Rachel stood up, looked at the rushing river in front of him, shook off the water stains on his hands, and said calmly: "Unfortunately, we can never step into the same river at different times."

　　 Looking at her back towards the temple, Sabrina's vision gradually lost focus, an expression of gain and loss appeared on her face, and her thoughts flew to the untouchable distance.

　　 In the strange eyes of the mother **** believer, Rachel walked through the corridor of the temple and stood at the door of Elder Eliad's room.

　　 She took a deep breath, settled, and stretched out her hand to knock on the door of the room.

　　 "Come in, the door is open."

　　 The old voice in the room caused Rachel to stagnate.

　　 Dropped his head, Rachel opened the door gently and said softly, "Sorry, I'm here."

　　 Iliad, wearing a gray robe, sits on his favorite root-carved wooden chair, and his white beard is about to fall to the ground.

　　 He put down the "Microbiology Compendium" in his hand and smiled at Rachel: "Compared with the past, you have to be more polite. I remember that when you were young, you kicked your feet when you entered the door."

　　Rachel laughed twice and looked at the booklet in the old man's hands: "Are you reading the book Terrence wrote?"

Iliad shook the booklet in his hand: "That old guy, the problem with writing the book hasn't changed at all. The principle can be clearly explained in two or three sentences. He has to write a large paragraph of evidence and analysis, see It's a headache."

　　 "Every lecture of Master Terrence at Muxi University is always overcrowded. Someone even wants to climb onto the beams of the house to listen to his lectures, holding the wooden rafters while taking notes."

　　Rachel's exaggerated expression and vivid movements made Iliad laugh.

"That old guy, his favorite things are writing books and lectures. The more people who hold him, the happier he will be, haha! Even if he is seriously ill, as long as someone invites him to give a lecture, he will definitely run better than a rabbit. It's fast!"

　　 The happy old man like a child in front of him made Rachel show a look of nostalgia.

　　 "You have been very close to Master Terrence a long time ago."

　　 Iliad smiled and shook his head and said, "No, no, no! It's not a good relationship, but in the Jade League, he is the one who likes to argue with me the most."

　　Rachel nodded: "I heard you talk about the Jade Alliance, four young scholars, traveling around seeking truth."

"Forty years ago, Theodore and I were still in charge of the Presbyterian Church. In order to study academics and to stay away from the internal turmoil at that time, the two of us found an excuse to travel together and travel the mainland. On the way, we met two more students from Tyrol Royal College-Aberle and Terrence."

　　 "After being together for a few days, the four of us found that we all have common pursuits and the same hobbies. So, four young people who don't know the heights of the sky, formed an unconventional club-Cuiyu Alliance."

"When I was young, I called that fellow Terrence Stone. He has a bad temper and can argue with you for a single word or sentence for a whole day. If you refuse to surrender, he even sleeps. , Will be nagging in your ears."

"Able is obviously the youngest of the four of us, but his calm character and thoughtful mind make him look like the oldest of us. Sometimes he doesn’t say anything a day. It will be more than three sentences; but sometimes, one sentence he occasionally says can make you think for three days."

"Also...Theodore, alas, that old bastard. When he was young, he was speechless, reckless and aggressive. He once fought a gang of hooligans for a stray warbler and almost lost his life. He still fights A crown prince was jealous, and actually ran to someone else’s bed in the middle of the night, peeing at the latter’s mouth... But when it comes to academic and truth studies, his enthusiasm is not lost to any of us... His death is a shame..."

　　 Seeing Iliad immersed in grief, Rachel did not speak, but waited quietly for the other person to recover.

When the old man’s mood stabilized a little bit, Rachel said: "When I was a kid, I heard you mention the Jade Alliance more than once. But, you might as well look at it. Among the four, only Tyronn He gained true academic freedom."

　　 Iliad glanced sharply at Rachel, waiting for the other party's next words.

