Chapter 54: The So-Called Gods
In addition to appeasing Elena, Leo also had to face the doubts of the Duke www.biquge.info of Lancaster and others, after all, in addition to his direct subordinates, the scene of his disappearance that day was too shocking for the native nobles of this world, and in the year since he left here, even under the spread of some kind of well-intentioned person, several theories that he suffered divine punishment have gradually spread among all levels
Fortunately, for this kind of thing and the people who spread rumors, the armed forces of Stormwind City or the Duchy of Pande, led by the Knights of Punishment, are very simple and rude in dealing with it, that is, regardless of identity and status, as long as there is clear evidence to support it, there is only one consequence for those who spread it, and that is death!
The whole family of the heavy one was wiped out from the mainland, and the light or the fool who followed the crowd could not escape his own punishment, and then the whole family was confiscated
You must know that in the East and the West in any era, leaving aside long-term governance, it is always more effective to achieve the end and suppress dissenting voices in the short term......
As for the reason for his disappearance, Leo except for some parts that could not be said under the coercion of the system, and the rest of the nobles who were most concerned about it were told bluntly in a way that was true and three false
He candidly characterizes the demons of the other continent and the purpose of his coming here from his hometown as a war between two gods (civilization and multidimensional universe cannot be understood by these people at all, anyway, in front of humans, those two chess players are equivalent to gods!). )
In the war, a god used extraordinary means to completely wipe out Leo's chance to lead mankind to victory, so he made a move directly aimed at himself, which is the root cause of the accident at the engagement ball, of course, the other god who discovered these in time must not be ignored, so in the battle, because of the protection, Leo was sent back to his hometown by his own gods
Of course, he didn't mention that his hometown was a strange earth to everyone, but tacitly acquiesced in the misunderstanding that the nobles thought was Pande
And then...... However, after the mutual compromise of the gods of both sides, Leo was sent back here again, and he will lead the human race to continue the fight against the invading demonic forces......
After nearly two hours of narration, Leo picked up the black tea in front of him and slowly tasted the familiar taste, to be honest, because he had not been carefully prepared before, there were many loopholes in his explanations, but considering the era he was in now and the strangeness of disappearing that day, and then pulling the gods as tiger skins, it made everyone unable to raise any doubts about the thoughts
Don't doubt that even on the earth, where technology has developed to a certain extent, because of the limitations of human cognition, the theory of gods still exists, and in this era, gods are not only people's spiritual sustenance, but also the best explanation for all unknown and incomprehensible things!
Only Fein and other people who have materialized from Pander have some understanding of the truth and the reason for the matter, but obviously, they are not stupid enough to point this out, and perhaps to some extent, the existence that can give them real life and bring them here is indeed equivalent to a god......
The bustling aristocrats in the palace hall were surprisingly quiet after Leo spoke, and it took a long time for the Duke of Lancaster, who was in the highest position, to speak hesitantly
"Your Highness, are you saying that all of this, including the reincarnation of the demonic invasion once in a thousand years, and even the separation of the two continents, these things that are clearly recorded in legends or history books, are all related to the two gods in your mouth? The causes of countless human suffering are simply ...... It's just that they play in boredom, I ......"
Putting down the teacup in his hand, Leo looked around, most of the nobles had a similar expression on their faces as the Duke of Lancaster, it was a mixture of bitterness, grief, anger and fear after the collapse of faith, and perhaps a little luck and doubt......
Shaking his head, Leo stood up and first calmed the old man who was a little agitated, and then spoke aloud
"I can understand the thoughts of His Excellency the Duke and you, and believe me, I really understand you! Because once upon a time I had a similar thought to you, that whatever the gods are or not, they, or these high beings, should be loving, merciful, and ...... is to ignore the relatively humble us"
After a few steps back and forth, Leo's emotions were clearly a little agitated after being affected
"But after going through some things, I understand that even those higher beings who are high up in the name of gods and spirits that we have, as long as they are not out of the realm of life, they will have the same joys, sorrows, and emotions, and some of you don't understand, get angry, and feel that they have imposed pain on us, but to use ourselves as an analogy, as human beings, when we hunt and play, do we ever care about the idea that we can't resist the beast? Yes and no! Perhaps the so-called gods are treating us in the same way, whether humans or demons, just toys and prey in their leisure time......"
With that, Leo took a few breaths and pointed at Kane Lancelot to signal him to stand beside him
"I don't mean to deny the faith, everyone around me should know that the Holy Light Cult itself was almost created by me, and you have all seen that with the efforts of Archbishop Kane and many believers, the Holy Light has now spread almost the entire territory of the Principality, and a good faith will make people strong and learn to be humble and reverent, which is not wrong! The only thing that is wrong is that we are accustomed to pinning on the ethereal gods in everything, yes, we are powerless to resist some of the games that exist, but this may seem to me to be an opportunity, an opportunity for human beings to redeem themselves, to be self-confident and self-reliant......"
After waiting quietly for a while, Leo gave everyone a moment to think before continuing
"The only one who can save mankind is ourselves, and after going through many things, I am convinced of this, and pinning my trust in the mercy and kindness of others is the most stupid and terrible thought, my friends, here I ask and hope that in the future war, we will abandon our prejudices, abandon selfishness and certain ideas that should not appear, and understand that even if it is a so-called game, the loser will never be forgiven and redeemed!"
With the help of this opportunity, Leo weakened the worship and superstition of these medieval nobles to some extent, so that they somewhat understood that human beings, as the spirits of all things, should also have their own dignity and persistence, this is his resistance in the face of previous things, and the cry in the face of being wantonly played, although the voice is still very weak, but he declares his unwillingness and anger in this way, maybe it still seems ridiculous and humble in front of those two higher beings, but human beings! Never a vassal who existed for anything else!
Nodding to everyone, the somewhat tired Leo glanced at several of his subordinates, and took the lead in walking back to the apse, he understood that maybe his actions like a child's temper tantrum would not be punished and valued, but the imminent demon crisis in front of him could really kill him, if it failed, even the system that had been close to him a lot would be ruthlessly wiped out under the control of the program, and a year had passed, and he urgently needed to know what had happened from the mouths of Fain and others......
