Volume 2 The Northward Journey of the Iraqi People Chapter 58 The Meeting
The moon and stars are scarce, and the night is like water.
But this water is not a stop water, but boiling water, boiling very much.
At night, the East Town of Funkelan is a unique sight to behold thanks to the enthusiasm of its residents. The sincerity of the common people, who take pleasure in the plain, is always sprinkled with joy in their gestures. The strong aroma of wine, accompanied by the melodious melody coming from the strings of Lute, infects passers-by.
At this time, in the Cathedral of St. Ruskin, the "Five Peaks Conference" was secretly being held. Several elders of the Ecumenical Church were also quite in line with the situation, arguing hotly.
The church sat in silence, out of step with the excitement around him, calmly watching and listening to the arguments in the room, without a ripple in his eyes.
"Aren't you crazy, I've come all the way back just to listen to your crazy talk here?" Rondivan, who was in charge of the Northeast region, pointed to Ria's nose and asked in a loud voice, "Do you know how much I've traveled in the past two days? What a xxx... ”
Elder Frandivan was already angry and swearing.
Bishop Meng Pu, who was the secretary of the meeting, had a headache on his face, and he didn't know whether to write it down.
"You don't have to be embarrassed, write it down honestly, and don't miss a word. Of course, Ria has to write down everything he says. When the time comes, let future generations see who is the culprit of the destruction of my religion. Although Frandiwen's eyes were looking at Meng Pu saying this, the sharp edge of his words was directed at Ria.
"Yes, Ria, it's too presumptuous to form a church army, right?" Kandullah, the elder of the southeast region, also disagreed with Ria's proposal this time, "You used to have that kind of calm temperament, what happened this time?
Ria turned calm, and the corners of her mouth twitched and said: "What is presumptuous? What is presumptuous? What is calm? Like us, trapped in this life, without any achievements, this is calm? As soon as there was a slight change, he was subjected to such great abuse, and this reckless and reckless came out of some soil, and you were fiercely trampled back into the soil." What are you doing? You are killing the future of the Church!"
"Phew, people are instigated by you to go to war, and when the time comes, you will really kill the future of the church. Frandiwen said angrily, especially when it came to "stifling the future of the church", and he began to knock on the table in a hurry. One word is a hairy chestnut, I really feel sorry for this table.
"Well, don't get excited. Elder Boto said coldly, "This meeting is for everyone to discuss things, not for you to quarrel. ”
When the eldest Boto said this, the anger of Ria and Frandiwen dropped slightly, and both of them took two sips of tea from their cups and moistened their throats.
"Rie, actually, I'm curious, why did you suddenly make such a proposal, and you were so anxious to bring everyone here, did something happen?" Boto turned his face to look at Ria and asked, "You must be so excited, there must be a reason, can you tell us?"
Not only Boto, but several other people also have this kind of wonder in their hearts.
"Actually, I was bewitched. Ria lowered her head and looked at the black tea in the cup and whispered.
Looking at the look of loss on Ria's face, Frandivan and Candulla did not show any disdain, but chose to listen quietly to Ria's words.
The Lord said the man

I have to have a clear eye, and I actually... Lost in it. "He told me that we should build a free and equal country, and that every inch of land that was laid down should be given to the people, and beyond, to the common people." ”
"I've never heard of such an idea, just imagine, what a crazy idea, what arrogance to drive out all those nobles and build a kingdom where all living beings are equal... But if you think about it, isn't this what the Universal Venerable thinks?" Ria said as if to a cup of tea, her eyes not looking at the other four all the time.
Because it's always a process of self-persuasion.
For a moment, there was silence in the house.
The room was so quiet that it seemed as if the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.
Even Meng Pu, who was immersed in recording, put down the quill pen in his hand and frowned and pondered.
These people tasted the shock that Ria had tasted before.
"The man was a careerist. Ria continued, "Oh, he also said that the only way to completely destroy the Holy World Religion and turn everything in this world upside down is to start such a revolution. ”
"Have you considered it, then, how many people will die in such an unprecedented revolution?" Frandivan did not speak in the tone of opposition that Fang had just spoken, and the worry in his expression was real.
Ria smiled, as if she understood Frandivan's concern, but also as if she were self-deprecating, "I asked the same question as you. ”
"What did that madman say?" Mu Qizhen, the Northwest Elder who had not spoken, was interested at this time, and he looked at Ria with a curious expression and asked.
