Pierrot. The Medici, that is, the Madu brothers, of course, wanted to live, but unfortunately he was infected, and even after hundreds of years, there was a possibility of an incurable disease, the bacteria from the shellfish were menacing, and the monks tried their best, praying, bowels and soldering irons, but there was no other use than adding more pain to the Madu brothers, and after thinking about it for a while, the abbot gave him a white powder from Rome, which could be applied externally or internally, It can treat almost most existing diseases and is very valuable. This powder made the Madu's condition improve for a while, but in the middle of the night on the third day he began to swell and convulsions again, and the monks, seeing this, anointed him with holy oil, lest he die suddenly and have no time to perform the sacraments.

The greasy touch on his forehead woke him up, and he opened his eyes in the candlelight, which shone red like the devil in hell, and he didn't know where he got the strength, and he screamed sharply, claiming that someone was going to murder him, and almost stabbed a monk who cared for him with a candlestick, and the abbot of the monastery hurriedly got up from his bed and rushed into Mato's room, which was simple but spacious enough, with the windows open and the sea breeze bringing darkness and coolness.

The abbot saw what was going on with Matuk, who had been a busy priest before he became abbot of the monastery, and had seen countless dying people, most of whom were very peaceful and peaceful, but there were also those who were unwilling to face anything because of the fear of death, and their end was often very sad.

"God is calling you," said the dean, boldly bending down to the ears of the Madok brothers, "Go back to his feet, don't be afraid, you're just going home." ”

"Don't say it...... Don't say these stupid things...... to deceive me. Brother Mado's eyes protruded dangerously, his teeth rattled, and the dean took a step back, it was clear that if something was bitten by Brother Madu, it would be impossible not to shatter: "My home...... In Florence. ”

"Every man has a home to go back to," said the dean, "Quiet, my brother, I will have more brothers come and chant for you, will you repent?" Brother Mado, I'm listening. ”

When he said this, Matuk said nothing, and he looked up at the blue-black rock roof, at the traces of gray-white salt water flowing over the walls, and at the blackened candlesticks, where he had spent so many years that he had almost forgotten his life in Florence, but fortunately he remembered his enemies! Every name had rubbed between his teeth countless times, and he could never return to Florence or avenge himself...... Those who should be cursed by the devil, they are prosperous, all the best, but let such an innocent and good person suffer so many sins!

He didn't speak, and the dean had to go back to his room, but even if it was still hours before the morning prayer came, he couldn't sleep peacefully, he always felt as if he had forgotten something important, and as if he was being watched by a greedy devil, and he felt chills in his body, he got up, summoned his assistants, and a few trustworthy monks, and asked the Madu brothers about the previous situation, but they couldn't recall anything, as far as they could see, the Madu brothers were already very pious, "After all, Brother John is by his side, Brother John is so virtuous and so pure, even if he is a truly wicked person, he must be touched by him. ”

The dean's original intention was also here, but Brother Madu's performance today did not look like a repentant person, his eyes were so vicious, and there was even poison splattered from his teeth.

He also inquired about the brothers and the monks who accompanied him, but could not find anything to worry him about, for he and the monks were trustworthy and of good character, and that the brothers had the strength of Samson (the strong man of the Bible) to carry the two precious books with him and to ensure that they were not damaged.

And just as they were about to disperse, a monk rushed in and said that the Madu brothers were dying.

This time everyone could see that poor Matthu had indeed run out of oil, that he was too weak to have the strength to prevent the people from anointing him with holy oil and throwing holy water, or rather, that he had at last understood that he was at last going on the road of no return, and he told the abbot that he was going to repent, and the abbot let the others go out and sit on the edge of his bed: "Say, brother Mattot," he said, "I listen, and God is listening." ”

“…… I...... I repent of the sins I have committed. Ma Du said dryly, but there was only one sentence.

The dean waited for a while, and couldn't help but be surprised, although the content of the confession was not demanding, but it was tantamount to perfunctory, and he had to remind: "Is that it, Brother Madu?" ”

"What else do you want me to say?" Madok replied viciously, "The Lord has forgiven me!" ”

"I can't," said the dean solemnly, "because I haven't heard you make a sincere confession." ”

Matu's throat made a heaving sound, I don't know whether it was cursing or mocking, but the dean was unmoved, and after a moment of hesitation, Matuk said something intermittently, but these things were committed in Florence when he was a teenager, and it was not a big deal, and he did not say a word about his actions in 1494, and the dean, who was also very aware of the accident, could not help but feel a trace of anger, after all, he was also a Florentine, "You still have a sin not to mention, brother." He said coldly.

There was silence in the room again, Matuk didn't think he had done anything wrong at that time, Charles VIII always had to go back to France, why should he become the governor of Florence? He was the prince of Florence, who had been betrayed by the unscrupulous merchants and prostitutes, and had been banished here, to be accompanied by hard labor in exchange for shabby shelter and shabby food, and now he was going to die, silently, and yet he was threatened with his duty.

Matuk was reluctant to admit it, but the abbot was unexpectedly firm, and after another two or three hours, the monks came in to replace the burned-out candles, and he finally opened his mouth to confess what he had done in 1494.

