Angel on earth

"I don't believe it!" said Mikhail stubbornly. "Your kindness to me and to others is real. Why did you do such a thing? No need to guess anything, Micah told me everything Now, I know you want me to be a vessel for the Father God, you and Priest Grey are here to convince me, tomorrow Gregory will speak up, and everyone will come to persuade me. But it is useless, because if there is no When I meet Mr. Edwards, I will be the first to agree."

Isabella looked at him lovingly: "Mikhail, there is a difference between stupidity and kindness."

"It's the same thing in your eyes most of the time, isn't it?" Mikhail said, "but I don't care what you think, you can take it as a kind of arrogance... I am arrogance. I despise all compromises And stand by! I do what I think is right, whether it's saving him or—I want to save everyone! Why can't I?"

Isabella laughed out loud: "Want to save everyone? Then become Mithra!"

"The current 'Mithra' will only send us all to hell." Mikhail smiled wryly, "I sold my body for a chance to enter the kingdom of heaven, but all my friends are in hell. What's the matter? significance?"

"You can't save us." Isabella thought he was cute and funny, "Did Micah forget to tell you that we have already killed Father God once? We only need him to come, we don't need him to judge!"

"He said it, but you also know that I am a very arrogant person." Mikhail raised his chin, "I have the healthiest, strongest, and young body in the world, maybe I can withstand the burning of the eternal fire Woolen cloth?"

Isabella froze.Mikhail looked at her quietly, and calmly finished the black tea in the cup.

He said, "I preach to save people, not to kill all heathens."

Isabella said softly, "But you've killed too many heretics for us. Can you go back?"

"I admit that I shed innocent blood, but it was war. I said Mass for them, and I prayed to the Father to receive innocent souls into heaven. Isabella, I don't think the Siegfried Commonwealth's war was wrong , their upper classes have become a den of the devil, and nothing can be changed except by violence."

"Are the four kingdoms any better?" Isabella gently reminded him, "Noren, Aerys, Aiden, Velus, and even ourselves. They oppressed their own civilians and kept using what they squeezed out. Blood creates weapons and wars. Mikhail, you are right, the status quo is that nothing can be changed except by violence. The altar is for extreme suppression, and the father god descends to appease the hearts of the people after the war, avoiding provocation and turmoil .”

"But..." Mikhail didn't know how to refute. The education he received in the first 16 years told him that Isabella was right.He is a saint who protects the land and a precious war machine.If there is no Arnold, maybe next year he will lead the Quds Army to conquer and sacrifice everything to God the Father on the altar on the day of victory.But he knew something was wrong—

His thoughts were so confused that "If...Mr. Edwards" slipped out of his full red lips and was heard by Isabella.The priestess laughed again. When she laughed, she was always vicious and sly, like a bad girl who took pleasure in making fun of silly boys, which didn't match her graceful and dignified face.

"Love." Isabella said softly, "Mikhail, I can't say whether it is a good thing, I think it should be good, the Father God told us in the scriptures that we should pursue all kinds of things. . . . But, Mikhail, Edwards is not. At least you should not seek love in them."

Mikhail said seriously: "Arnold is a very good person."

Isabella had complex expressions, with anger, sarcasm, hatred, and sneer tearing her cheeks, but she said in a soft voice, unhurriedly: "How long have you known your Arnold? I know one too. Miha Il, I haven't told you a story since you were six years old, let me tell you one last time tonight."

Mikhail looked at her.For some reason, he felt that Isabella at this time was very similar to Arnold Edwards before she told him the story of Christine two days ago, cruel, nostalgic, and pity for innocent and happy teenagers.

So he nodded and refilled the tea for both of them: "I'm listening, Isabella."

Holding the teacup, Isabella looked at the two paintings on the wall, and her gaze finally passed through the clean and bright glass window, and fixed on the full moon.

"First of all, you have to understand, Mikhail, this is my business alone. Now, I am already a saint. This is different from a fable or a prophecy, and you don't need to do any interpretation. Let me tell you , just to tell you, don’t be caught in the snare of love, at least not Edwards, Mikhail. You are the favorite child of God the Father, you have the love of everyone in the world, why force a vampire, What about an Edwards pity?

"——That was the time of the Second Jihad. You have studied that period of history, you should know that before the start of the Jihad, the land of the Mithra Dynasty was less than one-fifth of what it is today. Adjacent to Chernoborg, the westernmost point is the estuary of the Sun River, and the easternmost point is Yana’s Spring Spring City. However, Noren, Abaddon, Aerys, Aiden, and even the Kingdom of Baal were not satisfied, and they still invaded the territory of the church and killed their parents. Believers of God. Therefore, in the year 1024 of the divine calendar, the saints headed by Sihekiah each went to the front and launched the Restoration War. In that war, wizards and Satan joined each other, and more than half of the twelve saints were killed or injured. People like me and Micah got a chance to be a substitute. After the war, Baal surrendered, Norn bowed his head, East and West Rock split from Abaddon, and Aerys lost Bronzini, Rhine and White The Grand Duchy, where the revival of the Church began.

