- Sophocles (Athenian, one of the three great Athenian tragic writers)
Bai Feng, who wanted to get to know each other well, went to the temple of the druids under the guidance of Gatus, and on the other hand, continued to ask Gatus who led the way:
"Gatus, where did these druids come from, given their important and revered status? I don't think they look like you Tasya tribesmen in their dress and grooming. ”
Hearing Bai Feng ask such a question, Gatus also patiently explained to Bai Feng:
"Your Excellency the Governor, our Tasya tribe is just a little existence in the wilderness, how can anyone become a great druid?
The druids that we ordinary tribes have come to our tribe from Mora, and each druid will return to Mora before he goes to serve the gods, and Mora will send a new druid to the tribe of the previous druid. ”
When Gatus talked about Mora, there was a rare look of yearning on his face, but listening to Bai Feng's ears still made Bai Feng confused, Bai Feng didn't know what Mora was, and he didn't understand whether Mora was a place or a synonym.
"And what the hell is Mora?"
"Mora, that is the holy place that we all yearn for, and it is also the druid's settlement, and all the druids in the wild land come from the sacred Mora, where the druids were born and where the druids serve their gods. ”
Now Bai Feng finally understands what kind of place Mora is, to put it in layman's terms, it is the training base of the druids, in the words of the earth, the druids are equivalent to the Christian priests distributed all over the world, and Mora is the Vatican where the Pope is located.
Although the barbarians living in the wild land have not formed any well-organized forces, the druids they believe in are a very well-organized religion; as long as this druid exists, Bai Feng has no hope of changing the religious beliefs of the Tassia tribe, and in order to maintain the relationship between the Roman city and the Tasia tribe, Bai Feng also decisively gave up this plan in his heart.
After chatting about some druids again, Bai Feng and Gatus went to the druids' residence in the Tasya tribe, which was also the only temple dedicated to the gods in the Tasya tribe.
The temple of the Tassia tribe was one of the tallest buildings in Rome, but the temple of the Tassia tribe was the size of an ordinary house.
However, the majesty of the temple is not only maintained by the height of the building, Bai Feng watched many pious Tasya tribesmen kneeling outside the temple to pray, and knew that the status of this temple in the Tasya tribe was extremely noble.
Yue'er also said before that in addition to extending the life period of the High Priest of Binglan by increasing the number of believers, you can also use a divine object with the power of faith to increase the life of the High Priest of Binglan, will there be such a divine object in the temple of this Tasia tribe?
So, Bai Feng stood on the periphery of the temple and asked Gatus beside him:
"Gatus, how long have your Tasya tribe been living here, and has this temple been worshipped here since your Tasya tribe existed?
When it comes to the Tasya tribe and the druids, Gatus always has a look of pride and pride on his face, and this time is no exception.
"Your Excellency the Governor, our Tasya tribe is a tribe with a history of more than three hundred years, even if our tribe is not as strong as it used to be, no one can deny the glorious history of our Tasya tribe!
The temple built for the Venerable Druids to connect the gods naturally existed when our tribe was founded, and is there anything more important to any of our tribes than the temple for the Venerable Druids?"
With Gatus' answer, Bai Feng also saw a new dawn in his heart, the Tasya tribe has existed for three hundred years, and the Tasya tribe has always had only 10,000 people, and three hundred years is enough time for this temple located in the Tasia tribe to have countless divine objects with the power of faith.
Imagine that the oldest preserved artifact in the temple has been worshiped by 10,000 people for three hundred years, so will the power of faith attached to this artifact be less? Bai Feng felt that this one thing alone was enough to make up for the fifty years of life lost by the High Priest of Binglan!
After forcibly suppressing the excitement in his heart, Bai Feng proposed to Gatus that he wanted to visit this temple, but after a little hesitation, Gatus reluctantly told Bai Feng that he must first ask the druids in the temple.
Respecting the religious beliefs of his allies was a good habit for Bai Feng, so he naturally didn't mind anything about it, and soon, Gatus, who walked into the temple alone, walked out of the temple with one of the druids in the temple and came to Bai Feng's side.
When the druid saw Bai Feng, he said a lot of babbling to Bai Feng with a serious expression, but Bai Feng didn't understand a word, and Gatus, who was following behind the druid, translated to Bai Feng:
"Your Excellency, the Druids mean that you can enter the temple, but you must not touch anything in the temple at will, and you must not be disrespectful to the gods in the temple, otherwise they will refuse to let you enter the temple. ”
"Gatus, you tell this respected druid, I, Bai Feng, am a person who respects the druids and the gods very much, I just want to see the demeanor of the druid temple when I go in, and I will definitely not have the slightest disrespect for the gods!"
After Bai Feng said this compliment, Gatus retold these things to the druid in the same words that Bai Feng did not understand, and after receiving Bai Feng's answer, the druid also nodded contentedly, and then turned back to the temple.
At the signal of Gatus, Bai Feng also followed the druid into the temple, and Bai Sheng and the other three were left outside the temple by Bai Feng;
Sure enough, it is a real temple of gods, and there is more than one god enshrined in it, and on each side of these four gods, there are four relatively small gods, and these eight small gods are miniature versions of the four big gods, and the carvings are all identical gods.
Looking at the traces of time that were difficult to conceal on these gods, Bai Feng's heart was also full of hope, as long as he could find a way to cheat one or two gods from the hands of these druids, then the problem of the life period of the high priest of Binglan would be solved!
