Chapter 226 Nothing Is Impossible
"impossible……"
Drizzt shook his head: "It is impossible for mortals to resist the gods. No matter how many mortals unite, they cannot stop the power of the gods."
He said seriously: "When Talos sets off a hurricane, even if a mortal is in the strongest ship, he can only hug the mast and tremble, praying that the wrath of the Storm Lord can be calmed down as soon as possible."
There was a hint of fear in the dark elf ranger's tone, which was an emotion he rarely showed: "There are fifty or sixty human gods with followers in Faerûn. Counting the foreign gods, there are hundreds of them." Gods, almost every god has the power of heaven and earth like Talos. If the world is jointly governed by these gods, even if it is a huge cage, we in the cage can only sigh in vain. This is our destiny……"
"Indeed, gods have always seemed to be unprecedentedly powerful."
"But in reality? Gods may be immortal, but gods also have huge weaknesses. If this weakness is exposed, no matter how powerful the gods are, they are just paper tigers."
Drizzt's purple eyes widened, waiting for Bradero's explanation.
"The evidence is in the city of Askatra. Walking along the sewers of the temple area towards the blind sect's camp, there is a secret passage that can lead to the kingdom of an unknown god."
Luo Feng said word for word: "The reason why it is said to be an unknown god is because he has been forgotten by the world, and even his petitioners have forgotten his real name. Although he has been forgotten, he is still immortal. , a saint who cannot be harmed by mortals. But this saint’s only appeal now is to find an adventurer to end his eternal life. This eternal life has become a curse, a curse of never-ending pain.”
Drizzt listened to this secret in disbelief, and then he realized that the gods could actually sink to this point, and immortality and immortality became a painful curse.
He also didn't expect that gods would be so close to humans. The kingdom of gods was also hidden in the sewers of Askatra City.
Since the evidence that Bradero said was in the city, Drizzt decided to go and investigate. He temporarily believed Bradero's words. There was no point in telling such a lie that could be easily exposed.
"What do gods fear most?"
Luo Feng asked back, and before Drizzt could answer, he gave the answer first: "Forgotten! The forgotten gods will lose all their power. After a lot of time, the final ending will be like the saint in the sewer. Otherwise, immortality and eternal life have become the source of endless pain!"
"You are talking about an ancient god, and the gods who control the countless followers of Faerun today will not be forgotten!"
Drizzt seized on the loophole in Bradero's words and retorted: "As long as there is justice, people will remember Tyr, as long as there is love and goodness, people will remember Sune, as long as there are mages casting spells, Honey Sila will always be in my heart..."
Luo Feng smiled, shook his head and said: "Can Tyr represent justice? Suni is kind? Mythra is just a magic goddess who has just ascended to the throne. Her predecessor Mystra's bones are not completely rotten yet. Wouldn't she have been killed long ago? Have people forgotten?”
"Drizzt, you have fallen into a misunderstanding. It is not only Tyr that can bring justice, Sune that can be good, and Lathander that can bring dawn."
Bradlow said sharply: "The gods only rely on the propaganda of priests and elects to let believers associate them with these philosophical concepts, believing that justice is given by Tyr, goodness is given by Sune, and magic comes from Mythra. "
"If Baal, the God of Slaughter, dies, does killing cease to exist?"
He asked Drizzt: "Before Cyric, the Prince of Lies, was born, were there no lies in the world? The goddess of magic has changed three times. Which goddess of magic can be regarded as the true spokesperson of magic? Who is the concept of 'magic' itself? Created by the goddess of magic?”
"The gods have taken control of the priesthood and have become the spokesperson of those concepts, making mortals believe that those concepts are attributed to gods. This is the biggest lie in Faerûn. If they are cut off from these concepts, mortals will not believe that those concepts are given by gods. You represent justice, will Tier still be as glorious and powerful as it is now?"
Drizzt lowered his head, thinking and analyzing Bradero's words.
This may make sense logically, but how can it be implemented? How could people not believe that Tyr represented justice, Sune represented goodness, and Lathander represented the dawn?
Go to the temple area and yell and preach like a priest from the Church of the Blind Eye? It will only become the public enemy of the gods, and will be punished by all the believers of the gods for the crime of blasphemy, and its destruction will only happen overnight.
"Bredro, what you said may have some truth, but it can't be realized at all. It's just empty talk."