The dean sighed softly, he was no longer young, he felt so tired after a long night's stay that his back was even more clattering, he stood up, and wanted to open his mouth to forgive the Madu brothers for their previous sins, but he was startled by his strange expression.

An extremely strange smile appeared on Ma Tu's face, and it seemed that he was trying to restrain himself, but in vain, "Is there anything else you have to say?" The dean asked.

"What else?" Madu muttered.

"You must have said something," said the dean, "for I will forgive you on God's behalf." ”

"Yes, God will always forgive me," said Mado, his eyes suddenly shining, his limbs gaining strength, and he struggled to lift his body up, and laughed merrily: "Do you remember our brother Johan? ”

The dean's heart slammed.

——————————————

John was an outcast, and when the dean picked him up in the sea, he was wrapped in fine linen swaddling clothes, but without any marks or life, and he had grown older than other children since he was a baby, and could eat the juice of an ewe at every meal, and when he grew up, he ate as much as an adult, and in contrast, his strength was far greater than that of any man, and he was as tall as a brown bear, and some speculated that he might be the illegitimate son of a knight and a noble woman, and it stands to reason that He deserves to be well arranged, but his parents seem to feel that it is better to let God make the decision than to add to their troubles later.

He grew up in the convent in this way, and when he grew up, the abbot and the monks realized that his mind was not proportional to his body, maybe the bastard was originally a curse, he was a little dull and naïve, but he was better than piety and goodness, so the abbot let him go to Pierrot. The Medici went around because he wouldn't be because of Pierrot. The Medici's former status and submission to his power, money, and threats would not have been as deliberately tormented and humiliated as some monks who hated worldly powers as much as they hated the devil.

But he should also think that the cleaner things are, the more likely they are to be contaminated.

Earlier, Pierrot. The Medici, that is, the Mado brothers, did not understand what kind of person Jose was, he seduced and intimidated Jose, and he was also frustrated when he found that both methods were ineffective, but later, he found that Jose was like a blank sheet of paper without writing, and in this case, he did not hesitate to take over Josehan's second education - after Julio. The lesson that the Medici gave him, Pierrot finally began to use his brain, he understood that under the watchful eye of the dean, it was impossible to explicitly provoke Johan to do things for him, but Johan's piety gave him a chance that he could not be better - a person with such piety could never tolerate people being deceived by a devil.

Julio. Wasn't the Medici a devil? He was born to his father dead, he was not married to Giulio's mother, he was born with double sins, he had serpentine yellow eyes, he had a devilish face, he had a bifurcated tongue and a filthy soul, but mortals could not see this, they were deceived by his hypocritical appearance, they thought he was a holy man, and they lifted him up to high places.

He is only doing evil in secret, which is invisible to the ignorant, but as long as the wise are willing to see, can't they see how he is leading people into the abyss of depravity step by step? Look at those mirrors, look at those cashmeres, look at those bright colors and quirky tools? And the kind of coffee called "coffee", which is as black as the mire of purgatory, emitting steaming smoke, which is said to be invigorating, but in fact makes people think of some blasphemy, isn't it not a drink that only the devil is keen on?

And with him, what kind of depraved people, Borgia's notoriety, even on a remote island, the monks have heard of it, let alone the warlocks, witches and spirits, how can he be a priest, how can he win a battle against an army as strong as Charles VIII, is it not because he can summon demons from hell?

And he said that on behalf of St. John he could bless the ignorant people from the plague of smallpox, but is this true, and if so, why didn't the saints do it? How is it possible that he is greater than the saints, the only answer is that in this way he marks the undetermined people, so that the devil may tempt them.

It was also the abbot's negligence on the part of the other monks, because John was not the kind of person who liked to have contact with the outside world, so they rarely talked to him about outside things, and he didn't know about Giulio at all. What kind of person was the Medici, and the long-term simple life made him not know how to identify, analyze and select, Pierrot. After becoming a brother to Mado, the Medici always behaved very reverently with him, and for this reason, he was willing to trust Matuk and give Matuk the opportunity to inject the terrible venom into his heart.

Matu's original plan was to convince John that he was innocent and framed, so that he could escape with the help of Matu, but as soon as he heard about it, Julio . When the Medici might become His Excellency the Pope and become the master of Christendom, he went mad with jealousy, and he said to himself that even if he gave up his life, he would see the retribution of the devil who had harmed him.

So he did.

————————

The monks who were waiting outside suddenly heard a cry full of anger and pain from the room, and they thought it was the last cry from the Madu brothers, but their abbot slammed the door and rushed out, his face was pale, his lips trembled, and he could hardly speak, and after a long while, he asked in a hoarse voice, "What about Johan?" What about John? Where is Johan? ”

The monks were surprised: "John has been in Rome for three whole days. They said, "Didn't you let him go?" ”

"Stop him," the dean cried out bitterly, "stop him...... He's going to ...... Going to ......"

——————————

John held up the Bible in his hand, weighing about seventy pounds, the weight of twenty maces, with a heavy gold edge, a tough calfskin cover of the hand-copied Bible, catalyzed by astonishing speed, with a terrible humming sound, towards Julio. Medici, Pope Clement VII slammed down.

This blow was enough to shatter the head of an adult man.
