"Don't be big or small, don't think about rank, we're all Finns tonight...... Well, they're all colleagues. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

In the narrow hall of the temple, Li Qi beckoned everyone to sit down in front of the wooden stake, each person on a small wooden stool, and lined up to eat the fruit.

Tarence, Finney, Tina, Lily......

Oxtongue Grass - Stan, Black Sheep - Gambitt, Round Hook - Hall......

The other ten excelled, especially with no slacking off in matters of farm management, and no self-aggrandizing apprentices.

There were eighteen people in total, and no one else knew what to do except for Tarrens.

When the round hook appeared and sat down with them, some of the apprentices were puzzled, some were thoughtful, some were happy, some were calm, and no one showed disdain, let alone deliberately distanced themselves from him, which made Richie very happy.

Tarence's vision is indeed sophisticated, and the people he picks are very qualified.

"Our first doctrine is to understand that suffering opens our eyes, allows us to see reality, to discover the truth. ”

There was a wooden shelf in front of Richie, on which was spread out a heart book. He didn't prepare a speech, but showed what he wanted to say in the book and then made some adjustments.

"After this period of practice, your mind should have been cleansed very clearly. Tonight is for everyone to share their most unforgettable pain, so that the truth that belongs only to everyone can be spelled out to be the truth that belongs to everyone. ”

Li Qi first warned the two witches who were fighting with his gaze, then glanced at everyone, slowed down his voice and said: "We are heart-to-heart tonight, everyone's pain is shared by colleagues, and everyone's shame is the shame of colleagues." Don't hold anything back, open your heart to your colleagues, to our Lord. ”

There was a crunch, and Tarence cracked one leg as he sat on the wooden bench.

"Stan, would you like to be the first?"

Li Qi called the name, and then gave the old priest a reassuring look. For the first time, the old priest and the witch didn't have to end.

"Okay!"

Stan looked at him calmly, sorted out his thoughts, and began to tell.

“...... The feeling of not being well fed and clothed, looking back now, was not the most painful. Every time I think of my sister, my brother, my father and mother, I ......"

Under Richie's gaze, Stan's body flickered with a faint halo, which was that his mind was in harmony with the spirit of pain, indicating that his words were from the bottom of his heart, without a trace of disguise.

"At first I felt that the pain was because I lost them, but now I feel that the real reason for the pain is that I couldn't do anything!"

He raised his hand and looked at his palms: "I'm young, I'm healthy, I'm strong." My father and mother took me to farm, chop wood, and dig potatoes, and I was not lazy. Why? Why can't I rely on these hands to keep them alive and make them live better?"

He choked up and said, "Why can't I even support myself? If I hadn't entered the church, I might not have lived to be thirty years old, even if I worked hard, is this the meaning of my coming into this world?"

Some of the apprentices also began to sob, and almost all the apprentices present had the same experience as Stan, even if it was a round hook, their childhood livelihood was similar.

Then there is Black Sheep Gambit, who is a little distracted, and when Richie asks him what his scruples are, he replies that the matter has something to do with the former viscount.

Li Qi said gently: "I said, don't have any scruples. From the moment we are bathed in the light of our Lord, we are already colleagues, and as long as we do not betray the faith, this identity is eternal. ”

Gambit plucked up her courage: "My mother, who used to be a servant in the castle more than ten years ago. She, she said that the former viscount was that one, that one had been her, and I kept thinking, maybe I was...... I'm ......."

"I knew you would say this", Stan smiled with tears in his eyes, "You think you're an illegitimate child, right?"

Luckily, Richie didn't sit on the small wooden bench, otherwise he would have broken his leg like Tarrens.

"Viscount...... No, Mr. Li Qi, listen to me, weren't you stupid back then? Every time I think about it now, I can't wait to stick my head in the ground. When I grew up, I was exactly like my dad, with a big nose and thick eyebrows. ”

Gambit blushed and explained, and then said, "But at that time, when I was hungry and cold, I couldn't help but think like that." ”

"If you want to say that the most painful, it is when the viscount was still a young master, he went to the imperial capital to practice. At that time, I felt that my heart was carved with a knife and marked by a soldering iron, and I ......"

