The high priest is an educated old man. Although she looks like a girl, she is actually eighty years old. She has been educated by her father since she was a child. She knows that now is the end and the future will be increasingly tragic. At the same time, she also knows very well about religion.
The stories are all false, there is no Ice Witch at all. The so-called savior killing the Ice Witch to save the world is just a beautiful lie, and there is no truth at all.
It's just a clever name that allows them to raise a banner and legitimately plunder and exploit well-wishers. But whether it's grabbing food, women, or exploiting slaves without restraint, these are all wrong. At least as far as the high priest is concerned.
It was wrong according to the education he had received. Although he said it was for survival and civilization, the high priest knew it was wrong.
But she knew it was wrong, and she didn't know how to change it. She could only continue to be more and more burdened by the whipping of her conscience. Maybe one day, like Dema, she would suddenly stop wanting to deceive herself, and then collapse directly.
I have to say that the high priest is indeed not suitable for this era, but he has done a good job. Although there is no breakthrough, at least he has maintained the operation of the slave city-state. However, after there are no external resources, she will probably only be able to watch on the sidelines and watch the slave city-state enter.
Civil strife, even ending, without any plan.
This high priest is a typical academic talent, and it is difficult to break through the upper limit of her ability. Her ability can only be mediocre, and she can only maintain the current operation.
Now Dulan proposes to use exorcism to treat the hero, and the soldiers around him think it is right. Only the high priest's face is ugly, because she knows the truth, but really doesn't know what to say. Anyway, exorcism not only tortures Dema, but also
There will be no help, because he is not possessed by evil spirits, but has lost his faith.
"You don't need to interfere with our affairs. Since you have listened to the story and watched the excitement, leave the food and you can go." The high priest saw off the guests directly.
Du Lan said: "Don't worry, isn't the story of these two people still going on? I think I have a way to cure Dema. If you are unwilling, then give him to me. I will do an exorcism, and it will definitely be possible."
efficient."
The high priest frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
"I want to help you. I discovered a shortcoming of yours, that is, you have a strong military externally, but there is no heresy trial internally. This is not possible. No matter how effective you are in catching heretics externally, you cannot stop the internal affairs.
Heroes like Dema have fallen, so they must build up arms and control internally. Dealing with heretics should be vigorous and vigorous, but heretics should be dealt with ruthlessly, and all ten tortures should be used. For people like Dema,
People who have lost their faith should be treated well, otherwise how can they convince the public? Aren't you worried that he will infect others and make others lose their faith?" What Dulan said is so reasonable, it can even be said that there is no problem at all.
In fact, the entire city is completely controlled by the mysterious bishop above the high priest who has never shown his face. In fact, it is a collective fear. Everyone believes that there is a very powerful bishop above the high priest, even if he never shows up.
It makes people fearful and not dare to cross the line.
But although the name of the bishop can scare people into crossing the line, it can't prevent them from falling. Just like in Dema's case, it's useless for the bishop to bully people.
"Since something has happened, it is not a miracle, because miracles have the attributes of being unique and non-replicable. And things that have happened, no matter how small the probability, will definitely be repeated one after another as long as they are multiplied by a large base number. Don't think
Dema took it lightly because of an isolated incident. If he loses his faith, more and more people will soon lose their faith." Duran said seriously: "If the Inquisition is not established, everything will collapse."
The high priest was speechless. Not only did it collapse, the world was doomed, and nothing good would come of it. Maybe it would be better if it collapsed, and she could escape from this cage. Obviously, she had been confronted by lies and conscience.
She was so tortured that she wanted to give up. She acted against her conscience again and again, feeling that the city-state was already a burden.
The high priest is not for the survival of mankind, nor for the continuation of civilization, nor for the lies of religion. She actually just doesn't want to live up to her father's expectations. Her father gave everything to her before he died, and she also protected the city-state.
After sixty years, she was really tired.
The high priest cannot find new power to solve the growing problem. In fact, the power lies within the city, but the high priest cannot see it, it is the enslaved blessings, they are the power of change.
It must be said that the high priests are the same as Shinji Ikari. They lack real feelings about great goals and only respond to the expectations of their loved ones around them. They do not have a sense of responsibility that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world.
When she heard a series of brilliant suggestions from Duran, the high priest did not even realize that Duran was simply a talent sent by God. Apparently, her subconscious already hoped that the city-state would be destroyed, rather than hope that the city-state would continue to develop. So there was no
After carefully considering Dulan's opinion, I rejected Dulan's proposal and didn't want to consider it at all.
Dulan thought to himself that this high priest was really not suitable to be the boss, because she no longer considered the interests of the city-state and only thought about her own comfort. The interests of the priest and the interests of the city-state were already in conflict, so although the surrounding soldiers felt that Dulan said
It makes sense, but the high priest lacks interest.
"When you're done talking, you can leave."
But Duran said: "I won't leave here. Not only will I not leave, I will also distribute free food and promote my ideas here. High Priest, I want to recommend this Ms. Katsuragi Misato to run for the city-state president with you."
Priestly office.”
"Ah?" What the hell was Misato Katsuragi saying? She immediately thought that Duran might want to control this city-state. If he could control it, it would be good. After all, population is power in the end of the world. The city-state has a population of more than 30,000 and can do a lot of things. It's just that
Why did Duran suddenly push himself out? But forget it, it’s the same for everyone. Misato Katsuragi still has a sense of responsibility.
The high priest was dumbfounded. These people really didn't treat him as a guest. But did they really have so much food to distribute? If they were willing to use their food to buy the city-state, then the high priest didn't care. She wanted to see Duran.
Can the city-state be deceived?
Duran asked the others to go back and make preparations first and send more food. He and Misato Katsuragi were preparing for the election here, and they must get the position of high priest by then.
Of course, the position of the high priest is not elected, but is sealed by the 'bishop'. Moreover, the high priest has been working for sixty years and is deeply loved by everyone. Want to bribe everyone to betray the high priest? You have to pay more.
How many people in the city-state have faith, and how many people have trade? The hero Dema has faith, but unfortunately his faith collapsed. If it were trade, it would not collapse so easily, because as long as there are benefits, then you will believe it, anyway.
It’s not a loss. If someone else gives you more and offers a higher price, then you must change your letter. After all, everyone has the needs and motivation to pursue a better life.
