Chapter 2 Troubled Times

Hundreds of years have passed since the war between man and god, people have slowly recovered their quiet and simple life, the war is still not stopped, the rule of the successive kings over Kadia is getting weaker and weaker, and finally the entire Swadia kingdom fell apart, and the great war between the god of war and the god of darkness has slowly been forgotten by generations of people, and finally became a myth This is a cold winter, the ice and snow will freeze the earth, the cold air makes people unable to breathe, the river seems to be afraid of the cold, wrapped in a layer of frozen plain clothes, the fishermen on the river surface cleverly dug out an ice hole, and cast fishing nets in the ice cave to fish。

"Hey, how is the harvest today?" The fishermen on the ice greeted each other, "Hey, how else can there be a lot of fish, the lords have circled it, and you can catch a few small fish here" The fisherman named Lauke replied helplessly, suddenly, a lightning flashed in the sky, followed by a loud thunderclap, and the huge thunder split the stones on the top of the mountain, emitting a dazzling golden light from the cracks, "Oh, Lord, did I say something wrong?" Old Lauke was so frightened by the thunder that he hurriedly shrank up and prayed. Look, Laugh, the stone is glowing!" The fisherman next to him pointed to Laugh, "Oh, yes, what could that be?

So old Lauke led some of the brave fishermen to the side of the boulder that had been split at the top of the mountain, "What is this?" "Whoever goes to see it may be a treasure!" "Oh! no, no, no, it may be a test of the Lord!" "you, the Lord will not test you little fisherman!" The fishermen pushed and shoved each other, but no one dared to go over.

"Young people get out of the way. I'll take a look," Lauk, as the head of the village, walked over to the boulder first, "Oh my God, what's going on?" Old Lauk couldn't believe the scene in front of him, a young man with a strange face and a strange dress. He was huddled in a crevice in the boulder.

"Oh my God, who is he?, how can he be in the stone?" "Yes, it looks like he's been living here for a long time, if you don't look for him and take it with any value," the younger fisherman looked at the strange and gorgeous clothes with a greedy look, "Go and listen to the village chief," the young man on the side flattered the village chief, "Oh, maybe this is really a gift from the Lord," the village chief said, "Carry him back first, this young man shrouded in holy light!" In this era, the golden light was considered to be the light that could only be emitted or given by the Holy Lord, and the people at that time were too superstitious. Anything that is unsolved has something to do with the Lord.

So the group carried the strange man back to the village, and the villagers who heard the news rushed to gather to see the man who seemed to have been shrouded in holy light.

"Village Chief, is this really the man who has received the grace of the Lord, and why does he look so peculiar?" the villagers could not find the right words to describe the man in front of them. He could only say, "Village Chief, could he be a demon punished by the Lord! You can see what he is wearing, it really resembles!" The villager seemed to have seen a demon and pointed out, "What? Demon! Have you seen what he looks like? Will the demon have the holy light of the Lord? When we found him, he was indeed shrouded in holy light! We saw it with our own eyes!" Another villager seemed to disagree with the demon's statement, and repeatedly defended, "Yes, yes, we saw it too!" The other people who had found the strange man should agree. Look at the face, the nose, the mouth, and the pimple underneath the mouth. It's not the same as us! So, if you want me to say that it must be a saint by the grace of the Lord. Come to test our piety!" The villager saw that no one had denied his claim, so he proudly pinched the man who was called a saint and said his opinion.

"All right, you have a point, whether it is a saint or a demon, let Pastor Jack come and see!" the village chief saw that the villagers were arguing, so he got up and said, "Yes, that's it!" The villagers should also drink, "Oh, it hurts, who? who pinched me, my acne! Grandma's don't touch that!" Just as the people were arguing, the strange man felt the pain of the villagers' pinching and woke up.

"Oh, Holy Lord, what is he talking about?" "Oh, how do I know I think he seems to want to go to the hut" The man's sudden awakening startled the villagers, "You all get out of the way." Father Jack is here, let Father Jack come and see!" Outside the door, an old priest wearing a monk's white robe and holding a cross walked in, and he heard the name of the village say that a strange man who did not know whether he was a saint or a demon came to the village, and was called by the villagers to verify it with holy water.

"Oh, child, who are you, come and tell me that the merciful Lord will forgive you, whether you have come for sin or not!" the priest recited the popular prayer and stroked his hand over the strange man's head.

