Chapter 277: Chapter 0277: Revelation (Seeking guaranteed monthly tickets at the beginning of the month!)
Translator: 549690339
“Praise be to you…the noble Mother Earth Goddess…”
“You are the harbinger of all…Mother of the Earth…the controller of the power of life…the mysterious nurturer…”
“You bless us with a harvest…bless us with food…”
A group of devout followers, are worshipping the ‘Mother Earth Goddess’!
This is one of the Seven Major Orthodox in the Main World!
A true divine being!
Su Lu’s pupils suddenly contracted, “Not only are the prayers similar, even the altar rules and mysterious symbols are the same…this is no mere coincidence. It represents that this world also has faith in the Mother Earth Goddess!”
“There are two possibilities. The first one is that I’m still in the Main World, but on a smaller scale…because whether it’s the Twilight of Gods or the differences in the Spirit World, everything is already clear.”
“And the second possibility…is my previous vague theory. The gods are not in the Main World, but are located in the depths of the Spirit World! Their domains are the highest stars in the Spirit World, their glory illuminating many worlds…spreading faith in different dimensions!”
Gods… exist independently of the world! To them, the followers of one world are nothing more than ants!
Even the Main World may only be a remote and impoverished area in the eyes of the gods!
If this speculation were to be made public, countless believers in the Main World could collapse!
However, reality is reality! It will not change due to arrogant confidence or anything else.
“Are you a follower of the Mother Earth Goddess?”
Alick asked Su Lu, who had stopped.
Fully aware of the terrifying issue of faith, Su Lu responded with a smile, let Alick come to his own conclusion. “Let’s go on, I’m very tired and I want to rest.”
In fact, he was very curious about the faith of these natives, but he was unable to continue exploring.
‘To be specific…if this were the Main World, a group of people praying in Gulam Language would likely cause some anomalies!’
‘After all, it’s a language that can communicate with the mysterious, calling the great name of existence!’
‘But in this world, during the Twilight of Gods, even though the Gulam Language is considered to be the oldest language, its ‘weight’ is still too light. It can’t leverage the mysterious forces of nature and it can’t establish a real connection with the Mother Earth Goddess…’
As Su Lu pondered, he signaled Alick that it was okay for them to continue on their way.
Alick’s face turned grim, he led the way to a wooden house.
He opened the wooden door, and inside it was dark. The light filtering through the cracks allowed him to vaguely see some belongings and barrels.
One area of the floor was slightly elevated and covered in straw and animal fur.
“This is your room! Bread, salt, and bean soup will be served shortly.”
Alick said.
“It’s already very good, thank you!”
Su Lu nodded.
Although the conditions here are almost as bad as a pigsty, it is comparable to the dwellings around, and it should be the standard for the poor in this world.
Furthermore, regardless of how one looks at it, it’s much better than sleeping in the wilderness.
The main course or staple food for dinner was a loaf of black bread, which was very hard as it likely contained a lot of bran.
In addition, there was a small dish of coarse salt which could be used for dipping the bread, but seeing the black and yellow color mixed with sand, Su Lu lost his appetite, and ended up forcedly consuming just a little bit of pea soup to fill his stomach.
“Although I knew that the productivity of this world is low, I didn’t think it was this dire… Looking at the astonished and delighted face of the woman cleaning up the kitchen, this might be considered a lavish meal in her eyes?”
Noticing the sky hadn’t completely darkened, Su Lu got up, planning to take a stroll around the village.
It’s false to say that he wouldn’t be curious after arriving in a whole new world.
Moreover, this world isn’t entirely devoid of magic. During the Twilight of the Gods, the power of the transcendent only falls into a slump, but it doesn’t completely disappear!
The roads in the entire Ward Village were ragged and narrow, and the villagers were very wary of outsiders. The children were called into the houses, and Su Lu could feel many gazes peeping at him through the gaps.
After just half a turn, he felt it was boring. He did not go back to the altar of the Mother Earth Goddess but headed to the only large and flat area in the village, which should be a field for drying grains.
At the site, the militia team seen during the day and some young boys were training.
Alick held a wooden stick, acting the part of a strict instructor: “Now, the hardships endured are not for me, but for yourselves!”
“If you want to go to Wolf Fort and live a prosperous life, then you must work hard in your training… This is your only chance!”
“Even if it’s not to change your fate, merely to protect yourself in times of danger, you also need to strive hard!”
“When war comes, our village has a duty to fight for the Duke. Do you want to die on the battlefield? Tell me, you wimps, do you wish to die on the battlefield?”
By the end, Alick was shouting almost hoarsely.
“No, we do not!”
A group of drenched boys maintaining their training roared in response.
“Good, now we’ll continue to review yesterday’s technique…”
Alick nodded satisfactorily: “Remember, it’s a triangle, the power starts from the lower abdomen! When moving, get your calf involved, feel the power of the earth!”
“Now… thrust!”
“Ha!”
A group of people imitated the attack posture with wooden swords, which seemed somewhat assertive.
Su Lu’s eyes twitched.
This kind of strength training might be rudimentary, but it had already reached the category of fighting skills. Unexpectedly, he encountered this in a small village.
“Continue, swing your swords a hundred times!”
Alick scanned the crowd, corrected the postures of a few boys, and saw Su Lu when he raised his head.
He gave another command and came to the edge of the threshing field: “Outsider, what are you doing here?”
“Bored… just wandering around…”
Nonchalantly, Su Lu commented: “This kind of training… is pretty good.”
“I learned these techniques from the military… they come from a prestigious knight. I once had the chance to become his attendant, a pity…”
Alick shook his head with disappointment, suddenly asked: “Are you interested in giving it a try?”
“Try what, swordsmanship?”
Su Lu chuckled, almost speechless.
“As a wanderer, you must have good self-preservation skills!” Alick said seriously.
“Perhaps so…but I don’t have a sword.”
Su Lu shrugged.
“You can borrow mine.”
Alick handed his own sword. Its design took that of a two-handed cross sword, both the hilt and the blade were long, suitable for two-hand wielding and quite heavy.
“Not bad!”
Su Lu just took the sword, flicked the blade, and came to a wooden stake used for normal training. Drawing a breath, he executed an attractive whirl.
Phht!
A flash of the blade, and the wooden stake was cut short.
“Such an amazing power… He must be on the level of a knight’s attendant, right?”
Alick seemed to have been shocked speechless, only managing to utter a few words after a long while.
Such power, such speed, was already quite terrifying. Capable of cutting a wooden stake, it could also split a human body!
“Thank you for loaning me your sword.”
Su Lu returned the cross sword to Alick and looking at the awestruck faces around him, he chuckled.
Taking the initiative to show off his strength would save him from many troubles.
