Otherworldly White Dragon Lord

Chapter 177 The Temple and the Ancient Myth

There was a saying!If a race loses a large amount of male population abnormally, but as long as it has enough women, it can make up the population in a short time. On the contrary, if a race loses a large amount of female population, then this race is not far from genocide.

As the capital of a country, the city of Saxony’s capital is still quite large, but there are not many pedestrians on the street. Whether it is the two brothers Elric or Manigott, they noticed the men and women of the Kingdom of Saxony after walking around. There is some imbalance in the population ratio. The female population is very large and the male population is low. Among them, elderly men are rarely seen. Obviously, the battle between Belika Fortress and the Ogman seriously consumes the entire country's population.The female population of the Kingdom of Saxony is too large, but it cannot withstand the large-scale deaths of young and middle-aged men every year. Last year and this year, the [Frost Storm Barrier] blocked the Ogman’s path of aggression to the south, and the Kingdom of Saxony finally reduced its population. The depletion temporarily gave the Saxon Kingdom, which was almost bled to a weakened state by the'slow knife' named Ogg barbarian, twice precious breathing time.

As Schneizel expected, even though it might be peeped by some ambitious territories because of the loss of the role of blocking the Ogman going south, the Kingdom of Saxony still has no reason to reject this transaction, let alone the transaction. The target was a'god' who dominated the dragon, and even the overlord Garselik who once ruled the entire continent entered into an alliance with him.

The lack of food is the weakness of the Kingdom of Saxony. There is no way to do this. After all, the cold extreme north is mostly frozen soil, and there is too little land that can be used for farming.Of course, although the far north is not suitable for farming, it is absolutely indifferent to the four words of barren land. The various minerals buried under the earth are very rich. Every year the Kingdom of Saxony receives food and material assistance from countries on the mainland. The export of various ores has become the country's main source of income.The rich mineral resources also drove the technology and trade of iron products in the Kingdom of Saxony.In addition, the huge number of forests in the country and border areas also brought a lot of rich products. Rough, herbs, leather, and long-haired cotton boll sheep are all exports of the Kingdom of Saxony.

In the street, Xiaodouzi Edward bought a hand-made deerskin boots and put it in the storage ring for future use. When looking at the exquisite and sharp swords in the forge, Alphonse’s armor was still The blacksmith watched it for a while, and Edward's mechanical armor became a topic of criticism among several blacksmiths. Among them, several senior blacksmiths who had worked for a lifetime wanted to buy this well-made'steel prosthetic' at a high price. Scared Edward hurriedly escaped from the blacksmith shop!

"What's a joke? Those uncles! Looks like they're going to eat me." In the alley, Edward was breathing and resting. It took a lot of work to get rid of the uncle blacksmiths who were'steel idiots'.

"But I don't think those uncles are terrible." Alphonse seemed to say with good feelings: "They are very kind, they call me little brother,Few people call me that since becoming this body."

Edward lowered his head helplessly, and Manigott looked at the two brothers in a gloating look. They were really funny.

A line in the blacksmith's shop made Manigote notice something. Various swords and weapons were sold, but there was no steel armor for sale in the blacksmith's shop. Even the shields only had a few round shields.After asking the blacksmith, I learned that the Kingdom of Saxony cannot help but sell weapons to civilians, but it prohibits the sale of armor and armor without authorization.

After some investigation, there are three main reasons for this phenomenon.

One: The temperature in the extreme north is too cold to wear iron armor. Even mercenaries from outside and city guards wear relatively warm leather armor. Only regular troops wear heavy steel armor when fighting. .

Two: Compared to the manufacturing process of making swords and various weapons and armors, and the production period is very long, it usually takes a blacksmith to build a whole body armor for a soldier, including helmets, breastplates, leg armors, boots and arm armors. The whole work takes one month to complete. Usually, most of the blacksmiths who can build armor are specialized personnel belonging to the country, who are responsible for uniformly arranging the building work.

Three: The effect of armor is very obvious in cold weapon combat. Hundreds of regular armoured troops can easily defeat ragged and miscellaneous militias several times more than their own. There have been several large-scale slave uprisings in the free city. Armed forces have been forcibly suppressed, even in this world with magic, some armors made of special metals with extremely high resistance to magic are also a huge threat to the mage. For this reason, many countries on the mainland have Can not help but the tradition of weapons and armor.

As he walked all the way to Chengxi District, the sharp-eyed Manigot suddenly noticed a short figure not far away carrying a lot of tools on the road. A bearded dwarf with all white beard and hair was quite messy but had a beard. But they are carefully woven into small braids with copper rings.

"There will be dwarves after the elves pass." Although he has probably learned about the world in Ulduar, Manigott still feels a little novel in the face of elves and dwarves that only appeared in the age of mythology.

"Really short enough, not taller than me?" Edward said with a smirk, as if something in his heart felt a lot more balanced.

As if seeing a treasured animal, a group of three followed the dwarf until the dwarf walked into a temple. The three stopped. The stone pillars outside the temple were carved with a vivid stone statue of the goddess, carrying it as if eternal The goddess who held the holy sword and the holy shield, and wore the mighty armor, Manigote, who had watched the duel of Princess Luojiean, recognized the identity of the goddess at first glance.

The ice goddess who once performed miracles in the arena-Aizhuoma!

This is the holy temple in the western part of the mainland where the goddess of ice and snow, one of the five supreme gods, was worshipped. Edward and Alphonse saw the dwarf walk into the temple and became bewildered. Before they set off, Yalin also asked everyone not to interact with them. The two major religious organizations, the Holy See and the Holy Capital have contact, because the gods believed by the two major religious organizations may become their own enemies in the future.

Edward waved his hand and turned to leave: "Okay, we can go back now."

