The holy land is expanding day by day. Looking down from a height of tens of kilometers, you can see a little golden yellow in a monotonous gray tone, which looks like a scar on the big belly of a gray-skinned giant.

More and more creatures have joined the holy land after being purified. Various wild beasts have appeared in the holy land, as well as many humanoid races. Although the number of giants purified by lizard people has been increasing, the proportion is constantly decreasing.

The main reason for the decline in the number of giants is a kind of abyss group called the Niba Monster.

Not all races are born warriors like giants. This thin race called "Miba Monster" has been hiding in dark corners such as swamps, mountain streams, bushes, etc. before being purified. It is the lowest intelligent population. Of course, their number cannot be underestimated. Although they are small and have almost no combat power, they have a number, but there are five or six hundred people in one nest.

After being purified, the true appearance of this mud monster is a humanoid race with a height of no more than 1.5 meters and a thin and slender body.

The appearance of this human race is very similar to that of giants and the 200 people in the town, but they are too small and brave. Whenever there is any movement, they like to burrow into the woods and grass. When standing in front of the giants, they will tremble uncontrollably.

The giant called the small race purified by this mud monster as a halfling, and the giant that dominates the holy land is not so polite to foreign races.

At this time, Leonardo had defeated all the leaders who challenged him. He was indeed extremely brave. Naturally, he became the leader of the giant.

At this time, he was still taking the overall situation into consideration and restrained, sharing the holy land with such halflings, but his attitude was not so polite. The only job of such halflings in the holy land was to reclaim farmland, plant crops, or be servants for giants, carry weapons, take care of the tumblers, etc.

By the fifth month of the expansion of the Holy Land, the diameter of the Holy Land was 250 kilometers, and the number of giants reached 30,000, which looked pretty good.

But compared with the number of half-lings, it would be a big witch, and half-lings have a total of 200,000!

According to the giant, such a small dwarf like a mouse is everywhere. If the halfling didn't seem to be threatening and was very respectful in front of the giant's slave, the giant might have started a massacre.

It was also in the fifth month. The town where the altar was originally located had been built into a small town. The city was renamed Sigfoss.

At this time, an oracle was issued in the Temple of Life where the goddess altar was located. The temple will establish the Truth Academy, and the goddess' envoy Alan will teach the lessons in person.

The oracle specifically states that any people in the holy land have the right to register for the selection and no one is allowed to stop them.

After the oracle appeared, it should have been a shocking event, but unexpectedly it did not cause much trouble.

The giants were a little confused, so, the Truth Academy? What? I don’t know. However, the God Envoy Allen said that he could teach words, which should be a good thing. So, Leonardo, the giant leader, sent more than a dozen thin giant children to participate in the selection.

In Leonardo's view, learning the so-called truth is not important, and it is incomparable to the importance of practicing combat skills. The reason why people were sent to participate in the selection was entirely to take care of the face of God's messenger Alan.

The halflings should appear more positive, mainly because the upper level of the holy land is controlled by giants, and they usually have no way to contact the messengers. But this does not hinder their belief in the goddess of life. Now that there are this opportunity, there are naturally many people who want to use this to pay tribute to the glory of the messengers.

But the problem is that their social status is too low, and most halflings are slaves of giants. Although the oracle shows that every citizen has the right to sign up for the selection, under the threat of their giant master, there are not many halflings who finally go out to sign up for the selection, and probably less than a hundred people.

Finally, a month after the oracle was issued, one hundred and twenty-five people arrived at Sigfos' Temple of Life.

One hundred and twenty-five people, ninety-six were short and thin half-lings, and twenty-nine were tall, but thin giant children.

A group of people were clearly divided into two groups. The half-lings were in awe of the giants, leaving them one by one, and did not dare to speak loudly. The giants looked at the short men with disdain, with their nostrils rising up into the sky.

Among the halflings, there is a little guy named Ai Luoyin. He is seven years old this year. In terms of the average lifespan of halflings, he is equivalent to the 20-year-old giant with an average lifespan of 90 years old. He is particularly short and is less than 1.3 meters tall. Even among the halflings, he is considered a short person.

"Hey, Little Elorin, you are here too, go home quickly, you must not be able to pass the selection of the messenger." An acquaintance laughed at him.

Airoin smiled without answering, he was squeezed into the corner alone, but this did not prevent him from observing the magnificent temple of life.

He was amazed at the huge pillars, the goddess altar shining with supreme glory in the distance, the smooth ground, and the tall and magnificent dome.

‘What a masterpiece of God!’ Airoin admired in his heart. He knew that this temple was built overnight by the Gods envoys, using supreme divine art to build it.

This time, the reason why he was desperate to participate in the selection was that he valued this point. The power of the gods could do things that mortals could never do. If he learned the principles, even if it was just the most superficial fur, it would be enough for him to get rid of his humble fate now.

As a halfling and a servant of a giant warrior, Eroin ran out this time against the threat of his master. If he was not selected, he might be twisted by his master's neck after going back.

Yes, twisted your neck!

The giants like to do such things. Although the great Leonardo leader forbids his soldiers from doing this, it is not a decree. The giants like to do it quietly. In their eyes, the halflings are despicable creatures and their lives are not worth mentioning.

When he thought of this, Airoin clenched his fist tightly. He looked at the altar of the goddess of life in the hall and asked softly in his heart: 'God, there is great inequality in the world. You are so kind that you have created this miraculous holy land. You said that all beings are equal. Why can't you stop this atrocities from happening?"

The goddess statue holding the jug was still shining. She stood there quietly with a gentle smile on her face, giving Eroin no answer.

