Chapter 148: The Divine City Descends
Queen Laura had obviously not heard of what the Divine City was, and she looked at the Fahes Sage blankly and said, "I don't quite understand what you mean. ”
"Are you talking about the legendary place where the sages who served the gods of nature were?" Salmeron asked.
Fahs said: "Yes. ”
Salmeron explained to Queen Laura: "Legend has it that the City of God is inhabited by the Sages who have served the gods of nature since the time of mythology, and they are the most powerful and loyal believers of the gods of nature in that era. Historically, the City of Gods has only come once during the Battle of the Seven Towers to Kill the Gods, and it has never appeared again after thwarting the conspiracy of the mages. This time the city of God came here again, I don't know what happened. ”
"What you know is nothing more than a legend from the outside world," Fahs said, "In fact, the origin of the City of God is that after the end of the War of the Gods, the gods sealed away those servants who were loyal to him before falling into a deep sleep, in preparation for his future rule over the world." Although the power of God is extremely powerful, there are always some lowly things that cannot be done by God, and there needs to be some servants who are capable enough to serve God. When God is about to awaken, the City of God will be the first to open and allow God's servants to descend into the world. ”
Queen Laura asked: "As soon as you explain this, I understand the origin of the Divine City, but I still don't understand, why did you ask me for a piece of land and some people? I am not unwilling to contribute that place to the Divine City, but I don't understand that there are many places controlled by the Natural Temple itself, and many places are sacred relics, or magical secret realms, why choose a place in those lands of the kingdom?"
Fahs said: "This involves an important secret of the Divine City. I'm going to tell you that once you listen, there's no chance to regret it. But anyone who knows this secret and does not cooperate with us will only have one ending, that is, they will be completely wiped out by the Temple of Nature, and any outsider who knows this secret must die. ”
Both Laura and Salmeron heard a very different meaning from the words of the Golden Bough Priest, and it must have been a shocking secret to make this sage so solemnly warn, but it had come to this point, and the fool knew that there was no way back. Either go on or accept the fate of being destroyed.
Laura swallowed unconsciously, and said to Fahs, "Lord Fahs, I'm ready, please speak." ”
Fahs put away his smile and said in a pious tone: "When I say I want a piece of land, I don't mean the land itself, but the people on it. All outsiders think that the so-called Divine City is a city in the kingdom of the gods of nature or some other dimension, and then somehow descends into this world. Even in the era of the War of the Seven Towers, those mages of the Seven Towers thought so. But in fact, this is not the case at all, the so-called Divine City is actually an artifact given by God, and the warriors in the Divine City do not exist in the form of physical bodies, but are preserved in the form of energy.
The only immortal beings in this world are gods, and even saints who believe in gods are still human beings. No matter how preserved, no human body can survive 10,000 years. But God still has mercy on the humans who follow him, so God uses his power to strip the souls and energy bodies of the strong and give them life close to eternity in another way. ”
Queen Laura had an ominous premonition that these so-called Divine City Sages were actually such an existence, and they even sounded a little like the undead soldiers under the necromancer, she thought of a terrifying possibility, and couldn't help but ask, "Do these Sages need a body to cling to?"
"Of course not, how can a mortal's weak body support the strength of these saints? Fahs continued: "Of course the gods do not simply extract souls, otherwise what difference would this have with the methods of some necromancers? He gave these saints a special ability called resurrection. Through this ability, with the right conditions, they can reshape their bodies according to the records of their soul and energy.
But these reshapes need to be sufficiently nourished, and the people concentrated on the land will be the material for the resurrection of these saints. ”
"Material, material?" Queen Laura covered her mouth in shock, "Will they die then?"
Fahs said indifferently: "This method will turn their bodies into subtle elements, and at that time, these people will naturally not exist.
But you see, this is not an ordinary death, but a sacrifice for the warriors of God. Isn't it a very honorable thing for an ordinary person to be a part of the Holy One in this way, to fulfill God's task?"
"You, how many men do you need?" asked Queen Laura, "and where are you going to do this?"
"You have to know that there is a huge gap between the physical strength of ordinary people and the sage, and that is because in a long period of cultivation, the sage's body has a lot more things than ordinary people, and it will become stronger, so there will be a lot of materials needed for remodeling. It may be that if a saint is to reshape his body, it will require the sacrifice of dozens of ordinary people.
As for the place, the more hidden the better, and although I think God's approach is perfect, there will certainly be some unreasonable or hostile people who will judge the approach of the God of Nature, which is not what we want to see.
And once we know the origin of the Divine City, it is equivalent to exposing our weaknesses to our enemies, and at that time, the enemy will also target the place where our Divine City is located. ”
"And how many Sages need to wake up?" asked Princess Laura.
"In the beginning, there were more than a hundred Sages in the Divine City, but in the god-killing battle against the Seven Towers, most of these people fell. The current situation...... I don't know, I think there are still dozens of saints. Fahs said.
"By your count, we need to contribute more than two thousand people as materials?" Queen Laura's voice was a little distorted, "That's the population of an entire town. ”
"It's different, there are old and young people in a village, but this time the people who can win the favor of the god of nature, and who can work for him, should at least be strong young people. Only such a person will be able to provide the best quality materials. Fahs said, "How about Queen Laura, now that you know the secret, are you ready to start working with us?"
