Li Ziyu could feel the soul power emanating from the cemetery, and he was sure that the Faye family's cemetery was the prayer cemetery of the undead.
According to the concept of the undead tribe, the prayer cemetery can absorb the power of faith and transform it into the power of the soul. It can also absorb the free soul energy, thereby transforming the corpses buried in the cemetery into the undead. The excess soul power can be
It will be sent to the Temple of the Dead for preservation.
Naturally, collecting power cannot be completed overnight. It takes a long time to accumulate. At the same time, it requires a large number of people to support it. Go to the Temple of the Dead to pray. The more people who believe, the faster you can collect the power of faith. Bury in the tomb.
The more corpses there are in the garden, the faster the soul power can be collected. The prayer cemetery and the Temple of the Dead complement each other.
Cuisen Mountain City and Sonderborg made the same mistake. In order to show their power, the nobles made the temple and cemetery a place that only nobles could enter and exit. Commoners were not eligible to come. This just reduced their faith.
The absorption of power and soul power.
Sonderborg is better than Cuisin Mountain City. At least their prayer cemetery there is open to the public, and even the corpses of civilians can be buried in it. Therefore, the power of faith in the Temple of the Dead in Sonderburg is extremely lacking, but
There is still a lot of soul energy.
Cuisen Mountain City is even more outrageous. Faye's family not only incorporated the Temple of the Dead into the scope of their mountain fortress, but also occupied the prayer cemetery and regarded the prayer cemetery as their own ancestral tomb.
This is equivalent to using the power of one family to support two buildings. The accumulation of energy is naturally so slow that if they cannot make ends meet, the ghosts will appear on their own to beg Li Ziyu.
Standing in the cemetery, looking around at the gorgeous, exquisite tombstones and tomb chambers with a large number of reliefs and a large area, Li Ziyu turned back to Fa Ye and asked, "How long has this been going on?"
Fa Ye was startled by Li Ziyu's question and asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
His question was very confusing, and it was really hard to understand. Li Ziyu asked again, "I mean, how long has your family used this place as a cemetery?"
Faye understood now, and he said with some hesitation, "Ever since I was a child, this has been our family's cemetery. I don't know the specific time, but it should have been ours when my grandfather's father was here.
It’s the family cemetery.”
Huh, that's not a short time.
It has been classified under my family since my great-grandfather's generation. It must have been more than a hundred or two hundred years ago.
Faye still didn't know what was going on. Seeing Li Ziyu's speechless look, he asked carefully, "Is something wrong?"
Li Ziyu sighed and said to him tiredly, "No, it's very wrong. You just destroyed the city wall by yourself. The reason why the undead in the temple are crying is because of you and the nobles in the city. You are sinners."
!”
By the end of the sentence, Li Ziyu's eyes had stood up, and his tone was mixed with an angry growl.
Fa Ye trembled all over and looked at Li Ziyu in disbelief.
What have we done to suddenly become sinners?
The nobles in Cuisen Mountain City are much better than the nobles in Sonderburg. Although they are divided into inner and outer cities, their attitude towards civilians is still better than Sonderburg.
The identity of the citizens of Cuisen Mountain City was almost the same at first. They were all miners. Later, some of them stood out and became nobles because of their flexible minds and access to more resources.
But after all, they have lived through hard times, and they have not forgotten their identity, so even if they become nobles, they do not look down on the common people completely like other city nobles.
Cuisen Mountain City has developed so well not only because of its mineral resources, but also because they are much more united than other cities. The citizens are at least willing to trust the nobles instead of being in the same boat.
Faye can confidently say that he has been working hard for Cuisen Mountain City all his life to make this city better. At the same time, when others have given up on the Holy Corpse, he still believes devoutly.
There are very few people who can take the initiative to go to the temple to pray.
He really couldn't understand how he could become a sinner.
If someone else had said this, he would definitely take that person down and charge him with slander.
But the person who said this now is the person who controls the holy corpse. Even the holy corpse in the temple is still crying to him and begging for his help.
Faye didn't dare to refute, but his eyes said "I don't believe it, I'm right."
Li Ziyu knew from the look in his eyes that he was dissatisfied, so he asked, "Do you know what is going on in the temple and the cemetery?"
The temple and the cemetery were both a long time ago. Let alone Faye, even his great-grandfather might not be able to explain clearly. He could only shake his head to express that he was unclear.
