How does the black lotus redeem the male protagonist [Western Fantasy]

Jinjiang starting

Fortune tellers are the most special type of magicians.

Almost all of them are women, with identical black hair and black eyes.In the early days, they were almost relegated to the dark side and called witches.

But Neqin, the leader of fortune tellers, always insisted on calling them fortune tellers, not dark and frightening witches.

The Church of Light listened to their confession, tolerantly and strictly checked this point, proved their identities of the Light, and included them in the system of mages.

"This once again proves God's benevolence and justice!"

Alsain passed by the professor who was giving a lecture on the "History of Bright Theology" course, and he was just listening to the professor's impassioned words.

"Benevolent? Just?" Elsain chewed on these two words with a little playfulness.

Ernest, who was following him, heard this voice clearly.He was a little puzzled, isn't it like this?

He also took a similar course, and the professor who taught them at that time also talked about this history, and the statement was almost the same as this professor.

It is nothing more than that the God of Light and His church will not treat His people with prejudice, but will treat everyone with tolerance and equality.The same is true for witches. The God of Light patiently listened to the complaints of Neqin and other fortune-tellers. He didn't listen to them, but he didn't ignore them either.

Finally, after it was verified that they were not evil people, and that they really believed in the light, they were admitted.

Although Ernest is suspicious of everything because of his own experience, he doesn't believe in the God of Light.But it is true that everyone describes this history in this way.

But looking at Elsain's mocking voice, then...is there something else hidden in this period of history?

Elsain suddenly remembered something, looked down at Ernest, and as expected met a pair of kitten eyes wide open, looking at him curiously.

He smiled: "You also want to hear this history?"

Ernest immediately turned his head away, indicating that he was not interested.

Just kidding, he has figured out Al Sein now.He is obviously a polite gentleman to others, but for some reason he just likes to tease him, which is especially bad.

If he showed curiosity at this time, Elsain would probably whet his appetite again and not tell him what was going on.He is not fooled.

"Since I don't want to hear it, then I won't recall it." Elsain indifferently put his eyes back on the front again, as if he just discovered Ernest's doubts out of good intentions, and wanted to explain his doubts but was rejected. .

Not as much as Ernest thought.

Ernest didn't make a sound, and rushed forward in a daze.A picture of a kitten who has no idea what you're talking about.

Elsain was not disappointed either, and walked forward unhurriedly.

One step, two steps, three steps.

The black, glossy tail rubbed against Al Sein's trousers.

Elsain ignored it and continued striding forward.

Four steps, five steps, six steps.

Can't go.

There was a large black cat hanging on Elsain's trouser leg, and the ghost cat stretched out its paws and pulled it carefully, with a very polite look.You could tell he was trying his best not to snag his clothes.

This is also no way.Ernest really wanted to know what the truth was like.However, during his time in the college, he had read all the books and allusions that ordinary students could read. Even some ancient parchment documents he had identified word by word, and his memory was still quite clear.

But he clearly remembered that all the records about witches were written in this way.

Elsain's performance is obviously saying that these records are not correct, so what is wrong?

No one can refuse a kitten who grabs your trouser leg and looks extraordinarily polite.But Al Sein can.

Alsain originally wanted to tease the ghost cat, but seeing his serious look, he still picked him up and put it on his shoulder.

Ernest was a big cat now, but Elsaine could still hold him firmly on his shoulders, without any effort at all.

Elsain led Ernest to a secluded clock tower that only professors and above had permission to enter.

"Who is it?" The hoarse voice asked after Elsain approached.

"It's me, Al Sein." Al Sein replied.

Ernest hid in the shadow of Elsain, and looked up quietly. The one who spoke was a mouth on the wooden door, or should it be called the doorbell?Still a gatekeeper.

"Hohohoho. It's Her Majesty Elsain." The hoarse voice was extremely respectful, "Good day, I hope you can complete the purpose of this trip."

"Thank you." Elsain walked into the slowly opened wooden door obediently.

There are two worlds inside and outside the wooden door.From the outside, this is just a dilapidated clock tower, but from the inside, it is clearly a huge library.

A sea of ​​books was neatly arranged on the bookshelves, and many creatures with a touch of magic elements familiar to Ernest were carefully putting the mess back into place.

