Roselea was a little unhappy at being treated like this by these residents. She turned on "Detect Evil" and looked at them one by one. She found that these people only had a very faint red light, which meant that they had not committed any crime at all. All of them are law-abiding civilians, and some of them have very weak red light, which shows that these people always do good things in normal times.
Even if there is no true god on the modern earth, so many people are bewitched by cults. In Saint Solon, a world with a true god, if everything you do pleases the god, you will receive feedback from the god and be rewarded by the god. and giving strength, which only makes people more crazy.
These passers-by took out vegetable leaves from their baskets, picked up stones on the ground, and threw them at Roselea. People always like to watch the fun. When they discovered what was going on here, more people Get involved.
In a world with gods, evil people can do evil at will, because there are evil gods protecting you; kind people can work hard to show their kindness, because there are good gods supporting you, but at the same time, in a world with gods, In this world, as long as mortals believe in God, they have distorted their will to some extent. The dogma of the gods has become the dogma of their lives, and they have lost themselves.
This is what worries Roselea the most. As a high-level paladin, she has read many ancient documents and knows that in the Age of Gods before the Era of Disaster, many evil gods used this method to express themselves. evil.
Those who resent God because of their hard lives are not true believers. It is difficult for true believers to shake their faith. Therefore, for God, how to make people believe in Him is the most difficult step, and as long as believers believe in Him themselves, they will work hard to please God, and they will regard all suffering as God’s lashing against them, instead of pouring out their anger on God.
Louis thought about the nature of gods and believers. He looked at the pain and bewilderment of the paladin lady with pleasure. He wondered if this paladin lady who firmly believed in kindness would be misunderstood and abused by the same kind people. In the middle, what if your heart is broken and you fall
The decrease in our family’s grain production in the past few days must be caused by this woman’s rebellion against our Lord. The cows at home did not produce enough milk today, which is also her fault. The dog of John’s family next door ran away, and it must be this woman. The reason for going to the Dragon City.
After inquiring about what this woman was doing, and knowing that she actually dared to 'assassinate' their lord, everyone looked crazy. A young man wearing a priest's robe looked at Louis' illusory figure with tears streaming down his face. He fiercely took out a small knife from his arms. If he hadn't been stopped by someone, I'm afraid this priest with little fighting ability would have gone up and stabbed Roselea several times.
She was a little confused and didn't know what she had done wrong. She really had no selfish motives. She just wanted to eliminate all evil and let the world be wrapped in kindness.
Pan-believers rely on their own will to choose their beliefs, while true believers have lost the ability to choose and live only to follow the teachings of their own gods.
A world with God and a world without God each have their own advantages.
Although this evil god has not yet shown how cruel he is, as his church expands and his followers grow stronger, one day this evil god will change his doctrine and let his followers use more evil methods. When they please themselves, those who have completely believed in him will also be abandoned by goodness and fall into the embrace of evil.
"No, we can't take advantage of her like this. We have to tie her up and send her to the court. We have to tie her up in the middle of the square and let her repent for her sins in the fire!"
To a certain extent, these followers of themselves are fools. They don’t think much about themselves, have never studied philosophy, and have never exercised their logical thinking. In their simple lives and thoughts, as long as they can live a life like A person's life is happiness if he can have enough food and clothing. The god who gives them this is a kind god, and the paladin who wants to break their life is the greatest evil.
These poor unbelievers became believers because Louis gave them the dignity of living. When their faith became true, even if Louis deprived them of their current life, they would no longer resent God, but would He regarded his suffering as a punishment for disobeying the gods.
Louis watched all this with cold eyes. Even in the modern society of the earth, there are many ignorant people, let alone the civilization of St. Sauron, which is close to the Middle Ages.
The crowd was excited, roaring hoarsely, one by one scolding Roselea, and pouring countless accusations on her.
"Go to hell, you devil from hell."
Those evil gods lured ordinary people, causing them to fall from the realm of good to evil. They were gradually changed under the teachings of the evil gods and became those crazy cultists.
When stones were thrown at her, Roselea did not dare to resist, or even use her special ability to resist. She was afraid that the stones would accidentally injure other innocent people because of her, so she could only endure it silently, no matter what. These stones were thrown at her face, causing her beautiful and holy face to be bruised and swollen.
There was a middle-aged woman who looked like she was crazy. She shouted sharply, like one of those disgusting shrews, but the fervent belief in her eyes and the hope for the future life made her madness more sacred.
"I have seen the devils in hell. I have seen them in the market of Dragon City before. Even those devils are more polite than this blasphemer. Those devils also know how to respect our Lord, but this woman is not even as good as the devil. !”
Don’t think this is something difficult to understand. In fact, many people initially believe in God because of the goodness in their hearts. But when their faith becomes true, even if the church’s teachings change, the more firmly believers become The more they become degenerate, the more likely they are to continue to maintain their good deeds, those who are not firm in their faith.
Roselea was surrounded by many people. She was at a loss. She shook her head and said: "... No, I'm not... This has nothing to do with me. I didn't do anything."
The paladin cannot take action against kind people, and the people surrounding her are also kind people without sin. They did not do anything more excessive to her, so Roselea could only endure the abuse and stones. The pain that hits the body.
Looking at these crazy crowds nearby, Roselea believed that they were already true believers of the evil god. If the evil god asked them to do good, they would do good. If the evil god asked them to do evil, these believers would not hesitate to do evil. This is the scariest thing about belief, it can even distort oneself!
"It was the great Lord Dragon God who allowed me to live a life that can be called a human. You, this blasphemous woman, are the devil in the abyss."
"Let her get out. Such evil spirits are not welcome in the City of Dragons!"
"This woman, she is blaspheming. She dares to assassinate the lord on the street. She is violating the law! My lord, my son Allen has just been selected to enter the tower to learn knowledge. In the future, he may become a noble mage. , these are all gifts from the Lord, you are a devil who tries to deprive me and my children of life, even if I die, I will not let you get close to my Lord!"
The best way to deal with paladins is to defeat them with kindness. As long as the paladins fail to adhere to their creed, they will completely lose everything, become distorted and degenerate. That is something more terrifying than death.
But why would these kind-hearted people treat her, a paladin, like this? The city created by the evil god is really a city of sin, because the luxury that leads to decadence must have broken up the families of countless people. He drains the outsiders like a vampire, and like those greedy nobles who use those Adventurers living at the bottom exchange their lives for prosperity.
