There seems to be no rules for this dinner party that everyone in the village can attend. Maybe we were wrong to associate it with religion at first: it may be just a local custom, and the belief in the goddess is deeply rooted.
In every corner of the world, there is a link like "priests distributing meat" that has a bit of theocratic meaning - because apart from this link, we can't find anything related to religious beliefs from the scene.
…
In fact, similar customs and habits exist in many places and are common on the earth. The more backward the economy and the more primitive the social structure, the more this kind of custom can prevail and spread in various forms. People
During the harvest season, or when a large amount of prey is caught, or on any other day of special significance, the whole village is mobilized to hold such a grand event. This primitive and simple celebration is often very simple.
It means that everyone gathers together to have a good meal. There will be no dazzling artistic performances during the period, and no leaders will give opening and closing speeches. Every household will bring out the food and other things in a tacit understanding, and gather together with everyone.
Share, if you have a lot of food left at home, take more. If you don’t have a lot of food left at home, just move out a table and three or four chairs. Villagers who don’t have much material use this way to enjoy what they see as “abundance.”
"Days", as long as they are lively enough, even eating a big pot of rice outside in the wind will be fun - this is the kind of activity we have in front of us. It is not a religious ceremony or a legal holiday, it is just that the stupid guy has beaten back enough for the whole village.
It was a big bear to eat, so everyone gathered together to have a meal of meat.
Maybe it’s because we are usually too busy in another world and have been exposed to too many complex conspiracies and formal scenes. Now we are suddenly thrown into a place where everyone’s motives are so pure. We were a little overthinking at first, but when we wait
After putting all these trivial matters aside, everyone still happily got together with this group of enthusiastic villagers. In the blink of an eye, Qianqian ran away without knowing where she was: she was most likely with a group of children.
Wandering around like a child king; Hueska also wandered beside me and then disappeared. The girl's curiosity and activity were second only to Qianqian. She might be studying the rough snacks on someone's table now.
She was probably studying the foundation of someone's house; Pandora was quite well-behaved. She sat next to me honestly, gnawing on bones with a dull expression, and her little head was moving bit by bit like a puppy concentrating on eating. I rubbed it smoothly.
The little girl's hair, she raised her head and said two words: "Brother. Xian."
"Um, you put too much salt." I pushed the porridge bowl in front of her: this porridge was also cooked by the fierce priest who tied the priest's robe around his waist. The so-called whole village dinner actually consisted of two types of food: stewed meat,
You have to bring your own rice porridge and everything else. Everyone took out the snacks or dry food prepared by each family last night and put them on the big table in the center. Everyone can take them freely. Our family also contributed ten kilograms of cake cuttings.
——This move won quite a lot of favor among the villagers, and Pandora got a stool that was much higher than others...
I looked around and found that this was basically a buffet of unprecedented scale, and that the fierce priest had taken some time off, and now he was squatting in an inconspicuous place outside the crowd, watching the scene happily. The priest's robes were still there.
The apron was tied around his waist, and he looked like he didn't intend to dine with everyone. I asked Lin Xue to stay here with Pandora, while I got up with Bingtis and walked to the side of the incredible "clergyman".
"Do you mind having a conversation?" I sat down on a stone on the side of the road and greeted this "country pastor".
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just free." The fat black man nodded cheerfully, pointing to the goddess pendant hanging on his chest, "The goddess said you should be willing to listen to others. I think this is quite right.
.”
Bingtis was sitting on the other side of me. Hearing this, he couldn't help but muttered to himself: "How many years have passed since the old man died? This teaching may be borrowed by a middle-school boy who has been suppressing it on an uninhabited island for seven or eight years."
Made up in the name of God.”
I quickly coughed twice to cover up the female gangster's voice: "Ahem... I haven't asked yet, what is your name?"
