Chapter 173 The Holy Birth
After the situation in Verona was resolved, Eugen moved away from Verona and came to the front area of the defense line to command to ensure the stability and peace of the entire defense line.
At this time, he also received the news that Dimit returns safely, and he is naturally very happy. It is definitely a pity to be able to come out safely from that place. Moreover, with Dimit's help, the Po River defense line will inevitably be more stable.
Affected by the disease, Dimit's intelligence system was also hit hard, and now even he cannot collect information south of the defense line.
However, with his ability, it is still no problem to establish a reliable intelligence system within the defense line. With this intelligence system, the transmission of messages between various parts of the defense line will be accelerated, which is very beneficial to their work.
At the same time, Eugen also heard the deeds of the Minister of Defense from Dimit. Although Eugen had a little disgusted with the Minister of Defense before, he still sighed after hearing the Minister of Defense's heroic death.
After all, the defense minister had not defended for two months, so he fell into the entire territory of Italy. However, he finally did a good thing when he was dying and invited Eugen out.
Otherwise, I don't know how things will happen.
In addition, Dimit mentioned some other things briefly, and Eugen did not ask much. Since these things have passed, there is no need to pursue them. The most important thing now is that only by overcoming the current difficulties can we be qualified to talk about other things.
It was during this period that Eugen met an unexpected but reasonable acquaintance - Father Martin Luther.
When Cosenza parted, Eugen was a prisoner, while Father Luther was a glamorous priest, because his name even reached the Pope's ears in the Book of Redemption.
But when the Pohe defense line met, the situation turned completely the opposite. Eugen returned to the commander position and took charge of thousands of soldiers. However, Father Luther was in a poor state, dressed in a ragged manner, and looked like a beggar.
No, it is even worse than a beggar, because he is a little confused, and it is also because of the Book of Redemption.
The irony in this is also a pity.
When he first met Father Luther, Eugen thought he was a confused refugee who wanted to get some benefits from him, so he pretended to deceive him.
It was not until he finally confirmed his identity that Eugen said in surprise: "Father Luther, how did you become like this? What did you go through during this period?"
But Father Luther looked at Eugen with a dull look. After leaving Florence, he had been on the road. During this period, he also encountered a group of robbers. Fortunately, the robbers saw that he was a miserable poor madman, so they did not make things difficult for him anymore.
But those shameful robbers actually tore off the manuscript of "The Book of Redemption" written by Father Luther, and threw the paper text into the cold wind of winter, and used it to make fun.
Poor Luther cried, chasing the scattered paper industry in the north wind, and trying to piece them together was futile.
In the end, this incident completely destroyed the mind of Father Luther. As a result of his hard work over the past few months, the source of his confusion and the crystallization of his hard work were torn to pieces, which almost made him lose the motivation to survive.
Finally, Priest Luther, with his instinctive power, dragged his almost destroyed body to the Po River defense line and met Eugen here.
Looking at Eugen, who showed concern in front of him, Father Luther's eyes were dull, his mouth moved slightly, and he murmured: "Earl Eugen, please tell me, is it...is there... there is no God, is it... indulgences are completely a mistake."
Because of his vague consciousness, Father Luther's expression was also very chaotic. Eugen deprived him of his great spirit before he understood the meaning of Father Luther.
After hearing this question clearly, Eugen fell into silence. He suddenly felt a strong sense of guilt. He had guessed that it must be what he asked Father Luther to do, which made him like this.
The truth is indeed precious, but it is often cruel. It is a terrible torture for him to let Father Luther touch the truth before he is ready.
Eugen also knew that his answer to this question was very important, and perhaps this was the last chance to save Father Luther.
Whether to give up the truth and save Father Luther, or to insist on the truth and keep him going crazy is also an extremely difficult proposition for Eugen.
After pondering for a long time, Eugen finally looked straight into the eyes of Father Luther and spoke, "There is no doubt that Father Luther, indulgence is the biggest mistake in the world. The thing called 'Atonement' is itself the greatest sin!"
Eugen told the truth in an unwavering voice. After Father Luther heard this answer, his expression in his eyes immediately declined, just like Mars in the cold wind, about to be extinguished.
As a person who has dedicated his life to religion and God, he really cannot accept this cruel fact, he cannot accept this world without God.
At this last moment, Eugen suddenly said loudly: "But! Although the indulgences are wrong, they do not mean that there is no God in the world. In fact, Father Luther, you can live out of those disasters. This is the best proof of God's existence! If you have to ask where God is, it is in the hearts of each of us, not among those indulgences!"
These words were like thunder blew in the mind of Father Luther, and instantly lit up the dark eyes of Father Luther.
All the problems he had been struggling with for months were all resolved at this moment! Indeed, indulgences only came from the hands of the pope, not from God. Why do you say that indulgences are a symbol of God?
Indulgences are wrong, but it does not mean that God is wrong, but as long as God exists, everything will have meaning.
These thoughts flashed quickly in the mind of Priest Luther, especially Eugen's last sentence - God in everyone's heart was like an awl that penetrated deeply into Priest Luther's mind, giving him a feeling of enlightenment.
Recalling my experiences over the past few days, I have been exposed to diseases countless times, but I have not been infected; I have always endured hunger and cold, but I have not fallen down; I have met a robber, but I have not been killed.
All of this, connected together, becomes the best proof of God's existence!
When the clouds cleared and the sun was seen, something came out of his heart like a clear spring. At this moment, Father Luther finally became enlightened.
