Chapter 280 The Ambition of the Dwarves

Aivas and the dwarf Magnet Hammer had a great conversation and soon entered the stage of calling each other brothers.

Haina's father and Aiwas are both at the third energy level, but one of them is a blacksmith and the other is a priest. They are both on the path of dedication and have similar personalities, so they still have some common language.

Aivas doesn't know much about dwarves. It was also through Magnet Hammer's chat that he gradually understood why the conflict between dwarves and elves was so fierce.

Elves and dwarves are both races that focus on the path of dedication and believe in multiple gods at the same time. It is precisely because of this that there is such a strong and uncompromising racial conflict-just like the Avalonians and giants, the children of the moon and the werewolves.

However, Sizhu is the oldest pillar god of the path of dedication, unlike the path of authority and the path of love, which have changed bosses.

But even so, following the same path, but following different gods at the end of this path...heretics are more hateful than pagans.

The blacksmith of the path of dedication belongs to the profession of the Flame Heavenly Master, just like the Fallen Heaven Master controls the demonologists. The demonologists whose power comes from the Fallen Angels are naturally hostile to the spellcasters whose power comes from the Snake Father.

The Flame Angel is the second most powerful god in the Path of Devotion, ruling the fields of fire, steel and casting. Its power is like fire and is still growing stronger.

Because with the development of the times and the development of the industrial revolution, she is constantly actively devouring - or assimilating other gods and apostles in the Path of Devotion. The scale of her domain is still expanding.

Aiwass remembered that she would soon get the power of "steam", and continue to move towards "guns" and "machines" in about four or five years. By version 0 - that is, when his adoptive father was the boss, the dwarves who had been silent for many years would step onto the world stage on a large scale.

The flame will spread and rise, and the Flame Angel also has the power to transcend the path.

It is because the Crown Angel, who once held the power of transcendence, defeated the Supreme Heaven and became the Silver Crown Dragon... Even though the candle and the elves participated in this process, the Flame Angel is also feared by the elves.

After all, this is something that has already happened and a proven path. Nothing is impossible.

From the perspective of the older generation of elves, those Celestials who possess transcendent power are very dangerous.

Because since the Beast Master "resigned" and the Supreme Heaven "left", the world has become much more peaceful.

There are no more dangerous monsters that are everywhere in the wilderness, actively attacking everyone or even directly attacking towns. There are no more crazy people in the world who ignore laws and morals and kill, eat, and injure people at will just to show their strength.

Although there are still wars, the world has become better overall.

Now the elves just want to maintain the status quo-unlike the Beast Master and the Supreme Heaven, the nine existing pillar gods are relatively friendly. Then in a stable environment, any change is disadvantageous.

——The elves' strong hostility towards the dwarves comes from this.

Because the dwarves not only believe in the Flame Celestial. They believe in six gods, including the Shadow Celestial of the Path of Love, the Rock Celestial of the Path of Dusk, and the Ring Celestial of the Path of Transcendence... All of them are Celestials, not a single Pillar God.

From what Brother Magnethammer said, Aiwas noticed that the dwarves were very keen on strengthening their own gods, and were proud of it——

It was quite strange, and very aggressive.

Because in this world, faith does not bring power. Whether it is an apostle, a celestial being or a pillar god... these upper-level phantoms do not need believers.

If they respond to rituals or grant power, it is because they are interested in this and are willing to help mortals. Because of this, faith is essentially a personal freedom... That's why the elves worship the nine pillars at the same time.

Because everyone naturally has their own inclinations, preferences and needs, and the nine pillars are equal.

There is no path that is more powerful or more sacred-if this concept is advocated, it will only cause meaningless wars between believers, and they act completely on their own initiative, without any recognition or help from the boss above.

It's just like an out-of-control fan.

If the Supreme Heaven is still there, the situation will be different. He himself includes the concepts of "ruling by force" and "doing whatever one wants because of being the strongest", so the giants eat all other races including elves.

——But the dwarves are different from all other races.

"The purpose of our faith is to get rewards."

The magnetic hammer said without shame, even proudly: "Because what we give to the gods is not just respect and glory, but real power! This is much more real than those long ears!"

The dwarves have a strong sense of race.

They will consciously believe in those celestial officials or apostles who do not belong to the Nine Pillars, especially those with fewer believers or weaker strength, and then do their best to help them rise higher in the time dimension of thousands of years or even longer.

