Chapter 486: Siegfors School of Truth

The holy place is expanding day by day. Looking down from a height of tens of kilometers, you can see that a little golden yellow appears in a monotonous gray tone, which looks like a scar on the belly of a gray-skinned giant. .
After being purified, more and more creatures joined the Holy Land. Various beasts appeared in the Holy Land, as well as many humanoid races. Although the number of giants purified by the lizard people has been increasing, the proportion of them has been decreasing.
The main reason for the decline in the proportion of giants is an abyss race called mud monsters.
Not all races are natural warriors like giants. These thin races called'mud monsters' have been hiding in the dark corners of swamps, mountains, streams, bushes, etc. before being purified. They are the lowest intelligent species. Of course The number of them should not be underestimated. Although they are small and almost incompetent, they are in number, but there are five to six hundred people in a lair.
After being purified, the true appearance of this mud monster is a kind of humanoid race with a height of no more than 1.5 meters and a thin and slender body.
The appearance of this kind of humanoid race is very similar to that of giants and the original 200 human races in the town, but they are too small and courageous. Whenever there is wind and grass, they like to go into the woods and grass and stand in front of the giants. When you can't help it, you will shiver.
The giant called the small race purified from this mud monster to be a halfling, and the dominant giant in the Holy Land is not so polite to the foreign race.
At this time Leonardo had defeated all the leaders who challenged him, and he was indeed brave. Naturally, he became the leader of the giant.
At this time, he still cared about the overall situation. Remain restrained and share the holy land with this halfling, but the attitude is not so polite. The only job of this halfling in the holy land is to cultivate farmland, plant crops, or serve as servants to giants and carry weapons. , Take care of the beast or something.
When the Holy Land expanded to the fifth month. The diameter of the holy place is already 250 kilometers, and the number of giants has reached 30,000, which looks pretty good.
But compared with the number of halflings. Then it's a little ugly, there are a total of 200,000 halflings!
According to the giant, such little dwarfs like mice are almost everywhere. Had it not been for the halfling, it seemed that there was no threat, and he was very submissively in front of the giant's slave. Maybe the giant is about to kill.
It was also in the fifth month. The town where the altar was located has been built into a small town. The city was renamed Siegfors.
At this time, an oracle was issued in the Temple of Life where the Goddess Altar was located. The Temple will establish a School of Truth, and the goddess' envoy Alan will personally teach.
The oracle specifically stated that any people in the Holy Land have the right to sign up for the selection, and no one can block it.
After this oracle appeared, it should have been a shocking event. But unexpectedly, it did not cause much disturbance.
The giants are a little unclear, so the Truth Academy? what? I do not know. But Ellen said he would teach words. This should be a good thing. Therefore, the giant leader Leonardo sent a dozen weak giant children to participate in the selection.
In Leonardo's view, learning the so-called truth is not important, and it is incomparable to the importance of practicing combat skills. The reason why people are sent to participate in the selection is entirely to take care of the face of the Alan.
Halflings need to be more positive, mainly because the upper layers of the Holy Land are controlled by giants, and they usually have no way of contacting the divine envoy. But this does not hinder their belief in the goddess of life. Now that they have this opportunity, there are naturally many halflings who want to take this opportunity to admire the glory of the gods.
But the problem is that their social status is too low. Most halflings are servants of giants. Although the oracle states that every citizen has the right to sign up for the selection, they finally went out to sign up under the threat of their giant master. Not many halflings participated in the selection, probably less than a hundred.
In the end, one month after the oracle was issued, one hundred and twenty-five people came to the Temple of Life of Siegfors.
Of the one hundred and twenty-five people, ninety-six are short and thin halflings, and twenty-nine are tall, but thin, giant children.
A group of people was clearly divided into two groups. The halflings were in awe of the giants, leaving them one by one, not daring to speak loudly. The giants looked at these short men dismissively, their nostrils cocked to the sky.
Among the halflings, there is a little guy named Ai Luoyin. He is seven years old this year. In terms of the halfling’s average life span of 30, his age is equivalent to the 20 years of a giant whose average life span reaches 90. He has grown Very short, with a height of less than one meter three, even among halflings, it is considered a short.
"Hey, little Elroin, why are you here too, go home quickly, you must not be able to pass the selection of the envoy." Some acquaintances laughed at him.
Airoin smiled and didn't answer. He was squeezed in the corner alone, but this did not prevent him from observing this magnificent temple of life.
Looking at the huge pillars, the goddess altar shining with supreme brilliance in the distance, the smooth ground, the tall and magnificent dome, all amazed him.
‘It’s a masterpiece of God! Airoin exclaimed in his heart. He knew that this temple was built by the goddess with the goddess of life's oracle and built overnight with supreme magic, which made him feel awe.
This time he was desperate to participate in the selection because he valued this. The power of the gods can do things that mortals can never do. If he learns the principles, even the roughest fur is enough to get rid of his humble fate.
As a halfling and a servant of a giant warrior at the same time, Eloin ran out against the threat of his master this time. If he was not selected, he might be broken his neck after returning.
Yes, twist your neck!
Giants like to do this kind of thing. Although the great leader Leonardo forbids his soldiers to do it, this is not a law. Giants like to do it quietly. In their eyes, halflings are despicable creatures. Their lives are not worth mentioning.
Thinking of this, Ayluoin clenched his fist tightly, and he looked at the altar of the goddess of life in the hall. I asked softly in my heart: ‘God, there is great inequality in the world. You are so kind and you have created this miraculous holy place. You said that all beings are equal, why can't you stop this kind of violence from happening? "
The goddess statue holding the water tank was still shining, and she stood there quietly with a gentle smile on her face. No answer was given to Elroin.
