Chapter 229: The Mithril Five
The Mithril Five left the Bredrow Troupe's residence, and they went to the Bronze Crown Inn, where they sat around a round table in the lobby of the inn.
Bruno Warhammer yelled for the waiter and asked for a table of food and drink, and the Mithril team began a discussion while eating.
"Is Mr. Braderow insane? What exactly is he talking about? Sounds a lot like the teachings of a cult. ”
Katie Brill spoke first, and she had already noticed that Trist had become reticent and worried after hearing Bredrow's wild words.
"Little girl, don't talk too much, this kind of thing doesn't need to be cared about by women."
Bruno, the old dwarf, waved his hand at her, he could understand what Bredrow was saying and what effect it could have on Trist.
"But Daddy ......"
Katie Brill blamed her adoptive father for her words, and although she only understood a few words, she also knew what the artist meant by "revolution."
Regis the halfling spread his hands and said, "I don't understand what you're bothering about, Trist. That artist from a foreign land is likely to be a fanatic of the 'Gods and Gods', the 'Origin Believers', or the 'Revolutionary Alliance', and he wants to spread the heresy of the Exotic Land to the main material world, can't you see through it with your wisdom? ”
Wolfga did not participate in the discussion, he was busy "fighting" with a roast pork leg.
Trist sighed and said to Regis, "You haven't read that Red Book, and if you do, you'll know that Mr. Bredrow can't be a follower of those exotic sects." ”
"In that book, the greatest thing is not the gods, but the people! In the continent of Feren, the great people created everything, but the glory is all to the savior and the gods. If you think about it, if there were no gods, and there were no adventurers like us, would the Faren Continent collapse? ”
Trist asked Regis.
The halfling scratched his head, looking confused, he thought for a moment and said, "Without the gods and adventurers, the demon lord of the bottomless abyss, the shadow monsters of the negative energy realm will be happy." ”
Trist shook his head and said, "No, if mortals can unite to overthrow the gods, what are the demons and monsters?" As long as mortals are united, the power that comes together is the truly powerful power. Can you imagine the power of that belief? The demons of the bottomless abyss have lost their source of fallen souls, and the monsters of the negative energy realm will be greatly weakened without the nourishment of the lost spirits of the desperate. ”
"Trist, how can you have such an arrogant idea?"
The old dwarf Bruno frowned and said, "Mortals should be in awe......"
Trist hung his head and whispered, "In some cities, a group of humans exploiting the weaker of their own kind, living in luxurious palaces, while other men, women, and even children, die of hunger in the ditches beside the muddy streets, these are the facts we have seen on our travels. ”
The Mithril Four nodded in unison.
"Why don't the gods protect these weak people, can't they see it?" Trist went on to say, "Can we save these weakling? The gods didn't save them, and we can't save them, because in this world, there are too many weak people who are exploited and bullied like this, and our abilities are limited, and we as adventurers can exterminate a gang of bandits, but we can't overthrow a tyrant. ”
"And the gods ......," Trist sighed, "if that tyrant believes in Bane, it will be a protracted battle between the gods, and the good gods will never destroy the evil gods, and in this long process, only the people will suffer." ”
Everyone in the Mithril team stopped talking, and the atmosphere was a little dreary.
Trist continued, "In this dangerous world, where orcs and trolls are rampant, it seems that any guy who can fight on the side of the road will be revered and embraced by the heroes. I don't think the true meaning of a "hero" lies in its strength or talent for fighting. ”
"That Mr. Bredrow is at least right about what he said, if there is a man who can stand up and build a new country where everything is in the interests of the people, and sweep away the bandits and monsters in the country, so that young people can go to school and the sick and wounded can be treated, such a person can be called a 'hero.'"
Katie Brill bit her lip, and she asked a little timidly, "Trist, do you really believe that madman's words?" Will you join him in rebellion against the gods? ”
"Child, this is a man's business, don't intervene women!"
Her adoptive father, the old dwarf Bruno, interrupted her again.
Trist took a deep breath, and he looked affectionately at the beautiful girl with a slightly stronger figure with purple eyes.
"Sorry, Katie......"
The Dark Elf Ranger clenched his fists and said resolutely, "I don't want to be an enemy of the gods, and I won't even turn my back on Mericay's faith, but I know that in my lifetime, I will definitely return to the Dark Lands, and I must face everything I have escaped and feared again." ”
"I don't know if I can change my people."
Trist said as he recalled: "Actually, the nature of the dark elves is not inherently evil, at least one person, one man, my father, my mentor Zack...... He was my initiator, he made me understand the evil nature of the dark elves, but he also used his sacrifice to change my perception of my own race and origin. ”
"Among the dark elves, there are people like my father, and there are people like me." Trist pointed to himself and said, "That means the dark elves are not hopelessly degenerate. ”
"Capture the ...... of Morsoblay"
The old dwarf groaned, "That artist's request is not low, but it is not absolutely impossible compared to his overthrow of the gods and the liberation of Faerun. But just a few of us ......"
"The dimensional bag he showed me contained resources worth tens of millions of gold coins." Trist said: "A great artist who is famous in Feron, with a fortune of tens of millions of gold coins, should not just want to joke with me. ”
"Moradine's Hammer!" The old dwarf exclaimed: "Tens of millions of gold coins, even if that guy is a madman, he is also a rich madman!" ”
"Are artists so profitable?" Regis the halfling also stammered: "We should probably consider whether to change careers." ”
"I'd like to give it a try."
Trist looked at his friends with burning eyes: "But I don't want you to be involved, I'll return to the Dark Regions with Bredrow, and you stay on the surface and wait for me." ”
The Mithril team members shook their heads in unison.
"Don't want to leave me!" Katie Brill said angrily.
Bruno said with a straight face: "That's not good, I have to follow you, lest you be deceived by Bredero and not know it." ”
"Tens of millions of gold coins, you don't want to swallow it alone." Regis said with a grin.
"Brother, I will go wherever you go." Wolfgar threw down the half-gnawed pork leg and said with a smile.
