Chapter 716 715 The Earth Mother Goddess has forever lost one of her divine beings
Chapter 716 A cool possibility has been lost forever in the divine life of the Mother Goddess of the Earth. What a pity.
"Why do you have such a strange idea? Why do you think Mother Gaia gave up on the Brass Dwarves just because they were not sincere enough, just because they were dazzled by the burning gold fans?"
In the dark valley, Murphy, who was waiting for his loyal and brave players to be resurrected and come online, took the time to come to the hut where the Silver Dwarf Supreme Lord Orvger was. Murphy, who had always been interested in faith and gods, finally asked
The doubts in his heart made Lord Ofger sigh.
This little old dwarf, who looked very old because he had lived for too long, and even had a stooped body, touched his white beard that mopped the floor, and he sighed and said:
"It seems that this is also the explanation given by other forces on the continent for the Brass Dwarf's loss of divine favor, but this view is one-sided and incorrect."
"You see, I am not in a hurry, and you are also recovering from your injuries and resting now."
Murphy reached out and took out a glass of Feitian wine and poured a glass for the Supreme Lord himself. He glanced at the other two earth guards guarding the room and felt in his heart that Gaia's preference for the silver dwarves was really terrifying.
Counting these two gold-level earth guards, as far as Murphy knows, there are no less than three gold-level warriors in Silver Castle alone.
He said:
"So, can you please explain to me the key to this? Although we vampires have no faith and are hated by most gods, I am a special one among them. I have always been very knowledgeable about the little secrets of the gods.
interest."
"But you can ask Grand Duke Tris. She is the best and most outstanding theologian on the continent. And I heard that you have done what countless men long for but fail to do. You have won the love of Grand Duke Tris.
meaning.
What a perfect match made in heaven.
Although I have had unpleasant experiences with the Scarlet Witch in the past. She once sneaked into the Silver Castle and tried to steal our Earth Holy Grail, but I have to admit that in the study of the mysteries of the gods, there is probably no one better than Grand Duke Tris.
Going deeper.
It is this kind of research that made her one of the most dangerous vampires in the past era."
Lord Ofger did not refuse this Transian wine. He smiled and put the glass of wine under his nostrils and took a sniff. Even his eyes, which were always narrowed under the long eyebrows, opened a little.
It has to be said that this supreme lord of the silver dwarves is really an elder dwarf with a sense of kindness, so much so that when Ashina saw him for the first time, she even exclaimed, "The Christmas dwarf is by my side."
The calmness and kindness tempered by time make him really approachable.
Different from the rudeness of other dwarves, the supreme lord holding the artifact of Gaia in front of him looked like a well-educated man.
Facing his doubts, Murphy shrugged and said straightforwardly:
"Trish's explanation of these things is from a third-party perspective, but the answer given by you who are most closely connected with the Mother Goddess of the Earth is undoubtedly the correct answer. So please tell me, Mother Goddess Gaia is here
What on earth were you thinking about this matter?
I won’t hide it from you, I have been in contact with the Mother Goddess, and I don’t want to violate Her taboos and mess up things in the next cooperation. The next black disaster will require everyone to work together to fight against it.
Unity is a very important part.”
"Well, that makes sense. Well, for the sake of this good bottle of wine, I can explain it a little bit."
Lord Ofg drank all the wine in the wine glass, but Murphy took out a wine box with a bang, which was full of the best wine he had taken from Booty Bay. He handed it to the Supreme Lord.
,explain:
"Don't just explain that we are not in a hurry, you can start from the cause and effect."
"Well, it's really unimaginable that after this tragedy happened, the person who was most curious about the truth was a vampire without faith."
Lord Orfgor shook his head.
He gestured to Murphy to give him another cup of this strange-flavored "Mao-flavored technology", and then touched his beard, just like those old men, trying to find a suitable beginning for this story, but then, he directly
Let’s start with the results:
"There are also soldiers who have been withdrawn by the Brass Dwarves in the Shadow Valley. From the altar where they worship the Mother Goddess Gaia, you can see that not all the Brass Dwarves have lost the attention of Mother Gaia.
Therefore, this excommunication of faith is not a tragedy that happened to an entire race. It is just a painful act that Gaia's mother had to take to protect herself.
In our dwarf beliefs, although dwarves were not created by Mother Gaia, we are indeed Gaia's dependents.
We are born with the gift of sensing the earth and mobilizing its power, which proves that our suitability with our mother is perfect. Therefore, the dwarves have become one of the races on the continent that are most closely connected with the gods.
This is an honor.
You know, Mother Earth is not a god of faith.
He appeared in the world long before the emergence of dwarf civilization. Mother Gaia does not need the faith of dwarves to exist. He is a born great god. To Mother Gaia, we dwarves are just dependents and followers.
