Chapter 178 Donation


Chapter 178 Donation

Ilmet, the God of Weeping, the Lord of Brokenness, and the Lord of Endurance.

He is the God of suffering, martyrdom and perseverance. He is famous for his empathy and perseverance. He gives words of salvation and comfort to those who are in deep pain, suffering or in urgent need of help.

He is a voluntary sacrificer, a god who voluntarily bears burdens on behalf of others. He is also the god of the oppressed and those who suffer injustice, and is one of the legendary Three Saints of Justice.

Ska knows something about this god, and there is a reason why Ska knows this. Although he has never said it clearly, he is actually a person of faith.

The god he believes in is Thom, the god of responsibility and loyalty, who together with Tyr, the god of justice and imperfection, and Ilmet, the god of suffering and perseverance, are collectively known as the Three Holy Saints of Justice.

(Thom is also the patron saint of paladins, but due to Ska’s personal experience, although he believes in Thom, as a Hell Knight, his power does not come from this god, so he cannot be called He is Tom's paladin. )

At the same time, because of this relationship, he actually knows a lot about this god.

It is said that if he could, the God of Weeping would carry all the pain in the world on his shoulders to free others from the sea of ​​suffering.

But He cannot do it, even if He is a god, He cannot do this, so He blesses those who are willing to endure the actions of others. It is said that martyrs who die because of others will always obtain Ilme special blessings, enjoy final peace, and be rewarded by God after death because they did so.

Scar walked towards the temple. He had visited the Temple of Mercy in Livington before, and learned from the followers of Ilmet that the God of Suffering had another sermon location in the lower city. Presumably they were talking about the temple in front of them.

Those believers also said that their bishop, Father Logan, took some believers to the lower city to buy supplies in order to welcome the incoming refugees. However, according to Scar's understanding, believers of the God of Passion often do not Will hold too many possessions.

The priests of Ilmet walk among diseases, famines, and injuries. His followers often give back what they receive. As long as there are people in need around them, then they Any material in hand will not last long.

So Scar deduced that Father Logan did not have much property in his hands. The reason why he came to the lower city was probably to seek help from fellow Ilmet believers, otherwise he wanted to buy supplies. In fact, you can definitely go to the outer city. Prices in the outer city are much cheaper than in Xiacheng. There is no need to come here.

So Scar took out the remaining 75 platinum coins from his bag again. He wanted to donate all the money to solve the worries of these respectable people. This move also helped himself. Compatriots, these priests of the God of Suffering are absolutely trustworthy. Even if such a large donation is raised, Ska is not worried that they will embezzle it for their own selfish desires. However, to be on the safe side, he still plans to find that Logan first. The chief priest, then hand over the money to him in person.

He walked into the temple made of stacked stones. Ilmet's temple was very simple. Although it was made of smooth polished rocks, there were no decorations to decorate it. There was a statue of Ilmet that looked equally simple. It stands in the middle, but there are no believers worshiping in front of the statue because they are all busy.

At this time, there were more than a dozen simply dressed believers of the God of Passion in the temple. To his right, several Ilmet believers set up a simple stand, and some wounded people were queuing up to wait. The treatment of Ermet believers can be regarded as a means for the temple to make a living. After all, no matter how devout their faith is, believers still need to eat, and they will provide people with treatment for others at relatively low prices.

On the left, several poor-looking civilians were telling something to a believer in front of them. There was a place beside them covered with linen, and Ska recognized the one on the ground. That should be a corpse. Yes, Ilmet's believers seem to be willing to provide a simple but solemn burial for the common people. This is also the only funeral that the common people can afford.

Ska didn’t look much. He found an Ilmet believer who seemed relatively free and asked him about Archbishop Logan. The believer who was pulled seemed a little surprised. After all, most people He probably didn't know where Logan was now, but he still told Scar the whereabouts of the high priest because Scar was a paladin.

After thanking the believers who pointed the way, Scar followed the guidance and came to the back of the temple, where most of the clergy usually rest. However, before he actually went there, he first spoke with a The identity of the admirer pays homage to the idol of Ilmet. He also saw the carved tablet placed on the base of the statue, which recorded part of the prayer vocabulary of Ilmet believers.

My lord Ilmet, we weep for you, because of our weakness, you had to suffer the punishment for all living beings.

My Lord Ilmet, please weep for us, because of our weakness, suffering still exists in the world.

My Lord Ilmet, bear our pain so that others will no longer suffer.

My lord Ilmet, because of our weakness, my lord Ilmet.

——

Ska found Archbishop Logan at the back, an old man in his 60s. He was thin, his skin was tanned by the sun, and he was wearing very simple clothes. In comparison, believers only have an extra robe on their bodies.

He has a neatly trimmed beard, but his hair and beard are half white. He is obviously in his twilight years, but his eyes are very bright.

He was currently talking to a man who was about the same age as him, dressed similarly, but without hair. When Scar walked over, their conversation had ended, and the bald old man shook his head in a low voice. , and the face of Archbishop Logan also showed obvious fatigue.

Ska probably guessed why they were troubled, so he stepped forward directly to express his identity and purpose of coming to Archpriest Logan.

Faced with Scar's help, Father Logan and the high priest of the nearby Temple of Misery, Father Lison, showed complete surprise.

None of them expected that a man who was supposed to come to Baldur's Gate from Eltoril to seek asylum could actually spend so much money to help his suffering compatriots.

But they did not doubt that the money had an improper origin. After all, no one would donate the stolen money to the temple, and Scar was still a paladin.

“Thank you, powerful and compassionate person. With this money, the Temple of Mercy and the Temple of Suffering will be able to support the people who will come to Baldur’s Gate. If you save some money, it should be enough to provide for them. Food for a thousand people for a month, may Ilmet’s eyes be on you, and may the suffering be far away from your compatriots forever.”
