Chapter 215: Elder Dong Baru
The feast did not end until midnight, when Liang Ke drank five kinds of wine and was drunk unconscious, and Flinter's attendants helped the drunken envoy back to the villa of Little Diego, and it was not until the next day that Liang Ke woke up to Deborah's bowl of sobering soup. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Why did you drink so much alcohol, drinking too much is very harmful to your body!"
Deborah handed the steaming towel to Liang Ke, Liang Ke took the towel and wiped his face, feeling a lot refreshed, exhaled a breath of turbidity, put on his shoes and got out of bed.
"I can't help it! The guy who was going to usurp the throne couldn't talk about it, so I had to get myself drunk. ”
"What kind of dynasty are you planning? What kind of position are you usurping?"
Deborah took the towel from Liang Ke, picked up his coat again, and helped him put it on. Liang Ke picked up a piece of bread from the small table next to the bed and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it twice, smoothed it down with a glass of milk, and replied hesitantly while eating: "It's not that Judgment Throne Pitoya, what kind of old pope is not doing his job, making the Holy See Hill a miasma, and even the sky is yellow." I didn't want my envoy to go to the god Wright and tell the old fellow, so that he could drive the old fellow out of the Holy See and sit in that chair by himself. Hey, how does he know that I, a Xibei, know the God of Light, but the old man of the God of Light doesn't know about me as a bird. You say, what else can I do if I don't pretend to be drunk?"
Deborah was amused by Liang Ke and giggled, she was tying a belt for Liang Ke, her hands wrapped around Liang Ke's thick waist from behind, her bulging chest was close to Liang Ke's back, and the little rabbit scurried around with a smile, making Liang Ke blush and heartbeat, and her heart was ape, turning her head and stretching out her big mouth to Deborah's red lips. The Assassin Queen would let him succeed in his sneak attack and escape from his clutches. She took off her cloak from the hanger, handed it to Liang Ke, and took off the funny Broadcom hat, Liang Ke pouted, and knocked the hat down on the bed.
"It's enough to wear such an ugly thing once, and remember to throw it into the fireplace to warm it up later. ”
Deborah knew that the cautious man was angry that she didn't kiss her, so she cocked her toes, kissed Liang Ke lightly on the cheek, and said with a red face, "Go away! Lord Felint's attendant has been waiting for a long time, saying that he will take you to the Elders' House at the behest of Woam. ”
Liang Ke touched his cheeks, his heart was sweet, and it was not so ugly to look at the hat again, so he grabbed the hat and put it on his head, and followed the attendant out of the door.
As soon as Liang Ke went down to the first floor, he saw six beauties standing on both sides of the staircase. These six exotic beauties were, of course, the maids that Pitoya gave to Liang Ke, and when they saw their master coming down, they hurriedly bowed down and greeted Liang Ke in unison.
"Good day, host!"
I don't know which god these beauties were trained by, their skin tones and appearances are different, and they come from different countries and races at a glance, among which there is even a fox girl with a plush tail in tow, the mainland lingua franca spoken by these maids is extremely standard, and the voice is mellow and beautiful, especially when they are matched together, there is actually a harmonic effect, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.
Liang Ke stopped, glanced around, and asked, "Who are you?"
"My name is Bomi, my name is Bomia!" said the fox girl who stood at the top wagging her big tail and smirked.
"My name is Kellans!"
"Amina Ruth!"
“......”
Liang Ke laughed secretly in his heart, the original owners of these beauties were also bad tastes, and their names ended in S, which reminded him of the far east, the Pansi Cave where the persistent monk had passed, and the spider spirits that had entangled. Liang Ke's hair exploded all over his body, if he was entangled by these goblins who could spin silk, he would not end well. He quickly shrunk his neck, buckled the hood of his cloak to his head, and ran away. The beauties craned their necks and looked at the back of their master leaving in a hurry, not knowing what they had said wrong.
The Senate is the highest administrative body of the Holy See, and if there is a major decision, the Pope can only propose it, and it must be approved and implemented only after consultation and majority agreement of the elders of the House of Elders. Normally, the elders of the House of Elders perform their own duties and are in charge of all the affairs of the entire Bright Sect, and Dombaru is the senior elder of the Dumar Academy.
