GOR Chapter 342 Myth
Ruo Lin continued, "The land is fertile and there is plenty of rain. The climate is hot and the sun is abundant. More importantly, the island is rich in spices, gems and gold! They also rear a strange giant creature called 'elephant'! The size of the animal is huge, far bigger than a lion or a tiger. Its strength is even more powerful! "I have seen the Nanyang people domesticating these elephants before incorporating them into their army. When they are used in battle, if hundreds of them were to charge forward … the power behind their charge is indescribable! Even the most powerful cavalry would not be able to stop them in a frontal assault! "If we are to talk about its weakness, it would be its slow speed. Additionally, it is impossible to mass produce them. "Additionally … the island is too far away from us. I have no way of transporting them back. "This time, I brought four partners with me, four males and four females. Unfortunately, they are not used to the sea and only one male and three females are left alive."
Ruo Lin stood up and walked to the side of the desk. She pointed at the island and introduced it, "The Nanyang people call this island 'Brahman Island'. In the middle of the island is a place they call the Sacred Mountain. "According to legend, the Sacred Mountain would spew out flames every few hundred years. Normally, there would be faint rumbling sounds coming from the Sacred Mountain. Once there is a sound, the surrounding Sacred Mountain would shake and the birds and beasts would become frightened and lose their footing …"
Du Wei nodded his head. However, he thought to himself: What Sacred Mountain? Isn't it just a volcano? As for domesticating elephants … … war elephants. Although he had never seen one in his past life, he had at least played 'Age of Empires'.
"Brahman Island can be said to be the most densely populated place in all of Nanyang. "In fact, according to what I know, almost all of Nanyang's civilisation originated from this place. "Additionally, in recent years, the Empire has frequently launched expeditions to Nanyang, causing the tribes near the Roland Continent to move southward. As a result, the population of Brahman Island has increased. "I heard that the Sacred Mountain in the middle of Brahman Island is a sacred place in the hearts of these people. "This is related to the legends of their Gods."
After saying that, Du Wei became spirited. After all, the message left on the soles of Little Fick's feet was too shocking.
"Speaking of gods, the Nanyang people's civilization is very different from ours. Roughly speaking, their religious genealogy goes like this: In the earliest days, legend has it that on the mountain in the middle of Brahman Island, there was a temple. According to the legends of the Nanyang natives, in ancient times, there was a god living in the temple! Those gods had extraordinary magic power and lived in the temples on the mountains. At the same time, they also protected the people on the land. Whether it was tsunamis, hurricanes, or diseases, the gods in the temples would help humans get out of their predicament. I even checked the legends of the Nanyang people and found that they recorded these details in great detail. According to their legends, those gods were called the Body of Earth, the God of Wind, the God of Fire, the God of Lightning, and so on … In their beliefs, each god was divided according to their duties. Because of your request, I paid attention to these legends and finally found the source. I found that all the legends originated from the temple on the mountain. So … "
Du Wei nodded, with a trace of expectation on his face, "So you want to go up the mountain to see the temple?"
"I really thought of that. But I can't see the temple anymore. "Ruo Lin smiled bitterly," Because the temple no longer exists. "
"No longer exists?"
Ruo Lin nodded, "No longer exists. According to the local legends, in ancient times, it was said that because the people were too greedy for the blessings of the gods, they angered the gods and sent a disaster to punish the people, causing the mountain to spit out flames! At that time, the gods didn't help the people. In the flames of the mountain, according to the legends, the land within a radius of tens of miles was scorched. The legendary temple on the mountain was completely destroyed in the flames. So, the Nanyang people were terrified and thought that the gods had abandoned them and left them. "
Speaking of this, Ruo Lin smiled bitterly, "I still didn't want to give up, so I decided to go up the mountain to take a look. The locals regarded the mountain as an absolute holy land and didn't allow anyone to climb it. There were even many warriors guarding the mountain. But I still sneaked up quietly. In the end, I found nothing. There was no longer a temple on the mountain. At first, I even doubted whether the temple really existed … After all, even if there were gods in the world, it was impossible for them to live in the human world. But, the local legends were really accurate. Even if different tribes believed in different gods, the description of the temple and the mysterious' Father God 'was completely the same. "
Du Wei thought carefully, "Tell me about the 'Father God'."
"Yes, Sir!" Ruo Lin slowly said, "If the temple is the origin of all the Nanyang legends, then the Father God is the origin of all of them. According to the legends, the Father God was the guardian of the Nanyang people. He was the one who built the temple on the mountain peak of Brahman Island. Later on, there were all kinds of Fire God, Water God, Thunder God, Rain God, Wind God, and so on. They were all new gods created by him. Moreover, since the ancient times when the mountain erupted in flames and the gods punished the humans, the Father God and all the other gods disappeared. But there was still a legend in the Nanyang, that the gods had returned to the heavens. However, the Father God was merciful and didn't completely abandon his people. He left behind a line of people, the so-called Father God's line, Little Fick's line. All of them had tattoos on the soles of their feet, indicating that they represented the Father God in the human world. As for the other gods, they also left their descendants behind in the Nanyang world. They were tribes that believed in different gods … In short, the myths and legends of the Nanyang people were very messy, especially among the different gods. There seemed to be some conflicts, and they would even fight for no reason. It was a mess. I carefully sorted it out. The earliest myths and legends mainly talked about the various miracles of the Father God. But later on, it seemed that the Father God didn't appear and the myths rarely mentioned him. They only talked about the various legends of the new gods. "
After listening to this, Du Wei lowered his head and thought for a moment. Then, he suddenly grabbed a piece of paper and drew on it for a while.
