Chapter 201: Punishment by Light(1/2)

In silence, Li Ke looked at the civilians below. They were in ragged clothes, and their faces were sallow and thin.

In this world, it is clear that the rich mineral resources allow a lord to easily use steel fences to keep their manor shortcuts, but Li Ke can still see that some poor people do not even have an iron spoon or a hoe, so they can only

Made of wood.

But unfortunately, wooden farm tools also cost money.

He thought it was ridiculous. Capital was born to exploit people, but some people still felt that the feudal system was hundreds of times better than capital. It seemed that as long as they met a wise king and capable ministers, or even said that as long as the king was not a bad person, everything would be fine.

Can solve all problems.

But Li Ke only thought it was ridiculous.

"Is Tenaris a wise king?

Is Varian a good person?

But what about their kingdom?

The people of Stormwind City are in dire straits, and the farmers of Lordaeron are overwhelmed and even want to become undead in exchange for dignity.

What dignity?

The dignity of one's own offspring can change.

This was something he had seen with his own eyes, and a beating he had personally experienced.

And the Holy Light protects such a kingdom and such a wise king and capable ministers.

Protect the sin beneath this glamour.

Because it stands too high and too high -

Holy.

Mortals do not need perfect holiness, it is just a slogan and a goal.

History does not require perfect holiness, it is just the result that history will achieve in the future."

These thoughts echoed in Li Ke's mind. He knew that his former self would never think this way. That naive self would only think: 'Ah, such a good opportunity and such a sacred power, why don't we change the social form?

What further?'.

He doesn't do it now, although he still does it.

But it's not about turning that savage beast into something else.

Instead, he completely cut the throats of the princes and nobles and unleashed the true form of that ferocious beast.

He doesn't need these ragged people below to become benevolent gentlemen, nor does he need them to become law-abiding.

He only needs to turn the sheep under the princes and nobles into savage beasts.

His thoughts became clear at this time, and he opened his arms and called for the coming of the Holy Light.

The curtain of Holy Light fell from the sky. He despised the Holy Light, was tired of the Holy Light, and even hated the Holy Light.

But when he needs it.

The Holy Light will always come.

The warm holy light reminds Li Ke at this moment that he is no longer the same person he once was, but he still shares his strength and warmth with everyone.

Li Ke's cloak was constantly floating under the urging of the holy light, and traces of the holy light constantly sprinting out appeared under his feet. His light and the holy light calling out from the sky were here and now, at this time.

At this moment, in this barren western wilderness, a pure and innocent holy land is formed!

The soil begins to turn golden white and the plants begin to change their nature, becoming non-toxic and healing to all living things.

The civilians below were bathed in the holy light and immediately felt spiritual peace, and the irritability in their hearts began to disappear. Some minor injuries and illnesses were also cured under the radiation of such a huge amount of holy light. They couldn't believe it.

Looking at Li Ke, who had dazzling wings of holy light behind his back, and kept stretching out to form this canopy of holy light, for a moment, he couldn't tell whether he was a god or a human being.

Li Ke stretched out his hand, as if calling and praying for something, and at this moment, a pink flower fell on his hand.

His gloved hands shone with holy light. He gently twisted the flower. The flower was immediately baptized by a huge amount of holy light and turned into a crystal of holy light. Then, after Li Ke twisted it,

It turned into crystal golden powder, and then he let go of his hand and let it go.

The golden powder was floating in the wind, and he also looked at the graces that were bathed in the holy light.

"But, look, the Holy Light is also looking after you."

He waved his hand to let them see clearly the brilliance of the holy light falling on him.

"This means that in the eyes of the Holy Light, the nobles are no nobler than you. The blood and flesh on their bodies are the same as yours. So, what distinguishes you?"

Li Ke's words made these farmers start thinking under the influence of the Holy Light.

"Let me tell you why, because they have power and wealth. From the moment their children are born, they will receive the services of more than a dozen teachers. There will be several teachers with superb sword skills to help them learn swordsmanship and martial arts.

, the food that you say can only be eaten during the New Year and festivals, to them, is just scraps to be thrown away. But what about you? You, and your children, have been around you and learned from you since childhood.

For farm work, if you want to learn another skill, you will need more than ten or even decades of pleasing and serving."

