For many people, the Holy Light is just a tool, but obviously, for Benedictus and many people, it is not like this.
"There is no doubt that the Holy Light is beautiful. It promotes everyone's beauty and everyone's hope. However, the Holy Light also has imperfections. Many times, people with the power of the Holy Light are not all perfect.
Those who act for the Holy Light do so for themselves. The Holy Light is a benchmark of virtue, not that all virtuous people possess the Holy Light, or..."
When he said this, Benedictus's face became gloomy. He was referring to those people who became bishops by relying on money and power.
They do have the Holy Light within them.
Some had it when they were young, but are now corrupted, and some are infused with the Holy Light and act for their own benefit groups, not for everyone, but they can still hold the Holy Light.
Others rely solely on the instilled Holy Light to prop up their appearance, and leave the specific matters to the monks and priests below, without any intention of taking the lead.
Therefore, the threshold for promotion to the top of Holy Light Church is not anything else, but the number of people you heal, care for, and heal with your own hands.
And the intensity of the final Holy Light.
But even so, there are still a large number of people who are not dedicated to other people and have entered the upper echelons of the church, so when he said the last sentence, Benedictus' tone became a little inexplicable.
"...Deserves the Holy Light."
When Li Ke asked like this, it was obvious that he was also a person who embraced the power of shadow. As for Li Ke designing a trap for him, there was no need at all.
So Benedictus got straight to the point.
When he came, he had already discovered the shadow believers in Li Ke's territory.
He just didn't know what had become of those shadow believers. He only had time to see those who prayed to the Holy Light but were still suffering from pain working in this place, and then they were sent here.
He did not notify Li Ke when he came this time, but came directly with a group of people. Originally, he did not intend to notify Li Ke, but just came here to take a look.
Although this behavior is rude, it is fine as long as it is not discovered, but if it is discovered, it will be very embarrassing.
But fortunately, Benedictus doesn't care about these false names.
He looked into Li Ke's eyes and directly asked the most important question in his heart.
"I'm very curious, Mr. Li Ke, in the hearts of the chosen people of Holy Light like you, what exactly is Holy Light?"
Li Ke looked at his temptation, chuckled, and told a very practical reason.
"tool."
He paused, and after realizing that Benedictus was not unhappy at all, he spoke.
"The so-called holy light is essentially a manifestation of positive energy. This energy will appear in positive people. As long as you think it is right, you can use this power. He will not refuse whoever comes. But in the past
Because of their insight and knowledge, as well as their inadequate understanding of society and interpersonal relationships, people mistakenly believe that those who possess the Holy Light are good people. This is actually a very serious mistake."
"People can change, and the Holy Light is not omnipotent. The Holy Light cannot change food and materials... It can only act as a porter, but human life requires eating food and using materials. So the Holy Light can only
It can be a tool, a tool that helps people do good and makes people willing to live in peace and stability, but it does not mean that the power of the Holy Light is everything. Many of the ideas of the Holy Light Sect are not completely wrong. In your era,
It is still very advanced, but unfortunately, the ideals of those who have the Holy Light in their hearts are often very ardent, and are in sharp contrast with the cruel reality."
Li Ke picked up a document, looked at the report on it, and sighed.
"So rather than saying that those who possess the Holy Light are good people, it is better to say that it is easier for good people to possess the Holy Light. This world is romantic, Benedictus. Idealists can really gain power because of their ideals, and because of this
He has the power to help other people, but he also becomes relatively independent because of this, unable to think of the power to unite other people and the real power to solve those problems."
The report is all about the behavior of the Holy Light Church in Li Ke's territory. Li Ke has never done anything about this huge belief system of humans, dwarves, and dwarfs, but the question is very interesting.
Because they do not believe in the only God such as Yahweh, the people of the Holy Light Church are quite open-minded, and a large number of grassroots believers are willing to sacrifice themselves to save them and enlighten them.
