Chapter 60: Book Burning and Growth!

Red's eyes stared at the books.

"Of these books, 7,352 of them attempted to prove in various ways that the Lord is not omnipotent, and 5,220 of them compared the Creator of the Universe, the only bright and true God of the universe, to the higher beings of the specimens they studied, and to spy on the power of the Lord, and twenty-one more, adhering to the heretical academic ...... of heliocentrism."

There was an overwhelming roar of rage, and there were constantly radical fanatical believers, shouting to destroy the Glenn Academy of Natural Sciences, and at this moment, the academy actually relied on the knights of the church to maintain order.

I have to say, it's a kind of irony.

How can such a scene not make many scholars angry!

On the high platform, seeing the excitement of many believers, the cardinal sect leader knew that he had shown those guys the deterrent power of the church, so it was time to end this farce.

"There are still people who believe in heretical scholarship hundreds of years ago, that the sun is the center of the universe, that the star curtain world is a huge spherical celestial body, that there are countless spherical celestial bodies in the universe that resemble the star curtain world?"

The Cardinal Grand Sect Master let out a chuckle.

"Ignorance and stupidity! Pathetic and ridiculous! Hundreds of years of "Bright Ceremony" indoctrination gifts can't save them from their dead brains? If the Star World is a giant sphere, not a box of original sin, then why haven't we fallen?"

Hahahaha......

Seeing that the red-clothed Great Sect Master actually made a light joke.

The believers, who were originally in high spirits, also laughed, full of ridicule of the arrogance and ignorance of the Glenn Academy of Natural Sciences, and pity and sympathy for the ignorance of the scholars.

"Today, as a faithful servant of the great Creator of Light on earth, I declare that all of these seventeen thousand six hundred and forty-two books involving blasphemy against the true God will be burned!

"Incinerate!"

"Judgment!"

With the chanting and praise of the fanatical believers, the crowd was crowded, and beyond the crowd that Lei Luo could not see, the flames rose into the sky.

The indescribable sadness permeated Lei Luo's heart.

Looking at the happiness, cheerfulness, and excitement of the surrounding crowd, and listening to the cursed words of the farmer uncle next to him, he should have burned those nobles a long time ago and dared to study books that slandered the God of Light, and so on, but his heart was unprecedentedly calm.

"One day, reason will triumph over ignorance, and the truth law of the universe and stars will completely destroy the faith power of the gods!"

Lei Luo took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.

About an hourglass time later.

In the high voice of the Bright Chant, the red-clothed Great Sect Master slowly left under the escort of many Light Knight Guards.

In the sound of satisfaction and prayer, with the spring rain that fell, the light knight guard gradually dispersed, and Lei Luo in the crowd did not witness the red-clothed sect master from beginning to end, just stood silently in place, staring blankly at the raging fire in the distance.

Rustle of falling leaves, snow and rain......

Probably due to the previous miracle, after the clouds in the sky regathered, the rain gradually fell and became heavier, but the rain could not extinguish the flames with the divinity of light.

These books are the crystallization of the wisdom of the predecessors and sages of the academy to explore the mystery of truth, but now the church has been burned and burned!

Not only Lei Luo, but countless scholars stood in place, letting the raindrops fall on their bodies, drenching their academic uniforms, silently watching the fire of light divine power burn in the rain.

"That's ......"

Suddenly!

As there were fewer and fewer people in the rain, Lei Luo looked at the lonely old man blankly through the crowd of people who had dispersed in a hurry to take shelter from the rain, through the dripping rain.

"Gubo Mentor !!"

Relo rushed over desperately, took out the blanket from the space box, and draped it over Gu Bo, but it was quickly wet by the rain again.

Gu Bo didn't notice this in the slightest, just looked at the burning books in a daze, his eyes bloodshot, and sobbed helplessly like a child.

Gubo took off his glasses and let the rain fall on top of his head, mixed with tears of sorrow, slowly flowing down the wrinkles of time and splashing in the rain blackened by the ashes of the books beneath his feet.

"These books are the essence of wisdom left behind by our ancestors in the process of exploring the truth, and they are the knowledge that we have ...... to complete!"

Lei Luo had never seen his mentor so sad, as if he had lost the most important thing in his life, and he was crying hysterically.

Feeling the same way, Lei Luo also began to cry together.

Gu Bo looked at Lei Luo in the rain, grabbed Lei Luo's shoulder, and sobbed: "It only takes half an hourglass to burn these books, but writing these books is a ...... that the sages have explored and accumulated through generations."

Relo looked at the blazing flames.

There was still a team of Knights of Light watching the burning ritual to prevent any scholars from trying to rescue the books, and with the flame of divinity, even in the rain, there was no retreat.

"Mentor!"

Lei Luo wiped his tears and shouted from the bottom of his heart.

"Reason will eventually triumph over ignorance! I believe that we will be able to create a future full of hope! In that era, the fruits of our hard work will no longer be wantonly trampled on, and all scholars who adhere to the science of truth will be able to live with the dignity they deserve!"

In the distance, Shadhara came running.

"Mentor, junior brother, senior mother and junior sister have already gone back, you should go back quickly!"

Shadara's voice was hoarse and he could barely speak, and he hurriedly took out an umbrella in the space box and hit it on the top of Gubo and Lei Luo's heads, allowing himself to get wet in the rain.

"Mentor, let's go back!"

Supporting the trembling Gu Bo, in the wind and rain, the three of them slowly left.

......

Such book-burning events in the church have been carried out more than a dozen times in major colleges since the dedication of pioneer Whitevens for the truth.

In particular, the Utolan Academy of Natural Sciences, where Bai Nivens is located, has experienced several catastrophes!

Countless academic books on the study of the truth and laws of the universe and the starry sky have been burned by the church, and all kinds of optical research instruments and production methods have been completely lost.

Other natural sciences and private laboratories were also forced to give up continuing to study the truth laws of the universe and stars because of the lack of necessary optical instruments and pressure from the church.

The next few days.

The Church Knights, who had taken over the security of the Academy, left the Glenn Academy of Natural Sciences in batches, and the Academy gradually regained its former freedom.

A large number of mercenaries began to come to buy, and also sold their own harvest, and many shops gradually came back to life.

The scholars are recovering from their grief, the college is functioning normally, and everything is back on track.
