Harry and Hermione didn't understand what "Dante's Inferno" Catherine was talking about for a while, but soon they followed the young crusader and rushed back to their hometown in the suburbs of Barcelona day and night. Everyone can also see that he is the protagonist of this story, and Catherine calls him "Dante".
Dante was obviously born into a noble family. His family's manor was quite wealthy and luxurious, with a large area of farmland and vineyards. He was at least a hereditary baron. But when they arrived, the manor was as quiet as death. The blood stains started from the gate and extended into the interior of the manor. .
Hermione covered her mouth with her hands. She had already guessed that the vengeful heretic killer had arrived first, and Dante's family was probably in danger.
The blood on the ground was still very fresh. Dante kicked open the door and ran towards the manor. The bright silver sword and the dark hand crossbow had been taken out. His face was already ferocious. If at this time that man If a pagan stood before him, he would surely tear him into pieces.
Following a woman's scream, Dante's footsteps became more urgent. When he rushed into the stone house behind the manor, he happened to see three familiar faces. A tall, fat old man has fallen into a pool of blood. The killer wearing brown worn leather armor is stabbing a long dagger into the heart of Dante's beloved wife. Amidst the woman's screams, the killer laughs crazily and stabs the dagger. With one twist, the woman's heart was completely crushed and there was no possibility of survival.
Dante, who was originally so furious that he would rush in and kill everyone even if there were thousands of troops standing in front of him, saw his wife's miserable state, his whole soul seemed to be pulled away all of a sudden, and his whole body went limp. , fell to the ground, various emotions such as regret, shame, anger, etc. surged into his heart, making his heart almost collapse. Even if the killer sneered and walked past him in a swagger, he did not What a reaction, as if he was already despairing.
Just as disheartened as him are Hermione and the other three. They really can't stand the psychological stimulation of this plot. Even though Catherine has been helping them maintain their sanity, SAN is still falling, and there seems to be no recovery or stagnation. sign.
The sky gradually darkened, and Dante finally moved. He silently stepped forward and squatted down, moved his wife's body to his knees, took out the silver cross from his arms, and began to pray for his wife, even though his wife had already died. Although he passed away, he still had a glimmer of comfort in his heart, that is, his wife had always been gentle and kind, and she would definitely be able to ascend to heaven. Once there, there would be no worries and pain.
But while he was praying, Dante's body emitted a faint golden light, proving that he had awakened the power of order. At this time, a black shadow that was originally invisible to mortal eyes appeared next to him. In Ding's surprised eyes, the black shadow smiled ferociously, and used a long scythe to hook his wife in Dante's arms. His wife's soul was immediately caught in the black shadow's hands, and with a gust of evil wind, the black shadow flew out of the window.
"No!" Dante got angry, split the window with his sword, and jumped out as well.
"Um, is that the God of Death? Why didn't he chase the killer instead of the God of Death?" Neville asked with some confusion.
Hermione's eyes were empty, but she still answered him: "Because the appearance of the killer was the hatred planted by Dante himself, and Dante felt that his wife's pure soul should not be judged by death..."
"I will never allow it! I won't allow you to take Beatrice's soul away!" Dante roared, chasing the black shadow of Death. His figure in the faint golden light had surpassed the scope of mortal power. .
The God of Death took Beatrice's soul into the dark forest and opened the door to hell in a dark place. Dante, who arrived shortly after, rushed in without hesitation.
Catherine didn't need to choose, their bodies were also sucked in by the gate of hell.
"Everyone, be careful!" Catherine reminded everyone in the hell passage surrounded by fire: "We will be attacked when we get to hell!"
The top of Kunlun Mountain on the other side.
The figures of Yan Nishuang and others had appeared in the hall that was tens of meters high, but the "gods and immortals" in front of them made Yan Nishuang a little surprised.
There are dozens of gorgeous jade thrones standing in the center of the hall. Yan Nishuang originally thought that the thrones should be Eastern Taoist gods such as Sanqing Taoist and Kunlun Twelve Immortals, but it seems that these
There are too many thrones, and not all of the people sitting on the thrones look like Easterners. Not only are their heights ranging from two to ten meters, but they are also of various races and are dressed in a variety of ways. They seem to be gods from other continents and civilizations. .
"This is... the Pantheon?" Ron's eyes widened. He had never seen such a sight before. He was so excited that he went crazy.
"Yes...right..." Yan Nishuang replied with some uncertainty. But she figured out the reason in a blink of an eye, which was the paradox of the Age of Mythology.
If the age of myth is just a creation of the imagination of later generations of humans, who imagine the existence of gods out of reverence for the natural world, then there will be Eastern god systems in the East, and Western ones in the West. Even tribes in Africa and South America have their own god systems. .
But this is a magical world, and many signs have proved that this world may have really existed in the age of mythology. If these gods really existed, then it would be impossible to have a completely different mythological system. The earth is only so big, and the gods It is impossible to just focus on a certain small tribe, unless the gods are very simple and boring, like to cultivate their own followers and are very territorial and do not interfere with each other.
What we see in front of us has some explanation for the age of mythology, that is, all the gods on the earth actually come from the same "organization", let's call them "Pantheon". The Pantheon can allocate jurisdiction to the gods, and it may also be the world. The gods in various places are the same god, but they have different names according to different language systems.
"Quiet!" A majestic voice resounded throughout the hall, shocking Yan Nishuang and the other three. This voice seemed to be generated directly in everyone's minds, and it was not a sound wave in the physical sense.
Yan Nishuang looked at the tallest throne in the center of the hall. It was the center of power of the Pantheon, and was occupied by five great gods whose faces could not be seen clearly.
"Order must be reshaped! Extraordinary beings must leave the ground!" A great god said first.
"We were ordered to come to Earth to protect the star soul. Now that the star soul is stable, we must not coexist with humans." Another great god said.
"What does Emperor Haotian mean, should we eradicate humans?" A great god with a female voice said: "The appearance of humans is just an accident, but they have been included in the Ten Thousand Worlds Tree of Life. We have no right to exterminate humans. "
