Chapter 533: A Straightforward Answer

Offending a god is a worse thing than offending a king

On the contrary, it is more honorable to get the intimacy of a god than to get the favor of a king, you must know that the bottle of resurrection potion that Alisa drank alone can be regarded as a priceless thing on the continent, and there are countless high-ranking people on the continent who do not want to get a bottle of this kind of treasure that can save their lives at a critical moment. Not to mention those dragons who were sent by the ancient gods as servants, you must know that no matter which country it is placed in, it can be called the storage of strategic-level weapons, although the dragon has disappeared on the road for a long time, but some ancient documents record that the power of the dragon can usually sweep the army of tens of thousands of people directly with a dragon, and there are even records of some small countries being destroyed by a dragon!

The gods are great! and omnipotent!

Every myth and poem describes the gods, who can empower the poor, make the poor rich, the weak into invincible and strong, and the foolish into the world's wise!

"Your Excellency Lelouch, I beg your pardon for daring me to ask. Lady Angelina's tone became cautious, lest she anger Lelouche: "Is there any connection between the gods worshipped by the Holy See and the Holy Capital to the supreme being behind you?"

Alyssa's heart couldn't help but speed up for her mother's words, even in secular countries, the topic of royal relationships and identities is generally taboo, even nobles only dare to discuss these issues in private, and no one dares to ask these private questions. Mortals are like this, not to mention gods at all, every god is hidden in the fog to bring believers an unknown sense of mystery and majesty, it is really because of this mystery and fear of the unknown that believers will become more and more pious and their own gods. It's a great offense for my mother to ask about the relationship between gods and goddesses so suddenly!!

Swallowing her saliva, Alisa hurriedly gave her mother a non-stop look, prompting her mother to quickly retract the sentence.

Madame Angelina ignored the gaze from her daughter, who was the head of the House of Westphalia and a former princess of the royal family. Mrs. Angelina naturally understood the purpose of her daughter's gaze. It's just that the current situation makes Mrs. Angelina can't care so much, and she is involved in this unimaginable game between gods and demons, whether it is for her daughter or her family, or even the entire Bellama Kingdom, she must be cautious in this game, not to mention the Westphalia family, but the entire Bellamar Kingdom will be crushed by these huge forces from outside the world.

So there are some things that Lady Angelina has to figure out!

"If you want to say it, it's probably a competitorโ”‰โ”‰" Lelouch didn't feel any displeasure because he set up a problem. It's just that Lelouch's answer is also ambiguous and uncertain.

This answer made Mrs. Angelina slightly stunned.

"The gods are sometimes annoying and have different interests with each other, and different races and regions worship their own gods, so the gods and spirits are also very fierce in the competition for their beliefs. โ€

"Aren't the gods omnipotent?"

That is a view imposed by mortals themselves, and at the same time a lie concocted by some weak gods in order to gain more faith, and of course the gods are extremely powerful, but no god can reach the level of omnipotence. Like the former god of war Mars, he may be omnipotent in war, but he is powerless in making money. โ€

Lelouch unreservedly revealed a lot of privacy, which made Lady Angelina think deeply.

In Lady Angelina's opinion, gods are not as easy to talk as mortals, and the teachings of the Holy See in the eastern part of the continent only worship the goddess Ishtar as the only true body in the world. The rest of the gods are classified as evil gods and demons that deceive the world. The Holy Capital may be a little better, at least not so radical, only recognizing the existence of one deity, the different races living in the western part of the continent have their own supreme gods, but except for the five supreme gods, the holy capital does not recognize other gods very much.

It's better to say that it's not so much a competitor than an enemy!" Lady Angelina said to herself.

"Your Excellency Lu Luxiu, you have directly told me so many secret secrets about the gods, are you not afraid of angering the great being behind you?"

In fact, Lady Angelina was still a little uncomfortable with Lelouch talking about gods and spirits so much, and even having a somewhat disrespectful tone in his words.

