Evas and the Dwarven Hammer can be said to have a good conversation, and soon entered the stage of calling each other brothers.

Haina's father and Ivus are both third-level, but one is a blacksmith and the other is a priest. They all belong to the path of dedication, have similar personalities, and still have some common language.

Ivus didn't know much about dwarves. It was also through the content of the magnetic hammer's chat that I gradually understood why the conflict between the dwarves and the elves was so intense.

Elves and dwarves are both devotion and polytheistic races, which is why there are such strong and uncompromising ethnic conflicts—just like the Avalons and giants, the children of the moon, and the werewolves.

However, Si Zhu is the oldest pillar god of the dedication path, and it is not like the authoritarian path and the path of love have changed bosses.

But even so, following the same path and following different gods at the end of the path...... Heretics are more hateful than heretics.

The blacksmith who dedicates the path is the profession of the Flame Celestial Division, just as the Fallen Celestial Division controls the Demon Scholar. The power comes from the demonic scholars of the Fallen Heaven Division, and there is also a natural hostility towards the spell mages whose power comes from the snake father.

Flame Celestial is the second most powerful god of the Path, ruling over the realms of fire, steel, and forging. It's on fire, and it's getting stronger.

Because with the development of the times and the development of the industrial revolution, she is constantly actively devouring—or assimilating other celestial priests and apostles on the path. The size of its field continues to grow.

Ivus remembers that she would soon receive the power of "steam" and would continue to move towards "firearms" and "machines" after about four or five years. By version 6.0, the version where his adoptive father was the boss, the dwarves who had been dormant for many years were about to step onto the world stage on a large scale.

Flames spread and rise, and Flame Celestial Division also has the power to transcend the path.

It was because of the Crown Celestial Division, who once possessed the power of transcendence, that he defeated the Supreme Heaven and became the Dragon of the Silver Crown...... Even though there is the participation of Si Zhu and the elves in this process, the Flame Sky Division is also feared by the elves.

After all, this is what has already happened, and this is a proven path. Nothing is impossible.

From the point of view of the elves of the older generation, those Celestial Divisions with transcendent powers are very dangerous.

Because since the beast master "resigned" and the supreme heaven "resigned", the world has become much more peaceful.

There are no dangerous monsters that roam the wilderness, actively attacking everyone and even directly attacking towns, and there are no fanatics in the world who ignore law and morality and kill people, eat people, and hurt people at will just to show the power of force.

Although there are still wars, the world has become good in general.

Now the elves only want to maintain the status quo - unlike the beast lord and the supreme heaven, the nine existing pillar gods are all relatively friendly. Then in a stable environment, any change is unfavorable.

- This is where the elves' strong hostility towards the dwarves comes from.

Because the dwarves are not only Faith Flame Celestials. They believe in six gods, including the Shadow Tenji of the Path of Love, the Iwatenji of the Dusk Path, and the Ring of the Heavens of the Transcendent Path...... All of them are celestials, and there is not a single pillar god.

Judging by the words of the Hammer Brother, Evas noticed that the dwarves were very keen to strengthen their gods, and were proud of it—

It's pretty weird, and it's very rolly.

Because in this world, faith does not bring strength. Whether it's an apostle, a celestial, or a pillar god...... None of these high-ranking illusions need followers.

If they respond to rituals or empower them, it is because they are interested in it and willing to take a mortal with them. For this reason, faith is essentially the freedom of the individual...... That's why the elves worship the Nine Pillars God at the same time.

Because everyone naturally has their own tendencies, preferences, and needs, and the Nine Pillar Gods are equal among each other.

There is no one path more powerful or holy—to preach this concept would only lead to pointless wars among believers, and they are acting on their own initiative, without the approval and help of the Boss above.

It's like a fan of getting out of control.

If the Supreme Heaven were still there, it would be different. He himself includes the concepts of "ruling by strength" and "doing as you please by the strongest", which is why the giants eat all other races, including the elves.

- But the dwarves are different from all other races.

"The purpose of our faith is to be rewarded."

The hammer was unashamed, and even proudly said, "For what we have given to the gods is not just respect and glory, but real power!" That's a lot more than those with long ears! ”

Dwarves have a strong sense of race.

They will consciously raise their clan's belief in those who do not belong to the Nine Pillars of God or the apostles, especially those who have fewer followers or are weaker, and then do their best to help them ascend higher in the time dimension of thousands of years or more.