Rachel bravely faced the other person’s gaze, and continued: “Aberle chose to join the church and is now under house arrest; although you are one of the three elders of the Presbyterian Church, the people around you only covet power and power. Sneered at academics; and Theodore..."

Iliad waved his hand and said: "What you want to say is that only Terrence has the most beautiful life in the original Jade Alliance, and all of this must be given by Twilight. So, you want to persuade me and Twilight. cooperate?"

　　Rachel looked at the book on the table and whispered: "Elder Iliad, this is not a question of whether it is beautiful or not, but what you value most. Only Muxicheng can help you complete it."

　　 Iliad frowned: "What do I value most?"

　　Richel took out a document from his arms and gently placed it on the table: "This is a king's order issued by the holy king of Muxicheng."

　　 Iliad picked up the document and read the heading of the document: "Trial measures and relevant regulations on the popularization of heterogeneous species?"

"I grew up under your protection, and I heard the most about how the alien race was discriminated against and persecuted in this world. Therefore, your greatest wish is to use what you have learned throughout your life to realize the freedom of aliens. And dignity." Rachel's eyes sparkled: "This document is the answer I found."

After reading the entire book of the King’s Order, Iliad kept his gaze on Todd’s autograph. After a long time, he suddenly raised his head and said to Rachel: “I once received a letter from Theodore. He praised Todd Fischer, and he also said that he planned to go back to the Presbyterian Church and talk to me in detail about his experience. However, he did not wait for him to return, and the messenger brought bad news."

"Theodore is a proud person, and it can even be said that he has a bit of arrogance. At the beginning, if it were not because of his personality, the elder of the Presbyterian Church had offended too many people, it would have been my turn to take the position. However, it is such a person who can actually spend most of the space in the letter to praise a person, which makes me very interested."

　　Rachel's eyes lit up, and he said hopefully: "So, would you like to...?"

"Wait a minute, don't worry, listen to me to finish." Iliad said in a deep voice: "The Holy King of Muxicheng may be an excellent person. Under his leadership, Muxicheng may become a different species of prosperity. A starting point for prosperity. But how long can this prosperity last?"

　　Richier was taken aback: "How long does it last?"

"I believe anyone with a discerning eye can see what happened in the situation in Twilight West. The southern empire will soon launch an offensive, and the churches in the east will also look at it. Twilight reusing alien species is not so much a decision, as it is a helpless choice. ."

"In the face of enemies with more sophisticated equipment and more numbers than you, alien species will become the best tool for warfare." Ilya German said earnestly: "However, after the war, how will alien species be treated? ?"

Rachel anxiously pointed to the king's order ~lightnovelpub.net~ and said to Iliad: "However, the king has signed the document himself, saying that it will encourage and increase the popularization of alien species; moreover, you must know that Twilight The Holy King of Xicheng, he himself is a different species..."

Iliad looked at the other person’s expression and sighed deeply: "Rachel, you got the point of the matter wrong. The reason why the alien species is oppressed is not because this race is different from normal people, but also because of the power of alien species. , Making those in power feel terrified."

"If only ordinary people are dissatisfied with those in power, the most is to use a drafting fork and sickle to set off a riot; but if the opponent is a different species, it is entirely possible that the in power loses his head while sleeping. So, Any person or organization that gains power, regardless of whether he is a heterogeneous or not, will inevitably suppress the heterogeneous group after determining that the political environment is stable, because the heterogeneous group will cause greater damage to those in power than normal people. Threat."

Seeing Rachel fell into deep thought, Iliad patted the document with his finger: "If, I guessed right, the universalization of alien species mentioned by the holy king will only open a limited number of abilities, and the power of alien species There will also be corresponding restrictions. This practice just shows his fear of alien species."

　　Rachel firmly shook his head: "Todd is not that kind of person."

　　 Iliad closed his eyes: "Maybe he is not, but what about his designated heir? Or, will the ruling class in the future allow the existence of a group of ethnic groups with powerful forces and capable of overthrowing themselves at any time?"

　　Richier pursed his lips and kept silent.
