Chapter 164: The Trial of Heresy
Ball with Noah. Two worlds so distinct. But there is a sense of "just the same distance", which makes people feel like they are out of time.
On earth, in the age of darkness and ignorance, there have been countless times when such shameful sins have been committed in the name of God and religion.
The once ignorant earthlings have also burned those scholars who are really at the forefront of human history in this way, the most famous is the heliocentric theory instead of the geocentric theory, a great scientist named Copernicus, well, or another scholar named Bruno. I don't seem to remember it clearly.
The situation before us is so real, as if yesterday's history is repeated, and a scholar who has realized the truth of the earth's circle is about to be burned to death in the city square by ignorant and fanatical religious elements, strangling knowledge and civilization in the blue.
Thinking of this, Linya felt her mood gradually become a little angry.
Humans can be ignorant, but they can't remain ignorant forever!
On the high platform in the center of the square, the farce continued.
"But the great God of Light is merciful and forgiving. So, Kazra, now you have one more chance to make final redemption for your sins. If you can repent of your sins now, we can still save your soul tainted by evil thoughts for you." The priest in charge of the execution of the burning, with a stern look on his face, raised his chin and said, as if in a look of pity and grace, "Now, is there anything else you want to say?"
Tied to the stake, he was an elderly man with a pale head with a loose canopy, his clothes in tatters that were indescribable, and his body covered with scars of various colors, which was really shocking. It's hard to imagine that those gods would abuse an old man like this.
This. The elder scholar named Kazra struggled to raise his head, and his eyes were gloomy at the sight of the blackened crowd gathered around the execution table below.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, as if he knew that if he did not say it at this time, he would never have the opportunity to say anything again, he opened his mouth with all his might, and shouted with all his might: "My science is by no means a heresy, and you must not insult great science like this! Why does a ship that travels far away sink into the distant sea level? Why does the horizon connect with the sky? Those who are lucky enough to fly into the sky will see the outline of this world more clearly! It's just that we are too small and the world is too big, but we must not lose our hearts because of this! In the far south, we cannot see the stars on the northern horizon, and the violet sun rises a full three hours before Atlantus! These undoubted facts can only be explained by the fact that Noah is round! Wake up, ignorant people, this is science, not evil."
The old man cried out with all his might, but his crippled body had long since lost its strength, and his voice was so soft that it was completely muffled by the humming of the crowd in the square, and no one really heard what he was saying.
But Linya arrived, and heard his heartfelt call clearly. Her body, which had been transformed by the God of Creation, had an incomparably sharp ear for hearing, allowing her to hear all the final outpourings.
Linya couldn't help but be in awe of the old man. What is the most precious thing about man? Undoubtedly, it is life. Isn't it worth respecting a person who sacrifices his life in search of the truth?
In the past, the story of Copernicus or Bruno was only stored in the memory of history, as if it were just a myth or a legend. However, she never thought of it. This scene would appear alive, and such a sin was born right in front of his eyes.
The priest in charge of the execution was obviously annoyed by the stubbornness of this guy before he died, and shouted angrily: "You stubborn fellow, your heart, your soul has fallen hopelessly into an endless hell! Your sin is irreparable! Come, light a fire, and execute! Let the raging fire consume this evil soul!"
The priest, who had already raised his torch and was waiting for him, walked towards the execution rack. Just as the torch in his hand was pointing at the pyre, a crisp, loud and incomparably melodious cry suddenly sounded from the crowd: "Stop!, small."
Full of anger, high-frequency sound waves spread out in all directions with huge lethality, and the buzzing of the crowd was immediately suppressed by this scream, everyone was startled, and everyone's heart seemed to be suddenly stabbed by something, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent. The two priests, who were about to light the fire, were also startled by the cry, and trembled all over, and the torches in their hands fell off.
The one who stopped this evil act from continuing was of course Linya. Her voice seems to have some special talent and magical power, and it can be described as a powerful weapon of mass destruction. People living in Lea have learned this more than once. Now, the people of Cohen have to learn to get used to such a terrible weapon.
Before this, Namia had already noticed the change in Princess Linya's expression, and seemed to feel something very wrong, so she had already grabbed her hand and tried to calm her down. Emperor Herman and "Empress Cong'er are most worried that the little princess will cause trouble everywhere, and he has told Namia again and again to take good care of the little princess."
