Chapter 114 Ankh’s Real Enemy
When the first ray of sunshine in the morning parted the clouds and looked down on the earth, the bell that heralded the beginning of the day rang from the tower, but it was different from the past when everyone started to be busy and everyone did what they should do. Today, most people in the city came to the square outside the church.
It was crowded and bustling.
Many people have only heard that the church will give everyone an explanation today, but no one knows exactly what it will be.
Many of them didn't want to come here to listen to the church's defense. Most of them didn't think that the church that was on the opposite side of them could stand on their side at this time.
Many people may have reviled Luther when he was still in Ankh, but compared to that kind of direct oppression, it is obvious that the church's methods are more subtle. Even if there were not more and more smart people during this period, and everyone began to realize that their lives were not getting better but getting worse, maybe the people in Anka would not be working with emotions like this every day.
"Tell me, what did that old man Calvin want to announce when he called us here today?"
"Who knows..." The person next to him frowned from beginning to end, because he was not tall, so even There was no way to see what was happening in the distance.
"I think they must say something nice to us, and then give us some benefits, otherwise they will definitely not be able to withstand such great pressure if this continues."
Although they were not the ones who overthrew Luther, the people of Anka always There is an illusion that since a more hateful aristocratic force can collapse overnight, then the church, which was in a state of decline before, also has such a possibility.
"Maybe, let me tell you a fun thing. Do you know how long it will take to buy my own house with our current salary level?
50 years! It actually takes 50 years to save enough money to buy my ideal house. That house in the house, are you crazy?"
"In that case, why don't you go back to your hometown? I remember that it would be difficult for your hometown to survive without it here, right?"
"That's not what they said..."
The man sighed, He spoke his true feelings, "Actually, don't you think there are no benefits in other aspects? No, at least in Anka you have the rights that a commoner should have. You don't need to lower your head when you see a noble.
Church . The people are quite kind, and they won’t use their status to pressure you. Bishop Calvin has done a good job in this area.
And besides the house, other consumption levels are actually not too outrageous. There are many People also hope to make some money here and then leave. Everyone originally chose to stay because of these reasons."
"Yes." Another person nodded in agreement, "You are actually okay, you took the money. We can still leave.
Many of us have actually been bound to Ankh for a long time. We have gone through so much that we can barely see any hope. We really don’t want our hope to be shattered like this.
Today the church dares to use such methods of oppression Us, what about tomorrow? No one knows what kind of monster they will become in the future.
And in your opinion, those people in the church are very easy-going, right? That’s because you don’t know the inside story, and you don’t know how many people have entered. They are arrogant when they come to the church, thinking that they are different from us and that they are not of the same class. These people even use their powers to rob men and dominate women. Do you think the church has taken control of it? They don’t know what they are doing during this time. What's more, Bishop Calvin doesn't see others all day long and doesn't care about the demands of us people at all."
While he said these words, his eyes were also looking at the clergy in white clothes in the distance. Not only him, but many other people are actually looking in that direction, because everyone hopes that their trip here today will not be in vain, and everyone hopes to see something that is beneficial to them.
Just when many people couldn't help but want to ask how long they had to wait, Calvin finally walked in front of the crowd from behind.
Behind him stood not only Mora, but also Rosette, who had changed her appearance.
"I'm sorry for taking up everyone's time. I know you have a lot of doubts. Maybe the thing you want to question the church most is why I didn't fulfill the promise I made a month ago."
Calvin is an idealist. He believes that all living beings are equal under God. , people can spontaneously respect a person because of his character, but they should never respect a bad person just because the other person is born nobler than themselves.
"I told you at that time that there will no longer be people like Luther here in Anka. You have been oppressed by such nobles for too long, so no one will oppress you in Anka in the future. The
church itself is an acceptance For believers, it should not violate the purpose of the God of Light to illuminate all things and bless all things. In my mind, Ankh should have a better future, and everyone should not be like now because of a little misunderstanding. There is a gap.
This is not good for us, right?"
Hearing his words, the people below frowned and questioned constantly. After all, in the eyes of many people, these words were too high-sounding and did not solve the actual problem. question.
In fact, this was indeed the case. During this time, Calvin had no idea that the expansion of the church had led to some internal rot.
This is his responsibility, and he has already cleaned up these moths in advance. But he knew that now everyone needed a common goal to fight against. Sirius, who used his own financial advantages to purchase a large number of real estate and became Anka's largest capital, was actually the most suitable example to use as an example.
Not to mention that in the current view of Calvin, Sirius may have colluded with other countries' forces, otherwise he would not understand why Sirius, who has been able to slowly encroach on Anka, would want to destroy them at this time.
But no matter what the reason behind it, this man's behavior of ignoring everyone's life and death and using Anka as a bargaining chip in his fight with Engli has completely made him unable to stand it.
"Everyone, be quiet. I know everyone is angry now, but I hope you understand that the church will always be on your side.
Also, I want to mention a name here, a name that many people may know, but You may be like me and have been deceived by this person until today. I want to tell you at this time that if we don't unite as one, the real disaster is coming." At
this point, Rosette finally came from behind. He walked up, took Calvin's words and said loudly to everyone below:
"Here, on behalf of an ordinary person living in Anka, I want to accuse a real enemy of Anka in front of all of you. ——Sirius!"
