Chapter 1433 - The Dogma Is True
When the Inkhorn Snake Man who returned empty-handed exclaimed, "Those humans are too powerful, my spell is completely useless on my body!", the clan witch who was still preparing the sacrificial project could only secretly hate the cruelty of humans, and the old former wizard next to him offered his own advice: "You must have met that combat priest, she should be a combat priest who specializes in the restoration realm or the demon breaking realm, so it is difficult for our poisons, curses, fear charms, etc. to work." It's best to attack directly with the Shaping spell or the 'Critical Damage'. But they're as fast as monkeys, and it's hard to hit. ”
"Be careful next time!" said the witch in annoyance, "I'll get the money and buy people again!We're running out of time!A few damn human rangers and psychic warlocks had infiltrated our border area yesterday morning. Their follow-up team is far from keeping up, and we must give them a taste of arrogance before they arrive!"
At noon on the same day, the Inkthorn Snake people participated in the warm-up activity of the first stage of the sacrifice, put the two heretic snake people from different villages in a huge snake-shaped cage, and completely purified them with curses and flames after screaming desperately and hitting the cage, and then broke off the ash carbon on the charred corpse piece by piece, mashed it and applied it to their foreheads and the cracks of the thorns, so that they could obtain the protection of the ancestral god. Under this protection, he hurriedly got up and went to purchase the last batch of 'goods'.
This time it went very smoothly, but on the way back, there was a little 'little accident' when I was about to arrive at the village. Before entering the village, the Inkthorn Witch claimed to perform a brief ritual to suppress the 'tainted souls' of the heretic snake people, so he asked his entourage to escort a few captives to stay in the bushes on the side, and he found a special tree himself. Let the others bring the captives one by one for a separate suppression ceremony.
While holding the incense herbs during the ceremony of the sixth female snake captive, he whispered earnestly, "You don't run yet, you can't run away when you enter the village." Then your Quetzalcoatl God will not be able to save you. The Witch didn't have much ability, but the staff given to him by the Prophet was a secondary artifact, and it was infused with the Prophet's own magical power. When you go, it's like a bird's egg touching a stone. ”
The other party stared at him for a long time before he hissed, "What are you doing here? The inkthorn snake man said: "It's not easy to beg for meat." Then he asked, "A snake man actually believes in the god Quetzalcoatl, which is simply a vampire as an ambassador of love." What do you agree with Quetzalcoatl? It doesn't do much good. ”
The other party hissed and chuckled: "You agree with the ancestral gods and prophets every day, how much benefit have they given you? It's not that you can't climb out of the mud pile every day?" The inkhorn snake man is still pretending to be normal: "The ancestral god created us and all things, but all things themselves deviate from the teachings and order of the ancestral gods." Let the world come to an end. Now is the process of moving towards the end times. Under these conditions, it is natural for us to face these situations. But the ancestral god will eventually send down a savior, and he will lead the mind to sweep away all things that have been twisted and return the earth and sea to us. Establish a great new world order ruled by the pious snake people!"
The other party hissed and stuck out his forked tongue and laughed: "I heard a similar story from the green elves. The gods of the people will also send down the savior. He will lead the way to sweep away all things that are twisted by a qiē. Give back the earth. Then establish a great new world order ruled by pious green spirits. Others say that the frogman savior will lead them to world domination and establish a great new order. I say, these frivolous legends give you country snakes some ethereal self-confidence and reasons to hold on. What's the use?"
"Of course it works. The Inkhorn Snake replied gently: "Because we have self-confidence and a reason to persevere, we will stick to the dogma of the ancestral god, so we are still us." His expression made the other party stunned slightly: "Then the so-called savior or the new world is just a fictitious expectation for myself." It is just that everyone should continue on the path prescribed by the teachings. Live forever in dogma. ”
"There's nothing wrong with the dogma. The reply of the Inkhorn Serpent was: "The dogma teaches you how to keep the tribe in order, how to keep the tribe thriving, and how to resist bad habits." It's much better than those non-dogmatic Jasilian barbarians. They are promiscuous, homosexual, childless, stingy with wealth, and they divide and decay the community. ”
But the other party responded: "But in addition to your dogma, the other gods also have their own dogma and the order that the dogma encourages, and they are also against promiscuity, same-sex sex, childlessness, and miserliness in the collection of wealth, and everyone is against it, not your family." For example, Quetzalcoatl is against it, and it encourages us to establish good order, and it is better than your rigid dogma, so why should I believe in Quetzalcoatl?"
