Chapter 253 252 Clorens's Motto

Chapter 253 252.Clorence’s motto

God's choice, a word whose meaning can be understood by looking at the literal meaning, is a person chosen by the gods.

But every time Lu Yu introduced himself as the Glory Divine Chosen to Serra, he felt awkward, or rather... abrupt.

First of all, Serra does not believe in God. Secondly, he has learned from Segro that there is no god in this world. Finally... Serra feels that many people in the higher-ups of the Theocracy also think that the God of Radiance is a lie.

A chosen one without a god, comical and absurd.

A person who does not believe in God and does not respect God has become the chosen one, which makes this absurd feeling even more like stepping on the accelerator when racing on a straight road, suddenly pulling it to the fullest.

Although the young fragment of Lawrence was paranoid, he told the truth about the belief in the Radiant God.

This is a lie weaved for the ignorant majority. It is a dream that has long comforted the people at the bottom and anesthetized them to spend this painful life. It is a placebo that makes the bottom people with no human form and personality willingly act like cattle and horses. It was born for only one reason - to facilitate governance.

"A continent that can give birth to seventh-level magicians, knowledge inheritance, and civilization should be very glorious."

Lu Yu did not continue the topic of divine selection and religion, but talked about seemingly unrelated things, but this made Sera smile, and she knew that Lu Yu had already felt it vaguely.

“The largest number of people in the splendid aristocratic mansions are not the aristocrats wearing luxurious dresses and not eating fireworks, but the slaves and servants huddled in small, dirty and smelly little houses. They can enter the mansion or go far away. Peeping the luxurious fragrance from a distance There was a sound coming from the door, and they looked at the warm yellow light shining through the curtains, but they could not approach the dining car or approach the long table to take out a piece of clean, non-mouldy bread, nor could they walk with their heads held high like well-dressed gentlemen. His eyes crossed with those noble ladies."

Serra said meaningfully: "There are many people in the mansion, but the group of people who define what 'people' are can't see it. Maybe they have good intentions, maybe they have forgotten. I hope it is the latter, but history tells me , they are more of the former.”

Seeing that Lu Yu and Sera were chatting animatedly, Sigrid brought the yellow juice and left.

Sierra raised the glass filled with juice, shook it, and watched the finely chopped fruit pulp settle. The bright orange-yellow juice rolled up waves on the wall of the glass. On a whim, she twisted the glass with two fingers and narrowed her eyes slightly. , taking a sip of juice as if tasting wine.

To be honest, it was very artificial, but seeing the delicate look on Sera's lips raised up, Lu Yu could only think of the two words elegance and beauty.

With good looks, he can really do whatever he wants.

"Do you think this action is contrived and disgusting, and you feel uncomfortable all over?"

"right."

"That's what they do. I don't cater to them and I'm said to have a 'personality' because of my status. Therefore, many people who want to pursue me also do this deliberately... Do you know why Lulu wants to escape? Apart from Tanya, She doesn’t like these people either, because she has never belonged to that camp. It’s hard for someone who comes from a lower class background and can empathize with them to tolerate their hypocrisy and pretentiousness. If she could stand it... I wouldn’t get close to her.”

Lu Yu let out a long sigh and started talking about unrelated things again.

"I thought what I'd seen was bad enough."

"The lower limit is meant to be broken. If you go to Mela, I can show you how to experience it. If Clorons is still alive, his decay may accelerate."

"Sigrid, I forgot to bring a change of clothes, help me!!"

Lu Yu and Sera covered their foreheads at the same time.

When Lulu met Lu Yu in the tree hole, her nerves were always tense because she suddenly encountered a disaster, so she always gave Lu Yu a feeling of imposingness, wisdom and erudition. But after being in contact for a long time, her nature was released, and she was trained by Tanya to subconsciously like to rely on others... In short, when Lu Yu and Sera are both here, Lulu behaves like a big child, she Compared with the child Mist Demon, Xu Yu, a curious baby who lacks common sense, the biggest advantage is that he does not treat them as an encyclopedia and asks questions...

"Is it hard to take care of children?" Sierra teased.

Lu Yu sighed: "It's okay, I'm used to it. The mist demon has passed the stage where all the weird problems were thrown at me. Now it only needs to be solved for a moment. As for Lulu... let's complement each other. She is an idiot sometimes in life. I often appear to be weak in magic, and no one can laugh at me."

