"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. "Most of what the old bishop Keane said was true, except for the most crucial ones, and the art of understanding the language misled others, so that the uninformed 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 was just vague and perfunctory to everyone, and I was by no means distrustful of the parishioners, but just to give the two of them the best conditions for their cultivation and creation, 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 the Yala world, 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 in the church as a zài heir, unless it is 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 could lead to a succession battle is the death of the previous pope before he could establish a successor. In this way, sometimes bishops who are qualified to succeed the archbishop will begin to compete in secret, hoping to make the expression more prominent, so that the gods can choose themselves, and this period of power vacuum often causes a lot of confusion, 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 each of the four directions with a stern expression, and said with sincerity: "In order to express my apologies and make up for my mistakes." Today I will introduce the two of them to you, although in the future, Helena will continue to spread the glory of my lord in the mortal world of the Yala continent, and there will not be too many opportunities to meet you, but Betty will continue to follow me in the sanctuary until I can no longer serve my lord, and then she will take over my lord's scepter. Therefore, please do not care about my hidden mistakes, and help her to lead the Church as much as possible in the future, so that the name of our Lord can spread to every corner of the Yarra world. I'm here to thank you all. ”

"Really good at talking, someone who has been in the position of archbishop for decades. With her chin propped up, Freya listened to the old bishop's speech with a smile, and said with a bit of ridicule: "Not only do you forcibly turn unreasonable things into reasonable ones. And in a joking way, he used his age as an excuse so that no one could blame him, and in the end, he had to help the heir win over the middle and senior members of the church. Tsk, it's a waste for such a person not to be an aristocrat to study politics. ”

"Someone who leads a large church. How different is it from the nobles who lead a city or even a country?" As a descendant of the former 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 problem between Lina and Betty sisters back then, and this way is exactly the one I like the most. ”

"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 is always a big difference between Catherine and Freya's views on these issues, which often leads to arguments like now: "What you say is best is only for the result, maybe you think that you can sacrifice your personal feelings in order to achieve the best result, 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.) )
