Goddess Wanhua Mirror

Lu De has long discovered that Gulig seems to be planning to lead his clan to change the object of belief. This can be seen from his publicity of "freedom of belief" and the welcome of any sect to preach to them.

In the first meeting a few days ago, Gulig had just learned about God's Domain, so he specifically asked how to "reach heaven and listen".When Lude hinted that he had a solution, the other party's eyes lit up, which further confirmed Lude's guess.

But Lu De was somewhat curious about the reason why Gulig, the patriarch, chose to abandon the Mother Earth Goddess whom the dwarves had believed in for many years, and also planned to convert his entire Steel Whip clan together.

In line with the principle of asking if you don't understand, Lu De asked his own doubts.

"Is it necessary to ask this?"

"Of course, it is the freedom of believers to choose their own beliefs, but this freedom is not unlimited... You must have a valid reason, right?"

The two looked at each other, and Gulig was silent for a moment. It seemed that there was still a little hesitation, or that he didn't trust Lude enough, but in the end he gritted his teeth and told the reason why he decided to betray the Mother Earth.

"My lord, if I tell you now that it is not us dwarves who want to betray the Mother Earth, but that we accidentally discovered that the Earth Mother once betrayed our dwarves, will you believe what I say?"

End of this chapter

Regarding the betrayal of the dwarves by the Mother Earth, Lude actually heard Hume mention it before.But this matter is a secret that only God knows. As the victim, the dwarves actually did not know about it, otherwise they would not continue to believe in the Mother Earth with peace of mind.

Interestingly, in their attitude towards this scandal, those gods who did not hesitate to use dirty means in order to compete for their beliefs showed incredible unity this time and helped conceal the truth of the incident together.

Although Hume couldn't explain it in detail due to the "seal order", he still allowed Ludd to deduce the general process by revealing some key information.

The general situation is summarized as follows: during the war of gods, the Mother Earth fooled the dwarves who believed in her, making them think that they had been strengthened.

So the dwarf king raised the whole country's soldiers, and the royal conquest launched the final decisive battle against the Ratman Empire. However, the Mother Earth gave them a vicious "drainage from the bottom" at a critical moment, which led to the annihilation of the entire dwarf army.

It turned out that long before the start of the war, the Mother Earth had already reached a dirty PY deal with other gods, and they wanted to join hands with the Dwarf Kingdom.As a reward after the event is completed, the gods will tacitly allow the Mother Earth to obtain multiple gods including abundance and disaster.

However, purely from the perspective of profit, the deal of Mother Earth is undoubtedly a loss.Because before this, the Dwarf Kingdom has always been the basic platform of the Mother Earth Sect. This is the legal state religion of the Dwarf Kingdom. Tens of millions of citizens are believers of the Earth Mother God, and they are generally very devout.

These skilled craftsmen built hundreds of magnificent temples and towering statues for the Mother Earth, and regularly held grand sacrificial activities.

Backed by abundant beliefs, the Mother Earth Goddess of that period was a high-ranking god at the same level as the Yusanjia, but after the dwarves were cheated by her to subjugate the country, the Mother Earth Goddess sect also began to decline, even with a Heaped up new gods as compensation, but she was still tragically reduced to a second-tier god, living a tepid life.

When he first learned about this period of history, Lu De once thought that the Mother Earth Goddess was the otherworldly version of Yuan Shao, who cherished his life for great things and forgot his life for small profits, but later discovered that things were not as simple as they seemed. .

When the war of gods broke out that year, the reason was that the Ratman Empire spied on the secrets and tried to create its own gods. This touched the interests of other primitive gods, thus causing a series of chain reactions, and finally causing the entire world to die.

But in the world structure at that time, the Ratmen and the Dwarves were fighting for hegemony. The technological level of the two was comparable, and their cultures were different. They were both advanced civilizations that had already stepped into the Industrial Revolution. The world has triggered an unprecedented great change.

In contrast, the human race in the same period had just started, and they were just a group of inconspicuous little people. They established some relatively backward small countries by imitating the culture and system of the Ratman Empire.

