Do you all know the future?

Chapter 6 Meet in advance
The warm carriage was so warm that Diane felt sweaty and the fur of the monster under her felt hot and no longer smooth.

The truth cannot be told. Although I don’t understand how Roland discovered part of Margaret’s priesthood, judging by his appearance, he didn’t know that the god he was going to choose was a lame god.

The believers of the gods in this world will more or less receive some blessings. If they truly believe in them but do not receive any blessings, won’t they be exposed?
"Isn't Storm Goddess Tina good?"

Diane pretended to hesitate and said that the Church of the Trade Winds was the state religion of the Tudor Empire, dedicated to the storm goddess Tina, and almost all nobles believed in it.

"Ms. Tina is very good, but I have higher aspirations. I believe that our Lord will eventually become famous in the material world. Abundance, prosperity, and victory are all powerful priesthoods. As a new believer, I want to help you, the Son of God, obtain the glory of the Lord!"

No one believed in rebirth. After checking countless materials, no traces of rebirth or similar legends were found.

This is something that no god can do at present. If it weren't for the confirmation of Diane's existence and the discovery of clues about his father, Roland would even suspect that his memory had been modified by someone.

Roland couldn't say that he simply wanted Diane as his stepfather, so he could only pretend that Diane had the biggest secret, that she was the Son of God (Chosen by God).

"This this……"

Diane really didn't know what to say. Roland's choice seemed to be correct. He was a standard investor. It was just that Margaret was too weak now.

"I know that the beliefs of some gods are secretive, and the standard version of joining the guild is excellence. I may not be able to meet the requirements for the time being, but please give me a direction, I am willing to work hard!"

Seeing Diane's hesitation, Roland didn't want to see Diane in trouble. After all, he was the stepfather he recognized in his heart. Seeing Diane stuck, he said very understandingly that he would not force it if there was no chance, but he just felt very sorry.

"You are right. The gods' followers need elites. They need sages who can govern their territories to prosperity and wealth, and heroes who can lead their armies to invincibility."

Roland gave Diane the ladder, and Diane calmly came down from the ladder. He looked at Roland again and could not refuse death.

It's not that Diane coveted Roland's beautiful, mature, and arrogant mother, but because Roland knew that Diane was the Son of God, and he wanted him to keep the secret and not let him spread it everywhere, and he couldn't refuse to die.

Great nobility, high culture, and strong power.

Isn't this the standard version of the Elite?

More conditions and restrictions are needed.

"Ahem, you've actually met most of the requirements, but there are still some issues standing in your way of joining our church. I'm not sure if you can overcome them."

Diane was patching up the situation, racking her brains to think of some conditions to use to block Roland and give him the opportunity to think slowly and discuss with Margaret.

"What's the problem? I'll fix it!"

Roland originally just casually proposed to believe in this new god, but now he is really tempted. It can bring him closer to Diane, bring Diane and his mother together, and change the future at the same time.

He had no faith before, but now Diane is his faith. He just went with the flow and wanted to cling to Diane. He knew that Diane was the Son of God, but if he didn't cling to Diane after his rebirth, he would be stupid.

Moreover, he has a father who is a cultist, so he also needs to get close to Diane to get Diane's help. His mother can also tell her, but who would think that the help is not enough?

"For our gods, it's not that they bless you with prosperous governance or invincible military power, but that you possess these abilities yourself. Only then can you become their believer. Do you understand what I mean?"

Diane was talking nonsense. Margaret was hanging on her breath now. What else could she ask for? She really couldn't give her blessings other than abundance and prosperity. If she could give her blessings, she would have given Diane the maximum blessing. Diane had no choice but to make a big promise.

"I understand. These are all tests from the gods. Achieving prosperity through governance to please the gods is like the followers of the god of war waging war to please the gods and gain their attention."

One dares to speak and the other dares to believe and imagine. What Diane said was difficult, but Loran, who thought like a local, instantly "understood" it.

"Yes, to our Lord, His followers are the elites who make the country prosperous and strong, and the generals who are victorious on the battlefield. Do you have the ability to govern a place well or the courage to win victory on the battlefield?"

Diane, who didn't know what to say at first, quickly followed Roland's words after being reminded by Roland. She felt relieved and got away with it.

