Chapter 2250: Different Gotham history

"Beauty Man's Bell (
The icon on the cross closed its eyes and bowed its head. There was no sound in the quiet street. Inside the church, a story was told by the priest.
In Gotham that happened hundreds of years ago, no one knows its true or false, even the priest himself is not sure, after all, his family has already declined, and the things passed down are very limited.
But the stories that happened in the Bible were earlier in time, so do some people believe it?
Sometimes the truthfulness of the story is not important, what is important is the thoughts and concepts it contains, and Paul, who has just died, also wants to hear the truth about himself and the city.
It was a story about lunatics, vampire bats, betrayal and deception.
Everyone knows the history of the pioneering of the New World. Hundreds of years ago, some people came to North America from Europe and built a small town on the east coastline. This is the predecessor of Gotham.
At the beginning, everyone worked together. Although life was difficult, it was easier to live under the royal power of Europe.
But the dark foreign land slowly changed everyone.
Gradually, this place became a city. A nobleman recruited various villains to form an army, gradually took control of the city, and then obtained the post of governor of the colony by paying taxes to the King of England.
It was a man named Rafa Arkham, who went crazy after drinking a kind of water like red wine. He always laughed and made all kinds of evil deeds.
For example, detaining residents and scratching their feet to make the other party laugh to death; or hanging people from a cross and plugging reed tubes into their eyes to the residents' blood.
After the prisoners were tortured to death one by one, Sir Arkham would pretend to wipe away tears, saying that he only wanted to make jokes with people. It was not his intention to kill, he just wanted to make life more colorful.
The current Arkham Asylum is the mansion where he lived in the past. It was also called the "vampire castle" long ago.
The residents can’t even escape, because all the ships in Gotham are under the control of Governor Rafite, and the wilderness outside the city is roaming with hostile Native Americans, and the troops in the hands of the Governor are all perverts with hippie smiles. murderer.
They can only crouch in the dark, waiting for their tragic fate, and waiting for the deadly joke to come to their heads.
There are always heroes who will stand up at critical moments.
Edmund, the ancestor of the Wayne family, was originally a descendant of aristocrats in Britain. The family fell in a political struggle. As the last survivor, he was thrown into prison. At this time, someone pretended to be a jailer to rescue him and take him. Arrived in the New World by boat.
His rescuer was a war pastor from around Jerusalem, who was holding a Bible with a rose rosary in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, sometimes a torch.
That person was Bakar Van Ray, who is now the ancestor of Jean Paul.
Originally Edmund was just an ordinary aristocratic young master. Although he was not a weak scholar without the power to bind a chicken, he was not a warrior. The reason why Bakar saved him was because of the orphan’s aristocratic status. After all the dust settled, Gotham took over in a decent way.
Anyway, for the king, it does not matter who rules an overseas colony, as long as the tax is paid on time, but the only mandatory requirement is noble status.
The Order of St. Dumas served by Bakar is a branch of the Knights Templar after the split, the most fanatical branch.
It has been a few days since the Great Colonial Era. The fleets of Spain and other countries were transporting gold from the New World to Europe one by one. Everyone was jealous.
So his cult also wanted to take a share in the New World. They chose Gotham because the governor Arkham had a reputation as a vampire, and as a church to wipe out him, he immediately gained popular support.
When the time comes, Edmund's aristocratic status will be used to deal with the British king, and the Order will be able to use Gotham as its base to develop and grow infinitely in North and South America, spread its faith, and then launch the Crusade again to purify the entire world.
To put it simply, it means to kill all the heretics and heretics. In 1700, it would probably kill about 400 million. Even if there were pre-installed muskets and artillery, this was still not a small number.
But if people do not have ideals, what is the difference between them and salted fish?
For this lofty and sacred goal, Bakar started the task as the most devout believer, but he was not young at that time, and armed struggle often meant that he was afraid of being young.
