Chapter 173: Divine First Birth (Fifth Update, Please Subscribe!) )
After the situation in Verona was resolved, Eugen moved out of Verona and came to the front of the defense line to take command and ensure the stability and peace of the entire defense line.
At this time, he also received the news of Dimmit's safe return, and he was naturally very happy in his heart, it was definitely a pity to be able to come out of that kind of place safely, and with Dimmit's help, the Po River defense line would inevitably be more stable.
Due to the impact of the disease, Dirmit's intelligence system has also been dealt a fatal blow, and now even he has no way to gather intelligence south of the defensive line.
However, with his ability, it is not a problem to establish a reliable intelligence system within the defense line, with the help of this intelligence system, the transmission of information between the various parts of the defense line will be greatly accelerated, which is very beneficial to their work.
At the same time, Eugen also heard about the deeds of the Minister of Defense from Dirmit, although Eugen was a little disgusted with the Minister of Defense before, but after hearing about the Minister of Defense's heroic righteousness, he was still a little embarrassed.
After all, the defense minister left all of Italy undefended for two months, but he finally did a good deed when he was dying and invited Eugen out.
Otherwise, we don't know how far things would have been.
In addition, Dirmit briefly mentioned some other things, and Eugen didn't ask much, since these things have passed, there is no need to pursue them, and the most important thing now is now, only by getting through the current difficulties, can we be qualified to talk about other things.
It was during this time that Eugen met an unexpected but reasonable acquaintance---- Father Martin Luther.
At the time of Cosenza's separation, Eugen was a prisoner, while Father Luther was a glamorous priest, because his name even reached the ears of the Pope in the Book of Redemption.
When the Po line met the line, the situation was completely reversed, and Eugen was back in command, in charge of thousands of soldiers, while Father Luther was in shabby, ragged clothes, and looked like a beggar.
No, it's worse than a beggar, because he's a little confused, and it's also because of the Book of Redemption. 、
The irony in this is also sighing.
When he first met Father Luther, Eugen thought he was a confused refugee who wanted to get some advantage from him, so he pretended to deceive him.
It wasn't until his identity was finally confirmed that Eugen said in surprise: "Father Luther, you, how did you become like this, and what did you go through during this time?" ”
Father Luther looked at Eugen with dull eyes, and after leaving Florence, he had been on his way, during which he met a group of robbers, but fortunately the robbers saw that he was a miserable poor madman, and did not trouble him again.
But those shameful robbers tore up the manuscript of the Book of Redemption, which Father Luther had worked so hard to write, and threw the paper and words in the cold winter wind for fun.
Poor Father Luther cried out and chased the scattered paper in the north wind, trying to put them together in vain.
In the end, this incident completely destroyed Father Luther's sanity, the result of months of hard work, the source of his confusion, the fruit of his heart's work, was torn to pieces, and almost made him lose the motivation to live.
In the end, with a completely instinctive force, Father Luther dragged his almost crushed body to the Po River defense line, where he met Eugen, who was there.
Looking at Eugen with a look of concern in front of him, Father Luther's eyes were blank, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he muttered: "Eu... Count Eugen, I beg you to tell me, the world is fundamentally ... Isn't it... Without God, whether... The indulgence was a complete mistake. ”
Because of the confusion of his mind and the confusion of Father Luther's expression, it took Eugen a lot of effort to understand what Father Luther meant.
Eugen fell silent when he heard this, and he suddenly felt a strong sense of guilt, and he had already guessed that he must have asked Father Luther to do what he had done to make him like this.
The truth is indeed precious, but it is often cruel, and it is a terrible torture for Father Luther to be exposed to the truth without being prepared.
Eugen also knew that his answer to this question was very important, and perhaps this was his last chance to save Father Luther.
Whether to give up the truth to save Father Luther, or to insist on the truth and let him continue to go crazy is also an extremely difficult proposition for Eugen.
After pondering for a long time, Eugen finally looked Father Luther in the eye and said, "There is no doubt that Father Luther, the indulgence, is the greatest mistake in the world, and the thing called 'atonement' is itself the greatest sin!" ”
Eugen told the truth in an unwavering voice, and when Father Luther heard this answer, the look in his eyes immediately decayed, like a spark in a cold wind, about to be extinguished.
As a person who has dedicated his life to religion and to God, he really can't accept this cruel truth, he can't accept this world without God.
At this last moment, Eugen suddenly said aloud: "But! Although the indulgence is wrong, it does not mean that there is no God in the world, in fact, Father Luther, you can come out of those places of calamity alive, this is the best proof of God's existence! If we had to ask where God is, it is in each of our hearts, not in those indulgences! ”
These words exploded in Father Luther's mind like thunder, and instantly lit up Father Luther's dark eyes.
The problems he had been struggling with for months, all the knots, were all lifted at this moment! Indeed, indulgences come only from the Pope, not from God, so how can they be said to be a symbol of God?
Just because the indulgences are wrong doesn't mean that God is wrong, but as long as God exists, everything has meaning.
These thoughts flashed quickly in Father Luther's mind, especially Eugen's last sentence---- God pierced Father Luther's mind like an awl in everyone's heart, giving him a feeling of enlightenment.
When I think about my own experiences these days, I have had countless close encounters with diseases, but I have not been infected; always endured hunger and cold, but did not fall; He met a robber, but he was not killed.
All of this, taken together, is the best proof of God's existence!
Something came out of his heart like a clear spring, and at this moment, Father Luther finally became enlightened.
