Chapter 149: The Truth Lives Forever

"Perhaps many sailor friends have seen but never paid attention to the question of why the mast of the ship is always the first thing you see when sailing on the sea, not the bow of the ship?" continued Cogellan.

"Because the real reason for this phenomenon is that the earth is round, in the shape of a ball. G. Gegellen gestured to explain the reason for this, his voice impassioned.

"This ......" Jason and Hans and the others looked at Donner with shocked expressions on their faces, and they were almost speechless, because there was such a book being developed on Cancer Island, called "One Hundred Thousand Whys", and the first reason in it was why the mast was the first thing to see when the ship appeared at sea level, not the bow.

"Commander...... Didn't you already know this? Didn't you, didn't you already know that the earth is round!" Jason and the others stammered, their expressions shocked beyond measure.

Donner nodded faintly, looking at Gogellan's eyes complicated.

This question has finally been solved, so how long will it take for the children of Cancer Island to wait, and how long will the people of the Holy Light Continent have to wait?

Gögellan's words also caused the people below to bow their heads in contemplation, especially the people who worked on the docks all the year round, and the sailors and captains who sailed, such a scene could be seen almost every day, but no one ever questioned or thought about it.

Now Cogelon has brought it up, and has clearly explained the principle of this on the high platform.

Some people understood, some people had a mess of their heads, and some people questioned it loudly.

"No way, if the earth is round, in the shape of a ball, then the person on the other side of the earth must have his feet up and his head down, how can this stand on the earth, why hasn't it fallen?"

The person who raised the question, gestured and said, "Just like this, how can you stand on the ground?"

"yes! Why!" "Why!" was the question not only of the onlookers, but also of Yuri, Jason, and others.

"Yes, Commander, why?" they asked Donner, trying to get an answer.

They believed that since Donner was able to ask such a question, there would be an answer.

Yes, Donner knows the answer, but he doesn't say.

The truth needs to be explored step by step by people themselves, and it needs to be proved through complete knowledge, theories and evidence.

It doesn't make any sense to tell them the answer directly. And no one will believe it.

Donner was silent for a moment before he said, "I don't know, I hope someone can find the answer." Just like the second question in "100,000 Whys", when the apple is ripe, why does it fall to the ground instead of floating into the sky, and when someone finds the answer, then there is an answer to this question. ”

Jason and the others fell into deep thought.

The central square was bustling, and Gellan choked for a while. He was stumped by the question, it was not that he had not thought about it, but he also had no answer.

Countless times he would also wonder if there really was a god, but he quickly rejected it, firmly believing that there was no answer because no one had found the truth.

For example, the question of whether the earth is round has not been discovered for nearly 2,000 years.

Suddenly, on the north side of the central square, there was the sound of horses' hooves on the main road, and the neighing of horses in the sky.

Donner looked up into the air, and a carriage drawn by two winged white horses sped towards the square, followed by six golden griffin knights.

Dressed in golden armor and holding silver spears, the griffin knights were obscured by the armor and guarded the chariots directly across from Gögellan.

At the end of the square, the same team of silver knights broke through the crowd and came to the square, surrounding the podium.

Donner was so squeezed by the retreating crowd that he almost fell, but fortunately Hans protected him.

"Who is this?" asked Donner in a low voice.

This group of knights was menacing and extraordinary, making the surrounding civilians avoid it again and again, and they hardly dared to approach the knights.

"Look at the tripod badge on their chests, it's the Knights of the Holy See Inquisition. Jason whispered, in the noisy crowd, afraid that these people would hear the same.

Donner's eyes froze, he had heard the Inquisition's murderous reputation more than once.

What are they here for?

This group is the most notorious executioner of the Holy See, capable of disposing of civilians at will, and even a ferocious presence that can even burn nobles at the stake.

At this time, a voice came from the carriage in the sky: "Cogellan, spread heresy and slander the goddess of light, now I arrest you in the name of God, and you will be judged divinely." ”

The voice was ethereal, but it came clearly into everyone's ears.

When the people below heard this, they were terrified, and they were afraid that they would be in trouble, knowing that this was one of the most serious crimes of the Holy See.

However, Gogellan was still not afraid, raised his head and laughed: "Hypocritical Holy See, I have been waiting for you for a long time, I have long known that there will be such a day. You deceive the world in the name of the gods, but ...... You can't stop the truth, I have no fear to die for the truth, I will wait for you in hell, watching you slowly be pulled into the abyss. ”

"Take it!" snorted coldly from inside the carriage.

The two knights rushed to the podium and chained Gogellan, but Gogellan was still smiling.

"Why!" Donner froze.

"Commander, there is no need for why. "For the common people, the Inquisition acted without any need, and even the Duke and Prince would avoid them." ”

After entering the Inquisition, is there still a chance to live?

"Hans, can you find a way to save Gögellan?" asked Donner, suppressing his anger, he was very interested in this Gogellan, and he was extremely unwilling to see such a man who was ahead of his time burned alive.

"Captain, this is Manhill City, this is the Holy See. Hans reminded him that he was afraid that Donner's brain was hot.

"Okay! I'm going to say. Donner sighed, "Let him die for the truth! ”

Cogellan was taken into a prisoner's carriage and taken away by the Inquisition, and the people of the square slowly dispersed.

On the top floor of a building directly south, the Marquis of Rist, Manhill, watched it all with a smile.

One of the counts beside him was puzzled and asked, "My lord, why did you protect Cogellan at the beginning and let him speak, and now let the people of the Holy See take him away?"

Marquis Rist smiled: "Although I don't like that old thing in the Mesfield family, I have to say that I still agree with some of his views.

I don't like the Holy See directing the affairs of the kingdom to the Holy See, the kingdom is His Majesty's kingdom, not the kingdom of the Holy See, and if someone can deal a blow to the Holy See, I still support it. But...... I don't want to openly oppose the Holy See, so when Gogelan dies, he dies, and I get what I want, and he dies as he deserves!"
