The two teams had a total of 17 people. It took them more than an hour to crawl out of the cave completely. The survivors breathed in the cold and fresh air and sat on the ground, cheering in relief.
Pan Da's expression was not good. He quickly checked the scene of the cliff collapse and found that the people he had left outside were either killed or directly buried in the canyon. The Ice Fist Mercenary Group had also suffered heavy losses. Captain Dewitt found the three Wood Elves' corpses and cursed angrily, "These b * stards! I will skin them alive! "
He had completely forgotten that he had tried to be friendly with Natha. He angrily nailed his sword to the ground and even kicked the corpse on the ground.
Roddy and the others did not have such deep hatred. Iscar was pulling out the big bag that he had carried over from the cave. At the same time, he lightly rubbed the edge of the tunnel with his hand. Except for him, all the Dragons who had just crawled through the tunnel did the same thing. They were all curious about the real "miracle" that had unfolded in front of them.
Leaving the cave meant that the magic agreement that had just been reached in the ruins was automatically terminated. Therefore, as the leader, Kardashian consciously led the group to a place a dozen meters away from the cave to rest. Pan Da and the others were also busy checking the losses of the team and collecting the corpses of their companions. Therefore, they did not have the time to discuss the next step.
During this time, Roddy took the opportunity to drink water and asked in a low voice, "I know that the gods show their power, but have they ever responded to a believer like this?"
Iscar sat on the ground with his back facing Pan Da and the others. He softly replied, "There have been, but that was a very long time ago."
"In the past, the High Elves were not the only races on the continent. Before the High Elves, there were other dominant races, such as the ancient dwarves, or a race that was similar to humans but much larger in size."
Rody had only heard about it. It was part of the 'Chronicles' in the 'Earthbreaker' game's promotional brochure. However, since the game did not involve these races, Roddy did not search for more information. He roughly remembered that the entire continent had no more than three thousand years of recorded history. It wasn't that there weren't any before that, but that the information had completely disappeared. The Dragons were probably the only ones who remembered.
"Roddy, do you think that the so-called 'miracle' is the one Sally showed on the Magic Tower?" Stika spun a piece of dry tree trunk between his fingers and said in a low voice, "That's just because the 'artifact' has the power of the gods. It's not the same as what the real gods use."
"Lord Morlars — oh no, I should say the former lord — once explained the so-called 'miracles' to us in an underground city left behind by the dwarves in the forest."
His words made the other Dragons look over. The major Dragons rarely communicated with each other in the past, so this kind of sharing of information was rare. Seeing that the audience was serious, Stika continued, "The dwarves used stone reliefs to record some of the 'miracles' of the 'God of Boulders' that they believed in. Among them, there were stories of a giant statue appearing overnight and a monster being directly defeated by divine power."
"Actually, it's not just the dwarves. In the early days of the High Elves, all kinds of gods performed many miracles. Not to mention digging a hole, some even dominated the situation of the war and directly defeated the enemy with divine power. "
This was added by Essien. Kardashian drew a line on the ground with her staff and said, "Later, probably during the era of the High Elves, the number and records of such miracles suddenly decreased. It was also from then on that the various religions began to gradually disappear. In the end, it almost completely disappeared. "
The history of miracles on the continent was not something everyone could talk about. In this world where information was blocked and the means of preservation were poor, although the Dragons' records of information were not very reliable, they could still be considered one of the few sources with "credibility." The dragons discussed in a low voice, which gave Roddy an "overview" of the actions of the various "gods."
He and Kardashian were the only ones in this group who had faced and communicated with a true god. However, Colsius was only one of many gods, and his words did not represent the truth. What exactly did the "Moon God" Sterian want to do, Roddy could not figure out through Colsius' way of thinking.
"What about the 'divine punishment' that Iscar mentioned before?"
"That is a kind of punishment for those who slander the gods. A member of the Dragons suffered from it once, and the result was serious injuries. It took many years of recuperation to barely recover. This should be the result of the other party saving face. "
Rubens squeezed the snow on the ground into a snowball and rubbed it in his hands. "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but this is an elder of the Black Dragon Herrlöw clan. However, he has long returned to the embrace of the Dragon God, and in the end, he did not tell anyone what it was like. "
While they were discussing about the gods in a low voice, on the other side, after collecting the corpses, the mercenaries decided to bury them on the spot. After all, the environment of the Silent Forest was dangerous, and carrying the corpses was undoubtedly looking for trouble. Louis cast a spell to dig a deep pit in the ground for burial, and then used a spell to bury the corpses. After that, as the priest, Pan Da presided over a short funeral, reciting prayers for the mercenaries and their companions from the Holy Assembly to rest in peace.
The hand holding the necklace was raised slightly, and a seemingly solid silver light spilled out, falling behind the piled graves, and gradually disappeared into the soil.
After witnessing so many miracles with their own eyes, Dewitt and the others finally understood that the priest in front of them was not one of those "scammers" they had heard about in the past. So he took the lead to kneel on one knee and said in a low voice, "The Ice Fist Mercenary Group thanks the priest for saving our lives. When we return, we will definitely tell everyone about what you have done today … "
"May the moonlight always protect you."
Pan Da nodded and accepted the gratitude. Dewitt even asked if there were any restrictions for joining the "Moon God Clan" — it was obvious that they worshiped the Moon God. Except for the two Elementalists, the other mercenaries expressed their willingness to join the "Moon God Clan" to pray for Sterian's protection.
Today, the priest Pan Da was completely different from the arcanist who was suffering from the pain of abandoning arcana a few days ago. When the miracles were performed, he also heard the voice from the distant sky in his mind. This made him completely abandon the arcana knowledge in his heart, and wholeheartedly serve the omnipotent Moon God.
"As long as you are willing, you can come at any time."
This scene did not surprise Roddy and the others. For most people, "faith" was a kind of blind obedience to the "unknown power". After settling down his team, Pan Da came to greet Julia calmly, "Captain Julia, we have successfully escaped from the forest, and the contract has been fulfilled. To tell you the truth, according to the original plan, we were going to the Wood Elf Village to settle the score. But now that we have suffered heavy losses, whether we can walk out of the forest safely depends on our luck. "
