Ride and Cut

"Excuse me, what do you think of the gods?" Vera stared at Li Cha with burning eyes.

"To be honest, I don't believe that there are gods in this world at all." The lord tapped his fingertips on the table, his tone unconsciously filled with disdain, "If I can't find even one person who has seen gods or miracles, I really don't know why I need to admit it."

Before today, if he dared to preach atheism, no country would tolerate him, and the rest of his life would be spent in the endless pursuit of the Inquisition until the blasphemy was washed away with life and blood.

But now that we are in the new world, and the sky is high and the Pope is far away, it doesn't matter. Although there is a nun from the Church of the Holy Light in front of him, but if they really want to fight, one side is strong and the other side is weak, who will refer and who will be as obvious as a lice on the head of a bald man.

But the facts once again proved that it is undoubtedly very stupid to speculate on people with a pre-set position, because Vera's response was far beyond what Richard had previously expected.

"Yes, you are right. God has never come to this world, never. So even as a praying nun, sometimes I inevitably have a terrible thought in my heart-does the God of Light really exist? Are there really gods looking down on the earth in the hard-to-find sky? Are there really angels who accept souls?"

"Hey." The lord really didn't expect that he would run into a rebellious nun, but he nodded in approval, "It's a good thing that you have such doubts."

"I completely believe in the Holy Light God." Bernard took out the Holy Light Cross from his collar and stuck it on his forehead. "But I can understand your doubts. After all, it is easier for people to believe what they see with their own eyes. But I still have to say that this kind of thinking is a bit too superficial."

"But you have to admit that the existence of God has always been very ethereal, right?"

"That's for sure." Li Cha wondered if the gods hadn't been showing their faces, there would be no need to fight so many religious wars among the three great powers. The two main gods will fight directly in the lower realm, and whoever wins will preach.

Berna remained silent for a while, but he still couldn't refute after all, so he nodded reluctantly.

"But Tiger Spirit thinks that 'God's Approval' is a condition for opening the passage to the other side. For them, the existence of God seems not to be ethereal, but rather very concrete." Vera became more and more excited as she spoke, and took a deep breath to try to calm herself down, but unfortunately it had little effect.

"Perhaps in this new world, the gods have indeed shown signs, not just legends! It is precisely because the tiger spirits have seen and even contacted the gods that they are so sure!"

"Oh, so that's why." Bored, the lord stretched out his little finger and licked his ears.

"Maybe here, we can find traces of the existence of the Holy Light God!"

After listening to Li Cha, he couldn't help laughing.

Vera questioned the existence of God before, and he was quite relieved, feeling that he is not alone in his way. I never thought about questioning, and never gave up at all. Instead, I tried to find God. I don't know if I should say it is pious or a fool.

"Wake up, even if there is a god, it may not be your God of Holy Light. If you find the Goddess of Ice and Snow in the end, it will be a lot of fun, and you will be a sinner of the Church of Holy Light through the ages." The lord said.

"But there is only one true god!" Vera did not back down.

"Come on, claiming to be a god is not necessarily a true god." Li Cha sneered disdainfully.

"Your arrogance will kill you one day."

Vera shook her head, leaving a look of infinite regret before leaving, probably the lost lamb of the Lord of the Alpine Castle, in her opinion, is particularly hopeless.

But Berner hesitated for a while, then suddenly yawned exaggeratedly, got up and went back to the room while muttering.

So Li Cha was the only one left in the yard, watching the moon face each other and forming three people. He bought a barrel of ale and drank it for two rounds by himself. He vaguely remembered what he was going to do when he came down just now, but he couldn't remember it at all.

"What was I going to do just now?" The lord scratched his scalp, hoping that the moon would give him an answer.

"bath."

The dragon crystal was kept in Li Cha's pocket all the time, and a translucent blue dragon soul floated out slowly.

"Forget it, don't wash it." Li Cha

"My lord baron," Thutmose greedily rolled and swam in the moonlight, enjoying the comfortable shade, "I wonder if you have noticed that the so-called tiger spirit seems to be a kind of beast spirit."

"Nonsense, I'm not a fool, of course I've already seen it." Li Cha rolled his eyes, "Just say what you want to say, don't leave half of it to waste!"

"My lord, I'm wondering if there is such a possibility - after the collapse of the elf empire, the beast elves and pure-blood elves fled to this world through the space rift to continue to multiply, and the god the beast elves talk about is probably the upper elf royal family." Thutmose said cautiously.

"Sounds interesting, why do you say that?" Li Cha held his chin with great interest.

"Beast elves are clearly gifted in elements, but they don't know magic. It's probably the result of the high-level elves deliberately blocking knowledge. In this way, those high-level elf mages with outstanding strength are no different from gods to ordinary people. If you add generations of uninterrupted enslavement education, it is not uncommon for them to be worshiped by the beast elves as gods. After all, they don't look too smart."

"Impossible." The lord categorically vetoed it. Seeing that Thutmose didn't seem to understand, he said patiently: "Have you noticed that they have the custom of cutting off their ears? Based on this alone, I dare say that the god in the mouth of the beast elves can never be a high elf."

"Just imagine, if they regard the high-ranking elves as gods, how could they dislike their own ears that are exactly the same as those of elves? This is not logical at all. It's not like you haven't seen the conditions of the Tiger Spirit tribe. It's very simple. Cutting off ears is no joke, and wound infection may cause death."

Seeing Thutmose nodded stupidly, as if he didn't understand.

The lord rolled his eyes, and finally endured his impatience and explained a few more words: "Nine times out of ten, the beast elves broke with the pure-blood elves, so they set up a separate stove called the spirit of the beast."

"Why... why?" Thutmose suddenly discovered that this muscular little country lord was not as easy to fool as he imagined.

"You just remember one sentence—" Li Cha picked up the wine barrel with one hand, raised his head and took a deep breath, wiped his mouth and said: "No matter how close a group is before, once there is a factual split, they will definitely try their best to maintain independence in all aspects. This is the commonality of all intelligent life."

Thutmose nodded ignorantly, but was actually at a loss.

"They call themselves wild spirits, and they cut off their sharp ears, obviously trying to get rid of the mother race of elves. We know that tiger spirits are not beast spirits, and they themselves know it in all likelihood, but they know it, so they still call it that."

Thutmose's small eyes rolled around in their sockets, and he didn't know what to think.
