The World of Deities
Chapter 455: Witch Hunt
"He is a noble, and he is protected by the demigod family. At the same time, because he has the blood of the light elemental monarch, he is favored by the sun temple, everyone knows. His wealth is far beyond your imagination, and countless noble families get Thanks to his favor, as long as he does not openly oppose the nobles, no noble will move him." Gorner said.
"He killed nobles." Su Ye said.
"Nobles can kill nobles." Eugene said slowly.
Su Ye was silent.
"For the Athenian nobles, the shock of you killing Roron is no less than the shock of Socrates killing God." Gerner stared at Su Ye's eyes.
Su Ye did not speak and fell into deep thought.
"Su Ye, as a nobleman, there are many things I can't say. But I hope you give up the next two days of competition, and the two of us can even accompany you to give up together." Eugene said.
Su Ye remained silent.
Eugene said: "I have a good relationship with Thanos. I am the owner of the magical villa in the Giant Hills. I have also met his uncle, the famous grumpy legend Aas. Aas is a very honest warrior, we I met at a banquet. A friend of Aas asked him what was the most sad thing about him. Aas drank too much, and shed tears."
Gerner was silent.
Su Ye was very surprised, but he didn't expect Aas to cry in public.
Aias is one of the strongest legends in the world. Although his strategic ability is extremely poor and he doesn't understand the art of war, his personal strength is still higher than that of Meteaade and Dimis.
Hercules claims to be the first under God, and Aas claims to be second under God.
In Greece, there are only two people who truly defeated Aas from the front.
One is Hercules and the other is Achilles.
However, Aas was convinced by Hercules, but never thought that he lost to Achilles, and believed that he lost to Achilles' Stygian body.
Ayas fought very crazy, even more crazy than the Nordic Berserkers.
Hercules even praised Aas for "courting Greece" and no one opposed it.
It's incredible that such a madman shed tears at the reception.
Eugene slowly said: "Uncle Aias said that the saddest thing in his life was his failure to save his friend, Herodotus, who was killed by the witch hunt."
"Who?"
a bolt from the blue!
"Herodotus. You should have heard his name at Plato Academy. Socrates's youngest student, magic genius, founded history in his twenties. But shortly after he was promoted to Sanctuary, he disappeared. , Was actually killed by the Witch Hunt." Eugene's voice was rather deep.
Su Ye was stunned.
Herodotus is the father of ancient Greek history. Although there are many absurd deeds in his "History", which may not be rigorous enough for later generations, at that time, it was already regarded as a history book.
No wonder after I came to Greece, I only saw this name in various history books. I rarely heard about his deeds. I didn't expect that he was killed by a witch hunt.
If Herodotus is dead now, it also means that he has just established history and has not really written History.
In other words, the subject of history will be fragmented because of the loss of him, and it will take many years to complete it.
No wonder the history textbooks of the Plato Academy are so chaotic and disorderly.
Su Ye couldn't believe that such a great sage in ancient Greece had died like this.
Herodotus, among the celebrities of ancient Greece, can definitely rank in the top ten, and even enter the top five.
A great sage who could have opened up glory for mankind, made great contributions to mankind, and built immortal achievements for mankind, just died.
"How dare a witch hunter kill Herodotus! Didn't the wizarding world fight back?" Su Ye asked.
Eugene and Gerner were silent.
After a while, Eugene said: "About the witch hunt, you can ask your college teacher. Because...in Greece, every demigod and hero family is a member of the witch hunt. "
Su Ye froze for a moment, his whole body cold.
Faintly aware of a possibility.
The three did not speak again.
Until the carriage arrived at the Plato branch.
Su Ye returned to his residence in despair, did not go to the training ground, and did not look at his god-given talent.
After a long time, there was a knock on the door, and a familiar red-haired tall middle-aged man pushed in.
"Su Ye, you..." The smile on Nidern's face suddenly froze.
He approached suspiciously and looked at Su Ye in the moonlight.
Su Ye sat under the pale white pillars, staring at the sky blankly.
"Teacher, can you tell me about the witch hunting club?" Su Ye asked.
Nidern's face changed drastically.
"Where did you know about the Witch Hunt? Did Gerner or Eugene tell you?"
"What kind of organization is the Witch Hunting Club?" Su Ye asked.
Niedern thought for a moment, turned and closed the courtyard door, sat on the chair next to Su Ye, took out a set of wine utensils, poured water in the jug, and poured two glasses of wine.
Nedern took a sip and put it down.
"This matter should start from Egypt. In ancient Egypt, only gods and their people had powerful powers, and mortals did not. Later, some Egyptians developed witchcraft, a power that does not rely on gods. At the beginning, everyone only regarded witchcraft as a kitsch obscenity, but just a small trick, no different from those artists."
