As the residence of the Knights of the Silver Hand, the most eye-catching presence here is undoubtedly the ancient protective tree Tedis located in the center of the valley.
Over the past few hundred years, Tedis has stopped growing, and its height has remained at about three hundred meters. With a height of three hundred meters and a tree diameter of about one hundred meters, it has become the largest thing in the entire Hearthglen.
"Rumble..." Thunder and holy light surged endlessly on it, and thunder sounded from time to time, adding a bit of majesty.
Thanks to the fact that this place is surrounded by mountains, otherwise such a majestic towering tree growing suddenly in the vast snow would have been visible from a long distance away.
Under the huge figure of Tedis, some young paladins were lining up and training, while a few elders were in charge of guiding them.
"...You have similar experiences and similar qualities. You are all warriors of noble character and firm will. That is why you have become a member of the Silver Hand and inherited the faith of the Holy Light."
The lanky old man with short white hair paced in front of the young knights. He put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist while speaking in a serious tone.
"Five hundred years ago, the Sun God established the Silver Hand in the God's Domain and then moved it to the Atrium. Now, it is the oldest knighthood on earth."
"Following the ancient teachings, the Paladins are never greedy and never give up." The elder with a serious face stated slowly, "We are not famous and we do not enjoy pleasure, but we are always the most steadfast in justice.
Advocates! When you enter the Silver Hand, you must be like all knights, or even better..."
During the break, two young knights got together to talk. One of the blond young men said: "Do you think the Knights were really founded by the Sun God?"
"I think so. After all, we have seen the knights of God's Realm with our own eyes not long ago." Another young man with black hair said.
"But they are not the Sun God." The blond young man said, "They are just His subordinates. As far as I know, the Sun God has not walked on earth for hundreds of years."
"The sun has always been there, from ancient times to the present." The black-haired young man pointed to the sky, the sun in the extreme daylight, "Furthermore, to the gods, hundreds of years are so short, maybe just a flick of the finger.
It’s a pity that our mortal lives are even shorter than this.”
Following his movements, the blond young man couldn't help but look to the sky, and then both of them opened their eyes wide, with shock on their faces.
"boom"
Just hearing a violent roar, a brilliant rainbow light beam fell from the sky with astonishing momentum, as if it had crossed an endless distance and reached Hearthglen in an instant.
The bright beam of light left a circle of strange lines on the ground. When the light dissipated, a blond man holding a flame appeared in the center of the lines.
"That's..." Most of the young knights were at a loss. They had neither seen Luo Wei himself nor were they familiar with portraits.
After being stunned for a moment, the older knights recognized Luo Wei one after another. They immediately rushed forward to greet him with great excitement and knelt down on one knee.
"Great Lord!"
"Sun God, after nearly four hundred years, you finally come to the world again!"
Looking at the people in front of him, Luo Wei couldn't help but feel some surprise and emotion in his eyes.
Sadly, after returning from Sakaar, all the human paladins he once knew have undoubtedly died of old age, and the old men in front of him are all generations later.
What surprised him was that when he returned to Hearthglen, someone actually called him the Sun God. After all, within the Knights, his identity was always the Great Lord. It seems that in the past few hundred years, he has attracted members from the earth.
The Silver Hand inevitably went through some cultural changes.
It won't become a religion that worships the sun god in the future... Luo Wei thought with worry.
Loosely speaking, he is actually an atheist, and this did not change even after he became the Sun God of Asgard.
Luo Wei clearly knows that in the final analysis, all living beings are mortals, but there are some differences between strong, weak, and high.
He opened the Eye of Reckoning and looked at the paladins in front of him.
Fortunately, compared to the past, the knights of the Silver Hand have not deteriorated, and they all maintain good character, showing a light or even almost pure white yellow in the vision of the Holy Light.
In fact, almost half of the Paladins were in better shape than Luo Wei, which made him somewhat ashamed.
"Knights of the Silver Hand, you are all very good." Rowe encouraged the knights, and not long after, Andel came out of the Holy Light Secret Hall.
"Great Lord, you are finally back!" Andel couldn't help but say, "How come there has been no news from you for hundreds of years?"
"I went to a distant place." Luo Wei smiled and said nothing more. He changed the subject and said, "Andel, let's go into the hall first, and you tell me what has happened on Earth recently."
"good."
The two of them entered the Secret Palace of Holy Light one after another, and after a short conversation they got to the point.
Luo Wei asked: "According to the earth's AD chronology, what year is it now? Have any major events happened in the past and recently?"
"It is now 1826 AD." Andel said, "In the hundreds of years since you left, the earth has indeed changed a lot, especially in the last hundred years, human beings have entered the gate of technological civilization very quickly."
"Even the most low-level humans have begun to understand some real astronomical knowledge, including the shape of the earth and the movement of the sun and the earth."
Luo Wei nodded.
Andel continued: "Just earlier this year, as far as I know, humans took the first photo. I have to say that compared to most technological countries in the universe, the historical process of the earth is indeed a bit too fast.
.”
Listening to Andel's story, Luo Wei gradually gained a clearer understanding of the history of the past few hundred years.
Obviously, the timeline has a very strong self-correction ability, and Rowe's involvement in the history of the earth is far less than that of Asgard.
Therefore, the earth does not seem to have caused any major changes. At least based on the historical level of its previous life, human history is still in the process of step-by-step development.
The Great Geographical Discovery, the Industrial Revolution, North America, Washington... everything is developing towards the world that Rowe is familiar with, which is undoubtedly gratifying news for him.
It is worth mentioning that not long ago, the second and third presidents of the United States passed away on the same day, which was a big political event. This made Rowe a little doubtful, not sure whether this small probability event was consistent with the original
The historical trajectory is consistent.
The two were talking when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"What's up?"
The young knight who knocked on the door and came in had a strange expression: "There are... people outside."
