The Burning Demon destroyed the Berserker's demon fortress, and the Berserker's head was smashed by the Burning Demon's hammer, which meant that this land became under the Burning Demon's jurisdiction.
The demons quickly expressed their allegiance. Demons are very follow-the-crowd creatures, and their personalities determine that they will not be too loyal to any lord. Even if the Burning Demon rules them now, as long as the Burning Demon loses one day, they will forget the Burning Demon at the fastest speed, just like they are forgetting the Berserker Demon now!
However, the Burning Demon did not expect these demons to work for him. The invasion force was only a small purpose. For the Burning Demon, the ultimate reason for doing all this was just to deliver more slaves for the sake of order!
The power of the God of Tyranny may invade order at any time. The god does not like to wait, especially since Chen Feng has given the other party a lot of humiliation. As a god, it will inevitably give Chen Feng some punishment as quickly as possible.
The demons loyal to the Burning Demon had not yet imagined that their fate would change drastically in the near future. The lucky ones might survive the battle, but the vast majority of demons would become corpses.
Construction requires enough demons, but a prosperous era does not need demons. Even if a large number of demons survive the war, they will lose their lives in the endless labor.
The actions of the Burning Demon attracted considerable attention from the surrounding demon lords. On the one hand, the Burning Demon's reputation increased greatly, and many demons came to him for surrender. On the other hand, this also made many demon lords somewhat wary of this neighbor.
The storm is coming.
In the dark abyss, a conspiracy against the Burning Demon is quietly being plotted.
… … … … …
The God of Tyranny has become Chen Feng's biggest concern at the moment, but the order of growth has given him enough confidence to deal with this disaster.
Everything was going on quietly, but Chen Feng was unable to figure out the God's thoughts. However, he was already prepared. When he drove the army of the God of Tyranny out of his territory, it would be time for him to enter the abyss and explore a higher realm.
As a deity, it is impossible for Rose to come to the human world on purpose to deceive herself.
Just when Chen Feng's expression was tense, after Rose, order once again welcomed a mysterious visitor, and another god descended on this land.
Ilmat!
Compared with Rose's cruelty and scheming, after Chen Feng explored the knowledge of the abyss, he learned that this deity actually belonged to the righteous side of lawful good.
Alignment: Lawful Good
Priesthood: Patience, suffering, martyrdom, perseverance.
Worshipers: The disabled, the oppressed, the poor, monks, paladins, slaves, serfs
Cleric Alignment: Lawful Good, Neutral Good, Lawful Neutral
Domains: Good, Healing, Law, Torture.
Favored Weapon: One open hand (unarmed attack)
Ilmater is a kind, gentle, quiet, and peaceful god who voluntarily bears the suffering of the entire world. However, although the Weeping God has a very gentle personality, he can also show a very violent and cruel side when he is angry. He cares deeply about all the children and young lives in the world, and strikes those who dare to harm those he protects.
He is depicted as a man with scars all over his body. These horrible wounds symbolize the suffering and torture he has endured for the world. Although he is thin and short, wearing only a loin cloth and slightly bald, his plain face always has a comfortable and gentle smile.
Although many people misunderstand the teachings of the Weeping God (or even mock them), Ilmater's church has many of the most steadfast followers in the entire continent of Faerun. In this cruel and realistic world, many victims, the sick, and the poor rely on the charity of Ilmater's church.
The people of many regions respect the Church of the Weeping God, and his priests often receive generous assistance when they practice medicine for free. Some people cannot understand why anyone in the world would willingly endure torture, and therefore often misunderstand the Church of Ilmater. Those who despise the weak often think that the followers of the Weeping God are a group of reckless weaklings - however, it is obvious that these tyrants and scoundrels have underestimated these kind believers.
It is not difficult to see from the information Chen Feng has that Ilmater is a deity regarded as weird by countless people!
Ilmater's priests pray for spells in the morning, but they also pray to him at least six times a day. The Church of the Weeping God has no holy days, but occasionally his priests will ask the deity for a "rest," which allows the priest to rest for ten days and temporarily put aside his vows to the Weeping God, to avoid fatigue in the priest's faith or to allow the priest to perform actions that Ilmater does not approve of.
Each cleric of Ilmater strives to convince the dying to accept Ilmater's ideas, so that they can receive the blessing of the Weeping God before they die (this last prayer does not convert the dying person to Ilmater). As faith in the Weeping God grows over the years (even before death), his healing powers grow stronger. Many clerics of the Weeping God learn the feat of brewing potions, so that they will not be in a situation where they are unable to provide medical care when someone needs it.
Of course, Ilmater's followers are by no means all civilians. Among his believers, the most powerful group is called the Broken Ones!
They are a fighting group that believes in the Weeping God. In addition to monks, there are also many boxing masters. In addition to protecting all believers and temples, the members of the group are also responsible for punishing those who cruelly hurt others. Some of the monks can be part-time priests, and can also advance to mystic believers, holy warriors, divine believers, divine seekers, and saints without being punished for leaving their profession.
There are quite a few monks in the abyss, but there are even some boxing masters in the list of those loyal to Ilmater. This is extremely surprising. After all, compared with monks, the number of boxing masters is undoubtedly much scarcer.
In a sense, the reason why Ilmat was able to find Chen Feng was because of Flora!
Don't think that lawful good beings will never set foot in the abyss. Even though the abyss is full of darkness, there are also countless levels of creatures gathered here. They communicate and trade together, trying to gain more powerful strength. This kind of power is seen as capital for killing by demons, but for lawful good warriors, strength is to better protect the weak.
Ilmater does not stop his men from moving around in the abyss, so one can often see some strange-looking monks or boxing masters walking in the markets of some levels.
