Chapter 261: True and False

Winter 1373.

Am, the city of Askatra.

The city is very different from a year ago, and the title of the capital of gold coins, the pearl of Faerun, has become a thing of the past in such a short time.

The current city of Ascatla is known as the city of falls, the source of turmoil.

In the middle of the night, a ragged beggar dodged the patrolling Am's guards and crept into the sewers, wading through the river of sewage to a secret door.

The beggar knocked on the door disguised as a stone wall, knocked on the door, and a voice came from inside, asking, "The storm is coming!" ”

The beggar replied, "Let the storm come more violently!" ”

The secret door opened, and the beggar looked left and right, made sure that there was no secret agent following, and walked quickly into the secret room.

This secret room was already full of people, all kinds of people.

There were merchants, dock workers, seamen, farmers, and even a noblewoman in fine clothes!

"It's great, it's amazing to be able to break through the blockade of the holy warriors!"

"You're not being targeted by the temple agents, are you?"

"Good work, old Fred, you are so brave!"

……

The crowd greeted the beggar as if they were a hero, and the old beggar smiled awkwardly and pulled a package from his bosom.

He carefully unwrapped the package, containing a few Shadow Discs.

The old beggar explains: "It has just been brought in from 'below', and it is the latest work of the troupe, this time accompanied by a video of Mr. Bredero's lecture on 'On the Origin of Human Inequality' and 'The Social Contract'. ”

The beggar, who was beaten by the paladin during the performance of "The Temple of Losanda", is now the transporter of the Amsdemonic disc and risked his life to evade the tight lockdown of the town guards and the Faith Censors in the temple district whenever a new disc is released, and transport the disc to the private Shadow Theater.

Among the crowd waiting for him, a handsome young man Huo Ran got up and said excitedly: "It's great that there is a video of Mr. Bredero's latest lecture!" ”

A beautiful aristocratic girl beside him was the aristocratic girl Lisy who he met when he watched "Titanic" before. Since that Midsummer Festival, they have been in love.

"Jack, you're the smartest, and when you've read it in a moment, you'll tell us what Mr. Braderow is talking about. I just think he's right, but I don't understand why. ”

"Yes, what Bredrow is telling is more realistic than any of the gods, rather than the kind of ethereal coaxing."

"Okay!" Jack said excitedly: "Bredlow tells us that all human beings should be created equal, that they should be born with human rights!" Power and power cannot take away the dignity and freedom that should belong to each and every one of us, and that is at the heart of all his speeches and lectures! ”

Am's six-member council system is also a thing of the past.

The Knights of Dawn at the Temple of Losanda, the Knights of the Silver Grail at the Temple of Heim, the Knights of Justice at the Temple of Thor, the Knights of Sacrifice at Tom, the Knights of the Highest Heart of the Warmest from Amm, and the Mystical Fire Knights of Mystra set out from all over Faeron and gathered at Amm, easily defeating the regular army of Amm and taking over the merchant kingdom.

Of the members of the six-member council, only the representatives of the masked mages and the great nobles, as well as the representatives of the temple district, retained their seats, and the rest of the representatives were either arrested or fled and scattered.

After the overthrow of Am's regime by the Knights of the Gods, the city began to be strictly controlled by thought, and all traces left by Bredrow in this city must be erased!

His artwork was confiscated and burned, his company was shut down, his employees were arrested, and his stage play Shadow was treated as contraband like the Book of Hirari, and if anyone was found to have secretly screened and watched it, he would be severely punished.

On the continent of Feeron, Bredrow's name has become synonymous with the Demon Lord, his incendiary Shadow Disc has been accused by the gods of being the source of evil, his bounty avatar hangs on the bulletin boards of city halls and royal palaces in various countries, and every day propagandists loudly publicize his crimes to the public, whether they are real or fabricated.

Bredrow imprisons Monroe, the actress of the Sadistic Playing Troupe!

Bredrow frames the League of Harpists of Justice!

Bredrow kills like hemp!

Bredrow fakes artifacts to scam money!

Bredrow and the Shadow Thief are in cahoots!

Bredrow is gay!

Bredrow is the culprit in the bombing!

Bredrow had kidnapped a little girl's family in order to defile her, and when he threatened her, he used to burn her at the stake!

……

It seems that overnight, the great artist of great fame became the notorious Great Demon.

People in other countries may have believed the official propaganda, but the citizens of Ascaltra did not, and many of them had met with Bredero, shook hands, talked, and even kissed him.

They know that the Shadow Disc arranged by Bredrow is not a lie and slander, but a real person and a real thing that happened to them!

If it is wrong to praise mortals, and to emphasize that mortals should be respected and free is wrong, does it mean that mortals are a bunch of lowly beasts in the eyes of the gods, that mortals are inherently destined to be domesticated, and that kneeling before the gods and praying for alms is the only thing they should do in their miserable lives?

The Secret Society watched the disc with a pocket box of light and shadow, and the repertoire of this disc is "Uncle Jerry's Cabin", which tells the tragic life of a serf who believes in Los Angeles, whose pious faith and industrious character did not bring any changes to his life, and finally died tragically under the oppression of the lord, and his faith could only allow him to comfort himself before he died, and after offering the last bit of faith, poor old Jerry died.

At the end of the disc, there is a subtitle

"This story is the epitome of the farmer of Pheun, based on real events. In the territory of Baldur's Gate under the rule of Grand Duke Flamefist, there was a plague of digging insects in the village, and the lord's mansion of Baldur's Gate, which had a large number of mercenaries and adventurers, turned a blind eye to it, allowing the digging insects to destroy crops and farmland, spitting venom and killing farmers.

The Grand Duke's tax collectors were concerned only with the payment of the land rent, and even though Chanem had later eliminated the nest of the diggers, the bankrupt farmer had lost his family because of the poor harvest that year, his wife and daughter had been sold to pay the rent, and he himself had hanged himself in his hut. ”

Jack finished watching the play and said seriously: "Contrary to the propaganda and smear of the church, Bredrow's play is not a lie, but the truth!" The truth is often the most hurtful and the most fearful for liars! ”
