"MASTER, WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?"

Walking out of the town, Matthew was still confused, while Duanmu Huai snorted softly.

"What? Doesn't what I just said make sense? ”

"No, I still don't understand, it's called sophistry........."

Matthew was speechless.

"Sophistry? Maybe it's sophistry, but at least it's certain that none of them are humans in the ordinary sense of the word, more like dolls. ”

"Dolls?"

"That's right, don't say anything else, you see that they don't have any fear when they see me, is this like an ordinary person?"

"Ah..................h

I have to say that hearing Duanmu Huai's analysis, Matthew was speechless, indeed, with Duanmu Huai's face, it was not bad not to be afraid of this group of mountain and wild villagers, but they almost ignored Duanmu Huai.

"And I've figured out the logic of this group of people."

Duanmu Huai snapped his fingers.

"Logic?"

"Yes, do you know why you're being targeted?"

"This ..............."

"I've heard of witch hunting."

"Ahh

Hearing this, Matthew suddenly realized.

"Historically, witch hunting was first in Europe, and then spread to the Americas, of course, as for the reason for witch hunting, there are different opinions, if you want me to say, in the final analysis, the climate was abnormal at that time, so you have to find someone to take the blame, so the woman with a relatively low status at that time was unlucky. It's just this group of barbarians who would do such stupid things. ”

Speaking of this, Duanmu Huai scoffed, his country has not experienced natural disasters in its history, but people at that time would not be stupid enough to use women as scapegoats. Basically, the unlucky ones at this time are the emperors, because natural disasters mean that the emperor is not worthy of the throne and is punished by God, which means that the emperor should get out of the way and change the dynasty.

In contrast, the barbarians in Europe are servile, and they only dare to attack the weak, and do not dare to go to trouble the church and the king, so there is witch hunting. Do you have the ability to also peasant uprising? As a result, they only dared to tie up a few women to vent their anger, which shows that this group of barbarian whiteskins has always bullied the soft and feared the hard since ancient times.

In this way, the town's defenses are clear, and it is clear that the villagers are acting to eliminate female magicians. It's the same compared to when Fiore came before, whether it's you or Fiore, they both belong to magic, and the witch witch, to put it bluntly, is a woman who can do magic. Otherwise, you see the two of us in the house, and those guys only go to you, and don't take me seriously at all, this is not normal, is it? ”

"Uh......... That's right. ”

Matthew also had to admit that Duanmuhuai's analysis made sense, to be honest, she and Duanmuhuai were in the same house, and everyone would generally think that Duanmuhuai was the bad guy when they saw it.........

"Huh? BUT ACCORDING TO YOU, MASTER, THEY DIDN'T ARREST ME IN THE END, DID THEY? ”

This brings us to a matter of priority, and you should know that there is a saying that heretics are more hateful than infidels......... Well, looking at the appearance of those villagers, I almost understand a little, but let Medea and Alice Phil explain the specifics. ”

"It's the embodiment of the spiritual foundation of faith."

At the same time, Medea and Alice Phil also appeared out of thin air, disarming their spiritualization and appearing beside Duanmu Huai.

"This is undoubtedly a magician's workshop, and it's still running autonomously."

"It is based on the belief of the Middle Ages, and then combined with the witch hunt as a mirror contrast, to deepen the heart of faith......... Well, I have to say, modern magicians really have a lot of ideas. ”

"It's just cranky."

Duanmu Huai pouted, in Faerun's world, magic and magic are separated, magic is magic, and magic is magic. But in this world, magic and magic are actually the same. According to Alice Fair, although the Templar Church is ostensibly a religious organization, its confrontation with the Magic Society is not because of the oracle of the gods it believes in, but because of the competition for the spiritual base as the basis of the mystery——— yes, in this world, the Templar Church has the greatest mystery with religious belief as the spiritual base.

The so-called one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, to put it bluntly, the priesthood of this world is actually a kind of magician. Instead of being like in the world of Ferron, where a mage is a mage and a priest is a priest.

The reason is also very simple, after all, there are no gods who really exist in this world, and naturally it is impossible to give the Templar Church divine magic. Therefore, what the Templar Church uses is also magic in essence, but it is a magic that is biased towards the soul system.

Even the angels of this world, according to the theory of magic, are magicians who use names to fix the originally ambiguous magic and form a solid existence. It is not from the Heavenly Mountain like the world of Feron, and belongs to the dependents of the gods.