Anna and Isko had already come up with a charter for establishing an orphanage, and they handed the drafted content to Sera.

Sierra glanced over and looked at Anna with interest.

"Recruiting a small number of local people will give the local people a higher sense of identity with the orphanage. I agree with this, but you wrote in the recruitment column that 'a small number of slaves can be recruited', which I am very interested in." Serra said , "Compared to ordinary people with families, slaves are not easy to grasp. The source of money for the orphanage and the secret of the moon-carved barrier are not trivial matters. Try to convince me, otherwise I will cross this item out."

Anna and Isko glanced at Lu Yu from time to time, and used the corner of their eyes to pay attention to Sigrid who was wiping Lulu's hair.

"Why are you targeting Lu Yu? He taught you?"

Anna answered truthfully: "We heard from Sigrid about her being chosen by Lu Yu, and then we suddenly thought we could give it a try..."

Sigrid, who didn't hear everything, raised her head blankly: "What's wrong with me?"

Anna recounted what she heard from Sigrid. Sierra blinked, looked at Lu Yu, and then at Sigrid: "I didn't expect Sigrid picked it up like this. You have to have a spirit of resistance." , Thank you for daring to take this risk."

"I have confidence in the contract, and I can't buy a walking dead. If you use it, you don't dare to entrust more important things to someone who is in awe of everyone. If you can obey quickly, you can He quickly obeyed others. Under the circumstances, Lulu and I wanted to supplement our combat power and have a good helper, so we had no choice but to do so. "

"What you said makes sense. Let me take a look at the contract."

Sera twisted the tattered contract with two fingers in disgust, and she couldn't help but complain: "A soul contract of this level, what magician can take out such a thing and sell it, is it really effective... "

Sigrid thought for a while: "It seems so. I remember that something unexpected happened after I drank Lulu's potion for the first time. It was Lu Yu who used the scroll to calm me down."

The potion was said to be unpleasant to drink by Lu Yu and ridiculed by Sera. Lulu couldn't hold on to her dignity as a pharmacist.

"Please tell me clearly, it's not that you had an accident after drinking my potion, it's that you didn't explain your physical condition clearly, and you experienced rejection after drinking the effect I specially prepared for you!"

"Repulsion... You learned my hybrid furnace. It's obviously a human-dragon hybrid. Even after drinking a race-specific potion, you will be repelled. Is it possible that there are other bloodlines? Forget it, let's not mention that, let's talk about this contract." He shook the contract in his hand and said, "This contract will be damaged at any time. Do you want to replace it with a new one? Collet can buy a good one."

Sigrid glanced at Lu Yu quietly, and Lulu also stopped wiping her hair.

"Tear it up for me. It's no longer needed."

"Sure?"

"I stopped treating Sigrid as my slave a long time ago. Have you ever seen a slave who can eat at the table with his master and call him by his name?"

Sera quickly and neatly lit the contract, and as the contract turned into ashes, Sigrid's vague restraints disappeared.

"Now it's your turn to answer a question." Sera looked at Sigrid, "Are you following Lu Yu just to undo the contract? I think the binding force of the contract on you should be quite low. You have to go through all the trouble." , should be able to break free.”

Sigrid was flexing her muscles, as if savoring the feeling of freedom.

"At first, I wanted to run away. Anyway, these two people looked stupid..."

Lu Yu and Lulu both frowned.

Sigrid took a step back: "First impression, first impression!"

Lu Yu and Lulu stood up at the same time.

Sigrid said quickly: "But what Lu Yu said is quite interesting. At least it's different from other slave buyers I've seen... In his words, he's a bit mean?"

Seeing Lu Yu looking back and forth on her, Sigrid immediately made up for it: "But he rarely did that after that. It gave me the feeling that he had never dealt with slaves before and was not very familiar with everything around him. . So I planned to follow and take a look. Unexpectedly, I followed and ended up here. I didn't expect to go this far. How can I put it... It's a novel experience. After all, I never dared to imagine leaving the land I am familiar with. Even when I was a slave, I would imagine escaping back to the forest to find companions. Seeing so many strange people and things was like a dream.”

"Lulu is also very strange. Anyway, she is different from the magicians I have met... I can't say specifically, but she is very special anyway. In short, I feel that it doesn't matter whether I have a contract or not, it doesn't affect me wandering around with them. I'm used to it. ”

Sierra clapped her hands and grinned: "Okay, okay, I understand. In this case, please do me a favor. Please help Anna when she chooses a slave."

