Chapter 7: Fleur: Brother, so you're a pervert!

Rov casually rebuked the Mayflower, just trying to send Gabrielle away, but the little girl was very interested, took his arm, and shouted to listen.

Fleur smiled inwardly, feeling that Rove's lie was about to be exposed, but the young man looked calm and said eloquently:

"The Mayflower was originally a Muggle ship, and in 1620 it set out from Plymouth with a group of persecuted Puritans and established a colony there when it arrived in North America."

After Fleur had translated it, Gabrielle asked, "Where is Plymouth?" ”

Fleur didn't translate the question for her sister, because it was too simple, and she could answer it.

With a hint of "mischief" and "refinement", the girl asked, "Gabrielle asked you what a puritan is?" ”

The Puritans were involved in the history of Muggles, and Fleur, as a lover of the history of magic, looked it up when she learned about the term, and finally found that it was a mess.

She didn't believe that Rove, a pure-blood wizard, would know this.

Rove glanced at Fleur deeply, he obviously heard "Plymouth", how did it get into her mouth and translate it into Puritan?

You know how to translate!

"If you want to understand the Puritans, you have to start with Christianity." The boy did not expose the girl, he coughed his throat, and said slowly:

"At that time, as the Roman Empire split into the Eastern and Western Roman Empires, the two dioceses took different paths, with the Latin tradition gradually Germanizing in the west and Hellenism in the east.

By the eleventh century, it was eventually split into Roman Catholicism and Orthodoxy. ”

There are many reasons for this split, but to put it bluntly, they still compete for the right to speak, and they all want to be each other's fathers, not call each other's fathers.

The result was that after a beating, the two sides excommunicated each other, and then separated completely!

Along the corridor, the trio passed a large floor-standing pendulum clock, with a white dial inlaid with Roman numerals for keeping time, and a long and short hour hand standing out on a white background.

Rove paused for a moment and continued to whisper:

"In the sixteenth century, there was another Reformation within Roman Catholicism."

"The Reformation, which began in Germany, was initiated by Father Martin Luther and quickly spread throughout almost all of Europe."

The trigger for the Catholic Reformation was also simple: a high level of corruption within the Church.

In the doctrine of Christianity, people are born with original sin and need atonement for their sins throughout their lives, and Jesus' crucifixion is equivalent to helping everyone atone for their sins.

Therefore, as long as you believe in Jesus, you can atone for your sins and be saved, and you will be called "righteous" by God at the Last Judgment.

In order to atone for sins, the Book of Atonement was later directly derived.

It first appeared during the First Crucifixion, when Pope Urban II, in order to strengthen the religious beliefs of the Crusaders, announced that all those who joined the army could receive a reduction in punishment and indulgences.

By the sixteenth century, the Toner of Atonement had been misused as an important means of enriching the church.

The Pope wants to build a luxurious church, but what if he has no money? Then sell some indulgence scrolls!

Of course, how can the church say such a vulgar word as "buying and selling", which must be described as "voluntary donation".

For believers, if you want to atone for your sins, then you have krypton, and the more you krypton, the more faith you have, and the more the Lord protects you...... There is quite a sense of déjà vu that my Buddha is not poor.

Even in order to motivate the poor to donate money, the church will ask the local rich people to donate first, and then divide the account by seventy or three.

It can only be said that the lips are all teachings, and the hearts are all business.

"Martin Luther solved this problem by proposing 'justification by faith,' that is, salvation can be achieved if one sincerely believes in God in one's heart." Rove said in a smooth voice:

"Whether the rules of the church are followed, whether the indulgences are purchased, whether expensive religious ceremonies are completed...... It doesn't matter. ”

Although the church was not happy and excommunicated Martin Luther, the ordinary believers were happy, after all, they really had no money...... As a result, Protestantism sprung up and grew in Europe.

Fleur forgot to translate for her sister, but stared at Rove intently, urging, "And then?" ”

Rove glanced at the girl, raised his eyebrows, and said, "And then there is...... The Reformation caused a split in Catholicism and formed Protestantism, which in turn was divided into Lutherans, Calvinists, and Anglicans. ”

"Among them, Anglicanism became the state religion of England, and the Puritans, a branch of Calvinism, also spread in England, but were persecuted by the state religion of Anglicanism."

