Every time I come home, my wife is making garbage

Chapter 327 Something feels wrong
After a commotion, Zhang Jingyi and Elizabeth finally arrived at the door of the "Cathedral of Light".

As soon as I walked here, I saw the bustling atmosphere.

A large group of people in black robes were coming in and out, holding various tools in their hands, carrying wooden boards and paint buckets. Some of them were completely dirty and looked like workers on a construction site. No, they were the workers on the construction site.

Elizabeth saw Ace at a glance. He was directing several workers to climb up to the door, knock down the word "Light" on "Cathedral of Light", and nail the word "Darkness" instead.

The five words "Cathedral of Light" were originally golden.

However, the two words "darkness" that Ace replaced were black.

It looks extremely mismatched.

Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but complain: "Hey, the five characters of the Cathedral of Light were originally all in gold, and now you replaced them with two black characters, the style is no longer unified."

Ace smiled and said, "It's okay. We'll paint the word 'Cathedral' black in a bit, and the style will be unified."

Zhang Jingyi: "Can't all five words be changed at once?"

Ace: "Save costs. Our Dark Church is not as wealthy as the Light Church."

Zhang Jingyi: “…”

Elizabeth turned her eyes to the side and saw a group of workers painting the walls under the command of a nun. The original style of the Cathedral of Light was basically pure white, and the walls everywhere were painted white, but now, large areas of them were being painted black.

Elizabeth suddenly thought of something and looked up and said, "Father Ace, I have a question that I really can't help but ask."

Ace: "Your Majesty, just ask."

Elizabeth: "The words "Cathedral of Light" were originally written in gold on a white background. After you changed the words to black, it became black on a white background. Then your people will paint the wall black. Then it will become black on a black background... Can you really see it?"

Ace: "..."

The painters next to them: "..."

Quiet, eerily quiet!

After several seconds, Ace screamed, "No! The five words 'Dark Cathedral' cannot be written in black."

A nun said, "But we can't use gold either. What should we do?"

"I see, use moon white." Ace said, "The color of the moon!"

The people around him were immediately delighted: "The priest is really wise."

Ace shouted, "Quick, quick, quick, go repaint the word 'Darkness' in moon white. Also, repaint the word 'Cathedral' in moon white."

The group of people suddenly became busy.

Elizabeth smiled and shook her head.

Zhang Jingyi's face suddenly turned serious: "Father Ace, I have something to ask you."

Ace: "Your Majesty, what can I do for you?"

Zhang Jingyi: "When you took over this church, did you encounter resistance from the fanatics of the Church of Light?" Ace said: "Yes, we did! There were a few fanatics who refused to hand the church over to us. They stood at the door with weapons in hand, pretending to fight to the death."

Zhang Jingyi: "How are they now?"

Ace saw that Zhang Jingyi had a serious expression on his face, and he was startled. He quickly replied seriously, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. We didn't kill them. We just used mind control magic to control them. They are currently locked up in the hay barn."

"Well, it was handled well." Zhang Jingyi said, "Take me to meet them."

The group came to the hay barn, which was full of hay for feeding cattle and horses. Three exhausted men were tied up and thrown in the hay. They didn't seem to be physically injured, but they were quite depressed.

Zhang Jingyi and Elizabeth walked up to them. The three of them looked up and glanced at the two men with a lifeless look. They then glared at Ace, the nun and other people from the Dark Church standing behind them, and then whispered angrily, "Kill us! The minions of the evil god."

Elizabeth was a little angry when she heard the word "evil god". Just as she was about to lose her temper, she heard Zhang Jingyi ask in a very calm tone: "You three should have known the truth about the dam incident, and you have also seen with your own eyes that the Knights Templar captured people as shields to resist our cannons. They used your lives to exchange for their own safety. Under such circumstances, are you still unwilling to give up your beliefs?"

The three of them exclaimed, "Huh?" and thought: He didn't kill us, but came to talk to us?
This time, there is no need to rush to throw away the jar.

One of them looked up and said, "We know these things, so what? It's just the Cardinal in Gold, Father Glass and the Knights Templar who are doing evil things. It doesn't mean that our God of Light is doing evil things. The God of Light is kind and benevolent, and cares about everything. God is great, but the people below are messing around. If we forget about God because of a few bad apples, do we have to forget about God?"

"Haha, well said." Zhang Jingyi suddenly smiled: "You have such an opinion, which shows that you are quite capable. Have you been educated?"

The three of them nodded. They were all educated.

The illiteracy rate in the magical world is actually not low. Just like in the European Middle Ages in our world, the illiteracy rate was as high as 99%, and there were very few people who had read books.

One very notable characteristic of educated people is that they have more of their own thoughts and are relatively less easily led by others than illiterate people.

Zhang Jingyi: "Since the three of you have studied and have smart brains, you can reason with them. Why don't we just talk about reason?"

Three people: "Huh?"

They were a little flattered that the king of a country wanted to sit down and talk reason with them.

Zhang Jingyi: "First of all, I want to affirm your idea of ​​separating the God of Light from the Church of Light. God is God, and the Church is the Church. Just because the Church does evil things does not mean that God is also evil. This idea is very advanced and full of wisdom."

Three people: "Huh?"

I never thought that the king's opening remarks would be to praise them.

Zhang Jingyi continued, "I just heard you say that the God of Light loves everything and is kind and benevolent, right? But I see that your Church of Light is desperately trying to eliminate dissidents, slaughtering pagans, and exterminating all subhuman races. With such behavior, how can you still be qualified to say 'love everything'?"

Three people: "That is the Church of Light doing the opposite, not the instruction of the God of Light."

Zhang Jingyi: "How did you learn of the instructions of the God of Light?"

The three of them said proudly: "It is written in the Bible of Light."

Zhang Jingyi: "Who wrote the Bright Bible?"

Three people: "The Holy See of Light."

The three of them had just said this word when they suddenly froze, feeling something was wrong.
