Chapter 157: Gods on Earth(1/2)
There are about twenty people in this group.
The leader is a man and a woman. They are united together, as if they are always on guard against possible attacks everywhere.
When Xu Nan met them, these people were getting water.
There are free water withdrawal points in the supply village, but most people will go to the hotel to have a drink and then buy some delicious food. Unless the extremely poor travelers endure the cold winter and take away some cold water that has not yet frozen.
These people don't look so poor - because if they are poor, their faces and figure will at least reflect a little.
But they still just took some cold water and were ready to evacuate.
There were many people watching them, but they turned a blind eye.
From entering the village to taking water and leaving people, these people seemed to be out of place in this environment throughout the process.
Their mounts are very strong ponies, which do not run fast and may not be so useful in the southern plains; but in the snow in the north, this cold-resistant ponies are almost the best mounts.
They are very disciplined, but they are not like the army. They support each other and come and go in a hurry.
Xu Nan glanced at him a little and wrote down the insignia on their braids.
Then check it out casually.
Unexpectedly, this time, the internal database actually responded.
[Dark Moon Druid: The shapeshifter who serves the Dark Moon Spirit, has some elves and human bloodlines, but is out of place with most human elves...]
"Druid?"
"In this cold winter, can we still meet druids? And we are not walking alone, we are a group?"
Xu Nan was a little curious. It was okay anyway, so he read it carefully.
The Dark Moon Druid is an alternative to the Druid group.
What they worship is not nature and balance, but a god named Dark Moon Son!
The Dark Moon Son is quite amazing. If the internal database is true, then this guy is a rare earthly god in the main material world!
Legend has it that when the ancient gods fell on a large scale, some ancient gods' bodies fell into the mortal world, forming some strange visions. Many rule gods took the opportunity to rise, and many people took advantage of the situation to rob the remains of the ancient gods.
Many years later, most of the remains of ancient gods were taken away, and the rest fell into the boundless astral realm under the influence of natural gravity.
But an unknown ancient god's body fell into a beautiful forest. The forest was full of spiritual energy and was the residence of a group of isolated elves. Facing the ancient god's body, the elves thought it was destiny, so they put this part of the body into the well of Wanhua that was filled with the power of life.
At that time, the ancient gods believed in by these elves seemed to have fallen, so they were frightened day and night.
Gradually, someone began to pray to the ancient god's body in the well of Wanhua.
A wonderful thing happened. Under the contact of the Well of Wanhua, the elves had a subtle connection with the body of the ancient god. They felt a new force in the body of the ancient god.
The new power was extremely vigorous, and finally broke out into a butterfly under the protection of the elves.
A brand new god was born, and that was the son of Dark Moon.
It has the divine power of ancient gods, the faith of elves, and the necessities of all gods, but it lacks divine character.
Originally, in ancient times, the Son of Dark Moon could slowly nurture the divine nature; but after the Age of the God of Law, the divine nature was occupied. With the strength of the Son of Dark Moon, he actually lost the opportunity to return to the divine kingdom in heaven.
Since you can't reach the sky, you can only stay in the main material world. The Dark Moon Son lived here, and the forest close to the First Mountain Range is also called the Dark Moon Forest.
The Dark Moon Son's realm is somewhat complex, and it seems to include: darkness, moon, and all things grow and change.
It also gave divine power very special, and gradually formed a brand new profession: the Dark Moon Druid.
Later, some changes occurred in the Dark Moon Forest, almost all the elves were extinct, and the Dark Moon Druids were very rare. People do not know where the Dark Moon Son went, but occasionally the Dark Moon Druids' walking traces can be seen on the northern continent.
Some people speculate that the Son of Dark Moon and other powerful legends lived in seclusion in the First Mountain Range.
It is secretly accumulating its own strength and launching another attack on the kingdom of gods in the heavens.
As for the Dark Moon Forest.
This forest has become a forbidden zone for the living. Hundreds of years ago, a terrifying dragon occupied this place - the infamous nightmare dragon controls its minions and turns the once wonderful paradise into a hell on earth.
After the destruction of several small countries near the Dark Moon Forest, no one dared to provoke the suspected ancient-level dragon.
...
A god on earth? Such a rare existence?