Sierra turned the page and saw the inspection content written by Anna.

There is also a welfare home in the city of Beaune, and it is an official welfare home. The two orphanages basically relied on some funds from local guilds and trade alliances. When she came to Boyne City to preach, Anna found that these orphanages were basically full and they could not provide a stable place for the orphans to live. We can only barely maintain the manpower and space to distribute relief, and provide a shelter for those patients who are in urgent need.

The deepest impression on Anna when she was preaching there was that the terminally ill old man held his own hand with his withered hands and kept silently chanting that the God of Glory illuminates all things, over and over again, until he lost all breath.

People who are dying here hope to catch something. The God of Glory is very popular. In the eyes of these sick, weak and lonely people, they are willing to believe in whatever god it is.

Or I hope that if there is an afterlife, I can live a better life.

Or want to hold on to the last hope of survival.

There are also several private welfare homes, but the existence of these welfare homes is more of a facade. The owners behind them are also local wealthy businessmen and some low-status nobles. The welfare homes can earn them a certain reputation. You don’t have to pay too much money, so why not?

Sierra moved her fingers over the words. After reading it, he passed the document to others. After everyone had read it, she looked at Lu Yu and asked, "What problems do you think our orphanage will face."

Seeing Lulu looking at him with her chin in her hand, Lu Yu said without hesitation: "We have disturbed the interests of the nobles and businessmen. Originally, they used the welfare home as a place to gain fame, and they only needed to make a gesture to get cheap praise. But the welfare home that Clorens asked us to run is a real investment, but we don't get any return. We have ruined someone else's show."

Lulu, who wanted to show off in front of Lu Yu, really joined the discussion.

"But what we are doing should be what the Bourne City and the local trade union of Collet want to see, and they will support it."

"Any support other than help?" Lu Yu said, "They will encourage such thankless things as welfare, but what if there is friction with those nobles and big businessmen for this? They will not help clearly."

Sera turned his head to look at Anna and Isco: "Tell me, how do you plan to solve it?"

Anna thought for a while: "Report to the trade union in advance and let them leave in advance?"

Looking at the unsatisfied look on Sera's face, Anna hurriedly said: "Cooperate with local nobles, share the reputation of relief with them, and let them get a large amount of rewards with a small amount of effort."

Lulu immediately understood Sera's intention. She naturally understood that Anna was compromising with local forces in exchange for the stability of the welfare home. She could understand this approach, but she felt a little disgusted.

Sera asked again: "After the welfare house is built, what kind of relief food should be distributed to the hungry people?"

Anna did not hesitate at this time. There was a reference to the standards of the Church on this point: "Rye crops, slightly increased during festivals."

Unexpectedly, Sera, Lu Yu, and even Lulu shook their heads, and even Isco seemed a little helpless.

Xu Yu, who was having fun with the fog monster behind Lu Yu, was confused.

"It's okay to compromise, but you don't care about the relief. Although Clorens is bad, he repented from the bottom of his heart at the last moment. At least his last wish should be respected."

Lu Yu did not answer immediately. He was very curious why Lulu immediately expressed opposition. According to past experience, she should have simply expressed her approval.

Sera saw what Lu Yu was thinking and interrupted: "Tanya brought her to show her presence when distributing food to the victims. Guess if she has seen Tanya arrange her subordinates to make a fuss about food."

Lulu wanted to be proud for a while, but was exposed by Sera. She glared at Sera with dissatisfaction.

"Xu Yu, Clorens' last wish is actually a bit of his stubbornness. He hopes that we can understand the 'decay' that happened to him, and respect the decision we made after seeing the decay. Even if we finally give up, he will not be surprised. At the moment of his death, he has reconciled with everything in the past."

"What does this have to do with relief food?"

"Yes, because you will understand at this time that the welfare home can only save the lucky ones in the end." Lu Yu calmly said a cruel reality. "At the same time, you will also know that you are not a saint or a god, and you can't save everyone."

"What he wants to tell us is not just a welfare home, but more."

This is a fact that can only be deeply realized by seriously thinking about the completion of the welfare home, and it is also the motto that Clorens buried behind his last wish.

I have been resting my body during the period of resignation. I know you are all waiting impatiently. I can start after I finish the hospital examination. Those who have followed the previous book probably know that my waist is not very good. It is due to work and coding. It is not a day or two that I feel uncomfortable after sitting for a long time.
