Chapter 65: It’s better to go back "How should I put it?
Although the history of Europeans has been changed a lot by us, I think the great geographical discovery and the age of navigation will eventually come, right?
Europeans who have been struggling in poverty for many years and are extremely eager for wealth cannot possibly Give up looking for the road to India, China and America.
After all, they in this time and space have seen the wealth and beauty of India with their own eyes through our random door.
The continent's gold.
And we provided them with accurate world maps, globes, compasses and even sextants, which together with the presence of magic such as healing, will also make the voyage safer.
The coverage can only reach the vicinity of the Azores Islands at most, but just the accurate navigation chart and the absolute guarantee of the first half of the voyage are already much luckier than Columbus and others who were blind. " In response to Li Wei's question, Wang Qiu shrugged, "Moreover, in the foreseeable future, it seems that there will be no external force that can completely destroy this weak and turbulent European civilization.
Compared with the epidemic in the European Christian world, the Arab world's The situation is even more miserable, although these desert peoples who believe in God are better than those in the Middle Ages in terms of cleanliness and hygiene.
Europeans are much stronger in ancient times, but Doraemon's plague weapons of the 22nd century are too powerful to withstand.
In this vast land from North Africa to the Indus River, it is estimated that seven to eight million people will survive in the end.
Thank God, and with these manpower spread over such a vast land, it would be very difficult to occupy the existing territory, let alone invade Europe.
In the same way, on the Ukrainian steppes east of the scope of the Magic Encyclopedia Dictionary, plague is also raging and corpses are everywhere.
The nomadic Tatars there would probably be living in poverty and be on the verge of annihilation.
Even in the original history, they would have been killed by the Polish cavalry and beaten by the Ottoman Empire until they knelt down and begged for mercy.
Finally, after a fairly fierce resistance, he was beaten by the Russian morons until he could no longer take care of himself.
From then on, he became a subject of the Tsar and the Soviets, and never posed any real threat to European civilization.
In fact, from black Africa to the Ganges plains, to the snowy peaks of the Andes and the rainforests of Central America, the Merchant of Venice has used our random doors to explore most of the civilized world on the earth, and has also brought bacterial weapons and plagues to so many places.
In the catastrophe of this global plague that is about to break out, the Europeans who have received the healing spell will not be the losers with the heaviest losses, if not the smallest losses. " "So will the religious reform still happen in Europe?"
Levi took a deep drag on his cigarette and blew out smoke rings and asked again.
"How to put this question?
The Middle Ages were dark, and religion was supreme, because religion brought countless tragedies.
Originally, this catastrophe of the Black Death would show the cruel face and absurd nature of the world, seriously shaking the absolute authority of the church.
People The people were extremely disappointed with God because no matter how much they prayed and cried, God did not intervene to stop the plague.
This prompted people to be dissatisfied with the church.
The system became suspicious.
Since God was silent about human suffering, people needed to find new teachings to explain these sufferings.
Various heretical orders emerged one after another, which led to the division of Christendom and became a major religious crisis one hundred and fifty years later.
The harbinger of change, but in this world, we have come, and really used our magical power to save the world."
Wang Qiu smiled bitterly and shook the "angel wings" behind him.
"So, in this changed history, instead of being questioned and weakening, the authority of the church will be greatly strengthened, right?"
Knight Levi nodded clearly, "As the After being saved by the divine power of God through the coming of angels and the gift of divine magic, medieval Europeans would only become more devout in their belief in God, and the religious reform would probably end in vain.”
"It's hard to say, Brother Levi.
In fact, the religious reform has already begun.
Otherwise, what do you think the statue over there is?"
Wang Qiu shook his head, pointed to the giant Lucky Cat statue standing in the center of Oxford, and said There are taller Doraemon statues next to them.
Under the night, they are reflected by the light of the stars and the moon reflected in the snow, making them extraordinarily majestic and spectacular, even with a somewhat soul-stirring solemnity.
"The giant cat statues erected in various cities.
The Ten Commandments of Cat Worshipers invented by Doraemon.
How could I forget this?
This is equivalent to our own religious reform, and it is absolutely politically correct.
There is no conservatism at all.
If the faction dares to launch a counterattack, it will be reckoned with.”
Levi groaned softly and reached out to scratch his messy hair, "But this is completely different from the religious reform in history, isn't it?"
"Then, what do you think the religious reform in history means, democracy, freedom, and science?
It's a pity that early Protestantism was not much more enlightened than Catholicism in these aspects.

The Roman Catholic Church in history burned astronomers to death in the Campo de' Fiori Bruno, the Protestants also burned Servetus, the discoverer of blood circulation, in Geneva.
