The great hall of the Bureau of Ecclesiastic Education was very quiet Luoluo re over
The Pope cal, ”It is e because of the world”
Chen Changsheng contemplated this, then said, ”I still don't understand”
The Pope calmly replied, ”You do not need to understand…old people like us have experienced too many storms, seen too many sunrises and sunsets We have already becoard the ways of the world as vapid and dull We do nota few s that go against our own convictions However, in s this way not because ant to protect so or the other, but because we clearly understand where our responsibilities lie”
”Responsibility?” Chen Changsheng asked
”Yes, the longer you live, the greater your responsibility,” the Pope replied ”The responsibility we have towards this world only gets heavier and heavier as time passes by We have a responsibility to seek an even better future for huard any price Back then, I became an enemy of your teacher Now, I have become an enemy of the Empress Both were for this reason”
Saying this, the Pope walked into the depths of the great hall and then did not eain
Chen Changsheng and Luoluo walked out of the great hall, walked down the stone steps, and came to the row of maple trees in front of the Bureau of Ecclesiastic Education
The ht, they were the red color of blood Now in the night, they had become black
Originally, all colors were painted by the heavens and the earth
After not tooof a bell rose up from the hall
A bell also rang out from the Li Palace
The bell rang out It was the call to return home
The scriptures of the Orthodoxy had always held that the death of a person was not like the extinguishi+ng of a lantern The soul would not stay on this world but would return to the sea of stars
Adom, Heaven; this was the true eternal homeland
In the instant the bell rang, Archbishop Mei Lisha's soul calmly departed the hu to the sea of stars
There was no conspiracy and also no grand and nificent conclusion, only a calm and ordinary departure in compliance with the rules of life, just like many ordinary old people
But, in the end, he was no ordinary old man He was the eldest member of the Orthodoxy, an Archbishop of the Sacred Halls that held the highest status
He had seen three Popes appointed and four generations of Holy Maidens He had seen E, he had seen Zhou Dufu, he had seen Chen Xuanba, and he had seen wang Zhice He had witnessed life and death in the Hundred Herb Garden, witnessed blood and fire rage through the Orthodox Academy He had seen countless years and knew countless secrets As he departed, those years and secrets were buried together
Hearing the ringing of the bell, Chen Changsheng raised his head to gaze at the starry sky, the windblown leaves soht sky
