Chapter 495 Herris, Don't Do Anything (Two in One)

Laren, the Oneiroi, was not alone in his actions.

In fact, almost the entire kingdom of the gods is in action in response to the arrival of the new age.

Similar to birds flying separately when disaster is approaching, gods of different sects have their different appeals. They convey oracles and announce revelations, just to realize their visions.

In the Golden Temple, there seems to be an unspoken consensus that as long as which faction succeeds first, the rest of the gods will obey without complaint.

Every god stood at this fork in the road, and Heris, the creator of dwarves and giants, was no exception.

However, Herris, like many gods, hesitated at the intersection and never moved forward.

He expressed his hidden worries to Death,

"Nakbet, you don't know how much I envy you. Your underworld after death stands in the celestial kingdom, not on the earth. There is almost no need to face the torrent of the times. No matter how the outside world changes, your country has never changed. .”

Nakbet replied:
"I'm very glad that I'm the God of Death, and I'm also very glad that I didn't create a race like you, and work hard on it."

Harris said:

"Don't say that, for so many years, I have heard them praise me, and I have seen them establish their great foundation and develop from a small tribe to several kingdoms. This kind of happiness is incomparable to countless things."

Although Herris made an excuse, Nakbet was right in saying that he had really worked hard during this period of time.

Herris belongs to the school that leads mortals to the path of divine creation, but he is not the main character in it, and he is not determined to realize the vision.

Like countless gods, he has doubts about whether mortals can grasp that power.

"I often wonder, what am I supposed to do? What is the better path for my creation?"

Harris poured out his worries.

"So have you made up your mind?"

Nakbet asked aloud.

Harris shook his head, bitterly and helplessly said:

"No, not yet. I still can't make a decision, and I don't even dare to answer someone's prayer. I'm afraid that my words will push countless people into the abyss of eternal doom."

When Nakbet heard this, after thinking for a moment, he said surprisingly:
"Then...why don't do anything."

These words surprised Herris, and he was puzzled.

"Harris, you should do nothing.

They beg and you don't answer, they pray and you don't listen...whatever to do, let your creatures do it, let them make their own choices.In this way, you will not push countless people into the abyss just because of your words. If they do fall into the abyss one day, it is their own choice. "

Belvan knelt down on one knee in front of King Kraft VI, presenting his carefully revised manuscript to the king of Calrond.

Beside Kafu VI stands the heir of the kingdom, Prince Mulla.

"Belvan, it seems that you have finally made some achievements."

Kraft VI spoke loudly, he seemed to be in a happy mood.

Before Belvan's audience, the king heard about the promotion ceremony from his prince, and the changes of Belvan after the promotion ceremony. Such a success made the keen and wise king quickly realize that Belvan What exactly can the study of this matter bring to the entire kingdom.

That would be... an incomparable boost, like the sharpest magic weapon in the entire kingdom.

With this power, coupled with the "Book of Mechanics", King Kraft VI may be able to realize the long-cherished wish of his clan's ancestors for generations - to regain the Helong Mountain Range.

That area is rich in various minerals such as silver, nickel ore, iron ore, coal, and so on. For this race, it has incomparably great significance.

It's just that the Helong Mountains were lost to the invasion of orcs 300 years ago. Karl Londo had launched many crusades, hoping to regain the lost land, but was repelled time and time again by the strong and brave orcs.

However, the Helong Mountain Range will not always belong to the orcs. 100 years ago, the Helong Mountain Range changed hands again. The human kingdom Golan defeated the orc tribes in the Helong Mountain Range and incorporated the Helong Mountain Range into its own territory.

After that, although the dwarf kingdom Calrond sent envoys to the Kingdom of Golan many times, asking humans to return the Helong Mountains and offering many compensations, they were all rejected by humans. There was constant friction.

Kaf VI slowly stood up from the throne, and he walked up to Belvan himself, helped the scholar up from the ground,

"I knew that you would succeed. Mulla has always believed in you. He is my best son."

Belvan smiled and said:

"I am very fortunate that such a prince can become my student."

When it came to this, Belfan changed the subject and asked straightforwardly:
"Your Majesty, what are you going to do with my manuscript?"

How to deal with Belvan's research is exactly where the difference between Belvan and the king lies, and the reason why Belvan asked the question directly at this moment is because the dialogue between the dwarves is very direct and will not hide it.

"I have my plan..."

Speaking, Kafu VI felt that such words were too perfunctory, so he added:

"A great plan... Do you know the mechanical capital in the "Book of Mechanics"?"

Belvan nodded. He had heard that in the "Book of Mechanics", several pages described a giant city made of gears, steam, and steel.

"I am working hard in this direction, and our kingdom is also moving in this direction, growing stronger under the blessing of Herris.

For this, we need a strong national power, equipment far superior to human beings, abundant resources, and...a vast territory.

I will be generously supporting you and the craftsmen who study steam technology until we achieve this goal, so if you want to make your research public, I am sorry to wait a while. "

What Kaf VI said was very clear. The king was unwilling to make Belvan's research on the path of divine creation public, so as to gain an advantage over other kingdoms and other races.

Belvan took a deep breath, he had expected this answer a long time ago:
"Your Majesty, if you insist on doing this, then I have nothing to say.

It's just... I just discovered the existence of the path of divine creation, not an invention.And it is only a matter of time before others discover it, and these things are often beyond your will.

But now, I need the assistance of other people. My ability alone is limited, and I am afraid that I will not be able to go further in this field. If I can't continue to study in depth, then at the current level, I will be overtaken by other races who are familiar with ancient sayings. thing. "

Kraft VI frowned, Belvan's words made sense.