But Linya clearly had no intention of dismissing the trouble.
I'm in charge of this matter!
The priest was also taken aback, but came back to his senses and shouted at the crowd with trepidation: "Who dares to disturb this solemn ceremony?"
"O princess" Although Namia tried hard to stop the little princess's possible impulsive behavior, whispering in her ear to reassure her, Linya still broke free of her hand and walked out of the crowd. Seeing this, Suzanne and Evan had no choice but to follow her and guard her sides.
Solemn ceremony. Linya suddenly wanted to laugh, but held back and just sneered.
At this time, Linya was still wearing a beautiful hood made of rich cotton velvet, which covered most of her face so that it could not be seen, but the priest seemed to have sensed something unfathomable, and his whole body seemed to be as cold as falling into an ice cellar. Summoning up the courage to ask, "You." Who are you, what do you want to do?
Linya raised her finger and pointed at the man who was tied to the stake seven, and said in an emotionless voice, "Let that person go." He was right. He was not guilty. ”
The tone is calm, but it is extremely resolute, and there is no thought of refusal at all.
The crowd around them was buzzing again.
Namia's concern was certainly understandable. Previously, because of his gaffe, he almost caused a war between the Holy See and the Red Leaf Empire, causing the Red Leaf Empire and his father to suffer heavy losses because of his own rashness.
And what is in front of us will inevitably lead to a conflict with the Holy See again.
But Linya still decided to do it. Because this time, she knew she was right. There was no reason for her to allow this wrongdoing and foolishness to continue, especially in front of her own eyes. Since you have encountered it, you must stop it, the only choice.
Thinking of the previous experience of the conflict with the Holy See, Linya suddenly understood a truth. Strength and power are the eternal truth of the world. Even the Holy See is bullying the weak and fearing the hard.
Don't be afraid of them. Besides, I'm still a "god." They're supposed to come to worship me!
"What, what's the matter?" said the priest, who seemed to be a little blinded, suddenly came to his senses again, and put on a straight face, and with an arrogant look on his face, "Ridiculous! Who are you? How dare you despise this sacred doctrine!"
"Shut up! Don't be rude to Her Royal Highness Princess Linya Landis 7 Severia!" Susanna, with a spark in her eyes, stepped forward and shouted a shout. She didn't understand why the little princess was so determined to meddle in this matter, but since it was her will, she couldn't disobey it. And in the current situation, it is obvious that it is necessary to identify yourself.
The priest was startled and stunned for a moment. The crowd suddenly exclaimed as if it had exploded, and all eyes focused on Linya.
Princess Linya from the Momiji Empire has arrived in Cohen and will continue to be the new queen of the Kingdom of Sachnea, which is a major event that has long been spread throughout the streets of the city, and almost everyone knows about it. It's just that the commoners in the market, of course, will not have the opportunity to meet those noble members of the royal family with their own eyes.
In fact, the guards who had been secretly following the guards in plainclothes walked out of the crowd and pushed the crowd back to isolate. Linya lifted the hood from her head. His face was revealed.
That peerless face, holy and elegant temperament, makes people so dazzling that they dare not take a second look.
There was another exclamation from the crowd.
Because this little princess did not grow up in Sachnea, it is still very mysterious to the people here. And I also heard many magical rumors about this little princess, one of which was that this little princess was said to have an angelic beauty that could fascinate all the princes and knights.
The priest was completely dumbfounded, although he had never seen this stunning girl in front of him, it was obvious that these people were not lying, it was exactly the same as the rumors, and it was impossible for anyone to dare to pretend to be the princess of the Sachnean Kingdom in this Sachinia Kingdom.
If it's just an ordinary princess, it's not a big deal. But the various rumors of this little princess from the Red Leaf Empire have long been an open secret, you know, she is a powerful figure that even the cardinals and even the pope dare not provoke, the rumored incarnation of the moon goddess Gaisha in the world.
The priest swallowed hard, tried to put a smile on his face, and with a stiff expression, he said, "Ah, this," "Please wait a moment, and I will go and inform His Excellency!" "Aven, please free this old man. Take him back to the castle and ask the imperial doctors to treat his wounds well, Linya was not interested or able to wait for anyone to come, and gave the order to the captain of her own guard. Evan didn't speak, just nodded silently, ran forward, and jumped onto the high platform with a leap. Swing the sword qi, slightly F
