96. Theology
Under the secret ban, even Aldrich Academy could not open a mystical academy openly, and similarly, professors who recruited occult-related courses must also be covered.
Therefore, the so-called occult academy does not exist, at least on the surface, and the professors of the occult academy also have their own superficial identities.
For example, Merlin, whose ostensible identity is a newly recruited professor in the history department of the school, is not entirely false, and Merlin does need to give a few history lessons to ordinary students so that his position as a history professor will not be suspected.
This is not difficult for Merlin, after all, the knowledge of occultism often contains a large number of ancient classics and myths and legends, and a master in the field of occultism often has not much less achievements in history, which is the case with the original owner, and it is not a problem at all to let Merlin, who inherited the memory of the original owner, teach a group of students a history lesson.
Hearing the introduction of the old principal on the stage, Merlin in the audience walked on stage with some reluctance.
As a dead house, he has a slight social phobia, you let him stand on this kind of high-profile podium, he will be very uncomfortable, especially standing on the stage and looking down, a large piece of black pressure under the stage, when everyone is looking at you, this feeling of being in the spotlight Some people will like it very much, but some people will also feel a lot of pressure, and people with slightly worse psychological quality will tremble with their hands and feet, and they can't say anything.
Merlin is the latter.
Fortunately, he has experienced this kind of thing, his psychological quality has been greatly exercised, and what is beating in his chest now is the heart of the demon king, this big heart is extremely powerful, this is the heart of the world, no matter how easy it is to be nervous, it will not be in a hurry, it will always beat unhurriedly, and the heartbeat frequency is stable.
This also made Merlin panic even if he was panicking now, but at least in terms of physical appearance, he was extremely calm and calm.
In order to relieve the tension in his consciousness, Merlin looked away from the students below, and he looked slightly curiously at the nun who had come to the stage with him from the opposite side.
The nun is very beautiful, with three-dimensional facial features, dignified and beautiful appearance, she is wearing a pure white nun dress, her temperament is holy and elegant, which makes people feel a sense of healing in their hearts at a glance, and then they can't help but have a good impression of her.
"Is this a special kind of seduction? My natural affinity is similar to my passive charm, but this kind of image is really suitable for missionary work. ”
Merlin thought to himself.
He himself is a master of charm, he directly ignores the affinity of this nun, he is not affected by the beauty and holiness of the nun, his eyes are still pure and clear, without impurities, as if this beautiful nun is just an ordinary person in his eyes.
He's seen this called Lynn. Elaine's nun's, in this morning's mysterious daily newspaper.
This nun was the one sent by the Templar Church to contain Cynthia, and her position as professor of theology should be a cover-up, as was Merlin's title of professor of history.
This world is not the same as the faithless realm in Merlin's previous life, where almost all the people believe in the Great Lord of the Torch and the human gods under his command, so in order to maintain and guide this faith, theological study is important.
On weekdays, there are priests and priests in the churches in each region who explain theology to the general public and communicate God's will.
In the same way, in the major schools, there are special theology teachers to guide the students in their faith, to ensure that all souls are under the protection of the light of the Lord of the Torch.
Although this sounds like a means for the church to consolidate its position, this is simply brainwashing all mankind, even the children who are still students, it is simply crazy, but after looking through the memories of the original owner and having a certain understanding of the so-called theology, Merlin has to admit that he has lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and the church in this world is really bright.
Although most of the theology still tells myths and stories about the gods, the main moral is not to preach the power of the gods, or that the gods are inviolable, and if you offend the gods, you will not die or anything. Those myths and stories are more to guide people to be positive and good, to encourage people to have hope, and to live a healthy and uplifting life.
In theological theory, gods are not born gods, and they do not do good because they have power, on the contrary, all myths and stories of those powerful gods are ordinary but extremely pure people at the beginning, and it is a certain shining point in their human nature that allows them to gradually grasp the power and eventually become gods.
In short, this theology almost points to the theme that everyone can become a god, and in theology the gods are not so high and untouchable, they are incomparably down-to-earth, as if human beings should be as if they have been perfected after removing all innate inferiority, and are more like heroes than gods.
In Merlin's opinion, such remarks can be said to be blasphemous, but this thing is the church itself on its own initiative.
However, there are some warning stories in theology, such as what happens to people after they do evil, and when a sinner dies, his soul will fall into hell and suffer, which is quite scary to look at, but these are not deliberate smears by the church. It's not a nonsense, Merlin, the demon king, knows the cruelty of the abyss hell better than anyone else, and the suffering of sinful souls after going to hell will only be a hundred times more tragic than what is written in the book.
It's not that the demons will take the initiative to punish sinners or anything, it's just that the simple law of the abyss is like this.
Mother Abyss welcomes all sins into her arms, she recognizes all sins and generously gives all sinners the most fair and just treatment, the only problem is that all the evil people in the abyss, and even the wicked people have a high and low division, there are big evil people or little evil people or something, and the mother of the abyss treats everyone equally, but to put it bluntly, it doesn't matter anything, she will not interfere with the freedom of the big evil people to bully people because the little evil people are bullied by the big evil people.
As a result, the little villain will be bullied and tortured by the big villain, and the big villain will be bullied by the bigger villain, and the big villain will be bullied and angry, and they will vent their anger on the little villain, and then the little villain will be bullied even worse.
Of course, being bullied every day, this honest person will be angry, not to mention the wicked people, and occasionally there will be little villains who will kill those big evildoers, but this is not a liberation, it's just that a new big villain has come to power.
This is the most real abyss, layers of oppression, strict hierarchy, in the long years, only endless despair, fear, unwillingness, and resentment, the accumulated negative energy will gradually precipitate at the bottom of the abyss, become the nourishment for the expansion of the abyss.
This is how the Endless Abyss came about, from the creation of the world to the present, the scale of the Abyss has long since expanded many times.
However, it seems that theology encourages sinners to repent, and when sinners are lost, the Lord's flame will be ignited from him, and the flame will burn away the sinner's sins, and as long as he survives the burning of the flame, the Lord will lead his soul to heaven again.
In this regard, Merlin wanted to complain, this is not to put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha on the spot, and repentance will be burned by the holy fire, isn't this tantamount to suicide? How many souls can really hold out until the day when their sins are burned out?
However, this is also deserved, it can only be said that the sin is deserved, anyway, Merlin thinks that the most thing is that the prisoner will be forgiven immediately as long as he repents.
It's just that Merlin is a little worried that if he dies in the future, his soul will definitely fall into hell, the abyss is so terrible, how will he live then, will he really be a demon king? Become the biggest, strongest, and most evil villain?
But this is really difficult, after all, although he is not a good person, but he is not bad to that extent, if he wants to bully people for no reason, he really can't do it, but if he is not ruthless enough, he will look easy to bully, and he will definitely be remembered by those wicked people, which is very uncomfortable.
However, Cynthia will definitely go to hell after she dies anyway, this ghost woman is bad enough, she is a real and wicked person, and when the time comes, he will continue to hug his thighs and it will be over.
After thinking about it for a long time, Merlin came to such a conclusion, and then suddenly relieved himself.
And just as Merlin's mind began to run around the train, the nun on the other side was also quietly looking at him.....
