Broad World

Chapter 450: Cult Headquarters

In fact, there was never such a thing as fairness, and the word was originally coined for comparison. In other words, fairness is relative, and it will only work when the difference in status between two people is not large. Just like the king and the beggar can never eat and live the same, when there is a huge gap between the identities of two people, the so-called fairness will no longer exist.

The God of Justice is a god with utopian ideals, and wants to create an absolutely fair, perfect society without any blemishes. But anyone who knows anything about human nature knows that such a thing can never be successful. After more than 1,600 years of hard work, he finally realized that this is a world in which good and evil are balanced, and no matter how hard he tries, there is no way to change the reality.

Since then, Thiel has changed his strategy from a reformer to a protector. He taught his followers to spread order and law as much as possible, protect civilians from evil, and treat everyone as fairly and justly as possible, even if the target is barbarians and half-orcs from wild lands.

It is this shift that has changed the attitude of most rulers, from vigilance and hostility in the past to welcome now. After a long period of dissemination, the influence of the God of Justice has rapidly increased, and he has become one of the most powerful among the gods. His followers spread throughout Faerûn, and he is very popular among common people. As a believer in Tire, the first point is to abide by the law, no matter whether it is inclined to good or evil, unless it has become meaningless and meaningless, it is absolutely not allowed to violate it. They generally use political means to force the rulers to back down or change their positions, so as to achieve the purpose of changing the fairness of the law. Fundamentally speaking, this behavior did not touch the interests of most lords, but made the whole society much more stable.

However, Henry did not allow believers and temples of this god to preach in his territory. Because he is a very dictatorial ruler himself, and he doesn't like these nosy guys to share his power. Moreover, he has been educated on the earth, and he has a deep understanding that the essence of law is to mediate conflicts. Sometimes the more seemingly fair laws are, the more likely they are to cause more dissatisfaction.

As the saying goes. Jurisprudence is nothing more than human feelings. The meaning of this sentence is that the most important thing in the law is to let the majority of people agree and understand, if this cannot be done. No matter how fair it is, it will be considered tyranny. Obviously, Thiel did not understand this, and his followers even believed that any private affairs were morally depraved and must be strictly prohibited. This kind of Puritan-like country is not what Henry needs, so believers of the God of Justice are absolutely not allowed to have too much influence in their own territories. In his opinion, among the many countries in Faerun, only Amn and Waterdeep City have the most complete political systems, and the other countries are not too loose (for example, the city-states are united and the local power is too large). It is that the lower class civilians are squeezed too much, which seriously inhibits the development of productivity (referring to those countries that recognize the legality of slavery).

And both of these places adopted a rather vague law and regulation, which was neither inclined to good nor evil, and turned a blind eye to the issue of slaves and special entertainment places. Henry learned a lot of experience from these two places, combined with the ruling experience on the earth, and sorted out a political system that combines feudalism and capital.

He believes that as long as he can obtain an efficient and environmentally friendly energy source, such as the core of Mythra (which can extract endless raw magic energy from the magic net), or the magic crystal shard "Clinshinibon" (which can absorb The power of the sun, and transform it into its own energy), under its own rule, it can immediately complete a major development similar to the industrial revolution. As long as it takes a few years to digest, it will undoubtedly become a daunting and powerful country.

The debate on the issue of Celie Love's teaching ended as soon as it started, and Kaidong and Henry reached an agreement on this matter. With an absolute advantage of two to one, he defeated the lonely Hina. As for the paladin girl herself, she lowered her head and silently acquiesced in this decision, because she could feel that the purpose of these people was kindness.

A group of people started on the road again, and arrived at the headquarters of the blind eye without going too far. There is a symbol engraved on the ground and walls here, which looks like an always-open eye. Before they could open their mouths to ask, a man who looked very young but had a black cloth over his eyes walked out from the inside. He was obviously different from most blind men, neither walking nor sense of direction had any discomfort, just like those masters who opened their eyes in martial arts novels.

But as a legendary mage and druid. Henry can clearly feel that this guy has the power of a god in his body, and there is no doubt that he is a priest. And the level is not low, probably above level ten. It's unimaginable. How powerful a beholder can bestow such power.

