The goddess of agriculture is a very special being among the gods. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

First of all, she is the daughter of Mother Earth, and her identity in the nature god system is special, and because the powerful gods of the nature god system have basically fallen or detached, so the entire nature god system is currently dominated by the goddess of the forest and the goddess of agriculture. The Goddess of the Forest is the daughter of the Father of the Oak Tree, the Goddess of Springs and Peace is her sister (but serves the Goddess of Agriculture), and the aforementioned Goddess of Unicorns is her mount in battle. The status of the nature gods has always been maintained by the goddess of the forest and the rangers, and even if she is currently only a medium god, no enemy with strong divine power will dare to ignore her.

For part of the power of the Father of the Oak has been inherited by his daughter, the goddess of the forest, Merrikai.

The other part of the nature deity system is made up of the goddess of agriculture, who represents the peaceful coexistence of nature and intelligent beings, and of course the relationship between humans and nature. The existence of agriculture balances the plundering and destruction of the natural world by humans, and the teachings of the goddess of agriculture are not entirely biased towards humans, and she can win the love of the druids because she hopes to reduce the demand of human beings for nature through the development of agriculture. If agriculture could meet most of the basic needs, then human destruction of nature and forests would be much less. This is true at the moment, because where the goddess of agriculture has a wide influence, agriculture is a little more developed, and people have less of a need for forests and nature, and more of a wealth is created from the land.

Half of the goddess of agriculture belongs to the line of natural gods, and the other half belongs to the family of human gods.

Because of the relationship between the Mother Earth and the Lord of Light, her existence is a relatively special one, although the combat power is not clear at present, but no one will easily provoke the gods.

Sauron needs her support.

Because both the Mother Earth and the Lord of Light are golden thighs with powerful divine powers, and the Mother Earth is still asleep, but this ancient god may wake up at any time, and its strength cannot be ignored at all.

Southern Duchy.

It's a fertile land close to the south coast, with more fertile land than Amber and White Horse.

The entire southern principality is crossed by two rivers, and the goddess of agriculture is the dominant deity of the land, while her deities include the goddess of springs and peace, the goddess of rivers, the goddess of sprouts, and many more. These deities originally served Mother Earth, and then followed the new goddess of agriculture after Mother Earth went into seclusion.

Many huge barns can be seen in the territory of the goddess of agriculture.

This is the largest grain producing area in the entire material plane, and almost 70% of the grain trade in the south is provided by here. Followers and priests of the goddess of agriculture built large barns to store food, and hoarded more grain than any kingdom on the road. However, although she is a god of the good camp, the goddess of agriculture also has her own limitations, that is, she does not have much ability to mobilize the food here, she can control the resources in the church, but the wealth in the hands of the believers is not allocated by her, so even if there are many displaced people in various places, the goddess of agriculture has no spare power to help. This is in contrast to Sauron's control of the city of Mordor, which is dominated by secular powers in the southern principalities, lords of the manor, nobles, and chambers of commerce, who are willing to serve and worship the goddess of agriculture, but if they are allowed to use their accumulated wealth to help others, these people may all turn their faces in a matter of minutes.

But.

Even so, the number of displaced people in the southern principalities was the smallest, and the nobles formed an army to guard against evil creatures and those who entered the fertile land.

Farming in the entire southern principality is unmatched by the overseas archipelago, where almost every town and village has an altar and shrine to the goddess of agriculture, and a grand harvest festival is held here after each harvest.

Sauron's destination is the City of Harvest.

A city sheltered by the goddess of agriculture should also be the most beautiful city on the material plane.

It's a garden-like city, and before Sauron got close, he saw a lot of beautiful manors, almost all of which were planted with a lot of flowers and plants, which looked like retro futuristic urban greenery, but much more harmonious and beautiful. This is where the true devotees of the goddess of agriculture are, known as "shepherds", most of them gardeners, farmers and druids, who seek a balance between nature and agriculture, and who love nature despite their service orders for farming. The biggest difference in this city is that not all fertile land is converted into farmland, and along the way, Sauron sees many fields that are obviously very fertile but have been transformed into beautiful gardens by these people.

I have to say.

The goddess of agriculture has indeed created a dreamlike garden city on the physical plane.

Sauron strolled along the wide, well-paved avenue.

He was observing the entire Harvest City, and he was also observing through these the most real thoughts of the goddess of agriculture, as if it were the order, rules, and promises of the city of Modo, which was the true thoughts of Sauron, so it extended to the interior of the city of Modo. It is difficult for those who ignore order in the city of Modo to survive, and this is the influence of the gods on the world.

