Chapter 2592 Education
The life of refugees is not easy. If they get sick, they have no medicine to take. If they want to ask the priest to give them medicine, they must be prepared to be sent to the court of justice, because the dignity of the priest cannot be interfered with, and no one is allowed to ask the priest to do anything.
The priest of the Tower of Judgment is a fanatic who kneels down to worship the statue a hundred times every day. He is even more convinced of his identity. He believes that he is a chosen existence. Everything he does is from the favor of God and is allowed by God. So whoever he says is a cultist is a cultist, and whoever he says should be punished should be punished, because he is the spokesperson of God in the world.
The more pious Mozgus is, the more stable and unshakable his power is. Compared with the power to do whatever he wants, what is kneeling down a hundred times a day?
Just as someone is willing to sell his soul in exchange for power, Mozgus is also using his own way to exchange for power.
Now the French court is launching a holy war and needs support. Although Mozgus will not go to the front line, as the manager of the Holy Land, he has the obligation to provide more money to the French court and send food and grass for the holy war.
So the exploitation of the surrounding refugees has become more and more serious. As long as there is a drop of value to be squeezed, it must be squeezed. Since the refugees can walk from their hometown to the Holy Land, they must have hidden their property, and they should donate all of it to the Holy Land.
In addition, the crackdown on the guys who appear in secret "justified by faith" has also been increased, and they will be arrested immediately once they are found.
In the past, there were only a few scriptures in the entire Holy Land, but now there are many more scriptures circulating among the refugees, and these scriptures are in miniature versions, which are convenient for hiding.
The eldest lady knew that all this was done by the Great Sword in secret, but she didn't understand one thing. Since the Great Sword was so powerful, why didn't he just kill Mozgus? Or kill herself? She didn't understand what the Great Sword wanted to do?
So the eldest lady couldn't help asking, "What do you want me to do? To kill or not to kill, to let go or not to let go?"
"I want you to wake up." Luna said lightly, "From your demeanor, I can see that you have been pampered since childhood, but you have never found your true self. You just keep pretending to be the role that others want you to play. You attract attention by being willful, but you lose yourself more and more in this willfulness."
"Don't talk as if you know me very well. You don't know who I am at all." The eldest lady was very angry, because she was indeed willful since she was a child, and basically few people could stand her. And she was really confused. She thought she could see herself clearly after joining the French court, but in fact she still didn't know what she wanted to do.
She beat servants, set fire to the house, rebelled against her parents, and whipped herself, but she was still a good girl.
As a noble daughter, her parents also doted on her in every way. As long as the problem could be solved with money, it was not a problem, so the eldest lady was distorted since she was a child. Except for being a little obedient when seeking parental care, she was a little devil most of the time. However, pretending to be well-behaved is useless. The parents care more about maintaining the status of the family than caring about their daughter. They think that as long as they give enough money, it is enough. As for how their daughter wants to squander the family, it doesn’t matter. Even if she burns down the house, it is just a matter of money.
The parents think they have done enough. After all, no matter what mistakes their daughter makes, they tolerate it, and they give their daughter money to spend as she pleases.
But what you can’t get is always in turmoil. If you get something too easily, you won’t cherish it. So the eldest daughter never feels sorry for money. Instead, she is very envious of her parents’ care and envies the children of ordinary families whose parents are always by their side.
At this time, you should ask the little girl who turned into a moth if she would be willing to exchange with the eldest daughter. Of course she would be willing, and even more than she could ask for.
But the eldest daughter is unhappy. She only thinks that what she gets is justified and can’t make her happy at all. Only those things that she can’t get can make her happy, but no matter how she asks for it, she can’t get it, even if she prays to God.
"Compared to those children who died tragically in the valley, you are already happy enough. But you take all this for granted. Ask yourself if you have paid anything for what you have gained? Those children who died in the valley had to start doing farm work at the age of seven or eight. If they did not do well, they would be punished. They were exposed to the wind and sun, hungry, cold, and not well-dressed, and not educated. Then, if they were unlucky, a serious illness could take their lives. Look at these refugees in front of you, look at these pale and skinny children, don't you have any reflection at all?"
The eldest lady was indeed a little touched, but it was far from the point of reflection. She couldn't help but ask why these tragedies happened, instead of thinking about what she could do for the tragedy, or what relationship she had with the tragedy. In her opinion, these tragedies were completely unreasonable and incomprehensible, but they had nothing to do with her.
The eldest lady looked blank, obviously not knowing what she should reflect on? These refugees were not caused by her. She also felt that the refugees were pitiful and that the dead children were pitiful, but what could she do?
"Sure enough, you never thought about how to work hard, you just keep asking for more." Luna looked at the young lady and thought that maybe she should really kill her to prevent her from becoming a greedy noble. The reason why she kidnapped the young lady was because Luna saw that the young lady had not completely become the kind of noble who oppressed the people, and there was still a chance to save her. But the young lady's character of asking for more has the potential to become a cruel noble.
"Think carefully, what have you done for the world, what have you paid for the people around you. If you haven't paid, why do you let the people around you obey your orders, and why do you accept wealth and honor with peace of mind?"
The eldest lady was stunned. Isn't the answer to this question very simple? Because I am the eldest lady, the daughter of the nobility, born with a golden key.
But if you think about it deeply, the people around me are not so much listening to my orders as obeying the orders of the family.
As a woman, Dajian has traveled alone, killed powerful enemies, and even fought against the King of Law. And what about me? Without the protection of the family, there is nothing left. What have I done for the family and for the people around me?
There are three brothers in the family, and I can only be the object of marriage. I always speak ill of the people around me, and sometimes I beat and scold them. Few people can stand me. The reason they don't leave is because the family pays them, not because of their own abilities.
Apart from the identity of a noble daughter, I am worthless. The eldest lady gradually realized the root cause of the problem, because everything around her did not belong to her, but to her father, so she always begged her father to care about her. So even if she set fire to her house, she would not feel distressed, and she only asked for her father's attention. In the final analysis, she had no ability, so she could only use this extreme method to attract people's attention.
If she had the ability, her parents would naturally care about her, and she would not have to go crazy and make a fuss.
After joining the French court, she whipped herself every night and felt that she had value, but in fact it was just an illusion, and she still had no value. In the final analysis, it was because she was begging others to recognize herself, instead of proving herself with her actions. The difference between these two points was a world of difference.
Suddenly, the eldest lady suddenly felt that compared with the great sword, she was just a grain of light competing with the sun and the moon. The existence of the great sword was so dazzling and full, just like the sun and the moon, it was hard to ignore, and she was just a parasite attached to the family, and to expand it, she was just a parasite attached to the human race.
The sun brings light and heat to people, and it is dedicated. Parasites absorb human blood and nutrients, which is demanding.
Their entire life is demanding and they have never devoted themselves to God. They beat themselves up and pretend to devote themselves to God, but this is just a self-deceiving illusion. Self-abuse is just self-touching and cannot help anyone. My outlook on life was instantly refreshed. I have to say that the eldest lady can still be saved, and Luna's efforts were not in vain.