Non-essential things.
This is in sharp contrast to the relationship between Wamu and the barbarians.
Mother Gaia does not need the faith of mortals to maintain her greatness, but with the prayers of us dwarves, Mother Gaia finally accepted our faith as her connection with the dwarves.
This is a very risky thing for those gods who are born great.
Because faith is a two-way street.
Believers will gain strength and blessings from worshiping the gods, allowing themselves to become better creatures according to the instructions of the scriptures. The gods will also be changed due to the convergence of mortal beliefs. When all believers long for their gods to maintain justice,
Even an evil god like the Lord of Hunting will be forced into the realm of a good god.
Therefore, the fact that Mother Gaia accepts our faith is enough to illustrate the kindness of the Mother Goddess and her care for us.
In order to better guide us, He is willing to let himself be connected by faith, which also gives the Mother Goddess some of the characteristics of faith gods and their weaknesses!
That is, faith can not only be used to connect believers with gods, but in extreme cases, it can also be used to harm gods."
Ofger sighed, drank a glass of wine, and said softly:
"The brass dwarves were once as sincere as us silver dwarves. We were priests of the Mother Goddess, promoting the majesty of the Mother Goddess on the earth, and they were the guardians of the Mother Goddess, protecting the Mother Goddess's shrines and places of faith in the world.
Frost dwarves are the hunters of the Mother Goddess, punishing all the villains in the world who are disrespectful to the Mother Goddess. This is not only the different responsibilities of our different skin colors and different strengths, but also the blessing of the Mother Goddess to see the dwarves thrive.
Originally everything was progressing according to Gaia's mother's expectations, until the brass dwarves discovered the secret of burning gold with the help of the halflings.
that thing
Although it is also buried underground, it is not a creation of the Mother Goddess. When the Brass Dwarves first began to collect burning gold on a large scale, the Mother Goddess issued a warning.
It is the fruit shaped by dangerous power.
Indeed, Burning Gold itself is harmless. Although it comes from subspace, its convergence in the material world has allowed it to cleanse itself of chaos and evil, becoming an efficient and incredible energy polymer.
However, the magical properties of burning gold cause it to produce some very strange phenomena when it is piled up in large quantities.
It amplifies emotions and desires, just as it perfectly accelerates all energy processes.
Even the principles are the same.”
Lord Orfgor finally told the outsiders the biggest hidden danger of burning gold.
This was once the biggest secret of the Brass Dwarves, but now the Brass Dwarves have been expelled from the order of "Righteous Dwarves" by Gaia. As Gaia's Chief Priest, Ofger can finally share these dangerous things without any pressure.
He said:
"We still don't know the purpose and reason why the shadow of the subspace will bring burning gold into the material world, but what is certain is that when we discovered this disturbing characteristic of burning gold, the brass dwarves were already on this path.
The road has gone too far.
They relied on burning gold to become powerful quickly, and even built an undefeated brass fortress, completely ending the threat of the Black Disaster.
Their friends the halflings were protected as a result, and they began to more actively assist the brass dwarves in using the power of burning gold. The two races teamed up to monopolize the burning gold trade, which allowed them to earn enough wealth to buy half of the continent.
.
However, while they were using Burning Gold wantonly, those wonderful gadgets were also affecting them.
The brass dwarves began to become more and more indulgent, and became more and more resistant to Gaia's dogma. Their crime rate began to increase, and more and more sinful dwarves were exiled. What is ironic is that the desire to burn gold amplified the brass dwarves'
On the contrary, the number of people is increasing.
Not only did they not decline because of this indulgence, but they became stronger and stronger.
I have tried to persuade Hadran countless times, but he is a supreme lord and he has his own ideas. Alas, their situation cannot actually be called pollution, Lord Murphy.
The brass dwarves have never switched to other faiths from beginning to end. They are just constantly released from desire and can no longer return to their original simple life. The more dwarves come into contact with burning gold, the more obvious their tendency in this regard will be.
On the contrary, those low-level dwarves who are not very exposed to Ranjin can still barely maintain their faith. Let me put it this way, maybe this group depravity was caused by Ranjin at the beginning, but it became more and more intense after that.
It doesn't matter much anymore.
The one who really pushed the Brass Dwarf further and further”
"It's wealth, money, greed."
Murphy answered for Lord Ofg, who nodded silently, drank his third glass of wine today, and said:
"That was a key that opened the desire in my heart, and it has been out of control ever since.
The once simple happiness could no longer satisfy the emptiness in my heart, so it could only become worse.
You have never been to the Brass Fortress, so you may not know about the casinos hidden in the shadows of the dwarf trading area, the wine of corruption, and the slaves of all races who were quietly bought back.