The first mountain range is really hidden and lying on the tiger, a god in trouble, a legend of seclusion... Everyone likes to drill into it.
Xu Nan calmed down.
The direction where the group of Dark Moon Druids went just now seemed to be a violent sea.
There is almost no grass growing here in the Furious Sea, and there is nothing worth exploring. Where are they doing?
Encountering a rare race is naturally just a small episode.
Although Xu Nan was curious and had the desire to make friends, since he didn't have the chance, let's forget it.
After the supply was replenished, the convoy continued to set off.
The next itinerary was much faster. It took only a day and a half to arrive at Xueyuan City at dusk.
Nothing happened along the way, and Quelras was obviously relieved.
The city walls of Xueyuan City are tall and majestic, and are a rare road entering the Bingfeng Ling in the south. Hanshan Pass is located here.
After the group entered the city, they were scattered and then they would complete the assembly at the agreed hotel.
Xu Nan took Qin Lele into the city first.
He was not afraid that Quelras would run away, because the old man really wanted to run away and no one could stop him.
“It’s so lively.”
Walking on both sides of the main road, the street lights on both sides are gone, the streets are flowing endlessly, and people are clamoring.
In the small shop with a rusty shield as a plaque, two or three tall men were bargaining with the shop owner, and from time to time, a crisp sound of ironclads could be heard from behind.
This is a custom store for boutique weapons.
Not far away, a few girls were wearing thick cotton coats together. They held a few strings of charred copper candies in their hands, eating while walking, and talking about the circus that had just ended.
A father was wiping his young daughter's nose; two old men supported each other for a walk; the naughty boy ran by quickly, hit the waist of a middle-aged man, was picked up and scolded, and ran away in disappointment...
This situation.
No wonder Qin Lele couldn't help but sigh softly.
Xu Nan was also a little touched.
I haven't encountered such a lively place in a long time.
Although there are many people in Anonymous City, compared with the area of the Dengyun Ship, it is really a big deal.
Not to mention Bingfengling, even among the three major fortresses, it looks like a population is insufficient.
It was not until Xueyuan City that it was a real northern city.
The city's business and trade are very prosperous. People walk on the streets with smiles and happiness.
This kind of atmosphere is really rare in the Prosperous world.
This made Xu Nan and Qin Lele have the illusion of returning to the earth.
They saw some people from the Blue Craftsman, who seemed to be playing the role of volunteers and working hard to maintain order in the city. Some young people from the Blue Craftsman were spreading teachings, and more people were very consciously cleaning and other things.
The Blue Clan Cult here is indeed very powerful. Young people talk to each other about the latest preaching meeting. They seem to be proud of joining the Blue Clan Cult, and real pastors often receive greater respect.
Their style is indeed very radical, but their methods are very gentle, which is beyond Xu Nan's expectations.
These people seem to be not so simple fanatical believers.
They all looked quite rational, but for some reason, they just tried very hard to promote some nonsense stories. Xu Nan could confirm that these were all some Kutling boys.
There are girls, but relatively few.
Faced with the enthusiastic preaching, Xu Nan and Qin Lele both politely refused and left quickly.
The young people did nothing to them, but just persuaded them very enthusiastically and sincerely, and it usually took a long time to leave.
Xu Nan encountered at least three waves of such young people along the way.
"It's so annoying... This doctrine that is obviously a lie, why can it make them so sure?"
"These young people don't look fools, but they look very smart. I heard that when the Ice and Snow Goddess Church was spreading doctrine in this area, they were crazily resisted by these people. They should be the main force against the church..."
"Why did you change the story and just believe in the religion?"
Xu Nan couldn't figure it out.
Qin Lele also thought it was very problematic, but her focus was on Geralt, which was completed by the Blood Orange task, so she was just a little surprised by the abnormality of the Blue Clothes Sect.
The two soon arrived at the agreed hotel.
Quelras arrived earlier than them. After explaining some things, he left little Jasmine and Geralt in the hotel to be taken care of by Grey. He left in a hurry, and was said to have to prepare some things.
This is normal. According to Quelras' plan, they will directly open the Frost Winter Treasure tomorrow.
Such an important thing is too hasty, and there will definitely be some mistakes, and you must be fully prepared.
To be continued...
