It was only after dawn that the Magic Hand arrived. They looked like they had just arrived from another battlefield, and they were a little embarrassed.

The Staff of Light thought they were trying to rob the prisoners, but the Staff of Light was attacked after the battle was concentrated in the prison. This time, the alliance of evil mages is unprecedentedly large, and many of the staff of light have never thought that they will even cooperate in the attack, and it is suspected that there are powerful mages who are not on the list of evil mages participating in the battle.

The battle of the powerful spell against the bombard was so fierce that the police couldn't get close at all. Thankfully, the Staff of Light was prepared. With the support of the military, the Holy Shield was able to break through the fire with the help of large war weapons. Eventually, the Staff of Light managed to block the attack, but the defensive spell at the Staff of Light headquarters was nearly broken, and the building itself was in tatters, and it took months to get it back up. This is the first time this has happened since the establishment of this headquarters.

After tidying up the graveyard, Rick took out the letter he had written that night and looked at it, which didn't look like a love letter. He wrote another: "I don't have the 'dream' thing that those who are under the spotlight call it. Every step in my life is a step forward from where I am. If dreams have to involve a leap of imagination about the future, then I never imagined that I would have a bright future that does not border on the present.

"If 'dreams' have to fit other people's definition of dreams, then I don't have dreams.

"If dreams refer to the life they want to live, then I want to live a peaceful life with food and clothing, which is certainly not a dream in their eyes. When I say this dream, I will be laughed at by those people, not because it is difficult, but because it is considered too easy.

"They don't understand how difficult it is to live peacefully.

"If you don't pay attention to the law, it's likely that a business that has been done for decades under an order will suddenly become illegal. If you don't pay attention to security, you are likely to be killed while sitting in your house. If you don't pay attention to the atmosphere, you are likely to be humiliated by not wearing enough. If you don't pay attention to food safety, you are likely to be poisoned after a lifetime of fitness. If we don't pay attention to pollution, if we don't pay attention to the international situation, if we don't pay attention to the structure of the economy, if we don't pay attention to the state of land use, if we don't pay attention to young people who are out of the way, if we don't pay attention to the abolition movement that directs the local branches from the other side of the world, if we don't pay attention to the gender and ethnic chauvinists, if we don't pay attention to the money behind the parliamentarians......

"If you don't pay attention to politics, if you don't pay attention to national defense, if you don't pay attention to the aggression that religion carries out in the name of freedom.

"Those people will not understand that in order to live in peace, it is necessary to see the calamity before it is too late and stop it.

"And it's very, very hard.

"It may be my dream to never miss this for the rest of my life.

"But I don't believe that anyone can do it, so if you have to believe that you can do it, then I don't have a dream. I'm just trying to live and try to do it.

"I don't have dreams, and I don't go to find one to deceive myself.

"I knew what I wanted and what I had to do.

"I have goals, I don't need to dream. 」

Nick thought for a moment, then took another piece of letterhead, which read, "To Shuilonu: I miss you. You are my unique path to happiness on earth. Then take a small paper bag and stuff the original stack of letters into it, and write "Attachment" on the paper bag. Stuff the paper bag and the newly written letter into the same envelope, seal it, and send it out.

It was noon when the last zombie fell, and Xi Ke saw Xuan again. He saw him leading a group of palanquin bearers out of the cemetery carrying a large ornate palanquin. The man in the sedan chair glanced at Xi Ke from the window and smiled at him a little embarrassed. Xi Ke saw that the person was a half-faced skeleton, which was what Xi Ke had seen, and the half-faced skeleton had a look. The leader of the team held a large sign that read: "Chenghuang goes to the team, idlers avoid it." 」

This made Xi Ke think that the folk legend of his country is indeed that people who still protect people after death will be invited by the heavenly court to serve as a city god and become a god after guarding for a long time, doing a lot of good deeds, and accumulating a lot of virtue.

The team only appeared for a moment and then disappeared. Nick felt like he should show up to say goodbye to him. They won't see each other again.

