Chapter 8 St. Granburg

"call……"

Seeing the four fierce mercenaries leaving, Aoun, Lei Luo and several knights couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Aoun extinguished the fireball in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The name of magician is really useful. It is much more bluffing than scholars. I finally scared them. I don't want to die on the way to the Gran Academy of Natural Sciences!" "

"Angartula Krelina Yesusa..."

The elf girl came to several people, speaking Elvish language with tears in her eyes, standing at a loss, with tears in her eyes threatening to fall at any time.

Aoun saw Lei Luo, whose expression was still stiff, and joked: "Hey, okay, okay, they've left. Please return my notebook quickly. I'll look for any books on Elvish in the space box."

The knights got off their horses, took off their helmets, and wiped the nervous sweat from their foreheads.

The female knight looked at this beautiful elf girl, looking at her helpless look, and was immediately filled with sympathy. She looked back at Aoun, who was rummaging through Elvish books in the space box, and said: "Compared to Elvish, She needs clothes and food even more now!"

"ah?"

Aoun suddenly said: "I forgot!"

Lei Luo, who had just recovered from the tense confrontation, was stunned again because of the space box in Aoun's hand.

Aoun took out a box the size of a makeup box. After opening it, he took out dozens of books and miscellaneous things. There seemed to be infinite space inside the box.

after awhile.

After drinking some water and eating some soft bread, the elf girl put on clothes looked at everyone with gratitude and kept talking in Elvish language. Orn was sweating profusely while translating, but he could only barely translate a few words, and still The unsure look also allowed Lei Luo to see the truer side of Ornn.

"Well... I do know some Elvish language."

Lei Luo, who had been silent all this time, suddenly whispered.

Everyone suddenly became quiet and stared at Lei Luo in shock.

Seeing everyone looking at him like this, Lei Luo's face turned red and he said, "When I was studying in the church, I decided to become a missionary, serve the great God of Light all my life, and go to remote areas to spread light, so I studied Some Elvish, but just the most basic and simple parts.”

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I'd be embarrassed!"

Ornn grumbled, replacing the Elvish book he had almost never read.

Lei Luo seemed to be deeply hit, and said in a low voice: "Because, I have lost my faith."

With that said, Lei Luo took out the Bauhinia Badge and "The Mystery of Evolution" while everyone was in disbelief. He looked at Aoun and said, "Father gave me this."

"Glenn Academy of Natural Sciences Contribution Badge!"

Aoun recognized the badge in Lei Luo's hand at a glance. He was stunned for a moment in disbelief, then reacted and said in shock: "Classmate?"

Several people were shocked by Lei Luo one after another. They didn't expect that this civilian who was casually chatting with him on the roadside was actually a scholar who was enrolling at the Gran Academy of Natural Sciences!

Lei Luo sighed: "Antonio Pioneer said that the progress of knowledge lies in the process of constant self-doubt, while pious faith requires constant self-firmation, so you can never have both. I...betrayed my faith."

Lei Luo's tone was a little disappointed.

Aoun disagreed and said excitedly: "If I believed in the God of Light, I would have asked my father to donate the gold coins that I have used for my studies and experiments over the years to the church to change my title! Compared to believing in the God of Light, boring readings day after day The Festival of Light and the challenge of never-ending achievements in the cornerstones of mathematics excite me even more! They pity me for not having faith, and I pity them for their ignorance! Hahaha!"

For a moment, the elf girl who was supposed to be the protagonist turned into Lei Luo.

Aoun continued: "Great, we will be classmates from now on! You have a contribution badge. After you arrive at the academy, the academy should arrange an enlightenment tutor for you. Do you plan to study the mysteries of evolution?"

Looking at the enthusiastic and excited Aoun, Lei Luo responded: "Huh? I don't know either. But let's talk as we go. If those mercenaries come back, it won't be good. Let's ask this elf by the way... …Ma’am, what happened.”

"Yes, good!"

Aoun responded suddenly.

After everyone packed up the camp, Lei Luo and the elf girl followed Orn into the carriage and continued to move forward under the escort of four knights.

As the sun gradually rises, the fog in the forest gradually dissipates.

Along the way, Lei Luo used his almost never-used Elf language to communicate with the Elf girl. Together with sign language gestures, he finally figured out the other person's life experience.

"My name is Kerelina, and I come from the Moon Tree Tribe. When I went out to collect honey, those bad guys caught me and brought me here. Oh wow, I'm so scared..."

Sure enough, she was an elf slave girl captured and sold by those mercenaries!

"Captain Basel's guess is correct. This group of crazy mercenaries sell elf slave girls for gold coins. They actually base their own happiness on the pain of others. They capture innocent elf girls as slaves of those decadent nobles to satisfy their lust + Evil+desire+desire damages the reputation of the principality!”

The female archer outside the carriage gritted her teeth and kept patting the elf girl on the shoulder through the curtains, comforting her heartache. At the same time, she looked at Ornn with eyes full of admiration, admiring Ornn for his rationality and justice.

