Chapter 138 To find the belief in the past
The food in the cell was not good, let alone sufficient, and the slaves imprisoned here had to suffer from hunger and thirst.

It is obvious that the kingdom has rarely imprisoned so many prisoners, and has never prepared sufficient food. In addition, all the prisoners in the prison are slaves, even if some people starve to death, it will not be a big deal.

In the first few days, they could barely endure it, but after nearly a week, the slaves were all starved to the bone.

In the morning, the cell smelled of filth.

Norn sat listlessly in front of the cell door, his stomach aching from hunger.

As the days passed, the death of the old priest was gradually approaching.

Yesterday, a minister from the palace held his nose and came to the cell to announce the death sentence to the old priest.

That was in the afternoon four days later.

Norn watched the old priest come out from the depths of the cell, and looked at the slaves in the cell with concern.

The slaves here, after hearing the stories told by the old priest, many of them turned to believe in the Lord he spoke of.

The slaves didn't quite understand the relationship between gods and gods, and their understanding of beliefs was even more shallow. In addition, the stories dictated by the old priest were so beautiful, so it was very easy for them to convert.

Norn, however, has not yet converted.

Because he hasn't felt the inescapable force that the old priest once said.

………………

Life in prison was too painful, and on the second day approaching the old priest's death, some people began to starve to death.

No one knows how that person died, and no one knows what last words he left before he died. He died just by opening and closing his eyes.

Panic swept across the prison in an instant, and the slaves mourned the man's death. When the jailers threw the body out of the cell, the slaves rushed up to protect the man's body, and never let the guards take away.

At this moment, the stone slaves suffering from hunger and thirst showed amazing vitality. They began to dig a pit on the ground with their bony hands and mottled nails, and buried the man's body in it. Buried in peace.

For countless three-eyed ape-man nobles, this group of slaves has always been like a flock of domesticated sheep. They don't know what running away is, and even if they do, they won't run away. Stone slaves are natural slaves.

But this does not mean that the slaves have no emotions.

In the whippings, scars one after another, and the fallen bodies one after another, there is a heart made of flesh and blood beating.

That heart is not a stone, let it be carved by the three-eyed ape-man.

The bodies of the slaves are subject to shackles, and only the spirit can go to freedom.

So, between Cargaus and the Lord that the old priest said, the slaves in this cell chose to convert to the latter.

They began to learn to recite prayers with folded hands like the old priests, praising the God who saved the world, and they began to get used to not mentioning Cargaus, but discussing the legends of elves with each other.

The norn looked at the stone slaves in amazement.

His mind was also shaken accordingly.

No stone slave can break free from the shackles of the world, they don't have enough strength to resist, and they don't know how to resist.

Even if the shackles of the flesh cannot be broken,
But what can tame the body cannot tame the mind.

The spirit of the stone slaves must go to freedom at all times, and their faith must be awakened from suffering.

Another morning.

After the other slaves woke up from their lethargy, the old priest told everyone about the ancient history again.

"At that time, the doomsday came, the great flood swept the whole world, dark clouds covered the sky, and there was darkness everywhere. The people of the world could do nothing on the ground. They could only witness the flood destroying the giant trees in the forest and destroying the creatures on the ground."

The voice of the old priest was full of passion, and the emotions of the slaves were aroused by him, and they looked at him directly.

"I don't know how many people knelt on the ground and worshiped the keel bones under the leadership of King Saber, but this did not stop the flood. The fate of destruction on the ground seems to have been doomed."

Norn listened carefully to the words of the old priest, and kept every story and plot in his heart.

In the old priest's narration, the image of the Lord was gradually outlined in the young man's heart.

"The end is coming, and the people of the world have done everything they need to do, but it still doesn't help. At this time, they put their hands together and pray to God for the final salvation.

And God, listened to the prayers of the world.

Suddenly, flames filled the entire sky, and those dark clouds that blocked the light were instantly engulfed in flames!

Those divine radiance filled the sky in an instant, everyone looked up and saw the rain stopped, and a group of huge narwhals came out of the valley mightily, stopping the flooded kingdom with their glowing horns the flood! "

The old priest narrated the last episode of "The Book of Kings and Prophets" to everyone. In that story, people faced danger and prayed to God for salvation, but God stretched out his hand and embraced the suffering and despair of the world.

The slaves looked at each other, how similar the situation of the elves in the story was to their own.

They face prison, and the elves face the doomsday flood.

They are helpless in hunger and thirst, and the elves are helpless in destruction.

The stone slaves sympathized with the stories of the elves. They put their hands together, praised the gods, and reviewed the stories told by the old priest.

After hearing the whole story, Norn couldn't help asking:
"And after this, what happened after this?

The kingdom that received grace, those Logos people who once prayed to God...why did God's angels die later? "

The old priest heard Norn's confusion, smiled and said:

"As I told you earlier, I don't know, Norn.

I'm dying now,
If you want to know, you have to find it yourself. "

go find yourself...

After Norn heard it, he was silent for a moment, then raised his face and saw the eyes of the old priest.

Those eyes were full of sincerity and hope.

"You have the blood of the sons of God flowing on your body, you must return to your hometown."

The voice of the old priest trembled slightly,

"Return to your old beliefs, because God once stood on that mountain."

To return home...

Norn's hand on the cell door trembled.

To regain the faith of the past...

He felt an invisible force deep in his heart, gently pushing his shoulders.

Is that the inescapable power that the old priest once said?
