Chapter 23: What is the point of kindness?
I have to say that the queen of the Ice Shooter tribe, Ash, is not very eloquent, maybe Princess Ash is not used to dealing with Augustus and Umun Tuoba who have the nature of interests and politicians, but in the banquet, both Umun Tuoba and Augustus behaved very cooperatively, so on the surface, the guests and hosts were happy, but as for what was going on secretly, only the three parties knew? As for Alista, who was working the side, and other barbarian warriors who didn't seem to have seen a big scene, they could be excluded.
"Princess Ash!" Although they did not approve of Princess Ash's peaceful treatment of the unification of Ferreljord, the tribesmen still had great respect for the leader who had taken the Ice Shooter tribe from ruin to unprecedented glory, and everyone who saw Ash would respectfully call out Princess Ash in a very respectful tone.
He greeted his people with a smile, but he didn't stop walking straight into a building full of Fereljord's iconic qualities, full of depictions that only some old pedants who had studied Ferreljord's ancient characters could read.
This building, which is inscribed with dense writing that even many of the people of Ferreljod could not understand, is not very tall, not to mention that it is not even the residence of Princess Ash compared to the guest house built under the auspices of Princess Ash.
However, this not tall building gives people an indescribable majestic temperament, although many people of Ferreltrud do not understand the special meaning of this building that has existed since three hundred years, but they understand two things, this building lives the high priest of the Ice Shooter Tribe, and one thing is that the current leader of the Ice Shooter tribe, Ash, obtained the Ice Bow of Queen Avarosa, who had ruled Ferreljord more than three hundred years ago, in front of this building. As such, this building symbolizes the rise of the Ice Shooter Tribe.
Instead of showing confidence and grace in front of his clansmen, nor did he show his nobility and elegance in front of Augustus and Umeng Tuoba, Ash at this moment is like an explorer walking on the road of the wizarding world, humble and awe-inspiring. Or even walking on thin ice.
He glanced at the dilapidated but restored statue of Queen Alvarosa and bowed deeply. This sculpture is of great significance to Ash, and it is behind this statue that Ash finds the Ice Bow, and then leads the Ice Archer tribe to rise and become brilliant.
Soon, Ash looked away, and glanced over the stone pillars and utensils engraved with Ferreljord's words, and with respect, humility, and even a hint of fear, he lowered his head slightly to look at the gray sacrificial robe, shaped like a withered tree. An old man who looks like he is going to see God at any time.
The old man sat cross-legged in front of the statue of Queen Alvarosa with his eyes closed, as if listening to the teachings of the patron saint of Ferreljord, not dwelling on earthly things. Raising his head slightly, he glanced at the old man who had rewritten his fate with a single word, there was respect and awe in Ash's eyes, and there was also a trace of hatred that had been let go but could not be erased, and he took a deep breath, and Ashlang said, "High Priest! ”
"You're a lot earlier than I expected?" Ash's voice was not loud, but the High Priest, who looked too old to be sensitive to his ears, heard it, and opened his eyes that were as deep as a vast galaxy. Standing up slowly, he said slowly in a desolate and lonely voice, and the old face engraved with the wind and frost of the world overflowed with a wrinkled smile.
Ash nodded solemnly and said softly, "Ash has encountered a difficult thing. I want to ask the High Priest for answers! ”
The old man smiled slightly, and slowly paced in front of the most noble woman of the Ice Archer tribe, Ash supported the old man, and the old man walked in front of Queen Avarossa, the most magnificent and only sculpture in the building. Coughing lightly, the old man looked up at the statue of Queen Alvarosa and sighed softly, "Three hundred years ago. At the cost of her own happiness, Avarosa united the chaotic old Ferreljord and ushered in the dawn of the Fereljord, who is worthy of being the greatest woman in the history of Ferreljord! ”
Ash didn't answer, she waited for the old man to finish his next words.
The High Priest, who had the most special status in the Ice Archer Tribe, looked at the queen of the Ice Archer tribe and asked softly, "Three hundred years later, how will Ash, who inherited the Ice Bow of Queen Avarosa, face the chaotic Ferreljord?" ”
"A tribe, a people, a Ferreljord! I will inherit the will of Queen Alvarosa and unite Ferreljord once again! Ash said firmly.
