Chapter 793: Self-Proclaimed Holy Maiden?
"My lord, there's Gramie ahead, but we'll have to get over that defensive ravine first."
"Defend the ravine?" Mu Feng did see it, but because of the topography, he didn't see how deep and varied the ravine was.
At the mention of this, Bertrand was a little confused: "Well, that ravine has been dug since the saint was a child. It is said that when she was a child, the sister of the saint was insulted by the invaders of the Eagle Kingdom and finally killed. Since then, the locals have dug a long, deep, and wide defensive trench around the village. As the area of invasion expanded, the gully continued to extend, and now it has spread far away......"
"Damn these bastards, they're too inhumane, insults are insults, why do you want to kill people and bring them back to be wives?" Hestia waved her little hand angrily.
Beltrond was dumbfounded, this demon's thinking is different from that of humans. This, in this case, who would dare to take it back to be a wife? Wouldn't that be the case every night with the fear of being assassinated? Moreover, in the eyes of the people of the Eagle Country, they are inferior to the French, how can they ......
Mu Feng also has a little pain, in the world of demons, women, especially beauties, are basically competing for each other's wealth. Insults are staged almost every day, every moment, and in every place. However, it is rare to insult and play and kill after the killing. In this alone, demons seem to be much better than humans.
I remember a famous person said a sentence, I forgot the original words, the original meaning is: the human heart is the most evil, and human beings are the most evil demons!
That's true.
After the horse approached, Mu Fengcai's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "You...... Are you sure the villagers dug it themselves? ”
Damn, this is worse than the Berlin Wall in later generations, right?
This depth, this width, this length...... Oh, the length doesn't see the edge for the time being.
But the shallowest depth is two meters, and most of it is below two meters. The width, even more than three meters, no horse can jump. Moreover, this is only a small village, and it is not an important military target, and it is impossible to transport large capture aircraft. This chasm is enough to defend against the Eagle Nation people who invade from the border.
, this ...... It's not a fortification anymore, it's an earthquake from Nima, right?
Moreover, the most ruthless thing is that there are still some sharp gravel and wooden stakes in this ravine, and they will definitely die if they fall down.
"Huh?"
To be honest, Bertrand hadn't really seen it up close, the last time they passed through it was three years ago, when the ravine wasn't so majestic.
"My lord, let's take a detour, stay here, it's easy to be targeted."
"What?"
Bertrand pointed into the distance: "Look, my lord, there is a guard tower over there, and it is full of skilled players in long-range shooting. Within fifty meters, there are enough threats. It is said that the last time a small group of mercenaries tried to invade, they were shot outside the ravine, right here. ”
"yes, why didn't I see the body?"
Mu Feng calculated carefully, the tower not far away, the attack range of fifty meters. Every two seats are just right, connecting each other's fan-shaped attack rings, leaving no gaps. Moreover, the size of the tower is not small, it can accommodate up to six people. If two people hold shields and four people have bows and arrows, unless they are medium-sized or above, mercenary groups with weapons of mass destruction can be stormed.
"Your Excellency, you're kidding, this neighborhood is full of mountains and forests, and there are wild beasts in it. They don't need to collect the corpse at all, and they can gnaw all the bones in less than three days. ”
"Perfect strategy." Mu Feng praised, "But is it really just a small village, it can be done?" Also, how can there be so many good players in a small village? I'm not surprised that I'm good at putting together a tower, but ...... Looking at the past, there were at least five or six towers, right? You know, it's just a small village! ”
"It's not because of the saint!"
"Holy Maiden? How so? ”
"Everyone else is questioning the identity of the saint, but Grami's people are convinced. It is said that since Jeanne proclaimed herself a saint, there have been many 'miracles'. ”
"What miracle? Also, the 'holy woman' she calls herself? ”
Mu Feng's brows furrowed slightly, is this just weighing? The saint must be believed and praised by everyone, and finally canonized by the church before it will come true. What is the difference between a self-proclaimed one and a 'cult'?
Oh, Mu Feng understood, no wonder the later church could not tolerate Joan of Arc in their eyes.
Since ancient times, the Holy See has been a sacred place representing God. And the pope, so to speak, is the representative of God in the world, and the oracles of a qiē are all announced by the pope. Joan of Arc called himself a saint without being baptized, canonized, or approved by the Pope, which must have affected his authority.
One may wonder why God sent a saint and did not sue the church, isn't that ...... Does God no longer trust the Church, then the Pope...... It's not the Pope.
Therefore, for the sake of power, status, and faith, the Holy See will turn Joan of Arc into a witch. In this way, a witch canonizes herself as a saint, and that is blasphemy against God. And those unwarranted suspicions will be dispersed with the wind.
"I don't know very well!"
"Reborn with a severed limb?"
Bertrand smiled bitterly: "My lord, the saint does not have such great divine power in the world, how can she be reborn with a broken limb." But I heard that there was an old man who had been blind for many years, and he was able to see magically overnight. A man who was seriously ill was healed overnight, and so on. ”
"Oh?"
"And the next day, when the people were out for a busy day, Jeanne suddenly appeared and declared that she was a saint sent by God to lead the French people on the road to freedom."
"That's it, and they believed?" Mu Feng was a little surprised, "You haven't said anything else, have you?" ”
Bertrand smiled: "Worthy of the Divine Envoy, indeed!" I don't know if it's true or not. Legend has it that behind Jenny, people saw a burning phantus that seemed to be the image of the archangel Gabriel. That's why Gremie's people believe Jenny from the bottom of their hearts. ”
Gabriel again?
Could it be that this miracle is really a ghost done by Feng Feifei?
If Feng Feifei really appeared here a few years before him, she should be able to control the power of 'Feng', right? The phoenix is a divine bird reborn from the ashes, and no one can regenerate the ability to be reborn. It's just that they're blind and seriously ill, and it's not a big problem for them.
So, Feng Feifei is creating a 'holy woman'?
Then why didn't Jenny change her name to Joan of Arc? However, he had no time to think.
A sharp arrow, with a 'whoosh', broke through the air and was nailed in front of the horse's shoe.
"The person opposite, warning, forbidden to approach, otherwise...... Lawfully kill on sight! ”
