Chapter 24: Return to Fartigan

A horse-drawn carriage carried Dak straight into the holy city of Fartigan.

Duck lifted the curtains of the car window and looked at the street.

On the roofs of the rows of houses are crosses. On the spacious and tidy streets, people with calm and serene faces walked slowly.

Slowness and serenity are the rhythm of this small city, like an old-fashioned table clock, swinging steadily according to its own rhythm.

The flames of war all over the continent are not traced here.

"Happiness has many meanings, and peace is undoubtedly the greatest," said Duck in a low voice, "but how long can it last?

This sentence caught the attention of the Templar next to him, and a grunt of dissatisfaction came from under the cold steel armor.

Duck smiled helplessly: "This is reality." ”

The Templar sneered, "It looks like five big and three thick, but it has a fragile heart. ”

Duck shook his head: "It's here that is vulnerable." ”

"Curse it, heretic, and see if you can bring down any cross. ”

Duck was stunned: "So, you treat me as a heretic? Is this an arrest?"

There was a chuckle from under the visor: "What do you think? ”

"I'm just a workshop owner who has mastered a little bit of novelty, and I bought a captain's seat for Tu Ping'an - or a deputy. It has nothing to do with heresy, does it?"

"Pretending to be stupid can't reduce the guilt, pretending to be crazy may be. However, the guy named by Director Paul will get special care for pretending to be crazy. ”

"If everyone's wish is for everyone to live such a 'happy' life, according to the current way of doing things in the Holy Religion, it is obvious that they are climbing a tree to find fish. ”

This made the Templars laugh: "It's still an interesting heretic." I love talking to someone like you who is dying. ”

"Why?"

"Because you don't have a chance to sue the black and talk nonsense. ”

"You're not a rigid and stubborn person. ”

"If I mean faith, I'm sorry, I am. Heresy must die. ”

"But you can't give me the key evidence that I'm a heretic. I repeat, according to this way of doing things, apart from creating a large number of neo-Servettes to prove the stupidity and incompetence of the Holy See, and to push the cowardly populace to the side of heresy, only pedantic loyalty remains. ”

The corners of the Templar's mouth twitched.

This is truly an unusual heresy.

There was no posturing intimidation, no hysterical ranting, no pretended calm timidity, just a calm with a little compassion.

Criticizing the Holy Religion with sharp words without any scruples is it a dismissive death that is not fast enough?

This feeling is really annoying, as if being looked down on by someone standing on a high place, but this guy seems to be a little crooked.

The devil's disguise? Such a heresy, but a big fish.

"Now that I have the consciousness to be a new Servet, I don't have much more to say. ”

"The impoverished faction of Urbino is aggressive and has become the leading force of the opposition; the continent is full of flames, but the heads are broken and bleeding are all small countries that believe in the Holy Religion; several traditional heretical forces are calm on the surface, but they are rapidly integrating internally: the Ara Peninsula is reunited, the new Tenotiran Kingdom has sprung up, the traditional forces of the North Sea Alliance have been replaced by the nouveau riche who made their fortunes by technology, and the Dorand Kingdom, the foundation of the Holy Religion, has secretly shouted the slogan 'Religion follows the country'...... In the face of this wave of change, how should a rigid and immutable system respond?"

The young Templar was dumbfounded.

A workshop owner, will have this kind of insight?

The words of the workshop owner continued: "I think that the priority of the Holy Church at present is not to emphasize orthodoxy, but to be tolerant, to unite all the Holy Christians under the banner of tolerance and love. Fighting around, dying a bunch of people, and the last remaining ones, can they withstand the expansion of heresy?"

This sentence caused the Templar to grab his tail and retort, "How can you be strong without a unified mind and will?"

"At the very least, it should be cut through the mess quickly, not into a protracted and rotten battle. Moreover, both sides of the war are now believers in the Holy Religion, and the more fierce the battle, the more disgusting the Holy Religion becomes. You are only concerned with your own positions, and the people will blame the Church itself for the disaster. ”

"Nonsense!"

"I have no intention of changing anyone's mind. Whether it's gibberish or not, you just need to go out and take a walk and understand. My whole position is to live in peace with my wife. Perhaps, this is also the thinking of most people outside of Fartican. There will be no intact eggs under the overturned bird's nest, and now, the conservatives – sorry, a bit disrespectful to say that, perhaps traditionalist, are churning the continent into a great vortex called chaos, and if the meaningless strife is not ended soon, more and more 'heretic' countries will be sucked in, and in the end, it will be the real heretics who will benefit. ”

"Shut up, what is a meaningless strife? You creature with evil thoughts!"

"Name-calling and intimidation are never fights. If survival, the most basic human need, is regarded as an evil thought, I am afraid that we will not find a few pious warriors, right? When Marshal Clemson was martyred in a bloody battle in Jerusalem, did he ask how many heretics and saints were there in the harbor of Snell that was saved?

"You ...... who deserves to go to hell"

An old shriveled hand gently turned off the communication circle, and the room was silent.

An old man laughed: "Catherine is still too young to resist." ”

Someone also laughed: "As we expected, this heretic is very cunning. It doesn't matter, he's finally caught. ”

Another immediately objected: "Dean Luanta, I think this matter is still negotiable. His views, though deviant, are pale to say that they are heretical, and we have no conclusive proof. ”

"Dean Trison, as the leader of the seminary, you have a great affection for all the knowledgeable people, yes, I admit that the example of Servette he gave just now was quite cunning, and to put it mildly, that fire is the eternal pain of the Holy Sect. But this does not become an exculpatory statement of heresy. ”

Luanta didn't budge.

Old thing, who's afraid of whom?

Among the nine sects of the Holy Religion, except for the Inquisition, which has the sole power of life and death, the most powerful is the Sacred Doctrine Division, which manages all believers. Although he is not yet the head of the Holy Doctrine Department, with the fall of his rival Magnum, it is only a matter of time before he is promoted to the head of the Sacred Doctrine Department. A pedantic leader of a mere seminary dares to argue with himself?

Triessen sneered: "What about the evidence? Just because of a few innocuous props, and a little trick to fish in troubled waters? Dean Luanta, if he is a heretic, why did he give us such a big gift from Magnum?"

"How do you know if you don't try the first trial?"

"Yesterday I just decided to reward the meritorious heroes, and today I will arrest and interrogate people, how can the laws of the Holy Sect be a child's play?"

"Child's play? Child's play is that we made a dangerous person of unknown origin the deputy captain of the arrest team!"

"Enough. ”

As the old man raised his hand slightly, the two immediately stopped arguing and said respectfully, "Archbishop." ”

Archbishop Whitemire slowly stood up, paced two steps, and said, "Now that we have arrived at the director of the Inquisition, I believe that there will be a definite conclusion soon, so let's wait and see." ”