In fact, after tearing off the outer layer of ideology, the battle between Protestants and Catholics was actually more like what has happened in any country.
The local versus the central can also be described as the collapse of the Roman Empire in the spiritual realm.”
Looking at the shadowy streets and houses under the night sky, Wang Qiu once again exhaled a puff of white air and said lightly, "The unified church organization fell apart, the authority of the Pope was no longer, and countless sects emerged one after another.
The earliest religious reform was nothing more than The field of faith in Western Europe changed from a backwater in the Catholic Church to a turbulent and chaotic era where heroes were divided.
It took a long time before there were various innovations and progress such as the separation of church and state.
Although Doraemon's Ten Commandments of the Cat Worship Club are very childish, they are equivalent to throwing a big stone into this stagnant water.
The Hogwarts Academy and the magic spells we have created have opened countless small gaps in the dam of the pond.
If these spells can be monopolized in the hands of the Holy See, then the Holy See in this world can be like a certain The settings in some fantasy novels are the same.
The priests are divided according to the number of spells they master, and they are extremely powerful and superior to the world.
But in fact, all thirty spells have been widely spread from the beginning.
Whether it is the noble Pope or the humble small businessman, there is no difference in the magical power they control.
Although from the perspective of the entire Catholic Church, their The strength is still increased.
However, the local dioceses could not lose their strength, and the seeds of the darkness and decline of the central Holy See were also planted at the same time."
"Finally, as to whether the European Renaissance will continue to sprout, I can only take a pessimistic attitude on this issue.
To put it bluntly, all culture and art in this world are just burning money.
If there is not a large enough population to To create wealth, there won’t be so many rich people to be fashionable, and everyone will have to dig hard from the soil, so artists and writers who are not engaged in production will only starve to death.”
Wang Qiu curled his lips and said, "Unfortunately, judging from the current miserable situation in Europe with only ten houses and nine empty houses, for a long time to come, everyone can only focus on resuming production.
The rich also There is no intention of competing with each other for their interest in art and funding.
Literary artists can only find time to write diaries if they can afford paper and pen; while artists can only find a piece of wood and carve some small decorations during the slack season. " "You are thinking too pessimistically.
The thirty spells we spread out fully prove that knowledge is power."
Levi retorted disapprovingly, "Not to mention the elimination effect of the plague, at least within the effective scope of the Magic Encyclopedia Dictionary, a literati who has mastered these spells can use Dragon Break, Fireball, and Pyroblast.
Easily defeat a group charge of hundreds of knights or level a strong castle alone.
In the face of the intuitive power comparison, I don't believe that any noble lord with a big brain dares to despise culture and take pride in being illiterate.
Even if they are really illiterate, they must try their best to memorize the spell, otherwise there is really only a dead end.
One.
And under the test of life and death, anyone’s learning efficiency will become quite amazing.”
"Okok, what you said makes sense, brother Levi.
Yes, I admit that the person with the strongest force should and must have the highest power.
I still understand this political common sense, and it also applies in medieval Europe."
Wang Qiu raised his hands a little tiredly, making a gesture of surrender.
He seemed to have lost interest in the chat.
"Due to the huge power of these spells, the armored knight will become invincible in front of scholars who have mastered the spells."
The power to fight back is all mastered at Hogwarts These thirty spells only take two weeks, which is much faster than the training speed of any knight.
In this way, knowledge not only represents the most precious wealth, but also represents the most powerful force and the culture of knowledge.
People will be able to easily defeat those illiterate knights and gain the right to rule Therefore, even if the threat of plague is not taken into account, just for the needs of survival and competition, the literacy rate of Europeans may have a volcanic eruption-like rapid growth, and the lofty status of noble knights will disappear in an instant.
Next, there may be a trend of valuing civility over military affairs, and a series of subversive changes will occur from the political system to social concepts.
As I said before, history has fallen into a fog."
At this point, his topic suddenly changed, "But, for us passers-by from another world, what will be the future of Europeans in this world?
Will they move towards light or fall into darkness?
What will happen to us?"
What’s the real meaning?”
Having said this, Wang Qiu suddenly turned around, looked at Li Wei, and his expression became very serious: "There is a very important news that I need to inform you, brother Li Wei, the 50,000 reward points for you to leave the game are now gone.
Enough is enough.
Do you plan to end this journey in medieval Europe as soon as possible and return to the modern world to be with your wife and children?

Or do you want to stay for a while and continue to enjoy various extramarital affairs behind your sister-in-law’s back?”
Paladin Levi held the half-burning cigarette in his mouth, and suddenly fell to the ground with a "clack", splashing a few weak sparks oshow7:
