savior epic

Chapter 329
"Pray for Morland to send down his messenger? Send down?"

Vinakana wondered, puzzled by the wording.

Moreland has become a god in the world and is respected as the god of the earth. How could he use the word "descend".

Is this just a misuse or carry over?

The elf priest was surprised at first, showing a worried expression, and after pondering for a moment, said:

"You are very perceptive, traveler. I have served the statue of Morland for hundreds of years, and I have also seen the face of the god on the earth. Therefore, I know him far better than many people.

200 years ago, the god of the earth, Morlan, ordered to smash the statues of the gods, and thus set off a huge 60-year war. The lives of all nations were devastated, and many statues of the gods eventually collapsed, and the temples were burned. A pantheon like this is also It is preserved due to its remote location.

Morland, in the eyes of the believers of the gods, his deeds have been condemned by thousands of people.After that war, the earth god Morlan fell into a deep sleep and never appeared on the earth again. "

Mussaffa sighed heavily, and heavy sorrow fell on his face. He has never let go of a knot in his heart for nearly 200 years, which is very rare for elves with longevity.

"That's why... the priests serving Moreland guessed that perhaps His spirit had already left the world, so they would use words like 'descend'."

Vinakana nodded slightly, she understood Mussaffa's meaning.

"Traveler, when will you leave?"

Musaffa paused and added:

"I don't mean to drive you away, what I mean is that there may be some kind of hidden arrangement for you to come to this pantheon.

And I'd like to offer you a little bit of help for the rest of your journey. "

The two nodded slightly, thanking Musafa for his kindness.

Then, Jane asked the queen:

"When should we leave?"

Vinakana thought for a while and said:
"As soon as possible, we are going to the Dragon's Back Mountain Range."

After the two informed Musafa of their upcoming itinerary, the elven priest nodded, and he quickly walked back to the depths of the Pantheon. When he walked out, he had a streamlined and beautiful flute in his hand.

Mussaffa walked out of the Pantheon, and the two followed closely into the ice and snow.

The elf priest opened his eyes of spiritual vision, and then played the flute with a special and mysterious fingering technique. After a melodious tune, the whistling of horses sounded on the white snow.

"In the north, go straight along this road. There is a clan town there. I will give this horse to you. When you reach the Dragon's Back Mountains, tell it 'go back' so that it knows how to come back here. gone."

In addition, Musafa also explained many details of the Great Temple in the Dragon's Back Mountain Range, as well as news from hearsay.

Musaffa also took out a map and handed it to Vinakana.

The two were grateful for his actions, and Jane took out a ruby ​​ring from her arms and presented it to the elf priest.

After saying goodbye, Vinakana and Jane didn't delay any longer. They saw a white horse coming through the wind and snow. It was strong and strong, its eyes were shining, and it was shining in the white snow. It was completely different from ordinary horses.

"It's almost a hundred years old."

Vinakana was surprised.

The creatures in the golden age are extremely strange, and there will never be no shortage of rare and exotic beasts on the earth.

Mussaffa looked at Vinakana with even more surprised eyes.

"You can see the lifespan of a spirit horse. It's really unheard of. Among the people I know, only an old shaman who is almost [-] years old can do it. It's a pity that he has been in peace for many years."

Vinakana just said:
"May his soul rest in peace."

The spirit horse is almost tireless, and its speed is far faster than the excellent horses the princess has seen. Its body is surprisingly stable. Vinakana feels as if there is a breeze swirling around, supporting their bodies from falling down, and it His legs didn't make much sound when they stepped on the ground, it was like a light touch, and then he jumped lightly, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared a long distance.

In less than half a month, Vinakana and Jane came to the small town under the Longji Mountains.

The princess led the horse and walked past a hot stone forge. The slaves in ragged clothes were blowing flames and sweating in the cold wind.

Jane folded her hands and prayed for the tragic suffering of the people.

"Where should the great temple in the Dragon's Back Mountains go?"

The patriarch of the local clan chewed psychedelic herbs and looked the two up and down. Although the clothes were not recognizable, they were definitely extraordinary, not like slaves or other vulgar clans.

