Chapter 494: The Cathedral

The white spire towered against the background of a blue sky, surrounded by the white clouds that drifted through the sky, glowing with a faint golden color, revealing a reassuring sense of sacredness, and as the carriage continued to advance, the bell tower above the spire was hollowed out, and the distant bell rang out along the wide street, and on both sides of the road, some people who heard the bell stopped their work or footsteps, folded their hands on their chests, and bowed their heads to reverently reverently recite something.

"In Issos, there is a time to pray every morning and afternoon, and it is said that prayers at this time can easily be passed on to the gods, and if they are religious, they may be able to fulfill their wishes. When Mickey arrived at the road to the white building, he finally became a little more energetic, and he wanted to point to the white building in front of him and say to Lu Tao: "This is the cathedral of Issos, and there is a cardinal here, but we usually don't see this cardinal." ”

Lu Tao then remembered that Mickey seemed to have said before that he had been taught in the school by the Holy See since he was a child, so he also pointed to the building in front of him and asked Mickey: "You went to school here when you were a child, and then you were brainwashed successfully, so you have to participate in the war with the demons to protect mankind?"

"Uh...... Don't say it so ugly, what is brainwashing?" Mickey twitched the corner of his eyes: "Now that I think about it, maybe I misunderstood, in fact, I didn't play much of a role in the war with the demons, so it's better to stay here and find a way to influence the nobles is what I should do." ”

Lu Tao glanced at Mickey suspiciously, and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Mickey hesitated for a moment, but still spoke: "I think so, in the history of human countries, nobles play a vital and irreplaceable role, only the king divides the rights to the nobles, in order to include the huge land of a kingdom, those nobles who are loyal to the royal family and then help the king to manage his country, this is a very good state." But that was before the arrival of the demons, after the demons became the biggest enemy of mankind, this system is no longer in line with reality, no matter which class of nobles, they have developed the habit of greedy for life and fear of death, when there is no way to exchange benefits in battle, especially when their lives are threatened, they will be afraid of death, for their own lives, anything can be exchanged, in addition, the aristocracy is still the most enjoyable class, they control a large number of people and land and productivity, but there is no way to have a beneficial impact on the war between humans and demons, but it has become a shackle, so I have been thinkingIf the shackles of the aristocracy on mankind can be lifted, will it be better for the future wars, at least the number of people will not be so small, what do you say?"

Lu Tao thought about it, the actual Mickey's idea is still reasonable, when all mankind is threatened, the class that still exists is not the way to help mankind get out of the predicament, because the people of the upper class can always decide who is sacrificed, and the people of the lower class are definitely not willing to sacrifice themselves for no reason, so the contradiction arises, and before they have gathered all their strength to fight against the unknown enemy, they must face internal divisions and arguments, so in those science fiction movies, why are human beings defeated by the ugly Zerg aliensOne of the reasons is that isn't it because the Zerg only have one leader, so they can concentrate on one thing?

It is a pity that where there are people, there is fighting, and human beings have to have their own feelings and their own personality

Animals, everyone's thoughts will not be the same, and the same ideas will change over time, so if you want to unite all human beings all over the world, unless you can play something that eliminates all human feelings, or create some mechanism to replace all human decision-making with three supercomputers, to ensure fairness and consistency, it seems that robots are the direction in which human beings should evolve.

Shaking his head, Lu Tao found that he seemed to be thinking too far, and in the face of Mickey's inquiring gaze, Lu Tao said: "Your idea may be good, but it seems to be difficult to do, if you can do it, I believe that the Holy See will not give up such an idea, right?"

Mickey nodded: " That's right, whether it is to suppress the power of the aristocracy, or to directly eliminate the class of the aristocracy, the Holy See seems to have tried, but the final result is not very good, although it is still possible to coerce various countries to obey the opinions of the Holy See by force, but if that happens, human beings are afraid that they will be wiped out in their own internal strife first, so the Holy See has taken a step back, hoping to let the nobles send their children to study in the Holy See school, and then instill some of their own ideas into these people, and then influence their parents. ”

Lu Tao glanced at Mickey: "So they succeeded, but you think very clearly." Now that you know the purpose of the Holy See, are you still willing to be brainwashed by them and become a force that binds your father and the nobility?"

"Of course!" Mickey nodded firmly: "No matter what, everything I do is for all mankind, and everything must be compromised for it in the face of the survival of all mankind!"

Lu Tao shook his head, Mickey's second middle school disease can be regarded as hopeless, this kind of person with a revolutionary spirit is a hero if he succeeds, but he will be sent to hell if he fails.

