Chapter 118: Luther's Mission
"Hehe, since history has chosen you, then I will choose you too." Eugen flipped through the list of priests, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
Eugen sat in his office in the castle of Thundertown, thinking about how he could help Father Martin Luther fulfill his historic mission to bring about the Reformation.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the door, and it sounded as if someone was about to break into the room.
Interrupted by his train of thought, Eugen frowned, and said rather unhappily: "What's going on outside, why is it so noisy!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice in a priest's robe suddenly pushed open the door and stumbled in, followed by two guards, whose faces were a little terrified.
"I'm sorry, sir. The priest said he wanted to see you, but also said that he was your friend, and we could not stop him, so he rushed in. The guard explained, and hurried forward to drag the reckless priest out.
Eugen looked at the priest with interest, thinking that it could not be such a coincidence.
The priest hurriedly raised his head and said, "It's me, Count Eugen, I'm Father Martin Luther, don't you remember me?" We've seen it in Kasselburg. ”
The young face, with bright but sly eyes, was none other than Father Martin Luther.
Eugen was happy, this really said that Cao Cao Cao was here, and he hadn't figured out how to contact Martin Luther, but he didn't expect him to run over by himself.
Seeing that the priest seemed to know Eugen well, the guards stopped and looked at Eugen with a look of confusion.
Eugen waved his hand and said, "Yes, he does know me, you should step back first." ”
The two guards respectfully agreed, then turned and walked out of the room.
Father Martin Luther breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the guards depart, and turned his head to look at Eugen with a flattering smile.
Eugen was still thinking about how to calculate him just now, but now he was staring at him in a cold sweat, and hurriedly said: "Hey, Father Martin, why did you come to Thunder City, it seems that you are still a little embarrassed. ”
Before the priest met Eugen, he was still a little apprehensive, not knowing what attitude Eugen would have towards him. Now seeing that Eugen was still so approachable, no different from the beginning, he said with a big grin: "Hey, don't mention it, after separating from Kasselburg with you that day, I accidentally offended a big man in the local parish, and I didn't dare to stay any longer, so I came here." ”
"Oh?" Eugen was overjoyed when he heard this, what he wanted was for Martin Luther to not get along in the church, and only in this way could he be led to dislike the current church system and make him take changing the church as his goal in life.
After thinking about it, Eugen then asked, "Then how did you find me, and what is the matter with me?" ”
Martin Luther originally looked angry, but when he heard Eugen's question, he immediately changed his appearance, and said with a cheap smile: "That's right, on the way, I heard that there was a disaster in this place, so I thought of coming here to sell a few indulgences to earn some money." But after I came, your guards didn't let me in, and I heard that you are now the commander here, so I thought I'd come to ask you for convenience. ”
Martin Luther looked at Eugen with a begging gaze as he spoke, and then said, "If you help me, I can give you a few indulgences for free, you know, these are good things, they can make ......"
"I'm not interested in any of this!" Before Martin Luther could finish speaking, Eugen interrupted impatiently, his tone very stiff.
Martin Luther was stunned when he heard this, felt that Eugen was a little angry, and immediately said in a panic: I'm sorry, Lord Eugen, I apologize for my offense, please forgive me, I'll leave. ”
He is actually very afraid of Eugen now, after all, in the land of Italy, Eugen can be said to be powerful, and no one dares to offend him directly.
"No, no, no, Father Luther, you misunderstood me." Eugen suddenly turned to a laugh and continued: "You didn't offend me, I said that I was not interested in indulgences, but I am very interested in you. ”
Father Martin Luther turned his body stiffly when he heard this, looked at Eugen blankly, and said in horror: "Me? Don't be kidding, Count Eugen, don't you all have Princess Maria? ”
Eugen was also stunned when he heard this, and reacted after a while, and immediately said with anger: "Damn, who do you think Lao Tzu is?" I mean I have something I want you to do for me, not something interesting to you, you idiot. ”
After being scolded by Eugen, Martin Luther became happy, and turned to look at Eugen excitedly and asked: "That's good, Lord Eugen, you can do whatever you want, as long as you say it, I will definitely do it all for you." ”
Full-time priests are generally quite serious, and can even be said to be a little old-fashioned, but this Martin Luther idea is more jumpy, which is very in line with Eugen's requirements.
"Ahem, well, you stay here first, I want you to contact the other priests here to find out how they are doing, especially which priests are buying and selling indulgences." Eugen said in a deep voice that he wanted Martin Luther to be more serious when he was doing his business.
Unexpectedly, Martin Luther looked stunned and refused Eugen's order.
"I'm sorry, Lord Eugen. I can do things for you, but you can't make me rebel against my Lord, and if you're going to make me a vile informer, then I'm sorry! Martin Luther was righteous, and his body stood straight, and he looked a little more majestic.
Eugen didn't expect to get such an answer, and he was a little surprised, and couldn't help but look at Martin Luther more. This Martin Luther may have a strange personality, but he was not stupid, especially since he was a Christian and was particularly sensitive to the word "betrayal."
"No, I think you are mistaken, Father Luther. I don't mean you to betray anyone, I just think that your act of buying and selling indulgences is very meaningful, so I would like to ask you to investigate the situation and then write it down and write it down as a book. ”
Eugen said calmly, he was clearly lying, but there was no unnatural expression on his face, but it seemed that he had good intentions, but was misunderstood by Martin Luther.
When Martin Luther heard Eugen's explanation, he suddenly realized: "Oh, I see, I'm sorry Lord Eugen, but I was wrong." Since you mean well, then I will definitely do what you arranged. ”
Eugen nodded, still smiling, and said, "Okay, then you go first, and tell me if you need anything." ”