Elroin clenched his fist tightly, his nail pierced the palm of his hand, he couldn't figure it out. So it is painful.
At this moment, a beautiful woman in a moon-white gorgeous long dress walked in from the side door of the main hall. This woman was so beautiful, and Ayluo was stunned. For a while, I forgot the pain in my heart.
‘It’s the God Envoy Alan! Airo was excited in his heart. Thinking that as long as he passed the selection, he would be able to get the envoy to teach knowledge and principles. Seeing this beautiful person every day, Elroin felt his heart pounding in his thin chest.
In front of the altar, the envoy covered with sacred light spoke up, her voice was as fresh as water: "People of the goddess, I am the messenger of God Ellen, may the light of God live forever."
"May God's glory live forever." Everyone responded. Whether it is a giant or a halfling.
Allen continued: "This time the selection rules are very simple. I just need everyone present to answer my three questions sincerely. If you get the correct answers, you will become my apprentices."
Everyone listened carefully, and Ayluo's eyes remained unblinking, for fear of missing a word.
"The first question, the glory of the world and the eternal truth, which one are you more willing to pursue?"
When this problem came up, the Giants reacted the most.
A giant immediately replied: "I pursue the glory of a soldier!"
"I hope to make contributions and become a hero like Leonardo, and let everyone remember my name."
"I hope"
Three minutes later, all the giants have chosen the glory of the world. Their ancestors have been fighting for generations, and they have gained a respectable position by fighting and fighting. For giants, fighting is the truth, and gaining glory is all the pursuit of life.
As for the eternal truth, I don't know what this thing is.
Allen nodded, and warmly encouraged: "Then you will go back and pursue the glory of the world. Remember to hone your fighting skills a lot, and wait for future achievements."
The giants know that they have lost the election, but that's nothing, anyway, they are here to deal with errands. The giants gave Alan a deep salute, and then turned and walked away. When passing by the halflings, all of them snorted coldly, with a very obvious contempt on their faces.
Unlike the choices made by the giants, halflings without exception chose to pursue the so-called eternal truth.
Every halfling is sincere. Although many of them don't know what the eternal truth is, each of them knows that with their thin bodies, the glory of the world has nothing to do with them.
Allen looked at the 96 halflings left in the field again, and continued: "The second question, becoming my apprentice will always be cut off from the mortal. You will not marry wives and children, and will serve the goddess of life forever. Please make a choice, one step forward if you agree, one step backward if you disagree."
This condition is necessary. Allen pondered Luo Lin's words and came to the conclusion that if the temple wants to be immortal, it must be separated from the world.
As the first batch of apprentices at the School of Truth, marriage and childbirth were forbidden, so as not to get too deeply involved with the world, and to calm the emotions of the giants.
Because of this, in the eyes of the giant, any halfling who became an apprentice of the gods paid a huge price, and could not even have his own heir. This is really a great sadness. Then the giants will not have resentment towards the Temple of Life.
There are many considerations in this, and in the long run, Allen has devoted himself to nothing, just for this holy place to successfully spread to the entire White Mist Land and sublimate the world.
"Om~" The halfling people suddenly talked about it. This condition was too harsh and completely anti-human. After a while, a small number of halflings took a step back.
Whenever there were other options, the halfling gave up Allen's teachings.
But there is one exception. Almost as soon as Alan’s voice fell, the little Aloyin took a step forward, and he did not hesitate.
Allen glanced at him and nodded approvingly. At this moment, Elroin felt that his whole body was full of power.
After a while, 43 halflings took a step forward, but all the others retreated. Many of these people who are advancing are not sincere. They are forced to be helpless, because going back is dead.
Ellen was noncommittal, and she said to the retreating half-length humane: "Then you go back to marry a wife and have children, and live the life of a mortal."
The retreating half-length people saluted Alan, and withdrew from the temple sadly.
Allen spoke again: "The third question, after learning the truth and enjoying the glory of God, you will spread this glory throughout the Holy Land. Those who are willing to bathe in glory, whether they are your former enemies or friends, will share this glory with you. Share with him. If you can, please take a step forward, if you can’t, take a step back."
This time, Airoi hesitated because he hated giants. If a giant wanted to share the glory from him, it would be a torture to him.
But this hesitation only lasted for a few seconds, and then Elroin took a step forward.
He was still the first to do this. In order to get close to God and escape from fate, he has no choice but to move forward.
Obviously, the other halflings, like him, had no choice, so after hesitating for a while, all the 43 halflings took a step forward.
Allen nodded: "So ~EbookFREE.me~ you all became the first apprenticeship of Siegfors School of Truth, and the only apprentice I taught the truth by myself. The above three questions represent three If you violate this oath, you will be immediately deprived of your glory and rejected by God."
The 43 halflings all lowered their heads, panic and rejoicing in their hearts.
Alan looked at these halflings, especially on Elroin. She comforted her with a gentle tone that she had just learned: "The goddess said: All beings are equal. This equality is manifested in a long time, and this equality is manifested in Between races. The race that rejects the truth also rejects the future. The race that chooses the truth will inevitably move toward the sublime step by step!"
Airoin's body shook suddenly, he understood this sentence, he heard the divine envoy proclaiming the tragic future of the giants, and he heard the promise of the divine envoy to the glorious future of the halfling.
In an instant, the pain in his heart subsided. At this moment, with the help of the divine envoy, his eyes seemed to have the ability to see through time.
He raised his head, looking up at the beautiful envoy bathed in endless light, fascinated. (To be continued...)
