Chapter 455: The Witch Hunt

"He is a nobleman, and he is protected by the demigod family. At the same time, because he has the blood of the light elemental lord, he is favored by the Sun Temple, which is well known. His wealth is far beyond your imagination, and countless noble families have won the favor of the Sun Temple. Thanks to his favor, as long as he does not openly oppose the nobles, no nobles will touch him." Gerner said.

"He killed nobles," Su ye said.

"Nobles can kill nobles." Eugene said slowly.

Su ye was silent.

"For the nobles of Athens, the shock of you killing Luo Long is no less than the shock of Socrates killing God." Geerner stared into Su Ye's eyes.

Su ye didn't speak, and fell into deep thought.

"Suye, 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 magic villa in the Giant Hill. I have also met his uncle, the famous irascible legendary Ajax. Ajax is a very honest warrior. We We met at a banquet once. At that time, a friend of Ajax asked him what was the saddest thing for him. Ajax shed tears after drinking too much."

Gerner was silent.

Su ye was very surprised. He didn't expect Ajax to cry in public.

Ajax is one of the strongest legends in the world. Although his strategic ability is extremely poor and he doesn't know the art of war, his personal strength is still higher than that of Miltiades and Themis.

Hercules claims to be number one under God, and Ajax claims to be number two under God.

In Greece, there were only two people who really defeated Ajax head-on.

One is Hercules and the other is Achilles.

However, Ajax was convinced by Hercules, but he never thought that he lost to Achilles, but believed that he lost to Achilles' Styx god.

Ajax fought crazily, crazier than the Nordic berserkers.

Hercules even praised Ajax's "brave crown of Greece", and no one objected.

It's unbelievable that such a madman shed tears during the reception.

Eugene said slowly: "Uncle Ajax said,

The saddest thing in his life was not being able to save his good 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. The youngest student of Socrates, a magic genius, created history when he was in his twenties. But he disappeared shortly after he was promoted to the sanctuary. , was actually killed by the Witch Hunt." Eugene's voice was quite deep.

Su ye was stunned.

Herodotus is the father of history in ancient Greece. Although there are many absurd deeds in his "History", which are not rigorous enough in the eyes of later generations, at that time, it was already considered a history book.

No wonder after coming to Greece, I only saw this name in various history books, and 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 only established history and has not actually compiled "History".

In other words, the discipline of history would be fragmented without him, and it would take many years to perfect it.

No wonder the history textbooks of the Plato Academy are so chaotic and disorderly, it is like a hodgepodge, and it turns out that it lacks the sorting out of the father of history.

Su ye couldn't believe that such a great sage in ancient Greece died like this.

Herodotus, among the ancient Greek celebrities, can definitely be ranked in the top ten, and can even enter the top five.

A great sage who could have opened up brilliance for mankind, made great contributions to mankind, and established immortal achievements for mankind, just died like this.

"How dare the witch hunters kill Herodotus! Didn't the magic world fight back?" Suye asked.

Eugene and Gerner were silent.

After a while, Eugene said: "About the Witch Hunt, you should ask the teachers of your college. Because... in Greece, every member of the demigod family and the hero family is a member of the Witch Hunt. "

Su ye froze for a moment, his whole body was cold.

Faintly aware of a possibility.

The three never spoke again.

Until the carriage arrived at Plato's branch.

Su ye returned to his residence in a daze. He didn't go to the training ground and didn't look at his god-given talent.

After a long time, there was a knock on the door, and a tall middle-aged man with red hair pushed the door and entered.

"Suye, you..." The smile on Ned En's face suddenly froze.

He approached suspiciously and looked at Su ye under the moonlight.

Su ye sat under the light white porch, staring blankly at the sky.

"Teacher, can you tell me about the Witch Hunt?" Suye asked.

Ned En's complexion changed drastically.

"Where did you hear about the Witch Hunt? Did Gerner or Eugene tell you?"

"What kind of organization is the Witch Hunt?" Suye asked.

Ned En thought for a moment, then turned and closed the courtyard door, sat on the chair beside Su ye, took out a wine set, mixed water in the wine jug, and poured two glasses of wine.

Ned En took a sip and put it down.

"This matter starts with Egypt. In ancient Egypt, only the gods and their people had great power, not mortals. Later, some Egyptians developed witchcraft, a power that does not rely on gods. One At the beginning, everyone only regarded witchcraft as a knack for obscenity, just a small trick, no different from those entertainers."

