Chapter 762 Faith in the Spiritual Foundation (Madoka and Licoris are linked together)

“MASTER, what’s going on?”

Out of the town, Ma Xiu was still confused, while Duanmu Huai snorted softly.

 “What? Doesn’t what I just said make sense?”

 “No, I still don’t understand, that’s called sophistry...”

Matthew was speechless.

"Sophistry? Maybe it's sophistry, but at least it's certain that they are not human beings in the ordinary sense, more like dolls."

 “Doll?”

"That's right. If nothing else, you see, they are not afraid when they see me. Are they like ordinary people?"

"ah………"

I have to say that after hearing Duanmu Huai's analysis, Ma Xiu was speechless. Indeed, with Duanmu Huai's face, it would be good if he was not afraid of scaring these villagers to their knees. However, they turned a blind eye to Duanmu Huai.

 “Also, I have figured out the logic of this group of people.”

Duanmu Huai snapped his fingers.

 “Logic?”

“That’s right, do you know why you were targeted?”

"this………"

 “Have you ever heard of witch hunting?”

"ah."

 Hearing this, Ma Xiu suddenly realized.

"Historically, witch hunting first started in Europe, and then spread to the Americas. Of course, there are different opinions as to the reasons for witch hunting. What I can say is that the climate at that time was abnormal, so someone had to take the blame. So the status at that time Lower women are in bad luck. Only these barbarians can do such stupid things."

Speaking of this, Duanmu Huai sneered. His country had experienced natural disasters in its history, but people at that time were not stupid enough to use women as scapegoats. Basically, it is the emperor who is unlucky at this time, because natural disasters indicate that the emperor's moral character is not worthy of the emperor and he is punished by God. In other words, the emperor should go away and change his dynasty.

 In comparison, the barbarians in Europe are very servile and only dare to attack the weak, but do not dare to trouble the church and the king, so they have witch hunting. If you have the ability, can you also start a peasant uprising? In the end, they only dared to tie up a few women to vent their anger. This shows that these white-skinned barbarians have always bullied the weak and feared the strong since ancient times.

"In this case, the defense measures of this town will be very clear. It is obvious that the actions of these villagers are to exclude female magicians. It is the same as when Fiore came before, whether it is you or Fiore , are all magicians, and witches, to put it bluntly, are women who can 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. What do you think? That’s not normal, is it?”

 “Uh... that’s what I said.”

Matthew also had to admit that Duanmu Huai's analysis was reasonable. To be honest, when she and Duanmu Huai were in the same house, everyone would think that Duanmu Huai was the bad guy...

“Huh? But according to what you said, MASTER, they didn’t arrest me in the end?”

"This involves a matter of priority. You should know that there is a saying that heretics are more hateful than heretics... Well, looking at the looks of those villagers, I almost understand it, but specifically let Medea and Let Irisviel explain."

“It is the embodiment of the spiritual foundation of faith.”

At the same time, Medea and Irisviel also appeared out of thin air, released their spiritual form and appeared next to Duanmu Huai.

“This is undoubtedly a magician’s workshop, and it’s still functioning autonomously.”

“It is based on the beliefs of the Middle Ages, and combined with the witch hunting as a mirror image to deepen the faith... Well, I have to say that modern magicians really have a lot of fantastic ideas.”

  “It should be said that I am just thinking wildly.”

Duanmuhuai curled his lips. In the world of Faerun, magic and divine magic are separate. Magic is magic, and divine magic is divine magic. But in this world, magic and divine magic are actually the same. According to Irisviel, although the Holy Temple Church is a religious organization on the surface, its confrontation with the Magic Association is not because of the oracles of the gods it believes in, but because of the competition for the spiritual base as the mysterious benchmark - yes , in this world, the Holy Church holds the greatest mystery based on religious belief.

As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, to put it bluntly, the priests in this world are actually a kind of magician. Instead of being like the world of Faerun, mages are mages and priests are priests.

 The reason is also very simple. After all, there is no real **** in this world, so it is naturally impossible to bestow divine magic on the Holy Church. Therefore, what the Holy Church uses is essentially magic, but it is more soul-based magic.

