Volume 7 Mortals and Gods Chapter 781 Destruction (5)
"It's really extraordinary."
Goodwin nodded. Enchanted armor was rare. Let alone him. Even for the nobles of the Shire, having an enchanted weapon was already a blessing from the gods.
But what about the eldest son of Duke Mousilon of the Kingdom of Batoria?
His whole body is enchanted.
"It's not as you might imagine. None of my equipment was inherited from my family."
There was still a smile in Solomon's eyes, but the corners of his mouth had returned to normal. He seemed to see what Goodwin wanted to say, so he explained:
"It's all a gift from the lady."
oh?!
Goodwin cheered up.
What blessing can you get without merit?

So Solomon's implication is that this complete set of enchanted weapons and equipment was all obtained from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and was "traded" from the fairy in the lake.
This cannot help but move Goodwin.
As a knight who believes in the God of Storm War over the years, Goodwin has experienced this.
The God of Storm War is not a generous god, or in other words, he is an indifferent god.
The Storm War God is a cold, ruthless and vengeful god.
He hopes that his followers will rely on their own strength to be self-reliant and use their bravery on the battlefield to demonstrate their loyalty to the Storm God.
Compared with those civilized gods, the Storm God is savage and ferocious. He is ferocious and independent, and is the embodiment of strength, glory and courage.
In fact, he asked for nothing more from his followers than strength, honor and courage.
The God of Storm War appreciates courage, bravery, fearlessness, ferocity and ruthlessness, and despises weakness, cowardice, and conspiracy.
However, the Storm War God is quite indifferent to its believers. Compared with the God of Justice who is willing to answer the prayers of believers or the Lake Fairy who often performs miracles, any ordinary believer or villager who prays to the Storm War God can only get
Silence in response.

So what about your own church pastor, or your own knights?
It can't be said to be generous.
The God of Storm War is...well, he is considered a loyal believer, but in fact, it is difficult to say that he is "generous".
If nothing else, take the case of Goodwin as an example. The God of Storms neither explained the opponent's strength nor offered any help when Goodwin faced such a powerful enemy.
Especially after the Minotaur fully evolved into the four-armed bull demon, according to normal circumstances, under the oracle of the gods, a powerful enemy that could not be resisted appeared, and the gods naturally had to lend a helping hand.
But the fact is that Goodwin did not pray for help, nor did the Storm War God help.
The reason why Goodwin did not ask for help was that he knew the God of Storm War. Not only would this god not help him, but he would also laugh at his weakness.
So why humiliate yourself?
If Goodwin is just a "simple-minded local", then it is normal for him to regard the Storm War God as a god, sacred and inviolable. He has an oracle telling him to go all out, even if it costs his life.
But Goodwin is not. He has his own beliefs and his own pride.

Deep down in his heart, he admired Grand Duke Gros extremely. After all, it was Grand Duke Gros who had the discerning eye to promote him, a commoner, to become a Knight of the Silver Hand.
You must know that this is an extremely unbelievable thing among the deep-rooted knight class. Very few civilians can transcend class and achieve transformation.
Being unable to cross classes means having no resources.
The lack of resources means that Goodwin can only become the lowest level cavalry at best, not even a knight, let alone break through the holy realm and become a paladin.
So Goodwin is grateful to the Grand Duke of Gross, the Principality of Shire, and the Knights of the Silver Hand.
To this end, he dedicated his true faith and love to the Knights of the Silver Hand and the Principality of Shire ruled by the Grand Duke of Gross.
Storm War God?
It's just superficial belief.
So after Solomon said this, Goodwin himself actually started to murmur in his heart.
With something in mind, the expression on his face naturally changed. Upon seeing this, Solomon raised his goatee slightly and stopped talking.
Moreover, for Goodwin, believing in anything is just a pretense. In his heart, he has always believed that the relationship between gods and believers is just one of using and being used:
Believers dedicate their faith and strength to the gods, and the gods protect the believers and grant divine grace.
The only ones he truly believes in are Archduke Groth of the Shire and the Knights of the Silver Hand...
On the mountain top late at night, the mountain wind howls, and the boundless stars shine in the sky.
Solomon drank his wine in one sip, burped gracefully, and then stroked his horse:
"Handil, are you full?"
The elf warhorse nodded solemnly, licked the bottom of the bowl with unsatisfied content, and snorted at Goodwin.
"It's praising you for making delicious soup, hahaha!" Solomon carefully helped his horse comb its mane and said with a smile: "There are very few things that can be praised by Handil, by the way.
Where is your war horse?"
"Ride it for your companions so that they can escape."
Goodwin looked at the numerous nicks and damage on his chain armor and thought that it might be difficult to repair it and that he needed a new pair of armor.
"A war horse is half of a knight's life. Are you willing to entrust your life to others?"
Solomon immediately realized how dangerous the situation facing that group of humans was.
"This is a knight's oath, isn't it? Defend the country, defend the territory, and protect your loved ones."
"It's...it's hard for today's knights to have this kind of awareness. In their view, the lady's teachings are not as important as their lives and futures. The knightly virtues of the past have become shackles that restrict their wealth and advancement.
"
Instead, Solomon's attention was diverted by Goodwin. He considered it for a moment and finally spoke:
"Do you know about the Battle of Marienburg that broke out a few months ago? The war between the Albrex Empire and Batoria?"
