[Comprehensive British and American] Soul Wandering

68:

Catherine smiled awkwardly, flipping through the Latin textbooks, and in a hurry, she tried to cover everything just now with a few words: "The Duke of Mantua is really knowledgeable, he can explain the profound philosophy so thoroughly in just a few words."

The smile on his face was undiminished, his slender white hand landed on her textbook, and his index finger groped for a colored picture in the book, which was the story of the Crusades.

"Do you want to go to Jerusalem?" he asked.

Who in the world would not want to go to Jerusalem?Who would not want to go to the holy city that is ups and downs in the wind and rain, the holy city that is shrouded in divine light, the holy city where Her Father in heaven lived, preached, was martyred and resurrected.

"Where is the Duke?" Catherine asked, "What is your belief?"

"Me?" Ambrocchio replied after a moment of silence, "I have no faith."

69:

He has no faith, but it seems that he has received all the blessings of God.

He is noble, talented, knowledgeable, and his face is even more handsome like a god.

Such a perfect person, but without faith.

"If you don't have faith, maybe it will be a regret in your life." Catherine sighed from the bottom of her heart.

The Duke shook his head, his elegant voice was low and deep, like a forest that had accumulated rain for many years, regret mixed with melancholy: "He came late."

When I was born, he had not yet come.

If there really is a Lord who saves the world, he has come too late.

He said: "I am so filthy that even the flames of sin can't redeem me."

"The "Talmud" says that if the world is very beautiful, nine points are in Jerusalem." Catherine stood up, gave him a comforting hug, and promised: "If one day I can go to the place where thousands of people worship Holy City, we must pray for you in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, all sins, please forgive me, the merciful Lord."

70:

He was in a trance, and his thoughts seemed to drift back to more than 500 years ago, back to Jerusalem, and back to Sibylla's side.

From the first meeting, Sibylla could tell right away that he had no faith.

She was wearing a peacock blue cloak embroidered with gold thread, an Arabian tulle veil of the same color, a long waistcoat embroidered in blue silk, and a white tie around her waist.

Typical Arabian court attire.

When she was veiled, she spoke in a somewhat arrogant tone: "Why do people without faith come to Jerusalem?"

"I've come to find relief," he said.

She stood on a high step and looked down at him: "If the Lord has preached the gospel to you, if you have even a shred of true belief in the existence of the Lord, you will not come to Jerusalem in a daze."

He replied crisply: "Yes, although I am confused, I don't have any faith."

"Why?" She was puzzled. "In Jerusalem, no matter who you are, you will have your own beliefs. If you don't have one, then what keeps you alive?"

"I once had faith," he said, "I was from Crete, and I believed in Zeus, and then he sent me to hell, walking in darkness, so I turned my back on him, because of him, I often suspect, Is there a real 'God' in the world?"

71:

He stood in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and asked the Almighty: "What is God?"

The Lord gave him no answer.

Sibila prayed devoutly by his side.

He didn't bother, so he was alone.

Later, Sibylla told him: "Give selflessly, don't ask for anything in return, but only hope that the people who believe in him will walk on the right path, this is God."

He said, according to this standard, how many people in the world can be called gods.

72:

Jerusalem was in turmoil, and war and chaos surrounded that holy city.

So Caius asked Sibylla, "Is Jerusalem heaven or hell?"

Sibylla was born in Jerusalem and grew up in Jerusalem. She has seen its tranquility and its chaos, so she replied: "Several faiths coexist in Jerusalem, and all faiths pursue peace. Jerusalem is still in chaos. Explain the reason for all this." , there is only one reason, and that is human selfish desire."

Because of selfishness, faith becomes an excuse.

Sibila looked at the chaotic kingdom and sighed, "Caius, do people without faith also have selfish desires?"

Caius held her in his arms and comforted her softly: "As you said, only those who have selfish desires will move forward, but selfish desires can also be divided into good and evil."

Sibylla asked, "Then what is your selfish desire?"

Caius put a kiss on the bridge of her nose, "My desire, desire, my longing is all about you. For you, I can do everything. If you leave me, my desire is evil. If you stay with me, my selfish desire is good."

73:

"It is said that the gospel of the Lord will come to the world along with hymns."

Catherine looked longingly at Caius, and she said, "Your Excellency, I will take you to listen to the hymns, and you may be forgiven by the Lord."

Caius shook his head: "I've heard hymns thousands of times, and I haven't heard any gospel. Catherine, I don't have faith, and I don't need it."

The sun became hotter and hotter, and the diamond-like light gradually emerged on Caius' body surface. He had to leave Catherine temporarily, and before leaving, he kissed her forehead again.

As he said to Sibylla more than 500 years ago, he made that promise again:

"Everything in the world is changing fast, and all I can offer you is love and the loyalty of a man who has never had faith."
