Vol 2 Chapter 857: Awakening of faith

John the Favored is actually Old John!
It has only been a few months, how did he become a respected goddess of life?
Frank looked at Old John, his heart was shaken, and he couldn't calm down for a while.
He carefully looked at the beloved who was regarded as a mentor by the poor, and it was difficult to connect him with the vulgar miner in the mine of Luc City a few months ago...
Is the Life Church really so powerful?
Can you completely change a person in just a few months?
What has happened to Old John?
"You...didn't you go to Zeroland? How did you come to La Rona? And you became the favored one?"
After all, he couldn't help but ask his own question.
After listening to Frank's words, Old John sighed slightly and told about his experience in the past few months:
"It's a long story, thanks to the love under the goddess' crown..."
"Your Excellency Frank, after traveling to Zeroland, I visited the Life Church and became a Life Cultist."
"And after knowing the doctrine of the goddess of life, I finally found my way..."
With that said, Old John said with a solemn expression, solemnly and sincerely:
"The empire is decayed, the nobility has fallen, and the eternal church is still lost in the glory of the past. Only the living church can save this increasingly dark age, and only the living church can make the world self-awaken and free from suffering..."
Frank's heart moved.
Looking at Old John's gaze full of pride and faith, he couldn't help asking:
"John...sir, why are you so sure?"
Old John smiled gently.
He glanced at Frank deeply and said:
"Your Excellency Frank, you have come here, don't what you saw along the way is enough to prove it?"
Frank was silent.
Old John was right.
Since coming to the slum, he has not been shocked for a moment.
A renewed slum, a hopeful slum, a vigorous vigor...
All of this is subverting his cognition.
Frank suddenly felt that the knowledge he had learned in the past ten years might be completely wrong in some way...
Looking at the smiling faces of the poor people full of sunshine and hope, he felt that he had faintly grasped something.
But not enough.
Many things that happened before him were beyond the scope of his existing knowledge, and he couldn't figure out the meaning behind it.
He needs a wise man to guide himself...
At this point of thought, Frank no longer cared about the surprise and shock in his heart.
He took a deep breath and saluted Old John again:
"Master John, I have doubts in my heart, I want to ask you..."
"Why... why are the slums that the world is not optimistic about, and under your leadership, such drastic changes can happen in just a few months?"
Frank really wanted to know why.
Because if he can also arouse the fighting spirit of the poor, and can reinvent the poor like Old John, he has the hope of leveraging the rule of the nobles!
After all, the poor accounted for 80% of the entire human world. Even if the probability of birth of a professional is small, the accumulation of less is a terrible force.
At this moment, Frank saw the hope of changing the world!
"Because of love, because all things are equal, because every life has unlimited possibilities..."
Old John said piously.
"Love? All things are equal?"
Frank's eyes were a little blank.
Old John did not directly answer Frank's question.
He smiled gently, and then asked:
"Lord Frank, do you love this world?"
Frank was even more confused.
"Sir John, I... I don't quite understand, can you explain it in detail?"
He asked.
Old John smiled:
"No hurry, you may understand by staying with me for a while."
After speaking, he glanced at Frank deeply and smiled:
"I can see that you are now standing at a fork in your life, and your eyes are full of confusion about the future. If you can find the meaning of life by yourself, maybe... it will be better for your future."
After listening to Old John's words, Frank swallowed back the question in his heart.
He looked at the smiling poor around him, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.
He was really curious about the changes in the slums, the old John, the life church...
He believes that if he understands everything himself, then what he wants to do will surely usher in the dawn of hope.
Just as he named his mercenary group...
In this way, Frank took his guards to live in the slums of La Rona.
He became Old John's deputy and began to assist each other in daily affairs.
Old John's life is very regular.
This benefactor of the Church of Life only sleeps for four hours a day, and is busy at other times.
Sermon for the poor in the morning, imparting faith and knowledge.
In the morning, take the elves and the poor to build slums, learn life skills, or open up wasteland in the suburbs...
In the afternoon, treat the poor for free, and bring the believers to pray together.
In the evening, personally baptize the gifted poor people and unlock extraordinary power...
Day after day, never stop.
And as time went by, Frank personally saw that the slums became better day by day, and more and more people gathered here.
In the end... not just the poor, refugees and homeless people, even ordinary civilians in La Rona, began to appear here.
Looking at Old John, who was always smiling and pleased with the changes in the ghetto, at that moment, Frank finally understood what the other party was talking about "love".
I am afraid that it is precisely because of his love for the "world" that Old John chose to stay here as a favored one!
He told Old John what he thought, but only a slight smile from Old John in exchange.
The other party did not deny, but also did not approve.
At this moment, Frank knew that what he thought was still not enough.
He continued to observe.
As he was stationed in the slum, Frank gradually got acquainted with the poor.
By assisting the old John, he gradually participated in the construction of the slums, personally led the mercenaries, helped the poor to improve their living environment, or taught the talented poor people’s martial arts...
He would not do these things before.
In other words, he never considered doing it in the past.
Not to mention that the other party is a poor, just the difference between the identities of the extraordinary and ordinary people determines that professionals will not impart extraordinary knowledge to mortals who have nothing to do with them.
But now, under the leadership of Old John, not only Frank, but also the mercenaries who followed him, have gradually broken this unspoken rule...
Over time, the poor became more and more friendly to Frank.
In the end, they treated him with respect as they did to Old John.
"Good morning! Lord Frank!"
This is the word Frank hears every morning.
And Frank, uncomfortable from the beginning, turned into a smile, nodding in response.
Days change day by day, and finally... the annual harvest festival is ushered in.
