Chapter 639 Pilgrims

Perhaps this was the first time that Airl began to see a slightly gloomy expression on the face of the magic swordsman.

At this moment, the smile on Capone's face disappeared, and his expression began to show some colors that made Arrow feel a little scared... He was very lucky that Capone was not staring directly at him with this expression, otherwise

If so, Ai Luo was really afraid that his feet would become weak from fear immediately, and even standing here would be extremely difficult.

"Then...did you...become an apostate because you couldn't get explanations from the Holy See for many problems?" Ai Luo swallowed and said in a tentative tone.

Hearing Arrow's question, the gloomy expression on Capone's face disappeared in an instant, and returned to the gentle smile before, and said slowly: "I know. In fact, I have always been aware of this matter.

matter."

"We humans may not be able to solve all the problems we are facing now. Who can have the courage to say that he can understand all the problems in the world and be able to provide a timely solution when those problems arise?

What’s the perfect solution?”

Ai Luo was a little confused at this moment. He tilted his head: "So...?"

Capone glanced at the tiramisu next to him and looked at the student, his eyes full of tenderness. After a moment, he withdrew his gaze and looked at Aiello again: "President Aiello, can you understand that when you are right?

When certain things give rise to some ideas, and when you feel that the explanations within the Holy See cannot answer your questions, those so-called high priests and bishops will all tell you, 'This is God's will. It's just that we are currently stupid and cannot understand God's lofty will.

How do I feel after such an answer?"

Ai Luo thought for a while and felt that it was better to follow what the magic swordsman said for now, and then said: "Yes, this answer is indeed a bit perfunctory."

But when Arrow finished speaking, Mr. Capone smiled and shook his head and said, "You don't have to follow my words. Because at that time, my mood was 'I see, I am too stupid and not God's.

There’s something wrong with the will’.”

"Forehead……"

At that moment, Ai Luo suddenly felt like he had answered the question with confidence, only to have someone throw a bucket of cold water on him.

Regarding Arrow's slightly disappointed expression, Capone still smiled and said: "Don't mind, if you still want to hear, then I can continue."

"I was really thinking at the time that I really had no way to answer those questions. Maybe I was too stupid to understand God's will. So I didn't think too much and continued to live like this."

"But..."

The corner of Mr. Capone's mouth suddenly twitched, and that gentle smile was suddenly mixed with a faint sneer——

"A question can be explained by this answer. But if the question becomes more, what will the result be?"

After a short pause, the magic swordsman seemed to want to let Airl think about it for a moment, and then continued after a moment -

"Because the question in my mind was not answered, I thought I was stupid, so I tried my best to become smarter. However, as time went by, not only was the question in my mind not answered,

Instead, I created more problems."

"I have seen a lot of things and done a lot of things. Some of these things can be explained, but some things have turned into questions one after another that have begun to occupy my mind."

"I was so tortured by these questions that I almost couldn't sleep. With these questions, I asked the high priest again."

"But, maybe the high priest I asked was also so stupid, so he couldn't answer my question. So I asked another high priest."

"Back and forth, I asked five high priests, but their answers began to become contradictory and inconsistent with logic. I turned to ask the archbishop, but the archbishop listened to my questions.

Then, he answered me again with the answer: 'This is God's will. We mortals do not yet have the wisdom to understand God's will, so we need to continue to be pious.'"

After hearing this, Mr. Capone paused again. He raised his head and looked at the sky, seeming to be thinking about something, but the sneer on the corner of his mouth became more obvious.

Ai Luo thought for a while and said, "Is it because you couldn't get an explanation that... you betrayed the Holy See?"

"What a pity, President Arrow. You answered wrong again."

