Chapter 567: No One Gives You Powers!
The soldiers looked at each other, didn't dare to speak much, and didn't dare to come out.
"Speak!" roasted Prince Baia.
"Eat, eat. The four of them had flushed faces and a smell of pork belly in their mouths.
"Is it delicious?!" roared the baron.
"Good, delicious. The four of them said again.
"Bastard!" Baron Sayre scolded.
"Useless waste. Prince Baia scolded.
Gao Li raised his hand, stopped the two of them from continuing to scold, and said, "Actually, you two should thank them." Because if they really do what you ask them to do, they create chaos in the shopping street or the snack street. Then the end result is that you will be wiped out, maybe you don't know it, there are many eyes on the top of your heads. ”
"If that's the case, we Eagle Demon won't give up. Baron Sayre said.
"I don't care if you give up or not, because my intention is to unite a group and kill a group. When you die, I have countless ways to make you die. As for the truth, no one cares at all. Gao Li said.
"What do you want? Did you bring us into this palace just to preach to us, or did it make it easier to kill us? Prince Baia finally couldn't help it and said loudly to Gao Li.
Gao Li smiled, and he said, "As I said before, I invited you here to discuss your future. ”
"Discuss?" the prince and baron looked at each other, they didn't understand what it meant?
"Yes, discuss, your warriors have followed you across the oceans for the sake of the Church. But now in this beautiful East, although they have left their homeland, they will have a better life. I need to let these people discuss for themselves whether they will choose a better life, or whether they will continue to follow you and become our enemies. Gao Li said.
It may sound like a simple matter of making a choice, but when you think about it, it's actually terrifying. If the warriors had to make a choice, if they wanted to stay in the East, it would mean that they would have to betray their lords, betray their commanders. And the betrayer usually does not end well, and there is only one way to make a betrayal.
The commanders are dead.
"I don't think you'd ever think you'd let someone else take control of your own destiny. Gao Li said, to put it mildly.
The prince and the baron brought with them more than five hundred men, most of whom were warriors, except for the officers and officers, who were now in front of everyone, neither knowing what to say nor doing, and staring wide-eyed.
Gao Li waved his hand, and the Wang Wang team walked out from the side, Yaya was full of smiles, holding a big gun in her hand, the muzzle of the gun was pointed, and the eagle demons all had their hearts beating faster.
After coming to Yannan City for so long, if you still don't know how powerful this weapon is, wouldn't you be deaf and blind?
Gao Li faced the eagle demons and said in eagle language: "Okay, all eagle demon brothers, today, I, Gao Li, the city lord of Yannan City, the king here, will give you a chance to speak freely." You can ask all the troubles in your hearts and all your doubts. As the king here, I assure you that no one will take revenge on you, and no one will harm you. Because before me, everyone is equal, and your position in your hometown is meaningless in front of me!"
"Remember, this is the only chance. Gao Li added.
If Gao Li didn't know anything about these eagle demons, he wouldn't dare to play like this. But the eagle demons around Gao Li include queens, small nobles, church members, and ordinary people. Gao Li already had a thorough understanding of the social composition of the entire Eagle Demon at this time, so he believed that these warrior groups composed of most of the lower-level Eagle Demons must have too much dissatisfaction with these middle and upper classes.
It's just that they don't dare to say it now, and someone needs to take the lead.
"So, let me start with that. A man walked out from behind the crowd, and that man was Custer.
At this time, Custer had already changed into a brand new robe, which was given to him by Gao Li, using high-quality fabrics and dyed pure black. Without a hint of superfluous ornamentation, it symbolizes simplicity, completely different from the luxury that once represented the church.
The prince and the baron didn't know Custer, but they knew that the guy must have come out to find trouble.
"Excuse me, Lord Baron, how many serfs do you have?" asked Custer as he came up.
Baron Cell, not knowing what he meant, was silent.
Seeing this, Custer smiled and said, "Why is there so many serfs in the Baron's family, can't you even remember yourself?"
