What's going on in the water?

Leon didn't know.

His perception could not reach the bottom of the lake, which was hundreds of meters deep.

Can Kavala and Malbert deal with that griffon?

It stands to reason that Kavala had successfully sealed the griffon, and if he could seal it once, he could seal it a second time...... And this time he has Malbert's help, he should be able to deal with it.

According to the plan he had discussed with Kavala, Kavala had to destroy the ring, seal the griffon, and then break the soul contract with Malbert and take Malbert back to the temple of the creator god, never to return to the continent of Pander again.

This plan is also a soul contract, and the soul contract cannot be broken, and Kavala cannot leave the statue without solving the griffon.

In other words, if Kavala failed to kill the griffin, then he and Malbert would still be in the statue at the bottom of the lake.

If he had fulfilled the contract, he would have returned to the temple with Malbert by now.

Leon is still a little worried now.

It wasn't that he was worried about Kavala and Malbert - they were dead or alive and Leon didn't care at all, he was worried about the griffin.

But judging by the calm and calm of Lake Ellaclair, the griffon should not have escaped.

After all, it was just an abyssal demon, a spirit, and a spirit alone could only attack Kavala and Malbert, who were also spirits, and if it wanted to get out of the bottom of the lake, it would at least have to find a carrier.

Even Kavala had to be attached to a carrier like a statue, and no matter how strong a griffin was, it was impossible for a griffin to leave the bottom of the lake with a single spirit.

Therefore, Leon asked Risardiran to closely observe the movement of the lake, and returned to the city of Ayrclay to determine the outcome of the operation.

To determine the outcome, you have to contact Kavala.

But how do you get in touch?

Others must have no choice, but Wendy has a way - while Leon is still in the temple, Wendy does everything she can to find Leon, and eventually uses the dragon's tears to contact Althea.

Yes, it would be fine to ask Althia to confirm that Kavala had returned to the temple.

If Kavala can speak in the temple, it means that the griffin has been sealed by him; If Kavala's consciousness is not in the temple, then he and the griffin are still at the bottom of the lake.

This time, it was Leon who contacted Alcia, and the results were quite surprising.

The cost of the 'video call' with Alcia is quite high, and just ten minutes of contact consumes a dragon's tear.

And the 'video call' doesn't allow anyone else to participate - the communication feels like Leon and Alcia talking 'in the same dream', a real daydream, but certain that it's real.

This is what Althia calls the true application of dragon tears.

Althia was sure that Kavala had returned to the temple, and that there were two more souls in the temple, one was Malbert and the other was Griffins the griffon.

Yes, the griffin has a name, and it is said that it was taken when the goddess of justice, Astarya, rescued it.

However, the name was a bit sloppy, and Leon estimated that its original nickname might have been 'Hiss' or something......

At the moment, Kavala's condition is not very good - his soul has been badly damaged, and it can even be said that he is crippled.

On the contrary, Malbert was unharmed, and it was he who told Alcia about the whole story.

At first, Kavala did manage to destroy the ring, and the griffin was released, and immediately pounced on Kavala's soul.

Malbert used a soul spell to imprison the griffin for a short time, and then Kavala did manage to trap the griffin in the soul space.

The first half of the race went well.

But what he didn't expect was that at the moment when Kavala returned to the temple from the statue, his soul space was actually broken through by this powerful griffin......

Griffins is also capable of soul spells, and is much stronger than Malbert, plus it is a griffin - although it has the same intelligence as a human, its worldly desires are not strong, so it has not been imprisoned by Malbert for long.

Animals are indeed relatively simple, like the little dragon Kualis, far more simple than humans.

This is also the main reason why it is able to become the most powerful abyssal demon - the soul is purer, and spells cannot affect it too much, after all, animals act according to instinct most of the time.

But the main reason why Griffins was able to break through Kavala's soul space was not this.

The main reason is that Kavala's soul space is full of loopholes......

Yes, Kavala's soul space, the protection ability is much weaker than Leon's.

If Leon's soul space is seen as a seamless fortress made of steel, Kavala's is at best a broken stable made of wood that leaks everywhere.

Probably because Kavala desires more.

As a result, Griffins the griffon forcibly broke through Kavala's soul space, but fortunately, Kavala's soul body had returned to the temple by this time.

