Chapter 797: Calendar of the Gods (700 Monthly Pass)
Those who believe in the gods will be redeemed after death!βthis is basically the basis for all the gods to be written into the doctrine.
Because of this, the belief in the gods spread throughout the world of the gods, and even produced a large number of fanatical believers who could give their lives for the faith at any time.
Any study of the soul is absolutely forbidden here, and is regarded as a blasphemy against the dead and the gods.
"What a foolish thing to pin your hopes on others!"
Leylin sighed, but had no intention of forcibly changing it, because he knew very well how difficult it would be to change the conventional beliefs that had been established for hundreds of thousands of years.
Because of this, his mentor Anthony seemed very calm and serene in the face of death, and did not even delay his daily work.
"What if...... One day in the future, your name will be inscribed into the Temple of Knowledge, and my name will appear in the following profile, then I will have no regrets......"
Anthony said what he wanted.
In the Temple of Knowledge, there is a special wall of honor, on which are inscribed with the names of a large number of people who are beneficial to the spread of wisdom, which is regarded as the highest honor for scholars in the entire continent.
And Anthony's hope is that when others see Leylin's glory, they will be able to find his name in the profile - appearing as Leylin's enlightenment teacher.
"I'll do my best, teacher!" Lei Lin was a little speechless in his heart, so he could only agree broadly.
"Good!Let's start today's lesson!Turn the textbook to ......"
After hearing Leylin's personal promise, Anthony's entire face was filled with a kind of light, even as if it was adding fuel to the fire. The little vitality he had left once again exuded a frenzied vigor.
Lei Lin opened it as he said, and an old map appeared in front of him. The lines on it have become very blurry due to excessive finger rubbing.
The black charcoal lines outline a shattered continent, surrounded by small islands that resemble stars.
At the edge of the ocean. There is also a lot of darkness, marked with unknown and dangerous characters.
"The history of our main material world is the history of the Great Discoveries, from the beginning of the year of the Bauhinia Flower to the present, with the great geographical discoveries, the area of the entire continent has expanded hundreds of times, and it has become the shape you see now......"
Anthony said slowly, "And the rise and fall of many kingdoms have brought more changes to this continent, about the changes of those borders. You can see them on the later page...... Now, I need you to find where we are on the map!"
"This ......"
Lei Lin looked at Mentor Anthony, whose face was a little narrow, speechless, and rolled his eyes wildly.
"The location of our Faoran Territory is located in the waters of the Kingdom of Dambraith in the southeast of the continent, and it is a new territory occupied by the Kingdom during the Third Maritime Discovery......
Leylin's finger pointed to a corner in the southeast corner of the map, where the words 'Dambreth' were faintly written.
"But...... Compared to the entire continent, Dambrath is like a sesame seed, and our Faoran Territory is not even a black dot at all, so it is not marked at all...... Unless you have a more detailed kingdom map......"
Because of the scale. On the entire map, the entire kingdom of Dambraith is a drop in the ocean.
And although Lei Lin said this verbally, there was a faint excitement and fire in his eyes.
The entire world of the gods is vast, and there are even kingdoms established by orcs and elves. It also has an underground structure similar to that of the wizarding world, with a large number of dark races in it.
The entire continent is lined with hundreds of kingdoms, principalities, and the like. There are also endless villages and gathering points.
Humans, Orcs, Elves, Dwarves, Gnomes, Goblins, Gnolls, Necromancers...... There are all kinds of races, and there are gods of different gods. There are a lot of immortal legends on this continent!
There are both bloody adventures and mysterious intrigues. There is even more war and peace between different races, different civilizations, and even different gods!
Creatures of every dimension, whether devils or demons, or anything else, are watching this place with greedy eyes, eager to get a piece of the pie under the noses of the gods.
"This is the beginning of the legend......
Lei Lin's heart was a little hot, and he couldn't wait to start traveling and adventuring on the continent.
Of course, this desire was immediately suppressed by the cautious factor in his character.
With his current strength as a fifth-level mage, although he was considered the elite of the adventure group on the dangerous continent, there were too many existences that could take his life.
"Okay! Let's see the Lionheart Kingdom in the center of the map, in the year 37628 of the Gods, that is, thirty years ago, Charlie the Lionheart ......"
