Chapter 98

The small ripples caused by the orc refugees were quickly calmed down.

A consul in charge of civil affairs in the Northwest Republic came forward and said that the Republic respects everyone's faith, but the premise is that it cannot infringe on the faith of others. If these refugees want to establish an altar, they must consult with the local church and obtain permission.

Of course, this is absolutely impossible. Unless a die-hard allies like Sui Xiong and the God of Justice, even if they are gods with good relationships, His priests will not allow other altars to appear in their own sphere of influence.

A good relationship is not OK! This is a matter of principle!

What's more, Sui Xiong and the orcs were at best acquaintances, but they couldn't even be called friends, and their relationship was generally very good.

In fact, the reason why the Northwest Republic can coexist peacefully in all kinds of faiths, the altars and temples of various gods can not interfere with each other, and the priests of various factions can be at peace is because of the official coordination of the Republic and the helm of the leader of the Void Mask Church. This time the Republic's official refused to help coordinate, and the Void Mask Church refused to mediate. How could various churches tolerate orcs reach out?

In this way, the orc refugees wanted to build an altar naturally became in vain.

Strictly speaking, they are not unable to build an altar for orcs and gods. As long as they build a pioneer village by themselves, it is not a problem to build any altar.

But... for some reason, those guys who had been shouting loudly before, once they mentioned the matter of "going out to build a pioneering village by themselves", they immediately pretended to be mute or talked about the left and right, but they refused to agree if they were alive.

Sui Xiong was invisible in the sky and watched all this, and was also secretly alert.

Those who encouraged to establish the altar of the Orc Gods had a strong light on their faith, and they were definitely not the kind that had lost the response of the Orc Gods. They ran to the Northwest Republic and encouraged the orc refugees who were excluded and discriminated against in the Orc Empire to establish the altar, and put the banner of "This will definitely please the gods and let the gods pay attention to us again", but what they were thinking in their bones is unknown!

"I really didn't expect that the first move was the Orc Empire." When talking about this with Easter privately, Sui Xiong said calmly, "I thought everyone had a good relationship, but it seemed that I thought things too well!"

"No, your Majesty, you are too worried." Easter said, "Most gods in the world will not care about everything like you, and the orc gods must be like that. I think the actions of the orc empire this time should be the actions of some senior officials. It is the plan of the orc emperor, and it will not be the instructions of the orc gods."

"Huh? Why are you so confident?" Sui Xiong asked curiously.

"Because once the gods take action, they will definitely not be so gentle or so relaxed. You don't know the temper of the orcs. They may design plans like this, but if the plan is frustrated, is it their style?"

Sui Xiong thought about it and it was indeed the case.

If there are really orcs and gods behind this operation, how could it be defeated so simply? With the orcs and gods' style of doing things, even if they can't kill their enemies, they will at least have to make big news.

For example, if you get a group of people to summon demons in the Northwest Republic... All the gods in the evil camp are very proficient.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly strengthened the surveillance of the orc refugees again.

As a result, he saw another good show.

It was an evening event. A "orc refugee" who had always encouraged these refugees to cause trouble once again came to the place where the refugees lived and persuaded them to try to establish an altar for the orc gods.

But this time, he hit a nail.

An older orc refugee said they did not intend to believe in orc gods anymore.

"What?!" The bearded pig man could hardly believe his ears, "What did you say?! Do you want to betray the great Majesty!"

"Faith is two-sided. Since He doesn't want us anymore, why do we hang ourselves on a tree?" The old but still Kong Wu powerful elephant man touched his broken left ivory. "I have fought twice for His Majesty. These half of the teeth were thrown away on the battlefield on the day the sun was extinguished. They were thrown there together, as well as my two brothers, one son, three nephews, and the eyes of my other son.

A sad look appeared on his face: "But, Your Majesty doesn't want me anymore."

"We are creatures, how can creatures negotiate terms with the Creator!" said the pig man angrily.

"Why can't it?" asked the old elephant indifferently, "In the past few days, people from the Religious Affairs Bureau of the Republic have often come here to tell us about religious knowledge, the distinction between man and God, the distinction between pious faith, the difference between madness and righteous faith... We were deeply touched by our ears. All of us have been abandoned by His Majesties. All the efforts of the past and the years of pious faith have been abandoned mercilessly. Please forgive us that we cannot persist in our faith in this situation, and we cannot continue to believe silently without seeing any hope."

He sighed deeply: "I am old and not far from death. I have done a lot of bad things over the years, invading and killing... At the beginning, I was thinking of 'everything for His Majesty' and didn't care about anything, but now I care. I don't want to go to hell. I'm afraid, I'm so scared!"

"So you betrayed Your Majesty?" The Pig Man's eyes became gloomy, "So do other people?"

"It's almost the same. Everyone has their own reasons, but in the final analysis, it's because our faith has not been responded to for a long time, which has discouraged us."

The pig man said nothing and turned around and left.

Unlike before, he walked very fast this time and disappeared in a while.

When he walked away, the elderly elephant sighed and returned to his residence - a wooden house that was a bit simple, but strong and warm enough.

Inside the room, a blind middle-aged elephant man was sitting in front of the table, groping for a woodcut book, trying to read.

"Dad, have you driven away the envoy?" he asked.

"Yes." The old elephant man sat directly on the floor and whispered, "I thought I would be scared, but when I really made up my mind, I realized that it was actually nothing."

"It's nothing." His blind son sighed, "We are nothing to His Majesty, and our faith is nothing. It's just that we took it too seriously in the past!"

"In the past few years, we orcs have simply lived for faith. Looking back now, it is a sad joke."

The father and son both spoke lightly and calmly, but they exuded a sadness that made people want to cry.

Losing status and honor, losing their hometown, losing their faith, now they really have nothing.

After a while, the old elephant stood up and said, "It's almost time to send supper, I'll get you one too. We can't live like this anymore. I'll find a job like transport tomorrow. I'm old, but I still have the strength!"

"I'm sorry, I've dragged you down!"

"Don't say that! I've been asking these days. It's quite easy to make money here. I'll work harder and I should be able to earn enough money to treat your eyes. When you've cured your eyes and found a wife, you'll get married again."

As he said that, the old elephant man pushed open the door and walked out without looking back.

Similar situations were performed more than one of these orc refugees. They finally decided to give up their belief in orc gods and took the first step in a new life with difficulty.

Sui Xiong was invisible in the air, staring at the scene and couldn't help laughing.
