Beast Almanac, Winter 1654.

The parchment-like book is closed, and the rough hands caress the surface of the sheepskin, and the leather that has undergone multiple treatments has a soft touch like a petal, but not as fragile as a petal, and it is precisely for this reason that this ancient book can still be preserved to this day.

"It's been a cold winter this year!"

"Yes, it may be Xiaoice River Ji, experts say so. ”

"Do you still want to go to the Sacrifice Academy?"

"Well, I want to go. ”

"Seriously, I don't think orcs are suitable for sacrifice, it's too wasteful. ”

"Whoever said that, in the past, orcs could also be sacrificed, and the beast god was fair to those who served him, and did not distinguish between orcs and females. ”

Fingers ran over the spine of the parchment scroll, carefully pushing the book onto the shelf, "God is the only justice in the world. "Therefore, no one stipulates that orcs cannot be sacrificed, he must go to that sacrifice academy, and he will become an excellent priest in the future.

Rhodes is a child of an ordinary orc family of the Tiger Clan, as an orc, he does not show an early talent for aggressiveness like children of the same age, he prefers to read quietly than fighting, for this reason, the parents of the family often joke that he was born to the wrong sex, if it is a female, you can go to the sacrificial academy to learn to be a sacrifice in the future.

Sacrificial Academy, little Rhodes took this word to heart seriously, and as time passed, he finally made up his mind and decided to go to school at the Sacrificial Academy.

The parents did not object, any decision made by the child after he became an adult, as long as he could bear the consequences, they would not say anything, anyway, the sacrificial academy did not prohibit the admission of orcs, but those people were rarely able to persevere.

Compared to females, orcs lack patience and let them do a delicate and tedious job for a long time, they will get bored and will naturally give up halfway.

These orcs who go to the sacrificial academy and then give up halfway and transfer to other orc academies will not be discriminated against, and everyone will be very open-minded and kind to laugh at their poor patience, and understand the normal situation of such people.

"Congratulations. ”

The admission letter of the Sacrificial Academy arrived as scheduled, Rod accepted the congratulations of the people around him with a smile, and for the first time, he didn't want to go home to share the news with his family, but wanted to go to the Sacrificial Academy to have a look, and he couldn't wait to take a look at it first.

The white jade arch, through the railing, you can see the fragrant grass inside, and the tall buildings standing on the grass, in the center of the square, there is also a huge statue, it is said to be the statue of the beast god, the carving process is not fine, but there seems to be a strange power, people can not look directly at his face.

"Hi Rod!"

The female in the white robe had a handsome face, holding two books in her arms, and a happy smile hung on her face when she saw the arrival of her friend.

"I was accepted. Rod took out the notice and excitedly informed his friend of the good news.

"You're still here!" the female had an expected expression, and the stubborn nature of the orcs was also well known, so when they made a decision, they never regretted it.

The two walked around the path before Rhodes returned home, told his family the good news, and then packed up his things and reported to the academy.

Admission to the Ritual Academy is very simple, and after submitting the admission letter, you can follow the guide to the assigned room to live in, and there is no problem with fees.

The Sacrifice Academy does not charge any fees, only requires these prospective priests to abide by the rules and regulations of the Academy, if they can't abide by it, they can also automatically drop out, as long as they don't act in the name of the sacrifice, no one will care what you do in the future, but if you are expelled for violating the system during the Academy, everyone will reject you because of disrespect to God.

When he was a child, Rhodes once doubted the existence of God, and one historical story told him that when the development of orcs was the most difficult, God was not seen to lend a hand, when the orcs were caught in a battle and suffered heavy casualties, God was not seen to show up to stop them, and when the orcs faced the cold winter and were harvested by the cold, God was not seen to answer their prayers.

However, in that book, after getting that book, Rod suddenly realized that he might have overlooked a lot, a lot of things that he was accustomed to.

“...... The world knows that before the sacrifice of Ace, the sacrifices of the major tribes are their own inheritance, although they all believe in the beast god, but each tribe has its own god, of course, there are still now, but the difference is that at that time, because there were many wars between different gods, and later Lord Ace proposed to 'seek common ground while reserving differences', and on the basis of believing in the beast god, a relatively complete god system was established, which is the "God Genealogy" we see now. ”

The teacher was an old female, whose eyes were full of wisdom, and he was able to tell the story of that period of history without reading a book, about the origin of the "Divine Genealogy", about the major turning point in the history of sacrifice.

Before the sacrifice of Ace, the sacrifices of the major tribes were mostly performed by orcs, and there was an objective reason for this, orcs were able to carry the idol on their backs and migrate.

