The Harvest Temple in Moonlight City is holding a festival to worship the gods. At this time, everyone in the city has the most free time, and many people come to watch the fun.
In addition, a large number of farmers from outside the city entered the city to participate in this celebration.
The Harvest Temple does not use the common flat roof and dome styles of temples, but a towering spire, and triangular elements are used in many places in the temple.
This makes the Harvest Temple look very different from other temples, with a mysterious and exotic feel.
Because the feathered serpent once lived under the ice sheet for a long time, he saw the barbaric tribes in the north, the Witch Kingdom on the wasteland, the Kingdom of Yellow Sand, and also reached the Demon Abyss King City in the endless sand sea, and its temple can also see the fusion
It shows the architectural characteristics of each place.
"call!"
A divine attendant summoned a fire demon and sent it to the altar.
The extraordinary flames surged up and made a crackling sound, announcing the beginning of the celebration.
"Dong dong dong~"
Immediately afterwards.
The sound of drums sounded neatly in the square under the temple, accompanied by the ritual dance of the snake waitress.
The beautiful snake girls twisted their waists and chanted the "Harvest Bible" compiled by believers. The sun shone on their white skin, as if it was reflecting light, making people unable to open their eyes.
.
Several Quetzalcoatl attendants in yellow clothes stood in the square, standing under the flames of the altar fire demon, with solemn expressions.
As the sacrificial dance ended, the divine attendants began to preach their doctrines to the mortals and pray to the gods.
"Kurmis, Lord of the Harvest, Kurmis, the Quetzalcoatl."
"He brought abundant harvests and brand new crops to the world, and brought good news to all people."
"He is a good God, a righteous God, and the protector of mortals. He will redeem the sufferings of mortals."
The feathered serpent has not yet become a myth, but its belief has begun to spread among humans.
The lizard people call it the Lord of Harvest, Quetzalcoatl. They say that the Quetzalcoatl brings a good harvest to the world, so that the world no longer suffers from hunger and saves mortals from disasters.
As long as you believe in him, you can become lucky and happy, stay away from all suffering, and no longer suffer.
I have to say that this set of rhetoric is very inflammatory.
This is the first time for many people in the city to know about the Harvest Temple, but many people came here because of the teachings of the Harvest Temple taught by the apprentices who were walking around the streets.
Let’s take a look at what this god who can bring luck and drive away suffering is like.
"The Quetzalcoatl God Kurmis, I have heard of this name. Years ago, I remember that a being with this name came to the Moonlight Province a long time ago and summoned many flying serpents with wings.
Solved the green vine disaster." Many years later, some people still remember Kurmis's name.
"The servants of the gods said that those big snakes with wings are the incarnation of Quetzalcoatl walking in the world." With the promotion of the Harvest Temple, more people began to recall the past.
"It is said that even the brown bulb vine was made by this god. He gave it to King Osis in the hope that King Osis could plant it throughout the kingdom." Someone told a secret that the locals didn't know much about.
"Really?" Until now, most people in Moonlight City only know that King Ossis asked them to plant the brown vine. As for where the brown vine came from, no one knows.
"Then he is really what those god servants said, he is a great god!" When mentioning the brown bulb vine, everyone's expressions became different.
Mortals see the greatness of a god not by how strong the god is, but by what you bring to them, making them truly feel your presence.
But more poor people and farmers in ragged clothes gathered under the temple.
They looked longingly at the bags piled up on one side of the temple square.
These people are farmers who come from various villages and towns outside the city, and they are workshop workers who come from slums of all sizes, and they do not come here because of gratitude or belief.
It's because they heard that the Harvest Temple will distribute food and seeds during the celebration.
That rebellion resulted in the death of countless people throughout the Moonlight Province. Although the rebellion has been subsided, the problem is not completely over yet.
A large number of people died, fields missed the cultivation season, grain stores were plundered, and villages and houses were burned down.
All of this has created a large number of homeless people and thousands of hungry refugees.
