Chapter 17 17. Big Goose Stewed in an Iron Pot
The three brothers Dacus and Takaia were on the high slope outside the village, surveying the chaotic scene in front of them. He had a vague premonition that something would happen in the middle of the night, so he did not let the three brothers and sisters go to the village to have fun but instead conserved their energy.
He lay bored on the saddle and yawned. He even wanted to eat a goose stewed in an iron pot. He was wondering what to do with the goose, and then he was wondering if there was something wrong with his mental state. He was too deeply affected. , assimilated? Or is it just like that?
In the afternoon, the Black Ark pirate team was still guarding Darkus. When they saw the two saviors of Avignon with their heads lowered, the pirates pulled their heads up fiercely, plucking their eyes, and forced them to Accept it all.
Darkus glanced at the two knights again. Originally, he wanted to bring people over and let the two knights have a duel with the old farmers. If the old farmers dare to win, they still have to be slaves. If the knights win, their faith will probably collapse, and the Lady of the Lake will no longer favor them.
Maybe we can even see the goddess possessing her and angrily scolding Darkus. Then, just like a hornet's nest, the knights nearby received an oracle in their dreams to surround him. If you're lucky, the War Girl and her Lionheart Knights will also come over. Before boarding the ship, they might be able to put on a big show of the Druchi Cold Lizard Dread Knights versus the Knights of the Kingdom of Bretonnia.
A pure fun-loving person, but Darkus always felt that something was wrong. Looking up at the twin moons in the sky, I have no urge to recite a poem.
Darkus began to fall into deep thought: "There must be a motive for doing things. The burning of the village now is in retaliation for having a lance pointed at my nose. And that meal at night, was the meal I cooked so easy to eat? The question is Am I ready to face this crazy bitch?"
Why is Darkos so taboo about dealing with her? Because this woman is really a scammer. Although there are a thousand Harleys in the eyes of a thousand people, Darkus believes that after getting to know her, these thousand people will say that she is a cheat.
"The problem is that there is no gain in irritating her, only temporary pleasure. Maybe I will have to go to Athel Loren Forest for a tour in the future. After all, Val's incarnation is still there. If I remember correctly, her champion Ala Ross is there, too. And the five thousand-year-old "Shadow King" Aris Anar from Assur is something I can't afford to offend now. I can't resist intercepting him at sea halfway back. This I'm not looking for fun anymore, this is seeking death. As for the magic genius? Is he the same age as me?"
"Morayg Heg said my fate is unpredictable. Maybe I should talk to her?"
Darkus began to ask: "Franais, what god do you believe in?"
Franais hesitated for a long time and said uncertainly: "Kane, the god of bloody hands?"
"Ren, what about you?"
" Kane?"
Darkus sighed: "The fire of Asuryan! Alyssa, I guess you should believe in Hecate, the goddess of magic."
Alyssa originally expected Darkus to ask her, but no Thinking of Darkus saying it directly and affirmatively.
"Yes, sir."
Darkus looked at the Black Ark pirate captain again and asked, "Where are you?"
"Sir, I believe in Marcelan, the Lord of the Abyss."
Well, as expected, Darkus Nod, and then let each Black Ark pirate speak out his beliefs. Nine believe in Matheran, and one believes in Khaine.
Every race in this world has their own god.
For example, the greenskins believe in Gorge, the ogres who can't eat enough believe in the God of the Maw, the Skaven believe in the Horned Rat, yes, yes! The
Bretonnian knights believe in the Lady of the Lake, Bordero. Some knight lords believe in both the Lady of the Lake and Mannann. As for the old farmers who generally believe in folk gods from the south, the knights don't like the old farmers believing in the goddess of the lake. Of course, money still has to be collected when giving alms.
The foundation of the empire is steel, gunpowder and faith. This faith is Sigma, who established the empire. He is the patron saint of the empire.
Apart from Sigmar, the empire's main beliefs fall into three main categories: old gods, folk gods, and regional gods. Ulric, Tal, Leia, Mannann, and Maul are the old gods, representing war, nature, fertility, the ocean, and death respectively. Folk gods were introduced from the southern city-states through trade and exchanges, such as Verena, Mirmedia, Thalia, and Ranold, who are the patron saints of wisdom, military strategy, mercy, and trickery respectively. Regional gods are generally There are some river gods and the like, as well as the extremely niche wine god and so on.
