There is no doubt that the arrival of the Holy Light Church mission has injected a bit of vitality into this already declining city.
Especially the more intelligent and sensitive clergy, they immediately thought of the unusual behavior and actions of the bishops in recent times, and also realized that this might be an opportunity for themselves.
After all, if the two churches really merge, the Holy City will inevitably get rid of its previous state of lying in wait for death.
It may even rise again due to its special geographical location in the center.
The only question is, how much benefits can a church that is half-dead on its own side gain from negotiations?
Of course, those who agree will naturally have those who oppose it. 强牺 zongyiwx.com 读牺
Some radical guys always feel that the Holy City has turned into the horrible state it is in now, all because of the fault of the Holy Light Church.
They began to secretly collude with officers and soldiers, planning to stage an "uprising" to directly assassinate Arturia and her entourage, and at the same time kill all the capitulating bishops at the top.
As the sun slowly sets from the horizon, darkness falls again, and the entire Holy City of Labona becomes undercurrent.
¡°Coupled with the demons and awakened ones hiding among the ruins and ordinary people
This originally lifeless city suddenly became extremely lively.
Even people like Claire who don¡¯t care much about changes in the outside world feel a strange atmosphere.
However, as a great sword who came to kill demons, she did not forget her mission and responsibilities. She quickly left the hotel and tried to contact the church's client in order to obtain first-hand information.
As for Lackey and Allen, they were left in the hotel room.
The reason why Lackey stays is because he doesn¡¯t have any fighting ability now, and having him around is just a burden.
And Allen is purely because Claire thinks he is annoying and hateful, and she doesn¡¯t want to have such a guy around who can cause trouble for her at any time.
But what Claire never expected was that not long after she left, Allen took Lackey out of the hotel and went to a place specializing in special services a few streets away.
Looking at the scantily clad "big sisters" at the door with eyes that seemed to eat him alive, Lackey instantly became extremely nervous and begged in a low voice: "Mr. Allen, I think we should go back. Otherwise, Claire will find out. if¡¡"
"What are you afraid of! Did she say we are not allowed to come to a place like this? What's more, she is not your relative or elder, so what qualifications does she have to teach you a lesson?" Allen asked nonchalantly.
"Butbut"
Lackey hesitated for a long time, but finally gave up the argument and followed behind with his head hanging down.
¡°Obviously, although he knew that there were problems with what Allen said, he didn¡¯t know how to refute it.
"It's nothing! Don't forget, you are a man. Men should tell the truth. Whatever you want or desire, just say it openly, and then get it in the way you think is right. Don't be coy and coy with a shy little boy. Just like girls, that will only make people feel hypocritical and weak." Allen patted the boy's shoulder hard and scolded.

After a few days of getting along with him, he finally understood why Lackey, the "male protagonist" in Big Sword, was always nicknamed "trash" and had always been quite unlikable.
The reason is very simple!
This guy¡¯s character is so weak that he wants to please everyone around him all the time. It can even be said that he lacks the most basic dignity as a human being.
It¡¯s like the famous saying ¡°If you lick a dog, you¡¯ll die a good death¡±.
???????????????????????????????If you voluntarily give up your dignity as a human being, how can others respect you?
In comparison, the popularity of "Northern Horse" Yisli is much higher.
Because he always knows what he wants, has a clear bottom line, and will never please anyone for no reason.
It¡¯s a pity that Lackey doesn¡¯t understand this well because he is too young.
Finally, after struggling at the door for a while, the boy gritted his teeth and followed Allen into the second floor surrounded by a group of scantily clad young women.
In just a few minutes, poor Lucky was so teased by these "big sisters" that she could only lower her head and clench her legs.
Until I walked into the private room and found a window seatAs a man worthy of being a king, he immediately understood the true meaning behind this operation.
Just as human society on earth requires different ideas and ideologies to collide and compete with each other in order to develop, the social structure of this world cannot be too single.
Otherwise, the error tolerance rate is too low. Once a wrong step is made in the future, the entire human society will be instantly catastrophic.
Allen nodded slightly: "That's right! Only with competition can there be progress, and only with collision can there be development. Take modernization, which is something that has been taken for granted in modern society on earth. Do you know why the more modernized Will the gap between rich and poor be wider in countries with higher levels of poverty?¡±
"Why?" Artoria frowned subconsciously.
Because when she was in the Marvel Universe, she was completely attracted by the advanced technologies and the vast number of products available on the market, and she really didn¡¯t notice this.
"Because building a modern society requires paying very high maintenance costs. This includes military, administrative, judicial, public transportation, medical care, elderly care, and a series of financial expenditures. Guess who will bear this heavy cost in the end. The burden is borne by those powerful financial consortiums, banks, monopoly giants in various industries and countless billionaires? No! It is borne by the vulnerable groups with very limited income, that is, the civilian class. Therefore, the system of modern society and Experience is not always as idyllic as it seems, nor is it necessarily the only right path.¡±
Allen did not hide anything and expressed his thoughts straightforwardly.
As a traveler who constantly travels through various worlds, he has already broken out of the confinement of his original thinking and began to observe the pros and cons of different worlds, different eras, and different social structures from a higher dimension.
Take the gap between rich and poor as an example. The gap between rich and poor caused by industrialization and modernization is far more terrifying than any other gap in the history of the earth. 强牺 zongyiwx.com 读牺
So, is it really correct to capitalize and value everything through modernization and urbanization initiated by Western capital?
If it were before, Allen would have given a positive answer without hesitation.
But now, he begins to have a different view, or a bigger picture.
A thoughtful expression appeared on Artoria's face: "I understand! You are worried that after the counterattack on the mainland, once those two countries are wiped out, the regime established in the West will be proud and complacent, and then embark on a path of The path of no return leads to destruction. To do this, you intend to preserve diversity in the world.¡±
"Yes! Over the years, the Western Land and the Southern Land have always maintained smooth trade, so privately many people have accepted the Holy Light as their spiritual belief and sustenance. Even if the entire Southern Land is incorporated, this kind of belief It will not disappear. On the contrary, it will fill the spiritual emptiness caused by material abundance, and eventually become the only legal sect in the entire country. Of course, before that, you still need to play your role well."
While saying this, Allen turned his gaze to the street not far away. At this time zongyiwx.com Zhang Si
With vision comparable to an astronomical telescope, he could clearly see that Claire was trying her best to fight an awakened person.
Because they were evenly matched, the two had been fighting for several minutes, but neither one could take advantage.
As for the cannon fodder-like monsters next to them, they had all been torn into pieces.
The dazzling plasma directly dyed the ground red.
Fortunately it is night now, otherwise I would have heard the piercing screams one after another.
Arturia undoubtedly noticed this and asked in an uncertain tone: "Aren't you going to help?"
"No! It's not necessary. If Claire can't even deal with an awakened person of this level, it would be very disappointing. After all, I gave her a seed of life energy, and it will take about 20 seconds. It¡¯s taken root and sprouted.¡±
Just as Allen was speaking, Claire in the distance suddenly couldn't dodge, and was instantly pierced through the abdomen by her opponent's sharp claws, knocking down a wall with a bang. Zhida org.com Zhixiao
Just when it was about to go up and strike, an indescribable terrifying aura spewed out from the broken wall, crushing all the slightly collapsed buildings around it into dust on the spot.
Boom! ! ! ! ! !
