When the Saint comes, she does not collect food

Chapter 866 Will Meliati go to school?

"Once upon a time there was a girl named Charlotte Fowles, who was born into a distinguished family, the youngest daughter of an aristocratic family.

In that era, having too many daughters was not a good thing because the dowry required was too high, so they sent their daughters to convents.

Charlotte entered the convent at the age of twelve. When she was thirteen, the convent was burned down by rebels. She and other nuns and monks escaped by hiding in the cellar.

Therefore, the nuns believed that this was a punishment from the Holy Father and that they needed to embark on a pilgrimage to the Holy See City to atone their sins.

But the Hundred Years' War had just ended, and the empire was still in an extremely chaotic era.

So after walking less than one-tenth of the distance, her maids and sisters all froze to death or starved to death.

Did you know that the pilgrimage route is not full of flowers and devout pilgrims?

Instead, it was covered with bones and filled with vicious deserters and bandits.

She was the only lucky one who always received charity and survived.

So she thought, people spend their entire lives on the pilgrimage, going through all kinds of hardships, but forget to repair the road better.

If the road was built better, would we be able to reach the Holy See City without so much suffering?
If it were anyone else, it would be a fantasy, but this Charlotte is actually a witch."

"Witch?!" Kuswania exclaimed, "I thought it was you!"

Carrie rolled her eyes, "Do you think I'm some little girl who would say this is my friend? This is the story."

"Okay, okay, go on." Kuswaniya quickly covered her mouth.

Today Carrie suddenly skipped class and asked her to come to the attic in this secret space.

She thought Carrie was suddenly going to open up, but she unexpectedly told a different story.

But Carrie was absent-minded all day, perhaps it was related to this incident.

Clearing her throat, Carrie calmed down and continued, "As a witch, the magic she knows is really kind and useless. It's just to let the other party hear her true feelings.

You know how dark the human heart is, but her heart is so bright and pure that it attracted countless followers.

So they built roads together, and more and more pilgrims joined, forming the "Sanctuary Order", whose basic purpose was to provide relief to civilians and build facilities to help believers.

It was after the war, and everything was in ruins. By the time her road reached the Holy See City, the Holy See Order and Saint Charlotte had become a force that could not be ignored.

"Judging from her behavior, this should be a saint," Kuswania corrected, "You should go to more doctrine classes."

"Do you want to listen to me or not?"

"Don't be angry, just tell me what you want to say." Kuswania shook Carrie's severed hand while holding it.

"There is a fight within the church over the position of Pope. What if we calm down the fight?
Do you know how it was smoothed over? It was simple. Charlotte went out into the streets and said to everyone:
If she were the Pope, she planned to build twelve John Avenues to cover the entire empire, including the Kingdom of Norn, so that the pilgrims' journey would no longer be difficult.

She plans to build five Ruoan dams to mitigate flood disasters in five places: Windmill Land, Thousand River Valley, Black Snake Bay, Sword Collar in the Lake, and Storm Cape.

She said, I want to build a solid house so that the poor can be protected from wind and rain.

She said, I want to build a hundred hospitals to save innocent people from death.

She said, I want everyone to have enough food to eat, I want everyone to have enough clothes to wear, and I want everyone to have enough books to read.

I want to create a new world without war, plague, disease, famine, or flood, a paradise on earth.

Everyone knew that she was sincere and saw the heaven on earth in her heart.

Thus, with the support and cheers of countless believers, the three popes elected by the church’s top leaders were all driven out of office by the people.

Finally, this girl named Charlotte ascended the throne of Pope.

After soliciting opinions from believers, she chose a gentle name as her papal name - John. "

When she heard halfway, Kuswania had a vague feeling, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but exclaimed.

There was something wrong in the look in his eyes when he looked at Carrie.

Although in today's laws of the Thousand Valleys Holy Alliance, the John Party, the Green Party and the like are all considered "vibrant social groups."

But they should only be spreading it south of Longsand County. Carrie is obviously a mountain person, so how could she believe what the John Party said?

Judging from Carrie's expression, it didn't seem like she was joking, and she wasn't the kind of person who would joke at this time.

Kuswania's body trembled, and in the scorching sunlight, she saw that the roots of Carrie's hair were reflecting a hint of silver.

Jiali did not notice Kuswania’s strangeness, but continued to speak in a low voice: “…After building the twelve avenues, Juan’s prestige reached its peak in mobilizing the forces of various countries.

She could even make King Fran, then Emperor of the Empire, kneel in the snow for her for seven hours because he prevented the construction of John Avenue.

So, the nobles and bishops were afraid, and they tried every means to investigate Joan's weaknesses. Finally, they discovered that Joan was a witch.

The ecstatic bishops sent down the angel and ordered him to kill her.

The angel killed Joan's four closest disciples, but when he faced her and listened to her heart, he believed that she was innocent.

Faced with the urging of the church, the angel finally chose to commit suicide and left his blood and sweat to Joan, so that Joan could fight his way out when faced with the siege of believers.

But Ruoan refused, and she wanted the believers to decide whether she was guilty, not the gods.

Then, she was burned alive in a high tower by her trusted followers as a witch, carrying the holy blood of angels. "

Kuswania closed her mouth as if she was suffocating, and looked at Carrie with a hint of fear and vigilance in her eyes.

Carrie looked at her sideways: "How is it? You asked me what my dream was before? What do you want to do in the future? Do you understand now?"

