Some people are saved while others are not. Almost all life in the world is grateful to the gods, so who would care about the inhumane things the gods do in private?
The gods have absolute power over their own clans, whether it is the laws of the outside world, the rules of Orario, or even the hearts of people in the outside world.
If an adventurer encounters a god with bad intentions, he can only accept his fate. There is no rule in the world that has the right to interfere with the gods' handling of their own clans.
Perhaps this is the price of receiving God's favor?
Every day, countless people who yearn to be heroes come to Orario, and those who have special skills will choose to join large clans.
Although the power of gods over their followers is absolute, the main gods will not be too willful towards those followers who are famous.
But most of the people who come to Orario are not those who are well prepared and have special skills, but those who are half-baked and come to Orario to try their luck.
As long as I have God's grace, I can become as strong as a hero - those who come to Orario with this idea in mind are the most likely to suffer misfortune and can only join a small clan with little reputation.
Every time she sees this kind of person, Lilyluka wants to laugh.
What kind of people will the clan be if it fails to develop after being in the lower world for a period of time?
That is a clan formed by gods, gods whose wisdom and experience far exceed those of humans.
Is there any god who doesn’t have a special skill?
It is also difficult for the gods to manage their own families to a first-class level. The gods need to meet children with enough potential and need the children not to die in adventures. This is not something that the gods can do alone.
But the clan is managed fairly well, with at least a number of level 3 adventurers. Any god has that ability.
Do gods lack the combat experience of adventurers? Do gods lack the knowledge of dungeons? Do gods lack the understanding of children?
No shortage.
The gods guide their clans with all their heart. It is not difficult to manage the clans well, as long as they manage them in a decent manner.
For the followers that are below this standard, the main god will definitely have various problems. The better ones will just be too interested and no longer care about their followers. For the worse ones... anything can happen.
No one would stand up for the tragic plight of the clan. Instead, everyone believed that if they encountered a god with a bad temper, they could only blame their own bad luck.
After all, it's no different from a sacrifice.
——Please the gods protect our lower world. In return, we are willing to offer sacrifices. The gods can choose any number of people as your followers and completely control their lives to satisfy your own interests.
Maybe this is the deal?
It’s just that the gods’ methods are more gentle. If the sacrifice happens to meet a kind god, the sacrifice can live a good life and even be regarded as a hero.
For newcomers willing to join the unknown clan, it would be good if three out of ten can survive within a year.
Every time she sees a newbie who has just arrived in Orario, Lilyluka can't help but sneer. They could have lived a pretty good life in the outside world, but they chose to come to Orario to seek death... They really deserve to die.
Living in the outside world, at least there are laws to guarantee your safety. Even if you encounter unreasonable nobles who trample on the law, you can change your appearance and escape to a foreign country. At worst, you can hide in the mountains and forests.
It is very dangerous in the deep mountains and forests, but it is only to the extent of facing wild beasts. If you try hard, you can still overcome it.
But in Orarie...
The Deity can sense the objects that have received His divine favor.
This one rule alone eliminates any possibility of escaping from the clan.
Even if he went to other gods for help, or to the trade union for help, saying that he was being abused in his clan, no one would care.
The only thing the union can control is the actions of certain clans that may threaten the safety of Orario and affect the order of Orario.
After the door is closed, the union has no control over the affairs within the clan, nor does it have the ability to do so.
Grasp the bottom line of all clans and make most of the clans feel that the existence of the union is more convenient for them and that the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. Only then will the union be a union.
If the union interferes in the internal affairs of other clans at will and arouses the disgust of the gods, the clans will unite and overthrow it.
Essentially, the reason the underworld is peaceful is that the gods find humans who join their flock interesting.
Because it is interesting, the gods are still providing God's grace to the underworld. Relying on God's grace to promote growth, high-level adventurers can suppress the monsters in the dungeon.
It’s not just the top adventurers who are contributing to the peace of the underworld.
The gods as a whole find the underworld interesting, so the clan system has the possibility of continuing to exist. High-level adventurers have made greater efforts in maintaining peace in the underworld, but the weak who died because of the gods' dark thoughts have essentially also contributed their part for peace.
They satisfied the darkness in the hearts of the gods and made the gods very satisfied with the underworld. This satisfaction made them, the gods, find the underworld interesting.
The humans in the lower world gained peace because they joined the gods' followers and sacrificed their lives to the gods.
——However, instead of enjoying this peace, these people are trying their best to get into Orario?
He deserves to die.
Whenever she saw the newbies coming to Orario, Lilyluka would curse them in her heart, saying that they didn't value their freedom at all, and...
She didn't even have a chance to choose.
Just because her parents belonged to the Soma clan, she became a member of the Soma clan completely unreasonably.
You are in the sea of suffering, but people on the shore regard it as an opportunity in life and try their best to get into it?
Perhaps, the silver lining to her misfortune was that she was born into the Soma clan.
The Soma clan is not the worst in Orarie.
The Soma clan is a clan that exists because of Soma. This sounds like nonsense, but among all the clans, there are actually not many like the Soma clan.
Every clan has its own reasons for coming into being, but the reason for the existence of the Soma clan is particularly special.
