The small ripples caused by the orc refugees were quickly calmed down. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

A consul in charge of civil affairs in the Northwest Republic came forward to say that the Republic respects the faith of everyone, but only if it does not infringe on the faith of others. If the refugees wanted to build an altar, they had to consult with the local church and get permission.

Of course, this is absolutely impossible, unless there are hardcore allies like Sui Xiong and the God of Justice, even if it is a god with a relatively good relationship, it is impossible for his clergy to allow other altars to appear in their own sphere of influence.

It's not okay if the relationship is good! This is a matter of principle!

What's more, Sui Xiong and the orc gods are acquaintances at best, and they can't even be called friends, and their relationship is very average.

In fact, the key reason why the various faiths in the Northwest Republic can coexist peacefully, the altars and shrines of various gods can not interfere with each other, and the clergy of all factions can be safe and sound is because of the official coordination of the Republic and the helm of the alliance leader of the Void Mask Church. This time, the official officials of the Republic refused to help coordinate, and the Church of the Void Mask also refused to intervene to mediate, how could the various churches tolerate the orc gods reaching out?

In this way, the matter of the orc refugees wanting to build an altar was naturally in vain.

Strictly speaking, it's not that they can't build altars for the orc gods, as long as they go to build a pioneer village themselves, it won't be a problem to build any altar they want.

But...... I don't know why, those guys who shouted loudly before, once they mentioned the matter of "going out to build their own pioneer village", they immediately pretended to be dumb, or talked about him left and right, in short, they refused to agree.

Sui Xiong watched all this incognito in the sky, amused, but also secretly vigilant.

Those who instigated the establishment of the Orc Gods Altar had a strong light of faith on their bodies, and it was definitely not the kind that had lost the response of the Orc Gods. They came to the Northwest Republic to encourage the half-orc refugees who were excluded and discriminated against in the Orc Empire to build an altar, under the banner of "this will definitely please the gods and make the gods pay attention to us again", but what they are thinking in their bones, I don't know!

"I really didn't expect that the first to make a move was the Orc Empire. When talking to East about this matter privately, Sui Xiong said with a calm face, "I originally thought that we had a good relationship, but it seems that I thought things too well!"

"No, Your Majesty, you're too worried. "Most of the gods in the world don't care about anything like you, and certainly the orc gods do." This move of the Orc Empire, I think it should be some high-level behavior, it is the plan of the Orc Emperor, not the instructions of the Orc Gods. ”

"Huh, why are you so sure?" asked Sui Xiong curiously.

"Because once the gods do it, they will definitely not be so gentle, so easy. You don't know the temper of the orc gods, they might design a plan like this, but it's their style to abandon it when the plan is frustrated?"

Sui Xiong thought about it, and it was true.

If there really were orc gods behind this operation, how could it be so easy to be thwarted? With the style of the orc gods, even if you can't kill the enemy, you must at least make a big news.

Let's say a group of people summon demons in the Northwest Republic or something...... The gods of the evil camp are very proficient in this job.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly strengthened the monitoring of those orc refugees.

In this way, he saw a good show again.

It was an early evening, and one of the "orc refugees" who had been encouraging the refugees to make trouble had once again come to the refugee quarters and persuaded them to try to build an altar to the orc gods.

But this time, he hit a nail.

An older half-orc refugee says they don't plan to believe in orc gods anymore.

"What?!" the bearded pigman could barely believe his ears, "what are you talking about?!Do you want to turn your back on the Great Majesty!"

"Faith is two-fold, and since He doesn't want us anymore, then why should we hang ourselves from a tree?" the old but still powerful elephant man touched his broken left ivory, "I fought twice for Your Majesty, and this half of the tooth was lost on the battlefield on the day the sun went out, and I lost it there together, along with my two brothers, a son, three nephews, and the eyes of my other son. ”

A sad look appeared on his face: "But, Your Majesty doesn't want me anymore." ”

"We are creatures, how can a creator negotiate terms with the creator!" said the pig man angrily.

"Why can't you?" asked the old elephant man lightly, "these days, people from the Religious Affairs Bureau of the Republic often come here to give us lectures on religious knowledge, the difference between man and God, and the difference between piety, fanaticism and orthodoxy...... We were deeply moved. All of us have been abandoned by Your Majesty, and all the efforts of the past, and many years of devout faith, have been mercilessly discarded. I beg your pardon for not being able to hold on to our faith in such a situation, and we can't continue to believe in silence in such a situation where there is no hope in sight. ”

He sighed deeply: "I'm old, and I'm not far from death." I've done a lot of bad things over the years, invaded, killed...... At the beginning, I didn't care about anything with the idea of 'everything for Your Majesty', but now I care, I don't want to go to hell, I'm afraid, I'm scared!"

"So you betrayed Your Majesty?" the pigman's eyes became gloomy, "and so did the others?"

"Pretty much, everyone has their own reasons, but in the end, it's the long history of faith that has not been answered, and we are discouraged. ”

The pigman didn't say anything more, and turned away.

Unlike before, this time he walked very fast and disappeared after a while.

When he was far away, the old elephant sighed and returned to his dwelling, a somewhat rudimentary, but sturdy and warm wooden hut.

Inside the room, a blind middle-aged elephant man sat at a desk, fumbling for a woodcut book, trying to read.

"Daddy, have you driven the messenger away?" he asked.

"Yes. The old elephant man sat directly on the floor and whispered, "I thought I would be scared, but when I really made up my mind, I realized that it was nothing." ”

"It's nothing. His blind son sighed, "We are nothing to Your Majesty, and our faith is actually nothing, but in the past, we took it too seriously!"

"Over the years, we orcs have literally lived for the faith, and in retrospect, it's a sad joke. ”

The tone of the father and son was very light and calm, but it revealed a sadness that made people want to cry.

Having lost their status and honor, their hometown, and their faith, now they really have nothing.

After a while, the old elephant man stood up and said, "When it's almost time to send supper, I'll go and get you a portion." We can't mess around like this anymore, I'm going to find a job tomorrow and something. I'm old, but I still have the strength!"

"I'm sorry, I'm the one who dragged you down!"

"Don't say that! I've inquired about it these days, it's still quite easy to make money here, and I should be able to earn enough money to treat your eyes. When you cure your eyes, find a daughter-in-law, and then you will have a family again. ”

As he spoke, the old elephant man pushed open the door and walked out without looking back.

A similar situation has played out in more than one place among this group of orc refugees. Having finally decided to abandon their belief in the orc gods, they took the first step into a new life with difficulty.

Sui Xiong was hidden in the air, watching this scene, and couldn't help but laugh. (To be continued.) )
