Otherworldly White Dragon Lord Chapter 177: Temple and ancient mythology
There was a sentence! An racially abnormal mass loss of male population but as long as there are enough women can make up the population in a short time, on the contrary, if a race loses a large number of female population, then this race is not far from genocide.
As the capital of a country, the city of the capital of Saxony is still quite large, but there are not many pedestrians on the street. Whether it is the two Elric brothers or Manigot, they noticed Saxony after a round of shopping. There are some imbalances in the male-female population ratio in the Kingdom. The female population is very large and the male population is low. Of these, few older males are seen. It is clear that the battle between the Belika Fortress and the Ogg Barbarian has severely consumed the entire population of the country. The Saxony Kingdom has a large female population but it is also unable to withstand the large-scale uninterrupted large-scale war deaths of young and middle-aged men every year. Last year and this year, the [Frost Storm Barrier] blocked the road of invasion by the Ogg Barbarian south, and the Saxony Kingdom finally reduced its population The loss, temporarily let the "Slow Knife" called the Og Barbarian almost bleed to the weak state of the Saxony Kingdom to get two precious breathing time.
As Schneizel expected, even though it may be peeped by some ambitious lords because of the loss of the ability to stop the Ogg Barbarian from going south, the Kingdom of Saxony still has no reason to refuse this transaction. What's more, the target of the transaction was a 'god' dominating the dragon, and even the overlord Garcelik, who once ruled the entire continent, entered into a covenant with it.
The lack of food is the weakness of the Saxony Kingdom. There is no way to do this. After all, the cold extreme north is mostly frozen soil, and there is too little land available for cultivation. Of course, although the North Pole is not suitable for farming, it is definitely not related to the four words of barren land. The various minerals buried under the earth are very rich. Every year, in addition to receiving food and material assistance from the countries of the mainland, the Kingdom of Saxony The export of various ores has become the country's main source of income. Because of the rich mineral resources, it also drove the iron products technology and transactions in the Saxony Kingdom. In addition, the large number of forests in the country and the border area also brought a lot of rich products. Roughs, herbs, leather, and long-haired cotton bolls are all exported from the Kingdom of Saxony.
On the street, Xiaodouzi Edward bought a hand-made deerskin boots and put them in the storage ring for use. While looking at the beautifully sharp swords in the blacksmith shop, Alphonse ’s The armor was also observed by the blacksmith for a while, and Edward's mechanical armor has become a topic of discussion by several blacksmiths. Among them, several senior blacksmiths who have worked for a lifetime of iron are hoping to buy this well-made work at a high price. ' The steel prosthesis' scared Edward hurried out of the blacksmith shop!
"What a joke, uncles! I want to eat me." Edward gasped and rested in the alley, and it took a lot of money to get rid of the gangs of "steel idiots". effort.
"But I think those uncles are not terrible." Al Fengsi seems to say very favorably: "They are very kind, actually called my little brother, only few people have called it since they became this body. I am. "
Edward bowed his head helplessly. Manigot looked at the two brothers in a very miserable look. The two brothers were really fun.
A line in the blacksmith shop made Manigot notice something. All kinds of swords and weapons are sold, but there is no steel armor in the blacksmith shop. Even the shield has only a few small shields. . I asked the blacksmith to find out that the Kingdom of Saxony could not help but sell weapons to civilians, but it was forbidden to build armor and armor for sale.
After some investigation, there are three main reasons for this phenomenon.
One: The temperature in the extreme north is too cold to wear iron armor. Even the foreign mercenaries and city guards wear relatively warm leather armor. Only the regular army will wear heavy armor when fighting. Steel armor.
Second: Compared with the production of swords and various weapon armor, the production process is more complicated, and the production period is very long. It is usually a whole body armor for a soldier, including helmet, chest armor, leg armor, boots, arm armor. It takes a blacksmith a full month of work to complete the work. Usually, most blacksmiths who can build armor are specialized staff members belonging to the country, who are responsible for the unified arrangement of the work.
Three: The effect of armor is very obvious when fighting with cold weapons. Hundreds of regular armored troops can easily defeat the ragged militia many times more than themselves. Once in the free city, there have been several large-scale The slave uprisings were forcibly suppressed by the fully armed army. Even in this magical world, some armor made of special metals with extremely high resistance to magic is also a huge threat to the mage. For this reason, many on the mainland Countries have a tradition of arms and armor.
When walking all the way to Chengxi District, the sharp-eyed Manigot suddenly noticed a short figure not far away was carrying a bunch of tools on the road, a bearded dwarf with white hair and fair hair The messy but beard was carefully woven into small braids with copper loops.
"There are dwarves in the aftermath of the elves." Although I already know about the world in Ulduar, Manigot still feels about the elves and dwarves that only appeared in the mythological era. Some new.
"It's really short, isn't it taller than me?" Edward said with a smirk, as if something in his heart felt a lot balanced.
Like seeing cherished animals, a group of three followed the dwarf until the dwarf walked into a temple. Three people stopped and the stone pillars outside the temple were carved with a wonderful statue of the goddess, as if The eternal unwavering determined will holding the holy sword and the holy shield, and dressed in the mighty armor of the goddess, Mani Gott, who had watched the duel of Princess Luo Jiean, recognized the identity of the goddess at first glance.
The Ice Goddess who once showed miracles in the arena-Ajma!
This is the sanctuary for the goddess of snow and ice, one of the five supreme gods in the western capital of the mainland. Edward and Alphonse saw the dwarf walking into the back of the temple and faced each other, and Yalin also told everyone Try not to make contact with the two religious organizations, the Holy See and the Holy Spirit, because the gods believed by the two religious organizations may become enemies on their own side in the future.
