Chapter 526: Rumors are spreading
Because of official supervision, the reports of these reporters are basically relatively objective.
Although there is still some content with personal subjective emotions, it basically adheres to a relatively fair attitude and reports the whole story and process of the incident in detail.
People who read newspapers can basically know what happened through these reports, and they can also understand what the authorities have done.
I just don’t know if some people have ulterior motives or they really don’t understand the reports, so in Chernobog there began to be reported that “the Earl of the North indulged in heresy”, “the royal family tried to kill people”, “the plague has spread”, etc. Outrageous rumors spread.
This made Purficott feel dumbfounded. She didn't even know how these outrageous rumors spread.
But no matter what, what should be dealt with still had to be dealt with. She immediately ordered the intelligence department in the north to conduct a thorough investigation into the source of the rumors and arrest those who spread the rumors.
The efficiency of the Northern Intelligence Department is naturally not comparable to that of the procrastinating guys in the Military Intelligence Department. Within a few days, many people were imprisoned for spreading rumors.
Suddenly, Chernobog's public opinion became that the northern lords restricted the people's freedom of speech and tried to cover up the truth regardless of the facts.
There is no doubt that if Purficott could not tell that someone was deliberately inciting her at this point, her life would have been in vain.
Faced with this situation, Purficott didn't waste any time and directly promulgated a new decree declaring that such behavior of spreading rumors was illegal and would be severely punished. After that, he directly dispatched self-discipline knights to start a nationwide search. .
Under Purficott's iron fist, the person behind the scenes quickly surfaced.
"I really didn't expect that someone would let a good imperial nobleman be treated as a dog for those heretical evil gods." In the interrogation room, Purficott looked at the person captured by the self-discipline knight, his face With helplessness and regret on his face.
The person in front of her is an heir of the Collins family, one of the three great dukes in the empire. He does not have the right to inherit the title of duke, but he has the title of baron and can be regarded as a formal and decent noble. .
Such a person is undoubtedly of noble status and noble blood, and at the same time, he has a promising future within the empire.
Although the power of the Collins family has declined slightly because the Duke of Gloucester has taken over the seat of Speaker of the Noble Parliament, it is still one of the three great dukes in the empire, and its family has huge influence and reputation within the entire Victoire Empire.
Even if the children of the family are only heirs, they can still get a good position within the empire and live a luxurious life compared to ordinary nobles.
"What do you know? How can the blessings of the gods be compared to ordinary people?" Although the other party had been tortured at this time and was shackled tightly to the chair, there was still disdain and disdain on his face. Contempt.
It was as if he was the superior god himself, not just a dog of the other party.
In response, Purficott just shrugged and responded indifferently: "If you describe the divine pollution of the gods as a blessing, you feel that being a dog to the gods is more serious than a mortal. Noble, I really don’t understand, because people can’t understand why dogs think they are nobler than people.”
Purficott's words did not irritate the other party, he just tilted his head in disdain.
Perfect didn't care about this man's attitude. She actually didn't have anything to ask. She just came to see who was willing to be a dog for the gods instead of continuing to be a human being. people. However, Purficott still asked him: "In Victoria, the Collins family is already the top wealthy family. Although you do not have the right to inherit the title of duke, you still have the title of baron as the heir of the family, and enjoy the title of Collins." The various benefits brought by the surname.
There is nothing wrong with saying that you are a master of the Victoria Empire.
But wait until you join the Evil God Sect. When the old gods really come, you will only be a member of the middle and lower classes of the sect. Even if you can get the so-called blessing, you may not have the status and enjoyment you have now
So why bother? Are you really looking for that evil god's blessing? Or do you believe in gods from the bottom of your heart? Tell me, I'm curious. ”
Perfect is really curious. She doesn’t quite understand what these people think. After all, who is a good person who would let go of a good life and then become a dog for others?
"How can you understand the greatness of gods? The real gods are not the false gods worshiped by the church. The blessings of gods are simply not something that people like you can understand! "There is no doubt that the most effective way to get a fanatical believer to break through is to question his belief. Before Purficott even started to attack his belief, the man could no longer sit still and pulled the chain on his body.
Looking at the guy in front of him who looked like an angry beast, Purficott felt deeply helpless. After pressing his forehead, he ordered someone to bring a mirror and took a shot. Snap your fingers.
"If the great blessing you are talking about is turning into this kind of person, I really can't understand it. "Perfect said, then turned and left the interrogation room.
Behind her, the believer of the evil god who finally saw his appearance clearly in the mirror let out a roar of collapse.
He did receive blessings from the old gods, but in Purficott's understanding, this blessing was more like the mutation of the body after being exposed to radiation.
This kind of mutation will make the blessed person closer to the god they believe in. If the god is in human form or closer to human form, then this kind of mutation is not bad, at most there will be one more thing on the body. If you click on the parts, there won’t be any big changes in form.
As for whether there is a second heart or an extra mouth on the belly under the human form, that is debatable.
But most of the old gods basically have nothing to do with human form, and quite a few of them are very abstract.
For example, although the name of the god that this unlucky man believed in was very nice, it was the God of Ocean Wealth, but in the church records, the official name of this god was the God of Greedy Poseidon.
Its mission is to plunder and snatch. To put it simply and straightforwardly, this person is a big pirate.
But this is not the point. It is not that there are no people who believe in this kind of bandit god, and there are even many people who pursue this kind of bandit culture.
The real key point is that the appearance of this greedy sea god is completely in the shape of a deep-sea marine creature. The whole god looks more like a huge mangy treasure, or his lower body is eighteen years long. The kind of skinny treasure with octopus tentacles.
