Throne of Magical Arcana

Chapter 470 "Theological Debate"

The Solna River flows quietly, gestating a third of the souls of the Eldo Peninsula, forming many river valleys. Among them, there are several city-states in the Solna Valley called by the river.Relying on abundant water and fertile land, they have become the prosperous place after the city of Belitan.

Outside the newly built "Lord of War" shrine in Husum is a wide square. A half-height platform has been erected in front, surrounded by people wearing linen robes. They spontaneously gather to support the gods of their respective beliefs, and Bronze breastplate Angonoma empire soldiers lazily guarded outside, ignoring a small number of faith disputes, and seemed to wish these pagans to kill themselves and return the world to silence.

On the half-height platform, eight priests of the surviving Baal gods, such as the moon god, the god of thunder and lightning, the god of wind and rain, the earth god, the underworld master, the god of the sun and justice, the god of wisdom, the goddess of love and reproduction, sat on silver On the chair, waiting for the debate to begin.This time, if the power of one ’s own gods cannot be overtaken by other gods and become one of the last three great deities, then he will be driven out of the valley by the Lord of War, losing his stable source of faith, gradually declining, and eventually being settled down. The corresponding gods of the Genoma Divine System are absorbed and differentiated and become an incarnation of the other party or fall completely.

Although every priest knows that this is a means of "master of war" differentiation and domination, in the end, each god will surely enter the Angonoma lineage, but no one dares to resist, this is the end of the betrayer and the loser .And for them, this path is not necessarily hopeless. After integrating the beliefs of the Solna Valley, the power of their own gods will inevitably be greatly improved. Will they be absorbed by the corresponding gods of the Angonoma deity or vice versa? An unknown.

The "prince of war" priest sitting on the golden throne is a beautiful woman with brown hair, wearing a white robes of Angonoma style, the hem slits open to the waist, and from time to time reveals smooth and powerful legs.

She is the second priest of the Temple of War of the Berritan, and also belongs to Nena at the level of high priest.

"Salute to the Lord of the Great War, the Lord of all battles and destruction." The sixteen priests of the eight gods saluted in unison, just like the face of the Lord God Afando.

Nena personally danced a dance of war to please the gods, and then solemnly faced down to announce the beginning of this "theological" debate.

Suddenly, two dark-haired men in washed white robes stood in front of the half-height platform and said loudly to the guard soldiers: "Let us go up, we represent the great god of resurrection, fertility and redemption to attend the theological conference."

"The name of this god has never been seen, and it must belong to a false god, guard, and expel them!" Nob, the priest of the moon god Asin, scolded severely.

The strength of the moon god Asin is in the middle of the remaining eight gods. It is difficult to say whether he can become the last three winners. Therefore, in the face of inexplicable competitors, the old man Nob, who is wearing a complicated and gorgeous robe, will naturally not Have a good look.

As a "follower," Francis used his eyes to signal Lucien to hurry up and speak the prepared words.

Lucien greeted Nob with "no fear": "Our gods of resurrection, abundance and salvation can participate in this meeting is decided by the great warlord, not the moon god, you are in The high priest of Nena issued an order to put the Moon God in front of the Lord of War? "

Francis raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise. This was not the language previously discussed, but as far as the current situation is concerned, the effect seems to be better, which can more effectively provoke the relationship between the Moon God and the Lord of War, and irritate Asing more powerfully. , To achieve a real goal: "This Leviathan is very capable of playing on the spot ..."

"You ..." With such a big hat buttoned down, the lunar high priest, Nobu, was frightened and speechless.

Lucian frightened Norbu and stopped other priests' speeches, so he looked at Nena "sincerely": "Dear high priest, according to the oracle of the Lord of War, it should be all in the Solna Valley Missionary spirits are eligible to participate in this meeting, I wonder if I got it wrong? "

"No." Nena answered coldly and briefly like a female warrior.

Lucien smiled: "Our Lord, the god of resurrection, fertility and redemption also has believers in the Solna Valley, and I beg the high priest to allow us to participate in this theological meeting."

"You have to prove it yourself." One more god has no influence on the Lord's arrangement, but can make the contradiction more sharp and beneficial to the future annexation, so Nina has no objection and said concisely.

Lucien raised her right hand, and Anhuis, who was hiding in the dark, immediately applauded gently, and the former "Flame and Destruction God" secret believers clamored loudly in praise of El, the god of resurrection, fertility, and redemption.

Nob and the priests of other gods glanced at each other, and they thought that this strangely emerging god of resurrection, fertility, and redemption had been secretly preaching in the river valley for a long time.

They did not expect this to be the incarnation of Afando, because before Francis made his opinion, according to the basic understanding of the gods, the importance of the priesthood was more than the name of the god. It meant that there were so many powers and spell-like spells, so even if they changed The name of the god will not change the priesthood, and often after annexing other similar priesthoods, by changing the name of the gods, the "vest" will be used to annex the original faith. Like this "resurrection, the resurrection," "Fruit and salvation" is hardly reminiscent of Afando.

In the eyes of the hatred of the priests and believers, Lucian took Francis to the newly added silver chair and listened to Neina said: "This theological meeting is to debate the power of the gods to distinguish who is. The true God, who is a false god, is more worthy of faith. According to the oracle of the Lord of War, there are all three things, and there are only three final victors. "

With this sentence, no matter how much the final debate is, the winner also abides by the oracle of the Lord of War. In the hearts of believers, it is clear that the Lord of War will be even higher.

"My Lord is the incarnation of the sun, shining on all things and dispersing darkness. Like flames, it not only symbolizes the power of light, but also the power of punishment. At the same time, he is the maker of rules, binding the gods and humans. So there is no doubt above the other seven gods. "The priest of the god of the sun and justice said first, depicting the authority and power of the gods, in order to win the yearning of the believers.