"Oh, just call me Ron. The Christian name is too confusing, I didn't even remember it myself," the fat black man lifted up his priest's robe and fanned himself. Although it was late autumn here and the weather was already cold, maybe it was just now
The heat of cooking a big pot of rice has not subsided, and Ron's face is still a little sweaty. He looked at Bingtis and I who were sitting directly on the ground, with a smile on his face, "I heard that you are scholars and curses from the imperial capital.
Magician, but he is quite easy to talk to. I have also dealt with the big shots in the imperial capital, and it’s really tiring to talk to them. I can’t even raise my voice or lower it.”
It seems that this is a sweet-tempered person who is easy to talk to. It is not difficult to deal with this kind of person as long as he loses his temper. I feel confident in my heart. At this time, I also had the opportunity to take a good look at the image of this priest Ron: he is a
A tall middle-aged man, his face somewhat resembles that of black people from North America. The priest is very strong. In addition to the muscle lines exposed under his clothes, he is also a little fat on his belly. His skin is dark, and the middle part of his head is
He is still a little bald, with dark brown hair that has not been taken care of much, forming a crater around his head, and a stubble on his chin that has not been shaved for several days. This look is far from that of a monk who is supposed to have a kind-hearted face.
Far far away, it looks like someone who went astray and was reformed for two years and was just released. If this image were on earth, he would be able to summon the police by just walking around in front of the police station without doing anything. A timid taxi
The driver would not dare to take such a person to any place other than the Fourth Ring Road after eight o'clock in the evening...
"You really don't look like a priest," I couldn't help but say, and then quickly added to prevent the custom of this world from talking about faith based on muscles, "it doesn't fit the image of a priest in my mind."
Ron seemed to have been used to others saying this for a long time, and his expression was very calm: "Well, you are quite right, I don't even think I am qualified to do this - but I have really studied in a serious seminary, and in
I have stayed in the imperial capital for two years, and I am considered the most 'capable' person in the village. I could have stayed in the imperial capital for two more years to be an assistant bishop in a small city, but it's a pity that I am not up to par, and I really can't stand their attitude.
I just piled up the rules and went back to the village to be a priest. Hehe..."
"Well, I have a good temper with you," Bingtis said angrily as a goddess to a church member who dared to drop out of the seminary. "If I had had the determination to drop out of school, I would have
It won’t take so long.”
Ron looked at Bingtis in a daze. I guess this is the first time in his life that he has seen someone wearing a noble dress calling himself mother. Actually, he doesn’t need to be so surprised. It is also the first time in his life that he has seen a priest.
The robe is tied around the waist as an apron...
"Speaking of which, we have been traveling around the world and studying wild animals in recent years, and we are almost out of touch with human society." Seeing that the time was about right, I used the pretense of traveling around the world again: after a day of tinkering and perfecting, this pretense became
Now it can basically be used to deceive and deceive without exposing the truth. "Now my wife is also a little dissatisfied with such a life of wandering around. Our family plans to settle down for a while. It just so happens that I also study theology and cultural legends of various places.
.After running outside for so many years, I found that not many people seem to be interested in how many wild animals there are in the wild. There is a way out to study the things between people..."
I tried hard to create an image of an aggrieved scholar who had been struggling for several years and was ready to change his job. I hoped to change the topic to theology and folklore, and at the same time, I used my vicissitudes of life (as I thought) to look for the shallowness in the crowd.
figure: After all, he had dragged her into it when he was making nonsense just now. According to the general script, when a man laments that his family is suffering because of him, he should focus on his wife, but the place where Lin Xue sits is blocked by someone.
I couldn't see it. As soon as I saw Qian Qian's figure, the girl ran over happily and shook my arm: "Arjun, Arjun, I heard that there is a dragon in the nearby mountains. When can we go and visit?"
I:"……"
This moment of stunned attention disappeared. I told Ron with a distorted face: "Then what, the person I said I wanted to settle down was actually another person..."
Fortunately, Miss Lin didn't jump out to cause trouble at this time, and even more fortunately, Ron was not very interested in inquiring into other people's private affairs. He showed me an understanding expression and nodded: "Well, I understand, you have to settle down after being outside for a long time.
