Chapter 15: The Ash Wood Blood Sacrifice (3)

The original purpose of Aluca was to find some religious texts or chronicles of the kingdom from the collection of Doctor Peter, so that they could better understand the plane. www.biquge.info As the so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible, he believes that knowing more will be very helpful to complete the task safely.

As a personal hobby, he started with the row of books at waist height. Why is it a personal hobby? Because he is lazy, really lazy, lazy beyond the imagination of ordinary people. In order to save effort, he will always choose the most efficient method, and strive to complete everything he can in one operation, so that he does not have to go several times. For example, when he needs to go to Ludi City to buy something, he will definitely buy everything that he may need in the next month, even if this possibility does not actually appear.

Books that were the same height as his waist could be taken down by bending his elbows, so he chose this row. As a result, it turns out that every hard work is a harvest, and even a few books are poetry collections. It is also an ode to the glory and greatness of the lake god, which shows that the poets of this world do not seek to be famous for a hundred years, but only seek political correctness.

In desperation, Arouca set his sights on the top row of bookshelves. In that row of books, there is a hardcover book with a big red cover. In Aluca's experience, the content of such books is more nutritious. After all, in this world where printing has not yet been invented, the cost of each hardcover book is relatively high.

The moment she saw the title of the book, Aluca knew that she had judged correctly, and on the cover of the book was written "Introduction to the Theology of Ainos" in large letters. The continent of St. Ainos in the Overworld...... Ainos Coins between the Ends...... Introduction to the Theology of Ainos at this time...... Instead of being surprised by the appearance of the name, Aluca immediately had an assumption. That is, "Ainos" is also a god, and even higher in rank than the powerful main gods such as the sun god and the moon god, which have many believers. If it weren't for that, why would he use his own name to name the continent of the main world? Even the most powerful god of light on the continent was not qualified to do so.

Moreover, the establishment between this Ainos and the end must have a certain connection, and at the same time, it is also related to the plane where the ancient gods are hidden. However, the preface of this "Introduction to the Theology of Ainos" introduces that the author, Ainos, was only a priest of the Lake God Cult in this world, and he had a profound influence on the study of theology, and was not a god.

It is reasonable to speculate that Ainos, who wrote the Introduction to Theology, was some kind of incarnation of the ontology, like Edward, the administrator of the Ultimate. But why did He come to the Present Place? And why did He write this theological overview? Wasn't He a god himself? Was there something wrong with his own speculation?

With the information obtained so far, Aluka could not know the truth, so she had to continue reading. The book systematically divides the gods into two categories: the material and the spiritual. Among them, the main gods of the material category are mainly natural gods, that is, gods of mountains, lakes, winds, thunder and other gods who control natural phenomena. The spiritual ones include the god of war, the god of love, the god of light, and so on. There is no mention of how the gods were born, and Aluca suspects that Ainos is deliberately concealing it, but is not sure. After all, from the point of view of believers, they are not qualified to study the origin of the Lord God, and if they do this, they will undoubtedly be thrown into the Inquisition.

The first half of the book is mainly about the abilities and beliefs of some of the main gods of this world, and the lake god is one of them. There are also mountain gods, lava gods, and thunder gods, each of which has its own nation of blood, presenting a four-legged situation. The kingdom of Ryk, which believes in the god of the lake, is the weakest, and the strongest is the kingdom of Laiva, which believes in the god of lava. This is mainly because the divine power of the lava god has given the kingdom of Laiwa a smelting technology beyond the era, and its military strength has completely crushed other countries.

And in the second half of the book, a study of the ancient gods appears in a surprising way. It turns out that there are not only blood gods in this world, but also some other ancient gods, most of whom were discovered and killed by the believers of the four main gods, and there were even cases where the main gods themselves appeared and made a move. According to the description in the book, the strength of the ancient gods mainly comes from the strange and unpredictable abilities of their abilities, and the destructive power is not too strong. However, it is still difficult for mortals to kill the Old Gods unless they find their weaknesses.

This is what Aluca considers to be the most important part of the Introduction to the Theology of Ainos. Ainos believed that if a mortal encounters an ancient god, he must die a life, and he is completely unable to resist the power of the ancient gods. But if you find the weakness of the old gods, even a three-year-old child can kill the old gods. He also gave an example, which is a legend dating back 200 years:

There was once an ancient god who developed a lot of power in the kingdom of Sander, which was established by the followers of Thor. This ancient god can give believers invulnerability to fire and water, and when believers are attacked, their bodies will automatically transform into a substance suitable for resisting attacks. For example, if you are struck by a sword, your body will turn into a hard rock, and if you are burned by fire, your body will turn into water.

In the end, Thor had to deal with the old god himself, but he didn't succeed in killing him, but only seriously injured the old god and forced him to hide. Who knew that history is always full of drama, and the old god was hidden in a dwelling at the time. One night, the family's seven-year-old boy ran to the base of the wall to pee in the middle of the night, not noticing a jelly-like thing curled up at the base of the wall...... As soon as the urine is soaked, the ancient gods who are invulnerable to water and fire are corroded and dissipated.

