Chapter 683: Atheism
"It's kind of like that..."
Roddy's eyes narrowed, he was almost certain that the other party had no good intentions towards him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but in order to confirm his judgment, he still quickly turned and ran, and soon climbed a tall building. After glancing at the neighborhood below, and after several leaps and sprints, he finally found the carriage and the coachman who had almost hit Doreth in a remote neighborhood - strangely, the coachman was sleeping on his seat.
He woke up the other party, but saw this man looking at him in confusion: "Well, who are you, what are you going to do?"
"You almost hit me just now, do you want to pay the bill?"
"Don't be kidding! I've been sleeping here, where are I going to hit you!?"
The coachman wiped a handful of saliva from his mouth, looking like he didn't know Roddy at all.
Although Luo Di can't take a lie detector, he can also know how to test, he changed several questions in a row, and found that the other party gave the answer very firmly, so he confirmed his inner thoughts, and finally apologized and said "I recognized the wrong person", and turned to leave.
"I'm really looking for trouble..."
At this point, he certainly understood that the Tukh woman seemed to be planning to "fish".
But what does the other party want from this? money, resources? Anyway, it's definitely not "beauty".
Luo Di didn't quite understand, but now that he has the initiative, the other party will show his feet sooner or later, and he will just wait and see when the time comes.
Turning the corner and walking down another street, he continued to pretend to be an "upstart" with two gold coins in his hand, bought lunch with a shout, and then returned to the laboratory step by step.
"Only by mastering the truth can we master everything! The so-called 'gods' are illusory liars! Only the most ignorant fools think that their fate is in the hands of the gods—"
"You are you! Your future can only be created by yourself!"
"A god is just a painted pie! Without your own efforts, you can only starve to death!"
Akasha and Nefi stumbled upon a street with a very different style, not only were the floor tiles different from the rest of Rasiman, but even the tall building in front of them was clearly not in the style of Rasiman mages.
Not only that, but you can always hear a sermon similar to that given by the priest of the Kingdom of Karon in the square. However, listening carefully, the content of these words made the two of them grow their mouths in surprise...
"It's... What do you mean? Tell people not to believe in gods?"
"I think so. ”
Akasha frowned and listened for a long time, and found that these people were emphasizing one important point: people who can really think should not pin their hopes on ethereal gods.
If you want to talk about "god worship", the kingdom of Karen really abounds. In addition to the "Rosace Cross" and "Pit Viper Cross", there have been various gods throughout history, such as the goddess of hunting, the goddess of wisdom, the sun god and anything in between. Because the people at the bottom have no faith sustenance in addition to work, if someone gives a little guidance and engages in a few rituals such as "gods and spirits", a large number of people will immediately respond to the church.
While there are many sects, Akasha has really never seen an "atheist" religion. She couldn't imagine that there would be a sect in this world that regarded "there is no god in this world" as a "god", and she couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous, but after listening carefully, she felt that what these people said was not unreasonable—at least according to her current life experience, everything she had at the moment was obtained by her own efforts, and it had nothing to do with any god.
Even if it is a "magic technique" used on the battlefield, it is a realm that you have achieved by painstakingly honing it. To get to this day, Akasha has definitely endured no less hardships than meditating mages.
She and Neffie walked along the "wrong style" street for a moment, and only then did they figure out what kind of place it was from the inscriptions on the surrounding walls...
To put it bluntly, this is how Master Rasiman "remembers" the previous ruler.
Because the city of Durrell was built after the founding of the mage, it stands to reason that there can be no trace of a "church" in the whole city, but the tall buildings that appear here are all genuine churches!
The entire neighborhood, from the supplies to the floor, brick by brick, was taken by spell from the "holy city" ruled by the Church. They were moved here and rebuilt, eventually making the entire neighborhood the same as it had been when the "Church" ruled Rasiman before.
Obviously, the mages know better how to make the people remember history.
Now the devout believers have been replaced by an "atheist" populace, and the priests who preach the doctrine have become mages – and all this has clearly made the people always remember the suffering that the "Church" brought to the country.
Walking further along the block, the two of them read the words written in front of each building as if they were looking at an exhibition hall, which recorded the number of persecutors of the church and the names of the mages who died in the rebellion against the church. Behind the cold words is a bloody history, and Akasha and Nefi feel a little heavy after reading it.
As she walked to the front of the church, Akasha grabbed a free copy of the "atheism" pamphlets—the papyrus used was obviously of the worst quality, and it was even a bit awkward to the touch, but it was interesting. She reached out and stroked the centuries-old sculpture, but suddenly felt that the pattern on it was somewhat familiar...