Li Ke paused for a moment. Although these farmers were stimulated by the holy light, their knowledge was still unable to quickly understand what Li Ke meant.

"Think about it, if the lord's son wants to learn to bake bread, then the lord can summon all the bakers in his territory and get all their secret recipes in one day. But what about your children? Yours

If a child wants to learn to bake bread, what does he need to do for the baker?"

He told them, told these people, using what they could best understand.

"Are they wrong? No, there are no mistakes in this world! The lord can afford so many teachers because he can afford the price for teachers to teach them skills, but you do not have the ability to pay this price."

Most farmers lowered their heads. They knew this very clearly and did not need Li Ke to say more, but...

Usually they can deceive themselves and deceive their children that one day they will be lucky enough to become a noble lord, or a wealthy businessman or something.

"After I came to this world, what I saw were these injustices, and even I myself suffered deeply from them."

Li Ke recalled everything he encountered when he first arrived, especially when he wanted to join the Holy Light Church but could not. A sigh of helplessness and sympathy came from the void.

"Since I came to this world, I have seen countless abandoned babies, countless old people dying of hunger, and a man in his thirties who looks close to sixty years old. He is willing to give everything just to be in the world.

I got a job here. Why? Because the nobles don't need weak people like him, because businessmen don't need weak farmhands like him, because farmers don't need people like this who can't do more work for them.

Oh, he told me, Lord Li Ke, I don’t need your money or rewards, I need a job. So what makes a peasant risk being killed to ask for a job from me, a knight?

Because he has a family, he as a man, as a husband, and his wife as a mother need to support their children and themselves.

He must shoulder his highest mission as a man, as a woman, as a wife and husband, as a parent, and as a human being.

Raise children and spread hope.

But when I looked at their fertile, endless fields filled with wheat, their warehouses full of grains, and their gardens full of cattle and sheep, I had a question in my mind."

Li Ke took a deep breath and wanted to know what these poor people in the western wilderness also wanted to know.

"Why don't the farmers have enough to eat and the weavers don't have enough to wear? They work so hard and conscientiously, why don't they still have enough to eat? Why are they still alive after all this!"

The farmers of Lordaeron who voluntarily became undead flashed through his mind. Those farmers shocked the prince Arthas, how could he, a time traveler, stay away from it.

He hates Alsace, is it really because Alsace had a conflict with him?

"During this period, I understood that there is still hope for them."

Li Ke looked at the people below as if looking at the sword in his hand.

"They hope that they will have a good life in the coming year, that they will be able to have enough food, clothing, and even meat. They hope that their sons and daughters can make a difference, live a better life than they do, and that their families can live a comfortable life.

Better. Being able to make your life better through your own hands and efforts."

"I think this is not an excessive request, but a very reasonable request. Friends, I hope you can allow me to call you this. But I have to regret to tell you that among those nobles who enrich themselves,

In the eyes of those officials who were lining their own pockets, this was an even more excessive request than killing them.

They extinguished your hopes. When you are looking at the endless fields of grain and herds of cattle and sheep with joy, they tell you that you not only have to pay the king's taxes and the lord's taxes, but also give them these high-level taxes.

The nobles respected you, so your endless grain became bran that could never fill their stomachs, and your cattle and sheep became meat in their mouths and gold coins in their hands.

His Highness Varian's taxes are not very high. None of the people in Stormwind City stop praising his benevolence and bravery under the shining of the Holy Light. But why, under the governance of such a benevolent and brave king?

, are you still so poor?

My friends, this kingdom is infested with moths.

The thieves of Defias were just civilians like you at first. They were full of hope and built the castle of their proud kingdom so that the tragedies caused by the orcs would no longer come to this world and the darkness would no longer be allowed.

The tide flooded the people of this kingdom again!

But what did they get?"

Li Ke could see clearly that Van Cleef, who was hiding among the crowd, and the Defias stonemasons clenched their fists.

Especially Van Cleef, his eyes looked at him with contempt, but the hand holding the stone pillar almost seemed to be embedded in it.

"betray!"

Li Ke roared out, and as he roared, the Defias below also roared out.

This traitorous roar made the guards who maintained order a little uneasy. They were not blind or deaf. How could they not know who these outstanding masons suddenly appeared in Li Ke's territory?
