"By the way, that dirty guy over there is not the same as us, so you can do whatever you want."
Even though he was tied into a knot, there was still no ripple in Gregory's tone.
Gottfried was frightened and shouted: "How could this be possible! Didn't I run away from Lizhania Village with you? How could you just abandon me like this!"
"From being beaten by bandits to being tied up by bandits, you didn't do anything at all, right?"
"Don't, don't, don't be so heartless! Save me too!" Gottfried was about to cry, "I know! I will tell you whatever you want to ask me! That's all! Please don't abandon me!" "
Gregory nodded, and then said to the bandits: "I was joking just now. He is the court jester hired by the eldest lady at a high price. Let's include him."
"The court jester? I don't understand what you rich people do."
The bandits muttered, then took out a thick hemp rope and tied Gottfried together.
The camp of the bandits was set up halfway up the mountain, next to a cave. Probably that cave was originally the hideout of the bandits. As the bandit gang expanded, there were camps outside. In short, this cave is now a place where Ella and his party are imprisoned. Gottfried and Gregory's hands and feet were tied up and stuffed into two large iron cages.
Only Ella is fine. The bandits were not worried about what trouble this helpless girl might cause. Not only did they not tie her up, they also brought her a stool and a chair, and even gave her a candle.
"What on earth do you want to do?" After the bandits left, Ella ran to the iron cage holding Gregory and asked, "Why are you helping me like this? And since you are the one paying, then you should do it now Outside, I should be the one being tied up!"
"This is in return for the few copper coins you gave me."
Gregory replied calmly.
"With the clothes I'm wearing, they won't believe that I'm a rich man, and those bandits won't allow an adult man to walk freely outside. Besides, I don't mind suffering. Suffering can wash away the world. of original sin in order to ascend to heaven on the Day of Judgment.
Hearing the second half of Gregory's words, Ella took a step back subconsciously: "The Doomsday Judgment... Are you a member of the Abrahamic Orthodox Church?"
"The Abrahamic Orthodox Church? Why do you think so? Compared to the Abrahamic Orthodox Church, there should be some older and smarter sects that also believe in the last judgment, right?"
Gregory looked at Gottfried with meaning, "Really, Master?"
Gottfried was trying hard to free himself from the rope. Hearing Gregory's words, his body trembled, then sighed and said: "That's right... I am a member of the Ancient Church of Abraham... What do you want to know?"
"Abraham...ancient church?" Ella read this somewhat unfamiliar name, "Not the Pythagoreans...?"
"Pythagoreans?" Gottfried shook his head and said to Ella, "I remember that you want to learn the magic of the Pythagoreans, right?"
Seeing Ella nodded, Gottfried continued: "First draw a square on the ground with a side length of one."
Gu Yin
Ella didn't know what kind of medicine Gottfried was selling in the gourd, so she picked up a stone and drew it on the ground as Gottfried said.
"Now, you draw another square with twice the area of the previous square. If you can complete it, I will tell you about the Pythagoreans."
"The area is twice? According to the area formula of a square, the area of the current square is one. If the side length is changed to two...the area becomes four times. If it is twice the area, the area should be two. The area is Second, the side length of this square should be...should be...?"
Ella vaguely felt that something was not quite right. She forgot that she was trapped in a bandit's den at the moment and started calculating seriously on the ground.
"Okay, Master Gottfried, let's get down to business." Gregory looked at Gottfried, a hint of hostility flashed in his eyes, "I just want to know, what is said to be spread in the ancient Abrahamic Church? What exactly is the technique to be able to approach the infinite gods?”
"This..." A look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on Gottfried's face. But considering that he owed Gregory a lot of popularity, he could only sigh and said, "Our Abrahamic Ancient Church does have many related documents, such as "The Great Hall", "The Little Hall", and a "Chariot Descent". "Celestial Techniques"... No matter which book it is, it is said that as long as you follow the records in the document, your soul can soar. And after passing through the many tests in the sky, we can reach the presence of God and measure the shape of God."
"Measuring the size of God? Do you, the ancient Abrahamic Church, believe that God is limited?"
"Limited? No, how is that possible? Of course God is infinite!"
Gregory laughed and asked:
"Since God is infinite, how do you measure God's figure? Do you have some special ruler that can measure infinity?"
Gregory's question made Gottfried's face turn red. He scratched his head and thought for a long time, and finally replied with some frustration: "I don't know. I want to study it myself, but I haven't succeeded so far. There may be records in books such as "The Technique of Chariots Raising to the Sky" Yeah, but I don’t know where these three books have ended up.”
Gregory's tone was suddenly full of frivolity: "In other words, your Abrahamic Ancient Church does not actually master the method of measuring gods?"
Gottfried scratched his head: "This... Although the Technique of Chariot Ascension to the Sky has been lost, our ancient Abrahamic Church still retains a practice method called Kabbalah. I heard that some people seem to have passed the practice Kabbalah lifts the soul.”
"Ascension?" Gregory immediately answered, "I want to learn the technique called 'Kabbalah' to let the soul ascend. Can you teach me?"
"Please don't ask me again... You have also seen my level of magic. If I knew, I would still be tied here with a rope!" Gottfried said with a sad face, "Being able to cultivate Kabbalah The level of practice depends on a person's wisdom and understanding ability. And I am just an apprentice who has just started!"
"That's right, it turns out you are just an apprentice who has just started." Gregory repeated meaningfully. Since Gottfried was just an apprentice, that meant there was no point in arguing with him.
However, Gregory could let Gottfried go, but he did not want to let go of the Abrahamic Ancient Church behind Gottfried at all.
From Gottfried's narration, Gregory already knew that Clodis' words were not fabricated - the ancient Abrahamic Church did have a way of measuring gods, and in his opinion, this was completely heresy. .
"Then since you said you are an apprentice, there must be someone who is your teacher? Where can you find your teacher?"
Gregory was determined to thoroughly examine this so-called ancient Abrahamic church, refute their absurd claims, and help them go astray.
And if they still persist in their opinions, Gregory would not mind eradicating this heretical sect completely.