Pit vipers?
Frowning and observing for a long time, Akasha felt more and more that this was similar to the pattern in the "Pit Viper Cross" church. But now the sculptures are more vivid and the content is more complex. The "pit viper" seems to be just one element of it—Akasha sees three pit vipers surrounding a female figure, presumably a deity, as she is taller than the others and has decorative stripes around her that symbolize light.
Similar sculptures abound, and Akasha is not an archaeologist, so she is naturally not interested in studying them all, so after a few brief glances, she and Naifi turned away. However, as she walked to the square in front of the church, a strange sensation made her turn her head sharply.
"Sister Akasha, what's wrong?"
Nephie glanced curiously, and she noticed a few doorways—the church wasn't a dead thing, and it had a dull sheen of its own. And the aura in it is very similar to Akasha...
"It's nothing, I always feel like someone is staring at me, but maybe it's my delusion. ”
Leaving this block, the two of them and Erwin, who followed beside them, did not expect to be directly in front of the "Colommere" magic tower in the center of Durrell City. Looking at the wide "Balafal Neighborhood", Nefi was most excited—but when she realized that the price of the top-notch magical equipment in front of her was a bit scary, she retracted and looked carefully left and right.
The extravagant and elaborate magic items and various precious materials did open their eyes, but Nephie was very interested in "constructing puppets". She took the little money she won by playing mahjong and chose it, and finally chose a set of "Beginner Puppeteer" "Construct Puppet Type III Suit".
"Why did you suddenly want to play with this?"
Akasha asked with some curiosity.
According to the samples displayed in the "Steven's Construct Golem" shop, the Type III is just over a meter tall and can be carried in a suitcase - of course, the heavy box is held by Erwin, and Nephi is still walking lightly beside him.
The little girl listened to Akasha's question, and naturally replied, "Brother Roddy always doesn't let me participate in the battle, but if it's a puppet, I'm definitely much safer." If there's any danger, I can use the puppet to talk about the way for him. ”
There was nothing wrong with that, but Akasha always felt that the little girl always seemed to be hiding something else. However, thinking back to her experience in the Tim Academy Arena, it is estimated that Nephi still has some talent in constructing golems.
After the main body of the paper was roughly completed, Roddy began to fill in the content according to the skeleton, and all that was left to do was to keep streamlining and organizing. During this period, it is natural to review Merin Sera several times, after all, in terms of "academic level" alone, Merin Sera is still the highest in the entire team.
Sylvia, who forgot to sleep and eat, did not have any breakthrough today, and was a little depressed when she was dragged away from the laboratory by Roddy, and she held the literature all the way in the carriage and read hard, which made Roddy have to admire. But he couldn't take the initiative to forgive, otherwise who knew if Sylvia would slack off, so he said: "If you can't figure it out, you can ask more Merin Sera, although she is not proficient in the floating magic circle, but after all, there are many aspects of knowledge involved, and she has a lot of knowledge, which may be helpful." ”
"Yes, Lord Castle. ”
Sylvia answered, then raised her head slightly, and asked with some hesitation: "By the way, Lord City, I have always had a question..."
"Ask, don't be so polite with me. ”
"Master Merlensera, she... She lived through the time of the High Elves? I could always hear her talk about the details, as if she really lived in that era. But humans can't live that long..."
Roddy was a little surprised, because the fact that Merinthra was a "dragon" was not a secret in the inner circle. But looking at Sylvia's appearance, it should be that Merin Sera has never mentioned this - in other words, she should be completely free from the shackles of dragon identity in her heart.
However, for Sylvia, Roddy naturally has no need to hide it. He reached out and took out the dragon crystal that had already dissipated its energy, and handed it to the high elf undead: "There is no need to tell the third person about her former identity." ”
Sylvia held the crystal and looked at it for a few seconds, and with a shake of her hand, she almost threw it out, and then handed it back tremblingly. She didn't expect that the fiercest Mai Lensera at the poker table would be such a character...
But the thought of how well the dragons took care of her made Sylvia feel dizzy—she always felt that anything that didn't make sense seemed to be normal when she was around Roddy.
Thinking about these questions, the carriage arrived at the hotel. Roddy got up and was about to get out of the car, but his movements were slightly sluggish.
Because through the curtains, he saw Doures standing not far from the door of the hotel with the corner of his skirt up.
It's really haunting... This is coming to the door?
