Dedicate science to a better world

Chapter 40 Dragon can only help you so far

After leaving the cathedral, Ruby began to visit the headquarters of the Holy See alone. As the headquarters, it is naturally incomparably magnificent and glorious. There are many people coming and going in the huge courtyard. For strangers, Ruby also takes a second look before going. After doing his own thing, Ruby also wandered around by himself to the area open to ordinary people, the mural lobby.

Most of these simple and abstract murals depict the greatness of the God of Light to preach, but most of them are fabricated by people, and few of them are real.

"Young man, are you interested in murals?"

Just as Ruby was observing the stories depicted in these abstract murals, a stranger's voice suddenly came from behind him. A clergyman wearing a red and white robe appeared behind Ruby at some point, and asked with great interest. road.

"Well, I can roughly understand it."

Ruby looked back at the opponent's appearance. At first glance, he was almost blinded by the dazzling light. After taking a closer look, he found that the opponent's bald head reflected the magic spar on the ceiling. This middle-aged clergyman doesn't even have eyebrows.

"Really, young people with wisdom roots like you are rare. Do you want to join the religion? As long as you believe in the God of Light, you will have the opportunity to learn divine arts. It is also possible to become a cardinal like me in the future."

Everyone could understand the polite words in front of the cardinal, and he didn't seem to be able to say anything nice, so he quickly revealed his true colors and tricked Ruby into a religion.

"No, I don't believe in evil, I believe in science."

Ruby quickly refused to join the religion. As a native of the earth, he has always been an atheist. Even if he was saved by God, he didn't think that young man was a god, but regarded him as a person with extraordinary abilities.This incident is also quite ironic. At the end of the earth, countless believers of gods called on the gods they believed in to ask for blessings, but in the end only Ruby, who did not believe in gods, survived to the end.

"Why don't you believe it? The God of Light really exists. We can have the life we ​​have now because of God's protection."

"I don't think it's right. I can have this kind of life because I created it. Although a person who claims to be a god helped me, I can get food because I hunt by myself. I can get money because of my labor. So, these have nothing to do with God, if I can have food while lying in bed, I will believe it.”

"You, you, you, what you said is really reasonable. But I think people still need faith. What if God hears your prayer when you are in trouble?"

The bald bishop was left speechless by Ruby's remarks. He had encountered many people who refused to preach before, but this was the first time he had encountered someone who refuted God with himself, so that he could only be stubborn. Just continue to deceive.

"Then I would rather believe in Akuya."

Ruby actually didn't believe anyone, but he could also see that if he didn't agree, the bald head would stick to him all the time, so he could only talk nonsense, because he now knew two gods.

The Holy Empire does not limit the vices of religion. Maybe in other novels, after saying this sentence, Ruby will be captured by the Heresy Interrogation Bureau, tortured and tied to the stake, but here it can also make the bishop sulky. .

"The goddess of water again? You pagans, aren't you a goddess? If the God of Light is also a female, it will definitely be more popular, really!"

Mentioning Akua's bald bishop's face changed, and he cursed a lot of things like 'men are animals that think from the lower body', probably because most of the believers he persuaded fell into Akua's arms.

"Look, Hans the Bald has failed in preaching again."

"That's right, this is already the No. 30 person this month. It's really embarrassing. Let's quit teaching."

The two law-and-order paladins beside the bald bishop grinned loudly. The young man in pure white armor showed no respect for the high priests at all, and talked about his experience as usual.

"You two little bastards, have you finished your work and chat here!"

Hans was furious when he heard this, he walked over and kicked the two people's buttocks to drive them away.

"The aura emanating from these people is very warm."

Although Ruby doesn't believe in God, he has a lot of good feelings for the Holy See. When Mouna talked about the Pope, he subconsciously felt that it was not a good place, maybe it was the kind of people who used the banner of God to inflict malice on people. place, but after seeing these people's behavior and the unpretentious expressions on their faces, I knew I was thinking too much.

"Do you think that the people in the Holy See are as harmonious on the surface as the novels in your head, and they don't do anything in the back?"

"Well, more or less."

"I'm not saying that the human beings in your world really have persecution paranoia. As long as the Holy See appears, it is basically a concentration camp for villains. Don't you think that if the god above the Holy See is a good person, he will allow the people below to use his banner. Do those shitty things? If the gods themselves are evil, why do they have to pretend to be kind to deceive a group of lowly creatures? Believe me, no god would be so boring."

"That's right, my thinking is a little rigid."

Ruby shook his head to admit his thoughts, and went to observe these abstract murals again. Finally, he walked to the end of the lobby and stopped when he saw the end mural. This is a very short mural, and the painting style is the same as before. The difference is full of gloomy and dark painting style.

The magicians on the mural seemed to be trying their best to resist someone, but their magic couldn't cause any harm to the opponent. There were countless human corpses lying on the ground, and all the humanoid creatures walking on the corpses had white hair and red eyes.

"What do you think?"

Bald Hans appeared behind Ruby at some point, asking like a ghost.

"A devil, eh?"

"The demons in the demon world are much friendlier than them. It was the darkest age in the human era. It was not only the devil Satan who was hostile to the God of Light, but also the Goddess of Nemesis. No one knew why she hated the God of Light. She did not directly Instead of launching revenge against the God of Light, they turned the finger on the God of Light's favorite humans."

"The creatures she created with divine power are the enemies on the murals. The bodies of these creatures are made of light, and no magic can harm them. They have only one purpose, which is to slaughter human beings. The total number of people under their attacks even Cut it in half."

"Did the God of Light help solve it in the end?"

"No, it's just that one day they and the Nemesis suddenly disappeared in people's records. Perhaps it was some agreement reached between the God of Light and the Nemesis, that's beyond what we can know."

Hans appeared as if he was just explaining the details of the murals to Ruby, and he left while touching his bare head.

"Is this why Moyuna is feared?"

Ruby finally found the truth that Mouna had been reluctant to mention. Of course he scoffed at this legend. He could find several explanations for Mouna's appearance casually. There are indeed many ignorance brought about by backward technology. .

"Are you afraid?"

Dragon asked suddenly, he wanted to see what his partner would think and do after knowing the truth.

"Legends are not credible. I only believe what I see with my own eyes."

PS, Mo Aotian: So I have such a big background! ?

PS, about the Vatican, the author is also an old bookworm. Anyway, in so many books I have read, the Vatican is really every good thing 233, and its status is the same as that of the big needle in Pokémon. You will think that [Aw, the villain is coming], the root is probably the shitty things done by the Holy See in our world (I said I will burn you to death if I can’t stand you) and blame him for a while under the banner of God, the author is very lazy I'm too lazy to write any conspiracy, it's nice to have a Holy See with a different style of painting occasionally, right?

PS, thank you for the 1000 tipping from the sloppy book friend Kerou, the 500 tipping from the starry night light book friend, and the 100 tipping from the hamletzhou and Qiufeng Yeying book friends