He was extremely ashamed: "I hate my mother, I hate the former viscount, I think I should have such an opportunity! If I can become a professional through cultivation, I can have extraordinary strength, then I can eat well, dress warmly, and make my family live comfortably......

"Later, I realized that I was not an illegitimate child, but I still wanted to practice. I secretly went to the town north to find the Knights' Church and wanted to be an apprentice. ”

His cheeks were a little distorted: "The knight who guards the door, now I think it should be a trainee knight or even an apprentice, ask me how many gold bushhels I can give, I was stunned, he kicked me on the heel, scolded me for saying that I still want to enter the church with mud legs." ”

"Later, I learned that I had to give at least a few gold bushels to the handlers before I could be selected by the church. ”

Gambit clenched his fists: "Why? Why should you have a golden bushel to practice and become a professional? Why can a mud leg only be a mud leg for a lifetime!"

If Stan's narration made everyone take a mouthful of salt earth, Gambitt's narration was filled with a mouthful of chili water, and then the female apprentice Asuna fed them a thick fruit acid.

Two or three years ago, Asuna and her mother went to the northern town to sell vegetables, and she was taken by the priests of the Church of the God of Music. However, the condition for her to be accepted as an apprentice was that her mother would peel off her breasts, and said that it would only hurt and that it would be cured, and it would be free.

"My mother agreed, I, I regret not stopping her at that time......"

Asuna burst into tears, and spoke intermittently for a while before finishing.

After hearing that her mother had been cut, the priest toyed with her all night, and the next day drove her away with her mother, and the healing water she was given was dropped by the apprentice, and when she returned, her mother died a few days later, and everyone sighed with embarrassment.

"I've never wondered why we have betrayed ourselves in exchange for deception?

A faint halo also appeared on Asuna's body, and she deeply felt the pain, and her soul took another step towards the goddess.

One by one, the apprentices told about the hardships they endured and the pain they tasted in the suffering.

Finally, there is the round hook, and the round hook at this time is very calm: "Everyone knows that I am a corpse digger, and I have done very evil things. The most painful thing is that I want to make amends, I want to atone for my sins, but the whole world won't let me do it. Even I thought that I was born as the son of a corpse digger, so I would be a bad person in this life. ”

"Why can't a corpse digger be a good person, why a corpse digger must be hated. ”

He grinned, "But now I have an answer." I will no longer be afraid of the accusations of others, I will run away from the hatred of others, I will follow the teachings of the Lord, and I will be for all with one heart and one mind. ”

The Circle Hook's statement made the atmosphere deviate a little from the previous track, and Li Qi was about to say something, when Tina suddenly stood up, apparently trying to support the Round Hook, "his own person".

"The round hook is the same as everyone else, they have all endured hardships, and they all have unbearable pasts, even me!"

Originally, I didn't plan to let the witch participate, but Tina joined by herself, and Li Qi would not stop her.

Tina waved her small fist and said with full emotion: "Everyone knows, I am a half-elf and have a pair of long ...... of the one. Many nobles will keep slaves like me, and they will vent their disgusting desires for generations! I am in the ranks of adventurers, even if I don't show up, everyone else will look at me strangely, and some people will want to sell me to slave traders!"

Li Qi finally understood why she, as a third-level professional, was so poor, taking on the guard task of one gold bushel every month, and she didn't stay reserved for more than ten seconds.

Because she is always looked at by her teammates with strange eyes, and her defensive line is so strict that she even says the word "pointed ears". In the team, when she couldn't get paid at all, she took the commission alone, and the employer could drive her away with a "pointed ear" without having to pay.

"You've asked so many whys, and I'm the same, and I want to ask why I'm treated like this, just because I'm like this, because I'm of elven blood?"

Seeing the light of the apprentices fill with divine vision, Richie felt that it was time, and Tina was the catalyst.

He attached himself to Tina's ear, covered his face with his hand, and whispered, "Pointed ears." ”

Airplanes...... The crystal wings unfurled, and the dead bird chirped.

