"… Are weapons moral or not?!"
About a week had passed since the caravan raid. In this week, the number of people in the camp had reached more than five thousand, and the number was still increasing. With so many people gathered, many people had proposed to establish a simple voting mechanism, which was to establish a small council. Of course, before this council was established, the entire camp was still managed by the original management.
As the greatest contributor to the perfect completion of the Great Plundering Operation, Chu Hao's position in the camp had risen. In addition to his rich management experience, as well as his kindness and maturity in dealing with matters, the calls for him to become the chairman of the camp's council had been getting louder and louder. At the same time, the weight of his words in the management was getting heavier and heavier. Moreover, it was a voice that made people believe in him.
"I don't know if you often go to the base level to ask what you lack, carefully check the loopholes in our defense, the terrain of this valley, the planting of crops, the collection of various equipment, etc. I don't know if you do this, but I do. I run around every day. At the same time, I also heard a voice from many people … They actually think that Mr. Ares' summoning of the skeleton is a kind of evil witchcraft. They want Mr. Ares to repent after the church is built!"
Chu Hao was currently in the management meeting. He said bitterly, "I still have the same question. May I ask, are weapons moral? The last raid stored enough supplies for ten thousand people to eat for more than a year. Our caravan took three days and three nights to transport all the supplies. Until now, our houses have been built. Although it is still very simple, it is still better than living in tents. We are no longer short of food. We can start cutting down the trees that block the road, we can start drinking the spring water from the mountain, and we can even start planting crops. If Mr. Ares didn't summon his weapon, that huge skeleton, I really don't know how many people would have died in this operation. No, we wouldn't have succeeded! "
"But now? There are actually people who think that Mr. Ares is immoral, impure, and needs to repent in the church. I am very curious. If this were the Middle Ages, even if Mr. Ares saved us, and he is a good person, would everyone tie him to the stake and say that he blasphemed against God? Perhaps I would be added to this list? Just like Galileo, right? Please don't lower your head. I am talking about you guys, Mr. Mike. You guys are staunch Catholicism followers. "
The people who were named were very embarrassed. The man named Mike was a middle-aged man in his fifties. He coughed and said with a little lack of confidence, "Mr. Chu Hao, I respect you very much. Your character is admirable. To be honest, we were either policemen, retired soldiers, or some scholars before. We didn't know how to manage people at all. If it weren't for you this time, this camp of more than five thousand people would definitely be in a mess. It would not be as orderly as it is now. It would be like a new town.
"Thank you." Chu Hao nodded and said, "Mr. Mike, and everyone else, thank you for your trust in me. However, I think that this is what I should do. Since the people have trusted me and given me the power, I should do my duty with the power I have. I think this is what I should do. Now … we are discussing about my good friend and the most solid protection of this camp, Mr. Ares, right?"
Mike smiled bitterly and said affirmatively, "Yes, I think so … In fact, we don't think there's anything wrong with Mr. Ares. He has excellent medical skills, and during his time in this camp, he has treated hundreds of people and performed dozens of operations. He is also a noble gentleman, and because of him, our plundering operation was completed perfectly. Also, we have more confidence in the future, and it won't be like before, where people will riot when they hear about ghosts. At least we have the power to fight against ghosts and ghosts … In fact, what we are really afraid of is the power that is beyond our imagination. How did Mr. Ares summon the skeletons? To be honest, even though we know it's Mr. Ares who summoned them, every time we see the skeletons, including me, feel fear. Then there are rumors that Mr. Ares is like ghosts and ghosts, that he can imprison and devour human souls. This is the source of his power. To be honest, although I know it's unlikely, I still feel fear …"
"This … actually has nothing to do with morality, it's only related to our weak human souls. Just like how we believe in religion, we just want to find a spiritual shelter. Mr. Chu Hao, not all of us can be like you, who is firm, strong, and knows a lot of the truth of the universe. We are just weak mortals."
