Chapter 64: The Blade of Faith
Nerva floated like a cloud in front of the priests, glanced at them a few times, and then asked, "Witch hunters, are you afraid that we are about to attack the dark lair, that we are about to go to war with the fierce evil creatures?"
"Witch hunts are fearless!" replied the priests as they straightened up and raised their voices.
"Ah, that's just the standard answer, it's a slogan that has been shouted so many times that it can't touch the soul. ”
The witch hunters didn't know how to answer, but no one looked at each other or exchanged ears, they looked like soldiers standing guard on duty, with a solemn face.
Nerva said: "You should be afraid. Facing up to fear is also a form of courage. ”
His voice turned to a higher pitch: "It is because of fear that we need faith. It is because of faith that our lives become more meaningful. A meaningful life is a dedication to all that we love. Devotion and love are righteousness, and if justice refuses to stand up, evil will triumph. ”
"Swear to justice, and I will be brave!"
"Swear to the faith, and I will be pure!"
"I swear to all the peoples, and I will slay evil!" ......
Kane, who was watching secretly, pouted, this was really a battle lesson, brainwashing.
The ways and methods of brainwashing are also keeping pace with the times.
He remembered that in his previous life, in a mission world of the Middle Ages, he had seen these ancestors of witch hunting.
At that time, their slogans were not so literary and philosophical.
At that time, they generally said something like this: "Throw this woman into the river, and if she floats, she is a witch." ”
Don't float up, drown, float up, burn after ravage.
Of course, not all witch hunters are so tyrannical and savage, after all, there are still some people from large places who have read books to join this group, such as the second son of a noble family who has no inheritance or something.
Kevin thinks that Nerva probably has such a background. Ancient, erudite, extreme.
He guessed correctly, Nerva came from Milan, which was famous for its armor in ancient times and fashionable in modern times. The former independent city-state, now the second city in Italy.
He lived long enough, and his status in the Inquisition was high.
Hidden Saint, this is the honorific title of the people.
At the same time, he is also the boss of the Opus Dei, a member of the Shadow Society, and has been fighting with the Hermitage and the Knights Templar under its control over the Holy Grail.
So his life is quite fulfilling.
This time, I descended to the Scottish Highlands and came to the Scottish Highlands for the sake of black hemp and the machine that made magic tears.
The news came from an official of the French Ministry of Magic, and after verification, he even had a rough idea of the internal structure of Nozawa Castle.
And now it seems that those messages were deliberately leaked to him by Faust.
"Priests, brothers and sisters. Just now, we unbunked a conspiracy. The ancient evils, trying to make swords from us, against their kind, to profit from them. They are strong, cunning, ferocious, and tenacious, and who can say what we have and they don't?"
"Unity!" replied one of the priests, apparently the leader, in a loud voice.
It was a judge with the Christian name of the Twelve Apostles, Andrew.
Nerva nodded, "Yes, unity." Look at your side, they are your most reliable arms, the most trustworthy comrades-in-arms, love them as yourself, and they will love you as yourself. ”
"What else?"
Peter, another adjudicator, shouted, "Faith!"
Nerva clapped his hands lightly and praised: "Well said, well said! Why is it said that wizards are the embodiment of evil, but we are righteous, why are wizards now only able to live in seclusion, while the church can walk calmly in the sun?"
After a pause, Nerva said loudly: "Because of faith." We have faith and pass it on to everyone, we love the world, and let the world share in the gift and glory of the Lord. And the shamans, they use their supernatural power for personal gain, for fighting and killing. This is even more sinful than the uncleanness of the blood!"
As I watched the priests listen one by one, their eyes lit up and their expressions were excited. Kane sighed secretly, admitting that this Nerva had sharp teeth.
In the new era, it is difficult for people to believe that he was evil in the past. After all, information is developed, people's horizons are broadened, and they have learned to ask why.
