Chapter 103: Death and Resurrection
As for our faith in God, there is a big premise involved, which is the origin of the world. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Mel spoke with great enthusiasm, and the people in the inner room of the study were dumbfounded, and no one stopped him, so he continued.
"How did the world come about? How did people and everything come about? We follow history upwards and find only the past of the past, but the past of the past still has the past. Nobody knows what happened during that time, because we were all born after that, and we didn't see the people of that time, and we didn't see the events of that time. ”
"We can come up with all kinds of hypotheses, but they are only hypotheses after all, and with human capabilities, we can't prove them true or false at all – at least not now, because we can't go back to the past. Even if we build a machine that we think we can go back in, are we really going back to the past? ”
"If we, as future people, appear in the past, is the past still the past? If a pebble falls into the fish tank, it will alarm the fish in the fish tank. If the future person appears in the past, it will also have an impact on the past. The future will be influenced by the past, and in doing so, the future will also change. If the father of the person who went back in time had not been born, he would not have been born. Even if he is born, what happens around him will change, making it impossible for him to become the person he was before he went back in time. ”
"To go back to the past is to deny the present and the future, so even if we could go back to the past, we couldn't do that. Unless we build a machine that can reflect images of the past, and have a way to be sure that the images it reflects are what happened in the past. But even then, our knowledge of the past is limited and one-sided. ”
"So we can only analyze it based on the historical data left by our predecessors, whether it is true or not, we can only do this. Our perception of history comes from this, what we see and believe, what we see and believe, what we see as history. In the history I have learned, God existed, created the world and all things, made laws, and gave humans the right to choose freely. ”
"But I believe in God not only because He created everything, but also because He is a God of righteousness, a God of wisdom, a God of righteousness, a God of faithfulness, a God of love, a God of forgiveness, and a God who will give all these things to mankind. I can't find a better being in the world than Him, so I am willing to follow Him and act according to His laws to change the world. ”
Mel's words brought tears to the eyes of the other three followers of the God of Light, and the expressions of the servants in the study were shaken. Only Moridin is still the old god, and he doesn't seem to be affected in any way.
Of course, it is impossible for Moritin not to be affected by these words. Having lived for more than 100 years, he naturally knows what trust and doubt are all about, and also knows that justice, wisdom, integrity, faithfulness, benevolence, and tolerance are extremely beneficial to human society. It's just that he has experienced a lot of winds and waves, and he knows that these are idealized things. In addition, he has long been able to control his emotions at will, so he did not show his inner wavering.
"No one is perfect, and what you said is too idealistic."
"That's true."
Maier agreed with Moritin's statement again, and Moritin couldn't calm down at this point.
"Do you want to pursue these idealized things, even though you know these are idealized things? You won't get anything by doing so! ”
"No, sir, you're wrong." Maier smiled slightly, "Change is not achieved overnight, and it is impossible to become a river or sea without accumulating small streams." Maybe I can only have a small impact on the world, but as long as my children and grandchildren have the same idea as me, the world will change because of them, and one day the dream will be realized. ”
"It's still idealistic, and you can't make sure that your children and grandchildren will think the same way as you. Times are changing, people's minds will also change, and there will always be a day when your thoughts will be eliminated. ”
"The truth will never change. If my thinking is eliminated, it means that what I am holding on to is not the truth, and this is what I deserve. My father told me that you must learn to bear the consequences, because the world is like this, what you sow, what you reap, you can't avoid it. ”
"I like that."
Moridin curled the corners of his mouth on one side, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"In other words, do you support my approach?"
"That's right." Maier nodded affirmatively, "But there are debtors who are wronged, and those who participated in the rebellion are innocent, but those who have nothing to do with the rebellion should not be implicated." ”
"How can you prove that you are not connected to the rebellion?"
The corners of Moriddin's mouth on the other side were also curled, and his eyes narrowed even smaller.
"You're Gray? Son of Byrons, even if someone says that you instigated this rebellion, some people will believe it, right? ”
"My lord, I sit right in front of you. If you think I'm one of the rebels, kill me now, I won't resist. But after that, I hope you will be able to take the words of the other three gentlemen and not kill the followers of the god of light who did not participate in the rebellion. ”
Moriddin looked at Myer's expression to see if he was pretending to be calm, or if he was really planning to make a sacrifice for the followers of the god of light in Saktin, but he didn't see anything to see it. Although there is no reason for this, Moritin still feels that the latter is more likely.
In fact, even if Maier was really the one who instigated the rebellion, Moridin could not have killed him. Judging from Maier's performance just now, he could not be a dead man disguised as Gray's son, because Meier's words are not something that ordinary people can say naturally in the new world.
In his opinion, since Maier dared to come here, he must have stayed behind. If the news of Mel's death by Moritin spreads, Gray will definitely come to Moritin for revenge. It's hard to say what the other races are at, but with the temper of the Ilibians, they will certainly do everything in their power to avenge the son of the "father of the nation".
It is impossible for the Letin people to watch the Brett Wizards Guild be wiped out by the Ilibis, so there will definitely be a life-and-death war between the Leitins and the Illibians at that time. Once the Ilibians gain the upper hand, other races will take their side and launch an all-out invasion of the Letins to seize the territory.
