Chapter 523: Temple of the Gods

After entering the temples, Leo is like an ordinary foreign tourist. In every temple of the lineage, horses and flowers generally walk in front of each shrine. Look at the idols in the eyes and compare them. Relative information in mind.
　　 Leo first heard about the temples in the study room of the old Rembrandt in the city of Miria. When the old Rembrandt explained the history of the religion of Velon, he specifically mentioned the temples of the Inge Kingdom.
　　In the eyes of the old Rembrandt, the temples of the Inge Kingdom are actually similar to the orthodox mountain of the Holy Mountain of the Orthodox Court, but the way of presentation is different.
　　 The orthodox court has a very strong awe of the gods, so it will not directly sculpt the god's statue, but replace the with the seat and place it on the mountain.
The Kingdom of Inge was influenced by the belief in Poseidon, and the fear of other gods was much smaller, especially the royal family of Inge was self-proclaimed as a descendant of Poseidon, and only respected other gods without fear, so it would be built directly with gods. The temples.
　　Although the construction methods of the two are different, the old man of Rembrandt believes that there is not much difference between the two in nature, all of which are to show the divine power in this era when the gods disappear.
　　However, compared to the orthodox mountain, the old man of Rembrandt appreciates the temples of the Inge Kingdom, because the temples of the Inge Kingdom are the first time that mortals have organized the genealogy of gods.
　　 In the past, gods were only divided into true gods and evil gods. What was recognized by the Orthodox Church was the true god, and what was not recognized was the evil god.
　　 When Leo first came into contact with the gods of the Velon world, almost all people in the Velon world subconsciously believed that the true gods of the Orthodox Church are good and evil spirits are bad.
But with such a long time to understand the gods of the Velon world, Leo found that things were not as simple as they first thought. The true God is just an approved identity certificate. It has nothing to do with good or bad. There are also evil in the true god, such as The of revenge, such as the original, etc., and the evil gods are also good, for example, most scholars will secretly believe in the true spirituality, etc.
Although there are many true gods and evil gods recorded in the Orthodox Church, whether it is a true or an evil god, the Orthodox Church has never thought of arranging them according to information such as divine power, priesthood, or name, because in the view of the Orthodox Church Even the evil gods are mortals who can't look directly at them. The mortals only need to keep awe of them. They should not be arrogant and arrange themselves.
However, when the Kingdom of England built the temples, they obviously did not think so. They divided the spirits into fifteen genealogical systems according to the priesthood of the true god, and then according to the strength of the gods, all the true gods recognized by the Orthodox Church were all in one brain. Crammed into these fifteen genealogy of gods, and finally completed the genealogy of the temples that the world now sees.
In the eyes of scholars like Elder Rembrandt, the temple genealogy compiled by the Inge Kingdom is a little too rough, and there are many mistakes, and there are too many fifteen genealogy systems. In general, five big The priesthood system is enough, as for those remote priesthoods can be solved with a branch system.
In addition, the subjective consciousness of the British royal family is too strong. In order to reflect the respect of the sea gods, they arranged the sea gods into a system separately, and all the gods related to the ocean, whether they are legendary gods or not approved by the Orthodox Church The evil gods are all incorporated into this system, and they are called the incarnations of Poseidon.
　　 The implication is that there is only one sea in the ocean, and other sea gods are different forms of a god. They deliberately lifted the sea to the height of the old Velon like the sky master.
　　 The almost blasphemous behavior of the Kingdom of England is not the same in every country. There are anger, protest, approval, etc., but no matter what the reaction is, it cannot prevent the construction of the temples.
Things have passed for so many years, no matter how the various countries sensed the pantheon, even the countries that originally resisted the pantheon secretly began to write their own gods according to their mainstream beliefs. For ordinary people, the pantheon It's just a landscape worth visiting, and believers are even more weird, but will be proud of the gods they believe in being able to enter the temples.
　　For Leo, the Temple of Gods is a database that can help him further improve the spiritual information of the Velon world.
　　 At that time, in order to build a perfect temple, the English royal family spared no effort to collect a large amount of spiritual information. Although there is no clear statistical data, the religious research community believes that the temples are outside the Orthodox Court and have the most complete spiritual information.
Moreover, due to some conceptual and legal reasons, the Orthodox Church will destroy some of the ancient deities that have disappeared, and only retain the information of the true gods that still exist, and those suspicious folklore deities are not even qualified to be recorded by the Orthodox Church. Therefore, the information of the Orthodox Church in this respect is not as detailed as the temples.
Just like the unclean people Leo sees now, this deity is an ancient god. It was first thought to be the source of the plague after the war. It was a true recorded by the Orthodox Court, but it was also because of the disappearance. The court destroyed all records.
However, the belief of the unclean has not disappeared, but has changed its direction and became a folklore belief. The original symbol of the battlefield plague has now become the guardian of the toilet and toilet, and this belief has not been adopted by the Orthodox Court. Acknowledge that the unclean person who was originally the true has now become the evil of the underground church.
Nowadays, all the materials about this unclean person are carved on the wall of the entrance to the shrine, but it is clear that the royal family of Ingrid didn't care much about the patron saint of the toilet. The official and legendary materials are mixed together, and all are carved on the wall.
Because it is not carefully organized, there are many contradictions in the content, which will cause a lot of trouble to those readers, but for Leo, this kind of raw material without subjective modification is more suitable for supplement His database.
　　However, the materials on these words are not the most useful for Leo. What really works for Leo's database is actually the reliefs and statues made by the sculptor invited by the Inge royal family based on the written records.
