Udora's physical strength was not bad, but her forehead was still sweating after climbing all the way up. Hundreds of steps were neat and uniform. The stone material was crystal clear, and there were traces of magic polishing on it.
When she climbed up all the way, she observed a lot of details: this altar even had a complete drainage system. At the same time, it was not completely "solid", but there were many hollow areas inside, and there were many hidden rooms.
It was not just a simple religious place, but also considered the daily life of guards, priests, and so on. At the same time, it was integrated into an extremely powerful "fortress". If standing here and using long-range weapons, the range was much farther than standing on the city wall.
This was also an "occupational disease" of Udora after fighting many wars. But compared with the previous Marhalla Temple, the feeling here was obviously more solemn and sacred. Especially when standing in the current top area and looking back, Udora found that she could already easily see the entire outer city, and even the endless villages and farmlands by the river outside the city …
This was completely different from standing on the top of a mountain or a high slope, because everything under her feet was made of stones. The neat architectural style reflected an indescribable sense of order.
"Priest Udora, right? Follow me. "
The sudden voice made Udora turn her head, and then she found that today's "guard" turned out to be a dragon with two horns on his head. After the latter finished speaking, he walked straight in, and Udora hurriedly followed him.
The "top" 100 meters above the ground could actually only be regarded as a "foundation" that had just been completed. The circular area was thousands of square meters, and traces of stone stacking could be seen in the front, back, left, and right. Today, there were many Dragons standing here, and they were gathered together to discuss something. Udora could not understand the dragon language, but from their gestures, she could see that these guys were discussing the follow-up construction.
When Udora came to the center, she saw Roddy talking with Sally and Lord Victor. At the same time, he let the three Vipers appear next to him. It seemed that the Vipers were making some gestures.
"Prime Minister."
Udora bowed, but before she finished halfway, she heard Roddy said, "Let's get straight to the point. By the way — Alva, when you go back, say hello to Iscar and the others for me."
"I know, I know. I'll bring your regards to them."
Alva, who brought Udora up, winked deliberately and then bowed to his father, Victor. "Father, I'm leaving first."
Victor nodded and said nothing.
The Dragons had begun to evacuate one after another. Arlwa was preparing to return to the Kingdom of Karen today, so he came over to say hello before he left. Roddy, on the other hand, was worried about Kardashian, but he could not bring it up in front of Victor and Sally, so he could only use Iscar and the others as a cover.
But in fact, everyone knew what was going on. So after Alva left, only Udora was kept in the dark and did not dare to ask more questions. She reported the recent situation in the outer city in a low voice, as well as some conflicts and the results.
"Well done. The temple will be completed in three days. The safety of the people during the ceremony will be your main concern. Because the altar and the temple are very high, ordinary people don't have to come to the temple area to see it. In this way, you just need to allocate enough viewing areas. "
Udora had doubts in her heart, but she still bowed her head and said, "Yes … Prime Minister."
"It's okay. If you have any questions, you can ask them now."
Roddy saw that she wanted to say something but stopped on second thought and said, "If there are any problems in the outer city, I will send someone to help you solve them."
"Ah … no, Prime Minister, I'm just curious — why is the temple built in such a high place?"
After listening, Roddy raised his hand and pointed to the distance, "You stand here. What do those people in the distance look like?"
Hearing this, Udora turned her head and looked carefully. Those figures on the streets of the outer city moved slowly and were extremely small. She hesitated and answered, "Like … ants."
"Yes, the gods see us the same way. Standing here is not to overlook, but to understand our own insignificance. "
Udora, who had her mouth wide open for a long time, suddenly understood. Then she bowed and left.
After waiting for her to go down the stairs, Roddy turned to Victor and continued, "So I hope that the overall building can be as grand and as high as possible. The pressure it brings to ordinary people will become their desire for faith. Most of the grand buildings in history are related to religion. The fundamental reason is actually the same."
"Well, Dragons have also studied this problem. Even Dragons themselves are practitioners — if there is a chance to take you to the nests of various Dragons, you will know. Whether it is the 'Dragon God' or other high-level existences, this kind of worship has often become the main reason for a group to unite or split in thousands of years."
Victor agreed with this. He looked up at the City of Hovela above his head and continued, "Kardashian has already told me the formula of the cement. However, according to the method of pouring metal and 'cement' together, I think it will not be a problem to build a direct passage to the City of Hovela."
Two hundred meters above them was the base of the City of Hovela. The silver mirrored part looked very dreamy.
"The overall height should be about 200 meters. In the future, I think we can open this part of the base of the temple to ordinary people and promote this place as a 'holy land.' Then, we can find some people who live further away to make a 'pilgrimage' here. At the same time, we can promote the 'holy land' to people along the way. This way, the 'pilgrimage' will gradually become a norm. It will not be bad for the promotion of faith."
"Will it really be like this?"
Sally did not quite believe it. After all, she had never experienced such a thing. The Rose Cross and the Viper Cross had only promoted the existence of some "holy objects." They had never promoted the so-called "holy land" or carried out any "pilgrimage."
However, Victor nodded meaningfully and said, "The more ignorant people are, the more they will place their hopes on illusory things. On this point, Prime Minister Roddy is right. The High Elves have done similar things in the past, and some other races have similar records."
In fact, everyone understood the purpose of this: Roddy's "control of the divine realm" required the support of a large number of people's faith. The Dragons were now spending so much effort to help him with the construction so that he could control more "power of faith."
Now, Roddy and Sally were the real "killing machines" of the highest level. As long as this did not change, the Dragons must support his "expansion of faith" plan.
"Is three days enough to build it?"
Sally glanced at the dragons around her, who were in the process of dividing up the area. "… This' foundation 'took almost a week to complete, and now we're going to build another building that's almost a hundred meters tall in just three days? Is it a temporary building that is supported by magic? "
"No, it's a new construction method that uses new building materials. When the time comes, His Majesty only needs to stand on top and look down at the believers."
"Why do I feel that … you are planning to build more than one temple?"
Sally raised her eyebrows. "A building that is more than 100 meters tall. If it can be easily built, then the city walls …"
She suddenly froze and looked at Victor and Roddy. "So, this is also used to defend against the enemy?"
"All our preparations are for the war with the enemy … But if possible, I hope to attack, not defend." As he said this, Roddy turned to Victor and said, "So … My Lord, how is Kazvara's side?"