Dwarves are not a race that understands and uses ancient sayings. In this regard, they can only be compared with orcs. They are far inferior to humans and three-eyed apes, let alone elves.

And other races may also independently discover the path of divine creation. Based on those races' understanding of the ancient sayings, it is not difficult to overtake Belvan's achievements.

After weighing the pros and cons, Kraft VI slowly made a decision,
"Well, then, I will find well-known scholars from various clans, and I will also send people to Deschanel's academy to invite several professors and doctors to assist you in your research.

Of course, I'll check them out beforehand, and you'll be careful not to reveal the full results. "

Belvan heaved a sigh of relief when he received Kraft VI's answer.

As a scholar, he is eager to make the way of divine creation known to the world, but speaking directly like before will definitely not make Kraft VI nod.

Therefore, Belvan gave a reason why Kraft VI had to nod.

In this way, after the arrival of those scholars, the research on the Way of Divine Creation will not only be accelerated a lot, but will also spread in various countries at a speed visible to the naked eye.

And it is not that the dwarf kingdom Karlrond will benefit from it. Belvan feels that if nothing goes wrong, Karlrond will become one of the academic centers for studying the path of divine creation in one fell swoop.

Thinking of this, Belfan, as a scholar, couldn't help clenching his fists and became excited.

"Hey, have you heard? His Majesty the King seems to be promoting something called a steam train across the country."

"It's steam again, Herris, stop that self-righteous king!"

"There are too many steam things, too many, that kind of things are beyond our control!"

………………

In a gorgeous garden, several dwarf artisans gathered together. They wore toga robes, enjoying fine wine while talking about the current king, Kraft VI.

Gorgeous flower gardens, toga robes, wine... In the tone of a dwarf, these are all human things.

Due to the edification of human culture, the aristocratic customs of the human kingdom have also been transmitted to the dwarf kingdom. In the upper gold and silver clan of Karrond, all kinds of human things are regarded as elegant models.

And these dwarves craftsmen were born in the gold and silver clan among the dwarves, namely the three clans of blue gold, auri crystal, and gray silver.

The status of these three major clans in the kingdom is second only to the Xiongjin clan of the current royal family.

There is no doubt that they are the nobles among the dwarves.

"The changes are coming so fast, these steam technologies are spreading like the plague!"

A dwarf craftsman stood up, rubbed his beard and said,

"The king can no longer be allowed to go on like this. You don't know how panicked and turbulent our people are."

The other people present nodded their heads one after another. They all knew that the panic and turmoil were not limited to the Gold and Silver Clan.

In the entire kingdom, with the implementation of steam technologies such as steam hydraulic forging hammers, various clans and classes in the entire kingdom began to surge undercurrents.

There are countless clans whose living space has been ruthlessly compressed due to the emergence of steam technology.

Some of them make a living by mining, and the steam technology has made the mines that have survived for generations either cause huge redundancy of manpower, or are quickly exhausted due to over-exploitation, so that they have to compete for the territory of other clans; Forging steel for a living, steam technology caused them to lose their original jobs on a large scale, and finally the entire clan had to go into exile...

Under the surface of Kraft VI's grand ambitions using steam technology, there is a gradually turbulent kingdom.

And all of this is due to the appearance of the Book of Mechanics and the great admiration of it by King Kraft VI.

Few people doubt that the Book of Mechanics is a sacred object bestowed by Herris, but this does not mean that everyone agrees to use the various technologies in it.

"That Mushi clan, they are too arrogant. It is said that a few days ago, the son of their patriarch actually expressed his love to one of our clansmen in public."

A dwarf artisan sitting on a chair said angrily.

The Book of Mechanics is the sacred object of Heris, which is unquestionable, but... the Wood and Stone clan who presented the Book of Mechanics is not beyond doubt.

Even though at the beginning, everyone treated the clan who brought the Book of Mechanics with respect, but with the development of steam technology, people's fears began to emerge, and under the hatred of the house, the Wood and Stone clan became the object of people's dissatisfaction.

In addition, since the Wood and Stone Clan ascended to the upper class, relying on the king's care, they have become more and more domineering day by day, and even His Majesty the King has some criticisms.

Just as the dwarves craftsmen gathered to discuss, at the edge of the garden, the owner of the party was walking slowly, followed by a human priest.

"It seems that everyone has complained about it."

The middle-aged dwarf said loudly that his name was Alaire Huiyin, and he was the elder of the Huiyin clan.

"Alaire, which distinguished guest have you brought?"

A dwarf got up and saluted.

"Let me introduce to you, this is the priest who serves the God of Dreams. His name is Nelson Fowle. He came all the way from Rochelle because he had heard the decree of the Dream God."

As Alaire's words fell, the dwarf nobles present all focused their eyes on the priest.

Hearing the decree of the gods...

What a solemn statement this is.

There are tens of thousands of priests in the world, but who has really listened to the decrees of the gods?
"Forgive my doubts, did he really listen? How can that be proven?"

A dwarf craftsman couldn't help asking.

Hearing this, Allaire made a "please" gesture to Nelson.

Nelson paced forward, then raised the priest's staff in his hand.

Following his deep prayer, a purple light burst out from the top of the priest's staff, and suddenly, lavender mist appeared out of nowhere.

In the flower garden, the dwarves who came into contact with the lavender mist suddenly felt drowsy and about to fall asleep before they had time to be surprised.

At this moment, Nelson slowly put down the priest's staff, restraining the light in it and the dream grace bestowed by the dream god Laren.

"Is this enough to prove the words of Elder Alaire?"

Nelson smiled slightly.
