Chapter 63: The Reformation?
(5th Watch)
What Egil feared most now, naturally, for granted, and very obvious, was the nun he loved, Her Excellency Joan of Arc. Egil often wondered if Joan of Arc was the last good man in the world. And every time he spent a little longer with Joan of Arc, Egil's idea became stronger. There were even times when Egil himself wondered: Could it be that Joan of Arc was really a saint, although it was funny afterwards. But I have to say that Egil has been thinking more and more like this in his heart recently.
"Joan of Arc, is Joan of Arc in there? I'm coming in. As he spoke, Egil opened the curtain of Joan of Arc's tent and walked in. It's kind of strange to say. Since Joan of Arc was influenced by him, he changed to take a bath every two or three days. Egil was thinking about pushing the door in, and then enjoying the benefits offered by Joan of Arc like an accident. But Egil thinks so, Joan of Arc is not the kind of brain-dead heroine written in brain-dead novels. Would be idiotic enough to lock the door in the shower, so Egil has not succeeded so far.
Eventually, Egil gave up on the idea. I thought in my heart that after soaking Joan of Arc in my hands, I could see the naked body at any time. There's no need to rush it. Instead, it lowered the favorability of Joan of Arc. So.
I was a little surprised.
I'm talking about Joan of Arc's nudity or something.
Because I have recently been transferred to a nun.,So I unconsciously grew long hair or something.。
Because I was very surprised for a while, I was stunned, such a cute expression or something.
Very perfect body or something.
Small waist or something, chest or something, buttocks or something, and ivory white, with water beads or something.
Of course, it definitely excludes the white glittering sword that she puts within reach.
Egil stared intently for a few seconds, trying to copy the image into his mind. He then takes a deep breath and yells, "I'm so sorry," before Joan of Arc turns around and runs out before she can react.
“...... Huh?"
That's when Joan of Arc reacted.
"Eh, eh?"
Speaking of which, Joan of Arc was recognized as Egil's lover in the whole army. So usually no one came to her tent except for Egil and a few maids that Egil had found for her. And Egil is now going to attack the city of Naples. Joan of Arc estimated that Egil would probably not return so soon. So he asked the maids to boil the water and began to bathe.
And then it came to this.
A slight blushing heartbeat.
Although it has been agreed that he and Egil will maintain a platonic spiritual love. But for being seen naked or something, Joan of Arc was completely unprepared. Thinking back to the way Egil looked at him intently, Joan of Arc suddenly shrank most of her body into the bucket and spat bubbles in the water......
Ten minutes later, Egil finally heard a gnat-like voice from inside the tent: "Come in." Immediately relieved. It seems that Joan of Arc did not get angry and cut him down. So he opened the curtain and walked in, saying as he went, "I'm really sorry just now." I didn't expect you to be in ...... Forehead ......"
Egil was a little stunned again, because Joan of Arc's dress at this time, well, how to put it, was also a little abnormal. The bumpy body is only slightly wrapped around a white bath towel, and the bottom completely exposes the two slender thighs. There is a knot on the chest, and the knot doesn't look very strong, and it looks like it can be untied with a slight pull.
"Well, that ......" Joan of Arc asked with a blushing face as she watched Egil stare at her again, and her already calm mood began to get a little agitated again. ...,
"It's beautiful, Joan of Arc. Egil sighed softly, then sat down on the chair next to Joan of Arc: "Also, why don't you get dressed?"
"I took it all to wash, and just now I found that there was no spare thing. Sister Mary told me that she would find some spare clothes. But before she came back, you came. Joan of Arc said.
Egil nodded, indicating that he already knew. The so-called Sister Mary, the little maid transferred by Egir to serve Joan of Arc, is just fourteen years old this year. Later, I don't know if I was taught by Joan of Arc or what, and I also became a little nun. It would be more appropriate to follow Joan of Arc.
"Well, you're back quickly today. Joan of Arc still looked embarrassed, and seeing that Egil was still watching her silent, she found a topic to break the silence.
"Yes......" Speaking of this, Egil was a little disappointed: "Joan of Arc, I just saw something in the city of Naples that made me uncomfortable. Originally, I thought that my heart was hard enough, hard enough that I could ignore these things, and even be able to perverted appreciation, and take pleasure in it. But I found out I was wrong. It turns out that I am not that strong yet. Joan of Arc, you say, what should I do?"
