During the conversation with Laurent, Lu Yu truly felt his profound wisdom and vision beyond ordinary people.
Having been in charge of the Theocracy for eighty years, he has analyzed the future situation of Mera deeply and clearly, except that Serra is sitting in the position of God's Chosen and has corresponding knowledge reserves about it. He can deeply understand the logical relationship between each other and the path.
Yu and Lulu couldn't keep up with Laurend's rhythm at all, and sometimes they could only passively listen to the answers he gave.
The snow monster's loyalty and bravery were affirmed by Laurend, but he was also judged by Laurend to die.
Without external interference, Solon would only be too big to fail and die but not stiff, just like Melias back then.
Internal conflicts in Codezoun will be suppressed, but will eventually erupt in an extremely violent manner, directly destroying the ruling structure.
Sligowu is full of virtue, and the monarch seems incompetent and fatuous, but he delicately maintains the balance between the new aristocracy and the old aristocracy.
…
After a long conversation, Sierra put away her notes with satisfaction.
Lu Yu and Lulu understood one thing no matter how stupid they were.
The gifts given to children are external objects that can arm themselves, and the gift given to them is "wisdom."
Not everyone can receive Laurent's teachings. Even the bishops and high priests of the Theocracy rarely have the opportunity to receive teachings in private.
This is actually the reason why some people don't like Sera - a rabbit was picked up and became the chosen one. He was also favored by the Pope and taught him personally.
If it were Lu Yu, he would also be jealous.
Serra's outstanding ability must be attributed to the Pope. Those who saw Serra rising to high positions step by step must be very reluctant. Those who are jealous of her may even think that if it were themselves, they could have such outstanding achievements.
Sera and Lulu took the "children" downstairs first, while Laurend left Lu Yu alone.
"You seem to have something to say to me."
There is nothing better than being caught by the teacher while being absent-minded during "class".
There were only two people in the room at this time. Lu Yu took a deep breath and said bluntly: "Are you planning to let Sera take over and become the new pope?"
The position of the Pope has been undecided for a long time. After getting in touch with him during this period, Lu Yu did not think that Laurent was clinging to power. He was curious about the real reason behind it.
Laurent tilted his head slightly to one side, with a weird smile on his lips: "Why do you have such an idea... Oh, I understand, you are worried that after Sera becomes the pope, she will repeat the story of me and her?"
"ha?"
Lu Yu only felt that Laurend had just swung a heavy hammer and hit his head, making it buzz.
"You reacted very well."
"teach…"
"Well-"
"Okay, I just want to say that it's hard for me not to react to what I said just now."
Laurend's face was full of curiosity: "So you prefer the Crimson Witch?"
"Huh?" Lu Yu lost his voice again.
"This reaction was miscalculated, is it Xu Mo or Sigrid?"
Lu Yu covered his forehead: "Why do we need to discuss such a topic?"
Laurend moved to the bed, and Lu Yu quickly stepped forward to help him.
Arriving on the balcony, Lu Yu and Laurende looked down and saw Sera and the others sitting on the stone table in the courtyard, smiling and talking about something.
"Lu Yu, do you know that Sera actually has no friends. Apart from Lulu, you are the people she mentions the most, and she also brought you here...you are the only person of the opposite sex."
"So you naturally think that she likes me?" Lu Yu said, "I have to admit, Sera is really good-looking, and her way of thinking is the same as mine. We often think about each other, but this does not mean that we are
Is there any special relationship between us? I have to say...we are just collaborators with a common purpose."
Laurent did not answer, but looked at the silver maple trees swaying in the breeze. After a long time, he said: "The way you deal with the great turmoil is to build your own manor and hide away, right?
"
Lu Yu nodded and admitted that he would not leave the manor until the great turmoil was over. After all, in times of turmoil, it was hard to say what would happen.
"Let me think about it... Sera must have told you that she would stay in the Theocracy and not act with you, right?"
Serra's thoughts were simply one-way transparent to Laurend, and he was right on target.
"I have a way for Sera to go through the turbulent times with you without losing the status of the Theocracy. She must have a place in the manor you and Lulu plan... Can you promise me this?"
Lu Yu was stunned for a moment: "We should not interfere with Sera's decision. She has her own decision, and we must respect it..."
