Crusade against the Pope

Chapter 82 Blessed are those who remain
Of course, Garys had considered today's result in advance.

"Everyone! Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. Today is Sunday, a time of rest. My Father's holy number is seven. We are all on this day of rest together, and we are all enjoying the grace of My Father. We should be rewarded."

"Every brother should go and receive seven silver coins today, so that everyone will know one thing from now on: there are no permanent slaves in the world! There are no hereditary servants!"

"Let us congratulate each other on our new life. Let us sing the Three Sacred Songs together with me!"

Gellis used his hands to direct the many Franks present and asked them to sing together.

"Holy! Holy! Holy!"

“Lord Almighty, your glory is all over the earth!”

“The cheers resounded through the sky!”

“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”

“The cheers resounded through the sky!”

The Tripitaka, or "Holy, Holy, Holy," comes from the Book of Revelation 6:3 and is the oldest part of the Catholic Mass.

Now, Gailis used this song, which was very familiar to Catholics, to stir up the emotions of all the Christians present. Everyone looked at him with respect and gratitude.

For Gellis, what does it matter if he gives seven silver coins to each of the two hundred people?

According to what he knew, these 200 people were on average three silver coins short of the redemption requirement of three gold dinars.

In other words, after completing their self-redemption, the money these people can actually take away is only 800 silver coins, or 70 gold dinars.

Using these 70 gold dinars, I bought the heartfelt gratitude of more than people, which was much better than leaving them as slaves.

But when the cheers of "Holy! Holy! Holy!" ended, many people looked confused. Many of them realized a fact.

Just as Gailis was about to turn around and leave, a man younger than Gailis asked from behind: "Prophet, are you going to drive us away?"

The prophets, yes, those who had witnessed the miracles performed by Garys, had reached a consensus among themselves after experiencing these two months of unprecedented collective life.

Garys is indeed a prophet. He not only holds God's grace, but also brings unprecedented knowledge and has an immortal lion's heart.

Most of these soldiers were just free men in Reynard's manor, and like the villagers here, they had to pay taxes throughout the year.

It's just that because they are also serving in the military, Leonard's exploitation of them is less.

But this does not mean that they are really grateful to Leonard.

It’s just that in the past they have never seen the light, so they can endure the darkness.

They had never imagined how free people could live after being freed from the oppression of the manor.

Indeed, there is endless soil to dig in Garys, but he pays!
Indeed, they have to pay 3 gold coins to redeem themselves, which will drain all their money, but they are prisoners of war!
Prisoners of war, in this era, could be sold directly as slaves, but Garys still treated them as human beings and gave them a chance to redeem themselves.

What a good deed this is!
What's more, there are not many decent churches in the entire Transjordan Territory. Even for those who live in the manor, they don't have the opportunity to go to church to attend mass every week.

However, in the village of Skar, a "prophet" would come every week to preach and answer their questions, listen to their confessions, and tell them the answers to their lives. In their opinion, Gailis's attainments in theology clearly surpassed all the priests they had known in the past.

Because they had never seen Garys prepare a script or look up the Bible when preaching!

In addition, when working on the construction site, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating are all coordinated by the villagers of Skar Village. Apart from working every day, there is nothing else to worry about. How can there be any worries?
As for the hardship of digging the earth? The peasants in the Middle Ages all suffered hardship every day. They were used to it and numb to it...

But now, in the past two months, they have had no worries about food and drink.

Many people feel uncomfortable at the thought that this collective life is coming to an end.

This kind of simple and pure joy was something they had never experienced before.

Hearing the question from the person behind him, Gailis paused, turned around and said to the people who were about to be freed: "If you want to stay, then stay. The door of the church is open to all those who want to know the truth."

"Holy! Holy! Holy!"

“Lord Almighty, your glory is all over the earth!”

Once again, after hearing Garys' words, quite a number of people subconsciously shouted loudly. Only in this way could they vent the joy in their hearts.

Even the clouds in the sky looked like angels with spread wings, blowing the sacred trumpet to welcome the Heavenly Father.

However, Gaillis immediately said to the child who asked whether he wanted to send people away: "By the way, Charlie, you can't stay. You have to go home."

"what?"

The young man opened his mouth slightly after hearing what Gailis said.

"Why, why?"

"Your parents are still alive, and you are their only child. How can you bear to let your parents miss you every day and suffer?"

"But..." The young man, Charlie, was a little speechless. He just felt that there was a passage in the scriptures that could be used to respond to Garys's statement, but he couldn't explain it clearly or remember it for the time being.

"I know what you are going to say. "Whoever loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me. And whoever loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And whoever does not take up his cross and follow me is not worthy of me."

"Is that so, Prophet? Is there something wrong?" Others nearby were also quite curious.

"Everyone, don't take this sentence literally, and don't misunderstand it."

"My brother Jesus is born of the Father, not created by the Father; he is of the same nature and substance as the Father. After his ascension, he sits at the right hand of the Father. This heaven is not the sky, but the omnipresent kingdom of heaven. Therefore, wherever you walk in the world, you are all like brothers to my brother, without any barrier."

"My brother is like this, and so am I. No matter where you are, as long as you are willing to walk on the right path, you will be with me. You don't need to stay in front of me all the time."

"Your parents in this world raised you, missed you, and cared about you. So when they are still alive, you should look after them and love them, but not blindly follow them. You should hold their hands and walk on the right path together. This is the true meaning of my brother's words."

"Thus, if you are on the right path, you are with me, along with your parents, and all of you are my disciples."
