Chapter 191 Baldur's Gate
It has to be said that they are using religion as a banner to fight against religion.
Or the modified Flying Noodle God Cult, changing the Flying Noodle God into the Hot Pot God!
Wang Jinjue's idea is very interesting, which shows that he has really been studying Shinto recently.
"Hot pot... is indeed better than noodles." Zhou Changliu nodded, indicating that hot pot is delicious.
"Huh? Can you still play like this? Is it okay to play like this?" Zhang Zichen said, it seems that it doesn't sound very reliable.
"Give it a try, there is no loss anyway. Isn't success fun?" Tang Yu said with a smile.
After refining and modifying the "Ultimate Formless Demon Lord Gong" again, Tang Yu smiled like a spring breeze, but it didn't match his temperament with a face full of flesh, and it looked very strange.
Wang Jinjue and Zhang Zichen always felt that Tang Yu would turn against him in the next second and punch him.
Since everyone has the same idea, let's follow this direction and add, subtract, delete and supplement some details.
The first thing is... to determine what place this is and what era it is.
What if they walked out of this room and it was the hell of Baator, and a bloody battle would happen as soon as they opened the door? What kind of hot pot cult would they have?
So they walked out of this room and came to a street.
The wind from the sea blew over, allowing them to clearly see that there was a port on one side of the city, with all kinds of Mediterranean architectural styles, and all kinds of people and non-people. Half-elves, halflings, dwarves, and even trolls and ogres.
The exotic atmosphere was overwhelming, and everyone spoke a language that Tang Yin could not understand.
Fortunately, they all had translators, which were a kind of thing that could be carried on the body and could translate the 11,000 common languages recognized by the Lord God.
For this mass-produced thing, the Lord God's profiteer actually wanted 500 points? And the Wheel Trade Zone only needed 100 points. Since Tang Yin bought it, he had been throwing it in his bag, and today he used it.
After turning on the translator, Tang Yin could hear the voices of people around him, looked at the translator's "Toril-Main Material World-Common Language", and then used the magnetic field to feel the atmosphere of more than ten kilometers around.
Well... without strong people, they are all weaklings.
"There are no strong people in this place. You can go around and get some information. Now..." Tang Yin looked at the sun, not knowing what time it was, and said, "Let's meet there when the sun sets."
Following Tang Yin's finger, several people saw a tall circular building. The dome roof seemed to be made entirely of colorful stained glass, which was very interesting.
"Okay!"
"OK~"
"I wonder if there is a bathhouse here!" Zhou Changliu said, shaking his head.
"..."
Didn't you just take a bath?
"Everyone has a sense of time, don't be late!" Tang Yin said to these people seriously.
Wang Jinjue and Zhang Zichen looked at Zhou Changliu at the same time. Zhou Changliu said puzzledly: "What are you looking at me for? I have a strong sense of time!"
Ah, yes, yes, you are right.
Tang Yin left these teammates and walked around. Just flipping through the memory of a thief, I knew that the place where he was was the famous Baldur's Gate.
Most people's impression of Baldur's Gate comes from the game "Baldur's Gate" which uses the rules of DND.
[The game has a grand background and is highly playable. It is a masterpiece. Unfortunately, the author's computer configuration is not enough, which is really sad. ]
Baldur's Gate is located on the west coast of Faerun, in the central part of the west. Although the soil is poor, its unique shelter is away from the beating of the coastal tides, making it an ideal place to trade goods from the western coast of the Sword Sea to the inland areas.
Especially because trade has nothing to do with personal faction tendencies, anyone who does business in a harmless way will be welcomed to trade in the city. This tolerant attitude has made Baldur's Gate the largest trade center along the entire Sword Coast, surpassing Waterdeep and Amn in competition.
There is even a saying that "whoever controls Baldur's Gate controls the goods."
Simply put, Baldur's Gate is a trading city. The city is divided into the upper city (noble area), the lower city (port area) and the outer city (slum area) along the Dust Eagle Mountain outside the city.
At this time, Tang Yin was in the lower city, which was built in a circle along the port of Gray Harbor. At the port, Tang Yin even saw more than a dozen docks and dozens of amazing mechanical cranes for loading and unloading cargo on and off ships.
The cranes were invented by the priests of Gund, the god of craftsmen.
The gods of the continent of Faerun are very active. They manifest their power by manipulating clergy such as druids, paladins or other believers, and even directly intervene in mortal affairs to plan conspiracies, wars, frame-ups or alliances. If the worshiper's faith weakens or disappears, they will lose power, so the gods require priests to find worshipers and continue their faith. In exchange, the gods give them the power of spells.
Baldur's Gate is very open to faith, and there are many places of worship distributed in various districts. For example, the Twin Song District accepts all beliefs and accommodates a large number of temples and shrines that believe in almost all gods. Even those temples dedicated to evil gods, such as those of Bane and Baal, are tolerated by the city's Flaming Fist Warriors.
But there are three gods that are the main beliefs of the citizens of Baldur:
Umberle, the goddess of the sea (the queen of the sea).
Tymora, the goddess of luck.
Gund, the god of craftsmen.
In addition to these, there are also some small cults and mysterious social groups that have made their home in Baldur's Gate.
There are many temples in the lower city, such as the temple of the sea goddess Umberlee and the temple of the god of suffering Ilmater. Tang Yin also looked at them one by one.
Umberlee deserves the nickname of "shrew queen". This temple is green and black, and it is so damp and smells like the sea. It is too abstract.
Ilmater is also a mentally retarded person. If suffering can change the world, why would anyone suffer!
Only the temple of the god of craftsmen Gund [Hall of Miracles] is interesting. It is open to everyone and displays the strange objects invented by these priests. These strange objects are very interesting, but unfortunately there is no stable power source. If it is equipped with steam, the picture is too beautiful.
He observed in several temples and found that the process of believers entering the temple here is very simple. After entering, hand in gifts (or money) to show respect to God, and then pray under the statue under the guidance of the priest.
This kind of paying money and praying after entering the temple is too direct.
Can't they pay the money, pray, and then have a holy meal?
For example, hot pot.
It seems that this hot pot cult is still a bit promising.
Tang Yu thought about this in his heart, and went to other upper and outer city districts to take a look. After a visit, he also knew what era it was now, which was 1420DR.
Baldur's Gate 2 was 1369DR, and Baldur's Gate 3 was 1492DR.
This time is between Baldur's Gate 2 and Baldur's Gate 3. I wonder if I will meet the characters in the game plot.
Speaking of which, this world is surprisingly normal, and it is not too abstract.
It seems that the previous abstract worlds must be coincidences!
The God of Hot Pot is a setting in the first book I wrote. Anyway, not many people have read that book, so I took it and modified it again. This wave is copying myself.