Harvest Festival…
This is a fairly old festival on the mainland.
In the life church, this is also the most important holiday of the year.
In the slums of La Rona, this year's harvest festival is destined to be grand.
On this day, the residents of the entire slum, ushered in a festive carnival...
Unknowingly, the number of life believers gathered here has exceeded 10,000, and everyone prayed to the goddess of life Eve, celebrating the harvest, the change of life, and the bright future...
And on this day, Frank received gifts from the poor.
It was a white cloak, made of some kind of precious beast skin.
Frank was surprised at this, because he knew the origin of this monster skin, which should be a kind of demon mink living in the southern mountains, and its fur is extremely valuable.
This cloak alone is worth a hundred gold pounds!
This money, perhaps before, Frank could easily take it out.
But after leaving the family and forming a mercenary group, it would be difficult for him to spend so much money on a decorative cloak.
Of course, he can still take out one hundred gold pounds.
But what was given to him was not himself, but the poor...
Where do they get so much money?
Frank was surprised.
Soon, he got the answer...
"Master Frank, we heard Master Roland say that you have always wanted to have a demon mink cloak. In order to thank you for taking care of us these days, we discussed it and we exchanged the money together and bought a demon mink fur from the fur merchant. , Made a cloak for you."
"hope you'll like it!"
Surrounded by his companions, a poor representative offered Frank his cloak with his hands.
Looking at his brilliant smile, feeling the sincerity and closeness of the poor, at this moment... Frank's heart was inexplicably soft and slightly sour.
A warm current, like a spring breeze, flows slowly in his heart...
"No, this is what I should do, this cloak is very expensive, you guys..."
He subconsciously wanted to decline.
"Master Frank, please accept it. It's all our intentions!"
The poor persisted.
In the end... Frank accepted the gift.
The fur of the devil mink is very soft.
Because of the characteristics of wind elemental magic, the cloak made of this fur is very light and can even reduce gravity for the wearer.
Stroking the snow-white cloak, Frank's heart became softer and softer.
"Your Excellency Frank, do you understand now?"
A familiar voice sounded from behind, it was Old John.
Frank turned his head and saw that the other person was looking at him with a smile.
He was stunned, and didn't understand the other party's meaning for a while:
"Master John, you mean..."
"Of course it's the question you asked me before. How, do you... feel the love now?"
Old John asked gently.
"Love?"
Frank's heart moved.
Old John suddenly took out a small mirror from his arms and placed it in Frank's hand:
"Lord Frank, see how you look in the mirror."
Frank picked up the mirror subconsciously and looked inside.
It was still the handsome face he was familiar with.
However, compared to when he left the family, he was a lot more embarrassed, his hair had grown very long, and he had a messy beard.
However, the eyes of the person in the mirror were brighter than ever.
There was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, it seemed that something happy had happened, and there was a different kind of tenderness in his eyes.
Seeing what he was like, Frank was stunned.
"This…"
"this is Love."
Old John said.
"Love…"
Frank murmured.
He suddenly raised his head and looked out the window.
At night, the stars are scarce, but the slums are still brightly lit, the bonfire is burning, and laughter is gradually coming...
People sang, laughed, danced, danced together, celebrated together.
That was the bonfire party of the Harvest Festival.
In addition to the poor, you can also see the mercenaries who follow him and the elves who assist Old John.
All races and different identities gather together at this moment, laughing together, singing and dancing together.
Everyone has a smile on their faces, and everyone hangs over their shoulders, like brothers and sisters...
Seeing this harmonious scene, Frank was in a daze.
The doubts in his mind were suddenly solved. At this moment, Frank finally understood the problem he had been unable to figure out...
"That's it... So it's so..."
"I was wrong, so... I was always wrong..."
Frank murmured.
He got it.
He finally understood!
The power that changes here, everything that changes everything here, turned out to be "love"!
That is not only the love of old John for the believers and the world, but also the love of the poor for each other, for themselves, for the future...
This love has made the world beautiful, this love has decorated life, this love... has inspired the impoverished people to change everything.
Love is hope, faith, and the power of their awakening!
wrong.
I have been wrong all the time!
Although he wants to change the world, even though he wants to change this era, he himself has forgotten that everyone is a part of this era...
He still did not break out of the shackles of aristocratic identity, and he still did not see what is the most vast and most difficult existence under the darkness...
He did not really care about the masses of the poor, did not realize that they are the cornerstone of the human world, did not realize that they can also use love to influence, use love to inspire, and use love to awaken...
At the same time, he also realized that he lacked sufficient fraternity, lack of broad-mindedness, and lack of far-sightedness.
He didn't really set his sights on the poor, didn't really love the world, didn't really love a hopeful and beautiful future...
He just realized that there was a problem in this world, but he didn't delve into the essence.
At this moment, Frank also deeply realized that what he lacks is nothing else, but a beacon to show the way for himself!
"It seems... you already understand."
Looking at Frank who was excited, Old John smiled slightly.
"There is a saying in the "Sacred Book of Life" that if you want to achieve real success, you should achieve the unity of knowing and doing..."
"You have gained enough feelings through your actual feelings, you have a clear understanding of yourself, you have a clear understanding of the world..."
"Now, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, I think it's time to teach you what is the real power that can change this world."
Old John looked gentle and pious.
With that, he took out a set of books from his arms.
It's not something special, it's the "Sacred Book of Life" and several supporting textbooks...
A book of "Life, Rights and Struggle"
A book of "Life Church Theory and Fengyue Freedom Leadership Thought"
A copy of "The Relationship Between Feudal Aristocracy and Eternal Church"
A book of "Equality, Fraternity and the Future"
