Chapter 342

Ruolin continued: "the land is fertile and the rain is abundant. It's hot and sunny. What's more, the island is rich in spices, gems and gold! They also raised a strange giant creature called elephant! The animal is huge, far more powerful than the lion and tiger! I saw Nanyang people domesticate this kind of elephant, then incorporate it into the army, and use it in the war. If they concentrate 100 heads to charge... The power is really indescribable! I'm afraid even the most powerful cavalry can't resist the front! If we talk about the weakness, the only thing is that the speed is slower, and the quantity can not be popularized on a large scale. And... It's so far away that I can't get it back. This time I brought four people, four males and four females. Unfortunately, the sea is not acclimatized. Now only one male and three females are alive. "

Ruolin stood up, went to her desk, pointed to the island and said, "this island is called Brahman by the local Nanyang people. In the middle of the island is a place they call holy mountain. It is said that every few hundred years, the holy mountain will emit flames. On weekdays, there is still a faint roar. Once there is a movement, the earth around the holy mountain will vibrate, birds and animals will be frightened, and they will not stand steadily. "

Du Wei nodded, but said in his heart, what a holy mountain is not a volcano. As for domesticating elephants... War elephants, although I have never seen them in my previous life, I have at least played "the age of Empires".

"On the island of Brahman, it can be said that it is the most densely populated place in the whole Southern Ocean. In fact, according to my understanding, the whole Nanyang civilization almost originated from here. Moreover, in recent years, the empire made frequent expeditions to the South Ocean. As a result, the sea tribes near Roland moved southward, the population of Brahman became more and more. I heard that the holy mountain in the middle of Brahman island is the Holy Land in the hearts of these peoples. This has something to do with the legends of their gods. "

At this point, Dewey is up. After all, the message from the footplate of Xiao lefick was too shocking.

"Speaking of the gods, Nanyang people's civilization is very different from ours. Roughly speaking, their religious pedigree is like this: in the earliest time, it was said that there was a temple on the mountain in the middle of Brahman island. According to the legend of the local Nanyang aborigines, in ancient times, there were gods living in that temple! The gods have supernatural powers. Living in the temple on the mountain, but also bless the people on the land. Whether it's a tsunami or a hurricane, or a disease, the gods in the temple will help mankind out. even to the extent that. I checked the legends of Nanyang people and found that they recorded these details very carefully. According to their legend, the gods. They call them the body of the earth, the God in charge of wind, the God in charge of fire, the God in charge of thunder and lightning, etc.. In their belief, each God is divided according to his or her duties. Because of your entrustment, I paid close attention to these legends, and finally found the source and all the legends. It all comes from the temple on that mountain. So... "

Dewey nodded, looking forward: "so you want to go up the mountain to see that temple?"

"I think so. But the temple is invisible. " Ruolin said with a bitter smile, "because the temple no longer exists."

"No?"

Ruolin nodded: "it doesn't exist. According to local legend, in ancient times, it is said that people were too greedy for the protection of the gods, which angered the gods. Disaster came to punish people. Let that holy mountain spurt out fire! And that time, the gods no longer helped humans. In the flame of the holy mountain, according to legend, dozens of miles have turned into scorched earth, and the legendary temple on the mountain has been completely destroyed in the fire eruption. Therefore, the people in Nanyang are afraid that the gods have abandoned them and left them. "

Speaking of this, Ruolin said with a bitter smile: "I'm not reconciled in my heart, so I decided to go to the holy mountain to have a look. The local people regard the holy mountain as the absolute holy land. No one is allowed to climb the holy mountain, and even there are many warriors guarding the mountain. But I still slipped up quietly. As a result, there was no temple on the mountain. Originally, I even doubted whether the temple really existed... After all, even if there were gods in the world, it was impossible to live in the world. However, various local legends say that there are noses and eyes, and even though different tribes believe in different gods, the descriptions of the temple and the mysterious "Father God" are exactly the same. "

Dewey thought carefully, "tell me about the father."

"Yes, my Lord!" Ruolin said slowly: "if that temple is the source of all Nanyang myths and legends, then the Father God is the origin of all this. According to legend, the Father God is the patron saint of the Nanyang people. He built a temple on the peak of Brahman island. Later, all kinds of temples, such as fire god, water god, Thunder God, rain god, wind god, were created by him. Moreover, since ancient times when the sacred mountain erupted flames and the gods punished human beings, the Father God and all the gods have disappeared. However, there is still a legend in Nanyang, that is, the gate of gods has returned to heaven. However, the father's benevolence did not completely abandon his people, leaving behind a pulse, which is the so-called father's pulse, that is, the pulse of path Fick. All of them engraved tattoos on the sole of their feet, indicating that they were walking in the world on behalf of the father. In short, the myths and legends of the Nanyang people are very messy, especially between different gods. It seems that there are still contradictions between different gods. If there is nothing to do, they will fight back and forth and make a mess. I carefully sorted out the earliest myths and legends, which mainly talked about the various miracles of the Father God, but when I got to the back, it seemed that the Father God did not appear, and myths rarely mentioned. I only talked about the legends of the new gods later. "

After hearing this, Dewey hung his head and thought about it. Then he suddenly grabbed a piece of paper and drew on it for a while.

