Chapter 420 Questions and Answers

To regain the Holy Light?

Amber said a word out of nowhere, and if Gawain continued to ask, she didn't know anything, she just said that Wright had just returned to the territory - and now she has returned to the church.

"Look at the construction side," Gawain hurriedly explained to Rebecca, then grabbed Amber who was about to leave, "Come and see Wright with me."

"Hey, don't pull me... I choose God in the dark night, do you know... I choose God in dark night... I feel awkward when I enter the Church of Holy Light..."

Amber's weak protest quickly disappeared into the air. Gawain tucked the dwarf winter melon under his arm, strode straight to the church - it didn't take long for the two to arrive at the church that Wright himself personally made. in front of the built chapel.

At this moment, the church is not open, but the door is not locked. On the closed door of the church, a white death chrysanthemum is quietly inserted into the gap of the door.

Gawain glanced at the death chrysanthemum, then stepped forward and gently opened the door.

A tall and burly figure stood in front of the pulpit, with his back to the door, wearing a scarred Cecil magic armor, the sunlight pouring in from the side window fell on this figure's shoulders, rippling in a hazy circle. 's glow.

In that vaguely illusory glow, Gawain seemed to see something flashing away, but when he looked closely, all he saw was the hazy spots of light caused by the dust flying in the sunlight. .

Gawain walked towards Wright, and suddenly the sound of footsteps resounded in the empty church hall, and the figure in front of the pulpit swayed, Wright turned his head, and bowed after seeing Gawain: "Lord, I am right now. I'm going to report to you..."

"It doesn't matter, I'll come to see you too," Gawain waved his hand, and then noticed a shocking wound on Wright's face - the wound extends from the left forehead to the cheek, I'm afraid it will be a little deeper. It will take away one of Wright's eyes, and at this moment the wound has healed, but it left a deep scar, "...It seems that you have experienced a lot."

"I... regained the Holy Light," Wright lowered his head and spread out his palm, a mass of clear radiance with substance emerged from the air almost immediately, and gathered above his palm, this mass of light seemed to Aroused the holy energy in the air, so that his whole person was enveloped in a hazy halo, "I have never felt... The relationship between me and the Holy Light is so close, it turns out that it has always been by my side, Every one of us is like magic in nature..."

Gawain quietly watched the holy light flowing in Wright's hand and slowly dissipating, and then asked curiously, "How did you do it?"

"I... don't know the whole reason behind this, but maybe I found the true path of the Holy Light," Wright's voice hesitated at first, but then became firm and strong, "Lord, do you remember that you asked Have you heard what I said?"

Gao Wen had a feeling in his heart: "About your beliefs?"

"Yes, you once asked me, do I believe in the Holy Light or the God of Light," Wright said, turning his head and quietly looking at the back of the pulpit -- Gawain remembered that the Holy Light was once placed there The icon of the God of God, but now, there is nothing there, "I think I understand what you mean now..."

The disappeared icon, the regained holy light, and the temperament that Wright had quietly changed. Gawain had already thought about the pastor's recovery of the holy light, but he didn't know how this amazing change happened. - how a devout believer suddenly broke through his own beliefs,

Breaking through the kind of influence that is almost like a mental seal?

He couldn't help but ask, Wright was silent for a long time after hearing these questions, and then quietly said: "Lord, you know what the defeated soldiers did after the defeat of those nobles and priests of the Holy Light. ?"

"I can probably guess." Gao Wen said in a deep voice.

"We passed a village on the edge of the Consco area... it's completely destroyed," Wright said calmly, his tone seemed indifferent, but when he spoke, Gawain could feel the vagueness beside him About the floating holy light power, "There are more than a dozen survivors in the village, and we spent the night there..."

From Wright's mouth, Gawain and Amber knew about the night that happened in Consco's Land, about the collapsed nobles and Holy See knights who were mad because of hunger, about the little girl named Emily, and about Wright's recovery. The whole process of Holy Light.

After listening to Wright's story, Amber's always heartless and silly face inevitably showed a hint of regret and regret. She frowned, looked up at the gloomy Gawain, and then at Wright, In the end, he couldn't help but muttered: "That group of nobles killed by heaven... and those gangsters..."

After speaking, she immediately patted Gawain's arm: "Gao Wen, I didn't say you - you are still different from them."

"I know, you don't need to stress it out," Gawain glanced at Amber, then looked at Wright, "Although you have regained the Holy Light, you should still have doubts... otherwise you wouldn't be standing here thinking. I haven't reported it for so long."

"I'm just thinking about something... I don't know if I should be thinking about it," Wright really frowned and sighed slightly, then he looked into Gawain's eyes and asked in an extraordinarily determined tone, " Lord, I have a question."

"go ahead."

"Those nobles, as well as those priests and knights, they pretend to be the protectors of the people, but in the end they are more robbers than robbers, of course they deserve to die, we can kill hundreds of nobles in this war and priests, but... what is it that causes such nobles and priests? They hadn't fallen to this level hundreds of years ago, even decades ago... We eliminated them today, but dozens of years ago Hundreds of years from now, will people after us follow the same path of depravity?"

Amber looked at Wright's expression in disbelief. She didn't seem to expect that this question would be asked by him. In her mind, Wright was just an enthusiastic pastor who preached at ease and helped people everywhere in the territory, but she didn't expect him to come back. Then suddenly this kind of question will be asked—a question that almost asks whether what Gawain is doing makes sense.

And this question...

Amber couldn't help but glance at Gao Wen, she thought of the plans that Gao Wen once said, about the disposal plan of the old nobles, about the future territorial laws, she couldn't help but ask: "Yes, you originally It has also been said that there is always greed in human nature, even if it is the government office that seems to be orderly, clean and honest, as the territory develops and becomes richer, there will always be people corrupted by power, if that’s the case…”

Gawain looked at Amber and Wright, and he was not too surprised by the latter's question.