"Keep the current mood", Tina was embarrassed, hearing Rich's words, remembering that she would borrow her strength before the "meeting", and then looking at Finney pouting next to her, looking indignant about being robbed of the limelight, her heart suddenly floated, and she didn't care about Richie's offense.

She raised her head, glanced at everyone condescendingly, and secretly said that you are the same as me, everyone is the same, you will be afraid of death, and in the end you will not be able to escape death.

Richie's voice floated through the temple: "Have you ever wondered why you ask these questions, why do you feel pain, why do you feel unwilling?"

The apprentices were in a state of turmoil over the appearance of another "holy woman", and the crystal wings were spreading, as if they were facing an abyss, as if they were about to fall with a breath. The feeling of death was directly attached to everyone's face, and their hearts trembled.

Stan struggled to resist that fear and was the first to speak: "Because ...... Because we're human?"

"Because we ...... Hate the pain!"

Gambit understands more deeply: "Because we want to live a good life!

"Yes, you are all mortals! You all have souls that yearn for warmth, for happiness, but are very fragile!"

"Kings, nobles, priests, knights, humans, elves, half-elves, half-lings, all mortals! In the face of death, you will all be afraid, you are all the same!"

Richie went on to say, "Why do we suffer so much when we are all mortals?"

He pointed at Stan and asked, "Who made you do your best, or you can't support yourself and your relatives?"

"Yes......"

Stan hesitated, but in the face of Li Qi's clear gaze, he gritted his teeth and said the result that he had thought about a long time ago: "It's the former viscount, the former viscount." They have to collect seventy percent of our land rent, and they also require us to pay a lot of other things and do a lot of things for free. I mean, all lords are the same. ”

There was another clicker under Tarence's buttocks, and Richie glared at the old man, who was about to say something, and suddenly shut up.

"That's right!"

Li Qi nodded at Stan and the latter exhaled in relief, a mixture of gratitude and realization in his eyes.

He pointed to Gambit again: "Then you, who made it impossible for you to practice?"

Gambit looked at Stan and gritted his teeth, "It's the priest who asks for money, and their dogs!"

Asuna was even more determined: "The priests and lords are all noble lords, they can do whatever they want, we are pigs and sheep!"

After asking one by one, seeing that he never pointed at himself, Xiao Douding jumped up: "We are all golden bushels in the eyes of the master! I was almost sold to a brothel in the city, and it was the black-hearted master who did it!"

Li Qi's fingers twitched, and he said in his heart, Finney, forget about others, you have to take me out when you say this.

"That's right! It's the church! It's the nobility! It's all the powerful people who oppress us, suck our flesh and blood, and don't want us to gain power!"

Li Qi spread his hands and said reverently: "It is precisely because the goddess made me realize this that I will throw myself into the arms of the goddess and vow to spread the glory of the goddess to the whole of Finn." ”

He shook his hands and looked at everyone: "Everyone for me, I for everyone, what kind of world it is, we still don't know, we need to continue to think and explore." But we are now clear about at least one thing, and that is...... There is no oppression. ”

"A world without oppression......"

The apprentices' eyes were blazing, and there was not only a painful holy light circulating in their bodies, but also some of them were wrapped in a faint layer of death holy light, all of them had reached the peak of devout believers, and Li Qi felt that the most critical moment had arrived.

"Finney......

He beckoned to the little girl, who was puffing out her cheeks because Richie had not praised her, and when he called her, she was immediately overjoyed.

Goodbye he made a singing gesture, the little girl took a deep breath, tears slid down, and the cold light wings unfurled.

"Come, sing along!"

Li Qi waved his hand and clapped his hand.

......

"There has never been a savior, neither by kings nor gods......"

"It is up to us to create the happiness of mortals......

In the midst of the song, clusters of holy light bloomed.

Stan sang and sang, and a circle of holy light overflowed from his body, circling around.

Then came the Gambit......

Asuna ......

Round Hook ......

"Praise be to my lord!"

Tarence counted the laps of the light that rose from one lap to the next, and with tears in his eyes, he sang loudly and vigorously.

He still had some regrets when he sang it, but in fact, he was not unable to face his shame and pain.
