Chapter 358: The Black Death

"Pace? Pest๏ผŸ That's what happened. โ€

After hearing the name of the Demon King, he seemed to understand something when he went back to Sixteen Nights.

The name of this "Gift Game" is "ThePiedPiperofHameln", which means Piper Piper of Hamel.

The Pied Piper of Hamel is a story from Grimm's fairy tales.

Moreover, the stage on which this story was created is based on historical references.

Hamel is the town where the story takes place.

The town's history has been marked by a large number of cases of missing children.

In the town of Hamel, where the story takes place, there is also such an inscription.

"June 26, 1284, John and Paul Day. 130 children born in Hamel were lured out by pipers dressed in various colours and eventually disappeared at the execution ground near the hills."

The inscription recounts a real event that took place in the town of Hamel and is displayed along with a piece of stained glass.

At the same time, it is also one of the later Grimm fairy tales, the prototype of the story created under the name "The Pied Piper of Hamel".

In 1284, in the small town of Hamel in Germany, a large number of rats suddenly appeared.

Residents have exhausted all means to evict him.

Just as the mayor and the residents are worried about the future of the town, a wandering outsider dressed in a spotted pattern costume with a flute stuck in his waist appears.

He calls himself a rat catcher and promises to get rid of the rat infestation, but must pay him a bag of gold coins.

The mayor of the town immediately said that if he could get rid of the rat infestation, he could even be paid more.

So the piper took out his flute and played a magical tune.

The rats of the whole town of Hamel followed the Pied Piper to the banks of the Weser River as if they were enchanted.

Confused rats jumped into the Weser River one by one, and were eventually swept away by the river.

The townspeople were overjoyed that the rat infestation that had plagued them for so long was finally lifted.

But when the Piper demanded payment, the mayor and the inhabitants turned against him, breaking their promise and refusing to pay what was supposed to be paid to him.

The Piper suppressed his anger and left the town in silence.

So on June 26th, the Pied Piper reappeared.

This time, he blew a tune to seduce the child.

Lured by the sound of the rat man's horn, 130 children left the town of Hamel and have not been heard from since.

"The Pied Piper of Hamel" is roughly such a story.

When I rushed up to the "Boundary Wall" sixteen nights ago, I encountered two demons.

The man with short black hair was named Wesser, which naturally reminded him of the Weser River.

The woman in the revealing costume was named Ratten, which means mouse in German.

These are all scenes in "The Pied Piper of Hamel".

Now the demon king calls himself Pest, which means plague and the Black Death in German.

The so-called Black Death, which was widespread during the Xiaoice Age after the fourteenth century, was one of the worst plagues in human history.

The disease causes sepsis, which causes people to die after having black spots all over their bodies.

Indeed, it has been suggested that the mass disappearance of children in the town of Hamel was caused by the Black Death.

First, the ratcatcher in Grimm's fairy tales wears a spotted costume.

Second, the fairy tale rat catcher can manipulate the cause of the Black Death pandemic, the rat.

These two points are the reasons why these people argue that 130 children died of the Black Death.

But herein there is a problem.

Hamel's inscription states that it was dated 1284.

But the time when black disease is identified as a pandemic is hundreds of years after 1350.

The heyday of the Black Death does not correspond to the epigraph-era context of the town of Hamel.

Then, a possibility came to mind reversing the sixteenth night.

"Peste, you're from a time that has nothing to do with Hamel's inscription, right?"

"Yes."

The black wind surging around Pace stopped suddenly, revealing a smile.

At the same time, the entire outer door began to vibrate.

Black pillars of light shot into the sky, turning it pitch black.

The palace built by excavating the "boundary wall" was swallowed up by the light.

Gradually, it was as if the entire "Boundary Wall" had disappeared as well.

Instead, there is an unfamiliar streetscape that spreads out beyond the palace.

As far as the eye can see, a large number of minaret vaults have been transformed into wooden buildings.

The chandeliers that create the dusk atmosphere have disappeared and have been replaced by pink buildings.

The whole town was turned into an unfamiliar environment.

An incomparably ferocious black storm blew around Pace.

The ominous and strange vortex made the reverse sixteenth night feel a little frightened.

It also made him regain some interest in the Demon King.

It's a pity that now the battle is over.

Looking back at the sixteenth night, it can be seen that no matter how much the demon king named Pace struggles, the storm will never spread.

In other words, everything was still under Qin Mo's control.

The whole town has become so unfamiliar that it is probably Pace who opened Hamel's magic book.

Kuroka and Hakuyasha had told him about the Grimm Grimoire, a community led by the Demon King, who had summoned demons from a total of more than 200 magic books.

The "Covenant Document" states that the "Community" led by Pester is called "Grimm Grimoire Hameln", and the connection is too obvious.

It's just that I didn't expect that Hamel's magic book power could do this.

What exactly is Pace's body?

In the original lineage and inscriptions, there is no such thing as a piper manipulating mice.

It was only after the 1500s, at the height of the Black Death, that rats and rat manipulation began to appear in Hamel's piper lineage.

Now that Hamel's Book of Magic has been activated, these pink Renaissance buildings have also appeared in the late 15th century.

This further confirmed his suspicions.

In the true lineage of "Pipers of Hamel", the so-called Black Death and rats are impostors.

There are many things that may have contributed to the current situation in the context of Hamel's Piper lineage and the chronicles of the Black Death.

But there is only one theory that Sixteen Nights thinks is the most likely.

In Hamel's lineage, both the rat catcher and the rat as the source of the black disease have a common name: the thing that brings death. Choking and Strange Novels|w~w~w.

In other words, the Grim Reaper.

The "Ling" comes from the dead who died in the Black Death from the 14th to the 17th century, and had the merit of "80 million deaths".

"Your body is a god, isn't it? "Black Death Spot Reaper" Peste. โ€

Turning back to the sixteenth night, he gave his answer.

"Is there anything that needs to be corrected?"

Although he seemed to be asking Pace a question, his eyes were always focused on Qin Mo's body.
