ps: Thank you to Aguy, the horse in the sea for the tip, and thank you to new and old readers for the recommendation votes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info really want to know how to get a referral bit, my poor collection?!
As the legendary goddess who conceived the earth, Gaia, the Mother of the Earth, has existed for a long time beyond verifiability, and her power exceeds the normal division of gods, in fact, the Mother Earth has crossed a certain boundary and no longer relies on the power of faith, and believers are not necessary for her.
She was also completely liberated from her priesthood, not limited to specific doctrines, but merely sheltered by her worshippers, and was recognized as one of the most tolerant deities. Of course, she still likes to show miracles from time to time to show her presence.
She is also the only ancient deity who does not need followers, but is still active. In fact, in today's decline of the gods, it is also because of her existence that some people dare not do too much.
In her teachings, the world's strife and wars were often caused by people not having enough to eat and clothe, so she firmly believed that as long as there was enough food, the wars would be eliminated.
That's how Harvest City got its name. It is an ancient city that is said to have been founded during the reign of the ancient gods before the age of the wizards. Countless years, countless wars, under the protection of Mother Earth, the city still stands.
Unlike the model of governance that Muen had seen before, there was no nobleman or king in the city, only a town hall to ensure the management and operation of the city, and the real ruler of the city was the church of Mother Earth.
Yes, it was a ******** city, everything was owned by the gods, and the high priest of the temple was not only the head of the church, but also the actual ruler of the city.
This is the only city in the entire continent of Veku that exists in such a form of government.
If it were another Church of the Gods, Nuke wouldn't even suggest going to help. Because, as long as Dafan is involved in wizards, not to mention assistance, most of the churches directly arrested them and burned them at the stake. But perhaps because of its unique tolerance, or perhaps because it was not destroyed during the wizarding era, Mother Earth Church is one of the few churches that does not make it clear that wizards are nightmares.
However, because there was no need for the expansion of the church, nor did it require the expansion of believers like other churches, the church of Mother Earth was notoriously lenient, and the priests of each temple had more autonomy.
In other words, now, whether he is willing to help or not depends on whether the high priest of this temple is willing or not, which is also the thing that Aya is most worried about.
But Nuke still had a lot of confidence, and he took a breath with some difficulty, and then said, "Don't worry, have you forgotten that I insisted on dragging the corpses of the 'Six-armed Snake Demon' and the 'Emerald Hills Blade Mantis' here? ”
"Although Mother Earth does not need believers, she also cares about the worship of believers, as a god of order and goodness, she naturally hates the existence of demons, and the worship of a six-armed snake demon is enough for her to send down a lot of divine grace, I don't believe that the high priest is not moved. ”
"I hope so!"
......
As a city old enough, the streets of Harvest City are a bit complicated, but the temple of Mother Earth is really too tall, it is the most obvious guiding sign, although William has not been here, but he has recognized the direction, and galloped along the road, with a hideous six-armed snake demon head 'open the way', and the speed of travel is quite fast.
When they arrived, there was already a tall and thin silver-robed priest who had been waiting for a long time, and Nuke was not surprised, just with the corpses of the two transcendental-level monsters outside the city, it was enough to attract the attention of some big people in the temple, and as the existence of the main temple, with the power of the gods, the entire harvest city was in the field of vision of some people.
After a few words with the silver-robed priest, Nuke asked William to watch the carriage and led Aya into the temple.
The witch's outfit was quite distinctive, but the silver-robed priest didn't say much, as if he hadn't seen it, which was a special signal, and the two of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It seemed that the priest was of such a high position, and with him leading the way, the temple warriors along the way were not hindered, and after entering through a side door, they walked along a corridor with beautiful frescoes towards the depths of the temple, and walked for more than ten minutes before stepping into a huge temple.
The first thing I see is a tall statue of a god, almost reaching the top of the house, looking down at the world with a look at the world as if it were alive, as if it were a mother looking at her child.
However, if you want to observe more closely, you can only find that except for this look, the others are like seeing flowers in the fog, and they are hazy and unreal.
Facing this idol, both Aya and Nuke were a little surprised, this is the real god god statue, containing a little will of the gods, it is the eyes of the gods, and it is extremely precious. Nuke knelt directly on one knee, beat his chest with his right hand, and performed a warrior's courtesy, and Aya also took off her hat and bent her knees slightly to show respect.
For this deity, even if you don't believe in it, you must maintain respect!
"May Mother Earth bless you!" the silver-robed priest smiled, showing his kindness, and continued, "Let's hurry! ”
The temple was large and long, and when a few people came to the statue, they found a priest in a golden robe.
