Don't call me evil god

Chapter 620 The Essential Contradiction

Some problems can only be seen if you look closely enough.

Because when the distance is too far, things will be automatically filtered, making it less clear.

The Manor Nobility Act, which has been in effect for more than 20 years, would not be noticed by an ordinary person or a professional with little power or status.

In turn, they would look with envy at the new nobles who were ennobled by His Majesty the King.

Even a baron with the lowest rank can achieve fame and fortune, which is equivalent to directly entering the upper class.

of course.

From Nowen's perspective, he prefers to use another word to describe these emerging nobles:
“The dependent group.”

They were a class between the traditional landed nobility and the ordinary citizens of the kingdom.

But in essence, they are more like aristocrats than citizens.

Because the various benefits and resources they receive do not come out of thin air, but are created by the hard work of ordinary citizens of the kingdom.

Given the environment of this world, Nowen agreed that those professionals who were once blessed by the gods deserved better treatment and should be supported by ordinary people.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

Their personal power is above that of ordinary people, and some things do require their power.

The same 1 level monster;
If ordinary people were sent up there, even if they were equipped with sophisticated weapons and equipment, they would probably have to pay nearly a hundred casualties before they had a chance to destroy it.
With a strong team of Tier 3 professionals, we can complete the hunt quickly and efficiently.

As a reward, they deserve more.

Those who don't need a comfortable life, who can always live a hard life and still fight monsters to the death, are not called nobility, but saints, a super rare species among mortals, and only a few of them appear in dozens or hundreds of years.

There is nothing wrong with the rules.

The problem lies with the fickle human beings themselves.

After enjoying the corresponding welfare benefits, the emerging aristocrats gradually began to "enjoy welfare and evade responsibilities."

When the responsibilities they shoulder are not equal to the treatment they receive, they change from being strong people and heroes supported by ordinary people to parasites that suck blood from the citizens.

They are different from the traditional old-style fiefdom nobles, whose responsibilities also include the governance of their fiefdoms.

If they try to evade this responsibility, the local people will pack up, move away, and they will go bankrupt.

The new nobility had fewer responsibilities to worry about.

From this point of view, mortals who believe in Norman will inherently stand in opposition to these new nobles.

His followers almost narrowed the most essential gap between the new nobility and ordinary citizens - whether or not they possessed extraordinary powers bestowed by God.

Now that the unique advantages that the new nobles were most proud of are gone, they have no reason to enjoy additional preferential treatment.

"Benefiting" from the slow speed of information transmission in this world, the distance caused a lot of news to be distorted and exaggerated during word of mouth, and some new nobles had long-standing prejudices against the eastern region.

They are trapped in their own information cocoons and have not yet realized the problem.

But Novin has foreseen the future from a higher perspective.

In the future Reyak Kingdom, only one of his followers and the kingdom's new nobles will exist.

There are irreconcilable contradictions between the two sides, and a life-and-death conflict is bound to break out in the future.

This matter has nothing to do with good gods or evil gods, it is a question of interests.

For example, Viscount Tostin of Ceylon, his case is very representative.

He may not be aware of these essential things. But he can find from his daily life that, whether he is a viscount noble or a 4th-level warrior, because the number of Norman believers is increasing, he is gradually becoming less important and less enviable in Ceylon.

Therefore, he would instinctively reject the belief in the God of Knowledge and even try to prevent his own children from running away to "surrender to the enemy."

This was the reason why Petunia and her father fell out.

……

At this stage, the contradiction has not been completely intensified.

Because information did not spread fast enough, most of the kingdom's new nobles had not yet realized the problem, and their overall cohesion was not strong enough.

Unlike the followers of Noven.

Believers united by the dual bond of faith and reward.

without any exaggeration.

As long as Norman is given enough time to farm and develop, he can make his believers instantly mobilize as a whole army when needed, and then gather all their strength to burst out!

The longer the time drags on, the more exaggerated the "troop force" that Norman can unleash.

Of course, given the current situation, the overall strength of Nowen's followers is certainly not comparable to that of the emerging aristocratic group that has accumulated strength for more than 20 years.

Therefore, Nowen was not in a hurry to bring the conflict to the surface.

This was different from the pressing situation at Stone Castle.

The enemy's position has been determined, and the enemy's strength has been determined.

Nowen can delay and has the confidence to do so.

The longer he delays, the greater his chances of winning.

The cultists of the Church of the Supreme Truth chose to infiltrate the new nobles near the royal capital, but this time they chose the wrong target.

Anyway, in the future, Nowen will command his believers to eliminate all these blood-sucking worms that are lying on the citizens, and at that time, he will also kill the evil god believers of the Supreme Truth Church and that will be it.

Therefore, regarding what Pete and the others experienced in the royal capital, Nowen had been watching silently in the gray fog space, and was not in a hurry to give any guidance or interfere with their choices.

Even if they don't want to get involved in this matter, they can ignore the undercurrents in the royal capital and go back to Ceylon Territory and the Dark Forest to hunt monsters and continue to improve their strength.

After all - if something really breaks out, with Nowen's current believers, it won't make much difference whether they are there or not.

The royal capital is not a stone fortress.

The 6th-level legendary archmage Alcandas is stationed in the Mage Tower;

The Five Saints of Radiance, five extremely powerful 5th-level Radiance priests, protect citizens and eliminate evil;
There are also a large number of mercenary groups, adventure groups, as well as palace guards and the king's army, among which there are also many powerful professionals.

If a cultist could successfully cause trouble in such an environment, then the capital would be doomed to be destroyed. There is no way to save it.

Nowen is more inclined to believe that these members of the Church of Supreme Truth hiding in the capital are probably using some shady tricks. They don't dare to secretly perform sacrifices, summon evil gods, or other extremely dangerous things that would cause [Detect Evil] to flash red wildly.

If you dare to try to do this, you will definitely die if you try.

Since the scale of the danger was not large, Novan did not need to mobilize believers urgently.

He planned to just let go and let Pete and the others mess around in the capital.

It doesn't matter what kind of shape it is!
