"Do you know about locusts?" Anthony asked.
"...Of course I know." Yin Coin said speechlessly. He was not an aristocratic young lady who did not distinguish between grains and grains. Anthony asked him like this, which made him feel insulted.
"I'm used to it. Alas, you don't know what kind of life I've been living during this time." Anthony smiled bitterly.
"Hundreds of years ago, there was a young man who lived a carefree life in the village since he was a child. Until one year, there was a locust plague, crops were gnawed, famine, his parents starved to death, and he was starving. , caught the locusts and roasted them to eat, and finally survived..."
The boy who survived was Hemel. 'Toss' means 'Supreme' in the divine language, and Hemeltus means 'Supreme Hemel'.
Hemel lost his family and most of his friends in the village starved to death. By eating roasted locusts, Hemel not only survived, but also saved the lives of the remaining villagers in the village, and survived the most difficult stage. Come the relief of the Church of Light.
However, the arrival of the Church of Light did not save Hemel. Soon, the church people learned from the villagers that Hemel roasted locusts and ate them, saving some of the villagers. Is this okay?
We worked hard to raise food and gold coins, and 'consumed' 90% of it on the road, and the remaining 10% came to help you. You don't appreciate the light, but instead thank a farmer who roasted locusts?
How does this work? Moreover, this method of saving oneself by eating locusts cannot be spread. In the future, everyone will roast locusts to save oneself. Where can our church go to accumulate faith?
So they found an excuse, for example, eating locusts was a sacrilegious act, and asked the villagers to drive the sacrilegious people out of their hometowns.
In this situation, the villagers naturally chose to drive Hemel away, completely forgetting who saved them in the most difficult time, and even hypnotized themselves: "Hemel knew that eating locusts was blasphemous. He even tricked us into eating, so we drove him away!”
An ordinary boy is driven away from a disaster area, where can he go? Hundreds of miles around have been eaten away by locusts, and there is not even grass or bark left. What can he eat?
In the end, he survived by eating locusts. Not only did he eat locusts, he even raised locusts in a remote cave.
As he raised them, Hemel gained experience and learned various methods of inducing eggs and fattening. If it was a normal world, he would probably enter the breeding industry and make a fortune based on this skill.
But this is not a normal world. Even people with a lot of common sense can become gods. A guy who raised millions of locusts suddenly felt some kind of mysterious feeling.
It is incredible to raise millions of locusts in a cave. Just feeding them consumes a lot of Hemel's time and energy. When there are too many locusts, the locusts will even kill each other.
Hemel threw everything he could find into the cave. At first it was just plant minerals, but then he had a whim and threw some animal carcasses in, and found that locusts also ate them.
At first it was just feeding, but after a few years, Hemel was able to drive these locusts and perform some simple controls, such as where to move.
From then on, Hemel's feeding became free-range, driving them outside and eating whatever they saw.
The number of locusts has increased on a large scale, reaching more than 10 million, and the food in the wild is slowly running out.
When there is not enough food, locusts will kill themselves and eat their own kind, which makes Hemel very painful. These are the 'children' he cultivated.
This kind of pain tortured him repeatedly for a long time, until one day, he drove the locust swarm back to his previous village and watched the locust swarm destroy the crops outside the village, the cattle and sheep in the village, and the people in the village...
Everything that could be chewed was eaten away, and Hemel finally got rid of this torture. From that moment on, he no longer regarded human beings as his own kind, but as food for locusts.
After obtaining sufficient food, the number of locust swarms expanded rapidly, from 10 million to hundreds of millions, and a new locust plague was forming.
At first, no one cared about this disaster. It was just a locust plague. After receiving the news, the pastor of the Bright Church just reported it and applied for disaster relief. At the same time, he was already trying to do something with the disaster relief funds. what.
Not long after, the overwhelming locusts gnawed away the villages and advanced towards the cities.
At this time, people discovered that the locusts in this disaster were different. They actually ate meat.
Faced with this change, humans, elves, dwarves, and dragons united as never before and quickly eliminated the locust plague. However, no one knew that Hemel had returned to the original cave with a group of brand new locust individuals.
More than ten years later, a man appeared in a small mountain village hundreds of kilometers away. He called himself Hemeltus and asked the villagers to believe in him.
Of course, no villager would believe this guy who appeared out of nowhere and drove him away.
But within a few days, a strange insect appeared near the village. They ate up all the villagers' crops and bitten people.
Just when everyone was at a loss, the Hermeltus from a few days ago appeared again. He drove away the strange insects and once again asked everyone to believe in him.
What a coincidence. Just after leaving the monster insects, someone questioned the monster insects driven by Hemeltus.
Hemeltus simply used strange insects to bite those who doubted him to death. Well, now everyone stopped questioning and trembled to express their belief in him.
Later, Hermeltus showed a new miracle. He sprinkled something called "彽" into the farmland that had been gnawed away by strange insects. After two or three hours, all that was left was those that had been gnawed away. The roots of the seedlings grew again.
Relying on these two hands, the Temple of Chaos founded by Hemeltus grew quietly, taking root and thriving in places where light could not shine.
It was not until decades later that Anthony discovered this religion by chance.
At that time, Anthony was not called Anthony, but had another name, and his identity was only a high-ranking priest. However, he still retained a high sensitivity to the aura of death. He found that there were many fragments of the aura of death in some places. When he dug it out, he found that it was A lot of monster corpses.
It was later learned that Hermeltus used the corpses of these strange insects to ferment the so-called worms.
Antony reported his findings to the church, and then the major races united again to encircle and suppress Hemeltus.
But this time, the gods of light came in a rare way. God came to the Pope and only said one sentence: Where the light shines, I can see you, but I don’t want to see you.
With a simple sentence, the overwhelming monster insects that had become a huge threat began to disappear.
It was also because of this miracle that Anthony could not believe that the gods of light had disappeared, because at this time, the king had disappeared, and he had been involved in the Church of Light for decades.
However, Hemeltus did not disappear completely. He may have hidden somewhere where the light could not shine, and came out to cause trouble every once in a while.
In order to guard against him, the major races have established mechanisms to monitor his presence throughout the plane.
It is not difficult to do this, because the proliferation of strange insects requires a lot of food. If you detect where a large number of animals and plants have disappeared in a short period of time, just send someone to check.
"Lord Ange suddenly issued an oracle to kill him. Does this mean that this guy has appeared again?" Anthony frowned and said distressedly.
This was a big matter. In principle, he had to inform everyone, but if he reported it, Ange would be involved in this kind of plane-level conflict again, because Ange was the first to discover it.
"The best way is to kill Hermeltus quietly. Well, not to death. Anyway, he will appear once every few decades. Just erase the traces of his appearance this time. ." Anthony stroked his cheek and murmured to himself.
…
Ange burned the two beetles to ashes, and then returned to the village angrily.
As a vegetable-growing skeleton, he knew all too well how terrifying the spread of these two insects was. They would eat up all the plants in sight, which was absolutely unacceptable to Ange.
When he thought that the jujube trees, Geshu, World Tree in the oasis, and the saltwater magic rice that had just been planted by Dragon Dragon Lake would all be eaten away, Ange couldn't help but feel his head boiling.
This rare loss of emotional control made everyone tremble unconsciously. Even the most noisy little angel lowered his head and followed Ange quietly.
After a long while, Nigris muttered in hindsight: "Is this the divine power? It's actually the divine power? Have the vegetable-growing skeletons awakened the divine power? So bad."
In order to get Ange out of this uncontrollable mood quickly, Nigris rolled his eyes and suddenly pointed to the ashes of the burned insects on the ground and said: "Ange, look."
