Chapter 772: Otherworldly
The scroll in front of Adair hadn't been touched for a long time.
"Is there a problem?" asked Kerryben, in fact, as elves whose class is not so distinct, and whose privilege has never been predominant, they have only knowledge of the human polity, they have no desire for power, and they know that they cannot think of the price that humanity will pay for thisβ On the other hand, although Adel is the youngest son of the Archon of the White Tower, the three brothers also received the same education in the early days, and they were exposed to their father's side, although the Falun is much larger than the White Tower, but fortunately, everything in the Falun was re-established after destroying the old order, which saved them from a lot of trouble.
"I'm just ......" Adair hesitated for a moment, obviously not knowing whether he should reveal his worries, Kerry may not have realized it, but as a priest, a follower of a god, and even a constituent, Adel was undoubtedly always sensitive to the question of faith, but after reading and understanding all the texts on the law, he found one thing, and that was that there was no place reserved for the gods in Cremar's vision.
After listening to his words, the elves couldn't help but fall into a short silence, in the Silver Crown Forest, or the Emerald Forest, the elves believe in the god of life Angelis and other gods of the elven god line, whether the elves really, simply, and devout believe in them are not so important, think about it, they even allow their descendants to believe in other gods, for example, the second faith of Kerryben is Suren, and the second faith of Perante, who is a druid, is the god of nature, Hivannath, they treat the elves like parents take care of their children, and they are always tolerant and reasonableAs long as the gods of the elves are not evil, they never interfere. Because of this, the elves also lack the usual sensitivity to the issue of faith, but since Adel has already brought it up...... "I'll talk to him." Elven Ranger said mildly.
"I didn't mean to force him. Adel added that although Rosada also needed the faith of the people, the handsome and arrogant god would not be like a merchant, and that Adel did not want to take advantage of this opportunity to gain glory and status, although as Cremar's right-hand man, it was not impossible for him to erect more temples and sanctuaries of the God of the Morning Light in the Elector's realm - given that the messengers had already offered countless holy relicsβ Whether it is an exquisite tapestry, a magnificent gold cup encrusted with precious stones, or a silver plate the size of an outstretched arm, all of which are marked with patterns related to Rosada, whether it is the laurel of Rosada, the peacock of Rosada's animal incarnation, or his holy stone, the Sun Stone, all imply that if the Electors are able to produce among their masters, their masters will be willing to support Rosada, the god of morning light, in expanding his earthly kingdom in their own realm.
"I know. Carey replied more softly, that he had always liked the young man, and how much the elf's heart ached when he was branded and exiled for dereliction of duty and deliberate grievances, but fortunately he was finally forgiven by Rosada - and even went on to become one of his favorite priests, and that Adelle's face had changed several times, but fortunately his heart had not changed.

The soul of the other world is not unaware of the gods, it has spent as many years in this plane as it did in the original plane, and even in the other plane, there are three religious electors, that is, three archbishops. But it is precisely because it is here, that it does not want the religious forces to interfere in the secular political circles - everything has advantages and disadvantages, there are gains and must be paid, people are protected by the gods, and they must also be threatened by the gods, just like the previous war, although it is in the name of Falun revival, but from the information obtained from the Falun Emperor and other places, it is just another game between gods in the end.
Thinking of this, it can't help but feel a little tired, this is a bizarre, wonderful world, if this is just a dream, or a book, maybe it will not suffer such a deep trouble, but unfortunately it is not, everything it can feel is forcing it to see, to listen, to feel, to understand...... It's a real world...... Each time there was intense pain and regret, from Ilda, to Meme, to Leona, from the outcasts outside the Fortress to the inhabitants of the White Tower, to the people of Thundercastle, and the land that Grenada passed through during her assault on the Silver Crown Forest, it did as much as it could, but it was still not enough, its power was so weak in front of the gods and the abyss that it was not worth mentioning...... But it had made its choice, and now that it had accepted it, it wanted to leave its mark here, just like any shallow mortal.
Some people may laugh at it for not being self-sufficient, but it doesn't matter, it never thought it could start a raging fire in the first place, and all it does now is leave a tiny seedβ Human beings have always been humble and weak in this plane, if it weren't for the talents among them, maybe they would have been destroyed a long time ago, many people (including human beings) also think so, but the soul of the other world is not, it comes from a place where there are no gods, no demons and devils, and the people there can only rely on themselves when they are hairy apes, and to this day, they may still have faith, but they never stop their steps because of faith, their hearts are full of power, even the gods cannot annihilate themγ And this world, humans, as well as dwarves, elves and even orcs, may think that they are protected by the gods, but to the souls of the other world, they are also confined to an invisible cage.
Especially after seeing that the Orc King Gersh and his children had been brutally killed by his people at the instigation of the priests, and that the orc kingdom he had established had fallen in an instant, and that the orcs had become disorganized again.
So when Kerry brought the mead and wanted to talk to it, it gladly received its friend, for Kerryben, it has always trusted and respected, but sometimes, it doesn't know whether to let Kerry know more things, which may destroy his faith, or may make his perception distorted, both of which are undoubtedly extremely dangerous.
