Chapter 58 The Logosians Are Children of God

Another century has passed.

For the extremely long-lived Logosians, 100 years is neither short nor long.

The mother died within 100 years, and Tertullian became even more reticent.

Since both his parents left, he has learned to isolate himself from the world, to stand on the sidelines and watch the whole kingdom grow more prosperous every year.

Under the rule of his brother Jalesto, who is king, the Kingdom of Logos is far more glorious today than it was during the reign of King Sabor.

Today, with the prosperity of agriculture and animal husbandry, the kingdom has grown into a country with nearly 10 people living there. The Logos people have formed multiple city-states, and towns and cities have sprung up following the fences that divide farmland.

In the Kingdom of Logos, social changes emerged endlessly among the Logos people. Under the leadership of King Alesto, the simplified characters from paintings were first used in sacrifices, but over time Gradually spreading to every Logosian.

People carved characters on the clay tablets, and then fired the carved clay tablets to preserve them forever.As a side effect, bricks and tiles were discovered by the Logos and soon adorned the streets and alleys.

The Logos, in need of so many clay tablets, began to excavate the mountains of the kingdom, so that, 40 years ago, they found copper in the soil.

The elders and wise men loved copper very much, and promoted copper as a gift from the gods. This concept quickly spread in the Kingdom of Logos.

So over the years, the Logos people began to smelt brass on a large scale. Although they did not have the know-how, the size of the brass produced could only be used for decoration or sacrificial ritual vessels, but this is undoubtedly the best proof of the prosperity of civilization.

In addition, with the affluence of life, the Logos people with long pointed ears also invented many musical instruments. Their hearing is excellent, and it is difficult to tolerate musical flaws. Hundreds of musicians arose who were both outstanding musicians and craftsmen who built instruments.

Trade also flourished naturally within the kingdom, and people bartered, with wheat and leather being the most popular in this process.

The Logos people hired people to help them in trade and deal with things big and small. What's more, they hired people for life, and the father's debt was paid by the son. The group of slaves, responding to the needs of the kingdom, naturally appeared on the land.

Tertullian saw that his brother Alesto, who was king, was called a good king among all peoples because of his efforts to govern and his spirit.

Also the son of a prophet, Alesto was so great and enjoyed countless honors and reputations that even Tertullian was sometimes proud of his only remaining relatives.

Tertullian heard from other priests that Alesto would summon the elders and wise men of the country to engrave the deeds of the past on a piece of white and smooth marble and compile the first history book of the entire civilization.

This history book will be recorded from the age of ape-man. It first tells the story of drinking blood as a beast, and then when the gods came suddenly, the ancestors of the Logos people began to have language and rationality...

Immediately afterwards, it will tell about the betrayal of King Sabo, the difficult trek with the prophet and his son, and finally when the end comes, God listens to the call and saves the world.

The history books will temporarily record here, and Alesto will not record the departure and decline of God.

When this stele is completed, the Logos civilization will turn a new page.

Tertullian watched on, as always.

The Prophet's second son always remembered his identity as a hunter.

However... the kingdom no longer needs hunters to risk their way into the forest, no longer needs hunters to fight prehistoric beasts, no longer needs large areas of divided hunting territories.

Most of the hunters who once gained glory in hunting now only exist in legends.

Civilization moved forward, and those who pioneered the kingdom were left behind.

As a hunter, Tertullian felt that he was out of place in this increasingly prosperous kingdom.

The more prosperous the kingdom is, the less it can find a foothold.

In the law garden, Tertullian leaned against the wall, stroking the leaves in his arms, which he brought down from the mountains 200 years ago.

Tertullian was lost in memory; he had not thrown a spear for indefinitely long time.

He used to be the most outstanding member of the hunters, and he once dreamed of becoming a brave and skilled hunter like Sabo.

But now, the strength of the past is still on him, but it has long since lost its use.

Thousands of words, finally condensed into one sentence.

"God... where are you?"

The era when God favored us, the era when hunters opened up the kingdom... where is it?

Did the age of spear-throwing leave with God?Gone forever?

Over the past hundred years, Deltullian and Antinone have climbed mountains countless times, and found nothing countless times, as if the gods have really left, and together with that era, they have become irretrievable memories.

After 100 years, Antinon finally accepted the fact that God really left.

For hundreds of years, Antinon offered sacrifices sincerely, pondered the laws of the world, and the less he saw God, the more pious he became. He expected to see God on the mountain every time, but God never responded to his expectations.

When he climbed to the top of the mountain for the last time, facing the almost empty scene, the young priest persisted until his almost paranoid spirit finally collapsed.

God is gone.

At that time, Yaer, who witnessed the decline and death of the gods, felt as if he had experienced a hurricane, and all the leaves of the spiritual forest withered.

And now, almost coincidentally,

Antinon, the priest of the Law Garden, was lost, and he could no longer find the meaning of being a priest.

Now that God is gone, God is no more.

Why should our sacrifices be made, in which direction should the law be explored, and to whom should those devout sacrifices be dedicated?

no god...

The presence of the Logos...

It seems to have lost its proper meaning and suddenly fell into a nothingness.

Antinon looked at the ignorant priests painting the stories of God in the law garden, watched the musicians praise the kingdom bestowed by God, and watched the Logos people pray for God’s blessing in ordinary days, how ironic these scenes are, How hopeless.

The devout priest fell into deep thought day and night, muttering to himself in the lawful garden full of wheat, weeping with grief for a while, and laughing wildly for joy for a while, with only madness in his spirit.

Antinon was slovenly, letting lice crawl all over his body, breathing fresh air on his body, his eyes were bloodshot, he was getting thinner day by day, even the flesh was drooping on his bones.

The other priests kept him at arm's length, calling him a madman secretly and avoiding him.

Only Tertullian was still willing to be close to him.

Finally, one day, Antinone broke into Tertullian's house and brutally woke up the son of the prophet.

Tertullian opened his sleepy eyes.

In the darkness, Antinon suppressed his madness and said:
"Son of the Prophet, God is gone, really gone."

"I know I know."

Tertullian looked at Antinon by the bright moonlight.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the eyes of the latter seem extremely sober at this moment.

"God is gone, just go. But the Logos is a child of God..."

The priest tensed his whole body and said word by word:

"A child cannot lose his father,
Because God is gone,
Only the children of God want to find God back! "
