NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 838: “FollowerVIII”
Chapter 838 "FollowerVIII"
Along the Mediterranean Sea are very good diving resorts. It is different from the colorful Great Barrier Reef. Because of overfishing, it is difficult for big fish to survive. In addition, it has been a trading center since ancient times and there are many sunken ships under the sea.
As a tourism project, many travel magazines will take photos for publicity, and there is a copy on the secretary-general’s desk.
In the blue, cold water, there is a silver-white "mermaid" swimming freely.
It is not a real mermaid, but a girl in a one-piece swimsuit. The clear water has high visibility, and there are abundant underwater creatures and shipwrecks on the bottom of the sea.
"I have visited so many Catholic churches, which one is your favorite, tourist?" the Secretary-General asked, quietly hiding the magazine under piles of documents.
"I haven't visited much." Snape said with a smile, "I am an unwelcome guest."
"How many days have you been in Italy? Haven't you been to Rome?"
"I have always stayed in Venice. This is an interesting city."
"I think you'd better not go to Rome in the near future." said the secretary-general.
"What do you mean?" Snape asked.
"Have you heard of Nero?"
"Of course not." Snape sarcastically said, "I am a wizard who can only curse people with curses."
The Secretary-General endured forbearance, and grudgingly said with a smile, "In 1099, when the Crusaders captured Jerusalem on July 15th, on July 17th of that year, many people claimed to have seen a soaring fire enveloped in the sky. The whole of Rome is like the fire that Nero set to expand the palace on July 17, 64 AD. The Pontifical Urban II at that time was critically ill, as it is now, so for Save us a little trouble for each other. Can you stop running around?"
Snape curled his lips and smiled maliciously.
"Nero's ghost?"
"We are a peace-loving religion, and the darkness and tragedies caused by war are only liked by bloodthirsty tyrants like Nero..."
"Do you want to attribute the Crusades to superstition?" Gianluca said with a gaping mouth.
"Every city has a guardian spirit, just like Venice has the lion of San Marco, there are also many ghosts hovering in Rome, not every one is holy." said the secretary-general.
"Where was he suppressed?" Snape asked.
The secretary-general was silent for a while, and then said "Church of Our Lady of the People."
"You told him that?" Gianluca asked even more incredible.
"There is nothing to hide. There are many reporters and writers who like to inquire about the news. If he wants to check it, it is easy to find." The Secretary-General sneered with disdain. "Such content can attract attention."
"I don't think you really launched the crusade because of Nero's influence to satisfy his bloodthirsty desire." Snape said, "Communication requires sincerity."
"Since you are so knowledgeable, do you know who the Paladin of Poznan is?" the secretary-general said tit-for-tatly. "He once said a word in the Polish parliament:'I would rather freedom of turmoil than peace under enslavement.' A democratic government or a public government is most prone to civil wars and civil strife, because it often changes dynasties. The Holy Roman Empire is not a true empire. There are also the illegitimate and second sons of those lords who prefer military service rather than Honestly, being a peasant, if you don't let them rob the East, they will block the way and rob."
"The Crusades are still the same as the scholars said, in order to pass on the domestic contradictions." Gianluca said blankly.
"The main purpose is to regain Jerusalem. At that time, the pontiff’s relationship with the German emperor was not harmonious." The Secretary-General said, "It was Paladin of Poznan who was called the father of Poland, the Duke of Lorraine. Do you think he is right, young man?"
"Jean Jacques Rousseau." Snape thought for a while and said, "Social Contract Theory."
"Volume 3, Chapter 4, Democracy." The Secretary-General went on to say, "It is not in accordance with the laws of nature to allow the majority to rule and the minority to be ruled. A sheep is ruled by them."
"I think you made a mistake, ten sheep are managed by nine people." Snape corrected.
"Can you imagine what it's like to let all the people lay down their work at every turn and have a meeting in parliament to solve a problem? True democracy is impossible." The secretary-general ignored the wizard and continued, "In democracy All citizens in the system are slaves of public opinion. When we master public opinion and public trust, secular kings must also respond to the call of heaven."
"But now you are gone." Snape smiled sinisterly. "Rousseau thinks that the kingdom of the gods can achieve democracy. Do you think he is right, Father?"
"Demon worship should be made illegal. Do you know how terrible they have done?" The secretary-general waved with the information about Zodiac. "That is a kind of dark belief. People who worship the devil believe that the devil can give them strength. It’s no longer enough for animal sacrifices. There was a tragedy in Mexico. 12 sacrifices, one was hanged, he was lucky, one was tortured to death, and the remaining ten were boiled to death."
"That will cause the second round of prey movement." Gianluca said.
"So are you going to ignore it?"
"Are you going to ignore Zodiac's call for help?" Snape said.
"If the host dies, will the devil possessing him disappear?" Gianluca said coldly, "I think Zodiac should be an old man."
"He still suffers from sweating." Snape said, "Weak people will be easily possessed, right?"
"Cannot be generalized." The Secretary-General said tiredly, "There are also healthy people who are obsessed with it."
"Robespierre took Jean Jacques Rousseau's thoughts as the bible. The courts during the reign of terror were like religious courts. Those who disagree with Rousseau's views will be guillotined by him." Snape said, "You think Is he crazy or possessed."
"What did he write?" Gianluca asked.
"The phenomenon of luxury should be less or not at all, because luxury is the evil result of pursuing money, or it makes the pursuit of money a necessity, even if the rich degenerate and corrupt the spirit of the poor, the country will be sluggish and pursue vanity. The citizens of the country Some have become slaves to others, and all citizens are slaves of public opinion." Snape said slowly as if holding a book, "Social hierarchy and wealth distribution should be very equal, otherwise the equality of power and authority will not be long."
"Do you think Rousseau is right?" the secretary general asked the young college student.
"No one can be above the law and the will of the Republic." Gianluca said, "not even the governor."
"It is not easy to apply for the bishop of the diocese of Venice, even though the Republic of Venice has disappeared, and she has fallen from many angles." The secretary-general said, "I am not that stupid. I am greedy for money."
"He predicted that the island country of Corsica will shock the whole of Europe sooner or later," Snape said.
"It's not Corsica, it's Napoleon, and the lion sleeping in the East that frightened Napoleon of Corsica." The Secretary-General said, "I remember that Venice was the first to end the witch hunt."
"Take advantage of the Hundred Years War between France and Germany." Gianluca said, "In July 1521, all wizard trials ended."
"I think that is a day you are proud of. Is that a sign of the progress of European civilization?" The Secretary-General sneered and said, "The Nobel Prize was awarded in Stockholm. Can you tell me? The standards of the Nobel Peace Prize? What is it?"
"I think what he wants to ask is, why..."
"What I want to ask is what do you know about Sweden besides the Nobel Prize?" The Secretary-General interrupted Snape. "After all, the party tonight is hosted by the Marquise of Sweden."
