Chapter 22 The Temple of the Gods
This is the heart of the world, the dual core of Pavatiga, geographically and psychologically.
The endless Duins Mountains blocked the bitter cold wind blowing from the northern ice fields. The Susokalu River flowing under the soul plateau in the eastern brought moist air and rich aquatic products. The fertile soil of the Mukasen Plain in the southern region is harvesting thousands of miles a year, warm and humid, and the seasons are like spring. There is no land in Pavatiga, which is more beautiful and rich than here.
This is the Temple of the Gods, the sacred capital favored by the gods.
Pavatiga never lacks war.
Not counting as the mythical era, the official history of 12,000 years is a bloody history filled with war, killing and death.
Wars between smart creatures and nature, between monsters, between different races, between different countries, and even between different forces, destroyed countless countries and created countless deaths.
The gods did not stop the war, or they were the initiators of the war. In order to compete for faith and for conflict of ideas, they encouraged believers to launch wars, conquer countries of different beliefs, kill all the stubborn pagans, and force the people to change their faith.
All this continued until the end of the chaotic era.
The blood flowed enough, the battle was tired, and the most important thing was that for some reason, the gods were finally tired of war.
Almost all the gods descended to oracles one after another to prevent those meaningless wars, major races, and countries, and finally everyone can sit down and have a good 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, regardless of strength, make oaths to the void in their own divine form, no longer compete for faith in the form of war, and no longer resolve differences by killing.
Therefore, the Temple of the Gods, with two impersonal gods, contract and justice, was established.
The nine hundred and twenty-seven true gods each divided a trace of divinity, and the divinity was concentrated together to form a huge sacred land at the center of Pavatiga, which is the sacred capital favored by the gods, a city between reality and illusion - the Temple of the Gods.
The original temple of the gods was composed of 927 sacred halls. No one built them. They were automatically generated by the divine power of the true gods. Since this is the closest position to the gods in the sense, in order to make worshippers more convenient for the servants to worship, there is a holy land leading to the gods in the deepest part of each sacred hall, that is, the door to the main hall of the church. Higher-level priests can allow themselves or extremely devout believers to travel directly through this door, saving a lot of travel time and avoiding risks during the journey.
At that time, the temple of the gods was only open to the priests, and could only enter and exit through the pilgrimage gate. Although the location was there, it always existed in an illusory space, and its existence could not be observed from the mortal world.
However, most of the sacred halls of gods need to be managed every day, but passing through the pilgrimage gate requires a lot of mental power. Even high-level priests cannot support these people entering and leaving the pilgrimage gate every day, and they can only stay in the temple of the gods. Therefore, as more and more priests are resident, problems arise.
There is a need where there are people, and the priests are also humans, so naturally no exception.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation, daily needs, and various needs come one after another. It is not that you cannot carry a large amount of daily necessities with you when entering and leaving. However, even if you are not afraid of God’s punishment, the priests who open the door cannot afford it. You must know that every time the person who enters and leaves increases, the burden on the person who opens the door increases exponentially.
Therefore, under the prayer of the priests, the gods made changes, and the temple simply appeared in the world.
With the approval of the gods, various secular buildings were built around the Holy Halls, libraries, shops, hotels, taverns, workshops, and even several indescribable special places. This is where the believers of the goddess of desire, one of the three gods of love, are located.
Devout believers are constantly entering this city without lords and laws. Even though everything here is decided by the destiny union of the nine hundred and twenty-seven gods, even if the access qualifications here are strict and strict and the number is strictly limited, the scale is still increasing, and it is now like a real city.
"Praise my Lord, praise the gods, praise the temple of the gods." Walking out of the empty Dark Moon Hall, Shur and Lisa praised the founders of the temple like every other priest who had just arrived. This is a fixed process for the priests. This praise is not against the will of the will, because for the higher priests, the existence of the temple is too convenient, and even if it is thousands of kilometers away, it can be reached in an instant.
Once you go out, you can see that the temples of the gods are obviously different from other cities.
