Chapter 1219: Labyrinth Treasure (19)
"And the key question is," I asked, "how did you know about this?" ”
"Does this need an explanation?" The apparition is rightly said, "It was the Mother Goddess herself who said it before she fell!" ”
My heart moved: "Have you seen her?" ”
The apparition said, "Oh yes, you haven't seen the god with your own eyes, we are different, any believer who is devout enough can see him, although not in person, I saw her in a dream during the coming-of-age ceremony, and a few years later, when I became the chief of the largest tribe of the Minotaurs, I saw her at the sacrificial ceremony, and it was at that time that she suddenly told me that she had been invaded by the evil gods!" She told me to keep quiet, but it was better to unite all the orc tribes on the grassland, so that there would be hope for the fight against the evil gods, but I didn't expect that when I became a demigod, the evil gods would complete the replacement in advance with the help of the human evil gods......"
The aura of conspiracy spreads, and the treacherous ancient god war has a hint of insidious and cunning, and I can't help but recall many myths and legends.
"Then again, it's not really hard what you have to do." The phantom's face suddenly relaxed, "The curse of the old gods has sealed the new gods, they will definitely not be able to come out, as long as there is no strong person on the earth who can threaten you, you will have the opportunity to cut off the source of faith of the evil god!" Haha, these greedy new gods would never have thought that they would be trapped to death by the power of faith! ”
"It's not that easy," I said, "and the belief in God is so deep-rooted that it will take hundreds of years to break it off at the earliest." ”
"Why, did your lifespan shorten after your energy was depleted?" The Phantom was a little surprised.
"It's not hard to live for a hundred or two years," I said, "and the elves are even longer, I mean, I don't think I'll be able to complete it until I'm old, or even the next generation." ”
"That's fine!" "At least, the orcs should not continue to be deceived and enslaved!" ”
"Of course, some people have realized this," I suddenly remembered the High Priest Dragonal, "and, for two thousand years, there have been many people who have understood, but they are not strong enough to have the time and opportunity for all the orcs to understand this, but I am convinced that I can do it." ”
"Well, in that case, I'll be a little relieved," said the phantom, "anyway, there's no way to worry about it, isn't it?" ”
"You don't say this like the first emperor of the orc race," I said with a smile, "You know, even if the evil god replaced the real Mother Earth Goddess, it didn't discredit your history, at least, most of all the orcs and other races thought that you were the greatest leader of the orcs ever, and besides, you died at the hands of the combined forces of humans and elves, not at the hands of the mother god's doppelganger." ”
"Hehe, the first emperor?" Phantom smiled bitterly, "The title of Emperor was also passed down from the human side, and it was created by those evil gods that humans believed in, I didn't want to use it, but at that time, in order to deter those human armies who were about to move, I took out this title to scare and scare them, of course, the number of orcs is still not comparable to that of humans." ”
"What was the population of orcs back then?" I asked.
"Probably, more than half a million ......," the phantom thought for a moment and said, "That's all there is to go to war." ”
"I mean, plus the weaker races." I said, "They're one of the orcs, aren't they?" ”
"Well, in that case, at least a million." The apparition said, "And now? ”
"More than five million." I say.
"That's right......," said the Phantom after a moment's silence, "not bad." ”
"The question is how many humans are there?" I asked.
"That's 80 million!" The phantom was a little proud, "But, being held out of the grassland by half a million orcs!" ”
I forced a smile and said, "There are now more than five million orcs and more than a billion humans on the grassland. ”
The phantom was stunned for a moment, and then he muttered to himself, "So many...... If it weren't for the pact between the evil gods, I'm afraid it would have been fought a long time ago, right? The talent of madness is limited by that evil god, and the strength of the orcs is greatly reduced......"
I said, "The contract may be one of the reasons, but there are many gods in humans, and it is estimated that they are not much stronger when evenly divided, and besides, human gods, like humans, are not as united as orcs." ”
That being said, I know that orcs are not monolithic, it's just that human infighting is too powerful, even if I haven't seen it with my own eyes, just the records in the book and the history of the earth told by Leo know how good human beings are at internal friction.