Airo clenched his fists tightly and his nails pierced his palms, which made him unable to figure out. So it was very painful.

At this moment, a beautiful woman in a gorgeous moon-white long dress walked in through the side door of the hall. The woman was so beautiful. Ai Luo was stunned to see it and forgot the pain in his heart for a moment.

‘It’s God’s messenger Alan!’ Aloin felt excited. He thought that as long as he passed the selection, he could get God’s messenger to impart knowledge and principles. When he saw this beautiful person every day, Aloin felt his heart pounding in his thin chest.

In front of the altar, the messenger of God, whose body was covered with divine light, spoke, and her voice was as fresh as water: "Goddess's people, I am Alan, the messenger of God, may the light of God last forever."

"May the glory of God last forever." Everyone responded, whether it was the giant or the halfling.

Allen continued: "The selection rules this time are very simple. I just need everyone here to answer my three questions sincerely. If you answer correctly, you will become my apprentices."

Everyone listened carefully. Airoin couldn't blink his eyes, fearing that a word would be missed.

"The first question is, the glory and eternal truth in the world, which one do you prefer to pursue?"

As soon as this problem arises, the giants react the most.

A giant immediately replied: "I pursue the glory of warriors!"

"I hope to make achievements and become a hero like the great leader Leonardo. Let everyone remember my name."

“I hope…”

Three minutes later, all the giants chose glory in the world. Their ancestors spent their lives fighting for generations. And they gained a respectable position through fighting. For the giants, fighting is the truth, and gaining glory is all pursuits in life.

As for the eternal truth, I don’t know what this thing is.

Allen nodded and encouraged warmly: "Then you will go back and pursue the glory of the world. Remember to hone your fighting skills more and wait for something to come true in the future."

The giants knew they had lost the election, but that was nothing. They were here to handle the errands anyway. The giants gave Ellen a deep salute, then turned around and strode away. When they passed by the halfling, they all snorted coldly, with a very obvious look of contempt on their faces.

Unlike the giants' choice, the halfling chooses to pursue the so-called eternal truth without exception.

Every halfling is sincere. Although many of them do not know what eternal truth is, each of them knows that with their thin body, the glory of the world has nothing to do with them.

Alan looked at the 96 halflings left in the field and continued: "The second question is that becoming my apprentice will always be cut off from the mortal world. You will not be allowed to marry and have children, and will serve the goddess of life for life. Please make a choice, agree to go forward, and take a step back if you don't agree."

This condition is necessary. After pondering Rollin's words, Alan came to the conclusion that if the temple wants to exist immortally, it must be separated from the world.

As the first batch of apprentices at the Truth Academy, marriage and children are prohibited from getting married and having children, so that they will not be too deeply involved in the world, and at the same time, they can also soothe the emotions of the giants.

Because in this way, in the eyes of the giant, any halfling who becomes a divine messenger apprentice pays a huge price and cannot even have their own offspring, which is really a great sorrow. Then the giant clan will not have resentment towards the Temple of Life.

There are many considerations in this, and in the long run, Alan devoted himself to silently, just to make this holy land able to successfully spread to the entire White Mist Land and sublimate the world.

"Buzz~" the half-body people suddenly discussed. This condition was too harsh and completely anti-human. After a while, a small number of half-body people took a step back.

Whenever there were other options, Halfling gave up on Allen's teachings.

But there is an exception. Almost as soon as Allen finished speaking, the small Airoin took a step forward, without hesitation.

Alan glanced at him and nodded slightly to praise him. This made Airoin feel that his whole body was full of strength.

After a while, 43 halflings stepped forward, but the others all retreated. Many of the people who moved forward were not sincere. They were forced to die because they would go back.

Alan refused to say anything, and she said to the retreating half-limb: "Then, you will go back and get married and have children, and spend the life of a mortal."

The retreating half of the people saluted Alan and withdrew from the temple sadly.

Alan spoke again: "The third question is, after learning the truth and enjoying the glory of God, you must spread this glory throughout the holy land. Those who are willing to bathe in glory, whether he is your former enemy or friend, share this glory with him. If you can do it, please move forward and take a step back if you can't."

This time, Airo hesitated because he hated the giant. If there was a giant who wanted to share the glory from him, it would be a torture for him.

But the hesitation lasted only a few seconds, and then Errion took a step forward.

He was still the first to do this. In order to get close to God and get rid of his destiny, he had no choice but to move forward.

Obviously, the other halflings were the same as him and had no choice, so after hesitating for a while, all 43 halflings took a step forward.

Allen nodded: "In this way, you have all become the first apprentices of Sigfoss Truth Academy, and the only apprentice to whom I personally teach the truth. The above three questions represent three oaths. If there is any violation, your glory will be immediately deprived of you and rejected by God."

All 43 half-lings lowered their heads, feeling panic and glad.

Alan looked at these halflings, especially on Airoin, and comforted her in a gentle tone that she had just learned: "The goddess said: All beings are equal. This equality is reflected in a long time, and this equality is reflected among races. The race that rejects the truth also rejects the future. The race that chooses the truth will inevitably move towards the sublime step by step!"

Airo's body was shocked suddenly, and he understood this sentence. He heard the messenger of God's judgment on the tragic future of the giants. He heard the messenger's promise to the glorious future of the halfling.

In an instant, the pain in his heart subsided. At this moment, with the guidance of the God's envoy, his eyes seemed to have the ability to see through time.

He looked up and looked up at the beautiful messenger bathed in endless glory, and was infatuated. (To be continued)
