Summoning Total War

Chapter 65 God of War—Kratos! (superior)

Both parties are very satisfied with this transaction.

The rest of the time was relatively harmonious, and Murphy very cautiously asked the other party for some information about the Centaurs. Murphy knew too little about this world, and he was eager to learn more. However, the beautiful little mare seemed a little absent-minded. After completing the transaction with Murphy, her mind was entirely focused on settling the fruits and pastries on the table.

Well, because the cooperation was pleasant, Murphy ordered someone to bring her some pastries. In this era, sweets were a luxury that only nobles could enjoy, and the price of sugar was almost as high as the same volume of silver.

Something needs to be briefly introduced here.

That is, in the early days of mankind, the amount of iron was very scarce. In the age of mythology, there has always been a saying that many people must have heard of, and that is the ‘Iron Throne’!

——The throne of God is entirely made of iron!

This shows the value of iron in the past tense. It can be said that iron was far more precious than gold in the mythical age.

However, the world where Murphy currently lives is at the end of an era of transition from bronze to iron. There is not a small amount of iron mined. Compared with the Roman era BC, it is much more.

It’s not that the technology in this world is so high, but that there are many slaves in this world that are very suitable for mining!

In fact, Murphy has conducted experiments and found that the quality of weapons produced by human city-states is inferior to bronze weapons, because iron itself is relatively soft. Iron ore was first mined by the dwarves and gradually spread to all civilized races in the world. The amount of iron ore mined by humans is not small. Although it is not as good as the dwarves and orcs, it is much higher than other races.

The reason is that among the races living near humans, there are kobolds and goblins.

Kobolds and goblins are not powerful individually, and their groups are also scattered, which makes it easier for humans to capture them as slaves.

Both of them have talent bonuses in the underground mining industry, especially the kobolds. This kind of creature is naturally suitable for digging holes. Therefore, there has been quite a lot of iron ore mined by humans.

In the Roman era BC, it was the era when bronze ware developed to its peak, and it was also the end of the transition from bronze ware to iron ware. By this time, iron weapons had appeared in large numbers, but in the early days, due to the forging process, the quality of iron weapons was not as good as bronze. Both belonging to BC, bronze weapons were still dominant in the early Qin and Han Dynasties. It was not until the middle of the Han Dynasty that iron weapons completely replaced bronze weapons. However, at that time, bronzes still existed as daily necessities. It was not until the development of ceramic technology in the late Eastern Han Dynasty that bronzes truly withdrew from the stage of history.

In a sense, the development of human beings in this world still maintains a certain degree of similarity with the level of civilization in BC.

The only difference is that because there are other creatures in this world, they have many advantages in iron ore mining.

After sweeping away the pastries and fruits on the table, Milun finally stroked her slightly swollen belly and burped comfortably. As a nomadic race, the centaur's diet is closer to that of barbarians, which is to capture wild beasts, skin them, and then roast them on a campfire, or add some vegetables to stew them in a pot. When it comes to seasonings, just add a little salt or something like that.

When it comes to sugar and sweets, it’s definitely a luxury item that’s hard for them to eat!

Of course, in this era, even humans could only enjoy sugar from the aristocratic class.

There is a saying in China: 'Eat people with soft lips and take people with soft hands. ’

After receiving such hospitality from Murphy, the beautiful little mare's eyes became much softer when she looked at him. There was even a hint of anticipation, just like a little loli saw a lollipop and wanted another one after eating it.

"Do you humans already have your own gods?" Milune tilted her head, looked at Murphy carefully, and asked curiously.

"We are from the other side of the continent and came here because of a shipwreck. We believe in Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and she is a benevolent god." Murphy gave a specious answer.

"So, you are not humans from the southern plains?" The beautiful little mare stretched her body, and the taller peaks compared to humans made Murphy look away unnaturally.

Very sensitively, Murphy grasped the hidden meaning of the other party's words.

"Have you seen humans in other places?" Murphy asked.

"Yeah. In the northwest of the continent, the humans there are much taller and stronger than you. But they don't seem to be friendly, and they are at war with another race." Milune's eyes widened, with golden pupils. Murphy's figure was reflected, and she stared at Murphy for a while, then asked: "Without your own gods, you can't use the power of the elements. Since you already have your own gods, why don't you have any elemental power in your body?" Woolen cloth?"

Murphy's heart beat violently, and he clenched his hands into fists, then slowly released them.

"Our priests have mysterious powers. But I am just an ordinary person." Murphy said softly.

"A person favored by the gods actually said that he is an ordinary person." The beautiful little mare giggled. She smoothed her long light green hair, then pointed to her golden pupils and said, "Me too. A favored one by God.”

The one favored by God?

He was about to ask, but Milun didn't want to say anything at this point.

The only things left untouched on the table were the meat and the bottle of wine. Murphy opened the bottle, poured himself a glass, then pointed at the other person's long and narrow ears and asked, "Why are your ears different from theirs?"

Murphy pointed to other centaurs not far away.

"What is this? Does it taste good?" The little mare looked at Murphy pouring the wine with curious eyes. Seeing Murphy asking about her ears, she smiled and said softly: "My father is a man with divinity. A centaur with bloodline, and my mother is a dryad, so I was born with a little bit of dryad blood.”

