Chapter 1124 Bedel Village

Lake Baikal is frozen for thousands of miles, and the cold wind blows like a knife, and it seems that it can blow off a piece of human flesh.

In the center of the lake, circular igloos appeared. This was Baird Village, the only human gathering place within a thousand miles.

On the outskirts of this village, various traps are densely covered, bombs hidden under wooden boxes are all over the outskirts of the village, and various weapons coated with antifreeze are hidden in igloos.

But the reason why this village survived after the great changes in the world was not because of how strong the defense was or how many super strong people there were, but because large monsters could not get close to the center of the lake.

The ice in Lake Baikal is not thin, but it is not thick enough either. Once a large monster steps onto the ice, it will crush the ice and fall into Lake Baikal.

The extremely cold temperature of Lake Baikal is comparable to that of liquid nitrogen, which can freeze everything. So far, the corpses of tens of thousands of monsters have been frozen in Lake Baikal.

Flying from the air, the cold wind blows as cold as a knife, and ordinary monsters cannot fly at all. From the ice, large monsters will crush the ice. Basically, Baird Village only needs to guard against the attacks of some small monsters.

But even with the unique defense conditions, survival in Baird Village is still very difficult. In addition to possible attacks by monsters, the harsh environment often brings death. Food and housing can all bring extreme dangers and food shortages. , round ice houses are at risk of cracking due to extremely cold temperatures.

Even if there is only a crack in these ice-filled houses, the people inside the igloo may die instantly, because on Lake Baikal, the temperature difference between day and night can reach 40 to 50 degrees.

However, even under such harsh living conditions, hundreds of families still live here, because the loved ones of the Ice Goddess will occasionally come here and select some people from the village. As long as they are selected, they can serve the goddess. , become a favored one or an envoy of God.

This is a path that can soar into the sky. Once chosen, the future will immediately be different and it will bring boundless glory to the family.

Coincidentally, the loved ones of the Ice Lady Temple came to Baird Village on this day.

"I'm coming!"

A villager wearing thick animal skins stood on the only watchtower in the village, looking far into the distance. Soon, he saw two figures wearing light clothes, walking barefoot on the ice, step by step. Approaching the village of Baird in the snow and wind.

The two figures were only wearing tulle, and their bare feet were on the ice. There was no hint of coldness. In the temperature of dozens of degrees below zero, such clothing was simply a miracle.

"As expected, they are the ones favored by the gods. The cold wind can't harm them at all. This is a miracle. This is a miracle!"

"Hurry up, get ready to pay homage!"

"That's right, call everyone out and prepare to welcome the divine envoy!"

The villagers of Baird Village quickly came out of the igloo one by one and approached the entrance of the village. Each of these people had extremely excited expressions on their faces and waited at the entrance of the village.

Not long after, two graceful figures appeared from the wind and snow at the entrance of the village. The two figures looked extremely graceful, just like real wind elves. The two figures were blond, blue-eyed, tall and typical. of Nordic race.

This revival of spiritual energy is not just happening in China, but happening all over the world.

In China, monster beasts first appeared in large numbers, while in Europe, Tsarist Russia, North America, and other places, hell species initially appeared in large numbers, and later mythical species appeared in large numbers.

That is, in Greek mythology, Nordic mythology, North American mythology, hell, creatures from the underworld, and later there are various monsters that only exist in mythology.

But as the recovery of spiritual energy continues, some gods, evil gods, and strange gods from Greek mythology, Nordic mythology, and North American mythology began to appear one after another.

Of course, the more powerful the immortal monsters are, the longer it will take for them to wake up, and the longer it will take for them to return to their peak state.

There is a simple rule after the spiritual energy is revived. The earlier the great demon, immortal god, or god is revived, the lower the strength of their godhead will be. The later they wake up, the stronger they will be.

But in Li Mu's memory, anyone with a god character is not so easy to deal with. Even the Chinese mountain gods, wild gods, and grass-headed gods are not so easy for humans to deal with. These guys always have some flaws. With unexpected magical powers, you will suffer big losses if you are not careful.

Tsarist Russia is also quite special in this regard. There are many evil gods in this ghost place, and the good gods often do no better than the evil gods. Many good gods are even more cruel than the evil gods.

In addition, in the long history, the Slavic mythological system was eventually replaced by the Christian system represented by Orthodox Christianity, which also brought some confusion here.

In the memory of the Mechanical Emperor, after this spiritual energy recovery, the gods have also undergone certain changes. The level of divine power is no longer judged by whether the incense is strong or not, but by 'knowing'.

For example, the faster the name of a god spreads, the more powerful the god becomes. But when the name of a god is completely forgotten, it means that the god will completely fall and will never be revived.

Of course, this does not have much impact on the Chinese side, because on the Chinese side, the pillar of the Taoist heaven is the immortal, but the power of the immortal comes from itself. Even if everyone forgets it, its strength will not be affected at all.

Those affected are those who have converted to Shintoism, which is why there are many Taoist sects now. Taoism did not preach in the past, but now in order to help those Taoist gods regain their strength, they can only work hard to preach.

Fortunately, incense will of course also determine the strength of the gods, but this is only part of it. Now there is no need for people to believe in a certain god, it is enough to let the person know the god.