In front of Kualis, no matter how powerful the evil spirit is, it can only be turned into a torch on the temple wall.

Kualis was quite happy - there were a few more talking souls in the temple, whether they were good or evil, at least they could talk to each other and relieve it of Althea's loneliness.

One more griffin is one more pet for Kualis......

Unlike that Ulrique, who knows that he is in love with Anna all day long, and he is very tired.

Malbert was also optimistic, Anna and Ulrique were both in the temple, and they were accompanied by acquaintances. And he knew that it might be the best place for him to live.

Griffins the griffin didn't make any more trouble, and the temple was much better than the ring, at least not for hundreds of years.

The only thing that was not happy was the Kavala...... His soul space was shattered, and he became a remnant like Agraem - it is estimated that he will not be able to carry the power of faith for many, many years!

This means that Kavala will not be able to make any more moths in the short term.

Knowing this, Leonar was very happy......

He knew it might be good news, but he didn't expect it to be so good!

"Wendy, the Pander Continent will now enter a new era! The age of gods and demons is over, and from now on we will welcome a new world—I intend to make this day a festival......"

Li Ang said to Wendy with a smile.

"This really should be commemorated...... But what holiday to designate? It's hard to say......"

Wendy agrees, but she doesn't know what to do, so she can't call it 'Kavala Leaves the Continent Day' or 'Code of Order Shattering Day'......

"Well, Eleclay's circle isn't working right now, anyway...... Since the era of gods and demons ended in Lake Aylaclay, of course people should be commemorated at Lake Aeracle. ”

Li Ang rolled his eyes and made a decision: "Today is April 1st, let's call it 'Fishman Festival', let people come to Airakle Lake to catch fish, and by the way, pull the consumption ......"

Later, Leon instructed Risadilan to put a fish in the lake that had swallowed the king's coin on this day of the year, and began to build a villa on the lakeside.

Why create such a festival for people to come and catch fish in Lake Aylaclay?

Of course, it is to get more people to pay attention to Lake Ellaclay.

This is actually to spy on Kavala.

Kavala's soul was injured and Li Ang didn't know how much, maybe there would be no more movement for dozens or hundreds of years, maybe it would recover in a few years, no one could say.

Leon will tear down all the Kavala statues in the Pander Continent, and support the Ash Descendants of the Amara Continent to counterattack the Serpent Cult, and try to cut off the channels for people to provide Kavala with faith.

But no matter what else you do, this statue in the lake can't be handled.

If nothing else, in the near future, the statue at the bottom of the lake will be the only statue in Kavala that can project divine consciousness - the statue in Long River City is different, that statue is the young 'King of Pandesian' Kavala, not the old 'God of Knights'.

Therefore, Leon wants to create a festival and use competitions and rewards to encourage people to come here, on the one hand, to stimulate the economy and promote consumption, and on the other hand, to make people pay attention to and stare at the bottom of the lake.

At the same time, in order to weaken the influence of those false gods, especially to weaken the influence of evil gods such as the Snake Worship Cult, Li Ang also intends to add a standard to this ignorant world.

Don't get me wrong, this is not a 'god-destroying campaign' or the promotion of atheism.

It's about redefining 'God'.

Is God useful?

Actually, it's useful.

The teachings of many of the gods are good.

The goddess of justice leads people to goodness and preaches fairness and integrity;

The Goddess of Darkness wants people not to forget the light, even in harsh circumstances;

The goddess of order wants everyone to do their part for stability and order, and encourages people to find the pattern of things;

The goddess of harvest encourages farming and water conservancy; And the goddess of prosperity encourages people to engage in commercial exchanges and material mobility......

These former presiding gods were at least doctrinally beneficial to the development of a nation or society.

So they were able to gain the favor of the ruling class and spread vigorously, thus gaining widespread belief among the people.

Yes, these teachings are used to cater to the rulers.

Every god is an opportunist, and they make these teachings to get the rulers to buy them in, so that the rulers can help them gain more faith, not to actually lead people to do so......

Rulers do need God, especially those of this age.

For the sake of domestic stability and to make it easier to rule, it is necessary for people to have a faith that suits their national conditions.

In this era, it is difficult to popularize higher education, and it is unrealistic to use science to eliminate superstition.

Moreover, science may not be able to eliminate superstition......