Elder Dong Balu is in charge of more than a dozen research institutes large and small on the Holy See Mountain, fund approval, material allocation, project progress, and talent introduction, and there are many things on weekdays, but today Dong Balu waited in the office early, completely ignoring the flow of people more than ten meters outside the office.
Liang Ke walked into Dong Balu's office and had a good impression of this kind middle-aged man at first sight. Donbaru is in his forties, of medium build, and always has a warm smile on his face. He had already seen this young envoy at the banquet last night, and he had a drink with this young man, and when he met again today, he naturally did not feel strange, he greeted him with a smile and invited Liang Ke to sit on the soft sofa.
"The Divine Envoy just arrived last night, and I don't know if the dishes on the Holy See Hill are to taste, and when the banquet was dispersed, I saw that you seemed to be drunk, and I thought you wouldn't have come so early. Unexpectedly, just a few hours later, you are still in good spirits, what an enviable physique!"
Dong Balu poured Liang Ke a cup of light pine nut tea with his own hands, and then sat on the other side of the small table and talked with Liang Ke. To be honest, Liang Ke doesn't remember meeting this person yesterday, and he can't be blamed for it, no matter what, he has a sign of an oracle, even if the Pope intends to downplay this title, but there are still some people who will try their best to slap this messenger. So, there were dozens of people who drank with him last night, and after getting drunk, who can remember so much?
"The elder praised it falsely, my head is still buzzing now, if I didn't dare to delay my lord's divine will, I would have wanted to lie on the bed and fall asleep!" Liang Ke couldn't remember people's names, so he could only play haha.
"The Divine Envoy is too modest, just call me Donbaru. ”
Liang Ke laughed and took the opportunity to get closer.
"Don't call me a divine envoy anymore, there is no such thing as an envoy who can't do the magic of light, and laugh at the dead when you say it. Our Lord tells us that the congregation is a brother, and if you wish, call me Brother Aragorn, so that it may be more cordial. ”
"I can't ask for it!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, which can be regarded as establishing a preliminary friendship. After a short pleasantries, the conversation gradually got to the point.
"Yesterday the Throne of Woamu told me your intentions, and since His Majesty the Pope also wants you to learn more, then of course I, the senior elder, will fully cooperate with you. But I don't know what you want to learn?"
Facing the smiling Elder Dongbaru, Liang Ke scratched his head in embarrassment, took out the "Compendium of Research Compendiums of the Dumar Palace Research Institute" given by Flint from his arms, and pretended to look through it for a while. The cultural foundation of his previous life was weak, and he basically couldn't understand these advanced contents, and the old and spicy Dong Balu seemed to see Liang Ke's embarrassment, he squinted and said with a smile: "Our Holy See Mountain Research Institute has a very wide range of scope, even I, the senior elder, can't explain all the academic research fields clearly. If you think this is good, I will tell you the basic situation, and then you can make a choice according to your interests and hobbies. ”
Liang Ke came to his senses when he heard Dong Balu say this, and with a "pop!" sounded the booklet still on the table, and listened carefully to Elder Dong Balu's explanation.
"There are a total of nineteen research institutes on the Holy See Hill, and there are countless research institutes below, each with its own specialized topics. Our main research directions are theology, magic mysteries, the essence of martial arts, military strategy, politics, economics, continental historiography, geography, and life and soul. Of course, literature, art, astronomy, mathematics, philosophy, and so on are also within the scope of research, but the power invested is not as great as the previous ones. If I have nothing to do today, I will tell you in detail about what you are studying in these fields. Let's talk about theology first, theology, which is our theology of light, which needs to be studied the most seriously, which are divine language, divine art, doctrine, divine canon, divine history, ......"
Elder Dong Balu introduced in great detail, dissecting the main research areas one by one, for fear that this young man would not understand. Liang Ke nodded while listening, looking serious, but he was actually calculating which one to choose in order to have a chance to get close to Gandosa. When he was worried, Elder Dongbaru happened to introduce the main research direction of the Life and Soul Research Institute, and the Elder's introduction couldn't help but make his eyes light up, and his heart fluttered.