Maier hadn't thought much of it, and the reason he dared to say such a thing was because he felt that Moriddin was just testing him. If Moridin really wanted to kill him, the moment he learned his identity, Moridin could do it, and there was no need to give him a chance to speak.
"I'm not interested in what the three of them have to say."
Moridin opened his eyes and smiled, folded his hands in front of his chest, and leaned back in his chair relaxedly.
"If you know what the three of them want to say, say it for them."
Moritdin's words relieved the other three. When Maier said Moriddin could kill him, all three felt their blood go cold. They were not afraid that Moridin would kill him after killing Mary, but that he was simply afraid that Mary would be killed by Moritin. Not to mention that Maier is Gray's son, they feel that Maier must not die in response to what Maier said just now.
It's finally time to get to the point.
Mel took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and asked Moriddin unhurriedly, "My lord, do you know about the 'Theological Seminar'?" ”
Moritin didn't know about the Theological Seminar, but he didn't answer it right away. He didn't know why Mel asked this question, and the rash answer of "yes" or "I don't know" could have fallen into Myer's trap. Seeing that Moriddin did not answer immediately, Mel decided that he did not know about the Theological Seminar, so he continued with peace of mind.
"The Theological Seminar was founded by two students of my father to pursue and spread the truth. We have over 5,000 full members in Sakding, as well as a large number of would-be members of the god of light. I can vouch with my life that the Theological Seminary did not participate in this rebellion. If you don't believe me, I can give you a list of all the members in Sakkin, and you can send someone to check them all. ”
"Are you trying to trade your subordinates' lives for your own?"
Moritin knew that Mel did not mean this, and he said this only to stall for time, so that he could speculate on his purpose while he was arguing with him.
"I don't mean that." "I can tell you frankly that we have more than two thousand armed men in the city of Sakkin. These armed men were formed to guard against the Truth Society, and had no intention of rebelling. ”
As soon as Moritin heard that there were "armed men" in the Theological Seminar, his face immediately darkened. Seeing this, Mel not only did not continue to explain, but also flaunted the fighting power of the Theological Society.
"By chance, I fought against the rebels of the Truth Society. Their life-and-death fighting style may seem tricky, but to me they are nothing more than a rabble. The armed members of our Theological Seminary Society were selected according to my father's requirements, and only members who met the criteria were selected for the army. The rest of the members, as well as some of those who volunteered for military training, also underwent basic combat training as my father requested. Although not as elite as the 'armed men', it is more than enough to deal with the rebels of the Truth Society. ”
The Theological Seminary is much better than the Truth Society in the training of combatants, but not so strong as Mel suggests. Maier was sure that Moridin would be afraid of the Truth Society's rebels' desperate fighting style, and he didn't know anything about the Theological Society, so he exaggerated the combat power of the Theological Society in this way.
He did not do this to threaten Moritdin, but to say to Moritdin in another way: "You see, we are more powerful than the Truth Society, but we did not take the opportunity to rise up when the Truth Society rebelled, which is enough to show that we are trustworthy." ”
Another reason for this was that Moritin was jealous of the Theological Society. After seeing the rebels of the Truth Society desperately sent away, Moridin was indeed very afraid of these people who believed in the God of Light, otherwise he would not be in a hurry to clean up the heresy and want to kill all the believers of the God of Light.
So Mel's trick worked, and Moridin was first shocked when he heard this, and then temporarily abandoned the plan to clean up the heresy and began to think about countermeasures.
Moritin knew that Maier might be cheating on himself, but he didn't dare take any chances. The rebellion did more good than harm to Moritdin, but there were some losses that Moritin could not accept.
One is the paralysis of the Leting-Saktin School of Magic, which means that the Bright Wizards Association may have a talent gap in the future, and the prestige of the Bright Wizards Association will also be affected.
The second is the loss of a large family loyal to the Cornate family, and although Moritin wants to establish a dictatorship in the Bright Wizards' Guild, it is not an overnight thing. Meals must be eaten one bite at a time, and reform must be carried out little by little. This time, Moritin plans to destroy more than half of the big families in Saktin City, which is already a major operation.
The Cornate family needs time to digest the results of the battle, and the parts that cannot be digested will be divided among the extended families loyal to the Cornate family. Now that these large families have suffered heavy losses and are unable to help the Kornate family digest the fruits of the war, the Kornate family can only share the fruits of victory with those who did not participate in the rebellion, but were not loyal to the Kornate family.
The third is the casualty of members of the Cornate family. Now Moridin must use the power of the family to rule the Bright Magicians Association, and the loss of family members is naturally a bad thing for Moritin. The efficiency of the Leyting Magician in creating people is so low that every death in the Cornate family makes Moridin's heart ache terribly.
Fourth, the loss of the descendant troops. Those who were transferred to Saktin City to participate in the encirclement and suppression were Moritin's descendants, and they were 100% loyal to him. It takes a lot of time to cultivate the loyalty of soldiers, and everyone is equal in front of time, and no one can take it lightly.
If the Theological Studies were to launch another rebellion, Moritin would have to lose at least a certain number of his descendants. After much deliberation, Moritin decided to negotiate openly with Maier.