Chu Hao seemed to already know everything that Mike said. He smiled and said, "About this, when I met Mr. Ares, he already told me the source of his power. It's not the devouring of souls, nor is it witchcraft that requires sacrifice, and it's not a curse. Perhaps it's a terrifying summoning of skeletons, but this power comes from God."
"God?"
This time, not only Mike and the others, but also the rest of the management team looked at Chu Hao in shock. Chu Hao continued to say with certainty, "Yes, I think all of you here should know some little history knowledge, right? Before the appearance of God's Church, ancient Europe had polytheistic religions. I have no intention of discussing the advantages and disadvantages of polytheistic religions and monotheistic religions, nor do I have any intention of discussing the existence of gods with you. But Mr. Ares, the god that his family believes in came from a god during the polytheistic period in Europe. This god is not God, but when the members of the Ares family believe in it, it will be graced by the family and give them the power to fight against evil spirits. And the power that Mr. Ares showed just happened to be the summoning of skeletons. "
This time, everyone present was speechless. They were all shocked because this was beyond their scope of understanding. If it was witchcraft or curses, they could still barely understand it. But when it came to the topic of gods, it was inevitably a little strange. It was not a field that they could verify at all.
And the most important thing was that, except for some ancient records, whether it was Catholicism, Christianity, or even Orthodoxy, under the situation that they believed in the same god, this religion, or even other religions, had not heard of any miracles in modern times. There were no angels, no gods, and because of this, religions slowly became only a shelter for the soul. No one had heard that as long as one believed in a god devoutly, one could get power from the god. This was not a game, how could such a thing happen?
Mike suddenly asked, "Mr. Chu Hao, although this is a little too much, but can I ask … the god that Mr. Ares' family believes in, what is the name of its god and what is its belief? Is it a god of death? "
"No, it's not a god of death." Chu Hao's heart skipped a beat, and he said almost subconsciously, "This is a benevolent god of light, a god in the light, a god that brings hope and dawn, a god that protects, and a god that sacrifices for its believers."
Everyone listened attentively, because under the testimony of Ares' skeleton, and the confirmation of the ghosts and ghosts in the city, perhaps … a true god should also exist, right? It wasn't just an existence of faith …
"The name of this god is: Hao, which means the sun in the sky, light, dawn, and hope. This is a god that has disappeared in the long river of history, and has been banned and eliminated by monotheistic religions. However, this god is real and does not exist in vain. It is this god that has bestowed the power of the Ares family, and this is the source of the power of the Ares family!"
For some reason, when Chu Hao was about to say the name of the god, he intended to be vague, but suddenly said the word 'Hao' naturally. After saying it, he forgot what he was going to say, and only said this.
The next few days …
This time, the management meeting quickly spread to more than five thousand people in the camp. In addition, Ares also followed Chu Hao's instructions and led his demi-giant skeleton to patrol the valley every day, and even destroyed some ghosts in front of many people. Gradually, people became more friendly towards his existence and the skeleton's existence …
The biggest change was that although the building of the church was completed, and although the prayers had begun, in private, some people began to pray to a god named Hao out of curiosity, or perhaps it was because of the existence of the skeleton. Moreover, in this apocalyptic world where ghosts and ghosts appeared, their prayers seemed to be pious …
No one knew if it was an illusion, but when these people prayed, they always felt their souls calm, as if their souls had found a home and a place to stay. The more this was the case, the more pious their prayers became. On the eighth day after Chu Hao's speech, hundreds of people who prayed to Hao gathered together and held a small mass. This was in the evening, and they did not know about the religious ceremony of this god, Hao. These hundreds of people were ordinary citizens, and there were no religious people among them. However, during this simple and disorderly mass, when hundreds of people prayed together devoutly, a faint light appeared on the table where they simply offered fruits and other offerings. Under everyone's gaze, the light flashed through all the praying people and then disappeared …
These hundreds of people were questioned by countless people afterwards, and they only had one answer. At that moment, they felt the light, hope, and fullness of their hearts. They felt as if there was a great existence comforting them, making them no longer afraid of death.
Hao …
It was a real god that did not exist!