So he began to train Edmund on the long voyage, teaching him to use various weapons, fighting skills, sneak in or endure pain.
Not to mention, that young nobleman is really like a reinforcement sent by God. The speed of his learning is terrifying. No matter what fighting skills, he will be able to practice it at first sight, even when the ship is halfway through. When on the ocean, he can board the islands passing by and catch bats with his bare hands.
There is a bat cave on that island. Because Bakar told him that going to the New World was to deal with vampires, Edmund was very addicted to the study of bats. He even felt that he had become a bat.
In order to show that his toughness is not at the same time against the demons, he made a long whip from the skins of hundreds of bats, and even called himself the bat king.
During the long voyage, some people on the ship died of storms, some died of scurvy, and even suffered from a windless zone. Many people died of thirst. But in the end, the master and disciple arrived with a small group of paladins North America, and sneaked into Gotham.
Here they fought an arduous struggle with Governor Arkham, first connecting with the masses in secret, and then carrying out some hidden destruction, attacking all aspects of the Governor's arrangement through actions one after another.
In the end, the momentum was successful, they launched a workers' and peasants' uprising, captured the governor's castle, and liberated the entire Gotham.
Governor Arkham cursed Gotham City with a wild laugh before his death, saying that his blood would select the heirs and make the city go to the darkest madness.
Old Ancestor Wayne didn't care. He pierced the governor with a sword through his chest, then kicked it into the dry well in the middle of the castle and fell to death, just like Leonidas kicked the Persian messenger.
Gotham ushered in a new development, and spent a good few months peacefully.
And after so many years of underground struggle, Edmund has also become a more qualified leader, and many locals support him.
In addition, many people in Gotham are Puritans. For the extreme ideas of Bakar, they prefer the various policies of Sir Wayne.
After eliminating the common enemy, there is a gap between the two victors.
Bakar wants Edmund to give up half of Gotham City for use by the Order. They will use half of the tax revenue to recruit troops and build fortresses to unify North America first, such as killing all the Indians.
But Sir Wayne, who has inherited the post of Governor, disagreed. He believed that everyone should live in peace. Now many people can’t even eat enough to fight for God’s business? Does the one in the sky take care of the food?
What's more, the statement of the Puritan priest is different from that of Bakar. God has never said that he wants to clean the Americas.
The fanatic Bakar feels deceived. He is Edmund’s teacher. The young man’s skills and experience are taught by himself~EbookFREE.me~Why is he disobedient after the incident?
traitor! Those who are not willing to sacrifice for the order are traitors!
So he announced that Governor Wayne had been infected by a vampire, it was a giant bat that became a sperm, and called on all God's people and monsters to go to war.
Of course, there are many people who believe in him, so the two factions started a civil war in the city.
But as I said earlier, boxing is afraid of being young, and when the strategies and tactics of the two sides are not too far apart, in the end, in the process of heads-up between the leaders of the two sides, Edmund killed Bakar.
He seized the property of the Order on behalf of the colonial government and began to manage the city patiently. Later, more big families emerged in the city, all of the products of that era.
But after all, he was also forced to be helpless. He actually didn't want to kill his teacher, but the teacher was too crazy, and his belief in God was scary.
So he didn't cut the grass and roots, let go of the teacher's family and children, and even left them to live in Gotham.
However, after the failed mission, the Fan Lei family also lost the support of the Order. The surviving widows and children have no business acumen at all, and their family ties are rapidly declining.
The Wayne family had been secretly helping the Fan Lei family until Bruce’s grandfather’s generation died so suddenly without leaving a last word. Since then, no one in the Wayne family knew to help another family.
The Fan Lei family is like a wave in the sea, disappearing in the black sea of ​​Gotham, and even the noble surname has been abandoned.
Today, Jean Paul, who is childless and alone, is the last member of the Van Lei family, and a priest from another declining family who secretly served in the Order of St. Dumas, told him this past story.
