dark moon

Chapter 73

This is the heart of the world of Parvatija, the dual core both geographically and psychologically.

The continuous Duins Mountains block the biting cold wind blowing from the northern ice sheet. The Susokalu River flowing under the Soul Plateau in the east brings moist air and rich aquatic products. The Mukarson Plain in the south The fertile soil is rich in harvest every year, warm and humid, and spring-like all the year round. There is no land in Parvatiga that is more beautiful and rich than this place.

This is the Temple of Gods, the sacred city favored by the gods.

There is no shortage of wars in Parvatigarh.

Not counting the age of myth, the official history of 1 years is a bloody history full of wars, killings and deaths.

The wars between intelligent creatures and nature, between them and Warcraft, between different races within intelligent creatures, between different countries, and even between different forces, have destroyed countless countries and caused countless deaths. .

The gods did not stop the war, in other words, they were the initiators of the war.In order to compete for faith and conflict with ideas, they encouraged believers to launch wars, conquer countries with different beliefs, kill all steadfast pagans, and force people to change their beliefs.

All this lasted until the end of the chaotic era.

Enough bloodshed, tired of fighting, and most importantly, for some unknown reason, the gods were finally tired of war.

Almost all the gods have sent down oracles one after another to stop those meaningless wars. Everyone from all major races and countries can finally sit down and talk.

Not only intelligent creatures, but also gods.

After nearly a hundred years of long negotiations, the final result was very ideal, especially for the gods.

All true gods, no matter strong or weak, swore an oath to the void with their own godhood, no longer fighting for faith through war, and no longer using killing to resolve differences.

Thus, with the two impersonal gods of Contract and Justice as arbiters, the pantheon of gods was established.

920 The seven true gods each have a trace of divinity. The divinity is gathered together to form a huge sacred place at the center of Parvatiga. That is the sacred city favored by the gods, a city between reality and reality. The city between the unreal and the unreal - the Pantheon.

The original temples were composed of 920 seven sacred halls. No one built them. They were automatically generated by the divine power of the true gods. Since this is the closest location to the gods in a sense, in order to make it more convenient for the worshippers For worship, at the deepest part of each sacred hall, there is a door leading to the sacred area of ​​the god, which is the main hall of the church. High-level clergy can allow themselves or extremely devout believers to come and go directly through this door. Traveling between the two places saves a lot of travel time and avoids risks during the journey.

At that time, the temples were only open to clergy, and could only be entered and exited through the Pilgrimage Gate. Although the location was there, it always existed in an illusory space, and its existence could not even be observed from the mortal world.

However, most of the sacred halls of gods need someone to take care of them every day, but crossing the pilgrimage gate requires a lot of mental energy. Even high-level clergymen cannot support these people to enter and exit the pilgrimage gate every day. They can only often Stationed in the Temple of Gods.As a result, as more and more permanent clergymen arrived, problems arose.

Wherever there are people, there are needs. Priests are also human beings, so they are no exception.

Food, clothing, housing, transportation, daily necessities, and various demands come one after another.It’s not that you can’t carry a large amount of daily necessities with you when you go in and out, but if you treat the Pilgrimage Gate as a freight channel, even if you are really not afraid of divine punishment, the priest who opens the gate can’t afford it. You know, every time the person who comes in and out adds some weight, the person who opens the door will have to bear the burden. People's burdens increase exponentially.

Therefore, with the prayers of the priests, the gods made changes, and the pantheon of gods simply appeared in the present world.

With the approval of the gods, various secular buildings were built around the sacred halls, including libraries, shops, hotels, taverns, workshops, and even several indescribable special places, which were one of the three gods of love. The place where the followers of the Goddess of Desire are located.

Devout believers continue to enter this city without lords and laws.Even though everything here is adjudicated by the impersonal, divine union of 920 seven gods, even though the admission qualifications here are so strict and the number is strictly limited, the scale is still growing, and now it is like a real The city is the same.

"Praise my Lord, praise the gods, praise the gods." In the temples, walking out of the empty Dark Moon Hall, Shuer and Lisa, like every other priest who had just arrived, loudly praised the gods. The founders of the temple, this is already a fixed process for the clergy.This compliment is not at all against their will, because for the high-level priests, the existence of the temples is so convenient that they can reach them instantly even if they are thousands of kilometers away.

As soon as you go out, you can see that the temple is obviously different from other cities.

