Chapter 64: The Fanatics
It was as if the switch of an electric light had been pressed down, and light appeared on the dark earth.
The illusory figure slowly condensed, Chu Lin looked at his arm and walked to the sofa not far away.
"Yes, I didn't expect to come."
A female voice rang out, and Deshan appeared in the space.
"You're looking so chic."
Coming out of the memory bubble, Cheng Hai wanted to laugh a little.
"What's wrong? Isn't it cute? ”
Dessan spread out her hand and spun around in place, her bear pajamas furry and a short tail at the back.
Before receiving Cheng Hai's call, she should have been sleeping.
"Wouldn't that seem too negative?" Cheng Hai said speechlessly.
The last one who did this had already been sent back to hell by Chu Lin.
"Didn't you say you wanted to be a mascot? After a good night's sleep, I was also very tired. Di Shan crossed his waist to express dissatisfaction.
Cheng Hai: "......"
High status is willful.
"Have you been ambushed?" Chu Lin suddenly asked.
He heard a few words in Louis's mouth that the demons would do something tonight.
"It's just to attract attention, tentative attacks at best. There won't be much movement until the seal is opened. ”
Di Shan took off the bear hat, took out the long hair inside, and added: "In this kind of skirmish, whoever dies will be killed. ”
"You don't have a good deal with them?" Cheng Hai asked casually.
Compared to Chu Lin's attitude towards the rest of the judges, Di Shan seemed too indifferent.
"Hmm."
Di Shan walked over to Chu Lin and sat down, her slender thighs crossed together, like a lazy queen.
If it weren't for the fact that her pajamas were too dramatic.
"I don't really like those fanatical believers, their actions are too extreme, and sooner or later they will bring disaster to the Holy Church." She squinted, not knowing what she remembered
"Fanatics?" Cheng Hai frowned and said, "Your Holy Sect is also divided into two factions, left and right? ”
That's not quite right.
"These are not bad, and the current Holy Knights are quite peaceful. The Inquisition of the Inquisition back then was the existence that made the world fear. Chu Lin interjected.
The holy scriptures have clouds, and God loves the world.
And these fanatics want the world to love God, even through extreme means!
Their appearance can be traced back to the Crusades.
It was a series of religious military events that went down in history. In order to establish the world church, the original Holy See launched a total of nine wars, which lasted for nearly 200 years, and had an extremely far-reaching impact on later generations.
That war was first fought in the name of reconquistading the lost lands and expelling the infidels, and was widely embraced by the faithful.
So in the beginning, their iron hooves were like spinning meat grinders, unstoppable. It took only two years to fight from Asia Minor to Jerusalem and capture this holy city of great significance.
However, the reconquest of the holy city of Jerusalem is not the end of war, but the beginning of hatred!
Due to their extreme hatred of heretics, the Crusaders showed their bloody side after entering the city. Countless residents were dragged out of their homes by them, and no matter whether they resisted or not, whether they were men, women, or children, they could not stop their determination to drop their butcher's knives.
"We succeeded in recovering Jerusalem and slaughtering the infidels in the city, and I rode through the streets with corpses, and the blood stained the knees of the horses, and the corpses of women and children could be seen everywhere on the roofs and in the gutters......"
This is a letter from a leader of the cross to the Pope, and the words are striking.
They shouted justice in the killing, and they groped for gold in the corpses.
Some 70,000 civilians were killed in the massacre, and the war of reconquest was thus characterized as an unjust war.
In the eyes of others, they are more like robbers than believers, and they are more like lackeys of the devil than God!
This incident sounded the alarm for everyone, and with the history of the slaughter of the city, the voice of resistance was unprecedentedly enthusiastic. The crusaders who lost the hearts and minds of the people made the road to conquest difficult.
Although they had a wide range of followers, they took advantage of the internal and external disputes of the Byzantine Empire to regain their advantage for a time. However, under the resolute resistance of the countries that believed in the religion, this two-hundred-year war finally ended in the defeat of the crusaders.
Since then, the power of the Holy See has gradually declined, moving from the front to the back.
Although there was a frenzy in the middle of the period when pagans were identified as witches and burned at the stake. But with the emancipation of the mind, human beings no longer have superstitious beliefs about gods who do not interfere too much with the world. The idea of "divine authority of kings" in the feudal period was gradually replaced by atheism, and those fanatical believers who were like madmen also faded out of people's sight.
If Di Shan hadn't suddenly mentioned it, Cheng Hai might not have associated today's few taciturn cultists with this crazy term.
It's scary to think about.
"Let's talk about something fun."
Cheng Hai sat down next to Di Shan, and a curtain fell in front of him. The light suddenly dimmed, and the burnt face of the Flame Demon appeared on the screen.
"Today, Chu Lin caught a big fish, a Burning Flame Demon, his name is Louis. The guy stayed to watch the door, and couldn't help but come out for a walk. ”
Cheng Hai picked his chin at the screen, then conjured Coke and popcorn in his hands, and said to the two: "It may be a little long, do you want to have some?" ”
"You have a lot of tricks in this place?" Di Shan couldn't help but wonder.
"Creation, it's not a big deal." Cheng Hai said with a smile.
In this place, he can be regarded as a small half god.
If there are no outsiders to bother.
"First of all, their stronghold, the underground of the North City Mall."
Without much explanation, the picture has come to the elevator door on the third basement floor of the mall, and a black light door opens from the button, and it is from here that Louis comes out.
Although there were scattered pedestrians around, just like when Chu Lin was in the tea restaurant in the afternoon, everyone turned a blind eye to his appearance.
"This portal was set up by the Dreadlord, and Louis only opened it by command. I'm not sure if I can open him with the same command, what do you guys think? Cheng Hai looked at the two.
They won't be acting again tonight, and if those demons don't show off their brains, when Louis's disappearance is discovered by them, this broken order probably won't do anything.
Not to mention, this teleportation array doesn't necessarily welcome humans.
"I'll come, the Light will find their place." Deshan said.
"I know a little bit about it, too." Chu Lin also spoke.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Teleportation is the shortcoming of the male witch, and it is also Cheng Hai's blind spot. If they couldn't help it, Di Shan wouldn't have to think about the Holy Blood.
"The next thing is about the Holy Blood."
Cheng Hai switched the screen and said at the same time: "The progress of contaminating the holy blood was completed by two-thirds last night. Since the divine power attached to it has been almost consumed, the speed will only get faster and faster. If you want to take it back, I'm afraid we'll have to do it sooner. ”
