Chapter 1412: The Dwarven Clan's Crisis
For six months, no one bothered Abel, and it gave him a very peaceful time.
Of course, his life was not peaceful, and during these six months, the number of followers of the 'Goddess of the Hunt' grew, and the distribution of believers was not in the Shia Forest, where he was worshipped, but throughout the continent.
Almost every day, some hunters become devotees of the 'Goddess of the Hunt', and today there are more than 10,000 followers of the 'Goddess of the Hunt'.
This made Abel have to spend some 'divine power crystals' again to add some more believers' residences to the 'Goddess of Hunting' kingdom.
Because with the growth rate of the 'Goddess of Hunting' believers, it is very likely that within more than ten years, the original 10,000 dwellings in the Kingdom of God will not be enough.
The 'Ice and Snow God' is stable, his Snow Ape Clan has not changed much, and in six months, it is only because of the increase in food and the bonus of the Land of Faith that the number of newborn apes in the Snow Ape Clan has increased more than usual.
These changes did not help the 'Ice and Snow God', and it is believed that the growth of the Snow Ape Clan would not be able to form enough faith power in hundreds of years.
The power of faith mentioned here refers to the power of faith that can elevate the kingdom of God to a higher level.
The 'God of Black Mist' is the god who has benefited the most, with more than 60 million Minotaur believers in six months, making him the god with the largest number of followers under Abel.
The power of faith generated so far, if you use it yourself, can also help several other gods.
Now Abel has already let the three gods return to their respective kingdoms, and during this period of study, the three gods have also reached the ability to handle affairs on their own.
Abel is not worried about the safety of these three places of faith, as long as there is a god-level person entering the land of faith, he will naturally be known by the gods.
As long as the gods in the kingdom of God notify, more than five god-level combat forces on Abel's side can go through the teleportation circle in the kingdom of God at any time.
With the power of faith to suppress the enemy, he believed that even a god-level wizard from the Wizards' Guild would be enough to be defeated by him.
Because the number of god-level combat power under his command has reached a considerable amount, this is where his confidence against the wizard guild lies.
The only thing that bothered him was the 'God of the Hill', and during these six months, the number of followers of the 'God of the Hill' also increased significantly.
Through the faith channel in the soul of the 'God of the Hill', he found that the people who believed in the 'God of the Hill' were all dwarves, and not only the dwarven blacksmiths, but even some ordinary dwarves and dwarven wizards also had followers of the 'God of the Hill'.
With what he knew about the dwarves, this shouldn't have happened.
Because the dwarves are members of the Wizards' Guild, as early as when the god of fire was still alive, the dwarves constrained the development of the Vulcan's faith because of the wizards' guild.
Only a small number of dwarven blacksmiths believe in the 'god of fire', and the rest of the dwarves are forbidden to believe in the god of fire, so as not to trigger the sanction of the wizarding guild.
Of course, although the 'God of Fire' takes fire as his name, in fact, his ability to control flames is far less than that of the 'God of the Hill', even if the 'God of the Hill's 'Flame Control' ability is only one of his three abilities that is not powerful.
This is also the difference between the 'God of the Hill' and the 'God of Fire', the 'God of the Hill' is a god of war, and its own strength is far from being comparable to that of the 'God of Fire'.
Most directly, among the dwarves, the fall of the 'Vulcan', although it caused some fluctuations, did not cause the blacksmiths' abilities to decline.
The main reason for this is the ability of the 'Vulcan God' to bless the blacksmith believers, and its influence is not strong.
In six months, the number of master blacksmiths of the dwarven clan has increased by twenty-five, and they all have one thing in common: they are all followers of the 'god of the hill'.
As long as you have just believed in the 'God of the Hill' and become a believer in the 'God of the Hill', you can be blessed with the ability of 'Flame Control'.
In the dwarf clan, many dwarven high-level blacksmiths will be stuck above the high-level blacksmith, and they will hardly be able to advance an inch in their lives.
The biggest reason for this is not the forging skills of the dwarven high-level blacksmiths, because with the dwarven blacksmith inheritance and the love for forging in their blood, as long as they choose this path, almost their forging skills can reach an extremely high level.