Egil asked, as he moved a chair closer to Joan of Arc's side, took Jeanne d'Arc's hands, and asked.
"Do you regret it?" or are you willing to repent of these things and promise not to commit such sins again?" asked Joan of Arc.
"I don't regret it. Egil replied firmly, "Even if I had to go back in time and ask me to choose a side, I would do so." ”
"That's true, you are such a character, on the surface you look very sleek, but in fact inside you are unusually stubborn......" Joan of Arc sighed softly, "So, what about even the most basic confessions and confessions?"
That's what only a coward does—repetitively regretting it and asking for forgiveness and forgiveness from Jesus Christ. Even God would be disgusted with such fellows, right? The more they prayed, the more God would definitely dislike them. ”
Of course, if God really exists.
After saying this, Egil added this sentence in his heart.
"You may have some truth in what you say. Joan of Arc hesitated for a moment, then whispered.
"Joan of Arc?" Egir was a little surprised to hear Joan of Arc echo his words, "What's wrong with you?"
"No, I just ...... I actually have something to say. It's just ......" Joan of Arc hesitated slightly, opened her mouth, and finally looked at Egil very seriously: "Can I trust you?"
“...... Hey, hey, hey, I'm going to put you off the stake," said Egil, who heard Joan of Arc's words, as if he had been stepped on by the tail, and said excitedly.
"yes...... If you can't trust it, I'll find no one to say that anymore. Joan of Arc said with a little self-deprecation: "Actually, in fact, I've been thinking about a lot of things these days. And a lot of things are related to you. ”
"Please, I'll do my best to please you. Egil nodded, still not letting go of Joan of Arc's hands.
"Does this crusade really represent justice? Can it really represent the will of God? What is the purpose of the gap between the Eastern and Western churches? Is it simply because of the difference in ideas, or is it because of secular power? If it is because of the difference in ideas, then who is right? If it is because of secular power. Then neither side can naturally represent the will of God. Since the clergy do not represent the will of God, what about the Pope? Can the Pope represent the will of God? Or is he just a deceitful?"...,
"Forehead ......"
Egir really didn't expect that someone like Joan of Arc would say such a rebellious remark that would deny the Crusades (in fact, there are not many who affirm the Crusades), but for the Catholic Church, about the Pope? What's the matter? Time and space are out of order, is it the age of Protestantism in the sixteenth century?
But it's not an opportunity. Speaking of which, Egil was also quite jealous of the Catholic Church. If you want to dominate the continent in the future, this group of gods can't be a threat. The struggle between the churches and the royal family has always existed and will continue to exist around the right of bishops, the right of the church to tax, the right to tithe, and so on.
This is no different from the world in which Egil lived before - from the establishment of the Papal States in the Middle Ages to the extreme of Innocent III in that era, when all the royal families of Europe were prostrate at the feet of the Pope, and the papal decrees were like the voice of God.
However, this good life did not last long, and the Black Death soon swept across the continent, severely undermining the authority of the Church. Then to the extreme rise of feudal royal power, Germany promoted Protestantism and carried out the Reformation, Britain implemented the state religion, and classified the church as a royal vassal, and France took a pope captive from the Vatican and imprisoned him in Avignon. Britain, France, and Germany, the three great European powers, each ended the domination of the Catholic Church in their own way. The other two countries that last to adhere to the Catholic faith, Austria and Spain, gradually fell into second-rate status. The Catholic Church's status plummeted. Even the last territory, Rome could not keep it......
Of course, the struggle between this church and the feudal royal family lasted for a small thousand years, and there were many repetitions during this period. Dangerous and abnormal. The slightest mistake is an endless abyss. However, as a king, Egil is such a proud character, and the future confrontation with the Catholic Church is simply certain, Egil has a little support for Joan of Arc before, and uses Joan of Arc's fame and the title of the saint to resist the influence of the Catholic Church - the construction of cathedrals named after Joan of Arc throughout the Norman Kingdom, under the management of Joan of Arc, is also a plan for a rainy day............ ,