"Don't worry, it's too early." Manigote looked at the ice and snow goddess' temple thoughtfully and smiled.

"Mr. Yalin didn't say try not to contact religious organizations." Alphonse was still a little worried.

Manigott shrugged and said with interest: "Go in and take a look. In fact, I am also very curious about what kind of existence the gods of this world are."

"But Mr. Yalin, he┉┉"

"It's nothing but it's not, just treat it as investigating the enemy's situation."

Manigott did not hesitate to veto Alphonse's words, and grabbed Edward, who was about to stray, with his arms, and dragged the two brothers into the temple with Alphonse's armor.At the moment he stepped into the temple, Manigott stopped and frowned. It seemed that a strange wave of power swept across his body just now. It was an inexplicable feeling, but it was certain. There is no danger in this force.

Manigote shrugged his shoulders, although he couldn't figure out what was going on, but he stepped into the temple with one foot.

The temple of the Snow Goddess has a lot of people coming and going, which shows the lofty status of the Snow Goddess Azoma in the hearts of the inhabitants of the Kingdom of Saxony, and here the Elric brothers and Manigott found that the only people praying inside were the dwarves. There are actually many non-human races outside. On the right side is an elf who is cleaning the altar, and the dwarf who has just entered the temple in the garden on the side is repairing tables and chairs with a tall orc.

As soon as Manigote and his party entered the temple, a female attendant welcomed them politely. Alphonse’s armor was eye-catching in the temple, and the attendant found that the three of them were new The face does not seem to be a native of the Saxon Kingdom from the skin color and characteristics, so he took the initiative to ask about it.

"Everyone, this is the sanctuary of Aizhuoma, one of the five highest gods in the world, the goddess of ice and snow, are you planning to pray to the goddess?" The 16-year-old girl attendant said politely.

"We just come in casually and take a look."

Manigote’s words made the attendants a little puzzled. The ice and snow goddess Aizhuoma is one of the five most high gods in the western part of the mainland. It is a household Valkyrie in the western part of the mainland. Even the eastern part of the mainland, which is strictly sealed by the Holy See, has a certain reputation. The man with long purple hair and a cynical temperament in front of him seemed to have met the goddess of ice and snow for the first time.Looking at the little boy under the arm of the man and the big man's armor behind him, the attendant girl became more and more confused about the other party's coming.

The magnanimous doctrine of the Supreme God of the Holy Capital, as long as the visitor does not make blasphemous and rude actions, there is no reason to drive him away. The attendant girl can only explain the origins and origins of the ice goddess Aizhuoma for Manigote. The attendant girl also found that the man in front of her seemed to be listening with gusto, as if she really knew the existence of the ice goddess Aizhuoma for the first time.

Perhaps the other party came from an area blocked by the despicable Holy See from the eastern part of the mainland. Today is the first time that the gods in the world have more than the only goddess of light, Ishtar.When I thought of the attendant girl here, she became more enthusiastic and took the three of them to visit the temple, and continued to explain the miracles of the five supreme gods and the doctrine of the holy capital. It was obvious that the attendant girl was sincerely preparing to rob the three followers of the Holy See.

"The goddess of ice and snow turned out to be the Valkyrie too" Edward continued to record in his notebook.

"Then Miss Tiya, the goddess of ice and snow is also the most powerful of the five highest gods?" Alphonse also had his own questions.

For Edward and Alphonse, although they have experienced many things, they are still two fifteen or sixteen-year-old children, and their playful nature has always remained in their hearts.Some documents, holy objects and sculptures were displayed in the corridors of the temple, which made the two people dazzled to see, and Tiya, a servant girl of the same age, quickly became acquainted with the two brothers and learned each other’s names. After that, there was no such restraint as originally.

"The five supreme gods are not arranged in order. Just like the doctrine of the Holy Capital, all beings are equal. Goddess Aizhuoma is not only a Valkyrie but also a goddess of justice and justice. All judges in the western part of the mainland appear before the court. All must have sworn in the name of the goddess that their judgment will be absolutely fair. In addition, the goddess Aizhuoma also represents the water in the elements, and the sea goddess is also the incarnation of Aizhuma."

"It's really hard for this goddess to have multiple jobs," Manigote said jokingly.

Dia slapped her tongue for a while and really didn’t know how to refute this sentence that was a bit rude to the gods. After all, the five supreme gods believed in by many different races, each race had a different understanding of the gods. Ya had to change the subject and continue: "For the people of the far north, the deeds of the ice goddess has been passed down in ancient times."

"What kind of legend?"

"That is the age of the twilight of the gods┉┉"

"Demons and fallen evil dragons entrenched in the abyss ravaged the entire world. Under the guidance of the five supreme gods, all the good creatures waged a fierce battle with the demons and evil dragons. War flames burned everywhere on the earth. Blood soaked every inch of the ground."

"And in the cold extreme north, an evil dragon that can control ice and snow was quietly born into the world. The evil dragon possesses unparalleled power and attempts to freeze the earth forever with its death and cold. The goddess of ice and snow once tried to save it. Soul, but the evil dragon pretends to surrender on the surface, but secretly betrays the trust of the goddess Aizhuma, trying to kill the goddess forever occupying the land blessed by the goddess. Although the goddess Aizhuma betrayed by the evil dragon is wounded, she still fights with it. With the help of the god of fire, Parsimone, the evil dragon finally fell under the goddess’ holy sword, and the goddess Aizhuoma had to return to the realm of the gods because of her injuries┉┉"

Tiya has always liked this story. Every time she talked about the battle between the goddess and the evil dragon, Tiya was very focused. It was because she was too focused on telling the story that the servant girl did not notice the purple-haired man in front of her. I was surprised.
