Chapter 335 Starfall VI
After confirming that he would take action on the birthday celebration, Fang Yu's work paused and became leisurely. The copying of library materials was basically over. It was the first time he took the time to visit the city. Although he had almost traveled up and down to every place where people gathered in the city, his feelings were naturally very different under different mentality.
Unlike Tansnier's clear structure, with the beauty of an organized desert port, this ancient king of Istani is more of a profound historical weight.
The Namenian Rock Mountain, which shines with platinum, has protected this chosen land of Istanien since a long time.
The two rivers gather here and allude to the oasis country above the dunes. As early as the division between ignorance and civilization, the people of the desert and the people of the plains each set foot on this land, and were also recognized by the masters and elves on the earth after the Cinsas era.
They participated in the war of the previous era and grew stronger after this war. Although they finally had a period of time to forge swords with blood and fire, they finally got back together and shook hands and made peace. However, the thousand-year-old desert blocked the two places, and Istani still left a culture different from Kaurin.
Even as an outsider, Fang Yu could still clearly detect this.
He did not tell anyone else about the experiences of the past two days.
Prince Alev was busy with his own affairs, and perhaps he did not realize that he had not gone to Wangli Library in the past two days.
Bishop Farris seemed to be letting himself go, as the other party said, without interfering with any of his actions at all. Although he would occasionally mention the past, miracles and doctrines of the Goddess, it was like a narration to a non-believers who were somewhat interested in Marland, and did not involve much religious content.
Fang Yu had actually heard of those ancient stories. Of course, it was very different to a professional clergyman, which enriched many details he had not known before. But seriously, Fang Yu was just like listening to a story or a period of history, but in fact he didn't feel much in his heart.
Maybe there will be some resistance—
As Faris said, the human heart changes with the flow of time, and so is the God produced by people's faith.
Although he did not criticize his predecessors from the height of history to eat raw meat and drink blood, Fang Zhu would not think that the bloody killings in history were really a champion.
He even believed that there might be more than one Marland goddess in history. After all, the priesthood of killing was discarded after the Giant War and disappeared into the long river of history. Since then, he has gained the realm of justice and courage from the priesthood of war.
Next was a long religious reform, the old and the new, and endless struggle. Until the Protestants took power, a new goddess was born from the ashes, and she was deified from the war of the past to the Lady of Justice today. Olin's God only had such transformations to more or less after the last war of gods, and the change was even more profound than that of Aitalia himself.
The ancient kingdom of slavery disappeared, replaced by a new civilization under the elves' education - Kaurin-Ishurien, Oshu and Rotao, the civilized civilization and the ignorant past passed by. Now, in only a few places like Istaniya, the remnants of the past can still be seen.
But today's civilization may also be the barbarity of the future. Mortals are progressing in the process of continuous replacement, as is the case with Aitalia and the earth. But there are more things here that are inexplicable, and the so-called Gods of Orin may be like this.
There were already heavy twilights hanging in the sky, like fire, and the purple-red rays penetrated the evening of the desert.
Then the sky gradually faded, like a change from light green to deep blue, fading layer by layer, causing the cliffs of Namenia to be dyed with silvery brilliance, and it reflects the color of this quiet sea of sand - this ocean covered with silver sand.
Under the dark and quiet sky, the sky bent, causing the stars that shining like diamonds to descend. They seemed to fall between this mortal world and turned into a brighter brilliance, gathered on the sand dunes, and were like flowing rivers - it was the thousands of lights of this city - it was named Questak, which means "the place of bright lights" in Istani.
For thousands of years, it has become a lighthouse and a culture of desert people has emerged.
Fang Zhu stood in the courtyard of the temple, quietly watching the changing tones of the sky until the sky was so deep that it could no longer be guessed with its eyes. The stars were dotted with the silver moon was rising, and the curved vision was like an unfathomable ancient well - reminding him of the well of the goddess of fate.
Are the stars in this well the heroes in history?
He suddenly didn't know whether it was an offense to think of the name of another goddess in Ms. Marlan's kingdom?
However, there was a quiet surroundings, with only the sound of insects. It seemed that Ms. Justice didn't seem to care about this level of offense. Fang Yu lowered his head, but still couldn't figure out what his relationship with the goddess Marland was. The tolerance shown by the Marland Temple made him feel at a loss.
Do you really don’t care about Ms. Marlan’s favor and the lady’s temple at all? What’s the point of such religious beliefs?
If the goddess can really see something, then what exactly does she want him to do?
Is this so-called God-selected One really only benefits but no obligation?
Fang Yu never believed that there was such a good thing in this world.
But he couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think about it. He was still himself and would never do anything against his own heart. As for Ms. Marlan, whether he cared about him or not, what did he have to do with him?