There are also some cultists lurking within the empire who believe in Slaanesh, the god of love and art, and Tzeentch, the god of wisdom and knowledge. Hearing this name brings positive energy.
Elf culture is steeped in mysticism and magic. Elves believe that their god is always watching over them and is a part of them. An elf believes that every action and thought he makes is mysterious in some way, so everything they do is somehow connected to God.
The Elven God is the belief of all elves, no matter whether it is Asur who lives on the toilet seat in Ulthuan, Druzi who lives in the bitter cold land of Naggaroth, and Asrai who squats in the tree of Athel Loren.
Of course, there was a special period for the elves. The great Phoenix King, now the Witch King, His Majesty Malekith, and his mother Morathi once secretly organized a joy sect that believed in Slaanesh, the god of love and art. Annasara, the mother of the Hell Calamity Family, was once a key member of the Joy Sect, and she was still at the elder level. Or how come she and Morathi have been good friends for six thousand years?
However, a long time ago, before the elves were divided, this sect was destroyed by Morathi's good son with a heavy blow, and staged a classic show of a loving mother and a filial son. Now this pair of best friends, Morathi claims to believe in Assati, the goddess of desire, and Annasara believes in Hecate, the goddess of magic. As for what you believe behind your back? Darkos had not been blessed by Khorne, the god of courage and glory, and did not dare to ask his clan mother. There are twenty-two elven gods, divided into the Kadai and Sesarayi gods, which are the gods of the sky and the gods of the underground, the remnants of the previous reincarnation. Mauraig Heg, who blessed Darkus, has many titles, such as "Soul Keeper", "Prophecy Weaver" and "Old Woman". She is the kind who abides by neutrality and does not offend either side. Of course, neither side will offend her. It is a typical acquaintance, but not familiar.
The Asur who live in Ulthuan believe in the Kadai pantheon, headed by the autistic Asuryan the Riddler, the creator god, followed by Vaal, the god of forging, Aisha, the mother goddess, and Kunos. The God of Hunting, Hos, the Lord of Wisdom, Lilith, the Pure Girl, etc. are lined up in sequence. Asul will also treat Kane with caution, and will prepare a small number of sacrifices before the war begins, but Kane never offends them because the sacrifices are too few.
The Druzi who live in Naggaroth believe in the Thessaray pantheon, headed by the manic Kane, followed by Eth Haiai, the Pale Queen, Anes Lema, the wild hunting goddess, and Heka. Mention, the Goddess of Magic, Radley, the Goddess of Mist, Dracora, the Queen of Revenge, etc. are lined up in sequence.
Druchi's official legal faith is Kane, and Malekith proclaims himself the Chosen God of Kane and declares himself to be the incarnation of Kane. Actually no, it was just to meet political needs and achieve the unity of Orthodoxy. In fact, he is Asuryan's chosen one. There is another person chosen by Kane, ah no, there is Asul, that brother should have been born, he is still the same age as Darkus, his fate is so unpredictable.
The main altar of Kane's sect is located in Hal Gansi, one of the five main port cities in Naggaroth. It is ruled by Kane's bride, the mad woman Heliben, who is also a pink-haired girl who has lived for more than six thousand years. Cute girl. Tularis Fear-Bearer, the executioner of the Cult of Khaine, was also there.
Kane, known as the "God of Bloody Hands" and the "Lord of Murder", is the elf god of violence, war, cruelty, bloodshed, destruction and murder. He is the lord of murder, the ruthless embodiment of evil creed. Why does Drucci believe in Kane? Because this manic patient is really awesome and responds to all requests! Sincerity leads to wisdom! Sacrifice blood before the battle to please Kane. If he is satisfied, he will really give you the blessing of killing.
But it must be a sacrifice of blood, it doesn't matter whose it is. Darkus remembers one time when Turaris went on an expedition to the Nehekhara Desert and chopped against the skeleton. As a result, Kane refused to accept the thing at all. In the end, he had no choice because he couldn't cut it, so he could only sacrifice half of it. Druchi, after winning that battle, Tularis took a boat and ran away without even bringing his head back.
Therefore, being a soldier in Druchi is quite a tricky thing. In many cases, the damage in battle with Asul is higher than that of the opponent, because if you go forward, you will die nine times, but if you go backward, you will die no life. Sometimes, as soon as the soldiers reported to the Centurion to replenish their troops, their buttocks were still wet, and the previous battle was lost, the entire Centurion was implicated and sacrificed to Kane. Many times, people die inexplicably. Where can I go to explain?
