Vol 2 Chapter 873: Martyred

The falling snowflakes gradually became smaller, and the bitter wind was blowing.
Old John's gaze swept across the dignitaries on the high platform, swept across the onlookers, and finally stopped on the trial bishop who was arguing with him.
He sighed softly and said:
"Order is indeed hierarchical, but the creatures that make up order should be equal in personality."
"Absolute fairness is indeed difficult, but we should not give up the pursuit of justice because of difficulties."
"Fairness means opportunity. Every life has a bright future, and every life has hope."
"There are no nobles, no privileges, and all existences, whether they are transcendents or ordinary people, whether they are long-born or short-born, can respect each other, and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results."
"And this is the true pursuit of our life church."
"Sophistry! Absurd! How can the transcendent be like ordinary people? How can the long-life species coexist with the short-life species? These confusing words are just your excuses for ruining the empire and realizing your ambitions!"
The Bishop of Trial scolded.
"But, what if it can be done?"
Old John asked rhetorically.
"impossible!"
The trial bishop subconsciously denied it.
Old John smiled slightly:
"It seems that you have never been to Fengyue Freelance."
"Maple Moon Liberty Leader? It's just a lie fabricated by the elves, a colony oppressed by the elves, and only those who are ignorant and deceived will flock to it."
The bishop sneered.
Old John shook his head:
"You haven't been there, how do you know everything there?"
After speaking, his expression suddenly became religious:
"Maple Moon Liberty, that is a true heaven on earth, that is the future of the human world!"
"The future? Absurd! That is just an illusion created by the Church of Life to confuse believers!"
The trial bishop retorted.
Old John sighed:
"However, even if it is an illusion, compared with the life church that created this illusion, the eternal church that has always described the illusory future with the beauty after death, what has it done for the people at the bottom in reality?"
The bishop was taken aback for a moment.
He was about to continue to refute, but suddenly he didn't know where to start.
Speaking of which, as a church that is highly tied to the ruling class, a church whose main source of faith relies on professionals, and a church with believers all over the universe, for the vast majority of ordinary believers who have no extraordinary power, the eternal church is indeed I've been away from them for too long, too long...
Intelligent creatures can provide the power of faith, and the level of the power of faith is directly proportional to the strength of the soul. Perhaps the power of faith of a hundred mortals is not comparable to the power of faith of a pious transcendent.
In the millennia of expansion, the interests of the Eternal Church have long been deeply tied to the nobles and professionals.
As the same old John said, they... indeed have not paid attention to ordinary people for a long time.
Perhaps in the era of peace, they can rely on the oppression of the ruling class to maintain the unity of faith, but when the magic recovers and the world is in turmoil, this former way of ruling will inevitably be impacted.
Old John’s rhetorical question made the bishop's words speechless for a while, and seeing the bishop's flaws, old John continued:
"I was also a devout eternal believer. Until I went to Fengyue Freedom, I didn't know what true equality is for the people, and what the true hope is for the people..."
"I saw the insensitive refugees with my own eyes, and found the meaning of life in Fengyue Freedom, and found hope for the future."
"There, there are no nobles, no oppression, everyone is equal, everyone can fight for their own future."
"Under the reform of the Church of Life, no aristocracy monopolizes extraordinary knowledge, all people share knowledge, and everyone has the opportunity to go out of their own way."
"Under the guidance of life believers, different races live in harmony, complement each other's abilities, respect each other, and achieve a win-win situation. In the streets and corners of Fengyue Freedom, you can always see the happy smiles of the people."
"A lie can deceive people, but a happy smile can't deceive people... Mr. Bishop Judge."
"While the Life Church is doing these things, what is the Eternal Church doing for the people?"
Old John talked about the beauty of Fengyue's free collar in a word. Listening to his narration, the crowd onlookers became more and more serious, and many people showed a look of yearning.
The clergy of some churches were thoughtful, but most of the nobles on the high platform frowned.
Noting the changes on and off the stage, the Bishop's expression slightly changed.
He snorted and sneered:
"You deserve to be the preacher of the Church of Life. Even now, you still want to incite the people and make them a stepping stone for you to realize your ambitions!"
"Ambition? Stepping stone? No, Mr. Bishop Trial, you are wrong. We just want to make the world a better place."
Old John shook his head.
As he said, he looked solemnly:
"If we really have ambition, then... ambition is to enable everyone to have personality equality, so that everyone has a better future."
"If there are really stepping stones, then we believers in life are willing to be the first stepping stones on this difficult road!"
"Crazy, you are crazy, you have been completely bewitched by the hypocritical doctrine of the goddess of life!"
Looking at the enthusiastic old John, the bishop of the trial yelled incredulously.
Old John sneered:
"Crazy? No... it's not me who is crazy, but you."
"Mr. Trial Bishop, you will never understand the struggle of the people at the bottom..."
As he said, Old John's expression gradually became excited, and his voice also brought a trace of anger:
"Have you experienced a hard day's work and the harvest is not enough to fill your stomach?"
"Have you ever experienced the days when you were constantly struggling for a livelihood, while also having to endure bullying and oppression by the nobles?"
"Have you ever experienced the tragic experience of giving birth to a child but unable to bear the pressure of raising, and in the end can only bear the pain of infanticide?!"
"Have you seen the tragic situation of the nobles escaping early, abandoning their people, and letting the demons kill after the demons invaded the village, raging across the village?!"
"No, you don't! You don't even know some of these things!"
"You only communicate with the nobles and the church. You are accustomed to judgment and punishment, but you never thought about why people resist."
"In your eyes, you are the only one!"
While speaking, it seemed that he had awakened the sadness in his heart, and Old John gradually became angry.
