"What about King Moses?" Xiao Chen asked.
Even though Zenovia was stripped of her emotions, when she said this, her tone was still full of regret: "He died soon after, also due to illness. It was only one month after Andrew's death. What happened next was like a drama. A riot broke out in the capital. It is said that the cause was that a worker in the royal factory stole the property of a small noble and killed the family of that small noble. The big families at that time wanted the factory to hand over the murderer and sentence him to death. The royal family member in charge of the factory wanted to hand over the person to quell the anger of the nobles. But the workers in the factory disagreed. So civil unrest and riots broke out in the factory. Not only did they hang the noble envoy who came to ask for help, but they also killed the people managed by the royal family. Then the noble private army entered the factory to quell the rebellion and kill people. The Royal Guards and the Four-Way Army each took different positions to support the nobles and the factory respectively. In the end, the two strongest armies under the royal family fought each other. The leader of the Four-Way Army called for the abolition of the royal family and the nobles, but in the end he died in the counterattack of the Royal Guards and the noble private army.
As expected, many members of the royal family died in the continuous riots. Finally, the nobles elected a ten-year-old royal branch child as the new king, and several major families at that time jointly served as regents. Several of these families were the predecessors of the current six major families. For example, the Fire Crystal Family was one of them. The royal family was very weak in the next nearly a hundred years, and the government was always controlled by the nobles. Many of the agreements between King Moses and the Tower of Forge, as well as the industrial knowledge he taught, were lost during this period.
The kings who later took the throne only knew that there was a trial site in the ruins of God, but they were not clear about the origin of the inheritance. "
Hearing this, Luo Ling said softly: "It seems that even in different worlds, history always has some similarities."
Xiao Chen understood what she meant. What Zenovia said had happened many times on Earth, both in the West and the East. He asked, "Have the nobles restored everything to its original state?"
Zenovia said: "The factory was burned down, many workers were killed in the violence, and the rest were taken to the workshop as slaves or locked up on the farm as serfs. The four-way army was basically killed, and the small nobles who supported the king were naturally liquidated. All of this is just a wave in the stagnant water of the Dwarf Kingdom. Everything is the same as it was five years ago, fifty years ago, or five hundred years later, five thousand years later."
Xiao Chen said: "Then you gave them the inheritance of the Great Blacksmith..."
"That terminal has actually been modified to adopt the dream learning mode developed by the Dream Tower. Originally, when training great blacksmiths for the king, they only needed to sit in front of this screen, and the effects caused by magic would resonate with the consciousness in their heads. They would learn the technology of the Forging Tower in person, just like working with our mages and craftsmen in the Forging Tower. But after Andrew died, I turned off this function."
"You have to know that although I had not yet come into contact with the power of faith, I had feelings for it. I was very angry about Andrew's death and very disappointed with the dwarves. I decided not to pass on the Tower of Forge to these people.
But something happened later, which changed my mind. **About two years ago, the warrior saint led a team to search for the inheritance in the ruins. In order to deal with them, I dressed up as the God of Forging for the first time.
Because these people had a preconceived idea that King Moses had received God's blessing here, they believed in the god I was pretending to be.
That time I felt the power of faith.
At that time, they prayed to me, saying that the common people should not be given too much knowledge and power, otherwise the kingdom would fall into chaos. They asked me to only grant knowledge to those chosen by their great families. At that time, I thought these fools were hypocritical and ridiculous. But for the sake of the power of faith, I agreed.
I was no longer prepared to give them the true inheritance, because I felt they were unworthy at the time. Moreover, the knowledge had the mark of the Forging Tower, which made it easy for knowledgeable forgers to identify its source.
To play the role of a god, you must first have the mystery of the gods.
But I still have to give them something to make them feel that I, the God of Forging, am real. So I cut off the connection between the display screen and the main database, and connected it to a test database. There is no system or basic knowledge there, mostly some messy ideas of the past mages and craftsmen of the Forging Tower. Many things are still being tested and verified. Giving them to the great forgers who come to the trial will only make them feel mysterious and amazing. Then they will worship the God of Forging even more. "
"It's all his own fault." Luo Ling sighed.
Xiao Chen said: "They are only doing it for their own benefit. The establishment of the factory directly violates their foundation. The deep-rooted hierarchy in the Dwarf Kingdom makes this transformation particularly difficult."
"The so-called ruins of the gods are actually a small world left behind by an ancient kingdom that was good at forging. The ancestors of the dwarves accidentally discovered this place and made up a god of forging. Originally, there was not much mystery here.
When I was training King Moses's people, they just built a simple house here. All the people who came sat in the house and watched the display screen. But since I was going to play the role of a god, this was not appropriate. So I asked those who had requests from me to constantly transform this ruins world, so these buildings gradually appeared here, including shrines located all over the ruins world, including the Temple of the God of Forging built deep in this ruins.
As these things increased, the power of faith I received became stronger and stronger, and finally I awakened my own divine power.
In fact, there is more than one secret passage in the cave you just entered, which can lead to the location of the real temple.
Later, the royal family, the nobles, and the temple each built a road leading to the temple. These are the three roads you know, and the road related to inheritance fell into the hands of the most powerful nobles at the time.
However, in a later era, a more powerful king appeared and once again took the road that belonged to the nobles into the hands of the royal family. In the end, the current situation was formed where the temple owns one road and the royal family owns two.
As for the priests of the temple..., since they believe that I am the God of Forging, they will naturally become my prey." (To be continued)
