Luo Xier and Bo Li were walking in the corridor of the courtyard, and they could see some nuns and monks passing by.
"Huh, today's work is over again. Do you want to go get something to eat?" Bo Li walked briskly ahead, occasionally jumping up and down. It was obvious that she was in a good mood recently.
After walking for a while, she seemed to remember something, turned around and Luo Xier said: "I heard that there is an alchemy instrument recently purchased in a palace in the north of Aquarius Palace, which can be used to make ice cream. Do you want us to go there?
Look. I haven’t eaten for a long time since I came here. I really miss the days in Emenas where there were so many things to eat.”
"I won't go. I have some other things to do today." Luo Xier thought that she would have to go to Beinisi's place later, hoping that she would be there.
"Okay then, let's see you tonight."
Seeing that Lochelle was busy with business, Bo Li stopped disturbing her and turned to the north. Since she had recently become familiar with the nuns in the palace, running around alone was no longer as restrictive as before.
After watching Bo Li leave to the north, Luo Xier adjusted her clothes a little and walked towards the courtyard in the center of the Aquarius Palace.
In front of the inner palace in the center, four temple knights guarding the gate stopped Rochiel.
"This is where Lady Beenice lives and works. Ordinary people are not allowed to enter without official business or special invitation."
The armors worn by these four knights were white and cyan (#e4f4f5). Although they stopped Luo Xier, their tone was calm and asked what Luo Xier's request was.
"I want to see Lady Beenice." Luo Xier thought about how to let these responsible guards let go.
"Sorry, we can't let you in without proof or invitation."
"Can I ask what proof you need?"
"For example, you are the bishop of a certain city or diocese, or you have official documents, or you have an invitation letter from Lord Begnice."
"Is this okay?" After recalling her recent experience in the Sanctuary, Luo Xier took out the badge that was given to her when she was in the Judgment Division with the mentality of giving it a try.
The pattern in the badge is a cross between a torch and a long sword, with a red skull on top.
As the internal supervisory authority of the church, the Adjudication Division has the right to search and not be blocked. If they want to stop their actions, there must be extremely legitimate reasons, otherwise they will be regarded as violations.
"This..." After seeing this badge, several knights at the door were in a dilemma. Although the Judgment Department has special rights, Lady Beenice is Sequence 9 and a scepter priest. Without formal documents,
It is impossible to be arrested for obvious serious crimes, and such reckless behavior will obviously have no consequences and will only cause the dissatisfaction of the gentleman.
Just as they were hesitating, a nun wearing a uniform with gold-rimmed cuffs walked out of the courtyard and said to the knights.
"Let her in, Lady Beenice invited her."
Seeing the high-ranking nun in the palace's personal approval, the knights at the door breathed a sigh of relief and calmly stepped aside.
Looking at the young girl walking through the door, they secretly guessed what the origin of this young girl was. The people in the Judgment Department were always mysterious. They usually wore black robes and couldn't see their appearance. This was the first time they saw her like this.
Young members.
In the courtyard, the nun in white with gold trim was walking in front. She gave a brief introduction to the inner palace.
"This is the Inner Palace of Condensation, and it is also where the Priest of the Scepter of the Aquarius Palace lives. In order to prevent distractions from other people, few people come in, so it will be a little troublesome for you to come here for the first time."
"But after I say hello to them, you won't be blocked when you come back in the future. They are doing routine business. I hope you won't be offended."
Although the nun didn't know Rocher's specific identity, she guessed based on Beenice's personal instructions that she should be a junior whom the adults were very optimistic about, so her tone was very friendly.
"It doesn't matter, it was me who forgot to ask Lady Beenice at that time, which caused such trouble." Luo Xier followed behind and looked at the inner palace curiously.
In the middle of the courtyard is a large pond. The water in the pond is clear and transparent, and you can clearly see the white and light blue jade at the bottom. There are some trees planted around the pond. Although there are not many, the crown of the trees is lush, covering half of the pond, giving people a
A feeling of tranquility.
