Wizard From Afar - Chapter 1143
After careful selection in name and enthusiastic recommendation by colleagues, it was actually a list already set by Dalton kand, and the executor of the whole plan and nine wizards were finally freshly released.
First of all, the executor needless to say, it is certain that Loren Turin cannot have a second – except him, there is no second wizard who can open the second valve at present.
Dalton, the leader of the freswok school, followed closely with elbird, the former wizard consultant of the imperial court – regardless of their academic level, they are already the two “most capable” Wizards in the Empire.
Then there are three elders of the nine pointed star wizard tower… Although Dalton has tried to find a few “younger” among these top masters, the combined age of the three elders is unfortunately over 300.
The last four wizards are senior mentors from three places, all of whom are spell casters who have studied spell Science… Including two from the Royal wizard college, one from the wizard tower and one from Byrne.
Dalton is also selfish in this regard – the Byrne wizard guild, which has only one wizard, is the most perfect spell in the whole empire; But neither the wizard tower nor the Royal wizard college has any room for criticism, because Dalton himself is also on the list, and Byrne has “contributed” even his Duke.
Isaac and the little wizard, who also wanted to participate, were beaten back by Dalton and ordered not to continue to intervene in the matter.
In particular, Ayn Dalton even sent a spy around her to monitor to ensure that she would not “knowingly commit a crime”.
As for the task of protecting nine wizards and executors, it was handed over to Byrne’s demon hunters and a group of ancient wood forest war dancers who volunteered.
Outstanding in fighting alone, the war dancers who are good at fighting with few enemies can pretend to be Azores elves warriors – leaving aside some small details, it is difficult for the elves of the two groups to distinguish – to a certain extent, they can confuse the enemy and buy time for action.
For this plan, Lucian focused on selecting nine soldiers who had participated in the previous eboden defense war or had been in charge of the eboden intelligence network in the night watchman, and asked them to learn and remember the map of the underground passage all night.
In fact, in the original plan, the work of the demon hunter should be handed over to the Knights of the Holy Cross; These soldiers who are almost immortal and have rich “guard” experience are Brandon’s first choice.
However, at present, all the sworn Knights of the Holy Cross Church are “protective shields”. Except for a group of soldiers who have died in the fortress of duanjie mountain, all the protective shields are bound by the oath of “guarding the church”. If they stand on the land without a cathedral, they can’t get the protection of the Holy Cross. In a sense, they may be inferior to ordinary knights.
After all, the average Knight knows how to avoid the enemy’s attack even if he is not afraid of death; With the protection of “God”, they are not afraid of death. They have long forgotten to protect the vital points in the battle.
The Cathedral of eboden had long been destroyed by the Azores, leaving not a brick left. It had long been disassembled and turned into their Eagle court.
As for an empire, it may even be the only “sword of oath” in the world… Except himself, no one knows where he is now.
Nine top wizards, nine war dancers, nine demon hunters and an executor formed a team to prevent rodriya from using last resort.
……………………………
“So this is our last lesson?”
In the tent with the curtain door tightly pulled up, little priest Weber looked nervously at the black haired wizard in front of him with a trace of surprise and uneasiness: “are you going to stop the prince of the Azores and use the power of eboden to destroy the world?”
“Er… It should not have reached the point of destroying the whole world.”
Shaking his head, Lauren looked at Weber strangely: “who did you listen to?”
“Isaac told me, he said I should know.” the little priest replied honestly, “but don’t worry, I know it’s still a secret and won’t tell anyone.”
No, when Isaac knows something, it’s no longer a secret.
Loren couldn’t help pulling the corners of his mouth.
The little priest opposite didn’t notice the change of the black haired wizard’s expression and was still immersed in some kind of remorse: “when Isaac told me this, my first emotion was not to worry about you, but some… Some regret! It’s a pity that I didn’t help you more.”
“It’s like learning the old Sutra… When Isaac told me, I even felt a trace of regret. Why do I have to wait until you have to master it as soon as possible to teach you reluctantly rather than earlier; if you can master it earlier, it may greatly improve the success rate of this plan, rather than…”
“Well, Webb, you seem to have misunderstood something. I didn’t…”
“No, there’s nothing to misunderstand!” with infinite self reproach, the little priest interrupted the black haired Wizard: “I’m just sorry. I’m sorry that every time you need help, you always know later.”
“So as a last bit of compensation, I want to tell you all about the old Sutra, Loren – it may not make any sense, but it’s really the last thing I can do for you.”
Looking at the little priest’s increasingly serious expression, Loren became serious.
“I’m all ears.”
Weber nodded slightly.
“Some time ago, Isaac and I taught the spelling of letters in the old Sutra and some proverbs, and related to the most important ‘runes’ and’ vows’ – the former related to the meaning of the existence of each Cathedral, and the latter related to the cornerstone of the church, the oath knight.”
The pondering little priest raised his head: “but Loren, do you know… Why did the church put the old scriptures on the shelf, only a few church members were allowed to contact, and created today’s scriptures?”
The dark haired wizard raised his eyebrows.
“I guess the first reason is that the old Scripture itself has the effect of communicating with the Holy Cross… Although it is very small, in theory, as long as we master it, anyone can directly contact with the Holy Cross without going through the church, which is contrary to the fundamental interests of the church as the spokesman of the Holy Cross.”