"But they don't respect our gods, they don't live according to holy dogma, and their dogmas and practices are unholy, just a variant of the Jasilian barbarians." The other party leaned over and asked: "But people live better than you, and their society is more peaceful and harmonious than yours, why are other people's customs and dogmas not holy? You are holy? You kill each other every day, but you are still holy? Everyone has established their own order, each is avoiding the decay of order, and each is creating its own good community, why can it be said that people are Jasilia barbarians?
The Inkhorn Man smiled, "Dogma." ”
This almost rogue answer has made the conversation impossible because you can't talk to a psychopath about real social issues. Of course, the other party didn't seem to admit defeat, and suddenly came up with an unexpected sentence: "I heard that in the Southern Continent, there are snake people who are proclaiming themselves as saviors, and the snake people who believe in him will ascend to the heavenly kingdom of the ancestral gods at the end of the world~~~~"
"Fart!!" The Inkhorn Serpent man spat out directly: "The savior is to lead us to rule the world! It is for us to rule all things in this world, because we are a race chosen by God and are destined to rule the world! What soul enters the kingdom of God." It's a complete doctrinal falsification, outright falsification. This is an apostasy!undoubtedly a false prophet!!" He was even really annoyed: "I have also heard of this fallacy and heresy. But this is a compromise with the Mahapas Empire! Hmph, I think this kind of doctrine is copying the teachings of the gods of the Mahapas Empire! What kind of soul ascends to heaven after death and lives a good life in their kingdom of gods. What kind of heaven and hell, believers go to heaven and don't believe in hell, I bah! This is all copying the system of the god Mahapas! This is a complete method of fooling the people, specifically deceiving those ignorant aliens, so that they can be obedient people with peace of mind! This is the most complete betrayal of the prophets and ancestors of all generations, and they should be crucified alive! The dogma has long been clearly written. The ancestral gods and saviors definitely don't want us to go to heaven and hell. Not to give us the kingdom of heaven, but to be rulers of the earth and the sea!!"
Looking at him who was angry, the other party became happy: "But many snake people in the Southern Continent believe in him." And all of them are extremely firm in their beliefs, and they are willing to sacrifice their lives to feed lions. The Inkhorn Snake Man finally accidentally said the truth: "Huh! What do you believe? Believe in their ethereal gods? Sneer! Believe in the doctrines and dogmas they have made up! Whether it is a god, heaven or hell, most of them are false. It's just a good goal. It's just a matter of inducing people to desperately stick to certain behaviors. These behaviors are the behaviors prescribed by their dogma, and those dogmas are true! Let us always stick to the dogma to be true!"
The other party smiled and stared back at him very seriously: "Yes." Myths are false, dogmas are true. Aren't you like that?"
The inkthorn snake man glanced at her, and wanted to say it, but suddenly he didn't bother to say it, but hurriedly changed the subject: "You really don't want to run? The other party calmly asked, "Will you denounce me?"
"I didn't tell you anything, I don't know anything. The Inkthorn Snake Man replied and made the other party nod: "Then you don't have to worry about it, and continue your work." This made the Inkhorn Snake man a little incredulous: "Aren't you afraid that I will betray you by telling lies?" and the other party replied: "You are not your average snake people, they only imagine their own single dogma as the only viable order, and then say that everyone else is Jasilia's brute." And you're not. ”
Just when the inkhorn snake man showed a slightly knowing smile, the other party said coldly: "If you betray me, then before I die, I will also sell you." ”
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
When the goods were gathered in the prison of the pit, the clan witch could not wait to decorate the altar, arrange the manpower, and was anxious to move the sacrifice tomorrow afternoon: "The prophet is already annoyed by this procrastination, wash these guys, wash the dirt in the stomach, and sacrifice the best things to the ancestral god!" However, the Inkthorn Snake man said that he was tired for several days and was a little unwell, so he applied for a rest, and after obtaining the consent of the clan witch, he went down and stopped taking care of things.
The serpents of the village were in high spirits, chanting the holy names of the ancestral gods and prophets, and pulling the poor heretics of the different villages to special shelves with the cheers of 'Faith is great', and forcibly washing them with force, and forcibly pouring the potion of intestinal washing, and the heretics who were poured with them struggled and rolled their eyes, and cried and chanted the holy names of the ancestral gods and prophets, cursing these crazy heretics.
Only the female snake man was very calm, and she looked coldly at the people around her who were holding torches and screaming in their mouths, like mad jumping demons, coldly endured the cold water they poured mercilessly and the filthy potions that viciously poured in, and coldly watched them rejoice at the pain and begs for mercy of heresy.
There may be pity in those cold eyes, or there may not be even pity.