"Well, that's probably the reason," the phantom nodded slowly, "how can these sinister and cunning guys develop in peace?" You must be thinking about how to annex each other, and you don't have time to patronize the orcs, but even if you do, you're in a bad situation. ”
"Now I have some understanding of what is going on on earth, but I don't know what the gods in heaven are planning." I said, "When they take care of the heavenly affairs, the earth will probably suffer, and before their energy runs out, they will beat like a school of fish in a pond that is about to dry up." ”
"These insanely cunning gods only think about making that person strong as quickly as possible, and don't think about the long-term future at all," said the Phantom, "and it was decided at the beginning of their birth. ”
"I'm a little curious," I said, "what kind of curse did the true Mother Earth Goddess, and Jumiwin and the other old gods make?" It should be very complicated for such a powerful curse to seal the new gods in the divine realm, right? ”
"Then I don't know," the phantom spread his hands frankly, "that's a matter of the gods, anyway, the gods are powerful and knowledgeable compared to mortals, mortals can't understand even the slightest detail of their wisdom, you just need to know that their goals are wrong and short-sighted, that's enough." ”
"Well," I said, "if you say that, wouldn't it be better to wait for them to be trapped and die at last?" I have to speed up the process, though. ”
"My descendants should always have such courage!" The phantom said, "By the way, I don't know your name yet, what generation are you?" ”
"Uh......" I was stunned for a moment, "I really don't know, your descendants have hidden surnames, such as me, my name is Bijon Bloodhammer Doon, and our family name is Doon." ”
"Really?" Phantom was a little disappointed, "I thought you would...... But yes, with the name of Minotaur will attract you a secret threat, no, why don't you have a legendary title? Bloodhammer is just your coming of age, right? ”
I said, "Well, I did defeat a few legendary powerhouses, but in order to hide my strength, I didn't show all of myself, so I'm not officially a legendary powerhouse yet." ”
"Well, the people of your time are too weak, so it's good for you to disguise it properly." Phantom said.
"By the way, I'm still a little curious, who killed the true god of Orah and the true god of Carthus?" What about me, me.
"The mother goddess doesn't bother to do it, it's the evil god who replaces her to do it." "But at that time, the Mother Goddess hadn't been attacked yet, and the Centaure had become less and less common in the days I had grown up. ”
"That's right......" I thought of the centaurs of the wasteland plane.
"Don't forget, he only knows part of the truth of his time, the gods are thousands of years or even more old, and what happened two thousand years ago is only the result of a concentrated explosion of many contradictions," Leo said, "and it is not so easy for you to ask all the questions at once." ”
"Ask wherever you want......" I said.
"I have a series of problems here." Leo said, "You're done?" That's my turn! ”
"Okay." I say.
"What are you hesitating about?" Seeing that I didn't continue talking, the phantom asked.
"Well, I was a little excited, and the questions I asked were a bit confusing," I said, "and I wanted to get to know you about your time." ”
"Okay, okay, I shouldn't have disappeared into the world with these memories anyway, it's good that you can write these things down." Phantom said.
"So, here I go," I said, "the first question, what exactly is your own profession?" Warriors, shamans, or something else? ”
The Phantom did not hesitate: "I am a warrior, a warrior who fights for the Mother Earth goddess and her people, but I happen to know a little bit of shamanic and shamanic skills, and I have also presided over the greatest sacrifices. ”
"Second, what is the level of strength of your peers? How many legends or demigods are there, and how many civilians can awaken? ”
"Well, legendary? There are large tribes of each clan, and if you are a demigod, it is only me and the old priest of the clan, as well as Noliki of the Elephant Clan, Hantel of the Wolf Clan, Wall of the Lion Clan, and Feitel of the Tiger Clan......" The Phantom thought for a moment and said, "You seem to have said that the four of them seem to have become gods later?" ”
I immediately thought of the four statues in the temple of the city of Animo.