But blacksmithing is not just about forging skills, it also needs to work with flames.
At this point, countless dwarven blacksmiths could not achieve the extreme, and they could not break through to the master blacksmith.
Not all dwarven blacksmiths have psychic powers, and without them, it is difficult to achieve precise control over the changes in the flames.
Of course, there are some geniuses who can precisely control the flames without relying on mental power, but dwarven blacksmiths who can do this are rare.
When the dwarven senior blacksmith believed in the 'god of the hill', the blessing of the 'flame control' ability gave the dwarven senior blacksmith the ability to control the flames.
This is more direct and easier than controlling flames with mental power, and some high-level blacksmiths have completely mastered the 'flame control' ability after a period of practice, and naturally become blacksmith masters.
The first Dwarven Senior Blacksmith was promoted to Master Blacksmith, and the second Dwarven Senior Blacksmith was also promoted to Master Blacksmith, and the successive promotions gave the Dwarves a stronger understanding of the greatness of the 'God of the Hill'.
At the same time, the story of the 'God of the Hill' instilled since childhood also made more dwarves accept it without a knot and become believers in the 'God of the Hill'.
Of course, this is only a change from the Dwarven Blacksmith, and similarly, the benefits of the 'Fire Control' ability have also been found among Dwarven wizards.
A dwarven wizard who believed in the 'God of the Hill' found that his fire spell power had increased by a cut after receiving the blessing of the 'Fire Control' ability, and this discovery made more dwarven wizards become believers in the 'God of the Hill'.
Then there are the Dwarven smelters, who have also discovered the benefits of the 'Flame Control' ability in their smelting.
As a result, after these dwarves with the highest status among the dwarves have become believers in the 'god of the hill', let alone ordinary dwarves.
So in six months, there were already two million followers of the 'God of the Hill' among the dwarves.
Because the 'God of the Hill' does not have a kingdom of God, all these powers of faith poured into the body of the 'God of the Hill', but the power of faith that his body can store is limited.
A large amount of faith power was transformed into the power of faith of the god of war at a cost of several times, and the power of faith of the god of war was greatly replenished.
It's just that this situation is definitely a huge waste, and at the same time, it also restricts the development of the 'god of the hill' itself.
"Ladies and gentlemen, a large number of dwarves in the dwarven race are believing in the 'god of the hills', this kind of thing must be stopped, and the most powerful means must be used to make them understand that this behavior is wrong!" Hawthorn God-level wizard said in a deep voice.
In the conference room of the headquarters of this wizarding guild, a full eleven god-level wizards gathered here, and recently another god-level wizard was recalled, and the number of god-level wizards in the wizarding guild reached twelve.
Except for one god-level wizard who stayed in Roaring Castle, the rest are all here.
"Yes, we can look at Elder Abel's face for the sake of the Minotaurs' belief in the 'God of Black Mist', and we don't pursue them, but the dwarves are different, they are members of the Wizards' Guild, and we deal with our own members, and they have nothing to do with Elder Abel, so it doesn't make sense for him to want to interfere!"
What happened to the dwarves, although only two million dwarves believed in the 'God of the Hill', was not comparable to the 60 million followers of the Winterhoof Empire.
But the meaning of this is completely different, the Winterhoof Empire is only a branch of the orc race, and it belongs to the lowest race.
But the dwarves are members of the Wizards' Guild and have always been under the care of the Wizards' Guild, and even the Wizarding Legacy is also open to the dwarves.
In this case, the dwarves began to believe in the 'god of the hills'.
The 'God of the Hill' is an enemy of the Wizards' Guild, and has been held by the Wizards' Guild for many years, and has formed a great feud.
What the dwarves are doing is restoring their strength to the 'god of the hills'.
Sitting together today, the god-level wizards felt that the dwarf clan was slapping the wizard guild in the face, and they needed to do something to show who was the ruler of this continent.
"Let's say hello to the dragons first, explain what the dwarves are doing, and ask them not to get involved!" the McPhee god-level wizard suggested at this point.
"This is necessary, we are in charge of this matter, if Elder Abel interferes, it will be interfering in the internal affairs of the Wizards' Guild!" Hawthorn God-level wizard said in a deep voice.