"Tell me about your world. Kerry pleaded, saying that the information he had received from Afra was very thin, and that he had not asked Afra or Cremar in order to prevent this terrible information from being leaked to someone who should not have known, but that the other Cremar, after he had entered the room, had taken out Simiril, the sacred thing that Angelis, the god of life, had left to the elves, and that it contained divine powers that could bring the elves back to the fountain of life from thousands of miles away, and could also shield the ominous eyes and ears.
Another...... Plane?
The soul of the other world looked quietly out the window, and the scenery on the Arrow Peak was very monotonous, but its mind had returned to its homeland, that ordinary and warm home, what should it choose to begin: "It was a world ruled by humans, with no dragons, no gods, no demons, no demons, no giants, no orcs, no dwarves and elves, to be precise, they only existed between books and movies, a whole dimension between humans and humans. The spirit of the other world put his hands on the table and calmly recalled: "There is no magic, no magic, everything that human beings want, they have in their own hands, in every city, in every countryβthe sturdy and flat roads stretch like veins to the tiniest corners, the rivers and the bridges on the land connect the divided lands, and on the seas that the bridges cannot cross, there are huge metal ships and flying machines that carry people everywhere - Humans are curious about everything they can understand and touch, and in order to satisfy their curiosity and desire for enjoyment, they have mastered fire, wind, thunder and lightning, and water, but this is not magic, even mortals can control it, and they can benefit countless people, not one, two, hundreds, or thousands, but tens of thousands of human beings. In order to alleviate hunger, resist aging, and eliminate the threat of disease to mankind, they even dare to correct and change the fundamentals that nature has given them, they ...... It's very arrogant, but it's also very admirable, because they have a short lifespan, they have little strength, and sometimes they give everything but they still get nothing or go down the wrong path, but it's because of them...... In the end, it is human beings who become the masters of all beings. β
"But when it comes to gods," the otherworldly soul suddenly smiled, "Maybe there were, in our legends and in other countries, gods are almost everywhere, like ......"
"It's like here. Carey Ben said.
"Yes. The spirit of the other world admitted, "The gods and ghosts we have believed in are much more complicated than the gods and demons here," it looked at Kerryben. It is said that our world was originally opened up by a giant god, who was born in a mass of chaos, and when he wanted to stretch his limbs, he raised his axe and cut through chaos, but chaos always had to be brought together, and he held and stepped on them, and finally the chaos above became the sky, and the chaos below became the earth, and he held on for a long, long, long time, until he died...... He fell, and the breath he exhaled became wind and clouds, the sound he had had became thunder, his left eye became the sun, his right eye became the moon, his body became a mountain, his blood became a river, his veins became ore, his muscles became earth, his hair became stars, his hair became grass and trees, his teeth and bones became gold and precious stones, his bone marrow became jade, his sweat became rain, and the tiny insects on his body were human beings. β
"That's a god who deserves a lot of respect. Kerry lowered his head and placed his hand on his heart.
"Yes," whispered the spirit of the other world, "and then, many gods appeared, but it was not humans who ruled the whole world first, but demons and witches, who ......"
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Adel thought that Kerry Ben would come looking for him soon, but in fact, Kerry Ben did not finally appear in front of him until the third day.
"I hope it's not my problem that makes Cremar unpleasant. Adel felt a hint of regret, but it had already happened, and it was useless to regret it, and he carefully observed Kerryben's expression, and found that the elf was rarely confused.
"It has nothing to do with you," Kerry shook his head, "just heard a few ...... Something that makes me a little uneasy. β
"I can know ......"
"No," the Elven Ranger realized that his refusal seemed too blunt when he saw the priest's stunned expression, "It has nothing to do with anything here, it should be said, nothing to do with anything." β
Just a guess, a much more terrifying guess than the battle of the gods, but just a guess.
Adel stared at him for a moment, then gave up on asking questions, walked behind his desk, and chose another topic: "I received a letter from Ugly Chicken." β
Kerryben's expression suddenly became serious: "Where is she now?"
"It's already close to the Dragon's Back Mountains. β

After the defection of the Emperor of Falun, the original task of Cremar and his party became very simple- The missing dwarves and gnomes were looted by the priests of Ciric and the subordinates of Ostal (as they deduced from their appearance and idioms) to the Iron Bone City, which had been destroyed by the demons, where the dwarves and gnomes were forced to become slaves and build black iron golems for these people, in order to make a large number of golems move, they need human or humanoid souls, of course, the souls of goodness and justice they cannot harvest for the time being, and even if they do, these souls will not waver because of the promises they give, and become their weapons to slaughter those innocent people, so they will think of recruiting mercenaries, Only a very small number of mercenaries can maintain a good position, more neutral and evil, they poured these souls into the golems, and they got powerful soldiers with treacherous wisdom and not afraid of pain and death, the golems that appeared in the attack and defense of the fortress were only experimental, and then there will be more, thousands of golems flooding the human battlefield.
Even if humanity wanted to stop fighting, the golems would dash their hopes unless they were willing to watch their descendants and people writh in a sea of blood.