On the contrary, Lelouch replied indifferently, "Because you are a wise lady." Not the ignorant village woman, I don't think you'll believe in the rhetorical flattery of the power of the gods. And the rhetorical miracles. On the contrary, our lord is also a very realistic deity, and does not like to ask believers to do meaningless performances and propaganda that are just to show their strength and merits. โ€

"This is really a surprising deity. A subtle look flashed in Lady Angelina's gaze.

"In contrast, our lord likes to exchange for equal value, and how much benefit the believer can bring to my lord, how much power my lord will repay him. โ€

"Isn't that an exchange to a merchant?"

Lady Angelina was a little puzzled as to how such a god could gather his followers.

"Lady Angelina, what kind of gods should you look like?"

Lelouch smiled meaningfully at this moment: "In your eyes, shouldn't the gods endlessly fulfill the demands of believers, like a generous philanthropist, constantly giving believers more strength without expecting anything in return?"

"I think that's probably what most religious people think about the gods. โ€

"But in fact. It is impossible for the gods to give power to every believer, even the Holy See goddess Ishtar only gives enough power to the pope and the bishop on the Holy See's holy hill as her spokesman, and the rest are servants who should obey her spokesperson in her eyes, even if these believers are equally religious and will also donate money to the Holy See. But what these believers get is only spiritual and spiritual satisfaction, and it is a completely unequal reward. โ€

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Angelina was also speechless, indeed, the gods cannot take care of every believer, and the divine grace received by a pope is always a world of difference from ordinary believers.

"To put it simply, our lord hates those who only know how to fold their hands and pray that the gods can give him a qiฤ“ out of thin air, and our lord prefers to help those who deserve help, those who are willing to gamble their lives and sacrifice their lives for the sake of success!

"As far as my personal opinion is concerned, I agree with the point of view of this equivalent exchange. โ€

The gods who help the strong but not the weak, maybe spreading this really makes the world feel that they have subverted their understanding of the gods, but as the wife of the head of a merchant family, Mrs. Angelina has no position to accuse the other party, after all, in the shopping mall, this is something that every businessman who pursues profits will dare to, and no one will be willing to pay even 1 rien to invest in the mud that can't support the wall.

But Mrs. Angelina also has her own demands, now that the Westphalian family has been involved in this game and cannot choose to quit, then they can only participate in it, of course, as a secular force, the Westphalian family cannot fight against the demons and needs strong foreign aid, but as the saying goes, even if you want to hug your thighs, you have to choose the thickest one to hug.

It's just that I don't know which goddess of the Holy See is stronger and weaker than this unknown ancient god, or there is no need to judge this question at all, after all, neither side is a existence that the Westphalian family can fight against. However, although the House of Westphalia is not a devout believer, after all, the Holy See has deep roots in the eastern part of the entire continent, and its influence cannot make Lady Angelina make a rash decision.

"Can you give me a moment?"

"Of course!"

Lelouch made a gesture of please very casually, and Mrs. Angelina fell into a long deep thought for a while, and the air in the VIP room suddenly fell into a depressing atmosphere.

It stands to reason that this kind of demonic invasion should allow the Holy See to intervene to eradicate the demons entrenched in the Golden Spike territory, but that would obviously further enhance the Holy See's voice in the Kingdom of Bellama and even the entire Eastern Continent. As the head of the Westphalian family and a member of the royal family of Bellama, Lady Angelina must consider both aspects, but at the same time, the demons in the Golden Spike Territory must also be eliminated, otherwise the demons will spread like a plague to every corner of the country.

And Alisa's situation is very special, obviously from the previous conversation, Mrs. Angelina thinks that the boy named Lelouch and the gods behind it seem to want to use Elisa's talents, but in order to protect her daughter, in some way, Mrs. Angelina feels that her daughter may be safer under the protection of the divine messenger.

"Then Lord Lelouch, can the old god behind you help the Kingdom of Bellama destroy the demons in the Golden Spike Territory?" asked Lady Angelina, plucking up her courage.

However, Lelouch's answer to Lady Angelina was unexpected. (To be continued......)