Dryad?

Murphy suddenly remembered the legendary race that was somewhat similar to the centaurs that lived with the elves.

They are dryads and guardians of the jungle.

The former is the body of an elf plus the body of a female deer, while the latter is the body of an elf plus the body of a stag. They are all descendants of a certain half-body in the First Era, and they come from the same source as the centaurs.

"Tree demon? Do you also believe in Druid teachings?" Murphy asked curiously.

"My tribe believes in the Earth Doctrine of the Druid Doctrine. But other tribes believe in the Storm Doctrine. Those bastards use the power of elements to destroy nature." Speaking of this, the beautiful little mare seemed to A little angry, she said a bad word in front of Murphy for the first time.

"Hmm." Murphy was very sensible and didn't ask any more questions. He raised his glass and said slowly: "This is called wine. We call it a gift from the gods. It tastes good, but drinking too much will make you drunk."

"Wine? Is it made with the little thing you ate before?" Milun blinked and asked.

The eyes are really big. Murphy only noticed this at this time. At first, he was always involuntarily attracted to the other person's golden pupils, but he didn't notice them.

"Yeah." Murphy nodded.

The beautiful little mare picked up the wine bottle curiously, put it to the tip of her nose and smelled it, then poured out another glass and took a small sip, then drank it all in one gulp.

A blush appeared on her delicate face, and Milun filled another glass for herself. She looked at Murphy and smiled sweetly, and said: "It tastes pretty good."

Then the bottle of wine was quickly consumed.

And this beautiful little mare was also drunk...

"When people drink wine, horses eat grass. Don't horses eat grass and drink wine? Then they are not drunk horses."

It was already evening when the Centaur messenger was sent away.

The other party has reached a cooperation with Murphy, and in a few days they will send someone to bring silver to trade iron.

After returning to the territory, Murphy took the time to inspect the military camp. Cretan archers are being recruited and it is expected that they will be established in the next few days. The new cavalry is being trained. The blacksmith shop has already rushed out a batch of saddles and stirrups. Horseshoes are in the process of being made. I believe it won't take too long for a new cavalry unit to be formed.

"Your Majesty the Governor, the high priest please come over." As soon as he left the military camp, a temple guard rushed over.

"Yes." Murphy nodded after hearing this, and then rode towards the temple.

The sun was almost setting by this time.

After a tiring day, the townspeople of Athens are gathering at the temple, led by the priests, to pray to Athena, the goddess of wisdom, in order to obtain peace of mind.

This is the unique ability of priests, and it is most obvious in the high priest.

When Murphy arrived, the prayer service had already begun.

He handed the horse to the attendant and walked into the temple on foot.

In his retina, Murphy once again saw white rays of light condensed together. These rays of light were transmitted through the high priest to the statue of Athena, the goddess of wisdom. Immediately, golden light spread, and a sense of tranquility and tranquility spread. The atmosphere is filled.

The one favored by God?

What is a favored one?

Murphy had a slight doubt in his heart, but when he came to the high priest and stood at the connection point between the light and the high priest, something incredible happened to him!

These rays of light actually passed through his body and were directly transmitted to the statue of Athena, the goddess of wisdom!

Afterwards, Murphy felt a warm feeling all over his body, and the golden light from the statue also spread to his body! Just like the high priest! ! !

"Ding, system upgrade, data reorganization, reorganization progress 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%..."

"Introduce the Seleucid temple system, introduce the Macedonian temple system..."

Ignoring the special changes that had occurred on his body, Murphy immediately turned on the "Total War" auxiliary system after the data reorganization was completed.

On the temple interface, he found that there was another set of temple data that could be built.

These temples include the Temple of Love, the Temple of Trade, the Temple of Victory, the Temple of Power, the Temple of Agriculture, the Temple of Hunting, the Temple of Conquest, the Temple of Forging, the Temple of Health, and the Temple of Wine!

However, upon closer inspection, he found that most of the temples inside were unbuildable. Curious, he opened the temple, a symbol of power dedicated to the god-king Zeus.

"The God King Zeus has fallen in Ragnarok, and this temple cannot be built!"

In the "Total War" auxiliary system, the fallen gods are shown as Hermes 'God of Trade', Nike 'Goddess of Victory', God King Zeus 'God of Power', Demeter 'God of Agriculture' , Hephaestus 'God of Fire', Imhotep 'God of Medicine', Dionysus 'God of Wine'!

The only three temples shown to be able to be built are the Temple of Love, the Temple of Hunting, and the Temple of Conquest.

"So many gods have fallen? Has that idiot Ares not fallen yet?" Murphy curiously opened the page of the Temple of Conquest.

Soon, Murphy was shocked!

Then his hands trembled slightly, and finally his body trembled, and he looked up to the sky and let out a long laugh!

On the "Total War" auxiliary system, the following paragraph is displayed.

"This temple is dedicated to the God of War and Conquest - Kratos! The God of War Kratos is a true Spartan who can train other soldiers of the Greek civilization into Spartan warriors!"
