Chapter 125: The Cross

After one of the events of the tournament, there was no calm in the school and the wizarding world in Europe, about the details of the tournament, about the behind-the-scenes of the warriors, or about the introduction of several schools. Various newspapers have reported in an endless stream that this European Cup has maintained a very high level of popularity. In terms of the wizarding world's meagre entertainment, this is the hottest and hottest event of the year since the Quidditch World Cup. Even some of the mainstream newspapers in the American wizarding community have reprinted the news about it.

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was even more lively, and even though it was December, the wind and snow surrounded the castle, but the enthusiasm among the students was not diminished in the slightest.

Unlike the usual Hogwarts, there are two other sights to decorate this year. When the big ship of Durmstrand stopped on the lake, and the carriage that stopped at the edge of the castle, and from time to time flew over the forbidden forest, the Ukrainian iron belly. They are all reminding students to maintain a good demeanor and that everything they do is in the eyes of their competitors.

Li Lin's reading club is still held as usual, and the raven is also developing rapidly. Professor Snape, who is often not bubbling, also took a rare time to find Li Lin again, he felt that cloning was not safe, because the guinea pig he cloned, even if he was escorted by magic, would inevitably have various diseases. Snape didn't want his Lily to be in a hospital bed since she was born.

In this regard, Li Lin had no choice but to give advice. That is the church, harnessing the power of the church.

After all, although there are wizards in this world, there is also the famous Cross Church. Historically, the Church of the Cross has also launched a hunt for wizards, who have taught a fire avoidance charm, making burning at the stake like bathing in a hot spring for them.

But the wizards still have Christmas. From this, it can be seen that the power of the church is not only important in the world, but also has a certain influence in the magical world. After all, from a magical point of view. If Jesus could do it, so could Dumbledore. The Church has better healing powers than the Wizarding Hospital, and has more, more than that, just like the relics left behind by the four founders of Hogwarts, items with magical effects.

Like the pope's triple crown, like the Holy Cross. There are some things in it that have a healing effect, and even exaggeratedly, they are uninterrupted self-healing.

To have these things is actually challenging Li Lin's cognition. After all, doctrinal speaking, the church and wizards are naturally opposed. However, the two sides remained peaceful. For example, in the witch hunt operation, it was the civilians who were really killed, and more women.

She was framed because she was beautiful, she was framed for refusing courtship, she was framed because she wanted to be enlightened, because a dog died in front of her house, because someone died in the village when she came back from going out, and for all kinds of reasons, one life after another was burned at the stake. It ended up lasting nearly 300 years, burning hundreds of thousands of people at the stake, and even Joan of Arc did not escape the catastrophe.

It was not until the 18th century, starting in England, that the law punishing witches was abolished, because more and more elites, and even nobles, were accused of witches, a clause that had hurt the safety of the elite and the aristocracy, so they raised objections and curbed the power of the church.

Since then, the church and the wizards have been at peace. And before that, why did wizards and churches go to war? There is no clear record of why each other finally turned to restraint.

However, although much of the modern history of magic has been destroyed, Li Lin still peeked through the fog to see some outlines of historical truth from some ancient scrolls in Russia.

The cross arose with the prophet Moses. It's hard to say whether this Moses is a prophet or a wizard, after all, ancient wizards are different from modern ones, their strength and mystery are far from being comparable to modern wizards, but the older the more powerful, which is also the capital of the ancient pure-blood wizards Their pride, their power comes from blood, from the ancient. It's just that until now, no one has verified where the bloodline of pure-blood wizards comes from.

Moses, the prophet of Egypt, led his people to flee Egypt, and in order to escape from the Egyptian pharaohs, they parted the Red Sea, came an Exodus, and sent ten plagues against Egypt. This event is not only a sacred description in the Bible. It is also the most important in the history of magic in the wizarding world.

To this day, there are numerous teams of wizards, either at their own expense or with the support of the elves of the Gullingers, who carry out archaeological excavations near the pyramids in Egypt.

Many of the evil spells on the pyramid are still valid today. From time to time, it will cause difficulties in the excavation process. This shows how developed the magic of ancient Egypt was, and it also highlights the power of the prophet Moses to a certain extent, which is the great power that can compete with Egypt head-on and a country.

So what did such a powerful prophet want to gain? Li Lin had no way of knowing, maybe it would be the power of faith, but Li Lin had never found such magic, and if such magic existed, then the first Dark Lord Grindelwald would never have the idea of killing all Muggles. He will surely use the power of faith to go to the altar.

So what the prophet wanted to do, Li Lin didn't know the specifics, but the prophet and mankind agreed on the Ten Commandments, the first of which is not to worship idols. The Ten Commandments are sealed in the Ark of the Covenant, and the Ark of the Covenant has disappeared in the real world.

When the time came to Jesus, his mother conceived out of wedlock and gave birth to the son of Yahweh, who led his followers in violating the first commandment not to worship idols.

They worshipped the cross, and they worshipped Jesus, and they worshipped Yahweh.

So whatever the prophet Moses wanted to do, Jesus was like a backdoor listing, and after doing some manipulation, he held what Moses wanted in his hands.

Maybe it's because the essence of Jesus, as Li Lin thought, was a sorcerer, so it was for the sake of covering up the truth or for the sake of power. Eventually, the church came to a confrontation with the wizards. In the end, the wizards and the church were not hurt, but the Muggles were implicated and hurt.

By now, the Church is mystically declining compared to modern wizards who have been systematically trained by schools of witchcraft and wizardry, but they are closely connected to reality and Muggles.

It was for this reason that Li Lin suggested that Snape set his sights on the church, which had what he needed, and that Puritanism in England was far less dangerous than Voldemort's.
