Chapter 475, belated trouble
For these knights of the Holy Crown, who were more devout than the Knights of Punishment, the sacred was everything.
Or rather, the divine is able to speak for itself. Those official documents, proof of identity, have no meaning other than sacred.
The branch that Xiao Yan took out was stimulated with divine aura, and it was enough. The Knights of the Holy Crown didn't need anything worldly to prove that the boy in front of him was a "translator of scriptures" recognized by the Holy See. Whether it is the eyes, hearing, touch, smell, they will be deceived and want to be unblinded, only sacred.
For the Lord is unblinded, and the Lord is a prophet who knows all things. What is approved by the Lord and given to the holy is true.
Carefully placing this branch on his saddle, the bearded middle-aged knight's attitude towards Xiao Yan had changed too much. Tosto was not far from Speyer, and with the help of divine communication, Speyer would soon be able to grasp what was happening there in Tosto. The young man who listened to the voice of the Lord, walked on the ground of the Lord, and translated the scriptures for the Holy See. The boy who was about to leave Tosto, but was once again blessed by the Lord, upturned the sea of magic in the entire European Holy See, and finally possessed the ability of a level 3 priest. These things may be far away for those who are worldly, but they are not strange to these knights who are already quite high-ranked.
The Holy See did not recognize the little Flemann as the Lord's walk on the earth, but only for political reasons. For these pious knights, little Fleman's identity did not need to be recognized, because it was already real.
"Welcome, Freman, Lord Lord."
The middle-aged knight is like Yanni. Stiffly changed the title. It gave him a look of indignation. Received a "holy relic" from Fryman the Younger. But he could only call little Fryman a lord, which made the middle-aged knight feel very bad.
"I'm leading my dwarven subjects to the Rose Territory."
Xiao Yan said calmly, his pampered appearance made a very deep impression on these knights, compared to those children of nobles, Xiao Yan's current appearance is more in line with the image of the Lord walking on the ground.
"Yes, my lord, we already know. The Pope even inquired about your itinerary through correspondence. ”
Xiao Yan was a little wary of the Pope's actions. But instead of showing it, he continued: "The road is more difficult to walk than I thought, and I need some food to ensure that my subjects can reach the Rose Territory safely, and survive until the summer comes." ”
"Grain?"
Xiao Yan slowly walked towards the stone wall of the Speyer Monastery, and asked, "What, what's wrong?" ”
The middle-aged knight looked at Xiao Yan's thin body and those thin clothes, and his eyes were slightly red. In the process of translating those scriptures, Xiao Yan once talked to Constantine about the true meaning of penance. He told the ascetic. Penance is not just about scourging oneself, it can make oneself less evil. Penance is really to be done. It is to gain the suffering of others, so that others can feel the mercy of the Lord and be saved.
Of course, this is Xiao Yan's nonsense, and this kind of thinking of using my body to bear the suffering of others comes from Buddhism. But this idea of self-sacrifice is easily religiously accepted, especially for fanatical ascetics. What is the goal of penance? This has always been a question that ascetics have been exploring. Just cleansing oneself of one's sins sounds great, but it is too small and selfish compared to the suffering of others.
To endure the suffering of others in order to have one's sins removed, the Lord needs lambs who love and help one another, not those who are selfish and only think about their own salvation.
This theory was mixed in with Xiao Yan's translation of the scriptures, and it immediately made Constantine feel as if the Holy Light had suddenly appeared. Soon after that, the theory began to spread throughout the upper echelons of the church.
For the middle-aged knight, he hadn't known this theory for too long, and he still didn't know why until he saw Xiao Yan today.
weishenmeThe suffering of others to bear by yourself? This question has been bothering the knight.
Until now, when he saw Xiao Yan doing this, he was still wearing very thin clothes on such a cold mountain road. And the purpose of doing so was not for himself, but for the sake of his subjects. The middle-aged knight suddenly understood something.
"Praise, you are the most merciful lord I have ever met. As you walk in the world, you will surely spread the brightness of the Lord farther! ”
The knight understood and complimented, and then said: "My lord, please follow me, I will now take you to the cardinal, and I think your wish will be fulfilled." ”
After speaking, the middle-aged knight led the other knight's horse over and motioned for Xiao Yan to ride.