The shadows of these people can be seen both inside and outside the city.
The ritual dance is over.
Everyone rushed forward, looking rather impatient.
Anu, the governor of Moonlight Province, also put on the yellow robe of the God's Attendant and stood in the center of the crowd.
Anu personally distributed food, and it could be seen that many people in the crowd were afraid of the lizard men and their ferocious faces.
But I had to go forward for food, but I just lowered my head and didn't dare to look at the lizard people.
While handing out bags containing grain, Anu shouted the name of Kurmis, and those who received the bags immediately learned to repeat it.
“Thank you Lord of the Harvest!”
“Thank you Lord of the Harvest!”
"Thank Quetzalcoatl!"
"Thank Quetzalcoatl!"
People come and go, and the place is crowded.
A skinny man with dry hair took the bag and almost fell to the ground because it was too heavy. Anu immediately helped him.
The other party expressed his gratitude in horror, and Anu asked in passing.
"You must have come from outside the city, right?"
"How's it going? Has the food replanted this year been planted?"
The other party raised his head, looked at the lizard man's bright and human eyes, finally put away his fear, and couldn't help but say something.
"The first two years were fine. I lived a good life."
"Many people have died this year. My son was also killed, my home was burned down, and the land was laid waste."
"There's not a single living person left in the village. It's too late to replant. I will starve to death by the time the food comes out."
Anu asked: "What should we do?"
The other party said: "So I took my little daughter and rushed towards the city to find some work in the city. On the way, a group of people came together towards here."
"On the way, I woke up early and found that my little daughter was also dead."
As he spoke, the man began to cry and wipe his tears, and then burst into tears.
"I don't know if he died of hunger or because he froze to death at night!"
"I wanted to bury her, but the people who fled together said...said..."
"He said he would turn into a ghoul."
At this point, he couldn't hold back his tears. After a long time, he sobbed and said: "I don't want my child to be desecrated after death. He cannot return to the kingdom of God and can only burn it."
He then talked about the situation after arriving in the city: "The wages in the city are too little and it is hard to find a job. They all said that there are enough people and they don't want me."
"The price of food has also increased dramatically, and I can't survive at all!"
"Master Divine Attendant, if you hadn't sent me some food, I really don't know how I would have survived."
Anu's hands were shaking after hearing this, and he didn't know what to say for a long time.
Finally, he told the man: "Food transferred from other provinces will arrive soon, the price of food will definitely come down, and relief places will be set up outside the city by then."
"After this period of time, everything will be fine."
The man didn't know yet that the lizardman divine attendant in front of him was the governor of Moonlight Province, because lizardmen all looked similar to them: "Master divine attendant!"
"What the Lord of Harvest said is that believing in Him can eliminate all suffering and obtain salvation. Is it true?"
There is hope in the eyes of men. For these people who are in suffering, what they mention most is the salvation of gods.
Anu opened his mouth and his pupils changed.
If it were before, he would definitely say of course, but at this moment he couldn't say it.
"We will work hard."
The man didn't understand what the relationship between the God's promise and the God's servant in front of him said that they would work hard.
But in the end, he still knelt on the ground and kowtowed, thanking Anu, the temple and the Lord of Harvest.
Then he took the bag and disappeared into the crowd.
He is not a special case, he is just an ordinary member of the crowd, a symbol of countless mortals struggling in suffering.
Anu watched the man go away, feeling very uncomfortable as he distributed all the food, and then ordered people to mobilize some more from the Governor's Mansion.
And he himself entered the temple.
He saw the statue of Kormis, looked at the mural of the feathered snake that came to the world with a brown bulb in its mouth, and suddenly remembered the conversation he had with his master Kormis.
Anu, a young snake-man, held a book and asked Kurmis a question.
"Lord Kormis, what kind of world are you talking about?"
"That perfect world."
Kurmis told him, with hope and pride in her eyes.
