Invincible Chapter 658

The gods in charge of agriculture have always been the most important gods in the pantheon.

In Azeroth, Freya, the king of life, played the role of the god of agriculture in the Titan pantheon.

As far as Kane knows, there is no such god in the Loa pantheon.

A very important reason is that the troll civilization is not a farming civilization, but a hunting civilization.

Kane even believes that this feature of the troll civilization is also a major reason for its turn from victory to decline. Because there is no agriculture, fishing and hunting alone are not enough to support a large number of people.

In fact, during the peak period of the troll empire, the food problem broke out, which also prompted the trolls to strengthen the breeding and taming of wild animals, even the smart, free, and fierce velociraptor, and the violent and proud overlord Longdu surrendered and was driven by it, which shows its advanced technology in this area.

In addition, it is precisely because of the characteristics of hunting civilization that beast gods are quite popular in the troll's belief in gods.

Those who are in the forefront and have many believers are basically beasts. However, such as slender jaw dragons, frogs, etc., obviously have good magical gifts, but they are still niche.

Gayalai is considered to be a relatively high-ranking loa god. Different from the falcon god Ekilson, Gayalai's divine power attributes and even divine magic gifts are more inclined to spells than combat skills.

For example, the well-known dragon eagle's breath can be as long as the dragon's breath. Its high-temperature flames can kill even fire elemental elves and even flame walkers who swim in lava.

It is also because of knowing this that Kane felt very strange and strange when the information first revealed that Gaialai had served as the God of Agriculture part-time.

Azeroth also has crops such as corn, and the agricultural priesthood of Jayalai mainly takes care of this crop called golden grains by the trolls here.

If it was Kane himself, knowing this information, he would definitely feel dumbfounded. Because the Mayan civilization in the original world used corn as the staple food, its status is equivalent to the wheat of the pasta people, and the rice or millet of the grain-eating people.

Cairnsun didn't have that information, but he knew what corn was. I can also think of why there would be a god of agriculture who specially looks after the corn crop.

They traveled all the way, but they didn't see any large beasts at all.

If the trolls here are still famous for hunting as he knows it, it means that the food chain has been broken.

Kane believes that it is precisely because of the need, or in order to survive, that the trolls here have completed the transformation and changed from hunting to farming.

In addition, the memory of the team of trolls also explained the reason for the existence of the small settlement.

There is the edge of the city-state of Zuatu, and the team of trolls is an outer patrol team, and they will check the situation from time to time.

Their most important thing is not to prevent the invasion of other city-states, but to check the erosion of evil. Because it is walking around the outermost periphery of the city-state, it takes a lot of walking in a day, which is quite hard.

But this is very necessary, the evil has been advancing, threatening their survival, and they rely on their belief in God, so that God has enough power to support the circle of protection.

The shrinking circle of asylum will be blamed on the lack of faith, and further speaking, some people are not pious enough, and then religious persecution, such as sacrifices, etc. are born. As for the Blood Clan, how could they live up to their clan name without playing in the snow?

In addition, some scattered information about the city-state Zul'jin has been collected, such as their mining areas, trade areas, and even trade routes, etc.

After Kane and the others digested the information, they walked about 3 kilometers away. From a distance, they could already see the outline of Zuatu City.

This city is not majestic, but it still has its own characteristics, but it is not a big deal for Kane, who has been around for a long time. What's more, he used the magic flying eagle to overlook from a high altitude during breakfast time.

Now his focus is on the cornfields that the trolls have opened up. Through the details, we can see the quality of the agricultural technology, such as whether it is intensive cultivation, whether it is canal irrigation or a more powerful drip, whether it is farmyard manure or plant ash, etc.

And these are closely related to crop yield.

As the saying goes,

Food is the paramount necessity of the people. Regardless of whether the trolls are fishing, hunting or farming, if they can't handle people's stomachs, then there will be big problems.

The conditions of the fields proved that the way of farming here is still quite primitive and bloody.

Kane saw some half-buried skeletons, which would have belonged to trolls if he hadn't read the errands.

Serf, this one is also very Mayan.

According to the relevant information remembered by the trolls in the patrol team, in Zuatu, after the slaves were killed, they would be directly chopped up as fertilizer. Even freedmen, after death, say that they are rich in faith and rich in money.

Belief in fat means that the soul goes to the kingdom of God, and the body is donated as fertilizer. The money fee is to sell the corpse, of course, it can also be used by oneself.

Both Alexstrasza and Ysera found the trolls doing this barbaric and cruel.

Kane can be more or less considerate, this is not a psychological distortion of abuse for the sake of abuse, but for survival. It is difficult for someone who has not tasted the taste of chronic hunger to understand how tortured it is, and how many boundaries, including moral conscience, can be violated in order to solve the problem.

Thinking about food and clothing. On the other hand, when you can't even handle the most basic problems of eating and drinking, it seems ridiculous to talk about etiquette and morality.

Of course, understanding is understanding, but Kane is not willing to fight for the well-being of the trolls. He is, after all, a selfish man, not an internationalist, no, interstellar fighter.