After communicating this point, Fang Zhu became a little more thorough and no longer had random thoughts.
He then put on his coat and prepared to go out.
The celebration begins after 9:30, and the summer nights in Istaniya are coming later than in the north.
The exit of the temple of Marland is on the other side of the courtyard, and then passes through the side hall and passes through the main hall hall. When passing through the hall, Fang Ling saw Bishop Faris commanding several new apprentices to clean the altar, clean up the statues and replace the holy paintings. The celebrations later begin, there will be celebrations in the temple of Marland, and many believers will come here.
Bishop Farris turned around and saw him, and suddenly called him: "Mr. Ed."
Fang Yu was stunned, and couldn't help but stop, looking at the other party and asked:
"What's wrong, Bishop Farris?"
Faris put down the holy artifact in his hand and slowly placed it on the table beside him - he was also old and no longer as young as he was strong, as short as three years or as long as five years, the other party would leave the parish. At that time, Ms. Marland would naturally choose a new Godly Choice to replace him.
Of course, the goddess will not treat her loyal servants with a long time to pursue her faith until she enters the Kingdom of God that she has been pursuing for a long time. But by that time, Fang Yu thought that he might have left this world and returned to the earth.
"Mr. Ed is going to attend the celebration?"
This celebration is of great significance to the Questaks.
It is not only the birth of Babaltan, the king of the sand, but also the founding day of the Istani people. In the early years, when the Penelope royal family was not justified, it was used to promote this matter a lot. The subtext naturally means that the Penelope family inherited the sacred and legal authority of Istaniya.
But for an outsider and a senior clergy, these things need not be mentioned.
Fang Zhu nodded.
Of course he attended this celebration not to watch the fun. Although he also liked to join in the fun, how could he feel like this at this time? Everything tonight was naturally prepared for that plan, and even took action - if possible. But Bishop Faris seemed to see this and said:
“It’s still some time before the celebration begins, how about we talk about it?”
Fang Yu estimated the time and nodded again. He had lived in the temple for so long, and food and accommodation were free. Out of etiquette, of course, he was embarrassed to be impatient.
"Are you still running around for the big princess these days?"
After hearing this, Fang Rong couldn't help but remain silent for a moment, but in the end, he chose to admit frankly: "...not all, but actually it's more for his own business."
He lived in the temple for a long time. If the other party wanted to tell him, he might have not left Bein yet. Since this was not the case, there was nothing to worry about. He told him about his affairs in Tansneer and the matter of the Seven Seas Brigade - his activities in the capital were nothing more than just to determine the safety of his own people.
Although these words sound a bit unkind, Fang Ling always felt that the bishop was acting in front of him, that is, the other party seemed to support him and help the eldest princess.
He even suspected for a time that he could enter and exit the Marland Temple for this reason.
Perhaps this is exactly what Ms. Marland is intended.
Although he couldn't figure out what was going on here, when the old bishop asked, he chose to admit it frankly.
Because sometimes speaking clearly can help make things simple.
He also received favors from the other party when he left Beiyin. Of course, he did not want the two parties to make the relationship apart due to misunderstandings afterwards. Of course, this was mainly because of the character of the old bishop in front of him. If he was in front of someone like the Wanderer, Fang Yu would still be running the train with his mouth full of words.
But he thought Bishop Faris would at least hesitate for a moment or frown, but he didn't expect that the old man looked as usual, as if he didn't care.
"Then I think you can rest assured." The other party even comforted him, "This matter would not involve the Saint Selected Ones, your companions should be fine."
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment before nodding slowly.
"Maybe," he replied, "but I can't let go. As the leader, I have to do something."
"What's more, as your employer, do you think you should bear some responsibility to her?" the old man asked.
Fang Yu was stunned again and did not understand what the other party's words meant.
"What advice do the Archbishop have?" Fang Yu asked.
Faris smiled. "I have been in contact with Mr. Ed for a while. I can roughly see what kind of person Mr. Ed is. And as a believer of the goddess, I naturally believe in the quality of the person chosen by the goddess. This is a private matter of the Penelope royal family, and the temple does not intend to intervene, so there is no way to give advice-"
"So--?"
"The attack on the princess in the past is well known to everyone in Istani, and it is not a secret," Faris said again: "Last time I told you about the King of Sands, so I don't need to repeat it this time, but since Mr. Ed is interested in this, how about I tell you about the princess?"
Fang Zhu gradually calmed down.
He looked at the busy people in the hall, and seemed to have forgotten the celebration for a moment, and asked quietly: "Is there anything strange about that princess?"
He thought of the notes that His Highness the Princess handed him to him for a moment.
That note he had seen once in his uncle's study when he was very young.
