Demon King, Don’t Run Away Chapter 569: Generous Gao Fang
On the border between the Luoze Empire and the Wansheng Kingdom, on a certain high mountain, a boy of twelve or thirteen years old followed his parents along the rugged mountain road.
They were victims of the war between the Luoze Empire and the Wansheng Kingdom. Their hometown was destroyed due to the counterattack of the Wansheng Kingdom, and eventually became a stronghold for bandits.
Moving as a family is the only hope for survival.
Generally speaking, moving to a big city deeper in the Luoze Empire is the best choice. Unfortunately, due to the rugged terrain of the Luoze Empire, they don't know if they can survive the move to a big city.
Besides, if you want to settle in a big city, you need a lot of money. As civilians, their belongings have long been scattered during the evacuation. Even if they arrive in a big city, what awaits them will be eaten. A life of desolation without a meal.
After much thought, the man of the family chose to go to a border town in the mountains.
I heard that there are countless refugees gathering there, and there is also a great benevolent person with an incomparable Bodhisattva heart who can ensure that everyone has enough to eat and drink without any fear of life.
After wandering for a while, the young man and his family finally arrived at the town called Dafang City located high in the mountains.
As we walked into the town, countless residents stood on the streets, seemingly waiting for something.
The young man didn't care what they were waiting for, he only cared about whether they could have a full meal. His father once said to him that as long as they could come here, they would be able to have a full meal.
Therefore, the boy endured hunger on the way and helped his father push the cart, hoping to reach this town as soon as possible.
As long as he can eat every meal, he and his family will have the confidence to survive the coming harsh winter.
Suddenly, the young man saw pedestrians on the street kneeling on the ground piously one after another.
The young man did not understand this behavior. He wanted to ask his father what was going on, but his father was also confused and hesitated whether to kneel down piously like the people around him.
At this moment, a man hurried to a family of three and told them not to occupy the main road, as the time for the gift was coming soon.
After saying that, the man led them into the alley and asked them to put down their things. Then, he led the family of three to kneel on the ground piously.
After a while, the sound of horse hooves was heard on the avenue, and a majestic middle-aged man drove slowly down the street in a magnificent golden carriage.
He has a pair of thick eyebrows, wearing huge golden earrings, his red underwear is decorated with various gorgeous treasures, and his white cloak flutters gently in the wind, flashing a little bit under the sun. , one can tell at a glance that it is worth a lot of money.
The man opened his hands, and the fingers covered with various gems emitted an extremely strange light under the sun. He grinned widely, and the gold teeth on his innocent face did not feel any violation. People have the illusion of a nouveau riche.
Two huge magic circles appeared in the sky above his hands, and pieces of white cloth wrapped in them fell from the sky into the hands of people on the street.
The young man also received the wrapped piece of white cloth. His first feeling was warmth, and then the rich aroma hit his face. When he opened it, he saw that the cloth was wrapped in a piece of steaming pancake.
The young man couldn't control his hands, raised the pancake, and ate it in big mouthfuls. The delicious gravy flowed out freely. He had never eaten such delicious food before, and the corners of his eyes were actually a little wet.
While eating, the boy bit into something hard and almost lost his teeth. When he let go, he saw that it was a three centimeter long gold brick.
The person who helped the young man smiled and said that he was lucky. He could keep the gold brick or use it to directly join the club. That was an opportunity that many people dreamed of.
The young man didn't know what the man meant. At this moment, he saw other villagers who had finished eating, walking towards the center of the town one after another. Following the crowd, he also walked into the center of the city.
I saw the man who had just distributed food to them, laughing and giving an impassioned speech:
"Each of us should live equally in the world. The goddess has divided us into three, six or nine levels. The reason why you have ended up here is all the fault of the goddess. Why should you believe in the goddess! ”
When the young man heard what the middle-aged man said, he was dumbfounded. Their whole family was a believer in the goddess sect, especially his mother. His mother prayed to the goddess every day, hoping that their family would be safe.
Not just them, most of the people in this world should be firm believers of the Goddess Cult. Here, if he says such treacherous words, even if he gives himself food, he is still a heretic...
Just as the young man was thinking this, there were voices of agreement one after another around him.
"Lord Gao Fang is right! I obviously believe in the goddess so much, but I still lost my husband and children in the war!"
"The goddess has no role at all and does nothing. My property, everything I own is just gone! I support Lord Gao Fang!"
"The Goddess Cult has been a lie from the beginning. They used sweet words to trick us. Goddess does not exist in the world!"
The young man had no idea that the people here were so resistant to the goddess.
On the stage, the sighing voice of Gao Fang, one of the seven disciples of the Curse Sect, continued,
“What we should believe in is not the goddess who does whatever we want, but something that can truly respond to us. The goddess will only make us lose.
Since we will lose everything before and after, it is better to give the things we will lose to the devil and let the devil realize our wishes for us! ”
Off the court, there were echoes one after another.
"That's right! We would rather believe in the devil than in the goddess. The so-called goddess is just a bastard! When she sees a handsome guy, she has no moral integrity and opens her eyes!"
"Why didn't the goddess help me? I'm obviously better than my brother. If my brother hadn't been favored by the goddess, I wouldn't have fallen to this point!"
The young man fell into a deep shock and loudly slandered the goddess. What kind of sin was it? In the past, his mother would talk to him for a long time even if he complained to the goddess, but everyone here questioned and condemned the goddess. They The sound was deafening, as if everything was so natural.
The young man looked at his father and mother with some worry, only to find that his mother had joined the shouting team at some point.
My mother, who believed in the goddess more than anyone else, screamed harder than anyone else at this moment.
This city seems to have a special magic that draws everyone into it.
The young man held the gold brick in his hand tightly, but did not feel it was heavy. He slowly opened his mouth and shouted loudly, venting his pent-up emotions loudly along with the crowd.
"If there really is a goddess in the whole world, let's bring down the so-called divine punishment for myself here!
Otherwise, let me lose my so-called faith! ”
The young man thought so.