After a while, he suddenly asked, "The Nanyang people have so many legends. Did they say that the so-called Father God built the temple when it was in the temple? How many years ago was the so-called 'ancient times'? A thousand years? Ten thousand years? "
This made things difficult for Rolynn. The female knight had a worried look on her face: "My Lord, I've also carefully investigated the question you asked. But unfortunately, the culture of the Nanyang people is far behind our Roland Continent. It can even be said that they are ignorant. Although the tribes on Brahman Island are much more advanced than the Tu people in the North near our Empire. But in general, most of them are still in a state of semi-barbarism. The most depressing thing is ….. the entire Nanyang people don't have a unified calendar! " At this point, Ruo Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "There are more than twenty big tribes on that island. But each tribe's calculation and record of time is completely different! The people of the Roland Continent are used to a day, a month, and a year. But when it comes to the Nanyang people, it is completely different. Some tribes will count the appearance of the sun and moon as one day. But ….. if there are a few consecutive days when the sky is covered with dark clouds and the sun and moon can't be seen, then they will think that the 'day' has not passed! Only when the sun and moon come out, then the day is considered over. But according to our Roland people's customs, who knows how many days have passed! There are also tribes that don't have the concept of 'day' at all. They only count 'generation'. This' generation 'is even more vague. Their custom is that the time when the tribe leader is in power is counted as one' generation '. If the tribe leader dies and a new tribe leader takes over, then it will be a new' generation '. But the problem is, people are born, grow old, get sick, and die. God knows how long it is or how short it is. Maybe some tribe leaders have a long life and live for seventy or eighty years, so they are counted as one 'generation'. But some tribe leaders have a short life and die in one or two years, so they are also counted as one 'generation'. There were many other weird ways to calculate the time … That was why they couldn't even be sure of the length of time, so I couldn't judge how many years ago the temple was from the present day based on their myths and legends. Some tribes say that many generations have passed ….. but who knows how many years this' generation 'is?! "
Du Wei couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
It seems that it is really difficult to judge.
But in his heart, he gradually made a guess.
"Du Wei, how are you? Are you surprised? "
Hmph! Could it be that the so-called Father God is Aragon?
Or, looking at it from another perspective.
Even now, the Nanyang people's level of civilization is still very backward. Then, a thousand years ago, in Aragon's era, they were probably even more ignorant!
After Aragon arrived in Nanyang, he ran to the volcano on Brahman Island and built a temple. He was the strongest man on the continent, so naturally, he was very resourceful. It was not surprising that the ignorant Nanyang natives mistook him for a god.
As for the so-called messy new gods in the temple ….. Wind God, Fire God, Rain God, Thunder God, and other bullshit things like that, most of them were disciples that Aragon himself had taken in and trained!
This was not difficult to guess, nor was it difficult to understand. With Aragon's ability, it was very easy for him to teach a few mages of various elements.
The things that the natives called Wind God, Fire God, Rain God, and Thunder God were probably just the wind, fire, water, and other mages that Aragon had taught!
In this way, the legend of Nanyang could be explained, and the words on the soles of Lufei's feet could also be explained.
As for later ….. the legend rarely mentioned "Father God", probably Aragon left that place, or ….. he died. Both were possible.
And after losing this Father God, the disciples that Aragon had trained were naturally not as powerful as Aragon. In the end, they all died in a volcanic eruption. It was not that the gods punished the humans and abandoned them. But the volcanic eruption, those mages in the temple could not resist it, either they all died, or they scattered like birds and beasts ….. It was also reasonable for them to wander among the people and disperse.
Even …..
Du Wei's heart suddenly moved. Even, thinking deeper, why did Aragon go to Nanyang to build a temple? Run to bless those ignorant aborigines? These questions, Du Wei could not guess ….. After all, although he was Aragon, before the memory of his previous life awakened, he could not answer these questions himself.
As for ….. the volcanic eruption …..
Du Wei frowned and thought for a while. If there was a group of mages in the temple, a mere volcanic eruption might not be able to kill all of them. Even ….. it could be that bitch, the Goddess of Light, who did it!
These things could be thought about slowly in the future.
Du Wei put away the map, and suddenly a thought came to his mind: Perhaps, if there was a chance, he should go to Nanyang to see that Brahman Island?
Then he looked at Ruo Lin: "Let's talk about the legend here. Tell me, how much did the United Kingdom of Nanyang pay for the ransom of their little king? How many good things did you bring back for me this time? "
Speaking of this topic, Ruo Lin smiled …..
At this moment, her smile was even a bit similar to Du Wei's. Just like when Du Wei was scheming on a daily basis, so sinister and cunning …..
"Sir." Ruo Lin smiled slightly: "When I went this time, I brought a total of more than 30 ships. Before I went out to sea, I thought of ways to get more ships. In the end, our fleet reached a total of 80 ships! In a year's time, due to storms, submerged reefs, and some accidents during the voyage, we lost three ships. This time, I brought back a total of 77 ships! This time, I brought 20 ships to the Imperial Capital, but the majority of the fleet is still at Walker Port on the southeast coast of the mainland. Moreover, because the Lancang Canal is too narrow, all of the largest ships could not sail in, so they were all docked at Walker Port. Because the harvest this time was too great. I really could not bring all of them to the Imperial Capital in one go ….. "
Du Wei's heart started to beat violently …..
"Too great a harvest? How great is it? "
