Chapter 131: The Last Druid (Part II)
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
"In the early days, it was almost common to see followers of other religions condemned as heretics and put to death on the stakes of the Temple of Light and on the gallows of the Inquisitions of the Churches everywhere!
On the mainland, the Church of Light is the only religion!
On the mainland, the goddess of light is the only true god!
This is the iron law of the Church of Light, and no one is allowed to cross the line.
And the druids ...... This kind of special existence that believes in nature and worships nature, and does not believe in the goddess of light, it is naturally impossible for them to be tolerated by the Church of Light!
Before the founding of the Roland Empire, although the special existence of druids was extremely rare and rare, it is also rumored that they still exist in some remote areas of the mainland.
But with the protracted religious cleansing and repression, countless other religions were engulfed in flames after the long river of history, and the druids ...... This kind of 'heresy' that does not believe in the goddess of light is naturally also in the ranks of being suppressed and purged.
After the founding of the Roland Empire for a long time, there were no other religions on the continent, and druids became a word in historical memory. It is only recorded in some classical texts, and there is no druid on the continent!"
Speaking of this, Rodelle bowed to Chris and said respectfully: "I would never dare to deliberately question the words of my seniors, but ...... According to the actual situation on the mainland, it is absolutely impossible for a special tribe like the Druids to survive in the religious confinement and brutal eradication that lasted for a thousand years in the Church of Light! This tribe has been extinct for a thousand years, and this is absolutely not wrong. β
Chris was silent for a while, the old monster's expression seemed to be very calm, and his eyes were faint.
He groaned for a moment before sighing. The tone was very sincere, and she glanced at Rodelle: "Xiao Nizi is good, she has learned the history of the Roland Empire very solidly." β
As he spoke, he seemed to smile, and his tone was a little strange: "However, the things in those books are recorded by later generations after all, and they ...... For some special reasons. There are many errors in the records, or they are not fallacies, but for some reason, they are deliberately wrong. β
"Oh?" Rodelle looked curious, and pleaded with Chris seriously, "I'm just a beginner. Please also ask for your advice!"
"I can't talk about pointing, but my old man has lived for so long, and I finally know more things than others. β
Chris smiled slightly, looked at the few curious young people in front of him, and then he coughed: "This Liszt chick is basically right, but she got a key question wrong. Maybe...... It's not that she's mistaken. It's that the books she read are wrong. β
Chris then slowly asked a question: "What do you think the so-called 'druid' is?"
This question. Chen Daolin, an alien traverser, couldn't answer, and Barossa, the little elf, couldn't answer either. Therefore, the responsibility was naturally handed over to Lodel, who is indigenous and erudite.
"Druids are a special race. They are close to nature, love life. Worship nature, believe in nature. The principle of this tribe is to protect nature...... Legend has it that they are also the only race that has the closest relationship with humans, they are not hostile to any other race, and in ancient times, even in the human world, the druids were able to maintain good relations with humans, so ......"
"So, everything you know is wrong. Chris shook his head: "It's all fake." β
Chen Daolin's heart suddenly moved, and he suddenly remembered that there was a special subtlety in a sentence that Chris had said first!
What does this old guy say?
He said, "I know a human who I saw two hundred years ago!
Human!!druid!!
Chen Daolin's heart suddenly moved, as if he felt that he should have captured a key point!!
"The so-called 'druids' are not actually a separate race, let alone a species of creature alongside humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, and so on...... In other words, it is precisely because the druids themselves deliberately want this to do so, so they deliberately guide it!"
Chris slowly said the answer: "The so-called druids are not actually a race at all, but a religion, a special belief......! Druids are actually real human beings! It's just that these people have a special faith from human beings, and after believing in the teachings of the druids, they become druids! The earliest druids were such a group of people, because of their special beliefs, they were close to all things in nature, and they thought that they should act as the guardians of all things in this world to protect and defend all things in nature, and never participate in any disputes in this world, so these people separated themselves from human beings and called themselves 'druids'! They changed their living habits, stayed away from the world, and gradually formed their own special beliefs and culture. And then over time, the world mistook these guys for another race!
Druids, in fact, are just a group of human beings with their own special beliefs!
They, too, are human!"
Mankind!
This answer is too amazing! It subverts the historical common sense that Rodelle has always been familiar with, and this chick is so surprised that she can't help but have doubts, and looks at Chris's eyes, and she looks a little unconvinced.
"I mean, the druid I know we met more than two hundred years ago. Liszt's chick, if you don't believe it, I tell the man's name, and you know it!"
Chris coughed deliberately and continued, "That person is Gandalf!"
Gandalf?
Chen Daolin's expression suddenly became strange.
Nima Gandov is out...... Is there a Frodo?
Darlinggo didn't know that there was indeed a "Gandorf" in this world, but this Gandorf in the Roland world had nothing to do with "The Lord of the Rings".
Lordelle's reaction was even more shocking!
The little girl had a dull expression and stood there stunned. I was stunned by the secret that Chris said!
Because she's a native of the Roland Empire!
Of course, she knows what this "Gandalf" Chris is talking about!!
In fact, the thunderous Cheng dΓΉ of this name may be far inferior to the great Duke Tulip in the hearts of ordinary people.
However, in the wizarding world, and in the hearts of magicians, the shock of this name is no less than that of the great Duke Tulip!
It is now in the most sacred temple of magicians in the Roland Continent, the "Academy of Magic" - this holy place that has trained countless magicians, there is an extremely eye-catching corridor in the academy!
