Ark's Journey to the Demon God

"Then we still choose the law." The Pope said slowly: "Our law has lasted for thousands of years, so it will continue for another thousand years. This is Lateran's choice."

"This is not rational, Your Holiness, you cannot shut down the possibility of change."

"Then we have to follow you and walk on the road of no return?!"

The Pope's tone suddenly became stern, and he said seriously: "Look at these streets and alleys, look at those smiling faces, Agaritu, who are you? You don't belong to us, why do you want to involve us? Your war?!”

"I said, Agaritu, your road is your own, not ours. If you think you are right, then just go for it, but don't drag the Laterans, Lateran, no Your tools.”

"But you said that the merciful Lord is with me." Shen Muke was a little disappointed. He looked at the Pope and said, "Since the Lord is with me, why don't His apostles help me?"

"Because you are not an apostle of God." The Pope looked at Shen Muke and said, "You are not our kind, Agaritu, you are just an ambitious man who was dazzled by his ideals."

"Careerist? Me?" Shen Muke pointed at himself in astonishment, and finally sighed helplessly:

"Perhaps, Your Majesty the Pope, I am indeed an ambitious person. My ambition is too broad and even seems a little crazy... But Your Majesty the Pope, what I pursue is that everyone is equal, everyone can do what they can, and everyone gets what they need. In the ideal world, isn’t this the same as the kingdom of heaven on earth in Lateranism, but they lead to the same destination by different paths? Why can’t they be recognized by the Lord?”

"Your Excellency Agaritu, you are too idealistic." The Pope shook his head and said: "Not everyone can understand your intentions. There are too many disputes and sufferings in this world that originate from [misunderstandings]. If you It’s a sakota, and you might understand.”

"I am not Sakota, and this land is not Sakota's land, but Your Majesty the Pope, the teachings of Lateran must not be just a wish, it should be fulfilled."

"But this can't be done, Agaritu, I think you should understand this problem better than me." The Pope said calmly: "You know better than me that those people outside Lateran will not let go of their hearts. Grudge, just like the Sakaz people will never forget the bloody feuds."

Shen Muke was silent for a long time. Of course he understood what the Pope meant. In fact, the history of Sakaz's blood feud also reflected the awkward problems of other races. The rise of no race was not stained with the blood of foreigners. Hatred is really a shameless thing. solution.

"Let it go, Agaritu. This is a road of no return. You may have enough confidence to drive yourself forward, but others cannot. They don't understand your wishes and will not follow you forward."

The Pope looked into the distance, and believers walked out of the cathedral one by one. Some of them were Luper and some were Liboli. The same thing was that their expressions were all calm.

"Look at these people... I know clearly that they do not actually believe in our laws and have not experienced the test of suffering and pain. How can they believe in our Lord from the bottom of their hearts? The same goes for your career. Yes, when you have completed your mission with the first group of [apostles], how can you ensure that the descendants of the [apostles] will still have a firm faith? They have not even experienced those sufferings."

"I will watch them, Your Majesty the Pope, I have enough time. I will watch them, educate them, guide them, and they will become an extension of my will and carry forward this great idea."

"Maybe you will succeed, but there will still be bloodshed. Agaritu, give up the war. This land has shed enough blood."

"No, Your Majesty the Pope, there are not enough." Shen Muke shook his head. He stared into the Pope's eyes and said slowly: "For thousands of years, on this land, workers, farmers, writers, engineers, doctors , teachers, and scientists, their blood flows like a river in the ocean, but those carnivores have always survived. They are monsters more terrifying than evil spirits and more aggressive than heirs!"

"They live so comfortably that they almost forget that they bleed too."

"This is the war I want, Your Majesty the Pope. I want to use smoke and fire to let them know that there is no difference between them and those who are suffering!"

Chapter 4 An unloaded gun

"Meat-eaters live so comfortably that they provoke

Disputes, they can plunder what they want without having to pay blood and tears. Is this how it should be? "

"So, you are going to provoke a bigger dispute and plunge this land into the madness you created?" The Pope looked at Shen Muke, shook his head and said, "You are too extreme, Agaritu."

"This is the last battle, His Majesty the Pope." Shen Muke explained: "This change will make everyone feel pain. Only when everyone feels the pain of war can all races truly sit together with each other and our civilization Only then will there be a new future.”

Shen Muke continued: "Isn't this what Rutland advocates?"

"Rutland's idea is a vision that allows everyone to live happily, but your ideal will make many people lose everything."

"Losing everything?" Shen Muke shook his head and said, "Your Majesty the Pope, it seems that our understanding of [everything] is different."

"Your Majesty the Pope, have you ever been to the Royal Dale Arsenal in Victoria?"

"Have you ever understood the oppressive life of the people of Leitania under the rule of the Witch-King and the Elector?"

