In Amber's eyes, Gawain rarely uses such a tirade to elaborate on a concept - this man who rises up from the coffin always has a head full of ideas, but those ideas seem to be too beyond the understanding of all beings in the world, so he is more to do one thing silently, take everyone to do one thing together, and then in the process let everyone figure out little by little what is going on in the cause he is engaged in, in the process he will explain, will guide, but rarely preach, all his "preaching" - If that's preachy, it's basically all focused on the academy's textbooks.

In the textbooks of social knowledge and history classes, Gawain wrote a lot of things in this area by himself, because he once said that the worldview of adults changes very slowly, and only children can shape it from an early age.

The subtle and labor transformation of adults, the school-age education and worldview shaping of children, this seems to be the method that Gawain has always adopted, but unfortunately Amber is not interested in school, and always fishes and is lazy to avoid meetings......

But she was not stupid, on the contrary, she was extremely intelligent, and she soon heard a lot of deep meaning from Gawain's words, and after thinking about it carefully, she realized a fact that shocked her: "Among the landed nobles you want to destroy, including ......"

"Yes, including myself, including the Cecil family," Gawain looked calmly into Amber's eyes, "haven't you paid attention to how the government hall is run?" ”

Amber blinked and couldn't help but scratch her hair: "Why do I think so much...... It's not my professional ......"

And beside him, after a silent thought, Wright finally raised his head and exhaled: "Lord, I think I understand...... Please forgive me for the question. ”

"Don't worry, it's good for you to think more about this," Gawain said, he looked at Wright, who seemed to have broken through some kind of knot, and began to consciously guide the other party, "You can also expand this line of thought, to think about the changes in the Church of Light, to think about the belief in the Light." ”

The expression on Wright's face became solemn, and in the solemnity, there was a hint of imperceptible thought and confusion.

"Abandon that hypocritical god and embrace the true Light, and you have regained the power of the Light, but will you stop there?" Gawain continued, "Are you going to be content to regain your strength, or are you going to keep going, to go deeper, to find out the secrets behind this, to find out the truth about the Light? Do you want to be content with your own epiphany, or do you want to spread this epiphany to more people and make them aware of the true meaning of the virtues of the Light? ”

Wright fell into a brief moment of thought and silence, but quickly raised his head: "I will not stop there—I already know the true meaning of the Light, it belongs to everyone, and in front of the Light, the Church that monopolizes the Light is the real blasphemer. ”

"It's good that you can think so," Gawain already knew that this would be the answer, he nodded slightly, and then said, "Regarding the changes that have occurred in you, I will find Pittman, let's study it together, you may be the first person in history to take the initiative to give up the belief in the God of Light, and then control the Holy Light through your own power, the only people in a similar situation to you are the druids who converted the natural gods into druid spells three thousand years ago, and Pittman is more professional in this regard, He may be able to give you some suggestions for the way forward. ”

"That's the best," Wright nodded immediately, "I happen to have a lot of confusion too." ”

"Before you do that, take a break," Gawain said, "and get your thoughts in order." ”

Gawain left with Amber, leaving Wright alone in the small church.

He stood in front of the wooden pulpit and gazed for a long time at the empty place where the icon had been housed, where the sunlight shining through the window, a little dust floating in the sunlight, reflecting the sparkling light.

"Break the monopoly of the Holy Light and give back what people deserve......

Wright muttered softly, then lowered his head, slowly closed his eyes, and prayed silently.

There was no icon here, he no longer needed it, he was praying for the light in his heart, his prayers, the virtues and beliefs he had believed in for decades.

There was silence in the church, only the light gradually emerged from the air, a hazy and clear halo enveloped the armored priest, like the sun condensed into water flowing in the air, and in this clear light, a little bit of light particles drifted, gathered, and slowly gathered into a small figure.

The small figure fell lightly on Wright's shoulder in the light, as light as a weightless leaf, and she looked up and around, and when she saw that no one saw her, she lay quietly on Wright's shoulder, and fell asleep silently.

