Chapter 34: The Scapegoat
"Sage, since you have promised to be the earl's advisor, why don't you stay in the county?" Walking in the field of dawn, Muer asked.
"It's freer here." "I can choose to take assignments instead of letting him assign me assignments, and there are things that can't be done with him." ”
"But he's inclined to the dark?" Mul wondered.
"But after all, he believed in the light." "No matter what the church is, the world is always based on God's faith, whether He is right or wrong, he is always God in people's hearts, and whether we do it right or not, if God does not allow it, it is considered a violation." ”
Mul nodded thoughtfully, just like what they are doing now, acquiescence and permission are two different things.
"Nobles are unreliable, I've been sure since I wanted to prop up a knight to be King Arthur, they won't take that risk, they care more about the reality in front of them than those who are illusory."
"The Count didn't see us, obviously for consideration, I can't be completely obedient to Weidi like Tony and them, and the Count will not obey us like Weidi."
"So he should give a decree to sweep away heresies from above, and tell the story of the story that we should preach below."
Looking down at the bottom of the canyon, "During this time, I happened to be compiling and repairing the Dark Sacred Scriptures with peace of mind. ”
When they returned, they saw the horses grazing in the forest, their weapons and armor being disinfected by the sunlight outside the castle, and the abandoned castle had also changed its appearance, and the red color of the exterior was hooked together to form an abstract image of a giant beast.
The savage who was carrying the bucket to paint saw him come back, climbed down from the city wall with the bucket in his hand, and then pointed to his work with a proud face, "How did I draw?" ”
"It's very atmospheric, with a literary atmosphere!" He gave a thumbs up and asked, "Are you healed?" ”
The wild man waved his hand indifferently, and then continued to look at his writings, "This is the dormant red dragon, it is not finished yet, and it will be obvious when the grass is added again." ”
Hearing this, he looked behind him and said to Mu'er, "Change the herbs for him in a while." ”
He had been imagining the drafting of the Dark Sacred Texts all afternoon, and Mul had drugged the wild man and was helping him carry the bucket, but the wild man's climbing skills had obviously not yet been mastered, and at first he could only watch from under the castle.
"Preaching the devil is obviously against God, and it is difficult for the villagers to accept it, so they can pretend to be God, such as a false gospel." He pondered, then took up his pen, "Dirt is the supper that Beelzebub absorbs, and if it clings to the human body, the soul will be sucked up. ”
"There are Beelzebub eggs in the water source, and they need to be identified and killed with heat!"
"Satan cannot expel Satan, but above the mud, there is a yellow lotus that restrains the power of Beelzebub."
"If someone is possessed by a demon, isolate it to prevent the innocent from falling."
"The part of the sacrifice that God has spoken of, the part of the fat, can be filled with the water of life, supplemented by the gray and yellow things, and can cleanse the flesh that has been corrupted by the devil."
"And God said..."
Anyway, five days later, when Cook rode his horse and believed in the faith, God said yes.
He was first shocked by the mural that the savage had completed, and marveled at how he thought it was Satan's coming, and it was only after the savage was full of vanity that they gathered together to close the parchment.
Although the red dragon does not open its teeth and claws, the eyes that inadvertently glance down and the grand body all give people a sense of shock.
"Any good news?" Masturbation asked.
"Nofifi's execution at the stake, after three days of trial, was the first of a hundred years among the nobility, and now it has caused a sensation throughout the kingdom."
Cook said, "If it weren't for the Earl's testimony that the Baron was the culprit behind the last assassination of the Bishop and the eight Templars and the former Earl, several kingdoms that opposed the Church would have begun to expel the clergy." ”
"The church is unstable." "I thought they were supreme. ”
"That's without destroying the interests of the nobility." Cook said, "The Church thrived on the mutual suspicion of the aristocracy, and if all the nobles were united, the dogma of the Church would not be able to be promulgated." ”
"It's a pity that it's just a protest, the nobles will never be united." Hearing this, he shook his head slightly, and the feudal system was united, so he could barely pinch together and form a group to rob during the Eastern Crusade.
"Who's to say no, they're all filthy guys." Cook said, "In addition, Weidi has officially allegiance to Hilton, taking over the title of Nofifife, and now the barony of Nofifi is next to the Great Wasteland, and the knighthood is not hereditary, and he is completely rich." ”
"That's a good thing." "Muer won't have to worry about being chased away when he goes again." ”
"You're going to start a mission?" Cook asked.
"No, we only preach knowledge, not proselytize." With a smile, he handed over the parchment, "This is the dark tome I wrote, which records the correct way to prevent the plague, well, and some alchemy tips. ”
"People don't bathe now, but if I change their mindset and make them aware of the importance of hygiene, the soap recipe will be commercially valuable, and Piaget will make a lot of money if he uses it."
"I can tell the Count in advance." Cook said, "If this thing is worth anything in the future." ”
The royal capital, Isabel, the deacon of the merchants' guild, had just sent off a preacher of the church, and in the blink of an eye he was furious.
"It's a pity that my uncle died, but don't be too sad about my father." Said the deacon's youngest son.
"I'm sad fart! What does it have to do with me whether that guy dies or not? The deacon said angrily, "I hate that Earl of Hilton, who did not tell you to inherit the title according to the rules, but gave up the territory to the knights below Nofifi!" ”
"But that little tax in the countryside isn't worth much." The youngest son is still inexplicable, and his uncle has always been dismissive of his father.
"Kid, it's different now." The deacon sighed slightly when he heard this, "The plague in the Kingdom of Cord has spread, the church has no good treatment, and the neighboring countries are not immune, once it spreads to us, a third of the people in the city will die, I can't guarantee that I am one of them." ”
"Can't even be a servant of God?" The youngest son couldn't believe it.
"How? None of them can save themselves, let alone anyone else?" "Death has taken care of it," said the deacon, "and Cord is full of bird-beaked doctors, giving the last of his patients' comfort, and my friend has told me that the only way to avoid infection is to stay away from the densely populated cities." ”