Capone seemed to like looking at Arrow's current embarrassed look, and it was only when his eyes turned to the short president in front of him that the sneer on the corner of his mouth turned into that gentle smile again——

"I did not betray the Holy See. On the contrary, although I had many doubts in my heart, the rewards the Holy See gave me were too generous, which gave me no motivation to betray the Holy See. After I joined

Before joining the Holy See, although my family had some money, we could only be regarded as a farmer with a slightly better life. But after joining the Holy See, I received land, houses, cattle and sheep distributed by the Holy See. After I got the title of Knight Templar

The salary you can get after the title may be far beyond your imagination. I have a distinguished status and can follow a large number of followers when I go in and out. So why should I give up these things and apostatize just because some problems cannot be explained?

Woolen cloth?"

"Forehead……"

Once again, Ai Luo felt the burning pain on his face. This phantom pain even made him cover his face involuntarily, feeling the burning red shame on his cheeks, and silently lowered his head.

Regarding Arrow's shame, Capone laughed and said slowly: "However, although I have no intention of apostasy, the Holy See seems to think that there is something wrong with me. To put it simply... it is that there is too much problem."

too much'."

After Arrow's face was no longer burning so badly, Capone continued -

"I kept asking questions, but I couldn't get an accurate explanation for these questions. Although I still feel that I still like to be in the Holy See, the high priests in the Holy See seem to have begun to feel that I have gradually become an unstable factor."

"Perhaps in order to prevent my thoughts from spreading to more believers, they began to gradually remove my power. My title as a Templar is still hanging on, but the resources at my disposal are becoming more and more important.

I came less and less, and what I said became less and less powerful. In the end, I was even persuaded by people in the Holy See to take a leave of absence, leaving only an empty name."

"So, what exactly is faith?"

"At this moment, I finally started to think about this issue. Does faith not allow any doubts? If I believe in the God of Light, then shouldn't there be even the slightest doubt?"

"No, actually there is no problem with the God of Light. I believe that the great god is omniscient and omnipotent. As the high priests and archbishops said, his wisdom must be far beyond what I can understand. But the problem is

, The God of Light is so great, it does not mean that the Holy See of Light can explain God’s will well. At the very least, they have not been able to use a reasonable explanation to answer everything I have done for the God of Light.”

"At this moment, I finally decided to leave the Holy See of Light. Because I knew that I could no longer find the answer to my question in the Holy See. I needed to look elsewhere to find another path of faith that might lead to an understanding of the God of Light."

"It is precisely because of this that I was finally expelled from the Holy See and classified as an apostate. This is how I started my so-called 'escape'."

Arrow looked at Capone silently, with mixed feelings in his heart, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

However, Capone seemed very happy, and even continued to talk in a half-joking tone: "Actually, my 'escape' was not very difficult. My real estate and fields are all there, and the Holy See is not very difficult.

Work hard to defeat me. President Arrow, do you know why this is?"

Arrow lowered his head and thought about it, and soon understood the reason: "For the Holy See of Light, Mas Capone only needs the identity of a 'apostate'. Because he is an apostate.

, so all his words and deeds can be regarded as the crazy words of a traitor. Judging from what you just said, the Holy See should judge that you personally do not pose much of a physical threat to the Holy See. Your only threat is your

'Questioning Thoughts'. Therefore, as long as your 'questioning thoughts' are understood by ordinary people as if you are questioning the Holy See entirely because you have apostatized, it will be enough. In this case, no matter what your problem is,

It doesn't matter how sharp and impossible the Holy See of Light is unable to answer. Because if anyone believes that an apostate will question the Holy See, the harm your 'thoughts' can cause will become very insignificant.

Already."

Capone smiled and nodded, as if he admired Airl very much. At this moment, his eyes involuntarily turned behind Airl. This sudden change in his eyes also made Airl aware of what was happening behind him, but

To be fair, he still didn't turn his head.

The next moment, he felt something clearly being pulled off his waist, and then he looked back.

"Huh...huh...huh...I...the third round...I...won!"

Cream's body fell to the ground, with his right hand holding the money bag high in the air. His face, which was obviously out of breath, was full of fatigue, but it still could not hide his feeling of finally winning after trying his best.
