Section 91: Four layers of logic
Willing to give up his life for the sake of humanity to have one more Origin Mage, no one present can ask themselves, and Gustav is the same, but he knows that it is really possible for Thomas to do this, which is why Thomas has such a title as "Hammer of Justice".
Although the Patriarchate has always promoted Thomas as an apostat and said how evil he was, it was all for the benefit of the Paternalism, what kind of person was the real Thomas, and could those of them in high positions, especially him, a senior cleric of the Fatherhood, still not know?
This is a true father-like figure.
"Love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. ”
The only person who can really do what Norman said just now is probably this Mr. Thomas, and Gustav knows this very well.
This Mr. Thomas even really practiced this, leaving aside the incomparably high position of the cardinal of the Fathers, defecting to the Fathers and throwing himself into the arms of the Freedom Church, just to run around for those heretics and help them fight for space to survive.
This is a man who truly lives for his ideas, and in the eyes of this archbishop it seems to have no fame and fortune. So Thomas's reasoning sounded incredible at first glance, but it convinced Gustav.
If Thomas really believed that young man could become the future Origin Mage, it was really possible for Thomas to give up his life for the future of mankind, just as he had given up his position as cardinal and had not taken that difficult path.
So Gustav became more and more excited, and looked at Norman two more times, and his eyes were faintly eager.
Thomas knew his vision very well, and there have been rumors about it in the church, such as the Hardy priest in the church now.
This Hardy priest was originally just a child of bandits, from a humble background, and it was Thomas who gave him his surname, and it was because of Thomas that he was able to enter the Church of the Fathers, starting as a student of a resident priest and climbing to the position of cardinal priest today.
In addition, there are many people in the Father's Church who were single-handedly picked up by Thomas, and the fact that these people can still stand and climb up after Thomas's defection to the Father's Church shows how vicious Thomas's vision is.
And now, Thomas says that the young man next to him can become an Origin Mage in the future and gamble with his own life......
There is an unwritten tradition in the Church of the Fathers that the Fathers have been Origin Masters throughout the ages. In other words, it is possible to become the Pope only if you become a Master of Origin, and now this young man has the possibility of becoming a Master of Origin, and Thomas also intends to give him to the Father'......s Cult to cultivate, so doesn't that mean that this guy may become the future Pope?
The godfather of the future Pope, this temptation is too great!
Compared to the temptation, Gustav really couldn't think of the conspiracy, and he really couldn't think of any benefit to the Liberal God Cult and Thomas himself.
Gustav had been expecting Thomas to convince him, but now he found himself on the verge of being convinced by Thomas.
He had only one question now, and that was, who was this young man? If he was sure that there was no problem with this young man, Gustav wanted to agree to Thomas's offer right away.
Thomas, this is simply giving him a great fortune for nothing!
And as Thomas just said, Hardy seems to know who this young man is?
Gustav's mind moved, and he was thinking about whether he should send someone to inform Priest Hardy of the situation here, when he heard a voice next to him.
"Metropolitan Adamf. ”
Gustav looked sideways and saw an old man in a blue robe standing beside him, none other than Cardinal Priest Hardy Juvenstein, whom he had just sent to inform.
"Priest Hardy. ”
Gustav saluted Hardy, and was about to tell Hardy about the situation here, and by the way, ask Hardy who the young man was, but before he could speak, Hardy took the lead and said, "The saint and I have seen everything that is happening here, leave it to me." ”
Gustav had a bunch of words in his stomach, and the best thing he could do was to say, "Yes." ”
There is no way, Hadi is a cardinal priest, and his position is higher than him, and this time he is leading the legation of the Holy Maiden - the Pope ordered all dioceses along the way to take the legation as the highest order, so Hadi asked him to hand over power, and he could only hand it over obediently.
So Gustav stepped aside, and Hardy stepped up and stood where he had been, quietly looking at Norman standing beside Thomas, his eyes deep.
Gustav couldn't guess what Thomas meant, but he could.
He could even guess that there must have been something else that he didn't know about the saint and this Norman that night, and it was all seen by Thomas, who lived there, so that Thomas would put his life on the line for such a move.
What for the future of humanity?
Thomas's real intention is to send this disaster to the saint's side, so as to cause a drastic change that the Holy Religion has not seen in thousands of years, and make the Holy Religion unrest from within. Only when the Holy Church itself is in internal turmoil can the Free God Church have a real chance to rise, and finally achieve the situation of the coexistence of the two religions in Thomas's ideal.
Putting one's own life to achieve one's ideal of perfection is indeed what Thomas does.
He should have investigated the old drunkard in the first place......
“...... Don't forget, Thomas was nearby that night, and he probably saw you and the Holy Maiden pinching each other's faces, and saw that the Holy Maiden had a problem with your attitude, so he did his best to send you to the Holy Maiden. At the same time, your identity must have been investigated by the Father's Father, knowing that you are just a farmer, and it was only a matter of these two days that you met Thomas, you are very innocent, plus Thomas sacrificed his life to guarantee that you can become the Origin Mage in the future, it is possible for the Father's Religion to focus on cultivating you, coupled with the different attitudes of the Holy Woman towards you, you will have a lot of opportunities to contact the Holy Maiden, and if you don't do it, let that Holy Maiden do what you shouldn't do. ”
"Faith is the foundation of religion, if the saints who are the spiritual pillars of the Father's Religion are derailed, then there will be great turmoil within the Father's Religion, and then the Church of Liberty attacks from the outside, it is likely that the Father's Religion will fall into a huge crisis, and the Church of Freedom God can also take this opportunity to rise. ”
What Hardy thought of, Lancelot thought of as well, and was coming to Norman one by one.
"This is the third layer of logic. ”
But Lancelot thinks more than Hardy.
"Thomas has a noble faith, just so that mankind can have one more Origin Mage in the future, so he intends to sacrifice himself to fulfill you, this is the second level of logic. ”
"Because Thomas is your uncle, he wants to help your nephew fulfill your wishes, and he does not hesitate to sacrifice himself for this, which is the first level of logic. ”
Because Thomas's words were inconsistent and changeable, Norman was confused by him, and his brain was like a mess. And now, after Lancelot's analysis, he has finally straightened out the relationship and is able to clearly observe the whole situation.
"We don't know which layer of logic is the real purpose of Thomas's operation, this uncle of yours is so good at acting, we can't tell which of his words is true from his performance. ”
Lancelot even suggested one more possibility.
Perhaps, all of his three layers of logic are false, and his real purpose lies in the fourth layer of logic. ”
"We don't have much information about this fourth level of logic, and we only know that it should be related to that 'teacher', that is, the teacher of Thomas and Adrian, your ancestor. ”
