317 The Dying Guardian

Sawyer took the book, counted all the materials and equipment, then put the piles of gems and weighed them, and then put them all into a space bracelet of Serana. He turned his head but saw Galeb, who was slightly frustrated. After thinking about it, he took out a long sword and handed it over: "Take it."

"this……"

Galeb was stunned for a moment before reaching out to take the long sword, gently stroked the familiar pattern on the long sword, flipped his hand and put away his sword, saluting Saoya: "Thank you!"

"You're welcome, this is originally something from your clan. I'm just the original owner."

Sawyer waved his hand. The style and pattern on this long sword were exactly the same as the armor on Galeb. It was obviously a weapon of the ice and snow elves. Moreover, from Galeb's expression, he must have recognized this sword. Instead of leaving this world and redistributed it, it would be better to give it to Galeb. Not only can you make a favor, but you can also make the entire team's strength better.

After packing up the collection of the two giant dragons, Sawyer turned around near the dragon's ice breaking out, but he did not find the Dragon Word Wall engraved with the Dragon Word Rune. He had no choice but to give up for the time being, and set out on the road with everyone. Under the leadership of Galeb, he embarked on the road to the Altar of Determination.

The priest Neriel, who was determined to be the altar, was a little cold and ignored Galeb. After verifying the identity of everyone and opening the altar of determination for everyone, if it weren't for being stopped by Galeb, he might have left directly.

"Sir Paladin, do you have any more instructions?"

Priest Neriel looked at Galeb with a blank expression. Although he was talking about questions, he had no emotional fluctuations at all.

Looking at Nerier's stiff and even a little dull expression, Galeb sighed slightly and opened his mouth, but still did not tell the truth about the invasion of the twisted snow elves a hundred years ago. He just waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Priest Nerier... have a good rest."

Upon hearing this, Priest Neriel said nothing, and after bowing slightly to Galeb, he disappeared.

"Is this?" Sawyer asked in confusion as he looked at Galeb's lonely expression.

"Pastor Neriel is too old."

Galeb sighed, looked at Soya's still puzzled expression, and explained with a wry smile: "You should see that these priests who guard the altar are actually the souls of the late elders of the snow elves. They were all senior priests of the priests during their lifetime, and their status was second only to the archbishop. In order to give back their piety, the priests gave them the task of guarding these altars."

"You may not understand, but this mission represents a high glory in the Order. However, in order to obtain this glory, these elderly and dying priests have to undergo an extremely cruel ceremony so that their souls can refuse the summoning of the soul stone mound while retaining their minds."

"When our clan moved into this canyon, the lifespan of the clan Neriel was almost gone. He was also the first clan to become the guardian of the altar. The time he guarded the altar of Resolution was almost as long as the time the clan had been stationed in this canyon."

"However, this place is not a soul stone tomb after all. Even after a special ritual, the souls of these guardians will gradually weaken. In order to allow the souls of the priests to "live" forever, Oriele will lower his divine power every hundred years to repair the damage caused to the souls of the priests."

"And when those twisted... those snow elves with twisted minds attacked, it happened to be more than 90 years since Oriele dropped its divine power. Whether it was the guardian of the altar or the guardian power of the castle, they were the weakest. After this canyon was occupied by those snow elves, I never felt Oriele's existence again. Perhaps, we have been abandoned..."

Speaking of this, Galeb's voice gradually became low. Sawyer walked up and patted his shoulder, comforting him: "No, your gods are just blocked and cannot be located here. After this world returns to the main world, you will naturally feel the existence of Oriele."

As he said that, Sawyer also sighed. After all, Oriele was only the side of the God of Time Aka who tended to be an elf (just like Akatosh, but Akatosh was created by the Alesia Cult, representing the side of Akatosh who tended to be human). Therefore, his own power must be lacking, so he could not detect this small world hidden in the tributary of time like Aka, the God of Time, and naturally he could not lower his divine power to this place.

Moreover, thousands of years have passed in the main world, and it is still a matter of whether the ice and snow elf's Oriele exists now.

After all, whether it is Akatosh or Oriele, they are essentially just the "mortal god" of the God of Time. If there are not enough believers to provide the power of faith, Oriele, as the ice and snow elf of the mortal god, will collapse. (1)

However, Sawy's comfort still had a certain effect. After Galeb smiled reluctantly, he continued to tell: "Now it has been nearly two hundred years since the last divine power came, and the priest Nerier is the oldest among the many guardians. Although the guardians were all asleep after the invasion of the twisted snow elves, they have not been nourished by divine power for nearly two hundred years, and the soul of the priest Nerier is still gradually weakening."

"Now, the emotions of the priest Neriel are almost completely lost. After that, his memory will be gradually consumed. When the memory of the priest Neriel is completely erased by time, then...then the priest Neriel will die completely."

"Don't be sad," Sawyer patted his shoulder: "After this world returns to the main world, Oriele will naturally lower his divine power, and Neriel's soul that has been consumed in time will be replenished."

"I hope."

Galeb nodded, but his mood did not improve much. Compared to what Sawyer thought, thousands of years have passed, is their main god Oriele still there?

1 After the creation of the world, except for the Magnus and other Yuanlings who broke through the world of Nain, the remaining Yuanlings fell into a deep sleep. The weak incarnate rules or evolved sentient beings, while the powerful incarnate into planets (the realm of the Holy Spirit, corresponding to the realm of the Demon Gods), guarding the world of Nain. (See Chapter 158 for details)

However, whether it is Aka or several other spiritual spirits who incarnate planets, their consciousness is in a sleepy state. The Holy Spirit believed in by major races is essentially just a "mortal god" condensed through the power of faith, which only represents one face of a certain spiritual spirit. The consciousness of these mortal gods is also given by believers, such as Akatosh and Oriele, who are also Aka, who prefer humans, while the latter loves elves and thinks that they are the soul of Anui, but Aka does not have this consciousness.
