Chapter 751: Pope Nero's Curse (4)
"Even if you knew that there was a jungle not far away where you could hunt and rest, would you slaughter the wolves that were fighting to the death for territory?"
"The tabula rasa is an assassin, and he speaks the truth! Unlike me, as a former Son, as a prophet of Ireise, I value mercy and the well-being of all beings more! No one is purely sinful and unforgivable! ”
"You are now the Holy Son, not the 'Son of Heroes' who raised a butcher's knife to slaughter Zacharo's gang members."
"There is not only right and wrong in this world, and there is no room for a little sand in your eyes. Since you are a wiser Son than they are, you can see the long term. What you have to do is not to discipline them, but to teach them! ”
"Then restrain your anger, forgive their ignorance, and have mercy on their ignorance and the atrocities that arise from their ignorance!"
......
"Kind ......"
Benedict's words are very strange, they are obviously ordinary sentences, but when put together, they are a little obscure and full of religious flavor.
Only by being selfless can heaven and earth contain all things.
Tang Yun raised his head slightly, as if he wanted to see the gods behind the sky through the blue sky dome like a blue curtain. Indeed, the blue sky and green earth of Erixing have been watching the dirty and ugly dramas staged on this land shrouded in "divine grace". They did not inflict divine punishment in anger, but only swept the breeze on everyone's face and the sun shone on the bodies of sinners. and then a thick shadow was pulled out from under each sinner......
Is this the "divinity" that encompasses all things?
"Good, Benedict!"
"Then it's up to you, let me see what you'll do to give justice back to Aunt Angelo!"
......
Romecios looked at the Son, and then at Benedict. Raising his hand, he motioned for the members of the security team to lower their guns. Then he also looked at Benedict. Although he didn't understand many of what Lord Benedict said, he knew that Bailifei and Benedict were from the Federation, and he didn't care much. Since Baili Fei is the descendant of Benedict, he really wants to see how this adult, who claims to be the "wisp of wandering spirit" of the Great Prophet, will teach the new generation of Holy Sons and how to deal with the current case.
"Angelo, from today onwards, I will hand over all these seventy sinners to you as the 'house slaves' of your Angelo family for ten years. It's both a compensation for you and a punishment for them, don't you think? ”
Aunt Angelo cried even harder, she didn't want such a result, he preferred to kill all these villains like Baili Fei. But as a member of the Cult of Original Sin on the Erius, now that Master Benedict has spoken, she will not refuse at all, whether she wants it or not. Aunt Angelo was still suffering, and she didn't reply, but just nodded.
Later, Romecios was kind enough to arrange for certain people to escort them, and put on "hand shackles" that represented their status as slaves. If they rebel against their master's orders and run away, the Holy See can find them through the information of the shackles. The punishment of slaves on the semi-feudal and semi-slave planet Eri is particularly cruel, and at that time, what awaits these people is likely to be worse than death.
After dealing with the trivial details, everyone returned to the direction of Gorji City by car. Before leaving, Tang Yun turned back to Aunt Angelo and added.
"The Prophet has been merciful in handing over these sinners to you as 'house slaves.' I will also add that I have reduced these 'house slaves' to the lowest level of 'dead slaves'! There is no chance of redemption in ten years, life and death are all left to you, willing to fight and kill, at your disposal! Repay grievances with 'virtue' or repay grievances with 'straight', you choose your own justice! ”
Benedict sighed softly and placed his golden "stiff" palm on the top of Aunt Angelo's head.
"I believe in you, you will make your own choice! Whoever follows his heart, his destiny starts from there. ”
......
The plague raging in Gorji City was like an invisible storm, only blowing all of Tang Yun's plans into thin air.
In the blink of an eye, half a month later, the plague epidemic further expanded, and more than 2,000 patients died due to the epidemic in Gorji and nearby cities and towns. For the plague, this is a rather terrifying number. And as the number of patients increases, the rate of contagion increases.
There are still a small number of mobs who burn at the stake in various ways, and more are those who beat themselves with special whips while marching, and use self-mutilation to atone for their sins.
Tang Yun stopped the military repression that Romecios was preparing to carry out, and it was not a good idea to counter violence with violence in the current predicament. Of course, this is talking about the "atonement" of the people, and lynching must be punished severely.
As a symbolic original sin, the plague "divine punishment" is more like a "yellow card warning" falling from the sky, or a "fake notice". Tang Yun's newly established order was threatened and quickly collapsed. The rebel armies that had come to defect were still there, but at least a third of each team had secretly left. Maybe he fled under the plague, or he could question the identity of Tang Yun, the Holy Son. Several smaller nobles also took advantage of the darkness to flee to the royal area.
Soon, Tang Yun received an open battle post!
The army of nobles belonging to the family of "Publius" will arrive in the city of Gorgi in a week to declare war on the fake Son and all his supporters! As for the meaning of this war post, Tang Yun guessed that there were two, one was to show loyalty to the Holy See on behalf of the royal family and nobles, and the other must be to use the pressure of the plague to put pressure on the regime under the control of Baili Fei, the false holy son.
Sure enough, the number of refugees fleeing in all directions in Gorji City increased again, and in addition to the leaders of the rebel army, nearly half of the rebel army became deserters.
In the blink of an eye, the total population of Gorji City and the surrounding small cities and towns has suddenly gone seven or eight out of ten. Walking down the road, this originally bustling small city simply gives people the feeling of almost a ghost town.
The familiar name of "...... of the Publius family" reminded Tang Yun of a holy and proud female warrior like Joan of Arc, Nomeria. Romecios reminded him of his dead comrade-in-arms, Varo Publius. Bart can't think of anything, since the first battle of Quintus, Barth, who is as strong as a bull, has not been able to get out of the hospital bed. Most of the time he is in a coma, and he is awake for no more than two or three hours a day.
