Broad World

"boom!"

With an earth-shattering loud noise, Sylventam found in horror that his lower body was rapidly disintegrating, and completely disappeared into the air in just a few seconds, leaving no residue or powder behind. ~Top~Point~*Fiction He was terrified and desperately backed away, trying to escape.

But as we all know, spiders have a big belly, and their sudden disappearance will undoubtedly cause the balance to go out of control, and they will not get up fast at all.

Colby waved a huge mace, laughed wildly and shouted: "Hahahahahaha! Weak god, you are doomed today. I will soon taste the blood full of divinity, which will bring me More power."

"No! No! No!!! Go away! Devil! You are blaspheming!" Sylventam reluctantly raised the weapon in his hand to resist, and in the blink of an eye, two legs were broken. At this moment, he was at the end of his rope, and even had more than enough energy to escape.

"Hey! Accept your fate! Who told you to offend the master." As he spoke, Colby took advantage of the situation and slammed hard on the opponent's arm.

Hearing a click, Sylventam wailed in pain: "Ahhh! My arm! My arm!"

He only felt that after being hit by the hammer, a terrible force attached to the wound, as if being bitten by thousands of insects, coupled with fractures, even a god could not stand the feeling.

At this moment, there was a wave of fluctuation in the air. In the next second, Henry stepped across the space and appeared on the spot. He glanced at the miserable state of the demigod with a sneer, and announced condescendingly: "Remember, this is my revenge, the price you need to pay for stabbing me with a sword just now. Of course, this is only part of the interest. In the future, I will personally go to the Demonic Net of the Deep Pit to get it back."

The voice just fell. The two flames instantly engulfed the entire body, and Selventam completely disappeared before he could make any sound, leaving not even a trace.

Velen stared greedily at the black and white flames, wishing he could take them for himself. But he is very clear that he is definitely not the opponent of the human being in front of him in a frontal battle. It is unimaginable that such a terrifying power can be mastered by a mortal.

Eilistraee noticed her brother's ugly expression and frowned, "I'm warning you. It's best not to make bad decisions, otherwise what happened to Selvetam just now may happen to you again. "

"Of course, I don't want to lose this avatar yet." Velen smiled hypocritically. His priesthood is conspiracy, so it is easy to disguise himself so that outsiders can't see a trace.

After destroying Selvetham's incarnation, Henry ordered Colby to avoid it, and then returned to the original place. He briefly glanced at the expressions of the two gods, and then said: "I have finished dealing with my personal grievances, and now I can sit down and talk."

"What are you talking about? I will never cooperate with such an evil person." After speaking, a look of disgust flashed in Eilistraee's eyes. She obviously disliked her elder brother who was plotting schemes all day long. I can't wait to kill the opponent with a sword.

In the world of gods, there is no family affection at all. All of their codes of conduct are contained within their alignment and portfolio. As long as there is a conflict between these two items, even parents and lovers will turn against each other sooner or later.

The corners of Velen's mouth under the mask were slightly raised, and he asked with a meaningful smile: "Why don't you sit down and listen? Maybe this powerful mortal has some good suggestions that can benefit us all."

"Yes, I have a plan, a very large and complicated plan, which can help you break Rose's monopoly on the belief of the dark elves." Henry called out the name of the Spider Goddess without any concealment. Because there are also two gods standing in front of him, although the strength is not too strong, it is easy to block the perception of the other god.

"Break the monopoly of faith? It sounds good, let's hear it." Eilistraee suddenly became excited.

This is no wonder, after all, she has been working hard all her life to restore the kindness of the dark elves, but due to Rose's brutal teachings and strong control over the entire race, the effect is very unsatisfactory, and can even be described as dismal. If she hadn't had a group of powerful allies, this goddess who loved naked body dancing would have been killed by her own mother long ago.

"As you wish, the plan is like this..." Henry smiled meaningfully, and sacrificed the trump card he had prepared...

Now that you have torn your face, you must spare no effort to attack the enemy. The so-called enemy of an enemy is a friend. One of the two gods in front of me has always stood uprightly to oppose Rose, while the other, although not daring to directly resist, is deliberately doing small tricks. They are all objects that can be united. Things are of great benefit to them, I believe no one will refuse.

As the saying goes, there is no stronger relationship than interests in the world. Although it looks so fragile, in fact, it is generally impossible under the premise that both parties have similar strengths and can continue to benefit. Someone easily tore up the agreement.