Maybe it's because he looks a little inconspicuous under the statue, but when you really get close and see him, you will find that he is so splendid, like a giant shrouded in light, yes, he deserves the title of giant.
Although the skeleton is well-proportioned, he is really tall, at least five meters tall, even if Nuke stands next to him, he is like a child watching from the sidelines, he can only look up.
Giant?!ang or giant blood?
Nuok was a little surprised, you know, even with the vast Atlanta continent, giants, including half-giants, are extremely rare races, although they are similar to humans, but they are far taller and stronger than humans, and they are born with mysterious powers, and they are a perfect race comparable to the dragon race.
In the distant past, giants were even directly seen as divine beings.
Even with Nuuk's knowledge, he had only heard of the legend of the giant, but he had not seen it, but this was obviously not the time to be surprised, and when he came closer, he bowed slightly, performed a warrior's courtesy, and raised his voice and said: "Your Honorable High Priest, my name is Nuuk Gintim, a second-order barbarian and sharpshooter, and a first-class earl of the Kingdom of Soros, who has come to the Temple of Mother Earth for help. ”
In the Mother Earth Church, gold is honored, so those who can wear golden robes in the temple must be extremely noble people, although Nuke does not know the specific identity of the other party, but it is absolutely not wrong to call him the high priest.
"My name is Hisy Priest, the chief priest of the Temple of the Mother Goddess of the Earth of Harvest City, and the patron of the Mother Goddess. In the light, the giant leaned forward slightly, revealing a face that I don't know how to describe, at first glance it should be old!
Layers of wrinkles are dense, but with resolute eyes, a wide forehead, and a square face, people can feel his rigidity, as hard as steel.
This is a sentence that is very informative, and both Nuok and the witch can't help but be stunned, and the two can't help but glance at each other, with incredible shock.
In a temple, only the highest-ranking priest can be called the high priest, and only the high priest who receives the most attention from the gods is called the chief priest. You know, for a pastor, the attention of the gods is everything. From this point of view, this giant is already the uncrowned king of the entire Harvest City.
Of course, the identity of the main priest is nothing in front of the gods.
As the name suggests, only the most devout and potential believers are likely to be endowed with a little divinity by the gods and have the qualifications to be called gods.
The Divine Beings, the spokesmen of the gods on earth, are destined to become the beings of the Holy Spirit, and they can even communicate directly with the will of the gods. Even if it is a god, it is impossible to give too many gods, and it is already great that every god has a god in a period.
Nuuk thought that he was only receiving him for the high priest, but he did not expect the giant to meet the god of Mother Earth directly, he humbly knelt on one knee, beat his chest with his right hand, bowed his head and said: "Nuuk Jintim, with his companion witch Aya, to meet His Majesty the god of God, please forgive me for my previous rudeness." ”
One of the rules of the profession: you must be humble in front of the powerful!
Although he didn't know much about the world above the transcendental, the giant in front of him was definitely extraordinary, and even the above existence, and it was even possible that he had stepped into the legendary realm of the extreme powerhouse.
It is undeniable that the reason why he marched in a high-profile manner was actually to attract the attention of the Mother Earth Temple, but he did not expect to attract such an existence. And no matter how many words he had thought of before, the giant's mere identification had suppressed all his momentum and calculations.
Even as a wizard who does not deal with the gods, Aya consciously put down the witch wand and performed the highest etiquette of a wizard.
"Get up, don't be too restrained!" the giant's voice could no longer be described as loud, like the roar of the 'Roar' skill, but he was really speaking in the most ordinary way.
"My eyes have already penetrated the distance, and I have seen the corpse of the 'Emerald Hills Knife Mantis' outside the city, and I have also seen the headless, ridiculous six-armed snake demon, and even your dying partner outside the temple, I understand your intention, you want me to save your partner. ”
"But, I'm more curious about what happened to you? IMHO, I've evaluated your strength, but whether it's a super-level demonic beast or a high-level demon, it's an existence that you can't match. Even, even if those two fight to the death first, I don't think you have the strength to pick up the leaks.
Even if you have a little wizard!"
(That's probably the main reason you met with us?!)
Nuke had some speculation in his heart, but he answered truthfully: "The 'Emerald Hills Mantis' died under the magma sword of the six-armed snake demon, we just killed the six-armed snake demon, there was the element of coincidence, there was the contempt of the six-armed snake demon, and there was also the fight for the life of my companions, no matter what we succeeded."
If Your Majesty wants to know the full story of what happened, I can explain it to you in detail later, and now, if you can save our companions first, I am willing to pay tribute to the 'Emerald Hill Knife Mantis' and the 'Six-armed Snake Demon' outside the city. ”
"Have mercy on Mother Earth!" (To be continued.) )
