Chapter 1154: Pilgrimage
Eudora's physical strength is not bad, but she still sweats on her forehead after climbing up all the way. Hundreds of steps are neatly aligned, the stone is crystal clear, and there are traces of spell polishing on them.
As she climbed up, she observed a lot of details: the altar was fully constructed and even had a drainage system, and it was not completely "solid", but there were many hollow areas inside, and there were many hidden rooms.
In other words, this is not only a place of worship, but also a place of daily life for guards and priests. At the same time, it has been integrated into an extremely powerful "fortress" - if you stand here and use long-range weapons, the range is much farther than standing on the city wall.
This is also an "occupational disease" that Udora has fought a lot of, but compared to the previous Marhalla Temple, it feels significantly more solemn and sacred, especially when standing at the top of the current area and looking back, Eudora finds that she can easily see the entire outer city, and even the endless villages and farmlands by the river outside the city...
It's completely different from standing on the top of a hill or a high slope, because everything under your feet is made of stones, and the regular architectural style reflects an indescribable sense of order.
"Priestess Eudora, huh? β
The sudden sound made Udora turn her head, and then she realized that today's "guard" was actually a firstborn two-horned dragon, who walked directly inside after speaking, and Eudora hurriedly followed.
The "top layer" 100 meters above the ground can only be regarded as the "pedestal" that has just been completed. The circular area is thousands of square meters, and the traces of stone stacking can be seen in the front and back, left and right, and there are many dragons standing here today, and they are gathering together to discuss something, Eudora can't understand the dragon language, but from their gestures, it can be seen that these guys are discussing the follow-up construction.
When Eudora arrived at the center, she saw Roddy talking to Sally and Lord Victor, and at the same time let three pit vipers appear next to her, looking like they were posing for something.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister. β
Eudora bowed, and before she was halfway done, she heard Roddy say, "Let's talk about it directly, by the wayβAlva, say hello to Iskar and them for me when I go back." β
"Yes, yes, I'll bring them your greetings. β
Alva, who brought Eudora up, blinked deliberately as she spoke, and then saluted her father Victor, "Father, I'll go first." β
Victor nodded, not saying anything.
The dragons have begun to evacuate one after another, Alva is preparing to return to the Karen Kingdom today, and just came over to say hello before leaving, and Roddy is worried about Kardashian, but it is not good to mention it directly in front of Victor and Sally, so he can only use Iskar and others as a cover.
But in fact, everyone knew what was going on, so after Alva left, only Eudora was left in the dark and did not dare to ask more, she whispered a report on the recent situation in the outer city, as well as some of the conflicts that occurred and the results of the handling.
"Well done, the temple is fully completed in three days, and the safety of the people during the ceremony is your priority. Because the altar and temple are very high, ordinary people don't have to come to the temple area to see it, so you can divide enough viewing areas. β
Eudora had doubts in her heart, but she still bowed her head and responded: "Yes... Your Excellency Prime Minister. β
"It's okay, if you have a question, you can raise it now. β
Luo Di saw that she was about to speak and stopped, and asked, "If there is a problem in the outer city, I will send someone to help you solve it." β
"Ahh No, Prime Minister, I'm just curious - why is the temple built on such a high place?"
After hearing this, Luo Di raised his hand and pointed in the distance: "What are you standing here, looking at those people in the distance?"
Eudora turned her head to take a closer look, the figures on the streets of the outer city moved slowly, extremely small, and she replied hesitantly: "Like... Ant. β
"Yes, the gods see us as well. Standing here is not to look down, but to understand your own insignificance. β
Eudora, whose mouth was wide open for a long time, suddenly bowed and bowed.
As she descended the steps, Roddy turned to Victor and continued: "So I hope that the overall building will be as grand and tall as possible, so that the pressure on the common people will become their thirst for faith, and most of all the magnificent buildings in history are related to religion, and the root cause is actually the same." β
"Well, this problem has also been studied by the dragon clan, and even the dragon clan itself is one of the practitioners - if you have the opportunity to take you to the lair of the various dragon clans to see it at a glance, whether it is for the 'dragon god' or other high-level existence, this kind of worship has often become the main reason for the cohesion or division of a race for thousands of years. β
Victor agreed, looking up at Hovera above his head, and continued, "Kardashian has already told me the recipe for the cement, but with the way the metal and 'cement' are poured, I think there will be no problem in building a direct passage to Hovera. β
Two hundred meters above them was the base of Hovila City, and the silver mirrored part looked fantastic.
"The whole is about 200 meters high, and in the future, this part of the temple base can be opened to the general public, and this place can be proclaimed as a 'holy place' - and then find some people who live far away to come here for a 'pilgrimage', and by the way, to the people along the way to preach the grandeur and grandeur of the 'holy place', so that the 'pilgrimage' will gradually become a norm, and there is no harm in the promotion of faith. β
"Is that really the case?"
Sally didn't quite believe it, after all, she hadn't experienced anything like this. The "Rosace Cross" and the "Pit Viper Cross" only preached the existence of some "holy relics", but never preached the so-called "holy places" and engaged in any "pilgrimage".
But Victor nodded meaningfully: "The more ignorant you are, the more you will put your hopes on ethereal sustenance, there is nothing wrong with what Prime Minister Roddy said, the high elves have done similar things in the past, and some other races have similar records." β
In fact, the purpose of this is clear to everyone: Luo Di's "Divine Domain Control" needs the support of a large number of people's faith, and the Dragon Clan is now spending so much effort to help with the construction just so that he can control more "faith power".
Now that Roddy and Sally are truly the highest-level "Great Killers", as long as that remains the same, the Dragons must support his "Faith Expansion" plan.
"Is three days enough to build?"
Sally glanced around at the dragons who were dividing the area, "... It took nearly a week to build this 'foundation' before, and now it has to be extended nearly a hundred meters upwards in three days? Is it a temporary structure aided by spells?"
"No, it's a new way of building, using new building materials, and then Your Majesty only needs to stand on it and look down on the believers. β
"How do I feel... You don't think you're planning to build more than just a temple?"
Sally raised her eyebrows: "A hundred-meter-high building, if it can be easily built, then the city wall..."
She was suddenly stunned and looked at Victor and Roddy: "So, this is still used to defend against the enemy?"
"All our preparations are for war with the enemy... But if I can, I want to attack, not defend. Roddy said and turned to Victor, "So... Lord, what's going on over there in Kazwila?"