Aoun said: "Although those mercenaries are hateful, the really hateful ones are the corrupt nobles who raise elf slave girls! I have long heard that some corrupt nobles have devout faith in the God of Light on the surface, but they do some things secretly Dirty and dirty things, as evil and depraved as the wizards of the Dark Ages!"

Lei Luo opened his mouth, hearing the word wizard, but he didn't know what to say.

The dark age when wizards were raging has long been history. This is an era ruled by the Church of Light. At least humanity maintains a good side on the surface.

As the only true god that mankind believes in, the God of Light has completely saved mankind from the years full of fear of death. The wizards, along with the Black Death they created, have disappeared forever on the burning rack, and only a few remain. Unable to recover the legacy of Feng Lang, he shivered and hid in the shadows of the corner, trying his best to hide himself.

Aoun did not notice Lei Luo's abnormality, and solemnly said to the elf girl: "I swear on the honor of the Ridge family that I will send you back home safely. I solemnly apologize to you for the Principality of Glen. Please believe that those dirty There are only a few dirty and corrupt nobles, and the vast majority of human beings living in this land have a heart that insists on light, justice, and beauty!"

"Thank...thank you!"

At this moment, the elf girl finally relaxed completely, looking at Ornn who was full of justice, looking at Lei Luo who was struggling to translate, and looking at the sympathetic female knight outside the window, she shed tears of gratitude.

…

Two days later.

Following the clatter of horse hooves on the bluestone road, Lei Luo and others finally arrived at Fort St. Grant, the capital of the Principality of Grant.

Although there are countless principalities in the human city-states established around the Aurora Empire of Light, there are only six large principalities that can be called large-scale. The Principality of Gran is one of the six large principalities among the many principalities of mankind.

The town of Agate Lake is located in the hinterland of the principality. It took Lei Luo less than three days to get to Fort Saint-Grand, but it took Aoun a full eight days to come all the way. This shows the size of the principality.

Only in these large principalities do they have enough financial resources to build the Royal Academy of Natural Sciences, establish the Royal Academician Committee, establish mercenary associations, etc., which offset the ruling power of some churches and allow the royal family to have more abundant secular rights.

As for the numerous small and small countries, their beliefs are often extremely harsh. The pursuit of truth and freedom has never been truly enlightened. Atheists are heretics. The so-called king is far less important in the hearts of the people than the church. Naturally, they have no ability to build academies of science and produce products. The so-called magicians and scholars.

Boom...

The magnificent bell rang.

Through the curtains of the carriage, Lei Luo looked through the gorgeously dressed St. Grant's Castle passers-by on both sides of the street and looked at the St. Grant's Cathedral of Light in the distance. He couldn't help but murmured in a daze: "It's so magnificent."

The pure white dome marble church is a hundred meters high!

From a distance, the church seems to be shrouded in a golden cloud. It is the holy light that is almost condensed into substance by thousands of devout prayers. It gathers on the top of the church where every inch is called art.

When the bell rang, passers-by stopped what they were doing and made a gesture of prayer, even the few young knights responsible for escorting Ornn were no exception.

"It is indeed great. The God of Light always likes miracles."

Only the middle-aged knight leader agreed.

Lei Luo noticed that although the other party saluted slightly, he did not pray.

Aware of Dorello's gaze, the middle-aged knight leader with a metal helmet, his eyes still possessed the rational light of self-thinking, calmly said: "I believe in the goddess of wisdom."

The goddess of wisdom is one of the many gods under the True God of Light.

Then the middle-aged knight leader looked at the elf girl next to Aoun, with some love in his serious eyes, and continued to Lei Luo: "After you and the young master register at the academy later, we will be responsible for sending her to the maid. The Soldiers Association will issue corresponding tasks to ensure that she returns to her home safely."

"kindness,"

Lei Luo didn't say much.

On the other side of the carriage, Aoun was holding a picture book and looking at it with the elf girl. It seemed to be an illustrated book recording ancient monsters. The elf girl was reading with gusto. Her long white fingers kept turning the pages of the book and her long and narrow eyelashes blinked. Blinking, temporarily forgetting the sadness.

Aoun glanced at St. Granburg Cathedral outside the window and said rationally: "According to mathematical logic, even the Creator of Light is not omnipotent, because he can never create a stone that he cannot move, so the law of truth must exist. Above the Creator of Light is a being that it cannot affect.”

Lei Luo was startled and looked at Aoun in disbelief, as if he had been enlightened by unprecedented wisdom.

yes!

If the Creator of Light can create such a stone, but cannot move it himself, how can he be called omnipotent?

And if he cannot create such a stone, then he cannot be called omnipotent!

In an instant, Lei Luo's fear of the Creator of Light because of his sorcerer's legacy was reduced a lot. He also had a fear of publishing "The Mystery of Evolution" and the laws of truth that Antonio had been pursuing for hundreds of years in front of Aurora's Cathedral of Light. The rules of truth upheld by burning scholars are full of confidence.

The Creator of Light is by no means omnipotent!
