Chapter 275: The Salvation of the Gods (Part I)
Now, people are left with sluggishness.
They could not answer the question of the goddess, although it was not a difficult question, they only had to ask themselves, and the answer was already in their hearts.
However, they could not blurt out that answer.
They open their mouths, but they want to speak, and the answer is in their hearts, but they are speechless.
It's not a difficult question, but they can't answer it, they can't answer it, they can't say the answer in their hearts, even if it's just breathing out with their throats, like they usually speak, but they can't do it......
It was as if something heavy was pressing on their hearts, and something was blocking their throats, so they couldn't say a word.
They gasped for breath and looked embarrassed.
A child looked left and right, and found that not only other people, but even his own father did not say a word, his eyes rolled around, snickered, and shouted loudly in his own immature voice: "Not satisfied!"
Everyone around was startled by the child's screams, even the child's father.
After he was taken aback, he couldn't help but hit his son and shouted, "What are you calling nonsense?!"
"Uh......h Wow!"
The child was slapped by his father and cried, and after hearing the crying, the child's father became even more irritable, and couldn't help but slap two more times, and this time, the child's crying stopped.
When the child's father raised his head and was about to apologize to the people around him, he was startled by their expressions.
Everyone around him looked at himself and his son with blank eyes, looking like a group of undead, which made the child's father shrink his neck and subconsciously protect the child behind him - although he had never seen what the real undead looked like, he had heard those adventurers mention it.
"You guys, what do you want to do?" the child's father swallowed, but hid the child behind him to prevent him from exposing his head.
"Ha ......"
Suddenly, a young man with a few claw marks on his face covered his face and laughed: "Hahahahaha...... Hahaha...... Ha ......"
Laughing and laughing, he cried again, tears leaking from his fingers and sliding down his cheeks, looking like a madman.
The child's father hugged the child with his backhand, and the child also grabbed his father's trouser leg and buried his face behind his father's waist, not daring to look at the young man who looked like a madman.
"Not satisfied...... I'm not satisfied......"
The young man choked up and muttered to himself.
He suddenly raised his head, looked up to the sky and shouted, "I'm not satisfied! Why should I be satisfied?!
The child's father was momentarily stunned, and he looked at the young man's neck with bruised tendons, and he seemed to be furious.
"Me ...... too"
"Why should I settle for the status quo?"
"I'm not satisfied with ...... either"
The child's father looked around in a daze, only to find that everyone around him had begun to wave their arms and shout angrily: "Not satisfied—I am not satisfied!
This shout caused waves in the sea of people, and the young man with a few claw marks on his face was like the first domino to be knocked down, and with him as the center, many people, those infected by the words of the goddess of wealth, began to shout like crazy.
'Religious madman', people who didn't feel much after hearing the words of the goddess of wealth looked at those who were screaming like crazy, and suddenly a word appeared in their hearts - 'religious madman'!
These people look like they're crazy!
But no one stepped forward to stop it, and even a few of the policemen who were maintaining order shouted loudly.
"What are your wishes? Tell me—"
At this moment, the goddess of wealth burst into tears, and she shouted to the people: "No matter how ridiculous and impossible it is, say your dreams and shout them! Ambition and desire are not something to be seen, that will make you have an enterprising spirit, that will give you perseverance and courage!"
"Don't give up pursuing your dreams because of other people's jokes, why can others get their wishes and you can't? Why? Ask yourself, why?!"
"Is it because of talent? Is it because of origin?" or because of blood?"
"Do you know that in this territory, in this land where you stand, the knights here will train hard every day, and if you want to become a formal knight, you must have 'extraordinary' strength, but how many knights there are in this territory, do you know? One hundred and sixty-eight!"
"Swinging the sword hundreds of times a day is just the daily homework of knight squires and apprentices, in addition to this, they also have to carry out a series of hard training such as riding archery, swordsmanship, reading and writing, and physical exercise, even if they are from wealthy families, but their efforts are really less than yours?!"
"This world is unfair, they have a background, talent, blood, they have everything, but they still work so hard, and you have nothing, but it is not enough for others to work hard, how can you be successful?!"
The adventurers and mercenaries widened their eyes as they looked at the knights and their squires who stood on guard in the crowd, they had never known that these knights were so powerful!
"The fact that you are standing here means that you still have a chance to succeed and the strength to complain, but what about those who are poorer? Maybe some of you dream of becoming a 'legendary powerhouse', and some of you dream of becoming a wealthy businessman, but those who are really at the bottom of society, their dream is to be able to eat enough every day and have a place to live, and under the threat of survival, they can only do that!"
"You still have the time and energy to complain to me here, 'You are not satisfied with the status quo,' so why don't you try to change? When you are greedy for pleasure every day, those who are stronger than you are working hard, and when you are dreaming every day about what you will want to do when you get rich in the future, those who are richer than you are studying! Only fantasy and slogans cannot achieve anything, because the world is inherently unfair, and people who want to change their destiny If you don't work hard, will gold fall from the sky? Will artifacts fall from the sky? Even if they do, do you have the ability to possess those things?!"
"Hard work may not lead to success, but if you don't work hard, you won't even see a chance to succeed!"
The goddess of wealth stood on the head of the dragon with her hands outstretched, as if to embrace the sky in her arms.
She shouted in the wind: "In this world, no one likes to hear the truth, because the truth is so cruel that it is distressing, even if they have seen the real side, even if they have understood the cruelty of this world, they still like to pretend to turn a blind eye, and others don't say it, as if they didn't see it." However, this is just an escape, objective things are not subject to subjective will, even us, the gods, cannot make everything that has happened disappear!"
"We can't let this kind of thing happen, there is no food without work, this is a fact, you can't succeed without hard work, this is also a fact!"
"I'm going to tell the truth, I'm going to tell the truth, even if my followers will turn their backs on me, even if many people will hate me, even if I'll become the most notorious god - you, don't just chirp here and say something 'I'm not satisfied', these are just empty words, only practice, only action, can make your status quo change!"
At the moment when these words were spoken, the Goddess of Fortune could feel that the 'faith' of many believers in her had been shattered, because she had opened the sore spots in the hearts of all people!
Tears continued to slide down her cheeks, and Latinia managed to force a smile, but tears kept pouring out of her eyes.
"Don't cry!"
The maid standing beside her pursed her lips and said sternly, "Listen quietly!"
"I ...... Will try to ......"
Latinea's expression froze for a moment, her voice swaying in the wind, not clear, but she heard it anyway.
She stared blankly at the maid.
She knew that the voices of those people would never reach here.
"It's not a 'surprise', it's just that we anticipated that something like this might happen, so we made some preparations in advance. "The maid is an understatement, but the goddess of wealth knows that the truth is definitely not as simple as it sounds.
"Don't worry about it so much, listen quietly!" the corners of the maid's mouth raised slightly, "Humans are not as 'fragile' as you think!"
