Yotun, located in the south of Greybean, is a harbor city built around the harbor.
It has a large population, developed maritime transportation, and a prosperous economy. It is called the shining pearl of the Western Continent.
Countries trade here, and the merchant ships in the port gather near the revetment like shrimps. Flags from Secred, Red Earth, Nalenya, and Aenania are flying in various styles.
On board the ship.
After landing, several large-scale markets were built around the pier, where crowds of people were surging, the vendors setting up stalls were bustling, and pedestrians of different cultures and costumes crowded shoulder to shoulder.
Yorkton School, located near the center of the city, is a famous institution of higher learning throughout the empire.
Today, a public exhibition of the Indong Culture Museum was held in the library of their History Department.
The organizer is Carmen Hesmos, a famous professor at Yotton College.
This expert scholar who studies the East Indochina has made profound contributions to the culture of the Valentan people and various mystical knowledge.
The college invited experts and scholars from all over the Western Continent, and some even traveled across the ocean. The pieces of Indian cultural relics and artworks displayed in the venue are all eye-catching. After learning about their history,
, people can’t help but be surprised.
"Most investigators believe that in the customs of the Valentan people, most of the tribes who live by hunting believe in the existence of high-ranking gods."
A tall scholar with gray hair and a face that did not look old stood in the center of the venue and explained enthusiastically to the guests who came to visit.
He has a kind face, a gentle manner, and just the right amount of gentlemanly demeanor.
People were gradually attracted by it and gathered around it.
"Indigenous people believe that high-ranking gods do not directly intervene in people's lives, and are hidden and unnoticed by others."
"Although people sometimes pray to them, the most frequent objects of worship are their messengers. The meaning of the names of these high-ranking gods also refers to a kind of holy power, which is ubiquitous in all things."
"Nature and animals are some concrete expressions of the indigenous people's beliefs. Please take a look at this."
The scholar pointed to a carved wooden pile behind him that was as tall as a person. It was obvious that the tree trunk was carved into an overlapping structure of three strange heads.
None of these three heads have human facial features, they are more like a combination of animals and fantasy.
The bottom head has thick hair, with only a grinning bloody mouth on its surface, and no eyes, nose or ears; the middle head is reminiscent of a cobra, with four small mung bean-like eyes on its head.
On both sides, eight sharp fangs that look like snakes are vividly displayed; the uppermost head looks like a wolf, but its six egg-shaped eyes and its sharp jawline indicate that this "creature" is similar to a wolf.
It's actually irrelevant.
"From top to bottom: coyote, underworld snake, and eyeless lion. The indigenous people call them the Three Holy Gods. They all combine animals with fantasy to materialize the gods in their beliefs. I once...
…”
Halfway through the explanation, the scholar suddenly noticed that a new customer had cautiously come in from outside the venue.
That's a man and a woman.
The woman is wearing a green vest jacket, white trousers and red boots, with short hair and delicate facial features.
The man is wearing a white shirt, overalls, and a peaked cap. He does not look like a scholar or student, but more like an errand boy who delivers telegrams.
"I have explained in my paper that the ten Sixiangs and the twenty-two Sichens derived from the Xingxiang Card are the source of all the gods in human history. It is also like the 'Glory' believed in by the Bright Light Realm.
', the 'Silver-Armed King' of the Life Association, the 'Three Phase Lotus' of the Holy Church, the 'Gaia' of the Blood Circle, etc."
"Everyone who has studied sex cards will definitely find that the three holy gods of Yindong are not among the thirty-two gods. So can we make a bold guess that these three holy gods are actually the Valentine people's interpretation of a certain god?
Modifications and variations of the names of the three Si Chens..."
The scholar talked non-stop for almost the whole day, and it was not until the afternoon that the visiting guests dispersed one after another.
A female student brought him a cup of coffee, and the scholar drank it quickly after taking it.
When he saw the man and woman approaching him, he immediately handed the empty cup back to the female student.
"Aren't you two natives of Yodun?"
After hearing this, the short-haired lady hurriedly handed a brochure to the scholar and said: "Hello, Professor Carmen, I am Abigail Gergastave Herman from Velen Emerging Newspaper. This is my
Colleagues."
……
The mutual introduction process was very brief. Professor Carmen quickly learned about Abigail’s article and became very interested in it. He also knew that the female reporter lacked a lot of things about the spiritual core of the article’s story, and
What is missing is the research on the indigenous culture of eastern India.
When they met for the first time, both parties had a good impression of each other. Carmen admired Abigail's objective and rigorous research on the content of the article, and bluntly said that today's newspapers are too fabricated.
They chatted for several hours in the college's reception room, and finally Professor Carmen invited them to his home and personally searched for various information for them.
The professor's home is not far from the college, and even in a strict sense the land belongs to the college. It is just behind the hillside, separated by a small piece of green woodland.
In front of the mansion is a vibrant lawn, and the house is a three-story townhouse.
The old maid in the living room added firewood to the professor, and the warmth from the fireplace filled the entire room.
Professor Carmen handed the coat to the servant and asked the butler to prepare warm coffee for the guests.
"Please sit down! Miss Herman, Mr. Adams."
The professor gestured, and Abigail and Stephen sat in front of each other somewhat embarrassedly.
After the servants brought the drinks, Professor Carmen continued: "I have been studying Eastern Indian culture for decades, and few studious young people like you come to visit. In comparison, my students are just a group of people who want to learn more.
The impetuous giant baby who is dawdling with his diploma."
The steam of hot coffee rose in front of her eyes, and the night was already dark outside the window. Abigail and Stephen looked at each other, and then said to the professor: "It is said that Secred is an absurd country. Why do you think of them so?"
"It's just a cover-up of failure..." Professor Carmen put down his cup, "The earliest immigrants were tenant farmers who were supposed to flow into the city. The development of industrial productivity caused a surge in population. In 1557 of the Second Age, the abolition of the Corn Laws caused the old aristocracy to lose their
The control over profits was transferred to a large number of tenant farmers, but the price was transferred to a large number of tenant farmers, causing farmers to lose their jobs and enter the city on a large scale to compete with workers for jobs. This not only depressed the overall labor wages, but also made the cities overwhelmed and social chaos
."
"It was during those difficult times that someone suddenly stood up and shouted, there is a chosen land on the other side of the quiet sea! There is gold there! There is ownerless land! There are fertile pastures! There are sexy aboriginal women!
Guess what those poor people who can only eat black bread mixed with sawdust all day want to do when they hear this?"
Stephen listened to the professor's words carefully and suddenly said: "They will take a boat to the promised land!"
Pouring his lips, Professor Carmen vented his dissatisfaction with the upper class with great disdain.
"This is a conspiracy! The bourgeoisie not only won the victory against the old aristocracy, but also led the flames of disaster to the primitive and ancient Indong Empire, burning that land to the ground."
"When the old settlers arrived there, they found that there were no fertile farms or land at all. Even a potato had to be sown by them themselves. During this period, hundreds of thousands of people starved to death. Not only that, the conflict with the Valentine people intensified.
, and the immigration leaders who are firmly entrenched in Diaoyutai have provided them with almost no help."
"After this group of deceived people finally gained a foothold and established colonies in ten continents, they still had to pay high taxes to the various mother countries in the Western Continent."
"Until Secred became independent, they were bound by the regime of the Western Continent."
"The independence of Cyrid, for those who have lost their cash cow, whether they are capitalists or rulers, they will of course call Cycred a 'ridiculous' country, but its essence is to cover up their own shameful and dirty deeds.