"This is the condensation pool in the inner palace. The liquid in it is produced by a sacred object in the palace. It can be used to treat injuries and illnesses, but it is usually diluted to reduce waste."
I didn't expect to see such an exquisite garden on a mountain with such a high altitude, and the liquid in the pond was not ordinary water, but the original solution of some kind of healing potion. Just scoop out a small tube and mix it with some common
With the auxiliary materials, you can make a good therapeutic medicine.
And from such a large pond, if all the liquid in it is taken out, tens of thousands of potions can be made. The accumulation of Aquarius is really rich. Lorraine Hill commented in his heart.
The two walked through several corridors, and the nun led Rochiel into the interior of a palace. After briefly signaling to several nuns, she took Rochier up a spiral staircase in the inner palace.
Go to a room on the second floor.
After passing through the curtain of fine pearls and walking into the room, the girl saw the person in charge of the Aquarius Palace, Beanies.
At this moment, she was sitting on a horizontal light blue sofa. The armrests were in the shape of waves. On the other side of the room was an observation deck with a wide view, overlooking the white cliff mountains below.
Seeing Luo Xier enter the room, the nun who led her also stepped back, leaving space for the two people in the room.
"Welcome, Miss Luo Xier, or Lord Sage Loland Hill." The priestess stood up to greet her, with a natural smile on her face. There were no outsiders here, so there was no need to hide it like before.
"Hello, Archbishop Beenice." Lorraine Hill nodded, and then sat down at Beenice's reception.
"We have become quite familiar with each other after our last conversation. I think Lorraine Hill must have something serious to do with me when he comes this time." Beenice said straight to the point.
"Yes." Lorraine Hill nodded, and then talked about some recent experiences, and then asked Beenice what she thought of Crancia.
"Actually, I don't have any dislike for Crancia. On the contrary, I rather like it." Biñes said. She took out two cups and poured amber clear tea for them. The tea was not hot, but
It is very cool, like a clear spring in a mountain stream.
"However, personal liking does not make me stand on your side. I have to consider the overall will of the church and the future situation."
"Let me ask the sage a few questions first."
"Please tell me."
"First of all, do you think people can be absolutely equal?"
"No." Lorraine Hill did not escape, but directly said the answer.
"Very good, it seems that Lord Sage is not a simple and naive person."
"Since people cannot be equal, why should we promote this concept?"
"Although absolute equality cannot be achieved, one can have equal rights and not be oppressed and bullied. If a country or organization wants to move to a new level and enter the next era, equal rights are necessary. It can greatly
Greatly maintain social stability and enhance the power of mutual division of labor and cooperation."
"Why is it necessary?"
Beenice looked at this young-looking girl with great interest. She thought Lorraine Hill would talk about some ideals of love and beauty, but she didn't expect this girl to be pragmatic.
"Because dominance based on personal strength will gradually be eliminated by the times." The girl organized her thoughts.
“With the continuous development of various industries and fields, the original production model based on individual entities will become increasingly difficult to adapt to complex and in-depth actual needs.”
Lorraine Hill knew that what he said was a little difficult to understand, so he began to explain.
"It's like building a knife and building a ship."
"In ancient times, a certain hero might be able to dominate the battlefield with a sharp knife and armor, but as the times progressed, no matter how hard he tried, he could not defeat a fully armed ironclad ship. Artillery bombardments and crossbows
His shooting can easily defeat this outdated knight."
"Then what if this hero is Sequence 9?" Begnice brought up the fact that extraordinary beings in this world can greatly bridge the technical gap.
"With the same population base, we can cultivate more Sequence 9s." Lorraine Hill proposed another concept.
Beanies fell into a brief thought.
"Other organizations and countries can also cultivate Sequence 9s. Why do you think your country can cultivate more talents?"
"Because we have more trust and respect." Lorraine Hill spoke of the most basic human nature.