The carriage finally stopped, Lu Tao and Mickey jumped down from the carriage, and entered a square paved with white marble, the scope of the square was very large, except for the white marble, there was nothing else, so it gave people an unparalleled sense of shock, especially with the towering white church, there was a feeling of miracle architecture in front of them.

Naturally, the church and the square in front of it are also a miracle, the surrounding buildings are low one- or two-storey, and this church is already the tallest building in the neighborhood.

Magina, who had been in the carriage all the way, or in her room, finally came out, leaving the three carriages to turn around on their own, not knowing where they went.

Magina said to Lu Tao and Mickey: "You come with me, I'll settle you down first, and then I'll talk about the rest later." ”

Following Markina, the two walked into the cathedral, in the hall on the lowest floor, Lu Tao imagined that the scene of priests dressed in white everywhere did not appear, the hall seemed empty, only a young woman in a plain white robe walked over: "Lord Magina, Bishop Locke is waiting for you." ”

"Don't worry, you can take me to settle the two of them first, is there any room available?"

The young woman glanced at Mickey and Lu Tao and nodded, "Please follow me." ”

Passing through the empty hall with no people, and through a long corridor, we came to a large complex of buildings at the back of the church, these independent rooms are basically two-story buildings, similar in style to those in the church and those near the church, all of which are made of a large amount of white marble as a building material, whether viewed from a distance or up close, there is a strong sense of sacredness.

Magina pointed to the front

said: "Mickey, you and Lu Tao will live here first, and then come to you after I meet Cardinal Locke, remember, if there is nothing to do, don't run around, there is everything in the room." ”

Lu Tao and Mickey nodded, and watched Magina and the young woman in the white robe leave, before turning around and entering the white two-story building.

"Oh, it feels good!" Lu Tao looked at the neat furniture and whitewashed walls of the white building, as well as the huge transparent windows, feeling that this place was comparable to the five-star hotels that Lu Tao had seen on TV.

"That's nature. Mickey nodded with honor: "This is a place to receive bishops and nobles from other places, so naturally we have to do our best, but although I have been studying here, it is the first time I have come here, let's go and see the rooms above, there should be a lot of rooms here, and we finally don't have to squeeze another room." ”

The room on the second floor is indeed as Mickey said, the number is not a lot, the style is basically the same as the living room below, Lu Tao and Mickey chose a room as their bedroom, and then they each began to rest, after all, they have been running around for the past few days, and such a bright and clean environment is really refreshing. Especially these bedrooms, they all have a small washroom, Lu Tao tried it, there is actually hot water that can be used for bathing, he is naturally not polite, take a good bath, and then lie on the soft bed, and fall asleep after a while.

......

When Lu Tao woke up again, the sky was already dark, and through the window, he could see the twinkling stars outside, blinking his eyes one after another.

After shaking his head that was a little drowsy because of the wrong sleep time, Lu Tao got up, went to the bathroom next to him to wash his face, and then went to Mickey's room next door and knocked on the door: "Mickey, are you still awake?"

After waiting for a long time, Lu Tao didn't wait for Mickey's response, so he had to try to push the door, but found that the door was not locked at all, Mickey was not in his own room, and checked the bathroom again, and Mickey didn't seem to be there.

"Where did the people go?"

Lu Tao muttered, and came to the living room on the first floor, but he still didn't see Mickey, and when he was a little puzzled, the door of the living room opened, and it was naturally Mickey who walked down.

Lu Tao was a little puzzled: "Where have you been?"

"I went out there and asked for some news. Mickey explained to Lu Tao, but he didn't mean to continue.

"But didn't Lord Magina let me stay in the room well? Wouldn't that be bad?" Lu Tao was more cautious every time he came to a new environment, especially now, it could be regarded as the base camp of the Holy See in Issos, the capital of the Republic of Carr, and he should be careful and careful, so as not to violate any taboos.

Mickey shook his head, "Don't worry, have you forgotten where I went to school when I was a kid? Okay, Lu Tao, don't ask about the rest of the things, I'm going to go back and rest first, and I'll talk about it tomorrow if there's anything. ”

Lu Tao could only watch Mickey go upstairs with a somewhat depressed expression, completely unaware of what was going on, especially Markina, who said that she would come back soon, did not come back, which made Lu Tao a little uneasy.

Shaking his head, Lu Tao also went back to his room, but he couldn't sleep, so he had to lie on his bed and look at the stars outside the window, counting slowly, hoping to count a sweet dream.
