Rebirth of the Viking King

Chapter 24 1.24 The Coast of Northumbria

English Isles, Kingdom of Northumbria.

Lindisfarne Abbey

"If you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. If you do not forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will not forgive you."

Outside the window, the heavy rain has been falling for a day and a night. But Jerome is still bent over the desk.

Gently dipped the brush in his hand into the heavy gold ink, he widened his eyes and concentrated his spirit.

"The Holy Lord once prayed for those who executed him, saying, 'Father, forgive them, because they do not know.'"

He carefully outlined and did not dare to slack off.

In this era before the emergence of printing, every "Gospel of the Holy Lord" was completed by handwriting recorders like Jerome, who wrote and drew.

At that time, copying books was by no means an easy job.

Any Holy Lord believer had to go through several years of study before picking up a brush dipped in gold powder.

Jerome's teacher was famous. His name was "Saint" Euseubi, and he was the cardinal archbishop sent by the Roman Catholic Church to the English Islands.

"Saint" Euseubi was a chosen one who majored in "the path of faith" and was said to have cultivated to the seventh "prophet".

After entering the English Islands, he had predicted locust plagues and droughts several times, and accurately and effectively organized the believers to evacuate the crowds before the disasters came to reduce losses.

Although the English Islands were still 7 countries competing for supremacy at this time. But because of the existence of Euseubi, almost all the monarchs of the 7 countries believed in the Holy Bishop. He has been traveling in 7 different countries for many years, saving lives and spreading the gospel. In many areas, he is even more popular than the monarch.

Many nobles and lords donated money to build many Holy Bishop churches. Under the spontaneous propaganda of the masses, the Holy Bishop began to spread in the English Islands at a very fast speed.

Everyone knows the "12 Saints" worshipped in the Holy Bishop Church. Their faces are clearer to most residents than relatives and friends. Walking into the church to listen to the priest reading the gospel on the weekend "Anxi Day" has almost become an indispensable part of their lives.

This faith is not in vain. Just like the Hall of Valor, the Holy Lord Christ has also passed down 5 upgrade paths for the people.

"War, Law, Faith, Holy Light, Justice"

This is also the main way for the residents of the English Isles to practice magic after being promoted to "God's Chosen".

Unlike the Viking warriors in the Hall of Valor who drank magic potions and attracted the attention of the gods between life and death. The way for the disciples of the Holy Bishop to upgrade their sequence level is to gain the power of faith

And the most convenient way to gain the power of faith is to preach.

Copy a book and be read devoutly by someone, and the Holy Lord will naturally see it.

Building a church and attracting people to worship is a great achievement!

The Holy Bishops and the congregation, everyone takes preaching as their responsibility. In order to spread the gospel of the Holy Lord, they can selflessly donate their property to the church and help the poor who are suffering.

They can devote everything they have.

Jerome quietly worked at his desk to draw. He studied the "Justice" sequence, which is quite rare among the holy bishops. As a disciple of the saint, many people simply couldn't understand why he would do such a "low-quality" job.

With the support of "Euseubi", he could easily get a job as a church bishop, wearing a robe and preaching doctrine every day, living a relaxed and comfortable life and quickly gathering the power of faith.

Even if he didn't want to be a bishop, being a gospel preacher, a church asset collector, or even joining the Crusaders was better than lying on the desk every day, tired and dazed, with backaches.

The carefully drawn atlases would be collected by the church for a large part of the income.

Many priests around Jerome who worshipped the saint at the same time have become outstanding people, but he is still sinking to the bottom of the water and penniless.

But he doesn't care about other people's opinions.

In Jerome's eyes, people of different identities serve the Lord in their own way. And his way is to copy books.

He likes the feeling of a brush rubbing against papyrus, and he also likes to draw various gospel paintings of heaven. In the process of copying the book, he felt that his soul was very calm, able to let it escape from the disputes of the secular world and serve the Holy Lord without distraction.

It was late, and the rain was still pouring outside the window. The partners who were copying the scriptures by hand had gone back to their rooms to sleep, and only Jerome remained in the studio. He closed his eyes and rested for a while, then dipped the brush in his hand into gold ink again, intending to go back to the room to sleep after copying this page.

The Ten Commandments of Moses:

1. Do not believe in other gods except the Holy Lord Jehovah

As soon as he wrote this sentence, his palm suddenly trembled for no reason. A drop of heavy gold ink hit the scripture that was about to be copied, and the full ink dripped onto the papyrus and broke into eight petals.

Like a drop of blood falling in the air.

Jerome blinked hard and looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief. He has been copying scriptures for 10 years. He can't remember when he accidentally dropped ink last time.

A drop of ink fell on the originally beautiful and clean scripture, and the picture gave him the feeling that a fly fell on the white bread.

(The bishop gave me the scripture work for the youngest daughter of the King of Kent. This full page is full of gold! It would be a pity to waste a drop of ink)

The brush gently touched the golden ink drop, and Jerome used only three strokes to turn the drop of ink into a golden flower blooming at the foot of the page. He shook his head gently, dipped his brush in ink again, and continued to copy.

2. Do not worship idols

3. Do not take the name of the Holy Lord "Jehovah" in vain

4. The Lord’s Sabbath is holy

5. Honor your parents

Writing one by one, Jerome smoothly wrote the last of the Ten Commandments of Moses.

10. Don’t covet other people’s things

The next word is "one", which is a very simple word. However, at this moment, a thunder suddenly exploded in the gloomy sky! Jerome's wrist trembled uncontrollably, and ink spattered all over the page!

What's wrong with me? ?

Last year in Kent, even if an earthquake broke out, I could still finish copying the scriptures without moving. The earth and the sky were trembling when the earth shook and the mountains shook, but my hand was resolutely steady.

What's going on today?

Looking confusedly at the gloomy sky outside the window, he discovered that there seemed to be a towering giant swinging a hammer behind the dark clouds amid the plasma spurts! Bursts of lightning spurted out from the hammer in his hand, making an explosion like the earth was shattering!

What is this? !

Turning around in shock and anger, I saw two huge crows flying in from the window at some point. They stood on the scripture he had just copied, staring at him with their dark eyes and beaks.

The two beaks were bent into an upward arc, and the expression seemed to be smiling at him!
