"Have you heard of witch hunt?"
Yu Shuo's next line further began to reveal the dark history of the medieval period.
"I know. From the 15th to the 18th centuries, the persecution of so-called witches peaked, and more than 100,000 'witches' were executed."
"In fact, the highest peak of witch hunting was after the incident on the Asmethen in the 16th century. The number of witches executed in Europe began to increase rapidly, especially in the parish area. Thousands of witches were executed in just a few decades. Witches, and most of them are killed with extremely cruel methods."
"That's right. But in fact, most people were framed, and there were very few witches who really needed to be executed. In that era, the only evidence was the defendant's statement. As long as he admitted guilt, he could be classified as a Witches. Then, as long as the sinners are tortured endlessly, they will only be able to admit the crimes they did not commit at all. The original intention of the Holy See to hunt witches is not like this, but later, people because of various Because of this, many innocent women have been turned into witches."
Ye Xiang couldn't help feeling that such a tragic persecution seemed to have happened in the history of his motherland.
"Wait... Then, according to what you mean, the so-called witch actually exists?"
"Yes. In that era, there were indeed so-called witches. However, it was almost impossible to kill a real witch. Even if her body was destroyed, there were countless ways to resurrect her from the dead. It was like a vampire. At that time, the so-called Hunting and killing witches in defense of God, the actual act of massacre is simply horrific. Their so-called execution of witches is full of obscenity and insults to women, so it can be said that those who borrow the name of God are actually nothing like demons. It’s no different. It’s just a pity that my family was exiled by the people of the Holy See at that time, so I couldn’t intervene in all of this.”
"Exiled by the Holy See?"
"At that time, the reason why all means were used to persecute the witch was simply because the Holy See was terrified. Therefore, I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go. The purpose was to completely sever NightLiar's bloodline, categorically They cannot continue to exist in this world. They knew very well at the time that there were more than one witches with their blood, and as long as those witches gave birth to his children, the blood of the devil would continue in this world."
Nittler family!
"What does this have to do with Damimo?" Ye Xiang showed a look of "sudden realization" when he said this: "Could it be that you want to say that Damimo and I are descendants of witches?"
Strasbourg under the night seems to be buried with countless secrets.
And here, I'm afraid it will also be the stage for the real decisive battle between the two camps after several centuries.
That night, when Ye Xiang returned home, he just came to the door and took out the key to open the door, when a voice appeared from behind.
"Hello."
Ye Xiang turned around.
Standing behind him was a blond white man. The young man is well-dressed, well-groomed, and handsome. The first impression he gives people is that he is very good. And he was greeting himself in French just now.
"Hello." Ye Xiang nodded slightly, and also replied in French: "Excuse me, are you..."
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Gerald Matil. Are you Mr. Li's nephew?"
"Yes, I am."
"Your uncle and I were very good friends, and he often mentioned you to me. If you don't mind, it's a bit late... But can I go in and talk to you?"
The man in front of him was not an NPC, but an actor, an actor from the exorcism camp.
"OK."
The curtain of this movie is finally about to open.
After entering the house, Ye wanted to ask him to sit down, then made some coffee and served it.
"Please tell me what's the matter."
"Actually, it's a bit abrupt to visit so late, but I'm worried that visiting in the morning may disturb your work. According to your uncle, you are an interpreter."
"I did come back a bit late."
"Hehe, I'm sorry."
"Then, the thing to say is..."
"Actually... If your uncle was still alive, we would have dug out the time capsule buried more than half a century ago tomorrow."
"A time capsule?"
"Yes. That was in 1944 during World War II. At that time, World War II was drawing to a close. My grandfather, Mr. Li's grandfather and a group of older people decided to join the Allied Forces. It’s not that you will die on the battlefield, so you bury your precious things in a time capsule, bury it underground, make an appointment to open it 70 years later, and recall the past war years. If you die on the battlefield, then the children and grandchildren Come open it."
Speaking of this, his face was a little gloomy: "In the end, they all died for the country when they landed in Normandy. I still remember the last words left by my grandfather, and this year is 2014, that is, 70 years have passed. We decided to dig out the time capsule buried by our ancestors tomorrow, as agreed."
1944…
At that time, Strasbourg was captured by the German army and became German territory. What is the meaning of this time capsule buried in the occupied period
"I thought about it over and over again. Although Mr. Li has passed away, since you are his nephew, you should also come to witness the moment when the time capsule was dug out."
"I see. However, my parents never mentioned this matter to me. I know that my grandfather participated in World War II, but it may be because my mother is a German citizen. My parents are very familiar with the stories about my grandfather and World War II." Don't mention it to me."
"That's it, it's understandable, but today's Germany is completely different from the Third Reich during the Nazi period. It is absolutely impossible for the Nazis to exist on German soil. Today's Strasbourg, the French and the Germans living together, and I myself have quite a few friends in Germany, so I don’t care about that.”
"I see. I'll be there. What time is it tomorrow, then?"
"At 7:30 tomorrow night, the location is just outside Strasbourg, and we will pick you up then."
"How many people will there be?"
"Not many, including you, there are only five people in total. Many descendants of those martyrs are no longer living in Strasbourg. By the way... Excuse me, I haven't asked for your name yet."
"Lee, John Lee."
"Well, it's getting late, and I won't disturb your rest."
"It's all right. Then, I'll see you off, Mr. Mathil."
The actor who played Geraf seemed to be doing quite well, and facing Ye Xiang, the demon hunter, he also acted very naturally, which shows that he must have put some effort into his acting skills. As for what is buried in the time capsule, I am afraid it is also full of mysteries.
Just as he was walking to the door, Geralf said another word.
"By the way, haven't your parents or your uncle mentioned the Felice family to you?"
Phyllis family!
"The Phyllis family?" Ye Xiang was taken aback, showing a thoughtful look: "I seem to have heard it somewhere."
"Really?" Geralf immediately showed an excited expression: "Actually, we have always wanted to contact the Felice family. Back then, the Felice family had a very good relationship with the Li family."
"Can you tell me more about the situation of the Phyllis family?"
"Their ancestors were ennobled nobles, but they were conferred by the German emperor. Later, during the Weimar Republic, Germany abolished the title system, so they were no longer nobles, but the wealth accumulated over a long period of time still made them wealthy. There are many strange rumors about the Phyllis family, and it is difficult to determine whether they are true or not... "
"What kind of rumors?"
"Well... For example, their family is the exorcist family. Such a statement sounds absurd, but my father seems to believe it."
"I still can't remember. But you can't get in touch with them?"
"Well, yes, sorry."
After seeing off Geraph, Ye Xiang stopped translating manuscripts and prepared to wash up and go to bed. Right now, keeping your spirits up is the most important thing.
Deep in the dark woods.
At this moment, Camus fell to the ground in a daze.
She raised her head high.
At this time, the dense fog has dispersed. In the dissipated mist, a mummy that had been sucked dry of blood, hung high on a tree, appeared in front of her.
that mummy...
It was Owen!
