Speaking of the evil god, Rudolf's tone was much lower. He thought of the Black Queen Jessica, the evil god parish in the southern continent, and Ivy and Director Mazu who were killed by Fraud.
The Fraud card was still in his pocket. It was a time bomb, but he could only continue to deceive Fraud. Fraud had already known some of his secrets. The later the bomb exploded, the better.
Rudolf continued to tell his two students:
"The evil gods rule the southern continent, but they are far worse to ordinary people than knights and alchemists. They drive ordinary people by faith, or in other words, by intimidation, and by the punishment of the evil gods if they do not believe in their evil gods.
'Anyone who does not believe in me will go to hell.' This sentence appears in the first few lines of every evil god cult's doctrine.
For the evil god cult, there are only two identities: believers and blasphemers. Anyone who does not believe in the evil god is a blasphemer who should be executed. .
The name of "heretic apostle" was originally used by the evil god priest to refer to other apostles. Later, the alchemist thought that this name could accurately define those damned and disobedient apostles, so he used it.
The South Continent is a place ruled by intimidation. In my opinion, it is full of despair. If you go to the South Continent in the future, you must be very careful.
I went around the South Continent and did not go deep. Safety is one aspect, but more importantly, I was afraid to see the believers lying on the ground deep in the Evil God Church. I There is no hope in them. They are like weeds bent by insects, providing insignificant nutrients and covered with sores.
All the benefits go to the evil gods and priests. The believers work hard all their lives, and the end of their lives is to donate all their wealth to the temple in exchange for the evil gods' blessings for their afterlife, but who knows if there is an afterlife?
Anyone who does not believe in me will go to hell. This is a lie that cannot be falsified or proven true. The evil gods easily harvest the believers' faith by intimidation.
The more faith the believers contribute, the more , the more powerful the priests of the evil god cult are, the more active the priests are in demanding, and the believers are living a harder life.
The believers are living a very hard life, and they need faith to numb themselves, forming a vicious cycle.
When believers pray to the evil god, they will hold some sacrificial rituals, such as Zach has a painful stone tablet. These rituals cannot bless the believers, but will instead drain the believers' power of faith.
The priests' sacrificial activities will also generate the power of faith. For example, on the sacrificial night in the Dordo District, thousands of ordinary people became servants of God, and the power of faith was so much that the pain injection Ignore this place.
These powers of faith are gathered on the evil god, allowing the evil god to achieve a twisted and flawed immortality.
I am also an apostle who has changed from an ordinary person. If I start from the perspective of an ordinary person, I am willing to cooperate with the knight because the knight can give the farmer a good living environment. I am willing to cooperate with the alchemist because the alchemist can allow the workers to survive in the city.
There is no right or wrong, no good or bad, but between very bad and worse, choose a less bad option.
However, the evil god priest They are the apostles that I cannot accept. Their existence is evil.
They have not brought positive changes to the world, and they are not even as good as knights. They only know how to take, intimidate, and punish.
Zach and Bathhouse owner Bass, when they are outside the evil god cult, can still maintain basic rationality. When they become priests of the evil god cult and start to govern believers, they will involuntarily become villains.
When Zack left, I hesitated. I knew that Zack would become a different person after he went to find the Church of Pain, but I still didn't I couldn't bear to deal with him at that time. I hope Zach can keep himself, which is difficult. I hope that next time we meet, he will still be the Zach who will do anything for his beggar companions. "
Rudolf's expression became depressed, and after a long time, he said:
"The era of knights has passed, the era of alchemists has flaws, and the era of evil gods must not come.
I think the meaning of wizards' existence is to correct these systems.
When there are too many apostles, each apostle occupies several times more resources than ordinary people, which will make the lives of ordinary people extremely difficult. At this time, scavengers are needed to clean up the excessive apostles.
When the apostles are too brutal, werewolves feed on ordinary people, vampires suck the blood of ordinary people, plague carriers create plagues to advance, and evil gods use bloody sacrifices to please evil gods. At this time, scavengers are needed to clean up those brutal apostles.
And wizards seem to be born to do this. The need for wizards to hunt relics is simply the perfect scavenger of these systems. I think this is the meaning of wizards.
We are like white blood cells in this huge ecosystem, cleaning up those diseased and harmful apostles.
If you start from this perspective, you will not be confused, and you will not fall into a mental breakdown because of hunting too many relics or causing too much killing.
Every wizard is a born scavenger and should be a scavenger. "
Aruman opened his eyes wide. He was shocked by his teacher's words. It turned out that wizards were not street rats hiding from XZ. Wizards may have a certain mission, which makes wizards so special among many apostles.
No wonder the teacher wiped out the tribe of the Red Wolf King and replaced it with the gentle White Wolf King. No wonder the teacher completely razed the Evil Temple and left no priests. No wonder the teacher had to clean up the apostles in the Dordo District. The Dordo District is so fragile. Only by doing a deep cleanup of the Dordo District can the lives of ordinary people be less bad.
Rudolph continued:
"All three of us were transformed from ordinary people into apostles by mistake in a disaster.
I became a wizard in the witch hunt against Bloody Salem. That was a bad memory. I almost died in Bloody Salem's hands.
You two had your blood samples taken away by the vampires on the night of the sacrifice. If I hadn't helped you become wizards, you would have become blood servants now.
Emotionally, you two should still sympathize with ordinary people now. I hope you will always maintain this sympathy.
Other apostles regard wizards as poisonous scorpions, but on this street, turn around and see how many people are hiding behind the curtains, looking at the apostles as if they were seeing poisonous scorpions.
We cannot bring new production relations to the continent, but we can make this world belonging to the apostles not so bad.
Scavenger, this is my understanding of the witches. The definition of the master is also the purpose of our future actions.
Our own promotion is very important. If we can, we should take the initiative to clean up those evil apostles. This will benefit both ourselves and ordinary people.
Wizards are arsenic to apostles, but honey to ordinary people. "
Rudolf then fell into deep thought:
"Libra wizards have the Black Gold Institute, Pisces wizards have the Ancient Sea Wizard Association, what name do you think we should give ourselves?
There is no need to worry about the category of wizards. As long as they share the same philosophy as us, any wizard can be.
Scavenger Wizard Association? A bit ordinary.
Arsenic Wizard Alliance? Not very nice.
Honey Wizard Group? ···"
Aruman felt that the teacher's naming ability was really bad. Obviously, the concept of the apostle scavenger is very high, so how could such an ugly name appear?
Blanca added: "The Honey Wizard Group is good. Honey is sweet and can dispel some of the negative images of wizards."
"Oh? Do you also think the Honey Wizard Group is better?" Rudolf was very happy that Blanca approved of his idea.
"Wait!" Aruman hurriedly stopped the two people's dangerous discussion. If he continued, he might really get an ugly organization name:
"Teacher, let's call it the Scavengers. Don't add anything. We will all be Scavengers in the future."
After thinking about it, Rudolf felt that it was not suitable to name it tonight. He had no inspiration, so he made a decision:
"Then call yourself the Scavengers, the Scavenger Wizards. This will be our code of conduct in the future.
Aruman, Blanca, after you become level 3 wizards with good self-protection ability, you can also recruit wizard apprentices to pass on our ideas and let this apostle world have more scavengers!"
