Game of the World Tree

God-Blessed John turned out to be Old John!

It's only been a few months, how has he become a highly respected Goddess of Life?

Frank looked at Old John, and his heart was shaking, and it was difficult to calm down for a while.

He carefully looked at the favored one who was regarded as a mentor by the poor, and it was difficult to associate him with the vulgar miner in the Luc City mine a few months ago...

Is the Church of Life really that powerful?

To be able to completely change a person in just a few months?

What the hell happened to John?

"You... Didn't you go to Zeroland? How did you come to Larona? And you became a favored one?"

After all, he couldn't help but ask his own question.

After listening to Frank's words, Old John sighed slightly and told about his experiences in the past few months:

"It's a long story, it's all thanks to the love of the goddess..."

"Lord Frank, after I went to Zeroland, I visited the Church of Life and became a Christian of Life."

"And after knowing the teachings of the goddess of life, I finally found my way..."

After speaking, Old John's expression became solemn, and he said solemnly and reverently:

"The empire is decaying, the aristocracy has fallen, and the Eternal Church is still lost in the glory of the past. Only the Church of Life can save this increasingly dark age, and only the Church of Life can awaken the world's self and completely free themselves from suffering..."

Frank's heart moved.

Looking at Old John's eyes full of pride and faith, he couldn't help but ask:

"John... Your lord, why are you so sure?"

Old John smiled gently.

He took a deep look at Frank and said:

"Your Excellency Frank, you have already come here, isn't what you have seen along the way enough to prove it?"

Frank was silent.

Old John was right.

Since he came to the slum, he has not been shocked for a moment.

A new slum, a hopeless slum, full of vigor...

All of this is subverting his cognition.

Frank suddenly felt that the knowledge he had learned in the past ten years might be completely wrong in some respects...

Looking at the sunny and hopeful smiling faces of the poor, he felt that he had grasped something faintly.

But not enough.

Many things happening in front of him are beyond the understanding of his existing knowledge, and he can't figure out the meaning behind it.

He needs a wise man to guide him...

With this thought in mind, Frank no longer ignored the surprise and shock in his heart.

He took a deep breath and saluted Old John again:

"Lord John, I have doubts in my heart, and I want to ask you for help..."

"Why... why the slums that the world is not optimistic about, can such earth-shaking changes take place in just a few short months under your leadership?"

Frank really wanted to know why.

Because if he can also inspire the fighting spirit of the poor, and can reshape the poor like Old John, he will hopefully be able to leverage the rule of the nobles!

After all, the poor occupy 80% of the population of the entire human world. Even if the probability of the birth of a professional is small, it will add up to a terrifying force.

At this moment, Frank saw the hope of changing the world!

"Because of love, because all things are equal, because every life has infinite possibilities..."

Old John said reverently.

"Love? All things are equal?"

Frank's eyes were a little blank.

Old John didn't answer Frank's question directly.

He smiled gently, and then asked:

"Lord Frank, do you love this world?"

Frank was even more confused.

"Lord John, I... I don't understand very well, can you explain in detail?"

he asked.

Old John smiled:

"Don't worry, if you stay by my side for a while, maybe you'll understand."

After speaking, he took a deep look at Frank and smiled:

"I can see that you are standing at the crossroads of life now, and your eyes are full of confusion about the future. If you can find the meaning of life yourself, maybe... it will be better for your future."

After listening to Old John's words, Frank swallowed the doubts in his heart.

He looked at the smiling poor people around him, hesitated, and finally nodded.

He was really curious about the changes in the ghetto, about Old John, about the Church of Life...

He believes that if he understands everything, then what he wants to do will surely usher in the dawn of hope.

Just like the name he named his mercenary group...

In this way, Frank and his guards settled in the slums of La Lona.

He became Old John's deputy and began to assist each other in their day-to-day affairs.

Old John's life was very regular.

The God-Blessed One of the Church of Life only slept for four hours a day, and the rest of the time was busy.

Preaching for the poor in the morning, imparting faith and knowledge.

In the morning, I took the elves and the poor together to build slums, learn life skills, or open up wasteland on the outskirts of the city...

In the afternoon, he treated the poor for free, and prayed with the believers.

In the evening, I personally baptize the talented poor people and unlock extraordinary power...

Day after day, without interruption.

And as time went on, Frank saw for himself that the ghetto got better day by day, and more and more people gathered here.

Finally...not only the poor, the refugees and the homeless, but even the ordinary civilians of La Rona, began to appear here.

Looking at Old John, who had always been smiling and was relieved by the changes in the slum, at that moment, Frank finally understood what the other side was talking about "love".

I'm afraid, it is precisely because of his love for "the world" that Old John chose to stay here as the one who thought he was favored by God!

He told Old John what he thought, but what he got was just a smile from Old John.

The other party did not deny it, but neither did it recognize it.

At this moment, Frank knew that what he thought was probably still not enough.

He continued to observe.

As he was stationed in the slum, Frank gradually became familiar with the poor.

By assisting Old John, he gradually participated in the construction of the slums, personally leading the mercenaries, helping the poor to improve their living conditions, or imparting martial arts skills to the poor...

These things he would never have done before.

Or rather, he never considered doing it in the past.

Not to mention that the other party is a poor person, it is just the difference between the identities of extraordinary people and ordinary people, which determines that professionals will not impart extraordinary knowledge to ordinary people who have nothing to do with them.

But now, under the leadership of Old John, not only Frank, but even the mercenaries who followed him have gradually broken this unspoken rule...

Over time, the poor became friendlier to Frank.

In the end, they treated him with the same respect as old John.

"Good morning! Lord Frank!"

These are the words Frank hears every morning.

And Frank, who was uncomfortable at the beginning, turned into a smile and nodded in response.