……

On the way to the Lord's Mansion, Amber has been wandering restlessly beside Gawain, circling around like a hamster who can't be quiet, and from time to time he looks at Gawain with a strange expression, Gawain didn't want to deal with her at first, but this guy's annoying and wanting to do something finally made him can't help it, he stopped and pressed the dwarf winter melon in place casually: "What do you want to say?" ”

"It's okay, I'm just curious about how you have a brain," Amber said confidently with her hands on her chest - there was really no momentum in doing this while someone was pressing her head, "It's just the two of us now, you tell the truth - what you said in the church, that's all true?" ”

"You really don't read newspapers, do you?" Gao Wen couldn't laugh or cry, "You should know that I mean it when you look at what the newspaper says." ”

"I see, I'll throw it to Betty after reading the weird story," Amber continued to reason, then shook her head and shook Gawain's hand off the top of her head with a look of bewilderment, "but why did you do that...... To throw away one's own privileges, and even those of future generations, is to bury the group to which one belongs...... Okay, sounds great, but why would you want to do it? ”

Gawain saw a rare hint of seriousness in Amber's always unreliable expression, he couldn't help but smile, and raised his hand to point to the city that was under rapid construction: "You say, which do you like better, this city or the castle of the old-style landed nobles?" ”

"Of course it's here," Amber replied without hesitation, "I know the castle, and it looks magnificent, and it doesn't even have a running water or heating for the workers' quarters here." Not to mention the outside of the castle, it is dirty and smelly, and people can freeze to death inside. ”

"That's the first reason, I want to live in a better world, only a stronger, more advanced, more enlightened society can build such a city, and build a city that is even more advanced than this, in this regard, the old aristocratic order has reached its limit, they can't create the strong and advanced enlightened world that I want, so I will build one myself."

Amber blinked: "Is there a second reason for that?" ”

"The second reason is that this world is not safe, the Typhonians have already gone ahead of us, we still have the threat of wasteland to the south, and now we have to face the civil war in Ansu, in the face of these challenges, making ourselves strong is the only way to survive," Gawain said for the first time the original and most important reason for casting a new order, he didn't expect that the first person to listen would be Amber, but looking at this girl's rare serious appearance, he still continued, "We must be as fast as possible, The most effective way is to become strong, to become at least able to protect itself in this world, and every road that mankind has ever traveled cannot do this, then I can only open a new way, and when I will die if I don't change, what reason is there to cling to the old order? And from the facts...... This new path seems to be on the right track. ”

"Even if you're right...... Amber pouted, "but you haven't answered that question from me - even without the old landed aristocracy, can you be sure that the government office you build will not corrupt one day?" If they also form a new ...... group, that should ......"

"So from the very beginning, I've been working on making supernatural powers like magic accessible to ordinary people," Gawain interrupted Amber before she could finish speaking, "Guess why I've been emphasizing that every aspect of the entire magic industry, from research and development to manufacturing to use, must ultimately be able to rely on transcendental beings?" ”

Amber's eyes widened, and she was speechless.

Gawain smiled slightly, not giving any further explanation on the topic.

From the very beginning, he knew that the "new order" he had created was destined to have hidden dangers, and he also knew that his transformation of the world was destined to be incomplete.

Not only because tradition and inertia will hinder change, but also because the people's level of consciousness and the actual law of the development of productive forces are restricting change, it is impossible for him to forcibly create a perfect social order when the social foundation is completely unsubstantial—even if it is created, it can only be a short-lived utopia, and this kind of utopia that will eventually compromise the productive forces cannot resist the magic tide.

