Section 19 Tableside Talk

Vegetarian food, vegetarian stuff everywhere, chickpea cereal, lettuce and carrot porridge, grilled sweet cereals, roasted shallots...... There was not a trace of meat, not even fish fillets from the Magyar Sea, and certainly no ketchup, and people at this time had not yet learned to eat tomatoes, which were called devil fruits.

Except for the children and Lao Luo's table, no one chooses meat, although the air is full of the enticing smell of barbecue.

The children do not know the things of the day, because they are ignorant and unaware, and Lao Luo is because he does not care, he can swallow anything under any circumstances, because he is knowledgeable and does not care at all about the change of form between the material elements.

"Third brother, why can you still eat so much meat?" Because the war alert was lifted, Li Ji could naturally go to the camp at the edge of the valley where Lao Luo was located to join in the fun.

"Why not? As you can imagine, it was just a wildfire that killed some hares and pheasants or something. "Lao Luo is a pure carnivore, and he will never abuse his appetite if he can eat good.

"However, that's not a hare pheasant......" Li Ji was a little annoyed by Lao Luo's relaxed tone, because she was a little disgusted to see so much meat.

"Is there a difference?" Lao Luo asked casually, and then felt that this seemed to be too blunt, "You have to know that if it's not them, maybe it's us, which one do you choose?" ”

"......" Li Ji naturally didn't want the disaster of the mountain fire to be his turn.

"In any case, whether it is a pheasant or a hare, or a Turk, it is nothing more than dust to dust, and we only live for ourselves." Lao Luo is not a stupid guy, except when he is in love.

Well, in order to be able to enjoy his own food, his words fooled Li Jiao, at least this kind of language still has a market, religion is always the favorite topic of conversation among the people of this land in this era.

"The words of the third brother are very similar to what the monks of Tianzhu said...... Li Ji said as she bit the roasted wheat ring in her hand.

"The Great Imam (1) said something similar, I heard it in the Al-Azhar Mosque." Nuralman was a good student, and every time there was a similar topic, he was always inevitably involved.

"The ascetics of the Orthodox Church (2) also said that life goes back and forth, and that sorrow and happiness circulate." But Norton, who had been listening, also interjected.

"Why are you all so interested in religious matters?" Lao Luo finished eating the food in his mouth, and was a little curious about the fact that everyone was so interested.

"Because only faith can make people's hearts at peace, the more you know, the more you are confused, the world is so complicated, you must always have a choice." It was Li Ji who spoke, and it was also because of a teacher from the bloodline of the legendary Alexander the Great that she had such an independent mind, and was not affected by the spread of the Green Sect in this land.

"Madam is right, the gods are not revealed, we all believe in the spirit of the god of war, whether it is Kratos or Mars, only his will can encourage us to live." Naturally, it was Norton, who believed in the god of war, and almost all the former gladiators believed in the god of war.

"I don't know whether to believe in Allah or not, my uncle said that Allah does not exist on earth, and my parents did exactly what Allah wanted, but they did not see Allah have mercy on them...... "Nuralman's statement is a bit confused, even though he is an Arab, he is not a follower of the Green Religion.

"God may exist, but they do not interfere easily in human affairs, and as human beings, what is needed is to honor God's will, but not to obey the instructions of the so-called spokesman of God. For there are many people in the world who act in the name of God and fool people to fulfill their ambitions or desires, isn't it? Of course, Lao Luo can't be a preacher, but he can't confirm or deny the existence of God, and in this era when people often provoke wars in the name of God, he just hopes that the people around him will be more vigilant.

Lao Luo still has his own set of views on the understanding of religion, he does not mind that the people around him have their own different beliefs, but he will never accept them to become fanatical believers of a certain religion. Of course, the best way is for Lao Luo himself to become the core of faith in people's hearts, but he really doesn't want to be a god, and there is no need for this at present.

"Lord, do you mean that God has not walked on earth?" When it comes to faith, Norton immediately had doubts about Lao Luo's words.