"Be careful! This guy is Cal, the ostensible leader of the Blind Eye." Kaidong lowered his voice and reminded.

As soon as he finished speaking, the young man suddenly raised a hand and shouted: "Stop, you have stepped on the holy land! Only those who serve the blind eye can enter. I am Cal, the only high priest of the true God .”

"Praise the great blind eye, and you sacrifice to the lord. We are a group of pilgrims, hoping to listen to the teachings and join the ranks of glory." Henry bowed deeply while speaking. Being deeply influenced by thick and black studies, he opened his mouth to these flattering words without even thinking about them.

Obviously, such shameless words can be effective most of the time. For example, Cal now had a smile on his face, and nodded in satisfaction. "Very good, the true God wants his followers to gain more wisdom, so you must get rid of those things that restrict you. During the initiation ceremony, the profane eyes will be gouged out. As long as you can survive, the blind eyes will accept you as believers."

"Uh... I'm very sorry, Mr. Sacrifice. I have been very afraid of pain since I was a child. Is there any way to join without gouging out my eyes." Henry took out a large bag of gold coins from the dimension bag, which was more than two thousand Gave it to Cal and explained, "It's a little tribute to the true God, and hopefully it doesn't blame us for it."

Cal reached into the bag and touched it, and the expression on his face immediately changed from cloudy to sunny. He considered it for a few minutes and said: "Well...it is a cowardly act to refuse God's inspiration. Even so. Blind Eyes still decided to make an exception for the sake of piety. You must know that the true God has infinite power, but There are still some things that cannot be done by yourself. If you can successfully complete this task, I will let all of you become members of the church and meet the true God. How?"

"Of course, it is our honor to serve the true God." Henry bowed again while speaking. At the same time, I was thinking: shit is pious, it's not that the gold coins played a role at the critical moment. It seems that any group composed of intelligent life will inevitably become corrupted. This so-called blind eye cult has learned to accept bribes (bribes) before it becomes a reality.

Cal obviously couldn't pry into other people's thoughts, so he said to himself: "This holy land is a huge and ancient place... It is a very risky thing to go deep into the ground. Blind eyes know that there is a very valuable treasure there , your task is to bring it back.”…

"What exactly is the treasure you mentioned? How do we find it?" Kaidong finally couldn't help asking. When he spoke, he deliberately lowered his voice, pretending to be a hoarse voice.

"It's a scepter, or a part of it. You'll find it on a sacred altar. That's all I can say, and the rest is up to you." A key made of bronze was found. Judging from the pattern and rust on the surface, it must be an antique from a long time ago.

Henry put the key carefully into his pocket, and then promised: "Don't worry, we will bring the treasure back soon."

"I hope so, loyalist. I think this title suits you very well. When you get back the scepter, we can dedicate it to the blind eye together." After speaking, Cal walked inside without looking back. , leaving only two fully armed blind men guarding the door.

Everyone knows that this is not a good place to talk. Therefore, he quickly retreated without saying a word, and stopped until he could see the sewage. Seri Love, who has never been able to hide her words, immediately asked, "There must be a conspiracy here! Are we really going to do what he said?"

Henry smiled and replied: "No, of course not. I only intend to do half of it. That is to find the treasure, and let's forget about offering it to the blind eye."

He wouldn't be so stupid as to give an artifact to the beholder, but instead planned to steal it away. After all, the power of each artifact should not be underestimated. Although it is only used as a one-time consumable in the game, its function should be far more than that, otherwise it would be impossible to attract the eyes of the elders.

"What is your plan? Or what should we do if we really find a powerful magic item? You must know that if Cal can't see the treasure, he will never let us see the blind eye. How to eliminate it?" Kaidong thought more carefully and quickly asked a series of questions. He could see that Henry definitely had a complete plan. That's why I asked.

"Temporary secrecy. But don't worry, I swear that this blind eye and its mastermind will be completely destroyed." After speaking, Henry's eyes showed a cold light.

For this cult that swindles money, swindles lives, and swindles souls. His attitude has always been one of abhorrence, destroying one when he sees one. Do not ask the reason directly uprooted. Because they not only violated the natural balance in the druid concept, but also caused great hidden dangers. As long as they developed to a certain extent, they would inevitably launch a coup to overthrow the local regime.
