In fact, to be honest, we are not here to learn how the local aboriginals fought an interstellar war with the productivity of the feudal society, and we are not interested in how many interstellar wars they have fought. Our mission is to search In this world, find the artifact left by the Star God Race, or any clues related to the artifact left by the dead scout. Soon I was attracted by the history told by Ron, because I am a person who likes to listen to stories. The Dark Moon War sounds much more interesting than those wars between gods and demons who fought to the death on a planet: they have not yet Shooting out the gods has already sent lightning bolts indiscriminately on the alien planet...
Now Ron has just talked about the events before the earliest Dark Moon War. At that time, the earth and the moon had not yet faced each other. The two planets were connected by a legendary long bridge. A livable planet with normal water and soil—not like what you see now, a black and dirty snowball hanging in the sky, which looks like it is heavily polluted. Like every not-so-good fairytale, this peaceful pastoral age will eventually end: war broke out between two races that usually have gaps. The version of the people on the ground is that the original sinners first went to war and slapped mankind, but considering that history is not necessarily fair, as an outsider, I don't care who fired the first shot first. In short, the mountain barbarians known as the original sinners seem to be a group of ruthless horns. When facing the coalition forces of various races in the world, they did not hesitate to pull the secret little brother into a play, killing all the leaders of the coalition forces wipe it up…
Afterwards, the coalition forces did not retreat but advanced, counterattacking frantically, and those originally neutral clans from all over the world also announced their participation in the war, and joined the original sinners in unison. That is, in the camp of the mountain barbarians, a conflict between the two countries eventually turned into a world war.
And as the war continued, the human coalition—in fact, humans are only one of the coalition, but because they were the first to be drawn, so I call this coalition the human coalition—discovered a terrible truth: the boss of the mountain barbarians may I grew up eating gold trash...
"Immortal? What do you mean?" I asked subconsciously, but seeing Ron's surprised eyes, I hurried to remedy it, "Oh, I know this statement, but I don't know the details. I want to ask if there is any in the scriptures. What happened to the undead body?"
"It's been lost for a long time." Ron waved his hand and patted the barbecue-flavored Bible on his knee. "There are only these four words on it. I guess the leader of the mountain barbarians obtained some forbidden power through black witchcraft. He put I became a monster myself. There are many missing places in this period of history, and there are more controversial places, but no matter which version is sure of one thing, that is, the leader of the mountain barbarians can fight the entire army alone. It is beyond human understanding, so there is a guess that that guy stole part of the power of the goddess, but the church does not recognize this: the power of the goddess does not belong to mortals at all. Not to mention stealing, even the dragons will die thoroughly if they touch it directly. In short, the war is getting more and more difficult, and the soldiers of the original sinners are getting stronger and stronger. They seem to have received some "suggestions" from the barbarian king. They have become more and more distorted, and some races have even begun to look like monsters. The war has been completely out of control in the later stage. According to the records of the gods, even the dragons, who were originally absolutely neutral and rare in the world, had to come forward in the end. They joined the righteous side. Those powerful ancient creatures really slowed down the war situation. The original sinners were also suppressed Go back. But it didn’t last long. The black witchcraft of the mountain barbarians finally gave up the last point of the bottom line. They began to pollute the elves and humans. People, turned into vampires. No one knows what this kind of black witchcraft is. The scriptures only mention that it can spread like a plague, and there is no cure. It is almost fatal, because elves and humans are separated. It is the pillar race of mages and warriors in the coalition army. After these two strongest races are weakened, the war is almost completely useless... "
A normal missionary would never use "totally useless" to describe the mythical story, so I quite like Ron's narrative style, which sounds very friendly.
I motioned for Ron to continue, but I saw the big black man put his hand on the Bible and muttered a sentence before continuing: "When the war was about to fail, a turning point appeared. The original sinners Black witchcraft and all kinds of evil magic exceeded the tolerance limit of the goddess. She finally decided to personally punish those children who had gone astray. The Great Sword of the Holy Light repelled the general attack of the original sinners. Although I was lazy and slept in the seminary, as long as I talked about the chapter on the goddess, I was extra energetic, it’s amazing!"
At this time, I didn't care about the little things about his student days. This story has been going around for so long, and finally got to the first important point, which is also unexpected: the goddess came in person!
We have always believed that the religions of this world were developed under the influence of the star field artifact. The power released by the artifact and the information disturbance of its original owner gave birth to the Goddess Cult, and an abstract concept was outlined in the minds of the local people. Goddess image, which is the source of all their myths. We were very sure about this conjecture, and therefore pressed the whereabouts of the artifact on this sect. As a result, Ron talked about it, why did they really have a goddess descended
"Wait." Bingtis directly interrupted Ron's narration, "Is the passage about the goddess's arrival accurately recorded?"
"Why not?" Ron nodded as a matter of course, the expression on his face seemed to feel that we were talking nonsense, "Every dark moon war ended with the goddess coming to the battlefield in person and resealing the dark moon people on the moon, everyone knows This matter—oh, you people who study knowledge will always ask some weird questions, which is quite normal, but I think you'd better not be suspicious when the goddess comes, if it is not for the goddess, who can tell the dark moon You call back?"
