During the conversation with Laurent, Lu Yu truly felt his profound wisdom and vision beyond ordinary people.

Having been in charge of the Theocracy for eighty years, he analyzed the future situation of Mela thoroughly, with a clear context, except that Sera sat in the position of God's Chosen and has a corresponding knowledge reserve about it, and can deeply understand the logical relationship between each other. Yu and Lulu couldn't keep up with Laurende's rhythm at all, and sometimes they could only passively listen to his answers.

The loyalty and bravery of the Yeti was affirmed by Laurende, but he was also determined to die by Laurende.

Without external interference, Solon would only grow big but not fall, die but not stiff, just like Melias back then.

Internal conflicts in Cordzon will be suppressed, but they will eventually erupt in an extremely violent way, directly destroying the ruling structure.

Sligowood is abundant, and the monarch seems incompetent and fatuous, but delicately maintains the balance between the new and old nobles.

...

After a long talk, Sera put away the notes contentedly.

No matter how stupid Lu Yu and Lulu were, they understood one thing.

The gift to children is something that can arm themselves, and the gift to them is "wisdom".

Not everyone can get Laurende's teachings, even the bishops and high priests of the Theocracy rarely have the opportunity to get teachings in private.

This is actually the reason why some people don't like Serra - a rabbit that was picked up became a god's choice, and was favored by the Pope and taught him personally.

If it were Lu Yu, he would be jealous too.

Serra's ability is so outstanding, there is definitely a credit for the Pope. Those who saw Sierra ascending to high positions step by step must be very unwilling, and those who are jealous of her may even think that if it is themselves, they can also have such outstanding achievements.

Sera and Lulu took the "children" downstairs first, and Laurent left Lu Yu alone.

"You seem to have something to say to me."

There is nothing better than being caught by the teacher when you are absent-minded during "class".

At this time there were only two people in the room, Lu Yu took a deep breath, and said bluntly: "Are you planning to let Sera take over the position and become the new Pope?"

The position of Pope has not yet been determined. After contacting him during this period of time, Lu Yu didn't think it was because Laurent was obsessed with power. He was very curious about the real reason behind it.

Laurent turned his head slightly, with a strange smile on the corner of his mouth: "Why do you have such an idea... Oh, I understand, you are worried that Serra will repeat the story of me and her after becoming Pope?"

"ha?"

Lu Yu only felt that Laurende hit his head with a heavy hammer just now, buzzing.

"You reacted very well."

"teach…"

"Well-"

"Well, I just want to say that it's hard for me not to respond to the sentence just now."

Laurent looked curious: "So you prefer the Scarlet Witch?"

"Huh?" Lu Yu lost his voice again.

"This reaction, I miscalculated, is it a moment or Sigrid?"

Lu Yu covered his forehead: "Why do we discuss such a topic?"

Laurent moved to the side of the bed, and Lu Yu quickly stepped forward to help him.

When they came to the balcony, Lu Yu and Laurent looked down. Sera and the others were sitting on the stone table in the courtyard and chatting with smiles.

"Lu Yu, do you know that Sera actually has no friends. Apart from Lulu, you are the people she mentioned the most, and she brought you here...you are the only opposite sex."

"So you naturally think that she likes me?" Lu Yu said, "I have to admit that Sierra is really good-looking, and she also thinks in the same way as me. We often think of each other, but it doesn't mean that there is something between us. There is no special relationship between them, I have to say...we are just collaborators with a common purpose now."

Laurent didn't answer, but looked at the silver maple tree swaying with the breeze in a daze, and after a long time, he said: "The way you deal with the big turmoil is to build your own manor and hide there, right? "

Lu Yu nodded and admitted frankly that he would not leave the manor until the end of the turmoil. After all, it is hard to say what will happen in an era of turmoil.

"Let me think about it... Sera must have told you that she will stay in the Church and not act with you, right?"

Sera's mind is almost one-way transparent with Laurent, and what he said hits the mark.

"I have a way to let Sera go through the turbulent times with you without losing the status of the Theocracy. The manor you and Lulu are planning must have her place... Please promise me this."

Lu Yu was stunned for a moment: "We shouldn't interfere with Sera's decision, she has her own decision, we have to respect it..."