"However, with the continuous development of witchcraft and the growing power, the Egyptian royal family began to be vigilant. The reason is simple. Once the civilians have power, they will inevitably pose a threat to their royal power. Therefore, the Egyptian royal family announced the prohibition of witches and persecuted all wizards . But, we know that Aristotle said that truth and progress always accompany justice and represent the ultimate good of mankind."
"Witchcraft suffered a devastating blow at the beginning. From bright to dark, some wizards continued to stay in Egypt, while a few began to spread to other countries, Greece, Northern Europe, Persia, and other regions. After a period of keeping a low profile, witchcraft The power is stronger, and the number of wizards is increasing."
"The Egyptian royal family was even more panicked, so they established an organization, the'witch hunt.' The Egyptian royal family with supernatural powers used all means to combat and hunt wizards. Not only that, they also secretly contacted the nobles of other countries and joined forces to eradicate them. Wizard. However, other countries and wizards have no hatred, and the power of witchcraft in other countries is very small. No one cares about the Egyptian royal family."
"As mentioned earlier, truth and progress always accompany justice and represent the ultimate goodness of mankind. No matter how powerful the Egyptian royal family is, it cannot eliminate witchcraft. In the end, it has no choice but to abandon the confrontation and recruit peace. Everyone thinks that the Egyptian royal family is in pain. After changing the past, I chose progress and goodness."
"But after a long time, the Egyptians discovered that some of their witchcraft geniuses would always die for various reasons. After investigation, it was discovered that the Egyptian royal family’s witch hunting would always exist, but it turned from light to dark to kill all witchcraft geniuses. Eliminate all hidden dangers that endanger the Egyptian royal family."
"Discovering this, the wise wizards did not retaliate, but deeply analyzed the role of witchcraft. They used rigorous evidence to show that if Egypt wants to survive forever, it must vigorously develop witchcraft. If Egypt abandons witchcraft, there will always be One day it will be destroyed by other countries. Witchcraft does not exist, and the royal family cannot be alone."
"You don't need to say that you also understand that the Egyptian royal family's eyes are short-sighted. They only have fear and defense in their eyes. They just want to stick to it. They think that they are always right. They can't see the future and progress, let alone predict changes. Therefore, the Egyptian royal family accepts it on the surface, but secretly Continue the witch hunt."
"Finally, a large number of great wizards left Egypt, went to Greece, went to Rome, went to Persia, and went to Northern Europe. The first batch of great wizards settled in Miletus, a city on the east coast of the Aegean Sea, and spread witchcraft."
"You also know that witchcraft has all kinds of drawbacks. To say it is ugly, witchcraft is essentially "empirical power". Without a solid theory, it cannot be a sound system. It can be said that witchcraft is just touching The ability of luck. Until a young philosopher begins to learn witchcraft and re-deconstructs witchcraft with a philosophical vision, and finally, based on witchcraft, creates magic. That person is the father of philosophy and the father of magic, Thales ."
Niedern smiled slightly and said: "Those outsiders of philosophy and magic only think that Thales’ greatest role is to say that'water is the source of all things', that he created philosophy and magic by luck, and that his credit is meditation. , But you should know why Thales became the father of philosophy and magic, even surpassing the great Socrates and Plato."
"Proof." Su Ye said a very simple word.
The teacher and the student smiled at each other.
Afterwards, Nidern's face darkened.
"Thylus established a basic magic system to uncover the essence of the world with'proof'. A large number of philosophers and magicians participated in it, making philosophy and magic grow stronger and stronger. Magic, centered on Miletus, is like a prairie The wildfire spread like wildfire. Not only to Persia, not only to Northern Europe, but even back to Egypt, completely rebuilding the Egyptian witchcraft system."
"You should have guessed what happened later. The emergence of magic aroused the fear of all nobles in all countries, except Northern Europe. That bunch of barbarians...every time we talk about them, we can't laugh or cry. Say they are smart, they are completely defenseless against magic. Come over and use it. Say they are stupid, but they are not stupid at all. They specially send people to study and study Greek magicians. That is completely shameless, crazy learning, and not repelling at all. There are even some Nordic people claiming that their spiritual ancestors are Greece , Which greatly promoted the popularization of magic in Northern Europe."
Su Ye nodded and said: "I've heard about this. The Norse king Odin has personally studied magic and supported the promotion of magic. He believes that the power of magic can help the Nordic fight against the dusk of the gods."
Nedern nodded slightly, his fake eyes gleaming with wisdom.
"You also thought of the later things, because magic was too powerful, and the nobles were terrified. Greece, Rome, and Persia began to learn from Egypt, established secret witch hunts, and kept hunting magic geniuses. There was no witch hunt in northern Europe. But a small number of people were too stupid and were influenced by other nobles and also established witch hunts. However, the major forces in Northern Europe are pursuing witch hunts, unlike other countries that support witch hunts."
"So, Master Herodotus was really killed by the Witch Hunter?" Su Ye asked in a deep voice.
Nidern's body was shocked and his eyes were red. He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
