"Well... If God really exists, why should those slaves be tormented, aren't they God's people?" he organized the wording and continued, "If... If God is just an image in people's minds, then who will tell who is right and wrong?"

"I'm a little surprised that you could say something like that. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

'Oh no, I got my identity wrong. Payne's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but get nervous.

But what he feared did not happen, and the oracle continued, "Slaves are of course God's people, but not all of them will be favored by God. God will only sense the presence of those who are trying to prove themselves to God—that is, we believe in God, so God gives us guidance. The oracle raised his head and seemed to look in God's direction, "In other words, everyone is fair, whether it is a slave or a nobleman, they have the opportunity to prove themselves to God." Of course, if you just rely on prayer, God will not pay attention to it, because in God's eyes, it is no different from delusional unearned gains. ”

When he heard the first half, Payne felt inexplicably irritable in his heart, but when he heard the end, he felt that what the other party said also made some sense. ――If the dream is just a thought, it is indeed impossible to achieve it, but the other party has put on the aura of a god, and it seems to be a little higher... That's all.

For a person with modern thoughts, these words are not even the ingredients for chicken soup for the soul, and the words just now make it difficult for him to agree with the other party's point of view.

"My Majesty, I have a doubt. ”

The oracle nodded.

"Slaves have no freedom at all, and even survival is a problem. Compared to the aristocracy, the beginning of life is not fair, but you just mentioned 'fairness'. ”

"They're all human, isn't it?" the oracle got up and walked down the steps, the tall figure facing the doorway, "The descendants of the slaves will no longer be slaves, they will be freed from the slave yoke... Regain your freedom. This was decreed by His Holiness the Pope, and it was also obliged by the three kingdoms. In other words, there are no natural slaves in this world, but they go against the will of God, or... , they are willing to degenerate. ”

There are no natural slaves!! -- In other words, to be reduced to slavery...... They brought it on themselves!

"Many of the Holy See are from slave families, including myself, but what does that mean?" Two blue lights flashed in the hood, and behind the tall figure of the divine envoy was a pair of translucent blue wings!

It appeared to be fifteen feet wide, and its blue glow enveloped the entire auditorium. This visual impact is like being in the pure ocean of God.

Suddenly there was such a scene, and the shock that Payne felt can be imagined! At this moment, it was as if the person standing in front of him was not a man, but a god!

Payne's mind was greatly impacted at this moment, and his heart was infected by the blue light, as if a bright seed was born in his heart,...... I couldn't help but ask, "What should I do?"

"Prove yourself to God, child. ... Prejudiced fantasies will only lead you into the vortex of depravity, and only that step is taken...... , you will appear in her sight. The oracle's voice became high-pitched, "Remember! To be favored by the gods, you need to have strong and indestructible faith, determination to overcome darkness, and courage not to fear death...... and a heart that is always full of hope. ”

......

When the blue light faded, everything returned to calm. Payne seemed to wake up from a dream...... The dreamlike scene made him no longer question the existence of the gods, and even... I felt the breath of God.

Payne suddenly realized,... This is not the world it used to be.

After calming down, Payne felt that the oracle's answer was like a panacea, and it didn't help him much at the moment. "Thank you, Divine Envoy, but I don't seem to be looking for the right direction. ”

"That's got to be specific, talk about your doubts, kid. The oracle's tone was extremely calm.

"I want to join the mercenaries, it's the fastest way to increase my strength," Payne said, "but they don't have a good reputation, or even bad reputation, and I can't make up my mind." ”

"There is no good or bad thing in itself, don't magnify its bad side infinitely and ignore its good side. ”

"You mean that being is truth?" Penn thought of Hegel's classic quote.

"Heh... Your understanding is very interesting, I think that's probably the truth. Here's a simple example: a mercenary needs to escort a shipment of supplies to the northern forts, which can make or break the battle on the front lines. But on the way, he was robbed by the poor...... Without these supplies, the poor would soon die, including the elderly, the weak, women and children. What would you do from a mercenary's point of view?"

Payne hesitated, he felt that it was a dilemma, and it seemed that no matter how he chose, he couldn't be satisfied, "I don't know, in this situation... The gods are in trouble, right?"

The god spread his hands and said lightly, "Of course not, the gods don't care about the dying poor, just as the Holy See of Light won't stop the slave trade, because that's the root of the depravity." ”

Payne was a little taken aback by this answer, but it seemed to have some truth in it, and he muttered to himself, "There must be something hateful about the poor man?"

The Divine Envoy was a little surprised by Payne's way of thinking, this ability to understand... It seems that it should not be in a poor man who may not even know how to read, and he is so young, "What's your name?"

"DiCaprio Payne. When Payne looked up, he suddenly felt like he was being watched by some kind of force. - It dawned on him for something.

"Payne, I remember your name," said the oracle, "do you need to continue?"

"Thank you very much for your enlightenment, Divine Messenger, I think I've found the answer. ”

"Don't thank me, Payne, I just conveyed the will of the gods. ”

"But thank you for giving me the will of the gods. Payne bowed deeply, then took his leave, "I think I should go, before dark... I have to go back to my accommodation. ”

The oracle nodded, not holding on, "May God bless you, Payne." ”

Payne bowed his head again, then turned to leave. As he reached the door, he stopped, turned around and asked, "By the way, Lord Divine Envoy, why is the war with the demons called the War of Divine Punishment?"

"You can see it as a test for us by the gods. ”

"Test?" again seemed to be an ambiguous answer.

"Yes, maybe one day you'll find your own understanding, if you can get into her sight. ”

......

The oracle looked at Payne's departing back, his eyes flashing two blue lights, "Very interesting young man." ”
