Five hundred and twentieth chapters temple of the gods
The implication is that there is only one Poseidon in the ocean, and the other ocean gods are all different forms of the same god. The Poseidon is deliberately raised to the level of the old Velen gods like the Lord of the Sky.
For this almost sacrilegious act by the Kingdom of England, various countries have different reactions, some are angry, some protest, some approve, etc., but no matter what the reaction is, they can't stop the construction of the temple.
After so many years, it no longer matters how different countries felt about the Pantheon. Even countries that originally resisted the Pantheon secretly began to write their own divine genealogies according to their mainstream beliefs. For ordinary people, the Pantheon is
It is just a sight worth visiting. As for the believers, it is even more weird. On the contrary, they will be proud that the gods they believe in can live in the pantheon of gods.
For Leo, the temples are a database that can help him further improve the data on the gods in the world of Velen.
At that time, the Inge royal family spared no effort to collect a large amount of data on gods in order to build a perfect pantheon of gods. Although there was no clear statistical data, the religious research community believed that the pantheon of gods was the place with the most complete data on gods outside of the Orthodox Church.
Moreover, due to some conceptual and legal reasons, the Orthodox Church will destroy some ancient gods' information that has disappeared, and only retain the information about the true gods that still exist, and those folklore gods whose existence is doubtful are not even qualified to be recorded by the Orthodox Church.
Therefore, the information on this aspect of the Orthodox Church is not as detailed as that of the Pantheon.
Just like the unclean one that Leo sees now, this god is an ancient god. He was first considered to be the source of the plague after the war. He is a true god recorded by the Orthodox Church. However, he also disappeared and was
The Orthodox Church destroyed all records.
However, the belief in the unclean did not disappear. Instead, it changed direction and became a folklore belief. The original symbol of plague on the battlefield has now become a toilet and the guardian of the toilet. This belief has not been recognized by the Orthodox Church.
Acknowledging it, the unclean one who was originally the true God has now become the evil god of the underground church.
Now all the information about this unclean person has been engraved on the wall at the entrance of his shrine, but it is obvious that the British royal family does not care much about this toilet patron saint, and the compiled information has not been carefully reviewed, and
It's a mix of official information and legendary information, all engraved on the wall.
Because it has not been carefully organized, there are many contradictions in the content, which will cause a lot of trouble to those readers. However, for Leo, this kind of original information without subjective modification is more suitable for supplements.
his database.
However, these written information are not the most useful to Leo. What is really useful to Leo's database are the reliefs and statues sculpted by the sculptors invited by the British royal family based on written records.
Compared with the neglect of written materials, the Inge royal family attaches great importance to the statues of gods. According to statistics, during the period of building the temples, the Inge royal family used a total of more than 700 sculptors and 4,000 sculptors.
Many stonemasons destroyed tens of thousands of statues due to dissatisfaction, which is twice the total number of discarded statues in other places in the seminary. These destroyed stone statues were used to fill the sea to form the largest statue in Velen.
The man-made bays Two Moon Bay and Two Moon City.
The royal family of England's extravagant construction of Dulin Theological Seminary, or the Temple of Gods, has led many people to wonder where this almost astronomical amount of construction funds came from. After all, when Dulin Theological Seminary was built, the royal family of England was not
In its heyday, it stands to reason that there should not be such a huge amount of funds.
And more people are wondering why the British royal family did this?
Because it is not difficult for anyone with a little bit of wisdom to imagine that if the royal family used the huge funds to build Dulin Theological College and the Pantheon for other things, such as domestic political activities, recruiting more royal guards, etc., maybe the royal family would have been
It has regained its rights, but the royal family did not do that. Instead, the builders looked extremely luxurious, but in fact they did not play a big role in improving the status and power of the royal family. It really makes people wonder what the Inge royal family is like.
considerate.
However, no matter how many people think that the royal family's approach is stupid, for ordinary people, the royal family's approach is very popular, because everyone knows that the royal family really used the funds to build the seminary to regain their power, so the conflict with Congress
It will inevitably become increasingly fierce and even trigger a civil war. In that case, the Kingdom of England will not be able to advance its maritime power and its position as maritime hegemon will not be guaranteed.
As for architects, sculptors and other artists, without the unlimited and huge investment of the British royal family, they would not have been able to leave such perfect and numerous exquisite arts, and the statues of gods in the pantheon are definitely among the best.
Excellent product.