So Tanaka buried the bones, but his mentality was very good, he didn't say oh, you are so pitiful, I want to play the savior to help you out of the sea of ​​suffering.

Without this thought, even the trolls of Azeroth, including the waste utilization of some experimental projects on them, were placed instead of sitting and watching them being slaughtered.

Here, Kane feels that he has been distorted cognitively, and it is too difficult to train and it is not worthwhile. What's more, he is not out of danger yet, so he doesn't want to think about what is there and what is gone.

From a distance, the most conspicuous thing about Zuatu is the dozens of pyramids of different shapes and sizes, basically step pyramids, and the tops of the towers are shining with divine light, which is similar to the temple of Yazma, the spider god. There is a marked difference in what is seen.

Continuing to move towards the city, the troll slaves are working hard in the stretches of farmland.

The figures of these slaves are generally relatively thin, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are skinny, and their skin quality is obviously relatively poor. Although stone gray is the common skin color of blood trolls, there are also differences in smoothness and fineness. Rough as rock skin, and a dull, unhealthy yellow-gray color, naturally means that its condition is very problematic.

There is another way to judge the health status of a troll, that is to look at its fangs. People from poor backgrounds cannot support thick, smooth, and beautifully curved fangs. For trolls, this thing is comparable to a dwarf's beard , is an important benchmark for judging beauty and ugliness.

Kane can't appreciate this, so the troll he plays has fangs that are more inclined to female trolls, that is, ordinary ligers, rather than exaggerated than those of wild boars or saber-toothed tigers.

At the end of the farmland is the city wall and moat.

It may be because the temples are built like fortresses, with good protection. The trolls are not very keen on the city walls. They are generally relatively low, but generous, and they like decoration. They are usually large-scale carved pictures, describing some Deeds of glory or something.

About 100 kilometers southwest from Marukda, there is a place called Baishayuan.

It is said that this place is a land purified by feathered snakes, and there are also legends that it is a cursed land. In short, there must be something weird here, otherwise why is it always cloudless and white sand?

Hilma and the others were also fortunate to witness the celestial wonders of Baishayuan. Whether it is white clouds or dark clouds, they are all in the sky, and the top of Baishayuan is always azure blue.

This kind of blue is generally only seen in the depths of the desert, and the beautiful color is moving.

And white sand is also rare, it is not a visual misleading environment background, but really white sand, not pure white, but off-white.

In this white desert, the Green Umbrella Group built a complex of buildings with the characteristics of ancient Egyptian temples.

This is a play of the remaining production capacity after the construction of facilities for the Gashkara tribe. After that, more than 10,000 knitters in the Construction Engineering Corps were pulled out of their cores and sealed up together with the construction equipment to prevent awakening.

The architectural complexes of ancient Egypt are naturally majestic and magnificent. The key is that they are rich in culture and match well with the desert environment. In particular, Ethan specially chose dark gold as the main background color of the entire architectural complex.

This kind of color is combined with a certain amount of old-fashioned treatment, and the senses have a sense of precipitation over time.

Graveson also asked Hilma about this: "Is this... the ruins of the temple?"

Hilma could only know that this place was not ancient through the priest's magic.

Gadot said: "The creation of the creator is full of the precipitation of the years and the beauty of art. Whether it is the buildings here or the fortress built for Gashkara, they all have strong cultural characteristics."

"Well, there must be a civilization behind the creators, and it is likely to be more than one civilization. It is difficult to estimate what changes their arrival will bring to the world."

Graveson frowned: "Didn't you say that you are a believer in the Dao of Light? The half dream spirit has a good relationship with us. Although their way of thinking is a bit weird, they obviously hate people with corrupt morals."

Hilma explained: "Most of the half-dreams are lawful and good, but the Avenue of Light is lawful and neutral. This means that the creators may not agree with our values ​​and the universal morality of Kovaire."

Gadot smiled and didn't say much. In her opinion, Graveson's thinking is still too narrow, or most church knights have such characteristics.

Named Karnak by Kane, in fact it is not a faithful reproduction of the temple of Karnak, there are other gods such as Abu Simbel, Hatshepsut, Namtis, Delbahili, Philae, etc. Elements of the temple.

It can be said that this Karnak is the condensation of ancient Egyptian civilization in terms of architecture, but there are no pyramids. A real pyramid needs quite a lot of astronomical data. Ethan is not interested in building a pyramid with a superficial appearance.

The entire building complex covers an area of ​​2 square kilometers and is square in shape. It is built on a stone platform with a height of more than 30 meters, and the circumference of the base is 6 kilometers. All the great events of Egypt till its demise.

Under the entrance steps, Hilma and the others saw Karnak's guards, who were dressed in an ancient Egyptian style, with a bronze-colored body, wearing gold-colored exquisite falcon helmets and jackal helmets.

Falcons and jackals are the two most representative animals of ancient Egyptian culture. Others, cats, crocodiles, vultures, etc. are not as distinctive as the two, and have profound meanings.

Not long after learning of their purpose, the group was taken directly to the place where Ethan was, the Martial Arts Field.
