Huh? When Eros heard the words "Goddess of Night," he was genuinely stunned. He wasn't pretending.
Good fellow, you asked me if I knew my ancestors? Eros's expression almost froze.
"Are you talking about the Dark Night Evil God? I've heard a little about him."
"Were you labeled an apostate because you were affected by this evil god? But wasn't he already killed by the righteous gods?"
Eros forced himself to steady the expression on his face and asked with a puzzled look.
After hearing Eros's answer, the Emperor of Knowledge fell silent again, then spoke in a very firm tone:
"The deeds that Your Highness has heard about are probably those preached by the church."
"Yes! Is there anything wrong with these deeds?" Eros continued to play dumb.
"If I say that all those deeds are false, Your Highness, will you believe me?"
After a pause, the Emperor of Knowledge said something that would leave ordinary sorcerers dumbfounded.
When Lecia next to him heard this, she couldn't help but look sideways.
Naturally, she had heard about the deeds of the Goddess of Night. These deeds had been circulating in the Dark Sea for tens of thousands of years, and even she believed in their authenticity. But today, someone suddenly jumped out and said that these deeds were false. How could she not be surprised?
Eros' expression became alert again. He took a few steps back, and retreated behind Lecia. He looked in the direction of the innocent girl and said coldly:
"Have you been bewitched by the followers of the Dark Night Evil God?"
The Emperor of Knowledge gave a wry smile and said, "I know it's hard for Your Highness to believe, but this is the truth."
"The stories promoted by the church are all fictitious. Real history is not what they claim."
After finishing speaking, seeing that Eros was still standing behind the Mermaid Queen with no intention of coming out, the Knowledge Emperor added with a somewhat helpless tone:
"Your Highness, rest assured. I am not an evil person. You just saw it. I swear to the great Lord of Life that He has not punished me."
"But what you did just now was clearly an attempt to defend an evil god." Eros said bluntly, without even using the polite greeting "you".
"I'm not defending the Goddess of Night. I'm just restoring the historical truth. I won't allow any falsehood in the knowledge I record," the Emperor of Knowledge corrected.
"So what you mean is that the nine righteous gods who protect the world order are joining forces to slander the evil god of the night?" Eros said expressionlessly.
"Although Your Highness may find it hard to believe, it is indeed the case."
"My Lord, along with the other eight gods, are slandering the Goddess of Night. I cannot believe that my Lord would do such a despicable thing, so I went to my Lord's kingdom to ask him why he did this."
"But my Lord did not answer my question. Instead, he directly gave me divine punishment."
"If I hadn't happened to have a clone of my consciousness teaching students in the outside world at that time, I would have perished long ago."
As he spoke later, there was a hint of bitterness in the words of the Emperor of Knowledge.
It seemed that the god he believed in, who was unwilling to even answer his question but directly punished him, had hurt his heart.
Eros remained calm, unmoved by the other party's words, and his tone became increasingly cold.
"That's just your one-sided statement."
Normal people should not doubt a god just because of what an angel said, especially when everything this god has done for tens of thousands of years has been to maintain order and protect all living beings.
The image of the glorious and majestic benevolent god has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. How could such an image be shaken by the words of a stranger?
Eros knew this clearly, so he pretended not to believe anything the other party said.
Unless the other party can give a reason that can convince him.
The emperor of knowledge also understood this, so he gave up defending himself and began to prove from another angle that what he said was true.
To deal with elves, you have to use rhetoric specifically targeting elves.
The Emperor of Knowledge organized his words, and then said to Eros earnestly:
"Your Highness just saw it. I swear to the great Lord of Life that I have not been punished."
"If the Goddess of Night is truly an evil deity, and I am truly defending her, Your Highness, do you think the Lord of Life will allow me to deceive you?"
To deal with the elves, we should talk to them about the Lord of Life, because those with pointed ears are basically fanatical followers of the Lord of Life.
As expected, as soon as these words were spoken, Eros frowned and a hint of hesitation appeared on his face.
Seeing that Eros was persuaded by him, the Emperor of Knowledge pressed on and said:
"Look, Your Highness, the great Lord of Life did not stop me from telling you this. Doesn't this prove that what I said is true?"
Eros remained silent for a while before he said with a puzzled look on his face:
"But if that Dark Night Evil... the Dark Night Goddess wasn't the Evil God, why did the nine great ones join forces to kill her? And why did they slander her after her death?"
The Emperor of Knowledge pondered for a moment after hearing this question, and then replied:
"Based on the history I know, it seems that the Goddess of Night possesses what my Lords and Them need, which is why..."
"As for why they tampered with history to slander Him, I think they probably wanted to remove the anchor that the Goddess of Night left in this world, making it impossible for Him to be resurrected."
"For divine beings, we only need to understand their deeds, which is equivalent to providing them with a small anchor."
"As more people learn about their deeds, their anchors grow and become more stable."
"When the anchor point reaches a certain level, the fallen gods can directly return through it."
"The reason why my Lord killed me upon discovering that I knew the true history was probably because, in His eyes, I had become the anchor for the resurrection of the Goddess of Night."
"And the anchor has to be cleared."
As he spoke, the tone of the Emperor of Knowledge became increasingly gloomy.
After hearing this, Eros' eyes were filled with shock, and he muttered to himself:
"Is that really the case?"
On the other side, Clodie Aisha looked at Eros and then at the innocent girl, because she couldn't hear a word from then on.
So she could only see Eros' lips moving but could not hear what they were communicating.
This was naturally the work of Lecia. Although these matters concerning the divine level were not detailed and were only vaguely described, they were not something that a low-sequence being like Clottey Aisha could listen to.
In the soul space, Barbara, who had watched the whole process, couldn't help but twitch her lips after hearing Eros' words. This acting queen really looked like one.