"You need to put aside your aristocratic pride, follow the principle of seeking truth from facts, and personally conduct research among the common people to draw conclusions, rather than sitting at home and talking nonsense. Join the army to understand war, and live and eat with the most ordinary soldiers..."

Diane spoke slowly, deliberately setting up blocking conditions and observing the changes in Roland's expression. Originally, there were no such conditions, they were just restrictions, but these were the basis for Diane to become a leader.

Margaret's failure was due to both the stupidity of the people and her own desire to be an omnipotent king. She believed that her efforts would be recognized, and she did not know that the people also needed leadership.

He felt that these requirements would be difficult for Roland, who came from a noble family. He needed to let go of his aristocratic sense of superiority. He knew how difficult it would be after seeing the situation of blocking the door today.

This is an idealistic world full of divinity. People might more appropriately call it a human mine. The energy that drives the steam engine is not coal, but people.

As Diane expected, Roland looked embarrassed, as if he was wondering whether he could do what Diane said, his eyes conflicted and weighing the pros and cons.

The original Roland would agree without hesitation and accept the challenge given by the gods, but after being reborn, he realized that his previous worldview was fragile.

Having witnessed the ugly behavior of the nobles fawning on their superiors and bullying their subordinates, and the despicable behavior of the common people blindly following others, being condemned by thousands of people, and finally being tried as a cultist, Roland almost went with the flow and was played around by his own father. He no longer had confidence in his own abilities.

It wasn't that he couldn't bring himself to lose face as a noble as Diane thought. Roland felt that he was not capable enough. He couldn't tell whether the praise others had given him before was because he was the son of the Duke or because of his ability. He really couldn't tell.

"Besides, the goddess won't help you until you achieve something. The goddess won't accept unwise believers. This is a test from our gods. Prove your worth."

Diane mentioned the blessing again, trying to cover up the fact that the god she believed in could not even bless her. Diane herself felt a little embarrassed by her stingy behavior.

There is a loophole here. Since the gods cannot provide help, why should believe in her? The believers themselves are capable of doing such things.

However, Diane was not afraid of Roland pointing it out. Believe it or not, Margaret was not a god of faith, but more like a god of rules, and there was no need to deliberately cultivate believers.

Loran's face became even uglier. Diane was waiting for him to refuse so that they could have a good talk about the issue of keeping his identity confidential. He didn't want to attract other people's attention.

"I can accept anything!"

Just when Diane breathed a sigh of relief and felt that she had fooled Roland, Roland spoke up after careful consideration. How would you know your abilities if you don't try?

"These problems may be difficult for you, but these are the qualities required to be a leader... Do you accept it?" Diane tried to comfort him and was about to leave a hole for fishing when she suddenly realized that Roland did not back down, but agreed directly.

"An Shenzi, I agree to all your requests. I can overcome them all, whether it's investigating among the civilians or living and eating with the soldiers. If these are the requirements of the church, I am willing to comply."

"I want to become even better. I don't want people to only think of my last name when they mention me, instead of me as a person. I also want to help An Shenzi achieve success in his career and complete the mission given by God."

Because he had experienced the days when he had no surname, after his rebirth, his heart became clear. He no longer cared about being a noble or not. Those nobles did not help him when he was in trouble. It was his stepfather Diane who helped him.

The more Diane talked, the more Roland was moved. Becoming excellent, becoming stronger, and becoming a hero, isn't this what he wanted most before his rebirth?

"I understand. I will go back and pray to the Lord and listen to His advice. He will give you a test... I hope you can demonstrate your talents before the Lord and meet the requirements for membership."

Diane nodded with a stiff expression. The other party did not play by the rules, and he had the illusion that Roland's belief in God was not as important as helping him, otherwise why would Roland specifically mention helping him.

However, Diane did not say much. Anyway, his goal had been achieved. He decided to delay it and go back to discuss with Margaret what to do. All the current situations were beyond his expectations.

If it weren't for Roland's self-imagination, Diane really didn't know how to keep up the lie. Now Roland believed that there was a secret god behind Diane.

Just like the God of Prophecy, he usually has few believers, but his believers do great things. The same is true for Diane in Roland's eyes.