Even the angels in this world, according to magic theory, are magicians who use names to fix the originally ambiguous magic power to form a solid existence. Rather than coming from Heavenly Mountain like the world of Faerûn, they belong to the dependents of gods. So you see, the same words have different meanings in different worlds and different civilization systems.

If Duanmuhuai summons an angel from Heaven Mountain, I don’t know what the magicians in this world will think of it.

Matthew seemed to still not understand, so Irisviel also explained to her.

"The religious beliefs of the Middle Ages tended to be dualistic, good and evil, angels and demons, black and white, life and death. Their religious beliefs revolved around mutually opposing dualisms. Simple, direct, convenient, without ambiguous boundaries, It is easier to be accepted and adopted by ordinary people.”

“I would say that it was only the ignorant people in the Middle Ages who were uneducated that were deceived by this kind of thing. After all, their walnut-like brains may not be able to understand a more complex world.”

Duanmu Huai mocked unceremoniously from the side.

 “So this town…?”

"There must be a magician recreating faith and battle here. Didn't I say before that the residents of this town are too devout and enthusiastic about their religious beliefs? Then, if you want to show your beliefs, you must have enemies with them. The existence of God. It’s like in order to show the greatness of God, the devil must appear in the legend.”

Irisviel looked at the town below and spoke in a low voice.

“To put it bluntly, it’s just an old-fashioned threat tactic.”

Duanmuhuai snorted softly.

"These idiots like to scare others in this way. The devil is watching you. If you don't believe in gods, you will be dragged into **** by the devil. So you must believe in our Lord. Only by believing in the Lord can you go to heaven. If you don't believe it, you will be the devil. If God really loves the world as said in religious legends, then shouldn't He love everyone unconditionally? This is treated differently. ? Doesn’t this mean that gods are essentially no different from devils?”

"Well………"

If religious believers heard such words, they would definitely be furious, but Duanmuhuai didn't care about such trivial matters.

"So it can be seen that this town serves as the basis for the operation of the workshop. Through the correspondence between the devout religious beliefs and the witch hunting behavior taken to prove the devout beliefs, a magic circle with faith as the spiritual foundation is created cyclically. I'm afraid there is only one purpose..."

“Vortex of Roots, these heretics really won’t stop until they open the door to subspace. I should really consider again whether to kill all the magicians in this world... If I can’t do it now, I’ll have to put it on the agenda in the future.”

Duanmu Huai said that he was really bored here. He had encountered similar things several times this year. According to the Tribunal, they were all caused by heretics trying to open the door to subspace. To be honest, Duanmuhuai has more than once had the idea of ​​​​exterminating the magician family in this world, but unfortunately this is a world in the past, and we still need to rely on these magicians to stabilize the past and connect to the future Chaldea. .

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

"If my guess is correct, even if we don't come here, someone will be hunted by the witch tonight, but outsiders have a higher priority. And the witch is just a heretic in the final analysis - hahaha, a heretic. More hateful than pagans, this sentence really makes sense."

 In the final analysis, religious beliefs need enemies. Crossism needs devils, and Buddhism also needs demons. Only in this way can they establish their image as saviors in front of mortals. The witch is a very good tool. It is impossible to verify how many people died while hunting witches in the Middle Ages, but it is estimated that none of them are true.

As Duanmuhuai said, if the witch is really that powerful, then this group of fools who only know how to wield pitchforks and sticks still dare to go up and cause trouble? If the other party waved his hand, they would be dead.

 So, in the final analysis, this is just a ritual.

 A ritual to prove that God is greater—well, for the Inquisition, they are very familiar with this method.

 Hence this ritual requires the prey of the opposite, pagans, witches, heretics - well, as expected, heretics 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 the artificial intelligence, because it discovered a higher-level threat, it changed its priority and put the witch aside.

“Okay, that’s pretty much it, can we just destroy this place?”

 “I don’t think so.”

Medea shook her head.

"The opponent's workshop is already entangled with the spiritual veins. Forcibly destroying the town will cause irreversible damage to the spiritual veins, and will also affect the large area of ​​​​land here. The best way is to go deep into the core, completely close the workshop, and then Re-open the spiritual veins.”

 “So I still have to take action?”

Duanmu Huai sighed silently.

“Okay, let’s go to the town again tomorrow to check out the situation. I hope this idiot core will be easier to find.”