Under the gaze of the little priest, Loren speculated and pondered: “in addition, the content and text of the old Sutra itself are too complex for believers to understand. We need a more simple and straightforward theory to spread faith?”
Weber nodded.
“Sure enough, as a wizard and Duke at the same time, you understand these very thoroughly, even more thoroughly than ordinary church deacons.” the little priest couldn’t help feeling: “sometimes I can’t help guessing that if you appeared as a priest instead of a wizard on the day we met, you might already be a candidate for the Archbishop of the Holy Cross.”
Loren, who just smiled, didn’t take the little priest’s emotion seriously.
“… but in addition to these, there is another very important reason.”
The next second, the serious little priest said in a deep voice, “that’s the meaning of the existence of the church. It’s completely different from the past.”
Completely different?
“Yes, in a strict sense, the church today is completely different from the Holy Cross Church that first appeared in East Saxony with the Dragon Queen Brunhild.” the little priest nodded:
“Believe Loren, you already know that the earliest Holy Cross Church was brought by the Dragon Queen Brunhild – moving its capital to Golovin, establishing an empire, preaching with a sword, resisting demons and eliminating evil gods… In many important historical events, the Holy Cross Church played a key role.”
“As I said before, in a sense, the church in the past was more like the ‘tool’ of the Holy Cross. It unswervingly fulfilled every proverb in the old Scripture and turned them into a ‘prophecy’ that would happen.”
The little priest’s eyes became very deep, as if he had returned to the era when the church fought with demons: “the church was very strong at that time, and even surpassed the emperor in the sky palace to a certain extent, because they gave the legitimacy of the emperor.”
“After that, only two generations later, everything was different.”
Weber, shaking his head, didn’t say any more.
He doesn’t have to go on.
With the gradual stabilization of the Empire and the gradual concentration of power to the heavenly palace and the Emperor himself, it will naturally gradually weaken the authority of the Holy Cross Church; After all, the Duke’s true allegiance was to the Empire, the emperor, not the church.
The church that established the Empire gradually became a simple link to maintain the existence of the Empire, so that the Bains and lottel had the same beliefs and values, as well as the ultimate explanation of all the problems in the world; As an organization, the church began to attach itself to the imperial power and began to turn its attention to how to ensure its own existence and seek wealth, power and influence.
Yes, just like the priest Loren once met in Gumu town… He is not so much a member of the church as a local Lord, landlord and tax official, who is responsible for collecting taxes and managing land for the church. He is no different from the count of lottel or the tax official of the imperial capital.
“But now the archbishop, Lord innocent, is extremely dissatisfied with all this.” the little priest whispered, “he is not only dissatisfied with the corruption and corruption of the church, but even wants to revive the church, let the organization return to the appearance at the beginning of the Empire and become a ‘loyal’ servant of the Holy Cross!”
“I don’t know what this is all about… But whatever it is, it shouldn’t be a good thing.”
There was a worried look in the little priest’s eyes: “not only that, at present, the Archbishop of innocent has also closed the Holy Cross Church in the imperial capital and refused to contact the outside world… This has not been heard for hundreds of years, and it must not be without reason.”
The black haired wizard who listened carefully covered up the doubt in his eyes.
“As for why I have to tell you this…” the little priest whispered, “in addition to the importance of these messages, there is also a reminder from Isaac.”
“Isaac?”
“Yes, he once talked to me about Ancient Runes – I’m a little curious, because according to him, the source of these magic is actually something from the old Sutra.”
The little priest said silently, “he told me that the ancient Rune itself represents a completely different way to understand the world, and this is the basis for contacting the void world – because it is a world without space and time, which can not be understood according to the common sense of the past.”
“This gave me some inspiration, because I found that such a set of rules also exist in the text and spelling of the old Sutra.”
The little priest who continued, completely unaware of the change in the expression of the black haired wizard in front of him: “unlike the Ancient Runes, which are full of randomness, as we have learned, the internal rules and system contained in the text of the old Sutra are as rigorous, standard and regular as its spelling, and this set of rules is very firm.”
“As a set of scriptures, every word of it seems to be chanting and praying, writing sacred and compassionate words or compassionate words.”
But… Its words are full of rationality, and even require the writer to remain focused without any emotional fluctuations, so as not to make mistakes in grammar and spelling. Even the slightest tampering may cause great differences in meaning! ”
“I, I’m not a wizard, and I don’t know how to describe the difference; but in my opinion, it’s like building a whole world and the rules of the world with words!”
“Not only that, I also read my research and Isaac, and he also agreed with this point – the text of the old Sutra is full of mysterious, rigorous and complex rules. It’s natural that I don’t want others to easily understand and contact it.
This is completely inconsistent with the original intention of any kind of writing, because writing is used to communicate and express! ”
The little priest with a slight meal said in a very positive tone: “so I came to a slightly deviant view, that is, the real function of the old Sutra, or the reason for its birth, is a new set of rules.”
“It’s a set of rules that didn’t belong to the world, never appeared, or even completely different from the current world!”
“This explains why the old Sutra is so obscure to us; why Isaac stressed that we must forget the Ancient Runes before learning it!”
“Because it is completely different, brand-new, something completely different from all the rules currently running in the world; in its rules, everything we now have is likely to be wrong and needs to be broken and destroyed; only by destroying everything and starting over from scratch…”
“Is the world that meets its rules.”