For the divine wine.
The wine brewed by the gods is so delicious that it is beyond human imagination. Humans on earth cannot stop drinking it.
The entire Soma clan is not after power, beauty, or profit; all they think about is how to get more of the divine wine.
The team member who can submit the most income will be able to obtain the most amount of divine wine, which is not as good as the best in the whole of Orario, but more than enough than the worst.
According to common sense, the control that gods have over their followers is incredibly great, but no matter how great it is, there is a limit.
Slave owners can beat and kill slaves, but they can't expect slaves not to fight back. If slaves are aware of not fearing death, the slave owners will not be able to force them to work.
After joining the clan, the adventurer's life belongs to the gods, but the barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. If you insist on giving up despite the punishment that the gods will no longer renew your favor, the gods will be helpless.
But Soma is different.
To some extent, the divine wine is similar to the charm of the goddess of beauty, both of which can forcibly confuse a person's consciousness.
The closure of the dungeon is just a small matter for other clans. At most, they can stop doing business and exploring. They can just treat it as a long vacation.
But for the Soma clan, it was truly fatal.
Without the income from entering the dungeon, there would be no way to provide Soma with the materials for brewing wine. Without the materials for brewing wine, there would be no magical wine.
Without the magic wine, it would be fatal.
The divine wine is something that is never enough for those who are addicted to it, so the Soma clan has always been very crazy.
But in recent days, because of the cut off of economic source, the Soma family has become particularly crazy.
Lilyluka knew very well what people who longed for the divine wine but could not get it would do.
There was a time when she was addicted to the divine wine and couldn't extricate herself. She entered the dungeon like crazy, intending to get money, but she was too young at the time and could not get enough money no matter what she did.
Fortunately, she did not die in the dungeon, and was unable to obtain the divine wine for a long time, but this helped her get rid of her addiction to the divine wine.
But she will never forget the feeling of wanting to die when her alcohol addiction struck.
Now that the underground city is closed, without an economic source, there is no source of divine wine. God knows what the Soma clan will do.
The moment she learned of the incident, Lililuka hid herself with this thought in mind.
After receiving God's grace, it is impossible to leave the family, but if you only disappear for a short time...
A responsible god might be very anxious and use his perception ability to try to find his own clan members and rescue them from danger, but Su Mo is not that kind of responsible god.
If she wanted to escape from Orario, it would be impossible.
Even if we ignore the tight defense outside the city of Orario, all Su Mo needs to do is sense her approximate location. There is no need for Su Mo's family to take action personally. After informing the union, she will be captured by the union.
Everyone in heaven is a god, and no one will submit to anyone else. One of the reasons why the Orario Union can stand in a neutral position and make most of the clans obey the union's management is that the union takes on such trivial matters.
Compared to having no union management, many clansmen feel that it is not bad to tolerate union management. They don’t have to worry about such small matters, the union can handle it.
But if she just hid in Orario and didn't return to the Soma clan for a short time, Soma would most likely not come to catch her.
She is just a Lilyluka and not worth that much.
She had only seen Su Mo a few times. In her impression, Su Mo was always hiding in the workshop making wine and was not interested in anything else.
It would definitely not work if the time was too long, and even if the time was short, she would definitely be abused if she did not return to her family to hand over the money during this period.
But she knew too well what a person who had gone completely crazy would do. Selling her to Happy Street was the most normal thing, and it was even considered good.
The reason why they never thought of buying her was that the clan leader felt that keeping her would bring more benefits than buying her, and that her continuous payment of money would be more profitable than making a profit from selling her.
The previous clan leader had that judgment, but Lilyluka couldn't guarantee it. Now that the divine wine has been cut off... for the leader, perhaps in the short term, the amount of divine wine obtained will just decrease?
But even so, she couldn't trust the current members of the Soma clan.
The only thing she didn't expect was that, although she had tried to hide in a secret place as much as possible in order to avoid the members of the Soma clan, and although she had some saved money, she didn't go to any regular stores at all, and only ate leftovers -
But you can occasionally meet members of the same family next to the trash can!
The moment she found out, she was stunned.
The Soma clan is naturally divided into levels, with the leader at the top and the various gangs and factions under him. Each force manages a part of the lower-level clans.
Even if the Soma clan has really fallen to the point of picking up garbage, it doesn't make sense for a leader who manages some people to personally rummage through the trash cans, right?
Am I crazy or is the world crazy?
Lily ran away.
After all, she has magic. Although her magic has no combat capability and can only transform her, as long as she runs into the crowd and uses magic to change her appearance, she should be able to escape danger.
If she didn't have the perception ability of God's Grace, she would have escaped from Orario long ago with the magic of transformation. She even has the ability to transform, so she doesn't have to worry about the subsequent pursuit.
...Don't worry, it's okay. You managed to survive despite trapping so many adventurers in the dungeon, didn't you?
Lily encouraged herself in her heart. As long as she got to the crowd and crossed the corner,
"Hey, little one, you can run quite fast!"
Suddenly, Lilyluka's feet were in the air.
She is just a dwarf, even if she is of the same level, her speed and strength grow very slowly due to the limitation of her body size and the difference in race.