"Did you know that on the tundra of Ursus, there is a group of slave-like people suffering in the mines?"

"Do you think that's [everything]? You're right, life is of course precious, but for those living in living hell, life is the cheapest thing."

"If you have nothing, if life is worse than death, then who would be afraid of losing?"

"Your Majesty the Pope, if Lateran wants to realize his claims, then struggle is inevitable. What cannot be obtained on the battlefield, can it be obtained at the negotiation table?"

The Pope was silent, stroking his beard with his hand, thinking, thinking about a reason to stay out of the matter.

After a long time, the Pope slowly said: "Latland, there is Lateran's own law. We have our own rules and traditions. We stay out of it to protect our people. Your plan may be feasible, but Sa Kota will not be involved and we can protect ourselves.”

"Sakota does not need to participate, Your Majesty the Pope. I have never wanted the people of Sakota to give up their current peaceful and comfortable life and follow me on the battlefield of a narrow escape. All I ask for is Rutland's weapons and technology. "

After hearing this, the Pope finally softened his attitude, but he still said seriously: "Agaritu, you are a good person. I recognize your ideals, but this does not mean that Lateran will provide you with help." …After all, the Laterans followed the law.”

Is the law that large host like a wheel?

Shen Muke nodded. He understood what the Pope meant. Although his ideas can be affirmed by individuals, Lateran follows the collective will. The law is the law, and the law determines the route of Lateran. The decisive factor is that if the law does not approve it, then the Pope will not make any choice.

After talking for a long time, he finally came back.

"Your Majesty the Pope, I want to [pray] to the Lord, is that okay?" Shen Muke deliberately re-read the word "prayer". He knew that the Pope would definitely understand what he meant.

The Pope took a deep look at Shen Muke, as if he was surprised, but he finally answered calmly:

"It's not the time yet, Agaritu, it's not the time yet."

The Pope shook his head and said: "You can stay in Lateran for a while, and when the time is right, you will get what you want."

not the right time yet?What kind of answer is this?What if the [Law] host thinks that this time will not be ripe in 100 years?Does he have to wait 100 years?

Seemingly sensing Shen Muke's dissatisfaction, the Pope comforted him: "Don't worry, Agaritu, didn't you say that you also followed the revelation to come here? If your revelation is really effective, then which one is suitable?" The time should come soon.”

Shen Muke nodded. He watched His Majesty the Pope slowly walk towards the cathedral. The debate with Rutland also came to an end.

Follow the revelation?This is really... idealistic.

Shen Muke once again sat alone on the benches around the square, calmly looking at the revelation stone tower in the center of the square. Inside the towering stone tower was a huge clock. In [My Guide to the First Path], the clock was once used by the girl. The song awakened me.

It would be great if the Stone Tower of Enlightenment could give me some inspiration, but if it doesn't work, just ring it twice...

Shaking his head helplessly, Shen Muke was a little distracted. He subconsciously connected the senses of various demon phantoms in the distance and collected various information.

This kind of remote and direct control of the demon consumed so much divinity and mental power that Shen Muke didn't even know when there was a Sakota boy next to him.

The Sakota boy was holding a shabby bag, which seemed to contain luggage. His clothes were quite shabby, and he also had a special... salty smell?

Shen Muke took a few sniffs and recognized that it was the fishy smell of sea salt. This boy came from the sea.

How strange that in Rutland we can still see Sarkota from the seaside?

"Hello, young man." Shen Muke greeted and said, "You seem to be in trouble?"

"Ah?! No, it's not." The young man seemed a little cautious, holding the bag tightly in his hand, and said: "It's not me, it's not that I'm in trouble, it's the town where I live... I belong to that town Everyone."

"A small town?" Shen Muke asked

Raising eyebrows, not a Sakota living in Rutland?How rare.

"Young man, what's the name of your town? What happened there?"

As if he didn't expect that a stranger would care so much about this question, the young man was stunned for a moment, and then answered honestly: "That's my hometown... Maybe it's strange for a Sakota person to say that, but I do regard it as my hometown." My hometown, the name of the town is Chao Shi Town. There was a famine there and everyone was hungry, but the Iberian Tribunal refused to send out any food for disaster relief... I had no other choice, so I walked through the wilderness alone and left. It’s been a long time since I came here and I wanted to ask for some help from my compatriots…”

Chao Shi Town?Help?

Wait, then aren’t you just...

"Are you Andorn?" Shen Muke asked in surprise.

"You, how do you know my name!?" The young Andorn was still very young, and he looked at Shen Muke in equal surprise, waiting for his answer.

"That's not important. What's important is, did you get assistance from Rutland?"

Andorn's face suddenly became lonely and he whispered: "No, neither the Justice Office nor the compatriots in the Papal Hall are willing to send aid...On the contrary, everyone is urging me to stay in Lateran. Save yourself the trouble of suffering outside..."