Xiao Yan rejected the suggestion, and he said calmly, "I once heard a voice. ”
Although he no longer said that he had heard the voice of the Lord, the knights were immediately infected by Xiao Yan's gesture and praised together, "Amen! Praise, my Lord. ”
After the knights complimented, Xiao Yan continued: "That voice said to me, little Fryman, when you start, you have to keep going. Giving up halfway can damage your virtues, and accepting extravagant help can get you into a quagmire. ”
Afterwards, Xiao Yan looked at the knight and said, "Although riding a horse is not a luxury help, I can walk up like this." ”
The middle-aged knight praised the Lord again, then bowed his head and said, "Yes, my lord, you should do so. Only you can be so pure, and only you can listen to that voice. As you walk on the road, allow me, Quist, to follow by your side. ”
Xiao Yan was slightly stunned, the name Quister was so familiar that at that moment, Xiao Yan thought that he had returned to reality. The trance was fleeting, and the brown-haired boy only nodded slightly, and then began to climb towards the mountain road.
In the distance, I don't know how to get the news here, from the gate outside the castle, the gates along the way, are opening one after another. Suddenly, there was a melodious and mighty organ sound in the castle, and in addition to this, Xiao Yan could even faintly hear the sound of singing hymns.
"I don't need that," Xiao Yan whispered, "I'm just a lord. ”
Knight Quist's face became a little strange, and he was quiet for a moment and said, "I'm very sorry, but this ceremony is not welcoming to you. Your Majesty, we are pleasantly surprised by your arrival, but this ceremony has been prepared for a long time. ”
Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, his self-righteous exhortation embarrassed him, but obviously, there were people who were more embarrassed than him. The Knights of the Holy Crown had very complicated expressions on their faces, and they did not welcome the walking of a Lord like Xiao Yan on the earth, but instead bowed to a certain big man in the world, which made these knights who regarded the Lord as the supreme existence and ignored the rest of the world feel a little humiliated.
A younger knight suddenly took a horn from his saddle and blew it at the mountain road ahead. The sound of this horn is very unique, it sounds like the violent roar of a huge beast of prey. In the midst of this terrible sound, even the well-trained steeds of the Knights of the Holy Crown were a little restless, shaking their heads and making snorting sounds, and they seemed to be a little panicked.
The sound of the trumpet was very sudden, but Quist did not rebuke or even interrupt the process, and only after the young knight had finished blowing the trumpet, he whispered: "May the Lord forgive you for your impulses, Amen." ”
In the distance, the mountain road gate began to take on a new change, and dozens of knights, also dressed in shining armor, rode their horses down the hillside, their bodies flooded with holy light, and in the setting sunline, they looked particularly bright.
A few minutes later, the knights had arrived near Xiao Yan, and no one spoke, as if waiting for the next order.
Quister took the branch from his saddle and said calmly, "Praise me." ”
Looking at the branch, and then at the gesture that Xiao Yan was already familiar to everyone in the Holy See, holding the scepter in one hand and the crown in the other, the knights let out a cheer-like praise almost at the same time.
"Lord Fryman, you will go to the convent, for now, no horseback, no extra protection from the cold, no help."
As he said this, he motioned for the knight on the other side to help him take off his armor, and said, "So, I will walk behind him, and if Master Fryman can do it, so can I." The Knights of the Holy Crown can do it too. ”
Soon, on the mountain road leading to the Abbey of Speyer, a strange sight appeared. A thinly clad brown-haired boy walked alone in front, and behind him was a group of knights, also dressed only in linen, their armor resting on their horses. But their swords and shields were clenched tightly in their hands.
Defend the crown and scepter with a sword and shield.
Xiao Yan's climb was not too fast, the cold wind had made Xiao Yan's body extremely stiff, and every step was extremely difficult. It seemed like he was going to fall down with every step, but he still walked forward with determination. Seeing this, the knights began to chant in a low voice, and their neat, deep voices slowly spread around them.
A few minutes later, the real welcome guests of the monastery arrived, and a team of knights rushed up from behind. The mountain road of the Shpeijel Abbey was not very wide, and they had already occupied half of the road, so the knights who came behind immediately became impatient. They shouted, seemingly cursing, and several knights drew their swords, seemingly trying to drive them away.
Quister zhanzhu, looking at each other, did not say a word. (To be continued......)