The High Priest, who was indistinguishable from Ash's grievances, smiled slightly, stretched out his wrinkled, rough old bark-like hand and gently patted the most noble princess of Ferreljord, and said meaningfully: "Since you have already made up your mind in your heart, why are you asking me? ”
"I don't have an answer to this question, so I'd like to ask the High Priest to use astrology to find out if Augustus and Umon Tuoba are a threat to Ferreljord?" Ash didn't stop there, but chose to ask in a more direct way.
If Augustus were here at this moment, his jaw would have dropped. Astrology, this magic that only astrologers can use.
There are almost very few astrologers on the continent, and almost all of them serve the Valoran Continental Empire! For example, General Burnham has three astrologers of the level of the Magi, there are three of Gavin III of the Demacian Empire, and the emperor of the Ionian Empire on an island on the continent of Valoran even has six astrologers of the level of the Magi.
Able to capture the trajectory of fate? Doesn't that indirectly indicate that the high priest of the Ice Archer tribe is a high priest with the strength of a magical sage?
There are many different types of magic systems, and there are countless branches of magic! But the most obscure and the most invisible end to the wizarding world is necromancy. Necromancy is a dark group of necromancers who are hunted down by people who believe in light, and devote themselves to the dark magic of death and decay as human beings, in order to gain power from death, the largest Damorik death sword on the head of human beings, and the ultimate meaning is to obtain "eternal life".
The Necromancer is a heretic among magicians who tirelessly pursues the path of magic without giving up their power to contend with the outside world. In other words, they practice magic for fighting! Unlike other magicians who are struggling to walk in solitude on the path of magic.
And what about astrology? However, they are the only solitary spells in the magical system that are considered to be as elusive as the dirty but obscure necromancy, and astrologers are known as the "wheel of fortune" and shrouded in a dense fog more than necromancers.
A small tribe of ice archers actually has a powerful astrologer at the level of a magical sage, and if this news spreads on the Valoran continent, I am afraid that other empires on the continent will take a second look at the country that has been divided for three hundred years.
Facing the Ice Sagittarius Queen's frank inquiry, the High Priest smiled slightly, looked at Ash with a resolute face, and sighed softly: "I'm sorry, I can't help you, an astrologer can only capture the trajectory of fate for one or two people at most in his life, and I have already chosen you, so I have no ability to help you capture others!" ”
Somewhat disappointed, Ash took a deep look at the high priest who was indifferent to watching his mother's tragic death, but who fought for him for the imperial power of the Ice Shooter tribe but did not enjoy the glory, practicing alone in a secluded corner of the Ice Shooter tribe, cutting off all glory and willing to be the companion of poverty, Ash sighed softly, although he didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit that the old man in front of him had dedicated his whole life to the cause of unifying Ferreljord.
Ignoring Ash's slightly complicated eyes, the old man looked at Ash and said slowly: "Ash, in the face of Ferreljord, who is about to be unified, what do you say about kindness??" ”
Ash's delicate body trembled, and he raised his eyes to stare at the high priest, whose expression was calm and serene, as if he was talking to himself and as if he was stating to Ash, and muttered, "Kindness? What is the use of this for the soon-to-be-unifying Ferreljord? All I saw was a heavy and breathless burden! ”
Silence, silence for a long time, Ash slowly raised her head, looking at the old man who was staggering and standing, because of his hunchback, he was much shorter than herself, but it made her feel incomparable, she bowed to the old man sincerely for the first time, and said, "I understand, High Priest Midos Phaydon!" ”
Immediately, Ash walked away with firm steps.
Looking at Ash, who had already realized his own understanding, the old man, who was called the High Priest of Midos Phayton, showed a bright smile on his face that had not appeared for decades, looked up at the huge statue of Queen Avarosa four meters high, opened his arms, and said in an unprecedented deep voice: "Where are the gods in Ferreljord?" There is never a need for gods, and if you really need a patronus, one Ash is enough! Isn't it? Avarosa! ”
This is a sentence that has been passed out enough to be unanimously voted by the inhabitants of the Ice Archer Tribe, the Winterclaw Tribe, and the Ascetic Tribe to sacrifice to the gods, and even the radicals will end up with the glorious high priest the next moment they hear this sentence.
Any tribe needs a god, just like the barbarians believe in the god of war, Noxus believes in the gods, and a nation without faith will never become strong, this is a recognized sentence in the Valoran continent!
It's just that this old man, who has dedicated his life to the unification of Ferreljord, said such a much-criticized remark before he died!
Ferreljord doesn't need a god, one Ash is enough! What does this mean?
