Chapter VII Rejection of Tragedy
With the familiar girl pendant on his head, Shuer glared at the two children who were laughing fiercely, and his threatening gaze made the two... laugh even happier. Everyone knows that Archbishop Lisa is the biggest nemesis of the vicious priest. As long as the archbishop sister is present, the priest will not be fierce at all, and at most it is just a gesture.
"Hmph." Seeing that the intimidation failed, Shuer snorted heavily and walked towards the Holy Hall with Lisa. Lisa lay comfortably on Shuer's back, skillfully pulling his brother's hair. Well, it's very harmonious and not pitiful at all.
"Do you know everything?" When the back was out of sight of the two children, Shuer shook his head and rescued the ravaged hair from the terrifying Lord Lisa.
"Ah?" Lisa looked surprised, her expression was quite realistic, "What did you know? What are your brother talking about?"
"Tsk, if you really don't know anything, what you should do now is not to pull my hair, but to bite my head and ask me who Delia is." Sultotto Tolisa's legs, making her sit behind her back more steadily and pull her hair more conveniently. "Now you are trying to avoid talking about Delia, which means you know everything, just pretending not to know. I didn't need this kind of trick when I was seven years old. If you want to hide it from me, you have to study it again."
"Hmph, bastard brother, you dare to say it!" So, a familiar head-biting attack came from the top of his head. Shuer suddenly felt a little regretful. Why did he remind Lisa to bite her? After biting for a long time, the girl lay on Shuer's back satisfied and said softly, "Since it's for me, my brother wants me not to know, then I will pretend that I don't know. When will my brother think I should know, I will naturally tell me on his own initiative. Humph, who would have thought that the bastard brother would see through it as soon as he came back. It's so annoying. I bite me."
"Hey, hey, calm down." She escaped the girl's biting with laughter and cry. Shure suddenly sighed softly, "So, isn't your idea to let Talinna and those two children come here to serve?"
"Huh?" Lisa was really stunned this time. She didn't find out the logical relationship between these two problems at all. The girl thought for a long time but had no result. She simply stopped thinking about it and replied directly, "Not counted, right? A few days ago, I chatted with Tallinna and Meria, and talked about the future of the church. The construction of the worship hall in the Rose Capital was very good, and the worship hall in McCar Forest had been built early. Although no one had entered it,
It was put into use, so everyone was very happy. Later, Aunt Meria said that before the worship hall in the Rose Capital is opened to believers again, it is best to clean up the Holy Hall of the Temple of the Goddess and put it into use first to show respect to the Goddess, showing that this place is more important in the hearts of believers than other worship halls. I think this idea makes sense, so I agreed to Aunt Meria's request, what's wrong, brother, are there any problems?"
Of course, no problem. Most re-emerging churches will do this, which is a basic process. Meria and Tallinna are quasi-priests who have spent half their lives in the Dark Moon Temple. Although they have never become pastors, their experience and knowledge are still very rich. You can think of some details that were occasionally ignored by Sullisa and the others.
Therefore, this behavior itself is not a problem. The one with the problem is actually Shuer, because in Shuer's view, this move does not help the current most urgent needs of the Darkmoon Church.
"This is not suitable." Shuer shook his head, put Lisa back on the ground, held her hand against the wall, and whispered, "What the church really needs is the future, but their suggestions are essentially to sacrifice the future and whitewash the present, which is exactly contrary to our goal."
Lisa tilted her head, her thin eyebrows frowned together, obviously trying to think about her brother's words.
"As the current situation continues, even if we no longer gain anything, the church will have a period of revival. In the first few decades of the revival, we need a large number of excellent pastors to fill the gaps, the more the better, to make up for the shortcomings of the previous hundreds of years." Shuer half-squatted down, looked straight into Lisa's eyes, and explained seriously, "Excellent pastors need good education, rich knowledge, full understanding of doctrine, and loyalty to faith. These cannot come out of thin air. A person needs long-term education to accumulate to have these qualities."
"So I support Saf to use the temple space to open a school in order to cultivate talents in this area. And I have also specifically instructed that the six children in the temple must receive the best education, so that they can grow into talents who can face difficulties independently as soon as possible."
