Chapter 8: The Art of Incitement
"And what about you, dear brothers?" Lu Chen looked away from Alexander's face and looked at the other guards who insisted on training, "Why are you still insisting on training, why haven't you stopped to rest like dear Captain Otto?"
The guards hesitated for a while, and from the way they looked at what they wanted to say, the question seemed difficult to answer.
"You can say anything to me! I am the messenger of the church and the practitioner of the Holy Spirit, and your actions will be justly evaluated by the Holy Spirit!" Seeing that these guards did not speak, Lu Chen raised the frame of the divine envoy.
The vast majority of the people of this world believe in the Holy Spirit devoutly, and even more so of the attendants who serve the Church. Although Lu Chen, the divine envoy, has no real power, he is the spokesman of the Holy Spirit in the world, and in terms of representing the authority of the Holy Spirit and pulling the tiger skin as a banner, he thinks that he is second, and no one dares to be the first!
"Lord God's Messenger!" another red-haired young guard finally spoke, "We want to contribute to Lord Spirit!"
"It's our pleasure to serve you and the church!" another dark-haired guard shouted.
I'm afraid that no one will be the first bird. As soon as someone spoke, things were easy to do—the more than twenty guards all came up and formed a circle around Lu Chen, gossiping for a while:
"Your Excellency, we must keep training!"
"Divine Envoy, Captain Otto doesn't instruct us, but we're practicing the Cross Three-Step Slash ourselves!"
"Lord God's Messenger, I can fight five Wehrmacht alone!"
"Lord God's Messenger, go and let Captain Otto and his seniors start training too!"
——This group of guards who insisted on training were mostly young people with surging blood, and their voices were very loud, and after this shouting, it not only attracted the suspicious eyes of the guards on the other side of the training ground, but also made Lu Chen's eardrums hurt.
"Your wishes, I and the Holy Spirit have received them!" Lu Chen raised his arms and shouted, and immediately quieted the young guards, and looked at the Divine Envoy with expectation one by one.
Alright, now comes the main event...... Facing the eager gaze of the young guards, Lu Chen licked his lips.
He took a deep breath.
"My brothers, I understand your desire to pay for the Holy Spirit!" Lu Chen put on a sad face of his father's death and his mother's remarriage, and sighed with disappointment and helplessness, "But I also understand the brothers on the other side of the training ground, who hurry up to rest! If you don't train, don't train, anyway, the Holy Spirit is about to abandon us!"
Abandon us?!
The loss of divine grace is simply the most cruel punishment for these fanatical believers.
Someone in the crowd shouted: "Impossible!" and "Long live the Holy Spirit!"
"My dear brothers, I didn't lie to you! The Holy Spirit is about to abandon us, but it's not the Holy Spirit's fault-" Lu Chen said bitterly, pausing dramatically at the critical moment, "-It's entirely our own fault! The Holy Spirit has abandoned us because of our church, and we are about to betray the Holy Spirit!"
There was a dead silence all around.
"How is that possible!" Alexander asked in shock, "how could we all be loyal servants of the Holy Spirit, how could we commit acts of rebellion against the Holy Spirit!"
Lu Chen glanced at Alexander with satisfaction: This kid has a talent for praise.
"My brothers, I don't know if you have heard that under the Pope's crown, he is about to surrender to the council and completely dissolve the Holy Church!" Lu Chen said while silently reciting "Man Jianghong" in his heart to arouse his emotions, "Our Holy Church is an organization formed according to the will of the Holy Spirit, and it is the property of the Holy Spirit! Now we want to sell the Holy Church to the Council in exchange for our own stealing life, this is not a betrayal of the Holy Spirit, what is it!"
The young guards froze.
Although most of them were aware of the plans of the church leaders to surrender to the council, they never linked it to rebellion against the Holy Spirit!
Rebellion against the Holy Spirit is a grave sin that these devout believers never thought of!
"Brothers, as an oracle, I have tried my best to persuade the Pope, but he has already insisted on going his own way in surrendering, and my persuasion is useless......" Lu Chen waved his hand sadly, "Now that the matter is now, surrender is a foregone conclusion, I have no other choice but to kill myself with my sword when the church is dissolved, and use my life to apologize to the Holy Spirit!"
As soon as these words came out, not only did they cause the young guards to exclaim, but even An Jie, who was following Lu Chen, turned pale with fright.
"You can't die, Lord God!" exclaimed Alexander, "it's not your fault at all!"
"Don't say it again!I just hope you don't blame the Pope and the church......" Lu Chen snickered in his heart, his face was still righteous and awe-inspiring, "They are also here to save their lives and your lives......"
The guards were silent. One by one, they lowered their heads, clenched their teeth, and their fists clenched unconsciously.
Lu Chen was a little touched by himself-
It's such a sensational feeling!
"Your Excellency!" Alexander said suddenly, his expression resolute, "If you need us, we will do our best for you and the Holy Spirit!"
The young guards nodded in agreement, their eyes glittering with sparkles.
"Thank you, my brothers, continue your training, I can't afford to delay you any longer!"
Seeing that the emotions were in place, Lu Chen nodded at these guards "excitedly", and before leaving, he didn't forget to quote a quote from a great man: "Remember, the world is yours and ours, but in the final analysis, it's yours!"
The guards were still looking at each other because of this strange closing sentence, and Lu Chen had already left the training ground with An Jie.
Re-entering the church through the back door, the two of them came back to a slightly dimly lit hallway lit only by candles.
Lu Chen was still thinking about his next step as he walked, when he suddenly felt that someone was pulling him from behind.
An Jie's crying face suddenly appeared.
"Lord Elliot, are you—really—going to kill yourself?"
If you incite the emotions of those stunned guards, how can you even deceive this little girl together! Lu Chen couldn't cry or laugh for a while, and hurriedly squatted down, stretched out his hand, and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes for An Jie with a slight apology:
"Silly girl, believe me, I won't sacrifice myself casually—I don't want to taste death again. ”
"Taste it again"? An Jie was still stunned, and Lu Chen had already stood up again.
"You should come down and take a look at it more, what's the use of staying in the house all the time?" he sighed, and walked on.
An Jie hurriedly followed, and asked curiously:
"Then Lord Eliot, did you come down and look at the guards this time, did you get anything?"
"Harvest?" Lu Chen smiled and tilted his head, "It's kind of there...... Knowing the status of the 'training' of these guards, and-"
- Discovered a good talent who was a lackey. Lu Daguan thought secretly.
As a religious puppet with no real power, he just needs a few lackeys these days.