In this cold and dark world, it is not an exaggeration to say that this group of people is a light, a light that ignites the dark world.
Seeing these people, Li Ke couldn't help but think of what he had experienced in Lordaeron.
It's very interesting that most of the members of the Church of Holy Light in Stormwind City are 'young people' who came to support Stormwind City. They came here to help the people of Stormwind City because of their beliefs, without asking for anything in return or anything else.
Yes, it’s just to promote virtue and the Holy Light. It doesn’t even require you to believe in the Holy Light, it just requires you to move forward with virtue.
Li Ke felt that his conscience would hurt when he targeted such a group of people.
Benedictus listened to Li Ke's words, thought for a while, and then spoke.
"I understand what you mean. You don't think there is anything hypocritical about Holy Light. What really makes Holy Light hypocritical is this world."
Li Ke nodded and couldn't help but think of his own past.
In order not to be bullied, I wanted to become a Holy Light monk, and then marry the proprietress of the bakery in a decent manner.
But the result was that the other party and the owner of the blacksmith shop cut off all his hopes.
Then, the evil demon came here and killed them all, including his own hope.
If he had become a Holy Light monk, it would have been impossible for Metis to kill everyone, and he would have been able to marry the person he wanted to marry. It would not be like this now, just for those beautiful bodies and
They care about the interests and rights behind them and will not have any feelings for them anymore.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He will even try to assist Arthas.
So he expressed his feelings.
"Benedictus, it is this world that is wrong. There are too many mistakes in this world, to the point where ideals have become hypocritical and everything has become terrible. So it is the world that is wrong, and we must transform it.
The world, until the whole world is willing to accept our virtues.”
If he had been given a chance to become a human being, he might not have had the foundation and opportunities he has now.
Benedictus looked at Li Ke and felt greatly shocked.
If other people's ideals conflict with reality, he will feel that his own ideals are wrong.
But Li Ke is better.
He felt that it was the world that was wrong, and he, Li Ke, did not make the slightest mistake.
but……
Li Ke said ‘we’.
He nodded.
"Yes, the world is wrong."
All his questions were answered, why did Li Ke's territory look so weird, why did Li Ke recruit countless Holy Light monks, but did not have the slightest trust in Stormwind City Cathedral, why did Li Ke, here,
Only then did he truly believe in the existence of the Holy Light.
So he took a deep breath and said what he could do.
"I can make Varian die of disease."
Li Ke: “…………”
Rubbing his forehead, Li Ke took a deep breath: "No, Mr. Benedictus, I won't do this. Although I will definitely overthrow all kingdoms, it does not mean that Varian must die. He is just a
He is just a powerless person, and there is nothing wrong with his decision. The reason why things have turned out the way they are, is that the nobles are the problem. He can survive, and so can his son, and I even have to entrust them with important responsibilities.
"
He had killed enough friends, and he didn't want Varian to die too, otherwise he would really be alone in a sense.
But speaking of it, if Thrall was not an orc, he would still be his friend...
Benedictus was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said: "But, Mr. Li Ke, the risk of doing this is very high. If there is someone with evil intentions..."
"Then let there be no soil for people with evil intentions in this world. Varian's problem is a historical problem. He can't do anything. In other words, although he has to bear a great responsibility, all he can bear is
Just a little."
Li Ke was very clear about Varian's situation. This man really couldn't do anything while he was alive in Lordaeron. Whenever he wanted to do something, something would happen to the people around him.
It is true that in the original story, he killed Onyxia, the source of all evil, as soon as he came back, saying that everything was Onyxia's fault and never mentioned the purge of the nobles.
But in this world, Onyxia has been restrained by him early. Although she can still cause trouble, most of the time she only has human-level power, but she still makes Varian feel like dying.
It's obviously not her problem alone.
The problems of Westfall have not been solved in the Legion version, which already shows a lot of things.
"Is there no soil for people with evil intentions?"