"Life and soul, for us ordinary people, is the most mysterious realm, and it is also the realm that everyone most wants to understand, figure out, and even control. The reason is very simple, who doesn't want to live forever?" Seeing that the young man on the other side craned his neck and listened carefully to his explanation, he was willing to talk more. Elder Donbaru filled the empty teacups of the two of them and asked unhurriedly, "Brother Aragorn, how do you think a person can do it if he wants to live forever?"
"Eternal life......? Is this possible?" Liang Ke pretended to be innocent, but the confusion of young people can always be forgiven by the elders, Elder Dong Balu laughed, touched his short beard and said, "Since all gods and spirits exist, nothing is impossible. I'll give you the most extreme example, if there is another Master Jonah, who is recognized by the gods by virtue of a talent that surpasses the ordinary in one aspect, then he will have an immortal soul when he becomes a new god. ”
Liang Ke felt that Dong Balu's words were a little disrespectful to the gods, he subconsciously looked up at the roof, Dong Balu patted Liang Ke's arm, and said with a smile: "Don't worry! The gods don't care what we ants say." Perhaps, in the eyes of the gods, we are just invisible specimens of dust in front of us. ”
Liang Ke would never have thought that the senior priest in front of him would have such thoughts, he opened his mouth and stared at the kind old man in front of him, not knowing what was going on in his head. Dong Balu seemed to be in a particularly good mood today, he put down the cup in his hand and continued: "I'll give you another example, and you can understand this truth. I have heard that you once served in the Northern Army of the Garente, then you should know that if an army wants to win a war, it depends on the military spirit, and the military soul is, to put it bluntly, the personal thoughts of the army commander, and his willpower. All soldiers need to identify with his ideas and follow their own code of conduct, so that they can ensure that the army acts in a uniform manner and can win against the enemy. In such a team, every soldier clearly knows who the chief officer is, and fully trusts and worships him, and fully agrees with his thoughts, but as the chief officer of the army, it is impossible to know every soldier, he only needs to maintain his authority, grasp the will of the main officer, install some eyeliners, understand the wind direction of the grassroots soldiers and guide them, and he can control the army well. You see, in fact, the relationship between the gods and the believers is the same, but there are so many soldiers under his command that I can't count them, so the fact that the gods don't know the existence of you and me does not affect our belief in and worship of the gods. ”
Dong Balu's explanation was simple and simple, which made Liang Kemao pause, and after a few words, the status of this smiling elder in his heart increased a lot. Donbaru took a sip of water and continued, "Back to what we just talked about. An ordinary person, if he wants to live forever, there are no more than several ways. The first is to find some kind of miracle medicine to keep one's body fresh forever, and the soul will not rot the shell of the sojourn, so that people will naturally not die, except for being killed, of course; Of course, it is very difficult to do this, as soon as the soul leaves the body, the channel of the underworld will be opened, and the soul will float to the underworld, and it is almost impossible for the soul to exist alone. In addition, wandering souls are very fragile, and it is almost impossible to successfully erase the soul from someone else's body, unless that soul has the power of a god. Third, if the soul has gone to the underworld, we have to find a way to pull the soul back to our world, and the resurrected body needs to be fresh, which is the most difficult to deal with. Of course, we have not succeeded in the first two cases, otherwise, the Holy See Hill would not have changed forty-two popes back and forth. ”
Liang Ke frowned and asked, "Isn't immortality the preserve of the gods......?"
"Hahahaha! Who told you that eternal life is a forbidden area for human beings? Even if you and I live for tens of thousands of years, we still consume the resources of this continent, what does it have to do with the gods? Don't worry, there will be wars when there are more people, and some people want to destroy you in order to obtain the good things you have accumulated, and if you want to never die, that's just a luxury!"
Dong Balu's words suddenly woke Liang Ke up, yes! Even if you live a long life, once your physical body is destroyed, you will still fly to the underworld. But His Holiness the Pope is different, he is at the pinnacle of this world, and as long as the gods do not punish him, under heavy protection, his eternal life may indeed be immortal. No wonder this old guy would desperately study this power, while others were not necessarily active. Liang Ke was silent for a moment before making a decision.
"Elder, since the gods have asked me to study, then theology is probably something I must study, and it is my compulsory course. In addition to theology, I also have some interest in martial arts. And also...... Also, I want to observe the study of the mystery of life, I wonder if it is possible?"
"No problem!"