Li Ziyu recognized Faye's honesty, nodded, and explained to him, "The full names of the temple and cemetery are the Temple of the Dead and the Prayer Cemetery. The real names of the holy corpses you talk about are the Undead.
The two buildings, the Temple of the Dead and the Prayer Cemetery, were built by the undead clan for their dependent races, in order to protect their dependents."
Fa Ye naturally knew that the temple would protect the city. He nodded and waited for Li Ziyu's next words.
Li Ziyu did not disappoint him, and went on to say, "The temple and the cemetery will naturally form the holy corpses you talk about. The two complement each other and can complement each other. However, the holy corpses are not formed without reason and require energy. You
Understand?"
Fa Ye was stunned by these words and shook his head blankly. No one had ever mentioned to him how the holy corpse appeared or how it was formed. Even legends had no such record.
All he knew was that there was a holy corpse in the temple.
In fact, it was normal that he didn't know. After all, when the undead built the temple of the dead and the prayer cemetery, they would only tell their relatives what they needed to do. As for what would happen if they did so, they didn't bother to explain.
The dependents only need to act according to their orders, knowing so much about what to do.
But the undead did not expect that the dependents are intelligent beings, and their lifespan is not permanent. They are enterprising and curious, and the inheritance from generation to generation will be distorted, so it became what it is now.
Seeing that Fa Ye didn't understand, Li Ziyu had to explain further, "Whether it is a temple or a cemetery, if you want to produce a holy corpse or repair the injuries of a holy corpse, you need two kinds of power, one is called the power of faith, and the other is the power of faith.
It’s called the power of the soul. The temple mainly absorbs the power of faith and can store the power of the soul, while the prayer cemetery mainly absorbs the power of the soul and can transform part of the power of faith.”
"The source of the power of faith comes from the devout believers in the city. After you enter the temple and pray, the temple will receive the power of your faith. The power of the soul comes from you being buried in the cemetery.
The corpse among them.”
As Li Ziyu explained, Fa Ye's face became more and more ugly, and he gradually began to understand what was going on.
You are right, they are sinners!
Especially Faye's own family, they are the best among the sinners, and are almost the culprits of everything!
It was their family who built the hill fort and expanded the temple to the area of the hill fort, so that only nobles could go to the temple to pray.
At the same time, their family was selfish and turned the prayer cemetery into a family cemetery. Not to mention common people, even nobles could not be buried in the prayer cemetery.
Over time, fewer and fewer people went to the temple to pray, and fewer and fewer people were buried in the cemetery.
According to what Li Ziyu said, the power of faith and soul collected in the temple and cemetery are also constantly decreasing, until the holy corpses can't even repair the injuries they caused in the battle, and are forced to fall into a deep sleep.
middle.
"Sinner, I am a sinner."
Faye trembled all over and suddenly fell to his knees, mumbling to himself, as if all his strength was suddenly drained from his body. Waves of coldness came from his heart, making him cry silently.
After working so hard to take care of Cuisen Mountain City, in the end it was his own family that did the most harm to the city. How could Faye accept this?
Torento, who followed Li Ziyu and Faye, was also dumbfounded. He didn't know the real situation of the temple and the cemetery. When Li Ziyu talked about it, he felt as if he had been struck by thunder. He was stunned and stupid.
My face was full of disbelief.
On the contrary, Elena didn't feel anything. She kept looking at the tombstone and the tomb chamber, muttering to herself, "The nobles are really good at playing. The tombstones and tomb chambers are made of such good stones to carve patterns. It's like we are all buried directly in the ground."
It's done." She was startled when she suddenly saw Faye kneeling down, her face full of confusion.
Elena is young and a poor person, lower than the common people. Even the common people in Sonderburg are not qualified to contact the temple, let alone her, a poor person who struggles for food and clothing every day.
For Elena, no temple or cemetery is as practical as a full meal. Being hungry will make her cry like Faye.
This is definitely not because she is greedy, but because the feeling of being hungry is really uncomfortable.
Li Ziyu patted Faye on the shoulder and said to him, "What's the use of crying? What problem can it solve? You have to find a way to solve the problem instead of crying. You are the lord of Cuisen Mountain City!"
Yes, I am the city lord!
I am still alive, I can still atone for my sins, and I still have a chance to redeem everything!
