Chapter 971: History of Miracles in the Mainland
The two teams had a total of seventeen people, and it took an hour or so to completely crawl out of the cave. The people who escaped from the sky breathed the cold and fresh air, and they all sat on the ground and shouted for joy.
Panda's face was not very good, because he quickly checked the scene of the cliff collapse, and found that the people he left outside were either killed or directly buried in the canyon... The Ice Fist Mercenary Group also suffered heavy losses. , Captain DeWitt found the corpses of the three wood elves left here, and angrily cursed: "This bunch of sons of bitches! I must skin them!"
He completely forgot that he had shown goodwill to Nata before, and viciously nailed the long sword to the ground, and even kicked the corpse on the ground severely.
Rody and the others did not have this kind of deep hatred. Iskar was pulling the big burden he carried out from the cave, and at the same time, he was gently rubbing the edge of the passage with his hand imperceptibly—except for him, who had just crawled through the passage. Every dragon made a similar movement, because they were very curious about what the "miracle" that really unfolded in front of them was like.
Leaving the cave means that the magic agreement just reached in the ruins is automatically terminated. Therefore, as the group leader, Kardashian consciously took everyone to a place more than ten meters away to rest. Panda and the others were also busy looking at the team's losses and collecting the remains of their companions, so everyone couldn't care less about continuing to communicate about the next step.
While taking advantage of this time, Luo Di took the opportunity to drink water and asked in a low voice: "I know that the gods show their power, but have you ever responded to a believer to this extent?"
With his back to Panda and the others, Iskar sat on the ground eating jerky and responded softly: "There was, but that was an extremely long time ago."
"There used to be more than just high elves on the mainland. Before high elves, there were various dominant existences, such as dwarves that were older, or a kind of 'giant' that was similar to humans but much larger."
Rody had only heard about this, and it was a part of the "chronology" in the "Cracked Earth" game brochure. But because these races are hardly involved in the game, Rody didn't search for more information. He probably remembered that the history of intelligent civilization records in the entire continent was only more than 3,000 years. Before that, it was not that there were no records, but the information had completely disappeared. If there is, it is estimated that only the Dragon Clan still remembers it.
"Roddy, do you think that the so-called 'miracle' is the kind that Sally showed on the magic tower?" Stiga twirled a dry tree trunk between his fingers, and said in a low voice: "That's actually just because' Artifacts 'have the power of the gods, not the same as those actually cast by the gods."
"Lord Morals—oh no, the former lord—used to explain the so-called 'miracle' to us in the forest using an underground city left by the dwarves."
His words made several dragons nearby look over. There was little communication between the major dragon clans in the past, so this kind of information sharing rarely happened. Seeing that the audience was serious, Stika continued: "The dwarves used stone reliefs to record some of the 'gods of giant stones' they believed in at the beginning. Among them are the stories of a giant sculpture appearing overnight, and monsters being directly defeated by divine power.”
"Not to mention the dwarves, in the early days of the high elves, various gods showed many miracles. Not to mention digging a hole, some even dominated the situation of the war and directly defeated the enemy with divine power."
This is Essien's supplement, and Kardashian drew a line on the ground with his staff: "Later, it should be in the period of high elf civilization. The number and records of such miracles suddenly decreased a lot, that is, since then From there, religions of all kinds began to die out. Eventually they disappeared almost entirely.”
Not everyone can talk about the history of miracles in the mainland. In this world where information is blocked and storage methods are low, although the records of the Dragon Clan are not so reliable, they can be regarded as one of the few sources with "credibility" one. Several giant dragons discussed in a low voice,
Rather, it gave Roddy an "overview" of what various "gods" did.
He and Kardashian are the only ones in this group who have faced and communicated with the real God. But Corsus is just one of many gods, and his words do not represent the truth. Rody couldn't figure out what the "moon god" Strian wanted to do through the way of thinking of Corsus.
"What about the 'God's Punishment' that Iskar mentioned earlier?"
"That is a punishment for those who slander the gods. A member of the dragon clan suffered once, and the result was a serious injury. It took years of training to barely recover. This should be the result of the other party saving face."
Rubens made a snowball from the snow on the ground and rubbed it in his hands boredly: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, this is an elder of our Black Dragon Clan. But he has returned to the embrace of the Dragon God long ago, and in the end he didn't Tell others what it feels like."
They discussed in low voices about the gods, while on the other side, after barely restraining the corpses, the mercenaries decided to bury them on the spot. After all, the environment of Jingyu Forest is dangerous, and walking with the dead body is undoubtedly asking for trouble for himself. Louis cast a spell on the ground to dig out a deep pit for burial, and then used magic to bury the body—afterwards, Panda, as a priest, presided over a short funeral, chanting prayers to let the mercenaries and the congregation Companion rest in peace.
The palm holding the necklace was raised slightly, as if the real silver light also splashed out, fell behind the piled tombs, and gradually disappeared in the soil.
After witnessing so many miracles with their own eyes, DeWitt and the others finally understood that the priests in front of them were definitely not the "magic sticks" they had heard about in the past. So he took the lead and knelt down on one knee, and said in a low voice: "The Ice Fist Mercenary Group is grateful for the life-saving grace of the priest. After we return, we will definitely tell everyone what you showed today..."
"May the moonlight protect you forever."
Panda nodded and accepted the thanks, and DeWitt even asked if there were any restrictions on joining the "Moon God Religion"—this was obviously a sign of worshiping the Moon God. Except for the two elementalists, the other mercenaries expressed their willingness to join the "Luna Sect" in order to pray for Strian's protection.
Today's priest, Panda, is completely different from the arcanist who suffered from abandoning the arcane a few days ago. At the same time as the miracle unfolded, he also heard the voice from the distant sky in his mind. This made him completely abandon his previous arcane knowledge in his heart, and serve the omnipotent Moon God wholeheartedly.
"As long as you want, you can do it anytime."
This scene did not surprise Roddy and others. For most people, "faith" is a blind obedience to "unknown power". After Panda settled his team, he came over to greet him peacefully: "Captain Julia, we have successfully escaped from the predicament and the contract has been completed. To tell you the truth, according to the original plan, we are I plan to go to the wood elf village to settle the score. But now that I have suffered heavy losses, it depends on luck whether I can get out of the forest safely."
"If possible, I hope to hire your team. After the two teams are merged, it will be safer to travel together in the forest. I wonder if Captain Julia is willing to agree?"