Therefore, in the eyes of the gods, the Ratman who tried to create gods is an enemy that must be eliminated, and the dwarves with the same strength are potential enemies!It would be best to let these two guys who threatened his dominance die together.

There are only individuals who betray the class, and there is no class who betrays the interests. This sentence is also applicable to these so-called "gods".

The reason why Hume revealed this to Lude was because she found that although Lude was a missionary genius whose mind was full of coquettish operations, this guy actually didn't have a cold for the gods, and he didn't have the slightest respect in his heart.He is just like the ratmen and dwarves who were killed back then, he is a reformer who is eager for progress.

Hume has no objection to this. After all, in the past 300 years, she has not been a vested interest for a day, and naturally she does not intend to support this theocratic class that excludes herself.She just simply reminded Lude not to expose herself prematurely before she has enough strength to lift the table.

Since he didn't know the source of Gulig's information, although Lu De knew what he was going to say, he still pretended to be puzzled.

"Sir Gulig, why did you say such disrespectful words to the Mother Earth, whom the dwarves have believed in since ancient times?"

"My lord, don't you believe what I said?"

"It's not that I don't believe it, but I need to see the evidence first."

Gulig was silent for a short moment, as if he still had some concerns. After all, judging from the information he got, it wasn't just the Earth Goddess who cheated the dwarves back then, but other gods seemed to be involved as well, and most of them Playing a disgraceful role.

From an emotional point of view, Gulig could not accept that he and his clansmen continued to believe in a vicious goddess who once betrayed their ancestors and ruined the dwarf clan's country and family.

But he also knew that with his steel whip clan of tens of thousands of people alone, he didn't have the strength to challenge a god, so he thought of a compromise method, which was to change his belief and find other gods as backers.

The dwarves' belief in the Mother Earth is mainly derived from their desire for underground mineral deposits and their fear of various geological disasters.Therefore, in the original teachings of the dwarves, the most likely divine punishment for betraying the Mother Earth is an earthquake, and the betrayer will be buried in the mine dug by himself.

Therefore, the new backer must be strong enough, which made Gulig want to choose one of the current three imperial families to join him, but he soon got advice from an expert who cannot be named, and asked him to lead his clan Go to the north of the kingdom, where they can get everything they want.

Just at this time, news came from the north that a well-preserved ancient dwarf city was found in the Void Forest. Gulig thought it was the answer he was looking for, so the whole family migrated north, but they never expected to meet Lu in Pine Tree Village. De, heard about God's Domain from him.So Gulig suddenly came up with a new idea, that is, whether it is possible to invite another god who is more suitable for their dwarves from this God's Domain.

After hesitating again and again, Gulig took out a soft cloth pocket, poured out a crystal ball about the size of his fist, and handed it to Lude.

"this is……"

"The recording crystal of our dwarves, this is one of the relics found by our archaeologists from an ancient battlefield. It records the last message left to this world by His Royal Highness Koberi, the last dwarf king. He revealed that Shameful betrayal, and the evidence you want to see!"

End of this chapter

Under the control of Gulig, some dynamic pictures quickly appeared inside the crystal ball like a huge black pearl. The language is constantly telling something, the tone is weak but full of endless anger, and Gulig at the side takes the initiative to translate for him simultaneously.

Without Gulig's introduction, Lude guessed the identity of this dwarf. It was the last dwarf king, Koberi, the strongest person in history who sent all opposing ministers to mine because he wanted to use the power of the whole country to build a giant humanoid robot. jelly.

To be honest, Koberi Taylor's reputation in the history of dwarves is not very good. This guy is a typical tyrant, a very self-willed dictator.He had killed his brother, persecuted virtuous ministers who advised him, and even forcibly married his half-sister as his wife.

The last dwarf king has done countless fucking things, but he is also a tough and decisive monarch, a fierce general who dares to lead the way.During this guy's reign, the only victory in the foreign war of the Dwarf Kingdom was the final battle with the Skaven Empire.

This battle was called the "Battle of Blood and Tears" by the dwarves. The royal family of the dwarves and the eleven elite legions were completely wiped out, and not only them, but also the millions of armies of the enemy and us were all spared, and some of them were wiped out. , and even the gods they believed in disappeared together.

