Yiwen Ian put his ten fingers together, folded them, supported them on the table, and then leaned over and leaned his head on it.
If he had another pair of glasses on his face at this time, it would be perfect.
"Then is the secret of the church?" After thinking for a while, he asked Kate again.
"No...this is not." Kate hesitated, "In the past thousand years, except for taboo experiments, no real demon incident has occurred, so knowledge related to demons is almost ignored. It is just that based on habits, the relevant content of demonology has been retained in the temple..."
Kate knew very well that what Yiwen Ian wanted was nothing but the knowledge of demonic science, and the other things that came with had no effect on him, so she answered very easily - to be honest, if it weren't for the position of being enemies, she wouldn't have hated the heir of the Duke of Nanling.
"Then you are not going to tell me because I am heretic?" Yiwen Ian straightened up, changed his posture, crossed his legs and leaned on the back of the chair, his expression faintly. He knew that there was a small fish that was about to take the bait.
However, Kate's answer stunned him.
"No." The chrome-haired girl shook her head gently, and the bright silver ponytail swung gently with her movements, "It's not for this reason."
Yiwen Ian was a little surprised: "So why?"
Kate gently bit her lower lip, and under the guidance of Ewen Ian's words, she suddenly realized her mistake-
She was actually willful. As a paladin who had dedicated everything to God, she actually violated God's teachings and refused his request for no reason just because she was dissatisfied with the young man.
So what next? What should I do? Honestly admit my mistakes? Just like when she was in the church?
No.
For some reason, she just didn't want to admit her mistake in front of this person. Even if she could be sincere to anyone, she looked at the faint smile on the boy's face in front of her, but she didn't want to bow her head in front of this person.
But because he was not used to lying, Kate hesitated for a long time, and finally responded to Yiwen's questioning in silence.
Seeing that Kate did not answer, Yiwen Ian did not think of the reasons during the intensive study period. His thinking turned to other directions: "So, you are unwilling to tell me about the demons without any reason?"
Kate continued to remain silent, unlike the previous church's instructions, which was her own idea.
"Miss Paladin, what do you think is justice?" Yiwen Ian gradually put away his smile and looked stern.
"I don't know." Kate replied very simply, "I used to think that following the Pope's crown and the priests can perform justice and eliminate evil and promote good, but the conflicts in the church today are so confusing."
"Contradiction?" Yiwen Ian frowned, "What's the point of conflict?"
Kate looked at Yiwen Ian with a dignified look. If she had been put a month ago, she might not have the courage to argue, but perhaps what she was about to say would be childish and foolish. But at least this was the idea she had come up with her own thoughts. No matter who she said it to, she could face the eyes of the parties with confidence: "The Church called the Holy See to attack the Duke of Nanling Palace, but after we failed, we chose to compromise with you and exchange hostages--there is no need to negotiate with heresy, and there is no room for compromise. All enemies we see will be killed. This is the education we receive in the study of the Great Hall."
Yiwen Ian was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing: "What's this? Just the state officials set fire and the people are not allowed to light the lights? Have you forgotten that you led the judge to surrender to me before?"
"That's just a strategy!" Kate's face turned red, but he felt guilty inside. What she said was not a lie, but it was not a truth. "We have learned the tactics of preserving ourselves in tactical classes!"
"Hmph haha..." Yiwen Ian wanted to hold back his laughter, but the laughter couldn't help but surged out of his nasal cavity. However, after calming down, he was considering his next plan. That's right, now it seems that Kate was really shaken because he was unintentionally inserted his words before. However, this shake is not stable because he knew very well that the church is planning to continue to cause trouble for him. In this case, Kate would not be sure to re-stand firmly when the church hits again.
However, since she already understood what the girl was thinking, Yiwen Ian did not intend to give the church a chance to repair it. He planned to continue pushing Kate and let the lonely boat of her mind float further away on the ocean of pursuing the answer alone.
All judgments were completed in an instant, and Ian looked up again, and Yiwen had already changed into another look.
It was an anger mixed with seriousness and blame: "I tell you to learn to think and question, but it is not something that makes you violate the orders of the upper class like this."
Without waiting for Kate to answer, Yiwen Ian continued, "You are not the decision-making level of the church. Do you know what my opponent, the old guys in the Pope Hall, are thinking? Maybe they are just like you, just slandering me, but actually making plans to counterattack. When I am not prepared, give me some more?!"
Although Kate was ready to be counterattacked, he didn't expect that Yiwen Ian's counterattack would be so fast and hit the nail on the head.
Her tone seemed a little weak in an instant, but because the process was thought by herself, she quickly thought about how to refute: "But what the Pope told us was to 'kill everything we see!', but how did they do it themselves?! Can it be so smooth just because it is the decision-making level?! If you didn't tell me to think by myself, we might have died now because of one of their orders!"
"You will only die. If you can kill me, it means you can die without regrets." Yiwen Ian complained easily, and then continued to say in an extremely stimulating and sarcastic tone: "I can understand the reason I told you, because they are decision makers, and you are just executors. Every thought and every command must be realized by you executors. In order to ensure that their ideas are necessary, every command of them must be completed with a focus and no doubt, so they educate you in this way."