Rick was later found by the living police. Just like Xuan said, Quinn really falsely accused him**, but because Rusebi told the truth to the adult, he was fine.

After returning to the Dragon's Den, Kaisi has always remained vigilant, always keeping the magic weapon at hand. It wasn't until he heard that the people in the House of Conversion had been expelled from the country that he relaxed a little.

Nick learned from him that there was a teenage child with wizard's eyes whose parents had entered a converted home, and that he had been abused to death in the home of the convert. And the court also gave a light sentence because it was their freedom of religion. This must have something to do with the huge power of other True God believers who didn't kill anyone.

One day, after a full meal, he asked Kai, "Have you ever seen a believer in the true God who has not gone to heaven and is still wandering on earth?"

"That's a lot. Kai Si smiled bitterly and said, "But I always thought it was an illusion created by the devil. It's rude to think about it now, they stood in front of me, and I said they didn't exist. 」

"So the reason you gave up the True God Cult wasn't that someone didn't go to heaven?" Nick wondered if he would be asking too directly, and added, "You don't have to answer. 」

Katsumi smiled and said, "I've been mentally prepared to share my story.

"I used to feel terrible. Because the people around me always tell me that you can't do anything without God, that you can't do anything without God, that if you don't have God, you'll be miserable and miserable, and if you don't have God, you'll become a ball, and if you don't have God, you'll just be in chaos forever. They said that the devil had always wanted to control me, and that I had to be close to God to avoid the devil. They said I had to be like a man who had fallen into the sea and was about to drown, that I could not swim, that I could not do anything, that I could only cry out to God for help, and that God would have mercy on me. This is the only way to be saved.

"I knew there was something wrong, but no one had ever given me any other choice, so like a man who was born a slave, I didn't know that I could be a free man. I thought I had to bear those words, I thought I was going to feel bad because I wasn't close enough to God. I tried harder to attend church, but they couldn't help me.

"I even went on a mission. They made me believe that if I went around telling people, 'I'm happy because of God.' God will love me to do this, and I will be truly happy. This is a complete lie, and it has led me to join this huge scam. Believers in the true God have been copying this lie, trying to produce something that doesn't exist through this process of copying.

"I don't have a problem, I don't have God, I don't have any painful, pitiful conditions that they say, they say I'm broken, and they want to fix me, and that's what really hurts me.

"I used to be sick all over my body, headaches, pus, digestive problems. After leaving them, everything was fine. The doctor told me it was because of my previous stress-driven illness. 」

Rick nodded. He noticed that Kai Si had never said that he would contact his family or anything like that. For a person who has grown up in religion, the result of breaking away from the religion of the true god is the loss of everyone around him. Those who love God more than others will never receive Him again.

It was only recently that he understood what evil he had witnessed when he was nineteen. At that time, he was in a wealthy family's house decorated in the style of Duozhou, and worked as a mage's assistant to their family mage.

In that place, mothers raped their daughters. The head of the family would rather spread the rumors of incest between him and his daughter than let the matter come to light.

He remembered what the other daughter of the family had told him at the time: for high society, incest was nothing, and homosexuality was bad.

This kind of value of the importance of things is completely contrary to the general view of the Ethero.

What did the daughter of that family mean, Miss Gino, by "high society"? The homophobic "society" refers to powerful puppets manipulated by the True God Cult.

At that time, Syk had already witnessed the influence of the True God Cult on the true deification of Sarafayi.

"There are religions that treat harm to others as a necessary part of their faith, and that religion should not continue to preach. Whether or not they target a particular religion when they harm people does not meet the definition of religious discrimination.

"Your reaction is special. Katsy laughed.

"I know that," said Rick. The political correctness of the day is to say, "Religion is all about persuasion." Clearly, this does not apply to the Cult of the True God, nor to the Order of the Night.

If all religions persuade people to do good, and all religions strengthen human morality, then they are not religions in essence, they are brainwashing.

These "religions" believe that there is a higher morality than human morality, and they require human beings to abandon their own morality in order to enforce "that morality." These "religions" believe that human morality can only be practiced (i.e., practiced "that" morality) if human morality conforms to "that" morality, and that when "that" morality conflicts with human morality, one should choose to practice "that" morality and abandon human moral conscience.

