The style of the Dahl family is insidious and cruel to the outside world, but united internally, so even in such high-level family meetings, young people still have the opportunity to speak - of course, it is impossible to speak freely, and qualifications are qualifications.
The young knight-to-be said what he said, and no one criticized him. The entire conference hall fell into silence.
Everyone is thinking about whether his suggestion is reliable or not.
After a while, the knight who presided over the winter sweep operation said in a deep voice: "If you think about it carefully, it seems good. The Void Mask Church is very united, and His Majesty is also a very generous and caring god. . If we go there, we should be able to get good treatment."
"And the key is that His Majesty is strong enough! And he often takes action." The old knight nodded and said, "Everything else is empty. He is very strong, strong enough to protect our family, and at the same time, he often protects believers. Take action, that’s the most important thing.”
He paused and continued: "You may be young and have never seen the scene when He was furious and powerful on the East China Sea. At that time, the entire main plane was turbulent, and even in the Dar Territory, you could see dark clouds rolling in the sky. Flying straight to the east. Even more furious roars shook the heaven and earth, making the mountains tremble. Then he crashed through the sky, and not long after, the kingdom of the sea goddess fell into the sea. Before that, the god of storms had already fallen... At that time, I was still a young knight's squire, almost younger than the youngest here. Although across thousands of mountains and rivers, I could only vaguely feel a little bit of His power, but that little bit of power had already made my legs Trembling, unable to even stand."
He picked up the wine glass in front of him and wanted to take a sip, but his hands couldn't help but tremble. A knight next to him quickly supported him, picked up the cup and slowly fed him a sip to calm him down.
"Later we learned that He was furious because His chief priest, Leon Igor, was besieged and killed by the believers and priests of the previous Ocean God, and the Storm God was behind the scenes in that battle. His command." The old knight sighed deeply, the fear still in his eyes, "The two gods were beaten to death by Him for this reason."
He was deeply silent for a while, and his voice was a little low: "If you really want to take refuge, take refuge in such a strong man, I agree!"
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they all nodded.
They were relatively young, and indeed they had never seen the scene when Sui Xiong showed his power and killed two gods in a row, but looking at the attitude of the elders of the clan, they knew that this matter could not be faked.
A strong man who is willing to kill two gods in a row for his own chief priest is indeed extremely reliable!
"Then the question comes." Baron Dahl smiled and said, "We all know that His Majesty the Mask of the Void is a kind god. He doesn't mind whether believers abide by the law or do whatever they want, but he requires believers to abide by kindness. The way is to at least be neutral and inclined toward kindness."
As he spoke, he looked around and glanced at the faces of the clansmen one by one.
He saw worries and uneasiness on the faces of most of the tribesmen.
"We are all family members here, so I won't say anything nice. The roots of our family are the smuggling business, and there are many shady, sinister and vicious ones in it. Not to mention the bad things we did because of the business. … Hehe, even if we don’t consider business, in ordinary life, most of us can’t be said to be good people.”
"It's not just as simple as 'not a good person'." His younger brother, who became a scholar, smiled bitterly, "If someone puts a spell to detect evil here, I bet our bodies here won't emit red light (red light means evil) , I’m afraid I can count them all on one hand.”
"Yes, if we want to convert to Mask of the Void, we must change our evil ways and do good deeds from now on. All the past habits must be changed." Baron Dahl's expression became serious, "This is not a small matter. Ask yourselves, can you Can’t do it?”
"We have to do it even if we can't do it!" the old knight said solemnly, "Now the noble faction and the merchant faction are about to see each other. If we don't find a backer and jump out of this turmoil, our family will be destroyed accidentally. The end! It is indeed not easy to change your past and give up evil and do good, but it is better than losing your life!"
He said it strongly, but no one refuted it.
Everyone knows how dangerous the situation is. Now the Dahl family must find a reliable backer, and they can no longer care about anything else.
"How about finding the Church of the Noble God?" After a while, a knight who often went out said thoughtfully, "Instead of seeking refuge with the Noble Faction, it would be better to seek refuge with the Church of the Noble God."
"This is a good idea, but the Church of the God of Nobles is unreliable." The old knight sighed. "Although they have accomplished a lot of great things over the years, they have failed even more. If we rely on them, the situation will be unfavorable. If we do, they may abandon us at any time.”
"For the big shots, it is natural to throw away the little ones to keep the big ones, and we do this kind of thing too. But this time... it is our turn to become the 'little ones' who may be thrown away..."
The proposing knight sighed and hung his head.
Indeed, as the old knight said, although the Church of the Noble God is powerful, its style is not very reliable. There have been many incidents of them abandoning their partners over the years.
If everyone entrusted them with their lives and wealth, and then were abandoned due to unfavorable circumstances, then not only would the Dahl family be destroyed, but their bloodline might even be completely cut off!
In comparison, the Church of the Mask of the Void is much more reliable. No matter how severe and unfavorable the situation is, everyone still has the last option of "saving people in Shidi". As long as you take the family's wealth and flee to Void City, no matter how the noble faction and the merchant faction fight, there is nothing we can do.
"Actually, I think... how about we gradually move to Void City now?" The Baron's younger brother said thoughtfully, "It would be good to at least preserve some of our vitality first."
"It's a good idea, but it can't be done." Baron Dahl shook his head, "The portal to Void City is in the capital. In this situation, it's too late for us to avoid the capital, so we can get there by ourselves? Are you looking for death?"
His brother sighed and shook his head silently, feeling helpless.
"It seems that we really have only one choice left." Baron Dahl looked around and saw the bitter but relaxed expressions on everyone's faces. He sighed softly and patted the table, which was considered a decision on the matter.
"Early tomorrow morning... no, after we have a late night snack, we will go to the Void Mask Temple!"
