Chapter 66: The Girls' Argument
"So, I had already planned for the future of the church, the selection of the heir, and the way in which it would develop in the future, but in order to protect them from being disturbed by too many mundane things when they were sharpening themselves, I kept it a secret, and I also strictly told those who knew about it to keep it a secret. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "Most of what the old bishop Keane said was true, only the most crucial content, through the art of language, misled others, so that the uninformed people thought that everything was in the old man's plan, and that he had indeed arranged it this way from more than ten years ago. Seeing the reactions of the others, the old man smiled and said, "Therefore, when the parishioners persuaded me to establish an heir as soon as possible, I just spoke vaguely and perfunctorily, and by no means distrusted the parishioners, but just to create the best conditions for the two of them to practice, and at the same time not to cause too much mental pressure. This is also an old man's selfishness, in the end, the two of them are my only two students, of course I hope that the higher the level of my students, the better, hahaha, and I hope that my old friends will forgive me for this selfish behavior that disregards everyone's mood, after all, people are old, how much will change a little. ”
The clergy around him let out a suppressed snicker at the old bishop's self-deprecation, and no one expressed any special opinion. In the church of Yarra, a pope establishes his own heir, often not according to his own will, but only recommends some candidates to the gods, and then the gods appoint specific heirs, so there is almost no such problem of heir disputes in the church, unless strong enough to influence the decisions of the gods, there is no point in fighting, and if it is really strong enough to have an impact on the gods, there is no need to fight for any heirs. The only thing that can happen is that the previous generation of popes died before they could establish a successor, so that sometimes the bishops who are qualified to succeed the archbishop will start to compete secretly, hoping to show more prominently, so that the gods can choose themselves, this period of power vacuum often causes a lot of chaos, so most religions will try to avoid it.
"The main reason why I invite you here today is to apologize to all the parishioners, and I feel very guilty for hiding from you for so many years. The old bishop bowed in four directions with a serious expression, and said with sincerity: "In order to express my apologies and make up for my mistakes, I will introduce the two of them to you today, although Helena will continue to spread the glory of my lord in the mortal world of the Yala continent in the future, and there will not be too many opportunities to meet you, but Betty, this child will continue to follow me in the holy realm, until I can no longer serve my lord, and then she will take over my lord's scepter." Therefore, I would like to thank you all for not caring about my hidden mistakes and helping her to lead the Church as much as possible in the future, so that the holy name of our Lord can spread to every corner of the Yarra world. ”
"Really good at talking, someone who has been in the position of archbishop for decades. Freya held her chin, listened to the old bishop's speech with a smile, and said with a bit of ridicule: "Not only did he forcibly turn the unreasonable things into reasonable, but also used his age as an excuse in a joking way, so that no one could blame him, and finally he had to help the heir win over the middle and high levels of the church. ”
"How different is a person who leads a large church from a nobleman who leads a city or even a country?" As a descendant of the former great nobles of the Falar Empire, Catherine saw this very clearly, and said very calmly: " The popes of these large churches are not necessarily much worse than the methods of the aristocracy, I am afraid that these ways of speaking and doing things have long become their instincts, and it is estimated that it is because of their way of thinking about problems that they will use this way to deal with the problems that existed between Lina and Betty sisters back then, and this way is exactly the one I least like. ”
"But I have to admit that it's very efficient. Freya shrugged and said, "At least I can't think of any other way to completely solve their inner flaws like this, and let them get back on the right path without leaving any hidden dangers." I don't like it either, but many times, their approach is really the best option in theory. ”
"However, the best you say is not taking into account your personal feelings. There has always been a great difference in views between Catherine and Freya on these issues, which often leads to arguments like the one now: "You say that this is best only for the outcome, and maybe you think that you can sacrifice your personal feelings in order to achieve the best outcome, but I don't think so." In my opinion, the so-called results are actually made up of people, and only the method that does not cause harm to the heart of the person concerned is the best method, even if the final effect of this method will be slightly worse than your method. ”
"You two don't argue about what's happened. Pannis, who had been listening, couldn't help but sigh and shook his head: "For thousands of years, countless scholars and politicians have argued about this issue, but until today, they have not been able to come up with a standard answer, in fact, there is no standard answer to this kind of question itself, it is completely dependent on everyone's way of looking at the problem and attitude, so you are destined to be unable to convince each other, so why do you waste time?"
"What else are we going to do?" Catherine looked at Pannis helplessly, and said in a feeble voice, "Let's play a game of feathering with them, just like you?"
"It's fun. "Yes, yes, it's fun, we've been playing for over a hundred years. "He didn't even want to play with Kyle's brother before, but this is the first time I've played with him. "I still like Brother Kyle now, and he won't preach to us with a straight face. "Of course, Brother Kyle was good in the past, but it's even better now. "yes, yes, I'm getting more and more like Brother Kyle now. ”
"Look. Pannis spread out his hands and said with a deep smile on his face: "Sometimes, if you loosen the shackles that bind your soul and treat the world with the truest side, you will get greater happiness." ”
"You're right. Catherine sighed, pressed the corners of her forehead and said, "But the problem is, the shackles of your mind seem to be a little too loose, and the loose ones are really too special. Anyway, I can't think of anyone who, after loosening the shackles of his soul, would play a game of feathering at the banquet until he got under the table. ”
"Hahaha, today's dinner is really hearty. Pannis looked up at the sky and said with a dry smile, "It tastes good, well, it tastes good." (To be continued.) )