Fleur let out a long sigh, bowed her head slightly, and thought silently.

Gabrielle looked at her sister anxiously and tugged at her sleeve...... Why don't you translate, what's there?

I called you to be a translator, not to talk to Rove!

After Fleur hurriedly translated it, she looked at the young man again and said strangely: "It's all Protestant, why did the Anglicans destroy the Puritans?" ”

Off's clear blue eyes glowed, and he stared at Fleur and asked, "Is this Gabrielle's problem?" ”

“……”

Fleur looked a little embarrassed for a moment, she hid her weakness with a smile, walked a few steps, and then turned to Rove and said, "It's really Gabrielle who asked." ”

Rove glanced out the window, shrugged and said:

"The Puritans in England demanded further purging of the Anglican Church, the remnants of the Roman Church of Church.

If Anglican is the Roman Catholic reformer, then the Puritans are the Anglican reformer, that is, the reformer of the reformers.

Such a sect, of course, would be rejected by the slightly more conservative state religion. ”

When I was a reformer, of course I hated conservatives, and accused them of being unprogressive and stubborn, but when I became the state religion, I began to resist the new reformers.

"I see!" Fleur couldn't help but admire, and silently added an impression point to the boy in her heart.

Walking up the black, lacquered wood staircase, the three of them walked towards the dining room downstairs, and at the corner of the staircase, there was a marble statue, a tooth-white statue of a Greek goddess, more than a person tall.

Rove glanced at the statue of the goddess and continued: "Actually, the persecution of the Puritans also has a lot to do with the wizards. ”

"What's the relationship?" Fleur couldn't help but ask.

Seeing Rove looking at herself again, she blushed and said simply, "This is my problem." ”

"With the advent of the Reformation, the persecution of shamans...... The persecution of witches, in particular, reached a peak. Rove asked:

"You've learned this in the history of magic, haven't you?"

Fleur felt like a student in the face of this boy who was two years younger than herself, which made the girl a little unhappy, but she still nodded and said:

"Learned."

"Both Catholics and Protestants persecuted witches, but the Puritans were particularly persecuted." Rove said softly:

"At that time, there was no Ministry of Magic, it was called the Magic Council...... The sorcerer of the Parliament, King James I of the United Nations, in turn, persecuted the Puritans. Eventually, the Puritans were forced to come to North America. ”

"On that Mayflower, there was a witch named Yinso Sayle, who disguised herself as a Muggle boy and secretly boarded the ship."

Rove finally got to the point, and he smiled:

"When Yin Suo Sail came to North America, he settled down and eventually established the founder of Yin Falmorny School of Magic."

"To commemorate this event, the Magical Congress of the United States later bought the Mayflower and converted it into a magical ship to serve as a shipping ship for Europe and North America."

Gabrielle tilted her head and said with a look of adoration, "Wow, Rov, you know so much, my sister doesn't know that!" ”

Fleur pursed her lips and ignored the last sentence when translating.

However, the girl still objectively gave the teenager an evaluation of "proficient in Muggle history" in her heart.

After all, many pure-blood wizards are not even proficient in the history of magic, but I didn't expect Rove to be able to tell the history of Muggles clearly...... It's amazing.

Fleur is also interested in history, and when she finally meets a peer who has the same hobby, she asks curiously, "Rove, are you interested in history?" ”

"It's okay, I actually only know a little bit." Rove said modestly: "I occasionally flip through history books in private. ”

"And what are you interested in?" Fleur asked.

"Magical creatures."

"Huh?"

"I'm actually a beast...... Ahem, therapist. ”

"If you and Gabrielle are sick, you can also come to me for treatment and give you both a discount."

Rov turned his head, looked the half-breed sisters up and down, and chuckled softly:

"Don't believe it, I've helped many students at Hogwarts, and I'm known for my rejuvenation."

“……”

Fleur looked at the blonde boy with beautiful and clean eyebrows, with a complicated mood, and silently deducted ten impression points from the boy.

I didn't expect to be a pervert...... Take advantage of girls in the name of healing!