Benedictus was a little excited. He also worked from the bottom and naturally had ideals. However, he found that Li Ke stirred up the old enthusiasm in his heart with just a few words. He also felt horrified in his heart.
, only then did he realize that in front of Li Ke, he had subconsciously exposed his true thoughts, and then he had huge emotional fluctuations because of Li Ke's few words.
This seemed to be a kind of spiritual magic power, but the power of the Holy Light itself was very easy to play with people's hearts. He naturally knew that Li Ke did not do this.
Rather, he did it subconsciously, as if... he was facing the Holy Light itself.
He bowed his head respectfully. Archbishop Benedictus, who was highly respected among the people of Stormwind City and even more popular than Varian, chose to surrender.
If it was just to ensure the survival of Stormwind Cathedral at the beginning, then now it is true surrender.
"So, Master Li Ke, what can I do for you?"
Li Ke nodded. He originally wanted to let these people go to Lordaeron with him to suppress the bandits, but looking at his map, he gave up.
Lordaeron just needs to go there himself.
His finger pointed at the Burning Steppes.
"Please give my engineering team more treatment. They are all good guys and should not die outside."
Benedictus looked at where Li Ke pointed and what he had heard, and nodded, but before leaving, Li Ke spoke again.
Because he thought of the wage earners that he had almost forgotten, his uncle had blackmailed his Huo Zhixing, and he had no time to take care of them for the time being, so he should take away his subordinates first.
"By the way, contact the Dark Iron Dwarves and tell them it's my order to help us build the city and rebuild it with the other dwarves. In addition, let them tell the orcs there and ask them to be more honest. I can
Help them find a new world to live in."
After Li Ke finished speaking, he stopped talking, and Benedictus also nodded and began to ask Li Ke about other things, such as Li Ke's views on shadows and some views on this society.
Ke didn't hide anything from the other party, he spoke directly and went about his business affairs casually.
But Benedictus kept remembering what Li Ke said as if he had found a treasure. Then when Li Ke had to meet with several workers' representatives, Benedictus also watched the scene where Li Ke met with the workers' representatives.
Then--
"Expensive carpets are nothing in the eyes of the incarnation of the Holy Light. In his eyes, the smell of sweat on the workers' bodies and the cinders dropped in the carpets are ten thousand times more fragrant than the perfume of the nobles and the fragrance of flowers, because one is
No matter how fragrant the perfume is, it can't cover up the filthy ghoul stench left behind by the worms who get something for nothing, and eat people dry. In his eyes, the real natural disasters are not those who move.
Corpses, evil magic, but these guys who get something for nothing, but take it as a matter of course. Their ancestors got everything because of their glory and sacrifice, but they say that their suffering has already been in their parents’ generation.
I have already experienced it in the era of...
What a shameless face! But here, I saw that he really felt that those workers were not much different from me. In his eyes, the aloof Archbishop Benedictus was just serving these people.
It is just a tool for ordinary people. Although it is a threat to his regime, he does not feel that this is an irreconcilable contradiction... This feeling is very novel, because he reminds me of my former career as a monk.
Although I don’t know why he dislikes sectarian organizations very much, but what he said about the establishment of a party based on a construction and idea of the future made me see the hope of the future of the Holy Light Church..."
Benedictus, who returned to his temporary residence, kept writing these things in his notebook. When he wrote this, he raised his head and looked at the families who, although they all looked the same, had their own unique characteristics.
During the happy scene, there was silence.
Then he smiled in relief.
"Since when did I start to think that I was the savior of this world? I'm just an ordinary person."
He chuckled lightly, and the huge shadow power in his body disappeared instantly, turning into pure holy light.
At the same time, N'Zoth also looked confused, because just now, his biggest chess piece in Stormwind City was Archbishop Benedictus.
The other party told him very abruptly that he should not look for him in the future because he was afraid that Holy Light would misunderstand him.
