Chapter 52 Clues to Aegis(1/2)

Facing Fang Linyan's threat from Hong Guoguo, the muscles on Qiluo's face twitched violently for a few times, and then he could only grit his teeth and say:

"The conflict between magic and theology has actually been deep-rooted and irreconcilable for a long time! The Holy See in the Middle Ages set off a three-hundred-year-long era of witch hunting, started by Pope Nathan III of England and executed by the religious inquisitor Clamar.

.”

"During this dark moment, more than 700,000 people died under the fire. Most of these 700,000 victims were people who had awakened their magical talents."

"In this tragic war, the turning point came on September 13, 1687. On that day, an astrologer observed a jaw-dropping astronomical phenomenon. The nine planets of the solar system were aligned in a straight line---

---Nine stars in a row!"

"Since that day, the shackles on magicians have been loosened! Before that, magicians, no matter how talented they were, only mastered some things that can only be called deception and tricks."

"It was okay to deal with two or three ordinary people, but under the suppression of the Church's Templar Knights and the Inquisition, they were completely crushed! However, since that day, many magicians were surprised to find that they could learn

, cast higher-level, more powerful magic, and finally gained the power to protect myself!"

"Of course, it's not just magicians who have loosened their shackles, but also various creatures, which have begun to mutate one by one. Lizards have begun to mutate into dragons, and some ordinary people's invisible genes have begun to awaken and turn into werewolves."

"At the same time, sub-planes attached to the main plane began to appear. The spiritual energy in the sub-planes became more abundant, and they were naturally occupied by those mutated magical creatures. Hogwarts was also built in such a sub-plane.

, these sub-planes are also called secret realms and are forbidden areas for Muggles."

"The emergence of such a great figure as Nicoléme forced the church to take a defensive position. Then as its power waxed and waned, two hundred years ago the gods began to gather the final strength to counterattack. That day was called

God’s Twilight.”

"Of course, after that battle, the gods fell one after another, and finally died completely. And fifty years ago, the Ministry of Magic organized a secret operation to kill the last sleeping god. That day was called the End.

day."

Hearing this, Fang Linyan kicked him again, and then sneered:

"You talked about a lot of things that everyone knows, and you just brushed off things that are not public. Do you think I am a fool?"

This time, after Fang Linyan beat Chilo violently, he pinched his left index finger and broke it with a click:

"It doesn't matter, you can grind it slowly with me. If all ten fingers are broken, don't there still be ten toes?"

Fang Linyan used this series of methods, but it was not just cruel and wanted to kill the opponent, but because Qiluo would also gradually recover his MP value over time.

Therefore, on the surface, he was beating Quirrell severely, but in fact, he was taking this opportunity to continue to consume the MP points in his body! In case he could really accumulate MP points and take advantage of the situation to counterattack.

As for Fang Linyan questioning him about evading the important and trivial, in fact Lin Yan had never heard of anything Quirrell told about the East and the West. The so-called brushstrokes and the like were all nonsense he used to deceive the other party!

All in all, there was nothing wrong with Fang Linyan's questioning, and Quirrell couldn't find anything wrong. In other words, even if he could find something wrong, he didn't dare to talk nonsense.

After enduring hardships in front of Fang Linyan, it was probably the first time for Quirrell to meet such a cruel and thoughtful person. What's more terrible is that his life is still in the hands of others.

At this time, Quirrell also broke the jar and shouted hysterically:

"I won't let you succeed! Bastard, you will kill me directly after asking for what you want. You will never get what you want from my mouth."

Fang Linyan said calmly:

"Don't worry, I won't kill you. Besides, if you don't cooperate, you will die now. If you cooperate with me, you may at least not have to die. It depends on your choice."

After hearing Fang Linyan's words, the muscles on Quilo's face kept twitching.

So after he was kicked a few more times, and under Fang Linyan's questioning intentionally or unintentionally, Quirrell finally asked Fang Linyan what he wanted to know.

It turned out that five or six years ago when Quirrell was traveling around the world, he came to the island of Madagascar. His original intention was to go to the secret place here to find a creature called the Bird of Paradise, but he did not expect to be invited by someone from the Ministry of Magic.

, to carry out a campaign to eradicate cults.

It turns out that people from the Ministry of Magic found clues, saying that some residents here started to hold parties in the name of night, and then held related religious ceremonies. At this time, the hatred between magic and religion had already accumulated hundreds of people.

Thousands of human lives have long been at stake.

Therefore, Quirrell directly participated in it. Needless to say, the process was nothing more than killing and torture.

After he helped, he wanted to go about his own business, but he didn't expect that one of the cultists actually escaped at that time! Quirrell then chased after him. After all, not everyone is willing to die, so this cultist still confided in him.

A lot of things.

Quirrell had to know that the root of the rise of their religion this time was that an olive tree next to the town suddenly appeared holy! After it rains, a rainbow will appear on the olive tree, and anyone who comes to pray devoutly under the tree will

Get divine grace.

Of course, the olive tree had long been cut down and burned.

However, the guy named Chagula whom Quirrell captured was a confidant of the pope of the Goddess Religion who had arisen temporarily, so he knew a huge secret.