But there is no way. The common people of Druchi are no better than the old peasants of Bretonnia. Although there are not only three nobles in a thousand years, they are still very few, but at least there is a chance. In addition to being a soldier, he was going to sea, or he was a street boy, or he was selected as a city guard based on his connections. By the way, nepotism among the top management of Druch is serious. That crazy woman Heliben’s father is Malekith’s good friend. The husband of Annasara, the matriarch of the Hell Calamity family, and the young master Nukel's father was also a good friend of Malekith, but he died during the Great Schism.
Krakalond, the city of the Southerners and the hometown of Darkus, is different. There is the landmark building of the Tower of Destruction. Above the tower is the place where sorceresses practice magic. It belongs to the 211st part of Druchi's magic practice. , the Dark Witchcraft Monastery of 985 is located in the northern border fortress city of Grond, Morathi's lair. One south and one north call each other, and best friends usually use magic balls to remotely video chat.
The Tower of Destruction is filled with all kinds of beasts and is a paradise for beast tamers. There are also many sailors and pirates in this city. After all, Druchi's shipyard is here.
Therefore, the mainstream beliefs in this city are Hecate, the goddess of magic, Anes Lema, the goddess of wild hunting, and Marcelan, the lord of the abyss. The Cain sect has declined a bit and has to lean back. What people in the sect look forward to every day is for dignitaries to come and offer sacrifices to relieve their itching. After all, theory and practice must be fully integrated. The most anticipated thing every year is to have fun at the midnight of death. Before having fun, you have to step on the plate. You don't dare to go to the aristocratic area. If you go there, you will be beaten for fun.
As for Druchi's aristocratic beliefs, don't ask, ask Kane. Didn't you see that when people are not fighting, they still have to pay a high price for Asul and offer it to Kane? Don't worry about true and false letters, the kung fu must be done properly. Of course, some crazy people are true believers.
The low-level civilians and soldiers of Druzi basically believe in Kane, and some beliefs are based on occupation. For example, some black guards of Nagarond believe in Edreze, the Lord of Blades, and some fire sorceresses believe in Ardaeus. The God of Fire, the Dark Riders believe in Nisu, the Keeper of the Ultimate Gate, the Witch Spirit and the Khaine Assassins definitely believe in Khaine.
Of course, most Druzi will also believe in Eth Haiai, the Pale Queen, because this god can prevent their souls from being devoured and played with by Slaanesh after death. No one stipulates that you can only believe in one. In short, Druchi's belief is very, very utilitarian.
As for the Asrai in the Athel Loren tree, headed by Kunos, the God of Hunting, and Elsa, the Mother Goddess. After all, their incarnations are there. Therefore, every time in the middle of winter, the incarnation of Kunos will willingly walk into the pyre, just to get a thunderous rebirth at the beginning of spring. Each year on the eve of the Spring Equinox, the Wild Riders choose a young prince to bear the mantle of the incarnation of Kurnos for the coming year. The true son will be guided to the Giant Tree of Time and given the blessing and protection of Elsa's incarnation. There she will use the flesh and blood of her true son and the soul of Kunos to reshape her deceased husband and perform the miracle of rebirth.
Question: How many male nobles are there in Aslay?
Aslay's faith has no taboos, and he believes in both the Kadai and Sesarayi gods. According to their respective needs, the blacksmiths with Dess believe in Vaal, the god of forging, the Eternal Guard believes in Edreze, the Lord of Blades and the War Dancer believe in Loic and the Deceiver, and the warriors in Pine Cliffs choose to believe in Cuno. Si's enemy Anes Lema.
Darkus suddenly thought of a story from his previous life. At the end of the day, Ulthuan sank. Someone asked an Asur what he believed in? The Asur held his head high and said proudly: "I have no faith, I am a staunch atheist!"
This joke is actually not funny at all, and these elves and gods all have a common hobby, that is, what do I do? Everyone knows it, but I don’t say anything.
The thought of dealing with these things made Darkusgua's mind go crazy, and he said to the Black Ark pirate captain: "Go, go to the village and get as many pigs, cows, chickens, ducks, and geese as you want. Do you know these things?"
"Sir, I do!"
"Okay, I'm going to eat goose stewed in an iron pot tomorrow, and you have a share."
The difference between the champion and the chosen one is that the champion has the most likes, and the chosen one is chosen by the gods. great.
This chapter was so hard to write, and the next chapter will be even harder to write.
