Chapter 174: Keep Blowing B

[Hamel's Piper], to be honest, there is no such thing as a so-called Piper in the body, and it was only for the disappearance of one hundred and thirty children at the beginning-

But after the 16th century, the story was adapted into a fairy tale, and the Pied Piper was portrayed as a ratcatcher. He accepted a commission from the villagers of Hamel to get rid of the rat infestation, played the magic flute, and lured the rat colony to the Weser River to drown. However, afterwards, the villagers reneged on their promise and did not pay, and the piper left in anger. Some time later, on Saints John and Paul's Day (26 June), when the villagers were gathering at the church, the piper reappeared and took 130 children with him. The children were taken to a cave and never heard from them.

Most scholars believe that the story of the Piper reflects a mass number of children dying at some point in Hamel's history. Two causes of death may be:

1. Acts of God

There are two theories: landslides and mudslides due to storms or flooding of the Weser River.

2. The Black Death

Spread in Europe in the 1340s, the main theory of its cause is the plague theory, caused by Yersinia pestis. Pestis is the Latin word for plague, which is the source of Pest's name.

It has also been suggested that the folk tale reflects events such as the colonization of Eastern Europe or the Children's Crusades of 1212.

"And as I said before, the condition for victory is [to smash the forged legacy to reveal the true one], and in the town where the story of the Pied Piper of Hamel, the home of Peste, is located, the glass paintings and Pestes must be smashed to ensure that the glass paintings reflect the true story."

"Hypocritical glass painting?"

"Well, the story of [Hamel's Piper] was originally nothing more than a glass painting, depicting not a mouse but a child, and the hills of the true heritage also alluded to the Weser River next to it, so the demon Weser is the real Piper of Hamel." Li Na nodded.

"So, if I don't defeat Pace and her demons, or if they don't shatter all the false inheritances and keep any of the true ones, we'll lose."

"Isn't that fair?! Didn't you just say that, Lord Yingjie? Isn't there a very strong rule in a world like Hakoniwa, a hodgepodge of myths? Amy said incredulously.

"That's why I call her the Demon King, it's because I can take the initiative to launch the [Gift Competition], and I ignore fairness, they who are given the name of [Demon King] can cause riots anywhere in the box garden, and they are relatively White Night King, who has become a guardian, and Pace is a new demon king, and he doesn't understand many rules, so we won, otherwise it's useless no matter how strong I am." Li Na said with a wave of his hand.

"That's right······ Wait a minute! Lord Yingjie! You say····· The White Night King is also a [Demon King]? ”

"Or [Original Demon King], it is the oldest heaven and earth saying in most of the world - [Heavenly Movement Theory]!" Li Na smiled slightly.

"Tiandong said! It's actually that Tiandong said?! The oldest saying of heaven and earth·····" The gray-haired girl said in surprise.

"Tiandong said?" The Pope looked confused, it seems that the cultural knowledge of the other world is much stronger than theirs!

"The Tiandong theory is a theory that the ancients believed that the earth is the center of the universe, and other planets revolve around her." The gray-haired girl explained.

"Because the ancients lacked sufficient data on cosmic observations and had a human-centered mindset, they mistakenly believed that the earth was the center of the universe and that the other stars orbited her. Claudius Ptolemy of ancient Greece developed the geocentric model, and in order to explain the retrograde phenomenon of some planets (i.e., at some point, the trajectory of those stars is seen from the Earth, sometimes these stars will move in the opposite direction), so he proposed the theory that these stars will follow some small orbits in addition to orbiting the Earth. Later, Catholicism, the largest church in our world, accepted this as the "orthodoxy" of the worldview. ”

"The largest church? Isn't the church of the world of the brave adults unified? The Pope asked, stunned.

"The religions on the earth, from the most primitive druids and the hundreds of schools of thought in the East, if you count them, there are not hundreds but thousands, but now there are only three most famous left, Christianity, Buddhism, and Islam, these three are the largest, of which Christianity has the largest number of believers, about fifteen to two billion people, and now there are more than 100 countries in the world, which are much larger than your world." Li Na glanced at the Pope and Amy, who had fallen into a stupor.

"Also, don't change the subject while I'm talking."

As soon as the Pope spoke, the topic immediately shifted from [The Pied Piper of Hamel] directly to the religion of the earth.

"Hug ····· I'm sorry, but I'm just curious about the world of the Brave Adults·······" The Pope reacted and said embarrassedly.

However, the world of the brave adults is really advanced! The number of believers in a religion has reached 100 million·······

All the followers of our Holy Sect together are not even 100 million!!!

"In the end, although I successfully solved the [Attack of the Demon King], I was also banned from the competition, after all, I have the power to defeat the Demon King, and those cowards naturally don't want the game to become a one-sided torture." Li Na sighed and scratched her head.

"That's right, after all, it's a game! It's as powerful as cheating, so naturally no one will let you participate! The short and fat brave man nodded and said, and then he reacted, waving his hand with a slightly pale face, "No, no, no······!" I didn't mean that! ”

"It doesn't matter, I've heard this sentence from a certain stinky boy with a poisonous tongue (Sixteen Nights: Haqiu!) I've said it many times. ”

“········ But, then again, why are you all from the Shinto side, well, I'm talking about the Japanese. Li Na touched his chin and said with some curiosity.

"Shinto side?" At this moment, not only the Pope and Amy were stunned, but even the six brave men were stunned.

Although the state religion of Japan is Shintoism, few of them believe in God!

"There is no so-called subordination to the human beings in the box garden, but there are human beings in the real world, such as China, which is the sphere of influence of the ancient mythology of the East, Japan is the mythological power of Shintoism, and there are too many divisions in the West, including Greek mythology, Mesopotamia, Judea, fire worship, Islam, and so on······ But now Christianity can be said to be the dominant family, and because of this, in the box garden, the relationship of Christian mythology is often attacked and ostracized by other gods. "Li Na is no longer joking, after all, before he was banned from playing, he had also participated in several [Gift Competitions] held by other communities, and among them, there were very few Christian gifts to see.

Although Hamel's Pied Piper is also a Christian cosmology, in reality, it can only be regarded as a folk legend and cannot be compared with mythology.
