Marz was executed in the ruins, and Cumberland, the son of God, solemnly promised to lead the people out of poverty, giving everyone a glimmer of hope.

Five witnesses to Marz's crimes were taken away by the Church and died at the stake shortly after, all without Cumberland's knowledge.

The poor were so enraged that they lost their minds and no longer believed that the light of God could shine into their dilapidated dark houses and bring about a change in their fate. The people who roared did not have the right course of action, and since it was the church that provoked them, it was reasonable that they should attack the temple, but they were deeply afraid of the church, and vented their emotions to the nearest rich area, which seemed to be a protest against the injustice of fate.

The men of the slums, like a herd of beasts, rushed into the dwellings of the rich, began to smash and loot, and even killed people*** The aimless and unorganized made them quickly lose control and give full play to the evil side of human nature, but they underestimated the power and resources that the rich have. The rich man, recovering from his initial panic, quickly informed the city guards and the Church, and a large number of troops were quickly assembled, and the well-trained soldiers launched a bloody suppression in the face of the poor who were powerless. Soon, a riot in the city subsided, and the streets were littered with corpses and blood, with the occasional cry.

Peggy, with her face covered, pretending to sit mysteriously by the crystal ball, told the Son of God the news that the Church had executed the witnesses and the poor people at the "right" moment, and Cumberland was shocked to hear the news, which he never imagined would come about. Cumberland rushed to the place where the accident had happened, and when he dismounted, he saw the situation in front of him, and felt that his hands and feet were cold, all of this was caused by him! In the heart of the Son of God, guilt and helplessness had surpassed anger, and he finally understood that with his own strength, he wanted to do something right, but unfortunately it did not bring the desired consequences.

Cumberland sat down on the side of the street with a grim face, his eyes straight at the soldiers cleaning up the corpses and bloodstains, and slowly, a catastrophe would be covered up, and the streets would become clean and quiet again, as if nothing had happened. A mother was holding the body of her young daughter and crying bitterly, the cry pierced Cumberland's heart, yes, the innocent girl didn't hurt anyone, but she was **** and died, who was wrong?

What is the difference between them and wild beasts if there is no hope in life, and even spiritual sustenance is destroyed? They don't want to be beasts, they want a peaceful and peaceful life, but they can't even get the basics, and finally someone has pressed the last straw that makes them run to the ground.

Are these wealthy people from well-to-do families? Their affluence is not all dishonorable, and there are many people who, through hard work and wisdom, have earned considerable incomes. Moreover, they did not hurt anyone, but the rich themselves, and it was precisely because of wealth that this group of people became the target of attack.

Are they soldiers wielding weapons on the streets? They are just carrying out orders to protect the peace of the city, and there is a vicious riot, as a guard, of course, they rush to the place of the accident without delay, and suppress the rioters who have lost their minds by force, and at that moment, no one will calmly explain a big reason, killing people and setting fires (*** is going on, of course, it is violence to counter violence.

Is it himself, is it because he has punished the bullies? Is it that he sees Marz like a devil, doing whatever he wants in the slums and is indifferent?

So what is it, and how can we solve these problems? Cumberland realized that if he didn't find the answers, he would lose his direction, and even he would question his faith. Indeed, what is the use of faith? Can it solve the suffering of the poor, can it restrain human anger, can it balance social injustice, can it make conflicts and wars no longer happen? It cannot! In the face of many things, faith is so impotent that you can't use faith to convince anyone, or to solve specific problems.

Isn't it too funny to talk about eternal life with someone who can't live?

This time, the revolt of the poor shocked Cumberland too much, and he fell into an unprecedented predicament. Some time ago, the Son of God thought that he had found the right way out, but now, he even began to doubt the role of faith, this was a naked betrayal of Lord St. Ossidine, thinking of betrayal, he had difficulty breathing, he was struggling, in the depths of his soul, this betrayal would never be allowed to happen, Cumberland felt that he was torn in half, but could not find a way out.

Like a wooden stake, he remained motionless on the side of the road, recalling in his mind what he knew about human history. Although there were many people, soldiers and rich people knew Cumberland, they did not dare to go up to say hello, everyone knew that the referee was crazy, unreasonable, and it would not be good if he caused trouble to himself, so he simply assumed that he did not exist, and no one bothered him.

Cumberland is like a shell that exists apart from reality, everyone sees him, and just like they don't see him, he is detached from things, has no connection with the world, and coldly watches everything that happens, the thousand-year-old history of mankind, flowing in the heart, turbid, tumbling and agitating. Cumberland finally let out a long breath and concluded: "The root of all this lies in the irrationality of the system, the existence of the church system, and the knot of injustice. ”

But is it necessary to overthrow the Church, and if the Church is overthrown, how can we spread the faith, and if we do not spread the faith, how can we fulfill the task of St. Ossidine?

God, who's going to guide me so I don't get into a dilemma?

When he opened his eyes, it was already late at night, and Cumberland decided to take a walk around the slums to see how they were doing. The Son of God came to the narrow and dirty streets of the slums, thinking that they were all asleep, but in fact none of them slept, and the women became widows, and the children had no fathers, and the slums became a great river of weeping, and there was no sorrow everywhere. Someone found the chief magistrate, and the women rushed out, without a trace of fear or concern in the face of the supreme ruler of the empire, constantly cursing him, and even spitting at him.

Cumberland walked in the river of weeping, his mind was so desolate that he bowed his head and let them curse and spit on him, and the scolding beat him to the heart like a hammer. Cumberland also let out a cry in his heart: "How can I have emotions, who gave me emotions?, Lord St. Ossidine, didn't you say that I don't have a trace of affection for the world of the plane?" )
