But Meghan ignored him:

"Since then, young people have converted to Sunset, adopted it as the state religion, built temples, and broadcast their faith."

etc.

State religion?

Thales' expression changed, and he had to straighten up as he originally rested his elbows on the table.

Could it be that……

Sure enough, the next moment, Meghan looked at the Duke of Star Lake in front of her with a subtle expression, and said calmly:

"Thus, the great cause of Tormund I began."

"The Kingdom of Stars has prospered since then."

Megan's words fell.

The study was quiet for a few seconds.

Until Thales laughed awkwardly.

"This is a classic passage in the Sunset Teachings, recorded personally by Mohasa, the prophet and messenger of the goddess and the brother priest seven hundred years ago."

Meghan smiled slightly, half teasing and half reminding:

"You should know more about the stories of your ancestors."

"Tiles."

Thales lowered his head, cleared his throat, and pretended not to hear.

What kind of divine revelation, what kind of light, what kind of opening of heaven, what kind of oath...

This is actually the story of Tormund I encountering a miracle and vowing to found a country?

Isn’t that too ridiculous?

"About this story, there is debate even within the Sunset Church," Gilbert stared at the guest with a warning in his eyes: "Especially the key points of the oath."

"Megan Priest."

Meghan gave Gilbert a look in return, which seemed displeased and yet ridiculed.

"Our Earl is not satisfied with the story of educating believers in the Sunset Teaching Book," Megan looked at Thales gently:

"But it does not matter."

The next second, Meghan’s face became serious again:

“Because no matter how absurd it is, how unbearable it is that it cannot withstand in-depth inquiry...”

"Seven hundred years ago, this story spread and took root in everyone's hearts..."

Megan spoke calmly, and what she said made Thales frown:

"Tormund is no longer the remnant prince of that evil empire, no longer a foreign warrior who invades his homeland to eat and drink, no longer is he a lowly illegitimate bastard with doubtful blood, and is no longer a self-respecting and ambitious soldier.

The brutal warlord."

Hearing these adjectives, Thales was shocked.

This time, Gilbert was no longer polite. He shouted in a stern voice:

"Megan Sacrifice!"

But Meghan didn’t care, but her eyes were dark:

"In the eyes of all the believers, he is recognized by the unattainable gods, praised by the monks who are enthusiastic about helping others, enlightened by the setting sun, and grateful for the afterglow of the holy sun, so he vows to work hard to create a paradise on earth -

—”

"The King of Revival."

Thales looked stern.

Gilbert still pursed his lips, looking very angry.

"From then on, Tormund no longer needed to brutally execute every local who disobeyed his rule to scare the monkeys; he no longer needed to be vigilant about whether the well water brought from the village was poisoned to ensure safety; he

No more worrying about the next reliable place to stay or recruit troops to fight again.”

Thales's expression became more and more serious.

He understood the meaning behind the other person's words.

"Until he succeeds in his hegemony and the kingdom is settled..."

"The goddess of the setting sun became the patron saint of the Bright Star Royal Family, witnessing the coronation and death of every king in the future."

Meghan Priest said sternly:

"From that time on, the fate of the Sunset Temple and the Bright Star Royal Family have been entangled, making it difficult to separate."

Entangled with the fate of the Bright Star royal family...

Thales repeated these words silently, and suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Meghan paused for a moment and then spoke faster:

“Beginning in the first century of the End Calendar, ‘King of Peace’ Kessel I overhauled the temple, welcomed believers, and was praised by all people.”

"Tormund 'Blade' II appointed Bishop Longdong as Prime Minister, followed the destiny, spread faith, and enjoyed the success of opening up the territory."

"The 'Benevolent King' Sumei I was devout in his faith and practiced it personally. In the end, he was moved by the goddess and received the miracle of rain, which relieved the suffering of years of severe drought."

"Horace I of the Six Fingers swore an oath under the statue of the setting sun, received divine blessing, and united as one to resist the heresy from across the ocean."

“The ‘Jackal’ Su Mei III made a clear statement, re-proclaimed the national religion, and then affirmed the faith.”

"The 'Wise Lord' Mindis III promoted theology, printed classics, and taught monks widely..."

Every time Megan mentioned an example, Thales' mind would jump, forcing him to go back and look for knowledge that matched this in his history class.

But at the same time, he couldn't help but notice that as the priest spoke, Gilbert's brows gradually tightened and his coughing worsened.

"For the sake of the kingdom, Thales, if you are united in heart, it is even more difficult to unite in strength - let me ask you, if it is not consistent with what your people believe in, fear and care about, it is incompatible with their world.

"

"Then how will you rule the kingdom on the throne in the future?"

The other party's words made Thales' complexion gradually darken.

He suddenly realized that the theology the other party was talking about was far from the same kind of theology he understood.

"And the fact behind these stories is that we have always lived in a world with gods, whether you admit its miracles or understand its power."

"They may seem out of reach, but they are never far away from our world and deeply affect our lives..."

Meghan lowered her face:

"In a way that is sometimes mysterious and sometimes obvious, and seems to have traces but cannot be inferred."

Priest Megan tidied up his robe and said softly:

"One word is worth a million soldiers."

"This is the power of faith."

Thales remained silent for a long time.

But after a few seconds, Meghan's tone became brisk again.

"Therefore, my responsibility in this class, Thales," regardless of Gilbert's frowning expression on the side, Priest Megan smiled and said:

“I’m not trying to encourage you to believe in anything, not telling you where the true God is, and not even teaching you to memorize scriptures and regulations, but in the process of discussing this issue with you, I’m helping you discover your relationship with God and understand your relationship with God.

distance."

Megan stared at him straight:

"Helps you know yourself better."

"Whether you are a mortal now or you rule a kingdom in the future."

Thales frowned slightly.

Know yourself?

What the other party said at this moment reminded him of the indescribable and extremely mysterious powerful magician in 'Critical'.

From the view of gods to self-understanding...

Is it a coincidence?

"Because what we are going to explore today is not just about God," Megan said with a smile:

"It is also a science about people."

Thales's heart moved.

"So, theology," he asked with interest:
To be continued...
