Chapter 39 POV: Deng Yuhan The Devil's Contract
Although Deng Yuhan had received too much shock today, he felt that even if Satan was standing in front of him and smiling at him and asking for conversion, he would not be even more surprised, but this proposal still made him ecstatic, after all, this was the purpose of his coming to this ancient country.

And the Mr. Liu Xu in front of him, whether he is an angel or a devil, as long as he is willing to help him preach, it is in the interest of the Lord, and it is his ally.
But he was still a little incredulous, and he asked, in a tentative, cautious tone, "Is what you say true?" Are you really willing to help us spread the glory of the Lord? ”
"It is inevitable, the will of the Lord must be carried out, and his kingdom will come." Liu Xu's expression was solemn, and his words were deep, which made people can't help but believe that what he said and did was the truth.
"But you must also understand that if I cannot fulfill my wishes, I will not be able to help you. My plan to achieve a very high political status in this kingdom within ten years, and to exercise legitimate authority over this ancient kingdom, is very important not only to me, but also to the spread of Catholicism. ”
"So," Liu Xu concluded, "we are in the same boat, I help you to preach, you help me, help each other, mutual benefit and win-win, it's that simple." ”
Hearing Liu Xu say that he had a request for himself, Deng Yuhan was a little relieved, since the other party had a request for himself, he would not turn his face immediately. And if it is really as Liu Xu said, they can benefit each other, which is undoubtedly very beneficial to the church.
But what does he need? Is it the blood of a virgin, or an ancient magic circle, or a crystal skull?
Deng Yuhan has already made up his mind, no matter what kind of existence the other party is, as long as he can spread the glory of the Lord, then he might as well promise him first - anyway, when the end comes, the Lord will judge everything, and at that time, no matter what evil ways will be punished, and his own merits will be judged fairly and reasonably.
And the act of using the other party to proselytize is a manifestation of the superior wisdom of a servant of God!
Thinking like this, Deng Yuhan suddenly found that he was profitable, which made him both excited and a little curious, so he boldly asked, "What do you need?" I still have a lot of friends in the church who can help me a lot, including some lost black magic and ancient magic items. ”
"No, no, no, my dear friend, I don't need those rags."
This sentence made Deng Yuhan's heart sink to the bottom, it was obvious that the other party's mana was far beyond his imagination, and those utensils that were hidden in the Holy See and kept secret could not attract the other party's attention.
"I want your science and technology, such as physical principles, mathematical knowledge, astronomical knowledge, and I also have a lot of technology to exchange with you, we can trade fairly, if you can bring enough technology to me, I will donate a lot of property to the church, more than you can believe. Also, I would like to hire a group of God's soldiers to fight and train new recruits for me, and I promise to provide them with good remuneration and good working conditions, and they will receive several times the previous salary and good room for advancement, and in addition to the soldiers, experienced seamen, craftsmen, shipwrights, and captains are what I need, and I will entertain them with ten times the salary! ”
"You, is that all you need?" Deng Yuhan suddenly felt a little ecstatic in his heart, he didn't expect that the other party's request would be so easy to meet, a few small science and technology could make him satisfied, and it was not too difficult to help recruit seafarers and soldiers, after all, because the European continent was narrow and densely populated, there were too many professionals who went to foreign countries to find opportunities to make a fortune, and they could also use this opportunity to enhance their influence in China.
There is no doubt that this is an extremely generous deal, so generous that he is completely making money for nothing, and the other party does not seem to feel that he has suffered a big loss.
Deng Yuhan restrained his mind and tried not to show the joy and excitement in his heart, he deliberately made a look of embarrassment: "Oh, it's not impossible, it's just that my influence in China is limited, and I may not be able to meet your requirements." ”
He was full of thoughts that he could get more benefits from his performance.
"My dear sir, remember when I first told you that I hated Protestants?" Liu Xu suddenly changed the subject: "But if you can't meet my needs, then unfortunately, I may have to ask them for help, although there are very few Protestants in China, but this does not mean that there is none, and I am fully capable of mobilizing the students to destroy your church, the reason I have thought of 'hindering indoctrination and corrupting morals'!" ”
The devil shows his claws, the devil shows his minions!
