Episode 52-Arhel (3)
There are two main reasons for Lemfra’s overwhelming charm compared to other gods.
One thing was that the apostles who heard him were pushing Lemfra too high.
Feint, Lem Pria and Isaac all mentioned that Lem Fra has a very nice voice and he must have a very handsome face.
None of them had ever seen Lemfra’s face properly, but when the apostles said that, people knew that it was normal and when they thought of Lemfra, they naturally drew a handsome figure.
The second reason was that he had very strong divine power as a creator god.
The vast amount of divine power had the effect of purely raising the level of that person.
Archel was also a god recognized in his own region, but he did not have as great a status as Lemfra, so he could not help but feel attracted to someone with a higher rank than himself.
Of course, the fact that Lemfra’s words were liked by Archel also played a part.
“Have you ever ventured beyond the Frozen Kingdom at least once?”
“No, no. I couldn’t even completely stabilize the empire right away, but I thought it was not enough to advance to other places. Just like you heard my story and accepted me as a powerful god, I could indirectly influence other countries around you. It’s enough to cause harm.”
“Then you don’t know anything about our mythology.”
Lemfra nodded softly and looked at Archel.
“If you go beyond the Frozen Kingdom, the number of villages drops drastically. They obviously have quite large grasslands.”
“You must have weak intellect?”
Archel nodded.
“When I first set foot in this world, it was the nomads who greeted me.”
“The nomads.”
Several thoughts passed through Lemfra’s head.
Nomads are beings that have been harassing the peoples who have lived a settled life on Earth for a long time.
“Beyond the Frozen Kingdom, there are numerous nomadic tribes living in a fairly gigantic grassland. It seems that the humans originally originated from a single nation, but as gods appeared in this world, their appearance and belief in gods changed. There is division, and that is what happens beyond the Frozen Realm, as we call it, in the steppe.”
“I can think of a few questions, can I ask them?”
“You can ask me anything you want. I’m here for that.”
“When I set foot in this world, I was born in only one village. It was a small village with a population of just 200 people, but they were poor at farming and depended on hunting and hunting. When you first encountered the nomads, what were they like?”
Archel remembered the first time she met them decades ago.
“The level of civilization would not have been so different. Even if they were nomads, horses had not yet been improved, and they did not live by plundering the surroundings, but hunted animals wandering in the grasslands or moved at regular intervals to gather grains from the ground. It was all about eating.”
“I’m glad I heard it.”
I thought of nomads who ride horses and plunder settlers, but it seems that the difference in civilization is not that great.
“Of course, it’s different now. Numerous gods saw animals resembling horses and improved them to develop horses that they could ride, and by making good seeds to burn the ground and raise their intellect, the number of people living a slash-and-burn lifestyle increased. “
“Do you plunder the nearby townships?”
“Yes.”
Archel nodded.
“The steppe is a wild place. Even if it is not abundant, it is guaranteed to have some resources, and it is different from a settlement where you can hold on in one place. It is a place where it is natural to invade others in order to spread your power. Such a place The warriors who survived the battle exchange myths with each other and never get tired of dealing with those who naturally belong to each other.”
“What’s the steppe’s mythological system like? Maybe the gods directly interfered, so I think it’s very different from the nomads of the earth?”
“No one has been able to unify the mythology. All tribes believe in their own gods and reject the gods of the other. Sometimes several tribes form blood ties and mix with each other’s myths, but in the end, they are their own. Proper harmony is impossible because the basic premise is that the god of is the best.”
“Which tribe is the strongest now?”
“Natasha is a tribe that follows a god. They expand aggressively from the beginning and take 500 tribesmen and 500 slaves with them. Not all of them move together, but they wear markings to identify each other, and they have a good relationship with each other. Build a bond.”
Is it because the environment is different?
The development of Shinhwa was different from places with affluent environments.
“What level are you at?”
“I’m one of the lowest tribes. However, I live with about 400 tribe members. Compared to the strongest tribe, I am lacking a lot, but even if only 3 tribes like me join forces, I can defeat the strongest tribe. You know. Now do you know why I’m here?”
“I guess you wanted to build a perfect alliance with my help?”
Archel nodded.
“The other two gods who have arrived here with me are gods who have promised me an alliance. However, we have not yet decided on a central point, and we are unable to cheer up because Natasha is holding us in check. “
“So, do you want me to be your focal point?”
“Yes, we all promised. Become Lemfra-sama’s servants, turn the three tribes into one completely, even if we struggle to live alone, we cannot defeat Natasha. To defeat Natasha, we must We need a powerful god like you.”
Archel knelt in front of Lemfra.
“It doesn’t matter if you’re not the goddess of beauty. It doesn’t matter if you don’t get treated by the Lord. Please accept us and let us use that powerful name of Lemfra. We will unite under Pranim, and let all civilizations that touch the steppe know the name of Lempr.”
Archel lowered his head and waited for Lemfra’s answer.
Her tension was transmitted to Lemfra as it was.
“It doesn’t matter if I’m not the goddess of beauty?”
“That’s right. As long as you accept me under Lemfra-sama, I can live no matter what.”
Lemfra smiled and looked down at Archel.
She was too good an offer for herself.
What on earth does Lemfra lose in Archel’s proposal?
When Archel uses her own name, she herself gains her divine power and a certain amount of magic, but she does not harm her.
If she accepts the hassle of proving her name by showing them her miracles, she will have the possibility to take her steppe into her own hands.
She didn’t suffer much loss if she didn’t get the prairie.
From noble mtl dot com
Lempra already dominated a large land, but the wide grassland where nomadic tribes roamed had a different meaning.
The nomadic tribes were able to play the role of carriers of the culture around them, and whenever they invaded other civilizations, Lemfra’s name would be known across the grasslands.
Of course, since the nomadic peoples are invaders, the myth about Lemfra wouldn’t be written well, but the fact that they were exerting influence on them was important. After all, history belongs to the victors.
After conquering them completely, you just have to rewrite the myth.
“You don’t fit in with the goddess of beauty. Archel, you’re quick to judge the situation and quick to make decisions, and I like it. Hear the same thoughts.”
When she heard that Archel’s heart, which shuddered at the thought of stepping down from her position as the goddess of beauty, was a waste for the position of the goddess of beauty, she began to tremble again.
“From now on, you are the goddess of the grassland. As you have been appointed as the goddess of the grassland by the creator god Lemfra, you will be able to exercise absolute power only in the grassland.”
Lemfra’s declaration was not just a verbal declaration.
In all the myths influenced by the Lem Phra myth, Archel is worshiped as the goddess of the meadow, and this will act as a very powerful force for her.
Archel mumbled at Lemfra’s words before finally opening his mouth.
“Can’t we just be the goddess of beauty?”
XD i thought it’s okay even if she’s not the goddess of beauty