You may not know that one of the largest buyers of shadow elf slave traders is the Mineral Company of Brass Fortress.
This phenomenon has been going on for a long time.
To be honest, I had already expected the outcome of Gaia's final abandonment of the Brass Dwarves. It's not that the Mother Goddess is cruel, but that She must do this, otherwise she will be adversely affected by the collective hedonism and consumerism of the Brass Dwarves, leaving her
The Mother Goddess also underwent a personality change as a result.
For gods, losing oneself is a terrible thing."
"Well, I actually have a different view on this."
Murphy whispered:
"Please forgive a vampire for being rude on the subject of gods, but I feel that the Earth Mother has missed a wonderful opportunity.
I mean, if she can be more enlightened and understand the transformation of the Brass Dwarves and accept it, maybe Mother Gaia can have new priesthoods like 'Trade', 'Wealth' and 'Fairness'.
This will not destroy her power, but will give her more advantages on the subspace battlefield."
"What a terrible thought!"
Ofger's eyes widened in shock, but he did not deny this, but after thinking for a few seconds, he sighed and said:
"The Mother Goddess symbolizes the earth, and the earth is always calm and stubborn, always refusing to change. Don't talk about such topics anymore, Lord Murphy. If we talk more deeply, I have to speak in the name of the Mother Goddess of the Earth.
I picked up the war hammer and smashed your heretic's head."
"Okay, okay, I admit my mistake."
Murphy waved his hand and asked again:
"According to your statement, the brass dwarves are not a group of degenerates. They have essentially changed from believers to unbelievers who care about money, right? So do they still have a chance to be rescued?"
"Of course, Mother Gaia is always kind, as long as the brass dwarves can return to their former simplicity."
Ofger smiled and said helplessly:
"But you and I both know that this is impossible. When a poor boy from the countryside enters the city, and after experiencing the prosperity and wonderful things of the big city, it is difficult for him to be willing to return to his hometown and live a life of pure and austere life.
"
"Tsk, tsk, I think there is something in your words."
Murphy said in a subtle tone:
"So, are you suggesting that this is the truth behind the birth of Marshal Loren? Your son was dazzled by the glitz of human society and eventually betrayed the righteous path of the dwarves?"
"No, he just fell in love with a woman he shouldn't have loved. What's even crazier is that the woman who was extremely corrupt in the first half of her life actually chose to abandon the dissolute life she insisted on because of this love. They really changed for each other.
Yes, they have received the blessing of love."
Lord Orfge felt a little lonely and said softly tiredly:
"Then a blind, stereotyped old man played the villain and ruthlessly tore apart this love fairy tale that was supposed to be between humans and dwarves.
The infatuated dwarf prince was exiled, the infatuated human lady died of a broken heart, and the child born in sorrow learned to hate from the beginning of his life.
I have done many things in my life, Lord Murphy, but throwing my grandson into hell with my own hands is the most regretful move in my life.
But, I am a supreme lord.
In order to maintain sacred traditions, I always have to sacrifice something.
Just as you may face this kind of difficult choice in the future, at that time, please remember the lessons of this bad old man like me. Never destroy beautiful things to achieve your goals, it will only give rise to ugly endings.
"
"So, every time you talk to a wise old man, there will be a motto for life. This is already a tradition, right?"
Murphy blinked and said to the Silver Dwarf Supreme Lord in front of him, who could no longer drink due to weakness and injuries:
"Although it is full of the old man's unique staleness, I still want to thank you for your teachings, especially the story about the Earth Mother Goddess and the Brass Dwarf, which has benefited me a lot. In addition, I noticed that the Frost Dwarf seems to have been wandering among the Dwarves.
Apart from the main story, do they have anything to hide?"
"Well, I can't tell you this, Lord Murphy."
Lord Orfgor shook his head and said:
"As far as I know, the frost dwarf clan has been mobilized. After the wolf girl prepares a large-scale support for the front line, they should come to Transia as one of the representatives of the Nordtof Kingdom.
Because of the good deeds you have done for them before, I estimate that Badr may come in person. When the time comes, you can ask him.
All I can tell you is that frost dwarves are special!
In addition to their belief in the Earth Mother Goddess, they also have a mission. Although we have all forgotten where that mission came from, if Mother Gaia did not prevent them from performing their duties, it means that it is definitely closely related to the world.
important thing.
You should probably leave.
Not only because I need to rest, but also because a noble vampire is approaching here.
The power of the earth indicates to me that your thousand-year lord is about to enter this valley.
According to the traditional etiquette of vampires, as a junior, you should go to greet him immediately, and don’t forget to call your grand duke, otherwise Lord Paying may be unhappy.
You have to know that that guy is even more stubborn and rigid in some aspects than a dwarf like me."
