Aiwass and the dwarf Maghammer could be said to have a very happy conversation, and they soon entered the stage of becoming brothers.
Haina's father and Aiwass are both at the third level, but one of them is a blacksmith and the other is a priest. They both belong to the path of devotion and have similar personalities, so they still have some things in common.
Aiwass didn't know much about the dwarves. It was only through Magnet Hammer's chat that he gradually understood why the conflict between the dwarves and the elves was so intense.
Elves and dwarves are both races that focus on the path of devotion and believe in many gods. That is why there is such a strong and irreconcilable racial conflict - just like Avalon and giants, the sons of the moon and werewolves.
However, Si Zhu is the oldest pillar god of the path of devotion, and it is not like the path of authority and the path of love.
But even so, following the same path, but following different gods at the end of the path... Heretics are more hateful than heretics.
The blacksmith who devotes himself to the path belongs to the profession of Yan Tiansi, just like the Fallen Heaven Division controls the demon scholars. The demon scholars whose power comes from the Fallen Heaven Division are naturally hostile to the Curse Masters whose power comes from the Snake Father.
Yantiansi is the second most powerful god on the path of devotion, ruling over the realms of fire, steel and casting. Its power is like fire, and it continues to get stronger.
Because with the development of the times and the development of the industrial revolution, she is constantly actively devouring—or assimilating other heavenly officials and apostles who are on the path of devotion. The scale of her domain is still expanding.
Aiwass remembered that she would soon get the power of "steam" and continue to move towards "guns" and "machines" about four or five years later. By version 6.0 - the version when his adoptive father was the BOSS,
The dwarves, who have been dormant for many years, are about to enter the world stage on a large scale.
Flames can spread and rise, and Yan Tiansi also has the power to transcend the path.
Precisely because Mian Tiansi, who had the power of transcendence in the past, defeated the Supreme Heaven and became the Silver Crowned Dragon... Even though Si Zhu and the elves were involved in this process, Yan Tiansi was also feared by the elves.
After all, this is what has happened before and the path has been proven. Nothing is impossible.
From the perspective of the older generation of elves, those Tiansi with transcendent powers are very dangerous.
Because since the Beast Master "resigned" and the Supreme Heaven "resigned", the world has become much more peaceful.
There are no more dangerous monsters in the wilderness that actively attack everyone or even directly attack towns. There are no more crazy people in the world who ignore laws and morals and kill, eat and hurt people at will just to show the power of force.
Although there are still wars, the world has generally become a better place.
Now the elves just hope to maintain the status quo - unlike the Beast Lord and the Supreme Heaven, the current nine pillar gods are relatively friendly. So in a stable environment, any change is detrimental.
——The strong hostility of the elves towards the dwarves comes from this.
Because the dwarves not only believe in Yantiansi. They all believe in six gods including Yingtiansi on the path of love, Yantiansi on the twilight path, and Huantiansi on the transcendental path...all of them are gods.
Si, there is no pillar god.
Judging from the words of Brother Magnetic Hammer, Aiwass noticed that the dwarves were very keen on strengthening their gods and were proud of it——
It's quite weird and very curly.
Because in this world, faith will not bring power. Whether they are apostles, Tiansi or Pillar Gods... these high-level phantoms do not need believers.
If they respond to the ritual or grant power, it is because they are interested in it and are willing to help mortals. Because of this, faith is essentially personal freedom... so the elves will worship the Nine Pillars at the same time.
god.
Because everyone naturally has their own tendencies, preferences and needs, and the Nine Pillars are equal.
There is no one path that is more powerful or more sacred - if you advocate this concept, it will only cause meaningless wars among believers, and they act completely spontaneously without any recognition and approval from the boss above.
help.
It's almost like a fan who's out of control.
If the Supreme Heaven were still there, the situation would be different. He himself includes the concepts of "ruling because of strength" and "doing whatever he wants because he is the strongest", so the giants will eat all other races, including elves.
--But dwarves are different from all other races.
"The purpose of our faith is to get rewarded."
Magnetic Hammer was not ashamed, and even proudly said: "Because what we give the gods is not just respect and glory, but real power! This is much more than those with long ears!"
Dwarves have a strong sense of race.
They will consciously believe in those Tiansi or apostles who do not belong to the Nine Pillar Gods, especially those who have fewer believers or are weak in strength, and then use the whole family's efforts to achieve success in the time dimension of thousands of years or even longer.
help them rise higher.