Seventy percent of those walking on the street were priests wearing strange holy robes. Perhaps one second ago, I heard someone in the distance roaring loudly in the dwarf language to praise Olfregan, and the next second, I could hear a sea elves behind me sing the hymn of the goddess Fra in a unique voice like a tide.
The most common scene on the street is that priests of different races, ages and genders wear robes of different colors and styles, compare different prayer gestures, and use different languages to praise different gods as their opening remarks. Everything is completely different, but it happens here, but it creates a very subtle sense of harmony.
Those who have never been here may not even imagine the scene of so many priests gathering together. After all, all this can only be seen in the most unique city of Pavatiga, the Temple of the Gods.
However, Shuer and Lisa did not pay attention to the special scenes that were enough to make the newcomers stupid on the spot. Not only because they were used to it, but the main reason was that their vision was blocked.
What blocked their view was a tree.
Well, it grows at the entrance of the Dark Moon Hall. The roots of the tree are divided into two sides and plunged into the soil on both sides of the corridor. The trunks block the door directly. If people entering and leaving, they will bump into a tree head-on if they are not careful.
An oak tree.
As soon as he saw this tree, Lisa's already 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 skills of logging in the past two days, but I haven't practiced it yet."
"So when I'm not around, don't play language adventure games with those boring guys. Where can you learn that hell logging skill?" Shul pulled the girl back with a laugh and cry, and touched her head comfortably, "Okay, okay, calm down."
"I don't want to calm down. This fool blocked our door again. It's not the first time. Last time I was blocked at the door of the temple, but this time I actually blocked the door of the Holy Hall. Where will I block next time? Are you going to block outside the Crescent Arch in the Kingdom of God by Dark Moon?" Lisa, who has always been polite and sensible, jogged a few steps angrily and kicked the oak tree at the door. "I knew that brother, you're not pure in your visit to the Temple of Gods. As expected, I made an appointment with this wood that blocks the road. Hey, when will you pretend to be, and dodge with me."
"Hey? Shul and Sally, you are here." The oak tree shook and said in a slow speech of the plant-shaped forest spirit. "The soil at the entrance of the Holy Hall is good, it's so comfortable that I accidentally fell asleep."
"Hey, my name is Sally, no, my name is Lisa. You fool deer on purpose." The great Lord Lisa was almost confused by the anger, staring with her waist and staring with her round face, "And if you want to take root, go to the door of your Forest Temple. Don't there often have more than twenty fool tree spirits in a row? Go and be with them."
"Is that true? It turns out that your name is Lisa today (I'm all the time!), OK, it doesn't matter what you call it (very important to me, okay?). The entrance of the Forest Temple is too crowded, it's better here, no one is competing for the place with me."
"That's because you're competing with us!" Every time I meet this hateful Lin Jing, Lisa feels that she will be angry to death. Really, how can my brother tolerate such a bad guy!
"Haha, don't be angry, she deliberately made you angry. Who made you so cute even when you were angry? Of course she liked to tease you. And I didn't ask her, she came by herself." Shur watched the fun next to him for a long time, and then said with a smile, "And Moria, why did you come here? You won't come here just to bully Lisa."
"Hey? Didn't you ask me to come?" Lin Jing shook the branches and said slowly, "On the day Zhuying ended, you said you wanted to be with me..."
"Stop, I know if you continue talking, you will be full of pollen again, and I'm very sure that I didn't say anything that day, and it would be useless for you to pretend to be stupid."
"Hehe, okay, I'm here to wait for you. I guess you will definitely come to bully Sassa, so I'll come and wait for you a while in advance."
"Well, I'm going to go to the library first, but I'm just going to return books. It's just a way to bully Sassa. But how long will it take for you to say? I'm not sure when I'll come."
"It's about half a month. I'm so comfortable sleeping here that I can't remember it."
"Haha, haha." Shure didn't plan to discuss common sense issues with this guy who was obviously not very harmonious with normal creatures. "This is the first time you have come to the Temple of Gods to find me. No, you shouldn't be able to use the Pilgrimage Gate, so how did you come here?"
"Someone wants to see you." Moria suddenly became serious.
Shuer paused and pointed his finger above.
"Well, my mother hopes to go there."
