Chapter 43: The Holy Religion
Not only Al, but also Medea, Grushy, and Vidum behind him were stunned on the spot, unable to speak, and for a while the tent was silent, as if everyone was being choked by the throat, and the elder did not speak, silently waiting for everyone to digest the shock he had just brought.

Or El's latest reaction, he is a traverser, and a reborn guest, he has never seen any strong winds and waves, he has never heard of anything shocking, he has seen two or three online articles on human orcs on the earth, maybe it can be regarded as a monstrous wave for the natives of this world, and it is just a drizzle for El.
Al coughed lightly, breaking the dull silence, "What the elder said about it must not be untargeted, can you elaborate on it." ā
The elder who had been in the ancient well since just now was a little surprised at this time, it was rare to be so old and so hearty. He glanced approvingly at Al and was about to open his mouth to answer, when the rest of the people woke up like a dream, and finally reacted, and Vedum roared urgently, "Elder, what you said is true?"
The elder was not in a hurry, but asked a question: "Have you ever wondered why we orcs use the common language of humans?"
Everyone was stunned, and Al thought for a moment and said, "I thought you orcs slowly learned from humans over hundreds of years. The others nodded their heads in deep agreement.
The elder laughed, and the laughter contained countless pains, endless anger, full of mockery and ridicule, only coldness, no joy.
"That's because the orcs in the beginning were all humans, and it was those guys who frantically experimented with their own kind and forcibly turned people into half-human, half-beast ghosts. Then somehow banished all the orcs to this barren land, leaving these orcs to fend for themselves. This was the beginning of the orc race, and the beginning of the orc suffering. ā
All the people gasped and turned people into beasts, how cruel and ruthless, and how crazy and domineering, thousands of years ago, there was such a guy who defied the condemnation of the world, and it can be said that he was the public enemy of all mankind.
Al frowned: "Artificially created orcs, such a top biotechnology on the earth can't do it, the technology of this world shouldn't reach such a level, how did humans do it thousands of years ago." ā
Medea, who is a human being, can't take it anymore, "It's complete nonsense, you're just talking about it." There is no record of this in any of the history books. ā
The elder snorted, his face full of ridicule, "So the human race is really a race that has forgotten its ancestors. He said hatefully: "I heard that you human beings are now practicing a faith called the Holy Religion. But what you don't know is that thousands of years ago, human beings actually believed in the Father and Mother Earth! You human beings have forgotten history, forgotten faith, and ironically, the orcs who were expelled by humans inherited the ancient faith, which has been passed down to this day. ā
The Elder's words were like a thunderclap, which made Al and Medea's heads buzz, and even the well-informed Al was a little caught off guard, as mages, he and Medea did not believe in the Sacred Scriptures that God created the world and God created all things. I also feel that the Holy Religion is hypocritical and deceitful.
But the Elder's words mean that the Holy Sect had not yet appeared when the Five Kingdoms were fighting a thousand years ago, but it was during this thousand years that the Holy Religion had become the faith of all the Holy Teresa and all mankind. It can be said that it has dominated the rivers and lakes for thousands of generations.
But the problem is that in the past thousand years, mankind has also experienced two dynasties of tulips and violets. In particular, the founder of the Tulip Dynasty, the savior of mankind, and the unborn king: the hero King Silori Relot. In particular, during his reign, the Holy Religion promulgated holy scriptures, which officially confirmed the supremacy of the gods in written form and the unshakability of the Holy Religion in the world. According to the elders, this holy book can be described as full of absurdity, a bunch of nonsense, let alone a holy scripture, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a cult. Would the Great Hero King agree that this religion, full of deception and lies, would spread widely and propagate faith?
There was also the founder of the Violet Dynasty, Grievous I. This king, who can also be praised as a great king, was born as a pioneer aristocrat who was only looked down upon, and in the eyes of those long-established nobles, he was not even different from a commoner. However, it was this hairy boy with no background, no power, no connections, and no reputation who fought with the Blood Rose family with great courage, starting from scratch and rags, and finally had the last laugh after the "Hundred Years War", and established the Violet Dynasty, which has been strong to this day. Why would such a wise and martial founding emperor allow the existence of such a religion as the Holy Religion, which would obviously shake the rule?
He has the whole world in his hands, how can he allow anyone to steal a single thing?
But the Holy Sect just flourished under his nose, and developed into a situation where the tail is too big to fall, and the divine power is greater than the imperial power.
And according to the elders, the Father and Mother Earth are the oldest beliefs of mankind, but they have been squeezed out of the ground in a thousand years, and even disappeared in people's folklore, leaving no rumors. This holy religion is also too powerful, and its propagation and uniqueness are stronger than all the religions on earth, and other faiths have lost their armor in front of it, and they have no power to fight back.
All in all, if what the elder said was true, then the development trajectory of this holy sect was too smooth, too weird, and it was the same as opening a hanging. There is another point, why is it that there is no record in the history books like the birth of the orcs, there is no mention of the Holy Religion and the orcs, as if it has been deliberately forgotten, it seems that there is a huge hand that completely erases the record of the melee of the Five Kingdoms from the long river of history, leaving no room for anything.
The stakes are very high, and Al is also a little uncertain, so he has to ask the orc elder for confirmation: "You have said so much, is there any evidence, after all, hearing is false, seeing is believing." ā
Vidum was very angry, "You dare to question the words of the elder, do you think that we orcs are your cunning humans?", but when he scolded angrily, he suddenly remembered the elder's words, the ancestors of the orcs were changed by humans, and scolding humans was not scolding their own ancestors, and he couldn't turn around for a while, and closed his mouth in mockery.
Al turned a deaf ear to this, and didn't say a word, just stared at the elder in silence, with a posture of "you watch and do", anyway, it was agreed before, and a move "retreat is advancing" is appropriate.
The elder was also generous and unflinching, "It's not something unsightly, Grouchy, you go and get the box out." He stood up and stepped aside.
Grouchy got up and walked to the back of the long case, looking like he was in a big fight. Al stared at Grouch to see what kind of evidence he could come up with.
