After lunch, Boom and his party finally returned to their temporary residence. As expected, the so-called "small courtyard" was twice as big as the one Boom had lived in before. The walls, which were more than five meters high, were uneven, but
But it is better than solid. "Rugged", this is Christine's first impression of Wudun City.
Perhaps because of the purchase of a large amount of snacks, Rikka seemed very well-behaved that afternoon. At this moment, the little girl was chewing milk tablets contentedly while reading romance novels. Perseus was sitting in the yard, the pure white
His pupils are always staring at the courtyard door.
"That should be the palace of the great leader of the orcs over there. It's really spectacular. It's even more exaggerated than King Augu's palace."
Boom stood by the window, looking curiously at the largest building in Udun City. It was a hundred meters high, and each stone pillar was like a sky-high object, and there were also poems praising the old gods carved on it.
The ferocious statue has been baptized by the years, but it is still lifelike to this day. The pattern that symbolizes the abyss and the unknown realm seems to connect every giant rock.
"It is indeed the palace of the great leader of the orcs, but to be precise, it should be called the 'Temple of Gaia'."
"It's just that now this 'Gaia Temple' has long existed in name only, and the number of outsiders who come to feast their eyes on it far exceeds the number of orc pilgrims."
"The reason for this situation starts with the death of the 'troll astrologer'."
The Temple of Gaia was originally the residence of the orc shamans, a holy place dedicated to the old gods, and the home of the "orc oracle". Hundreds of thousands of years ago, war broke out in the golden plain, and gunpowder smoke replaced the blue sky and white clouds.
The blood eventually gathers into the river of ancestors.
The masters of the habitats of all beasts change frequently. Each group hopes that it is the ruler, and more groups will do everything possible to kill them. But even so, all the orcs dare not go to the center of the golden plain.
There are riots in the area because the temple of Gaia stands there.
As time goes by, time flies. Although the Golden Plains luckily survived the era of violent beasts in ancient times, and although it resisted the weird magic circles of space magicians, it gradually withdrew from the ranks of the strong. The backward lifestyle and the old-fashioned
Dogma and belief, plus never-ending civil strife.
Finally, one early morning, all the orc shamans, led by the Oracle, walked out of the Gaia Temple and decided to grant peace to the golden continent in the name of the old gods.
Seven owls soared into the sky and flew in different directions in an instant, and what was tied to their ankles was a small mask that symbolized the identity of the oracle.
Three days later, roaring noise surged on the horizon, and the leaders of the seven major groups of lions, tigers, leopards, elephants, wolves, foxes, and birds gathered in the Temple of Gaia.
No one knew what they talked about, but two days later, each of the seven major groups came again with their own vassals. From that day on, pure-blooded orcs were officially reduced to orc aristocrats, but they were never allowed to step into the world.
Enter the Temple of Gaia, and you are not allowed to participate in the major decisions of the orcs.
The Golden Plains is jointly controlled by seven major groups, and the first leader of the orc tribe was the top master of the tiger tribe who was known as the "cut-throat beast".
Time once again advanced for three hundred years, and finally the city of Wudun was built, and the orcs also began a new journey, and the habitat of all beasts completely withdrew from the stage of history.
That year, the orc Oracle fulfilled his promise and led most of the shamans to leave the Temple of Gaia and settle in the Starlight Grassland. This was the Oracle's complete abandonment of commanding the orcs, and it also reflected the recognition of the status of Udun City.
.From that day on, orc shamans were viewed more as psykers, meat grinders in war, rather than servants of the Old Gods.
The Oracle has no complaints about this. On the contrary, every year he selects young shamans with good qualifications to rush to Wudun City to obey the orders of the orc leader.
But this peaceful day was completely overturned one night, because the Oracle sensed the crisis in the future. It was the day of catastrophe that the orcs could not avoid. The only thing he could do was to clean up some trash fish in advance.
, and the largest one among them is the leader of the Troll Witch Doctor and the Troll Astrologer who is as famous as himself.
But he never expected that the other party had already sensed the approaching danger from the sky more than ten days ago, and that night was also the critical moment when the trolls planned to escape from the habitat of all beasts.
I won’t go into details about the subsequent process. In the end, the troll astrologer fought for his life for several hours, and the leader of the troll tribe even lost his head and died in an extremely tragic manner. Fortunately, some tribesmen carried wooden stakes and floated to the Cold Halberd Sea.
, Fortunately, the population was not completely wiped out by this catastrophe.
After learning the result, the orc oracle stood in the night all night. When the first light of dawn lit up the golden plain, he also died due to the chaos of magic power in his body. He only left the great leader of the orc clan with one
There was only one line of small words on the note: Control your temper, recharge your batteries, and when the flowers bloom, the orcs will rise.
The story ends here. From that day on, Udun City opened its city gates and began to trade with other forces. Although this behavior of the orcs is very strange, the world is also happy that the price of spices is decreasing day by day, and dairy products are no longer on the tables of the nobles.
Exclusive food on.
The Temple of Gaia is still the Temple of Gaia, but now it is not a contemporary oracle, but the leader of the orc tribe. Its main function now is to hold royal meetings every day and receive distinguished guests from the orc tribe.
As for the statues and patterns that praise the old gods, they seem to have been reduced to some kind of decoration.
Christine's words ended abruptly. She learned these things in the Star City Library. Although there are definitely some differences, they must not be too far apart.
"Compared to Wudun City, I am actually more curious about the Starlight Grassland in the north of the Golden Plains, or the gathering of shamans."
Christine added another sentence, then picked up the coffee cup and started drinking it. As a great mage, she naturally wanted to find an orc shaman to fight.
"So the Temple of Gaia now exists in name only? It has become the private residence of the leader of the orcs? This kind of thing is really unimaginable."
"I don't know if the oracle back then would be so angry that he would crawl out of the coffin if he knew about it."
Boom smiled bitterly and shook his head. He was not an orc, and he had no friendship with the orcs. Naturally, he would not sympathize with the other party for no reason.
On the contrary, there is a posthumous friendship between Boom and his party and the ogre tribe, and the ogre tribe is the unlucky man who followed the troll tribe and left their homeland. After weighing the two, Boom naturally accepted what Christine had said before.
Those words were regarded as a story, and they did not generate any empathy at all.
"Haha, what you said is a bit unreasonable. If the orcs hear it, it will be difficult for us to leave Wudun City." Christine pursed her lips and chuckled. Although she was also a foreigner, she did not come.
She has never believed in any old gods. Because in her eyes, only the strong can control their own destiny, and praying to the old gods has nothing to gain except a waste of time.
"Oh, why don't you two have any sympathy at all? What a tragic story, what a fascinating time, old gods, please forgive the two lost lambs in front of me."
However, Rikka, who had been lying on the bed, curled her lips when she heard this. However, although the little girl was praising the old gods, her gestures were the prayers of the gods, which naturally seemed wrong. This is also Rikka's character.
Flaw, the little girl often falls into her own thoughts and often moves herself.
