Chapter 165 Klein Doesn't Understand
Chapter 165 Klein Doesn't Understand
"That does seem to be true." Upon hearing Rosen's words, Klein couldn't help but recall the romantic movies he had watched, and nodded in deep agreement. He then glanced at the two people on their date and sighed, "I wonder when I'll be able to attend the Captain's wedding."
"It's hard to say, maybe it'll happen sooner?" Rosen smiled, then, as if remembering something, asked, "Did Little Red come looking for you after I left?"
Klein nodded upon hearing this, then looked at Rosen with some hesitation and said, "Rosen, I've been investigating the Ruen royal family recently and have seen a lot of things—"
"Hesitating isn't your style. Just say what you want to do," Rosen said, glancing at him.
"This world is not quite what I originally thought," Klein said with a sigh, seemingly somewhat bewildered. "I originally thought that with the development of the times and the advancement of technology, everyone would live better than before."
"But—why are there still so many people who can't get enough to eat?" Klein asked, a hint of confusion and anger flashing in his eyes. "Even in the time of the Sun God, when life was so difficult, people still managed to have enough to eat!"
Klein was indeed surprised. Unlike in the original story, the Klein he knew was from the era of the Sun God. Although the technology of that era was not as advanced as it is now, no one starved to death under the rule of the Sun God.
Given this preconceived notion, Klein originally thought that in this era ruled by the seven gods, everyone should be able to eat their fill, after all, the technology and productivity of this era were much more advanced than in the era of the sun god.
But the truth is, in this era where resources are theoretically plentiful, there are still many people who can't even get enough to eat.
"What I don't understand is why all the gods turn a blind eye to this?" Klein asked with a puzzled expression. "Isn't protecting believers the duty of the gods? Since they enjoy the faith of their followers, why do they let those believers starve to death?"
Klein wouldn't criticize an ordinary person for not sharing their food with the poor, because it's not their responsibility or obligation. But gods are different. They reap the faith of all living beings and enjoy the offerings of the world. In Klein's view, they should bear the obligation to protect all living beings.
"Perhaps it's because God never loves people," Rosen replied calmly. He looked at the bewildered and pained Mr. Fool before him, sighed, and said, "Klein, I don't really want you to see all this, because I know you'll be saddened by it, but I also know you'll eventually see it all."
"So if you want to do something, then do it!" Rosen said, patting Klein on the shoulder. "I support whatever decision you make."
"Thank you, Rosen." Klein took a deep breath and continued, "Actually, I don't know what I can do, but at least I feel that people shouldn't starve to death."
At this point, Klein glanced at Rosen somewhat guiltily. He hesitated visibly for a moment before saying, "So, during this time, I spoke with the Goddess of the Night, and she agreed to work with me to change the current situation in this area—"
Rosen raised an eyebrow, then looked at Klein with a forced smile and asked, "What did you promise Him?"
"Uh—" Klein leaned back guiltily before saying, "Do three things for Him without violating my principles."
"Hello, nuclear-powered donkey!" Rosen patted Klein on the shoulder, both amused and exasperated, and said, "What did someone say before? That you wouldn't be used as a donkey, huh?"
"Ahem!" Klein coughed guiltily before whispering, "It's just three things."
"Three things, three things again, just wait until you become a pillar-level henchman!" Rosen chuckled and gave Klein a hard tap on the head before saying, "Haven't you thought about solving this in another way, like launching a war of change?"
After a few seconds of silence, Klein said, "But I can't!"
"Rosen, although I do know a little bit about everything, I really only know a little bit. Change Wars and stuff like that are beyond my scope!" Klein scratched his head, which was the truth.
Klein had considered other solutions, but he was a newcomer to this era with little foundation. Even his church was built with the help of others, and Klein himself was not a very professional person who could carry out reforms.
So, after understanding the current state of the world, Mr. Fool wanted to change something but didn't know how. After thinking for a long time, he chose to ask the Goddess of Night for help.
After all, the Church of the Night has deep roots in this era and can effectively influence the policies implemented by Rune. In theory, cooperating with the Goddess of the Night can indeed effectively improve the situation of the poor. And this is indeed the case. During this period, under the active promotion of the Church of the Night, some livelihood security policies have been implemented, and the number of people starving to death is decreasing at a visible rate.
Rosen was silent for a few seconds after hearing Klein's words. He realized that he had overlooked the fact that although Mr. Fool had done a great job in organizing the resistance in the original work, it was based on the fact that the resistance already existed. Moreover, resisting colonialism and promoting change are indeed two different tracks.
The former only needs to consider how to fight, but the latter has many more things to consider.
In fact, in the cause of change, defeating the opponent is the easiest part, which only requires you to have a big enough fist. The real challenge is how to establish a new order after the victory.
"So, can you?" Just then, Klein looked at Rosen expectantly and asked.
He wasn't stupid. Although he cooperated with the Goddess of the Night and chose to improve people's livelihoods by starting from the top, he also understood that such improvements could not truly change the status quo of the poor. Perhaps no one would starve to death under such protection, but they would only stop starving and would still live in the mud.
Although Klein said that "people should at least not starve to death," he actually wanted to achieve more. He hoped that everyone in the world could have enough to eat and wear, and that everyone would have the opportunity to change their destiny, instead of the current situation where nobles are born nobles and ordinary people are basically ordinary people for their entire lives.
He just didn't know how to do it; for an ordinary person, this was really beyond his capabilities.
However, rashly overthrowing the old order without knowing how to establish a new one could bring even greater disaster to people today.
"Uh—" Rosen, facing Klein's expectant gaze, paused for a few seconds before speaking, "Actually, I don't either."
Klein immediately showed a disappointed expression.
"But is it possible that we could consult a professional?" Rosen suggested, "Although we don't know how to do this, Big Daddy is a professional!"
Klein's eyes lit up immediately.
