Chapter 39: A Place of Love and Peace
After leaving the cathedral, Luby began to visit the headquarters of the Holy See alone, as the headquarters here is naturally incomparably magnificent and splendid, there are many people coming and going in the huge courtyard, for strangers Luby also took a look at it and went to do his own thing, Luby has been wandering around the area open to ordinary people, the mural lobby.
Most of these simple and abstract murals depict the greatness of the god of light as a mission, but most of them are made up by people, and there are few real ones.
"Young man, are you interested in murals?"
Just as Ruby was observing the stories depicted in these abstract murals, a stranger's voice suddenly came from behind him, and a clergyman dressed in red and white robes appeared behind Ruby at some point, asking with great interest.
"Well, I can roughly understand it."
Lubi glanced back at the other party's appearance, and was almost blinded by the dazzling light at first glance, only to find that it was the other party's bald head that refracted the magic crystal on the ceiling, and on closer inspection, he found that the middle-aged priest didn't even have eyebrows.
"Yes, it's rare for a young person like you to have a wise root, do you want to join the church? As long as you believe in the god of light, you can get the opportunity to learn divine arts, and it is possible to become a cardinal like me in the future. β
Everyone understood the cardinal's polite words in front of him, and he didn't seem to say anything pretty, so he soon revealed his true colors and tricked Ruby into joining the church.
"No, I don't believe in evil, I believe in science."
Ruby soon rejected the religion, as a native of the earth he had always been an atheist, and even when he was saved by God, he did not think that the young man was a god, but regarded him as a man with extraordinary abilities. This incident is also quite ironic, in the last days of the earth, countless god-worshippers called on the gods they believed in to ask for protection, but in the end, only Ruby, who did not believe in gods, lived to the end.
"Why don't you believe it, the God of Light is real, and we can have the life we have now thanks to God's protection."
"I don't think it's right, I can have this kind of life because I created it myself, although there is a man who claims to be a god who helped me, but I can get food because I hunt, I can get money because of my labor, these have nothing to do with God, if I can have food in bed, I will believe."
"You, you, you make sense... But I think people still need faith, what if God hears your prayers when you're in trouble? β
The bald bishop was dumbfounded by Luby's remarks, and he had met many people who had refused to preach before, but it was the first time he had encountered a man who had refuted God with himself, so that he could only continue to deceive like a dead duck.
"Then I'd rather go to Akuya."
Rubi actually didn't believe anyone, but he also saw that he was afraid that if he didn't agree to this bald head, he would stick to himself all the time, so he could only talk nonsense casually, because he knew the two gods now.
The Holy Empire does not limit religious vices, and in other novels Lubby will be taken and tortured and burned at the stake by the Inquisition Bureau, but here it will make the bishop sulk.
"The goddess of water again? Aren't you pagans just a goddess, and if the god of light was also a woman, it would definitely be more popular, really! β
At the mention of Akuya's bald bishop's face changed, and he cursed and said a lot of things like 'men are animals that think with their lower bodies', presumably because most of the believers he persuaded threw themselves into Akuya's arms.
"Behold, the bald Hans has failed again in his mission."
"That's right, this is the thirtieth person this month, it's a shame, let's quit the sect."
Seeing the bald cardinal eating the two vigilante paladins grinned, the young man in pure white armor had no respect for the high clergy at all, and talked about his experience as if it were a family thing.
"You two little bastards, are you here chatting when you're done with your work!"
Enraged, Hans walked over and kicked the two men in the ass and drove them away.
"The smell of these people is very warm."
Although Ruby does not believe in God, he has a lot of good feelings about this Holy See, and when Moyuna talks about the Pope, he subconsciously thinks that it is not a good place, maybe it is the kind of place where malice is inflicted on people under the banner of God, but after seeing the behavior of these people and the unhypocritical expressions on their faces, he knows that he thinks too much.
"Do you think that the people of the Holy See are as harmonious on the surface as the novels in your head, but they don't do anything behind the scenes?"
"Well, a little."
"Didn't I say that the human beings in your world really have paranoia of victimization, as long as there are basically all villainous concentration camps in the Holy See, don't you want to think that if the god above the head of the Holy See is a good person, will he allow the people below to do those things under his banner? If God is evil himself, why do you have to pretend to be good to deceive a group of inferior creatures, believe me, no god would be so boring. β
"That's right, my thinking is a little stiff too."
Ruby shook his head and admitted his thoughts, and went to look at these abstract murals again, and finally walked to the end of the lobby and saw the end of the mural before stopping, this is a very short mural, and the painting style is different from the previous one, full of gloomy and dark painting style.
The magicians on the mural seem to be trying their best to resist someone, but their magic can't do harm to the other side, and countless human corpses lie on the ground, and the humanoids who walk on the corpses are all white-haired and red-eyed.
"Do you feel anything?"
The bald Hans didn't know when he appeared behind Ruby again, and asked like a ghost.
"Demon, huh?"
"The demons of the demon world are much friendlier than them, it was the darkest era of the human era, and it was not only the demon king Satan who was hostile to the god of light, but also the goddess of revenge, no one knew why she hated the god of light, she did not directly take revenge on the god of light, but turned the spearhead to the god of light's favorite human."
"The creatures she created with her divine power are the enemies on the mural, the bodies of these creatures are made of light, no magic can harm them, and they have only one purpose, which is to slaughter humans, and the total number of people has even been reduced by half under their attacks."
"In the end, was it the God of Light who helped solve it?"
"No, it's just that one day they suddenly disappeared from people's records along with the Nemesis, maybe the Lord of Light and the Nemesis made some kind of agreement, it's not for us to know."
Hans appeared as if he was just explaining the details of the mural to Ruby, and then touched his bare head and left.
"Is that why Moyuna is feared?"
Ruby finally found the truth that Moyuna had been reluctant to mention, of course he scoffed at this legend, and he could easily find several explanations for Moyuna's appearance, and there were indeed a lot of ignorances caused by backward technology.
"Are you scared?"
Dragon asked suddenly, eager to see what his partner would do if he knew the truth.
"Legends and stuff can't be trusted, I only believe what I see with my own eyes."
