Regain the Holy Light?

Amber said in a word, and Gao Wen asked again, she didn't know anything. She only said that Wright had just returned to the territory and has now returned to the church.

"You look at the construction side," Gao Wen hurriedly replied to Rebecca, and he pulled the amber that was preparing to slip. "You go with me to see Wright."

"Hey, don't pull me... I choose you in the dark night, you don't know... I am in the dark night... I am in the Church of the Light and I am awkward..."

The weak protest of Amber quickly disappeared into the air. The short melon was placed under the arm. It took a long walk to go straight to the church. The two came to the chapel that was built by Wright. .

At this moment the church was not open, but the door was not locked. On the gate of the church, a white dead daisy was quietly inserted in the gap of the door panel.

Gao Wen glanced at the dead daisy, then gently pushed the door open.

A tall, burly figure stood in front of the preaching desk. He turned his back to the door and was wearing a scarred Cecil's armor. The sun shining from the side window fell on the shoulder of the figure and swayed. Glow.

On the faint illusion of the glow, it seems that something has flashed away, but when he looks at it again, what he sees is only the dawn of the dust when he flies in the sun.

Gao Wen went to Wright, and the sound of the footsteps echoed in the empty church hall. The figure in front of the preaching station shook a bit. Wright turned his head and saw Gao Wen’s salute: "Lord, I am Going to report to you..."

"It's okay, I see you the same," Gao Wen put his hand on, and noticed that there was a shocking wound on Wright's face. The wound stretched from the left forehead to the cheek, I am afraid it would be deeper. Walking one of Wright's eyes, and at this moment the wound has healed, leaving a deep scar. "...It seems that you have experienced a lot of things."

"I...regained the light," Wright lowered his head and spread his palms. A group of clear radiance emerged from the air almost immediately, gathering on the palm of his hand. It ignited the holy energy in the air, and made him whole people shrouded in a halo of light. "I never felt... the relationship between me and the light is so close, it turns out that it is always by my side. Around each of us, just like the magic in nature..."

Gao Wen quietly watched the light flowing in the hands of Wright and slowly dissipated, then curiously asked: "How did you do it?"

"I don't know all the reasons behind this, but maybe I found the real path of the light," Wright's voice began to hesitate, but it became firm and strong. "Lord, you remember that you asked." Have you ever said my words?"

Gao Wenxin feels a little hidden: "About your faith?"

"Yes, you asked me, I believe in the Holy Light, or the Holy Light," Wright said as he turned his head and quietly looked at the back of the preaching platform. Gao Wenji remembered the **** of the light. The icon, but now, there is nothing left. "I think I understand what you mean now..."

The disappearing icon, the regained light, and the temperament that Wright’s body has changed quietly, Gao Wen’s mind has already thought of the general situation of the pastor’s regaining of the light, but he does not know how this amazing change happened. How did a devout believer break through his beliefs suddenly and break through the influence of the near-soul seal?

He couldn't help but ask, and Wright had been silent for a long time after hearing these questions, and then he quietly said: "Lord, you know what their squadron did after the aristocrats and the sacred gods were defeated. ?"

"I can probably guess." Gao Wen said quietly.

"We passed a village, on the edge of the Concord area... it was completely destroyed," Wright said quietly, his tone seemed to be indifferent, but when he spoke, Gao Wen could feel the faintness beside him. About the power of the light that floated up, "There are more than a dozen survivors in the village who have spent the night..."

From Wright's mouth and Amber, I knew the night that happened to Concord. I knew the aristocratic squad and the Holy See knight who were crazy because of hunger. I knew the little girl named Emily and knew that Wright had regained the light. The whole process.

After listening to Wright's story, Amber always had a look of regret and regret on her face. She frowned, looked up at the gloomy Gao Wen, and looked at Wright. In the end, I couldn’t help but pick it up: "The horrible aristocrats... and the gods..."

When she finished, she immediately patted Gao Wen’s arm: "Gao Wen did not say you, you are still different from them."

"I know, you don't have to deliberately emphasize it," Gao Wen glanced at the amber with a smile, then looked at Wright. "Although the light has been regained, you should still have doubts... otherwise you will not stand here thinking. I haven’t reported it for so long."

"I'm just thinking about some... I don't know what to think about," Wright frowned, sighing slightly, then he looked at Gao Wen's eyes and asked in a particularly firm tone. " Lord, I have a question."

"go ahead."

"The nobles, as well as the priests and knights, who claim to be protectors of the people, eventually do more robbers than the robbers. Of course they are damn. We can kill hundreds of nobles in this war. And the priests, but...what did it cause such aristocrats and priests? They were not degraded to this extent hundreds of years ago, even decades ago... We destroyed them today, but dozens After a few hundred years, will the people behind us also embark on the same path of degeneration?"

Amber looked at Wright's expression in an incredible way. He didn't seem to think that this question would be asked by him. In her impression, Wright was just a warm-hearted pastor who was quietly preaching and helping people everywhere in the territory, but he didn't expect him to come back. The question that will suddenly be raised later is almost a question of whether it makes sense to do everything Gaowen has done.

And this question...

Amber couldn't help but look at Gao Wen. She thought of the plans that Gao Wen once said. Regarding the disposal plan for the old nobility, she couldn't help but ask about the future territorial laws: "Yes, you were the original It has also been said that there is always greed in human nature. Even if the government office seems to be orderly and honest, as the territory develops and becomes more affluent, there will always be people who have been corrupted by power. If that is the case..."

