Chapter 417 - 410. Real Sanctuary
Changing the whole system...
"This..."
Even Agatha seemed to be hesitating, unlike before. The first demand was about building something new, so it was rather passable. But to change what had been practiced for centuries...
’Even the supportive Elders might object,’ she pondered inwardly.
If Agatha was hesitating, then Rounan could only blink in a daze. For someone whose life consisted of the Temple and only the Temple, it was akin to a paradigm shift. His brain couldn’t quite comprehend the idea.
"Why? You can’t?"
Agatha moved nervously in her seat. "Sir Ishtera, I understand what you meant--and please don’t take it wrongly, but..." she let out a sigh, "You know it won’t be easy convincing the whole Temple that what they had been doing is...incorrect."
Zein did not show much reaction in his face, unlike the intense emotion just a few minutes ago. He just shook his head. "Why are you doing so much politics when you’re not even part of the government," he sighed. "You are given power so you don’t have to be consumed by other’s power, but you’ve been doing it for your own--"
He did not finish his sentence, because he couldn’t hold another long sigh from coming out. It felt pointless, just like talking to espers who used their power to kill civilians instead of protecting them. The essence of what the Towers and Temples should give to humanity was getting marred by this kind of people.
Perhaps because Zein had a close connection with the fragments that enabled those towers and temples to give their power to humanity, he felt even more frustrated.
So much that his nape was tingling.