Baron Serge said coldly: "I just suspect that you are not our person, you are pretending to be someone from the High City Lord, right?"
Custer said, "It's good that I'm a high city lord, but if you say I'm pretending, then you're very wrong. My name is Custer, and I grew up in the Duchy of McWell, and the Bishop adopted me as a baby and raised me to be a strong missionary. So rest assured, I am as faithful to God as anyone else. Baron Cell, please don't digress the subject, please tell us how many serfs you have in your family, or do you dare not say it in front of these brothers?"
Baron Cellre said: "Less than a thousand, this is not something unseemly, what is there not to say?"
Custer said: "Of course, this is not uncommon in our Western Continent, and there is nothing that we dare not say, all nobles, no matter how big or small, do not have a few serfs?"
Then Custer turned to look at Gao Li: "But not here. ”
"We all know that serfs don't have land of their own, they don't have names of their own, they are bought and bought like cattle. The only thing they can have is their own master, and even whether they live or die, life cannot be freely controlled. If a serf dares to commit suicide in secret, then all the serfs who are with him will be severely punished. Am I right? ”
Custer said.
"Is this a secret?" asked Baron Cell.
"No, but is it reasonable?" asked Custer rhetorically.
"Of course it is reasonable, we are eagle demons, children of God! God has given us power!" said Baron Cell, proudly, and his words had some effect, at least some people's eyes gradually became feverish.
Yet Custer said, "If we are sons of God, why do we look so different from God?"
This question made many people stunned at once.
Indeed, the Harpy has long referred to himself as the Son of God. But anyone who has ever seen God knows that God actually doesn't look like an eagle demon, but more like a monkey demon. If this matter is left to Gao Li to explain, then Gao Li will tell them that it is because the monkey demon was the favorite race of the god back then, and the god reshaped the face and body of the monkey demon in their own image.
And at such a time, it is quite meaningful to throw this kind of question up.
"Custer, what do you mean by that?" Baron Sayre's voice sank.
"I mean, maybe we're not sons of God. We're not even the only race that can fly, and God hasn't even given us more and stronger weapons. If we really are God's favorite race, why didn't God give us a stronger weapon and a better life than the High City Lord when we came here? Many of us have not even seen God's side. So who has ever seen God? Yes, only the archbishop. With the exception of the archbishops, all those who can glimpse God are none other than the bishops. All of them knew that God didn't look like us, maybe God didn't love me at all, and that God just made some deal with the archbishops. ”
Baron Cell's sudden outrage roared, "Listen to what you are talking about, you heresy, do not want to deceive our staunch believers. ”
"Heresy?" said Custer, shaking his head, "only what God has said is true, and everything but the word of God is heresy, but in our homeland, in that land that claims to be shrouded in the glory of God, who of you and I have heard God speak to us himself." ”
"No, not at all. The so-called oracles we hear come from the church. Don't say it's you, even me. ”
But since we came here, we've seen God with our own eyes, heard Him speak to us, and we all know that God isn't always on high. ”
Baron Cell, in a low voice, "What do you want to say?"
Custer smiled and said, "Since the existence of God is not credible, then the special rights that God has given you do not exist. So why are you, the nobles, superior to others, depriving others of their freedom and calling them serfs? ”
"In other words, if you think that the rights given to you by God really exist, why don't you let God punish you right now and turn all the wingless races in this Yannan City into your slaves?"
"So, there has never been an oracle, and you have never been born nobles, everything is a lie woven by you great nobles and the church, right?"
If this kind of thing had been a month ago, every one of the invitees present would have thought Custer was crazy. Then the babbling fool would be tied to a log and burned alive.
Because he was questioning God's authority.
But now, after Custer said that, almost everyone believed it.
The reason is simple, everyone has seen God, and everyone has seen life in another world.
The most important people all realized one thing from Custer's words.
No one is born an aristocrat, which means maybe they can too.
