Chapter Eighty-Eight: Solo Kierkegaard

Kill him! Sinner! Executioner! Shameless adulterers, a disgrace to the nobility. The church spire cross shone in the summer sun, and the torturers forced confessions from his sinful back and soul. The young philosopher, dressed in a tattered robe, watched the distant river reflect the favor of the god of spring, and his sad countenance was a little sad, and all the pitiful and hopeless things, the cold wind from the melting glacier, and the angry look on the faces of the people, were no more than the sprouts of desire that had been hidden in his heart for many years. Years later, the innocent maiden has a red cross on her chest, and her daughter is as beautiful as she is.

……

I'm going to prove to her that I love her. I am a sinner, and I am about to step on the execution table of my soul and be tortured and punished for the rest of my life. My crime is cowardice and stupidity. When I was young, I longed for philosophical and religious brilliance, but when I welcomed the baptism of time and light, I found that everything was so empty. Only a momentary passion can make my miserable and vile soul sing an elegy. Only with the eternal flame of power can all that emptiness and illusion be revealed. Only the light will never be extinguished! - Solo Kierkegaard, "Hymn to Light"

In the Franco-Austrian Union, philosophers, unlike bards and religious figures, sought to explore the mysteries of the universe. They are no longer preoccupied with the smallest realities, they do not drink and play music all day long like the bards, nor do they pray all day long to purify their spiritual power like the priests of the Holy Grace Cross Church. They are more concerned with the more abstract things such as concepts, logic, appearances, will, spirit, and soul. Although spiritual forces are both energy and matter, like light, they are still unable to touch the true essence. However, philosophical reflection will also improve their spiritual strength, and even produce a qualitative leap, which is helpful for the improvement of the realm.

Solo Kierkegaard was born in Danmark, a medium-sized city in the western part of the Franco-Austrian Union. Kierkegaard's father was born poor and later became rich by selling various items related to animal husbandry. He became a baron after marrying the widow of a baron's family, who died shortly after the marriage. His father was a missionary of the Holy Grace Cross Church, and although he had no talent for cultivation, he still had resources and channels that ordinary people did not have. Her father, who was a missionary, raped her maid and gave birth to Solo Kierkegaard. Of the seven brothers in the family, he was the youngest and five died young.

His father's confession of his early curse to the gods and his adultery, and the death of his wife and five children before him, shook him to the belief that the gods had deliberately inflicted him on untold pain and loneliness. This gloomy and gloomy state of his had a profound effect on his youngest son, Kierkegaard.

Kierkegaard was born with a congenital physical defect because of his unusual background. He was born hunched and lame, and was sickly, so he considered himself a lonely exception, and as a result, although he was brilliant, he was withdrawn and introverted by nature and behaved in a grotesque manner, so that in his youth he was as dominated by sinful and punished religious sentiments as his father.

He was suffering from depression since he was a child, thinking that he had two original sins and that he would go to hell when he died (although he may not necessarily go to hell, but he could go to hell), so his whole life was pessimistic. Despite this, he learns early in life to keep his worries unnoticed, and to hide his melancholy with a frivolous and dissolute playboy image.

As he grew older, Solo Kierkegaard, who had no intention of cultivating and could not cultivate, pondered his philosophy all day long. It wasn't until he was twenty-five that he began publishing a book at his own expense, called Fear and Trembling. The aristocracy did not buy the publication of this book.

Goldschmidt published an article in a newspaper in Danmark praising "Fear and Trembling", which caused the latter to be extremely dissatisfied. Kierkegaard considered the Hunter to be a publication that caters to low-class tastes, and to be praised by it is tantamount to a great insult to him.

As a result, he openly published articles in the newspaper sharply criticizing and exposing the "Hunter Daily", which triggered an all-out counterattack by the newspaper. For almost a whole year, the Hunter newspaper published a series of articles attacking Kierkegaard, ridiculing and ridiculing him as a person, and even making a big fuss about his physical defects, clothing, possessions, and living habits, accompanied by cartoons. At that time, comics were still quite new in Danmark City, and comics became a joke for the public. This deeply hurt Kierkegaard's self-esteem, and even he became the object of ridicule and ridicule from the urchins on the street.

He had expected to be supported by some people in the pen fight, but the unforgiving reality made him extremely disappointed. Instead of gaining sympathy, he felt that people were gloating over his mockery. Under these circumstances, he was reluctant to associate with people, and his temperament became more withdrawn, and when he went out into the streets every day for his routine walk, his only "faithful friend" was an umbrella that he carried with him.

