Chapter 195: The Fury of Amberlee
As a medium-powered deity, the sea goddess Amberlee has many titles, such as the Queen of the Deep Sea, the Mother of Waves, and the Goddess of Storms. The most memorable one is the shrew goddess.
She is really a "shrew goddess" image.
She is vicious, mean, and evil. She is the nightmare of all sailors and coastal residents on the continent of Faerun. She often destroys the agreements previously reached with others at will and watches them being swallowed by the sea for fun.
She is also extremely vain, likes to listen to all kinds of flattery, is also committed to the pursuit of more power, and is keen to show others the power she has.
Most of her believers fear her rather than fear her. She has a large number of shrines in coastal cities. Sailors often leave flowers, candles, small candies, or coins on her altar, hoping that Amberlee will let them go on the next voyage.
Moody, untrustworthy, forgetful of righteousness when seeing small profits, and reckless, what else is this if not a shrew?
If it weren't for the protection of Talos, the God of Storms, she would have been killed long ago.
In Baldur's Gate, she has a temple called [Water Queen Temple]. She hopes that others will call her the Water Queen, so that she feels comparable to Stysia, the God of Water Element.
Baldur's Gate is the most important trading city on the west coast. Through this temple, she can influence Baldur's Gate and let the ships sailing on the sea spread her reputation.
Now, in Baldur's Gate, her believers are decreasing, and they have joined the "Hot Pot God".
Especially the Hot Pot God, who is just a weak little Karami!
Such a bastard, not coming to pay homage, dares to pry her believers!
How can she not be angry!
Her anger caused waves in the Grey Harbor outside Baldur's Gate, and her anger brought storms that made the waves hit the Baldur's Sea Tower and [Water Queen Temple] in Baldur's Gate.
In the temple, the priests of Umberley knelt before the statue of the goddess of the sea. They wore tight blue leotards and large blue capes decorated with white fur, representing the foaming waves.
"Go! Kill them!"
The roar of the gods rang out in the temple. The oracle was simple and clear, and Umberley's high priest Salins accepted the oracle.
She had a shark-like face, and after she pleased Umberley. Umberley blessed her and changed her form permanently, allowing her to swim in the sea forever.
Salins took the trident in the temple, which was one of Umberley's favorite weapons and also contained Umberley's divine power, which could be regarded as a divine weapon.
She lit up five more priests and set off to the temple of the God of Hot Pot.
The priests represented the will of the gods and demonstrated the majesty of the gods. Unlike the priests that most people think of, high-level priests are as good at fighting as high-level mages.
In particular, some gods are extremely protective of their shortcomings. If you kill his senior henchmen, he will personally come down to beat you to death. It is really unethical.
So there are no gods on the surface in the continent of Faerun, but it is influenced by gods everywhere.
The temple of the God of Hot Pot is still so lively, and people in line are getting their numbers at the door. Not far from the queue, there are many noble carriages. The temple of the God of Hot Pot is first come first served, and latecomers have to queue up no matter what your status is.
These nobles claim that they have never eaten anything, but in the noble circle, the nobles who have eaten hot pot have praised the deliciousness of hot pot to the sky, and you would be too low if you don’t eat it.
Therefore, many nobles arranged servants to queue up, while they waited in the carriage on the side.
As for the absurd doctrine of the God of Hot Pot, in the eyes of these nobles, although it is a bit boastful, it is okay. It is much better than those Baal churches that want to kill people after joining the church, or claiming that the end of the world and dragons will eventually rule the world.
There are all kinds of strange sects in Baldur's Gate, and having one more Hot Pot Cult will not have much impact.
These nobles were waiting, and they felt that the sky suddenly blew up, and strong winds and dark clouds covered Baldur's Gate. The high priestess of the goddess of the sea, Salins, known as the Lady of Waves, held a trident and led a few people to the temple of the God of Hot Pot with a fierce momentum.
Fut Trial was in an inconspicuous carriage, and saw Salins and others through the curtains on the carriage. As the eldest son of the Trial family, he is also a mage. Although he can only use a 4-ring 8th-level mage.
The professional level of the continent of Faerun is 1-20, and the magic level corresponds to 0-9 ring spells. For example, a 3rd-level mage can use a 2nd-ring spell, and a 5th-level mage can use a 3rd-ring spell.
"It seems that the temple of the God of Hot Pot is in trouble." Fut Trial said gloatingly. For a profession like the mage who pursues knowledge, warlocks and priests are looked down upon. The former relies on bloodline to cast spells, and the latter relies on gods to cast spells.
In the eyes of mages, these two professions have no technical content at all! Do they understand the mage structure? Do they know the drawings of the four spell structures of "Spider Web"? Casting spells without knowing anything is really vulgar!
"This unknown temple dares to provoke a shrew, I'm afraid it will not be good!" The speaker was another person in the carriage, that was Fute Trial's friend and classmate, the 9th-level mage Basilu.
"It's a pity that they have blown the taste of hot pot to the world, the most delicious in ancient and modern times. It seems that there is no chance to taste it." Fute Trial said mockingly when he mentioned "them".
"It's not a loss to be able to watch the excitement of two sects!" Basilu said with a chuckle.
Just as the two people were talking, many people saw these priests of the sea goddess Umberley, especially Salins. Even if you don't know her, you know that she is a senior priest of Umberley by seeing her shark-like face. What's more, the trident in her hand is shining with spiritual light, and it is not an ordinary item at a glance.
"I come to ask for punishment on behalf of the great mother of waves, and those who have nothing to do with it should retreat quickly!" Salins said coldly at the door of the temple of the hot pot god.
One of the three mainstream beliefs in Baldur's Gate is the sea goddess Umberley. When the people who were eating hot pot in the temple heard it, they immediately panicked and fled everywhere. After all, Umberley is not a reasonable person. If you kill you by mistake, can you still go to the temple to ask for punishment?
The priest Qidete behind Wang Jinjue looked at the sea goddess priest who was asking for punishment, and his eyes hurt because of the shining spiritual light on the other party. He is a spellcaster, so he can naturally see the magic aura of magic items.
As a former follower of Umberley, he knows how terrible Umberley is. Their high priest Wang Jinjue has no magic aura at all. But for the God of Hot Pot, he decided to fight, anyway, he will die!
How did Umberley die?
