Chapter 766 The Wind Is Blowing
Let’s not mention what kind of ripples Duanmuhuai’s announcement caused in this town. Just when the undercurrent was surging inside the town, Duanmuhuai was in the basement of the church, staring at a corpse—yes, The church naturally has the responsibility of preserving corpses, but the corpse in front of me is different.
Because this corpse was the corpse of the farmer who was accused of being a heretic by Duanmu Huai last night.
Judging from the scars on his body, he should have been hanged before being placed here for disposal.
But obviously today Duanmu Huai saw him again running around lively outside...
"What do you think?"
"It's not like an android."
Irisviel looked back at the corpse in front of her and shook her head.
"It doesn't look like a doll. No matter how you look at it, it's just an ordinary human being."
Medea also spoke.
"But he should have died yesterday, but in fact we saw him again today. Since he is not an artificial person or a puppet, can this magician still be cloned?"
Duanmu Huai frowned. If he wanted to talk about it now, the possibility of cloning was not impossible, but this was a magical world they came to. How could it not suddenly transform into a science fiction movie? There can't really be a technologically advanced and complete underground biochemical base under this town, right?
One dies and then another is awakened as a replacement?
Are we really on the set of a science fiction movie?
"What is cloning?"
"It is also a means of replicating humans. It can be achieved by science, but the technology in this world should not have developed to that level yet."
“The body is just a container.”
Medea also spoke.
"The core of any living thing is the soul. This mutilated corpse has no life and lacks a soul. I think it is very likely that the other party's soul has been transferred."
"If it's transferred, there shouldn't be any memories from before."
To be honest, Medea's explanation made Duanmu Huai even more unacceptable. She might as well have cloned her.
"………………"
For a moment, everyone didn't know what to do. They originally thought they could find some clues, but they found that there were more and more mysteries.
Duanmuhuai thought of a question.
"Logically speaking, since this is a magician's workshop, there should be a magician. Can't we just find him?"
"We have tried, but we have not found anything similar. For now, the only thing we can be sure of is that this workshop position is indeed operating normally. In addition, what is the ceremony held in this position? This workshop We still don’t know where the owner is.”
Medea is also helpless. Although she is a magician from the age of the gods, due to mystical exhaustion, many of the things and ideas used by magicians today are different from those of their time. Although it is not difficult to crack this magic workshop with Medea's ability, if you want to completely stop and peel it off, you still have to start from the core.
The prerequisite is that you must know what the core is.
"So……………"
Duanmu Huai wanted to say something, but his expression soon changed and he waved his hand. Then Irisviel and Medea quickly transformed into spirits. Then footsteps sounded, and then the priest opened the door and walked in. .
"Your Majesty the Inquisitor."
The priest looked very tired at this moment, and he looked very worried. Looking at his appearance, it was impossible to tell that he was not human.
"What's the matter?"
"Someone came to report that he had discovered traces of heresy."
The pastor's expression was very painful when he said this. Obviously, he did not want this to happen.
"oh?"
But Duanmu Huai was not surprised at all and just raised his eyebrows.
"I'll go now."
Arriving at the church room above again, Duanmu Huai looked at the man standing there awkwardly, looking like a farmer, and snorted coldly.
"I heard that you want to report heresy?"
"Yes, sir! I want to report...I want to report Andrew's Hawke!"
"What?"
Hearing the man's words, the pastor suddenly frowned.
"What nonsense are you talking about! Dover? You and Hawke have been friends for decades! Aren't you good friends?"
"It's because we are good friends that I know how disrespectful that guy is to the Lord in private!"
However, in the face of the pastor's rhetorical questions, the man named Dover seemed very calm.
"You don't know something, Pastor. In fact, Hawke has always had very heretical views on the content of the Bible. Not only does he not admit that the Son is the Son of the Lord, he even claims time and time again that the Son is not God at all! I I tried to persuade him to abandon this blasphemous and evil heresy, but he didn’t repent at all! He even thought that I was a fool who had been brainwashed by the church!”
"this……………"
The pastor looked confused when he heard Dover's report.
"But why did you never tell me?"
"I once told you, Pastor, but you never took my warning seriously. Didn't you say that everyone has his or her own opinion on faith?"
"I did say that..."
