Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 839 List
In the following time, Liang En and the others checked these names. Interestingly, they were able to find the people and information represented by some of the names through the Internet.

"—It is now certain that the first person above is the founder of a monastery, who once entered Jerusalem with the team of the First Crusade, and gained the appreciation of a nobleman by chance. "

Liang En read the content on the phone aloud, "When he was over fifty years old, he chose to leave Jerusalem and return to his hometown, and established a monastery that still exists in the Naples area, where he spent the rest of his life."

After searching the first person's name and date of death on the Internet, they quickly found the record of this person. Somewhat unexpectedly, this person is still a celebrity in the local area.

"Building a monastery is no easy task." After listening to Liang En's introduction of this person's life, Joan of Arc, who knew the monastery best among the few present, said.

There is no doubt that a monastery built of stone is often the strongest building in a region, and it is also one of the important cores of a region.

Considering that these buildings are often located in easily defended locations, and that there is clean water and enough food inside, people often use this as a refuge in the area.

However, judging from the productivity of the tenth and eleventh centuries, the construction of such a systematic stone building is definitely a very complicated matter, requiring a lot of wealth, manpower and material resources.

More importantly, the meaning represented by such a complex has an important impact on the local rulers, and it is difficult for ordinary priests to obtain permission.

Therefore, Joan is now very curious about how the other party was able to complete everything in ten years. After all, in her impression, most monasteries were built after several generations of people.

"It should be said to be a coincidence." Liang En said after recalling the knowledge in his memory.

"In terms of human resources, at that time Europe got rid of the chaos after the collapse of the Western Roman Empire and entered the first prosperous period of the Middle Ages, so there were enough human resources to complete the construction work."

"From the perspective of the relationship with the surroundings, the abbot is the second son of the earl family who ruled this land at that time, so it is not difficult to build a monastery on this land."

"As for wealth, compared to the Middle East at that time, the whole of Western Europe was poor and barren, so the so-called Crusaders who went to the Middle East at that time naturally grabbed a lot of money, so it was not difficult to build a monastery."

"It must be said that the Crusaders are a disgrace. They are just to satisfy the greed in their hearts, and they are not really fighting for God." Joan of Arc did not have any good comments on those Crusaders, and then the topic changed to the pastor himself .

"However, I am very curious why such a high-ranking and powerful person who lacks everything would take a huge risk to become a leader of the Hermes School. You must know that once his identity is exposed at that time, it is very likely will be executed."

"It may not necessarily be executed. After all, the attitude towards nobles is different from that of commoners, but it is very likely to be imprisoned for life. In short, the risk is not too small." Liang En nodded.

"And I think the reason why the other party took a huge risk to do this is because of greed. After all, whether it is power or wealth, they will naturally pursue some higher-end things, such as a longer life."

The pursuit of longevity can be said to be a common problem of rich people. It has not changed since ancient times. In ancient times, there were a group of guys who took pills and practiced. Now there are guys who are doing so-called embryonic stem cell therapy or injecting themselves with young blood.

Obviously, this pastor should also be this type of person. After his wealth, status, etc. were all satisfied, he began to turn to other aspects after finding that his gods could not meet his long life needs.

But then again, the other party's approach is not too bad, at least they don't believe in that kind of real cult, but just tinkering with some mystic theories, so that they won't hurt others.

As for this person's heir is another abbot, and the later heirs include nobles and scholars. In short, they are all people with status and status, and they belong to the existence that can still be found on the Internet today.

Obviously engaging in mysticism is not something ordinary people can undertake, especially alchemy, so everyone who appears in this golden book is a real person with status and status.

Of course, because these things were very taboo at that time, it can be seen that this identity was obviously circulated secretly among a group of acquaintances, and the two presidents before and after could always find a certain point of contact.

"Look who this is." Just when Liang En and the others thought they would only find a group of local well-known people here, Mary suddenly pointed to the last person on the last gold plate. "This should be a celebrity."

"Of course, this is of course a celebrity." Liang En nodded very seriously, because there was such a name written at the end: Giordano Bruno, which translates to Giordano Bruno, the man who was burned to death in the Campo de' Fiori Heliocentric believers.

Giordano Bruno has appeared in textbooks in many countries, so there is no need for much explanation about his adherence to the heliocentric theory and being burned to death, but now the name on this book is made sideways to prove something .

What we know is that on February 1600, 2, the philosopher Bruno was burned alive by the Roman Inquisition here, because his ideas were considered dangerous, and all his works were included in the "Catalogue of Prohibited Books" by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Holy See .

According to the current general view, he bravely defended and developed Copernicus's sun-centered theory, and spread it all over Europe.

But in fact, there are some differences in this identification. Although his insistence on the heliocentric theory has objectively promoted the research work of others in later generations, historically he may not have been burned as an adherent to scientific truth.

Judging from the information left behind, Bruno is a follower of the radical Hermes magic tradition with a strong sense of religious reform, and a believer in the magic religion of ancient Egypt.

It can even be said that he is a magician himself.He tried to discover the secrets of nature through magic in order to control and use nature. All his philosophical and 'scientific' discussions were subordinate to his religious mission.

This can also be seen from his research. For example, he removed the discovery that the moon revolves around the earth in Copernican's theory, but insisted that all planets revolve around stars.

This is actually a variant of sun worship, so it is not wrong to say that he has an antagonism with the church because of religious issues.

Of course, studying magic at that time cannot be said to be ignorance, because with the cognition of human beings at that time, being able to get rid of the ignorance of blindly worshiping gods and choose the cognizance was already a huge progress.

As for choosing magic instead of science, it was purely because of the human understanding of the world and the level of productivity at that time.