Faye stopped crying, slowly stood up from the ground, and solemnly said to Li Ziyu, "Thank you for clarifying my doubts. In the days to come, I will do my best to recreate the glory of the temple."
Li Ziyu nodded, "Not only the temple, but also the cemetery. You have to open the temple and the cemetery so that more people can go to the temple to pray. Don't distinguish between civilians and nobles, regardless of their status.
What is it, for us, they are all the same, all identities are worthless to us, as long as we have devout faith, it is enough."
"There is also a cemetery. The cemetery is not for your family. It belongs to the entire Cuisen Mountain City. Everyone should have the opportunity to be buried in the cemetery, no matter rich or poor, young or old, male or female."
No matter whether they are women, they are eligible to be buried in the cemetery! Their identity cannot determine their future, and death is not the end."
Li Ziyu represents the undead tribe, and these two sentences are very undead.
The undead are an extremely special race. For them, death is not scary at all. After all, they come from death. The end of life is a new beginning for them. How can the undead turn into undead?
As for your identity in life, it really doesn't make any difference to the undead. Even if you are a king, when you die, you are just a zombie with a shriveled body, or a skeleton. Well, maybe you can be transformed into a ghost, even with the skeleton.
All gone.
Faye nodded solemnly, "I understand. I will act according to your will. I will let more people come to the temple to pray. I will open the cemetery to everyone, regardless of men, women, old or young, rich or poor.
You can be buried in the cemetery."
After receiving Fa Ye's assurance, Li Ziyu nodded with satisfaction.
Faye acted very quickly. After leaving the cemetery, he immediately summoned the nobles of Cuisen Mountain City and told them about the opening of the temple and cemetery.
"If this doesn't work, how can we let those untouchables enter the inner city!"
"Yes, they don't know the rules of the inner city, which will make the inner city chaotic."
"This breaks the rules too much."
"The common people don't know how to pray. It's useless to let them come. It's better not to let them come."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Sir City Lord, that is your family cemetery, how can you let others be buried in it?"
The nobles reacted very strongly. No one agreed with Faye's idea of opening the temple and cemetery. Instead, they all opposed it. They did not want civilians to enter the inner city.
Although they are stronger than the nobles in other cities, they still have contact with the common people in the outer city, but that is because they go from the inner city to the outer city to contact the common people, rather than putting the common people into the inner city.
In the view of the nobles, there is an essential difference.
The inner city is the inner city, where the nobles live, and has completely different rules than the outer city.
Letting civilians in at will will not only affect the normal operation of the inner city, but also bring instability. People in the outer city will not abide by the rules like people in the inner city, and things like theft and murder may happen!
Faye looked at the quarreling nobles, his face gradually turned cold, and he slowly said, "In the past year, have any of you been to the temple and prayed seriously?"
The city lord's words immediately silenced the nobles present. You looked at me and I looked at you, all feeling slightly embarrassed.
You can't tell a lie about whether you went or not. After all, the Faye family's mountain fort and the temple are so close. If you want to go to the temple, you have to pass by the mountain fort. Who went and who didn't go, Faye will
do you know?
Of course Faye knew it. In fact, in the past year, no one went to the temple through the mountain fort!
Faye looked at the silent nobles and asked, "Aren't your ancestors miners who mined ore underground? Are your backgrounds nobler than the common people outside? Or do you feel that in the eyes of the holy corpse?
Are you equally superior?"
After asking three questions in a row, the faces of the nobles became very ugly.
It has been a long time since they were miners. Some nobles were even ashamed that their ancestors were miners, but at this time, the city lord brought them up to speak.
Aristocrats are aristocrats. In their eyes, they are naturally noble. Although they treat civilians well, it does not mean that they are the same as civilians!
As for the holy corpse, hey, I don’t know whether there is a holy corpse. Besides, how do you, Faye, know that we are no more noble than common people in the eyes of the holy corpse?
Taking a deep breath, Faye calmed down and continued, "No need to say more about opening the temple and cemetery. This is my decision. You just need to implement it. You have to remember that we are here because of the temple.
And Jiancheng survives because of the protection of the holy corpses. Everything we have is given by the holy corpses. Without them, we would have become the food of the monsters in the wilderness!"
When Li Ziyu finished supplies and was about to leave Cuisen Mountain City, the temple and cemetery were already open to civilians. Fa Ye's actions were very fast, which made Li Ziyu feel very satisfied.