His eyes were red and his voice trembled:
"These things happen almost every moment in the entire human kingdom. People are helpless, people are suffering, people are confused, and people want help. But where are the eternal churches and nobles?"
"They are at the banquet, they are comparing, they are enjoying comfortably, and everything they enjoy is obtained through the exploitation of ordinary people!"
At the end, Old John shouted angrily, and the loud voice spread almost everywhere in the square.
Hearing the anger in his words, and recalling what he had encountered on weekdays, the people seemed to resonate, and the commotion began to faintly appear. Many people looked at the nobles and the eternal church with a subtle touch.
But Old John got more and more excited as he said:
"You believers of the Eternal Church, like fireflies in the forest in summer, live in your own world, never knowing the coldness of ice and snow in winter..."
"You are in your own interests to safeguard, and you will never consider the broad masses of people!"
"You hold onto the path of ascending, you stifle progressive thinking, you oppress, you exploit, you are the enemy of the people!"
"It is precisely because of your existence that ordinary talents cannot be liberated. It is precisely because of your existence that ordinary talents can only struggle with food and clothing!"
"Such a rotten country! Only when such a fallen church is overthrown can people be liberated from oppression and have a better future!"
Old John speaks surprisingly.
Hearing his words, the nobles on the high platform changed their colors, and the expressions of the priests changed greatly.
The Duke of Corrence snorted coldly and scolded:
"Why do you still make him talk nonsense? Just stop his mouth!"
"He is crazy! Put him to death!"
The archbishops sitting high above also scolded.
The Bishop of Trial panicked even more.
Speaking of it, this was only his first time serving as a judge, and because of this he was promoted from pastor to bishop. He thought it was a lucky job, but he didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing in front of him.
At this moment, he seemed to be able to feel the sight of pity from his colleagues.
The bishop's face was a little pale, and he looked at the angry nobles, and then at the bishops of the church with ugly faces, finally turning his gaze on Pope Benedict II.
Benedict II did not have the slightest emotional fluctuations because of the blasphemous words of Old John, and even the vague commotion of the people in the audience did not seem to make him feel turbulent.
He is like a bystander who has nothing to do with him, watching all this indifferently.
He lowered his eyelids and nodded lightly until he felt the look of the head coach of the trial for help.
The trial bishop immediately understood.
He took a deep breath and ordered to some knights around:
"What are you doing in a daze? He is crazy! Execution! Burn him to death!"
He took a deep breath and suddenly shouted:
"Citizens of the empire! Take a look, this is the eternal church! The fallen eternal church! Once they touch their painful feet, they will not consider solving the problem, but will solve the person who raised the problem!" The nobles have decayed, the church has fallen, people, don’t be numb, wake up! Come unite! Stand up again!"
"Don't endure oppression anymore! Join the Living Church and fight together! Overthrow this decadent kingdom, expel this fallen church, and truly establish our own, fair and just new order!"
"Shut up! Just shut up this bastard's mouth!"
The great aristocrats sitting on the high platform were furious and stood up and shouted.
The hideous look shocked the young Princess Teresa.
The trial knights rushed forward and quickly blocked Old John's mouth with cloth strips, but his high voice still echoed in everyone's heart.
That is one of the high-level magic arts of the Church of Life [Spirit Resonance]...
"Don't you want to live in an era where there are no nobles, no oppression, full of hope and light, everyone can enjoy the dividends of magic, and everyone can have a bright future?"
"Everyone, join us! The Church of Life can guide everyone to a better future. Every village, every city, can become a rich and beautiful Zerowan!"
With the resonance of the soul, Old John’s voice seemed to be more contagious, and this infection spread quickly, and the people under the high platform became more restless, even the soldiers who maintained order felt a great deal pressure.
"Burn him to death! Burn him to death! Burn this damned infidel!"
The nobles and bishops cursed.
The trial knights quickly ignited the flames under Old John, and the platinum flames instantly burned.
It was not an ordinary flame, but a "purifying fire" specifically for the blessing of divine power.
The flames burned and quickly swallowed Old John, but his voice still echoed in people's hearts:
"Hahahahaha... The Eternal Church is nothing but that! But that's it!"
"A single spark can start a prairie fire. If an old John falls, thousands of old Johns will stand up!"
"You can destroy my body, but you cannot destroy my soul!"
"You can persecute changemakers, but you can't stop the progress of the times!"
"The future belongs to the people, and the future belongs to the church of life!"
"People of the empire! Stand up! Join the Church of Life, overthrow this decadent kingdom, drive out this fallen church, and establish a new order of our own! Build a place where everyone will no longer suffer from starvation. Frozen, everyone will have a new order of endless bread and endless ale!"
"The Church of Life is immortal, and the great Goddess Eve is immortal!"
"The Church of Life is immortal, the great Goddess Eve is immortal..."
Old John's voice became weaker and weaker.
The raging flame swallowed him completely, and his voice finally stopped abruptly.
However, the loud laughter and scolding echoed in the minds of the people, and it took a long time to disperse...
The figure of Old John was turned into nothingness in the "fire of purification", but the great nobles and archbishops sitting there were no joy of victory at all.
The commotion among the onlookers became even greater, UU reading www. The city guard of uukanshu.com has begun a violent suppression.
Looking at the panic and angry people under the brutal suppression of the guards, Princess Teresa on the high platform was a little unbearable:
"Master Winster, commoner... don't they have bread and ale?"
"His Royal Highness, people are born unequal. Everyone has their own destiny. While some people are rich, they must also be poor."
Bishop Winster said.
Teresa nodded slightly, and couldn't help asking:
"Without bread and ale, can they buy cake and milk?"
Bishop Winster was startled slightly.
