Chapter 315: Glorious Hope
Boom, boom, boom!
At this moment, a loud beat was heard in the distance.
"The people of the temple are coming!"
The people below hurriedly closed their mouths, not daring to make any more sounds.
Soon, the bishop was surrounded by a crowd of priests.
"Why, you seem to have one more person, is it foreign aid?"
The bishop's eyes lingered on Joan of Arc for a moment, and a look of surprise flashed across his countenance.
I don't know if he was marveling at the beauty of the latter, or if he felt the rich holiness in her.
— or both.
"yes, are you scared?" Ios didn't deny it either, and smiled slightly, "Then it's too late for you to surrender now." ”
"Hmph, that's a joke!" The bishop couldn't help but snort coldly, "Since my temple can exist, then it has been recognized by the world. No matter what level of theologian you find, even if you invite the Pope, there is no reason to be afraid! ”
"Very good, then." Ios smiled as if he had succeeded in his plan, "In that case, I would like to ask the Bishop for his advice." ”
He expected that the bishop would definitely question Joan of Arc's existence, so he simply used the agitation method.
As a result, the bishop jumped into the pit with great cooperation, and after he himself said that he was not afraid of any challenge, it was impossible to reverse the ban on Joan of Arc from participating in the debate.
"Less nonsense, you say how you want to argue." The bishop snorted, crossed his arms and said disdainfully, "Let's see how many rounds we plan to divide in, who will be on it, and whether you want to substitute and vote for the masses......"
"It doesn't have to be that much trouble." Ios shook his head, then stepped forward and stretched out his finger, "Each side sends one person to debate, and we will decide the winner in one game, and the criterion for victory is to refute the other party until there is nothing to say!" ”
Rumble!
Ios's words fell, and the venue, which had already calmed down, was suddenly overwhelmed by even more boiling voices!
"How is this possible, Prince Ios actually said that he wanted to refute the other party until he had nothing to say at all......"
"Yes, there is no way to prove whether religion itself is right or not, just as epic poems can always justify themselves...... Moreover, the temple is still a clever tongue......"
"It's over, if you don't launch a mass vote, even if Prince Ios has the upper hand, the bishop can keep arguing and not admit defeat......"
The people below showed expressions of surprise and pity.
In their opinion, Ios was still too young and too eager to fight.
"A game is a winner, and there is nothing to say about the standard for losing?" The bishop was also taken aback by Ios, but soon showed a victorious smile, "Your Royal Highness, this is what you said, are you sure you won't regret it?" ”
"Of course, there is no reason to take back the king's words." Ios nodded seriously, "If you can't even be responsible for your own words, how can you be responsible for the country and the people in the future?!" ”
"Haha, it's really courageous, His Royal Highness the Prince is indeed extraordinary." The bishop did not know whether he was genuinely praising or mocking, "In that case, then this seat will take up this challenge." ”
Then he raised his arm towards the two priests behind him:
"Hyde, Heim, you go up and meet Prince Ios for a while!"
"Yes, Your Excellency."
The two priests nodded in unison and hurriedly answered.
Their appearances are very similar, with a sense of mellow cooperation in their gestures, and their eyes are even more treacherous.
"It's the two brothers Hyde and Heim! It's hanging! ”
When the people below saw the two priests appear, their faces changed.
"Master, these two brothers are twins, and they were supposed to be crooks who were not doing their jobs and wandering the streets. Later, when he was bumped into by the bishop, who saw that the two men were deceitful and lied, and his face was not red and his heart was not beating when he told lies, he took them under his command and specialized in spreading the distorted doctrine of the temple in the Saxons. They are the best at sophistry, and even the brightest of the wise men have no way to convince them, and they are extremely difficult to deal with. ”
Baixiang leaned close to Ios's ear and whispered in a low voice.
"Hmph, I'm afraid they're not good birds in the first place. You can see that the eyes of the people below look at them with a faint hatred. Ios glanced at the two brothers and said disdainfully, "It's just two liars, I won't take it seriously." ”
"Prince Ios, please. Let our brother hear your opinion. ”
In the face of Ios's eyes, the two brothers Heim and Hyde smiled maliciously and said.
"Wait a minute, isn't that fair?" Joan of Arc frowned, stepped forward and said, "It's clear that it's one-on-one, but two of you came up. ”
"Hey, hey, hey, beautiful young lady, why should you care about these details. It's okay for us two brothers to be of the same mind, so it's okay to be one person. The two brothers squinted their eyes, scanned Joan of Arc's body up and down, and smiled, "It's your appearance and temperament, it's a pity to follow a declining prince." If you could join the temple and have your brother take care of you, you would be able to live a thousand times more comfortable than you do now. ”
"I'll assume that you are kind enough to take it in, but I'm sorry it's impossible." Joan of Arc didn't care about the stares of the two of them, shook her head lightly, and said, "I already have my own contractor, and I won't go anywhere but by his side." ”
“…… Moreover, the slander spread by your temple in the name of missionary service is already a great blasphemy against God, and the sin is so heavy that you will fall into the karmic fire of hell after death, and your soul will suffer the scorching of eternal life! Joan of Arc suddenly raised his head, looked at the other side and shouted, "Now if you kneel down and repent, it is not too late, and you can still make up for your mistakes." Otherwise, if you keep obsessed, no one will be able to save you in the end! ”
At the same time, a dazzling brilliance like the sun burst out from Joan of Arc.
"Uh-huh——!!!"
The crowd of people in the temple opposite, from priests to bishops, couldn't bear this momentum, raised their hands to cover their eyes, and retreated in embarrassment.
The two brothers, Hyde and Heim, sat directly on the ground, with no image at all!
"Oh my God...... Is this girl an angel sent from heaven? ”
"It must be! As soon as I see her, I feel that my heart is overflowing with light, and there is endless power in me! ”
"Holy Maiden! The great saint of the world! ”
The people below burst into unparalleled enthusiastic cheers as if they had just woken up from a dream, and even burst into tears!
They had been struggling for years under the darkness of the Temple, and their daily lives were filled with despair.
Every day they prayed silently in their hearts, hoping that God would have mercy on them and send a reliable savior.
The appearance of Joan of Arc filled their hearts with light and hope for the first time in many years!