The promenade. It is respectfully called the "Saint's Corridor" by all the magicians in the world. Because on this corridor, there are many statues of deceased, great and famous grandmaster-level magician predecessors!!
The statues of these great masters of magic in the past are placed there for future generations of magicians to admire!
There can be this kind of treatment. After death, the statue can be placed in this "saint's corridor", but not everyone is qualified!
How high is the "entry standard" of this corridor? Let's take a very simple example: the former chairman of the Magic Guild, the spiritual leader of the magicians of the mainland, is not qualified to put the statue in it after his death! Because everyone believes that the deceased Mr. Chairman was also a powerful top magician during his lifetime, and led the Magic Guild for many years...... However, in terms of the contribution to magic and the great Cheng dΓΉ, it is not enough to put it in for future generations to admire!
And. This practice was unanimously approved by almost all magicians, and no one objected!
It can be seen that you can enter that corridor. How strict are the qualifications for putting on the statue!
And the statue of "Gandalf" is placed in the "Saint's Corridor" for future generations to admire......
And!
His statue. Or the first one at the front of all the statues in the corridor!
Ranked 1st place!!
What a status this is!!
Rodelle closed her eyes and couldn't help but recall the statue of Gandalf she had seen at the Imperial Academy of Magic. And the words under the statue that describe the great deeds of his life:
"Sicily-Jacques Gandalf (Empire 710 - Empire 960), a famous magus on the continent, his main contributions: the discovery of six ways to hatch dragon eggs, the discovery of thirteen rare magic plants, the improvement of seven intermediate magic spells, and the creation of a new high-level magic spell, etc. Thanks to Master Gandalf's contributions, future generations can learn from his research results......"
Such writing, under the statue of Gandalf, is full of three gold plates!
This great magician, whose full name is "Sicilys-Jacques Gandalf", has contributed countless amazing achievements to the magical civilization of Roland Continent in his life, created countless shocking magical miracles, and cultivated many great top magicians!
Although he has never served as the chairman of the Magic Guild in his life, he has been treated as a teacher by all previous presidents!
And the most talked-about thing is one of his legendary deeds:
Although this Gandalf Magister has made countless contributions to the magical civilization of the Roland Empire in his lifetime, he is considered by the world to have made the greatest contribution to mankind, and it is the last disciple he accepted and cultivated in his later years!
This disciple's name is Dewey Rollin!
Later it was renamed: Dewey Rollin Rudolph!
The world calls it: Duke Tulip!
......
"Gandalf?!" Lodel screamed excitedly, "Great Magister, considered the greatest Magus of 500 years, Master Gandorf! You, you say he is a druid?!! but ...... He's clearly ......"
"It's human!" Chris smiled faintly, "As I told you just now: Druids are actually humans, it is a faith, not a race. β
Rodelle struggled in her heart.
Although she didn't want to believe it, the answer that Chris said was too shocking.
And...... When you think about it, it's like ...... It seems that there are really some traces to follow!
As the heir to the Liszt family, Lodel was of course familiar with the biography of Gandalf's life. After all, Gandorf was the teacher of Du Wei, the first Duke of Tulip.
In the record, Master Gandorf seems to have always been dismissive of the Church of the Temple of Light.
Although most of the magicians in the Roland Continent have always had a strange tradition: most magicians do not believe in the goddess of light.
But at the very least, the magicians are superficially respectful of the Church.
However, this Magister Gandalf is an exception, and he has made it clear on many occasions that he is dismissive of the Temple of Light, and even faintly hostile.
This attitude is intriguing. Although the Church of Light will definitely be dissatisfied, because of Gandalf's transcendent status and prestige in the wizarding world, the church has nothing to do with this great master in the wizarding world, and can only treat it as invisible and inaudible.
Anyway, as long as Gandorf didn't show his belief in other religions, then the Church of Light could only endure.
After all, although the imperial law canonized the status of the Church of Light as the state religion and did not allow any other religious beliefs in the memory of the empire, this practice was a "repayment" that the Founding Emperor had to "repay" the powerful Church of Light that helped him establish the country, but the wise and martial Founding Emperor did not want to see the power of the church grow infinitely, so there was also a gap in the decree of the canonization of the state religion:
In the Roland Empire, people are not allowed to believe in other religions, but there is a right: not to believe in any religion!
In other words, you can not believe in the goddess of light, but as long as you do not believe in other gods, then it is not illegal.
Magister Gandalf had never had any faith in a god in his life, but his disdain for the Church of Light was never hidden.
"Actually, that guy is a druid. Chris smiled and said the answer.
Druid!
Recognized by the Empire as the greatest mager in 500 years, it is actually a druid who believes in nature!
And as a druid, because of his beliefs, this archmage will naturally be extremely hostile to the Church of Light that has adopted a strategy of religious suppression and purge!
In my mind, one of the greatest achievements of this great magister in his life was to cultivate such an outstanding disciple as Duke Tulip.
And it was his most outstanding disciple, many years later, who became the leader who held the power of the empire, and then did not hesitate to adopt a strategy of weakening and suppressing the Church of Light, and used one decree after another to almost deprive the Church of Light of its state religion privileges!
It has made the powerful church, which has been prominent on the mainland for thousands of years and can compete with the imperial power, become as weak as it is now!
Your Church of Light wiped out all other religions in the past, and now my druid disciples are teaching you the Temple of Light in turn!
So......
But I can't help but believe it! (To be continued)
