Chapter 265: Okay, Satisfy You
The entire country along the Mediterranean coast was affected by this storm, as if returning to the dark ages of the Middle Ages.
Religious influences and the impending storm of war are unsettling.
At this time, in the middle of a city above the desert, Abdul stood on the high tower of a temple and looked at the city that never sleeps.
Pale blue soft lights decorate this ancient city, giving it a charm that transcends time and space.
Jerusalem is a city of ill-fated but full of glory.
It is the holy place of the three religions, known as the "holy city", and in the eyes of countless believers, it is a holy place that will be reached in life.
Even if the liver and brain are smeared!
"How long can peace last?"
Abdul's mood grew heavier.
As one of the most prestigious priests of the Green Church, he could deeply feel the pressure from the papal lineage.
The Holy See has regained his scepter from the mysteries of the Middle Ages, so will the war be far away?
You must know that the Crusades of that year were fought for more than 200 years because of the land under their feet, and even when the Great Mongol Empire fought in Europe, this war never stopped.
"What a beautiful city. ”
Abdul sighed, as if in pity.
Unfortunately, whether it is the Green Cult, the Pope, or even they are the supreme holy places here.
It is precisely because this is a sacred place for all that it is so dangerous.
Thinking of this, Abdul couldn't help but sigh at the injustice of God.
"Why is it that both the Holy See and the Catholic Sect are blessed by God, but we are not?
The Angels of God have descended in the City of the Prophets, and the Orthodox Lines have displayed the legendary Holy Grail.
But they were the only ones who did not receive the slightest favor from the gods.
At this moment, standing in the temple, Abdul was in a very complicated mood.
He is the head of the Green Church, and if he follows other rules, he may have a holy word before his name.
Although the Green Church has no nominal leader, Abdul is already the most influential.
Of course, he is also the most sincere believer.
"Prophet Muhammad and Jesus, can you hear the prayer of your servants?"
Abdul looked at Tianyu Dao.
But the night was still dark, and the bright moon was still hanging high in the sky.
The world still hasn't changed.
Abdul did not give up, and after the angels of the City of Prophets descended, he prayed every day, even if it did not have the slightest effect.
Just as Abdul was looking at Tianyu in a daze, his disciple walked in, and after giving a salute, he said:
"Your Excellency Abdul, please see you. ”
Orthodox lineage?
They did come anyway.
"Okay, I got it. ”
Abdul nodded.
The Orthodox faction still moved, and he had already guessed that the Orthodox faction would make a move.
The edge of the Holy See is too strong, and everyone is afraid of the Holy See.
As the only rival to compete with the Papal Sect, how could the newly appointed Ecumenical Patriarch be at ease?
"He's here to ask for unity. ”
"However, we have to join forces, and we have no choice, so why not cool under the big tree for us?"
The current Holy See is like the sun to other sects, and the Orthodox sect is like a big tree, even if it can't resist the sun, everyone can only support him.
Because under the sun, they must melt like snow and ice.
In the upper echelons of the temple, Abdul muttered to himself.
His voice didn't travel far throughout the building, and he could clearly hear his master's voice.
Seeing the prophet-like figure in front of him talking to himself, his disciples did not dare to speak.
After Abdul finished talking to himself, he glanced at his disciple, then stood up and tidied up his clothes, and said, "Let's go, let's go see him." ”
Abdul stayed among the upper floors behind the temple.
After descending from the upper floor, he turned and walked to the main hall of the temple, where Abdul saw a middle-aged man in the clothes of an orthodox patriarch standing in the distance.
As soon as the Orthodox patriarch saw Abdul, he immediately stood up and said enthusiastically:
"Your Excellency Abdul, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”
"I'm glad to meet you too. ”
Abdul stepped forward to shake hands with him and nodded.
Then the two sat down in the church.
The Orthodox Patriarch was still the first to speak:
"I'm sure you've guessed what I'm here for. ”
Abdul smiled, noncommittal.
