"This! It's the power of the witch! ”

"This!! It's the power of our resistance! ”

"This !! It's us leaving this shabby, rotten neighborhood! Take off the disgusting title of 9-3! ”

"To those who exploited us! Squeeze ours! Defying the power of our class vengeance! ”

The words are fanatical, sonorous and resolute with a strong incitement, and the man standing on the high platform has an exaggerated posture, like a mentally disturbed patient,

But after the miracle that had just been witnessed, even if it was such a word, everyone below was immersed in it, raised their arms and shouted in approval!

And on the steel beam, I witnessed such a scene, I thought it was just a group of people at the bottom of the society, who happened to get something that had something to do with the night battle and committed evil deeds, but the moment I heard Osfia say the name 'witch',

Fang Ran found that things were starting to go beyond his expectations.

Instinctively thought of the dark and mysterious demonic figure in my mind, and for a moment I seemed to understand the source of the throbbing just now.

Then at this moment, several middle-aged men who looked like they were of the privileged class were tied to the shelves and pushed up, their faces pale and trembling, their bodies wrapped in strips of cloth that had been drained of blood, and everyone around them raised the fire in their hands and screamed, as if they wanted to burn them alive!

It makes people think they're crazy.

Yes, it's crazy.

The malice of mutilating others is like stagnant black mud gushing out, suppressing the urge to rush down to save people now, feeling uncomfortable with such a cult picture, Fang Ran opened his mouth with a slight frown:

"What are they doing here?"

"Black magic is one of the most dangerous branches of ability on the mysterious side, and it is extremely easy for ordinary people to be polluted by the spirit of its owner when they come into contact with related things without permission, and that person is no longer normal,"

Osfia looked at the leading 'black sheep' on the high platform, like looking at a dead man who had half his foot in the abyss.

"His current hatred and jealousy of the wealthy class has been related to the residual spiritual influence of the witch herself on that item."

"My... Psychic influence, so why did it become like this? ”

Hearing this, Fang Ran muttered in surprise, thinking that he didn't know anything about the title of this 'witch', glanced at him, and Osfia slowly spoke in a slight voice:

"There was a witch hunt in Europe, also known as witch trials."

Her blue eyes looked at the 'cultists' holding flames around the men below, as if she had seen a microcosm of that era, only this time the men and women were reversed.

"At a time when there was no scientific concept, witchcraft was widely considered to exist and evil, and the act of those in power ordering killings for fear of threatening their rule led to a wave of witch hunts centuries ago,"

"Because of jealousy, persecution from above, ignorant fear, and even coveting beauty to see who looks like without clothes, innocent women are extremely easily slandered as witches, brutally forced to confess and burned at the stake, ushering in the horrific end of a miserable death."

"Do you know how the secular courts of that era used to determine whether a woman was a witch or not?"

Speaking of this, Osfia glanced at him, and his words paused for a moment before he slowly spoke:

"It's a book called 'The Hammer of the Witch', and it's full of ridiculous logic that if you throw it into the water, it's not a witch who drowns, it's a witch who doesn't drown."

The darkness above the underground pit was unbelievable as Osfia told this, unable to believe that this could be a historical fact.

I can't even imagine that this is what the figure has experienced....

"How could this happen..."

And remembering that I seemed to have heard how dark the era was when it was still theocratic, the moment I asked,

Fang Ran suddenly stopped realizing that the identity of the figure beside him came from it.

"I know what you're thinking, but first of all I'm a knight of arbitration and not a churchgoer, and secondly the church in history isn't exactly what you think."

Dark eyes hid in the darkness and stared down, and those who had gone crazy were still 'praying', only to listen to Osfiya's voice ringing peacefully in his ears.

"For that period, the Church as you know it was feudal, anti-science, backward in thought, it was the inquisition that manipulated the Inquisition to execute any heretic who challenged the authority of the Church, it was the culprit that led to the darkness of the Middle Ages and the witch hunt."

Osfia looked at the prayers of the people below who had lost their minds, and was ready to save people at any time, and lightly said that the religious church of that period had been rendered by various arts and cultures and in the eyes of the public.

"But in fact, before the birth of modern science, as an upper class, many advanced and excellent people were members of the Church, Galileo was a Christian, and the Pope himself was his friend,"

"Copernicus was a devout Catholic, he never felt that his theory and beliefs were in conflict, and the church did not interfere with his research, until he published it in his later years, just because he was perfecting his theory, but he went wrong with the perfect circle plan."

The black eyes were stunned, thinking that the darkness of the witch hunt was because of the religious persecution of that period,

Remembering that he knew that Galileo was imprisoned by the Church, Copernicus was afraid of the dying of authority before he dared to publish his theory, and then listened to Osphia tell completely different facts, as if to uncover the whole picture of history.

"Until now, the religious persecution of scientists at that time is still in the minds of many people, and they still think that Bruno was burned to death for defending heliocentrism."

Searched the entire underground pit again, and found no suspicious clues or traces of the participants' activities, and had already judged in my heart that the cult incident here had nothing to do with the association.

Thinking that this was really just an ordinary incident, Osfiya, who had relaxed a little, looked at Fang Ran.

"It's ridiculous, just like many people in China still think that Qin Shi Huang burned books and pit Confucianism, and he was a brutal emperor."

Surprised that she didn't know what to say, Fang Ran listened to her say words that overturned her past common sense, and then listened to Osphia lower her voice.

"And it's the same with witch hunting."

"The official attitude of the Catholic Church has always been that witches do not exist at all, to stop these superstitious and ignorant behaviors,"

Describing the real situation of that era that cannot be summed up by a single sentence of 'church persecution', through the scene of the cult in front of him, Osfia seems to be able to feel the darkness of that era.

"But it doesn't mean that every local church, secular king, ignorant people in remote villages can think the same way."

From the moment I heard her mention the horror and cruelty of witch hunting, I was speechless, thinking about the figure that had become my salvation more than once,

Fang Ran learned about the witch's past for the first time.

"The background of the Black Death, the persecution of the royal power and nobility out of profit, the private actions of some religious forces, and the lynching of ignorant people in remote villages, all kinds of complex reasons that were born in the social period,"

Looking at the cultists below who had already begun to kneel and pray, thinking that by burning those people they would gain the protection of the 'witch' and leave the bottom of the swampy society, ignorance and superstition were as striking as history repeating itself, making Osfiya whisper condensed words.

"What really led to the witch hunt.... It was the dark side of humanity in that era. ”

Hearing her say this, Fang Ran suddenly remembered what Van Erlinyin had said to him in the narrow room of the battlefield in the time scene,

And then at that moment he was about to say something!

The prayers of the cultists below came to an end, hidden on the steel beams supported by the underground pit, and Fang Ran and Osfia suddenly saw the person at the head reveal the thing they were worshipping for.

- A pitch-black spherical crystal.

An incredibly direct moment of stunned!!

The black eyes widened suddenly, and the cult incident, the fall of the royal court, the dark energy crystal, the association plan, and the dark side of the human race that I had just heard about, all kinds of irrelevant information inexplicably surged into my mind,

I felt as if there was some kind of relationship that could connect them, and the moment when I subconsciously lit up the pupil of my right eye!

Fang Ran saw a line of information emerge in his field of vision,

-'A container that can hold the energy of the dark side of the real world, and is made by special means by crystallizing the dark world'-

And then the next second,

He saw an extra drop of pitch-black liquid out of thin air, filling up the Dark Energy Crystal.
