If he really wanted to put a statue up, it would give him some headaches.
A statue of a god, it is not a simple casting of a sculpture that can be called a statue of a god. The so-called god statues, of course, must be blessed by the gods and recognized by the gods as their incarnations before they can be called god statues and have corresponding effects.
So, here comes the question: the temple of Dane doesn't even know what god is enshrined. Where can I get a real statue
Dane, who was suffering from a headache, paced back and forth in the temple, and unknowingly walked to the edge of the stone platform, so, the next moment, a sudden change occurred!
The corners of Dane's eyes were suddenly covered by a burst of brilliant light. Looking sideways, he saw lights of different colors emerging from the empty stone platform. Black, white, red, black, it is almost impossible to count how many colors emerge in it. At the moment when those rays of light emerged, there were also countless spiritual thoughts pouring into his mind.
"Follow me..."
"Believe in me..."
"I will grant you eternal life..."
"Power, money, what do you want?"
"Honor me is truth."
…
Countless voices whispered in Dane's ear, some scary, some gentle; some fair, some sinister. Hardly any of the voices are the same, and the ideas they narrate are so diverse that hardly any of them are the same.
Almost immediately, Dane realized that these voices were the messages from countless gods from their kingdom of God. They all wanted to set up their own statues on the temple of Aureliadu, but what was before Dane was to let him make a choice: whether to choose a statue for this newly built temple? What kind of faith
Shaking his head, Dane took two steps back, a little further away from the blank stone platform. The thoughts of those gods were too strong, and the beliefs of many gods were completely different, and they flooded into his ears and soul at the same time, making his head almost explode. He even thought that if he listened for a longer time, he might really be driven crazy by these completely different divine thoughts.
Gods are not something that mortals can resist.
A little farther away from the altar, and after the chaotic thoughts are far away from him, he can calm down and think carefully to make a choice.
He himself is an unbeliever, and has never had any sense of worship for gods or anything. Therefore, he had never considered the question of what kind of god to believe in before, but now he had to think about it carefully.
First of all, it is absolutely impossible to choose a god at random. He himself is an unbeliever, but that doesn't mean others are too. The Orodic world is a world where real gods exist, and the influence of gods on the entire world is also very significant. On the mainland, besides the country, there are various forces. Among them, the influence of the church is undoubtedly the most powerful. Even, in many countries, theocracy is even stronger than kingship.
For ordinary people, faith is also very important. As far as Dane knew, his subordinate, the wandering knight Sako, was a true believer of the Lord of Light. Before fighting, before eating, before going to bed... almost anything, as long as you have time, you must close your eyes and pray. Another example is the ranger Delin, he is a believer of the Wind Son, although he cannot be said to be very pious, but he can be regarded as a true believer. Others, more or less, have their own beliefs, not necessarily deep, but at least they are general believers. There are no more than ten unbelievers like Dane in the entire Horror Mercenary Group.
These are still mercenaries. Among the fixed classes such as farmers and citizens, the proportion of people who are influenced by gods and have their own beliefs is even greater.
Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Dane to spread a belief in the territory casually. It's very simple, if he chooses 'God of Tyranny, Bane' as Oridian's belief, then Shaco will be the first to turn against him.
Of course, this is a very extreme example. It is certainly impossible for Dane to choose the gods of the evil camp as the belief of Aurinadu. This is an elven territory with a tree of life and a tree of life. It must be unreliable to believe in evil gods. What's more, although the horror mercenaries are not good people, and some people believe in gods such as the goddess of cunning and conspiracy, but these gods are still in the neutral camp, such as the bloody lady, the god of tyranny, There is really no such evil god as the god of murder. Therefore, within the scope of his choice, neutral gods are the best, good gods should be okay, evil gods must not.
After eliminating the evil gods, there are still many neutral gods and benevolent gods left, and there is still a wide range of choices, and Dane has to continue to consider.
His current territory is the territory of elves, and he must consider this. Obviously, although the population of elves in the elves under him is still not large, in the near future, due to the existence of the divine guidance tree tower, the population of elves in Aurinadu will continue to increase. When believing, he must take into account the needs of the elves.
After several considerations, Dane finally made a choice: Hilo.
Hilo is an elf god. Among the elves in the Orodic world, this god has an incomparably lofty status, which can be seen from his god name: Father of elves, teacher of nature, master of elements and life patron saint. In the legend of the elves, Hilo created the first elf in the multiverse, Elune, and married him. During the long years, the two established a huge kingdom of elves. Later, the eldest daughter of the two, the former hunting goddess Ximani, fell out with other gods of the elf pantheon, and the war of the ancient elves broke out. He brought his followers to the underground world, which became the later dark elves. But despite this, even among the dark elves, there are still quite a few who believe in Hilo. This is also the only belief in the drow god system that can be accepted by the dark elf world.
Taking Hilo as the main god was a decision made by Dane after careful consideration. First of all, there must be no problem with elves. Hilo itself is the main god with the highest status in the elven pantheon and is also the most widely believed by the elves. If the other elven gods are not the descendants of Hilo, or are not conferred by Hilo's believers, there are only a few who can There is no one who is equal in status or status.
Secondly, the name of the natural teacher basically doesn't have too many enemies except for a few gods such as the burner and the god of ashes. And the priesthood of "Guardian of Elements and Life" is unique on this main plane, with only allies and no enemies.
Such a god who can be widely accepted, does not have too many opposites, and at the same time possesses powerful divine power and ranks among the main gods, must be the best choice for Dane at the moment.
As a neutral and good god, Hilo doesn't hate many things. But the more troublesome thing is that he hates undead very much. This may cause some troubles when building undead bases in the future. But then again, let alone good gods, most neutral gods hate undead. Even some evil gods don't like these things very much, and it is impossible for Dane to find a god who is compatible with the seven clans of "Dynasty Heart". Shiloh, by contrast, is almost the most fraternal.
Among the seven races, the abyss and the cemetery, except for these two conflicts with Hilo, humans, orcs, dark elves, dwarves, and mage colleges will not conflict with Hilo's beliefs, and the elves themselves are even more do not talk.
In this way, choosing Hilo as the main god should be the most reliable choice. As for the abyssal demons and undead in the cemetery that would cause conflicts... Dane can't help it either. Anyway, the gods who can be compatible with these two races are almost incompatible with other races. When this matter can't be both, it is natural to choose the most suitable one at the moment. As for what to do if Dane wants to engage in these two territories in the future, I will talk about it later, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge.
After thinking clearly, Dane took a few steps forward, and the rush of divine thoughts struck again. Under the pressure that was almost maddening, he approached the stone platform step by step, and tried his best to find Hilo's voice among the thoughts rushing into his head.
This is not a difficult task, there are at least dozens of gods whispering in his mind. But what you need to know is that Hilo is a main god with a powerful level of divine power, and his voice must be the most resounding among all the gods in his mind. There are only ten fingers who can compare with him.
When Dane decided to listen to Hilo's voice intently, the whispers of all the other gods gradually faded away, and finally only Hilo remained.
"Your choice is correct, human beings, come, put your hands on the altar, and I will bless you and erect the idol."
Dane did as he said, and gently placed his hand on the blank stone platform. In an instant, there was a green glow in front of his eyes, which made Dane almost unable to open his eyes.
When the light dissipated, he looked forward and saw a handsome middle-aged elf-like stone statue in a gorgeous robe standing out of nowhere on the stone platform. And that's not the only thing that changed. When the statue appeared, the entire temple hall where Dane was located was covered by a burst of soft light. Under the gathering of those lights, benches and reliefs appeared one by one. , the originally empty temple immediately became full of vitality.
