Durin's Diary

Chapter 176 Untitled
Walking all the way to the Temple of the Twin Goddesses in Copenhagen, Dulin could see the twin spires from a distance - in this era when temple spires were unique, the twin spires represented the image of the Twin Goddesses, which was very easy to distinguish.

There is even a hellish joke that in the final stage of the Northern Kingdom's civil war, the Temple of the Twin Mothers was the only place that had not been hit by artillery shells, because the kingdom's artillery refused any commander's crazy orders to fire at the location of the twin spires, and the commanders who wanted to shoot the artillery would always be shot by the soldiers who believed in the Twin Mothers.

So, when Du Lin approached the temple with bullet holes and battle scars on its walls, he was still surprised by its simplicity.

This is older than any temple I have ever seen.

Back home, even the shrines on asteroids are more magnificent than this. Look at that statue of a girl holding a wheat ear. My carbon-14 scan tells me it's two thousand years old! Was there civilization in this place two thousand years ago?
Daju was in crazy shock.

Carbon-14 is some kind of ancient technology, it's not accurate.

Du Lin complained as he walked in with the girls.

He explained his purpose. He heard that he was here to collect folk songs and was a grassland elf. Moreover, Dulin's appearance was easy to recognize. Although the bishop was not there at the moment, the deacon in charge of reception still enthusiastically took Dulin into the prayer room.

It is called a prayer room, but it is actually the main hall with hundreds of long tables, a deep dome, and a statue of a pair of girls holding hands on the altar.

Is this the Twin Mother Goddesses?

Daju is mainly responsible for recording, and he is probably filming a video now.

And Du Lin walked to the portrait on the wall.

This is a huge portrait, painted by Damian Finch himself, which took him two years to complete.

The painting depicts a pair of girls walking in an endless wheat field, and in the distance there is the figure of the original creator.

This painting is colorful, a change from Sir Damian Finn's previous cold and stern style.

"This is the last painting by Sir Damian Finch in his later years. His family believed in the Twin Mothers, and he devoted his life to the cause of Northernism, so he never had time. When he was in his later years, he created this painting at the invitation of the temple. He died of illness in the sanatorium of the Twin Mothers the following year." Alyssa introduced the origin of the painting to Gan Gang.

Du Lin nodded and said, "The painting is really good, he is worthy of being a master." In Du Lin's opinion, all the details of the painting are so perfect. In the hands of this master, the paint is like a dancing elf, outlining all the beauty.

How about using this painting as the master template?

Daju asked.

it is good.

Du Lin turned to look at the deacon. "Mr. Deacon, I have decided to use the image of the twin goddesses in Damian Vinci's painting as the master template. What do you think?"

"Of course that's good. In fact, the Archbishop has spoken highly of this painting." The deacon nodded happily. "I'm fully aware of your good intentions. When the Bishop returns, I'll be sure to convey this message."

Du Lin took the girls into the library on the second floor of the temple - the temple of the Twin Mothers records history, and Du Lin also wanted to see what other roles the Twin Mothers had played in history.

Let’s look at the one in Copenhagen first. According to the deacon, there are still many rare copies in the archdiocese of the Eastern Elf Territory.

After reading it, Durin decided to take the girls away from Copenhagen for a few days, even if it was just to avoid the limelight. That way, even if the princes wanted to kill him, they would not run all the way to the Central Temple of the Twin Mothers in the Central Province of the Grassland Elves to kill Durin.

Alyssa followed Dulin with great curiosity: "Dulin, what are you going to do with the clothes of the Twin Mother Goddesses?" The new look of the Goddess of Art and Beauty was created by Dulin. This was no secret in the small circle of the academy, but as a close friend of Dulin, Alyssa certainly had the right to ask this question.

"Tell me, what images do the Twin Mother Goddesses usually appear in?" Du Lin asked.

"That's no problem for me. The Twin Mothers usually appear before the world as peasant girls, mostly wearing pure white autumn dresses." Alyssa thought for a moment. "However, in the Southern Wilds, the Twin Mothers sometimes appear in temples wearing battle robes. It's said that because the Wilds have long-term experience fighting orcs, the churches there usually have more cathars and weapons."

"Looks like we still have to go to the Great Wasteland." Du Lin took this matter to heart. "How about we just take a week off and take some time to visit Everforged Fortress in the Great Wasteland and the Central Province of the Eastern Elf Territory?"

"When we get to the Central Bank Province, I will definitely take charge and take you guys out for fun," Anta said.

"The Connery family has some influence in Everforge Fortress, so I can show some hospitality." Melinda said.

That would be great.

Following the deacon to the library, he led Durin to a giant flip book almost as tall as a prairie elf. "This book records some stories about the Temple of the Twin Mothers in Copenhagen. Please use the gloves over there when turning the pages."

"This leather doesn't look like sheepskin."

"It's an orc skin, a sacrifice prepared by the brave warriors of the Primordial Creator for the Twin Mother Goddesses worshipped by their wives and families."

The deacon's answer made Du Lin exclaim slightly.

I'm starting to like this world. There's no such thing as bullshit political correctness. Evil must be killed. It's just what I like.

Daju sighed.

Du Lin also thinks so - this is how life is, the good ones should live and the evil ones should die.

It's like Du Lin always felt that the purpose of the existence of the law is to increase the cost of survival for bad guys, not to deceive honest people. If you really push the honest people into a corner and make them smother you, it would be very hilarious - Du Lin has really seen such a thing. The honest man was cheated by the defendant and the judge, and after the end, the mantis knife in his elbow popped out.

I'm sorry, before becoming the plaintiff, I served in the army for seventeen years and in Middle-earth for fifteen years. I have fought with zombies and alien species. I am a real tough guy among tough guys.

Including the defendant and the third party, seven people died in three seconds.

"Durin, what are you laughing at? Turn the pages quickly." Anta's reminder brought Durin out of his past memories. He put on gloves and began to flip through the 'parchment'. The recent history of the Copenhagen temple seemed rather unremarkable. Apart from a few years of famine caused by seasonal factors, there was nothing interesting to see.

When it came to the Restoration War, there was a sentence on the parchment.

During the war, Bishop Navara Shevara of the Temple of the Twin Mothers, a grassland elf, and his subordinates did their utmost to rescue and send 137,500 northernists who refused to surrender by sea during the three-year war, saving them from slaughter. They were therefore hailed as saints.

The greatness of life does not lie in height.

Daju sighed.
