Section 63 Priesthood
Bengalore is a city completely protected by a maze of lockdowns.
This is mainly due to the small number of halflings, their size is destined to be poor, and if there are not enough casters, it is difficult to ensure stability even if halflings live together.
In fact, for the intelligent beings of Eva Riel, the combat classes with the lowest entry threshold are warriors and wanderers with little or no spell casting ability, and the other classes require either knowledge or piety, and these faint thresholds stop all beings.
Although there are two kinds of spellcasters in the halflings, mages and bards, this is only relative, and the hidden requirements of the caster profession are too high, even if all intelligent creatures have Io's special favor, but unfortunately there are not many who can really be called spellcasters.
For halflings, if the inaugural warrior profession does not have a strong physique, it will only die faster than if it is not inaugurated, and this race with a congenital weakness in size is generally unsatisfactory.
The only thing left is the more agile Wanderer class, which is not suitable for frontal combat, even if it is considered to be advanced in many levels, and it is not enough to take on the main task in large-scale battles.
Therefore, in the long-term evolution, the halfling race chooses to hide itself more and keep the number of people in each group small, so that not only is the pressure to obtain food and other survival materials much less, but also in the event of danger, there can be one or two low-level spellcasters, which can smoothly make most members flee quickly.
Under the influence of this cultural background, the halflings who made up the kingdom still did not maintain a large population in their own capital.
Bangalore is inhabited mainly by noble families, ecclesiastical organizations, and spellcaster organizations of the Halfling Kingdom, with a very small number of commoners.
As for the standing soldiers, there is no large number of troops of any race, and the cost performance of the army can be said to be very low based on the reality that the power of Evanriel is attributed to the individual.
"For us, the mage apprentice is the most suitable soldier, and the maze needs to be powered and controlled, and ordinary soldiers can't do this. As the main receptionist, Ospen introduced the composition of the garrison in Bangalore to Huang Xin and others: "The warriors and wanderers mean very little to us, and they can be the main force of the army in Arenada. ”
"Our army is in fact the paladins of the Church, and some priests who are keen to fight will also join them, but the number of priests is not very large, although as long as you have a devout faith, you can join them. ”
"But as we all know, piety is not as simple as paying lip service. ”
When it comes to religion, Huang Xin and the others have subtle expressions, but no one makes nonsense out of place.
Zeng Li's heart moved, and he asked, "Mr. Hui Zhuan, you know that most of us are not in the habit of believing in a certain god, but now that the gods have arrived after all, I have some questions, I don't know if I should ask?"
The halfling mage who led the team to greet everyone before had the surname of Big Mack, and his first name was also Ospen, which is why the goblin called him "Big Mac", and after figuring out the real situation, everyone used their surnames when they communicated.
"Just ask, you won't be blasphemous anyway. We mages are not devout, and the gods may be our idols, but we will not be like those lumps of iron. The goblin archmage said as he put his hand on the shoulder of the halfling barley, "Did you say yes, Big Mac?"
The halfling didn't jump out of the way like a goblin, but nodded indispensably.
"It's a blessing to be able to establish friendship with you!" Zeng Li complimented without a trace: "That's right, a small number of us also have our own religious beliefs, and many of them think that they are pious and choose to take up careers such as priests and paladins. ”
"But they didn't follow the guidance of the character card, and they didn't get any magic or any other abilities. ”
The goblin was about to answer, but was stopped by Big Mac, who asked before him, "Which god do they believe in?"
Zeng Li couldn't help but hold his glasses, a little hesitant: "Beliefs are more complicated, in fact, I don't understand their ...... Anyway, they have many sects, and they seem to me to be the same god, but they can quarrel and even fight...... You know......"
"I don't understand!"
"What do I know?"
Diamond and Big Mac both expressed their incomprehension: "You can just tell me the name of the god, anyway, I guess it's not our god of Evaniel." ”
"Boom ......"
There was another violent shaking, and I had to sigh that the quality of the defense project of the halfling was excellent, and the aristocratic living quarters in the city had been completely in ruins, and the fortifications here were only a few slags.
Outside the city are three abomination aberrations of divine abomination that are no less powerful than the Fire Soul Giants, one of which is an aberration wing demon with the natural ability to fly.
This is an abomination distortion corrupted from the winged demon, and his original appearance has long been indistinguishable, but with the natural advantage of wings, he frequently crosses the two legendary professionals blocking on the periphery and directly attacks the energy defense of the Misty Lock, which always causes violent vibrations.
There are only these two legends in Bangalore, and once they are tired and need to rest, the Lost Lock will probably not be able to withstand the attack of the three-headed divine abomination token, and they have been fighting for more than three days and two nights so far, which is why Ospen and they are in a hurry to call for foreign help.
In addition to the Chinese government on Earth, three other cities that have received the distress message are already setting up teleportation arrays, and it is said that at least three legendary professionals will arrive.
It is precisely because of the years that all ethnic groups have fought together against abomination that has made such a grand occasion possible.
"There are a lot of names, Jesus, God, it seems that there are others, and this one is the god of other peoples in our country, and the number of gods worshiped by our own nation is too great to count, and there are also ...... called God in it."
As the tremors subsided, Zeng Li continued the conversation.
In addition to this believer, there is also a believer named Allah and Allah, and some people say that this and that are actually the same ...... I don't understand anyway......"
"And one named Shakyamuni...... It's called Taishang Laojun...... ...... called God of Wealth"
In short, there are too many to count, and those believers, no matter who they believe, will be the same after they are inaugurated. Zeng Li gave the final conclusion.
The two archmages were also well-informed, and they looked at each other for a moment, the goblins just sighed, "What a complicated relationship between the gods", and the halfling expressed his opinion solemnly.
"First of all, since the world merged, our priests have not been able to obtain divine magic, but the gods still respond to the believers. ”
"And then, there are many possibilities for you, and we are really ignorant of theology at best, and if you want to get some constructive advice, your best bet is to come to our library. ”
"Also, try not to bother the clergy of other gods with these questions, in which case the person who is annoyed will be the one who asks the question. ”
"In the end, my view is that there are two possibilities, one is that these gods do not exist yet and may be born in the faith like new gods in the future, and the other is that they don't bother to bother with your ......."