So you see, the same word, in different worlds, in different civilization systems, has different meanings.

If Duanmu Huai summons an angel from Heavenly Mountain, I don't know what the magicians of this world will think of it.

Matthew still doesn't seem to understand, so Alice Phil explains it to her.

"The religion of the Middle Ages was biased towards dualism, good and evil, angels and demons, black and white, life and death. Its religious beliefs revolve around opposing dualisms. Simple, direct, convenient, without ambiguous boundaries, it is easier to be accepted and adopted by ordinary people. ”

"If I want to say that it is only the ignorance of these foolish people in the Middle Ages that they will be deceived by this kind of thing, after all, their walnut brains may not be able to understand the more complex world."

Duanmu Huai sneered unceremoniously on the side.

"And ............... town?"

"There is a magician who has recreated faith and battle here, didn't you say before that the inhabitants of this town are too religious and zealous? Then, in order to show one's faith, there must be an enemy of it. It's as if in order to show the greatness of God, there must be a devil in the legend. ”

Alice Fell looked at the town below and whispered.

"To put it bluntly, it's actually an old-fashioned threat trick."

Duanmu Huai snorted softly.

"These idiots like to scare people in this way, the devil is watching you, and if you don't believe in the gods, you will be dragged to hell by the devil. Therefore, you must believe in our Lord, only by believing in the Lord can you go to heaven, and if you don't believe that it is the bait of the devil, you can only go to hell......... It's just a clumsy and lowly method of intimidation. If God really loves the world, as the religious legend says, then shouldn't He love everyone unconditionally? Is this still differentiated? Doesn't this mean that gods are essentially no different from demons? ”

"Uh..............."

If this kind of thing is heard by religious believers, they will definitely be furious, but Duanmu Huai doesn't care about such a trivial matter.

Therefore, the basis for the operation of this town as a workshop can be determined, and through the mutual correspondence of pious religious beliefs and witch hunting behaviors that prove religious beliefs, a circle with faith as the spiritual base is created in a cycle. There is probably only one purpose..............."

"Root Vortex, this group of heretics really won't stop until they open the door of the subspace, I should really think about killing all the magicians in this world again......... Not now, but in the future. ”

Duanmu Huai said that he was really bored here, and that he had encountered similar things several times in the past year, and according to the Inquisition, it was caused by those heretics trying to open the doors of the subspace. To be honest, Duanmu Huai has more than once had the idea of wanting to completely exterminate the magician family in this world, but unfortunately this is the world of the past, and it is also necessary to rely on these magicians to stabilize the past and then connect to the future Chaldea.

Forget it, it's not too late to give an extermination order to this group of magicians after saving the world.

"If I'm guessing correctly, even if we don't come here, someone will be hunted by the witch tonight, but outsiders will have a higher priority. And the witch is just a heretic in the final analysis——— hahaha, heretics are more hateful than heretics, this sentence is really quite reasonable. ”

In the final analysis, religion needs enemies, Crusadism needs demons, and Buddhism needs demons, so that they can establish themselves as saviors in front of mortals. And the witch is a good tool, how many people died in the medieval hunting witch can't be verified, but there is no true estimate in it.

Just like Duanmu Huai said, if the witch is really that powerful, then this group of fools who only know how to wield pitchforks and sticks dare to go up and find trouble? With a wave of their hand, they will die, okay.

So, in the end, it's just a ritual.

A ritual to prove God's greatness———well, for the Inquisition, they couldn't be more familiar with this method.

Therefore, this ritual needs the prey of opposites, heretics, witches, heretics——— well, it is still heretics that have the highest priority.

So after the man was pointed out as a heretic by Duanmu Huai, the flow of the entire town began to change, just like an artificial intelligence, because a higher-level threat was discovered, so it reversed the priority and put the witch aside.

"Okay, that's pretty much it, can we just ruin this place?"

"I don't think so."

Medea shook her head.

"The other party's workshop has become entangled with the spirit vein, and the forced destruction of the town will cause irreversible damage to the spirit vein, and it will also affect a large area of land here. The best thing to do is to go deep into the core, close the workshop completely, and then re-dredge the spiritual veins. ”

"So I have to go out?"

Duanmu Huai sighed silently.

"Okay, tomorrow we'll go to the town again to check on the situation, and hopefully this idiot core will be easier to find."
