To be a cardinal must be a fanatic believer in the Holy Spirit. Perhaps he was respected in the church, in front of the believers, benevolent and beautiful, admired and loved.

But the Holy Spirit is extremely repulsive to the heathen.

It belongs to me without him, and there is him without me.

Remember that dying old pastor, Gensley?

Once they meet a heretic, they will completely abandon their kind and benevolent side, become hysterical, vicious and cruel, and want to burn the heretic at the stake immediately.

Beliefs are different, and fire and water are incompatible.

Wars of Religion have always been at the root of the wars of the Middle Ages.

In a certain sense, there is an essential difference between the religious beliefs of China and the religious beliefs advocated by the West. The Chinese are more utilitarian and realistic, and therefore more inclusive and multicultural.

The essence of Western religious belief is black and white, binary opposition.

The centuries-old 'Crusades', the infamous witch's gavel, are the bloodiest embodiment.

To sum up, Qin Song didn't need to know what the cardinal's character was, even if he was really a compassionate and benevolent old man, so what?

Destroy you, it's none of your business!

Looking at Qin Song, who had been silent all the time with eyes full of various emotions, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and his tone was calm and unwavering: "If authority can represent the truth, then the truth has no meaning." Truth is not a crown, not a throne, not a weapon, it is born of wisdom, it is stored in the heart, and it is proved in practice. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, if authority can prevent the pursuit of truth, then it is better not to pursue it. Qin Song didn't encourage them to fight against different beliefs, glanced at them, and fell silent again.

There are some things that can only be comprehended, decided, and firm by yourself!

Qin Song's departure made the entire hall fall into silence. He had no anger, no shame, not even hostility and advocacy, but only those thought-provoking words.

If authority represents truth, then truth has no meaning.

If authority can prevent the pursuit of truth, then it is not the pursuit of knowledge.

Yes, their jealousy comes from 'authority', an authority that has been formed over hundreds of years, and everyone has taken it for granted, because it is the authority, the authority to study the truth.

But the question is, does authority really mean truth?

The first to speak was Veronica, who had never expressed an opinion, and her tone was calm: "My father's president of the stonemason's guild is the authority of the stonemasons. But he couldn't make a single red brick!"

The voice is soft, but it is loud.

Such a simple red brick is simple and inexpensive, but it can shelter the people from the wind and rain. Everyone present clearly saw that under the leadership of Robles, the Blackstone construction team continued to expand the brick houses at a rapid pace, and in the near future, every lord would be able to live in a warm house.

"The black stones that have existed for thousands of years, countless people have seen it and stepped on it, but who knows that they can be used to burn and bring warmth?" said Linda.

What exactly is truth?

"What authority!" Elena clenched her little fists tightly, and her little face was full of contempt: "They only eradicate and exclude all disobedient people, leaving only the obedient ones, and everyone will call him authority." ”

"They even say it's poisonous, hehe......" Luna took a mockery out of her pocket and took an unceremonious bite, "It's delicious." ”

"If there is truth in the world, it must be wisdom, nature, and the universe. And not what authority. Alice raised her head and stood in front of Qin Song, but there was a wonderful mature light on her immature face: "The great god has never preached any authority, he constantly encourages me, guides me, and makes me learn, listen, and do it myself." Qin, no matter what kind of cardinal he is, even if the Pope comes in person, as long as what he says is wrong, I will bravely fight, even if I die, I will die in the pursuit of truth. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen. Leah took a deep breath: "Choosing to give in means that we give up everything we have worked so hard to build, that is the coward's choice. But the Holy Spirit never spared any pagan, and anyone who disagreed with them would die except captivity and exile. I learned that the truth they live by is only the truth in their eyes. And the truth we live by is the truth of nature, the truth of wisdom. ”

"We don't have any room to back down, and we don't have any reason to back down!" Leah's voice gradually became higher-pitched, she was not a cowardly person, and she knew better than anyone else the efforts made by the Black Stone Collar and cherished it more than anyone else.

Anyone who wants to spoil this, absolutely not allowed!

"Qin, since the paths pursued are different, then there is no need for us to cater to them! Whether it is a priest or a bishop, from today onwards, it has nothing to do with the Black Stone Collar. ”

"Whatever his motives, he must not be allowed to set foot in the Blackstone Collar!" Sir Weimar also let go, "Those outcasts are still in a state of ignorance, and the cardinal's demagoguery will be a great trouble for us. ”

"We only listen to the commander's orders!" said Ralph and Hunn, in fact, they didn't care the most, even if they went to kill the cardinal, there was no psychological pressure.

As a result, as expected by Qin Song, as long as he is not blind, he can judge who is right and who is wrong.

"Since the other party chose to salute first and then soldier, we will also salute in return. Qin Song slowly pulled up his hood, his eyes were jumping, and his expression was solemn: "The greatness of the majestic Krem, no one can shake it!" Leah, Weima, Ralph, immediately prepare for battle, and the rest of the people, give me together, to hold a welcome ceremony for this uninvited guest." ”

"Welcome ceremony?" Luna asked curiously, "Qin, do you want to go in person?"

Wisdom is never afraid of confrontation, let alone slander. Withdrawing is not the habit of the children of the stars. No one can deny the civilization we have created and the achievements we have made!"

"Leah, go and greet him. I, on the other hand, were looking forward to a special meeting. ”

There is a difference between the host and the guest, as the doppelganger of the gods, taking the initiative to greet a mere bishop, which is insulting and majestic. Moreover, in order to completely control this cardinal, it will take some preparation.

"Good!"

Qin Song personally stepped out and gave everyone a reassurance. The gloom brought by the cardinal was swept away.

......

"Bless me, O Holy Lord, that some evil may retreat, hide, and roll back into its dark lair, to be in the company of ugly serpents, and to devour the dirt all day long. ”

With his feet on the land of the Black Stone, Cardinal Marderland, as far as his eye could see, was a vast expanse of wasteland with three or four farmsteads scattered around—and a strange-looking red complex.

The baptism of the power of the Holy Spirit made him nearly sixty years old, but he did not look old, his waist was straight, his breath was long and powerful, and his eyes were sunken in his sockets, and his divine light was sharp.

From the moment she stepped into the Blackstone Collar, Marderland's spirit was highly focused, not letting go of any detail she saw. Since he dared to go to the meeting alone, in addition to his self-confidence, he also undertook the secret instructions issued by another church.

Bang!

Gently tapping the staff, the golden sphere inlaid on the claw rest at the top of the staff looked like it was made of pure gold, but under the reflection of the sun, under the golden surface, golden ripples suddenly appeared, like an infinite cycle from small to large, constantly radiating.

"Cast away the doubts of your heart, my humble servant. In his head, the voice echoed like a purely mechanical voice: "Great Lord, always watching you." ”

"Azumat is supreme!" Marderan pinched the ornate ruby silver cross on his chest with his hand, "Your servant, get ready." ”

"Go ahead! I sense the smell of evil. The power of omniscience, omnipotence, and victory, always shines on time. The gift of the Lord is the glory of the servant!"
