The De: “Yeah”
The Hero: “We’ll be winging it this tiht?”
The De: “Well, no h this was originally a plan with humans in mind and has many merits for the humans”

The Deion of the huht?”
The Hero: “Yeah, the vast majority of people in the Central Continent follow the Spirits of Light”
The Des, is your faith weak?”

The Deht?”
The Hero: “That’s right That’s why each Holy Order builds a superficial iood But actually, their methods of worshi+p are different, their fervour is different, and if one were to look deeper, even the practice of stealing and converting each other’s followers is not uncommon”
The De: “That’s not very different from the territorial feuds between the Demon races It’s much easier to understand the difference between the Inferno God and the God of the Abyss”
The Hero: “These sorts of religions exist!?”
The De Fad”
The Hero: “Well, hmm… The Holy Order of the Lake is one of the more practical and stable sects”
