After Duke said this, not only Kasmai was directly stunned, but even Hera, who was standing behind him, was a little confused.

What the hell is Scientology? And he doesn't believe in God, so why is it called a Church of God? So Hera turned her head to look at Gandalf, trying to find some answers from him, but a scene that surprised her even more, Gandalf was not only not surprised, but even had an interesting smile on his face.

This makes Hera very curious, as a mage of the Dark Witch Society, Gandalf should believe in the god of magic, why he is not resistant to Scientology, and he still looks interested.

"Is Scientology the kind of heretical sect that existed during the previous trial of Galileo?"

Kasmai finally remembered what this Scientology was, that is, when he tried Galileo and several heretics in Campo de' Fiori, Duke said that the evil sect came from the Valley of Monsters, but he didn't expect that this evil sect actually absorbed Duke.

"Yes, but again, science is not a heretical sect, but a truth. ”

"Galileo's nonsense that the earth revolves around the sun is also the truth?"

Kasmai resisted, although he had to submit to Duke for the sake of power, but he still couldn't do what kind of heresy of "heliocentrism" he had to accept, and he couldn't even say anything against his will.

"Your level of education is too low, it's useless to tell you, time will naturally prove all this. And Scientology has the advantage of being able to come up with any different opinions without having to worry about being judged heretical or something. So you can disagree with my thoughts, but I respect your right to raise dissent. ”

After saying this, Kasmai's face was full of shock, it can be said that in this theocratic society, one of the biggest contradictions and conflicts is the belief in their respective gods, and even for the sake of the thoughts between different gods, the so-called holy war can be waged.

No one kind of faith can accept the dissent and impact of other ideas, and if it cannot change its beliefs and be absorbed and accepted, then it can only be judged by the Inquisition as heretical, put on the gallows or burned at the stake, and completely wiped out from the flesh.

Now Duke is able to accept his own dissent, and even respect his right to put forward different ideas, which is absolutely rare in the mainland. Even the most moderate natural sect could not do this.

Just as Cosma was shocked, he suddenly heard Gandalf exclaim, "Truth!" I finally understand why you would be so confident in calling science the truth, and disdain to explain and refute anything. Because truth is truth, it does not change with the existence of other thoughts, but proves the correctness of one's own thoughts by means. ”

"Little fellow, you have at last shown me the breadth and greatness of scientific thought, and it is very good that there are not many thoughts that can make Gandalf admire. ”

Gandalf's face was full of praise, he didn't expect Duke, a young man, to break the narrowness of his mind in a sense, and he didn't expect Duke to have this kind of mind, it seems that choosing to be hired by him in the first place is indeed not a wrong move, not to mention that science is becoming more and more interesting in his opinion.

For the surprise or exclamation of others, Duke is simply confused, this is not another world, the famous words of the Enlightenment thinker Voltaire - I do not agree with you, but I will defend your right to speak to the death.

As for being so excited? It seems that this world is not only far behind in science, but also in philosophy, and it has really become a desert of ideas under the thousand-year rule of the Holy See.

But Duke was not interested in any more esoteric philosophies, and he was not a philosopher.

"Kasmai, everything that needs to be said has been said, and I believe you have made a wise choice. ”

Duke stared into Kasmai's eyes at this time, with a faint smile on his face, and he believed that as long as Kasmai was not stupid, he would definitely make the right choice. Of course, if this guy is really firm in his faith, then Duke will call Hera and Gandalf today, and he will be prepared for the second hand.

As for the previous confrontation with the Holy See, it was purely to fool Carsmail, even if the Holy See would not execute Gandalf and them, it was impossible to gamble the lives of two masters of the same level as a great magus for the sake of a small bishop Carsmail. Not to mention that Duke didn't have any way to save him at all, and he didn't always have the good fortune to come close to breaking the chains of divine punishment.

Sure enough, there was only a brief hesitation on Carsmai's face, and he looked at Duke and said, "I can join the Church of Scientology, but I won't change my faith in the Lord." ”

"No problem, you can believe whatever you like. Duke replied completely indifferently, this is not a matter in the afterlife.

"But there is a little thing we need to do, Lord Bishop. ”

"What's the matter?" Kasmai asked vigilantly, and before he could finish his sentence, Gandalf suddenly moved, and a magic mark entered Kasmai's body.

Kasmai instantly sensed that there was an extra magical power in his body, and asked in horror, "What are you doing here?"

"I'm sorry, but it's the mark of the Dark Witch Society. Once you have any thoughts, this mark will not only reveal your identity, but also trigger a disorder of your body's magical elements, which will eventually ......"

Duke didn't finish, but made a familiar look at Kasmai.

In the face of Duke's threat, Carsmai's face was extremely angry, but he also knew that there was nothing he could do now, he just hoped that Duke would keep his promise.

"Be optimistic, Casmesman, just because you've been sent to Stormcastle with such an appointment, it's enough to see that the Holy See doesn't take you very seriously. I can assure you that following me Duke is definitely more promising than following the Holy See, and you will know that you have made a wise choice in the future!"

After Duke said this, he didn't care what Kasmai thought, and walked out of the church directly with Gandalf and Hera, carrots and sticks, believing that it was unlikely that Kasmai would turn back.

On the way, Hera said with a teasing smile on her face: "Little Duke, I really didn't expect you to get the bishop of a city so easily, it's really amazing." ”

"So-so, so-so, hahahaha. Duke wanted to be modest, but he couldn't help but smile smugly.

"But I'm curious how you look so confident that you seem to know what choice Kasmai will make, and you're so sure?"

"I'm not sure. ”

Hera thought that Duke was full of confidence and had already controlled Kasmai, so he dared to come directly to the church, but he didn't expect this to be the case.

"Then you ......"

Without waiting for Hera to continue, Duke knew what she wanted to ask, so he rolled his eyes and replied: "I'm just here to talk, so that everyone can do well, maybe of course I choose to kill him!

Hearing Duke's answer, the playful smile on Hera's face froze, she thought that Duke had such a sophisticated plan and means, and the result was that she would kill the other party if she couldn't get along, which was really simple and rude.