Anthony began his lecture, and Leylin listened attentively.
But secretly, his thoughts were still drifting.
"Calendar of the gods! This is a calendar established by the gods, although it is nominally starting with the birth of the gods, but in fact, the first year of the gods is basically the first year after the end of the war of the end of antiquity!"
This black history of the gods, of course, will not be written in the history books, but through the collection of materials, as well as the inadvertent leakage of Ernest and Daniel, as well as his own deductions, he has come to a conclusion.
"The battle of the end of antiquity has almost shattered the entire world of gods, even the continent has been shattered into several pieces, and the civilization of the entire main material world has been destroyed at once, falling into the darkest age, and a large number of gods have fallen, and there are lucky ones who have obtained the divinity and godhead of the fallen gods, and have been able to rise rapidly, ignite the divine fire, and become a new god, the goddess of the magic net Mystra is the best example...... And the newborn gods passed a resolution in the temple of gods, and the year of the promotion of many new gods was designated as the first year of the calendar of gods!"
There was a light in Lei Lin's eyes: "Therefore, among the current gods, in addition to the division of the god system, it is the division between the old gods and the new gods, and the strength of the old gods must generally exceed the new gods......"
Obviously, if the legendary powerhouses in the main material world want to kill the gods and seize the divinity, those new gods are the best choice, and the same is true for Leylin.
"And, in the world of the gods, has it been more than thirty-seven thousand years since the Battle of the Ancient End?"
Lei Lin touched his chin: "It seems that the speed of time in the world of gods is a little different from that in the wizarding world......"
After the class was over and Mr. Anthony was sent away, Leylin returned to his room.
"Young Master, Young Master, you have received a letter from Miss Isabelle!"
At this time, Claire trotted all the way over, holding a pink letterhead in her hand, her chest heaving from the heavy breathing, and even her little face was a little red and beads of sweat.
"Thank you!" Leylin touched Claire's little hand, causing the maid to blush and run away.
After the prank of "Hehe......" was successful, Lei Lin smiled with satisfaction, sat back on the chaise longue, and began to disassemble the pink letterhead in his hand.
"To my dear cousin Raelin Faoran:
It's been five years since I left Faoran, but I still can't stand the darkness and dampness of the city, especially the moss on the ground, which almost all the way to my room......"
On the letterhead, there is a little girl's obviously immature font, which is still full of banter at first, but then it becomes a kind of longing and complaining.
"Five years?"
Leylin sighed, recalling the time when he was with Isabelle, although the other party liked to bully him very much, but the taste of protection was also obvious.
It's just that the other party also has his own family, and finally came to pick up Isabel when Leylin was eight years old.
As she left, Isabel almost cried, and Leylin could still remember how she felt when she was holding her hand.
β...... According to my father's arrangement, I will enter the church of the goddess of agriculture and become a trainee pastor, I have heard that the rules there are very strict, and I hope that there will be a chance to correspond with you...... Isabelle"
"Be a pastor?"
Lei Lin nodded, in those aristocratic families, except for the son-in-law, who was bound to inherit the title, the rest of the children could only get a little money or even nothing before they were kicked out of the house.
Those who were educated went to learn management and became stewards of other nobles, and the others either became knights or entered the church.
The daughters are responsible for marrying other families, and it is the norm for old husbands and young wives or old wives and young husbands to be the norm.
For Isabelle, it was nice to be sent to study as a priest, even if she still had to marry later, but she also had the power and support of the temple.
It's just that...... Remembering that when he was a child, his somewhat pungent cousin needed to pretend to be compassionate and put the name of the god on his lips all day long, Lei Lin couldn't help but want to laugh.
After reading the letter, Leylin went to his house.
There, there is also a small alchemy chamber with a metal surface of a laboratory bench topped by a large number of precious glass instruments.
The mere purchase of these things has greatly reduced the profits of the entire Faoran family for several months of trade.
Moreover, Leylin's side is still only a small head, and the real big head is still with his teacher Ernest.
This terrifying consumption made Lei Lin fully understand why most of the mages were nobles.
In addition to those lucky ones, only the nobles can afford such a terrifying consumption of spell casting materials and experiments. (To be continued......)
