Chapter 50: The Crown of the Sages
After Adel left, Adam kept beckoning some xenos into the basement.
While observing these xenomorphs, Adam will also send out some tasks for them to complete.
Most of them are tasks to gather information, after all, when used as combat power, they will only attract the attention of the church.
Adam is also in contact, constantly collecting this information to determine whether the other party can be introduced into the elite organization in the future.
"There are twenty-three people in total, plus the eight people who came to the last party and didn't come this time, this is almost all the surviving xenomorphs in the southern district of Roya. ”
Adam sighed, there are far more xenomorphs in the Holy Heavenly Sound country, but at present, there are two kinds of xenomorphs gathered in Roya.
One is like Adam and wants to go to the kingdom of Lorcan, and the other is to live in Loya for a long time and plan to live here.
"Most of them are waiting for the Fourth Battle of the Northern Inquiry, or for the restoration of peace between Lorcan and Saint Heaven. "Only then will there be problems with Roya's border wall defense and they will be able to pass through," Kim said. ”
"However, it depends on fate. Adam had never thought of such a thing.
In the past 40 years, a total of three battles have been fought, the most recent one was ten years ago, but the battle of the Northern Inquiry ten years ago started quickly and ended quickly.
Peace is out of the question for now, and war doesn't seem so fast.
"What was the root cause of the last war?" Adam asked King.
With Jin's strength, perhaps his status in the Rocken Kingdom was not low at that time, and he should know some inside information.
"Merit is one thing. Jin said: "The Kingdom of Lorcan is a very 'young' country, the nobility in the country is very large, and some powerful families even have several generations of knights who have condensed their achievements. ”
"The nobles of the Holy Heavenly Sound Kingdom have been suppressed by the church relatively badly, which is why they are so ...... Rotten. Jin said: "In the kingdom of Lorcan, every year there are a large number of knights eager to gather merit. ”
"War is undoubtedly the fastest way to gather merit, and if there is no war, the knights of the country will either leave the country or make trouble in the country. ”
"For knights, it doesn't matter whether the merit is good or bad, whether it is the name of the so-called thief, murderous ghosts, etc., as long as it spreads in a region and can solidify its life force into the environment, it will be a merit. ”
"Therefore, the kingdom of Lorcan can only and must be a belligerent nation. ”
"The disappearance of Count Ronnie was a trigger, but without this trigger, war is not far off. ”
"The Third Battle of the Northern Inquiry was similar, the military was eager for war, and it happened that at that time, the Crown of the Sage appeared, so the war began. ”
"The Sage's Crown?"
"Well, an item related to the gods, it is said that the gods of man once wore it. Kim said slowly.
"When man walked on the earth, he saw the height of the sky and the breadth of the earth. ”
"He is the son of Di, tracing the traces of the ancient, and he comes to God to inquire. ”
"What is the meaning of life?" the son of Di asked God. ”
"When you put on the robe of thorns, walk the way of the river, drink the blood of the Son of Man, and put on the crown of the Sage, you will get the answer. God answered. - "The Prophet: The Chronicle of the Son of Man"
"The son of Di finally accomplished everything, put on the crown of the saint, and became the spokesman of God in the world, which the world called human gods. Kim said, "And just ten years ago, we discovered the Crown of the Sage. ”
As a result, the Church of the Sages of the Rocken Kingdom also became the main battle faction, and the Third Northern Inquiry War began. ”
"And what about the end result?" Adam became more and more intrigued, and he vaguely remembered that when he was three years old, something great had indeed happened.
"I don't know very well, the withdrawal of the Holy Church led to the third battle of the Northern Inquiry, as for the final destination of the Crown of the Sage, it is difficult to judge with the current situation, but it should not be the Holy Tianyin Kingdom that has obtained it, otherwise the Third Northern Inquiry Battle will not end so soon. ”
"But it's not like the Church of the Sages to get it, otherwise it wouldn't be the battle of the Northern Inquiry, but the Battle of the Southern Expedition. ”
When Jin was seriously injured and near death in Roya, he did not participate in the second half of the Third Northern Inquiry War, and by the time his injuries recovered, the Lorcan Kingdom had already withdrawn.
For some reason, he couldn't contact the Lorcan Kingdom, so he didn't know much about the rest of the information.
In other words, the next war will not start so quickly unless the sacred object such as the Crown of the Sage is discovered again. Adam said with certainty.
The three wars in the past 40 years, even the third time, have consumed a lot of the combat power of the two countries.
Even if there is a fourth war, it will not start in the next ten years.
Having figured out the situation of the xenomorphs one by one, Adam quickly circled the first batch of candidates, and after they completed the task, he carefully selected the talents he needed.
"You've lived in Roa for ten years, and you haven't known some powerful xenomorphs?" Adam asked.
"Powerful xenomorphs, who else has stayed here for so long, except in my special case. Jin smiled helplessly: "No one wants to live in fear." ”
"The xenomorphs in the country of Shengtianyin are either xenomorphs born in this country like Will, which were born in this country, or they are created by powerful xenomorphs infiltrated from abroad. ”
"Because the sorcerer community is strictly guarded by the church, there are not many xenomorphs converted from sorcerers. ”
"The lack of xenomorphs has also made many magicians lack materials for research, resulting in the magicians of the Holy Heavenly Sound Kingdom basically living shortly. ”
"Are you hinting at something?" Adam felt that King's final twist was a bit deliberate.
"You must know that most of the sorcerer's longevity methods are related to xenomorphs, and it can be seen from vampires that the easiest and least side effect of immortality is to plunder xenomorphs. ”
"If you are a monk who has taken a part-time job as a magician, it is very correct and natural to use xenos as the material for the 'elixir'. ”
"You're saying that Count Ronnie's disappearance was the work of Alva?" Adam thought about it and found that it was not impossible, or that it was very likely.
The time of Alva's accident is not far from the time of Count Ronnie's disappearance, and Anthony's statement that they created irreparable sins, upset the balance between the two countries, and created the fuse of war.
And when I heard the 'elixir', I felt the malice conveyed by this name, which was also related to my own bloodline.
Judging from all indications, it is very likely that the elixir was made by Alva and others, with the missing Count Ronnie.
"There are just some questions, such as why Anthony pretended to be dead and hid in the Reflection Tower, his relationship with Alva and the others seems to be very strange, and Ai's elixir. Adam felt that there were many hidden secrets in this matter.
But there seems to be no problem in using this to fool Doug into increasing investment. "Adam's original pretext was that the potion would use rare materials only available in the Lorcan Kingdom, and encouraged Doug to intervene in the smuggling industry.
Now it seems that persuasion in the name of xenomorphism will be more powerful and credible.
"You're not surprised, have you guessed?" asked King, "judging by your age, the missing Count Ronnie may be your uncle or something." ”
"It's very likely that Alva exchanged his life for immortality, aren't you going to say something?"
"I don't know the earl, in fact I don't know my father. Adam said indifferently, "My purpose now is to leave the Sacred Sound, Alva they are a force to be relied upon, that's all." ”
"If necessary, I'll use this identity. Adam looked at it calmly: "Besides, this matter is still in a state of speculation. ”
Until there is substantial evidence to back them up, these speculations will only be speculation, although as it stands, this is the most likely.
Vaguely, Adam senses that he has been approaching Alvar and Anthony too well, and luck often seems to be on his side when dealing with Alva and Anthony.
Anthony was also a little too intimate with him, and it all seemed to tell something.