"Most of the suffering in the world comes from insufficient food. All conflicts are caused by the lack of food and resources."
"Just let the brown bulb spread to the whole world and find more crops."
"When everyone can have enough to eat, the entire world will undergo earth-shaking changes, and the root causes of disputes will disappear."
"They will be able to develop a variety of technologies, they will have access to more abundant supplies, and they will be able to produce more things to meet everyone's needs."
Kurmis was sitting in the hall, and Anu, who raised his head in high spirits, said.
"Because of the brown bulb vine, there will be no hunger and no fights in the future."
"Because everyone can have enough to eat, everyone can do what they want to do, and everyone can realize their ideals."
"In time, everyone in the world will be the same as the nobles they once were."
Kurmis patted Anu on the shoulder and said seriously.
"Just like the Ancients who once were!"
"Just like those gods."
Kurmis knew some of the secrets of the Ancient Ones. He had also seen demons use miraculous rituals, and the power was something he would never forget.
And the moment he heard Kurmis say these words, the sight of Kurmis in Anu's eyes was infinitely higher.
At this moment, he is the eternal god in Anu's eyes.
But Anu was a little shaken now. He looked at the statue and asked.
"Lord Kormis."
"Does the world you talk about really exist?"
At this time, the statue seemed to speak and said to him: "Do you long for such a world?"
Anu's somewhat nervous mood relaxed a lot. He lowered his head and laughed at himself for his lack of determination.
"Of course I'm eager."
He raised his head and looked at the statue to answer.
"So I want to see if the future you mentioned will come."
"Perhaps, it still needs someone to push it forward."
"Lord Kormis, you can do it, and so can I."
The idol seemed to smile in Anu's eyes, and Anu also smiled.
——
After leaving the Harvest Temple, Anu came to the office hall of the Governor's Mansion.
Here he met several Aiweier people from the New World, and these Aiweier people did not come empty-handed. They also brought several carts of gifts, which contained various things, even living animals.
Anu came to the carriages pulled by the sail beasts and looked at the gifts inside. Most of them he had never seen or even heard of.
The other party opened a box, and Anu saw a white feather.
He couldn't help but ask: "What is this?"
The other party replied: "This is a feather that the sky angel occasionally drops. I cherish it very much."
Anu's eyes widened: "What?"
"A sky angel's feather?"
Anu immediately asked: "Can I pick it up and take a look?"
The other party immediately bent down and said, "Of course, this is originally a gift for you, the Governor."
Anu picked up the feathers of the Sky Angel. He had never even seen a Winged Man, let alone a Sky Angel.
He held the feathers of the angel in the sky and seemed to be able to imagine the beautiful shadow in the legend in his mind.
Anuyi put it down reluctantly: "This is too precious."
These Aiwel people seem to know about Anu, and even know what Anu would like. Their gifts can also be said to be carefully selected.
Anu looked at a piece of meat placed in an ice bucket. There was also the sealing technique of the witch spirit on the ice bucket.
He asked the other person: "What is this?"
The other party replied: "This is the meat of a fish and dragon, a giant beast deep in the sea."
"This is the meat under its ribs, and it is also the most delicious meat. Only the royal families in the Ewell Peninsula are entitled to enjoy it."
"We were lucky enough to kill one when we passed by the edge of the Sea of Storms. We took the meat and gave it to the most noble person."
"You are the governor, the spokesperson of Quetzalcoatl, a powerful demon knight, and of course the most noble person in our eyes."
Anu then looked down, and they also brought some specimens of beasts, plants, and even insects that were not found on the giant island of Ruh.
The other party complimented: "I heard that you have been collecting some rare and exotic animals that I have never seen before, and I happen to have some here."
Anu saw an egg: "What is this?"
The other party said: "This is the egg of an anole, a lizard that lives on jungle trees. It can change the color of its body. It is very precious."
Anu can be sure that there is no such lizard on the giant island of Ruh.