Twenty-six-year-old Solo Kierkegaard has once again received a life-heavy blow.

His missionary father, who had a relationship with a civilian girl because of alcoholism, was killed outright by her mercenary brother during a missionary relationship. Kierkegaard, who learned of this, was so frightened that he hurriedly ran to the commonerwoman's house and gave her all his assets (including his father's inheritance).

Standing on the top of the church spire, the ordinary man and philosopher and aristocratic baron Solo Kierkegaard, who had nothing to offer, leaped from the top of the church and called it the leap of faith, a bloom of passion that transcended life, a contempt for death and a liberation from the pain of reality.

More dramatically, however, he didn't die. Instead, he was saved by a woman. The woman's name was Regina.

Solo Kierkegaard's eyes opened, and there was still a lingering expression of passion and faith on his face. He saw a woman with pale red cheeks, and he was lying in her arms, the beauty of a sixteen-year-old girl full of holiness. In a trance, he thought he had seen angels (a noun preached by the Holy Grace Cross Church, mostly holy women), and he said, "Angels! Yes, I must have arrived in heaven. ”

Regina put it away, clapped her hands, and said, "I'm not an angel, I'm Regina, a member of the Holy Grace Cross Church. ”

Solo Kierkegaard stood up and looked around, seeing the church of the Holy Grace Cross.

In this way, Solo Kierkegaard, who did not seek death, calmed down. He had a new philosophical insight, and he began to write again. However, he was no longer the nobleman with a large inheritance, and he could not publish it at his own expense. Therefore, everything he writes is just for his own amusement.

And over time, the two also developed into good friends.

However, fate is always so unforgiving. That same year, a Templar of the Church of the Cross of Grace fell in love with Regina.

The lonely and lonely Templar Douglas forcibly kidnapped Regina after his unsuccessful pursuit of her, and then had sex with her in the basement of the Danmark Cross Chapel.

Later, Douglas, whose affair was revealed, was dragged to the execution table. The poor pale girl Regina was pregnant, and she was no longer as holy and beautiful as she once was, and the laws of the Franco-Austrian alliance at that time forbade the children of nobles to be beaten without permission, if Regina dared to let the child of Douglas, a man from the Earl family, die, then her parents and relatives would be punished by the strict laws of the Franco-Austrian alliance at that time. This law is ridiculous, but it is in line with the turbulent social context of the time, when a large number of nobles secretly killed many children in order to escape the large taxes incurred by the birth of children (for each child, the noble family paid x percentage more taxes, which is called one of the costs of aristocratic rights).

Regina was under the watchful eye of Danmark City officials to provide her with good living conditions and prevent her from committing suicide or other acts.

The twenty-six-year-old helpless philosopher Solo Kierkegaard, dressed in a tattered robe, watched the distant river reflect the favor of the god of spring, his sad countenance, the pitiful and hopeless everything, the cold wind from the melting glacier, the angry look on the faces of the people, these were nothing compared to the instant disillusionment of the search for holiness in his heart for many years.

It was at this moment that he felt a deep grief and despair, and the world made him feel so painful. The midday sun could not dispel the gloom in his heart, and the distant sky would not accept a vile soul. However, the light always shines, and he looks at the sky above him, the sun hanging high gradually sets, and the light of the moon shines again. His mind was sublimated at this moment, and his soul was enlightened in a trance. Only the light will never be extinguished!

He had never thought that it was because of his lack of talent that he could not even ignite a single yuan point, however, at this moment, his body was shining with sixty-four yuan points.

Solo Kierkegaard, who instantly achieved a sixth-level battle master, created a miracle, that is, the miracle of directly igniting the Yuan Point with pure spiritual power. A large amount of free Yuan Force surged over like a whirlpool of wind and rain, entering the body of this hunchbacked, lame, thin and obscene man. Solo Kierkegaard, who had never felt true power, burst into tears of emotion as he looked up at the sky.

Time flies. A hundred years have passed, and Solo Kierkegaard has become a ninth-level Star Condensing War Master, and at this time, he has once again fallen into a bottleneck, no matter how hard he tries, he can't let his strength gain an inch as if he didn't ignite a single yuan point.

Later, Solo Kierkegaard founded the Illuminati. At the same time, he began to compose "Hymn to Light".

Two hundred and thirteen years have passed. The 339-year-old ninth-level Star Condensing Master, leader of the Western Illuminati, philosopher, and alternative religion Solo Kierkegaard stood high in the sky, looking up at the sky above him that could never be reached. His back was straight, and his body looked like a mountain.