Many people may think that if more people understand scientific principles, the influence of gods and demons will be weakened - because most people think that it is the level of cognition that determines the degree of superstition of people.

But in reality, this is not the case.

Many people who have seen the world and are highly educated are still superstitious, and even most of the top scientists eventually believe in God - the end of science is theology, which is not a joke, but a helpless self-deprecation.

There is a limit to human cognition, but everyone's limit is different, and when it comes to the limit, it has to turn to the gods......

Moreover, in a world where there are indeed gods, it is self-defeating to want to promote materialist atheism......

Therefore, Leon does not deny the existence of God.

The sculptures in the city are also a way for Leon to remind people.

This is also the inspiration that Leon received from Emperor Marius - to replace faith with faith.

In other words, worship and remembrance replace belief in God.

It is best to convert people's beliefs as much as possible into the memory of their ancestors and the praise of their achievements.

Gods gain divine power because of faith, and if this simple belief becomes less and less, those false gods will become weaker and weaker, and will never be able to appear in any way again.

Whether it was Yunomia or Kavala, or any other god, Leon wanted them to never appear again.

So, Leon wants to put a standard on the matter of 'faith' - why? Why?

Why Believe? Why worship?

What has this god or this man done for people?

Is he or she greater than the heroes who really existed in history? Have they helped more people?

If there is, please worship, for it is worth worshipping.

If not......

Then why worship them?

Is it just because of the slogans they shout and the vague promises?

Leon is ready to spread this 'why' to the entire Lion Realm, and even the entire continent.

On this basis, most of the 'gods' will be embarrassed - especially when compared to the deeds of many heroes and heroes, people will find that the vast majority of gods seem to have never done anything.

In fact, Yunomia did make a great contribution, and everything Kavala did back then was equivalent to what she did.

But the problem is that she is in control of Kavala's ...... Most people don't know that Kavala was behind her back then.

Of course, this concept has to have an impact slowly, and it can't be achieved overnight, and the sculpture group in Long River City is just the beginning.

Even if the effect is slow, at least it can spread the faith to many deceased heroes, and as long as the faith is scattered, those gods will naturally not be a cause for concern - Amy and Wendy are gradually becoming gods with practical actions.

At the beginning of May 359 in the year of Pan Deli, not far from the sculpture group of Changhe City, that is, the gate of the inner fort of the former Changhe Town, a huge plaque was hung.

It says 'Pander College'.

The people who are hanging the plaque are a group of Noldor elves.

Or rather, some disabled Noldor elf.

At least half of the Noldor Elves currently work in Leon's industry, and most of the others have their own things to do - compared to humans, most of the Noldor Elves are both civil and military, and can basically support themselves.

But there are also poor people among the Noldor elves, most of them because of disabilities.

In those days, the disabled and widows were mostly due to the war, and the Noldor tribes usually provided some support to these people, that is, some food.

But most of the Noldor warriors are arrogant - even if they lose their ability to survive, they will still refuse this kind of charity.

The arrogance of the elves is in their bones, and when Risadiran was exiled, he would rather go hungry than steal and rob, until he saw the bounty contract in Zingal and became an assassin - otherwise, with his skills, if he really had no bottom line, it would be impossible to starve and freeze.

Leon wants to solve the problem of poverty in the country, so he asks Wendy to organize these elves to go to human society to carry out literacy campaigns - this is also a matter of bringing wealth to people, so Wendy is asked to do it. Leon only cares about things that offend people, such as getting people who don't obey in class to sweep the streets.

Most of the Noldor elves are hundreds of years old, all of them can read and write, and although they have physical disabilities, they have no problem being teachers of basic culture classes.

Most human beings still have a lot of respect for intellectuals, in fact, no one wants to be illiterate, but the vast majority of people do not have the opportunity to be educated.

It is not cost-effective to always engage in literacy campaigns, so Li Ang built a school in the inner fort of Changhe City, which is also the only place in the entire Changhe City that has not been demolished and rebuilt, and can be used directly.

But at present, Li Ang is not able to popularize compulsory education, and he only plans to let the real 'own people' learn more culture.

What is one's own person?

Amy and Wendy's 'believers' are their own people......

Oh, and Alina and Alice's 'believers' count as well.

After all, Alina and Leon are about to get married.

The wedding will take place on May 10, when the official start of enrollment at Pander College.
