There is nothing more sad than one's descendants trying to trouble themselves, or even slashing their ancestors. But when he thought back to Christina's beautiful face and her occasional inadvertent sadness, Sinampe couldn't hold back the slightest hatred - it had been since the beginning.

Maybe it was instinct that made Sinampei feel like this, faintly reminding that Christina may be your loved one, and you shouldn't kill her.

Sinampei believes that Theresa must feel this way.

In fact, for such a sad fact, Sinan Pei has long been mentally prepared, but emotionally, he has always refused to admit that it is true.

But now that he heard the truth from Theresa's mouth, Sinampei will no longer deny the facts, he is not a person who likes to escape from reality.

Looking back now, Sinampe also roughly understood when Theresa found out about this problem - in the port of Masaak, when Theresa became strange, when she tried to break through the bottom line and get close to herself, she found out about it.

"You see, you have to believe in your own heart, there is no difference between nobles and commoners, and your noble blood does not bring you those so-called innate 'evil virtues'. We all have the original sin of man, and you are not more than others, nor are you anything less than others. "The Pope really deserves to be the most professional clergy, and it is difficult for Sinan Pei to find fault with this chicken soup for the soul.

Unhurried, unhurried, step-by-step to lure Theresa's thoughts in the right direction.

"Why don't I tell you another story, kid. "The Pope looked like he remembered something from a long time ago—the old man was like that, whether you were the Pope or anyone else. The old heart needs to be soothed by beautiful or sad memories. out of the memories. There's nothing interesting left in a short life.

Many elderly people have lost interest in such meaningless things as entertainment.

Theresa nodded slowly.

"I want to think about it...... That was nearly seventy years ago, when the Selman Empire was nowhere near as powerful as it is today. The Pope did not leave Selman in three sentences, it seems that the empire has brought him too much pressure, "At that time, they did not even unite the Tuk, and some small tribes were still surviving on the fringes of Selman. Oh. I digress. ”

"Get the conversation back on track. It was in the city of Jenova nearly seventy years ago, in a fairly ordinary family of silk merchants. The family lived on the small shop run by the male owner, and although silk could be seen coming and going from his shop every day, no one in the family could wear beautiful silk clothes. ”

"Because it's so expensive, wearing clothes like that far exceeds the family's financial means. ”

"But the child of this family is a little bastard, wandering in the flower street and willow lane all day long, not only squandering the family's money, but also always causing trouble outside. Of course, such a child is not something that ordinary families can afford. So the kid began to try to get money outside, at first, just stealing, and then slowly becoming emboldened, he began to extort money...... In the end, in order to get money, they all branded the idea of the spoils of the republic. ”

But the child's parents were very tolerant of him. Although the family situation is getting worse and worse year by year, I still try my best to meet the requirements of my children. ”

"It's hurting him. Sinan Pei couldn't help but say. His parents have had high standards for him since he was a child...... But thinking of his own parents. Sinan Pei began to feel homesick again, and he also remembered his child's childhood sweetheart again...... This is always the case in a person's life. Sadness is inevitable.

"Well, maybe you're right. "The Pope nodded sluggishly like an ordinary old man, "until one day, as if the parents really couldn't bear it anymore, they drove the child out of the house and sent him to the convent. And it was sent to monasteries outside the Republic. It's hundreds of kilometers away from home...... Oh, ascetics, you should know, that is not a human being. ”

This Sinampe knew that in order to get closer to God, many ascetics would use whipping. Hunger strikes and other masochistic methods to practice. In reality, however, only a very small number of people who truly believe in true fidelity practice in this way. Most of those who practice in this way are criminals, and they are the most heinous criminals - usually they sacrifice all their wealth to enter the monastery in order to escape the punishment of the law or the pursuit of their enemies. But the price is to live this kind of life where people are not ghosts and ghosts.

The authority of the Church was strong in this era, and as long as a person entered the monastery, he would be given safe shelter, and no one would dare to risk the condemnation of the world. Often, however, penance is unavoidable as a price to live, and such monasteries are strictly regulated.

"This child hated his parents very much at that time, why did he regard himself as a heinous scumbag and want his children to live such a miserable life. "That anger can literally lift the bricks of the roof," the Pope said slowly. ”

But as time passed, this resentment waned. The Pope shook his head, "Within a few years, because of this child's intelligence and good appearance, he became an assistant bishop and lived a decent life. At this time, his first thought was to return to Jenova to see his parents. ”

Sadly, when he returned to Jenova, his parents were gone. Questioning the neighbors, it turned out that the couple had gone bankrupt and could not pay their debts, and had been murdered by thugs hired by the Jacobs to collect debts—on the third day after they had sent their children away. The Pope wiped the corners of his eyes with his shriveled left hand, which held a scepter that symbolized earthly authority.

The boy wanted to reconcile with his parents and let them live a life without having to go to work, but he never saw his parents again, and the child did not even have the courage to go to heaven after he died. And he was sure that his parents would go to heaven. ”

"We have an old saying: 'The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the child wants to raise but does not wait.' Sinampei shook his head heavily.

He and the Pope ...... Faced with the same problem. Although it is not the same when you dig deeper, the story just now, as soon as you hear it, you will know that it is the Pope's own account, but no one will find out. (To be continued......)