The patriarch showed a flattering look, and the two slaves around him handed over the scepter, and the patriarch took it and said:

"Two travelers, just walk up the boulder mountain road, which is the mountain road used by our clan to build and repair the Great Temple. There are slaves along the way, you know, and the treasure will not be placed in an unsafe place. place, so that road is safe."

There are often slaves coming and going, which means that there are very few ominous beasts, or evil things like mountain collapses.

Vinakana verified the patriarch's words with divinity, she took out a small bag of gold coins and threw it into the patriarch's hand.

After the two asked about the location of the Great Temple, they didn't even stay for a day, and they embarked on the mountain climbing road.

While climbing the mountain, Lingma turned his head after Venakana said "Go back", and disappeared in the snow for a moment.

The mountain road was paved with stone slabs and animal bones, and Venakana saw the slaves carrying boulders on their backs, point by point.They occupy most of the roads.

The slaves were followed by the overseer with the whip, shouting loudly against the wind and snow.

"God bless!"

The hemp rope that bound the boulder drew black bloodstains on the body of the leading slave. He roared loudly and exerted all his strength.

"God bless!"

The other slaves carrying boulders roared, this short prayer was like a horn, and when the words fell, they immediately exerted force.

"The Lord is above!"

The shoulders of the leading slave were trembling in the cold wind, and the hemp rope that strangled his body seemed to tear him into two pieces at any moment, and his thin feet were nailed to the mountain road like nails.

"The Lord is above!"

The slaves behind shouted in unison, and suddenly lifted the boulder forward again.

The overseer in cowhide flicked the whip in the air, and the sound of the explosion threatened the slaves so that they could not slack off.

"These are all slaves captured by the Yabaoer clan. They all believe in some kind of master. They seem to be... right, they are called true believers."

While driving the slaves away, the supervisor turned his head and said to Vinakana and Jane that he had received instructions from the patriarch to be courteous to them,

"They are all cowards. Most of them were killed by us. We smashed the temple and other icons. These slaves were taken away and raised by us when they were children. They are like cattle and sheep, even Stronger than cattle and sheep."

The supervisor's introduction was full of enthusiasm, without any vigilance and defense against foreigners. The reason is that foreigners are not rare for the local clan. Since Morland slaughtered the dragon, there have been countless pilgrims who have passed by the major local clans.

The pilgrims who arrived at the beginning inevitably clashed with several major local clans, but after one of the clans was wiped out, the remaining clans settled down at an unimaginable speed.

Now that the Great Temple has been established for a hundred years, the several major clans have been united under the name of the earth god Morelan to contribute, guard and work for the Great Temple, while the priests give echoes of their faith.

The slaves who believed in the Lord carried huge boulders on their backs and tried their best to climb up step by step.

Vinakana showed little sympathy for the slaves, even though they spoke of the Lord.

Jane was just the opposite. The nuns clenched their fists tightly and stared straight at the slaves carrying the boulder. The boulder pressed them to the point of sweating, and Jane's heart was bleeding.

But there was nothing she could do.

Seeing a slave slowing down in front of him, the overseer took a step forward and swung his whip violently, followed by a muffled howl. There was a red mark on the slave's back that was hot in the cold wind, so he hurriedly quickened his pace .

"I heard from the patriarch that there are many people climbing to the Great Temple these days, and they come from extraordinary paths. I even saw elves, gods, what a rare creature."

The supervisor introduced enthusiastically, his eyes were full of radiance,

"There are four or five times of mountaineering in our place these days. The total number of all the clans here can only be compared with the annual pilgrimage day."

While walking on the mountain road, the two listened to the supervisor tell the current situation of the Great Temple.

Half a year ago, the priests of the Great Temple saw the figure of the frost dragon Sodora in the sky.

At first, no one cared, because the Longji Mountains are close to the place where dragons live, and the Great Temple is the sanctuary dedicated to Morlan, the human god who slays evil dragons. Divine blessing is enough to deter flying dragons.