Ria sighed, "He said that the revolutionary revolution was originally made out of the revolution. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked again.
"Hey, where did you meet such a fool? Kandullah sighed.
After Mu Qizhen pondered for a while, he smiled and said, "It's really a fool." ”
"You brought us here because you listened to the madman's crazy words?" Frankivin was not questioning Ria, but seriously questioning.
"Oh, if you think about it, this man is really crazy. Ria smiled wryly, "It seems that I'm really crazy." ”
Frandiwen frowned and said: "The ideal is grand, but it is a bit unreasonable to ask us to take responsibility for his ambitions alone. ”
"He's got his ambitions, aren't you here?" Ria glanced around the crowd, "If not, then you don't deserve to sit in this room, right?"
The other elders stopped talking.
"Or are you indifferent to letting the Saint Cult of the Ages of the Sun always hold us down, and letting those ugly-faced nobles bully our members?" asked Ria in a low voice.
Even though the five elders usually hinder each other, no one has ever been selfish, it's just that everyone's ideas are different. Riya's words still set off a slight wave in the hearts of several people.
The ecumenical religion has grown steadily and gradually in their generation, but if you think about it, most of this is due to the previous elders. The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants just enjoyed the shade.
If you have the idea of "not seeking merit, but seeking no fault", then you are indeed not worthy of sitting in the position of elder.
"As beautiful as you say, I can't do it if I want to risk thousands of lives

。 After thinking about it, Frandivan said to Ria Zhengse, "So I'm still against your proposal." ”
Ria nodded in understanding.
"What do you guys think?" said Frandevan, glancing at the others. It seems that this elder in charge of the Northeast Region is not as firm as before.
"This is a major event that is the enemy of the world, and I really have no bottom in my heart. So... I do not agree with this proposal. Kandullah said bluntly.
"Alas, who can have the bottom in their hearts for such a big matter?" Mu Qizhen said with a smile, "But I think this proposal is feasible, not for anything else, just for that madman." ”
"Crazy! crazy! crazy... Kandulla shook her head and said in annoyance, obviously feeling quite unhappy with Mu Qizhen's statement.
"If he were an ordinary madman, he wouldn't have bothered him. Mu Qizhen explained with a smile, "So, this person must be unusual, right?"
Mu Qizhen glanced at Ria after speaking.
"His name is Alvin Ferry. Ria also raised the corners of her mouth, "Probably not many of you here have heard of it, right?"
"Oh, it's the painter. Mu Qizhen's eyes lit up, "What, the foolish person we are talking about is actually this guy?"
"You know?" said Riaci.
"A little heard, a little heard. Mu Qizhen smiled and waved his hand, "This guy is famous in the Duchy of Burr." I really didn't expect that such a painter would still be an ambitious figure?"
The Northwest Diocese in charge of Mu Qizhen was not far from the Duchy of Burr and the Duchy of Tiller, and it was not surprising that he had heard of Alvin.
"How can a market painter have such an insight?" asked Hakuto, frowning as he looked at Ria.
"He's not just a painter. Ria replied. He didn't mention that Alwyn had come from the south, because he didn't want to put him in unnecessary danger. After all, his relationship with the other elders was not good enough to talk about such a thing.
And he had weighed that even if he couldn't convince the other elders to pass the proposal to form an army today, there would be other opportunities in the future. But to kill Alwyn is to wipe out the wild ideas in Alwin's head.
In general, Ria still cherishes her talents.
"Don't go too far, we're not here to talk about mad painters. Frandiwen said coldly, "It's two votes against two votes now, what do you say, Boto? The fate of our church depends on your vote." ”
"Phew, you're going to put pressure on you. Boto smiled and took a sip on Frandivan. Then he looked at Ria and said solemnly, "I don't agree with your proposal either. ”
Frandivan and Candulla finally breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.
But Mu Qizhen smiled and said nothing.
Ria was calm, as if she had expected this outcome. Depressed and lost? Not really. On the contrary, he felt a little relieved, and the psychological burden of the past few days has been relieved a lot after being vetoed by three votes.
"But there's a compromise. Hiroto said with a wink.
"Huh?" Ria asked.
"You can raise an ecumenical army in your northwest. I agree with that. Hiroto said with a smile.
"How can this be!?" Frandivan and Kandulla glared at Boto at the same time, and the two of them cried out almost in unison.
