Pancras, the bell ringer of St. Anvil's Cross Church, was a Morya. He was disliked by his own tribe because of his ugly appearance. He was forced to leave the tribe and wander alone. He was also banned because of his identity as a Morya.
The general public hates and does not accept it. A person like this will end up either becoming a sneaky criminal, or he will be ground into the soil as lightly as dust and disappear. No one will notice that he has been there, let alone
No one knows when he died.
But he actually had no choice between the two paths, because although he was born with an ugly appearance, he had a kind and gentle heart. Even when he was the most impoverished, he was unwilling to break through the bottom line of a human being; and after he experienced the ups and downs in the first half of his life,
Later, it seemed that fate was finally favoring him once. On the wandering road, he met an ascetic monk from the Spiritual Prayer Society. The latter sympathized with and pitied his plight, so he gave him some food and a token, and offered him a gift.
Pointed out the direction.
Carrying this token, the helpless Pancras miraculously walked thousands of miles and finally arrived at Lundwithin a hundred years ago. At that time, the "Religious Decree" had not yet been promulgated, and animism was among the people.
It still enjoys a high reputation in my heart. The St. Anville Cross Church stands majestically in the Seven Stars Area. Tens of thousands of believers come all the way every day to pay homage to the saint's great deeds. Some of the most devout believers even
They don't wear socks, don't drive horses, and just walk through mountains and rivers. They regard this masochistic behavior as a real pilgrimage, and the ragged Pancras seems to be considered one of them.
Because he proved his piety and had the ascetic's token, the believers of St. Anville's Cross Church accepted him and made him a bell ringer in the church, responsible for the daily morning service.
, bells are rung during evening services and weekly prayers.
The Morya, who had been wandering for half his life and finally found his home, abandoned his original name and called himself Pancras. He held on to the position of bell ringer for nearly thirty years and never missed a day. So later,
Both the believers in the church and the pilgrims have gradually become accustomed to his existence, but they have also gradually ignored his existence. They regard the bell that rings on time as an ordinary thing in the world, and there is no need to pay special attention to it.
It can never disappear.
“Until 1778, when the Religious Decree was promulgated,” Ringer said to Alice, who was listening attentively, “as the landmark building of the Spiritual Prayer Meeting, St. Anvil’s Cross Church was required to close, and Animism
The believers of the theory refused to implement this unreasonable request, so a fierce conflict broke out between the city guard and the believers, which was the famous '1778 Incident'. This conflict resulted in the death of more than a hundred people and the injury of thousands of people.
When the conflict broke out, Pancras, as a bell ringer, neither participated in the riot nor ran away. Instead, he actively rescued the injured regardless of the danger. Whether they were innocent people involved in the conflict, those with fanatical beliefs and regardless of life and death.
Believers, even those soldiers who participated in the suppression, were properly rescued in his bell tower, and were inspired by him to temporarily give up their conflicts and coexist peacefully. This should be the only thing in the entire incident.
It’s a place where people can feel a little warmth.”
"However, he still couldn't do anything with his own strength. So in the end, when he saw a girl involved in the conflict falling in front of him, and he was helpless, Pancras, the bell ringer, realized
He realized that all the persistence he had made before was meaningless and could not change anything. In despair, he left the church that once gave him a sense of peace and calm after the conflict subsided for a short time, but now there is only bloodshed and sacrifice.
, once again embarked on the wandering road just like many years ago, leaving only a lonely figure for everyone."
"Later, Victor Hugo, the great writer of the White City Republic, wrote his book "The Abbey of the White Mountains" based on this real example. In it, he described the Saint-Anver Cross Church as bright on the surface but full of dirt and evil behind the scenes.
It is an unclean place, and the prayer believers are seemingly pious, but in fact they are greedy villains and hypocrites who seek personal gain for themselves in the name of their faith. The image of the City Guard is rude and cruel, and they indiscriminately caused this tragedy.
The bloody incident... In the whole book, only Quasimodo, the bell ringer, is a positive image. He is praised as the incarnation of goodness and the brilliance of human nature. Master Hugo believes that what he did perfectly conforms to the religious allusions.
The standard of a 'righteous man', and admitted that the bell-ringer Quasimodo was a character created based on Pancras."
As he spoke, Alice slowly opened her mouth: "Ah, this..."
Where should I start complaining first? Is it really okay that the plot of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" has been changed like this? Also, that master Victor Hugo, you are definitely the philosopher of the Witches' Association, right? No wonder in
In the book, it is said that the spirit prayer meeting and animism are bad, and by the way, the AOE is also mentioned as the city guard who is just following orders, but does not mention a certain law that is the culprit. This is smuggled in for personal gain!
Therefore, it is really important to have the right to speak. Cultural victory is also a victory...
"It turns out that he has such an experience." Olvera, who was curled up on the sofa with her knees in her arms, couldn't help showing a fascinated expression: "I have also read Master Hugo's "White Mountain Abbey", but I didn't expect Cassie the Bell Ringer.
The prototype of Modo is actually still alive, and I also met him. As expected, he is a kind and gentle elder just as written in the book. I still remember some sentences in that book, such as: Everything
Civilization begins with theocracy and ends with democracy. Also, people who are not beautiful are born wrong. Beauty only loves beauty..."
"I said stop, stop!" Seeing that she was reciting famous quotes again, Alice's head hurt when she heard it, and she quickly interrupted: "Now I know where he came from. In terms of personal experience, he is indeed legendary. He can be praised by great writers.
It is also a great thing to write it into a book. But even so, there is no need to say that he has a great background, especially when you say this, Neville."
If Neville was a human being and was willing to make her great achievements public, many licking dogs would have stood up to sing her praises as early as the Motosh Empire, let alone write a book "The Monastery of Qi Yu Port".
Writing a book about "Mein Kampf" is nothing...
"Haha, is that really the case?" Neville heard this and a mysterious smile appeared on her face: "You don't seem to have noticed one thing. The story told by Alice Ringer happened about a hundred years ago.
Years ago, when the "Religious Decree" was promulgated, Lord Pancras was already a twilight old man, but now he is still like this, what does this mean? "
"Huh?" Alice scratched her cheek: "Does it mean he lives longer?"
This conclusion cannot be said to be completely wrong, it can only be said to have nothing to do with it.
"Let me give you another hint, Alice." The countess said meaningfully: "The Evangelical Academy is a sanctuary for aliens. Why is it managed by a human? Those aliens who are hunted by humans and have a blood feud with humans
, will you really obey Lord Pancras from the bottom of your heart? If you want to convince them, you must not only show your tolerance and generous character, but most importantly, you must also make these aliens regard you as one of them.
Only a human being can do this, is it possible for a human being to do this?"
With every word she spoke, Alice's eyes opened wider and wider: "Wait, do you mean..."
"That's what it means."
The countess smiled slightly: "Lord Pancras used to be a human being, but he is no longer a human being. He has become an alien, and he is also the most mysterious demon spirit among the aliens."
"He is no longer Pancras the Bell Ringer, maybe you can call him: Pancras the Bell Ringer?"
