Chapter 112: Becoming Your God (XV)

Start from the beginning
                                    

Looking at all of this, the faces of several young people could not help but smile. Just then, a dozen or so flames appeared in the distance. It seemed that a group of people were running towards their area with torches.

    怎么回事?戍族青年面面相觑,几个跳跃,来到山田边缘,伸长脖子朝下望去。

What’s going on? The young people looked at each other and with a couple leaps, arrived at the edge of the mountain field. They stretched their necks and looked down. 

    梯田之下,一个熟悉的身影独自坐在木桩上,静静地凝望着山下。他背脊直挺,仿佛与夜色融为一体,有如一道屏障,默默守护着戍族的领土,不容来袭者逾越一步。

Under the terrace, a familiar figure sat alone on a wooden stake, gazing quietly at the foot of the mountain. His back was straight as if he had merged himself with the night, like a barrier silently guarding the territory of the Shu clan, not allowing the attackers to go one step further.

    是乌诺神……

It was God Uno… 

    望着他的背影,几名戍族青年双眼一热,一股心酸油然而生。

Looking at his back, several of the youth’s eyes were hot and a feeling of sorrow rose from their hearts. 

    在他们毫无所觉之时,他仍在默默保护着他们。难怪他们在城内被众人围攻,城外的土地却依然完好无损。并非那些人好心放他们一马,而是乌诺神在暗中庇佑。

While they were unaware of it, he was still silently protecting them. No wonder they were besieged in the city but their land outside remained intact. It was not the people who were kind enough to let them go, but the God Uno who was secretly keeping them safe.

    “唔……”一名青年蹲在地上,捂脸低泣,“对不起,对不起……”

“Sob…” A young man squatted on the ground, covering his face and sobbing, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”

    另外几人也忍不住痛哭,为他们之前的自私和无知。

Several others began to cry for their selfishness and ignorance too. 

    【世上有哪位神灵会像他这般,全心全意地帮助自己的信奉者?】缇玛的话浮现在他们脑中。

【What god in the world would wholeheartedly help his believers like that?】Just then, Tima’s words came to mind. 

    【我们理所当然地享受着他的恩惠,到最后,却反过来背弃他,怨恨他。】

【We took the benefits he gave us for granted but in the end, we turned our backs on him and resented him.】

    “无论您是什么身份,我都愿意信奉您。”一名青年低咛道,“即便需要奉献我的生命,我也不会有丝毫犹豫……”

“No matter who you are, I’m willing to put my faith in you.” The same young man said in a low voice, “Even if I need to throw in my life for it, I will not hesitate at all…” 

    第二天,族长带着全族人来到乌诺神庙,祭拜他们的神灵,祈求他的原谅。

The next day, the Chief brought the entire family with him to the Temple of Uno and worshiped their god once more, praying for his forgiveness.

    在经历最初的茫然和怨怼后,戍族众人重新坚定自己的信仰,奉乌诺为神,永不背叛。

After experiencing the initial sorrow and resentment, the Shu Clan reaffirmed their beliefs and regarded Uno as their God, promising to never betray him again.