'I believe no one likes to be bullied and oppressed. They take away your things at will, bully your family, and take most of your gains.'
“Once the rights in society are unequal, there will be plunder and oppression by the high-ranking people against the low-ranking people.”
"Although this is a good and comfortable situation for a few individuals at the top, for the country as a whole, it is a huge internal friction and will lead to its slow decay."
"My own children are not good enough or strong enough, so I will kill those who compete with my children. Perhaps this is extreme, but the price for nobles killing civilians is very small, allowing them to do many similar things, such as deprivation
Poor children are not given the opportunity to receive education, and resources are not given to them, etc.”
"They continue to stultify the people, just because the lower class have no ability to resist, nor are they aware of resistance, so they can easily drive them."
"As long as rights are unequal, the upper class will fear the resistance of the lower class and suppress it, thus creating a dilemma. In this way, the productive forces of society will not be liberated and will remain locked."
"No one will sleep peacefully under the threat of a long knife, work wholeheartedly, and contribute their wisdom and good ideas. In such a depressing environment, only a strong desire for aggression and destruction will be born. In serious cases, they will even choose to die together.
.”
"But the current world does not seem to be as extreme as you said. The Green Empire has such an obvious lineage theory. In a society ruled by aristocrats, the situations you mentioned do not occur." Biness said.
"Because it is still in a very primitive stage, many people are just farming, and not many people are involved in handicrafts. But with the progress of society, a large number of intensive workshops or factories have been opened, and the population density will be unprecedentedly concentrated, and as the society progresses,
The deeper the industry becomes, the higher the demand for workers’ education.”
"And when that time comes, a large number of educated people with certain thinking abilities gather together. How do you convince them to accept the fact that they are just slaves without any complaints?"
"They see complex and exquisite objects being produced from their own hands, but you tell them that one-tenth or even one percent of them is his reward."
"How can he be willing to face such obvious bullying without feeling any resentment?"
"Even if the opponent is an extraordinary person whose strength far exceeds theirs, resentment will still arise and accumulate. They are just dormant for the time being."
“With the development of the times, all walks of life will become more and more complex and in-depth, expanding from hundreds of industries today to thousands or hundreds of thousands of industries and positions in the future. Have fun when facing fields that you are completely unfamiliar with.
How should the higher-ups trust the resentful lower-class people who are oppressed by him?"
"Every time the chain of trust extends to one level, there is an increase in risk. When the chain reaches seven or eight levels, there may be more people inspecting and supervising than there are actually working people. How can a country develop in such a situation."
"It's not so much that love and beauty give everyone equal rights, but in fact it's because of equal rights that the country and society can enter the next stage and create a beautiful world."
"The primitive farming era will eventually pass. Many traditional concepts may not necessarily apply, even to extraordinary people. This is the choice of the times."
Lorraine Hill explains how equal rights create modern society from another perspective.
After listening to her narration, Beenice was attentive for a long time. When Lorraine Hill slowly drank the tea in her hand, she slowly came back to her senses.
Unlike secular countries, the people in the church are well educated, but most of their focus is on people's good and evil and inner peace. The solutions proposed are just enlightenment and peaceful acceptance of facts, which is like using softness.
The water slowly wears away the hard and uneven stone in my heart.
But Lorraine Hill put forward the idea that if a stone appears, it must be dug out from the source and blown up. If it enters the heart and makes people uncomfortable, the door must be opened and everyone can move the stone out together.
People cannot and should not deceive themselves into believing in the illusory theory of noble blood, ethnicity, or origin. Everything you earn is created by your own hands. This is true and magnanimous happiness.
The priestess looked at the silver-haired girl in front of her quietly, as if she had seen this girl clearly for the first time today. Under her frail appearance, she actually had such foresight and firm belief.
She closed her eyes slightly, pondered for a while, and then opened them again.
"Congratulations, Sage Loland Hill, Star Witch of Crancia, you have successfully convinced me."
"I promise to join hands with you to witness the coming of a great era."
