Chapter 4: The Lost Temple
Speaking of climbing trees, there's a lot of story to tell. Roughly speaking, it was John who had difficulty walking due to the flooding of the ground when he was advancing through the Punishment Forest and the Farland Fortress, let alone fighting a giant crab with a hard shell and a hexagonal Gollum elder who could use spell magic. At that time, John tried to see if he could climb the tree and move, using a bow and arrows or magic. Although he was eventually knocked down from the tree by the water jet spit out by the crab and Elder Hexagonal Gollum's spell, John was also able to learn to climb and move on trees.
John decided to climb to the middle and lower part of the canopy, where the branches were thicker and denser, enough for John to move on and provide some cover. Once he had climbed up, John began to look around for the barracks.
Logically speaking, it is very unreasonable to camp in the woods, because there is not enough space in the woods for the army to be barracks, and it is also very unfavorable for the observation of the surrounding enemy situation. But if the other party does this, it means that they have found a solution to these problems, and the most likely new thing is the extraordinary power of this world. Don't forget, in this world, God really exists, and you can see some clues from the weapons and equipment in your hands, not to mention the two brothers and sisters who have an inexplicable relationship with their awakening.
John looked around, and soon found the location of the barracks - the smoke was so obvious that the other party seemed to have no intention of concealing it.
No disguise is of course the best, in order not to clash, John carefully moved away from the direction of the barracks and made a detour. Now is not the time to play, so it's better to find the lost temple first.
Moving slowly through the trees, John suddenly remembered the knightly novels he had found in the large library that he didn't know who had written them. If it was in a novel, the act created a certain dramatic effect, and now I should be discovered, and then chased and killed by a large group of people, and finally escape to the edge of a mountain cliff and jump down, and accidentally find some ancient magic scrolls, legendary miracles, or powerful weapons and equipment or the like.
Could the Lost Temple, which I'm looking for now, also be under some cliff, behind a waterfall?
Fortunately, although real life is sometimes more dramatic than fiction, most of the time it is still more reliable. When John was away from the camp, he was not noticed by anyone.
After walking in the woods for two days, John reached the bottom of the mountain. The journey was strange, John met the army several times along the way, but each time he appeared, there was a blind spot around him, and not a single animal approached him along the way. On one occasion John met a pack of timberwolves, and John had drawn his weapons, but the wolves saw John and left.
When John walked into the mountain, he suddenly felt that a certain place in the mountain attracted him, and a desire to get close to him appeared in his mind. Sensing that it was the location of the Lost Temple, John began to pick up speed and rush in the direction that attracted him.
The Temple of the Lost, as the name suggests, was originally supposed to be a temple, but it was abandoned and forgotten. Since this is a temple, the worship inside is naturally a god, that is, a place where the gods look at the world. And these two siblings let themselves go to the Temple of the Lost to contact them, then it is very likely that they are also hungry gods. Why is the temple lost?
The reason why John was so cranky was because he was already standing in front of the temple. In the sunlight, John could clearly see the decorations around the temple. Judging by the tiles laid on the ground and the pillars that stand around it, it must have been a spectacular temple in the past. Walking to the position of the hall, at the end of the hall is a huge marble statue of the deity, which would be about 15 meters tall if it was intact, and now the idol has broken off at the waist, and the upper body falls backwards, crushing the wall behind it. Judging by the idol, this is supposed to be a statue of a goddess, possibly the temple of the younger sister of the two siblings.
John thought as he reached out and touched the idol. Then I felt that it was dark in front of me, and I came to a void. Back here, John saw the familiar scenery in front of him, wasn't this the space where the two siblings were before they woke up?
"Ahh Judging from this conversation, the two siblings are actually using the time they have arrived here to bet? John suddenly felt that these two siblings had their heads seriously turned into living corpses.
"Hey, you kid, what's going on in your head for faux pas?" Suddenly, the younger sister of the siblings spoke. "Forget it, since you're here, I'll tell you about it. Listen, my name is Ann, my brother's name is Terr, and we are the root gods of this world. When Ann said this, the god Ter spoke: "I am Terr, death, darkness, truth, space, the earth and the sea, ruler of night and darkness. "I am Ann, life, light, destiny, time, the storm and the flame, the ruler of the day and the light. To be precise, the world is us. "Wow, that's a big deal. John Xin was surprised, then I don't know what the two great beings want me, a mortal, to do, spread your faith?
