Chapter 142: The Quest for Salvation, Part

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

Zhou Mingrui already had the answer to this question in his heart.

History will tell us that the so-called answers to everything have actually been explored by someone long ago.

The War of the Gods, two religions and three merchants.

The question has been raised: how can we, in this world of the first industrial revolution of potion steam, complete an exam that will defeat the old era and give the gods the answer?

The answer...is history.

“I think the most important thing is to enlighten the people.”

"Enlighten the people?" Leonard found it difficult to understand these words.

He could understand them separately, but when they were put together, he had no idea what they meant.

Old man, do you know?
"How should I know?" In Leonard's mind, Pales complained: "In this day and age, you might as well ask about the stigmata on the back of your hand."

The stigma once again told Leonard the answer.

“Isn’t that a bit too radical?”

Leonard pinched his fingers and couldn't help but say: "The ideas and concepts of propaganda will lead to too many variables. What if something unexpected happens?"

"Leonard, we are not promoting any ideas or concepts." Zhou Mingrui looked at him with eyes as bright as light.

"I just tell them about their experiences and the truth about the world."

"Words, pictures, records, history, answers, I leave it to them to choose."

Zhou Mingrui described in detail his approach to enlightening the people.

A stably functioning society, or an order structure born out of intelligent creatures, is extremely complex and cumbersome.

Just like the city of Tingen now, many workers are not unaware that they are being exploited and oppressed by the factories, but their education level and the pressure of life tell them that all this is reasonable and legal.

This is history, and it has been like this since ancient times.

This is the life of an ordinary person...

When you are born, the goddess of luck rolls a dice at random. If you are lucky, you can go to school. If you are unlucky, you can learn a craft and then work in a shady factory. After that... that's it.

Yes, what they learned in life, the schools in Tingen City would not teach them how to rob and defraud money from banks and other people through reasonable and legal means...

Nor will they tell them that there are actually many choices in life. There is more than one path in life. You just need to bear the corresponding burdens and responsibilities, and then changing a path is also feasible...

There are many things they have never seen.

The characteristics of the countries in the northern continent, the coastal customs, Arctic fishing, church scriptures, and activities... these have nothing to do with them.

"Establish a newspaper to spread our ideas and tell the citizens of Tingen what we should do, what we can do, and what we are capable of doing..."

Having said that, Zhou Mingrui coughed lightly and then looked at Leonard.

Leonard nodded, and the stigma told him the future consequences of this matter.

“It’s a liberation of thought.”

"Yes, liberate people's minds and tell them what the world looks like. Tingen City is an iron house, and the people inside are sleeping. We have to wake them up."

At this time, Pales suddenly interrupted and asked, "And then?"

"Then there is the Kingdom of Loen, the Northern Continent, and finally everything in this world."

Crushing with force and violent destruction is a dead end.

The ancient sun god proved a formula with practical actions: what is built solely by relying on force can only be an immortal kingdom ruled by gods, and not that red superpower.

Through the historical data about the Second Era left by Adam in the List of Gods, Zhou Mingrui knew very well that simply relying on himself, or rather, destroying everything by force as the incarnation of Sefirah Castle, would only bring him closer to the Lord of Mysteries.

Relying on extraordinary power and using the means of mechanical deification, the so-called extraordinary people will be like ants trying to stop a chariot with their arms. You can easily do everything, but this is exactly what the secret and God expect. Everyone believes that you are the immortal true god from the bottom of their hearts. Countless people believe in you, sing your magnificent gods, and praise your honorable name. Faith will inevitably shape you into a qualified embryo, an embryo suitable for the resurrection of the old days like God and Tianzun.

"Liberate your minds, ordinary people should unite and fight against this old era..."

"Pa~" the sound of hands clapping.

The three of them looked towards the source of the sound and saw Medea standing outside the door.

"Long time no see, you two."

"Long time no see." Zhou Mingrui waved and greeted Medea.

Sitting down on the chair, Mitia leaned back and looked at Zhou Mingrui with admiring eyes.

"Regarding the Conferred God War, I will help you."

"What does He mean?"

Zhou Mingrui said something that made Leonard confused.

Medea nodded and explained.

"My Lord approves of you, so I will help you."

The help of the final star god...

Zhou Mingrui thought for a moment and understood the connection.

Whether defeating the old era by himself or fighting with the old era, it is an acceptable choice for the End Star God.

So, He helped me because we were from the same hometown?
Guessing secretly in his heart, Zhou Mingrui coughed lightly and described the things he had said before again...

After listening to his content, Medea did not offer any personal opinions, but asked another question.

"What if... the result is a fight to the end?"

If the capitalist factory owners in Tingen united together and chose to kill for their own benefit, that is, to suppress with multi-level forces, then what would happen to these people?

"Then, fight back." Zhou Mingrui's eyes were firm.

He is not afraid of fighting. If these people are fighting for their own future and feel that they are fighting for their own hope for the future, then Zhou Mingrui will join them.

Even though the order there was not an ideal country of absolute human kindness, life in the Zhou Dynasty led by Zhou Mingrui was destined to be better than the old era of the Shang Dynasty.

"Pa." Medea clapped her hands.

She smiled and said, "My Lord has given the corresponding revelation. Amon has already ended."

"By the way, Amon has also arranged for the two of you regarding your identities."

"Our identities?" Zhou Mingrui looked puzzled.

Do they have different identities?

"Yes, Amon was on both sides, so she gave you some help from her own side."

After saying that, Medea reached out and handed over a roll of parchment.

There was a line of Rune language written on it.

"Mr. Sherlock Moriarty will become the new mayor of Tingen City."

Zhou Mingrui looked at the key words on the parchment and a question mark appeared on his forehead.

Is this Amon's support?
Why does it feel like trouble?

For some reason, Zhou Mingrui seemed to see Amon sitting in front of him with a smile. There was a chessboard between the two of them, with corresponding black and white chess pieces placed next to each of them. He stretched out his hand and made an invitation gesture to him.

On the other hand, compared to Zhou Mingrui's identity as the mayor, Leonard's "identity" is much more normal. He is a hired lawyer who graduated from law school and is here to assist Zhou Mingrui in his actions...
