Lord God Investigator

After the Bredlow troupe absconded, the Church of Lathander conducted a large-scale pursuit and search, but could not find any clues. The chief priest's wish to convince Bredlow was shattered because he could not even meet the great artist himself.

Bredlow and Friends Cultural Development Co., Ltd. is managed by Dame Hathaway, a loyal supporter of the theater company. The Dame insists on doing what Mr. Bredlow told him before leaving, that is, the Grand Theater of Amn The screenings and sales of Phantom will never end.

The Council of Amn made a decision to allow the screening of "Temple of Lathander" and the sale of shadows as usual. The shadow merchants bought the shadows of "Temple of Lathander" and embarked on a business trip.

When Luo Feng and Arkanis were harming the Baenre family, "Temple of Lathander" was shown one after another in the magic theaters in cities on the surface of Faerûn. People from all over the country rushed into the theater excitedly as before to watch the new film by the Bredreau Theater Company. After the demonic shadow, the public opinion in Faerûn was boiling.

Just like the great controversy that took place in Amn, every city was like a dynamite barrel that was ignited. This drama shocked thousands of waves with one stone, and finally became a historic event that shocked Faerûn.

Due to different political systems and different beliefs in many countries in Faerûn, the leaders of each country have completely different attitudes towards this drama.

For example, the neighboring country of Amn, where the noble forces and the gods of justice are relatively strong, is the country of Tethyr.

The queen issued a decree directly banning the show on the joint advice of the eight grand dukes in the private council of the palace. However, Tethyr is located between Amn and Calishan, on a major transportation route, and its business is also developed. Emerging nobles The power has high prestige among the people.

The emerging aristocrats who bought their aristocratic titles through business were not too repelled by the show. Many of the new aristocrats were also operators of the magic theater. After they discovered that the public liked the show very much, they wanted to use the public's voice to create a substituting show. Under the banner of public petition, the people were led to appeal to the queen to lift the ban, but the eight grand dukes, representatives of the old aristocratic forces, mobilized the Knights of the "Silver Holy Grail" to drive them out of the Dalauma Palace Square and arrested several leaders of the petition. .

This play triggered turmoil in Tethyr, and the contradiction between the old and new aristocratic classes came to the fore and gradually intensified.

Another example is Baldur's Gate, a small country in the north of Amn. This country also has a parliament. After some debate, the parliament believed that banning the show would affect the city's tax revenue and rejected the request of the Church of Lathander.

In Dagger Valley and the Valley, where the Church of Lathander has the strongest influence, "Temple of Lathander" was immediately banned. Not only "Temple of Lathander", but also all stage plays of the Bredlow Theater Company's "Shadows" were banned. The Bredlow troupe was declared blasphemer, and Bredlow himself was put on a bounty list. Anyone who brought his head to the Lathander Church in Dagger Falls could receive a reward of one hundred thousand gold coins.

In countries such as Waterdeep, Quesen Tower, Great Valley, Misty Valley, Vale, Bow Valley, Silvermoon Alliance, Hantu, Harrow Valley, and Moonshadow Islands, the power of the Church of Lathander is not very strong, but the people of these countries are important The god of faith is on good terms with Lathander. After the activities of the Lathander Church, the official government also banned the screening of "The Temple of Lathander", but did not declare that the Bredlow Theater Company had committed a crime, nor did it ban the screening of other stage plays of the theater group.

There are also many countries, such as Calimshan, Char, Luskan, and the Moon Sea. In these countries, the power of the Lathander Church is low and cannot influence the official political power, so banning screenings is out of the question.

Driven by profit, many shadow merchants in countries that have banned the screening of "Lathander Temple" have set up "underground cinemas" to screen the film quietly at the risk of breaking the law. Except for the two countries of Dagger Valley and Valley, the enforcement of banning laws is relatively slow. Despite being completely banned, quite a few people in other countries have enjoyed this show.

As more and more civilians in Faerun have watched "The Temple of Lathander", the Church of Lathander has suffered heavy losses throughout Faerun, and the number of believers has begun to decrease rapidly, so much so that it has alarmed the Dawn of the Temple of Nature in the outer world. Lord Lathander himself.

The Lord of the Dawn couldn't understand why this great artist who had painted his portrait and was deeply admired by him would rehearse "The Church of Lathander" to blackmail him and damage the spread of his faith on the continent of Faerûn. He was obviously related to Bray Dro had no grudges, and the Church of Lathander had never offended him.

Luo Feng is not targeting him. All the gods in the outer world will be targets of his blackmail in the future. The reason why he blackmailed Lathander in the first place is very simple: the Lord of the Dawn killed Mu Erting during the Tribulation of Dawn.

Murdine is the god of reason and pragmatism, a goddess of weak divine power.

After the death of this goddess, the priesthood disappeared.

Thereafter, there was no god to govern rationality and pragmatism, no god to protect rational people and pragmatists.

This means that from that moment on in Faerûn, rationality no longer exists and pragmatism is useless!

For Luo Feng, this feud is a serious one! If people lose their rationality and do not pay attention to pragmatism, the development of science will be seriously affected, which is equivalent to eliminating the possibility of Faerûn people making progress by relying on their own strength.

Luo Feng believed that Lathander was the most reactionary imperialist, an enemy of the people who was countless times more evil than Cyric, Bane, Shar, Talos, Ross, and Launov, and he wished he could kill him as soon as possible.

As a conspiracy theorist, Luo Feng believed that Lathander's fundamental purpose in launching the Calamity of Dawn was not to establish a new pantheon as he claimed. He wanted to build a cage that would forever imprison the thoughts of the people of Faerûn!

The murder of Mu Erting is proof of this.

Goddess Woking is imprisoned in the bottomless abyss, and I'm afraid it has something to do with him!

In the turbulent years of Faerûn, the development of economy, science, politics, culture, and productivity happened to be in a bottleneck period. Just like Europe during the Renaissance, the religious and theocratic power of the gods turned from its peak to decline. With the prosperity of commerce, With the growth of the emerging aristocratic class, the people of Faerûn are about to embark on a great ideological liberation movement, and the humanistic spirit is about to rise.

The continent of Faerûn is about to cross over from the era of feudalism and enter the era of capitalism.

The city of Ascatella, the country of merchants and the capital of gold coins, is like Florence, Milan and Venice in the Renaissance. The emerging bourgeoisie has reached a certain scale and influence in Amn. They urgently need cultural nourishment and obtain a higher social status. .

At this turning point, the gods sensed the danger. If the minds of the people of Faerûn were liberated, began to pursue personal happiness in real life, advocated personal liberation, and believed that people are the creators and masters of real life, what else would the gods do? Is there any power of faith that can be obtained?

Like the forgotten ancient god in the sewers of Ascaltra, they will eventually be reduced to a situation where immortality becomes a painful curse.

The Lord of the Dawn, Lathander, was a pioneer in defending the old order and protecting the divine shepherd system. He did not hesitate to kill a goddess who was very important to the future of the people of Faerûn to completely eliminate the possibility of social progress.

The god's name is "Lord of Dawn". In Luo Feng's eyes, Lathander is just an old "Lord of Twilight". Living in the dream of the past glory will definitely be run over by the wheels of history. .