He saw another thing, a strange thing placed in a bucket, which looked like a long "stone horn": "This is it?"
The other party picked it up and said: "This is not a stone, but the shell of a kind of insect that lived in the sea a long time ago. It should not be found now. Look at its long horns, which look like weapons."
Anu took it with his hand and found a slimy-looking bug with two tentacles in the bucket. He didn't know if it had been in the bucket a long time ago or if it had fallen in later.
If you look closely, it looks a bit like a snail from later generations.
Next, the other party presented some special specimens, some very precious and beautiful insects, all sealed in amber, just like gems.
Among them are pure golden beetles and spiders with backs that look like human faces.
Amber is rare on the East-West Ruhe Island, but it is more common in the New World. The Aiweier people regard it as a kind of rare gemstone.
After reading it, Anu said: "Thank you very much for your thoughtfulness, but I can't just accept it!"
"What do you want?"
Several Aiweier people looked at each other, and then one of them stood up and said directly.
"We want the planting method and seedlings of brown bulb vine. I heard that Quetzalcoatl is the god who makes brown bulb vine. The lizard people have the best seedlings and the best planting classics."
"So we came to ask for your help and want to exchange these with you."
"Your Majesty the Governor."
"When we saw the brown bulb vine in Suinhall, we were stunned. We had never seen anything like it."
"This land is indeed the origin of the gods, and there are countless miracles here."
"Please let us take them back!"
Anu understood the other party's intention and nodded after thinking about it for a while.
"No problem, I can plant seedlings for you, and I can also give you the classics we compiled."
Several Aiweier people were overjoyed and immediately expressed their gratitude.
"Your generosity and kindness will forever be sung on the Irwell Peninsula."
Anu said: "Everything is a gift from the Lord of Life and a favor from Quetzalcoatl."
The other party nodded hurriedly: "Thank God for the gift!"
Only then did Anu accept the gift from the other party with peace of mind, and had the gift taken back to the warehouse of the Governor's Mansion at the back, and sorted for processing.
The blood of these strange species can be collected and even combined with magic potions to create new magical beasts, which is indeed what he needs next.
Especially the kind of lizard that can change colors gave Anu many ideas.
Anu accepted the gift and invited the other party into the Governor's Mansion.
He still has many things he wants to ask the other party.
Questions about the new world.
After sitting down in the hall, Anu asked: "Are you all from the ancient Kingdom of Ewel?"
But the other party told Anu: "There is no longer the Kingdom of Ewel, I come from the Kingdom of Forest Witch."
"The descendants of King Sidi ended their royal power in an internal fight. Now there are hundreds of countries, large and small, on the Ewell Peninsula, and the Green Forest Witch Kingdom is one of them."
Anu knew the story of King Sidi and knew that it was this king who led Aiweier to leave the giant island of Ruhe and go to the new world: "What does the new world look like and how big is it?"
The other party replied: "I don't know either."
Anu was very confused: "Why?"
The other party told Anu: "We don't know how big the new world is, because the place we live in is just a peninsula."
The other party used his hands to explain to Anu how big the new world was: "The Ewell Peninsula is very vast. Even if hundreds of countries, large and small, are crammed into it, it still looks very desolate."
"Across distant lands, you can see boundless deserts and endless deserts."
"The desert spans thousands of miles. It is said that it was formed because the sun set there a long time ago. The ancient Aiweier people named it the Fall of the Sun."
Anu asked again: "Where is the Winged Man?"
The other party said that he had only heard of the Winged People in stories and classics, but there were indeed many traces of the Winged People's life on the Ewell Peninsula, as well as the things they left behind.
For example, the Sky Angel Feather they gave to Anu is one of them.
"The Winged People left long ago during the Abyss Demon War. It is said that they flew out of the Sunfall Desert and traveled thousands of miles to the other side. That is a distance that we cannot cross."
"The new world is so big that we never know its full picture or how big it is."
Listening to their descriptions, the lizard man Anu could feel the vastness of the new world.
