Chapter 190: Melting
Putte East Coast, Tivian.
In the daytime, somewhere in Tivian, on a bustling street, a dark carriage was passing through the road. Dorothy was sitting in the carriage driven by her own corpse-coachman. She had just helped Misha deal with the necromancy of the Security Bureau. At this moment, she took out the reward given by Misha from the magic box and began to read the three legends brought out from the Security Bureau one by one.
Since these transmissions were used by Dorothy to fill the gaps in her spirituality, she wanted the transmissions of the two spiritualities that she urgently needed, that is, the transmissions mainly of "stone".
The first book is titled "The Secret of Minerals", which is a book that analyzes the mystical meanings of various minerals. In this book, the author explains the different functions and connotations of different types of minerals in mysticism, explains what parts of rituals they can be used in, and explains the different roles that different minerals can play in the process of making extraordinary tools, and also briefly touches on the production techniques of some spiritual storage objects.
In this book, the author says that although the essential property of minerals and metals is "stone", different minerals and metals have different degrees of adaptability to other spirits. The spiritual adaptability of metal and stone is a basic subject that every "stone" craftsman must master. It can be said to be the theoretical basis for the creation of many extraordinary tools. It is very profound. This book does not discuss these contents in detail, but only briefly mentions them and simply lists some examples of adaptability.
For example, gold is highly adaptable to "lamp". Silver and "shadow" get along well. Except for human bones, iron is a material that is highly adaptable to "silence". As for "cup", because it is naturally repelled by "stone", all metal and stone materials are not highly adaptable to "cup", only copper is slightly stronger, and among non-metal and stone materials, wood is more adaptable. However, for many "cup" structures nowadays, they have the most effective flesh and blood in their hands, so they don't think much of other things. Although "stone" itself is not picky, in order to express their respect for the spirituality of "stone", craftsmen are more inclined to choose to use the rock itself to make "stone" tools.
'This biography mainly introduces the spiritual tendencies of different materials. I feel that this is a bit like the situation of spiritual storage. The storage of "Lamp" is generally gold coins, while that of "Shadow" is silver coins. In addition to bone fragments, "Silence" has iron coins, while "Cup" is directly out of the category of gold and stone. It has a peculiar storage of dried meat, which can be eaten as a storage item. This is indeed quite special.
'In these examples, a total of 5 types of spiritual material adaptability were introduced, but the last one, the 'Qi' spirituality, was not mentioned. This may be because for 'Qi', spiritual storage alone is relatively precious and expensive. They do not have enough spiritual aids for experiments, so there are no relevant results. This is the same as the situation in the legend about the elementalization of spirituality that I read above.'
Sitting in the carriage, Dorothy thought this after reading the examples given in the first book of the legend. Then she began to concentrate on extracting the spirituality contained in the content of this book and obtained 4 points of "Stone".
After finishing the first biography, Dorothy did not stop, she immediately put the biography in her hand aside, picked up the second one and began to study it. This biography was still written in "stone", and its name was "Divine Refining of Stone". It recorded a part of the notes of an extraordinary archaeologist named Zakae. The content he verified was the non-human civilization called dwarves that existed in the distant ancient times.
The author of this biography once accidentally discovered a dwarf ruins built deep in the mountains. He spent many years studying the damaged records in the ruins. After some of his own imagination and construction, he tried to restore the living conditions of the dwarf civilization at that time. The notes in Dorothy's hands record the myths and stories circulated in the so-called dwarf civilization.
This story happened in the ancient times long ago, when all wisdom and civilization were just beginning. There was a group of humanoid civilization called dwarves active in this world. They were short in stature and lived deep in the mountains. They mined precious rocks and made exquisite tools. They were the world's first miners and stonemasons. Because they lived in the mountains all year round, they worshiped all metal and stone themselves. They regarded the earth and mountains as gods, and called themselves the lords of the mountains and the gods of rocks.