"I wonder what His Excellency the Ecumenical Patriarch has to say?"
Seeing that Abdul did not speak, the patriarch smiled and said:
"Your Excellency Abdul, do you remember the Crusades?"
The Crusades were in the places that experienced this war, and this will never be forgotten.
The Crusades lasted for more than 200 years and were waged more than a dozen times, making them the largest and longest wars in the entire Middle Ages.
Countless lives have been devastated.
Abdul closed his eyes and made a resting gesture before saying:
"The war, which lasted for more than 200 years, was a pain for all of us. ”
"I also mourn for those who lost in that war. ”
The Patriarch of the Eastern Orthodox line first offered his consolation to the war, and then he said:
"What do you think is the difference between the current Holy See and the Holy See at that time?"
This is basically made clear, and the current Holy See is like the Holy See of the Middle Ages.
They will launch a new crusade at any moment.
I have to say, this is really convincing.
And in history, during the Crusades, everyone was fighting, not only the Green Sect, but even his brother Dongzheng was fighting.
Seeing that Abdul hesitated, the patriarch said:
"The Pope of the Holy See is too strong. ”
Eventually, Abdul faltered.
"Yes, he's too strong, we should join forces. ”
But in fact, he had already determined that he was going to join forces with Dongzheng Yimai.
But if you agree at the beginning, then there is no bargaining chip to negotiate.
"Yes, we should join forces, what does the Ecumenical Patriarch mean?"
The Patriarch, who came to lobby Abdul, laughed and said:
"Dear Patriarch, I hope you will convince the people of Judaism that we will unite to face our enemies, or adversaries. ”
"Is that so?"
Abdul seemed to be lost in thought, and finally he raised his head and said:
"I will convince the Jewish one, but I also hope that His Excellency the Ecumenical Patriarch will show enough sincerity. ”
"What does Lord Abdul want?"
Patriarch as a messenger.
If you are not afraid of conditions, you are afraid of nothing.
"I hope to make a commitment that the Ecumenical Patriarchate will unconditionally support Jerusalem if the Pope attacks Jerusalem. ”
"That's not something I can decide. ”
The Patriarch of the Messenger hesitated, and it was not something he could decide to attack and defend together.
Abdul also knew that the people in front of him had the right to make this decision, and he immediately suggested:
"Then I would like to ask His Excellency the Ecumenical Patriarch to decide, during this time I will convince the one of Judaism. ”
The Patriarch of the Messenger glanced at Abdul, and he had the feeling that someone in front of him was playing tricks on him.
However, he finally stood up and said:
"Well, then goodbye, Your Excellency Abdul. ”
"You too. ”
Abdul nodded.
After standing up and shaking hands with the messenger to say goodbye, Abdul did it again.
After the envoy of the Holy See left, Abdul turned to look at his disciple and said, "Follow me to meet him!"
The disciple knew which one he was talking about, the spiritual leader of Judaism, Malamud.
.........
Judaism differs from other religions in that it does not advocate proselytizing.
They preached only to the Jewish community, in order to revive Jewish traditions.
After leaving the temple, Abdul and his disciples walked through the streets.
The distance between the two religions is very close, not far.
At this time, in the Jewish church, Malamud was praying in front of the statue of the Lord.
The content of his prayers is the same as that of Abdul.
But there was a difference, he hoped that the Jews would not get lost in other religions and abandon their traditions.
“......... We do not advocate invasion to harm ignorant people, we do not advocate distorting others to become our own servants, but Great Lord, I sincerely hope that the faith of a people will not be lost with time, Great Lord, you are the spiritual Lord of the Jewish people, please do not let our lost compatriots not be deceived......"
While Malamud was praying, a priest walked in, and his voice was heard before he could enter.
"Your Excellency Malamud, Your Excellency Abdul has come to see you. ”
After entering Malamud's office, he was silent.
