Evil will not deceive you

Hansen's incident didn't just happen to him. In a tavern in a small town, a group of workers were gathering in the tavern to drink, but the atmosphere between them was quite heavy.

Because they don't want to join the army either.

Joining the army means death and separation from your family. In this world, there is nothing more terrifying than knowing that you are going to die.

But these people, these people with thick arms, who had never held a sword hilt or a spear for a day, and who had always been in the fields or in various workshops, all gathered together, thinking about whether they should join the army.

The smell of tobacco spreads in the tavern. Although everyone has drinks in their hands and the dishes on the table are very rich, there is only the smell of smoke in the tavern.

What lingers here is only heaviness and depression.

Finally, one person could not accept the oppressive atmosphere and spoke.

"We don't have to be loyal to Mr. Li Ke, and we can indeed take these things and leave, but everyone, have you ever thought about it, do anyone in this world really treat us as human beings?"

The speaker was a worker in a steel factory. People around him used to call him Hard-working Robert because he had married a wife through hard work and even bought a few cows with his own efforts.

but then……

His wife was sick and was finally cured, but he was also sick. But the good news is that his wife is pregnant.

But this joy did not last long. While chopping wood, his wife accidentally entered the lord's private hunting ground.

Then... his wife was beaten, had a miscarriage, and became seriously ill.

And because his wife picked some mushrooms to replenish his health, his family's cattle and money were taken away as compensation.

His wife kept saying she was sorry. Although he kept reassuring her that she didn't have to worry and that he could revive the family again, his wife still committed suicide because of guilt.

After that, he tried his best to have his wife buried as a believer of the Holy Light, but the bishop of the church in his area did not allow this, because people who commit suicide are not qualified to receive the salvation of the Holy Light.

He spent everything he had left for this, but in the end, his wife was not able to be buried in the name of a Holy Light believer.

He was confused. He didn't know who he should blame. His wife cared about him, his lord was not at fault, and the bishop had no problem.

So why does he still have so much suffering?

He was confused and began to live in a hazy way.

But after hearing about Li Ke's miracle, he chose to come to this man blessed by the Holy Light to get the answer.

Then he met Pastor Carl.

Pastor Karl told him that Mr. Li Ke believed that the Holy Light was a beautiful character in people's hearts, rather than a specific thing. His wife felt guilty and left in order not to drag him down, which was enough to prove her love for the man.

She did deserve to be punished for breaking the law, but for a wife who loved her husband, her fault was just not getting the lord's permission.

This is atonement, this is repentance for what she has done. She is a qualified believer, and the Holy Light will accept her. Although suicide is not a good thing, it means weakness and unwillingness to take responsibility, but her love for him was enough for the Holy Light to care for her.

Therefore, Pastor Carl accepted his wife's necklace and buried it in the church garden so that she could bask in the light of the Holy Light. He also treated his injuries and found him a job.

During this period, Pastor Carl did not charge any money, he just asked him to help tell the pilgrims the way so that they could find where they wanted to go.

Then he realized that the Holy Light Teachings here were written by Li Ke himself.

It was precisely because of Li Ke's view that his wife was able to bathe in the holy light again.

As he began to work, his life finally gained color again, and for the first time he understood that the beauty described by the Holy Light could not only be obtained after death.

Li Ke has many opportunities here, with generous wages and property, and is willing to accept anyone who is willing to abide by the law. He often wonders, if he had not lived in his original place, but in Li Ke's small town, would he now have a healthy and happy wife, a lively and active child, and a happy life.

He didn't care what Li Ke gave him, and he didn't care whether he could come back alive, because he firmly believed -

Li Ke is the incarnation of Holy Light.

A living saint.

It was God, his savior, the only hope and salvation in his dark world.

Because before meeting Li Ke, the life he lived could hardly be called a human life.

Good food, good wine, warm and decent clothes, a fair environment, just officials, and no need to worry about losing everything and dying without a burial if you offend the guards and nobles. Don't worry about everything else, don't worry that you will starve to death just by not working for a day.

He can pursue a better life here.

But he did not plan to marry again and have children, because he would no longer leave a place for love in his heart. After seeing everything Li Ke had done, he recalled everything he had encountered, and compared the differences between Li Ke and others. Afterwards, he developed a noble sense of mission.

He wants to live to spread the gospel of the Holy Light, the gospel of Li Ke!

"I ask again, after experiencing life here, do you still want to go back?"

He looked at the other people in the tavern and waved his arms.

"Do you still want to be charged 70% of the grain by the nobles, and have to put in countless efforts to get a better life? Do you still want your children to be like you, unable to see the future in your life? "

The people in the tavern didn't answer, but their eyes slowly gave the answer.

"Then come and defend him, brothers! We don't have to fight for Master Li Ke, we don't have to fight for the Holy Light, but we have to fight for our children and our families, right? And the life here is not what we used to do Do you want the life you want even if you die?!"

His voice was impassioned, but among the workers, a man suddenly spoke up.

"But, we are just farmers and workers... fighting... I have never touched a sword in my life. We are not warriors, we have never learned to fight!"

There was a hint of melancholy and timidity in this man's voice, but it made everyone lower their heads again.

But the man just smiled.

"We are not nobles either! But we have learned mathematics! Music, and various skills! Brothers! Are any of us nobles? Tell me! Are you nobles?!"

The tavern was silent, then burst into laughter.

Of course they are not aristocrats. How can they be aristocrats with mud-legged people like them?

"So, any questions?"

The man raised his glass high.

"there is none left!!"

The workers' voices almost brought down the roof. They shouted and smashed the wine glasses in their hands to the ground, smashing the wine and glasses everywhere.

But after doing all this, I was shocked to find that the hotel proprietress was looking at them with murderous eyes. However, she did not point the finger at them. Instead, she hit the man hard with the rag in her hand, her eyes filled with tears. It is reluctance and uneasiness.

And the man could only hide in embarrassment, not daring to look directly into the other person's eyes.

But just as he was avoiding it, someone suddenly pushed them. The two people finally fell over the wine involuntarily and hugged each other.

As a result, the hearty laughter of the workers rang out again in the tavern.

Time seems to be frozen here.
