"Why do you have such a strange idea? Why do you think that Mother Gaia gave up on Brass Dwarves just because they weren't sincere enough, simply because they were dazzled by the Burning Gold fan? ”

In the dark valley, Murphy, who was waiting for his loyal and brave players to be resurrected, took the time to go to the hut where the silver dwarf supreme lord Ofg was, and Murphy, who had always been interested in faith and gods, finally asked the doubts in his heart, but made the lord of Ofg sigh.

The little old man and dwarf, who had lived so long that he looked very old, and even his body was rickety, touched his white beard that mopped the floor, and he sighed and said:

"It seems that this is also the explanation of other forces on the continent for the loss of the brass dwarves, but this view is one-sided and incorrect."

"Look, I'm not in a hurry, and you're recuperating right now."

Murphy reached out and took out a glass of flying wine and poured it for the Supreme Lord himself, he glanced at the other two Earth Guards guarding the room, and felt in his heart that Gaia's preference for the Silver Dwarf was indeed terrifying.

Counting these two gold-level earth guards, just what Murphy knows so far, there are no less than three golden powerhouses in the Silver Fort alone.

He said:

"So, could you please explain to me the trick of that? We vampires have no faith and are hated by most of the gods, but I am one of the more special ones. I've always been interested in the little secrets of the gods. ”

"But you can ask Archduke Trace, who is the best and most eminent theologian on the continent, and I have heard that you have done what countless men have desired but have not been able to do, and that you have won the affection of Archduke Trace.

What a match made in heaven.

While I've had unpleasant encounters with the Scarlet Witch in the past, who has infiltrated Silver Castle in an attempt to steal our Earth Grail, I have to admit that there is probably no one who has studied the mysteries of the gods more deeply than Archduke Triss.

It was this research that made her one of the most dangerous vampires of the last era. ”

Lord Ofg did not refuse the Tellancian wine, he smiled and took the glass of wine and sniffed it under his nostrils, even the eyes that were always squinted under the cover of longevity eyebrows opened a little.

I have to say that this supreme lord of the silver dwarf is really a dwarven elder with a sense of kindness, so much so that when Xiao Wei Ming saw him for the first time, he even exclaimed, "The Christmas dwarf is by my side".

The calmness and kindness tempered in time make him really affinity.

In contrast to the overly rude stinky nature of the other dwarves, the High Lord in front of him, armed with Gaia's artifact, looked like a learned man.

Faced with his doubts, Murphy shrugged his shoulders and said very bluntly:

Tracey's explanation of these things is from a third-party perspective, but the answers given by you, who are most closely associated with Mother Earth, are undoubtedly the correct answers. So please tell me, what the hell does Mother Gaia think about this?

I won't hide it from you, I have been in contact with the Mother Goddess, and I don't want to break His taboo and mess things up in the next cooperation, and the next black plague will need everyone to work together to fight it.

Solidarity is an important part. ”

"Well, that makes sense, well, for the sake of this good wine, I can explain a little bit."

Lord Ofg drank the contents of his glass, but with a thud Murphy took out a crate full of the best wine he had ever taken from Treasure Bay, and he handed it to the High Lord, saying:

"Don't explain a little. We're not in a hurry, you can start with the cause and effect. ”

"Well, it's really hard to imagine that after this tragedy, the most curious person about its truth is actually a vampire without faith."

Lord Ofg shook his head.

He motioned for Murphy to bring him another cup of this peculiar-tasting "sauce technology", and touched his beard, like those old men, trying to find a suitable beginning for this story, but then, he started directly from the result:

"There are also warriors in the Valley of the Shadows who have been withdrawn by the Brass Dwarves, and as you can tell from the altar where they worship Mother Gaia, not all Brass Dwarves have lost the attention of Mother Gaia.

Therefore, this excommunication of faith is not a tragedy that happened to an entire race, it is simply a painful act that Gaia's mother had to take to protect herself.

In our dwarven faith, although the dwarves were not created by Gaia's mother, we are indeed Gaia's family.

We are born with the gift of perceiving the earth and mobilizing its power, which proves that our adaptability to our mother is perfect, and as a result, the dwarves have become one of the most spiritually connected races on the continent.

It's an honor.

You know, Mother Earth is not a god of faith.

He appeared in the world long before the Dwarven civilization appeared, Mother Gaia did not need the faith of the Dwarves to exist, He was born a great deity, and we Dwarves were only dependents and followers to Mother Gaia, not necessary.

This is in stark contrast to Vam's relationship with the barbarians.