Edward waved his hand and turned to leave: "Okay, we can go back."
"Don't be so anxious, it's still early." Manigot smiled thoughtfully at the Temple of the Snow Goddess.
"Mr. Yalin did not say that he should not contact religious organizations as much as possible." Alphonse was still a little worried.
Manigot shrugged and said with interest: "Go in and see, in fact, I am also curious what kind of existence the gods of this world are."
"But Mr. Yalin he┉┉"
"Nothing is undeniable, just use it to detect enemy situations."
Manigot did not hesitate to reject Alphonse ’s words. He grabbed Edward, who was ready to slip, with his arms, and dragged the two brothers into the temple with Alvonsi ’s armor. . At the moment of stepping into the temple, Manigot suddenly stopped and frowned. It seemed that he felt a strange wave of power swept across his body. It was an inexplicable feeling, but it was certain There is no danger in this force.
Shrugging, although Manigot could not figure out what was going on, he still stepped into the temple.
The temple of the goddess of ice and snow is visited by a lot of people, which shows the high status of the goddess of ice and snow, Azorma, in the hearts of the inhabitants of the Kingdom of Saxony. There are actually many non-human races outside the dwarves, there is an elf wiping the altar on the right, and the dwarf who just entered the temple in the garden on the side is repairing tables and chairs with a tall orc.
As soon as Manigot and his entourage entered the temple, a female attendant welcomed them politely. Alphonse ’s armor was striking in the temple. The attendants also found that the three had never seen The new face, which seems to be not a native of the Saxony kingdom in terms of skin color and characteristics, took the initiative to ask.
"Everyone, this is the temple of Ice Goddess, one of the five most high gods in the world. Are you going to pray to the goddess?" The girl attendant who was only 16 years old said very politely.
"We just come in and look at it casually."
Manigot ’s words made the attendants a little puzzled. The ice goddess Aizhuoma is one of the five supreme gods. It is a well-known valkyrie in the western part of the mainland, even if it is tightly sealed by the Holy See in the eastern part of the mainland. The popularity, but the man with a long purple hair and some cynical temperament seems to be the first time to know the ice goddess. After looking at the little boy under the arm of the man and the big armor behind him, the servant girl became more and more confused about each other's intentions.
The generous doctrine of the Holy Highest God, as long as the visitor does not make a blasphemous act of blasphemy, then there is no reason to drive away the other party, and the servant girl can only explain the origin of the ice goddess Aizhuoma And, the servant girl also found that the man in front of him seemed to listen with relish, as if it were the first time to know the existence of the ice goddess Ajma.
Perhaps the other party is from a region blocked by the dirty papacy in the eastern part of the mainland. Today is the first time that the gods in the world have more than the only goddess of light, Ishtar. The thought of the servant girl here was more enthusiastic and took three people to visit the temple, and constantly explained the miracles of the five supreme gods and the doctrine of the Holy City. Obviously, the servant girl was sincerely preparing to dig out the three believers of the Holy See.
"Ice Goddess was also the Valkyrie ┉┉" Edward continued to record in his small book.
"So Miss Tiya, the goddess of ice is also the most powerful of the five supreme gods?" Alphonse also has his own question.
For Edward and Alphonse, although they have experienced many things, they are still two 15-six-year-old children, and their playful nature always remains in their hearts. The hallway in the temple displayed some documents, relics and sculptures, which made the two dazzled, and the young servant girl Tiya of the same age soon became familiar with the two brothers and learned each other's name. After that, there was no such restraint at first.
"The five supreme gods are not arranged one after the other, just like the doctrine of the Holy Capital, all beings are equal. The Goddess Ajma is not only a goddess of war but also a goddess of justice and justice. All the judges in the western mainland Before going to court, the oath must have been sworn in the name of the goddess, which has shown that her verdict will be absolutely fair. In addition, the goddess Ajma also represents the water in the element, and the goddess of the sea is also the incarnation of Ajma. "
"It's really a hard work for the goddess to have multiple jobs." Manigot said jokingly.
Tiya slaps for a while and I really do n’t know how to refute the phrase that is rude to the gods. After all, the five supreme gods that are believed by many different races, each race does not understand the gods. Similarly, Tiya had to change the subject and continue to say: "For the people in the extreme north, the deeds of the ice goddess have been circulating since ancient times."
"What kind of legend?"
"That is the time of the gods at dusk┉┉"
"The demons entrenched in the abyss and the fallen evil dragons ravaged the whole world ~ IndoMTL.com ~ Under the guidance of the five supreme gods, all the good creatures in the world waged a fierce battle with the demons and the evil dragons ┉┉ Burning everywhere in the earth, blood soaked every inch of the ground. "
"And in the cold extreme north, an evil dragon capable of controlling ice and snow was quietly born in the world. The evil dragon has unparalleled powerful strength and attempts to use its death to freeze the earth forever. The ice goddess once tried It saves its soul, but the evil dragon pretends to surrender on the surface and secretly betrayed the trust of the Goddess Ajma, trying to kill the goddess to occupy the land blessed by the goddess forever. At last, with the help of Pasimeng, the **** of fire, the evil dragon finally fell under the goddess' holy sword, and the goddess Ajma was also forced to return to God's domain due to injury┉┉ ”
Tiya has always liked this story. Every time she talks about the battle between the goddess and the evil dragon, Tiya is very focused, but it is too focused on telling the story, and the servant girl did not notice the purple-haired man in front of her. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
