"Your Excellency, they are ......."

In the inn, after hearing Kalian tell his story, Billy, who was not deeply involved in the world, was extremely angry, when did the Temple of Dawn become something that others could not avoid, and those nobles were damned blasphemers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"They made the right choice, Billy Sacrifice, and don't let anger blind you!"

Seeing Billy's expression, Bishop Kalian knew that he had gotten into the horns of the bull, and hurriedly scolded him, saving him from doing something irreparably wrong in his state of anger. Such self-righteous idealistic thoughts must be pinched out at the first time, and no one wants to let the disaster of the Harvest Temple fall on their own heads.

"But they can't distort the hearts of the people, right?" said Billy, aggrieved.

In his experience, the people's need for faith and the thirst for the teachings of the Lord of Dawn were both strong, so the young priest took it for granted that the current situation of the frozen coast must have been caused by the domination of the nobles over the people's beliefs, and the other party's fear of the entry of his own temple made him even more convinced of this suspicion.

"You don't understand, Billy. This is a frozen coast, and the people's belief in the goddess of winter is much stronger than that of the nobles, who have grown up listening to the legends of the goddess and enjoying the blessings of the goddess, and the teachings of my lord are not suitable here. ”

Looking at Billy's young face, Kalian shook his head helplessly, the young priest had a lot of missionary experience, but here, those experiences could not bring him the slightest help.

"And we're just giving up?" asked Billy, incredulous, hardly believing that the Lord Bishop, whom he admired, flinched in the face of such difficulty.

"What do you mean, who told you we were here to settle the Temple?"

Kalian asked rhetorically with interest, his words causing the young priest to fall into a stupor.

"Huh?" The reacting priest's cheeks were slightly red, and he said in a panic: "Both...... Since it's not, what are we doing here?"

"Oracle. The bishop looked solemn, clearly not joking.

"When are we going to act?" Billy didn't ask about the oracle, knowing it wasn't his job to ask. However, the energy in his body made him eager to follow the bishop to complete the work given by the gods, so even though he knew that his performance was a bit reckless, he still couldn't resist his curiosity and asked for the time.

"Be patient, young man, it's not time yet. ”

The bishop smiled kindly, and the older man was always full of tolerance for the young.

"But ......"

"Would you like to hear me tell a story?" asked Kalian, glancing at the silver outside the window, in a calm tone.

"About my lord?" asked Billy, his eyes lit up with excitement.

"About the goddess. ”

Voices rang out in the room, and the past of the Frozen Coast slowly unfolded in front of Billy......

The frozen coast has few distinct seasons, and most of the time it is covered in snow.

In Mephistopheles' previous life, a place with such a climate was obviously not suitable for the life and reproduction of a large number of people, but in the material world with divine magic and alchemy, the harsh environment could not be a reason to prevent people from cultivating the wasteland, especially when the group of "Wilderness Spinners" appeared.

It is difficult to determine who first arrived on the frozen shores, and the surviving literature only gives a cursory description of the harsh conditions and the spirits of the undead who lived there.

It wasn't until the goddess Eluna succeeded in lighting the divine fire and establishing order in the area that the depictions of the frozen coast gradually increased. And Eluna, who has condensed her own godhood from the fragments of the godhead of the two ancient gods, the Winter Goddess and the Pale Lord, is revered as the goddess of winter.

According to legend, Eluna was born into a family of "Deserters", lost her father at a young age, and her mother remarried several times.

The marriage in the material world is relatively close to the world in Mephistopheles' previous life, and the cheating in marriage is shameful, but there are no laws and customs restrictions on normal divorce and remarriage.

Despite this, divorce is still an uncommon occurrence on the physical continent.

Commoner families rarely get divorced: first, there are children in the middle as a bond of affection, and second, the families are not wealthy, and after this divorce, there may be no chance of next marriage in this life.

Wealthy families and aristocrats are reluctant to divorce, you know, the status of the wife is still very high in the provisions of the law, and when divorced, not only can you share the property, but also part of the husband's social status, compared to this, it is more cost-effective to find a few lovers outside.

It is precisely because of this that the experience of Eluna's mother remarrying many times has made many people who do not know the truth dumbfounded. Only a polymath who truly understands the inside story can know the bitterness behind this strangeness.