, and I see you have two children with you..."
"Those are my sisters. The older one is called Pandora, and the younger one is called Viska. Actually, they are both big girls. It was because they took the wrong medicine when they were young that they didn't grow taller - so it's best not to irritate them in this regard."
As soon as I said this nonsense, I felt like two 1.2-meter-tall heat sources in the crowd began to muffle their anger again: Is this an illusion?
"Oh, so that's what happened. Your family is quite lively." Ron had no idea that two short winter melons were destroying the world in his mind. On the contrary, they seemed closer to me because of my shortcomings. "What you just said
That's right, the outside world is not peaceful. How many good things can be found in the barren mountains and mountains? Even if there are good things, they may not be destined to be studied. Now that several big countries have finally signed a peace treaty, Dark Moon has begun to become more and more unstable.
It is said that black armies have begun to gather outside. They are either demons or other monsters, or Dark Moon people such as monsters. Most people have no time to hide. Who would be interested in these things? Now except mercenaries and adventurers
Home, no one goes to those places anymore. It’s better to study some knowledge in books. Little brother, I think you speak quite honestly, unlike ordinary nobles, but I still have to say that in this regard, with your status,
It’s suitable to study the things left by our ancestors in the house like them: someone must take care of those things, right? After the five Dark Moon Wars, even half of the goddess’s name is left. What’s the matter?”
My heart moved. It seemed that it was the right decision to approach this priest. The stupid guy might have heard about the legends that are well known in the world, but the Ron in front of me was obviously an expert, even though his image made people not think of an expert.
Scholar, but it seems those two years of seminary were not in vain...
I pretended to be casual and said: "Every war is a loss of lives. For the common people, war has no beneficiaries. But I haven't studied history much before. How about we talk about the Dark Moon War? Of course you want to
If you’re not interested, let’s change the topic.”
I wasn’t sure whether the fat, dark man in front of me, who looked half like a cook and half like a prison cook, was interested in such literate topics, so I blocked him with such a sentence. I didn’t believe that he was really embarrassed to nod.
One sentence: Well, let’s change the topic...
Fortunately, Ron didn't resist this at all, but nodded happily: "I'm good at talking about this. What I majored in back then was the scriptures related to the history of the gods and the Dark Moon War, but no one in the village was interested in these.
I haven’t talked about this in years, and I don’t know if I have forgotten all the things I learned back then—which part do you want to hear?”
I thought for a while: "Well, since you are an expert, then you treat me as a student waiting to be taught. Starting from the first Dark Moon War, follow your method of telling religious stories, preaching scriptures, and preaching. In this way, you
Should be good at it.”
Ron laughed happily, probably because he had not done the work of a missionary for a long time, and he seemed a little extra happy. He took out a Bible with the smell of barbecue from his arms. He put his hand on the book cover solemnly: "Goddess
Ah, I am going to tell people about the Dark Moon War. According to the teachings, I swear an oath to the scriptures to check my thoughts with loyal beliefs, tell others the truth, and be pious when mentioning your old man's name. Mention the Dark Moon Great
You will always recite your old man’s name silently to protect the trainees’ souls.”
I quickly sat up straight: I didn't expect that "Dark Moon" was such a solemn topic in the goddess's teachings.
"The Dark Moon is another world above our heads. Of course you all should know this," Ron swore and pointed at the sky with his hand. The "world" in his mouth was obviously limited to the planet: for the locals, the world
The scope has not extended to the size of the universe. "The goddess told us that in the very far ancient times, there was a long bridge connecting the earth and the moon. At that time, the moon was not what it is now. It was smooth and bright, with a harmonious and harmonious appearance.
