Chapter 12 Do you want to know the truth of history?
On August 12, 1778, the Union of Churches and the Ministry of Religious Beliefs of the Kingdom jointly promulgated the "Decree on the Restriction of the Operation and Preaching Rights of Illegal Church Organizations such as the Prayer Meeting for the Spirits, Dru Yin Religion, etc.", referred to as the Religious Decree, which prohibits the
The seventeen religions that arrived have established churches in the Western Continent to spread their beliefs. Violators will be arrested by the alliance of religious groups and various countries.
On June 5, 1855, a supplementary decree to the Religious Decree was promulgated, extending the scope of restrictions from the seventeen religions mentioned in the decree to all religions in the Western Continent except the seven major Orthodox churches.
Corrections must be completed within one hundred and eighty days. If the time limit is exceeded, coercive measures will be taken.
One hundred and eighty days, that is, six months, ending in January 1856, was the final ultimatum issued by the religious groups to all the false religions in the Western Continent. It may also be regarded as a decree that changed Linge's fate.
The time is still before the blood moon changes brought about by the heavenly eaters and the blood-red feast.
The young man originally thought that his life would continue on the same path and usher in a dull ending. But a green-haired girl holding a lamb told him that the fate of the world has its own destiny. After eating the golden apple,
People will be involved in a destiny that does not belong to them.
And in the final analysis, does anyone in this world truly have their own destiny?
Ringer didn't know, so he kept silent.
"I can feel that you are a true believer, Mr. Ringer. In your soul, you hide the most pious faith in the world. I have only experienced such piety from teachers and leaders, and
They all stood up for their beliefs and fought against an invincible enemy until death."
When it comes to her teacher, Rochelle's expression remains calm. From appearance to personality, this practitioner of the Fertile Earth Sect is like a rock in the mountains. He is so stubborn that he will not waver. Perhaps the only way to do this is to look directly into his deep eyes.
In the deepest part of the world, you can vaguely see a trace of memories and sadness.
"Believers serve gods, perform all their deeds, and seek all wishes. Whatever they receive are blessings from gods. Those who are deceived are blessings from gods. Those who have no owners should believe in their gods. Those who don't know should pray to their gods with sincerity.
Only by feeling grateful for God's kindness and using a true and touching spirituality can we gain everything from Him and seek His understanding. This sage said that this is common sense in the world."
Rochelle said something obscure and difficult to pronounce, and then turned her gaze to Linge, who was always pursed and silent: "The blood moon mutation in Linwell City is undoubtedly a conspiracy led by the sect, and they deliberately indulged it,
Not only did the Celestial Eaters and the Bloody Banquets be successfully annihilated, but it also made governments around the world pay attention to the legitimacy of the "Religious Decree." What those in power wanted was not the purity of faith, but the stability of the social situation. Therefore, the next steps will surely be taken.
They turned a blind eye to the brutal purges that took place, and allowed the religious groups to join forces and persecute the heretics. By then, I don’t know how many churches were forced to close, how many believers were displaced, and even their heads were missing..."
"This is a trial given by God to the human world, Mr. Ringer." Rochelle's voice was low but very powerful: "If you are a true believer and are unwilling to succumb to the persecution of the "Religious Decree" and vow to maintain the purity of your faith,
Then there will inevitably be a joint confrontation with the religious group, which is no choice."
In his opinion, Lin Ge is undoubtedly a true believer. Therefore, it is naturally impossible to accept the harsh restrictions of the "Religious Decree". In this case, he will definitely join forces with the religious group and become an enemy. As he said, there is no
The choice is not something that can be solved by saying "I don't want to be an enemy".
However, what he didn’t know was——
"I have accepted the conditions of the city-parish committee and have closed the church before the "Religious Decree" is enforced." Ringer shook his head and said: "It seems that I have disappointed you, Mr. Rochelle." p>
Hearing these words, a surprised expression appeared on Xing Zhe's face for the first time. He looked down at Linger and found that the latter's expression was so dull, as if he was talking about an insignificant thing, rather than a big deal like closing the church.
, for the first time, he felt that he could not see through the young man in front of him.
"It seems that you are more rational than I thought." After staring for a while, he withdrew his gaze and said: "However, I will not be disappointed because faith is a decision made from the heart, not by some kind of decision.
