Chapter 441: God War and the Wrath of the Sacred Artifact Olaf
Although there are famous ancient landscape roads and many landscapes, the town of Milda actually occupies a small area, and the larger areas are expanded scenic spots.
Being picked up and dropped off by local clergy, York's walking there felt like walking in the vast white snow, surrounded by mountains, like walking in an ice and snow town.
"Mr. Bishop York, because the magic circle will automatically block the presence of the church and isolate ordinary people, we usually use this passage."
Yorks raised his eyes and looked at the huge magic circle covering the entire sky. He nodded and let Father Bornhard continue to lead.
Finally, under the leadership of the local Father Bornhard, we walked on a winding path next to the town, with woods covered with snow on both sides. When the view became wider and wider, in a large wide valley, Yorkshire Saw the Borgon wooden church.
"Mr. Bishop York, this is the Borgon Wooden Church." Father Bornhard whispered beside him.
"Father, this church is so special." Hannah said in it.
"It's all made of wood. It's the first time I've seen it."
Father Bornhard glanced at Hannah who spoke out. He didn't know what the relationship between this lady and the Bishop of York was, so that she could call him "Father".
But seeing that Bishop York had no reaction or expression, and instead nodded in agreement with the lady's words, Father Bornhard did not dare to say anything, so he just followed the words.
"My Lord Bishop of York, most of the Borgon Timber Church is composed of wooden structures, so it is entirely composed of vertical wooden boards or wooden pillars. The four corner pillars are connected to the threshold.
But the entire church is based on a stone, and the remaining wooden pillars have sills carved out of the ground. Each sill will avoid the cut and have slots along the sides so that they lock into a plane, forming a solid wall……"
Listening to Father Bornhard's introduction, Yorks relaxed the restrictions of the three-dimensional view and had a clear view of the environment here.
The open space outside the Borgon wooden church is full of tombstones erected one after another. They only have names but no deeds. They look very spectacular when fully covered with snow.
But Yorkist felt a kind of strife and war from the ancient century from the dense tombstones, as if he was seeing that period of history.
"Are they all colleagues who died in that divine war?" Yorks turned to look at Father Bornhard and asked.
According to the records in the secret room of the headquarters, it can be summarized in one paragraph.
In order to preach, the saint Saint Olav II Haraldsson vowed to spread the church's faith to every corner of Northern Europe to replace the long-standing local mythological beliefs.
As a result, St. Olav II, the king of Norway, began to actively expand his territory and strengthen the country's strength. He led a brave army and many following clergy and knights to embark on the path of divine warfare, conquering all directions and becoming invincible.
In this fierce war, Saint Olav II showed amazing courage and wisdom. He skillfully used tactics to defeat the armies of followers of Norse mythology again and again.
Finally, in a decisive battle of the God War, he personally led everyone to break through the defense line of the believers in Norse mythology and captured and killed their gods one by one.
On that day, all the gods in Norse mythology howled in pain, shed their divine blood and continued to fall, so that the sky and the earth began to turn red.
With the capture and fall of the gods and the defeat of the believers in Norse mythology, coupled with the deliberate suppression of St. Olaf II, the belief in Norse mythology gradually collapsed.
During this period, St. Olav II took the opportunity to vigorously promote the church and convert more people to the church. With his efforts, the Nordic region gradually became the territory of the church...
Yorks didn't know if there was such a person in the previous life, but he knew that such a person did exist in the parallel world under his feet, the saint Saint Olav II Haraldsson.
The records in the information are very simple, but the moment Yorkist saw that section of information, he could actually feel the bloody atmosphere in it, and he could see the flames of war at that time with just one glance.
You must know that this parallel world has extraordinary powers, extraordinary things, and gods.
If nothing else, Alessa is a living example. If Alessa hadn't often told him about the situation of the Indians, he would have almost forgotten that Alessa also had another identity, that is, the god believed by the ancient Indians.
So in that era, in Northern Europe, the belief in Norse mythology was actually much stronger than the church. They were both composed of various Nordic myths.