Malamud didn't reply either, and he didn't stand up until he had finished his prayer.
The pastor waited quietly for His Excellency Malamud to finish praying, knowing that Malamud was in the habit of not interrupting prayer whenever he prayed.
Malamud, who stood up, straightened his face and said:
"Did he say anything?"
The priest who came in shook his head and said:
"Nope!"
Then, he added:
"But just now I heard that someone from the Dongzheng line has gone to see this Lord Abdul. ”
Orthodox people went to see Abdul?
Malamud frowned, it was really going to be windy.
"Okay, I see, let's go over together. ”
Malamud turned around and patted the pastor on the shoulder, then followed him towards the church room.
In the room, Malamud saw the familiar face of Abdul.
The two have been rivals for many years and friends for many years.
But because Judaism only preaches within itself, the two men are more friends than rivals.
"Hello, Lord Malamud. ”
Abdul was the first to say hello.
"Hello, Lord Abdul, you are definitely not here to greet me. ”
Acquaintances don't talk superfluous nonsense when they meet.
Malamud asked directly.
"Yes, I just made a deal with the Ecumenical Patriarch. ”
Seeing an old friend so directly, Abdul is also straight to the point.
"What deal?"
"We have made an alliance with him, and he will be our helper when the Pope moves against Jerusalem. ”
"Jerusalem is protected by a kingdom. ”
Malamud said with a frown.
"I don't believe you don't know how powerful they are. ”
Abdul looked at Malamud with calm eyes.
He raised his right hand, and a streak of gold swirled in his hand.
This is the Holy Light, the Holy Light that belongs to the Green Cult.
Unlike the Holy Light of the Pope's lineage, it was golden with a hint of pure white.
An incomparably holy aura flowed out of the holy light, and in an instant the entire room was enveloped in the breath of holy light.
That's powerful, pure power.
Abdul: This is a demonstration.
"Of course I know. ”
Malamud also held out his hand, and his hand in the void also showed a pure light, but the light in his hand was white.
In an instant, the entire room seemed to melt as ice and snow, and the horror of the confrontation disappeared in an instant.
Abdul suffered a dark loss.
This guy is so strong!
He looked at Malamud in surprise.
Malamud, on the other hand, was really hesitant, he really didn't think about whether to join forces or not.
"And what did you decide?"
Seeing that Malamud was still hesitating, Abdul mended:
"Don't forget that this is Jerusalem, and don't forget the Crusades. ”
These four words of Jerusalem are like the final stab to the heart of Malamud.
"Maybe you're right, I'm responsible for the lives of these hundreds of thousands. ”
"I can agree to the conditions of the universal patriarch, but I will add one condition. ”
Malamud relented.
But he put forward one last condition.
"On what terms?"
Abdul asked.
"The Orthodox line is not allowed to preach to any Jewish people. ”
"That's the only one?"
Abdul looked at his old friend with a complicated face.
"Yes. ”
"So ......"
Abdul had wanted to say that there would be no problem.
But the sound of a stone hammer striking the earth interrupted his words.
For a moment, he felt like something was collapsing and slamming into the ground.
"What? Is the church under construction?"
"It's not construction. ”
Malamud's expression had become serious.
"Huh?"
Abdul frowned and let out a questioning nasal voice.
"Look there. ”
Malamud held out his right hand and pointed towards the waterhole in the distance.
In the waterhole in the distance of the church, the water began to jump with the fluctuations of the sound, and they jumped out of the water and became drops of water in the air, trembling as if they had been on a roller coaster.
And the trajectory of the water movement completely ignores the gravitational pull of the center of the earth.
Just as Abdul stepped forward to look at the pool, the water in the pool fell back into the pool in an instant.
Immediately after, a pure white light broke through the sky.
......
In the distance, Qin Chuming rubbed his ears.
"So fond of praying? Okay, that's satisfying you!"
