Chapter 2591 Help
Holy Land, the Tower of Judgment, a heavily guarded and magnificent tower fortress, is a model of the French court's missionary work and a sacred place in the hearts of countless believers.
But looking around, there are refugees everywhere. Refugees caused by famine and war left their homes and gathered under the Tower of Judgment, praying devoutly for the gods to show up and restore their lives to normal. Unfortunately, even if they devoutly gave all their money to the Tower of Judgment, they would still be asked for endlessly. Only those with money are qualified to be believers, and those without money are not qualified.
Under such extreme oppression, a group of people did awaken. They wanted to eliminate the priests in the Tower of Judgment, but more refugees were still fanatics, still believing that only God could save them, and they had to obey the orders of the priests.
However, the first awakened people did not have the ability to defeat the priests. Although they had prepared weapons and equipment as much as possible, they were still scattered and could not become a force to be reckoned with.
At this time, the international situation was also changing. The Emperor of Kusha Empire had summoned a large army and was eyeing the Kingdom of Mitlan. The Kusha Empire has conquered cities and territories in recent years, and everyone with a discerning eye can see that the aging King of Mitlan is simply unable to lead the entire country to fight against the Kusha Empire.
Two years ago, there was an Eagle Group that became everyone's hope, but now the Eagle Group is nowhere to be found. Where is the hope of the Kingdom of Mitlan?
At this time, all the people in Mitlan dreamed of an eagle, a white eagle that cut through the darkness in their dreams. No one knew what it meant, and the priest couldn't explain it, but in such a large-scale collective dream, the priest still found room for play, thinking that this was God guiding the lost lambs, and God would send the eagle to protect the people of Mitlan.
The believers believed it, but when exactly? ! Their patience has its limits. Will the eagle appear before they starve to death, die of exhaustion, or are killed?
This priest can't guarantee it. They can only say that if they donate more money, the eagle will definitely come more promptly.
In this turbulent era, mortals carry three mountains of religion, nobility, and foreign enemies. At this time, Luna, the Great Sword, was walking around the periphery of the Holy Land with the young lady. There was an apostle in this place, but this apostle was very cunning and had been hiding.
Luna brought the young lady to the mass grave. The dead and dying people would be thrown into the cracks in the ground. The corpses below were already piled up like a mountain, but they would continue to increase.
Because there were many people who were executed or tortured to death in the Tower of Conviction every day. As long as they were judged guilty by the square-faced Father Mozgus, they would be sent to the interrogation room to receive eighteen kinds of torture. After being tortured to the point of being unrecognizable, they would be thrown into the mass grave.
The young lady vomited, but she still thought that the Great Sword was torturing her, and her three views had not changed. However, seeing so many refugees struggling to survive was indeed the first time she was shocked. She had never thought that the French King's Court carried the hopes of so many people.
Even if these refugees were almost starving to death, they would rather donate their jewelry to the French King's Court. They believed in the priest so firmly, but how did the priest respond?
Executing pagans is the priest's way of responding. In this way, the priest proves that they are not paid for nothing. They are making the world a better place. The more pagans they execute, the more cruel the means, the better the world will be.
However, refugees are still refugees, and executing pagans cannot put their lives back on track.
Today, Luna brought the eldest lady to the camp of awakened believers, because she knew that these guys wanted to assassinate the priests, and she came to stop them, because they were just sending themselves to die in vain.
These believers quietly prepared weapons. Many of their wives and children have been executed as pagans. A large part of the reason for their awakening is to avenge their relatives.
"Great sword?" They didn't expect the great sword to appear outside the camp on horseback.
Luna rode a horse, and the eldest lady sat behind her "well-behaved".
Several awakened believers looked at the legendary mysterious and powerful great sword warrior warily, shocked by the other's beauty, and also afraid of the two sharp great swords behind her.
"Your assassination plan will not succeed. Mozgus has always been protected by masters, and you are not their opponents at all."
How could several people not know the danger of assassination? But they couldn't vent their anger without revenge. Their relatives were not pagans at all. It was all that hateful guy who acted recklessly and framed them. How could they swallow this bitter breath?
"We know it's dangerous, but we have to give it a try."
Luna looked at them and said, "If you want to give it a try, you might as well follow my arrangement and deconstruct the doctrine. Don't let the priest monopolize it anymore. Understand the scriptures yourself, and then tell everyone to resist the priest in your own way."
Several people looked at each other. This way of resistance was really the first time they heard of it.
Luna took out a few scriptures from the saddle bag and gave them to the people present: "Find someone who can read and study the scriptures well. If you compete with force, you will just die, but as long as you master the scriptures that the priest is proud of, and interpret them by yourself, and find where the priest violates the doctrine, you can kill him with the doctrine."
The eldest lady behind Luna was already stunned. She was not a fool. She knew very well that if everyone had their own understanding of the doctrine, then the French court would be finished. Asking everyone to learn doctrine is really a sinister and despicable move.
A few awakened people have not yet realized the power of deconstructing doctrine, because they do not know so many words, and they do not understand why reading scriptures can kill the priest. What is the cause and effect relationship?
Luna has shown them a way, and the rest is their own choice. Da Jian traveled everywhere, and in the process he helped Dulan promote the idea of "justification by faith."
Like a spark that started a prairie fire, it gained support among the believers who were dissatisfied with the actions of the King of France.
For example, some of the refugees have accepted "justification by faith" and have also received brand-new scriptures published by the Princess Territory. The export of scriptures has become the largest source of income for the princess territory, which can be said to be a huge profit. Because Duran made higher-quality paper and invented better printing technology, the quality of the new version of the scriptures was the highest in history, so believers donated generously to buy it.
But for those who don’t have money to buy and need scriptures, it’s free. There are still a few literate people among the refugees. They read the scriptures and have their own understanding of the scriptures, and then slowly tell their understanding to the people around them.
To put it simply, the King's Court is now distorted, and there are many inappropriate behaviors that violate the scriptures, so they want to oppose the King's Court.
Oppose the French court, but not the French king. Everything they did was still for faith, just to correct the mistakes of the King's Court.
For example, the French court should not collect money, and priests have no right to decide the life and death of believers, etc. These are all closely related to the interests of believers, and everyone has expressed concern.
But if you don’t give money, how can you be sure that the Dharma King will bless you?
"Do you have as much money as the nobles? Does the Dharma King only protect the rich? If so, doesn't the Dharma King only protect the nobles? That's not the case. The Dharma King is kind and he will protect every pious person. The current situation is that the King's Court has been corrupted, so we must return the truth of the teachings, we must understand the teachings ourselves, and we can no longer accept distorted teachings. The true teachings are to teach us piety, and piety is not about offering money, but using teachings. To regulate our behavior, we must treat every believer as a brother and sister, and treat them equally. Anyone who does not do this will be punished.”
It's like a sales pitch, giving answers to various questions one by one, and finally convincing the other party to believe in the new interpretation and believe that the King's Court has been distorted. So outside the Tower of Judgment, a new force is slowly gathering.
