MTL - Throne of Magical Arcana-v9 Chapter 4 Talking in the car
The atmosphere inside the carriage became very weird. Douglas seemed to have forgotten the two magicians on his side and whispered to one strange question after another, but Fernando and Roland didn't know what to say. This was not all Is it just as natural as the sun rises and the fruit ripens?
But Douglas quickly got rid of this state and said a little apologetically: "I'm sorry, I always have a similar loss."
"Nothing. I often do this when I have magic problems." Roland replied with a smile, seemingly completely uninterested in Douglas's strange question. Fernando opened his mouth, but still didn't say a word.
A brief silence disappeared, and Fernando and Roland introduced Douglas to the situation on the Storm Channel.
"Whether it's the Sylvanas Empire or the Yasuo Empire, the forces here have disintegrated, and they have become scattered and unorganized organizations, and some have fled to the endless ocean. It can be said that The situation here is not even as good as it is across the strait, at least the western territories such as Aalto are still in the hands of the magician ... "Roland said with a sigh.
Fernando added: "The territory that originally belonged to the Yasuo Empire was divided into two, one is the Kingdom of Briana, the other is the Principality of Calais, and the area to which the Sylvanas Empire belongs is the Kingdom of Holm and Ko. Kingdom of Wright, where our main event is organized is the Kingdom of Holm, where we are now ... "
Douglas had inquired about the situation before crossing the Strait of Storms. What they said was not unfamiliar, but it was not so detailed. His face was a bit dull at first, and then a calming and reassuring smile reappeared: "In fact. I chose to cross the storm channel instead of fleeing to Aalto because I was more optimistic about the situation here."
"Huh?" Fernando said on the surface, but his eyes narrowed slightly, not letting the bright red pupil leak his emotions.
Regarding the analysis of the situation, the "Union Union" has been doing it internally, and the conclusion reached is similar to Douglas, so there have been previous venture attempts and direction changes.
Douglas calmly said, "Because the aristocracy here is stronger than the Church of Truth."
This sentence was like a lightning split that hit Roland. Let him be numb, suddenly open, and understand why the organization would change the strategy of hiding, escaping from hunting, and slowly growing, and boldly let Fernando come to the capital of Paphos County to see the largest aristocracy here-can use the name of the county As the title of the title, the power of Count Pefoss is evident.
Roland knew this was to win over the nobility. Provoking their relationship with the church in exchange for their blessings in order to escape the church's increasingly stringent hunting, but it has never been so clear and clear why this is done and what ideal results may develop in the future.
Fernando said nothing, just staring at Douglas quietly. Waiting for his next words.
"We don't know the specific situation here, but according to my observations, with the fall of Antioch, the clergy became more and more arrogant towards the nobility, and most of the cardinals and holy knights concentrated in Antioch. Fowler and Lance. Ready to go west. "Douglas said what he had heard.
"Although western cities such as Aalto have gathered a lot of legendary lords, and even a small amount of blood, dragons, etc., but the internal contradictions are very large, and the gap between the strength of the church and the aristocracy is even greater, unless the 'Silver Moon' comes, otherwise Step by step, we are eroded. On the contrary, here, we are very small, and there are not many legendary lords who can draw together, but the difference between the strength of the church and the church is not large. "
For the first comparison, he used the overall strength of the church and the aristocracy, and the second time he singled out the church. The specific meaning was not only understood by Fernando, but also by Roland.
Fernando spoke, with a strange and sharp accent, apparently not a native of the Holm Kingdom: "After the disintegration and elimination of most of the higher-level magicians here, the truth cult has transferred more than half of the legendary clergy. Staff, only Rantat and Cux are currently guarded by a Holy Spirit Priest. "
"The epic knights have also been transferred, but there are five left. After all, this is their hometown and their territory. It is not in accordance with their wishes to attack Alto over the mountains and seas, even if they are devout believers. Because it is difficult to obtain substantial benefits, and they think the church does not lack this power, obviously, the church thinks so too. "
"But what's the point of this?" Roland asked with a frown, puzzled. "As long as the church defeats the legendary lords in the west and sends most of the strong men over, all our efforts will turn into bubbles."
Fernando glared at him: "Time, time to develop, time to find allies, time to provoke relationships, and time to balance."
Douglas smiled, "The enemy of the church is not just us."
"Well, if Aalto falls, the church will reach the dark mountains. Maybe" Silver Moon "will really come." Roland nodded.
Suddenly Douglas' expression turned a little stubborn: "Even if the 'Silver Moon' comes, I'm afraid it will be difficult to counter the Pope."
"Do you mean, 'God-Down' is really that strong?" Fernando asked, both shocked and implicitly curious. They were on the side of the strait, and the information they received did not know how much distortion, and now, in front of them, a A magician who experienced the battle of Antivre.
"His" Starlight's Light "fell without resistance, and even Antivre's lost locks were mostly destroyed. I don't know how strong a true **** is, but I know 'Starlight's Light' Your Excellency surpassed the level of the legendary peak when fighting with Antiferré ... ”Douglas recalled, the reassuring smile disappeared, showing a little sigh and panic.