Kuswania opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

"…Meliyati…Roan Party…missionary…terrible…"

Her ears moved slightly, and Carrie suddenly chuckled.

How ironic! As John IV, who inherited the holy blood of an angel, her magical ability is actually the exact opposite of John's, which is to eavesdrop on other people's thoughts.

After Joan's death, the forces that depended on her collapsed due to the loss of cohesion.

Joan's deeds were suppressed and eliminated by the church and deliberately distorted.

She was clearly expressing her true feelings in exchange for sincerity, and people were willing to follow her because they saw her selflessness and beauty.

But it turned out that Ruoan was a succubus, relying on bewitching and mind control to build up a huge force. Even the Sanctuary Cult was alienated into the Sanctuary Knights.

Who are the people in this knightly order now?
Just look at one heavyweight figure - Charles Gordon-Finch, Prince of Condé.

The truth was either regarded as heresy, and those who knew the truth either died or fled to the Black Snake Bay Ruoan Party.

This is why the Joan party system is so tight and has such good governance and religious atmosphere.

It's very simple. Compared with the Priory of the Balance, the John Party is the real church heresy.

Its interior is filled with monks who have discovered the truth of history and people with high ideals and culture.

Carrie remembered Horne saying when they were reading history together that after the Hundred Years' War, the Empire fell into an era of economic collapse and great chaos.

The church of that era launched large-scale road projects, built waterways, opened new fields and built monasteries, and absorbed a large number of unemployed people.

Miraculously, the transition from war to peace was completed with extremely low expenditure.

Based on roads, canals and dams, today's towns and urban citizens were born.

The future economy of the empire will almost entirely be built on these twelve roads.

It's just that they are now named King Leia Avenue, King Faran Avenue, and Norn [the name of the current king] Avenue...

The last completed Joan project was the Joan Dam at Gravel Plain, which was renamed the Innocent Dam.

Ruoan's dreams all fell through because she couldn't read people's minds and thought that believers could be as selfless as she was.

But Carrie could read it, and she wanted to fix Joan's mistake.

Are all the people in the empire worth saving? No, the regions are different, the nationalities are different, the customs are different, and it is impossible to even understand them, let alone save them, so it is enough to save only the people of Qianhe Valley.

Trust the choice of believers? No, only the elites are worthy of trust. The short-sightedness of believers makes them only see the immediate benefits.

Do you want to fight for power peacefully without bloodshed? No, it must be bloodshed, it must be war, without war, power cannot be consolidated.

Carrie thought so for a moment, but she still sat here, in this girls' school.

Could it be that she was really wrong?

Recalling the time before her father's death and before her grandmother Lyudmila (John II) passed away, her favorite stories to listen to in her childhood were John's stories.

It was not until her grandmother was assassinated by a witcher, her father died of illness, and her grandfather died because he could not be ordained that she began to hate Joan, and she awakened her witch magic.

Hate her pure goodness, hate her beautiful earthly paradise.

Just like the world in Horn's vision, it seems beautiful, but it will never be realized.

After taking a look at the dumbstruck Kuswaniya, Carrie stood up and was about to go downstairs, but was suddenly grabbed by Kuswaniya.

"What are you going to do?"

Kuswania was glared at by Carrie and was about to cry, but she grabbed Carrie's arm and said, "I don't know what you are going to do, but you don't go."

"Can you read my mind? Or predict the future?" Carrie asked with a smile.

Kuswania said seriously: "I feel that you will suffer. If you can't do it yourself, it is never a shame to rely on others."

Rely on others? Carrie's pupils shrank slightly, and her eyes seemed to be able to penetrate Kuswania's thin chest.

"... Carrie... good people... friendship..."

Carrie was stunned for at least four or five seconds before she laughed and patted Kuswania on the back, making her face turn livid.

"It looks so real. You take it too seriously."

"I'm serious." Kuswania pushed Carrie's hand away angrily.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything that will make me suffer."

"you promise."

"I promise!"

Looking back at Kuswaniya who was jumping away, Carrie shook her head bitterly.

She took out two things from her arms, one was a letter and the other was also a letter.

One was from Horne, and one was thrown through the window last night.

I unfolded the first thick letter, which read: "…How are you these days? The final exams will be coming soon, right?…I heard that you no longer skip classes, that's great, have you made any new friends?…

I let you go to school not to humiliate you, but to let you see the lives of ordinary people and make up for what you are missing in your life...

It is not that the common people are short-sighted and the elites are long-term, but that the common people never have the ability and qualifications to think long-term...

I'm not denying you, but I'm saying that maybe it may be true now, but not necessarily in the future.

We need to leave enough space and tolerance, rather than completely treating human society as a grassland for wild beasts...

I was actually very scared, afraid that you would still be stubborn, but now it seems that I was worrying too much.

Looking forward to seeing you again in the Holy Trinity, I hope you can sit next to me (without the mask).

Attached to the letter was a newly developed robotic arm by Shilov. It’s good to try new things once in a while.

——An elegant, handsome and intelligent man. "

Carrie couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth and turned her eyes to the other side.

Unfolding another letter, it was only half a thin sheet of paper, and the words on the letter had red marks that were revealed after being burned by fire.

When she saw the handwriting, the smile on Carrie's face gradually disappeared.

"Your Highness Meliati, please wait by the window on Friday midnight. All the heroes are waiting for your return.

Please lead us and take back your rightful place, so that this war can end.

——Your loyal dog."
