In other words, at least more than 60% of angels can only be reformists.
This is because of their origins - they can become mechanical angels, which means that they chose the power of the church during the war of teachings, decided to stand on the side of the church, and voluntarily sacrificed their personality and consciousness just to end the war.
.
As a thank you for helping him assemble his prosthetic eyes, and also to help Russell "pursue the historical truth," Wu Ming finally spoke up and recounted that period of history that perhaps only those who had experienced it would know.
Because during the second legal war, the church was the one that was suddenly attacked.
The primitive church was first born in 452. At that time, they were not a unified church, but existed as different churches and different sects... People respected those who had lofty virtues and had various miracles of healing human flesh and bones.
Powerful saints, around them, organizations were established that imitated their actions, followed their teachings, and received divine power from various good deeds.
That is the original church.
But even saints with the same outstanding virtues have conflicting ideas. And unlike villains with flexible moral values, righteous people are unwavering in their path. As a result, various sects interact with each other.
There is a conflict.
Until the First Mage War - the elves gained the dominion of the world, and the giants, who were also immortal species, were exterminated. All mage factions and sects participated in this war, and countless people were forced to lose their lives in the war and troubled times.
If they do not practice the virtues they respect, the Holy Order will no longer recognize them.
Nearly all denominations lost the power of Holy Orders during that decade. The Church called it the "Decade of Lightlessness."
It was not until later that the church finally understood the operating logic of the power of Holy Orders - when they personally violated the precepts they believed in, the power of Holy Orders they received would inevitably be stripped away. So they formulated a unified canon and began to unify
Teaching history, compiling universal teachings, and scattered sects gradually gathered together to form a force that cannot be ignored.
Compared with the aloof mages, the church based on the basic principle of "good thoughts, good words, good deeds, and good nature" has a broader mass base. Moreover, the mages are still enemies of each other, but the church has been united and will also
further concentration.
So the mages took the initiative to provoke a war - their demand was that the church must limit the size of the congregation and disarm. The candidates for bishops and above must report to the local lord. And only with the consent of the lord, the church can carry out activities involving the local area.
The appointment, promotion, transfer and demotion of priests, and the church's operating income must pay high "church tax" to the local lord.
And everyone knows that those lords seem to be the ministers of the "dragon" who is the monarch, but in fact they are all mages.
Because "mage" is the military power controlled by the lords. At that time, almost all high-ranking elves were also high-ranking wizards - that was an era when half of the ministers were elves. And those few human lords and human ministers were also
They hope that they or their children can become mages with extraordinary power and long lifespan, which means that they must show kindness to the elves - they ask for help from the elves.
The best among them will be sublimated into elves and become true immortals.
"Everything is no different from now."
Wuming sneered and said: "Whether it is a company building or a mage tower, a director or a lord, there is essentially no big difference. It is just that magic has become money and power."
The church could not accept this request. This was the origin of the Second Mage War - the Law War.
When the war started, the mages had an absolute advantage. The power of Holy Order lacked offensive power, and except for a very few living saints in the church, none had the power of high-level Holy Order. Their high-end combat power was less than ten percent compared to the mages.
One. The reason why the church has not been completely defeated after three years of war is entirely because the mages themselves are also fighting among themselves.
"They didn't take us seriously from the beginning. They planned to use this war to eradicate dissidents."
In fact, if Father Andrew had not invented the divine descending device, the final result would indeed be like this.
In this case, those who were willing to participate in the "divine experiment" and become the first generation of mechanical angels were those who had ideals and dreams and had experienced the most miserable times. At that time, there was no Internet and these messy things.
Information, and there is no universal psychic chip, they cannot understand what "possibly covering the personality" means, and they all devote themselves to it with the determination to die. In other words, all angels must be idealists.
Because only voluntary and pure experimenters can complete the divine descending. Even if they have the slightest doubt and reluctance in their hearts, they will not be able to complete the personality fusion. They have seen the most painful and difficult time, and the pain that people are suffering now has no impact on them.
To them, it's a bit pretentious.
As for the "current suffering", they will immediately try to change it when they see it, and usually they can really do it, and the effect can be said to be immediate - this kind of action and ability means that they only need to treat the symptoms.
, instead of thinking of treating the root cause. If the suffering has not been eliminated, it will only be because their work efficiency is not high enough, there are not enough people, and they are not hardworking enough.
Just like it is not easy to develop agricultural technology in tropical rainforests where food is inexhaustible. Human beings will only think and seek the essence when they encounter obstacles.
The mages have participated in various intrigues in the dream world, but the team of angels is absolutely pure. Normally, they would be easily exploited - but before they could be exploited, they were directly frozen
One hundred years.