The city also represents the idea of the goddess of agriculture.

Because the gods have their own essential thoughts, and the first feedback of this thought is the core territory of the church.

"It seems that the goddess of agriculture is very much in favor of the balance between nature and agriculture."

Sauron watched all this silently, and could feel the peace and tranquility of the goddess of agriculture, she did not want to turn her back on nature, but she could not bear to be hostile to humans, so she tried to act as a balancer among them.

This land retains the beauty of nature.

Unlike the rest of the southern principalities, where most of the fertile land has been converted into farmland as much as possible, there are dense and beautiful forests, small but elaborate gardens, barns erected next to the villages, and dug rivers and streams in the distance.

It's a beautiful land.

In a way, it was more beautiful than Modor City, but Sauron felt that it was a little unreal, especially in the back of the Sage's Havoc, after seeing the ruined Amber City and the ruined White Horse City, he felt more and more like a castle in the sky.

The village ahead is crowded with people.

Sauron approached like a traveler and observed the bustle.

These people are having a wedding.

Weddings are celebrated on a freshly plowed piece of land, a very old tradition that has been maintained since Mother Earth.

Some devout believers will hold a wedding on the freshly plowed land, and then the newlyweds will spend their first night here in the evening, an ancient tradition that has been passed down for thousands of years, as it allows them to receive the blessings of Mother Earth and multiply their offspring.

The Church of the Goddess of Agriculture still maintains this ancient tradition.

The wedding is presided over by a priest and held by the field, and when night falls, the newlyweds make their beds on the freshly plowed ground, where they spend their first night to receive the blessings of Mother Earth.

Nature and Humans.

This is a difficult problem to reconcile, the original conflict between the Mother Earth and the Father of the Oak Tree is because the Mother Earth turned her preference to humans and began to shelter farming, which led to a cold relationship between the two powerful gods. Even a group of believers who eventually served Mother Earth, the Druids who revered wilderness and nature called the True Shapers, began to turn to other gods of the nature gods.

Presently.

These Shapeforms serve the goddess of the forest.

Sauron's arrival could not hide the arrival of the goddess of agriculture, so when he entered the harvest city, the main temple located in the center of the city immediately sent a large number of priests, because the church of the goddess of agriculture has many maternal, fertile and feminine characteristics, so most of the priests are female members, they welcome Sauron's arrival in groups, sprinkle fragrant petals on both sides of the flowers, and then welcome Sauron all the way to the temple.

Anyway.

The visit of a true God is significant, and these pastors use the greatest welcome ceremony.

The temple of the goddess of agriculture is like a beautiful hanging garden, and even the first time I saw it as the true god Sauron, I couldn't help but be shocked, because everything in front of me really looked like the legendary ancient Babylonian hanging garden.

The entire temple is shrouded in the beauty of humanity and nature, and the two balance and complement each other, supporting everything in front of you as if it were a dreamlike kingdom. There are a large number of believers here, and each believer's face is filled with a smile of happiness and reverence, and it can be seen that their life is good, because the inhabitants of Modo City only have a proud smile on their faces, and there is no such calm and happy smile.

Sauron was invited all the way to the deepest part of the temple.

There was a beautiful priest with great grace waiting for him, who then led Sauron into a private realm.

This is a half-plane.

A beautiful half-plane attached to the temple looked like a huge garden, in which countless exotic flowers and plants bloomed, and in front of a delicate vine rocking chair, the goddess of agriculture sat quietly in a long white dress and watched Sauron's arrival.

"Welcome to my kingdom."

The goddess of agriculture stood up and walked away, she came to Sauron's front and gently twisted the corners of her skirt, then bowed her head slightly, and smiled: "I don't know how Lord Sauron feels when you see it along the way?" ”

She had long been aware of Sauron's visit.

Sauron bowed slightly, then dragged the hand of the goddess of agriculture with his palm, leaned over and kissed the back of his hand gently, but it was only a kissing posture, and he did not really touch the other party. Since the goddess of agriculture used the ancient lady etiquette, then he naturally responded to the ancient chivalric etiquette, this ritual kissing the back of the hand is just a symbol, and the most orthodox ritual is to never touch the woman's skin, because it is very rude.

Of course.

This kind of etiquette has evolved to the point where it is really kissed.

Sauron raised his head to meet the gaze of the goddess of agriculture and said calmly, "It's beautiful. Naturally. But it's also unreal. ”

Hearing Sauron's words, the goddess of agriculture instantly changed her face.
