"I wonder why the Shadow Clan would have imagined this religion out of thin air, and now it seems that this religion was not created by them, but is foreign!", Al followed the words of pandan grass and proposed a new idea.

The Dark Elves in the cave all looked surprised, including the matriarch, who preconceived the belief that the Dark Lord was a religion founded by the Shadow Clan themselves, without considering the possibility of an outsider.

"You mean that this religion was introduced to the Shadow Clan from the outside, and who introduced it?", asked the matriarch.

"Hmm. Al nodded, "I can't guess who the hell is with too little information right now." But my guess is that the one who has been supplying the Shadow Clan with wheat is the one responsible for creating the religion of the Lord of Darkness. ”

"If it is possible, this power should be some great power of our human race, because only the great power of mankind can provide a tribe with a large amount of food without interruption, and can also create a whole new religion. ”

"You must know that religion is not so easy to create, and in order to stand up to scrutiny, at least it must have a complete doctrine. In order to facilitate dissemination, it is necessary to have a catchy and doctrinal propaganda slogan. In order to further deepen the reverence of believers, there must also be a complete set of worship processes. ”

Only when these elements are in place can it be considered a true religion that can attract believers. ”

"And among the known races, I'm afraid only humans are good at this. ”

"Are you saying that the Shadow Clan has colluded with humans?", one of the elders shouted in shock, and the other elders also had dumbfounded expressions.

However, the nightingale, pandan grass, and the matriarch had a calm face, they had long heard El say that there might be traitors within the dark elves, and they had already thrown themselves into the human race, and now all kinds of evidence showed that the most likely thing was this shadow clan.

"Of course, it is also possible that such a religious deception is too strong, and the clansmen of the Shadow Clan did not resist it, and they all fell into it. ”

"But how could the Shadow Clan patriarchs and elders agree to the spread of this religion? Another elder questioned aloud.

Several other elders also thought that it would be okay if ordinary clansmen fell into religion and couldn't extricate themselves, but the patriarch and elders were all wise men in the clan, didn't they see the harm?

Al pondered for a moment before speaking, "There are two explanations I can think of for this, the first is that the elders of the Shadow Clan also believe in the Lord of Darkness, and as believers, it is naturally impossible for them to stop the spread of this religion. ”

"Another explanation......", he looked up, and glanced at the matriarch intentionally or unintentionally, "The vast majority of religions in this world have the effect of converting to the hearts of the people and strengthening the rule of the rulers, and this religion is probably the same." ”

When Al said this, not only the two little girls Nightingale and Pandan Grass didn't understand, but even the elders didn't understand why.

As dark elves, how can they understand these twists and turns.

"Hey, what does it mean to strengthen the rulers? Pandan asked with a confused expression, encouraged by her mother, she is now speaking more boldly.

"Well...... It's too complicated to say, and the analogy is to make everyone listen to the patriarch more. Al exemplified.

"Hey, will believing in that god have this effect?", Pandan said in surprise, she didn't understand even more, "but everyone listens to Mother, everyone says that Mother is the wisest patriarch who has led our clan through many difficulties. ”

"Ahem, pandan, don't say that in front of Mr. Al. The matriarch hurriedly interrupted the pandan grass and glanced at Al embarrassedly.

"It's not the kind of convincing you say, but no matter what the patriarch says, everyone will listen to her, even if the patriarch's order is unreasonable, or it infringes on the interests of others, everyone will still listen to and do it. Al explained.

"It's impossible, aren't you all stupid? We dark elves aren't you humans. Nightingale immediately retorted, unlike other dark elves, who had lived in human society for a while, and she immediately realized what El meant.

According to Al, isn't that patriarch equivalent to a lord or a king among the human race?

"Unless we dark elves are as insensitive as you humans, we will go along with it, it's impossible. Nightingale said with pride.

Although she admires and appreciates Al, her attitude towards humans has changed during this time. But she still clings to the pride of elves and her contempt for humans in her bones.

"Numbness, you're right, numbness!", Al responded.

"If it weren't for the numbness of the mind, how could the dark elves of the Shadow Clan believe in religion?"

"Nightingale, have you heard of any dark elves who believe in religion?", Al asked rhetorically, "The so-called religion is inherently set by the psychology of the believer as a hierarchy of superiors and subordinates. ”

"When they prostrate themselves and prostrate themselves in worship, whether the flesh is upright or not, they cannot stand up in their hearts. ”

"Now that you have believed in the ethereal gods, it is not impossible to obey the strong. ”

"Hmph, don't put your human experience on our Dark Elves! ", Nightingale retorted in a somewhat fierce tone.

She couldn't agree with Al's idea that the Dark Elves were always in bad terms, and she felt that although Al lived in the sun, the world was darker than they were in the dark.

There seemed to be no light in those black eyes.

Al opened his mouth to retort. "It's not just mental numbness, it's even distortion that is possible, haven't you seen the warriors of the Shadow Clan torture and kill captives before?"

But when these words came to his lips, he looked at the nightingale's pale green eyes that shone slightly in the faint light of fireflies, like jewels, but he could no longer say these words.

Al still remembers the horror and disbelief on Nightingale's face as she recounted the incident. Presumably, this incident brought an indelible wound to the nightingale's heart, so the little girl subconsciously forgot about it and did not want to remember it.

"Some memories can only go in two places, the bottom of the heart and the grave. ”

"Let her seal this memory in the deepest part of her heart and forget it slowly. Al thought silently.

"As a nobleman, you must not let a girl cry sadly. ”
