Offending a god is more terrifying than offending a king┉┉
On the contrary, getting the intimacy of a god is more honorable than getting the favor of a king. You must know that the bottle of resurrection potion that Alisa drank can definitely be regarded as a priceless thing on the mainland. There are countless Who in a high position wouldn't want to get a bottle of this treasure that can save his life at a critical moment. Not to mention those giant dragons that were sent as servants by the ancient gods. You must know that no matter which country they are placed in, they can be called strategic weapons. Although the giant dragons have disappeared on the road for a long time, some ancient Documents record the power of a giant dragon. Usually a giant dragon can directly sweep an army of tens of thousands of people. There are even records of some small countries being destroyed by a giant dragon!
God is great! It is omnipotent!
Every myth and poem describes the gods in this way. The gods can give believers huge power, make the poor rich and powerful, turn the weak into the invincible strong, and turn the fool into a wise man who attracts world attention!
"Your Majesty Lelouch, please forgive me for asking this boldly." Lady Angelina's tone became cautious for fear of offending Lelouch: "Are the gods worshiped by the Holy See and the Holy City related to the supreme being behind you? ?”
Alisa's heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate at her mother's words. Even in secular countries, topics related to the relationship and identity of royal family members are generally taboo. Even nobles only dare to discuss these issues in private. Without that person I dare you to ask these privacy questions. Mortals are like this, let alone gods. Every god is hidden in the mist, bringing an unknown sense of mystery and majesty to believers. It is really because of this mystery and fear of the unknown that makes believers more pious. and the gods they believe in. It was a huge offense for my mother to ask about this topic of the relationship between gods so suddenly! !
After swallowing her saliva, Alisa hurriedly glanced at her mother, reminding her to take back her words quickly.
Lady Angelina ignored the gaze prompts from her daughter. As the head wife of the Westphalian family, she was also a former royal princess. Lady Angelina naturally understood the intention of her daughter's gaze. It’s just that the current situation makes Lady Angelina no longer care about so much. She is involved in this unimaginable game between gods and demons. Whether it is for her daughter, her family or even the entire Kingdom of Belrama, she must be involved in this game. Be careful to stand in the right team, otherwise, let alone the Westphalian family, the entire Kingdom of Belrama will be crushed to pieces by these huge forces from outside the world.
So there are some things that Mrs. Angelina must figure out!
"If anything, it's probably a competitor┉┉" Lelouch didn't feel any displeasure because of the question. It's just that Lelouch's answer seemed ambiguous and uncertain.
Competitor! ? This answer made Lady Angelina slightly stunned.
"The gods sometimes have different interests and appeals like the annoying people. Different races and different regions worship their own gods. For this reason, the competition between the gods for faith is also very fierce. "
“Aren’t gods omnipotent?”
"That is a view imposed by mortals themselves, and it is also a lie fabricated by some weak gods in order to gain more faith. Of course, there is no doubt that gods are indeed extremely powerful, but no god can reach the level of omnipotence. . Just like the former god of war Mars, he may be omnipotent in war, but he is powerless in making money.”
Lelouch revealed a lot of secrets without reservation, which made Lady Angelina think deeply.
In Mrs. Angelina's view, gods are not as easy to talk to as mortals. The teachings of the Holy See in the eastern part of the continent only worship the goddess Ishtar as the only true form in the world. The rest of the gods are classified as evil gods and demons who deceive the world. The Holy City may be a little better, at least it is not so extreme in recognizing the existence of only one god. Different races living in the western part of the continent all have their own supreme gods they worship, but apart from the five supreme gods, the Holy City is not very Acknowledge other gods.
Rather than saying they are competitors, let’s just say they are enemies! Lady Angelina cursed secretly in her heart.
"Lord Lelouch, you directly told me so many private secrets about the gods. Aren't you afraid of offending the great being behind you?"
In fact, Madam Angelina was still a little uncomfortable with Lelouch talking so much about gods and even using a somewhat disrespectful tone in his words.