Being enveloped by external forces is like being swept up in a mighty flood."
Faith is a decision that comes from the heart... Ringer was slightly confused.
At this moment, Rochelle suddenly asked him: "If you were given enough power, would you change your choice, Mr. Ringer?"
This question seems a bit confusing.
Lin Ge came back to his senses and did not answer. Instead, he asked: "How powerful is it? Is it more powerful than the constructed mecha you just mentioned?"
"It's just a special kind of magic." Rochelle's eyes were deep and profound: "It can condense everyone's power into one. If used properly, it may indeed be able to compete with the power of the constructed mecha and become a powerful force against the alliance of religious orders.
A sharp knife."
"I have never heard of such magic."
Ringer replied evasively.
"That surprised me."
"Do you think I should know about this magic?"
"That's how it should be."
"Original?"
"It's nothing, Mr. Ringer." Rochelle shook her head: "Maybe sometimes, not knowing is a good thing."
Ringer felt that his attitude was a bit strange. Why was he so sure that he knew that kind of magic? Or was it not that he should know, but that all the churches affected by the "Religious Decree" were among the insiders?
Unfortunately, the Holy Goddess Church seems to be different from other churches.
The two of them fell into silence. One was staring at the old letters in the glass display cabinet, and the other was thinking about what kind of magic the so-called "special magic" should be. No one took the initiative to speak to break the silence.

Time passed silently like this. After a few minutes, Rochelle seemed to take her mind back from the letter and spoke again, but she mentioned another topic: "What do you think about this Nimschel International Exposition?"
,Mr. Ringer?"
"What do you think?" Ringer thought for a while and said, "It's very grand, very interesting, and the theme is also very grand."
"Is it grand?" Rochelle laughed lowly: "It's not bad."
The history and future of mankind, in a nutshell, is the entire civilization. The theme of "civilization" is indeed much grander than the themes of previous World Expositions.
But.
"If you look back at history, those things buried under the dust are even more grand." The Walker of the Fertile Land Sect slowly raised his head, staring at the spectacular dome and church-style relief murals of the Lubeon Museum, and then asked
A question from Ringer: "Do you know why Nimschel can be called the 'International City', so well known that even another name, 'City of Fountains', cannot compete with it?" p>
When Ringer heard this question, his expression suddenly became strange: Not long ago, he had just told this period of history to his companions, but he didn't expect to tell it a second time now?
He briefly told Rochelle the history of the "War of Solemnity". Seeing the latter's surprised expression, he explained a little more: "I studied history at the university and came to Nimschel.
I have also searched for relevant information before, so I know it."
"That's it."
Rochelle nodded clearly, and the surprise and doubt in his heart disappeared. He said: "Your explanation is already very comprehensive. I have nothing to add, Mr. Ringer. The rest is just us - and everyone in the world is confused.
Question: Why did the Kingdom of Great Brita take the initiative to initiate this war? Why did the Kingdom face two powerful countries at the same time and open two battlefields, but both achieved victory? Why did the two invaded countries only lose one battle?
After the battle, it was decided to sit down at the negotiating table and negotiate peace with the Kingdom of Great Brita? This question is still a historical mystery. If it is not solved, it will only display the part that people know, but it will not represent the history and history of mankind.
The future is not even a truly grand theme."
Ringer did not agree with his statement: "If you can't trace back time, I'm afraid no one can say that you can see all the fog. Grasping the known history is the limit of human exploration of the long river of time. It would be a bit demanding to do so.
Harsh."
"That's true."
Rochelle's tone was meaningful: "If the fog is real and is not the result of human manipulation, then your statement cannot be more correct, Mr. Ringer."
As the words fell, the young man's heart seemed to stop beating for a moment: "What do you mean, Mr. Rochelle? Do you want to say that the fog of history is actually controlled by others, and who deliberately concealed the truth?" p>
"What is more complicated than that is the truth of history... This will probably be a very long story." Rochelle's eyes stared at the dome silently, like an unshakable mountain: "If you are interested, I
I can tell you."
Ringer then turned back and looked in the direction of his companions, and found that they were still visiting various exhibits, discussing something with great interest, and had no intention of leaving for a while.
