn't communicate properly with any of the Origins.

"However, if you want to ask us about the story of this village...then I'll have to tell you slowly."