"No, God may have walked the world, and there are many things that no one can say in ancient times, thousands of years ago, when people didn't know how to survive at first, they guided people's survival, but after people became more and more complex, God either began to leave, or began to retreat, and before that they left their knowledge. And then this knowledge was spread by some people who may have followed God, as for now? It has become a tool for many people to realize their ambitions. When Lao Luo said this, he was also thinking about his own experience, as well as all the unknown things in the world, and his future direction.

In fact, he has no fear of what is known, only the unknown history confuses him, especially the history of antiquity (3) is a fog, and a little exploration of the unknown may be able to answer his questions across time and space. And what he said has a lot of conjectures from later generations, some from his own professional experience, some of which have been confirmed by later generations, and some of which are pure theories that have never been verified.

In the later generations when information is extremely developed, this kind of remark may only make people laugh casually.

But in this day and age?

It's not much worse than thunder, at least for the believers, for example, but Norton, who was just asking, had no thoughts, and his mind was full of Lao Luo's words.

"Third brother, your statement is very similar to the words of Teacher Annalia, she once said that with the retreat of the ancient Greek gods, ancient Greece began to decline rapidly, and the West has the rise of today's Christianity, Jesus may be the path of the gods, but today's church is obviously not." Li Ji's education is more complete than the others, and it is not surprising that she can say such things.

"The teachers of Al-Azhar Mosque do not speak of this, and the imams only say that Allah is the only true God." Nuralman's eyes were a little blank, and there was a sense of regret in his words that he had been confused, of course, it would not be changed by a few words from Lao Luo, but this dialogue verified the doubts in his heartβ€”the contradictions and doubts between the education of the Fatimid school and the words of his uncle El Hessin.

"There is no shortage of careerists who can fool the world in the name of God, and everyone should be careful not to be misled because of your faith." The beliefs of the people around him are very complicated, and Lao Luo is not qualified to ask them to convert now, so he can't help but give a warning in advance, this is not a problem that can be avoided and discussed, but it is useless to talk about it, it is enough to point it to the end.

Now he has only found his starting point in this era, and everything still has to find his foothold in the East, so that he can have the opportunity to explore all the unknown secrets, as for whether he can return to his own era? Lao Luo was not sure in his heart that there might be some answers in the Byzantine library materials that he "collected" in that space, but it had no reference value for him who could not read ancient Greek or even cuneiform on clay tablets.

If you want to read it, you need a lot of scholars or people who know ancient texts, and if you want to have many such people, you need to have the right channels to recruit talents, and provide an environment that can steadily study those ancient documents. Moreover, Lao Luo believes that his "collection" may be the root cause of the war, and that secrecy must be a difficult task, and sufficient force is necessary to preserve these "collections".

So you must get rid of the feeling of being pushed by the things around you, it's too passive, Lao Luo really doesn't like this feeling. A foothold is a must, and perhaps by the way, can change the course of history? This is a big job, and it can't be compared to the simple killing of mercenary missions. It is enough to listen to people's orders for this kind of thing, and it is enough to have the experience of the afterlife, and in this era and world, no one can dictate to him.

After all, the table talk is just gossip, and it is difficult to estimate what impact this kind of gossip without decision-making will have, at least the current Lao Luo can't, and the top priority is to return to the east.

(1) The Great Imam, the religious leader of the Green Church, is the equivalent of the Catholic cardinal.

(2) Orthodox Church, before the split of Christianity, the state religion of the Eastern Roman Empire, that is, the Byzantine Empire, was called the Orthodox Church, which was the predecessor of the later Orthodox Church.

(3) There is a fault between the ancient Egyptian civilization in the West and the civilization in the Lianghe River Valley, and there is also a fault in the history of the East, and the civilization records of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties are only part of the deduction made by later generations based on the oracle bone inscriptions, and cannot fully describe the history of the entire civilization.
