Chapter 2595: Weak Resistance
When faced with an unsolvable contradiction, it is easiest to divert the contradiction or create a bigger contradiction to cover up the old one. For example, many nobles cannot solve the gap between the rich and the poor in their territories, and cannot solve the livelihood problems. They turn around and start a war to cover up the problem through war.
The same is true for the French court. Fortunately, there is a ready-made opponent, that is, the covetous Kusha Empire. Their army has already eliminated several lords. At this time, the French court announced in a high-profile manner that it would fight back against the Kusha Empire, and immediately grasped the righteousness.
After solving the crisis of the French court, Duran brought his army to the Tower of Judgment to preach the doctrine.
There are also fallen women in places like refugee camps. Among them, there is a fallen woman named Lujia who is quite loyal. She often uses the money she earns from selling her body to help the weak around her. She also protects several fallen girls, teaches them how to make money, and takes care of them when they are sick.
Although life is hard, Lujia is different from ordinary refugees. She always uses her wisdom to maintain her life and never gives up hope.
Although other refugees are also trying hard to support, few are so optimistic.
On this day, Lujia saved a wheat-skinned beauty who seemed to be mentally ill. Because she was worried that she would fall into the tiger's mouth, she bandaged the beauty and pretended that she was disfigured by syphilis, so as to prevent others from being tempted by her beauty and hurting this brain-dead beauty.
This woman was Guts's lover. She suffered a huge mental trauma in the Eclipse that day and gave birth to an unformed demon fetus. That is the little demon who has been following Guts.
But she was originally protected by Guts in the fairy mine, which could barely resist the demons because she also had a mark on her body. But she didn't expect that one day she came out for a walk and ran away directly.
And no one knew what happened, so she came all the way to the Tower of Judgment.
Lujia didn't care that she had to support one more person or worry about one more thing. She still faced every day with full energy, trying to find food and medicine every day, and then doing business and inquiring about the situation, using her limited ability to do today's things well, and then to welcome tomorrow.
One of the girls got seriously ill, so Lujia spent a lot of money to buy medicine. Although it was very likely that the medicine would not work, Lujia did not give up, hoping that the seriously ill girl could hold on.
But the girl really couldn't hold on. She obviously had a lot of things to do and she was still young, so why did she have to count her days?
It was because of the desire for life that she feared death. The seriously ill girl complained about herself and felt that she was really too unlucky. Why did it happen to her?
She wanted to buy jewelry, eat delicious food, and fall in love... But all of this was far away from her. Her body became weaker and weaker, and the remaining days were numbered.
So the girl joined the cult in the refugee camp to seek short-term pleasure. Lujia forbad them to get close to the cult because these guys were not good people. They only tinkered with some evil ways and could not solve any problems at all.
They worshiped the goat-headed demon. Of course, this demon was just a man wearing a goat's head, and then held some evil group sports and ate some disgusting things.
The only skill of the cult is the hallucination potion, which can make people around forget everything for a short time when placed in the bonfire.
Under the eyes of the Tower of Judgment, they must be careful to do these things, because once Mozgus knows, they will be dead. So they carry out activities in hidden caves late at night.
However, there are fewer and fewer people in the cult now, because many people go to listen to the scriptures, not to listen to the priests, but to listen to the refugees who like to listen to the scriptures.
The tricks of the cult cannot satisfy people all the time, but listening to the scriptures can. It is so refreshing to listen to the refugees interpret the scriptures themselves. Those priests and nobles are guilty and should go to hell. This is what the scriptures say, because what they did violated the requirements of the scriptures and the rules of the gods.
For a time, both the French court and the cult faced the problem of personnel loss, because they could not solve the problems of the people. Only the people themselves can solve their own problems, so their preaching is practical and hits the key points, which mentions the pain points of the refugees.
In their narration, the gods became down-to-earth.
Lujia also likes to listen to the sutras, but she has too many things to take care of, so she can only listen to a short part. She is looking forward to everyone dragging the priest of the Tower of Judgment out to offer sacrifices to the heavens, and then maybe the seriously ill girl can be cured. Because she heard that there are doctors and enough medicines in the Tower of Judgment.
Before, a mother stopped the car of the square-faced priest with her child in her arms, hoping that the priest would save the child. Later, the child's illness was cured, but the child's mother did not come out alive. In fact, people who are familiar with the Tower of Judgment know that the priest is not a philanthropist. When they save a person, they will definitely kill another person. They will not let the mother and child live in peace and happiness.
The mother was sent to the court for inhuman torture, because she had committed a crime by stopping the convoy. Although the priest saved the child, he also had to punish the mother.
As for the reason why one person must be killed to save one person, no one knows. What the priest said is the truth. He is God's agent in the mortal world, so naturally his words follow the law. In the Tower of Judgment, the square-faced priest is more powerful than God's hand.
The Hand of God is the white glove of the true God, and there is a real terrifying existence behind them. However, the square-faced priest only has a fake king behind him, but he can still do whatever he wants.
I have to say it is really funny and sad. You must use real demons to defeat false gods, and use the power of the netherworld to defeat the cruel reality.
The strong in this world are doing evil all the time, and anyone who relies on something will do whatever they want and oppress the weak.
Guts's resistance seems fierce, but it is just a little wave and an episode in the great era. It can even be said that Guts no longer takes the initiative to seek revenge, and begins to change his attitude and concentrate on protecting the people around him. After all, this road to revenge is far away, and it may take a thousand years without any results, but the people around him can't wait that long.
The best example is the Skeleton Knight. For a thousand years, he gave up his human identity and kept fighting against the Hand of God, but there was no result at all.
So the Skeleton Knight did not support Guts' revenge, because it was really a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and this was a bad era. It is good enough to protect the people around you, and it is a bit presumptuous to want revenge.
But now Duran has come, killing priests, beating nobles, and setting up the grand chess game of justification by faith and equality for all. The dawn of people-oriented has appeared in the Holy Land.
The flag is flying outside the Tower of Conviction. On this day, the refugees see not only the sun rising on the horizon, but also hope.
The refugees who have accepted the call have taken action, taking down and burying the bodies displayed outside the Tower of Conviction, and then united under the banner of the princess to surround the Tower of Conviction.
