"There are humans and elves, but that's all in the past. The dwarves today have no prejudice or hostility towards humans and elves. Priest Borat said.

"And what kind of wars are these wars?"

Priest Borat was stunned for a moment, and said, "Naturally, it was a long time ago, it was not an era, but a long time, and we all had wars with other races. ”

"Oh, is that so?" Xiao Chen said, touching his chin.

Glade said in the Bridge of Souls: "In my memory, the Dwarven Kingdom and the God of Forge already existed in the era of the Seven Towers. Because there are several holy forgers in the Forge Tower, who are from the Dwarven Kingdom, they often worship the Forge God even in the Forge Tower. So these reliefs should be about a much more distant era. ”

"Do they think the God of Forging exists, and what kind of person is he?" Xiao Chen asked.

Glade said: "I don't know this, as a book spirit raised by humans, I am not interested in the gods of dwarves. ”

Xiao Chen asked Borat again, "I still have a question, what kind of image is the God of Forging? In all the reliefs, his appearance is very blurred. Unlike the god of nature, there are always places where his appearance is recorded. ”

"Please don't mention the name of the god of nature in this temple, it is a false god, and in the temple of the true god, it is disrespectful to mention the name of the false god. Borat's expression immediately became serious, "The appearance of the god is not something that mortals can discuss, he can appear in front of us in various images, but that is only to make us listen to his teachings, the nature of gods is different from mortals, and it is disrespectful to speculate about gods with any description of human beings or dwarves, such as men and women, young and old." ”

"Do you think the god of nature is a false god? There are many clear records of his existence. Xiao Chen said.

That only means that he exists, but it does not mean that he is really God. The so-called gods of nature, war, and wisdom are all just very powerful beings. It would be very problematic that there would be a war between them, and that they would fall in the war. God is supposed to be immortal, how can he fall?

It must not be the true God who will fall. If there is a person who can surpass the power of the Sage, he may not be able to do the same thing as him.

But the god of forging is different, as long as the dwarves still exist and the dwarves are willing to pray to him, he is immortal. ”

Xiao Chen nodded, didn't say anything more, and continued to follow Borat towards the inner hall. If it weren't for smashing the field, it would have been foolish to debate God's affairs with the priests of a temple in a temple.

However, Xiao Chen said to Luo Ling and Umeda Tian in the Bridge of Souls later, "These dwarves are really confident. ”

"I think what they're saying is interesting and not without reason. The key is to define the concept of God. Luo Ling said.

Umeda said, "I think a god that doesn't exist like the God of Forging is much better than a god like the God of Nature who may affect the human world at any time. ”

"Yes. Xiao Chen added, "It's also interesting that the god of forging doesn't have an image, even if it doesn't exist, isn't it easier for the dwarves to accept it if it fixes its appearance? ”

Luo Ling said: "It's not surprising, in some monotheistic religions on the earth, the image of God is also blurred, because the image itself is used to distinguish between this god and that god in polytheism, and only then will there be such a separation between Zeus and Hera, Odin and Thor." In the creation myth of monotheism, the gods themselves are the founders of the world, and there is no need to distinguish them from other gods, of course, the more mysterious the better, so that they can show their greatness and difference. ”

"You have a point. You're saying that the gods of nature, time, and war are actually a broken polytheistic system. And the dwarves, as the gods of forging, are a monotheistic religion?"

"Isn't it like that?" Luo Ling asked rhetorically.

The hall inside the forging temple is actually higher than the other. These rooms are embedded in the middle of the rocks, and the deeper you go, the higher you go.

After passing through the four halls, Xiao Chen and the others finally came to a wide hall hall with a high platform, and a tall but thick figure stood on the high platform. He was wearing the same priestly robe as Borat, and watched Xiao Chen and his party walk up to the high platform from afar.

Borat said: "That is the high priest of the forging temple, and when a priest becomes a high priest, he has no name. You can just call him High Priest. ”

After saying this, he withdrew from this hall and left Xiao Chen and the three of them behind.

Xiao Chen looked up at the hall and found that there were more than twenty steps in the center of the room. Around the roof of the house were more than a dozen different weapons.

These things all exude powerful magical fluctuations, and they all seem to be very powerful holy weapons.

"These are the best artifacts that the dwarves have created over the years, and the god of forging has given us the gift of forging, and we naturally want to dedicate the most satisfying works to him. At the end of the platform, the high priest spoke, "Come up, human guest. I already know why you're here, and we can talk about it. ”

Xiao Chen took the lead and walked up the stairs, and less than a minute later, he was standing in front of the high priest.

The High Priest was surprisingly young, looking even a little younger than the Borat who brought them in, probably only in his forties by human standards, and probably in his early 100s for a dwarf.

Above the high platform is an altar with an intricate circle painted on it, and above the circle there is a red ball of light floating there, and the light and flames inside the ball of light flow.

The High Priest saw the gazes of several humans, looked at the ball of light, and said, "The will of the God of Forging is watching us. Here, what we are talking about will be known to him. ”

Glade whispered, "It's the breath of the Forge Tower! I felt the breath of the Forge Tower in that ball of light. It felt different from before, maybe it was because time had passed, and the Tower of Forging felt a little broken, a little old, and even a little weak, and it seemed to be in a much worse condition than the Spirit Tower! I really don't know what it had been through thousands of years ago. ”

Hearing Glade's words, everyone else was in good spirits, as long as they found the location of the Forge Tower, it was a matter of talking about conditions.

Xiao Chen said: "High Priest, then let's talk about the Tower of Forging under the gaze of the God of Forging." ”
