book of old days

Chapter 120 The land where the gods fell
Looking back, the temple really began to collapse, first the outer wall, then the dome, and the tall spar wall collapsed without warning.

Not only is the Temple of Aurora collapsing, but everything around it is undergoing some kind of ominous change. The dark wind is howling in the sky, and countless strange birds are circling and singing in the air, and the sound is extremely sad.

The trees and flowers in the city withered and fell, gray fog grew, the sun was dim, buildings collapsed, and even the mountain where the city was located began to shake.

Sean can probably guess what's going on in his heart. This city of the gods is linked to the power of belief in the Nord pantheon, and it is the embodiment of the entire Nord belief. Now that the three main gods are all dead, Nuo The belief in morality has completely disappeared, and the city is afraid that it will disappear soon.

I just don't know what will happen if I stay in the city.

He doesn't want to try.

"Come on!"

They didn't dare to stay, and ran down the mountain along the way they came. When they were almost at the city gate, they saw other hunters dragging gold out with their bags.

Scar Wilson laughed loudly and said, "Haha, I just said that the two of them can't die!"

The fat man asked in surprise: "Ragnar, Wizard John, you really didn't kill the goddess of death, did you?"

"Shut up and run! This city is about to collapse."

Sean yelled and rushed directly between them, running fast without looking back. It is cool to have a dimensional pocket, and you don't need to carry any weight to move forward.

Ragnar followed closely behind. He was carrying two and a half bags of gold, probably weighing four to five hundred catties. Even if he was so strong, he might not be able to carry it any longer. He gritted his teeth and threw away half the bag. Carrying the remaining two bags and running out, the tomahawk didn't know where to throw it.

Behind the two, the buildings on the mountain began to collapse one after another, and the huge cover began to roll down from above. The sound of buildings collapsing came from time to time, echoing in the mountains.

The faces of the hunters changed drastically when they saw it, and each of them ran desperately after holding up a bag of gold.

"Don't worry about gold, it's important to escape!"

"No, never give up."

"Whoever fights a bag for me, I'll give him half when I go back!"

Scar Wilson seemed to be unable to run anymore. He opened the bag and poured out a third of it, picked it up and continued running.

But the fat man gritted his teeth and refused to throw away one, his face turned red.

Others also made their own choices, some abandoned part of it, and some relied on their physical strength to hold on.

Fortunately, they finally ran out of the city gate.

With a bang, the city wall collapsed, and smoke rose into the sky, covering the way they came. Everyone looked back at the trembling and collapsing city of the gods. It was so majestic and magnificent, like a sacred city where the gods lived. , but at this moment it has become a dilapidated ruins.

The ground underfoot was still shaking.

Xiao En knows that this disaster is not over, and I am afraid that the entire God's Domain will disappear in the end.

He beckoned everyone to continue walking along the valley, and soon walked into the mist.

The surrounding air began to gradually become colder, and the soft grass under their feet disappeared, replaced by a cold and smooth ice surface. When everyone finally broke out of the fog, what greeted them was the bleak sunlight of the polar day.

They were back above the frozen North Sea.

The cold wind was blowing in front of him, making Xiao En surprisingly sober. Everything that happened before was like a bizarre dream, but now it seemed so illusory.

But looking at his palm, light and heat were slowly being released from his body, Sean knew that everything was true.

He turned around and looked at the others, all of them were paralyzed on the ice, wheezing and wearing their bearskin coats, which they had taken off earlier, and they would rush to put them on again, otherwise they would have to wear them in a few minutes. frozen.

Among the crowd, only Xiao En still had enough energy. He turned around and looked at the gradually dissipating fog behind him. Thoughtfully, the sled dogs all surrounded their masters. He called out a few times, and watched the fog gradually become thinner, and finally disappeared completely, leaving only an empty ice surface, as if there had never been any land of gods, and only the cold reality presented before everyone.

The briquette stopped barking, and looked at the ice surface in surprise, its simple mind obviously couldn't understand what happened.

A hunter nicknamed Lone Wolf got up from the ground. He was taken aback when he saw the disappearing fog, "It's gone, it's all gone. If you say that, there won't be any cities of the gods anymore. No pantheons, no gods?"

Sean nodded, and said with some emotion, "That's right, the Nord gods have completely disappeared from this world, and there will be no more in the future. The city of the gods eventually became the place where the gods fell. Those ancient legends And myths, those gods who were forgotten in the past, have disappeared after all.”

The atmosphere became a little sad for a while. After all, everyone was Nord, and the hunters felt a little complicated when they thought that the gods worshiped by their ancestors for thousands of years had completely disappeared.

Until the fat man suddenly reminded, "At least the gold is still there."

As soon as gold was mentioned, everyone immediately forgot the sadness just now.

They made a lot of money this time, at least they carried more than 100 pounds of gold products, and there were two or three hundred pounds more. Just selling gold is already a lot of money, not to mention The craftsmanship of these gold products is quite exquisite, plus the gems, pearls, and diamonds inlaid on them, as long as they can return to Nordforsen alive, they will become rich when they sell them.

"That's right, as long as the gold is still there, it will be gone if the god is gone. Anyway, no one has believed in it for hundreds of years, and it has long since lost its sense of existence."

"That's right, speaking of these treasures, our ancestors sacrificed them to the gods. Now that we take them back, they can be regarded as returning them to their original owners."

"We Nords are meant to be robbed. Who is to blame if they can't keep it? We can be regarded as recreating the tradition of our ancestors."

"Hey, it's a pity that I didn't bring more people. There is still a lot of gold there. Where did the gold go in the end?"

"Maybe it sank into the sea. If you have money to buy a big boat in the future, maybe you can get it back."

"I will never come to this ghostly place again. When I go back, I will use the gold to buy a big manor and buy it from Norem. Let's live a life of a rich lord."

Everyone was discussing in a hurry, and the atmosphere gradually became heated.

Suddenly someone sang happily.

"Hey, hey, the Nord warrior is so proud."

"Hey, hey, cross the North Sea and cross the Montenegro."

"Only for the gold and treasures, not afraid of life and death to scare the enemy."

"Singing the war song, waiting for the triumphant return, our blood is burning in the flames."

This line of lyrics was especially appropriate at this time. Everyone understood the humor in it, and they all laughed, and then they began to load their trophies on the sled, happily discussing how to spend the money after returning home.

Sean looked at these guys speechlessly, shook his head, "Nords—hehe."

Let's go, it's time to go home.