Compared with the negligence of written materials, the importance of the Inge Royal Family to the idol is simply different. According to statistics, during the period when the Inge Royal Family built the temples, a total of more than 700 sculptors were used, 4,000 Many stone masons have dissatisfied and destroyed as many as tens of thousands of gods, which is twice the total number of abandoned statues in other places in the seminary. These destroyed stone statues were used to fill the sea to form the largest vinylon. Man-made bay Shuangyuewan and Shuangyuecheng.
The luxurious construction of the Ingrid Royal College for the Turin Theological Seminary or the Pantheon made many people wonder where the nearly astronomical construction funds came from. After all, when building the Turin Theological Seminary, the Ingrid Royal Family was not During the heyday, it should be reasonable to say that there should not be such a huge amount of capital.
　　 And more people are wondering why the Inge royal family should do this?
Because it is not difficult for anyone with a little wisdom to think that if the royal family uses the huge funds for the construction of the Turin Theological College and the Temples to do other things, such as domestic political activities, the recruitment of more royal guards, etc., maybe the royal family has long been The power has been regained, but the royal family did not do that. Instead, the builders looked extremely luxurious. In fact, the seminaries and shrines that did not have much effect on the royal family’s status and power promotion. It really makes people wonder how the English royal family is. considerate.
However, no matter how many people feel that the royal family is stupid, but for ordinary people, the royal family's approach is quite popular, because everyone knows that the royal family really uses the funds to build the seminary to regain their rights, so it conflicts with Congress It will inevitably become increasingly fierce, and even lead to civil wars. In that case, the forces of the Inge Kingdom at sea will not be able to advance, and the status of the sea dominance will not be guaranteed.
For artists such as architects and sculptors, if there is no huge investment from the British royal family, they will not be able to leave such perfect and so many exquisite arts, and the idols in the temples are definitely in the boutique. Boutique.
Whether it is the true identified by the Orthodox Church or the popular legendary gods and spirits, they all have one thing in common, that is, they have more than one kind of image, some of which are very normal, or human or animal, or some anthropomorphic Climate, such as Ms. Han Bing.
In general, most churches adopt an image that best fits the believer’s perception. For example, the of the sky is a huge eagle, but the temples do not do this. There are not only the most well-known gods and gods here. There are also incarnations of words that only appear in church stories.
　　In addition to the main idol in the shrine, there are many legendary incarnation statues of this deity on the walls around the shrine. Their exquisiteness is not worse than that of the main idol, and some are even more exquisite and more artistic.
　　After all, the main statues of other gods already have prototypes. Even if they are modified, they cannot be changed much. Instead, other avatars need to be imagined by the sculptor, so the effect of carving will be better.
　　However, Leo was interested in these avatars, because in these avatars, Leo found many very familiar forms.
"Moyaka, Digaga..." Leo, after visiting a temple, began to recall the familiar forms he saw before. Without exception, these familiar forms are all some of the famous aliens in the universe. race.
Although some idols have some characteristics that are slightly different from these alien races, they are only a little different. Most other characteristics are exactly the same as these alien races. If only one is like this, it can be said that it is Coincidentally, this is the case with more than a dozen incarnations, which makes Leo have to have some associations.
　　 It's just that Leo did not immediately make a conclusion, but set off for the second temple and continued this trip to the temples.
Although the fifteen temples are all the same size, the number of idols placed here is different. The number of idols in some temples is very large. Like the first temple Leo entered, there are more than eighty gods. Others are very few in number, with only five or six deities, such as the Black Forest deity.
　　 The Black Forest Divine Lineage is the only lineage in the entire temple except the subjectively fabricated Neptune lineage of the royal family, which is not based on the priesthood, but based on the area as the lineage.
In the temple belonging to the Black Forest, Leo did not see the statue of the golden giant deer. If you want to come to the Velon world, you should not know that there is a golden giant deer. Otherwise, in the way of the British royal family, you will definitely sculpt a statue of the golden giant deer. .
In addition, in this temple, Leo naturally also saw the statue of the old friend Black Forest White Deer. Interestingly, according to the location, the Black Forest White Deer has become the main of the Black Forest pedigree, not only the shrine is better than other black The forest gods are much larger, and even the gods are more exquisite. The priesthood is not made of stone from the original mountain, but stone specially transported from other places and specially carved.
Special treatment of the white deer idol, Leo has seen it in a few temples before, only a few active gods and deities, such as the Lord of the sky, it is clear that when the royal house of the Inge built the shrine, Very special emotions, which also made Leo think of the Flower Valley and Blue Palace in Kevin Town~EbookFREE.me~, after seeing the textual description on the white deer shrine, Leo found the original White Deer and Inge The royal relationship is extraordinary.
At that time, when the British royal family led their people to escape from the French Empire, they once encountered the interception of the Knights of the French Empire. They were forced to flee into the Black Forest and lost their way in the Black Forest. They also encountered the forest. Some unknown creatures attacked inside.
When they were about to encounter the disaster of extinction, they met the White Deer. The White Deer not only took them to a safe haven where they could be fully repaired, but also led them out of the Black Forest. Helping them avoid the chasing soldiers of the French Empire, it can be said that without the White Deer, there would be no English Kingdom.
Therefore, even though the national religion of the Engel kingdom is the Church of Poseidon, the belief in the White Deer in the Black Forest has not been severed. There is always a garden temple belonging to the White Deer in the royal palace. Choose the purest girl as the priest of the temple, and the royal wedding will also be held in the white deer temple. In terms of intimacy, the white deer is even above the sea god.
　　 It's just that the relationship between the royal family and the Black Forest White Deer is not deliberately promoted. Even if someone knows this from the temples, it is just as if the royal family is boasting, just like the royal family always uses the descendants of the sea gods and caregivers. As for why the gods of the Black Forest are connected, in the view of some people, it may be related to the Kingdom’s future counterattack on the Weilun Continent. First of all, it is related to the Black Forest, which occupies most of the territory of the Weilun Continent. title.
