025. Scripture Lessons
“…… The Gospel, the Sermon on the Mount, mentions that an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth is not revenge, but the same act to restrain the evildoer, and the higher one, to tolerate the evil with good deeds, stretch out his right cheek and let him fight again, regardless of honor or disgrace in his heart, and in the future he will have a fair judgment of the Lord......"
Very good standard response, this question was accepted by the young teacher.
Then.
"If a man does evil, how long will the wrath of the Lord last?"
"Forever! For it is mentioned in the book of Jeremiah that because you have aroused my wrath to the Lord, my wrath burneth forever.
"Briefly! In the book of Micah, it is mentioned that the Lord is always merciful and merciful......"
There are two answers to this question, the first one is answered by Bran, and the second is given by the priestly students.
Bran found that the disciples of the aristocratic sect on his side were not very good at scripture, and he didn't know how high he was above them.
Simon once taught Bran on this topic, and in the Illuminati family, because of the large number of scriptures and the errors made in copying, many believers believed in the scriptures they studied, and when compared with them, there were often some contradictory scriptures, and later generations of priests began to come up with the idea of "harmony" in the debate and discussion, so that the contradictions were canceled.
"The two of you, swap positions and add to each other's answers."
The priest took another test, and the questions were even more difficult.
Some of the classics have never been heard of by Bran, but the clergy students are more or less able to touch them.
Most of these students will become clergy leaders and immerse themselves in the scriptures day after day, but Bran did not want to follow this path, and with the scriptures he now mastered, he could graduate step by step.
A few days later, Bran's name soon spread by word of mouth among several of the Lay Monks.
In almost every class, Bran reached the top five or even top three among the students.
In the calculation of numbers, he is even more intelligent and agile, close to genius.
That's nature.
In his previous life, he had not forgotten the mathematics, and his mental arithmetic skills such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division were pressed, and Bran reacted quickly to numbers. Plus also wrote a good hand.
This is thanks to his grandfather Howard, Bran wrote a thin and straight Latin hand, the quill pen fell, and every broken pen was full of beauty.
Copying is an extremely important skill.
The monastery fixed three monks and three scribes, who took quill pens and reed pens day and night, carefully wrote the theological scriptures on every page, neatly and without error, and finally assembled them into a book, and delivered them through the market, to every workshop, noble, and even merchant.
Bran asked the priest to rob people, and finally became every house, and then let Bran decide for himself, and Bran decided to go to the law school first.
Mathematics and finance are included in the same discipline of law, so the clergy who served in the lord's domain often also served as the treasurer.
For example, in the past 100 years, the archbishop of the Frankish Empire has taken over 80 of the past 100 years.
Since Bran's knowledge of mathematics was recognized as no longer necessary, Bran was given the task of helping to copy the transcripts and calculate the monastery's various material income and expenses whenever he attended a math class.
To the priest's delight, Bran was also proficient in the "sign language" of the priesthood.
In the earliest period, monks believed that it was not advisable to open their mouths when eating, so they invented sign language to indicate the addition of salt and oil. In addition, due to the clergy's silent practice and the relief of the worldly shelter the deaf and mute, the usefulness of sign language has increased, and it has become a compulsory study.
Being able to use sign language means that even if Bran doesn't understand something, he won't bother others to copy it.
5th, 10th, 50th, 150th...... Half a year passed quickly.
Bran treated him very well, no one in his age dared to bully him, and even took the initiative to befriend him, half a year later, Bran was appointed as the chief student, no one disagreed, Bran was so good that they didn't have a temper.
Even during the martial arts class, he was shocked by his elegant riding skills, and even Christian, an Eastern European teenager who rode horses since childhood, could not catch up with Bran.
After all, Bran was trained by Howard as a "monarch", as long as he wanted to ride a horse, at any time, he could let the servants take out the horses and practice around the manor, while Christian, who was not the heir, could only ride for a short time a day.
……
In the winter of this year, with the city of Rome, where the Holy See is located, as the dividing line, goose feathers and snow fell to the north, snowflakes fluttered, and the cold wind was bleak, and for two months in a row, Meese was covered as a snow city.
Poets who have never seen snow can praise its white beauty with a variety of beautiful words, Snow Country, Snow Capital, Snow Palace.
Children in the south fantasize about having snowball fights, but if they live in it, they feel harmful.
The bitter chill of the year, which claimed the lives of many people and caused the crops to fail, gradually decreased the amount of wheat that could be bought for every ruble of silver coin, and the price was a third worse than that of the same period last year, and the prices of other food were even higher, and the usury merchants and evil lords did not care about this.
When the time is up, you will pay as much tax as you want, forcing the number of homeless people to proliferate.
Walking outside the civilian streets, you can hear the cries of children who have not had enough to eat.
The heavy snow even caused a sick and weak student in the hospital to catch a cold, and the high fever did not go away for four days, and then he was covered with a white cloth and taken away by death.
Life was so fragile that the Great Abbey decided to open the granary for twenty days of relief.
The move was proposed by Vice President Franklin.
Abbot Heywood Carter, on the other hand, was preparing for a by-election to the "office of cardinal" in the city of Rome and had no time to take care of it.
The "cardinal" is a very high-ranking clergyman who can elect the pope, dressed in red, also known as a cardinal, with the same dignity as a count, as long as he recognizes the Holy See, the cardinal will be courteous to the local lord wherever he goes.
The news of the church's almsgiving spread quickly, through the mouths of many people.
A large number of beggars went south with the north to make pilgrimages to the north of Rome, one of the three holy places, and merchants, if time permitted, to first come to see this good monastery, and then go to Rome.
At present, there are only two of the "Three Holy Places" in the hands of the Illuminati, one in Jerusalem and one in the city of Rome, and the other in the hands of the pagans in the Iberian Peninsula of Western Europe.
The Latin pronunciation of the Knights of St. Agogo is actually the same as that of Santiago (homonym).
The Order itself was founded to recover San Diego, and in recent years it has been effective, and the most powerful Illuminati country in the region, the Kingdom of Castile, is launching the "Reconquista", gradually controlling many fortresses and fertile lands, and the population has increased significantly, but it is also very dangerous because of the war.
Jerusalem was a long way away, and few people could get to Jerusalem except nobles, merchants, or soldiers.
Therefore, the best pilgrimage option is the city of Rome.
In addition, the city of Rome held another grand ceremony this year, and the number of visitors from the north far exceeded that of the past.