Bingtis and I looked at each other, knowing that it is not suitable to continue to pursue this issue, so we nodded to Ron: "Okay, then you continue, there is no suspense for the goddess to fight the war herself. I know this part of the history (Actually, I was quite ashamed when I said this), tell me how the goddess dealt with those original sinners."
"Well, this is the most important passage in the doctrine. Even if you have heard it countless times, I will definitely say it again." Ron laughed. He and the night demon elves were identified, and then all were expelled, which blocked the spread of black witchcraft. Then the coalition forces began to counterattack the original sin people. The goddess and the divine soldiers summoned by the goddess were invincible, and soon the original sin people Fighting back to their respective strongholds. At this time, the monster-turned king of the mountain barbarians finally appeared. He has become a twisted arch-demon. What happened next is repeated in all stories: The goddess singled out."
... I believe that the original text in the Bible is definitely not these two words. Ron's description is really friendly.
"That's what it says in the scriptures," Ron said while shaking his head. The appearance of this big black man with a face that hates the society and reciting the Bible is particularly amused. "The demon of original sin challenged the goddess, and the two sins of arrogance and tyranny burned a raging flame on his armor. The demon ran wildly towards the goddess. The sky also darkened, but the goddess held a long sword in her hand, and cut off the demon's head with one sword."
"Second?" I thought how thrilling this paragraph was. The result is just one sentence.
"Well, it's a second." Ron shrugged, "You all know what happened next: the goddess is kind after all. She doesn't want to kill all the children she created, even if they have gone astray, she wants to give them a chance to redeem. So the goddess Drive all the original sinners to the moon, which was completely destroyed by black witchcraft, and let them reflect in the harsh environment they created. Then the goddess destroyed the long bridge between the sky and the earth with a sword, and the earth and the moon can no longer travel freely. This This is the so-called First Dark Moon War."
I continued casually: "The original sin people were later called the dark moon people."
Ron nodded and hummed: "Yes. Because black witchcraft and the corrupt thoughts of the original sinners were driven out and concentrated on the moon, these negative things polluted the originally bright moon. It blackened its oceans and corrupted its land. The moon turned into that dark appearance. From that day on, it was called the Dark Moon, and the people who were imprisoned on the polluted land were called the Dark Moon People, including those corrupted night goblins and vampires. Those who remain on the earth call themselves earthlings from then on.”
"After the first Dark Moon War, the earth was at peace for a long time." Ron smacked his lips, as if sighing, "Because so many people died in the war, those who survived certainly knew that peace is better. They rebuilt what was destroyed by the war." This is the era of the second day kingdom. There is nothing to say about the following things. People, no matter humans, elves or dwarves, will always have scars when they heal. After a long time, the ground will be Chaos again—by this time, the goddess had returned to the God Realm for a long time, and some people even forgot the teachings of the goddess. It will reach the level of a world war. But this kind of chaos also gave the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of: the dark moon people are back. Not only the dark moon people are back, but even the demon that made the whole world fearful is back, that is, the mountain The former king of the barbarians, he was resurrected hundreds of years after being killed by the goddess, and he was even stronger. He knew that the people on the ground already called the moon the dark moon and the original sinners the dark moon people, so he simply admitted these names, And claiming to be the Dark Moon Lord. The Second Dark Moon War just broke out suddenly."
"Resurrection?" I said in unison with Bingtis, and then the two communicated briefly in the spiritual connection, and at the same time came to a conclusion: regardless of the details, the goddess believed by the local people is definitely not the real star field god.
A star field god, even if it is Ding Dong, is not enough to kill even a mortal. The Dark Moon Lord was still in the category of "mortal" when he was alive, and he couldn't even jump out of this star system , How can you jump out of the obliterating power of the star field gods
In fact, even without this article, I don't really believe that the "goddess" that the local people believe in is the star field scout who died that year. It is impossible for a dead person who has been thoroughly certified by the God Realm to reappear.
"Ah, it's resurrected." Ron nodded. "At this time, the people on the ground know that the immortal body obtained by the barbarian king, who is now the Dark Moon Lord, is so powerful that even the goddess can only let him die in a few days." It cannot be resurrected within a hundred years. The second Dark Moon War is almost more tragic than the first one. Because the people on the ground have been peaceful for too long, but the Dark Moon people spent hundreds of years preparing on the moon. Jun almost swept all the kingdoms at that time."
I knew that this war would definitely end in the defeat of An Yuemin, so I couldn't help but ask, "How did you fight back?"
