The Modern Age of the Mysterious

"The matter you asked is very complicated, and my memory is very incomplete. I can only... I can only answer based on the part I can vaguely remember..." Dale Vinci picked up a cup of hot tea in his hand and drank it lightly Take a sip. tone

"Where should I start?" He looked up at the sky—looking up at the endless darkness. After a while, he said: "Let's start with the Holy Return...

"In 1506, a 'miracle' took place at Canterray Cathedral, which was undergoing reconstruction—

"Atop a rhombus that had just been erected by the workers, the bronze Joshua came to life, announcing Kean'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 and continue to look after his flock.' Joshua expressed it at the time."

"Since then, mysterious events that had gradually faded away suddenly began to emerge one after another. 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 salvation rose to the sky. Human society seemed to have stagnated in the age of ignorance. The hour hand The dawn has passed, but there is no news of the dawn..."

Dale Finch looked ahead and remained silent for a long time, as if he was still letting himself accept this reality: "In short, at that time, the times had undergone drastic changes due to the Holy Return. The Candlelight Reading Club and the Spiritual Crafts Club were originally dedicated to restricting the church. Has swelled to unimaginable power. But after the Holy Return, it was all in vain—

"They have 'divine power' and a group of more fanatical believers. The tune

"The church, which has been corrupted to the marrow, stood up again like a giant who suddenly drank the potion of resurrection. The faith of salvation will obviously enter another heyday.

"All this has made my colleagues feel desperate and angry. Before that, the Spiritualist Association and the Reading Club have joined forces and are planning to quietly brew a storm. We want to wake up the people in the name of humanity, open up their wisdom, so that people no longer have to endure the church oppression…

"The knowledge treasured in the Dawn Library is prepared for this. Unfortunately, we have been unable to proceed with the ideological movement that may be called the 'Enlightenment'—because of the sudden occurrence of the Holy Return, the Church has divine power, Start arresting and persecuting those who oppose...

"The foundation of enlightenment was interrupted, we can only wait for the time. Fortunately, my labyrinth island was completed at that time. In order to leave the fire of enlightenment, with the consent of my colleagues, I was in the labyrinth island A library imitating the architectural style of the ancient Goliath was built, and those important intellectual assets were collected in it.

"Shortly after that, the purge and revenge of the church came quickly. Thanks to the reputation of continuing to create for the church, I was not suspected, but many colleagues were arrested, sentenced, and some even died for it...

"In 1517, something even more terrifying happened. Due to the betrayal of insiders, the core members of the Spiritual Craftsmanship were all arrested, and they were forced to sign a document with divine power to renounce their disobedience to the church in the religious court. With the technical assets mastered by Daedalus, this organization that has been passed down for thousands of years has been reorganized and tamed into the so-called 'Daedalus' that serves the church...

"Not only that, but because of that despicable informer, the church also began to suspect me. They even knew about the Enlightenment Project and the Dawn Library that was moved to the Labyrinth Island..." the investigator

1517? Sean frowned. Dar Vinci's faked death occurred in 1520, and the invasion of Labyrinth Island was around that time. It took three years to make a move. As the "predecessor of the divine court", the church is really calm.

When Sean was thinking like this, Dalfinch explained the reason behind it: "Originally, according to their behavior at the time, they should have summoned me directly. However, something happened in 1517, and it was That incident delayed the targeting of me..."

Sean blinked, and suddenly remembered a person and a word.

"Martin Luthor, The Outlines of Faith?"

The old man nodded: "Yes, it is because of the "Thesis of Faith" written by Martin Luthor that the church, which was so arrogant because of the Holy Return, had to restrain itself, and carried out the so-called internal reform..."

""Thesis of Faith"?" Apparently ignorant of this past, Olivia asked with blinking eyes.

"Before the Holy Return, the church had been in a state of madness: They kept emphasizing that they were the only channel to communicate with God, and they went to **** to scare people into spending a lot of money to buy indulgences, and there were endless incidents of bullying believers ...tune

"Although there are miracles, the debts owed will not be canceled because the gods speak. As a priest at the time, Martin Luthor wrote the famous article "Thesis of Faith" out of conscience , which denounced his colleagues' monopoly of faith and the ugly practice of selling indulgences, and proposed that anyone can communicate directly with God 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...

"A discussion about faith just started, and even the light of the miracle of the holy return was covered up a little. In the end, even the gods denounced the corruption of the church and issued an edict calling for reform...

"Thus, 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 did it..."

After listening to Dalfinch's description, Sean couldn't calm down for a long time. The Holy Return in 1506 was nothing more than a description in a history book before that. Listening to the stories of those who witnessed it, everything became alive as if breathing...

Then, Sean reminded as if comforting: "However, Mr. Finch, the 'enlightenment' still happened later—reason and science came to the world, and we entered a new era."

Starting from Martin Luthor's "Thesis of Faith", the church was forced to start reforming. In the 18th century, giants who called for humanity and rationality emerged. After all, human beings still held up the modern torch...

"Yeah, maybe." Dalfinch had a tolerant smile on his face. "But why can I still sense the existence of that thing?"

He pointed to nothingness on his finger. Obviously, his pointing went beyond that nothingness, pointing to the existence above the sky.

"Is the returned one really a god? Isn't it something else?

"Is what you experienced really 'enlightenment'? Isn't it just some kind of 'sweetness' given by him?"

"I thought the enlightenment, UU reading www.uukanshu.com will cleanse all the names beyond reason. Even if the gods speak, people will never turn back.

"Although I was very happy to meet Ollie again. However, I was able to meet her again-meaning that the real 'enlightenment' did not happen.

"People still don't have to be 'superstitious' about those supernatural powers.

"Man is still the lamb of God."

Dalfinch's words made Sean feel a little dizzy.

It turns out that the enlightenment mentioned by the sages of the book club means this-they want to reshape the world.

Simply put, they want a world without "Kean", a world where "divine power" is no longer rampant, a world where human beings are no longer lambs...

Obviously, if you look at it by this standard, real enlightenment really didn't happen.

Now it seems that the returning "Kean" made some concessions in the name of "humanities", and then continued to rule this brightly lit era.

"Of course, I'm just an old man who hides from the world and draws quietly..." Dalfinch shrugged, "What is it, what should be done, after all, you young people are still left to find the answer."