What's more, Henry didn't intend to let Velen and Eilistraee form an alliance from the beginning, but let them act independently to cause trouble for Rose. After all, one of the two gods is in the good camp, and the other is in the evil camp. They are completely opposite in essence, and it is impossible to join forces to fight against the enemy.

His eyes shone with wisdom, and he counted the mistakes made by the Spider Goddess one by one in a teasing voice, and how he could shake the belief of the dark elves on a large scale.

Ten minutes later, both the dark girl Eilistraee and the conspiracy Velen all showed awe in their eyes. They found that the human being in front of them not only possesses terrifying power, but also has a thorough research on the essence of belief, society and affirmation, especially this so-called "bloodletting" plan, as long as it is implemented, it will not take long for Rose His divine power dropped rapidly, and he could no longer maintain absolute suppression of other dark elf gods.

What is faith?

In a world without gods, belief comes from people's comprehensive cognition of nature, human society, and people themselves, and a kind of belief generated by choosing and affirming the relevant theoretical systems existing in the society at that time, and is willing to use it as their own. The highest action guide, it is a voluntary act, and believers often worship it with a heart of awe, and the resulting love of awe will continuously restrict their daily behavior and benefit believers The phenomenon of spiritual sustenance.

But it is completely different in Faerun. Since the gods really exist and often interfere in the lives of mortals, faith here means power. Church, priest, magic, kingdom after death...

All of this forms a complete cycle system. As long as there is a problem in one of the links, the cycle will be interrupted. At least it will cause the god's influence and godhead level to decline, and at the worst it will directly cause the entire system to collapse and go to the astral world to lie dead .

What is the standard for a mortal to choose a belief?

It's very simple, first of all, it must be consistent with its own life philosophy, second, it must protect the interests of its own class, and finally, it must be protected by the power of the temple when threatened. This is like the nobles who mostly believe in the noble goddess Xienworth (her teachings are divine right, which is very conducive to establishing a firm rule), the barbarians tend to believe in the god of war Tempus (because it advocates fair and heroic battles), the border It is easier for guards to choose Heim, the god of guards.

Of course, this is not absolute, as the saying goes, faith cannot be forced, but it can be guided. For example, if a baby is born, everyone he comes into contact with is a believer of the same god. After a long period of edification, if there is no accident when he grows up, he must also be a believer of this god. impact on the environment.

Apparently, this is the case with the Dark Elves. Rose and her priestess spared no effort to fight against the heretics, and used various cruel means to warn the whole race of the miserable end of the traitors. It can be said that her belief system is entirely based on fear, and she achieves monopoly by preventing drow from contacting other gods.

Undoubtedly, without any choice, most of the dark elves can only offer their faith helplessly for the sake of their own lives. It's not that they agree with Rose's idea, it's just a forced survival method, just like the Europeans and Americans on the earth talk about God all day long, and I'm afraid not even a thousandth of them really believe in it.

What Henry has to do now is to take advantage of the inconvenient underground transportation, concentrate on starting from a small gathering point, kill high-ranking female priests in large numbers, and then help male rulers to come to the fore, so that Rose can establish a women-oriented society. The matriarchal society will start to loosen. As long as the action is fast enough, it is possible to seize 15% to 20% of the population base.

In this way, the "Dark Elf", the most important item in her priesthood, is likely to be completely lost. After all, the most important thing about a race's priesthood is that the race must be completely under control. Once 20% of the faith base is lost, it is not considered complete control at all.

"In short, the two of you don't need much contact, just do your own thing. After the work is done, I can give limited help, such as food, weapons, armor, helping to train the army, etc. And if your gathering place If I am attacked by other dark elf cities, I can also send high-level spellcasters and fighters to help." Henry promised to help at the end.

He is very clear about these two, one is a master at playing tricks and assassinations, the other is a bit too naive and kind, and has no experience in building cities and defense systems. Maybe people will starve to death. If you don't help, the advantage you have gained will be taken back by Rose sooner or later.

"Mighty mortal, you have provided a very interesting opportunity. I admit that I am a little tempted, but there is one biggest question, how can you guarantee that you can resist my crazy revenge for my mother?" Velen gently helped asked the mask over the eyes. His attitude clearly does not regard anyone as an ally, and he may be planning to throw the other two ahead as cannon fodder in his heart. (To be continued..)