But when Sodora's figure reappeared in the sky many times, and when her wings covered the sun, the shamans of the Great Temple and the surrounding clans had to worry about it.

The high priest Fahal, who is in charge of the Great Temple, fasted for seven days and asked the God of Prophecy for the prophecy of the frost dragon Sodora.

However, on the seventh day of fasting, High Priest Fahal disappeared mysteriously. There are rumors that he was too obsessed with prophecy and became obsessed, thus stepping into the depths of the Dragon's Back Mountain Range.

The departure of the only five high priests of Morlan, the god of the earth, left the entire great temple without a leader, and the scene of impending catastrophe seemed to appear in everyone's eyes.

"The patriarch said that every major god has a high priest, who is also the only spokesperson for that god on earth, and some people even call the spokesperson a 'half-god' or 'messenger'. Two travelers, imagine You know, what a crisis this is!"

As the foreman spoke, he glanced at the slaves who were carrying the boulder, with whips in their hands all the time.

The shock of the high priest's departure to the surrounding clans is obvious.

But soon, after the initial panic, the surrounding clans settled down under the reassurance of the priests of the Great Temple. They not only repaired the temple as promised, paid food, but also diligently offered various tributes and rare objects.

Moreover, the Great Temple declared that the Chosen One of Morland would come and reproduce the feat of slaying the dragon on the ground, and the surrounding clans were completely relieved.

However, the doom of the Great Temple was not limited to the departure of the high priest.

There are two auxiliary god priests in the temple. They are also highly respected. Since the high priest left, they have been in charge of everything in the great temple.

However, in order to obtain the prophecy about the high priest, one of the priests of the auxiliary god, in the ceremony after fasting for three days, in front of everyone, the ceremony was interfered by a certain existence, and the prophecy could not be obtained, nor could it be stopped. Finally, The assistant priest was tortured into a madman.

"It is said that the priest is crazy all day long. He always has prophecies coming out of his mouth, and he will go crazy and hurt people. He has been tied up under a thousand-year-old tree and has to be served by people every day."

When the supervisor uttered these words, he showed a look of fear, for fear that he would also encounter misfortune in the dark.

Before the priest went completely mad, he bit off his own finger, bleeding profusely, and prophesied that a chosen one who would practice Moreland's spiritual will would return to the world.

Because of this, the remaining auxiliary god priest sent a letter to the halls of the major gods for help, and warned his god priests in his heart to avoid trying to predict the fate of the great temple.

"You mean, the people gathered in the Great Temple are all the figures from the temples of the gods?"

Vinakana asked.

"That's right. I've heard people say that some came here on white tigers or devil bears. The letter was only sent out two months ago. I guess there are still many priests who haven't arrived yet."

The supervisor replied without concealment.

As the mountain climbs, the road widens in places where the slope is gentle.

Since she had already learned enough information from the supervisor, Vinakana felt that there was no need to continue to follow the slaves and delay the pace of climbing, so she led Jane around the slaves who believed in the Lord.

In order to make way for the two to pass, the slaves got a moment of rest. They put down the boulder and sat on the mountain road.

As Jane walked past them, the nun took out the holy water bottle from her arms.

She poured water on her hands, and the nuns approached the slaves under the watchful eyes, and gently scrubbed their faces.

This move is enough to surprise anyone, not many people care about the life and death of slaves, let alone their beliefs.

While scrubbing, Jane said:

"Blessed are the hungry, for they shall be filled."

She is a nun of the church.The church has the mission of helping the poor.

Scrubbing the faces of the poor and bringing the comfort of faith is all Jane can do.

Vinakana watched all this silently, unmoved.

This is the kingdom of God in Moreland, and I am just a traveler.

In Jane's actions, the princess couldn't see the meaning.

"You're just fulfilling your own mercy."

When Jane returned to Vinakana, the princess said lightly.

"Think as you please, Princess."

Jane paused, then said:
"I scrub their faces, not because their faces are clean, but because they are one of the world. It is not so much that I scrub their faces as I scrub for the world."

Vinakana was noncommittal, and they waited silently for the mountain road without speaking a word along the way.
