Chapter 2251 (1/2)
The statue on the cross closed his head, and there was no sound in the quiet street. Inside the church, a story was told by the priest.
It happened in Gotham hundreds of years ago. No one knew whether it was true or not. Even the priest himself was not sure. After all, his family had already declined and his heritage was very limited.
But the story in the Bible happened earlier, different, some people believe it?
Sometimes the truth of the story doesn't matter. What matters is the ideas and ideas it contains. Paul, who is dying, wants to hear the truth about himself and the city.
It's a story about lunatics, vampire bats, betrayal and deception.
As we all know, hundreds of years ago, some people traveled across the ocean from Europe to North America and built a small town on the east coast, which is the predecessor of Gotham.
In the beginning, we all worked together. Though it was hard, it was better to live under the monarchy of Europe.
But the dark alien land is slowly changing everyone.
Gradually, it became a city. A nobleman recruited all kinds of villains to form an army and gradually took control of the city. Then, by paying taxes to the king of England, he got the post of colonial governor.
It was a man named Rafael Arkham, who was crazy after drinking a kind of red wine like water, and he was always laughing and doing all kinds of evil deeds.
For example, detaining residents, scratching their feet to make each other laugh to death; or hanging people on the cross, inserting reed pipes into their eyes, and sucking the residents' blood.
After the prisoners were tortured to death one by one, sir Arkham would also pretend to wipe his tears, saying that he only wanted to make a joke with people, that killing was not his intention, he just wanted to make life more colorful.
Today's Arkham madhouse, the mansion where he used to live, was also known as the ”vampire castle” a long time ago.
The residents could not even escape, for all the boats in Gotham were under the control of governor Rafi, and the wilderness outside the city was full of hostile native Indians, and the governor's army was all hippy, perverted killers.
They can only crouch in the dark, waiting for their tragic fate, waiting for the fatal joke to turn on their head.
There are always heroes who will come out at the critical moment.
Edmund, the forefather of the Wayne family, was originally a noble descendant in England. When the family collapsed in the political struggle, he was put into prison as the last survivor. At this time, someone disguised as a jailer to save him and take him to the new world by boat.
The man who saved him was a fighting priest from around Jerusalem, the one with a rosary in his left hand and a Bible in his right hand, sometimes a sword and sometimes a torch in his right hand.
The man's name was Bacar van Rae, the ancestor of Jean Paul today.
At first, Edmund was just a common noble young master. Although he was not a weak scholar with no strength to tie a chicken, he was not a fighter. The reason why Bacar rescued him was that he was interested in the noble status of the orphan, and could take over Gotham in good name after all the dust had settled down.
In any case, it is not important for the king who rules an overseas colony. As long as the taxes are paid on schedule, the only rigid requirement is aristocracy.
The order order order of St. Dumas served by Bacar is a branch of the order order of the Templars after its division and the most fanatical one.
It has been some days since the great colonial era. The fleet of Spain and other countries transported gold from the new world ship by ship to Europe, and everyone was jealous.
So his church also wanted to take a share in the new world. They chose Gotham because the governor of Akam there had a reputation as a vampire. If he was killed as a church, he could immediately gain the support of the people.
Then, with Edmund's aristocratic status to deal with the British king, the church could take Gotham as the base, develop and expand in North and South America, spread faith, and then launch Crusades again to purify the whole world.
To put it simply, we should kill all the heretics and heretics. In 1700, it would be about 400 million. Even if we had the front loaded guns and guns, it was still not a small number.
But if there is no ideal, what is the difference between it and salted fish?
For this noble and sacred goal, Bakar, as the most devout believer, began his mission. However, he was not young at that time, and armed struggle often meant that he was afraid of being young.