"Ah, my head hurts, where is this?, why am I here??," the man looked around strangely, looking at the strange villagers who clearly showed the appearance of foreigners, and he wanted to try to communicate, so he said, "Hello???????" He looked around again, and when he saw the white-robed priest, he said to himself, "No, is this heaven? Ahh

He flapped his head frantically, and his hard thinking gave him a headache, "Do you have water? Give me something to drink! Coke is the best! Coke is the best! Drink coke!" he said, explaining in sign language to the people next to him, "What did he say?" The people looked at the strange man who was crazy and dancing like a monster, and guessed what he wanted to say, "It seems that he still wants to go to the hut", "Stupid, why is he pointing his mouth if he wants to go to the hut!" The village chief slapped the talking villager viciously and said to the priest, " Father, did he say he was thirsty?" I guess it's right! Just give him a drink of holy water to see if he's a demon or a saint!" "Yes, yes, try it."

After speaking, he handed the cup with holy water in his hand to the young man, "Come on, good boy, let's see if you are a saint or not!"

"Oh, what is this? Forget it, it doesn't matter so much," and the young man gulped down the liquid from the cup, the so-called holy water. It's just that the tap water that has been recited by the priests for a few days, the only difference is that the water has been in a cup for hundreds of years, "Ahh

Seeing that the young man had not been turned into a cloud of smoke for a long time, the priest loudly declared: "Oh, O people of the Lord! He is not a demon! Look, he is not melted by the holy water!" "Yes, yes, it seems that he is really a man who has been protected by the Holy Lord! He is a saint!"

People cheered, shouted and enthusiastically lifted the "saint" aloft in the air, and the pious villagers reached out to caress the body of the "saint" in order to be protected by the saint.

"Oh, what are you doing, you crazy people, let me go!, hey, take your dirty hands off my ass!," the saint was clearly not used to the warm welcome of the cultists, and he cried out loudly, "I'm still a virgin!

Seeing this, the priest shook his head and said silently, "Is this really God's arrangement?"

Over the next few days, the Son was placed in a small monastery in the village, where he ate and lived with Father Jack the Elder and taught him the language, during which time he slowly discovered. He has become a time-traveler, and he has come to a strange and war-torn continent - Kadia, where he is located in a village called Rudy. It belongs to Duke Mateas of the Kingdom of Rhodoc. Every day, in addition to learning the language with Old Jack and some basic information about the continent, he is thinking about his future, because he is now starting to be confused.

He remembered that his name in his previous life was Fan Ming, a senior high school graduate who had just finished the college entrance examination, and he was an orphan. Although I didn't know who my parents were since I was a child. But the grandfather who took him home loved him very much, although life was bitter, but his heart was always very sweet until he met her in three years of high school, they were very happy, he believed that they would be able to break the spell of 'high school students' love is only three years', he felt that his future would definitely be with her, but he was wrong, I remember that day she broke up with him, just like she said. "The time of dreaming is over, let's face it!"

When he got home, he asked himself countless times, "Is it because I'm living too dreamy?" or are you too realistic?" and his tears lingered over and over again. He felt that his whole world was ruined, until he was tired and tired, and then he fell asleep deeply, and in his dream, a guy in a red cloak was holding a long sword, saying something in words he didn't understand, and then he threw the long sword, which instantly changed into a long lightning bolt, and slashed towards a mountain, and then he passed out, and when he woke up, he appeared here, thinking of this, he slowly raised his hand and looked at the watch she had given, and couldn't help but cry again, "What you can't get, maybe it's really time to stop now" At this time, Jack's voice sounded behind him" Oh, my dear saint, what are you thinking about that makes you so sad? Are you homesick? Or your lover?Oh, you should tell me about your home, right?" Fan Ming has learned a lot of the languages of the Cadia continent in the few days he has lived here, and simple communication is no longer a problem.

"Yes, I mean, I do miss my home! He is far, far away in the far east, where it is beautiful and rich, and there are so many people whom I love and love me, but I don't think I can go back" "Why, you should be clear, since the Lord has sent you, there must be a reason for it! You are the one whom the Lord has sheltered, and you should be happy! You must know that the existence of all things must have its reason! What is stored is reasonable!"

"Ao, what is stored is reasonable!" Fan Ming fell into deep thought, "Oh, dear priest, you are right! What is stored is reasonable, I think, I must have come here for a reason! I will look for it! One day, when everything is clear, I believe I will return to my home!" "You are right, Fan, you will succeed! You are the one who is protected by the great Lord of our God! By the way, do you people there also pray to the Holy Lord?" "Ohaha, yes, yes, as pious as here! ”

Here, Fan Ming can't guarantee that if he is not a saint, those fanatical followers will not kill him as a heretic, even though the relationship with Old Jack is already very tacit.

After Old Jack left, Fan Ming stood alone by the statue of the Holy Lord and said silently, "From here, the completely injured Fan Ming is dead, and he is replaced by a Fan Ming who wants to fight against this troubled world, with my modern knowledge, I don't believe it, and I can't play with you old antiques! Haha, the ridiculous troubled times are waiting for me!" (To be continued......)
