The second volume is surging: Chapter 230 Chapter 120 Chapter [-] Insomnia Night

(About the statement about heretics and heresies at the end of the previous chapter, it will be explained at the end of this chapter, not counting the number of words)

As night fell, the hotel in Muzhong Town looked more like a public bathhouse than a hotel.

There are not many tourists here, and there are not many adventurers and businessmen, so after a year, the income from business is basically, and the accommodation is the least part. If it is not for drinks and the like, it is still easy to sell. above is also equivalent to none.

So if the hotel wants to find a way out, it has to start from other aspects.

For example, close the hotel and start another business.

But the hotel owner seems to have a certain obsession with opening a hotel. He can do other businesses, but the function of the hotel must be reserved.

Simply, and become a bathhouse where you can stay. In this western wilderness where there are not many water resources, public baths are indispensable for the people of the whole town.

Every household has to get hot water to take a bath, I am afraid there is no such condition.

Therefore, when the time for bathing and eating passed, basically only Sheld and the others were left in the hotel.

As for Lausanne, although his physique can enter the lobby, it is still somewhat difficult for the hotel to enter the room, but fortunately he is not particular about it, so he built a simple bed in the small courtyard behind the hotel. Sleeping in the open air.

I have to admire the barbarian's physique. Even though it is the beginning of March and the temperature in the Beira Empire has begun to warm up, it is still relatively cool at night, especially in the western wilderness, where the wind is still very strong at night.

Everything is fine.

The only downside is that Lausanne snores loudly. Someone once said that "the roommate in the dormitory snores like an elephant". Sheld didn't understand it, because his roommate didn't snore very much, and even if he did, the sound was relatively low.

Now, he can speak directly and responsibly.

"It's not like an elephant on a horse, it's an elephant on a horse!"

Fortunately, the hotel only has Sheld's group of guests, otherwise the hotel owner might be inundated with complaints... Well, it's not much better now.

The owner of the hotel also lost sleep in the snoring.

"You guys brought this here, don't complain to me, I didn't drive you away, it was all for the sake of money."

These were the first words the hotel owner uttered when he saw Sheard come to the lobby.

"It doesn't have to be like this... Let's have a refreshing drink."

Sheld yawned and found a seat by the window and sat down.

"There's no alcohol in refreshing."

"I know, do you think I want alcohol? Hmm...?" While talking, Sheld's eyes suddenly lit up: "Wait, alcohol is also good, maybe it can make me fall asleep."

Have a hangover?

And at this moment, Stike's voice suddenly came from behind: "Then why not try my hypnotic potion, it's fresh out of the oven."

"Uh……?"

Sheld turned his head and saw that Stike was shaking the small medicine bottle in his hand. The not-so-clear body of the bottle could vaguely see the bright yellow thick liquid inside.

"investigation."

"The failed alchemy potion, it is speculated that the prototype is a hypnotic potion, and there is a certain probability that you will want to excrete it."

"I suddenly feel full of energy! No need!"

Sheld stood up, doing chest expansion exercises, with a hearty smile on his face, and lamented his wit in his heart.

"Well, you don't have to be so afraid, I know this thing failed, just kidding you."

"???"

I saw Stike walked to sit opposite to Sheld's position, and then shook the medicine bottle in his hand: "It was a full bottle before, and it was half a bottle when I saw it again. and Neveu has been in the toilet for a long time."

Sheld silently drew a sign of the cross for Neveu.

Why does this silly boy take a bite of everything?

"Remember to keep these things away from the children next time."

"I will."

"So, you can't sleep either?"

Stike raised his eyelids slightly: "No, I'm used to the noise, and I can fall asleep completely. I'm just going to go to sleep after going out for some activities."

"Huh..."

Sheld didn't know what to say, so envious?It's not a good thing to get used to the noise, which means that Stike is in a noisy environment for a long time.

Thinking with his toes, Shield could also imagine where the noises were coming from.

The two sat in silence for a while, and finally, Sheard finally found something to talk about: "During the day, Lausanne called those barbarians entrenched in the abandoned temple heretics..."

"I can't say that I definitely know what the situation is. After all, I don't study these things, so I can only use them as a reference."

Stike played with his braids with his hands, stared at the table aimlessly, but his mouth seemed to have been prepared in advance, and he explained fluently: "The barbarians also believe in the god of the earth, but they follow the god of the earth." The Earth Temple has not come together, the monks in the Earth Temple are multi-ethnic, just like the Lantern Church, so there is a slight difference in the God of the Earth they believe in."

"The difference? The God of the Earth is divided into two?"

"That's not it."

Stike shook his head.

"That is……?"

"The god of the earth is not divided into two, but the Zansorah believed by the barbarians is the Zansorah who brings disaster and symbolizes force. What they worship is the wrath of Zansorah, such as the earthquake, the fall, the lava Eruption, these things that can swallow life in an instant."

"The barbarians think Xansorah is cruel."

"The Temple of the Earth believes that Zansora is loving and peaceful. After all, the earth bears the vitality of all things. Among them, the extreme monks of the Temple of the Earth will think that Zansora's anger is caused by those heretics. Come, their sacrifices pollute Xansorah."

"..."

This incident illustrates a truth, that is, most things have two sides. If you don't make a diode, you will look stupid.

Whether it is the Earth Temple or the barbarians, the belief in Xansora is very one-sided, and even the logic of the temple is a bit weird.

How could a majestic god be polluted by the sacrifices of a group of barbarians? That would be too shameful.

Although, Zansora may not care about this, after all, they are all believers... It is even a question whether Zansora knows these people.