In fact, they didn't pay attention to each other, and they tried their best not to offend Abel when they were discussing.
"I think it's better to let the Dwarven King Gunther come to the headquarters to explain first, if the dwarves insist on continuing, it's not too late to take action!" said the god-level wizard of Nesmith, who didn't want to make things out of control immediately.
The dwarves are still very important to the wizarding guild.
Most of the buildings in the Wizards' Guild are built by the Dwarves, and the repair and maintenance of these buildings are carried out by the Dwarves.
In particular, some war fortresses can only be built by dwarves, and even if the wizarding guild also preserves the relevant technology, those engineers who can drive engineering golems cannot be cultivated in a short time.
In particular, engineering golems are a unique technology of the dwarves, and without the dwarves and engineering golems, they will not be able to build and repair buildings as quickly as the dwarven engineers.
"That's fine!"
"I agree!"
Many god-level wizards were very clear-headed, and they understood the relationship, so they agreed.
Although the Hawthorn god-level wizard was a little dissatisfied, he could only nod.
To be honest, he actually wanted to give some punishment even to the Winterhoof Empire, but the current wizarding guild has discovered the problems of the wizarding guild since there were more and more god-level wizards, and after many conflicts with Abel.
The current wizard guild is no longer a god-level wizard who can issue orders as soon as his mind is hot.
There is also the current god-level wizard gathering, which discusses the handling of some important events in the wizarding guild.
When the dwarven king Gunther received an order from the headquarters of the Wizards' Guild, he did not dare to refuse the request to go to the headquarters of the Wizards' Guild, because at the end of the order, he saw the names of eleven god-level wizards.
Before leaving, he found the legendary wizard of Faraday.
"Faraday, I'm going to the Wizards' Guild headquarters, and I want to ask you for one thing before I leave!" he said to Faraday Legendary Wizard.
"Your Majesty Gunther, you're just going to the Wizards' Guild Headquarters, can't you talk about it when you come back?" asked the Faraday Legendary Wizard in return.
"Faraday, I have a bad feeling about going to the headquarters of the Wizards Guild this time, so I have something to explain to you before leaving, you are the strongest person in the dwarf clan today, with your support, I can also go with confidence!" said the dwarf king Gunther helplessly.
"Is the Wizards' Guild still going to attack you?" said Faraday's legendary wizard's face changed dramatically, and he continued, "Then you don't want to go to the Wizards' Guild headquarters!"
"Eleven god-level wizards jointly issued an order, if I don't go, I'm afraid the entire dwarf clan will be exterminated!"
"Is it because of the belief in the 'God of the Hill'?" asked the legendary wizard of Faraday.
"That's all there is to it, but I don't care about my life or death, and I hope you can take care of Job!" said Gunther the Dwarven King in a deep voice.
Job was the only son of the Dwarven King Gunther and the heir of the Dwarven King.
All the secrets of the entire dwarven clan are known only to Job, except for the dwarven king Gunther himself.
"Your Majesty Gunther, rest assured, I will protect Job's safety, he is the future dwarven king, this is recognized by the entire dwarven clan!" said the legendary wizard of Faraday respectfully.
"If I can't come back, then you can send Job to Elder Abel, and tell Elder Abel everything here, and if possible, we dwarves can take refuge in him!" The Dwarven King Gunther said softly, but the legendary wizard of Faraday heard it clearly.
After the dwarven king Gunther sensed the danger of going to the headquarters of the wizarding guild, he began to think about the future direction of the dwarves.
If the Wizards' Guild really makes a move against him, then it means that the Wizards' Guild has completely broken with the Dwarves.
Of course, the dwarves do not have the capital to break with the wizarding guild, but the dwarves will not sit idly by, and will always find a way to survive in the crisis.
In fact, the dwarven king Gunther did not expect that the belief in the 'god of the hill' would be so violent, and he initially estimated that the belief in the 'god of the hill' would only spread among a small number of dwarves.
If the Wizards' Guild objected, he could also ban the spread of the 'God of the Hill' belief and give the Wizards' Guild a satisfactory reply.
But he also didn't expect that in just six months, two million dwarven believers appeared among the dwarf clan, which made him have no way out when facing the wizarding guild.