In the primitive era, the living environment was harsh, not only the war casualties caused by the disharmony of the tribes, but also because of the changes in the natural environment, the tribes had to move their living places, at this time, the importance of the idol is self-evident, and the idol is not accessible to anyone, so the orcs with superior strength and speed have become the first choice for every sacrifice to select disciples.

However, after the Ace Sacrifice carried forward the application of divine power, the power gap between females and orcs could be completely bridged or even reversed because of divine power.

The female, who is already intelligent, meticulous and patient, has become the choice of disciples that every priest prefers, but at this time he has to face another problem, the sacrifices that serve the gods are required to be pure, and this requirement is the same for both orcs and females.

But the orcs are okay to say, anyway, there are many orcs, and there is no shortage of dozens of them who can't find a partner in each generation, and the females are different, the number is scarce, and then let them completely lose the responsibility of reproduction, in the long run, it is not conducive to the development of the tribe.

In the history of sacrifices, this period of time may be the time of the greatest conflict, and Ace sacrifice first put forward the concept of purity of heart, separating the body from the mind, so that the sacrifices are no longer like lambs in a pen, waiting for God's occasional favor, but can freely combine with people, only maintain the purity of the heart to serve God.

Up to now, many sacrifices have been able to marry, which does not affect the piety of their faith.

Later generations also had a different understanding of this point, believing that this was a depravity of divinity, that the practice of Ace's sacrifice defiled the purity of the sacrifice, that it was a practice of self-deception, and that it was disrespectful to God.

“...... However, it turned out that Lord Ace was indeed a man of the gods, and the beast god openly agreed with him, 'At that moment, the sun was shining, the flowers were like brocade, and on that day, the dead trees were spring, and the rain was like ......rain,'" the teacher excitedly quoted from the "Divine Codex", which describes the grand event.

His robe was snow-white, and the red stone was like a crown, like the eyes of God, and it shone quietly above his head, and watched him, and looked at him, and looked at him, and watched him wave his hand and sow the grace of God...... His words are the law, and his words are my commands......

All the students who came to the Sacrificial Academy had read the Divine Codex, and even atheists who did not believe in God, when they saw such a passage, they could not help but think in their minds what that scene should be so exaggerated that the people of the time could record it in such an exaggerated way, so that they could preserve it with the efforts of many generations and preserve it for thousands of years, so that their descendants could see it.

Rhodes thought of the touch of the parchment scroll, of the mystery of the book, God, exists, and only God can make the paper immortal for thousands of years, so that the handwriting lasts forever.

That book was picked up by Rhodes from the forest, and at first it was just an ordinary book, and the content was similar to the "Divine Codex", but there was a lot less descriptive text, which greatly shortened the length of the Divine Codex, and the way of expression was also a little different, but ......

The bell of "Bell Bell" interrupted Rod's thoughts, the teacher left, and the students discussed enthusiastically, in the history of the sacrifice, there are many chapters of this Lord Ace, and it is still an important turning point, which is enough to arouse everyone's curiosity.

Not only because of the various legends he created later, but in the history of orcs, he was also the first female to divorce, the first female to divorce and become a sacrifice, such a first and his various stories later, enough to make him a legend in the mouth of everyone.

Rhodes didn't participate in these discussions, he packed up his books and went to the statue of the beast god, the statue was very tall, but it was not what he wanted to see, what he wanted to see was the face of the statue, however, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see clearly, and his neck was sore.

"Don't bother, I'm from the Eagle Clan, and I have the best eyes, I can't even see clearly, let alone you. ”

There are still a few orcs in the sacrificial academy, and this eagle clan is one, his nose is a little too strong, but he is not bad, and he did not laugh at Rhodes, explaining, "This is the effect of divine power, and I entered the sacrificial academy to learn the application of divine power...... This statue is more than 1,000 years old, and it is said that it was erected by Lord Ace himself, and the statue at that time was probably only more than one person tall, but now it ......."

Flush with the statue is the five-storey school building at the back, so this will grow automatically?

Although he felt that there was a god in this world, Rod still couldn't believe such speculation, glanced at the man in surprise, said hello, and introduced himself as a friend.

There are not a few orcs in the sacrificial academy in total, most of them are sent by other tribes to study, and they tell each other interesting stories about each race, which is also a very interesting thing.

Rhodes studied happily for three years, and on the day of graduation, all the qualified priests would kneel in front of the statue and take an oath, and with the vow, Rod seemed to see a steady stream of white balls of light floating towards the statue, and finally merging into it...... At that moment, he seemed to see the statue clearly, much like the appearance of Master Ace in the textbook...... 166 Reading Network
