Chapter Ninety-Seven: Different Paths

Abbas stretched out his hand to stop Lucy, who wanted to draw his sword, and said to me: "Chris, since you and your companions have come this far, you must have experienced a lot of things, I believe you have also seen many shortcomings in this country, if you don't change it as soon as possible, the situation will get worse in the future, so, why don't you join us, with your current strength, you will definitely become our new knight, and don't forget, your eldest brother- Roy is here too, and you brothers will be able to fight side by side, even though he didn't want you to be involved before, but now that it's come to this, I'm sure he won't object anymore, right?" Abbas finished speaking, and glanced at the eldest brother, this time the eldest brother did not show any objection, but just stood there and watched me quietly, as if waiting for me to make a final decision.

I looked at Abbas and my eldest brother, and then I turned my head to look at everyone, they were also waiting for my answer to Abbas, as my companions, I believe they should also act with me, right? Will they join the "Carlson Honor" and become their new knights? Or will they refuse to join them and be hostile to the eldest brother, Abbas and Lucy?

Eventually, I told Abbas my decision: "I'm sorry, I'm not going to join you!"

"Oh?~" Abbas's expression was a little surprised, "I thought that a promising young man like you could understand the ideas of our organization to some extent, but did you still say no to me? Your answer really makes me sad for this bad old man~"

"I do see a lot of ugliness in the country, Ax, no, let me call you Principal Abbas, but I don't agree with many of your actions, because they are too extreme and arbitrary..." On the government's side, on the other hand, the unrestricted foreign trade behavior seems to be the right thing, but the consequences may be quite serious! However, in any case, your behavior will only make ordinary citizens panic and fear, and it is a kind of dictatorial practice that I take for granted, and I will not agree with it. ”

"Yes, you don't agree with us, you don't support the government, is there any other way you can solve this state of affairs in the country? If you don't, then you won't please either side, young man~" Principal Abbas reminded me.

This made me wonder, how could a person like me, who doesn't like politics, come up with any good policies for governing the country? If I could come up with some rules and regulations, I wouldn't be a mercenary, but would just run for parliament!

"Hmm—" I began to search for something high-sounding to deal with Headmaster Abbas.

"I think the Goddess of Light will give us guidance..."

A gentle voice came from behind me, and when I looked back, it was Anne, who was introverted and clenched her scepter with both hands, her body trembling slightly, I guess she was very nervous now! I didn't expect her to speak at this time, even Principal Abbas was stunned.

Anne continued, "I have been studying the teachings of the Church of Light these days, and I have often wondered, what is the use of believing in the Goddess of Light? Love and hate, life and death, we should help each other while we live, and aim for the prosperity of the entire continent and the happy life of all people, so that we can fundamentally solve the problem and completely put an end to discrimination, crime, war, and many other sad and frightening things. Everyone should have faith and know what to do and what not to do, and this power should be greater and broader than the influence of law and morality!"

We listened intently to Anne's words, and her words suddenly made a warm current in my heart, just like when I saw the woman in white in a dream, and these words were like a bright torch that showed me the way in my heart.

"The power of faith? seems like a good way to do it!" Neil said thoughtfully, pinching his chin.

"The Temple Kingdom has believed in the Goddess of Light for thousands of years, and everyone is a believer in the Church of Light, and they have lived there so peacefully and peacefully for thousands of years, and it is a very beautiful country. "As a scholar, Neil saw an introduction to the history of the Temple Kingdom out of nowhere and said to us.

"Yes, we can promote the teachings of the Holy Light Church, so that more people can unite and love each other, without discrimination and struggle. Emma agreed, saying that she had fallen asleep while listening to the priest's teachings in the church, but that she had the patience to listen to them.

"Sister Annie's idea is quite good!" Alan agreed, wagging his tail.

"The Goddess will definitely support us in doing this!" said Harvey, who was already a believer in the Church of Light.

Lawrence also kept nodding, and then said loudly to Lucy: "Yes, Miss Lady has a point, so, Lucy, you can get out of that 'Carlson Illuminati' and come with me to the church to worship the statue of the goddess..."

"It's the 'Carlson Glory Regiment', you idiot! I don't believe in any goddess, I only believe in myself, with my hands I can definitely change the country, how can the goddess help me do these things?" Lucy interrupted Lawrence strongly, and made this boy brother speechless, it is really one thing to one thing!

"Hmph, Lao Tzu doesn't care what goddess is not a goddess, now that Lao Tzu's state has almost recovered, hurry up and let Lao Tzu have a fight, Lao Tzu's double axe is already hungry and thirsty!" Saoga had an impatient expression, just wanting to start fighting quickly.

"You're all a bunch of idealists... Look at this barbaric berserker in front of you, do you think he can accept the teachings of the Holy Light Church? I guess it's just playing the harp to the cow, this world is far from being as simple as you think, people nowadays pay more attention to practicality, it is the immediate benefits, can the goddess of faith bring them food and wine? No! Not to mention the mansions and manors, these are all fought for by their own hands, and even intrigue to achieve their own goals, as a person who has come over, I advise you not to be too naïve! The Kingdom of Nirisan will soon send an army to attack us, do you think that telling them the teachings of the Church of Light will make them change their ways and put down their weapons and go back?"

"I don't expect to achieve that effect overnight, just as I don't believe that this coup d'état of yours can make all the ills of the country disappear in an instant, what you do will only bring chaos and unrest in society, and then lead to new chaos, a vicious circle, and Anne's method is the key to solving the problem once and for all. After listening to Anne's words, I said to Principal Abbas, "All we need is time, and I may not see the whole continent flourishing in my lifetime, but I believe that after several generations or even dozens of generations, I will be able to achieve my goal." So, I'm still going to stop you here, because I don't agree with what you're doing, and big brother, I can only say sorry to you! ”

"It's impossible, Chris, this girl named Anne has a point, but I also have my own obsessions, my great revenge has not been avenged, and the blood feud I bear is something you can't understand at all, and I can't do it if I want to give it up! Neil, I didn't want you to get involved in my hatred before, but now that you are standing here, and you have your own beliefs, unfortunately, we are enemies from now on, so be mentally prepared!" The eldest brother, who had been silently beside him, took off his beast slashing knife at this time, and put on a posture of wanting to fight us...
