Harry Potter and the Old Ones
Chapter 211: earth gods
"May the great king of the abyss bless you." The farmer said with an old seal on his chest, and at the same time showed Tiera the way to the city of Uzza—
It was already noon when we reached the city of Uzzah.
With the farmer's guide, Tiera quickly found the majestic stone bridge spanning the Skye River—
This stone bridge was built more than 1,300 years ago. When the stone bridge was built, the masons and high priests in the city once sealed a living person as a sacrifice in the central pier.
After crossing the bridge, more and more cats began to appear, and the daring Zugs who followed Tiera had to turn back in front of the stone bridge——
Because if they dared to step on the stone bridge, the cats would immediately tear their throats—
This is the city of Usa, a sacred place for cats to inform, and ugly monsters in the enchanting forest are not allowed to enter it.
After crossing this stone bridge, the figure of the cat began to appear around him frequently.
Tiera came to the outskirts of the city of Usa, where there were light green farmhouses and fields surrounded by neat hedges.
But what makes people feel more pleasant is the quaint town itself—
There are ancient pointed roofs, and many floors jutting out of the small buildings above the road, and countless chimney pipes, and narrow mountain alleys—
and the hordes of cats roaming these alleys, and through the gaps between them, Tiera saw the ancient cobblestones laying on the alleys.
Tiera carefully bypassed the group of cats and went straight to the temple dedicated to the old god——
It is said that priests and those ancient records stayed in this simple and unadorned temple.
Tiera climbed up the highest hill in Uzza, on top of which stood a stately round tower, and in this stone tower that climbed around the ivy, Tiera found the great Elder Attar.
The elderly priest once climbed the taboo peak of Hatig-Kola in the gravel desert and returned alive.
Attar sat on an ivory-colored podium, which was placed in a shrine decorated with colorful flowers at the top of the temple. This old man is already three hundred years old, but he still has extremely sharp thinking and clear memory.
Tiera respectfully saluted Attar, presented the special product from the Enchanted Forest, Moonlight Wine, and made a request to Attar that she wanted to trade with the cats.
Tiera showed the elder priest Attar the ability of Peter Pettigrew to transform into a mouse—
This ability of his aroused the interest of the cats, and the cat clan next to the Simple Temple were attracted-
A shocking sight. Carter had never seen so many cats. Black, grey, white, yellow, tabby, variegated, common house cat, Persian, Manx, Tibetan, Angora, Egyptian, etc...
After the cats showed enough interest, Tiera made her trade request like an enthusiastic salesman—
But unfortunately, Usa's cats rejected Tiera's request.
Except in times of war, there is no cat reason to approach the blasphemous land of the Cold Plateau.
They are the subordinates of Bast, the goddess of war and family. They are born to hate the cold plateau and the moon beasts who live on the cold plateau.
"Okay, thank you very much for your time." After the transaction failed, Tiera asked the next question, "Great and learned pastor, I have a question for you."
"Please speak," Atal replied.
"The gods of the earth, also known as the gods of the dreamland. They were the original gods of the earth, but now they rule the dreamland, but they are far less powerful than the old ones, and their intelligence is not even that of most humans. They are protected by the great chaos Migrating down to Cadath, deep in the Cold Plateau, where they spend their days having fun. They once lived on mountaintops all over the world, but as the people of the plains climbed these rocky and snow-covered slopes , forced them to leave these peaks until they left Earth and came to Dreamland. Is this history real?" Tiera asked.
"Yes," Atal replied, "You also want to explore where the gods are?"
"No, I don't have any interest in Kadas, I just want to trade pillar copper, flowing silver and sky gold with the Moon Beasts on the Cold Plateau." Tiera said, "I just have a few questions. I want to ask you, don't worry, these are just out of pure..."
"Pure academic purpose," Tiera said.
At this time, an orange kitten climbed up the edge of Tiera's gray robe—
Tiera picked up the little orange cat, reached out and stroked the smooth fur on his head, stomach and back.
Attar seemed a little surprised, but he didn't say anything, but said generously:
"Okay, please ask."
"Thank you." Tiera bowed politely, and then asked:
"If it is convenient, I would like to know when the gods of the earth left the earth?"
Attar closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said:
"About... six thousand revolution years ago."
That is, more than 6,000 years ago...
Tiera understood, and then asked:
"But since then, the myths of the earth have not been cut off, and even—" Tiera paused, then added, "even, the fanatical monotheistic religion gradually replaced the classical myths contending for a hundred schools of thought, ruling most of the earth. area."
"Yes, that's right." Attar replied.
"So I want to ask, after all the ancient gods came to the Dreamland, are there some extremely powerful new gods born on earth?" Tiera asked ~lightnovelpub.net~ To be precise... yes , but not much. "Attar replied with a smile, "or rather, very little. Like you, all the gods came to the dreamland and went to the cold plateau to trade with the moon beasts for the copper of the pillar, the silver of the flow and the gold of the sky. "
"This is the only way to become a god." Attar said, "This is the only way to permanently reside in the divine dimension."
"As far as I know, the most distant self-made **** is a traveler named Hermes about 3,700 years ago."
"Then that **** from more than 6,000 revolution years ago..." Tiera asked again.
"Hey..." Attar stroked his beard and smiled, "With your intelligence and profound knowledge, you should be able to think of it."
"The devil..." Tiera said.
"Yes." Atal said, "When the ancient gods moved to the Dreamland, those filthy beings poked their heads out of the dark corners and stared at this fertile land..."
"... They are like monkeys wearing human clothes, imitating the images of the ancient gods, and in a comical gesture, they play gods in front of primitive humans..."
"...Most of the demons have their dull brains stuffed with dull desires, but there is only one...there is only one, only one demon, and he is so sane that he finds an alternative in his imitation of the gods of the earth. the road to becoming a god.”
"HWHJ..." Tiera slowly read out the four-character "God".
Attar took a sip of wine, nodded, and continued:
"But he didn't become a **** in the end, he became a pseudo-god...a powerful...a two-dimensional demon with the characteristics of a divine dimension..."
