Chapter 971: History of Miracles on the Mainland
The two teams of seventeen people in total took an hour to climb out of the cave completely. The people who escaped breathed the cold and fresh air, and one by one they sat on the ground and shouted for joy.
Panda's face was not very good, as he quickly checked the scene of the cliff collapse and found that the men left outside had either been killed or buried directly in the canyon... The Ice Fist Mercenary Group also suffered heavy losses for this, and Captain DeWitt found the corpses of the three wood elves left here, and angrily scolded: "These sons of bitches raised garbage!
He had forgotten what he had done with Nata, and viciously nailed his sword to the ground, even kicking the corpse on the ground.
Roddy and the others didn't have this kind of deep hatred, Iskar was pulling the big burden he was carrying from the cave, and at the same time gently rubbing the edge of the passage with his hand imperceptibly - except for him, in fact, every dragon who had just climbed through the passage made similar movements, because they were all curious about what the "miracle" that was really unfolding in front of them was.
Leaving the cavern means that the magical agreement that has just been reached within the ruins is automatically terminated. Therefore, Kardashian, as the head of the group, consciously led everyone to a place more than ten meters away to rest. Panda and the others were also busy checking the team's losses and collecting the remains of their companions, so they didn't care about continuing to communicate about what to do next.
Taking advantage of this time, Roddy took the opportunity to drink water and asked in a low voice, "I know that the gods show power, but is it too much to respond to a certain believer to such a point?"
Iskar sat on the ground with his back to Panda and the others, eating jerky, and replied softly: "Yes, but it was an extremely long time. ”
"In the past, there were not only races on the continent, but there were also various dominant beings before the high elves, such as dwarves who were more ancient, or a kind of 'giant' that was similar to humans but much larger. ”
Roddy had only heard of it, and it was a "chronicle" in the original Rip game brochure. But since there are almost no of these races in the game, Roddy didn't search for more information. He probably remembered that the history of intelligent civilization in the entire continent was only more than 3,000 years, and it was not that there was nothing before that, but that the information had completely disappeared. If there is, then it is estimated that only the dragons still remember.
"Roddy, do you think that the so-called 'miracle' is the kind that Sally showed on the magic tower?" Stica, spinning a dry tree trunk between his fingers, whispered, "That's just because the 'artifact' has the power of a god, and it is not the same as the one that is actually performed by the gods." ”
"Lord Morars—oh no, the former lord should be said—once gave us a lecture in the forest about a 'miracle' in an underground city left behind by the dwarves. ”
His words made several dragons next to him look over. Seeing that the audience was serious, Stica continued: "The dwarves used stone reliefs to record some of the 'miracles' of the 'megalithic gods' they believed in at the beginning, including stories such as a giant sculpture appearing overnight, and being directly defeated by divine power in the face of monsters. ”
"Actually, not to mention the dwarves, in the early days of the high elves, all kinds of gods showed a lot of miracles. Not to mention digging a hole, some even dominated the situation of the war and directly defeated the enemy with divine power. ”
This was Essien's addition, and Kardashian drew a line on the ground with her staff: "Later, it should be during the period of the High Elf civilization, the number and records of such miracles suddenly decreased a lot, that is, from that time on, all kinds of religions began to die out gradually. By the end it was almost completely gone. ”
The history of miracles in the continent is not something that everyone can talk about, and in this world where information is closed and the means of preservation are low, although the dragons' records of information are not so reliable, they can also be called one of the few sources with "credibility". Several dragons discussed in a low voice, but it gave Roddy an "overview" of what various "gods" were doing.
He and Kardashian were the only ones in the group who had ever faced and communicated with the true God. But Corseus was only one of many gods, and his words did not represent the truth. What exactly Stellian, the "moon god", wanted to do, Roddy couldn't figure out through Corseus's way of thinking.
"And what about the 'divine punishment' that Iskar said earlier?"
"It's a punishment for those who slander the gods, and some members of the dragon clan have suffered once, and the result is that they are seriously injured, and they can barely recover after years of cultivation. This should still be the result of the other party's saving face. ”
Rubens pinched the snow on the ground into a snowball and rubbed it in his hands boringly: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, this is still an elder of our Black Dragon Clan." However, he had already returned to the arms of the dragon god, and in the end, he didn't tell anyone what it was like. ”
On one side they whispered about the gods, while on the other hand, after barely gathering the corpses, the mercenaries decided to bury them on the spot. After all, the environment of the Jingyu Forest is treacherous, and walking with the corpse is undoubtedly asking for trouble for yourself. Louis cast a spell to dig a deep pit in the ground for burial, and then buried the body with a spell—after which Panda, as priest, presided over a brief funeral, reciting prayers for the mercenaries and their companions from the Congregation to rest.
The palm holding the necklace raised slightly, and the silver light like a substance also splashed out, falling behind the piled tombs, and gradually disappearing into the dirt.
Devitt and the others had witnessed so many miracles with their own eyes, and at this time they finally understood that the priest in front of them was by no means the "magic sticks" they had heard of in the past. So he took the lead and knelt down on one knee and said in a low voice, "The Ice Fist Mercenary Group thanks the Priestess for saving his life. When we return, we'll tell everyone what you've done today..."
"May the moonlight always protect you. ”
Panda nodded in thanks, and Devit even asked if there were any restrictions on joining the Cult of the Luna - it was an obvious sign of the cult of the Luna. With the exception of the two Elementalists, the other mercenaries have expressed their willingness to join the "Cult of the Luna" in order to pray for Strian's protection.
Panda, the priest of today, is a far cry from the arcanist who agonized a few days ago in ago. As the miracle unfolded, he also heard a voice from the distant sky in his head. This made him completely abandon his former arcane knowledge in his heart, and completely serve the omnipotent moon god.
"You can do it whenever you want. ”
This picture is not surprising to Luo Di and others, "faith" is a kind of blind obedience to "unknown forces" for most people. After Panda set up his team, he walked over to greet him very calmly: "Captain Julia, we have successfully escaped from the predicament, and the contract is completed. To tell you the truth, according to the original plan, we planned to settle accounts with the Wood Elf Village. But now that the losses are heavy, whether or not you can get out of the forest safely depends on luck. ”
"If I can, I'd like to be able to hire your team, and after the two teams merge, it's safer to travel in the forest together, I wonder if Captain Julia is willing to agree?"
