Verse 87: For the sake of peace
Falsely preach the will of the Father?
The hat was so big that Gustav didn't dare to ignore it, otherwise if he continued to urge Duke Lake to give the order to attack, it would be as if he had acquiesced in the hat that Norman had given him, and was about to kill people at this moment.
He opened his mouth and was about to reprimand this daring fellow for talking nonsense, but Norman spoke in front of him again.
"God the Father teaches us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. ”
In full view, Norman said that he had studied theology with Franklin and had read some of the words of God, and although he could not remember them, the Knights Templar remembered them very well.
Norman's right hand was pressed on his chest, and his expression was quite reverent, coupled with this quote from the father, which made everyone at the scene in a trance for a while.
Is this guy a Liberty Cult or a Paternal believer? It's really okay to stand next to the Patriarch of the Liberty Church and recite the Father's quotes.
And after hearing Norman's words, Gustav couldn't help but swallow back what he was about to say.
Now he obviously can't reprimand this guy for talking nonsense, after all, Norman suddenly burst out with a quote from the father for some reason, how can he rebuke the word of the father for nonsense?
You have to go around this Father quote and rebuke the other person.
But before Gustav could figure it out, Norman continued.
"I don't expect you to do this either, after all, you're just a minor bishop of Cárdenas, and we can all understand that you can't reach this level of thought. ”
Upon hearing this, Gustavon was furious, but he could not refute it: if he was going to refute it, wouldn't he agree with "love our enemies"?
In the end, Gustav could only hold back his breath and remain silent, listening to what the heresy had to say.
The situation is like this, he doesn't believe that this guy can turn the world upside down with just one mouth.
Seeing that Gustav was silent, Norman greatly admired Lancelot's wisdom, and at the same time relieved his hanging heart.
This Gustav is a big man at first glance, and the real big man should be the same level as Duke Lake. To reprimand this big man in front of so many people, he mustered up quite a lot of courage.
Fortunately, the other party did not have a seizure, as Lancelot expected.
So Norman perked up and continued.
"Then let's take a step back and ask you to love your friends, love your brothers and sisters, you can always do it, right?"
Gustav held his own identity, so naturally it was impossible to respond to him, and he didn't even bother to hum. But it doesn't matter, Norman didn't expect Gustav to respond to him, and acquiescence was enough.
"Well, after all, as the bishop of the Father's Cult, I believe you can still do this, but I don't see such a sign in your actions. You don't even see these soldiers, these mages as your companions, as your brothers and sisters, in your heart, they are just your ladder to the crown of power! Not to mention loving your brothers and sisters, you don't even see them as human beings!"
"You have a mouthful of the will of the Father, but the great Father is never only in your mouth, not in your heart!
Norman was addicted to buttoning hats, and this hat was thrown at Gustav's head one after another without money, one bigger than the other, and when he received this last huge hat, Gustav finally couldn't hold it anymore, and in his excitement, he couldn't help but open his mouth and scold: "Shit!"
Gustav's usual self-cultivation is not bad, and he is also very urban, if he wants to change to other words, he can ignore it, but Norman's hat is too big, and he directly deducts the father. He never imagined that he, a faithful believer in God the Father, would one day be labelled like this, so that in a state of agitation, the high-ranking archbishop could not help but burst out like a rough commoner.
This is exactly what the authorities are obsessed with. No matter how intelligent you are, once you are involved in the things you are most nervous about, you can't help but go out of order.
It's good that Gustav's foul language didn't explode, but as soon as it exploded, he was immediately caught by Norman and used the topic to play.
"It turns out that the Father is really just an object that can be used in your heart, and you actually scolded the Father for being shit!"
When Gustav heard this, a mouthful of old blood almost spurted out of his chest, but this was not the time to vomit blood, so he had to quickly refute it.
"What I just said was that you're shit!"
......
As Norman spoke, the situation gradually relaxed from the tense state of confrontation, which was most in line with Duke Lake's wishes. So he withdrew his right hand from the top of his head, and watched with interest as Norman and Gustav bickered in the air, hoping that they would better keep spraying like this, and never stop, or he would be in pain.
