Chapter 141: The Quest for Salvation, Part

"Sherlock Moriarty..."

Leonard lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, and then looked at the stigmata on his hand.

Wisdom told him the answer to his question.

"So, in the first Antigonus Family Notes, you were already dead, correct?"

"Yes." Zhou Mingrui waved his hand.

Sherlock Moriarty, this is the name he gave himself, the name that truly belongs to Zhou Mingrui.

Klein Moretti died in the first Antigonus family notebook.

Leonard was silent for a moment, then looked up at Zhou Mingrui with a look that contained three parts of doubt, three parts of confusion, and ninety-four parts of curiosity.

"Who are you anyway?"

It's not just Leonard, the same goes for old man Pales.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Mingrui said calmly, "An ordinary person."

Can an ordinary person kill Ince Zangwill?
——This is Leonard’s complaint.

Can an ordinary person do this from Amon?
——This is the old man’s suspicion.

"Okay, let's just assume you're an ordinary person for now. Mr. Sherlock Moriarty, Amon said you wanted to discuss something with me. What is it?"

Seeing Leonard get straight to the point, Zhou Mingrui calmly described his situation.

"...This is how it is. I will explore the Star God on behalf of my Lord and confer the title of God on behalf of Heaven."

Leonard, with a look of shock and confusion on his face, reached out and slapped himself in the face to wake himself up from his surprise.

What does it mean to be a deity on behalf of the heavens?

Are you really an ordinary person? Is there a generation gap between your cognition and mine?
Is this the sign of ordinary people these days?

Could it be that the definition of ordinary people has expanded to this extent... Leonard fell into deep thought.

The old man did speak, and he said in a serious tone: "Leonard, he is very, very dangerous."

"I understand." After completing the communication with the old man in his heart, Leonard continued to ask questions while multitasking.

"Mr. Sherlock, you came to me and wanted me to participate?"

"Ah."

Zhou Mingrui nodded seriously, and at the same time he raised his hand and gently tapped the air in front of him.

The next moment, a scene of Leonard and Lanevus fighting appeared in front of the two people and one soul.

………………

"What are you going to do? Kill me? Save Tingen City?

Stop kidding, you can’t save this city! This is how the world is!”

………………

“I did defraud those people, I am a bad person who does all kinds of evil and has no bottom line, I am an evil cultist, but is all this my fault?
Why can't you forgive me!

I can help your Church of the Night deal with the slums and alleviate the wave of unemployment caused by mechanical changes. Why can't you give me a chance? "

………………

"I will take care of everything. No bastard will be left behind who deserves to go to hell!"

In the picture, Leonard straightened his chest and faced the malicious side of Tingen City. He held the weapon in his hand and aimed it at the evil of human nature, launching a powerful attack.

After the video was over, Zhou Mingrui looked at Leonard, whose face had turned red, and said calmly, "I believe you will embark on this fate."

"What is the destiny of pioneering?" Leonard's face looked normal, except for a little embarrassment left on his face, he was the same as usual.

"Explore the unknown, bring about changes, guide ordinary people to innovate, and live a better life..."

It seems to be a good fate, Leonard thought in his heart.

But at this moment, the old man spoke, and he said something very realistic. "Changes will bring battles, and innovations will lead to bloodshed and death..."

Zhou Mingrui nodded.

Everything has its pros and cons. Even a perfect and absolutely beautiful idea will change and have flaws over time.

Perhaps this destiny will be very outstanding and bring a good life to ordinary people at certain times, but what if the one who embarks on the road of destiny is not a hero, but a dragon?
The human heart is unpredictable; black and white may be diametrically opposed contradictions in the eyes of different people.

Zhou Mingrui already has the answer to this question.

"To men belong the people, and to gods belong the gods."

"My Lord believes that ordinary people can create a better tomorrow with their own hands."

"I'm joining in." Leonard stood up and stretched out his left hand.

Zhou Mingrui reached out and held it.

The two smiled at each other, understanding each other's tacit understanding.

"Now, we are companions."

"Yes, we are companions."

Leonard sat down again, rubbing his forehead with his hand, and spoke in a very troubled tone.

"Sherlock, regarding Tingen City, the current situation is very troublesome."

"What are your findings?"

After letting out a sigh, Leonard talked about the current changes in Tingen City.

Like Europe during the First Industrial Revolution, steam machines have now replaced manpower on a large scale in Tingen. In the next few weeks, there will be a large number of unemployed workers in Tingen.

It's not just Tingen City, the same is true for other cities as well.

Influenced by the Society of Knowledge, factory owners of the capital interest class replaced industry with better machine production to replace human resources, resulting in a large number of unemployed and laid-off workers...

The numbers were shocking. When Leonard saw the numbers he had investigated, he even thought about violently destroying the machines to suppress the change.

But after the detailed explanation from old man Pales, Leonard understood that the key to the problem lies in the contradictions that have accumulated from the past to the present!
The Kingdom of Loen, the Northern Continent, and this world have been accumulating conflicts for thousands of years.

It may have started out as a simple conflict between countries or sects, but now it has become a fight for position between all parties, countless different groups and factions.

"The working class and the capitalist class, the laborers and the factory owners, the old land aristocracy and the new generation, the discrimination between different races, the revolutionary uprising caused by the colonization between the north and south continents, the doctrinal conflicts between churches, the interests of the extraordinary people and the ordinary people..."

There are so many, even a small city like Tingen has everything.

Tingen City is a microcosm of this world and this era!
"Leonard, what do you think is the solution?" Zhou Mingrui suppressed the heaviness in his heart and asked for his opinion.

Leonard thought about it, describing the route he had conceived in his mind.

"The most important thing is to maintain the order of the Kingdom of Loen. As long as the laws of this country still exist, there will be no social collapse..."

"Then we will reform the laws and policies of Tingen City. We will first solve the living problems of the unemployed and laid-off workers in areas such as Iron Cross Street and Lower Street and provide them with jobs..."

“It may not be very stable, but at least it should satisfy their daily life.”

Being alive is the key, if you die you will have nothing.

"The next step is to dismantle those large chambers of commerce, such as the Tingen City Commercial Union, and control the production of basic daily necessities..."

"Then we will collect extraordinary powers, summarize the statistics of extraordinary people, and gradually release the relevant mystical knowledge of the extraordinary world to expand school education..."

As Leonard described, Zhou Mingrui also saw that he was really thinking about how to save the city.

Leonard was indeed just like when he met Lanevus, a young man full of vigor and determination to change the world.

"Sherlock, what do you think we should do?"

After listening to Leonard's question, Zhou Mingrui thought for a moment and then expressed his thoughts.

"I think what we need to save Tingen City is..."