Since there were no survivors on both sides of the war, the dwarves did not know that the Mother Earth they believed in would betray them at a critical moment. It was not until more than 300 years ago that the truth about this dusty history was finally revealed.

In the picture of the crystal ball, when he was dying, the dwarf king insisted on telling the whole story of the Battle of the Valley of Blood and Tears in as much detail as he could, because he knew very well that there was no justice or glory in this war. The vicious and hypocritical evil gods will never let the truth about this battle leak out.

In Koberi's narration, the Battle of the Valley of Tears was a premeditated massacre. The gods were afraid of the increasingly powerful mortals, fearing that they would threaten their supremacy, so they conspired to set up a situation. It is necessary to gather and wipe out the elites of all advanced intelligent races at that time.

When the battle first started, the mortals who participated in the battle hadn't noticed any abnormalities, and the gods they believed in all generously gave them unprecedented blessings and protection.As for the Ratman Empire, which is the target of public criticism, although there is no protection from the gods behind them, they have created many unkillable Ratman warriors with a terrifying magic that has never been seen before.

This unparalleled battle lasted for three days and three nights. Relying on their superior numbers, the coalition of the gods, who boasted of justice, made huge sacrifices and gradually gained an advantage on the battlefield.However, at a critical moment, the Mother Earth, who had been standing behind the dwarves to buff them, suddenly withdrew all her protection, causing the dwarf army, the main force of the coalition forces, to drop sharply in combat power in an instant.

The Ratman also activated their "killing mace", awakening an indescribable horror on the blood-soaked land.

Mentioning that terrifying existence, the dwarf king's tone and eyes revealed deep fear. He didn't know how to describe what he saw, so he could only use a rather abstract term to describe that thing.

"That is death itself!"

Obviously!The Ratman's god-making plan was successful, but strictly speaking it was only half-successful, because they did not have the ability to control the new god.

After the birth of the god created by the Ratman, in the blink of an eye, more than half of the creatures present at that time were wiped out. Whether it was a strong warrior or a magician who controlled the elements, none of them had the slightest power to parry, and it was not even too late. To react in any way is to die.

When the incident happened, Koberi, as the leader of the coalition forces, had been sitting in the rear commanding the army.Seeing that the battle was about to be won, he was already ready to rush forward with his guards for the final blow, but he never thought that such an incredible situation would suddenly happen.

But at this moment, some gods who had colluded with each other for a long time suddenly launched a huge seal, making a gesture of packing up the entire battlefield.Koberg was a fierce general, but he was not a fool. Realizing that something was wrong, he immediately called the remaining troops around him to retreat.

Facing the joint seal of at least a dozen gods, the terrifying monster created by the Ratman seemed to sense danger and tried to struggle. Suddenly, a black-gray energy burst out, hitting the shrinking barrier, and immediately caused a violent shock.

All the creatures swept by this dark energy almost died suddenly on the spot in an instant. Only the dwarf king Keberi barely survived this wave because of his good equipment, but he was also seriously injured.Kobery, who was once strong enough to kill an adult mountain bear with a single punch, collapsed to the point where he could hardly stand still, while the guards around him turned into a puddle of foul-smelling blood in an instant.

Seeing that the monster was about to unleash the second shock wave, Koberg, who thought he was doomed, suddenly discovered that there was a dark golden gemstone pendant in the pool of blood turned into by his eldest son.

Koberi recognized it at a glance. It was a national treasure that should have been kept in the royal treasury, the artifact "Meteor" from the hands of the goddess of wisdom, Kuramid.

This treasure is a teleportation artifact, which can transport the user to a place thousands of miles away in an instant.However, in view of the fact that the goddess of wisdom also has titles such as the god of mischief and the witch of conspiracy, the artifacts she makes generally have a mechanism for stabbing people.

And the trick of "Meteor" is that this thing can only be used once every seven times, and out of every seven uses, there will be a random teleportation, that is to say, you can't control where you go.

