The forest does not seem to have a completely tight border, but as we walk, the grass and trees around us gradually become taller, and the surrounding light gradually becomes dimmer, and an earthy smell with a slight hint of vegetation fills our noses until Only then did I realize that we had entered the Wells Forest that Thurio mentioned.
Although the name is Wells, this place is probably a deserted suburb. Not only is there no one, but there is not a single village in the surrounding area. It is almost a ghost place with no village in front or back and no store in the back.
"Usually this place is actually very lively." Thurio seemed to have noticed my doubts and explained, "But recently there have been rumors of monsters appearing here, and several adventurers have indeed been injured, so Except for the herb collectors, basically none of the adventurers came here. At first, I was worried that someone would reject the mission directly when they heard that the destination was here."
To be honest, I have never heard of such rumors... and it seems that the adventurers have not discussed them in detail. In addition, we are grinding grade points all day long, so this kind of information is really difficult to obtain, but in other words, there is immediate We are not afraid of World of Warcraft at all. I can be proud to think that the huge threats in the eyes of ordinary people are now a piece of cake for me. If not, there is a hard bone and Kyle Russ will help to chew it, and Nolan Russ will definitely also I won't stand by and watch...
"I saw this god again." Thurio looked at an object built with stones on the side of the road that could be called a shrine and said, "It's really strange. When I came here last time, I remembered that it had been destroyed. It fell down, but now it has been put back up again.”
"Would anyone come to such a far place to worship?" I asked a little strangely, "It's so far away from the city, and there are no stores nearby to stay in. It would take a lot of time and effort, right?"
"There should be..." He half-knelt down on one knee, found a fresh medicinal flower from the basket behind his back, and placed it in front of the shrine as a sacrifice. Then he clasped his hands and bowed his head slightly to worship. stand up.
After praying twice, he stood up again, smiled at us and said, "Sorry, sorry, I couldn't help but do this."
"It's not a big problem. There really aren't any traces of wild animals nearby." I waved my hand and said.
There are very few traces of not only wild animals but also insects, but that is probably because winter is approaching.
"Speaking of which, since it is a shrine, does that mean there is a god?" I am actually a little strange about this matter, because the Holy See is the spiritual heart of all mankind, and it should be difficult for such a small group of gods to live. It was only right to go down. However, I saw traces closer to the primitive worship of nature gods in this place, so I was still quite curious.
"Wells is a commercial capital, so the businessmen there will naturally believe in the Goddess of Wealth, and the sailors and captains will believe in the God of Poseidon and so on." Thurio smiled and said, "The Holy See is still very open to the matter of belief. Well, for the Holy See, the main thing is that gods who can fight against demons are good gods."
It is indeed a simple and crude way to distinguish...
Because of the existence of the threat of demons, the Holy See in other worlds did not actually become like the medieval Europe on earth. Instead, it quietly embarked on another branch, that is, it became a pan-faith of people - to fight against demons. The biggest prerequisite is that clan is the main prerequisite. If the behavior conforms to this framework, even other sects can tolerate it.
"In other words, this shrine is the goddess of wealth or the god of the sea or something?" I groped my chin, a little confused about this matter. How could the Xinyang of these two gods appear in the forest?
"No." Thurio showed a proud smile on his face, "If I guessed correctly, this should be the shrine of the God of Harvest or the God of the Forest."
"...It's a bit unexpected." Although it is indeed in line with common sense, there seems to be no special reason to worship these two gods.
"I went to the library to read the city history before. Wells was actually built after the situation between humans and demons stabilized in recent decades. Before that, this place was just a small town. And judging from the very old map, The location of the town should also be closer to the Baishui River." Thurio looked proud, "Not many people know about this kind of thing now!"