Gao Wen looked at Amber and Wright, and he was not too surprised by the latter's problems.

It is not a matter of time to transform and establish a kind of thinking. Even in the case of constantly promoting new education and new ideas, even in the core circle around him, there are very few people who can fully understand his ideas. Wright had seen the battlefield with his own eyes, and it was normal to see such a question after seeing the corruption of the old aristocrats and the old church.

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

He asked the pastor who had regained the light in front of him: "Wright, what kind of group do you think the 'noble' is?"

"Noble..." Wright frowned. "They...the land and the owners and rulers of the people, and at least in name, they are the protectors of all of them...they have great power, and the kingdom is basically It’s just relying on them to work.”

"Do you think the 'noble' is good or bad?"

This time I answered the amber next to me: "The bad 呗right has seen it with his own eyes."

"I am also a nobleman," Gao Wen looked at amber with a smile. "There are also Viscounts of the liberation of slaves eleven years ago. Now the Princess of Glan, who has accepted the Cecil law, is ready to swear allegiance to Andrew. Leslie Lesley, they are all nobles."

"Amount..." Amber snorted and scratched his hair. "There is good and bad."

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

Amber and Wright face each other, it seems that I don’t know what Gaowen really wants to say at the moment.

Fortunately, Gao Wen did not make them confused for too long. He had some words that he had long wanted to say to the people around him. At this moment, when the timing was right, he took a slight breath and said what he thought: "Noble or more Strictly speaking, it is the land aristocracy under the current system of Ansu. They are the absolute owners of land and population, and the makers and implementers of power. From the day of birth, the nature of this group determines their way of life. They have almost all the resources, and they have absolute authority to use them. All the civilians are just renters of their resources, or even part of their resources. The nobility does not produce anything, nor does it need to produce anything. They only Need to be parasitic on the land and the people, and take the nourishment from the latter...

"So, of course, they will not really pity and care about the lives and rights of the civilians, and because the resources come from the land, they care about the people, not even as much as they care about their land, even if they occasionally show their concern for the people. It looks like a person who cherishes the coins in his pocket. They will protect their own coins, but they can 'flower' those coins at any time when the price is right.

"They are self-proclaimed as protectors of the people. This is also true. In the era of wild pioneers, human beings have only limited resources to support limited protectors. In order to survive, we have to concentrate a lot of resources on several powerful ones. In the individual, let these individuals protect the overall security, and these powerful individuals are the original land aristocrats. At least in that era, their existence ensured the survival and development of civilization but after the end of this period?

“No one can control the land aristocracy, because they are both the owner and distributor of resources, and they are both the makers and implementers of the law, so they will inevitably become a group that is out of control, corruption, and degeneration. Even in terms of morality, their “corruption” can not be regarded as corruption. It is just a natural change in a group that grows and grows in a nutrient-rich environment, just as a plant grows in fertile soil.

"In this case, the land nobility will always remember that it will never give up their resources and privileges, just as a plant does not take the initiative to pull the roots out of the soil, in this case, even occasionally. There are one or two 'good' land aristocrats, and they will not change the overall attributes of the land aristocracy. Because the nature of this group has not changed, their way of life will not change, as long as they also occupy land and enjoy privileges. With the resources in mind, their group will inevitably follow the path of parasitic land and people and rely on the latter's nutrients to survive, and their so-called 'people's protectors' will complete resource allocation with all land aristocrats. After forming a relatively stable ruling structure, you can think of those high-sounding 'noble wars'. In the 'noble wars', did they take up swords to protect the people?

"And this concept has expanded. The current Church of the Light and the land aristocracy are the same. Only the resources occupied by the land aristocracy are the land. The church possesses the beliefs and the magic. The privilege of the land aristocracy is the law, the privilege of the church. It is the classic interpretation right."

Gao Wen said that he paused here. He looked at Wright and Amber who were contemplative and continued: "So we went back to why the aristocrats would corrupt and fall into this. The answer is that they will inevitably become corrupt and fall into this way. There are several enlightened lords in the nobility, and they have nothing to do with how brilliant they have been. This is purely determined by their inherent attributes, so Wright, I can tell you with certainty that we can eliminate hundreds of battles in this war. Thousands of nobles and knights, but as long as the group of 'land aristocracy' still exists, even if we kill this batch of land aristocracy, the new land aristocracy will appear sooner or later, even from our descendants.

"So from the beginning, this war was not only to destroy the bodies of the nobles, but to destroy their roots. We are not doing this to destroy the more than forty lords of the South and to plunder their land wealth. The war is to destroy the whole of the 'land aristocracy' to which these lords belong, and to return the land and freedom to the people to carry out this war, in order to stop the next village that was burnt down by its own lord, and not to have another AI. Millie and the war.

"Wright, if you are interested, you can go and see my latest land allocation bill, and the promotion of land rights and people's rights in the school, in the newspapers, in the bulletin boards, perhaps You will understand why the Count of Hosman called for the soldiers to place 18 crimes when they declared war on Cecil. There are actually 11 of them related to the laws I have enacted and the things that are advertised on the territory. Because those who really want their lives will even have the lives of their children and grandchildren, at this point, they see quite clearly.

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