Just like the fairy tales heard on the train, they are not part of Nordic mythology.
In other words, at that time, there were many gods like Alessa living in the lands of Northern Europe.
But in the end... the saint Saint Olav II Haraldsson personally came to the door with his people and killed them all, and the strategy was to kill them all.
That’s why the church has its current scale in this vast land.
Father Bornhard was silent for a moment, nodded slightly and said respectfully:
"Yes, Lord Bishop York."
Hearing this, Yorkist sighed inwardly as he looked at these densely packed tombstones, not knowing what to think.
"Let's go, I want to see the holy artifacts of Saint Olav II Haraldson."
Father Bornhard nodded slightly, said yes respectfully, and began to lead the way.
The group walked along the path surrounded by tombstones and finally arrived at the Borgon Wooden Church.
When the church was in front of them, Irene and others, who were silent due to the atmosphere, realized that the Borgon Wooden Church was really big.
Regarding this, York was not surprised. After all, according to the data, the saint Saint Olav II Haraldsson was more than three meters tall. This temporary church was created by cutting down a giant tree with his own hands. Naturally, it needs to fit his body shape.
After all, this is the battle site of the Divine War. According to records, the Sognefjord, which is 204 kilometers long and 1,308 meters deep, is the result of that Divine War.
Yorks looked up at the entire Borgon wooden church, and a figure appeared in his eyes, like a majestic mountain peak standing on the earth.
His rough and resolute face, with his unkempt beard covering his face, added a bit of wildness and domineering. His eyes were deep and bright, revealing firmness and courage, as if he could see through all the truth.
He was holding a huge battle ax and looking up to the sky with a serious expression on his face.
"Roar!"
The next second, there was a roar that made York's ears buzz. The figure in front of him was slowly covered by a holy white light and disappeared.
"Uncle Yorks?"
At this moment, while everyone was still looking around, Alessa suddenly spoke.
When the voice fell, Yorks blinked and looked down.
Alessa was tugging at the hem of his clothes, "What's wrong with you?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked over.
Yorks glanced at everyone, stroked the top of Alessa's head, shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm fine."
Just now, he felt the charm left by this church.
He didn't know whether this charm was emanating from the battle ax held by the legendary saint Saint Olav II Haraldsson, which was the church's sacred axe, Olav's Wrath.
But this sacred instrument is not only a symbol of the saint St. Olaf II, but also his weapon. It has accompanied the saint to defeat evil countless times and protect the peace and tranquility of the world.
Looking at the doubtful and thoughtful eyes of everyone, Yorks looked at the layout in front of the church and said calmly.
"Keep walking."
As soon as these words came out, even though everyone had doubts, they nodded in agreement.
Everyone continued to walk again.
The Borgon Church has a nave, aisles, chancel and apse, as well as a raised central European-style nave divided into four sides.
Everyone walked through the path and finally came to the main hall outside the church.
Coming here, Hannah's muttering followed.
"You see the raised part, it looks like a cross."
Yorkes responded: "It was originally created in the structure of a cross."
From the three-dimensional view, Yorkshire has long discovered this. If it is described as a plan view, a cross structure will appear, with the nave as the center, and the four raised sides connected to form a standard of cross.
Father Bornhard nodded slightly: "Mr. Bishop York, you are right. At that time, Saint Olav II Harald did create this temporary church based on the cross. This is recorded in the records. things.”
"Yeah." Yorks nodded and looked forward.
The main entrance was in the middle of the church, and from the perspective view he knew that through this door he could enter the chancel and apse.
"continue."
Father Bornhard nodded and continued to lead.
The group of people walked in the hall again
In the middle hall of this platform, when you walk in, you can enter the hall through this door, and finally go directly to the altar and its apse.
The main hall is nothing special, not even decorated, but it has an atmosphere that can calm you unconsciously, so that after a group of people entered, the footsteps became fainter, as if they were afraid of disturbing the tranquility.