The pastor glanced at Duanmuhuai awkwardly and quickly looked away, while Duanmuhuai's expression darkened.
“In other words, the man named Hawke doesn’t acknowledge the Lord’s deeds?”
"That's right! He also claimed that the Holy Son was born from the affair between the Virgin Mary and another man, and that he lied that it was the Son of the Lord because he was afraid of being punished by his husband! This is simply blasphemy!!"
Well, that carpenter is indeed the most influential cuckold king in the world.
Duanmu Huai heard this and silently liked this passage. The Bible says that Mary and Joseph never had sex after they got married, and then there was the miracle of a young girl giving birth to a child... But from a modern perspective, isn't this Mary wearing a green hat on Joseph? Maybe she had an affair with a man, and then asked Joseph to be the scapegoat, and then she was afraid that Joseph would find out that she was no longer a virgin, so she didn't let Joseph have sex with her, but secretly had an affair with other men.
Poor carpenter, he was honest and loyal, but he was deceived. If it were put in the present, there would be too many similar cases.
In the end, because there were no contraceptive measures in that era, it was actually very common to get pregnant and then lie that it was the son of God.
Especially in Greek mythology, there are many women who dream of thunder hitting their abdomens, dreaming of being rained down by gold, and then they find themselves pregnant when they open their eyes. There are too many such cases, or eight out of ten demigod heroes born in Greek mythology have similar backgrounds.
But in fact, this is just because most of them are this kind of routine.
This is also the reason why most of these so-called demigod sons are abandoned at birth—their husbands are not mentally retarded. You are cheating on me and you want to lie to me that it was the gods who asked me to help you raise your children in a dream? I don’t believe you! It’s good that you didn’t kill them on the spot!
This shows that the kings in ancient times were not stupid. Only Joseph, a stupid carpenter, was uneducated, so he was foolishly deceived and had to help his rival who came from nowhere to raise his son. Tsk, tsk, tsk, this is really sad and tearful.
Well, at this time, Duanmu Huai really wanted to take out a clapperboard... Ding, Ding, Ding, don't talk about gossip, today I will talk about the mother of the saint. To say that this saint is not ordinary, the father cheated on the little carpenter. Poor Maria, who got pregnant before marriage, the angel came to help in the dream, little carpenter, don't complain about the big belly of the Virgin Mary, the baby in the belly is the king of mankind - as the saying goes, the grace of the Father is vast, and the girl has no peers in the world. Joseph, the cheap father, is the king of cuckolds who will be remembered forever~~~~
Of course, Duanmu Huai was madly complaining in his heart, but on the surface he was naturally solemn. Anyway, this is indeed a heretical statement. Under normal circumstances, it may not be a big problem, but who asked Duanmu Huai to do this heresy trial? Then the problem is big all of a sudden, okay.
"Do you have any evidence?"
"Of course, he has been saying these blasphemous remarks for more than ten years! People who are familiar with him have heard his words! You can check it out, sir!"
"Oh, I see."
Duanmu Huai nodded, then looked at the pastor.
"I want you to send someone to Andrew's house immediately to bring Hawke here. I want to interrogate him overnight!"
"……………Yes, sir."
Hearing Duanmu Huai's order, the pastor wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing, just sighed silently. Then he took Dover out of the room and left.
"I didn't expect that someone would actually report it."
Alice Phil looked surprised. She knew that Duanmu Huai's heresy trial was nonsense, but she didn't expect that there would be people who actually believed it?
"These people have been living here, so they are naturally close to each other, but close relationships do not mean good relationships."
Duanmu Huai took a sip of water and sneered.
"Think about it, you live next door to someone you hate, but you have to live with him for decades. That's not a good relationship. If there is an excuse and opportunity, you will definitely beat him to death. And my appearance and the heresy trial just gave them an excuse... "
"Knock, knock."
Just then, the knock on the door sounded again, and then the priest walked in.
"Report to the judge, Hawke is here."
"Oh? So fast?"
It's less than half a minute, right?
"Actually... "
Faced with Duanmu Huai's question, the priest's expression was a bit complicated, but at this moment, a burly man rushed into the room.
"Judge, I am Hawke Andrew! I want to report to you that my neighbor Dover is a blasphemous heretic!!"
"... ... "
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai almost laughed out loud.
This is interesting.
