Chapter Twenty-Five: Arendelle
The Eye Demon High Lady who rules the sixth layer of the Bottomless Abyss has a large number of offspring, and it is said that she has mated with Orbis Demon, Tanari Demon, Grilles Demon and even more evil races, and it is said that after mating, the Eye Demon High Mother will devour each other and enter the sub-plane of the sixth layer of the Bottomless Abyss to concentrate on giving birth to her own offspring. Stephen's Eye of the Hive Mother had some strange demonic organs, some kind of special hatching cavity, and he controlled his avatar to observe the others in the tavern while dissecting the Hive Mother Eye into a large pile of parts.
The next contestant to do something didn't know when it would show up, so Stephen simply sat near the bar and listened to the others brag.
The owner of the tavern is a strong, pot-bellied man who is boasting to others about his ancestors, who are said to have been survivors of the Sage's Havoc campaign, killed a demon lord with his own hands, followed the original Lord Sauron all the way from the overseas islands to the southern kingdoms, and finally chose to retreat after the battle of Fallen Leaf City, and went to a place called Arendelle. Because he had seen too many deaths with his own eyes, his ancestors were originally going to be an ordinary person in Arendelle, but they didn't expect that the gang that ruled Arendelle's gray area at that time would actually provoke him.
So, the gang was a complete tragedy.
By the time Arendelle's officials arrived, the elite of the gang had been single-handedly killed, and the tavernkeeper's ancestor must have been shattered from wanting to be an ordinary person, and finally he was co-opted by Arendelle's royal family and became an official enforcer, and a few years later even became the lord of Glacier City.
The tavern owner sat spitting and boasting about the glory of his ancestors, while the merchants next to him laughed and said nothing.
In the eventual decline of the glorious family, it was only a hundred or two hundred years before the tavernkeeper's family gradually declined, and now they had to return to the city of Mordor and rely on a few ancestral shops to open taverns on the street.
Sage Havoc.
Stephen listened to the others boasting about the story of the Sage's Holocalypse period, and his heart couldn't help but yearn a little, if he came to that turbulent era, what would have happened?
There were countless legendary powerhouses in that era, and the bodies of many gods also descended into the mortal world in the form of saints.
The tavern has most of the stories related to Sauron, the Lord of Death, as this being has participated in most of the major battles of the main material plane, and he also started as a pirate king, and his rise is full of legends. Stephen estimated that even if he encountered the Sage Havoc, he would not have the same murderous aura as this Lord Sauron, and the most likely thing should be to hide and develop first. It is no wonder that Lord Sauron will eventually take over the priesthood of death, and Stephen has found out from those stories that millions of people have died directly or indirectly at the hands of this lord.
"I didn't expect Sophia's father to be so murderous...... Stephen felt a little pressured inexplicably.
After leaving the city of Mordor, Stephen teleported across the sea to a place called Viper Island. The island is called Viper Island, but there are hardly any vipers on it, but it is a very prosperous port city. Of course, this place is much worse than the city of Modo, and the population is only three or four hundred thousand. Crossing the strait from Viper Island into the south coast region, the inland cities look much dirtier and less affluent, probably not much different from the northern border of the Motella world, and the overall level is still the same as that of a medieval civilization.
Stephen's entry into the interior feels like he has gone from a new-up city-state of the colonial era into a medieval civilization of the Dark Ages.
There are a large number of temples serving the Lord of Light in these cities, and there are hardly any alchemy factories to be seen, but outside the city are endless wheat fields. Because of the relationship between the Church of the Goddess of Agriculture, the level of agriculture in this plane is still good, and on the basis of food security, the population has grown explosively in the last one or two hundred years. But Stephen looked at the somewhat numb expressions of these ordinary people at the bottom, and still identified a little more with everything in the overseas islands in his heart. Residents of inland cities have a low level of education, and those whose ancestors have been farmers for generations have little way to rise.
They are ignorant but pious, and the priests of the Lord of Light will tell them that if they are good and honest in their duty, then they will enter the kingdom of the Lord of Light after death, and their souls will be bathed in divine radiance and eternal peace and tranquility in heaven.
Stephen noticed an interesting phenomenon.
That is, the priests of the Lord of Death are hardly proselytized, and they all seem to be more like wanderers than like a priest. The priests of the Lord of Light often go out to preach the faith of light, justice, goodness, and so on, and ask them to go to the temple to pray every week.
Stephen was a little curious as to why the Grim Reaper, who did not preach, would be the deity with the most followers on the main physical plane.
Traveling from the southern countries to the north, Stephen soon felt the open-mindedness, the lively atmosphere, and the bustling artistic atmosphere again. The goddess of ice and snow is worshipped in the northern kingdoms, and the most powerful kingdom here is Arendelle, whose royal family has sponsored artists and writers for hundreds of years, so there are plenty of new and interesting things to do. Compared to the overseas islands, the atmosphere of the northern countries is a little more relaxed, and within the scope of the belief in death, people live strictly and restrainedly, and there is an atmosphere of romance and freedom here.
To use a simple example.
Ladies attracted by Stephen's dragon vein charm in Modor City will look at him implicitly and reservedly, ladies in the southern countries who are attracted by Stephen's dragon vein charm will look at him shyly and quietly, and in the bustling metropolis of Arendelle, Stephen is unreservedly teased by the passionate ladies, and someone even sends a hot kiss from afar.
The queen of Arendelle has been passed down for many generations, and this country ruled by women for nearly a thousand years is indeed a little different.
The Ice and Snow Goddess rarely interferes in everything in the main physical plane, and her church is relatively quiet, with no special celebrations except for the grand winter festival. The goddess was a staunch ally of Sauron, the god of death, and a staunch of the Reformed gods, and Arendelle's covenant with the city of Mordor had lasted for hundreds of years.
"There are a lot of allies in the Grim Reaper. ”
But even so, he didn't seem to have the upper hand over the Lord of Light. ”
"I wonder what will happen to these two gods in the end?"
The origin of the Lord of Light is not simple, he was once the sun god of ancient times, one of the most powerful ancient gods at that time, and later the sun god fell and reincarnated as the light of the dawn, and has always maintained a close relationship with the mother earth, when the Arcane Empire was destroyed, the entire main material plane was severely damaged, and the explosion radiation generated after the fall of the floating cities set off dust that covered the sky, almost an apocalyptic situation. But before the end of winter, the Father of the Oak Tree, the Lord of the Nature Gods, has teamed up with the Dawn Light to save the world in a self-sacrificing way, purifying the dust that obscures the sky and allowing the sun to shine on the earth again.
It was after that incident that the Dawn Light became the Lord of Light today.
Seriously, these two main gods are almost the same in terms of strength and achievements, and if they really fight, they will definitely be turned upside down.