So these brainwashing experts started from the perspective of conduct and discipline. It is not the one who criticizes others, but highlights his own greatness.
In fact, in one sentence, it should be like this:
"In this world, only God and His servants can show extraordinary power in the open, and everything else is evil and heresy, and should be destroyed. ”
Monopoly on the use of supernatural powers, three centuries of witch-hunting wars, the Church did just that, and it did.
Indeed, Nerva was well aware of what the Church relied on to oust wizards from the main arena of human civilization.
Faith, the church is using faith as a weapon to achieve its goals.
As for unity, that's just one of the more concrete elements. A common faith is a good way to achieve unity.
Now, the Tears have given Nerva a path to power, while also regaining faith for a large number of mortals.
In fact, the Elixir of Faith has been developed, and once it is used, it is a good thing that would rather give up than give up. It's called 'Heaven'.
To master Heaven is to master the present and future of those who choose Heaven.
Unfortunately, the title deed of heaven is not in his hands.
Agitation, so much foreshadowing, just for the agitation of this moment.
"Light bursts forth from darkness, and holiness is set against filth. Heaven, hidden in hell, on the way to heaven, the devil obstructs you layer by layer, children, it is time to show your courage and determination! Sing Holy Brother and dedicate yourself to the Lord!"
Nerva succeeded, and the priests were indeed inspired and filled with a sense of mission, not only for them, but also for their superior adjudicators, to be a great honor to be part of this operation.
This is an action personally participated by the most prominent boss of the Inquisition. It is a battle that will be recorded in the "Holy Secret Codex", and they are participating in history and making history!
The minefield of the stinky leaf melon has been swept out of a smooth road, just wait for a while, and wait for the stinky cloud to dissipate, and you can pass.
The two adjudicators looked resolutely ahead, which now looked like an open field, a swamp with green grass and puddles, but they knew that it was the devil's trick, it was distorted, it was covered, and it was the inheritance of this power (electricity) that mortals had built a prosperous hell.
Yes, hell, materialistic desires, depraved hearts, under the guidance of the devil, the sinners use stinking money to create a hell that corrupts their souls, live in it, and are content......
"Sage, are you bombarding the protection of evil with light and thunder?" Andrei asked Nerva for instructions.
"I have a vague feeling that there is a devil hiding here who has a bit of a reputation in hell, and this trip is not that simple, but try it, it will be a good experience for you. ”
In fact, Nerva didn't feel anything unusual at all, he didn't have the same sharp talent as Kane in this life. It was only through his channels that he knew a lot of dark wizards and dark forces that were sinking here.
With these words to foreshadow, no matter whether you win or lose, there are steps to go down. This is the intention of this deception.
As for Andrei, after making up his mind, he felt that Nerva was really not in vain, powerful, but cautious, and considerate of his subordinates, so he told the priests that pride and radicalism were original sins that needed to be constantly vigilant and overcome.
"Cheer up, don't be slack off because the early stage is smooth!"
Nerva hugged his arm, secretly satisfied, his brain was good, and more importantly, the brainwashing system of the Inquisition that has been continuously improved over the years is very good, creating a qualified warrior of faith, thanks to the "Psychology" that the devils have taught to mortals, and has been deepened and refined by mortals, Amen.
Yes, as Kane had predicted, the Inquisition was keeping up with the times.
The world is in motion and constantly changing, and anyone who can't keep up with the times will be eliminated, the Bible can be changed, the organizational structure of the Holy See can be changed, and even the strategy and content of sermons must be moderately adapted to the official governing philosophy of mortals and the mainstream values, and then guided and adjusted.
Then, naturally, the system of the inquisition can also be adjusted, and it should be adjusted. In this era when the popularity of computers is still relatively limited, the inquisition has long been effectively used, and even Nerva is a little expert in keyboard input and knows C++.
C++ is not used here, but C4, the so-called light thunder, C4 occupies a large proportion, and picric acid was used a hundred years ago......