Days change day by day, and finally... ushered in the annual harvest festival.

Harvest Festival……

This is a fairly old festival on the mainland.

In the Church of Life, this is also the most important festival of the year.

In the slums of La Rona, this year's harvest festival is destined to be grand.

On this day, the residents of the entire slums ushered in a carnival to celebrate the festival...

Before you know it, the life believers gathered here have exceeded ten thousand people. Everyone prayed to Eve, the goddess of life, to celebrate the harvest, celebrate the change of life, and celebrate the bright future...

On this day, Frank received a gift from the poor.

It was a white cloak made of some kind of precious monster hide.

In this regard, Frank was very surprised, because he knew the origin of this monster skin, it should be a kind of magic mink living in the southern mountains, and the fur is priceless.

This cloak alone is probably worth a hundred gold pounds!

This money, maybe in the past, Frank could easily take it out.

But after leaving the family and forming a mercenary group, it is difficult for him to spend so much money on a decorative cloak.

Of course, he could still take out a hundred gold pounds.

But what was given to him was not himself, but the poor...

Where did they get so much money from?

Frank was surprised.

Soon, he got the answer...

"Lord Frank, we heard from Lord Roland that you have always wanted to have a magic sable cloak. In order to thank you for taking care of us these days, we discussed it, and we exchanged money together and bought a magic sable fur from a fur merchant. , made a cloak for you."

"hope you'll like it!"

Surrounded by his companions, a representative of the poor gave the cape to Frank with both hands.

Looking at his bright smile, feeling the sincerity and closeness of the poor, at this moment... Frank's heart softened inexplicably, slightly sour.

A warm current like a spring breeze slowly flowed in his heart...

"No, this is what I should do, this cloak is expensive, you guys..."

He subconsciously wanted to decline.

"Lord Frank, please accept it, this is all our heart!"

The poor insisted.

In the end...Frank accepted the gift anyway.

The fur of the devil mink is very soft.

Due to the properties of wind elemental magic, the cloak made of this fur is so light that it can even relieve the wearer's gravity.

Stroking the snow-white cloak, Frank's heart became softer.

"Lord Frank, do you understand now?"

A familiar voice sounded from behind, it was Old John.

Frank turned his head and saw that he was smiling at him.

He was stunned for a while, and didn't quite understand what the other party meant for a while:

"John, you mean..."

"Of course it's the question you asked me about before. How, do you... feel love now?"

asked old John gently.

"Love?"

Frank's heart moved.

And Old John suddenly took out a small mirror from his arms and put it in Frank's hand:

"Lord Frank, see how you look in the mirror."

Frank subconsciously picked up the mirror and looked inside.

It was still the same handsome face that he was familiar with.

However, compared to when he left the family, he was a lot more embarrassed, his hair had grown long, and he had a messy beard.

However, the person in the mirror's eyes was brighter than ever before.

There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he had encountered something happy, and in the depths of his eyes, there was a different kind of tenderness.

Seeing himself like this, Frank was stunned.

"This……"

"this is Love."

Old John said.

"Love……"

Frank muttered.

He suddenly raised his head and looked out the window.

At night, Ye Xingxing was scarce, but the slums were still brightly lit, bonfires were burning, and laughter gradually came...

People sing, laugh, dance, dance together, celebrate together.

It was a bonfire at the Harvest Festival.

In addition to the poor, you can also see the mercenaries who follow him and assist Old John's elves.

All races, different identities, gathered together at this moment, laughing together, singing and dancing together.

Everyone had a smile on their face, and everyone hooked their shoulders like brothers and sisters...

Looking at this harmonious scene, Frank was in a trance.

The doubts in his heart were suddenly resolved, and at this moment, Frank finally understood the problem that he had been unable to figure out...

"So it is... so it is..."

"I was wrong, it turns out... I've always been wrong..."

Frank muttered.

He got it.

He finally understands!

Change the power here, change everything here, it turns out to be "love"!

That is not only the love of old John for the believers, the love for the world, but also the love of the poor for each other, for themselves, and for the future...

This love makes the world beautiful, this love decorates life, this love... inspires the impoverished people to change everything.

Love, is hope, is faith, is the power of their awakening!

wrong.

I have always been wrong!

Although he wants to change the world, although he wants to change this era, he himself has forgotten that everyone is a part of this era...

He still hasn't jumped out of the shackles of aristocratic status, he still hasn't seen what is the most vast and most difficult existence under the darkness...

He didn't really care about the poor people, he didn't realize that they were the cornerstone of the human world, and he didn't realize that they could also be influenced by love, motivated by love, and awakened by love...

At the same time, he also realized that he lacked enough fraternity, lacked enough broad-mindedness, and lacked enough lofty vision.

He didn't really set his sights on the poor, he didn't really love the world, he didn't really love a hopeful and beautiful future...

He just realized that there was something wrong with the world, but he didn't get to the bottom of it.

At this moment, Frank also deeply realized that what he lacks is nothing but a beacon to guide him!

"It seems...you already understand."

Looking at the excited Frank, old John smiled slightly.

"There is a sentence in "The Book of Life" that is very good. If you want to achieve real success, you should achieve 'the unity of knowledge and action'..."

"You have already gained enough feelings through the feelings of reality to recognize yourself and the world..."

"Now, I think it's time to teach you what the real power to change the world is."

Old John looked gentle and pious.

Saying that, he took out a set of books from his arms.

That's nothing else, it's the Holy Book of Life, and several textbooks that go with it...

"Life, Rights and Struggle"

A book of "The Theory of Life Church and the Thought of Free Leader of Maple Moon"

A book titled "The Relationship between the Feudal Nobility and the Eternal Church"

A copy of "Equality, Fraternity and the Future"