Ernest was stunned.He is aware that many ordinary creatures have a slight magical element.

But these creatures are far less prominent and easier to distinguish than races such as mermaids or elves, which have almost disappeared completely.

They just have a bit of talent for magic elements, but without training, they look no different from ordinary animals.

But what does he see now?

A rabbit who can use wind magic, jump three feet high and put the book on the shelf?There is also a white fox who uses vines to build ladders for his friends.Not to mention the squirrel that uses light magic to dehumidify the books.

It's... really... amazing.

"Crack. Crack."

Seeing Ernest looking back at him, Elsain smiled and waved the "camera" on his hand: "Your jaw was about to drop just now."

[This expression is very suitable for keeping as a souvenir. 】

This voice directly made Ernest blow his hair.

This person is really so bad!

When Ernest went up, he wanted to hit the "camera" on the ground with his paw.Although he couldn't figure out what kind of magic principle that thing was, he just hit it!

As soon as Alseyin withdrew his hand, Ernest was caught in the air. Before he could continue to move, he said, "Here is the answer you want."

He walked quickly to a bookshelf and asked a palm-sized squirrel to help him carry the book.

Alsin's expression was very solemn, and Ernest couldn't help being carried away by him, and followed.Hiding in the ever-present shadows, he saw the book Al Sein was holding.

It is a book about the Popes of all ages.

[You should know that witches have faced witch hunts, right?Do you remember how many years ago it was in the Guangming calendar? 】

Ernest had a good memory, so he flicked his tail ten times.The witch hunts of witches took place in the 10th year of the light calendar, when the whole continent was looking for the dark trail.The crowd was furious, and witches were regarded as the seeds left behind by the darkness and faced hunting.

[Then when did the situation of the witch change? 】

Ernest thought for a while, then nodded the tip of the tail again, three times first, and then once more.It was the situation they discussed before that happened in the 31st year of the Guangming calendar.

Elsain raised his lips slightly, showing a trace of mockery in his expression.Ernest immediately realized that the church's argument was actually untenable from the perspective of this time.

The witch hunt lasted for 21 years, from a climax to a calm, and then to a climax again.How could there be no woman who died unjustly, and how could there be no witch crying out?If the facts are as the church claims, and the God of Light is so loving and just, why did he wait until the witches were almost dead before handing down an oracle to stop the persecution?

"The truth is actually very simple." Elsain indifferently put his finger on the stacked book, pointing to a sentence in it: "Pope Molitor succeeded the previous Pope in the 31st year of the Guangming calendar. Immediately after Pope Shuri Succession."

"Do you know what happened?" Elsain's blue eyes reflected the brilliance of jewels, and there was a strange aura in the dimly lit environment.

He closed the book in his hand and sat on the bench beside him.

[Nieqin appears. 】

[She was exactly 17 years old that year.Under various schemes, the pope who had always supported the witch hunt was killed.So Molitor, who promised her to stop the witch hunt, became Pope. 】

[Nieqin is too young, she doesn't know that people can change easily.Molitor couldn't refuse the riches--indulgences--and the casual disposition of women that came with the scare of witches.They are so easy to use, so easy to use as scapegoats. 】

【Therefore, Molitor broke the contract under various excuses. 】

Elsaine didn't continue speaking.But actually he's done talking.

In the short sentence "Pope Molitor succeeded the previous Pope in the 31st year of the Guangming calendar, followed by Pope Shuli's succession", everything is very clear.

Ernest's eyes had turned into vertical pupils, and he knew what that meant—

Neqin killed the closely guarded Pope Molitor, who broke the contract, at a terrible price.It also proved the powerful power of witches, forcing the church to recognize the legal status of fortune tellers, and brought witches back into the sun.

She told the Church of Light with her actions that if they were not treated fairly.Then come a pope, she will kill one.

Don't try to fool her with lies, otherwise, even if the breach of the promise is hidden under the protection of the entire church, she will kill the same!

Ernest remembered the taboo "Nezin's Lie".The magic item left by Nieqin is still feared by the church even now.

From there, Ernest seemed to see the most powerful fortune teller in the history of the mainland.
