Crusade against the Pope

Chapter 20 The situation is reversed
Just as Jesus, the Heavenly Brother, proclaimed his mission in the church of Nazareth, so too did Gairis proclaim his mission in the countryside of the land of Jerusalem.

Gellis's stated mission was not to preach the gospel or the coming of heaven; he said he was put on earth to start wars.

And this declaration of war mission cannot be questioned.

The young man who had dared to fight against Garys with force had turned into a corpse, and the other villagers who had refused to lay down their weapons were kicked down in two breaths.

In Cardoso's opinion, this was such a bizarre scene!
In his eyes, for more than ten minutes, Gailis was just a virtuous monk. He might know a lot of knowledge, but he was still at the level of a mortal.

But when Gellis was accused of being a wizard and colluding with the devil, the man took off his shirt and showed the people around him the hideous scar on his chest. This was the suffering he had suffered and also the proof of God's favor to him.

Either Garys survived the disaster, or Garys was resurrected after his death.

Cardoso was originally more willing to believe the former than the latter, believing that Gellis was not really dead, but just survived by chance. After all, resurrection after death is too special in the Christian faith and has an irreplaceable special status. He subconsciously wanted to avoid it and was unwilling to admit the reality.

But when Garys showed his amazing physical fitness, he was able to move at almost teleportation speed and kick seven people down in one breath.

Cardoso couldn't help but feel a little scared. This was a miracle that was actually happening.

Compared with the five fish and two loaves or the healing of diseases performed by the Messiah Jesus, this miracle is more in line with what is said in the Bible: I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.

For a moment, Cardoso seemed to see thousands of troops, bloody storms, and the subversion of the order of the earth in this man with his upper body naked.

Even Cardoso, who heard the story distortedly, had some rather blasphemous thoughts: If Jesus Christ had possessed miracles like Gairis, then perhaps it was not Jesus who was crucified, but the Roman emperor who was crucified.

Or maybe it was because of the previous experience of Jesus Christ, so this time the Son of God chosen by God was particularly capable of fighting...

A lot of complicated thoughts were scattered in this short time. When Cardoso calmed down again, the situation had been completely settled by Garys.

Just like Cardoso, the villagers who faced the power of Garys only had expressions of "Aba, Aba" on their faces.

The difference between them and Cardoso is that they don't have such a deep cultural background and don't think so much. But the difference in strength between them can still be distinguished.

Regardless of what Garys's act of calling Jesus "brother" actually meant, in short, the twenty or thirty people present were estimated to be no match for Garys with his bare hands, so the right thing to do was to surrender quickly.

The other party has a bigger fist, so whatever he says is right!

As Gillis subdued the crowd, he noticed a sneaky figure trying to escape at the edge of the crowd.

And that person was none other than the herbalist Thomas. It seemed that he had been watching for a long time, and now that he saw the situation was not good, he wanted to escape.

However, Thomas had only taken a few steps when he felt someone in front of him. When he tried to avoid someone, he lost his balance and stumbled twice, falling to the ground.

"Now, do you still think I'm a wizard?" Garys asked casually. Thomas, realizing that Garys suddenly appeared in front of him and blocked his way, hurriedly crawled on the ground, not as young and energetic as the son of the village chief.

"I am a liar! I am the wizard! My lord... please be magnanimous and spare me! I will give you whatever you want, whether it is a house or a cow... my wife and children, you can take whatever you want!"

An old man in his sixties was crawling on the ground like a slug, begging for mercy. He had no principles at all and would sell everything just to survive.

Garys was a little disgusted, but for some reasons, he did not kill Old Deng directly, but ordered Simon to control him.

If he wants to completely control the village, Garys needs some witnesses, a key that can reveal the reality of the past and rescue the villagers from the carefully woven lies.

"Let me ask you, are you in collusion with the village chief? Why did you come to see me today?"

With a little intimidation from Garys, frightened old Thomas confessed everything.

Just as Gellis thought, old Thomas was not a person who had received real education in herbal knowledge, and he had no knowledge of either Greek medicine or Arabic medicine.

All his knowledge about herbs came from some folk remedies, plus some herbal processing techniques he learned from another liar, and all kinds of mysterious rhetoric, and he packaged himself as a renowned master of herbal medicine.

Of course, no matter how it is packaged, people will still be killed. Even if old Thomas has his own set of rhetoric to shirk responsibility, accidents will eventually happen.

Therefore, he reached an agreement with the most powerful village chief. Every year Thomas would pay a lot of tribute in exchange for the village chief's support and armed protection at critical moments.

The appearance of Garys and his group affected the business of Thomas and the village chief.

If Gillis is a fraud, has no real skills, and can’t cure diseases, it doesn’t really matter.

But Garys only took one night to cure Thomas's cold, which he was helpless against. This was a big problem!

After all, the efficacy of the treatment is proven. If Thomas cannot cure the disease, then he cannot cure the disease. If Garys has real skills, then he has real skills.

What if Garys comes out to fight for the right to speak in this village, what if Garys reveals Thomas' true face, what if everyone finds out that Thomas can't actually cure the disease...

So many what-ifs... all mean that in the eyes of old man Thomas, Garys is a dangerous man who needs to be eliminated quickly and immediately.

So, after hearing the news that Jason's mother's fever had subsided, old Thomas, with his keen sense of danger, immediately found the village chief, and after being severely slaughtered, he ended up in the scene just now.

Moreover, before the riot, old Thomas taught the village chief's son a lot of rhetoric, using feudal superstition to deprive Garys of the opportunity to speak.

But who would have thought that Gellis's way of breaking the deadlock would be so brutal.