The earth and the clear ocean are as bright as the Hessenwood world under our feet. The dark moon and the earth are like a pair of twins, jointly carrying all things in the world created by the goddess, moving forward in chaos. At that time, there were no people on earth and
The difference between the people of Dark Moon is that all races are freely distributed on the earth and the moon. The long bridge to the sky makes people go back and forth between the moon and the earth as easily as going home. This period of peace is the first era of heaven mentioned in the scriptures. "
Ron paused: "By the way. Some of these are basic knowledge. I'm teaching them in full according to the teachings. If you find it annoying, let's just skip this section - anyway, I taught about Creation in class last year.
I’ll just sleep.”
I quickly waved my hand: "It's okay, it's okay. If you want to learn, you have to start from the basics. You continue."
Ron nodded: "Then let's continue. How long the first Kingdom of Heaven era lasted is unknown now. In short, it was the best time in the world. Although there were conflicts among various races, on the whole, everyone always remembered that they were gods.
People, the goddess protects all things in the dark, and people built the first temples to worship the goddess. Those temples are the holy residences that can still be found today, but they can only be found on the earth. According to the people who left the dark moon expedition
According to the information, all the holy residences on Dark Moon have been demolished - those bastards... Oh, Goddess, forgive me, I have to be calm, decent, and decent."
The first Kingdom of Heaven era ended in a war. There are several theories about the specific process of this incident. The current theory recognized by the divine canon is: the original sinners, that is, the mountain barbarians, suddenly attacked the ancient human kingdom at that time and provoked the third kingdom of heaven.
A truly separatist racial war. In ancient times, there were always conflicts between the mountain barbarians and humans. The mountain barbarians were rough and cruel, unscrupulous, and were born with black magic and divine power. They were not many in number, but they had the advantage of a surprise attack.
The human kingdom was caught off guard and left a trail of scorched earth. But humans reacted quickly, and then contacted the elves, blackwood people, dwarves and several other races in a short period of time to form a coalition to prepare for a counterattack. Mountain
The leader of the barbarians was a cunning guy. He realized that he was no match for so many enemies, so he pretended to be negotiating for peace and invited the leaders of the coalition forces of all ethnic groups to discuss the peace. In order to show his sincerity and dispel the concerns of the coalition leaders, he agreed to
They gathered on neutral territory outside the warring parties. The place they chose was the territory of the Monster Tribe - the Monster Tribe back then was a loose multi-racial tribe. They stayed away from the world and did not participate in any racial affairs, so everyone thought
This was an open and honest negotiation."
Needless to say, I can also guess that the problem is caused by the monster tribe: whenever the words "everyone thinks" appear in this kind of incident, there must be a divine twist later.
Sure enough, Ron was followed closely by: "However, the Monster Tribe has long been seduced by the mountain barbarians using black magic. What happened at that time has been lost, and there is no record in the sacred book whether it was the leader of the mountain barbarians or the Monster Tribe who did it.
If we take action, all the leaders of the coalition forces of all ethnic groups will die violently."
After receiving the news, the coalition forces of all races suffered a huge blow. However, what the mountain barbarians did not expect was that instead of collapse, the coalition forces re-elected leaders in a very short period of time. The kings of the elves and humans even came to the meeting in person.
He became the general of the coalition forces on the battlefield. In a short period of time, the coalition forces resumed their offensive with stronger morale, and this time the monster tribe also became the target of the coalition's attack. Subsequently, the scale of the war expanded beyond everyone's imagination: in the opinion of all human races
When the mountain barbarians and the monster tribe were about to be defeated, all other races on the earth and the moon suddenly announced their participation in the war - and announced that they would join the mountain barbarians' camp. This is the Allied Army of Original Sinners."
Dires, halflings, orcs, and giants were all races that joined the original sinners at that time. After these powerful races formed another coalition, the war immediately spread to all places on the earth and the moon. The army of the original sinners
They were extremely ferocious. They plundered all the countries that were not in the same camp as their own, and all the small neutral races were exterminated. Moreover, while fighting against the coalition forces, they discovered one thing: the leader of the mountain barbarians is immortal!" (To be completed!)