70.00% of the people walking on the street are clergymen wearing strange holy robes. Maybe one second, you just heard someone in the distance shouting praises to Offregen in Dwarf language, and the next second you can hear someone behind you. The sea elves sing the hymn of Furla, the storm goddess, with a unique voice like the sound of the tide.

The most common scene on the street is that of clergymen of different races, ages, and genders, wearing holy robes of different colors and styles, making different prayer gestures, using different languages, and praising different gods as their opening remarks.Everything is completely different, but what happens here creates a very subtle sense of harmony.Those who have never been here may not even be able to imagine the scene of so many priests gathering together. After all, all of this is only possible in the Temple of Gods, the most unique city in Parvatiga. Saw it.

However, Shuer and Lisa did not pay attention to those special sights that could make newcomers stupid on the spot. Not only because they were used to it, but also because their line of sight was blocked.

What blocked their view was a tree.

Well, it grows right at the door of the Dark Moon Hall. The roots of the tree are divided into two sides and pierced into the soil on both sides of the corridor. The tree trunk is blocking the door. People who come in and out are not careful and will bump into the tree head-on.

An oak tree.

As soon as she saw this tree, Lisa's gloomy face turned completely dark, and she turned around and walked back.

"I'll go back and get an axe." The girl gritted her teeth and said viciously, "I just learned the wood-cutting skills in the past two days, but I haven't practiced them yet."

"So when I'm not around, stop playing language adventure games with those boring guys. Where can you learn that damn wood-logging skill?" Shuer pulled the girl back in a state of laughter and tears, and touched her comfortingly. "Okay, okay, calm down."

"I don't want to calm down. This idiot is blocking the door of our house again. It's not the first time. Last time, he blocked the door of the temple. This time, he blocked the door of the sacred hall. Where will he block next time? Isn't that right? Are you going to block the Crescent Arch in Lord Darkmoon's kingdom?" Lisa, who was always polite and sensible, ran a few steps angrily and kicked the oak tree at the door, "I knew you were here, brother. The purpose of the temple is impure, and it is true that this tree was specially used to block the road. Hey, you idiot, how long do you want to keep pretending? Get out of my way."

"Eh? Shuer and Sally, you are here." The oak tree trembled for a while and said in the unique slow voice of the forest spirit in plant form, "The soil at the entrance of the Sacred Hall is so good, it's so comfortable that I accidentally fell asleep. ”

"Hey, my name is Sally, no, my name is Lisa, you stupid deer, you must have done this on purpose." The great Lisa was almost mad, she put her hands on her hips and stared, her round face bulging. "And if you want to take root, just go to the door of your forest temple. Aren't there often more than 20 stupid tree spirits lined up there? Go and keep company with them."

"Is that so? It turns out that your name is Lisa today (I will be called Lisa any day!), well, it doesn't matter what you call it (it's important to me, okay?). The entrance to the Forest Temple is too crowded, or here. Well, no one is competing with me for space.”

"That's because you are competing for space with us!" Every time she met this hateful forest elf, Lisa felt like she would be pissed to death. Really, how could her brother tolerate such a bad guy!

"Haha, don't be angry. She deliberately made you angry. Who makes you so cute even when you are angry? Of course she likes to tease you. And I didn't ask her out, she did it by herself." Xiure joked He watched the excitement for a long time and then said with a smile, "And Moria, why did you come here? You didn't come just to bully Lisa."

"Eh? Didn't you invite me here?" Lin Jing shook the branch and said slowly, "On the day after Shadow Chaser ended, you said you wanted to be with me..."

"Stop, I know if you keep talking, your head will be filled with pollen again, and I'm very sure that I didn't say anything that day, so it's useless for you to pretend to be stupid."

"Hey, well, I came here to wait for you on purpose. I guess you will come to bully Sasa, so I came here a little earlier to wait for you."

"Well, I plan to go to the library first, just to return the books and bully Sasa. But, how long did you say? I am not sure when I will come over."

"About half a month. It's so comfortable to sleep here. I can't remember."

"Hehe, hehe." Shuer was not going to discuss common sense issues with this guy whose thinking was obviously not in harmony with normal creatures. "This is your first time coming to the Temple of Gods to see me. No, you shouldn't be able to use the Pilgrimage Gate. , then how did you come here?"

"Someone wants to see you." Moria suddenly became serious.

Xiure paused and pointed his finger upward.

"Well, mother hopes to go there."

There is only one being who can be called mother by a creature like the forest elf, the forest goddess.
