Chapter 857: Awakening of Faith(1/2)
John, the one who is favored by God, turned out to be the old John!
In just a few months, how did he become a respected goddess of life?
Frank looked at Old John, and his heart was shocked and he couldn't calm down for a moment.
He carefully looked at the divine favored man who was regarded as a mentor by the poor, and it was difficult to associate him with the vulgar miner in the Lük City mine a few months ago...
Is the Church of Life really that powerful?
Can you actually completely change a person in just a few months?
What exactly did Old John go through?
"You... haven't you gone to Zeroland? Why did you come to Larona? And you have become a god-loving person?"
After all, he couldn't help asking his own questions.
After hearing Frank's words, Old John sighed slightly and told about his experiences over the past few months:
"It's a long story, thanks to the goddess's love..."
"After going to Zeroland, I visited the Church of Life and became a church of Life."
"And after knowing the teachings of the goddess of life, I finally found my own path..."
As he said, Old John said solemnly and devoutly:
"The empire is corrupt, the nobles are degenerate, and the eternal church is still lost in the glory of the past. Only the Church of Life can save this darker era, and only the Church of Life can awaken the world and completely free itself from suffering..."
Frank's heart moved.
Looking at Old John's gaze full of passion and faith, he couldn't help asking:
"My Lord John, why are you so sure?"
Old John smiled gently.
He glanced at Frank deeply and said:
"His Excellency Frank, you have come here. Isn't what you see along the way enough to prove?"
Frank was silent.
Old John is right.
Since he came to the slums, he has not been shocked for a moment.
The newly renovated slums ignited the poor who hoped, and their vitality...
All of this subverts his cognition.
Frank suddenly felt that the knowledge he had learned in the past decade might have been completely wrong in some aspects...
Looking at the smiling faces of the poor, full of sunshine and hope, he felt that he had already grasped something.
But it's not enough.
Many things that happened in front of him were beyond his existing knowledge and he could not think clearly about the meaning behind this.
He needs a wise man to give himself a guide...
At this point, Frank no longer cared about the surprise and shock in his heart.
He took a deep breath and saluted Old John again:
"Mr. John, I have doubts in my heart and want to ask you for help..."
"Why... why can slums that are not optimistic about in the world actually undergo such earth-shaking changes in just a few months under your leadership?"
Frank really wants to know the reason for this.
Because if he could also inspire the fighting spirit of the poor and reborn the poor like John Old, he would have hope 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 a professional being born is small, it is a terrible force.
At this moment, Frank saw hope for changing the world!
"Because of love, because all things are equal, because every life has infinite possibilities..."
Old John said devoutly.
"Love? All things are equal?"
Frank's eyes were a little confused.
Old John did not directly answer Frank's question.
He smiled gently and asked again:
"His Excellency Frank, do you love this world?"
Frank was even more confused.
"Mr. John, I...I don't understand very well. Can you explain it in detail?"
He asked.
Old John smiled:
"No hurry, you may understand if you stay by my side for a while."
After saying that, he glanced at Frank deeply and smiled:
"I can see that you are standing at the fork in your life now, your eyes full of confusion about the future. If you can find the meaning of life by yourself, maybe... it will be better for your future."
After hearing Old John's words, Frank swallowed the questions in his heart.
He looked at the smiling poor people around him, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.
He was really curious about the changes in the ghetto, to Old John, to the Church of Life...
He believed that if he figured out everything, then what he wanted to do would surely usher in the dawn of hope.
Just like he named his mercenary group...
In this way, Frank and his guards lived in the slums of Larona.
He became the deputy of Old John and began to assist the other party in daily affairs.
Old John's life is very regular.
This God-lovers in the Life Church only slept for four hours a day, and the rest of the time were busy.
Preach to the poor in the early morning and impart faith and knowledge.
In the morning, we brought the elves and the poor to build slums, learn life skills, or open up land in the suburbs...
In the afternoon, I will treat the poor for free and pray with the believers of life.
At night, I personally baptized the talented poor and activated my extraordinary power...
Day after day, never interrupted.
As time went by, Frank personally saw that the slums were getting better and better day by day, and more and more people gathered here.
Finally...even not only the poor, refugees and homeless people, even the ordinary civilians of Larona, began to appear here.
Looking at Old John, who had been smiling and relieved about the changes in the slums, at that moment, Frank finally understood what the other party said about "love".
I'm afraid it is precisely because of the love for the "world" that Old John chose to stay here as a favored person of God!
He told Old John what he wanted, but all he received was Old John's smile.
The other party did not deny it, but did not agree.
At this moment, Frank knew that what he thought was probably not enough.
He continued to observe.
As he was stationed in the slums, Frank gradually became familiar with the poor.
By assisting John Old, he gradually participated in the construction of slums, personally led the mercenaries to help the poor improve their living environment, or teach those talented poor people's martial arts...
He wouldn't have done these things before.
Or, he never considered doing it in the past.
Not to mention that the other party is a poor person, the difference between the identity between the extraordinary and the ordinary person determines that professionals will not impart extraordinary knowledge to mortals 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 more and more friendly to Frank.
In the end, they were full of respect for John Old, just as they did.
"Good morning! Lord Frank!"
This is what Frank hears every morning.
Frank also changed from being uncomfortable at the beginning to having a smile and nodded in response.
Days change day by day, and finally...the annual Harvest Festival is ushering in.
Harvest Festival…
This is a rather old festival on the mainland.
In the Church of Life, this is also the most important festival of the year.
To be continued...
