Chapter 44: Speculation

Rumors can kill. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

At the time, due to the lack of proximity and the fact that Magnus was mostly focused on Odegar, he did not hear the two grooms very clearly.

However, thanks to his 'linguistically proficient' golden finger, albeit intermittently, Magnus was probably able to simulate the conversation between the two grooms, albeit intermittently.

At the same time, it was reaffirmed that this was in no way beneficial to his rule.

Here's what the two grooms said:

"Brother Hansen, why are you so sad?"

"Alas, Brother Abu, you know, one of the brothers of the previous **** died in battle."

"Look at the point, Brother Hansen, as the newly opened priest said, he just went to heaven to be blessed, if I had not died so painfully, I would have gone up and be blessed!"

Then, here comes the point.

The groom, who was called Hansen, suddenly panicked, and his sorrow deepened, but he first turned his head from side to side to make sure that there was no one else nearby, and the two noble nobles were also talking, and they didn't notice this, so he said cautiously.

"Brother Abu, that's what I'm worried about! Two days ago, I entertained a wandering monk - a real monk, as the scriptures say, who did not ask me for anything, but ate a piece of bread and prayed for the blessings of my loved ones - but when the monk heard me about the new priest, he immediately said that it was a devil's disguise! ā€

"Scared! How is that possible?! ā€

Abu was taken aback and hurriedly asked.

"I didn't believe it at first, how could anyone dare the devil to pretend to be a messenger of the great God? But the monk was a well-informed man, and he immediately gave me a few pieces of evidence to convince me. ā€

"This is no small matter, Brother Hansen, and I will hear it if you say it."

"Of course, Brother Abu, I am stupid and I do not remember well what the monk said, so you will listen to it: first of all, we believe in not only the Most High God, but also the Great Savior and His Mother, so the prayer is not 'in the name of the Lord,' but 'in the name of the Father, Our Mother and the Son.'"

"But ......"

Abu didn't understand, but it was just a difference in title, how could he become a devil?

"Don't worry, man, at first I was also unconvinced, but the monk saw that I was still obsessed, and asked me to follow him and recite the scriptures, 'Do not call the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not acquit him if he takes the name of the Lord in vain,' and it took me three times before I realized my mistake."

Abu still didn't understand.

It's normal not to understand, because it's a strong argument. The average peasant is illiterate and uneducated, and the interpretation of a Bible depends on the lips of the clergy. The peasants only had to worship God, but in the church, there were hundreds of schools of thought for different interpretations of the Bible.

Different genres are heretical.

Heretics are ten times more hateful than heretics.

In the Inquisition every year, I don't know how many people are caught in the Inquisition just because of different schools.

This is not only a political disagreement, but also an important means of attacking opponents.

But Hansen's words didn't stop.

"Finally, the monk pointed out to me the most fatal flaw: the devil who disguised himself as a priest wore a purple robe, which in the Church only the archbishop, who presided over an entire country, was qualified to wear; But how could an archbishop come to our place? You know, our abbot, he's just a diocesan bishop! ā€

Abu was obviously blindsided by Hansen's series of words, Hansen's words were methodical, obviously someone taught him, how could those noble and big men be talked about by horsemen like them? Therefore, Abu could only stammer and retort:

"But...... But...... But how is this possible? The new priest is a man for all to see, and he can't be the devil in disguise! ā€

"Brother Abu, why don't you understand!"

Hansen's eyes widened and his hands were waving, as we all saw in the presence of those who thought they had the truth, and it was with such loud voices and exaggerated body movements that they used to gain the trust of others.

"That's the devil! It is said in the Scriptures that the devil is the most cunning, and he is still pretending, and when we believe him completely, he will send us to hell! ā€

When it came to going to hell, Abu couldn't help but shake his body.

It is said that heaven is a land flowing with milk and honey, and when mortals enter heaven, they will no longer have to work or suffer for eternity, but they can enjoy love and happiness in heaven. For those farmers who have endured all their lives on earth and do not even know what honey is, heaven is their only pursuit of life.

He suffered and suffered in life just so that he could go to heaven after death.

But once the devil is pursued, he will go to hell, and his soul will wail in the hot magma, and he will not be able to live beyond the pain of suffering; Besides, since you still have to suffer when you die, aren't all the hardships you endure when you live in this life in vain!

Therefore, when it came to the devil, Abu immediately did not dare to say much, for fear that he would be misunderstood by the heavenly Father and thrown into hell.

At the same time, he also believed a lot in Hansen's words - dare to speak with the devil, if it were not for the fact that he was completely sure, who would dare?!

The monk dared.

After listening to the conversation between the two grooms, Magnus's face turned blue and he immediately knew that there must be something wrong with the monk.

And this Hansen, eighty percent is not clean.

But why?

What's in it for them?

If you want to say Hansen, Magnus can understand, probably the monk gave him the money, which made him work so hard, but what about the monk? Why should a wandering monk corrupt Father Adolphus' reputation with malicious intentions?

Unless, there is someone behind this monk to guide him.

Then, who is guiding?

Magnus only had to close his eyes to this question, and countless answers could pop up in his mind.

The Earl of Brest, King William, or even his ally, King Louis of France, or the surrounding nobles, could ......

But soon, Magnus set his sights on the Count of Brest.

Louis and Magnus were still on their honeymoon, and he had no reason to do so; William was separated by a strait, and he was not so well informed; Only the Earl of Brest, who was originally bent on being a fisherman, was only forced to withdraw his troops because of spring ploughing, and it was really normal to make some small moves in private.

And this is also of great benefit to him, once the peasants are convinced that Father Adolphus is the devil, then who is Magnus who can command the devil?

Beelzebub!

Still a bloodthirsty demon king!

Magnus had a bad reputation in Brittany, and if he was so slandered, the peasants who were afraid of going to hell would voluntarily rebel without the instigation of the Count of Brest.

…… Of course, these are all speculations, and it is necessary to arrest the monk and interrogate him carefully.

Speaking of arresting, it was not an easy task in the Middle Ages, especially if it was necessary to catch a wanderer whose whereabouts were uncertain, and Brittany was still a place with mountains.

As long as he goes to a random nest in a mountain, it is common for him to not find it for ten or eight years.

Luckily, Magnus has a 'tongue' here.

The rumor-mongering Hansen.
