A windless autumn day, a rare good weather. In a wheat field by the river, crowds gather together to participate in their most enjoyable harvest festival.

One female deer, two wild boars, were slaughtered and roasted on the fire. Those faces that were once full of numbness were filled with joyful smiles, and it was the joy that food brings.

These farmers are not numb by nature, but simply because there is no hope in life. But now, every serf who participated in the autumn harvest could realize that it would be a well-fed winter.

Yes, they are easy to satisfy.

On the wooden platform, Leah, Alice, Linda, Elena, and Luna, all dressed in beautiful holiday dresses, looked at the joyous crowd with smiles on their faces.

"Leah. Alice personally handed her short cane into Lia's hand: "Festive cane, hand it over to you, and announce to the farmers that our harvest is to be made." ”

"Nope. Lia shook her head, looked at Alice gently, and returned the cane to her hand tightly: "Alice, it should be up to you to declare, this is your achievement, I am proud of you." ”

"Okay. Alice saw encouragement in Leah's eyes, and then with a short cane in her hand, she faced the crowd and said in a clear and loud voice, "Lords of the Blackstone Collar!

The audience fell silent, and a pair of eyes looked over with eagerness and awe.

"Under the blessing of the gods, our Black Stone Territory has had a good harvest, and each and every one of you has paid for it. I promise in the glory of the Sander family that you will have a well-fed and warm-clothed winter. ”

Eating well and dressing warmly is the greatest gift. The farmers cheered, and their joy was palpable.

"Karrick, uncle, you can make an announcement. ”

"Yes, Lord Alice. ”

Karrick, who was standing under the stone platform, respectfully saluted the stage, and then faced the crowd: "I declare that every family can receive twice as much food as in previous years. Also, every family will get cotton, so you can eat better and dress warmer. ”

For the uneducated peasants, there is no need for flowery words, the most simple and straightforward grain and cotton, instantly ignited the crowd, and bursts of cheers rang out.

Double the grain, and cotton!

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the kindness and gift of your lordship. Karrick raised his arms and shouted: "Our Black Stone Comprehension will usher in the light, and next autumn will usher in a greater harvest!"

"Thank you for your kindness!"

"Thank you, Lord!"

The cheering farmers hugged each other happily, and many of them shed tears of happiness. Standing on the stage, Liya looked at the crowd in front of her, her eyes were slightly moist, and she was full of emotion in her heart.

As a benevolent lord, she has fantasized countless times about the joyous scenes of the farmers. But her sanity told her that it was hard to do.

But today, Alice did, and proved to her by her practical actions that the great gods of her mouth brought the most simple pleasures to these lowly farmers.

Gently patting Alice's shoulder, Leah admired from the bottom of her heart: "Alice, you have done what I can't do." In times of crisis, you saved the Blackstone Collar and the Sander family. ”

"Leah, that's my responsibility. Alice, who felt extremely satisfied, had a confident smile on the corner of her mouth: "We will definitely usher in light and happiness, and under the inspiration of the gods and the guidance of wisdom, we will surpass the glory of our ancestors." ”

......

At sunset, the harvest festival comes to an end. At a dinner party in the castle, Alice fulfills her promise and tells the truth about what happened after Leah left.

And Linda, Elena, Luna, and Carrick all corroborated and supplemented them one by one.

After understanding everything, Leah solved the doubts in her heart, and gradually understood the decision made by Alice, and also had a sense of identification with the gods she believed in.

Yes, in the meticulous description, Lia found that she did not see any of the characteristics of the evil gods, but instead felt wave after wave of shocks of wisdom and knowledge.

The irredelible evidence shows the charm of knowledge, as well as the profound vision and amazing wisdom of the gods.

What touched her the most was that these girls were in pain, loneliness, and helplessness. When they were confused and hesitant, the gods patiently enlightened them, using philosophical words to lead them step by step to become happy and confident.

This is true merciful salvation.

Leah couldn't find any reason to argue with it.

And Alice's rhetorical question completely shook Lia's faith.

"Leah, ask your heart, faith in the Holy Spirit, what have you gained?"

Oh, yes!

What did I gain?

Belief?

Benevolent?

Glory?

Guts?

No, the moment the Blackstone Knights fell, it all began to crumble. She felt a kind of despair, a despair abandoned by the Holy Spirit.

Not only herself, but the Duke of Ceylon, blessed by the Holy Spirit, was always full of what was in his heart?conspiracy??

There is also the Church of the Holy Spirit.

What is the purpose of their existence? Prayer and repentance? The priests, who do not work, enjoy the financial support of the nobility and collect the taxes that the nobles have in exchange for their sweat.

Without contrast, there is no harm.