Believers without any education nodded one after another. The sun hung in the sky every day, which made people feel warm and formed a strong contrast with the darkness. Knowing by feeling, it must be very important. Therefore, the "god of the sun and justice" must also be very powerful and believe in him It may be more beneficial.

The Underworld Master saw the change of the believers below, and immediately stood up and said: "There is life and death, and every intelligent life cannot escape the shadow of death. Life is short, but death is eternal, and the great" Underworld Master "controls The world after death is the final destination, which is of course more important than other gods. "

Fear of death is something that everyone naturally has. Thinking of the darkness, coldness, pain and eternal sleep after death, the belief in "Master of the Underworld" seems to be much more useful than the belief in "God of the Sun and Justice". Just listen to the description Know His power and importance.

"The earth carries everything, and the underworld also lives on it. The earth also breeds life and breeds death. Anyone who angers the earth goddess will suffer famine, earth movements, and landslides." The earth goddess priest threatened believers.

Real life seems to be more important than a deep sleep after death, especially many people have experienced famines that are terrible. The terror is like a devastating earthquake in the world, which makes them feel fearful, and they dare not deviate from the goddess of the earth. faith.

"Gods dominate the terrifying lightning and can kill everyone and every god, and anyone who violates him will be struck by lightning."

"... If you abandon the god of wind and rain, He will drop forty-nine days of continuous rain, let the sea back, let the rivers flood, let the mountains be flooded, let the whole earth become a country of flood, let all the souls all destroy."

Gradually, the priests used skillful methods of intimidation to threaten people's beliefs. The priests of the God of Love and Wisdom could hardly contend, and they could only withdraw their arguments with a pale face.

They didn't hold any hope from the beginning, just shouted "Wisdom can make people out of suffering", "Love and reproduction can only continue the group" was ignored.

Francis seemed a bit uncomfortable with such a philosophical speculation, and the stronger the stronger the better, and he controlled the air fluctuations and secretly said to Lucien: "Wait a second whether or not to anger the Lord of War, How to describe the great El is as good as it is, which is what I mean by the cyclical theory of creation, control, destruction, and resurrection. "

"Silver Moon has existed since the beginning of the world, and it will never change, symbolizing the immortality of life. He drove out the darkness, merged the darkness, and brought peace of mind." Nob said with a sweat on his forehead. It seems that the moon god Asin is not far behind other gods. This is the god of fire and destruction.

After the round, all the priests' eyes were focused on Lucien, who wanted to see what power this resurrection, abundance, and redemption god could have.

Lucien sat in the seat of silver, and said in a hurry: "The four seasons alternate and the sun rises and falls, indicating that things are destroyed when they are born, but they can be reborn after destruction. My Lord is the God of Resurrection."

The sun priest's gaze fixed his eyes. Is this turning the sun into a phenomenon, and the resurrection comes down to essence?

"Death is not the end, life will get a different destination. According to what they did in life, they will receive a fair trial. The good and virtuous will get rid of the cycle of life and death, enter the holy house of our Lord, and enjoy eternal happiness. , The neutral, the ordinary, and both good and evil will once again become the spirit of life, fall into the world, be born into babies, and continue to suffer the joy and pain of life, while the evildoers and vile will be punished in the underworld and bear Long suffering. "

"And as long as you believe in my Lord and are willing to repent, you will be redeemed and become the first person."

Such a theory has never been heard by the believers below. Compared to the eternal darkness and cold after death, they are more willing to believe the circular theory described by this young priest, which allows them to see in a painful and tender life. Hope, and, there is a road to salvation!

Francis increasingly feels that Leviathan is talented, and can construct a fairly perfect theological world system based on his deliberately simple circulation theory, secretly saying: "There are talents in this backward heterogeneous space ..."

The face of the priest of "Underworld" suddenly turned black. Such a theory simply described his god as a follower, subordinate, or vassal of the resurrection god.

In the face of such a system, the priest Nobu of the moon god Asin swayed his heart. Anyway, he lost everything, and it would be better to use alien mythology to defeat.

"Your gods are only the gods of a specific duty in the operation of the world, and my lord is the god who created the world and everything, the god of light and creation. In the initial darkness, he split the peace and brought The light, the earth, everything and the creatures are fabricated! "Nob completely ignored Nena's complexion and threw out a certain version of the lunar creation myth.

At this moment, the priests of other gods were stunned. The moon god even claimed to be the creation god. How did he still override him?

Suddenly, the priest of the "God of Thunder" laughed: "The Moon God created the world and everything, but my Lord will destroy everything, destroy the world, and return all to darkness. Only believers who believe in him can obtain eternal tranquility. "

He borrowed Lucien's theory of salvation slightly.

With the beginning, the priests of the "God of the Sun and Justice" are not far behind: "My Lord is the God who maintains the world and delays destruction ..."

"My Lord is the initial darkness, the initial tranquility!" The priest of "Master of the Underworld" sneered at the believers of the Moon God, the Thunder God, the Sun and the Justice God.

"Is this a theological debate? It's a bragging match." Francis rubbed his forehead and sighed secretly at Lucien. "This is not my expertise, you can play it yourself."

Lucien saw that the four great gods had the upper hand and laughed indifferently: "This is just the creation, development and destruction of a small world, just the beginning of a small world, and every 3,000 such small worlds can constitute a medium The world, and three thousand medium worlds can constitute a big world, and the number of big worlds is as much as the gravel in the Solna River. "

"The immeasurable land that contains so many big worlds was created by our Lord."

"My Lord said that if there is a boundless land, there will be a boundless land."

"My Lord said that if there is light, there will be light."

"My lord said that to destroy, he would return to nothingness."

Who is afraid of who?