It turns out that there is an underground cave just below the olive tree. There is a secret church in the cave. The olive tree can appear because its root system has spread to the vicinity of the icon in the cave.

This pope named Bagola was originally a shepherd, but he accidentally entered a cave in the mountains in search of a lost female goat.

This cave is deep and winding, with many forks. After Bagola got lost in it, he accidentally found an underground river. Finally, he encountered the manifestation of the gods, so he built a secret church here, which is also Bagola's.

The holy place inside the mouth.

After hearing about this, Quirrell forced the poor Chagula to take him to the heart of the mountain. Of course, Quirrell found the secret church and destroyed everything there, and there he saw

A statue of a god.

This statue is strikingly similar to the vision of Athena that emerged behind Fang Linyan!

This is also the reason why Quirrell was able to tell his natal god Elgon.

Not only that, Chagula also told Chilo that there was originally a large shield on the statue of the god, but for some reason it disappeared when he went there that day.

After hearing this, Fang Linyan could almost conclude that this large shield should be the Aegis Aikois he was looking for!

When the story came to this point, Quirrell said dejectedly:

"I really didn't mean to hide anything, but I'm afraid that after telling this experience, you will teach me a lesson. After all, you are a favored one by God."

Fang Linyan just made a gesture with an expressionless face, indicating to Quirrell to continue speaking.

After destroying the secret church, Quirrell was a cautious man. He was also afraid of suffering the revenge of fanatic believers, so he then asked many senior magicians, but the answers they all got were the same, that is

All the gods have been completely destroyed.

The answers to this question include astrologers, prophets, Dumbledore and many other powerful people in the magic world.

One person may get it wrong, but it is unlikely that many big guys will get it wrong at the same time.

As for the phenomenon of religious resurgence that still occurs, it is the aftermath of the death of gods.

Youdao is that centipede insects are dead but not stiff. After all, gods are a special kind of life form that can exist for thousands of years. Even humans, after suffering from some irreversible chronic diseases, the process of death can take several years.

year.

What Quirrell still remembers vividly is Dumbledore's answer to him at that time. The two of them were chatting about this topic in the forest, and then Dumbledore's eyes rested on a large tree stump nearby.

"Quirrell, do you think this tree is dead?"

After this large tree stump was cut down, its diameter even reached 1.5 meters, so you can still vaguely imagine its lush style standing in the forest.

Quirrell said simply:

"There is no doubt, Headmaster, that it is completely finished."

Dumbledore nodded approvingly, and then led Quirrell to the front of it. You can see that there are some new shoots growing near the stump:

"Yes, child, it is indeed dead, but its tenacious vitality will still try to make some resistance. These buds are the last manifestation of its stubbornness."

Quirrell was a little confused. He didn't know why Dumbledore wanted to talk about this topic. Fortunately, Dumbledore's next words made Quirrell suddenly realize:

"These buds growing around the tree stump are similar to some religious activities that will still occur after the death of the gods."

"According to our research, after the death of the gods, some of the artifacts they refined can still remain active, and some of the gods' stubborn obsessions can still continue to manifest themselves in the world, but these are trees without roots and origins.

The water is like a soap bubble, something that bursts as soon as you poke it."

"As long as we insist on extinguishing these abnormalities, you will find that these abnormal phenomena will become less and less, and eventually they will be completely annihilated."

***

After hearing these narrations from Quirrell, Fang Linyan also suddenly realized that he was basically sure that under his own pressure, what Quirrell had said before had very little water content.

Not only that, Chilo deliberately concealed the location where he discovered the underground cave, which shows that he also judged Fang Linyan's purpose and therefore deliberately kept this thing in his hand, using it as a life-saving charm.

But what he didn't know was that Fang Linyan only needed to know that the place was on the island of Madagascar!

The two keywords Quirrell mentioned: bird of paradise and olive tree, can ensure that the location of Madagascar is correct and not just random talk.

Because magical creatures like the Bird of Paradise can only be found in two secret places on the earth. One secret place is in Greenland, and the other is in Madagascar. And olive trees, a common plant in the tropics, cannot appear in the ice and snow.

of Greenland.

Of course, if Quirrell, who had been beaten continuously, could still think quickly and come up with enough information to deceive him, then Fang Linyan would also admit it!

After sighing, Fang Linyan looked very melancholy and turned his head to look at the sky in the distance, as if he was extremely angry after hearing the relevant news.

At this time, Quirrell's resentful eyes also fell on his face, and the guy gritted his teeth in his heart and said:

"You damn idiot, as soon as I get free, I will report you, the remnant of the gods, to the Ministry of Magic! I will personally send you to Azkaban so that you can taste the Dementor's Kiss.

smell!"

At this time, the sound of engines suddenly came from the distance, and several cars could be seen driving over, and then Elizabeth and Buckinson jumped out of the cars.

After seeing Buckinson, Quirrell's pupils suddenly shrank, and after screaming wildly, blazing black flames suddenly appeared on his body, and then he aimed at Fang Linyan and pounced on him!