Andorn's voice became smaller and smaller, and he remembered what Sarkota had said to him again:

[You are our kind, they are not. 】

Same kind?What does this have to do with the same kind?Whether it’s everyone in Tidestone Town or our compatriots in Rutland, don’t we all believe in the merciful Lord of Rutland?Isn’t it clearly stated in the doctrine that we are all the Lord’s children and should help each other and be in the same boat through thick and thin. However, why does everyone become so indifferent when it comes to assistance...

It’s as if believers other than the Sakota people are not worthy of salvation.

Looking at the confused Sakota boy in front of him, Shen Muke was filled with emotion.

Fate will not deceive himself. When Andorn really appeared in front of him by such a coincidence, Shen Muke knew who the figure who appeared in the revelation was.

Martyr, Andorn.

An unloaded gun.

So that’s it, is this a revelation?

Indeed, in a sense, Andorn alone can be compared to half of Rutland.

Shen Muke made up his mind. He felt that he was just like when Wolong met Youlin and Andorn. Sure enough, it was fate that made us meet here.

"My child, I know a little magic and I can also fish... If possible, I can go back to Iberia with you, if it's too late..."

"Really? Thank you so much, kind sir!" The young Andorn took Shen Muke's hand and said eagerly: "Then, how can we go back as soon as possible? I relied on walking and catching wind along the way. The car just arrived at Rutland, now we should go back..."

"No need to bother." Shen Muke smiled and grabbed Andorn's hand, "Close your eyes and silently recite the name of Chao Shi Town. Boy, we will be there soon!"

hiss--

Divinity tore apart the space, and Shen Muke disappeared from the spot with Andorn.

Boom...boom...boom...

At noon, the Stone Tower of Revelation struck three more times.

This is a small request for leave

Let me tell you, because I have something to do tomorrow, I'm really sorry that I won't be able to stop updating for one day tomorrow. I hope you can understand.

In addition, May Day is approaching, and I wish everyone a happy May Day.

Chapter 5 The Lord is not omnipotent

Martyr, Andorn.

An absolute soul who walks on a contradictory path and finally proves the Tao with his own body without hesitation.

Unlike the images of priests, angels, and rebels in many other fantasy works, Andorn's path stems from doubts about religious beliefs.

To be precise, it comes from a past incident when I was young.

……

hiss--

Divinity stirred the air, and Shen Muke led the young Andorn back to Chao Shi Town.

The unique fishy smell of the sea and the salty taste of sea salt hit his face, which lifted Shen Muke's spirit!

This was his first time coming to the beach of Terra.

Tilting his head and looking at Andorn, who had his eyes closed tightly, Shen Muke said, "You can open your eyes now."

Andorn, who suffered a series of dizziness, slowly opened his eyes, and then found that he had appeared on the outskirts of Chao Shi Town!

The young man stood there stunned, not knowing how to express his feelings at the moment.

"Well, how is this possible?"

"Nothing is impossible, Andorn. There are too many mysteries in this world that are unknown." Shen Muke explained with a smile.

Listening to Shen Muke's words, Andorn's expression changed from confusion at the beginning, to calmness, and then to unexpected ecstasy!

He knew that he might have encountered a miracle!

He knew by heart the Lateran teachings that the sages received the Lord's revelation, and then the city of Lateran rose from the ground. For more than 1000 years, Lateran has stood like this until now!

And now, I have also met someone who is like the legendary divine messenger. Although I don’t know why this divine messenger who performs miracles is not a Sakota... But since he brought me back to Chao Shi Town in an instant

, such power is definitely not ordinary, then he must be the messenger of the Lord!

Shen Muke didn't know that he had been regarded as an angel by Andorn. He just looked around, and then he felt a strange, deep and crazy aura.

"Has something been here before? It's not a human being, nor does it look like an immortal. Instead, it looks a bit like some kind of creature..."

"Mr. Messenger, the entrance to Chao Shi Town is in front of us!" Andorn excitedly took Shen Muke's hand and said excitedly: "Let's go in quickly. Everyone will be very excited to see you!"

Shen Muke didn't answer, and just let the young man pull him into the town. Shen Muke wanted to speak, but in the end he didn't say anything.

There is no breath of life in that town anymore...

Andorn rushed into the town almost madly. He wanted to shout loudly to everyone in the town. He found a reliable helper. Although he was not a Sakota person, although he may not be a Lateran, but He must be the messenger of the Lord!The angel of the Lord has come, and our Chaoshi Town is saved!

Shen Muke followed silently. He saw the Sakota boy standing at the main intersection of the town with his arms outstretched, but the boy did not say a word in the end.

Because, except Shen Muke, no one here can hear his words.