When she learned true kindness and wisdom, Leah suddenly discovered that the Holy Spirit she believed in existed only in prayer and scriptures, and that only those who had wealth and power could be blessed and blessed.

Holy Spirit Knight, the being that Ria had dreamed of becoming.

As she carefully recalled the criteria for promotion, she suddenly felt a shudder. Only true believers who give everything to the Holy Spirit can be blessed by the Holy Spirit.

The Duke of Ceylon's eldest son, Albert, was a recognized mediocrity, with little praise for his horsemanship, swordsmanship, or spearmanship, but in the biennial promotion ceremony, Albert ranked first in the Soul Cathedral of Waterdeep - on the grounds that he was pious enough.

Reverent?

How exactly is it measured?

Status, status, or wealth?

Looking at the heroes of the Holy Spirit Knights, Leah was surprised to find that the heroes who were recorded, without exception, were all nobles of great fame.

Leah's father, Jarrot, a young knight known for his superb riding and swordsmanship, won the Silver Star on the school floor, which represents the knight's skill, but in the end, he was not promoted until the age of thirty on the grounds that he was not pious enough, which became a lifelong regret.

Absurd?

Amusing?

Whether it is religious or not depends entirely on the list read by the cardinal archbishop.

When faith collapses, it is like a flood bursting its banks. When the seeds of doubt grow and grow, all the irrationality will be magnified and become the water that waters the seeds.

Based on her trust in Alice, and the repeated blows of the truth, Leah suddenly discovers that believing in a foreign god is far more than believing in the Holy Spirit, gaining more accomplishments, and more knowledge that is enough to bring prosperity to the Blackstone Realm.

......

In the middle of the night, Leah lay on the bed tossing and turning, never able to sleep. The sensible Alice is not around, but intimately leaves her a private space to think and choose independently.

Alice showed her wonderful metal abilities, and this ability, the gods did not ask her to kill enemies and defend the dignity of the gods, but patiently imparted knowledge and turned it into a magical tool.

Knowledge......

What a wonderful and magical word.

——

The three-eyed crow in the darkness watched Leah silently. With Alice's golden shovel, Leah's concept has changed dramatically, which can be clearly seen from her uneasiness and entanglement.

Her faith was shaken.

Eye of Insight, activate!

Tiredness increases by 5%.

Name: Leah Sander.

Belief in God: Blessed of the Holy Spirit, God of Light, Azumat.

Faith: 18% (Wavering)

Loss: 61% (Confused)

Trait: Inactive

Potential: ★★★★

The results of the inspection confirmed Qin Song's judgment, although the degree of faith was still 18%, but the subsequent 'wavering' proved that she had begun to doubt the Holy Spirit.

Of course, Qin Song will not give up this good opportunity to strike while the iron is hot, the first native four-star witch, and he is determined to win.

In the wee hours of the morning, Leah fell into a deep sleep with a lot of confusion and doubts. And the phase tentacles appeared silently beside her.

The pretty face with long fiery red hair, the eyebrows are slightly wrinkled, and the expression is a little stiff. Ria enters a dream in the castle grounds, where her father, Jarrot, is smiling at her in a heroic posture with a knight's sword in his hand.

"Leah, my daughter. The father looked young, his beard was neatly trimmed, and his eyes were full of love: "To become a knight of the Holy Spirit, it takes not only faith, but also skill. ”

"Dad, I remember. ”

Leah, who was also wearing a suit of armor, didn't realize that she was dreaming, as if she had really returned to a certain day when her father was alive, listening carefully to his teachings, and working hard to chop and practice on wooden targets.

"You're doing a great job, Leah. Jarot nodded from time to time, guiding the details: "Don't use your wrist to exert force, use your waist to exert force, and mobilize the muscles of your whole body." ”

"Orcs and humans are different in that they are taller and bulkier. So dexterity, dexterity is key. They have rough skin and thick flesh, and it is a fool's choice to chop and slash, and with a sword stab, their heart is higher than ours. ”

"Yes, good direction. However, the strength is a little worse, and the orcs will wear rudimentary leather armor, which must be pierced in order to inflict damage. ”

"Yes, yes, yes......!

Just as Leah followed her father's instructions and stabbed a precise sword, the dream scene switched without warning, and in the humid and dense jungle, a huge blood-stained war hammer suddenly appeared.

With a pop, Knights Captain Mark's chest was cracked by a hammer, and hot blood splattered Leah's face.

She stood there in a daze, a flash of horror in her eyes, and the thin sword in her hand began to tremble, just like she looked at the orc centurion with the warhammer in hand, grabbed Mark's neck, and easily unscrewed it off.

Then the orc centurion turned, carrying Mark's angry-eyed head in his hand, his eyes full of mockery.