"After my death, the Theocracy will not be stabilized soon. Sera is my hand-picked divine choice, and she is also one of the people who receive the most care from me and is the closest to me. Lu Yu, come and tell me, she is staying here
The Theocracy, what will happen?”
Lu Yu was shocked.
Laurent's reputation is so great that throughout Mela, no matter what country or race, his legendary deeds with the Theocracy are spread. Judging from the past events that he can even mediate vendettas between feuding races, it is said that human races and alien races are all
It's not an exaggeration to give him some face.
This is external, but within the Theocratic State, since Laurende became seriously ill, the entire Theocratic State has still been operating normally. Although some people can't help but want to do something, they are just eavesdropping, sneaking in to steal information, and other petty theft behaviors.
No one dares to overstep his authority, and no one dares to make trouble while he is alive.
The violent organs and functional agencies of the Theocracy only obeyed Laurend's orders. Countless believers spontaneously prayed for Laurend, hoping that the God of Glory could delay his summons.
This prestige is so strong that even if Laurent dies, there will be no sign of him leaving.
The new pope is faced with scalding tea, a daily routine where he will be compared with Laurent no matter what he does, and the team members are all Laurentians left behind. It is inevitable that his mentality will be unbalanced.
Serra is not one of Laurend's team members to pave the way for the next pope. She is more like a beacon set up by Laurend to strengthen believers' worship of the God of Glory. In this environment, if Serra
If you still want to move freely within the church, you will inevitably be greatly criticized. At least when the new pope just took over, he will definitely do something to disparage Serra in order to establish his authority.
Laurend saw the sudden change in Lu Yu's face and patted him on the shoulder with appreciation.
"Let her leave temporarily until the dust settles. If she still wants to come back, let her."
Lu Yu swallowed and spoke with difficulty.
"You also think that the God of Glory does not exist, don't you?"
These words require great courage. According to rumors, Laurend is the most devout believer in the God of Glory and has worked hard to practice the doctrine for eighty years.
Laurent looked at the silver maple tree in the distance, its branches swaying in the breeze, with firm eyes: "It doesn't matter whether it exists or not. What's important is that they need the God of Glory."
"Lu Yu, you are still young, and you may not be able to think clearly about some things, and you may think that non-existence is tantamount to deception in black and white... But in my opinion, you and I can both be the God of Glory."
"The first miracle sent by the God of Glory was to cast light in the pouring rain. When the rain stopped, those who were illuminated by him naturally became his first believers. He saved people in despair and allowed them to have courage.
Looking forward to good things happening tomorrow, this is the meaning of the existence of the God of Glory...A lot of beautiful things have been lost in this era. People are numb and painful, and they need some hope to make them less painful."
"They needed it, so I stood up..." Laurend said with a surge of pride in his old age, "I practiced all the doctrines of the Lord with practical actions, and built myself into the glorious god of glory on the earth.
Incarnate, do my best to spread this light to more people. Use the accumulated prestige to let the merchants and nobles give up one more grain of rice and one more copper coin for the poor people, so that those who are in shackles can
Those with collars received less whipping and more meals... I secured for them benefits that are difficult to obtain in this era, allowing them to live with more dignity."
"I have walked this road to the end...I have walked a whole life. It is too tiring and too painful, but I did it." Laurende asked seriously, "Now do you think the God of Glory exists?"
Lu Yu was left with shock and deep admiration.
"He does exist"
Laurent said: "I will not hand over the papacy to Serra, because I know that she is as responsible as me..."
"Then the future of the Theocracy..."
"The path of future generations will be taken by future generations. I have done enough... If one day in the future, a god is really born from this vast prayer and condenses into a true god of glory, then he will definitely not
I will be angry at the decision I made...I have served a god who was not born for eighty years. I voluntarily put on a mask for the glory in my heart, deceiving myself and the world...I have done everything, and I am tired of this.
Life."
"I will write my last wish under the silver maple tree - one day the God of Glory will be born... Please don't call me back."
"Your loyal shepherd only wants to pursue peace in his heart and travel far away with the girl who has been let down."
"If you are truly kind, please grant me your soul, stay with her forever, and repay all the obligations you failed to fulfill during your lifetime."