Rick continued: "If you were to write a book and publish a book that denies the true God, the letters of condemnation would probably come like snowflakes. If that didn't happen, it probably was because no one wanted to read that book.

"Actually, there are a lot of people who are already facing this kind of thing. In Ommidina, the hardest-hit area of the True God Cult, there are already people who have come out to resist.

Katsumi reminisced about himself. In his view, although the Aethera do not use the word "faith" in secular settings, the Aethera do have faith.

There is a story in the Book of Oracles that God wanted a man to sacrifice to God by killing his only beloved son. Although elsewhere in the oracle it is said that human sacrifice is not allowed, that person still does not question God, because it is not possible to guess God's will, and certainly not to guess why God has changed His principles. As a true believer, God asks him to do what he does, and he doesn't need a reason. He didn't ask God why he did this, but he did as God said, tied up his child, and seriously raised a knife to kill the child. He also broke everyone apart to make sure no one could stop him. At the last moment, his child was given a change to God for a sheep. God tested his faith in God with this, and He passed.

The oracles praise that man as honorable and make him a model for followers of the true God for generations. He was praised for "leaving no children of his own, and not giving them to God." He wasn't the only one in the Oracle Book to kill a child and sacrifice it to God.

There is a story in the history books of Ataro: In ancient times, a man who was appointed as a magistrate learned that there was a god in the local river called "Hebo" who asked for a wife, and if he did not obey, he would flood the place. The so-called "wifery" is to put the girl in an unreliable boat and throw her into the river to drift, and finally sink into the river, so that she can go to the river.

That person was present on the day of the marriage ceremony, and after seeing the bride, he said that the bride was too ugly, and it would provoke Mao Hebo if he offered it, and he had to personally choose a suitable one to offer, which meant that the wedding was going to be postponed. He threw the main messenger of this ritual into the river and told her to go to Hebo to convey the matter. After waiting for a while, of course, the man who was thrown into the river did not come back to report the results, so he said that maybe the man was lazy, and then threw another disciple of the main messenger down to help, and this one did not come back, so he threw it again, and so he threw away all the people who were doing the ceremony. The other supporters of Hebo's wife begged for mercy.

He declared, "It seems that Hebo has kept his guests, and let the matter of marrying a wife be put on hold. There was no longer a bad habit of Hebo marrying a wife in that place. The problem of water is also because he is well managed by water, and people understand that he is much better than Hebo, and they love him very much.

He was the model for the Etheric in dealing with God's problems. He was not the only Aether who defeated God in order to protect people.

Before coming to this continent, Kai Si had just returned from Gaizhou to the rangers' stronghold in Battlements. There was a large-scale incident in which the gods accused children of associating with the devil. Thousands of children have been doused with sulfuric acid, oil, sawed off their heads, and tens of thousands of children have been abandoned by their parents, and the situation continues to spread. The media did not report on it because it was related to their beloved true God and would "cause people to have a false impression of the loving true God," and almost no one knew about it. In the newspapers, you can only see (and usually pay special attention to) the news of Shinsuke's "righteous deeds" of building hospitals, shelters, and delivering supplies in foreign countries.

Even if someone succeeded in telling the outside world about it, they blamed it on "the uncivilized locals themselves." Ignoring the fact that before the Cult of God got there, no one would accuse a newborn baby of using witchcraft to curse his family as he did now.

Kaisi was physically and mentally exhausted by what he saw. He doubted the nature of human beings, and wondered where is goodness if even religion is so evil.

At that time, his teacher asked him, "Is there a place where people don't need religion for their beliefs, and you are not interested?"

Kai told him it was impossible. He lived in a culture that believed that God and truth were like two sides of the same coin, and so did religion and faith. There can be no faith where there is no religion.

The teacher smiled and said to him, "Let me put it another way. In that place, faith was valued more than religion. Are you going?"

Kaysi told him that if there was such a place, he wanted to see it.

That place is Aetaro.
