Chapter 614: The Elf Who Struggled to Adapt
Chapter 607 – The Elf Who Struggles to Adapt
Two priests of different races sat together, lit a stove of fine incense, and in the smoke, exchanged words in a way that was unique to priests, such as pointing at the smoke and talking about the weather, looking at the bonfire and talking about the harvest, and touching their asses and pulling fertility.
Seven pull eight pull, and so have a hallucinogenic effect of incense played a role, before shaking his head with a vague language said it is not convenient to say things, as for the other side can not understand, huh, with the doctor’s handwritten formulas, you say that they do not understand.
When the color of the sky began to become dark, the drug has not gone down the lizardman priests left a sacred book after shaking the departure, and the head a little bit as if not slowed down the elf high priest staring at the charcoal fire two eyes straight.
Don’t look at the elf high priest looks like his brain has run away from home, in fact, his heart is awake, but now he is just reminiscing about the feeling of the two old foxes just now.
The current situation was better than he had imagined, this never heard of empire has a very strong inclusiveness, not only elves and lizardmen, there are many different races living together, such as the beast subhuman in the mountains, and the human outside the forest.
Different races, different beliefs, but miraculously no disputes, because they all believe in the same gods and goddesses belong to the same divine system, and never limit their beliefs to only one god or goddess.
This time, the lizardman priests came to not only help their new neighbors, but also to promote their own belief in the goddess Mother of Dragons.
However, the lizardman priests knew that there was not much hope, after all, except for the lizardmen, the other races were more in awe of the Mother of Dragons rather than believing in her, so they were holding on to the idea of making good karma.
Although the empire does not prohibit conflict between different races, but limited to conflict, really dare to swing a knife to start, guaranteed to be the imperial army fancy hanging, but also by the gods and goddesses hate, so the original style of barbaric lizardmen also began to learn to use a more gentle way to contact with other races, this time is the lizardman priests to take the lead in an attempt.
For the lizardman priests, it was a dispensable attempt, but for the elf high priest, it was a matter of life and death, and he didn’t dare to be careless in the slightest.
After drinking a bottle of magic potion to replenish his energy, the Elf High Priest carefully pondered over the events of this period of time, as well as the conversation he had just had, with a serious look that was not elfin at all.
No elf is willing to live into this appearance, but unfortunately for the high priest who carries the future of this elf, naivety, arrogance, fluke, laziness, these are the enemy, in order to survive, in order to continue, let him personally send the most beautiful elf to the hands of the slavers, he will do it, even if his heart will not forgive himself for his own actions even to death.
Although cruel, it is the law of survival in the material world, no one will treat you kindly because of your kindness, only the strong are qualified to have compassion, but also because the elf high priest has no capital to make mistakes at all now.
With the blasphemy of his own faith, the Elf High Priestess inwardly complex picked up the sacred codex and flipped through it.
The elf high priest was not from any remote elf tribe, in fact, he was the chief high priest of a certain elf kingdom, and even went to the elf empire that was favored by the elf gods to further his studies for a hundred years, so he could be said to be knowledgeable, and it was also precisely because of the sufficient knowledge that he was shocked at the content of the holy code.
The Elf High Priest was no stranger to divine systems, but it was very rare for a divine system to have so many gods and goddesses, and all of them were goddesses.
However, this divine system was not the immodest kind, on the contrary, there were only two Divine Queens who were Divine Kings, and the other goddesses had their own roles to play, making it quite a well-developed and great potential divine system. After returning to his senses, the High Priest carefully flipped down the page, with each page, his faith weakened by one point, and his aura became even more shriveled, even carrying a few hints of a deathly aura.
This is because the elf high priest betrayed his faith in the elf ancient tree, he was looking for a new object of worship, such an impious performance, if not for his faith in the elf ancient tree, I’m afraid that he would have already suffered divine punishment, even so, not only the body, and even the soul has traces of fragmentation, it can be said that there is only one step away from the ashes of the smoke.
As the chief high priest, the old elf’s faith degree of firmness is needless to say, but in his heart, the continuation of the elves is still in the heart of the faith above, coupled with a succession of blows and the future to face the great pressure of the predicament brought about by the miraculous conversion of his faith in one night.
This is not chipping away at it, but smashing the porcelain and reshaping it into shape, the difficulty can be imagined.
After paying a huge price, the elf high priest vaguely felt part of the essence of the believing gods and goddesses through his shallow faith, and was instantly relieved that he had made the right choice.
Unfortunately, a single faith was too little and not devout enough, so the Elven High Priest steeled himself and personally dug out the last roots of the Elven Ancient Tree.
This was a three meter high wooden cylinder, the heart of the Elf Ancient Tree, equivalent to a human’s heart, what it meant to dig it out with his own hands, the Elf High Priest knew only too well, the Elf Flying Boat, which originally still had some life left in it, quickly withered away, and all the Elves fell into sadness and bewilderment because this was the only faith they had left.
Fortunately, the elf high priest came forward in time, using his own prestige as a guarantee, claiming that after coming here he felt a goddess’s pity for them, and that if they were pious enough, they might be able to obtain this goddess’s shelter.
At this time, the elves were at a special time when they had lost the goal of faith and were in a state of uncertainty, so they were slowly attracted to the goddess described by the elf high priestess.
“This is a goddess that represents spring, she will bring new life to us, allowing us to gradually grow and prosper like grasses sprouting in spring.” The Elf High Priestess steeled herself and tried to proclaim the Goddess of Spring, and decided to organize a festival for the Goddess of Spring in half a month, and invited the nearby lizardmen to join her.
The lizardmen were no strangers to the Goddess of Spring, because after learning to farm, every year at the beginning of spring, they would organize a spring festival to worship the Goddess of Spring.
This was not surprising, even the lizardmen would worship the Goddess of Cats or other gods and goddesses in their homes, and this did not affect the lizardmen’s belief in the Mother of Dragons, apparently the Empire allowing for multiple beliefs had affected the lizardmen.
After knowing this, the elf high priest was always a bit uncomfortable, because no matter whether it was the elf kingdom or the elf empire, even if they believed in the same elf god or goddess of the same elf god family, the believers would not believe in each other’s gods and goddesses, and it was even regarded as a big taboo.
However, the relaxed faith environment was a good thing for the elves who belonged to the outsiders, but the elf high priest didn’t relax because of this, instead, he was more active in preparing to seize this opportunity, and the one hundred elf teenage girls and boys who weren’t sent out became the main force of this sacrifice, earnestly learning the Divine Hymns and the Dance of the Sacrificial Dance.