On the contrary, Lelouch replied nonchalantly: "Because you are a smart lady. You are not that kind of ignorant village woman. I don't think you will believe those flattering words to the power of gods. As well as those bombastic gods. On the contrary, my Lord is also a very realistic god and does not like to let believers perform meaningless performances and propaganda just to show their strength and achievements."
"This is really a surprising god." A subtle look flashed in Mrs. Angelina's eyes.
"In comparison, my lord prefers equal exchange. How much benefit a believer can bring to my lord will be rewarded by my lord's strength."
"Isn't that like an exchange like a businessman?"
Mrs. Angelina was a little confused as to how such a god could gather his followers.
"Lady Angelina, what do you think of the gods?"
Lelouch showed a meaningful smile at this time: "In your eyes, do gods should endlessly satisfy the requirements of believers, just like a generous philanthropist, continue to give believers more power? Without asking for anything in return?”
"I think that's probably how most religious people view gods."
"But in fact. It is impossible for gods to give power to every believer. Even the Holy Vatican Goddess Ishtar only gave enough power to the pope and bishops who are her spokespersons on the Holy Mountain of the Vatican. The rest are in her eyes. They are all servants who should obey their own representatives. Even if these believers are equally pious and will donate money to the Holy See, what these believers receive is only spiritual and spiritual satisfaction, which is a completely unequal reward."
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Angelina was speechless, indeed! It is impossible for gods to take care of every believer. The degree of divine grace received by a pope is always very different from that of ordinary believers.
"To put it simply, my Lord hates those incompetent people who only know how to fold their hands and pray that God can give him everything out of thin air. In comparison, my Lord prefers to help those who are worthy of help, those who are willing to risk their lives and sacrifice their lives for success. People! Instead of begging for help from others with a pathetic posture, it is better to make some achievements to make others feel worthy of helping you!" Lelouch said forcefully.
"Personally, I agree with this idea of equivalent exchange."
The gods who support the strong but not the weak may be spread out, which may indeed make the world feel that they have subverted their understanding of gods. However, as the wife of a businessman family, Mrs. Angelina has no position to accuse the other party. After all, in the shopping mall, this This is something that every profit-seeking businessman would dare to do. No one would be willing to spend even 1 Lien to invest in mud that cannot support the wall.
But Mrs. Angelina also has her own demands. Now that the Westphalia family is involved in this game and cannot choose to withdraw, they can only bite the bullet and participate. Of course, as a secular force, the Westphalia family cannot compete. The devil needs strong foreign aid, but as the saying goes, even if you want to hug your thigh, you have to choose the thickest one to hug.
I just don’t know which goddess of the Holy See is stronger or weaker than this unknown ancient god, or there is no need to judge this issue at all. After all, neither party is a existence that the Westphalian family can fight against. But although the Westphalian family is not a devout believer, after all, the Holy See has deep roots in the entire eastern part of the continent, and its influence cannot allow Lady Angelina to make a rash decision.
"Can you give me a moment?"
"certainly!"
Lelouch casually made a gesture of invitation. Madam Angelina fell into deep thought for a while, and the air in the VIP room suddenly fell into a depressing atmosphere.
Logically speaking, when such a demonic invasion occurs, the Holy See should intervene to eradicate the demons entrenched in the Golden Spike territory. However, this will obviously further strengthen the Holy See's voice in the Kingdom of Belrama and even the entire Eastern Continent. Knowing that putting divine power above royal power has always been the dream of the Holy See. As the wife of the Westphalian family and a royal member of the Kingdom of Belrama, Lady Angelina must consider these two issues, but at the same time, the demons in the Golden Spike territory must be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise the demons will act like The plague spread to every corner of the country.
Alisa's situation is very special. Apparently from the previous dialogue, Mrs. Angelina felt that the boy named Lelouch and the god behind him seemed to want to use Alisa's talents. However, in order to protect her daughter, she To a certain extent, Mrs. Angelina felt that her daughter might be safer under the protection of the messenger of the gods.
"So, Sir Lelouch, can the ancient god behind you help the Kingdom of Belrama eliminate the demons in the Golden Spike Territory?" Lady Angelina mustered up the courage to ask one last question.
However, the answer Lelouch gave to Lady Angelina was unexpected. (To be continued...)
