Chapter 821 Statues of the Gods! The dark side is always cold and damp!
The giant chrysalis returns to the giant rock cradle, the Wonder House is taken into the dimensional space, the last wisp of white smoke drifts out from the bonfire, and the morning mist and the rainbow that never disappears become increasingly hazy.
A week later, the three of Boom stepped out of the Rainbow Rainforest and moved closer to the final destination of the trip. The spotless black robes made a hunting sound in the early winter, the elegance of the mixed-blood elf had been meticulous for thousands of years, and the figure of the ancient ferocious beast was still jumping up and down.
.
The night dew ceased, and the morning light moved. Finally, one afternoon, a group of people stood outside Star City. The spider flag blocked a large area of the sky. Although the city wall was somewhat worn, the sacred texts on it were clearly visible. The carriages of nobles came and went in an endless stream.
The illusion of being in another world still exists in Boom's heart.
Star City, the main city of the Principality of Moronil, the origin of the Scholar Principality, a pure land outside all disputes. I don’t know since when, Star City has become the orb at the top of the scepter of successive Ogu kings. No matter how the owner changes, this
The scepter remains unscathed.
From the secrets of the ancient era of ferocious beasts, to the rise of the nine principalities, from the fall of the old gods, to the establishment of the Hall of Valor by the gods. History has never been lost, and has never been forgotten by the world.
From the sewing of the first dress, to the dazzling array of top hats and brooches, from the break between the nobility and the poor, to the continuation of this system to this day. What is dogma, it is just a framework for distinguishing high and low.
From the advent of the first bottle of magic potion, to the improved products based on it, from doctors going to the main cities of major principalities, to keeping records of medical visits all night long. From now on, no one dares to look down on scholars anymore, because they can bring the dead back to life.
From the low bells of the church, to the almsgiving scene at the door of the monastery, from the chanting of sacred texts that no one cares about, to the countless fanatical believers prostrate on the ground. Star City slowly transformed and eventually became a place of pilgrimage for people of faith.<
/p>
Stepping into the city gate, what hits you is not the chaos in your mind, let alone the hustle and bustle. The spotless bluestone road leads straight into the distance, and the shops on both sides give off the atmosphere of fireworks. Fortunately, mercenary groups pass by each other from time to time.
However, although the smell of sweat is still despicable, it also adds some popularity to Star City.
The chanting of sacred texts was ups and downs, and the statues of the gods everywhere were lifelike. The candlelight flickered in the solemn church, and the laughter of the orphans in the monastery was so heart-wrenching. The servants of God who declared the will of the gods on the street talked loudly, but Boom didn't know what to do in his hands.
When there was an extra piece of brown paper, he quietly crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the trash can.
Rikka's smile went from bright at first, to doubt in the middle, and finally turned cold and angry. Christine smiled bitterly and remained silent, because like her brothers and sisters, she neither believed in the old gods nor recognized the gods.
.
"Brother, the prices here are so high. A piece of sugar cake costs two gold coins, and a glass of orange juice costs twenty copper coins!"
"Na na na, it's just the most common smoked river shrimp, only half a pound. Anyway, Rikka is very unhappy, so why don't we leave here right away!"
Rikka has been dependent on Boom, an orphan, since she was a child, so even if there are mountains of gold coins in the dimensional space, the little girl will subconsciously compare the prices.
Originally, Rikka thought that no matter how deified Star City was, it was only one of the nine principalities of the Augu Continent, and prices would not be much higher. But the fact was exactly the opposite. The consumption level in Star City was far higher than that of the Augu King City.
, even surpassing the Qadian City of the Principality of Shayul.
"Now that you're here, don't worry about those gold coins. Let's find a place to stay first, and we'll talk about other things after dinner."
Boom patted Rikka on the shoulder, and then pulled the little girl towards the mercenary union. After countless previous experiences, the mercenary union was the most ideal place to find out information, and most of the time it would not cost a single copper coin. Christine followed the brothers and sisters without saying a word, but her eyes vaguely glanced at a shadow, while the two guys inside stood on end and did not dare to follow them.<
/p>
More than two hours later, Rikka's eyes almost filled the alley, Boom also smiled bitterly and shook his head, and Christine threw a money bag to him very grandly.
Thirty gold coins a day, and there are only two wooden houses in the small courtyard, which are still in a dilapidated state with piles of dust. The Moronian merchant smiled and turned to leave, and his appearance almost made Rikka go berserk.
"Rikka is so pitiful. This is the robe she just put on yesterday. The brocade alone costs more than thirty gold coins! It's all stained. My brother is bullying me, and so is my sister Christine!"
The room was finally cleaned, but except for Christine, the brother and sister seemed to have returned to their appearance as orphans in the royal city.
"Thank you for your hard work. I'll cook dinner today. You two can take a rest." Boom sighed, feeling that the trip to Star City was a bit unsatisfactory.
After hearing this, Rikka climbed directly onto the bed, and then she started to feel angry and sulky. Christine lit the fireplace and didn't forget to make a pot of tea for Boom.
After dinner, the three people's backs were elongated in the candlelight. Rikka still looked angry, while Boom always comforted the little girl.
"Star City, the heart of the Principality of Moronil. It is said that this place is the back garden of the gods, the place where the sacred text first appeared, and the birthplace of the ancient continent."
"But in my opinion, these rumors are just a way to influence people's thinking. Although they are not very clever, they are recognized by the world and continue to this day."
"The aliens believe in the old gods, while the Augu mainland believes in the gods. But just as the aliens are fighting each other, there has never been peace between the nine principalities and the city of Augu."
"The Principality of Magic Roniel has always used the banner of 'Servant of God' to restrain the thoughts, words and deeds of the human race with the power of faith. This is the most insidious method, but it is also the most effective strategy."
"The Temple of Gaia has integrated the major orc tribes through similar means. It is estimated that the Principality of Moroniel also hopes for the same, but it has not yet achieved its wish."
Christine's voice echoed in the room, and Rikka gradually stopped messing around, with a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes. Boom shook his head, because he had never believed in the gods.
"In that case, Star City is just like the wall at the end of a dark alley! From a distance, there doesn't seem to be anything unusual, but if you get closer, you will find that it is covered with green moss and vomit.
And there are countless bedbugs and cockroaches!”
Rikka tilted her little head and said, and then she reached out and swatted a moth to death. Boom nodded and agreed with Rikka's statement.
"I didn't expect that silly girl would have a flash of inspiration, but you were only half right."
"If Star City is compared to the wall in the dark alley, then most of the so-called 'scholars' are bedbugs and cockroaches, and these disgusting creatures seem to be dormant in the darkness, but they always yearn for the light and always
Spying on the throne of King Ogu."
"Unify the beliefs of the nine principalities, and then finally override King Ogu! Perhaps this is the true face of the Principality of Moronil, and perhaps this is the truth behind the statues of the gods."
Christine's words stopped abruptly, and then she picked up the coffee cup as usual. Rikka jumped off the bed indifferently and began to prepare a supper for the three of them.
As for Boom, he silently cast his gaze towards the night sky. The world is far from as simple as he thought. The major forces are complicated and only interests are the eternal truth.