"However, the arrangement of Tallinna and Meria this time is equivalent to sacrificing the future of Eddie and Susan. They have lost the opportunity to receive excellent education. Even if they have removed the work of the temple early and enriched their personal experience, at most, it will be like them in the future. Well, unless they have put in several times the energy to make up for the time they have lost now."
Lisa blinked and nodded thoughtfully. After all, the girl had experienced too little things, and it was difficult to completely accept Shure's idea. However, this did not hinder her trust in her brother. Therefore, after thinking for a while, the girl said affirmatively: "I understand, then I will talk to Aunt Tallinna later and let the children go back."
"No, absolutely not." Shure suddenly increased the volume, which scared Lisa. The girl looked at him with a strange look, not understanding why he suddenly reacted so violently.
There was no way, and Shure could not have reacted too much, because Lisa's answer satisfied him, but just as he wanted to smile and nodded in recognition, scene after scene passed, and suddenly flashed in front of his eyes.
The same was true back then. Shuer recalled in a daze that the man obeyed his own words like Lisa. Even if he occasionally had some thoughts that seemed unrealistic and loopholes, he would give up quickly under his persuasion. Everything was so harmonious that he ignored the loss and unwillingness in the eyes of the person when he rejected those ideas. Then what? After repeated many times, what followed was concealment, dispute, confrontation, and suspicion. As the situation gradually deteriorated, the chain of trust gradually collapsed, until in the end, the two who were once close broke completely and everything was out of control.
No, no, things shouldn't be like this. I have made an oath to never make the same mistakes again and not allow the tragedy to happen again. Since this is the case, why do you have to go on the past? It's absolutely not possible.
"Brother, brother." After coming back from his trance, Lisa was pulling the corner of his clothes and looking at him with worried eyes, "Are you okay? Why did you suddenly become stunned? By the way, Goddess... Goddess said that you consume a lot this time and need to rest for a while. This is not the reason, otherwise you can rest first, I will let them go back first, and we will discuss it when you recover."
"Ha, it's okay, it has nothing to do with my consumption." No, since I already know the problem, how could I let the tragedy happen again? I am Shur, who even the gods have to pay attention to, how could I do such a stupid thing? Shur once again showed Lisa's familiar smile and touched the girl's head and said, "I just told you just now that the reasons why I made those arrangements for a few children in the past, but what you said just made sense. I did ignore some problems. Fortunately, you reminded me, otherwise I might make a joke."
"Is that true?" Lisa's eyes lit up. It was obvious that the girl was still looking forward to her judgment that she could be recognized by Shuer and that she could help her brother. "Does her brother think it really make sense?"
"Well, think about it carefully. When the first week hall is open to believers again, most churches that have been in contact and are not hostile will congratulate Goddess and our church. Those who are closer will also send symbolic gifts."
"Gift?" The girl's eyes became brighter. Fortunately, Talinna was not around, otherwise she might have glared at Shul again. How could she become an archbishop who was particularly excited when she heard the word "gift"?
"Ahem, this is not the point." Shur himself felt that he was guilty, but he decided not to change it, so he just coughed a few times and pulled the point back. "This level of celebration is not worth rushing from all over the world to the Rose Capital like the Water Curtain Festival. Moreover, the status of our church is not important to this level now. Therefore, those friendly churches will inevitably choose this place as a visiting place, which will not be rude and will not be free from the time spent running around. I guess you agreed to Meria's proposal because of this."
"Well, I just thought of this possibility, but I'm not sure." Lisa was very honest and did not exaggerate her vision. "At that time, I felt that even if it was just a possibility, in order not to embarrass the goddess, I had to pay enough attention, so I adjusted my brother's arrangements. But if you think about it carefully, brother, what you think of is indeed more important. It is indeed not worth sacrificing the future for the sake of the present."
"Ha, that's right, we all make sense of your thoughts and my considerations." Shure smiled, and Lisa felt in a daze that her brother's smile seemed to have put down some heavy psychological burden. "Since that's the case, why can't we win a little?"
"Ah? The compromise?" Lisa was stunned, "Then what should I do?"
