German folklore -- Faust
"the gate of darkness has been opened and the people have fled in terror..." the four catastrophes of john's apocalypse — death, war, famine and plague — are passing through the clouds of the roll, running, following them by the dark devil of the night, who longed for the power to rule the world.
as the devil entered the sky without permission, and as a result, a twilight flashed, with two wings behind his back, the angel, michael, with a sword in his hand, appeared in the sky, blocking his way.
there was a situation of light and darkness, where angels confronted demons.
"why do you throw disaster into the world and harm humans?" the angel said, "the earth belongs to me, and i can do whatever i want." "the earth will never be yours, because god has created it!" said the angel, "the devil is against it, and he's gambling with the angel: if he can lead a certain individual in the world astray, then the world belongs to him.
so the devil and the angel chose faust to be their subjects.
the devil vows to take faust's soul from god! and perhaps the angel master promised that, if fester could succeed, “destroy the god of faust”, he would be the master of the earth.
they came over the gothic town where faust lived, where the citizens were viewing charades and magic in the marketplaces of the year.
and faust, the white-haired college man, is still in his study room at this time, immersed in his “pointing gold” research experiment.
it was time to spread the plague to the world, and then a massive death began.
the world is terrified and crying out, "the plague is coming! the plague is coming!" a few days later, the inhabitants of the small city had died, and a sip of coffins had been parked on the streets, with dead persons who had been killed by the plague, with their bodies flattened and their faces covered with turbans; a funeral team dressed in black clothes, passing through the streets from time to time, surrounded by fear and despair, a city filled with joy and peace and a climate of peace.
the priest declared that “only those who believe in god can continue to live, and those who do not believe in god will be called to death” and that, for that reason, he called upon people to worship and pray in order to defeat him.
however, confession and prayer ultimately failed to touch god, and people died one by one, even the priest himself was unable to live.
a young girl found faust, a woman of high moral standing, and asked for help from her mother, who was lying dead.
faust poured his potions into the mouth of her teenage mother, but failed to save her life.
faust looked at the people around and lost their lives and their hearts to the plague.
in order to save the population, he searched the books and tried to find a cure for the plague, but all the tricks had failed, and he threw them in the fire with anger.
faust was desperate, and he couldn't help but wonder: "we lost.
now, even faith and knowledge are useless.
it doesn't work.
everything is a lie...
Faust's eyes have occasionally fallen on an open and broken old book, where the words on the page tell him that the Dark God can give him the power to solve the world's problems, and say, “If you swear to be the master of the Dark God, to help you, to fulfil your will, and to deliver to you all the power and beauty of the world, then come to a crossroads where the devils of German legend gather and stand there and call it three times ” Faust, in the light of the moonlight, came to the crossroads, quenching three times, and the devil appeared with a storm of wind and lightning.
Faust saw the face of the devil in front of him and gave him a glamorous look in his heart.
Fearing, he turned and ran home, closed the door and tried to keep the devil out.
He was not the first to know the truth, and God was waiting in his book.
Faust was unable to escape the devil, but in order to save the many who sought his help, he made a pact with him against his will: he borrowed from the devil the power of a day of national liberation; And Fester, as a servant, has the duty to satisfy the will of Master Faust...
However, when the people learned that Faust was in alliance with the devil and that he had helped them to heal them, they threw stones at Faust in a state of rage, and it was thanks to Faust who escaped in time that he did not die.
Faust wants to kill himself.
He reminded Faust not to forget his covenant with him, and the scheduled trial date had not yet come.
After that, he blamed Faust: "Why did you seek to die? In the past, you were buried in dust, in a rotten book, and you have not enjoyed your life as yet." You know, having fun is everything.
Faust cannot help but lament his age, which is no longer a happy age.
And so Fester promised Faust another youth, a taste of the greatest happiness in life.
After that, Fester used magic to restore his youth and traveled with young, handsome Faust.
Fester lets Faust stand on his magical flyer, and the two of them swam as free and free.
The Fester promised Faust to see the most beautiful woman in the world.
For that reason, they first went to Palma in Italy, where the people were celebrating their beautiful wedding of the Countess von Palma.
Faust took advantage of the gift of treasure to abduct the bride.
The bridegroom, Duke Von Palma, who stood up for his rescue, was stabbed to death by the sword of Fester.
However, at a time when Faust and the duchess von Palma fell in love, Jean Fester declared that the one-day trial period was over.
Faust will not rest at this time, begging the devil to keep him young and happyKeep selling yourself to the devil.
Faust is enjoying his new life, and he's often “drinked together and felt his untimely enthusiast...” However, Faust's unsettled mind was not satisfied, and he eventually sent him back to his home country。