However, for Koberi, who was about to lose his life, this was already the most insignificant little problem. As long as he could leave this ghost place immediately, he didn't care where he went, so he decisively picked up the artifact and activated it.

With the help of the artifact, Koberi became the only mortal who escaped in that battle, but unfortunately he teleported this time so that he could not die by random teleportation. He was thrown into the bottom of a deep canyon with injuries on his body. He was mortally wounded and could only wait to die in the depths of the deserted canyon.

When he was dying, Koberi took out the memory crystal he carried with him and left this last message, hoping that someone would find his remains one day and reveal the ugly faces of those gods to the public.

End of this chapter

Because they easily believed the promise of the gods, the dwarves who were once in great prosperity fell from their peak, and have been in a slump ever since.

The Gulag, who learned the truth, was very angry, but also very helpless.

Because today's dwarves are no longer the powerful kingdom with advanced technology and large population 300 years ago, the complete extinction of the royal family has led to the entire nation without a leader.But even if a stalwart suddenly appeared and twisted the shattered dwarves back into one strand, it would be difficult for them to reproduce the glory of their ancestors, let alone seek revenge from the gods.

For Gulig, perhaps the only gratifying news is that the gods are not monolithic, not all the gods participated in the conspiracy, some were neutral, and others were just like the dwarves, eating big loss victim.

In view of this, Gulig hopes to form an alliance with these gods and seek their protection.And at this moment, an expert pointed out the direction for the Steel Whip Clan, asking them to go to the northern border of the kingdom to find the priest Lude of the God of Medicine Sect, where there might be an unimagined road waiting for them.

After listening to Gulig's narration, while Lu De was shocked by the shady behind the battle of the gods, he also became very interested in the "superior" he mentioned several times just now.

If nothing else, this expert should also be a god, and he knew about Lude's situation, so he immediately thought of Hume.Gulig remained silent again, only saying that it was inconvenient to reveal the identity of this person, and it was not good for Lude to entangle too much on this issue.

But dare not do anything, Gulig brought in more than 3 dwarves in one go, all of which were high-quality human resources delivered to the door.

After deliberating for a moment, Lude did not directly tell Gulig the truth about the gods. After all, he had just met this dwarf, and the relationship between the two parties was far from the level of complete trust.

So according to the previous setting, Lude said that he is indeed the God of Medicine Sect's God's Choice, and has the ability to get in touch with God's Domain. He should be able to help the dwarves of the Steel Whip Clan find a god who is willing to help them descend.

But asking the gods to come down is not a child's play, God's Domain is another world higher than the mortal world, and the world of the gods has the rules of the gods, and it is not allowed to go down to the mortal world without permission, unless the mortals take the initiative to pray and ask them to come, and this It takes many people to form a common belief.

Lu De asked Gulig a question, how many members of the Steel Whip Clan know the truth about God War and are willing to change their beliefs.Gulig said that the news has not been fully disclosed yet, but several elders and retainers in the clan know that hundreds of private troops under his command are also loyal to him. As long as Gulig takes the lead, these Paoze brothers will definitely follow him. decision.

Lude did some calculations, and there are nearly a thousand people just here. In addition, the dwarves have been in decline for many years, and their decadent state has worn down their faith. They were so firm years ago, it shouldn't be too difficult to encourage them to change their beliefs.

Gradually, Lu De had a feasible plan in his mind.

"Sir Gulig, I sympathize with what happened to your dwarves. I also know that gods can be divided into good and evil. I can understand your disappointment with the mother of the earth. Therefore, as a mortal, I support your choice of dwarves and will do my best. All I can do to help you.”

"Thank you, Lord Priest."

"However... asking God is not a child's play after all, so I have to explain some things to you in detail first."

"please say."

"First of all, you need to understand what a god position is. Using a concept that we mortals can understand to make a metaphor, you can regard the god position as an official position or a title, and then invite someone from the god's domain to take it on."

"So that's how it is... But how do you get the god position?"

"Of course it's prayer!"

Lude, who had been prepared for a long time, took advantage of the opportunity and moved out a set of myth system settings that he had spent a lot of time building.

