Chapter 857

After leaving the eternal church, Frank took his bodyguards to the slum to visit John, the God of Life Church.

John seems to be quite famous in the area. No matter who Frank asks, everyone will show respect.

This made him more curious about John the guardian.

Frank is no stranger to the Church of life. He often fought side by side with the elves who believed in the Church of life when he destroyed the demons who occupied the southern territory.

The elves are different from the description he saw from books when he grew up. They are brave and fearless, love fighting and adventure, and are all born fighters.

However, although they are very belligerent, they have a warm and kind heart unexpectedly.

Frank often saw them enthusiastically helping civilians and being especially friendly to the mercenaries who fought side by side with him.

Because of this, and all kinds of rumors about Fengyue's free collar, Frank was full of curiosity about the Church of life, and naturally had a strong liking for it.

Even so, he specially asked the elves for a book called the canon of life and read some doctrines.

Of course, favor is favor, and politics is politics.

Even though he was curious about the Church of life, Frank still made a clear distinction between the two.

He always believed that if he wanted to change everything, he still had to start with the eternal church rooted in the human world.

However, Adam, who visited his family, was rejected. In addition, he saw the inaction of the eternal church and the collusion between the fallen nobles and the church along the way. Finally, there was a little wavering in his heart.

Even the dependents of the church no longer pay attention to the common people. Only the nobles can visit them. He really doesn't know whether this eternal church, which once represented light and justice, can bring hope to the world

With some disappointment, Frank went to the slum under the guidance of the guide.

However, when he entered the slum, he was slightly stunned.

It's not that Frank hasn't been in the slums.

In his mind, slums often represent dirty and poor.

Stinking, disorderly, empty eyed, ragged

However, the scene in front of him was far beyond his expectation.

"Is this really a slum?"

Looking at the renovated buildings in front of him, as well as the orderly and clean streets, Frank could not help asking.

"Knight, this is La Rona's slum."

The guide replied with pride.

"Lie! We are not aristocrats who have never seen slums. It's fair to say that this is a civilian area in the inner city. How can it be a slum if it's so clean? "

Pro Wei Roland frowned and said unhappily.

"No... knight, a few months ago, larona's slum was not like this. It was all written by Lord John and his elf friends..."

The guide explained quickly.

"John? Spirit

Frank raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, Lord John said, change should start from the side, from the little things, just as the first appendix of the canon of life," life, rights and struggle "says: why not sweep the whole world without sweeping a room!"

"If you can't change your own environment, how can you change the world and pursue hope?"

"Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. Light and hope will not come by themselves, but will be pursued with their own will after they have taken action."

"The first thing to do is to change your mental outlook! Let your life be full of vigor and vitality again

"That's why... John took us to renovate the slum..."

"Well... Thanks to the elves. It is said that many of them are also admirers of Lord John. They follow Lord John and preach life belief. It is they who, under the command of Lord John, use magic to improve everyone's living environment."

The guide beamed, with a look of respect for John, the God's dependant, and a reverence for the doctrine of life.

Seeing him like this, Frank couldn't help asking:

"Are you also a believer in life?"

The guide nodded and said with pride:

"Lord Hui, as early as the first day Lord John came to La Rona, I became a believer in life. Not only that, but our family also became a believer in life!"

Hearing this, Frank's heart moved

"You live in slums, too?"

"Yes."

The guide nodded.

Frank's face changed completely.

Now, he's really surprised.

If he remembers correctly, the vast majority of the residents in the slums have been living in a muddle. As the existence forgotten by the city and the aristocracy, their status is not even much higher than those slaves in the black market.

There is no hope, there is no future, and it may even be killed at any time by the venting guards and the disorderly bandits, or involved in the struggle of the gangs

Even Frank didn't like them at all.

He knew that the Empire was ill now, and if he wanted to overthrow this decadent country, he needed the support of the people

However, the people he is optimistic about actually refer to those civilians who are more or less educated

This is about to mention that although the SEGS world is similar to the end of the Middle Ages on the blue star, because of the existence of magic, the knowledge popularization and literacy rate of this world are far higher than those of the blue star in similar periods.

Of course, the knowledge of magic, martial arts and other supernatural powers is hard for most ordinary people to touch.

For example, civilians with basic education accounted for one fifth of the population of the Empire.

Although one fifth seems to be very few, their composition is very important.

Among them are mainly the surplus freemen, businessmen, rich peasants and professionals.

Especially the professionals, the vast majority of the low-level professionals in the whole empire belong to the common people, and the low-level professionals account for more than 80% of all professionals.

In other words, the lower professional is the cornerstone of the extraordinary power, and the civilian class is the cornerstone of the lower professional.

At present, the magic of SEGS world has improved, and professionals have ushered in an explosive period. The most obvious strength fluctuation is this class.

In Frank's view, if we can integrate this force, we will have the ability to shake the aristocratic rule.

On the other hand, he was not optimistic about the poor and farmers who occupied nearly 80% of the population of the whole empire.

They have little education and few professionals.

Their physique is generally weak because of malnutrition. Even if they have hidden talents, it is difficult to rely on their own awakening power when magic recovers.