Whether it is the true god recognized by the Orthodox Church or the popular legendary gods among the people, they all have a common characteristic, that is, they have more than one image. Some of these images are very normal, either humans, animals, or some anthropomorphic images.
A state of climate, such as the Ice Lady.
Under normal circumstances, most churches will adopt an image that is most consistent with believers' cognition. For example, the statue of the Lord of the Sky is a huge eagle, but the temples do not do this. There are not only the most well-known statues of gods and gods.
, there are also incarnations of words that appear only in church stories.
In addition to the main statue in the shrine, there are also many statues of the legendary incarnation of this god on the walls around the shrine. Their exquisiteness is no worse than the main statue, and some are even more exquisite and more artistic.
After all, the main statues of other gods almost already have prototypes, and even if they are modified, they cannot be changed much. On the contrary, the other incarnations of the statues need to be imagined by the sculptor, so the sculptured effect will be better.
However, Leo was interested in these incarnations of the gods, because in these incarnations of the gods, Leo found many very familiar forms.
"Moyaka people, Digaga people..." After visiting a temple, Leo began to recall the familiar forms he had seen before. Without exception, these familiar forms were all famous aliens in the universe.
Race.
Although some characteristics of some idols are slightly different from those of these alien races, it is only a slight difference in characteristics. Most of the other characteristics are exactly the same as those of these alien races. If only one of them is like this, it can be said that
It's a coincidence, but a dozen incarnations of gods are like this, which makes Leo have to make some associations.
However, Leo did not come to a conclusion immediately, but set off to the second temple to continue his trip to the temples.
Although the fifteen temples are all the same size, the number of statues placed here varies. Some temples have a very large number of statues. For example, the first temple Leo entered has more than 80 statues of gods.
And some are very few in number, with only five or six statues of gods, such as the Black Forest God System.
The Black Forest pantheon is the only one in the entire pantheon of pantheons that divides the genealogy of gods not by priesthood but by region, except for the Poseidon genealogy subjectively fabricated by the royal family.
In the temple belonging to the Black Forest, Leo did not see the statue of the golden giant deer. It seems that the world of Velen did not know that the golden giant deer existed. Otherwise, according to the practice of the British royal family, they would definitely carve a statue of the golden giant deer.
.
In addition, in this temple, Leo naturally also saw the statue of his old friend the Black Forest White Deer. What is interesting is that judging from the location, the Black Forest White Deer has become the main god of the Black Forest lineage. Not only is the shrine larger than the other Black Forest
The forest gods are much larger, and even the statues are more exquisite. The gods are not made of stones from the original mountain, but are specially carved from stones transported from other places.
Leo has only seen the special treatment of the White Deer statue in several previous temples on the statues of a few still active gods, such as the Lord of the Sky. It is obvious that the Ying royal family had some special treatment when building this shrine.
An extremely special emotion, which also reminded Leo of Flower Valley and Blue Palace in Kevin Town.
Later, after Leo saw the text description on the White Deer Shrine, he discovered that the relationship between White Deer and the Ying royal family was extraordinary.
Back then, when the British royal family led their subjects to escape from the French Empire, they were intercepted by the Knights of the French Empire and were forced to flee into the Black Forest. They got lost in the Black Forest and encountered the forest.
There was an attack by some unknown creatures inside.
When they were about to encounter disaster, they met the White Deer. The White Deer not only brought them to a safe shelter so that they could be fully repaired, but also led them out of the Black Forest.
It helped them avoid the pursuit of the French Empire. It can be said that without the White Deer, there would be no Kingdom of England.
Therefore, even though the current state religion of the Kingdom of Inge is the Church of Poseidon, the belief in the White Deer of the Black Forest has not been cut off. There is always a garden temple belonging to the White Deer in the royal palace, and every generation of the descendants of the Inge royal family will
The purest girl is selected to serve as the priest of the temple, and the royal wedding will also be held in the White Deer Temple. In terms of intimacy, the White Deer is even above the Poseidon.
However, the relationship between the royal family and the White Deer of the Black Forest was not deliberately publicized. Even if someone knew about it from the pantheon of gods, they would just regard the royal family as bragging, just like the royal family has always regarded themselves as descendants of Poseidon and favored ones. As for why
To be related to the gods of the Black Forest, some people think it may be related to the kingdom's future counterattack on the Velen Continent. First, it is related to the Black Forest, which occupies most of the Velen Continent, and it has to have a name that can legitimately dominate the Velen Continent.