However, the most tragic thing about the Slavic mythology system is that their popularity is too low now. Few people in Tsarist Russia will often mention them, even in movies, TV, animation, and cartoons before the world changed. They are rarely mentioned in novels.

This also led to the fact that after the spiritual energy was revived, these gods of the Slavic system could only find ways to improve their divine power.

It's a pity that divine power cannot be cultivated. In the past, it required faith, but now it requires knowledge, but there are too few survivors in Siberia.

This makes the gods of the Slavic system quite embarrassed, while the gods of China face less embarrassment in this regard. After all, although too many people died after the great change of heaven and earth, the remaining population is still very large, and it needs to be spread throughout the world. A god name is not too difficult.

Even just making up an engaging story is enough.

For example, a certain god appeared and saved so-and-so, or certain people.

"Greetings to the Lord God's Favored One!"

The villagers of Baird Village all bowed their bodies and saluted the two tall girls with excitement.

"No need to be polite, everyone get up!"

One of the tall girls raised her hand and said.

A group of Baird villagers just stood up. In the Siberian ice field, the Ice Goddess has a very strong influence, and the place is actually completely out of human control.

Now if the gods of the Slavic system want to restore their divine power, they have to let more and more people know about them. This also leads to the fact that no matter how cruel they were in the past, they now have to imitate Lei Feng and do good deeds.

Otherwise, if you spread a bad reputation with cruelty, once you are considered by the ruler of a large human city to be an evil god, your temple will be destroyed, books will be burned, and dissemination and discussion will be banned. It is very helpless and easy to suppress your divine power. Therefore, most of the Slavic systems now Gods are trying to be a good person.

This is part of the reason why Baird Village on Lake Baikal has survived. There is a small church in the village, which can borrow part of the ice goddess's power to protect it.

In order to spread her divine name more widely and let humans continue to shout and pray to her divine name when encountering danger, the Ice Goddess has also been helping the surviving humans in Siberia.

However, not many people know what the gods are like under the majestic and glorious image.

"Are they all here?"

The tall blonde girl asked.

"Yes, Lord God's Favored One, all the girls of the right age in our village are here!"

The village chief replied respectfully.

Because survival is not easy, there are very few elderly people in Baird Village. Even the oldest person is only in his fifties. It will be difficult for older people to survive here. Even if they stay in an igloo every day, they can't stand it. of severe cold.

The two tall girls looked at each other. One of the girls took out an ice mirror from her arms and then shined it on all the girls.

This time they are only looking for girls. This time the selection of the God's Favored Ones is different from previous years. The villagers don't know why. Only these two God's Favored Ones know what they are doing.

A group of girls of different ages looked at the two tall girls awkwardly. Some even quietly hid behind their parents, but were pushed out by their parents.

Soon, two tall girls took the ice mirrors and looked at the girls one by one. Unfortunately, the ice mirrors did not react at all.

"Are these the only girls in the village?"

The tall girl asked reluctantly.

"Yes, Lord God's Favored One!"

The village chief replied uneasily, couldn't they choose even one person from Bedel Village this time?

"Okay, let's do this for now!" A tall girl took out a small bag from her waist, and then poured out some dried seeds from the bag.

"This is a gift from the Ice Goddess. These seeds can be used to grow mushrooms, even on the ice. When the mushrooms grow, eating these mushrooms will improve your resistance to severe cold. You can share them with me. Villagers, plant it!”

A tall girl said.

"Excellent, praise the goddess, praise the one favored by the gods!"

A group of villagers from Bedel Village all knelt down excitedly, chanting the name of the Ice Goddess and loudly praising the Ice Goddess's greatness.

After all, it will be easier for them to survive if there is food. Otherwise, the piranhas in Lake Baikal are not so easy to catch. If the ice is too thin, the piranhas will attack directly, but if the ice is too thick, they will not be caught at all. On to the piranhas.

The two tall girls were about to leave. At this moment, a little girl boldly said, "Lord God's Favored One, there is another wolf child in our village, also a girl. She hasn't come yet!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Pull her back quickly!"

The village chief's expression changed and he immediately scolded.

The little girl's mother quickly pulled her back.

"Is what she said true?"

The two tall girls immediately stopped and asked, "Do you know the consequences of cheating the goddess!"

"Don't dare, don't dare, Lord God's Favored One, that little girl was actually picked up by a hunter in the village from a wolf den last year. The girl is so thin and small, how could she be attracted by the goddess!"

The village chief was startled and said quickly.

In fact, the number of places for the selection of God's Favored Persons this time is limited. Everyone in Bedel Village hopes that their children can be selected, but if one more person is called, the possibility of their children being selected will be reduced, even if it is only reduced. It is also reduced at all.

Therefore, during this selection, the villagers in the village tacitly refused to let the little girl come.

But now that no one has been selected, it doesn't matter, so the village chief didn't dare to hide it and quickly told the matter.

"How can a mortal like you speculate on the goddess's choice? Where is that little girl now? Call her over!"

A tall girl shouted majestically.

"This, this, because of the lack of food, she had to work if she wanted to survive, so this time the hunting team set out to hunt, and she strongly requested to go with them!"

The village chief's face was ugly and he said calmly.