"Whether or not the trial succeeds, I hope to gain your friendship, Anshenzi. My promise is still valid. I will help you get my mother, and we will be a family."

The topic returned to the starting point. Roland actively promoted his mother. If he had not fallen out with Diane, Diane would not have had the opportunity to meet his mother. He did not want to ruin the destined marriage between his mother and Diane.

"Ah."

Diane felt itchy in his heart, not because he was thinking about Roland's mother, but because he wanted to find out the reason why Roland knew his identity.

"There will be a banquet at my house the day after tomorrow. You must come to the banquet. I will create a surprise for you and your mother."

Seeing that Diane was in deep thought and seemed a little careless, showing that she didn't quite believe he could succeed, Loran invited Diane.

"No need to call me Son of God. My identity should not be exposed. There is no need for accidents. Not to mention my low status now, your mother is still a married woman, which is not good."

Diane was shocked when she came to her senses. She didn't know what kind of accident Roland was planning to cause, but Diane wanted to live in peace for a few more days.

"It's okay. My mother is a woman who values ​​ability over blood ties. Besides, Lord An's status is no worse than hers. As for married women, Tudor is not the conservative Istaya. Lovers and the like are not uncommon. It's not bad to be lovers first."

Thinking about how her cold, noble and arrogant mother had surrendered to Diane's arms before her rebirth, Loran was full of confidence in Diane.

"Huh? Your mother also has many lovers? Then I can't do it either. I don't have much ability."

Diane responded casually, but he was nervous inside. He thought of himself as a married man and didn't think about extra things. He didn't want to have anything to do with these so-called ladies under this kind of atmosphere.

"How could Lord An be incompetent? Without ability, how could he be valued by the gods? Lord, don't worry, my mother is pure and innocent, waiting for you to pick her."

Seeing Diane showing a look of resistance, Roland became a little anxious and his tone became a little flustered. No one could stop Diane from becoming his stepfather, not even Diane.

"That's not the point. The point is that I already have someone in my heart and there's no room for another person."

Diane's gaze seemed to pass through the luxurious carriage and saw the gentle maid smiling at him.

"I understand that you, Luo Lan, want to get close to me and exchange benefits, but our church doesn't need this kind of nepotism. If you become strong, you will naturally be rewarded by the gods."

Diane said softly that in his eyes, Roland was more like an investor, and his mother and others were just bargaining chips.

"Lord An, ah... It's not about any benefits, I just want you..."

The words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them. Loran took a deep breath. Seeing Diane's confused and wary face, he felt regretful for being too hasty.

Although he was very touched that Diane had not changed much after her rebirth and was still like a saint, she looked really hard to approach now.

"Lord An, you don't understand. My mother is loved by many people. She is one of the three beauties of Landu. My father is dying, and you acted too late, so someone else took her away. My mother can be used as a qualification for your promotion in Tudor. Lord An, please seize the opportunity."

Luo Lan calmly recommended that, having returned to the original point and with the memory of rebirth, he didn't believe that Diane didn't have feelings for his mother. If she didn't have feelings for him, could she have gotten together with him before her rebirth?

His father has fallen, and his mother is so beautiful, she must be left to Diane. No one else can do it. No one else can be worthy of being his father. Only Diane is qualified to conquer his proud mother, the lady of the Stuart family.

"Ah, you... I do need your mother's resources, but aren't you exaggerating? I see Duke Stuart is in his prime."

Roland seemed to be too filial. Diane looked at Roland in disbelief. Is there anyone who curses his own father like this?

"He will die. I found him..."

"Dong dong..."

There was a knock on the door, interrupting their conversation. Luo Lan opened the curtains and was nervous when he saw the person coming.

"mom!"

Loran opened the car door, and a fragrant breeze blew in. A mature and cold rose-red beauty got in the car. She sat opposite Diane. As soon as she got in the car, she looked at Diane with strong eyes, with a scrutinizing look, as if to penetrate his heart.

"Although I don't want to interfere with your social circle, I'm curious after hearing what you did today. Classmate, could you please introduce yourself?"

Isabella ignored her bewildered son. The red of the flames and the coldness of her attitude combined perfectly together, giving people a kind of misplaced beauty.