The dwarves worship the incarnation of thousands of rocks of mountains and earth as their god, and call this god "Tango" in the dwarven language, which means greatness and foundation. However, the rock god is not a god suitable for worship. The nature of the rock god is inert, and tends to be unchanging and stable. The rock god does not approve of change, or the process of change that he approves of and creates is so long and slow that intelligent creatures cannot experience it in their short lifetime.
Therefore, in the eyes of many dwarves, their gods are slow and even stupid. A prayer that gathers the will of the entire tribe may take hundreds of years to get a vague response. Some dwarves realized that worshipping the Rock God would not help their race more. The Rock God is not suitable for a god worshipped by a civilization, so the dwarves took the initiative to seek change for their gods.
The dwarves turned to other gods in the world at that time for help, and two gods who were very active at that time responded to their request. One was the sun god who was high in the sky and shone on the earth with the sun wheel, bestowed fire on all races and taught them how to control it. He was called "Kago" in the dwarven language, which means "great glory". The other was the god of enlightenment who controlled the thunder and passed it to the mortal world with the thunder of heaven, symbolizing wisdom. He was called "Fago" in the dwarven language, which means "great revelation".
The God of Enlightenment and the God of the Sun responded to the dwarves' request and communicated with the God of Rock, but even they could not change the lazy nature of the God of Rock. So at this time the God of Enlightenment came up with an idea. Since they could not change the God of Rock, they could create a new god from him.
So after communicating with the God of Rock, the God of Enlightenment presided over the design, and the God of the Sun personally "carved" out a part of the God of Rock, and used his own power to hammer and calcine it, and finally shaped the God of Rock, the master of all smelting and forging, into a new god named Craftsman, Queen of the Furnace, and the dwarves called her "Tango Mo".
The God of Craftsman comes from the God of Rock. On the one hand, it can be said that she is the eldest daughter of the God of Rock, or the incarnation of the God of Rock, or even a different expression of the other side of the God of Rock's divinity. The God of Craftsman comes from the God of Rock, but she is more energetic and can actively participate in mundane affairs. She is more suitable to be worshipped as a god by a civilization, so most dwarves worship the God of Craftsman as their main god. The God of Craftsman also replaced the lazy God of Rock as the main god of the dwarves, and the God of Rock was happy to see this. At the same time, there are also a small number of dwarves who are unwilling to give up their belief in the God of Rock and continue to insist on their own beliefs. Therefore, some sects different from the mainstream beliefs of the dwarves have evolved.
'The content of this biography... is quite a lot, and it is a biography that records the contents of a long time ago. Dwarves... Rock God... Craftsman God... If the myths and traces in this biography are true, then it will be very interesting.'
Looking at the content of the new article in front of her, Dorothy stroked her chin and thought with interest, and then continued to analyze.
'It mentions a non-human civilization race called dwarves. Obviously, this is a myth from the first era, or even the early second era. The rock god mentioned here, could it be the Stone Prince who is the master of the mountains? And the craftsman god is the core of the order? Or are they the predecessors of the Stone Prince and the core of the order?
'Regardless of whether the core of the structure is the God of Craftsman, based on the descriptions of the Stone Prince's faith that I found before, which all mentioned the characteristics of inertia, initiation, and immutability, the Rock God should be the Stone Prince. If the God of Craftsman is really the core of the structure, then the relationship between Him and the Stone Prince is similar to the relationship between the subject and the incarnation... However, just looking at this biography, it is not possible to confirm whether the core of the structure and the God of Craftsman can be directly equated.
"According to the legend, the God of Craftsman is the god of the dwarves, but the dwarven civilization no longer exists in this era. It is possible that the God of Craftsman perished along with the dwarven civilization. The Core of the Order may be the successor of the God of Craftsman..."
Looking at the contents of the legend, Dorothy speculated in her mind, and then she shifted her attention to other aspects of this mythical story.