"When all the tribes resisted the dark moon army, they finally discovered one thing. The dark moon king didn't seem to be here to kill the enemy and occupy the territory. He has been attacking the goddess temples and church states everywhere. The temple is destroyed, and the army under the Dark Moon Maharaja will have tens of thousands more out of thin air. At this time, the people on the ground will understand that the goddess' seal on the Dark Moon people is still there. The demon is constantly weakening the seal to release him. The former army. The various tribes finally remembered the lessons of the first Dark Moon War, knowing that only the power of the goddess can destroy the enemy, so they gathered the strongest and most devout believers into the Knights of the Temple, and prayed devoutly again I just said it. After hundreds of years of peace, many people have almost forgotten the teachings of the goddess, and now these people have awakened."
"Finally the goddess appeared again, right?" Bingtis interrupted suddenly.
"That's right, when people's beliefs are strengthened again, the power of the goddess will naturally return to the earth, and the goddess will come down in person again, driving the dark moon army back to the moon. And kill them again in front of the long bridge." Lord Dark Moon. This is the second war."
"Those who remember eating but not fighting?" Bingtis sighed, "If you guessed right, it will be the third era of heaven, the third dark moon war. The fourth era of heaven, the fourth dark moon war, and so on—you have already You have fought the Dark Moon War five times, why don’t you have a memory?”
Ron had a weird look on his face. Because the tone of Bingtis obviously picked herself and the people on the ground into two groups: the word she used was "you". The female gangster was careless, and she didn't bother to care about the accuracy of her words at this time. But fortunately, Ron didn't seem to be very careful. He took it as a small slip of the tongue by Bingtis, and then shook his head: "The Dark Moon War has been named like this time and time again, and there is no one in the Age of Heaven. Besides, although I say this is inappropriate, isn’t it shameful to call the era of remembering to eat but not to beat called the Age of Heaven?”
By this time, we have basically sorted out things like the Dark Moon War, the people on the ground, the goddess, and the Dark Moon Lord, but Bingtis and I are even less sure whether the artifact has clues to these myths : When a goddess in the Goddess Cult actually came, the situation became confusing. We all know that the real goddess may have died in other places before the birth of this universe, and the artifact she left behind was tens of thousands of years ago. He just drifted into this world, so what is the origin of the goddess that Ron said came in person
Bingtis’ face was very serious. I discussed it with her in the spiritual connection, and the female hooligan put forward two hypotheses: “Or, the will of the old senior from back then is left on the artifact, so every once in a while she uses the afterimage This appeared once by the local people as a goddess. Or, someone else possesses the power of the artifact. The so-called "goddess" does exist, but it is just an outsider who can use the power of the star field—if there is a It is not impossible to use an artifact to assist."
"Do you still think that the religion of this world was indeed inspired by that artifact?" I glanced at Bingtis.
Bingtis slightly gestured to the goddess statue pendant on Ron's neck with his chin: "Although it is very weak, but when this black fat man prays, I feel that the pendant is activated. It is the power of the star field, yes. But this little power It's just the afterglow of radiation, and it can't indicate the location of the artifact."
I was stunned for a moment, and finally decided that the first half of this matter is at least settled. As for what happened to the goddess, we can slowly discuss it in the long run. Artifact power...
Thinking of this, I took a peek at Bingtis: "What if an outsider really took possession of the artifact?"
Bingtis rolled his eyes and recalled: "Well, it depends on what kind of artifact and what the person who got the artifact is doing. If the person involved does not threaten the balance of the world, then it is natural to recover the artifact, record the incident, and give the person a warning and education. , if the person involved is a guy who has done all the good deeds, accumulated virtue and done good deeds, and would like to plug himself in every hole in the sky, there will be rewards after the assessment. But if he does bad things, it is hard to say, after the Pantheon review, he will make a thunderbolt Punishment ranging from five thunderbolts to the top, serious crimes will be sentenced separately."
I don't understand: "What's the difference between one thunderbolt and five thunderbolts?"
"It doesn't make a difference, if the divine lightning strikes you, you'll definitely die." Bingtis shrugged, "It's more deterrent when it's mainly shown to the public."
Me: "... In your opinion, is the goddess believed by the local people good or bad? I wonder how she is like the Lord who saved the world..."
Bingtis grinned: "Because imprisoning the Dark Moon people on the moon counts as good deeds? I don't think so, and the Dark Moon War has been fought five times, and it can be explained by not being able to do it once or twice. In the eyes of my concubine, to drive the Dark Moon people back like this five times is not considered a good deed... There are too many doubts in this Dark Moon War."
I was stunned, and I thought to myself, every Dark Moon War ends with the loss of life, those Dark Moon people have obviously been completely corrupted by black witchcraft to the point of being hopeless, why does the "goddess" keep them all the time? ? If you use the lack of strength to explain it, it will definitely not make sense: Lord Dark Moon can't last two seconds in front of the goddess...
"So what?" Ron saw that Bingtis and I hadn't talked for a long time, and finally couldn't help but said, "What else do you want to hear? Let's talk about it, why did I end up alone in the end?" Preaching, the bad habits learned in the seminary can't be changed!"
I was embarrassed for a while: I had been discussing issues with Bingtis in the mental connection just now, and I forgot that there was someone sitting next to me. From the third-party perspective, I am afraid that I have been flirting with this female hooligan for a long time!