Ilmater often transforms himself into some distressed and injured people and wanders around many levels, trying to rescue those creatures exiled by the abyss.
In Ilmater's eyes, even demons are treated equally. This shows to what extent the kindness and brilliance of the other party has risen!
Ilmater happened to pass by the fortress where Fulla was. He originally just wanted to check out this newly emerging force, but when they met, he discovered that Fulla was a master of boxing, which made Ilmater curious. However, a master of boxing would not make Ilmater behave as he did in the past. The reason why he chose to stay was that he saw the orderly movements in the fortress and the good mental state of the abyss residents.
The Abyss is a complex and desolate land where most demons feed on their own kind.
But even so, Ilmater did not discriminate against these ugly demons, but instead provided them with some help.
Because this is inseparable from the teachings of Ilmater.
doctrine:
Helping the wounded in the world and bearing the suffering for others is the most sacred act. If you suffer for others, Ilmater will give you the courage and strength to hold on. No matter what pain and danger you suffer, you must stick to the right principles and never waver. It is glorious to die for the right beliefs. You should stand up to tyrants and stop all unjust atrocities. You should focus on the improvement of your spirit, rather than clinging to the feelings of the flesh.
Priests and Temples:
Ilmater's priests share what they have with all who are in need, soothe the depressed, and nurse the wounded. They also stand up for the oppressed, guide the lost, give relief and shelter to the hungry and homeless, and gather herbs to make potions to fight disease.
In addition, they will bury unknown bodies, provide free medical treatment for the sick, and give food, water, and firewood to poor residents. Although they believe that life is sacred and that enduring suffering is a holy deed, they will not force others to accept their beliefs, nor will they condemn the beliefs chosen by others.
Whenever a war is about to break out, Ilmater's priests will try their best to prepare stretchers, shovels, gauze, tents, splints, bandages, various herbs and medical potions to save the large number of casualties caused by the war. They will also go to various wealthy countries and cities in the continent of Faerun to raise funds to reduce the financial burden of the church.
Temples of Ilmater are usually located in the countryside, close to major trade routes, to provide a resting place for weary travelers. Most temples are named after saints in the church (the Church of the Weeping God has canonized many of its most revered followers). Many temples are farmsteads with chapels, stables, and vegetable gardens, surrounded by protective walls. All temples try to help and care for the sick and wounded. Larger temples may also have libraries, training grounds for monks, or barracks for the Knights of the Weeping God to live in.
Clerics of Ilmater usually wear a thick gray tunic and pants, or a gray robe. They also wear a gray (for ordinary clerics) or red (for high-ranking clerics) skullcap (similar to the hats Jewish clerics wear when praying), although unapproved clerics do not wear skullcaps. Clerics wear a pin of Ilmater's holy symbol over their hearts (or a necklace around their necks). Some high-ranking clerics also have a gray teardrop tattooed on their faces (under either the left or right eye).
… … … … …
Originally, Ilmater was just going to spend a few days in the fortress ruled by Fura, but as time went by, he discovered many creatures that were different from demons (scientific researchers sent by Order). In addition to these people, what surprised Ilmater the most was that a lot of food was planted in a large number of open spaces!
Those foods had never appeared in the abyss, but the output was surprisingly large, which made Ilmater, who had countless levels in his mind, curious. Therefore, he finally appeared in front of Fulla.
No one dared to go against the God. Even though Chen Feng was behind Fulla, she still looked a little nervous when facing the God. After all, she was not alone now, and the baby in her belly had become a treasure that she could not give up.
After a period of conversation, the meeting ended when the baby in Fura's belly received Ilmater's blessing.
Ilmater finally got the information he wanted. Those foods were called potatoes and corn!
Compared to the food in the human world, the land and environment of the Abyss are actually not suitable for growing original food ingredients, but the scientific and technological personnel from Order broke through these situations. They used their wisdom and hands to sow seeds in the land of the Abyss. Relying on the vast land, the Demon Fortress ruled by Fura, in addition to meeting the needs of all warriors, even does foreign trade business, selling food to surrounding neighbors and even demons in more distant areas!
The creatures in the abyss are also made of flesh and blood, not steel, so they also need to eat. However, there are too many demons in the abyss, and the so-called worms are simply unable to satisfy tens of millions of demons. Therefore, some unspoken rules occur in the demon army, that is, the weak will be devoured by the strong.
It is precisely because of this that the demon army is always on the brink of collapse. That is because in unknown corners, countless demons gather together. They fight and devour for the simplest reason, which is to fill their stomachs.
And now, as Fulla has provided her subordinates with large amounts of food, even abundant food, the spirits of the demons have reached a new height. This is also a proposition studied by Fulla and some wise men of Order.
When the demons are full, will they fall into a certain stable state? From the current research situation, being well fed and well clothed does alleviate the madness of some demons.
Food is extremely important in any dimension. As a member of the good camp, Ilmater has been committed to making the lives of poor people better for countless years. Now, a turning point to alleviate hunger has emerged, and Ilmater will naturally not give up this rare opportunity easily.
Therefore, on a peaceful day, a giant from the abyss came to the room where Chen Feng was.
Suddenly seeing the flash of divinity, Chen Feng's nerves immediately tensed up. When he was about to summon all the fighting forces including the Atrophied, he suddenly discovered that the visitor was not the God of Tyranny, but a deity with an unusually strange aura.
Ilmater has been born for countless centuries. Although he is friendly, he cannot change the fact that he is a god.
Ilmat did not waste any time. He quickly stated the ultimate purpose of his visit, which was that he wanted to make a deal with Chen Feng!