The princess who had collected such a strange note would have some stories on her. In fact, he had such a feeling at that time. But he had too few clues, so of course His Royal Highness and the princess's family would not let him investigate, so it was left unresolved in the end. But at this moment, the Archbishop's words suddenly aroused the memories in his heart.
"The princess is indeed a bit strange."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting contents later! Faris slowly replied: "This is not a royal secret. These so-called rumors are widely circulated in Questak, some are true and false, but some are too absurd and rarely leave this ancient city. However, this is true. The eldest princess' biological mother is of a good origin and has a prominent surname. However, she herself is probably an alien among the noble daughters of Istaniya. In the eyes of the Istani, it is not entirely wrong to say that she is a rebellious-"
"She went to Korlin in her early years, met some adventurers, and was familiar with the Selected Ones. There were even rumors that she had participated in an adventure group - of course, the latter statement was not very credible, because no matter how deviant she was, she still had to care about the opinions of the family."
"But it is probably because of such a noble girl that she can look down on the Penelope family, which is also rebellious in the eyes of the world. You must know that in the era when Princess Rupert's grandfather was alive, the nobles who were noble and nobles who were noble at the high end might not be able to look down on this new king."
"There are many stories about the princess and the king of sand, some of which are quite romantic. There are rumors that the princess' family originally planned to marry her sister to Babaltan, but later they met by an accidental encounter. Until they fell in love, all the stories that followed came into being."
"But when the princess was alive, she did have a deep relationship with the King of Sands. The two of them had two daughters, namely His Highness, the Grand Princess and her young sister today."
Fang Yu couldn't help but think of two Afeifa.
Is that really just a coincidence?
However, he had heard these stories once in the Great Princess. In the bishop's previous narrative, the rebellious girl, the noble daughter who yearned for adventure, surprised him a little. But that's the case. If it weren't for this, how could the other party have such a strange note?
But Bishop Faris suddenly talked about this to himself, what is the meaning?
He couldn't help but look at the other person, and the old man's eyes were deep but a little deep:
"Ten years ago, the princess suddenly passed away, and this incident caused a stir in Istaña..."
"Babaltan, the king of sand, took this opportunity to uproot several ancient families and establish the authority of the new king..."
"But it was a blind follower who was directly involved and had not been completely eradicated... Mr. Ed, do you remember that when you first came here?"
Fang Yu was slightly stunned and immediately recalled the incident.
The elves's creation technique.
The secret of eternal life.
"Bike Faris, you mean," he paused slightly: "The King of Sand intends to use the blind follower to realize the almost fantasy method of resurrection of the dead... But this is indeed impossible, and even a 'miracle' is not considered a lie, it is just a lie..."
"…Alchemy seems to be similar to the eternal secret pursued by blind followers, especially the method of creation of the Noumerlin elves, both of which are almost on the same path."
"but……"
Fang Yu himself has learned ancient alchemy and has also understood the use of the art of creation, and has a deep understanding of it. But he also knew that the two only seem to be similar on the surface, but in fact they are completely opposite and go against the truth.
The creation of alchemy is not about making something out of nothing, it just changes the way of material existence in this world, and the ether that intervenes in it is the price that must be paid - the so-called equivalent exchange, all of which are like this.
In Aitalia, if one of the people dies, the starry light will immediately disappear, and the existing soul will return to the origin of this world. We must reorganize the "person" that once existed from the endless starry light. Is this shaped "life" really the original soul?
He was only shocked when he heard the news.
However, it is probably not surprising that blind followers do anything.
After a few days of restoration, he only felt a faint sense of absurdity in his heart. Perhaps this was why Babaltan cooperated with those blind followers. It sounded like it could reasonably explain everything he had seen before, but this kind of "reasonable" was even a bit ridiculous to Fang Yu.
Faris seemed to have not seen his expression and spoke slowly:
"This matter is almost an open secret. The sorcerers want to use the King of Sands to return to the center of power, and Nurman is just because of his foolish loyalty..."
"But I know that the King of Sands himself should be quite sober and has not fallen too deeply in this matter. He used those people just with a glimmer of hope..."
"But when it's time to take revenge, he will never be lenient."
Fang Zhu looked at the other party: "Is this why the Temple did not intervene?"
"Of course not," Faris replied, "The Temple has been investigating the whereabouts of blind followers, but it is difficult to catch their feet with the cover of the King of Sands."
Fang Yu suddenly reacted: "Is this the Goddess' purpose?"
However, unexpectedly, Faris shook his head: "This is the duty of the believers of Marland, how could it be pushed to others?"
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment: "Then the bishop told me what these are?"
Faris glanced at him, but asked a question that Fang Ling had unexpectedly said: "Mr. Ed, for what purpose did you agree to the eldest princess to investigate the princess's affairs?"