A moment later. He suddenly asked, "there are so many legends about Nanyang people. Does it say that the so-called Father God built the temple in the temple? How many years ago was the so-called "ancient times"? A thousand years? Ten thousand years? "

This can make Ruolin difficult to deal with. The female Knight looks sad: "my Lord, I have checked this question carefully. however. It's a pity that the culture of these Nanyang people is far behind that of mainland Loran, and they are even ignorant. Although the tribes on Brahman island are much more advanced and civilized than those Tu people in the north near our empire. But on the whole, most of them are still in a semi barbaric state. What makes me most depressed is that there is no unified calendar in Nanyang At this point, Ruolin seemed to be in a dilemma: "there are more than 20 big tribes on that island. But each tribe's calculation and record of time are totally different! We Roland mainlanders, used to a day, a month, a year. I got to them. That's not the case at all. Some tribes will show the sun and the moon once, even for one day, but... If it happens to last for several days. The sky is full of dark clouds, and they can't see the sun and moon, so they also think that this "day" is not over! It was not until the sun and moon came out that the day was over. But according to our habits, we don't know how many days have passed! Moreover, some tribes do not have the concept of "heaven" at all. They only calculate "generation". This "generation" is even more vague. They are used to it. The time a tribe's head has been in power can be regarded as a "generation". If the head of a tribe dies and a new head is replaced, it will be a new "generation". But the problem is, people, old age, sickness and death, God knows how long and how short it is. Maybe some patriarchs have a long life. Live to be 70 or 80 years old. They are also regarded as a "generation", and some clan leaders are short-lived. They died in a year or two, and they are a generation. There are many strange methods of calculation like this, which are really strange... Therefore, they are not even clear about the length of time, and I can't judge how many years ago the temple was according to their myths and legends. Some tribes say how many generations have passed... But God knows how many years this "generation" is! "

Dewey couldn't help laughing.

So it's really hard to judge.

However, in his heart, but gradually gave birth to a guess.

"How are you, Dewey? Are you surprised? "

Hum! Is the so-called Father God Aragon?

Or, to put it another way.

Up to now, Nanyang people are still very backward in civilization. Well, I'm afraid they were even more stupid in the era of Aragon a thousand years ago!

After arriving at Nanyang, Aragorn ran to the volcano on Brahman island and built a temple. He was the most powerful man in the mainland. Naturally, he had great powers. It was not surprising that those ignorant Nanyang natives mistook him for a God.

As for the so-called chaotic new gods in the temple, most of the bullshit things like wind god, fire god, rain god and thunder god were trained by Aragon's own disciples!

It's not hard to guess, it's not hard to understand. It's very easy to teach a few magicians of different departments with the ability of Aragon.

What is known by the aborigines as the God of wind, fire, rain and thunder? I'm afraid it's just the magician of wind, fire and water system taught by Aragon!

In this way, the myth of Nanyang can also be explained, and the words of lufeck's sole can also be explained.

As for later... Myths and legends rarely mentioned "Father God", it is estimated that Aragorn left somewhere, or... He died. It's all possible.

After losing the Father God, the apprentices trained by Aragorn were not as powerful as Aragorn. As a result, all of them died in a volcanic eruption. It's not a God who punishes people and abandons them. It's the eruption of the volcano. The magicians in the temple can't resist it. Either they are all dead, or they are scattered... As for being exiled among the people, it makes sense.

Even

Du Wei suddenly felt another movement in his heart. He even thought a little deeper. Why did Aragon go to Nanyang to build a temple? Run and bless the ignorant natives? Duvi can't guess these questions... After all, although he is Aragon, he can't answer these questions himself before the memory of his previous life awakens.

As for... The volcano eruption

Dewey frowned and thought. If there is a group of magicians in the temple, a mere volcanic eruption may not be able to make a group of magicians die. Even... It could be the light goddess, that bitch!

These things can be put into the future to think about.

Du Wei put away the map, and suddenly an idea came into his mind: maybe, if he had a chance, he should go to Nanyang to see the Brahman island?

Then he looked at Ruolin: "that's all for the legend. How much did the United Kingdom pay for ransom to redeem their little king? How many good things have you brought back for me this time? " Speaking of this topic, Ruolin smiles... At this moment, her smile even looks like Dewey. Just like Du Weiping when he was a Yin man, he was so insidious and cunning... "My Lord." Ruolin said with a smile: "this time, I took more than 30 boats with me. Before going to sea, I tried to get more boats. Finally, our fleet reached 80 boats! A year back and forth, we lost three ships on the way because of storms and reefs and some accidents during the voyage. This time I brought back seventy-seven boats! This time I brought 20 ships to the imperial capital, but the army still stayed at the walker port on the southeast coast of the mainland. Moreover, because the Lancang canal was too narrow, all the largest sea going ships could not drive in, and they all stopped at the walker port. Because the harvest this time is too big. I really can't bring it to the imperial capital at one time... "Dewey's heart began to beat violently..." too much harvest? How big is it? "