Not every Old God died so tragically, but Aluka speculated that they all possessed a fatal weakness that would be easy to deal with if it could be discovered. It can be seen that the ancient gods only have a god in their names and have some wonderful abilities, but they are far from the real gods. Don't say that the main gods, even the inferior gods and divine servants do not have such ridiculous weaknesses, they are all powerful creatures that are truly above all things. So mortals do have a chance to kill the Old Gods, and it was only then that Alucca truly believed Edward's explanation of the God-Parching Game - he would never trust anyone easily. However, believing this part of Edward's words, Aluca became suspicious of the other part, which needs to be verified in the future.

After thinking about it for a moment, he had an idea in his head to deal with the ancient gods. Even modestly, there are hundreds of mystery novels that Aluka has read, and decryption is his forte. Even if the result of failure is a life, he has no pressure. For him, fun always trumps fear.

When I looked up, I didn't know it was dusk. Aluca is very engaged in reading, always forgetting the time and not thinking about it.

At this time, Sinong also ended his visit and returned to the hospital. When Aluka saw him enter the door, he hurriedly asked, "Brother Xinong, have you gained anything?"

Xinong shook his head in frustration and said, "It's just that I got some more information, but there is no side quest you said." ”

Aluka was not in a hurry, and said: "It seems that it is not time yet, after we repel the first wave of attacks of the Green Lake Knights, the side quest should appear." ”

"It looks like you're not scared at all. ”

"Hehe, being calm is my way of doing things, and never regretting it is my attitude towards life. And it's not like I'm not scared, I'm still anxious, excited, and confused...... But I can pretend not. ”

Sinong gave Aluca a deep look and said, "You're amazing...... It's not too early, so let's hurry up and go to the hotel to meet the national teacher. ”

"Wait. Aluka stopped Xinon as he was about to go out, "Have you ever asked when the Blood God first appeared in Greywood Village? I don't think it will be too long, otherwise the Lake God Cult would have found out long ago." ”

"Yes, about seventy years ago...... I understand, you are suspicious of the village chief Feide, he is indeed very suspicious, the whole village is like that ghost, only he is normal. It's a pity that the time is not right. ”

Arouca said noncommittally: "Maybe there are other reasons. ”

As the two were talking, footsteps could be heard from upstairs. Dr. Peter came down with a pot of strange plants, presumably some kind of natural medicine, and when he saw the two of them, he asked, "What are you talking about?

Sinon smiled kindly, but didn't reply, not knowing if telling Dr. Peter about these things would break the rules of the end. Who knew that Aluka said bluntly: "To tell you the truth, a few of our mercenaries are not capable of repelling the Green Lake Knights. So we plan to find out the blood god, capture the thief and capture the king first, if the Green Lake Knights find the culprit, they will not embarrass Gray Wood Village, this is more than a hundred potential believers. And if the Blood God died, the villagers of Greywood Village would have no reason to fight against the Lake God Sect, and it seemed that the reason why they believed in the Blood God was only for the sake of profit. I have to say that in such a barren and impoverished place, it is very important not to be starved to death or sick.

Judging from the current intelligence, I am more suspicious of the village chief Feide, he seems too normal in this completely abnormal village. It's a pity that Brother Xinong just told me that the Blood God appeared as early as seventy years ago, and the village chief Feide was not born at that time, and he did not come to Gray Wood Village, which is really disappointing. ”

Dr. Peter exclaimed, "No, Uncle Feld...... I don't believe he's a god of blood. But one thing you don't know is that Ashwood Village has always been under the jurisdiction of Uncle Fed's family, which is why his father was exiled here. However, before his father was exiled, it was run by retainers hired by them. ”

"Look, I'll just say there's something else. Aluca looked at Sinong and smiled, "If the biggest suspect we deduce is not the slightest chance, then it is hell." The blood god has probably controlled the family of the village chief of Feide a long time ago, and with the ability of the gods, it is still very simple to steal the beams and change the pillars. ”

"But I still don't believe that Uncle Feder will ......," said Dr. Peter, with a bitter look on his face, "he is probably the last person I will ever see on earth." ”

"That's not something you need to think about, Dr. Peter. Even if we confirm the identity of the village chief, we don't need your participation when we do it, and you don't have to have any psychological burden. Aluka relieved, "Brother Sinon, let's go." ”

Xinon nodded, turned around to open the door, and at this moment, Aluka lowered his voice as if he suddenly remembered something, and said, "Brother Xinong, if things develop to the point where you have to burn down the whole village as I said, can you do it?"

Xinon didn't expect that when the identity of the blood god could be discovered, Aruka would mention it, and replied with a little unhappiness: "These villagers are innocent and good people, brother, and some people enthusiastically took out the treasured wine at home to entertain me. They look a little strange, but their souls are pure, I hope ......"

"But I'll do it. Arouca interrupted Cinon, "Whatever you think, I'm going to do it when the time comes, and you'd better not stop me." ”

“...... I don't want to continue on this topic, and I can't make any guarantees to you. ”

The two walked out of the hospital in an awkward atmosphere.