"...Why are you like this..." Kate's breathing stopped abruptly, and after a long time, she moaned and reacted, "So am I wrong...I have to think about the meaning of the task, am I wrong... But let yourself think about it... Didn't you tell me?"
"But I am your enemy." Yiwen Ian revealed the truth without mercy. "Yes, I don't think I am a sinner, nor do I think I came to the world with sin in nature, but this does not change the Pope's recognition of me as an enemy of the church, so it is normal for me to shake the executive level of the church."
"..." Kate pinched her forehead. At this moment, she felt a mess in her brain. She didn't feel as broken as when her initial belief almost collapsed. However, the feeling of thinking was in a mess really made her feel uncomfortable. "You... because you are my enemy, you deliberately mean to shake me and confuse me... The wrong person... is me... I... I..."
Just as Kate couldn't help but slip into the abyss that could not be turned back, a cold word turned into a pale palm and tightly clamped her slender neck, pulled her out of the abyss, and threw it to the ground with a "splash".
"Don't make a mistake. I didn't say what I told you was fake. If you thought you were wrong, it means that you just changed from relying on the teachings of the church to relying on my words. In essence, you are still relying on what others told you."
When Kate came to his senses, she was already leaning against the table, but her face was a little pale, but she couldn't help looking at Yiwen Ian: "You...what did you say?"
But Yiwen Ian stood up without any warning and looked out from the window behind the chair.
"Yes, if there is no pavilion, it will collapse, and if there is no foundation, it will collapse. So no matter who starts from scratch, from a child, you must first learn a set of 'correct' cognitive concepts from family, teachers, and from books. People are rich, poor, and therefore, different living environments will have great differences. Therefore, for various reasons, whether this set of 'correct' values is correct and whether it is suitable for you must think, confirm and clarify by the people themselves."
In Kate's eyes, Yiwen Ian leaned against the window ridge, looking out the window, and then the voice echoed quietly in the room, gradually soothing her somewhat confused and confused heart.
"That's right, as an executor, soldiers need to go to the command of the chief, officials must complete the emperor's tasks, and even farmers must work according to the orders of the farmer to make the rice fields mature. But none of this is the reason why the chief restricts the thoughts of subordinates and makes them puppets who cannot think."
"So I can understand the old antiques in the Pope Hall, but I don't agree with it."
"But you said again... as an executive... as a subordinate, you need to obey the orders of the decision-making level... Isn't this a contradiction again?!" Kate's tone was still a little weak, but at least it was not as trembling as before.
"I ask you, what is your most essential idea? Obey orders? Uphold justice? Or do you want to gain power and money?" Yiwen Ian turned his head and looked at Kate with a stern look, but no one noticed that the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. This arc will only be revealed when he is about to cheat someone and is in a good mood.
"..." Kate took a deep breath. What exactly did she want? What was the most essential component of this person's personality? Her life, the education she received, and even her origin, what was she really longing for? Have she ever thought about it? Have she thought about it seriously? What she really needed...
Sure enough, still-
"Help the weak and uphold justice." Kate put his right hand on his heart. This was just a subconscious action, but excessive thinking and excitement made her feel clearly that her heart was beating very quickly and quickly.
"I am an orphan. If the church had not helped me, I would have died long ago. So after I entered the church, I have been working hard to repay the priest, to save more weak people like me, and to make them feel exactly the same as the happiness I felt that day when I was saved!"
"...Isn't this a clear answer?" Yiwen Ian couldn't help laughing again, but unlike the initial ridicule, this time his laughter was mixed with the original happiness, "Since that's the case, then remember my words-"
"Don't be confused, never be confused. Recognize your own thoughts, never be confused, and don't let go of your guard for a while, because there are so many confusing words in this world, temptations are so heavy, setbacks and blows are so frequent and painful. As long as you slacken a little, you will stay away from it!"
Yiwen Ian's voice became louder and louder in Kate's ears: "But you are confused, your enemies will not! Your enemies are the same as you, maybe the reasons are different from yours, but they also have the idea that they want to realize the most. It may be a private self or other ideas that are different from you. When they appear in front of you like me, you are confused, then they are not confused, so who do you think the person who wins the final victory will be?"
Although Yiwen Ian's voice was not loud, Kate's ears were deafening: "Since I think I am right, I'll give me the last one. Don't give up because of these messy reasons!"
"Justice cannot help but give up, even if it is any reason, even if it is self-practice, endure blows, temporary humiliation and conspiracy, as long as you can remember the deepest belief in your heart, it can save you when you slide into the abyss!"
"Belief cannot be desecrated. No matter who is blocking you, I will move my steps, wave my sword, and crush it hard at 70 yards per hour! Do you understand?!"
Looking at Yiwen Ian staring at her, taking the terrifying dominance momentum, she subconsciously nodded.
"That's good." Yiwen Ian nodded.
"But what if the orders of the Pope Hall conflict with my justice?" After hesitating, Kate couldn't help but ask Xiang Yiwen again.
"..." Yiwen Ian looked at her silently, then knocked her head with a little regret, "Stupid! Then crush it!"
"As long as the belief is contrary, then both me and the church are just your enemies!"
"Your essence is not a church paladin!"
“But…”
Yiwen Ian was stunned when he said this, and he looked at Kate—
"What's your name? I haven't seemed to ask." (To be continued.)