"In the first year of the war, I was only 11 years old. I escaped from the Kingdom of Baal and joined the Quds Force. I washed clothes, cooked food, and took care of the wounded in the rear. I did a lot of work every day. I only had a little food and sometimes even water. Can't get enough to drink, but we're all happy. Nuns teach me self-defense, a rabbi gives us weekly lessons. I became a deacon when I was 14, because all the other adults in the division died. I went to the front line to serve , my age and my strength are not enough, so Jacob sent me to the medical team to hold a requiem for the dead. It was there that I met Arnold Edwards.

"He is from Norren, and he came from a not-so-rich Viscount family. He betrayed Norren out of faith, joined the Quds Army, and became the head of the medical team. He is... how should I put it, an old-fashioned nobleman, Maybe you don't understand...you are very similar to the previous you, otherwise you wouldn't be treasonous for your faith. He is only 20 years old, but he is very good at medicine, knows a lot of strange knowledge, and will use messy plant sugar to feed us. Some people Call him an 'alchemist', anyway, the boundaries between an alchemist and a doctor are always blurred, and he can refine sugar. The front-line commander of the Abaddon-Noren United Front is Sihekiah, and he throws Aaron and Micah away. Joined the Children's Army. When Micah grew up a little, he sneaked to the medical camp and imitated Edwards to refine alcohol. I always chased him away.

"When I was 15, I told Edwards I loved him. He said, Bale, you're young, I can't promise you. I said it again when I was 16. He still said no, but I could tell he loved him. Me, he doesn't approach any woman but me, he is very polite to them, but he will blush at me and act frizzy and clumsy. Every night, whether the army is stationed in the deep woods or in the wilderness, he will send me A flower, wish me good night."

After many years, speaking of this, a faint blush still appeared on Isabella's cheeks.

"At that time, I left the medical team and became a soldier. He ran to quarrel with Xixi's family and wanted to go with me, but he still refused me. When I was 25 years old, Micah and I were one by one After breaking through Nolen's Unicon defense line, he brought wine and flowers to celebrate me, saying that he loved me. He was 31 years old, and he was considered an old man among ordinary people in that era, but he was serious He told me that girls have to be at least 20 years old to develop well. It is not good to marry and have children too early. How happy we were at that time... We had nothing but wars and knives in our hands. He told me that after the jihad ended we would As soon as I get married, he wants to make me a pair of the most beautiful emerald earrings in the world. Although the emerald does not match my appearance, it is not for matching me, it is a symbol that he is always by my side. I told him that I It is necessary to fight for the position of bishop for him and help him realize his ideals.

"Then, the war was over. Sihekiah and Jacob elected me to be a saint. When I was canonized, Micah and Aaron were still quarreling on the side, and Maria, the pirate queen of Verus, was on the other side of me. .Edwards went to Noren's oath city to testify for the church and the royal family, and finally became the Marquis of Wakefield, guarding the border of Noren, and the Mithra Dynasty is only separated from the Mithra Dynasty by the Amethyst Forest, as long as Noren has a little Against their will, Edwards and the others will become the church's sharp knives and pierce Noren's heart at any time.

"I am very happy for him. I wrote more than ten letters to him. Many of the letters I sent to him in the early days of the construction of the altar were sent to him...but all of them fell into the sea. At that time, we had to face a land that had expanded several times and a hundred wastes. The Kingdom of God is in the works, and I love him, trust him, and think maybe he's as busy as I am, and it's just too hard for us to have him caught between Noren and the church, and he's a normal 45 year old People must be more tired than me.

"The church is very busy, so the priests and deacons below have to go through the documents from all over the place, and deal with them if they can be dealt with. Those passed to us are also divided into levels. The important matters are the first level, and the secondary ones are the second level. , and those pertaining to the saint personally were placed in a wooden box. I was completely unaware that, as I ordered it down, Edwards' letters were delivered directly to me... Six months after the dust had settled on the Second Jihad, I was in A report was found in the wooden box. It was from the Bishop of Wakefield. Three months ago, he held the wedding ceremony for the Marquess of Edwards and Countess Hardy. He considered Wakefield to be an important strategic area of ​​the church. Safety cannot be ignored, so a letter was sent to ask whether the Holy City would conduct a thorough investigation of the Hardy family.

"Micah went to Wakefield when he knew about it, and almost beat him to death, but was punished by the Pope... well, you know, God the Father. Micah was sentenced to whipping and imprisoned for two years by God the Father. But until the same The cardinal sent his obituary, and I never heard a word from him again."

Without waiting for Mikhail to speak, she looked into Mikhail's eyes and said:

"His Christian name is Arnold. He is Arnold Calvin Edwards, the hero who personally saved 10 people in the Second Jihad, the noble First Edwards Marquess, the great Noren and the most advanced Founder of the city's health care system, benevolent social welfare reformer, pious martyr - your Mr. Edwards ancestors.

"However, I also want you to know, Mikhail, that his greatest cruelty was not for me, but for Countess Hardy and their descendants. He had long predicted that the church would reach the stage of the third jihad." Take one step forward and make an oath before God. As long as the church needs it, no matter how dirty the job is, even if it means ruining the reputation and falling into eternal hellfire, every inch of land and every soul of the Edwards family is for us to use. Because he loved me, and the war that lasted 28 years."

The author says:

In the next two chapters, the beating of Misha is officially started, and the beating of society X church beating √ "Arnold" has an appearance.

Warn again about the content of "Arnold", the part of church reform mainly refers to the treatment of torturers in the concentration camp and CCCP, if you are shocked, run away... ORZ
