Chapter 600 Pagan Laws

It was very hot in the prison, and most of the cells were packed. The stench of evaporated sweat was everywhere. There were so many true believers, but Eden was the only one who was put in a cell alone.

This undoubtedly reflects the importance that local Arlotta attaches to this priest.

Eden sat on a pile of straw. Speaking of which, this was the second time he had been imprisoned.

The first time he was thrown into prison was because of the emperor, and the second time he was thrown into prison was because of the local Alota. It was as if all the rulers in the world were against him.

Eden held the stone pendant on his chest and looked around the crowded cell.

“It’s been two days and I haven’t returned to my original world.

Am I going to stay here forever? "

Eden doubted this, but he felt that the possibility was very low.

He returned to his original world before, and he should be able to do the same this time.

"I want to go back, I have to go back."

Eden took all the true believers into his eyes and made up his mind.

These people, they are so devout, they insist on their faith even in the darkest moments, but they are deceived and fall into prison. Eden, who can look directly at the soul, sees that among these people, there are many souls It is pure and almost free of dirt.

But how will these people be treated?

During the past few days in the cell, Eden heard from the True Believers that the Giant King believers had many terrible ways of dealing with the True Believers.

To put it simply, it is to restrict the gatherings and masses of true believers and force them to convert or convert, otherwise an additional tax will be levied.

There are many more complicated and cruel methods.

Those giant king believers will destroy churches on a large scale and threaten their lives to ask other believers to convert. If people do not convert, they will either be executed on the spot, sold into slavery, or do dirty things.

Eden also heard that they had repeatedly piled the heads of other believers into hills one after another, and ordered people to pour the excrement of cattle, sheep and horses on top to desecrate the beliefs of their enemies.

In the laws of the pagans, it was said that others should not be made slaves. However, in the explanation of the pagan rulers, they quoted another scripture to explain that people who did not believe in the new gods had lost their rights as human beings. , for this reason, enslaving other believers not only does not violate the law, but also honors the faith.

The extremists even claim that they have the right to kill all people, rob all cities, smash all idols, and trample all women. The more cruel they do, the greater the reward they will receive in heaven.

Eden also heard that one-third of the pagan laws were used against people of different faiths.

All kinds of rumors made Eden fearful for the future of this group of true believers. Although they were strangers to each other, meeting those true believers in this pagan city was like meeting brothers who had been separated for many years.

Moreover, as a priest, it is an unshirkable responsibility to do everything possible to save those lay believers.

"We must go back. Only in this way can we save them."

Eden thought to himself.

At this moment, there was a faint sound of footsteps outside the cell.

Eden raised his head and saw that a group of pagan soldiers came over. They opened the cell door without saying a word and roughly lifted the priest from the ground, as if they were taking him somewhere.

When the true believers saw this scene, they all exploded. They issued urgent calls for help, shouted loudly and even insulted and cursed the pagan soldiers, but they were all locked in cells and unable to help Iden.

Eden was led by those pagan soldiers to a room that looked like an interrogation room. At this moment, he saw a familiar face, his eyes almost lit up, and he wanted to pounce on that person and tear him apart.

It was none other than Father Bruce.

Eden was about to pounce, but he was firmly held down by the pagan soldiers and almost dragged to the chair.

"It's you…"

Eden gritted his teeth and said,
"There are so many sins in your soul, it's so filthy!" Father Bruce raised his eyebrows. He just regarded this sentence as an exaggerated provocation.

"It's me,

And I am here to persuade you. "

Eden stared at him and said:

"What do you want to persuade? What can you persuade? You have betrayed the Lord. You deceived His lambs and led them to the butcher's knife. Then you counted the coins in the bag while admiring the blood splattering."

Father Bruce was not angry, he lowered his head slightly, as if in silence, and the pagan soldiers pressed Eden tighter.

After a while, Father Bruce suddenly said,
“Priest, you should be a priest.

With your sympathy and compassion, you stood up at that time and ordered them to break through the siege.

But you did something wrong. You shouldn't have let them break through the encirclement. You thought you had good intentions, but you actually harmed them. "

"You harmed them?! It was you who betrayed them!"

Eden said angrily.

"Yes, I betrayed them, but this was a well-intentioned deception,"

Father Bruce said slowly in the tone of a wise man looking down at a fool:

"In order to live a better life, they should have given up their religion long ago, truly abandoned their religion."

Eden glared at Father Bruce;
"No, they persist in their faith to this day, not to abandon their faith."

Father Bruce suddenly asked:

"Do you know what happened to the seven priests before me?"

Eden shook his head slightly.

"They are all dead and martyred!"

Father Bruce emphasized:

"And they did not die alone. Many people who supported them and listened to their mass died together. Every time they were martyred, a group of true believers were implicated and sacrificed together with them. Because of these priests, countless people died again and again. Bleeding again and again.”

Eden was stunned for a moment, knowing clearly that Bruce was telling the truth.

After a moment, he came to his senses and said coldly:

"It's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous. It's clear that the murderer is someone else, but you want to blame the priests for the crime?"

Father Bruce stared at Eden and persuaded him in a sincere tone:

"If you don't blame the priests, are you going to blame the pagans?
How ridiculous.

This land was conquered by them. How they want to rule here is not their business?

They have their gods, they have their laws, and what guilt do the rulers who make the laws have?

No matter how many true believers there are, they are just their subjects. Since they are under their rule, they must abide by their laws.

This land no longer belongs to the True Religion. If you want the laws of the True Religion, ask the Empire to take charge of this place again!Too bad Deschanel can't do that, right? ! "
