"Do you have anything to explain?"

Tai Xisen raised his hand and said: "Let's talk a little more straightforwardly, okay? You push me down later, and I will cooperate with you to play this scene well."

When Norton heard this, he nodded and said, "Okay."

"I have always been curious about one thing. Why did I lose so miserably in that expanded roundtable meeting? Tell me something direct."

Norton said: "Before that meeting, didn't you always feel that there were many people and factions on your side?"

"Yes, that's right. I originally thought that the enlarged round table meeting could pass restrictions on your power, but I didn't expect that it ended up being a disastrous defeat on my side. I can't figure it out."

"That's because I deliberately arranged for some of the factions that always cheer for you to come over."

"Did you arrange to come here? They have been controlled by you for a long time?"

Norton shook his head and said: "I have no interest in controlling them. They also have their own demands, but they are suppressed by me deliberately. It can be regarded as being deliberately pushed to your side by me."

"Then what?"

"I understand your old appeal. You and those behind you do not belong to the classical school, nor do you belong to fundamentalism. You are very enlightened. What you advocate is to carry out reforms based on the existing situation and formulate a system that is more suitable for the current situation.

The order system of the situation must reproduce the balance of the church circle in "Symmetra".

In fact, I agree with many of your views and policies, and I will adopt your suggestions in the future. But for now, I can't do that, at least not explicitly.

I want more power, I have my own blueprint, and I don’t want to be restricted.

Those factions that I have squeezed out to your old side, they have joined your old side, which seems to make your old side more powerful, but in fact, they will behave more ostentatiously and crazily than you do.

It's also more extreme.

Gradually, it will arouse the resentment of the people in the middle circle, which is why you always lose in enlarged round table meetings."

"Is it that simple?"

"Yes, it's that simple. Of course, the main reason is that the believers are actually tired of this system that pays all-round efforts for order and balance. My strategy caters to the current desire for change within the church.

Maybe you are sensible, but everyone is getting tired of this so-called ‘reason’.

The relationship between you and the previous high priest was too close. The last high priest was still your teacher, and everyone felt tired of it.

And when everyone wants to change, no matter what your proposition is, they will instinctively resent and reject it. They don't want to hear your explanations and elaborations, they just simply don't want to see you continue to control the religion.

It’s not that I won the expanded round table meeting, but that you and those around you can no longer represent the aspirations of the majority of believers in this religion.”

"Does the voice of the majority...must be correct?" Teixin asked.

Norton shook his head and said: "Leave it to time. There is no right or wrong between us, just different routes. Just like our great God of Order massacred the gods at the end of the last era, if those who hinder order cannot be

If all the long-lasting stones are removed, the orderly operation will only be a compromise based on a fragile balance."

"You will lead the divine religion into the abyss of war."

"I am not the last Pope of Light. My heart is always loyal to the God of Order. This is a fact that even the Temple of Order cannot deny. No one in this world can doubt my devotion to Order."

Teixin closed his eyes, he was tired.

High Priest Norton also leaned back slightly: "Actually, I hope that you and those people can live longer and be able to see the changes I have brought to the religion. I hope that I can see it through the eyes of my opponents.

Here, I see resonance.”

"I also hope you can succeed, High Priest." Tai Xisen opened his eyes again, with deep exhaustion in his eyes, "But it's a pity that I can't witness it."

"I'm so sorry."

"I don't want the church to be divided."

"I know."

"I will cooperate with you, but there are still some things that I still have to say. This is not a line dispute between you and me, but a specific operation that I think can be worthy of improvement."

"I'm here just to listen to your criticisms and suggestions. Just say whatever you want."

"Just like this Fire Island, it doesn't matter if the remnants of the light dare to cause trouble. This is the way they declare their presence now. However, the light has been silent for a thousand years. A thousand years is enough to wash a pile of gravel many times.

.

This time I saw the split within the Remnant of Light. When the real light replaces the Remnant of Light and becomes the mainstream, the divine religion must re-examine its attitude towards the Remnant of Light."

High Priest Norton looked solemn and asked, "What do you think we should do?"

"Either the order recognizes the light again, but this is almost impossible. The entire church circle will not agree to the return of the light."

"Yes." Norton nodded.

In the process of the demise of the light, and in the past thousand years, all orthodox religious religions have contributed to suppressing the remnants of the light. Precisely because they know how powerful the light once was, they are even less likely to let it rekindle.

Teixin said: "Or, start supporting it secretly."

High Priest Norton was a little surprised: "I thought you would suggest intensifying the attack."

"Continuing to attack will only make the false light dissipate faster and accelerate the rise of real light. Why should we help our enemies become purer and stronger?

The lights that are willing to accept our funding cannot be real. We cannot let them be replaced and die, otherwise we will face a more powerful enemy.

Ahem...this world already has order and light, so it's a bit redundant."

"Yes, I understand. I will follow your suggestions and go back to have someone formulate a plan for implementation."

"Also, it's the Fire Island, the Pirate Family, and the Abyss. They all dare to do such things blatantly. Your series of actions in the early stage are actually a kind of indulgence to the church circle. I hope..."

"I will make corrections and make amends. I'm just waiting for a more suitable opportunity."

"Oh……"

"What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, as long as you know, let the church circle continue to respect order."

"I will."

"What about the Mipos Islands? I have already submitted the report."

"I saw that sanctions plans are being formulated."

Tai Xisen felt a little tired after hearing this. The high priest's attitude was much better than he expected, but after all, the two sides had deep differences, which were impossible to reconcile.

What you cannot do while you are alive, you will even less be able to do after you die.

"One last thing, after that, I will accompany you downstairs to face everyone and wrap up the matter completely."

"You said."

"I am not speaking for the family within the sect and the conservative forces you call it. Everything must have its reason for its existence. They may indeed hinder the speed of the ship of this sect, but they are also ballast stones. Radical

Reform will easily destroy the original ecology and rhythm of our teaching. If a person who has been walking slowly all year round suddenly starts running, it will easily cause problems, especially for young people, who are in order.

future.

Vic, call in the people from the observation group outside."

Vic immediately looked at the high priest, who nodded.

Vic then opened the door, pointed to Karen and others, and motioned for them to come in.

Karen was a little confused, but still led his men into the room one by one, and then all stood in a row along the wall.

After Karen and others came in, Vic stood at the door and did not close the door in a hurry, which meant that people outside the door could see and hear what was going on inside.

Teixin stretched out his hand: "I'm thirsty."

The Vic stood by the door, and the high priest sat;

The whip bearer Foden smiled and went to the side, brought a cup of tea over there, and placed it in Taichison's hand.

"Crack!"

Teichison threw the tea directly into Foden's face.

There were ten thousand ways for the whip bearer to avoid the tea coming at him, but he did not choose to avoid it. Instead, he let the tea splash on his face, leaving a lot of tea leaves on his hair and face.

The dignified whip bearer looked very embarrassed now.

Teixin scolded: "What a group of young people used to be, but now they have become speculators who only know how to gamble and place bets at a young age. I feel pity for these children!"

If we continue to teach the young people of our religion this way, what is the hope for the future of our religion?

The people in this observation group should be dismissed, interrogated and dispatched to set a negative example and clean up the atmosphere!"

Foden was not angry, still smiling, and wiped the tea leaves off his face with his hands. Vic then trotted over to deliver a towel, but was gently pushed away by Foden.

The whip bearer looked at Teixin and the dying old man, and while pointing to Karen and others standing there, he said word by word:

"They are my people."