In his set of settings, this world was indeed created by gods, but not one or a few, but the great cause created by the joint efforts of thousands of gods in the entire domain of gods.And the world they live in is not unique, it is just one of the thousands of worlds created by the gods of the God's Domain, and it is much lower than the God's Domain.

At the beginning of the birth of the world, the gods did not come. It was the prayers of mortals that moved them with compassion, so some gods followed their prayers and came to the mortal world to guide the confused mortals.

However, just like what Gulig learned about the shady scene from the memory crystal, gods are divided into good and evil just like ordinary people. Some of the gods who came down were not out of kindness and love, but treated ordinary people as toys that can be played with at will. He ran over to become a high-ranking ruler, and there were even some evil gods with malicious intentions who came here to make trouble.

This new set of settings made by Lude, because it follows the old mythology system of this world to the greatest extent, and also recognizes the status of gods, it is extremely acceptable to the local aborigines.Even if it reaches the ears of other gods one day, these guys may not take the initiative to "refute the rumor".

And Lude's real purpose is hidden in the expansion settings he added later, re-deconstructing the gods without a trace.

Thanks to his good eloquence, Gulig was about to be limped at the moment. Lude, as a staff member of the intermediary agency, carefully asked the dwarves about their needs for new gods, and helped them make suggestions and provide some references. Under the persuasive and persuasive guidance of the master, he locked the position of "God of Craftsmanship".

Before that, the dwarves believed in the Mother Earth because they had mining needs, hoping to find high-quality ore veins, and were afraid of encountering terrible geological disasters such as earthquakes and magma eruptions.But as a well-known craftsman nation, the most fundamental goal of the dwarves has always been to develop technology.

So Gulig finally decided to seek a god who likes to engage in technology!

"My lord priest, the position of the god has been confirmed, what should I do next?"

"Next, I will first communicate with the goddess I teach, and use his relationship to help you contact an honest and reliable god from God's Domain. I will conduct a god-through ritual, which will take some preparation time. You can follow your instructions, sir. The original plan is to act, and I will notify you when I get it done here."

"Then you have to worry about it, Your Excellency."

After a long talk, Gulig got what he wanted, and left the temple in a hurry before the darkness dissipated.

Lu Dexin said that they chatted for three hours without knowing it, but fortunately, the two sides talked well.If all goes well, I believe it won't be long before a new idol road will join his "Pantheon Combination"!

End of this chapter

A few days later, the dwarves assembled the warmates they had brought.

When the 30-meter-high steel giant walked towards the forest with its thick thighs, the dwarves were cheering, while the villagers and knights were dumbfounded. It was hard to imagine that this behemoth was created by mortal hands.

However, in Lude's view, this cool thing is really cool, and he is very itchy to see it, and he can't wait to jump on it and control it himself. After all, most men can't resist the temptation to drive a huge robot.

But perceptual attraction is attraction. If judged from rationality, such a bulky and slow giant humanoid robot is not the first choice with the highest cost performance in military or engineering fields.

In Lude's view, since the dwarves 300 years ago could build such a large robot, they were absolutely capable of making special construction machinery such as excavators and cranes.

And considering that it is not easy to manufacture battle partners, even the Dwarf Kingdom at its peak only saved more than 200 units.There are manpower and material resources to toss this thing, all used to pile up tanks and cannons, the torrent of steel is not a dream!

But right now, there is no excavator after all, so based on the existing conditions, this extremely powerful battle partner is indeed the most efficient engineering unit at present.

The war partner came to the edge of the forest, stretched out his huge palm, grabbed the big tree with the mouth of a bowl, and pulled it gently, then uprooted it, as easily as an old farmer picked up a green onion on his field. .

In less than 10 minutes, this battle puppet uprooted hundreds of big trees and opened a path seven or eight meters wide and nearly 20 meters long. The other dwarves who followed up were responsible for To deal with these big trees that have been pulled out, they are cut into logs on the spot and piled up on the side of the road for temporary storage, while another group of dwarves carrying shovels and pushing stone rollers are responsible for filling the ground and leveling the ground.