Mother Gaia does not need mortal faith to maintain her greatness, but at the behest of our dwarves, Mother Gaia finally embraces our faith as her connection to the dwarves.

This is a very risky thing for those gods who are born great.

Because faith is a two-way street.

Believers will gain strength and blessings from the worship of gods, and they will become better beings according to the instructions of the canon, and the gods will be changed by the convergence of mortal beliefs, and when all believers desire their gods to maintain justice, even evil gods such as the Lord of the Hunt will be forced into the realm of good gods.

Therefore, the very fact that Mother Gaia accepted our faith is a testament to Mother Goddess's kindness and love for us.

In order to better guide us, He is willing to allow himself to be connected by faith, which also gives the Mother Goddess some of the qualities of believing in God and their weaknesses!

Faith can be used not only to connect believers with the gods, but in extreme cases, it can also be used to harm the gods. ”

Offge sighed, he drank a glass of wine, and whispered:

"The Brass Dwarves were once as sincere as us Silver Dwarves, we were the priests of the Mother Goddess, proclaiming the majesty of the Mother Goddess on the earth, and they were the guardians of the Mother Goddess, defending the shrine and place of faith of the Mother Mother Earth Goddess in the world.

The Frost Dwarf is the hunter of the Mother Goddess, punishing all villains who disrespect the Mother Goddess in the world, which is not only the different responsibilities created by our different skin colors and different strengths, but also the blessing of the Mother Goddess who wants to see the dwarves thrive.

Everything was going according to Gaia's mother's expectations, until the brass dwarves, with the help of the halflings, discovered the mystery of burning gold.

That thing.

Although it is also buried underground, it is not the creation of the Mother Goddess, who warned the Brass Dwarves when they first began to collect gold on a large scale.

It is the fruit of dangerous forces.

Indeed, the burning of gold itself is harmless, although it comes from the subspace, its convergence in the material world allows it to cleanse the background of chaos and evil, and become a highly effective and incredible energy polymer.

However, the magical nature of burning gold causes some very strange phenomena when it is piled up in large quantities.

It amplifies emotions and desires, just as it accelerates all energy processes perfectly.

Even the principle is the same. ”

Lord Ofg finally told the foreigners the biggest hidden danger of burning gold.

This used to be the Brass Dwarf's greatest secret, but now that the Brass Dwarf has been expelled from the "Righteous Dwarf" sequence by Gaia, as Gaia's chief priest, Ovg can finally share these dangerous things without any pressure.

He said:

"We still don't know why the shadows of subspace gave birth to the burning of gold in the physical world, but it is certain that by the time we discovered this disturbing property of burning gold, the brass dwarves had gone too far on this path.

They relied on burning gold to grow strong quickly, and even built an undefeated brass fortress to put an end to the threat of the Black Plague once and for all.

Their friends, the halflings, were protected and began to take the initiative to help the Brass Dwarves use the power of the Burning Gold, and the two races joined forces to monopolize the Burning Gold trade, which allowed them to earn enough to buy half the continent.

However, while they are using the burning gold wantonly, those wonderful things are also affecting them.

The brass dwarves began to become more and more indulgent, more and more resistant to Gaia's dogma, their crime rate began to increase, and the number of sinful dwarves in exile increased, and it was ironic that the desire to burn gold amplified the number of brass dwarves instead.

Far from declining because of this indulgence, they grew stronger.

I have persuaded Hadran countless times, but he is a High Lord, and he has his ideas, alas, their situation cannot really be called pollution, Lord Murphy.

The brass dwarves never switched to other faiths, they were just made so reluctant to return to their original simplicity by the constant release of their desires, and the more they came into contact with the dwarves, the more obvious their tendency in this regard.

On the contrary, those low-level dwarves who don't have much contact with burning gold can barely maintain their beliefs, so let's put it this way, maybe this mass depravity was caused by burning gold at the beginning, but then the intensification has little to do with burning gold.

Really pushing the brass dwarf farther and farther away."

"It's wealth, money, greed."

Murphy replied to Lord Ofg, who nodded wordlessly, drank the third glass of the day, and said:

"It was a key that opened the desire in my heart, and it was out of control from then on.

The once simple happiness can no longer satisfy the emptiness in the heart, so it can only be intensified.

You haven't been to the Brass Fortress, so you may not know the casinos, the Liquor of the Fallen, and the slaves of all races that have been quietly bought back hidden in the shadows of the Dwarven Trade Zone.

In case you didn't know, one of the biggest buyers of Shadow Elf slave traders is the Brass Fortress Minerals Company.

