Chapter 131 Travelers always bring some strange terms to the world

In the next hour, Huang Lang tried his best to explore the memorial hall without attracting other people's attention. He touched this twice and that twice, and tried to get as close to the exhibits as possible. He did everything he could, but still

No mechanism was triggered, and no traces that were too suspicious were found.

As for the war horse that he had originally suspected might have some clues about something fishy, ​​Huang Lang was also disappointed to find that no clues could be found about that horse yet, and it seemed to be just an ordinary war horse.

Apart from the face of the founding emperor of the human race that looked exactly the same as when he was a teenager, the only thing that could barely attract his attention was the story of Imrahil I and the war horse:

According to the records of the memorial hall, Inrahil I "met" his horse when he was a child. The horse was a wild horse he brought back from the mountains. Because his family was poor and could not afford Warcraft when he was a child, the emperor at that time

His Majesty rode a horse and was often laughed at.

However, this horse is very spiritual. It seems that it has been fighting with the emperor since he was a child. When he sees someone bullying the emperor, whether it is a human or a monster, he dares to rush up and kick him. He is quite fearless like the flat-headed brother in the horse world.

The posture is really about kicking whoever you see.

Then, he followed the Emperor on adventures and battles, traveling across the world. Finally, during the Emperor's last tour, he died outside the port of Moreby due to old age at the age of 86.

Well, an 86-year-old horse, this is probably what Huang Lang sees as suspicious, but considering that there are a lot of World of Warcraft and other intelligent species with extremely long standby times in the world, this doesn't seem to be a big deal.

.

All in all, after this lap, the horse didn't find anything wrong, but it did find that something was wrong with the horse's owner.

On the way back, I was thinking about how to find more historical materials to investigate the founding emperor who looked exactly like me when I was a boy, and to see if this emperor was a villain created by her sister. I sat aside.

Olwina began to complain with resentment that she wanted to listen to the judge's "lecture", which attracted Huang Lang's attention again.

Judging from the intelligence Huang Lang has collected so far, there is quite a problem with this prosecutor.

Why do you say that?

This prosecutor is so gentle, and this prosecutor is so... down-to-earth - that is to say, he will not personally help slay demons and eliminate demons, and also help with farm work and help the whole village become rich. Huang Lang felt that

Something's not quite right.

Because the Upper Port District and Lower Port District system that Huang Lang in Port Morbi experienced personally, that thing is like a caste segregated area, is actually the masterpiece of the Goddess Cult, and the noble promotion system that the empire continues to this day was also created by them -

——At least Huang Lang understood it this way, and what he learned was that although these people of the Goddess Sect also claimed that believers would be saved, and although they also fought against evil spirits, they should have a very harsh attitude.

It's like if an evil spirit appears in a village and is infected, the whole village will be thrown into the flaming hell.

After expressing her doubts to Olwena in a very tactful and subtle way, the eldest lady showed an expression of sudden realization, and then began to explain to Huang Lang why there was such a difference.

It turns out that in this world, the Goddess Religion also underwent Z-religion reforms, and there were more than one large-scale reforms, at least three times recorded in history.

"You think the Inquisitor is a little strange, probably because it has been difficult to come into contact with Inquisitors from the Eorzea Presbyterian Sect in recent years." Olwena said with a wink.

"What did you say?" At that moment, Huang Lang felt that he was hearing hallucinations.

"You see, that's it. Now it's hard to get in touch with the Inquisitors of the Eorzea Presbyterian Sect."

Olwena had no idea that Huang Lang was surprised because of the word [Eorzea]. On the way back, she started to explain to Huang Lang the reforms of the Goddess Sect in this world after the Eternal War a thousand years ago.

The history comes from:

For almost a hundred years after the end of the Eternal War, the Goddess Cult, which had saved the world, defeated evil spirits and set bans on evil spirits, was relatively peaceful.

According to the research of later generations, the tranquility of the Goddess Cult at this stage was mainly related to the social environment and productivity at that time.

The war that engulfed the world has just ended. It can be said that the world is basically devastated and is in need of reconstruction. At this stage, all manpower and resources have been invested in self-protection and reconstruction. Basically, ordinary people except the Z sect of the Goddess Sect

There is no other spiritual sustenance or entertainment other than the activities.

Moreover, the fear of evil spirits sweeping the world has not subsided, so ordinary people are also very afraid of the possible return of evil spirits, so they are also very interested in the Goddess Cult activities that can strengthen their souls and beliefs.

During this period, ordinary people were basically in a state of having nothing but the Goddess Religion and no need for anything except the Goddess Religion. The foundation of ordinary believers was extremely solid.

This is not just the case for ordinary people, the rulers are also quite unified around the Supreme Judge P, and there are basically no disputes - at this stage, the power of the Supreme Judge P and other senior personnel of the Goddess Religion is quite large.

Yes, they can travel to and from various countries on the pretext of fighting evil spirits and enjoy a high degree of power and freedom.

During these more than a hundred years, the Goddess Sect was very strict in controlling the people.