Both Fernando and Roland were silent. Although neither of them had the opportunity to go to Antioch, although Fernando was a child of the Aso Empire, as long as the teacher and elder repeatedly described and portrayed, Antioch has been deeply engraved in To their hearts, that is the "mystery crown" holy place that all magicians long for, that is the city with the title of the strongest fortress on the ground, and that is the place where the most legendary magicians are the strongest. However, with just one blow of "God-Down", the Archon of the Sylvanas Empire and the Mystique were destroyed together.
"Shen Jiangshu" is so strong?
This moment. There was a deep despair in their hearts. What's the point of their own efforts? At that time, it was just a question of "Shen Jiangshu".
Douglas smiled again and again: "Don't worry too much, I'm afraid it's not that easy for the Pope to perform‘ God '. ”
"How do you know?" This information was so significant that Roland never heard it, and even suspected that Douglas was comforting himself.
Douglas didn't have a beard, and the correct facial features seemed quite young. He laughed: "It has been almost ten years since the fall of Antivele, but the church has not been moving westward. Only some cardinals are trying, and the pope has never shot again Watching the desperate and scattered people reuniting, watching the western territories getting stronger and stronger, I think this may be a bit related. "
"Furthermore, the Pope also encountered the siege of the legendary Lord before, but did not use‘ Shen Jiang Shu ’. If it is really so easy to cast, it can be used to easily solve the battle.”
He confessed his guess frankly, without taking into account that the two magicians on the opposite side had very many reservations about him.
"This ..." Fernando fell into contemplation, and the more he thought about it, the more he made sense, and at the same time he became more vigilant against Douglas, who had been in front of him for a long time. But no one has ever been able to link them together. Douglas sees the problem so thoroughly! Does this have to do with the strange questions he often asks?
The exchanges here did not go any further, after all, no real trust has been established.
The carriage stopped in the suburbs. Fernando and Roland took Douglas through the forest, near a hiding place.
In this forest. The "Magic Union" has three secret strongholds, one that has not yet been activated, one that allows three magicians to avoid it, and one that they are now going to. It is not clear whether other organizations have strongholds here.
"Go around there first." Roland said to Fernando with a mental connection.
Fernando nodded and understood what he meant. He wanted to first observe the stronghold where the three magicians were hiding, because after their analysis, one of the suspected traitors was there.
Douglas didn't talk much and followed the two quietly, but Fernando and Roland did not intend to let him see the stronghold, who knew if he was the spy of the night watchman.
As the church completely gained the upper hand, showing incomparable strength, more and more desperate magicians who were struggling in the dark and panic-stricken fears, turned to the church and became night watchers who hunted their companions. Know if your close companion yesterday will become an enemy that will end your life today.
There are several large magical organizations that have been infiltrated by the night watchmen and suffered a devastating blow. The remaining organizations have learned their lessons and rigorously tested each new entrant. Even if he is a master mage, you must know There is no shortage of Archmage among the top 30 elites of the night watchman ranking!
Fernando and Roland were only prepared to take a closer look to see if there were any abnormalities and not to reveal the secret stronghold. But at this glance, Fernando's complexion immediately turned blue, as if the storm was about to come.
The crypt was half open, and the thick blood taste attracted three wild wolves.
"One step late!" Roland patted his head in annoyance, and he understood what was going on. Their suspicion was correct, but the other party did not intend to continue to lurk, and did not expect to be able to hide it and kill the two magics first. He left directly after the division and should now be under the protection of a night watchman.
Douglas quietly watched them inspecting the surroundings, followed them quietly to the crypt, saw two incomplete corpses bitten, and two deadly frightened faces.
"Gary is dead, Prince is dead ..." Roland murmured a little out of control. "The little girl from Gary's house also asked me to protect his father. Prince hadn't had time to confess ..." Damn Benson, they are all your good friends! Gary even rescued you! I was late ... "
"Death has been at least a day and a half, and there are signs of being infiltrated by rain." Douglas whispered, indicating that it was likely that Benson had just arrived here, and no one could rescue it.
Fernando's face was green and red, and he vaguely remembered that the little girl in Gary's house was a lovely child, and it took a long time to suppress the growl: "I will let Benson confess to you!"
A five-ring magician ~ www.novelbuddy.com ~ an elite who is very hopeful to become a high-end magician, even turned to the night watchman!
Roland took a deep breath. "Leave here first."
The two hurriedly turned the body into powder and put them into storage bags.
The journey to the secret stronghold was even more gloomy and depressed, and Douglas suddenly said, "Actually, I am a magician who does not love killing and fighting. I prefer to explore and to understand the truth behind things."
Fernando was about to growl, but Douglas's words left a deep impression on him.
Douglas looked at the sky and sighed softly: "But only with a safe and stable environment and the cooperation and support of many people can exploration and research continue. Now, there is no safe place to place an alchemy platform, and we can mutually Help, the companions who are exploring the world together are dying one by one. "
"When a person is forced to die, it is time to change." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote for recommendations, monthly tickets, your support is my greatest Power. Please read for mobile phone users.)