He can only push this society forward as much as he can on the basis of the existing productive forces, in the best possible way, as far as he can, and in the process, he has to allow the existence of those hidden dangers and defects - in fact, one of the greatest flaws in this new order even comes from himself: in order to ensure that the new order does not get out of control, and in order to ensure that social development is at the highest efficiency, and to ensure that Cecil can be indestructible in the future against the demon tide, he must ensure the maximum concentration of power, He wants to concentrate the greatest power in his own hands, or in the hands of the government department he controls, and this is a hidden danger.

This hidden danger will not erupt in his lifetime, and it may not explode within a generation or two after his death (if his strange state of life really has a lifespan limit), but it will explode sooner or later.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Gawain arranged a "path of correction" for his "new order" that developed in parallel, that is, the "magic power" that could be completely controlled in the hands of mortals.

He remembered that he had heard a sentence in his previous life: society develops in a spiral, and he doesn't know whether this sentence is absolutely true, but this sentence at least has some truth, but in this world where there are extraordinary forces, society can't even do spiral development - once the extraordinary power is formed, it will almost form a permanent solidification of the social structure, and the people at the bottom do not even have the ability to resist one ten-thousandth, so that even if the upper class of society is deformed and corrupted to the limit, it will still sink and continue in darkness, and the "magic technology", It is a beast domesticated by Gawain in order to break this situation.

He may not be able to establish the most advanced social order in one step, because it is a castle in the sky, but he can give ordinary people in later generations the ability to overturn the table.

From the beginning, the "New Order of Cecil" was not his greatest achievement, but "the power of the transcendent to the mortal" was.

The former allowed him to build the Cecil Empire, and the latter allowed ordinary people to overthrow the Cecil Empire.

However, it was so complicated and sensational that it seemed that even the most heartless amber would be frightened, and he could not explain it further.

So, he just patted the half-elf lady who was a little stunned: "Let's go, let's talk to Pitman first." ”

……

City of Saint-Sunil, Fort Silver.

The study where Francis II used to work has been cleaned.

Veronica?? Moen walked into the place that had been burned by the flames, and the burned things had been cleared out, but large smoky traces could still be seen on the bare stone walls and floors around them.

The light wafting in the air dispelled the dust and ashes, and Veronica, dressed in a white goddess's robe, came to the place where the desk had been placed, and lowered her head as if she could still see the old king looking up from behind the desk and smiling at herself.

"What a pity...... "The holy princess said in a voice that only she could hear, "you've done enough......"

Footsteps came from behind her, and Veronica turned her head and saw Wales?? Moen, the brother who was nearly twenty years her senior, was standing in the doorway, casting a puzzled look at herself, "You're not in church today?" ”

"Today is the day to return to the castle," Veronica bowed her head slightly, "Normally, my father always sees me here. ”

Wales?? A hint of sadness appeared in Moen's expression, and he glanced at his sister standing in the middle of the study, and shook his head slightly, "Everything was burned or moved out." ”

"I know," Veronica whispered, walking slowly to the door of the study, and as she passed Wales, she asked, "you're already at war with Edmund, are you?" ”

"It's the royal family and the rebels in the East who are at war."

"You represent the royal family now, my brother."

“…… Yes, I went to war against Edmund, "Wales?? Moen looked at his brilliant sister, who couldn't figure out what was going on in her mind, when she was younger, and even more so now, "Does this have anything to do with the Church of Light?" ”

"The church only does the will of the Lord and does not interfere with royal power," Veronica shook her head, "I just want to remind you as a relative, that there has been some bad news coming from the south recently. ”

“…… There has been some information from the Rock Fortress, but Duke Baldwin believes that the rebels in the east pose a greater threat. ”

“…… Maybe it is," Veronica looked into Wales' eyes and shook her head slightly, "I'm just reminding you. The Founding Patriarch was not as safe as you think, and he unleashed a beast that you had better not wait for to grow. ”

Veronica walked away, and the reassuring glow of warmth in the air gradually dissipated, and in the study room, which had become empty again, Wales?? Moen was still watching in the direction Veronica had left.

After a long time, he shook his head: "What's the use of me talking?" ”