If Deng Yuhan was just suspicious at the beginning, now he doesn't doubt it at all, the smiling young man in front of him is not a human at all, he is a devil hidden in the world, the devil who hides the deepest, the best, the most secretive, and the most superb intelligence!
"Think about it, dear sir, if you promise me that I will give to the Church a great fortune as much as you dare not imagine, and I will build God his palaces on earth, at least twenty, splendid and imposing, all over the country! I will also guarantee that you can convert more than a million people to Catholicism! Think of it, what a feat you can make yourself the supreme religious leader of the entire Far East, and even stand up to your pope by virtue of your exalted position in the Far East! And all this, all this, all you need to do me a small favor, a small to insignificant favor. ”
The young man's smile was still intoxicating, but Deng Yuhan seemed to have seen the other party's invisible wings and the black tail behind him.
"How is it, dear priest? By the way, I have also heard that you and Galileo are very good friends, I have heard about his deeds, and I admire his achievements. If you can turn him over to me, oh, or invite him over, I will provide him with all the laboratory equipment he needs and a good salary, at least five thousand taels a year!" And you, dear priest, will receive five thousand taels of silver for your generous and selfless help! Of course, if you are willing to work for me, use your intellect to help me invent some ingenious utensils, and you will be equally well paid! ”
With threats on one side and lucrative profits on the other, how should he choose?
Deng Yuhan suddenly felt that he had never been so powerless, and he turned his eyes to Father Fei Qi Gui for help, but Father Fei Qi Gui did not look up, he felt like he was dead after asking that sentence, and did not make any sound.
"Lord, I am fighting alone, and I hope that you will be with me, and use your great power to become my ally in this world, and help me overcome the enemy in front of me!" Father Deng Yuhan groaned in his heart all his life, but he had long understood that he had no choice.
With the desire to spread the glory of the Lord on the one hand, and the threat of the destruction of the Church on the other, as a priest known for his wisdom and learning, he knew that he had no choice.
"The servant of God will retreat temporarily, like a fist retracting, but this contraction is premised on the subsequent blow, and the glory of God will surely shine on every inch of the Far East!" Thinking like this, Father Deng Yuhan showed an ugly smile that seemed to cry: "Kind, uh, sir, thank you for your dedication, I promise you!" ”
In this way, the devil went away with the promise he wanted, and he left two thousand taels of silver, one thousand taels for the greeting gift, and the other thousand taels for the passage and settlement expenses for recruiting the crew soldiers. His movements are still so polite, and his smile is still so warm and lovely, but this can't trigger any happiness in Father Deng Yuhan's heart.
"What the hell is he?" Looking at the figure of the other party flying away, Father Deng Yuhan muttered to himself, as if he was asking and answering himself, and seemed to be asking Father Fei Qigui.
"I don't know what he is, but I know it's impossible for us to fight him." Father Fei Qigui's tone was solemn: "Although he is not yet an official official of the Ming Dynasty, according to the strength and wisdom he has shown, I believe that he will take the right to rule this kingdom in ten years, no, in less than ten years." "The old priest was very old, his skin was wrinkled, his breath was faint, but there was a glint of wisdom in his eyes, a gift from God and from time.
"So how do we go about it?"
"Since we can't fight him, let's obey him, and I think we'll gain from it, because even if the devil makes a deal with people, he will give some good."
"But-" Deng Yuhan was a little anxious: "He is," he paused, and continued: "I don't dare to call him anything, I heard that they will all have senses, but I don't think they will be easy to deal with!" Anyone who does business with the devil ends up failing! ”
"But we are different, we are servants of God." The old priest's tone was firm, full of wisdom and courage: "The light of God will help us to defend against all enemies and evil, and as long as we can spread the glory of the Lord in the Far East, we will be righteous of the Lord, even at the end of the day, and at that time, no devil can shake the will of God, what are we afraid of!" ”
"So," the old priest decided, "to meet all his requests, to receive his support and assistance, in this land God needs his help." ”
"Well, your will is my direction." Deng Yuhan nodded helplessly, he looked up at the direction of the other party's departure, the comb outside the door was swaying, and it was making a pleasant sound under the breeze.