And the purpose is to get better rewards and clearer preferences.

The smart king will leave them one day, and the powerful military force and technology will be surpassed by other countries. Even if they rule many territories, they will sooner or later be divided internally; even if they have a glorious history, it may be gradually forgotten by future unworthy descendants.

In the long dimension of time, everything may become nothingness. All inheritances may not be passed on.

"But only gods are immortal."

The dwarf solemnly raised his fist and saluted the void.

Although faith does not make gods stronger. But there are always ways to help them.

For example, some extremely complex and spectacular spectacle-level rituals are held in the material world, or certain concepts are allowed to flourish or die to strengthen or weaken this concept.

This is of no use to the Nine Pillar Gods, but it is still useful to Tiansi and the apostles.

And all high-level phantoms are wise.

Even if dwarves lick dogs to some extent, they will still react after being licked for thousands of years - at least they will definitely not be able to adapt after being away from them.

Some were repayments of gratitude, some were deeply moved, and some were fair trades... But in short, the dwarf really licked them. The gods they revered now obviously favored the dwarves. The dwarves are waiting for one of them to be promoted to the pillar god.

——Dad, I don’t want to work hard to become the first generation of rich people, otherwise you can work hard and make me the second generation of rich people.

...Well, that's an idea.

In order to maintain the purity of its position, there are not many temples of the Nine Pillar Gods in the Yongshuang Empire - even if there are, they are all "specialist temples". It was the kind of utilitarian temple dedicated to a single god for a certain purpose.

Because it is too utilitarian, it is more like working than faith... and it is faith-based working. It is the kind of family-owned company that "employees are proud of".

Aiwass also finally understood why the elves regarded the dwarves as an "evil race". Because of the transcendent characteristics of these Tiansi, the stronger they become, the more anxious the elves become; while the dwarves are still firmly and persistently helping their bosses grow - the purpose is self-evident.

Other races will seek shelter from some Celestial Beings to some extent, but certainly not as dwarves do so brilliantly and utilitarianally - they are not simply worshiping these Celestial Beings, but "investing" in these Celestial Beings.

They were not meant to be Avalonians, but to be gryphons.

Not the people of the Pillar God, but the beloved son of the Pillar God.

...And according to Aiwass's peek into the future, the dwarves' plan was really successful.

In the current version, many elves will turn around and leave immediately when they see dwarves on the road.

Therefore, if there are many dwarves in an area, there is a high probability that there will not be any elves traveling and spending money. Also because the elves are rich, many dwarves are racially discriminated against in disguise.

And when this hatred chained back, many dwarves also disliked the elves.

Although this state of mutual dislike cannot be called hatred, and there is no inter-racial war, but there is already a state of regional discrimination between them.

Although there are also blacksmiths among the elves, the elves are not prohibited from borrowing Tiansi's power at all. It is just a requirement that the Nine Pillar Gods must be given priority to maintain the first place of respect.

In the eyes of the dwarves, who have not yet become prosperous, this is the belief of the elves who are so arrogant and look down on their race - but in fact, the dwarves also recognize the power and nobility of the elves from the bottom of their hearts.

Therefore, these elves who walk on the same path as the dwarves will be considered by the dwarves as "rare normal people among elves" and "good elves who have no airs and can communicate". At the same time, those human blacksmiths whose skills were inherited by the elven blacksmiths will also become "one of their own" in the eyes of the dwarves.

"That's why you raised Haina and Jack..."

Aiwass suddenly realized: "That's why you will teach Jack your skills - and you don't want Haina to go to the royal capital?"

"Not really, brother."

Qi Hui touched his beard and replied sincerely: "It is true that I have no wife or children. She saved my life, and I have an obligation to help her.

"But I really don't want Haina to go to the royal capital - even if she doesn't inherit the adaptability of her father's dedication to the path, can't she be an ordinary person? Or I also have a career in the dusk path here... It's rare The power of the twilight path here is so strong.”

The dwarf said angrily.

Aiwass asked casually: "Speaking of which, what is Haina's mother's name?"

The dwarf looked at him doubtfully.

"Isn't that Haina's mother?"

……Um?

Aiwass was stunned for a moment.

Then the dwarf responded and explained: "Many villagers in this village have no names...except for the children born in these years."

"no name?"

Aiwass was completely surprised this time.