"However, with the continuous development of witchcraft and its growing power, the Egyptian royal family began to be vigilant. The reason is simple. Once the common people gain power, it will inevitably pose a threat to their kingship. Therefore, the Egyptian royal family announced the prohibition of witchcraft and persecuted all wizards However, we know that Aristotle said that truth and progress are always accompanied by justice and represent the highest good of mankind”

"Witchcraft suffered a devastating blow at the beginning. From the light to the dark, some wizards continued to stay in Egypt, and a small number began to spread to other countries, Greece, Northern Europe, Persia, and other regions. After a period of time, witchcraft The power grew stronger, and the number of wizards increased."

"The royal family of Egypt was even more panicked, so they established an organization, the 'Witch Hunt'. The royal family of Egypt, who possessed divine power, used all means to attack and hunt wizards. Not only that, they also secretly contacted nobles from other countries to jointly eradicate Wizards. However, other countries have no hatred for wizards, and the power of witchcraft in other countries is very small, and no one cares about the royal family of Egypt."

"As I said before, truth and progress are always accompanied by justice and represent the ultimate good of mankind. No matter how powerful the Egyptian royal family is, they cannot eliminate witchcraft. In the end, they had no choice but to give up confrontation and recruit peace. Everyone thought that the Egyptian royal family was in pain. Change the past and choose progress and kindness."

"But after a long time, the Egyptians discovered that some of their witchcraft geniuses would always die for various reasons. After investigation, it was found that the Egyptian royal family's witchhunting society has always existed, but it has changed from bright to dark, killing all witchcraft geniuses. Eliminate all hidden dangers that endanger the royal family of Egypt."

"Discovering this, the wise great wizards did not retaliate, but deeply analyzed the role of witchcraft, and used rigorous evidence to show that if Egypt wants to survive forever, it must vigorously develop witchcraft. If Egypt gives up witchcraft, there will always be One day it will be destroyed by other countries. Witchcraft does not exist, and the royal family cannot survive alone."

"You don't need me to tell you that the Egyptian royal family is short-sighted. They only have fear and defense in their eyes. They just want to stick to it. They think they are always right. They can't see the future and progress, and they can't predict changes. Therefore, the Egyptian royal family accepts it on the surface, but secretly The witch hunt is still going on.”

"In the end, a large number of great wizards left Egypt, went to Greece, went to Rome, went to Persia, and went to Northern Europe. The earliest 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 various disadvantages. To put it bluntly, witchcraft is essentially "experiential power". Without a solid theory, it cannot become a sound system. It can be said that witchcraft is just the power The ability of luck. Until a young philosopher began to learn witchcraft, and re-deconstructed witchcraft with a philosophical eye, and finally, based on witchcraft, created magic. That man, the father of philosophy, is also the father of magic, Thales .”

Ned En smiled slightly, and said: "Those outsiders in philosophy and magic only think that Thales' greatest role is to say 'water is the source of all things', that he created philosophy and magic by luck, and that his contribution is meditation , but you should know why Thales became the father of philosophy and magic, even surpassing the great Socrates and Plato in terms of status."

"Proof." Su ye said a very simple word.

The teacher and the student looked at each other and smiled.

Afterwards, Ned En's complexion darkened.

"Thales established the basic magic system and unveiled the veil of the essence of the world with 'proof'. A large number of philosophers and magicians participated in it, making philosophy and magic stronger and stronger. Magic, centered on Miletus, is like the grassland Not only spread 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. Those barbarians...every time we talk about them, we can't laugh or cry. Say they are smart, they are completely unguarded against magic, take Come and use it. Call them stupid, but they are not stupid at all. It is completely shameless to send people to study Greek magicians. They study like crazy, and they don’t reject them at all. Some Nordic people even claim that their spiritual ancestors are Greece. , greatly promoting the popularity of magic in Northern Europe."

Su Ye nodded and said, "I've heard about this. Odin, the king of the Nordic gods, also studied magic himself, and supported the promotion of magic, believing that the power of magic can help the Nordics fight against Ragnarok."

Ned En nodded slightly, his fake eyes shone with wisdom.

"You have also thought of what happened later, because the magic was too powerful, and the nobles were afraid. Greece, Rome, and Persia began to learn from Egypt, established secret witch-hunting societies, and kept hunting magical geniuses. There were no witch-hunting societies in Northern Europe at the beginning. However, a small number of people are too stupid and influenced by other nobles, they also established the Witch Hunt Society. However, the major forces in Northern Europe are suppressing the Witch Hunt Society, unlike other countries, which support the Witch Hunt Society."

"So, Master Herodotus was indeed killed by the Witch Hunt?" Su ye asked in a deep voice.

Ned En's body shook violently, his eyes turned red, he took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