"According to what you said, the New World is bigger than the giant island of Luhe?"
The other party told Anu: "It really needs to be big!"
"In ancient mythology, the place where the Mother of Life descends is the New World."
"He came to the coast of the Ewell Peninsula, blew the trumpet, and the giant island of Ruh emerged from the sea."
"The Ewell Peninsula should not be much smaller than the Big Island of Ruhe. Of course, we have no way to calculate it. We can only roughly compare it according to the map. It should be at least half the size of the Big Island of Ruhe."
"But the Irwell Peninsula is only a tip of the New World."
The other party used the knowledge and history he knew to describe it to Anu.
"The Ewell Peninsula is surrounded by the sea on three sides. Only the northwest is connected to the main continent, and the place connected is the Fall of the Sun. It is an absolute place of death. No one wants to go deep there."
"After the Abyss Demon War, many people took boats along the islands on the west coast. Most of them were lost or killed in the wind and waves."
"It wasn't until more than a hundred years later that someone finally crossed the West Coast Islands, which was full of monsters and strange winds and waves, and discovered another peninsula connected to the main continent of the New World."
"It was a peninsula almost as big as the Irwell Peninsula. It was later named Wushan Peninsula because there was a huge mountain range on the island."
"There is still no human habitation there. Most of the people living there are some exiled evil witch spirits and depraved people."
"As for further southwest, I have only heard some rumors that I don't know whether they are true or false."
"It is said that someone crossed the peninsula and set off from the other side of the sea to the distance, only to find that the entire ocean was surrounded by land."
"Through the ocean within that strange land, you can still see the boundless vast land and desert at the other end."
"That's all we know."
The Aiweier people from the New World also spread their hands, expressing their helplessness.
"No one knows how big the new world will be, because no one has ever reached its end."
Listening to the other party's description, Anu couldn't imagine how big that world was, and said in great surprise.
"The new world is so vast."
In Suinhor, even a small piece of cultivated land can make people risk their lives, but the other party has endless land to develop. How can this not make Anu think about it.
Anu looked at these Aiweier people and couldn't help but said with envy.
"Such a big world should have countless resources, and you have endless land to explore."
"Why do you want to come back and come to Ruhe Island?"
"And you came as soon as the black storm dissipated. You must have paid a heavy price to get here, right?"
"What makes you so impatient?"
However, the Evel people from the New World looked at Anu with infinite envy, even jealousy.
Hearing what Anu said, he couldn't help but get up.
"Your Majesty the Governor."
"Do you even need to ask?"
"This is where the gods originated."
"You live in the place where the gods originated, so you cannot understand and understand the richness here. This is the sanctuary and paradise that all people living on the Iver Peninsula dream of."
The other party pointed to the sky and said.
"You don't know how barren the Ewell Peninsula is compared to here, and you don't know how terrible the wind, rain and natural disasters on the Ewell Peninsula are."
"The weather here is smooth, the four seasons here seem to be arranged, there are countless mineral deposits here, and there are unimaginable resources here."
"Not to mention."
"There are inexhaustible extraordinary resources here, it can support countless extraordinary people, and it has the inheritance of the gods."
"Because this is the back garden of the Lord of Life, and this is the sanctuary of the giants."
"This is the place where the gods originated, and this land has been blessed by all the gods."
The Aiweier people from the outside world showed expressions of longing and admiration, and spoke to Anu with shocked and confused expressions.
"Sir, do you know?"
"Before arriving here, I had never seen so many powerful people, such a large number of cities and dense populations, and such a prosperous city."
"Props can be excavated directly under the land here. There are crops like brown bulb vine here, and there are various alchemy workshops here."
"There are alchemists, tower keepers, demon knights and other extraordinary professions here, as well as demons, lizards and warcraft!"
“It’s incredible here.”
Anu looked at each other. He did not expect that this continent would be like this in the eyes of these Aiweier people who left the giant island of Ruh.