"We don't need that kind of thing. Ann said dismissively, "Looks like I'm going to have to give you a lesson." Little one, you have to figure it out, we're not the same as the ones out there. The foundation of the gods out there is faith in their own right. The reason why those gods outside became gods was to first ignite the divine fire in their own souls, and then fuse the laws of their comprehension into a divine crystal to wrap the divine fire and become a godhead. Since they themselves have other creatures who have become gods, their souls are not enough to support the long-term burning of the divine fire, and they absorb faith to strengthen their souls. The most obvious characteristic of this kind of god is that the level of ability is directly proportional to the faith that the believer can provide, and the more you believe in yourself, the deeper the faith, the stronger the god. But there is also a limit, such a god can never violate the law of turning into his own god crystal, such as a god who uses the law of fire as the basis for becoming a god, and can never manipulate water. Moreover, if you use the range of laws that your godhead can't bear, you may directly burn out the divine fire and burst the divine crystal" Ann paused for a moment, and then John heard Ann say to Terr next to him: "Brother, bring me some snacks." β
??? the black question mark on John's face, this is hair.
After waiting for a while, John heard Ann chewing something in his mouth, and said a little slurredly, "But there are exceptions...... "Swallow it." Ter spoke, and said, "If a god can integrate other laws into his godhead without conflict, he will naturally be able to improve his ability and absorb the scope of faith, such as Ramjes, the god of sandstorms, who has the power of both earth and wind, and Lady Angry Waves has the power of water and wind at the same time." Generally speaking, the law is comprehended by itself from the natural world, but there is a problem that this will arise, that is, it is possible for the same law to be comprehended by many people, so that the belief will be distributed to each god according to the degree of comprehension, so that the power of the gods will be reduced. This will cause the gods to kill each other to snatch each other's godheads and absorb the Divine Fire Crystal. Of course, even gods with different laws can do this. β
Later, in order to have a certain number of stable sources of faith, the gods mostly turned themselves into the embodiment of the law for propaganda, so that the believers transferred their faith directly from a certain concept to themselves. At the same time, there are gods who have become the patron saints of a certain region, a certain profession, a certain race. This kind of god concentrates faith directly into a small area, cultivating believers and fanatics with a higher degree of faith, and uses them to replace the large number of shallow believers who do not have enough depth of faith. But in this way, they found themselves tied up in this small area, and for the sake of their beliefs, the divine function worked harder to protect these particular believers. β
"Okay, now let's talk about another kind of god, the ancient gods. The Old Gods themselves are rules, they are laws, and they can use their power without limits. However, the Old Gods could not use the powers of other laws, such as the god of thunder, Wu," Speaking of which, a young man appeared in the void, his hair made of thunder and lightning was extremely striking. As soon as the young man, the thunder god U, appeared, he bowed to one knee deep in the void, keeping this motion, as if waiting for an or Tel's order. "Wu is an ancient god created by us with the law of thunder and lightning, he is the embodiment of thunder and lightning, no matter who the god in charge of thunder and lightning in the outside world is, his power comes from Wu. On the other hand, U cannot use any laws other than thunder and lightning. β
Wait, wait, you just said that the old gods were created by you? John suddenly felt a little wrong, and asked his own question.
"That's right, any of the Old Gods was created by our brothers and sisters. "At the beginning of the creation of the world, God the Father created our brothers and sisters as the cornerstones of the world, and the dragons, giants, and fish-people as the life of the world," Terr said. Later, Ann and I imitated the Father God to create the ancient gods, and the three tribes became gods by faith. But gods may die, but the old gods don't. β
"So, we're not looking for you for some kind of faith, but because of youβin your memory, you have three different systems of spells in that world, right?"
Well, yes, miracles, magic and spells. John nodded.
"In this world, if a prisoner wants to possess magic, he can only do so through the gift of the gods, that is to say, he can only perform miracles. My brother and I are going to introduce magic and spells into the Nether. Ann suddenly threw out a big news, and John Sauce was in a daze
