Chapter 166: The Holy Religion is hated and loved

"What a great place. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info", sighed little Peter, who saw the same sight through the car window.

"Oh, does little Peter like this place?", Al asked.

"It's not just me, it's many Sileven-born civilians who love the Sanctuary. Although Shenghui City is very large, there are not many places for us civilians to live, no matter when and where, we must be careful, so as not to collide with the nobles, and then there will be no place to die, everyone works hard, in order to support their families and support themselves. ā€

"But the Sanctuary is different from the oppressive Radiant City, where everyone can speak freely and loudly, without scruples or despises, and the priests and nuns here are very kind, and from time to time they will help the poor. There is no heavy gate of Shenghui City, you can't go here, you can't go there, and most of the places in the Holy Land can be freely entered and exited. ā€

"Who wouldn't love this place?", said little Peter, with a maturity and sentimentality on his face that was not appropriate for his age.

"yes, who wouldn't love this place?", but El happened to know that there were two types of people who wouldn't like it, nobles and mages.

The fourth article of the holy book reads: "He who is noble in blood is the chosen people of the gods on earth, and he shall not speak or act in vain."

Article 6 reads: Uphold justice, eradicate evil spirits, and wherever the holy light goes, darkness has nothing to hide.

Therefore, in many cases, the nobles who are beyond the legal sanctions of the empire are traitors and criminals, and they have no scruples, and it is the holy paladins who punish them, and because of this, the prestige of the paladins among the commoners is extremely high, and the basis for the paladins to punish the nobles is these two articles of the holy scriptures. Therefore, for the Holy Religion, many nobles have malicious intentions, thinking that the Holy Religion restricts the rights of the nobles, no one likes to dance with shackles, and the nobles who are used to lawlessness are even more so, and the contradictions between the nobles of the kingdom and the Holy Religion have been very sharp for a long time, but this generation of Grievous the Great is a devout believer, and the relationship between the nobles and the Holy Religion has eased a lot, at least on the surface, the nobles of the Hawley District are still respectful to the Holy Religion.

If the estrangement between the nobles and the Holy Sect is still a small matter of freedom, the contradiction between the mages and the Holy Sect can be described as a deep feud in the sea of blood, for a long time, the mages' exploration of the elements has been monitored and restricted by the Holy Sect, and if they go beyond the boundaries set by the Holy Sect, they will be arrested by the Holy Sect at every turn, and there are many prestigious mages who have been arrested and have no trace, which is also an important reason why the development of the magical civilization in this world is so slow. Therefore, the most important thing for mages to accept apprentices is the talent of elemental perception and mental power, and they don't care much about thinking ability and so on, the more this happens, the more vicious the circle, resulting in fewer and fewer mages specializing in elemental research, and the magic research in this world is slowing down more and more.

And mages like Old Mage Potter and Sheldon who conduct research on magic techniques such as magic circles are still within the reluctance of the Holy Sect, so they are still alive and well under the nose of the Holy Sect, and they have secretly preserved so many books of the Mage Association, and even some forbidden books.

Because of such hatred, many mages have secretly looked down on the Holy Religion, calling the Holy Religion a false faith, and criticizing it, Al's teacher Medea is a typical one, especially since he met with the orc elders, after knowing from his mouth that the original belief of human beings is Heavenly Father and Earth Mother, he has hated the Holy Religion into his bones.

It is also strange to say that the nobles and mages who hate the Holy Religion and the mortals are like living in two worlds, different species, and the most reverent and most supportive of the Holy Religion are the common people who are in the bottom of the society, and there is a reason why the Holy Religion can overwhelm all other faiths in a short period of time and become the only faith of the entire human race.

For example, when he was on Earth, as a teenager who was born in New China and learned historical materialism since childhood, Al also never believed in religion, but this did not prevent Al from agreeing with some religions such as Buddhism, Christianity, etc., such as persuading people to be good, and so on.

And in this turbulent world, with powerful magic and martial arts, the rebellion of the prince general Xiangning is even more difficult to succeed, and the existing historical records of the change of kingdoms are basically dominated by the rebellion of the nobles, and the final result is nothing more than the guillotine of one nobleman with one surname, and the nobleman of another surname sits on the throne, and there is almost no power dominated by commoners.

In a world where the class is so stubborn, there is a religious organization that can restrain the unbridled behavior of the nobles and give the common people a spiritual support, which is not only not a harm in Al's opinion, but a pure good.

"In that case, little Peter is also a devout believer, isn't he?" Al asked casually as he thought.

"yes. Little Peter made a gesture of prayer, and then said with some frustration: "But the holy scriptures say that God loves the world, but why do the people of this world have to be divided into three, six, nine, and so on? Gang leaders like Horsen have always bullied the unarmed commoners, the merchants look down on the coolies who work for them to earn money, and the nobles must also look down on us commoners, and we are not even allowed to approach them." As he spoke, he glanced up at El, "Young Master Al, you are the most approachable noble person I have ever met, not only do you never beat or scold us, but you don't even despise us, although everyone doesn't say it, but the shopkeepers of the Western Frontier Trading House, those coolies who work, and those civilians who are often relieved by you all respect you very much." ā€

"Yes. Al smiled slightly, there was a warm current flowing through his heart, it seemed that what he did on weekdays was not done in vain, although it was just some trivial things that Al was accustomed to, in his heart, but he was still very moved by everyone to remember it like this.

When the gift is not only roses, but to meet the food of survival and spiritual respect, the impression of the giver will never be forgotten, perhaps the human heart is so ugly, people will continue to pursue beautiful things to make up, the beautiful impression will be remembered by everyone, to pursue, in a certain year, a certain month, a certain time, bloom gorgeous flowers.

As little Peter approached the chariot and the simple houses adorned with crosses around the great garden, Al knew that the Charismatic Orphanage had arrived.