This phenomenon has been going on for a long time.

To be honest, I had long expected Gaia's final abandonment of the Brass Dwarf, not because the Mother Goddess was ruthless, but because he had to do it, otherwise he would be affected by the hedonism and consumerism of the Brass Dwarves, which would cause the Mother Goddess to change her personality.

For the gods, losing oneself is a terrible thing. ”

"Well, I actually have a different opinion on that."

Murphy whispered:

"Please forgive a vampire for being rude on the matter of the gods, but I think Mother Earth has missed a wonderful opportunity.

I mean, if she had been more enlightened and had understood the transformation of the Brass Dwarves and embraced it, maybe Mother Gaia would have had a new priesthood like 'deals', 'wealth' and 'fairness'.

This will not destroy her strength, but will give her more advantages on the battlefield of subspace. ”

"What a terrible thought!"

Ovg's eyes widened in astonishment, but he did not deny it, and after a few seconds of thought, he sighed and said:

"The Mother Goddess symbolizes the earth, and the earth is always calm and stubborn, always refusing to change, no more such topics, Lord Murphy. Let's talk a little deeper, and I'll have to pick up the warhammer and smash your heretic's head in the name of Mother Earth. ”

"Okay, okay, I'm wrong."

Murphy waved his hand and asked:

"According to you, the Brass Dwarves are not a mass depravity, they have essentially gone from being believers to being unbelievers who care about money, right? So do they still have a chance to be rescued? ”

"Of course, Mother Gaia is always merciful, as long as the brass dwarves can return to the simple times they once were."

Offge smiled and said helplessly:

"But you and I both know that it's impossible. After the poor boy in the countryside has entered the city and experienced the prosperity of the big city and those wonderful things, it is difficult for him to be willing to return to his hometown to live a life of pure heart and few desires. ”

"Tsk, I think you have something to say."

Murphy said in a subtle tone:

"So, are you suggesting that this is the truth about the birth of Marshal Loren? Your son was dazzled by the glitz and glamour of human society and eventually turned away from the dwarves? ”

No, he just fell in love with a woman he shouldn't love, and what's even crazier is that the woman who was so erosive in the first half of her life actually chose to abandon the prodigal life she adhered to because of this love. They really changed for each other, and they were blessed with love. ”

Lord Ofg was a little lonely, and whispered a little tiredly:

Then a blind stereotypical old man played the role of the villain, ruthlessly tearing apart this fairy tale of love between humans and dwarves.

The infatuated dwarven prince is exiled, the infatuated human lady dies of heartbreak, and the child born in grief learns to hate from the very beginning of life.

I've done a lot of things in my life, Lord Murphy, and throwing my grandson into hell with my own hands is the most regrettable act of my life.

However, I am a High Lord.

I always have to sacrifice something in order to uphold the sacred tradition.

Just as you may face this difficult choice in the future, at that point, remember the lesson of my bad old man. Never destroy good things to achieve your goals, that will only lead to ugly endings. ”

"So, every time you talk to an old man full of wisdom, you always have a motto for life, and that's already some kind of tradition, right?"

Murphy blinked his eyes and said to the Silver Dwarf High Lord, who was no longer able to drink due to weakness and injury:

"Although it smells of old manhood, I would like to thank you for your teachings, especially the story of Mother Earth and the Brass Dwarves, which have benefited me a lot. Also, I've noticed that the Frost Dwarves seem to be out of the dwarven main story all the time, do they have something unspeakable? ”

"Well, I can't tell you that, Lord Murphy."

Lord Ofg shook his head and said:

"As far as I know, the Frostdwarf clan has been mobilized, and they should come to Transcia as one of the representatives of the Nordov kingdom after the wolf maidens prepare for large-scale support to the front line.

Because of the good deeds you have done for them, I suspect that Badr may come in person, and when the time comes, you can ask him.

All I can tell you is that the frost dwarves are special!

In addition to their belief in Mother Earth, they also have a mission, and although we have all forgotten where it came from, if Mother Gaia does not stop them from fulfilling their duties, it means that it is definitely an important thing to do with the world.

You should probably leave.

Not just because I need to rest, but because a vampire nobleman is approaching here.

The power of the earth heralded to me that your millennial lord was about to step into this valley.

According to the traditional etiquette of vampires, you, as a junior, should go to greet you immediately, and don't forget to call your great princess, otherwise Lord Pa Ying may be displeased.

You know, that guy is stubborn and old-fashioned in some ways, even more than a dwarf like me. ”