"According to what you said, in the first hundred years or so, the Goddess Cult was very similar to what it is now, wasn't it?" Huang Lang asked with interest.

"It is indeed somewhat similar," Olwena said with great interest when talking about history, "but during those more than a hundred years, the reasons why the Goddess Sect strictly controlled the people were different from what they are now. At that time, their reasons were still changing at any time.

Demons that may fight back.”

"Now, isn't it because of evil spirits?"

"Of course it's the same, but it's different. Let me explain."

Olwena continued to explain:

Almost 200 years after the Eternal War, the Goddess Cult underwent its first change.

The evil spirits that have not appeared in nearly 200 years have restored prosperity to the world, and also caused a large number of witnesses who have experienced the baptism of the eternal war to leave this world due to the baptism of time.

The revival of productivity worldwide, the re-enrichment of cultural and entertainment activities, and the absence of evil spirits in 200 years have significantly shaken the prestige of the Goddess Cult, which still strictly manages the world.

People no longer have nothing but the goddess, and need nothing but the goddess. They have a rich life and other things that can be used to fill their souls, so they have resisted and resented the strict control of the soul by the Goddess Religion.

.

At the same time, the emerging generation of rulers also became keenly interested in the huge power of the Goddess Cult.

"The [Primitive X-Belief Revival] movement started almost 800 years ago." Olwina paused after saying this.

"That is to say......"

"Yes, the beliefs of various races before the Eternal War, the various sects known as primitive beliefs, and the worship of various gods began to have their first revival at that time." Olwena explained.

Listening to Olwina's explanation, Huang Lang understood that before the Eternal War, the beliefs of various races were quite divided. The gods of war, water, and fire were all prosperous.

"These primitive gods are collectively called [original gods]... What's your expression?" Olwena, who was explaining, saw the sudden expression of dementia on Huang Lang's face and asked with a smile.

"It's okay...just continue..."

"These original gods..."

"Wait a minute, you should still talk about the original gods!"

"It's a strange request, but okay, these original gods and the original Z religion, according to the Goddess Cult, are one of the reasons why the evil spirits can invade. For example, the orcs God of War Cult instigates anger, and the Supreme Cult of Elves incites

Arrogance, different ethnic groups believe in different things, this is division, but..."

"But someone secretly performed the ritual and found that the evil spirit did not reappear?"

"You're right."

It turned out that extensive historical research later believed that the rulers of the major countries of that era secretly supported the [Primitive X-Year Revival] movement, reviving the primitive rituals of various ethnic groups in hidden places, and then came out with the results and said, 'You

Look, we did it, and the devil didn’t show up either]

The upper and lower levels of the world worked together, and soon the first major reform of the Goddess Religion was ushered in.

"In the Holy Land of Eorzea, the Goddess Cult held a conference. After that conference, the Goddess Cult basically divided into two factions. One faction is called the [Presbyterian Sect], and the other is called the [Eternal Sect].

.”

"Wait a minute, the holy land of the Goddess Cult is called Eorzea, right?" Huang Lang asked in an embarrassed tone.

"Yes, the Holy Land Eorzea."

"You continue..."

"The fundamental difference between the two factions naturally lies in what to do next." Olwena continued to talk.

Faced with a world that has begun to refuse their control, the Presbyterians, a group of elders who are not only high-level leaders of the Goddess Cult but also have aristocratic status in major countries, have mixed the Z religion with the secular world, advocate letting go; while the Eternalists, a group of elders who have nothing secular

The higher-ups of the composition feel that they should try every means to return the world to strict control, otherwise the evil will come back one day.

After the Eorzea Holy Land Conference, the Presbyterian sect became increasingly prosperous, and although the Eternal sect was still tough, they had to gradually retreat under the wave of waves set off by the entire world.

"This is the result of the first major change in the Goddess Religion."

"What about the second time?"

"The second great revolution occurred almost 500 years ago, and was triggered by a Presbyterian group."

"It was caused by one person?"

"Well, one person," Olwena nodded, "Although it sounds hard to believe at first, but in a sense, it was really caused by one person."

After listening to Olwena's words, Huang Lang roughly understood:

In the 300 years after the first great revolution, there were more and more Presbyterians who had become extremely secular, and fewer and fewer Eternalists—to the point of almost extinction. This seemed to be a good thing for the Presbyterians, but in fact

, as the influence of the Goddess Cult becomes more and more diluted, more and more nobles who originally held positions within the Goddess Cult no longer need the Goddess Cult.

Those members of the Goddess Cult who had no connections with the great nobles and state administrators and who truly believed that secularization was the right path found themselves abandoned.

Although these people agree not to be so strict and agree with secularization, they still believe that the Goddess Cult is indispensable. Seeing that their X-beliefs are beginning to be swept into the garbage dump of history little by little, this group of people are in conflict with the rulers of major countries.

, it became more and more intense.

"The flashpoint of the conflict was a Presbyterian believer, who was also the emperor of the Eternal Empire at that time - Horus I. His Majesty made a dirty play, forging a deliberate attempt by a senior member of the Goddess Cult to
To be continued...
