Chapter 877: The History of the Eye of Darkness
The Scepter was obviously stunned by Shi Lei's question, and a brief vacuum appeared at the scene.
Shi Lei said impatiently: "This is not a closed self-service bank. Can you react quickly? Although I know you have the ability to make travelers unable to see what is happening here. However, too much control will also bring you something similar to backlash, right? Your principle should be to not intervene too much in human life."
The Scepter immediately showed anger, and it said: "You are smart and dare to say anything. Level 4 manager, do you think your level is already high enough to be unscrupulously guessing the supreme black card?"
Shi Lei curled his lips and said, "Okay, okay, I can't guess it. You can quickly explain clearly, how can you, who have nothing to do with Dark Night Eye, directly promote Wei Boti to his personal assistant?"
The scepter snorted, as if he didn't want to give Shi Lei any explanation.
However, in the end it chose to compromise.
"Dirty Grey Rat, why do you always have so many problems? Can't you spend money like your predecessors?"
Shi Lei shrugged and said, "So they are all dead, aren't they? If I want to live, I must know more about you."
The scepter smiled strangely, and his voice made people feel cold all over. Shi Lei said again: "Although the quota is already very high now, the time has been extended to one quarter. If nothing unexpected happens, there will be time to upgrade in the future. Although I also feel that if this quota is increased by ten times, sooner or later, I will be erased by you. But at least I already have the record of the longest survival time among all black card holders, right? Oh, maybe not yet, but after level 4, you should know that I am still sure. So, I should have at least more than a year to survive. I just want to figure out as much as possible before finally meeting the fate of being erased by you. The most important thing is to know what your purpose is. There is an old Chinese saying, "Be a wise ghost..."
The scepter snorted and began its explanation.
"The existence of the Night Eyes must be traced back from the Middle Ages in Europe, and has been more than a thousand years since then. Originally, the Night Eyes were established by some believers expelled by the church. The purpose of its establishment was to compete for a place in the church and even replace the Holy See at that time. But after all, it was just some remnants and could not compete with the powerful Holy See at that time. After hundreds of years of underground development, it gradually gained a certain scale. However, the Renaissance of Europe had already ushered in at that time. Do you know the history of Europe?"
Shi Lei originally thought that the Scepter was to explain the relationship between the Black Card and the leader of the Dark Night Eyes, but he didn't expect that the Scepter began to introduce the history of the Scepter.
He nodded and said, "I don't know much, but I still know the general timeline. The sign of the end of the medieval age is the Renaissance, which is about the fifteenth century."
The scepter snorted again and said, "Yes, the greatest significance of the Renaissance is that knowledge is respected and science can take root and sprout in the true sense of your planet. Martin Luther's resistance to the Holy See promoted the birth of Protestantism and gradually achieved the separation of church and state in the future. In the past three hundred years from the Renaissance to the separation of church and state, the power of the Dark Night Eye has also developed greatly. The reason why Napoleon was able to successfully force the Pope to crown him from Rome to Paris, rather than going to Rome to ask the Pope to crown him himself, there was also Dark Night Eye making great efforts in it."
Shi Lei blinked and said, "Didn't Napoleon be crowned by himself?"
The scepter said angrily: "Is it true that I don't know that Napoleon took the crown from the pope to crown himself? However, the Pope Pius VII at that time was forced to arrive from Rome to Paris, and was ready to crown him. Napoleon's behavior was just to completely break the Holy See's control over the world, which had a symbolic meaning, indicating that the First French Empire was no longer essentially.
Being under the control of the Holy See, it is just to give the Holy See a crown. This is a bit like your Eastern Zhou Dynasty in China. In fact, those princes were no longer controlled by the Zhou Dynasty, but they must maintain superficial respect for the Zhou Dynasty, otherwise they will give other vassal states an excuse to attack them. Since then, the Holy See has less and less control over the secular world, providing enough soil for the sustainable development of science. And what made Napoleon do this was the leader of the Dark Night Eye at that time."
Shi Lei nodded and thought to himself that the dark night Eye Eye had done such a big thing. Unfortunately, this is just a mysterious organization after all, and he can't stand it. Even if he assists Napoleon, he still cannot enter the historical stage openly.
Seeing Shi Lei's expression, the scepter said with a little disdain: "Great as I know what you are thinking. You stupid groundhog, the supreme black card, have opened up so many brains for you, but you are still so stupid. Do you think it's Dark Night Eye that I can't stand the light? Or do you think it's Dark Night Eye that I'm really willing to hide underground? No. After Napoleon became the emperor of the Empire, he forced the Pope to crown him as the king of Italy. These are all carefully planned by Dark Night Eye. However, they underestimated Napoleon, or they did not expect Napoleon's human nature to be so inferior."
Shi Lei was stunned and said, "Napoleon's rabbit died and the dog cooked the bird and hid the bow?"
"Isn't that the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty in your China the same? The heroes must be eliminated one by one, otherwise how can the empire's rule be stable? No one can allow an organization to be above the imperial power. If the Ming Cult is not possible, the dark night's eye will certainly not do it."
"But the Ming Dynasty lasted for at least three hundred years, and the First French Empire was only eleven years. Even if the Second Empire established by Napoleon III was included, it was less than thirty years in total."
"Silly groundhog! Can you listen to the noble as I finish saying it? Do you think the noble as I am reviewing history for you?"
Shi Lei waved his hand and smiled and said, "Okay, noble scepter, you continue."
"Why did you think Napoleon's empire went to perish so quickly? Is it really because of those inexplicable wars? The French army was so powerful that it almost conquered the entire Europe, why did it suddenly suffer a Waterloo and become so vulnerable?"
Shi Lei was stunned and immediately said, "Because of the dark night's eyes?"