I'm afraid no lady wants to remarry more than once, but Eluna's mother had to, because every husband she remarried had died, and she really couldn't afford to raise her alone.

So, for the sake of her daughter, the hard-working mother had to endure the rumors and struggle.

Indeed, simple divorce and remarriage will not arouse ridicule and hostility from others, even if they are more frequent.

However, every time a husband is remarried, a husband dies, not to mention ordinary people with little culture, even well-informed scholars will be very taboo when they hear about it. After all, this lady's marital history can be regarded as the history of victimization of some people.

The reason for this is not how much malice fate has towards this mother, but simply because she is hard.

Because of the problem of remarriage, a lady who is not very outstanding certainly can't marry into a good family, let alone carry a burden of only eating and not working.

Therefore, those who are willing to start a family with a lady are naturally the only "expansers" who are more difficult to marry.

As the name suggests, they are a group of people who are dedicated to reclaiming wild lands and making them suitable for human survival for a long time. They do great things, but their social status is low.

It's not hard to understand that everyone knows that the Great Wall was built to defend against foreign invasions, but what farmer with land to cultivate would look down on these unpredictable levies?

Of course, no one would want to be a member of a profession such as "land expansion", which will be life-threatening anytime and anywhere, and without the social status and remuneration commensurate with its efforts.

Therefore, almost all the "expansers" are forcibly exiled and slaves, and marriage is only a right to reproduce for them, not a means to show off their love.

But even so, the lady's experience was too sensational. They were unwilling to analyze the inside story and reasonableness, but for a time they blamed everything on this poor woman.

They say that she is the bait that the devil has put on the world, and all the men who marry her will be dragged into the abyss by the devil.

Some boring long-tongued women are even more unscrupulous, and even make up a rumor that "she only needs to kill a hundred men to summon a great demon from the abyss and destroy the world!" The sworn appearance was as if Di Mo Gaogen was the nephew of her second cousin's younger brother.

I have to say that such a rumor is a test of the listener's IQ, such a testing task of destroying the world actually fell on the great demon who only has the legendary rank, presumably countless high-level demons are crying and fainting in the abyss, right?

No one with basic knowledge would believe such stupid rumors, but those "expansives" do.

It's not because there are no "clear-eyed people" among them, after all, the original identities of slaves may be varied, not to mention that the perennial "expansion" career has allowed every surviving "expansion" to gain rich insight and experience.

It is a pity that none of these people came forward to explain and defend the lady.

The perennial tragic experience made them resign themselves to their fate and at the same time lost the brilliance that should be in human nature. They like to "watch" the tragic experiences of others in order to inject a little bit of vitality into their numb minds.

As a result, they went around publicizing the woman's experience, using her pain as a talking point with others, showing their "erudition" and "rescuing" many "fools" who tried to marry her.

The people who stood in the sun and wantonly squandered the privacy of others never thought about the situation of the mother and daughter who were "broken" into the demon camp by them.

According to some scholars, that period was the most difficult time for the mother and daughter, and no one was willing to lend a helping hand to them, on the contrary, blows were everywhere.

Even if Eluna only gets a piece of moldy black bread, some "righteous" bastard will come out of a dark corner and knock it out of Eluna's hands, then crush it into mud with his tattered sandal-clad feet.

After all of this, he will feel like the hero of the story who has defeated the demons, and will spend the next few days in bragging and self-aggrandizing with his companions.

He wouldn't have known how precious the black bread he had crushed was to Eluna, and that her mother had been paid for clearing the frozen ground for a day, for which her hands were no longer conscious.

Everyone else was paid soft bread and jerky, but the mother's was a small piece of moldy black bread, but this insignificant piece of food did not make it into her daughter's stomach.

The mother did not mind starving herself, but did not want her daughter to starve with her, so she tried to beg like the others, but to no avail, until the night and the wind and snow came.

In the dilapidated hut, the mother covered her daughter with all the clothes she had on her body, and then took her daughter in her arms. She slashed her wrist with a sharp stone chip and placed it next to her daughter's mouth, who was asleep from hunger......

It snowed so hard that night that it took away the life of a great mother, but it also buried all the evils......
