A spiritual man can see through everything, but no one can see through him. —1 Corinthians

——————————————————————————————————————————————————

"Bishop, I do it." Giulio said he knew he might be being reckless, something that a six-year-old with no education would have thought of. But after he has become a disciple of Picromini, if Bishop Picromini is unfortunately detained by the Inquisition on the charge of heresy, or as a witch, even if the bishop can finally be pardoned because of his family's power and the money for atonement, or if he declares his innocence, he will inevitably bear a stain that cannot be shaken off, and such a pawn will only be abandoned by his family and those who once valued him, and will never turn over, because if he resists a little, the charges of today will be poured on his head like asphalt— Then, as his disciple, Giulio will inevitably be left in the dust, no matter how much Lorenzo loves and pities his brother's son, Giulio. The Medici would end up living a boring life as a prodigal child, and at worst they would be held hostage by the Medici in some dealings, or used by other families as a tool to mock and threaten other Medici.

"He who tells lies will perish," the bishop's gaze became more and more acute: "Son, only heretics will speak the words of the devil in the name of the Lord." ”

"Present ......" the child leaned forward, and Bishop Picromini looked at the eyes, and before he could even perceive his knees, right in front of Giulio, for the little Medici sat in a high-backed chair, taller than he knelt, and his tender and round knees touched his chest, and the bishop folded his hands on Giulio's little hand that Giulio had placed on the book, "One of the twelve apostles, Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests. Julio read softly, "He said, I give him to you, and you will give me as much as you want." So they gave him thirty pieces of silver. ”

From that time on, he looked for an opportunity to deliver Jesus to them. Bishop Picromini continued, and then he skipped the middle paragraph: "Jesus said to them, Arise, let us go, for my betrayer is near." ”

"While he was speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and many with him swords and clubs, from the chief priests and from the elders of the people."

"The betrayer of Jesus gave them a sign, saying, 'Whoever I kiss is him, and you can take him.' Then Judas came to Jesus and said, 'Please Rabian,' and kissed him. ”

"Jesus said to him, 'Friend, do what you have come to do.'" So the men came forward and laid their hands on Jesus. At this point, Bishop Picromini closed his eyes and seemed to have seen how he had been betrayed and taken by the unrighteous. Although as a bishop he will not be tortured and tortured, the people behind him will only have to prove that he is guilty - they are not destroying his body, but his spirit - those civilians who are found guilty of serious crimes may have the opportunity to repent, penance and return to the Church, let alone a Picomini, but if he is found to have been deliberately tempted by the devil to leave the flock of God, even if he can return to the Church, he will never have the honor of being reappointed bishop. He could not even become a priest, he had to become an ascetic and spend his entire life in some deserted monastery.

Those who do not want a Picromini to wear an all-white robe (note 1) will not miss this opportunity, not only but his family.

He raised his head, and the child also lowered his head at the same time to look at the old man who still retained a trace of compassion, maybe it was not for the close connection between them, he would also give warnings and reminders, after all, in this era of ignorance and absurdity, it is really rare to have a person who knows how to learn and think.

The bishop took the child's hand, his hand was thin, his skin was wrinkled like satin, and it made a rustling sound when rubbed, the fingers were slender and the palm was wide, Giulio's hand could be stored in the palm of his hand, and his skin burned like a soldering iron: "This is the Lord saving me," he said in a hoarse voice, "just as an angel descended before Lot of Sodom, and before Anarau the Jebusite, and before Cornelius of Caesarea." ”

Wait a minute! Giulio withdrew his hand expressionlessly, I risk being burned at the stake to save a scholar who still has the will and ability to continue to study medicine in this age of gloom and ignorance, not so that the Lord can get his pious servant! Anyway, that noble existence already has enough fans and sisters, and there is no need for another one at all!