When they woke up, the world had become a strange place.
Wu Ming’s true appeal is actually to “let the angels become independent from the church and become a truly neutral force.” There are only a few among the top leaders of the church who have awakened to the power of the Holy Order, let alone those whose strength is comparable to that of the angels.
Saints. Not counting the Birds of Paradise, there are only ten such people, and all of them are elves.
After being frozen for hundreds of years, the angels generally became unable to recognize the control and jurisdiction of the now secular Cyber Church - the church was apparently in a parallel relationship with the Seven Giants, but in fact they more or less recognized and condoned it.
The angels are still willing to obey the orders of the church, just because the eleven saints are still willing to obey the Pope; and also because the Pope himself is the highest-level angel.
The eleven saints plus the pope - these twelve saints are the final link between the church and most angels. Compared with other "good people" they recognize, they usually respect the wishes of these twelve people unconditionally
, obey their orders.
But there is one difference between ignorance and those other angels.
He had been invited by the original Tower of Babel as early as during the French War. And he was not a civilian volunteer, but a bishop of the church - he had read the history of the church.
Therefore, he knew that the church itself was not a good thing. The name-seeking elves at the top of the church were the same group as the name-seeking elves at the top of the mages.
Director Amirus himself is a "living saint" who can be respected by angels; Chairman Selon is the living saint with the strongest power of holy order in the world today. During the period of the religious war, they were the church's
The main supporter. If he is a normal angel, then he must be full of respect and trust for these two people - there is no such "brother and sister-like trust" condensed through the power of holy order in ignorance.
.
He has always been full of doubts about these elf directors at the top of the church. He also does not trust the Pope, who is also an angel.
——Because the power of the Holy Order carried by ignorance is precisely "skepticism".
Just like Wuming's understanding of the power of holy order - he believes that the power of holy order is not to win over those who are "good people", but those who "can do good or evil". He does not
The power of the Holy Order is regarded as an inviolable sanctity, but as a "benefit that can be obtained after doing good deeds."
This is consistent with the underlying theory of Fuji Society, that is: good people and good deeds should be encouraged.
Compared with the church, the Fuji Society is more worthy of his dedication; compared with the Twelve Saints, the words of Ultramarine are more worthy of his obedience.
And his behavior of questioning the director of Amirus for the sake of outsiders is undoubtedly an act of "betrayal" within Mechanical Angel. Generally speaking,
People cannot understand this heavy price, but it has indeed touched the bottom line of the angels - it is a more radical move than rebelling against the church, and is basically equivalent to denying the sanctity of the pope.
It can even be said that when he went directly to Director Amirus without submitting an application for a meeting through church channels,
It can be considered that ignorance has betrayed the angels - such behavior is no different from intending to assassinate the Pope.
The deep sadness in his heart was something that Atzhan could not understand.
The reason why he did not wait for the Bird of Paradise or call the bugle, but did this alone was not only to avoid fighting with these two people, but also to prevent them from betraying each other for the sake of friendship with him.
No matter which side they were on, it would be unacceptable to ignorance.
——It is enough that I am the only one who bears the burden of sin.
From this perspective, maybe I have already joined the Tower of Babel.
Since the sin I have shouldered is equivalent to assassinating the Pope, if the outcome on Russell's side is bad, should I really take advantage of the situation and assassinate Amirus?
Late at night.
Like a dark snake, Wu Ming swam silently to the door of Director Amirus's house and fell into his final thoughts.
And just when he reached out his hand and was about to knock on the door.
Suddenly there was a warm hand behind him pressing his shoulder.
Wu Ming was suddenly startled, because he was completely unaware of the other party's approach - when he looked back, he realized that it was a tall, plump woman with a beauty as beautiful as the sun.
The woman showed a cheerful and friendly smile and asked carelessly: "What are you doing here, Wuming?"
"...Secretary Sailon."
Wu Ming immediately recognized the identity of the other party - his identity was only lower than the permanent secretary of the Pope, the highest authority within the Cyber Church.
The moment he intended to assassinate Director Amirus, he appeared behind him.
What this means is self-evident.
Sure enough, my actions and intentions have been completely exposed. As expected, Azhan is being monitored by the board of directors at all times...
When Wu Ming lowered his head to say hello and saluted, he felt the bitterness at the corner of his mouth and the fear deep in his heart.
but……
As the desire to die gradually emerged, another decision became clearer in his heart.
"I'm here...to ask Director Amirus something important."
Wu Ming replied neither humble nor arrogantly.
"It just so happens that I am too."
Chairman Sai Lun nodded readily: "Then let's go together."
After that, she opened Amirus's door without knocking and walked in first.
Wu Ming was silent for a while, then slowly but firmly swam in.