Thomas also stood aside, quietly watching, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
And the giant man standing in front of Norman like a mountain to shelter them from the wind and rain did not expect to be a talker, and when Norman and Gustav were spraying each other, he couldn't help but interject and whisper a few words as soon as he heard the wonderful part.
"That's right, this Gustav is a monster with a head full of power!"
"Well said, he didn't treat the people in their church as his brothers and sisters at all!"
"That's right, God the Father is a piece of shit......!"
Cuarón's grumbling was so much that the thin old man was a little embarrassed to listen to, and after glancing at Thomas, he unconsciously quietly moved back again, as if trying to pretend that he didn't know the big man.
It's a shame.
Norman and Gustav squirted and got back to the point, no longer dwelling on shit.
Originally, too, the problem of "shit" can only be played with words to disgust Gustav, and the real Gustav army has something else.
“...... You say that you follow the teachings of God the Father and love them as your own brothers and sisters, so why do you urge them to die? You don't know who this person next to me is, he is the four-star white-robed mage and the renegade, Thomas, Cappuccino, Julius!"
"It's Calpunia, it's not cappuccino. ”
Lancelot reminded in his mind.
...... No matter, it's pretty much the same anyway.
Norman assumed that he had made no mistake and did not look back and change it, so as not to disturb his thoughts, and went on.
"You also know that among these civilians around the square are a large number of elite warriors and mages of the Cult of the Free God!"
Norman waved his hand to the right, and his gaze crossed the Holy Army to the dense crowd of civilians caught between the Holy Army and the heavily armed soldiers, his eyes full of pride, as if the civilians who were crying wolf were all "elite warriors and mages of the Cult of Liberty".
This is into the play.
"You even know that in the Eighth District, in the Ninth District, the Freedom God Cult has already buried 16,000 soldiers, and these soldiers are now coming!"
Good guys, the strength of the army has directly multiplied several times.
And Norman's expression at this moment is also becoming more and more excited, high-spirited, scolding Fang Xuan, a picture of the general trend of the world is in my hands.
It's completely into the play.
The big man was very excited when he heard this, and said in pieces: "It turns out that the archbishop has this intention in Cárdenas, and he fought a counter-encirclement battle, and the archbishop's wisdom is really amazing......"
The thin old man's face did not change, and he was silent, but he smiled bitterly in his heart: How many people from the Free God Cult there are in Cárdenas He doesn't know?
Even with the addition of him, Caron and Thomas, there are only a dozen of them in the total attack, and now there are only two of them here, where are the elite warriors and mages, and where are the large troops of the eighth and ninth districts!? Open the portal and transport it?!
The archbishop's little friend really dared to say it.
But how many people there are in the Freedom God Church, only the thin old man knows, and the father does not know what God teaches.
So Gustav's face became solemn.
Looking at Norman's expression, this statement does not seem to be fake, of course, this kid is not credible, it is Thomas who really makes him believe.
This kind of thing is too incredible, Gustav will not believe it, he has long thought that Cardenas will have the remnants of the Church of Liberty, so he has just been urging Duke Lake to attack quickly, and concentrate on eliminating Thomas first and then dealing with the others.
And Norman's words only put into practice the conjecture in his heart.
Duke Lake thought so too, so the bearded gentleman looked around. Of course, he couldn't see anything for the time being, and finally he could only look back at Norman in the field, and secretly prayed in his heart that this young man had better come up with something to avoid a big war, otherwise his city of Cárdenas would be destroyed.
Everyone had different thoughts, and Norman's performance continued.
With a wave of his hand, he pointed it at Gustav.
"You know all this, you know that our strength is so strong, and you still urge these soldiers to attack, which is obviously to send them to death!
You don't want to start a war? So what are you Thomas doing here? Is it for peace?
Gustav secretly cursed in his heart.
Norman, however, seemed to hear what he had said in his heart, and he raised his hands, spread his wings, and began to sigh with emotion.
"We are here for peace!"