Transforming and establishing a kind of thinking is not an overnight thing, even with the continuous promotion of new education and new ideas, even in the innermost circle around him, there are very few people who can fully understand his ideas, and It was natural for Wright to have such questions after seeing the battlefield with his own eyes and seeing the corruption and depravity of the old nobles and the old church.

This has nothing to do with personal thinking or understanding, it is simply a limitation of the times.

He asked the priest who had regained the Holy Light in front of him: "Wright, what kind of group do you think the 'nobility' is?"

"Nobles..." Wright frowned, "they...are the owners and rulers of the land and the people, and at least in name, they are the protectors of it all...they have great power, and the kingdom is basically It's up to them to run."

"Then do you think 'noble' is good or bad?"

This time, it was Amber next to him who answered: "Bad - Wright has seen it with his own eyes."

"I am also a noble," Gawain looked at Amber with a half-smile, "and also Viscount Glenn, who liberated slaves eleven years ago, and now Lady Glenn, who has accepted the Law of Cecil and is ready to swear allegiance to Andrew Viscount Leslie, they are nobles."

"Uh..." Amber was stunned for a moment, scratching his hair, "That's good and bad."

"Yes, there are also good ones among the nobles, but why is the entire group of nobles still corrupted and degenerate like this?"

Amber and Wright looked at each other, as if they didn't know what Gawain really wanted to say.

Fortunately, Gawain didn't confuse them for too long. He wanted to tell the people around him something, and the time was right, so he took a slight breath and said what he thought: "Noble— Or more strictly speaking, the landed aristocrats under the current system of Ansu. They are the absolute owners of land and population, as well as the makers and executors of power. From the day of birth, the nature of this group determines their The way of survival - they own almost all resources, and have absolute authority to use these resources, all commoners are just renters of their resources, or even a part of their resources, nobles do not produce, and do not need to produce What, they just need to parasitize the land and people, and draw nourishment from the latter...

"So, of course, they don't really sympathize with and care about the lives and rights of civilians, and because the resources come from the land, they don't even care as much about the people as they care about their own land, even if they occasionally show that they care about the people. Appearance, that is only equivalent to a person cherishing the coins in his pocket, they will protect their coins, but if the price is right, they can 'spend' those coins at any time.

"It is also true that they claim to be the protectors of the people. In the barbaric pioneering years, human beings had only limited resources to support limited protectors. In order to survive, we had to concentrate a lot of resources on a few powerful On the individual, let these individuals protect the safety of the whole, and these powerful individuals are the original land aristocracy, at least in that era, their existence ensured the survival and development of civilization - but after this period is over?

"No one can control the landed aristocracy, because they are both the owner, the distributor and the user of the resources, the maker and the enforcer and the defender of the law, so they will inevitably become a runaway, corrupt, and degenerate group, Even morally speaking, their "corruption" is not corruption -- it's just a natural change in a group's expansion and growth in a nutrient-rich environment, just as a plant will continue to grow in fertile soil.

"In this case, the landed aristocracy never—remember, never voluntarily relinquish their resources and privileges, just as a plant does not voluntarily pull its roots out of the soil, in this case, Even if there are one or two 'good' landed aristocrats occasionally, they will not change the overall attributes of the landed aristocracy, because the essence of this group has not changed, and their way of living will not change, as long as they still own land and enjoy Privileged and mastery of resources, this group of them will inevitably embark on the path of parasitizing the land and the people, relying on the nutrients of the latter to survive, and their so-called 'people's protector' role will also be completed with all landed nobles. The allocation of resources and the formation of a relatively stable ruling structure disappeared. Think about those high-sounding 'aristocratic wars'. In 'aristocratic wars', did they pick up swords to protect the people?

"And when this concept is expanded, the same is true for the current Holy Light Church and the land nobility, except that the resources occupied by the land nobility are land, the church's possession is faith and magic, the privilege of the land nobility is the law, and the church's privilege It's a classic interpretation."

Gawain paused when he said this, looked at Wright and Amber who were in deep thought, and continued: "So let's go back to the beginning - why did the nobles become corrupted like this, the answer is - they will inevitably become corrupted and corrupted like this , this has nothing to do with the emergence of a few enlightened lords among the land nobles, and it has nothing to do with how glorious and great they were, this is purely determined by their inherent attributes, so - Wright, I can tell you for sure that we are in this war. Hundreds and thousands of nobles and knights can be wiped out in China, but as long as the group of 'land nobles' still exists, then even if we kill this group of land nobles, new land nobles will emerge sooner or later, even from our appear in future generations.

"So from the very beginning, this war was not just to destroy the bodies of those nobles, but to destroy their foundations. We did not do this to destroy the more than 40 feudal lords in the south and plunder their land wealth. The war is to destroy the whole of the 'land nobles' to which these lords belong, and to return the land and freedom to the people. Millie to fight the war.

"Wright, if you are interested, you can go and see my latest land distribution bill, and the explanation of land rights and people's rights, which is constantly promoted in schools, in newspapers, and in various bulletin boards, maybe You will understand why when Earl Hossman called for an army to declare war on Cecil, he placed eighteen counts on me. Eleven of them were related to the laws I made and the things that were advertised on the territory. Yes, because that's what really kills them - even their children and grandchildren, and at this point they see it pretty well.

"But as long as these things are promoted and established, and a stable social order is formed, then we can proudly say that we have eliminated the whole 'landed aristocracy', not their bodies, but their foundations. From now on, even if there is still the word 'noble', even if they have something left, their roots will no longer exist."