"So, during the day, that Luosang said that he was looking for documents, which is true, but not necessarily completely true."

"What do you mean?"

"I can feel that he is telling the truth, but he probably hasn't told all the truth - cleaning up those barbarians heresy may also be one of his tasks."

Stike lowered his voice: "His transcendence stage is very high, at least higher than me and Dart. There are not many people with such strength in the temple, and when he mentioned those barbarians, I was There is no trace of pity for the same race in his eyes, only fanaticism."

"Such powerful religious lunatics must be the 'sweepers' of the temple, so if we don't intend to cause trouble, we should try to mention as little as possible about Zansora. Heresy is no good."

After all, Stike lay down on the back of the chair directly: "However, to be honest, although the people in the temple are some extremists, they are at least much better than the barbarians. As long as their beliefs are not mentioned, they are All pure good old folks."

Sheld nodded. I agree with this. After all, there are really few freaks who can "wrong" themselves and go to prison, and don't want to make a fuss.

At this moment, the owner of the hotel came over with two glasses of fruit wine and placed them in front of Sheld and Stick.

"No intention to eavesdrop, no intention to offend, these two cups are my treat."

Sheld shook the glass first, then picked up the wine glass and smelled it. The rich fruity and woody aroma is not cheap. If you can invite someone with good wine, you must have something to ask for, so he asked in a very polite manner. One sentence: "Is there anything we can do for you?"

"I heard that you are going to the temple in the northwest?"

"If nothing else, yes."

"Can you help me find something there?"

"Did you leave something there?"

"It's not there anymore. It was a long time ago, about 20 years ago, when the barbarians ransacked the town. At that time, I hid in the closet. I clearly remember that my wife's belongings were snatched by those barbarians. .”

Shield glanced at Stick, and Stick nodded slightly, proving that what the hotel owner said was true.

"What exactly?"

"An iron box with a pattern of flowers engraved on it. Only my deceased wife knows what it is. It was brought out by her from the desert. I haven't figured out what it is, but I have kept it well... But...but no matter how hard the cabinet is, it can't hold the ax of those barbarians!"

The hotel owner seemed to be lost in memory, his tone became low and slightly choked.

"I don't promise."

Sheld didn't agree. Although it was a matter of little effort, after all, there was a high probability that they would fight with the barbarians. With the "help" of Lausanne, they would basically fight 100% of the time.

However, there are too many uncertain factors.

"The time is a little far away. I'm not sure if the barbarians who ransacked the town are the same group as the barbarians there. In addition, it's been such a long time. I don't know if the thing is still safe or lost."

Sheld said slowly: "I suggest not to have too much hope, of course, we will try to find it."

"Thank you, as long as this is enough."

The hotel owner turned around and walked towards the counter. While walking, he was still muttering: "That's fine, I tried it..."

"If I can find it, I will give you all of my savings over the years!"

"!!!"

Stick's hoof kicked Sheld a few times under the table, and Sheld immediately gave him a "be safe" look.

Although Shelder is not a money-greedy person, nor is he a kind-hearted person, but, no one would think that money can't motivate people, right?

Be sure to search every corner carefully!Shields made up his mind.

———Author’s words———

After a rough check, "heresy" comes from the Greek ηαιρεσισ, which means "choice" and refers to errors in belief.

In some contexts of jidu, heresy refers to various religious belief sects that are contrary to orthodox jidu theology. Later, "heretical" gradually refers to doctrinal errors.

In the context of Chinese characters, there are many interpretations of heresy, such as "evil".

Therefore, in order to avoid some language confusion, heretics and heresies are defined in this book. The two are simply and crudely divided into heretics are outsiders (other religions), and heretics are traitors among "our own people" (that is, the same people). A belief in a god, but with different interpretations of God and different teachings) such a statement. q skirt ①slip ②①7 wives 1 six

Volume 231 Rising Storms: Chapter 120 Chapter [-] Four Barbarian Settlements

Lausanne's weapon, as Sheld imagined, is a huge totem pole, engraved with symbols recorded in various earth temples, all of which are words of prayer for the god of the earth.

The entire totem pole is made of pure metal, the solid one, extremely weighty.

As a result, Lausanne can safely put it anywhere. After all, in this city, I am afraid that no one can pick up this thing. Maybe Neveu can pick it up after taking medicine?But she probably couldn't pick up what was judged to be a weapon.

"Where's Neveu?"

When the team set off, Ix finally discovered the fact that there was one person missing from the team.

It was probably because five people had been acting together all along, and now that she was following a big barbarian, Neveu, who was also of a small size, disappeared for a long time before she realized it.

"She asked for leave."

Juggernaut, I can't do it again.

At least for a short period of time, he can't get up again. Sheld still remembers seeing Neveu lying on the bed in the morning "peacefully".

The face with a little baby fat is sunken a little.

"Ask for leave?"

Ikes' eyes widened: "Why did she ask for leave?"

"You do not know?"

Sheld briefly explained: "I was vomiting and diarrhea."

"But weren't you at the hotel last night?"

"Yeah, I'm already asleep."

"Can you sleep in that situation last night?"

Shield marveled at Ix's ability to sleep.

"Ah... You said there were wild beasts screaming last night? I used earth elements to thicken the walls of the room, and it was barely ok."

This sentence made Shield not know where to start complaining.

The cry of wild beasts——Shield glanced at Lausanne who was leading the way, which was quite appropriate in every sense.

It was the first time that the Qinggu Adventure Group was absent from a one-person adventure. This was a memorable event. Sheld decided to record this day in his small notebook.