The purpose is to get better returns and clearer preferences.
The smart king will eventually leave them, and their powerful force and technology will be overtaken by other countries. Even if they rule many territories, they will be divided sooner or later; even if they have a glorious history, they may be overtaken by unscrupulous descendants in the future.
They gradually forget.
In the long dimension of time, everything may turn into nothingness. All inheritance may not be passed down.
"But only gods are immortal."
The dwarf solemnly raised his fist and saluted the void.
Although faith will not make the gods stronger, there are always ways to help them.
For example, some extremely complex and spectacular spectacle-level rituals are held in the material world, or certain concepts are allowed to flourish or die to strengthen or weaken such concepts.
This is of no use to Nine Pillars God, but it is still useful to Tiansi and Apostles.
And the upper-level phantoms are all wise.
Even if dwarves lick dogs to some extent, they will still react after being licked for thousands of years - at least they will definitely not be able to adapt after being away from them.
Some are repaying a favor, some are deeply moved, and some are fair transactions... But in short, the dwarves really got it. The gods they respect now obviously favor the dwarves, and the dwarves are waiting for him.
One of them is promoted to Pillar God.
——Dad, I don’t want to work hard to become the first generation of rich people, otherwise you can work hard and make me become the second generation of rich people.
...Well, that's an idea.
In order to maintain the purity of its position, there are not many temples of the Nine Pillar Gods in the Yongshuang Empire - even if there are, they are all "specialist temples". Those are the kind of utilitarian temples that worship a god alone for a certain purpose.
Because it is too utilitarian, this is not so much a belief as a part-time job...and it is a belief-based part-time job. It is the kind of family inheritance enterprise that "employees are proud of".
Aiwass also finally understood why the elves regard the dwarves as an "evil race". Because of the transcendent characteristics of these Tiansi, the stronger they become, the more anxious the elves become; while the dwarves are still firmly and persistently helping them.
The bosses grow up - the purpose is self-evident.
Other races will seek the protection of some Celestial Beings to some extent, but they are certainly not as brilliant and utilitarian as the dwarves - they are not simply worshiping these Celestial Beings, but "investing" in these Celestial Beings.
They are not going to be Avalonians, they are going to be gryphons.
Not the people of the Pillar God, but the beloved son of the Pillar God.
...And according to Aiwass's peek into the future, the dwarves' plan was really successful.
In the current version, many elves will even turn around and leave immediately when they see dwarves on the road.
Therefore, if there are many dwarves in an area, there is a high probability that no elves will come to travel and spend money. Also because the elves are rich, many dwarves are racially discriminated against in disguise.
And when this hatred chained back, many dwarves also disliked the elves.
Although this state of mutual dislike cannot be called hatred, and there is no inter-ethnic war, but there is already a state of regional discrimination between them.
Although there are also blacksmiths among the elves, the elves do not prohibit borrowing the power of Tiansi at all. They only require that they must give priority to the Nine Pillar Gods and maintain the first priority.
In the eyes of the dwarves who have not yet made a fortune, this is because the elves are so arrogant and look down on the beliefs of their race - but in fact, the dwarves also recognize the power and nobility of the elves from the bottom of their hearts.
Therefore, these elves who walk on the same path as the dwarves will be considered by the dwarves as "rare normal people among elves" and "good elves who have no airs and can communicate". In addition, those elves whose skills have been passed down by the elf blacksmiths
The human blacksmith will also become "one of their own" in the eyes of the dwarves.
"That's why you raised Haina and Jack..."
Aiwass suddenly realized: "Is it because of this that you will teach your skills to Jack - and you don't want Haina to go to the royal capital?"
"Not really, brother."
Qi Shui touched his beard and replied sincerely: "It is true that I have no wife or children. She saved my life, and I have an obligation to help her.
"But I really don't want Haina to go to the royal capital - even if she doesn't inherit the adaptability of her father's dedication to the path, can't she be an ordinary person? Or I also have a career in the dusk path here... It's rare
The power of the twilight path is so strong here."
The dwarf said angrily.
Aiwass asked casually: "Speaking of which, what is Haina's mother's name?"
The dwarf looked at him doubtfully.
"Isn't that Haina's mother?"
……Um?
Aiwass was stunned for a moment.
Then the dwarf reacted and explained: "Many villagers in this village have no names...except for the children born in these years."
