"The things you asked about are very complicated, and my memory has many defects. I can only... I can only answer based on the parts I can vaguely remember..." Dal Finch picked up a cup of hot tea at hand and gently Take a sip. tune
"Where should I start?" He looked at the sky - looking up at the darkness with no end. After a moment, he said: "Let's start with the Holy Return...
"In 1506, a 'miracle' occurred at Canteret Cathedral, which was being rebuilt -
“On the diamond-shaped frame that had just been erected by the workers, the bronze Joshua came to life and announced Keen’s return to the world.
"'All the gods have sailed away, but our Lord has mercy on the world and chooses to return to the world to continue to look after his flock.' This is how Joshua expressed it at the time."
"Since then, mysterious events that had gradually faded suddenly began to appear one after another, and the world seemed to have turned around and returned to the age of mythology. It was also because of the return of the Holy Father that the theocracy of the Salvation Cult rose to the sky. Human society seemed to have stagnated in the age of ignorance, and the clock hand The dawn has passed long ago, but there is no news at dawn..."
Dal Finch looked ahead and remained silent for a long time, seeming to still allow himself to accept this reality: "In short, at that time, the times had undergone drastic changes due to the return of the Holy Spirit. Colleagues of the Candlelight Reading Club and the Spirit Craftsman Society were originally committed to restricting the church It has expanded to unimaginable power. But after the Holy Return happened, all this became in vain——
"They have 'divine power' and a group of more fanatical believers."
"The church that has been corrupted to the bone is like a giant that suddenly drank the resurrection potion and stood up again. The salvationist faith will obviously enter another heyday.
"All this has made my colleagues feel desperate and angry. Before that, the Spiritual Craftsmen Association and the Reading Club joined forces and were planning to quietly brew a storm. We want to awaken the people and open up their wisdom in the name of humanity, so that people no longer have to endure the church's oppression……
"The knowledge treasured in the Dawn Library is prepared for this. Unfortunately, we have been unable to advance the ideological movement that may be called 'Enlightenment' - because of the sudden occurrence of the Holy Return, the church has possessed divine power , began to arrest and persecute those who opposed...
"The laying of the foundation for enlightenment was interrupted, and we could only wait for the opportunity. Fortunately, my labyrinth island was completed at that time. In order to leave the spark of enlightenment, with the consent of my colleagues, I built a labyrinth island on the labyrinth island. A library imitating the architectural style of ancient Golis was built and important ideological assets were collected in it.
"Shortly after that, the church's purges and revenge came quickly. Thanks to my reputation for continuing to create for the church, I was not suspected, but many of my colleagues were arrested, sentenced, and some even died for it... …
"In 1517, something even more terrifying happened. Due to betrayal by insiders, all the core members of the Spiritual Craftsmen Society were arrested. They were forced to sign a document with divine blessings in the religious court that renounced disobedience to the church. Because they were fancy With the technological assets mastered by Daedalus, this organization that has been passed down for thousands of years was reorganized and tamed into the so-called 'Daedalus' that serves the church...
"Not only that, because of that despicable informer, the church also began to doubt me. They even knew about the Enlightenment Project and the Dawn Library that was moved to Labyrinth Island..."
1517? Sean frowned. Dal Vinci's fake death occurred in 1520, which was also the time of the invasion of Labyrinth Island. It actually waited three years before taking action. As the "predecessor of the Holy Court", the church was really able to keep its composure.
When Sean was thinking like this, Dal Finch said the reason behind it: "Originally, according to their behavior at the time, they should have summoned me directly. However, something happened in 1517, and that was That incident delayed the targeting of me..."
Sean blinked and suddenly remembered a person and a word.
"Martin Luther, Essays on Faith?"
The old man nodded: "Yes, it was because of the "Theses of Faith" written by Martin Luther that the church, which had become so arrogant due to the Holy Return, had to restrain itself and carry out what was later called internal reform..."
"A Theory of Faith?" Obviously knowing nothing about this past event, Olivia blinked and asked.
“Before the Holy Return, the church had already fallen into a state of madness: they constantly emphasized that they were the only channel to communicate with God, and threatened people with hells to spend large amounts of money to buy indulgences, and there were endless incidents of oppressing believers. ...tune
"Although there are miracles, the debt owed will not be written off just because God speaks. As a priest at that time, Martin Luther wrote the famous article "Theses of Faith" out of conscience , which denounced the ugly behavior of his colleagues in monopolizing faith and promoting indulgences, and proposed that anyone can communicate with God directly without going through the church. Due to the long-standing grievances of the people, this article was translated into The spread of multiple languages in Europe caused an uproar for a while...
"This is how a discussion about faith began, and even the light of the miracle of the Holy Return was somewhat obscured. In the end, even the gods denounced the corruption of the church and issued an edict calling for reform...
"As a result, my investigation and trial were postponed. However, they will definitely not forget the existence of the Dawn Library. That is, in the year of my death, they finally took action..."
After listening to Dal Finch's description, Sean couldn't calm down for a long time. The Holy Return incident in 1506 was just a description in history books before. Listening to the accounts of those who witnessed it, everything became as vivid as breathing...
Then, Sean reminded him as if to comfort him: "However, Mr. Finch, 'enlightenment' did happen later - reason and science came to the world, and we entered a new era."
Beginning with Martin Luther's "Theses", the church had no choice but to start reforming. By the 18th century, giants calling for humanities and rationality emerged, and mankind finally held up the modern torch...
"Yeah, maybe." Dal Vinci had a tolerant smile on his face. "But, why can I still sense the existence of that thing?" Tiao
He pointed to the nothingness above him. Obviously, his point goes beyond the nothingness and points to the existence above the sky.
"Is the one who has returned really a god? Is it not something else?
"Is what you experienced really 'enlightenment'? Is it just some kind of 'sweetness' given by him?"
"The enlightenment I thought would cleanse away all names other than rationality. Even if the gods speak, people will never look back.
"Although I am very happy to meet Ollie again. However, the fact that I can meet her again means that the real 'enlightenment' has not happened.
"People still must not be 'superstitious' about those extraordinary divine powers.
"Man is still the Lamb of God."
Dal Finch's words made Sean feel a little dizzy.
It turns out that what the sages of the reading club meant by enlightenment was this - they wanted to reshape the world.
To put it simply, they want a world without "Kean", a world where "divine power" is no longer rampant, a world where humans are no longer lambs...
Obviously, by this standard, true enlightenment has indeed not occurred.
Now it seems more like the returned "Keane" made some concessions in the name of "humanity" and then continued to rule this brightly lit era.
"Of course, I'm just an old man who hides away from the world and paints quietly..." Dal Vinci shrugged, "What is it like and how to do it? After all, it's up to you young people to find the answer."
