Chapter 138: The Sage and the Devil (3)
"Redemption, what do you mean by salvation?" the black-robed man asked anxiously, grabbing the monk by the collar. He had no interest in whether he could be redeemed or not, but he could not care less about the other person mentioned by the monk.
The monk raised his hand at the center of the garden, and the flat ground suddenly cracked, and a cold crystal coffin rose from the ground. The coffin was covered with countless blooming flowers, and a blonde beauty lay quietly surrounded by flowers.
Her long golden hair curled slightly seemed to flow from the sun, her full lips were as rosy as roses, her neck was tied with an elegant and flawless pure white ribbon, and she wore a moon-white pleated dress with lace ruffles that looked elegant and noble with a bit of innocent playfulness.
Her eyes were closed and her face flushed, as if she was just taking a spring nap among the flowers. The black-robed man just glanced at the coffin, and his heart seemed to be pinched and crushed fiercely, and the blood was dripping and hurting into the bone marrow. He knew what a cruel tragedy lay behind this beautiful gesture.
He was so sad and angry that he forgot the wounds on his body, forgot that his whole body was weak, and grabbed the monk by the collar, and lifted him to the ground with his feet at once.
"How dare you?"
The monk allowed the black-robed man to lift his feet off the ground, and with his usual peaceful smile on his face, he took the black-robed man's hand and said, "Come, William, sit down, and speak in front of Catherine." ”
William threw the monk to the ground without saying a word.
The monk himself stood up, patted his sleeve, and sat down on the big rock, "If you want to save Catherine, sit down and listen to me." ”
William gave the monk a deep look, and sat down at a stone near the coffin. "Say what you want, I won't believe you, a hypocrite. ”
"The glory of the Lord is being tested like never before. As you say, the infidels have reached the city of Constantinople. But the crisis is far more than that, and if you want to protect the city for the Lord, His Majesty the current Emperor cannot do it. I know that there have been people who have begun a secret plot to overthrow His Majesty, and that he may be able to protect the city, but after that, the swelling royal power will surely detract from the glory of the Lord. Whether this war is won or lost, the divine light of this land will no longer shine. ”
William listened silently, not only did he have no interest in it, but he was also bored. But he knew that the person in front of him would not say what he really cared about until he finished saying this. So, until then, he was willing to endure a little.
The monk continued to speak in his characteristic tone, as if he were preaching, as if he were speaking.
"His Holiness the Pope has misinterpreted the will of the Lord, and the land where the true believer is in such a cruel test, and it is for this reason that the Lord has shown us the way. What you hold in your hands is a unique and true "canon", which is the gathering of the faith of countless believers and has unimaginable power. It appeared in this Constantinople at such a time, and I found it, and O the Lord recognized my piety, and showed me the way. Thou art the chosen one of the Lord, and thou shalt go to the east, and with my brother Peter, thou shalt preach the glory of the Lord throughout the land. ”
William's patience was finally exhausted, "When will your crazy talk end?"
"You've already experienced the power of the canon, haven't you? only this power can destroy the devil in you and lift Catherine's curse. ”
William did deeply appreciate the power of that power, and although he did not fully believe the monk's words, he believed most of them, "Then why don't you do it now, why don't you lift the curse immediately?"
The monk did not seem to hear William's questioning, and continued: "My brother Peter tells me that one of the heretics we have been tracking for a long time has infiltrated the empire in the East, and has been rewarded by the emperor there. The brothers Peter, in order to defend the glory of the Lord, are fighting fiercely against heresy. You need to join the Brotherhood of Peter with the "canon" and let the glory of the Lord spread across the land of the East. ”
"What does all that you have to do with lifting the curse? Do you want me to do this for you to lift the curse on Catherine? ”
"No, I don't know enough about the Canon to have it lift the curse on Catherine. The "canon" remained here either at the hands of the infidels or at the hands of the king, and if it went west, it would fall into the hands of His Majesty the Pope, and at that time he would have completely perverted the will of the Lord and become the greatest heresy. Only the East is the only way out, and only you can break through the pagan blockade to the East. And my brother Peter is the most profound study of the Canon in the world, and because of your deeds the Lord will bless you and Catherine by his hand. Only so, only so, this is the only way to lift the curse. ”
William sneered, "I understand, I finally understand." You know that you hypocrites are about to be destroyed, so you want me to take this thing to the East and leave it in the fire, and the reward is to remove the curse for Catherine. Hahaha, does the all-knowing and all-powerful Lord want to use the power of my devil? ”
The monk turned a deaf ear to this ridicule and said to William sincerely: "All things are the will of the Lord, and the light of the Lord will eventually spread over the whole earth." William, this is the best way to do it. I beg you to promise me. ”
"Not only have you put your sister in this desperate situation, but now you are even using her life, your hypocrisy is disgusting. But I promised you, tell me what to do. William immediately made a decision and agreed without hesitation, he has tried countless methods over the years, although he doesn't want to believe it, but his heart is actually close to despair, this may be the last straw, even if he hates the person in front of him, even if he is reluctant, he has to give it a try.
The monk's face was filled with joy, and he pulled out a small cross and a fine map from his bosom. He laid the map on a large rock, pointed to a red line on it, and said to William: "You see, this is the route taken by the Peters brothers back then, the previous section has been cut off by the infidels army, you can take a detour this way, this road will pass through a desert that cannot be crossed by humans, but if it is you, you can definitely do it with the power of the devil." After crossing the desert, you can return to the route of the Peter brothers, and I will tell you the code of contact, this little cross is a token, where you can contact the believers developed by the Peter brothers. ”
"What about you? You can do it with your ability. Why did you come to beg me?" William still had a slight doubt in his heart.
"I'm a human after all, and your devil's body and strength are the best fit for this. Don't you understand that it can save you and Catherine and spread the glory of the Lord? This is the gift of the Lord, this is the will of the Lord, and you are the ones who are blessed by the Lord. And I will stay here, whether it is the army of the infidels or the suppression of the royal power, I will guard this land for the Lord until the last moment. ”