Finally, they passed through the main hall, and under the watchful eyes of the knights stationed in the main hall, the group came to the altar in the center. The so-called altar was actually the same as the ordinary main church, but it was simpler than all the churches.
There are no modern things or decorations, and even the windows are all made by hollowing out wood.
If it weren't for the rows of benches and the high platform in the depths, everyone would have thought they were walking into an ordinary wooden house.
As for the raised sides outside, it only expands the area of the open space.
This made Hannah, who had always had a sense of expectation, and even Erin, Healy, and John Wick unconsciously show a hint of disappointment.
Because this church, which is said to be founded by the saint of the church, is really simple and unremarkable. The only thing that can be said about it is that it has an atmosphere that can make people calm down unconsciously. It is indeed more impressive than other churches. .
As for Alessa, she looked innocent and didn't care what it looked like here. She just looked at her Uncle York from time to time.
She really had no interest.
And Yorkist was even more indifferent, but he looked at it carefully for a few times, felt it seriously, and finally shook his head slightly in his heart. What he was sure of was that the source that could affect his charm was not here, but came from the apse inside.
"Mr. Bishop York?" Father Bornhard glanced at the people next to the bishop and whispered.
Yorks understood what he meant and gave instructions to Erin, Healy, John Wick, Hannah, and Alessa.
"Wait for me here."
Not everyone is qualified to enter the location of the church's holy artifacts. He is York, otherwise even ordinary bishops are not qualified to see it. Some qualified bishops have to apply to the Norwegian Diocese for approval, instead of just saying that he wants to see it like him, and the Norwegian Diocese will arrange it directly.
After all, Saint Olaf II Harald was born and founded by the Norwegian Diocese, so his weapon, the Axe of Divine Judgment - Olaf's Wrath, naturally belongs to the Norwegian Diocese.
However, thinking of this, York remembered the arrangement of the old man Bishop Georgi, and his eyebrows were slightly raised.
If the Norwegian Diocese was transferred to his name, would he be qualified to use this legendary holy artifact, the Axe of Divine Judgment - Olaf's Wrath?
Before he could think about it, the voices from Irene and others interrupted him.
"Yes!"
Yorks came back to look at them, ignoring Father Bernhard's hesitant look, and smiled: "If you feel bored, you can go out for a walk, just don't touch the magic circle outside."
In addition to Irene, there are John Wick and Alessa, only Hannah and Hilly's eyes light up slightly.
One is because of boredom, and the other is with a research attitude.
Yorks shook his head and looked at Father Bernhard calmly.
"Let's go, don't worry about them, they know what they are doing and won't do anything."
After these words came out, even if Father Bernhard had any objections in his heart, he could only bow slightly, lower his head and say yes, and continue to play the role of leader.
Under the gaze of everyone, Yorks continued to follow Father Bernhard to the back hall behind the altar, that is, the raised part behind, the vertical bar above the cross.
But in fact, Yorks already knew what the back hall looked like through the stereogram.
The entire ground had been hollowed out long ago, forming a staircase leading down.
Going about 20 meters underground, there will be a huge stone door, with six knights who look very strong and powerful on both sides.
However, compared with the knight in front, there is a knight he knows here, and his status is considered a captain.
I just didn't expect to appear here and become a gatekeeper. The so-called gatekeeper is basically the identity of guarding holy artifacts, which is not something that ordinary people can do.
In the end, the spread of the stereogram stopped here. There was no other reason, because the stone door had its own superposition array, and some power prevented his stereogram from peeping.
Of course, York felt that he could actually peepe through it by force, but peeping would inevitably trigger a chain reaction, so he stopped, which means that he didn't know the situation behind the stone door.
When everything was extended as the stereogram, York had followed Father Bernhard to the stone door.
Under York's gaze, the six knights stationed at the stone door bowed their heads slightly and saluted.
"Bishop York, Father Bernhard."
Yorks nodded, looked at the knight in the middle of the right rear whose heart rate only fluctuated slightly and barely lasted for a period of time, and smiled slightly.
"Long time no see, Brother Hashem."