"After I die, the Theocracy will not stabilize soon. Sera is my chosen god, and she is also one of the people who receive the most care from me and are closest to me. Lu Yu, come and tell me, she stayed in Theocracy, what will happen?"

Lu Yu was startled.

Laurent's reputation is really too strong, the whole Meera, no matter what country, no matter what race, there are legends about him and the Theocracy. Judging from the past that he was even able to mediate vendettas between feuding races, it is said that people of different races are It's never too much to sell him.

This is still external, and within the Theocracy, the entire Theocracy has been operating normally since Laurent became seriously ill. Although some people couldn't help but want to do something, they were just eavesdropping on news, sneaking in to steal information and other petty thefts.

No one dared to exceed his authority, and no one dared to stir up trouble while he was alive.

The violent organs and functional agencies of the Theocracy only obey the orders of Laurent, and countless believers spontaneously prayed for Laurent, only asking the God of Radiance to slow down the pace of summoning him.

This prestige is too strong, so strong that even if Laurent dies, there will be no signs of letting go.

Facing the hot tea, the new Pope will be compared with Laurent no matter what he does in his daily life, and he is all the team left by Laurende, so his mentality will inevitably be out of balance.

Sera is not Laurende's team to pave the way for the next Pope, she is more like a beacon set up by Laurende to strengthen believers' worship of the God of Radiance. In this environment, if Serra If he still wants to act freely in the church, he will inevitably be greatly criticized. At least the new pope will definitely do something to demean Serra in order to establish his authority when he just took over.

Seeing Lu Yu's complexion suddenly changed, Laurent patted him on the shoulder appreciatively.

"Let her leave temporarily until the dust settles. If she still wants to come back, let her do it."

Lu Yu swallowed, and struggled to get the words out of his mouth.

"You also think that the God of Radiance does not exist, do you?"

It takes courage to say this. According to rumors, Laurent is the most devout believer in the God of Radiance, and has worked hard to practice the dogma for eighty years.

Laurende looked at the silver maple tree in the distance swaying its branches with the breeze, and his eyes were firm: "It doesn't matter whether the entity exists or not. The important thing is that they need the God of Radiance."

"Lu Yu, you are still young, maybe you can't think through some things so clearly, and you will think that non-existence is deceitful in black and white... But in my opinion, you and I can both be the god of glory."

"The first miracle performed by the God of Radiance was to cast light in the pouring rain. When the rain stopped, those who were illuminated by him naturally became his first believers. Save those who are in despair and let them take up courage Looking forward to something good happening tomorrow, this is the meaning of the existence of the God of Radiance... This era has lost a lot of good things, people are numb and suffering, and they need some hope to make them less painful."

"They needed it, so I stood up..." Laurent suddenly felt a sense of pride in his aging body, "I practiced all the dogmas of the creator with practical actions, and made myself the leader of the God of Radiance on the earth." Incarnation, do my best to let this light spread to more people. Use the accumulated prestige to make merchants and nobles give up one more grain of rice for the poor people, pay one more copper coin, and let those who are in shackles People with collars get less whips and more meals...I have won for them benefits that are difficult to win in this era, allowing them to live with more dignity."

"I've come to the end of this road...I've been walking for a whole life, too tired and too bitter, but I did it." Laurende asked earnestly, "Now do you think, does the God of Radiance exist?"

Lu Yu was left with shock and deep admiration.

"He does exist"

Laurende said: "I will not hand over the Pope to Serra, because I know that she is as responsible as I am..."

"Then the future of the Theocracy..."

"The way of future generations is to be followed by future generations. I have done enough... If one day in the future, a god is really born from this vast prayer and condensed into a true glorious god, then he must not Will be angry with the decision I made... I served a god that was not born for eighty years, I voluntarily put on a mask for the glory in my heart, deceived myself, and deceived the world...I have done everything, and I am tired of this Life."

"I will write my last wish under the silver maple tree - one day the God of Radiance will be born... Please don't recall me."

"Your loyal pastor only wants to pursue the peace of mind and go far away with the girl who has been let down."

"If you are really kind, please grant me a soul, to stay with her forever, and to repay all the obligations that I failed to fulfill during my lifetime."
