"Sinner..." Olvera looked at the paper mask on the face of the statue of David, and then at the lambs pacing around his feet, revealing a thoughtful expression.
Expression: "Is he a shepherd?"
"Yeah."
Ringer nodded lightly: "For this reason, for a long time, shepherds have been regarded by local residents as a profession that brings uncertainty and disaster. Therefore, the villagers who serve as shepherds must wear paper
Masks were used to cover the face before they were allowed to walk freely in the land of the Avion people. As this was passed down, it became an unwritten rule in the areas around the Salia Fields. In today's era, no one forces them to wear it.
Wear masks like that, but the ancient custom goes back so far that it has evolved into a professional inheritance. As for the reason for wearing them in the first place, not many people remember it."
The birth of a tradition is often closely related to the local humanities and history, but when these humanities and histories are deeply rooted and integrated into people's living habits, it will make people forget the reason for its original birth, and then pay more attention to superficial things, such as
A common sight in daily life.
At this time, perhaps even a foreign tourist who has done some research on relevant information will know the stories and profound meaning behind the tradition better than the locals.
"It sounds very pitiful." Olvera seemed to have imagined such a scene: "He was forced to put on a mask, leave his hometown, and wander with the sheep...Did he really commit any crime, Ringer?
”
The princess finally asked.
"It must be persecution!" Before Ringer could answer, Alice could not wait to come to the conclusion: "The religious community likes to do this kind of bad job. When there is any natural disaster, they will just find someone to take the blame and incite the masses to directly blame him.
Convicted, and in the most serious case, tied to a cross and burned at the stake... Hum, maybe this is how the arbitrator of the Balance of Order deals with aliens?"
She was scaring Oveira again, and the princess of Beimang turned pale in fright and quickly took two steps back.
"It has nothing to do with religion." Ringer shook his head and said: "Whether it is the former village of Avignon or the current city of Avignon, the local residents have never believed in any religion, nor the ancient religion that originated in Laisenberg.
The Cangtian Order does not believe in the Holy Spring Monks who were introduced later. They only revere the storm that brought about change, calling it a great wind, but they do not worship it as a god."<
/p>
"But, it is recorded in the Brass Scroll that the alliance agreement between the Kreisov royal family, the Celestial Order and the Lord-given Angel was signed in the village of Avignon, right?" Alice held her chin in one hand, thinking about it.
Author: "Aren't angels a typical symbol of religion?"
"Who told you that?"
Linge glanced at her: "In the ancient Dorusian dialect, the meaning of 'angel' is 'messenger from the sky', which has nothing to do with gods. As for 'given by the Lord', it is a more general term.
Translation, for those great figures who suddenly rose up and left many achievements in history, this suffix can be given. For example, the twelve knights who were once unknown but followed Joan of Arc to overthrow the monarchy and establish the republic,
As well as the Lord-given Paladin King who led the rise of Senwell from a small country and even participated in several battles for hegemony in the Western Continent."
"So that's it, that is to say, in the eyes of the Kreisov royal family and the Cangtian Order, this 'messenger from the sky' also suddenly appeared and accomplished some amazing achievements, so they used this prefix to call her
Really? With that said, I suddenly have a guess."
Alice expressed her analysis seriously: "Perhaps the storm that blew away the mountains in the legend was the angel given by the Lord?"
Ringer thought she had something lofty to say, but unexpectedly... it made sense.
"But is it really that strong?" Metien said weakly: "I think it's just a legend, right?"
Can the storm that hits the mountains really be connected to human power?
"You are stupid, Metien!" Alice glared at her: "It is because this angel is very strong that the Kreisov royal family and the Heavenly Order had to negotiate with her to reach a non-harming alliance agreement.
Ah! It is because this angel is very strong that he was able to designate the location of the negotiation in the village of Avignon instead of the royal palace! In the same way, it is because this angel is very strong that he was able to leave behind precious treasures.
The treasure is waiting for future generations to discover it, hehehe..."
At the end of the sentence, she let out a weird laugh, as if she was indulging in some kind of fantasy and couldn't extricate herself. This made the little pink-haired girl who was closer shudder and subconsciously took two steps back to avoid the unclean things. This guy still can't forget the so-called treasure.
Linge shook his head helplessly. When his eyes met Saint Xalia's, he saw her speak and silently said something. The mouth shape was clearly saying: Maybe it's the young queen's power?
Well, it is indeed possible.
The young queen who controls the laws of the world theoretically has the power to move mountains and change terrain. Although Ringer has never seen similar power in Saint Charlia or Olvera. The kingship of destiny and mystery is indeed magical, but
It does not seem to be directly reflected on the material level.
Considered from this perspective, the legend of the wind that has always been circulated in the land of Avion and even the entire border of Leisenberg becomes very intriguing. In the past, people could not decipher the characters used to write the brass scrolls, so no one knew the author.
Naturally, it is impossible to connect the existence of angels and covenants with legends. Maybe Ringer and his colleagues will be the first to reveal the truth of history?
However, before the truth is revealed, there are still many secrets waiting to be discovered. Is the angel given by the Lord the queen of the lost world? This is the biggest mystery and the most difficult to prove. At least, no conclusion can be drawn until it is witnessed with one's own eyes. In addition, there are all the obvious doubts: Why did this mysterious angel, who had never left any records in history, suddenly appear in the then barren and desolate village of Avignon? Why did she have to
Choosing the place to sign the covenant in this inconspicuous little village? Does this place have some special meaning to her? What is the language used to write the brass scroll? Why can't all linguists
Deciphering? Deliberately writing the contents of the covenant in complicated and esoteric words is the angel's request, or is the Kreisov royal family and the Celestial Order trying to hide something? For example, concealing the achievements of the angels, attributing the root cause of the improvement of the climate and natural environment to
The great power of the Holy God of Tianshan Mountain and his devout belief to achieve the purpose of ignorant people? The sinner David offended the great wind. In fact, he offended the angel, which made her leave this land in anger and abandon it ever since.
Have you lost your love and care for the local people? If so, what is the reason for your anger?
Doubts and fogs are all waiting for outsiders to explore and pursue.
Maybe Alice can get it right this time?
The young man was thinking, and suddenly such a strange idea came to his mind. However, he did not say it out loud. After all, he couldn't let this golden-haired maid get too proud, otherwise big problems would arise.
The group of people discussed for a few minutes around the statue of David the Sinner. Specifically, Alice made various violent remarks, and then her friends refuted them one by one, making her angry and with veins popping out. The discussion came to the end.
, still no one can tell Olvera whether the sinner David really committed some unforgivable sin and was treated so cruelly, which also affected the subsequent shepherds who were forced to wear masks and cover up their bodies.
Act secretly.
Then Alice said that the mask was actually quite cool and she wanted to wear one. She wondered if there were any souvenirs for sale in the city.
Olvera was so angry that she didn't want to talk to her.
A guy who only ruins the atmosphere.
After visiting the Statue of David the Sinner, everyone continued to move forward. This is the end of the stone path. Going forward, you can enter the real windmill village ruins, which is the ruins of Avignon Village in the medieval era.
Behind the snow-covered branches of the summer cherry trees, the towering windmill tower is looming.