And the purpose is to get a better return and a clearer preference.

The wise king will one day leave them, and the mighty force and technology will be overtaken by the other nations. Even if you rule many territories, sooner or later there will be internal divisions; Even if there is a glorious history, it may be gradually forgotten by future generations of unscrupulous children.

In the long dimension of time, anything can be reduced to nothingness. All inheritance may not be passed on.

"But only the gods are immortal."

The dwarf raised his fist solemnly, saluting the void.

Faith doesn't make the gods stronger, though. But there will always be ways to help them.

For example, to perform certain extremely complex and spectacular spectacle rituals in the material realm, or to make certain concepts flourish or die, to strengthen or weaken such concepts.

This is not useful to the Nine Pillars God, but it is still useful to the Celestial Division and the Apostles.

And the higher-level phantoms are all wise.

Even if the dwarves lick the dogs a little, they will react if they lick them for thousands of years—at least they won't be able to get used to it.

Some are grateful for gratitude, some are deeply moved, and some are fair trades...... But anyway, the dwarf really licked it. The gods they revere now have a clear preference for dwarves. And the dwarves are waiting for one of them to be promoted to the pillar god.

- Dad, I don't want to work hard to become a rich generation, otherwise you can work hard to make me a rich second generation.

…… Pour and pour is also a way of thinking.

In order to maintain the purity of his position, there are not many temples of the Nine Pillar Gods in the Eternal Frost Empire - and even if there are, they are all "specialized temples". It was the kind of utilitarian temple that was dedicated to a single god for a certain purpose.

Because it's too utilitarian, it's more of a part-time job than a faith...... And it's a faith-based part-time job. It is the kind of family inheritance company that "employees are proud of".

Ivus finally understood why the elves regarded the dwarves as an "evil race". Because of the transcendent nature of these celestial divisions, the stronger they are, the more anxious the elves become; And the dwarves are still firmly and persistently helping their bosses grow - the purpose is self-evident.

Other races will seek the refuge of some of the Celestials, but certainly not as desperately and utilitarianly as the Dwarves do - they are not simply worshipping these Celestials, but "investing" in them.

They weren't trying to be Avalons, they were going to be griffins.

Not the people of the pillar god, but the darling of the pillar god.

…… And according to Ivus's peek into the future, the dwarves' plan really succeeded.

In the current version, many elves will even turn around and walk away when they see a dwarf on the road.

Therefore, if there are many dwarves in an area, there is a high probability that there will not be any elves to travel and spend. is also because the elves are rich, which has led to many dwarves being discriminated against by other races in disguise.

And when this hatred chain returns, it causes many dwarves to look down on the elves even if they don't like it.

Although this state of mutual hatred is not called hatred, and there is no inter-ethnic war, it is already a state of regional discrimination between them.

Although there are blacksmiths among the elves, the elves are not forbidden to borrow the power of the Celestial Division at all. It is simply a requirement that priority must be given to the Nine Pillars God to maintain the first priority of respect.

In the eyes of the dwarves who have not yet made a career, this is the belief that the elves are arrogant and look down on their race - but in fact, the dwarves also recognize the power and nobility of the elves from the heart.

Therefore, these elves who walk on the same path as the dwarves will be considered by the dwarves as "rare normal people among the elves" and "good elves who have no shelf and can communicate". In addition, those human blacksmiths who have passed on their skills by the elven blacksmiths will also become "their own people" in the eyes of the dwarves.

"That's why you raised Haina and Jack......"

Ivas suddenly said, "That's why you're passing on your skills to Jack - and don't want Haina to go to the royal capital?" ”

"Not really, brother."

The magnetic hammer touched his beard and replied sincerely: "I really don't have a wife or children." She saved my life, and it's my duty to help her.

"But I really don't want Haina to go to the royal capital - even if she doesn't inherit her father's dedication to the path, can't she be an ordinary person? Or maybe I also have a career on the Twilight Path...... It's rare that the power of the Dusk Path is so strong here. ”

The dwarf said angrily.

Ivas casually asked, "Speaking of which, what is Hayna's mother's name?" ”

The dwarf looked at him suspiciously.

"Isn't that Hayna's mother?"

…… Well?

Ivus was stunned for a moment.

Then the dwarf reacted, explaining, "Many of the villagers in this village have no names...... Except for the children born in these years. ”

"No...... Name? ”

Ivus was completely taken aback this time.
