Lord: Marry the villain's daughter at the beginning?

To be honest, Linde originally wanted Sean to continue to manage the valley. After all, this was originally Sean's fiefdom, and Sean had governed it well.

But after careful consideration, Lind decided to let Sean continue to be in charge of railway transportation. After all, although the river valley is very important, letting Sean go there now would be a downgrade.

Moreover, this arrangement could easily cause some unnecessary misunderstandings, so Lind finally let Laurie temporarily impose military control in the valley.

Having just returned to Gray Collar, there were still many things that needed to be dealt with, but Lind still arranged a meeting between Tia and Lantern Dream.

When Bernice saw the throbbing black flesh, she exclaimed, "Goddess, this is such blasphemy!"

Although she wanted to touch it with her fingers, Bernice finally resisted the urge.

And Tia asked curiously, "So? Can you tell what this thing is?"

Looking at this piece of black meat, Tia couldn't even eat snacks. She just wanted to quickly figure out what this piece of black meat was.

"There is no doubt that this is a piece of the flesh and blood of an Outer God."

Bernice kept circling around the piece of black flesh and kept observing it carefully.

Lind was not surprised by this conclusion. He had already made a guess when he saw those monsters. Although their actual performance was different from the Outer Gods that Lind knew in his previous life, their appearance was just as abstract.

However, Lind was also somewhat curious about how Bernice was so sure, so he asked, "Is there any evidence?"

"No."

Bernice shook her head and replied, "But both the piece of meat in front of me and the characteristics of the monsters you described match the early religious texts and myths to a certain extent. Many details can be matched."

Bernice glanced at Tia and said, "Just like the records of the elves, some details recorded in the early scriptures of each religion are pieced together to form a complete image of the foreign gods. I have to say that the records of these false gods are still somewhat useful."

As soon as these words came out, Tia's face immediately became quite ugly, but after looking at Lind beside her, she suppressed her anger and asked rationally: "Then why can the records of false gods you mentioned record the images of these foreign gods? Now this piece of meat and the monster of the demon race have proved the existence of foreign gods. Does it mean that except for the foreign gods and goddesses, all gods are fake?"

Faced with this question, Bernice just smiled with a hint of sarcasm, as if she was looking at an ignorant person and was unwilling to explain.

Lind had no choice but to come out and smooth things over, saying, "Okay, let's talk about the Outer Gods, and put other religions aside for now."

Linde also held his forehead helplessly. Even in Linde's previous life, matters involving religion were very troublesome. Many wars, big and small, in history were caused by religion or fought in the name of religion.

Not to mention that there really are gods in this world.

However, after taking a look at Bernice's arrogant expression full of superiority, Lind somewhat understood why the Lantern Dream was cut off by the current Church.

Bernice still respected, or rather feared, Lind, so after Lind came out to smooth things over, Bernice immediately brought the topic back, but before that, Bernice said something meaningful: "Just because God is fake doesn't mean God doesn't exist."

Afterwards, Bernice looked at the black piece of meat and said, "But to be honest, we didn't expect to actually see an Outer God with our own eyes."

Bernice began to briefly introduce to Tia what the Outer Gods were. Of course, compared to the introduction she gave to Lind, Bernice obviously deliberately concealed many details, or simply did not bother to mention these details.

This mass of black flesh is extremely blasphemous to anyone with faith, because even the villains in mythological texts, such as the Outer Gods, are beaten by gods in various texts, but those texts do not deny that the Outer Gods are also gods. Even if they are considered lower-level gods in the texts, they are still gods of the same rank as the gods they believe in.

This creature, which was supposed to exist only in mythology, now has its flesh and blood right before everyone’s eyes.

After listening to Bernice's introduction, Tia looked at the black piece of meat in front of her with a look of awe and fear. She also understood why Bernice shouted blasphemy at the beginning.

That is the flesh and blood of God. Would the God that I believe in also have his flesh and blood cut off like this?

"Is the Outer God, the demon god that the demon god believes in, still alive?"

Tia continued to ask questions as she looked at the throbbing mass of meat.

Bernice glanced at Lind and confirmed that Lind also wanted a detailed explanation before answering, "According to the religious scriptures we have, there should be no living foreign gods in this world. If the scriptures are correct, the demon god of the demon clan cannot be a living god."

But Bernice then said, "But there are still many things we don't understand about these gods. For these gods, death may just be a state, not an end."

Linde stroked his chin and recalled, "According to what the demons said on the battlefield, they called these things holy remains, or the flesh and blood of demon gods, which means that their demon god should indeed be dead."

"The demons dug out the Outer Gods from the eternal frozen earth and discovered that the flesh and blood of the Outer Gods had some kind of effect that could transform the demons into monsters similar to the Outer Gods. So the demons worshipped the Outer Gods as their own gods."

Lind went on to conclude: "Most monsters have no self-awareness and can only be controlled by one or more self-aware monsters. It is not clear how a monster can have self-awareness."

Although Lind killed all the demons, he didn't think that those demons who were thrown into the battlefield to do odd jobs knew anything. The real experimenters were definitely hiding behind the demons.

"And judging from the battlefield, this so-called flesh and blood of the Outer Gods is deadly to humans. We don't know what will happen to humans after eating this black meat, but the black blood will corrode humans and transform them into monsters wrapped in mud."

In its final form, it looked like the slime monster in the RPG game that Lind liked in his previous life.

However, the monster setting of this otome game world does not include this classic slime element.

Lind felt that these corrupted humans would definitely not simply become sacrifices for the monsters to recover from their injuries.

Tia continued to record and digest the news she received today. Although these were all based on speculation, the only truly accurate information was the part that Lind obtained from the battlefield. But for the elves with a long history, with this information, they could look for similar information in historical records in a targeted manner.

Finally, Tia looked at the black piece of flesh that didn't look dead at all and was still beating, and asked, "If death is just a state for gods, will the demon god of the demon clan be resurrected?"
