The red-clothed yelled eyes stared at those books.
"These books, there are seven thousand three hundred and fifty-two books, trying to prove that the Lord is not omnipotent in various ways, and there are five thousand two hundred and twenty books, which compare the only light and true God Creator of the universe to the specimens they study The higher creatures, spying on the power of the Lord, still have twenty-one books, insisting on the heresy of "Heliocentric Theory"... "
There was an overwhelming roar of anger, and there were constant radical and fanatical believers, clamoring to destroy the Gran Academy of Natural Sciences. At this moment, the academy had to rely on the church knights to maintain order.
I have to say, it's kind of ironic.
How can such a scene not make many scholars angry!
On the high platform, seeing many believers excited and excited, the Great Hierarch in Red knew that he had demonstrated the deterrent power of the church to those guys, so it was time to end this farce.
"There are still people who believe in the heresy of hundreds of years ago, that the sun is the center of the universe? Think that the star screen world is a huge spherical celestial body? Think that there are countless spherical celestial bodies similar to the star screen world in the universe?"
The High Priest in Red let out a chuckle.
"Ignorance and stupidity! It's sad and ridiculous! Hundreds of years of enlightenment gifts from the "Ceremony of Light" can't save their brains? If the star screen world is a huge sphere, not the original sin box, why didn't we fall?"
Ha ha ha ha…
Seeing that the great leader in red actually made a lighthearted joke.
The originally high-spirited believers also laughed, full of sarcasm about the arrogance and ignorance of the Gran Academy of Natural Sciences, sympathy and sympathy for the ignorance of the scholars.
"Today, as a loyal servant of the great Creator of Light in the world, I announce that all these 17,642 books involving blasphemy against the true God will be burned! And thirteen laboratories that violate the will of the Light will be permanently banned. All experimental props and equipment will be destroyed!"
"Burn!"
"Judgment!"
Accompanied by the shouts of praise from the fanatical believers, the crowds were crowded, and beyond the crowd that Lei Luo couldn't see, the flames shot up into the sky.
An indescribable sadness filled Lei Luo's heart.
Looking at the happiness, joy, and excitement of the surrounding crowd, and listening to the cursing words in the mouth of the farmer uncle next to him, it is probably time to burn those nobles who are full and dare to study books that slander the God of Light, etc. After speaking, the heart is unprecedentedly peaceful.
"One day, reason will defeat ignorance, and the laws of truth in the universe and starry sky will completely destroy the power of faith in the gods!"
Lei Luo took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.
After about an hourglass time.
Amid the high-pitched chants of light, the High Priest in red was escorted by many light knight guards, and left slowly.
While the believers were satisfying their prayers, following the spring rain, they also gradually dispersed with the Knights of Light. Lei Luo in the crowd did not see the great priest in red from the beginning to the end, but just stood there silently, dumbfounded. Staring blankly at the raging fire in the distance.
patter...
Probably due to the influence of the previous miracle, after the clouds in the sky gathered again, the rain gradually fell and became bigger and bigger, but this rain could not extinguish the flame with the light and divinity.
These books are the wisdom crystallization of the predecessors and sages of the academy who explored the profound meaning of truth, but now the church has been burned and burned!
It wasn't just Lei Luo, countless scholars stood there blankly, letting the raindrops hit their bodies, soaking their academic uniforms, silently watching the fire of light and divine power, burning blazingly in the rain.
"That is… "
Suddenly!
As the number of people in the rain became less and less, Lei Luo stared blankly at the lonely old man through the rushing evacuation crowd and the pattering rain curtain.
"Instructor Gu Bo!!!"
Lei Luo rushed over desperately, took out the blanket from the space box, and put it on Gu Bo's body, but it was soon wet by the rain again.
Gu Bo didn't notice this at all, he just watched the burning books in a daze, his eyes were bloodshot, and wept helplessly like a child.
Gu Bo took off his glasses and let the rain fall on his head, mixed with sad tears, flowing slowly along the wrinkles of the years, splashing down on the rainwater stained black by the ashes of books under his feet.
"These books are the essence of wisdom that our ancestors spent countless days and nights in the process of exploring the truth. They are entrusted to us to complete the exploration of knowledge! But they were burned, burned..."
Lei Luo had never seen such sadness from his mentor, as if he had lost the most important thing in his life, he was crying hysterically.
Feeling empathetic, Lei Luo also cried together.
Gu Bo looked at Lei Luo in the rain, grabbed Lei Luo's shoulders tightly, and said in a sobbing voice: "It only takes half an hourglass to burn these books, but writing these books is the work of the sages through generations of exploration and cultivation. accumulating..."
Lei Luo looked at the blazing flames.
There is still a team of light knights watching the guarding burning ceremony to prevent scholars from trying to rescue the books. With the flame of divinity, even in the rain, they did not retreat in the slightest.
"tutor!"
Lei Luo wiped away his tears and shouted from the bottom of his heart.
"Rationality will eventually defeat ignorance! I believe we will be able to create a future full of hope! In that era, our hard work will no longer be trampled on, and all scholars who insist on truth and science will be able to maintain their due dignity live!"
In the distance, Sha Tuola came running.
"Mentor! Junior brother! The teacher's wife and sister have already gone back, so go back quickly!"
Shatuoluo's voice was hoarse, and he could hardly speak. He frantically took out an umbrella from the space box, and hit Gu Bo and Lei Luo on the heads, allowing himself to be drenched in the rain.
"Teacher, let's go back!"
Holding on to the trembling Gu Bo, the three of them left slowly amidst the wind and rain.
…
Book-burning incidents like this in the church have been carried out more than a dozen times in various colleges and universities since Pioneer Benevens dedicated himself to the truth.
In particular, the Wutoran Academy of Natural Sciences, which insisted on the "heliocentric theory" that Bai Nivens belonged to, has experienced several catastrophes!
Countless academic books on the study of the truth and laws of the universe and starry sky were burned by the church, and various optical research instruments and production methods have been completely lost.
Other academies of natural sciences and private laboratories were also forced to give up their studies on the laws of truth in the universe and starry sky due to the lack of necessary optical instruments and pressure from the church. rolling in history.
next few days.
The church knights who took over the security of the academy left the Gran Academy of Natural Sciences in batches, and the academy gradually regained its former freedom.
A large number of mercenaries began to come to purchase, and also sold their own harvest, and many shops gradually came back to life.
Scholars also gradually recovered from their grief, the college began to operate normally, and everything was back on track.