Not only that, because their spiritual power is often weak, in most cases, the quality of faith is also low, even the eternal church has gradually ignored them with the growing strength of the church.

In the extraordinary world, they are the weakest at the bottom.

The most common appearance of them is to hide in ragged clothes in a dangerous building that may collapse at any time, and look at the outside without concentration.

However, the guide in front of us is totally different.

Although his clothes are full of patches, they are clean, bright and full of color.

Although a little thin, but the mental outlook is very sunny, completely different from the poor Frank knew

Is this all done by Lord John?

The Church of life?

In less than three months?

Frank's eyes changed.

Seems to be aware of something, he quickly looked up to the slum, looking for the figure of those poor people.

When the poor people living here came to his eyes, they showed faces full of hope and light, just like the guides.

Their eyes are shining.

Not only that, Frank even shocked to see that there are a lot of professionals in it!

However, their strength is not high. They should have just awakened.

However, it has been very shocking.

You know, this is a slum. It's the most difficult place in the whole human world for professionals to be born. Even if the slaves were kept by nobles, the possibility of professionals being born is far higher!

Clean streets, smiling and hopeful residents, awakening professionals one after another

If such a scene appears in the inner city of the civilian areas, Frank is not surprised.

But this is the slum of the outer city!

Or... Slums!

And this change, probably only took less than three months!

Three months! Only three months!

What can we do in three months?

Three months is only enough for the nobles to tour the territory once.

Three months is only enough for the nobles to hold a big banquet.

Now, in just three months, the slums have changed dramatically

It's a miracle!

Frank opened his mouth and looked moved.

An indescribable shock came to his mind.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that he had been fighting with demons in the south, maybe he had missed a lot of things

At this moment, he also suddenly realized that maybe his understanding of Fengyue's free collar might be somewhat biased

In fact, most of those who fled to Fengyue were free citizens displaced by the war.

And the poor, there is no money to support them on the merchant ship.

Therefore, Frank always felt that Fengyue's free collar also relied on the gathering of the civilian class, growing

But now, he finds that he may be wrong.

The poor people he didn't value before... Seem to have some powerful power.

There was a sudden impulse in Frank's heart.

He wanted to see John the dependant as soon as possible, and he wanted to know how the other party did it.

He wants to know... Everything about the Church of life!

Taking a deep breath, he dismounted and walked into the slum.

John the guardian is not hard to find.

When Frank came to the other side under the guidance of the guide, the other side was in a temporary patient's cabin, using the magic of life to treat the poor people's pain free of charge.

Wearing a holy white robe, he exudes a touch of light and gives people a feeling of peace and warmth.

His stature is not tall, and even some thin, but he stands straight, small body seems to contain great power.

Frank didn't see his age, but he shouldn't be forty.

However, although less than 40 years old, it gives people a sense of time full of vicissitudes

What is worth mentioning is that after seeing the appearance of John, Frank always feels familiar and seems to have seen him somewhere.

But he was sure that he had never seen such a person!

At the same time, at this moment, Frank finally realized that the eternal Church... Was hopeless.

A church dependant can walk in the world, personally treat the poor, and teach them knowledge and faith

One of the church's God's dependents huddled in the church, which was called seclusion. In fact, there was no one except the nobles who held the real power

The Supreme Court made a judgment.

What will happen to the whole church if it is so?

At that moment, Frank thought a lot of

"Those who are far away from the masses are ultimately far away from them; Those who deviate from the times will eventually be abandoned by the times. "

I don't know why, Frank's mind suddenly came up with such a sentence.

That's what he saw when he looked through the canon of life.

He didn't feel much at that time.

But at this moment, looking at the attentive eyes of John, the God's dependant, and the respectful eyes of the poor people around him, Frank suddenly felt... He seemed to understand.

"Lord John, a knight wants to visit you!"

The guide called to John, who was busy.

Hearing the call, John released the last healing magic. He gently raised his head and looked at Frank.

At that moment, Frank only felt a pair of eyes full of brilliance.

Frank inexplicably felt a tight heart, even if he had seen a lot of big people, but at this moment, his heart was still floating a bit uneasy.

He stood up straight, put his right hand on his chest, slowly bent over, and made a standard mannian etiquette, saying:

"Frank, head of dawn mercenary regiment, met Lord John."

After listening to Frank's words, John's eyes showed a little surprise, and gradually changed from surprise to joy of seeing his old friend

"Sir Frank? Is that you? Why are you here? "

Then he looked Frank up and down, and he couldn't help sighing

"I haven't seen you for months. You seem stronger than before."

Frank was slightly stunned.

He looked puzzled

"Lord John, have we met before?"

"Well? Have you forgotten? "

This time, it was the turn of John the dependant.

He said with a gentle smile

"Sir Frank, we met a few months ago at the gold mine outside Luc. At that time, I was not blessed by the goddess's crown..."

Luc city? gold mine?

Frank was at a loss.

He looked carefully at John the divine, trying to see something from each other's appearance, while John the divine continued to smile and let him look at him.

The valve of memory opens slowly.

Gradually, the middle-aged man bathed in the Holy Light coincided with a figure in Frank's impression

"You? It's you? Old... Old John? "

Frank's eyes widened, and he could no longer resist the shock in his heart.
