Chapter 330
Hugo told me about the origin of the two wizards, which scared me and Sun Fatzi. In the Middle Ages, the Church of Europe targeted witches and witches who hid among the people. A large-scale culling was carried out, and in the final analysis, it originated in these two people.
Elisabeth Gage herself was a countess of fourteenth-century Hungary, known throughout the Hungarian upper class for her appearance in her twenties at the age of over fifty. At that time, there were countless celebrities who fell under the pomegranate skirt of this countess.
However, the rule of Countess Elizabeth was not peaceful, and there were often cases of disappearances of young girls in her territory. For decades, the countess exhausted this method, but did not find the culprit of the girl's disappearance, and the girl's disappearance case showed signs of getting worse, and even spread to other nobles' territories.
Most of the girls disappeared inexplicably in their sleep in their own homes, and the strange disappearances and the countess's face were like immortality. Slowly, people began to connect the two. Suddenly, the rumors about the disappearance of the countess and the maiden finally aroused the minds of several other nobles in the vicinity, as well as the local church.
Originally, the disappearance of the peasant girl could not attract the attention of the surrounding nobles, but the territory of this countess was too rich, and the surrounding nobles coveted it for more than a day or two, and what they lacked was an excuse. Finally, one day, several surrounding nobles and local bishops took advantage of the surprise and stormed the castle of the countess.
The soldiers and knights who stormed the castle found a jaw-dropping scene in the basement of the castle, where a dozen young girls who had disappeared not long ago were imprisoned. In another room, the corpses of a dozen teenage girls were chopped into several pieces. The corpses were scattered all over the place, probably not long ago, after they were put to death. I drained the blood before I threw it here.
At this moment, the mystery of the missing girl is solved. The countess was eventually found in her bedroom, and she had no intention of escaping, as the countess was bathing when the soldiers entered. It seems that no matter what happens, it is not as important as her bath. This would have been an extremely beautiful scene. But in the eyes of the soldiers, there was nothing but horror. I saw the countess lying in the bathtub, which was full of blood that had just been released. The countess's body was soaked in blood, and she looked up at the soldiers who rushed in, and the scene had a visceral horror.
In the end, under the leadership of the Knights of the Church, the countess was dragged out of the bathtub and finally imprisoned in the exclusive prison of the Church. Afterwards. More than six hundred bodies of missing maidens were found around the castle. In this way, it spread to several surrounding territories, and the case of the disappearance of the girl for decades was finally solved.
In the upper classes of Hungary, such a scandal suddenly appeared. After consulting with the Hungarian king and the local patriarch, the countess was sentenced to death without any hesitation. However, considering the health of Countess Elisabeth Gage, the Hungarian king gave her a seemingly civilized way to die, and locked her up in his castle and starved to death.
Then another terrible legend began, and after the countess had been imprisoned for a month, the knights of the church who guarded her wrote to the local bishop to report it. Thirty days passed, but the countess showed no signs of starvation. She drew a strange symbol in her room when she had nothing to do, and although it didn't take long for the guards to erase the symbols, she always continued to draw the same symbol in the same place.
Soon, the local church sent a priest named Thomas Channon to check the symbols drawn by the countess. However, on the same night that the priest entered the castle, a fire broke out in the castle, which was extinguished in the early hours of the next morning. When the list of those burned to death was counted, it was found that the knights and soldiers guarding the castle were all there, but the only ones were missing Countess Elizabeth and the priest named Thomas Channon.
Countess Elisabeth Yin can be justified in committing murder, but that Father Thomas Channon himself is a clergyman, how did he become an accomplice of the countess?
Three days later, in the early hours of the morning, a nobleman who had gone to the local church to pray in the early days noticed a shocking scene inside the church. On the walls of the church are all the clergy of the church, including the archbishop. They were nailed to the wall in the form of Jesus Christ, and when the men were already dead, the local nobleman hurried to report to the local lord.
The local church was served in a way that has rarely happened in the history of European countries. The lord did not dare to hide it, and in the process of investigation, he sent someone to inform the king of the matter. By the time the Hungarian king arrived, the lord's side had already found progress.
Yesterday evening, a man and a woman were seen walking into the church, and then there was a strange noise inside the church. The lord sent for portraits of Countess Elizabeth and Father Thomas. Looking at the two portraits, the eyewitnesses were sure that they were the ones who had entered the church yesterday evening.
The day after the murderer was identified, news suddenly came again. Several nobles who teamed up to attack the Countess's castle in one day, along with their whole family. It turned out to be a clean one. These men, like the dead clergy, were nailed to the outer walls of their castles. According to what nearby farmers saw. Before the accident, a man and a woman appeared around the castle, and after seeing the portraits of the countess and the priest, everyone said in unison: "It's the two of them." ”.!
With a definite goal in mind, the Holy See placed them on the blacklist of evil wizards. In the process of chasing these two people, a bloody wave of culling wizards was set off, and finally it turned into a somewhat absurd tragedy. More than a million people have been burned alive in the name of wizards or witches. But the real culprits continue to go unpunished.
From this point on, Thomas Channon and Elizabeth Gage would reappear in the sight of the church personnel every once in a while. As long as the two of them appeared, there would be a large number of clergy and ordinary people who died tragically. The Holy See had also sent knights to hunt down these two men dozens of times, but each time in vain, and in the end, the priests and knights sent out to hunt down were often hit hard. This cycle has been repeated for hundreds of years.
Before Director Hugo entered the polling bureau, he participated in an operation to round up the two of them. He had already made a move with Yin Lizabeth, but in the end, Thomas suddenly appeared and let the two run away in the chaos. At the time, in the records of the Holy See, this event was listed as the most likely opportunity to eliminate Elizabeth Gage and Thomas Channon. It was also because of that time that Director Hugo was able to recognize these two at a glance,
After Hugo introduced the experience of the two, Simon Chain pouted his teeth, and Hugo said more than he had settled. But it seems that this time you came to us for help, it was really the right place.
After being silent for a while, the senior official Ximen said: "I won't repeat Director Hugo's words, it's the case now." The man and woman in the photo arrived in the capital half a month ago and are now missing. The two of them had already bought their plane tickets to the capital long ago. These two people were also listed as religious suspicious figures in the files of the polling bureau, and they were discovered when they bought air tickets. We have already communicated with the Holy See, and the people from the Holy See are already on their way. But what our big boss means is that our side will also send people to assist the Holy See. ”
Speaking of this, Ximen Chain paused, looked at Sun Fatzi and continued: "Great Sage, what do we mean by the big boss, it is still appropriate for you brothers to go.......
