Chapter 547 The Sorrow of a Race
Orpheus looked at Val Ghez sadly, even though he had already learned about the current Gith from Nohir’s mouth—no, it’s the Githyanki. people.
Although Nohir had already learned from Nohir what the current Githyanki people have become due to the betrayer of Vlaakis, they can only truly see his compatriots head-on. Take the words of that liar and traitor as truth.
When you believe the traitor without a bottom line, respect the liar without a bottom line, and are even willing to sacrifice your life blindly for a lie, only then can Orpheus truly feel what Vlaakis has done. What.
"What lies - what nonsense are you talking about -"
"It's not nonsense!"
Before Val Ghez could finish his words, Orps completely suppressed him with his powerful momentum! The angry Comet Prince showed for the first time what the wrath of a king is! This momentary burst of momentum even directly shocked Val Ghez, causing him to stop his resistance that had not stopped before.
At that moment, Val Ghez himself, for some reason, felt the deepest instinctive reaction that seemed to come from the hearts of the Githyanki. He felt it in the powerful monk in front of him. An aura of kingship.
This kind of aura is mysterious and mysterious, but it does exist. To put it bluntly, Val Ghoz even felt that at that moment, the aura of a king in the Githyanki in front of him even surpassed that of the Supreme Queen. !
But the moment this idea appeared, infinite fear arose in Val Ghez's heart, and at the same time he instinctively asked himself why he had such an idea, but at this time Orpheus , relying on the monk's extraordinary and holy state of mind, forced himself to regain his sanity.
Although the anger in his heart was still burning fiercely, it was no longer enough to affect his thinking. If possible, Orpheus hoped to persuade this deceived fellow race here to let him get rid of the shackles of the Lich Queen.
But looking at Val Ghez in front of him, Orpheus only felt infinite sadness in his heart. He spoke to the fellow race in front of him in the softest tone possible.
“You have all been deceived, my compatriots, Vlaakis is not your savior, on the contrary, she is just a liar, a thief, a robber, and a tyrant who has restricted your true freedom! ”
Val Ghez was stunned, but he only froze for a moment. Almost in the blink of an eye, he started to attack Orpheus again, which he had stopped!
Orpheus's impassioned words did not bring him any enlightenment, but instead ignited a heartfelt anger in his heart, and this flame originated from Orpheus's treatment of Velakis. How disrespectful!
"You are so brave! How dare you spit out such blasphemous words from your mouth! The Queen will not forgive you! Will not forgive your rebellion! You will be thrown into the dragon's lair of Turanas! You will be killed by the Red Dragon Burned by fire and trampled by the dragon's wrath! Every trace of your flesh and blood will be -" Val Ghez criticized Orps angrily! Val'Gorz is undoubtedly quite young by Githyanki standards, having spent decades since his birth in the Githyanki raising room on the Material Plane. Time to come of age, train, cut off the head of the first GHAIK (brain-eating bastard), present it to the High Queen, and become a full member of Githyanki society. Until now, this time has only been spent. It lasted for almost 700 years.
As a member of the star realm who is immortal and immortal, this age is undoubtedly quite young. Because of this, Val Ghez has not experienced the events of tens of thousands of years ago. During that turmoil, he had never personally participated in those brutal battles. Naturally, he had no idea what the truth was at the time.
In Githyanki society, he had heard rumors of the Comet Prince, and also heard that in the stories of some tribesmen, the Comet Prince did not seem to be as despicable as the Supreme Queen said. , but as a true Githyanki, as one with only one education! An outstanding education! The Githyanki of Vlaakith's Education!
After he was first promoted from a common Githyanki Gish to the position of Centurion of Kethrak, he harshly purged everything he had ever heard about the comet. Rumors about the prince.
In other words, Val Ghez purged his own team. After he just became a centurion and had his own soldiers, he directly used cruel methods to slaughter nearly 1/3 of his men. Impure thoughts about Orpheus were curbed from the source, those weak thoughts were eradicated, pollution was eradicated, the rule of Vlaakis was protected, and the soldiers under the High Queen's rule remained extremely pure.
For Val Ghez, any voice that tries to veto Vilakis is a rebellion that needs to be eliminated. It is a rotten and stinking root in their glorious society and must be eliminated. Only by cutting it off can we ensure that Velakis's efficient and excellent rule can continue to run smoothly.
And he continued to maintain this style during his centuries-long promotion career, because this is the education of Vlaakith, and for the Githyanki society, eliminating Those who do not meet the standards of Vlaakis are simply normal, and Val Ghez also has 100, 1,000 ways to make those who are weak, listen to Orpheus's false rumors, and do not meet the standards die!
“...I understand.”
Looking at Val Ghez who was almost going crazy in front of him, Orpheus felt heartfelt sadness in his heart. He knew that he would not He may have convinced Val'Goz, but he also knew deeply in his heart that Val'Goz was just a sad victim, one of the many Gith people who were poisoned by Vlaakis's tea.
Imagine if, from birth, you lived in a society that completely lacked the concept of family. From the moment you became conscious, you were constantly told that other races were inferior and that only pious belief in the Supreme Queen could save your people. Fallen at the mercy of Githzerai traitors and brutal illithids.
Finally, after years of hard work and study, you embark on a dangerous illithid hunt, where failure means death, and if you succeed, you are taken to the Astral Plane, Join a society composed of people like you and become a member of a deformed society that is numb but you can’t feel it at all.
“…Once upon a time, all of Gith lived under the rule of the illithid, forced to fight for a group of tyrants, but under the rule of Vlaakith, the Gith How has it changed from before?”
