The Legend of Fatality
Chapter 824: Temple of Dular
Bai En walked into the inner hall of the Temple of Dular. Now the influence of his reputation is clearly in his favor. The priests of the Grey Dwarf did not express any dissatisfaction and resistance to let him enter. They just seemed surprised that there would be humans who wanted to enter this place. The burning torches in the hallway made Bai En think that it was very bright, but then it became dark and dark, and it took him a few minutes to adjust to the dimness.
The heavy stone wall blocks all external sounds. The air was filled with the pungent smell of incense and burnt hair. Except for a few old dwarfs in plain red robes, there was no one in this inner hall. They did not carry weapons; their beards were very long, tied with clips, and there were two crossed axe badges on the clips, which was the mark representing Durar. They seemed to do nothing but pray and care for the burning flames in a fire pit in the front hall.
Bai En began to look around. In the human temple, the ceiling here will be considered too low, but it is still three times his own height. Huge sarcophagi lined up along the wall. Everyone is as tall as a human, and the surface is carved into a dwarf lying on it, holding a weapon in front of his chest. Bai En knew that these were the graves of the ancient gray dwarf kings. Ogharen ’s royal family has been buried here for generations.
In the center of the room is a huge altar, on which stands a tall statue of a dwarf warrior, with an axe in each hand and a dragon's neck on his feet. The character depicted is clearly Dular. His beard is short and his head is shaved brightly. In addition to the requirements for hairstyles, it is no wonder that the current dwarf thinks he is the first oath among the dwarves. In addition, there was a dwarf kneeling in front of the altar and praying in a low voice.
The hammer of fate was placed on the altar. Bai En glanced at it, then recognized it, and felt a sharp pain pass through between his fingers. He remembers taking it to fight the thirsty blood-killing lord of Guntergrim. Mortals should not have used such weapons, and he paid a painful price for this.
Sometimes, when the night is quiet, he will think of this. There are so many people in the world, why did he let him pick up the hammer? He is not a hero. He didn't even want to go to Guntergrim, he could have lived a happy life in Fatalin without encountering a powerful demon, let alone fighting it.
He had fought for his life in the first half of his life, and fought for his goal. There are still some things he can't accomplish, which really makes him unwilling. But in fact, what can we do? Everyone in this world has some unwillingness, but not everyone insists.
At that moment, the dwarf stood up sharply and turned from the altar, not like when a person was about to leave the sacred shrine, but like a warrior ordered by his general to immediately execute it. He looked at him as he walked past him. Seeing a human in the most sacred place of his clan, his face did not show surprise.
Bai En looked at him and felt that the dwarf's eyes were the most gloomy he had ever seen in his life. His face may have been hewn out of granite. His face has a primitive rough feeling, just like the statues of ancient Druids. His head has just been shaved recently, leaving only a small strand of hair, maybe one day it will be longer and get a more weird hairstyle. His beard has turned into stubble.
Bai En gave him a hammer gesture on his chest, and then walked to the altar. There is no special sign that the dwarf **** exists. The altar is a huge building carved from solid stone. The hammer of fate also looks like a huge warhammer, its hammerhead is the same as the dwarf rune on the altar. If it weren't for Bai En who had picked up the hammer himself and felt its power, he would think it was just an impressive weapon, not a sacred relic.
He asked himself again why he came here. What he hoped to gain by visiting the shrine of this dwarf deity might be some understanding of the dwarf. Bai En felt that it was not for this reason. Here, many of them shaved their hair and started looking for their own end.
But for him, this is a very difficult thing to understand, he can not imagine himself or anyone else will do such a thing. Bai En can understand all negative things like humiliation, insult, failure, hatred, etc., but it can become something that drives your life. In Bai'en's thinking, if something gives you humiliation, you should revenge. The glory and reputation are too vain, and some people may care, but for Bai En, it seems to be of no use.
