Volume 2 The Stars Are Bright Chapter 65 Tacit Understanding
At this time, Diaxun looked far more embarrassed than he had been after the battle with Osiris, he only looked like he had exhausted his strength at that time, but now he looked dying.
The blood that bathes in his body is not stained by others, but flows from his own body.
The lords of the Moyin Province were alarmed by such a major event, and they hurried to this side for their own introspection. The Pope's Imperial Body was naturally protected at the first time, and the Sea Temple, which usually seemed very lazy and lazy, reacted extremely quickly this time, and was completely activated almost the first second the message was delivered to his hand.
Only a few hours later, before it was twilight, the man who seemed to have a body of steel woke up, his eyebrows and eyes opened without much emotion, and then closed them again, giving instructions in a flat tone. The bishop who was standing beside the Pope did not say a word, but only got up silently to carry it out, and it was only after half an hour that the news that the Pope had awakened reached the ears of Lord Moin.
In order to take care of the Pope, the Lord of Moyin temporarily moved all his office space to this small border town, and his living room was not luxurious, in a bungalow not far from the chapel.
"Who hurt you like this?" the lord of the province of Moyin came to Dial-chan's side and asked a question that seemed to be too poor in reality.
Diaxun smiled, not knowing if there was a hint of sarcasm in it: "Where I came from, I was naturally hurt by someone somewhere." ”
"Terran magicians, shouldn't be able to go through a few rounds of your men, wouldn't you kill them at will? ”
"I didn't bother with them too much in order to hurry back, and besides, I was also an uninvited villain, but they were here to protect their homeland. Is there any reason to kill?"
"Your Excellency. ”
As the two spoke, the paperwork had already been presented to Annu VII's desk, and he was speechless when he saw the three holy artifacts on the list.
Tavasis stood at the foot of the steps, waiting for the Emperor's final decision.
"I think ......" Anu looked at it several times, as if he was a little entangled in his heart, "this battle is not impossible to fight." ”
"Your Majesty, Osiris is probably more powerful than you can imagine, and I don't think it's a bad thing for us to exchange three holy things for peace. At a time when both the Realm of Kings and the Tears of the Stars are about to return, retaining strength is the most important thing. Tavasis discouraged.
Annu nodded to show that he understood the truth: "I understand your thoughts, but I think that if you hand over these three things, it will help others regain their strength." Although we can't use these things, at least they don't fall into the hands of others. ”
"On the side of the Great Wall in the north, Umash is still hanging by a thread relying on the Great Array. The power of the Nine Pillars God is too much beyond that of ordinary saints, even if the Flame Sun Sage has the ability to pass through the heavens and latitudes, it is still with the help of the Elf Queen that he has stabilized his vitality. Tawasis deliberately made a lot of emphasis on Umash's situation, so as to put relatively mild pressure on the emperor who was still unaware of the situation on the mainland.
On the side of the Black Cliff Forest, several adjudicators were following Diagao, with different expressions, but they all felt unworthy for the Adjudicator.
"Alright, go back. Diagao felt the peculiar fungal smell in the air of the Black Cliff Forest, and turned back to these comrades and smiled.
"We'll drop you off at the accommodation and go. The man at the head said.
Diagao shook his head, "It's not worth sacrificing your future for me." ”
The Judgment Kings of the past generations actually feel similar to Pope Diaxun, but in the evolution of the world, this dark leader has been infected with a bit of horror and evil. In many places, this organization is used to scare children, but in the case of children who have not actually met the adjudicator, such words are not much different from the deterrent effect of "the wolf is coming".
But in fact, just as Di Yaxun is not really as cold as people's first impression, and a gloomy person is not a good judge.
Diaco looked at the adjudicators in front of him who had been following him for a long time, and all that was a wry smile appeared on his face.
Anyone should be upset about such a thing, but there is no way, he is not an indispensable existence, so he can only return to the forest originally founded by this adjudicator as an old man who remembers the past.
Although he is not very old.
Andy once walked through the Black Cliffs with his young children, pointing to the dry and hideous trunks of the trees that told the story of the past.
Once upon a time when the forest was still abundant, several knights with righteous hearts were surrounded and suppressed by vicious men. Before the final battle, they drew their swords and put them together, swearing that Wei Guowang would shed the last drop of blood, and even if he died, he would never let evil spread.
The battle was so tragic that the valiant warriors were left with only three monuments that still stand. The protracted killings slowly dimmed the blood from red to black, and the corpses attracted countless crows, which was the origin of the later Adjudicators.
Now that things are wrong, the young man who once led the children gently and elegantly has later become the king of cold and selfless judges. Later, he inexplicably became a monarch killer.
The cruel look in the eyes of the man who was like a brother and father when he left made Diagao unable to let go of it to this day.
Why do people have so many sad changes when they grow up?
Atlantis is located in the middle of the continent, and its sphere of influence spreads from the impact plains surrounded by two rivers. From a macro perspective on the entire map, it is roughly divided into three levels.
On the plateau east of Avalon, where snow lotus blooms all year round, the raging Thaiventis River is split in two when it encounters the so-called Sacred Sword Mountain, and the two rivers surround a fertile plain and merge downstream, eventually merging into the ocean in the southwest of the continent.
This is the mother river of the continent, and its length is far greater than people think. The rivers in the two river basins are always not turbulent and anxious, which should be the most core area of the entire continent, who occupies this vast and fertile plain, who is the master of this continent.
For hundreds of thousands of years, since the ancient elves came to dominate this place, it has been the center of culture and economy, witnessing the change of kingship and the fall of the empire, all the beauty and filth, and every inconspicuous stone is telling the vicissitudes of time.
Therefore, both sides of the plain are naturally the most important areas of Atlantis, and the area with this as the core is directly ruled by the emperor, and the powerful military force and advanced magical research have made the Annu royal family really shine like the sun.
Beyond that, there is the central part of the outer circle, which is mostly a mix of hills and plains, and rarely high mountains. Because of their special features, the differences in resources are also very obvious, and the most fertile nearly ten territories have been divided by the former pillar country clan, of course, only four pillar country clans still exist, and the territory has become a lot smaller.
But even so, the surname of the Pillar Kingdom is still the same as that of the Prince, and in the case that other royal nobles are not allowed to hold high-ranking positions, the four Pillar States can be regarded as the most powerful people in this empire except for the emperor. And according to some rumors, unless the head of the Pillar Country dies in battle suddenly, it will always be at the level of a grandmaster, and there are only a handful of families that can achieve this level, even the prestigious immortal bird is difficult to do. In addition to the pillars, the Bafang Town Tower is also in this area.
And beyond that, there is the chaotic periphery of the empire, which is actually more fertile than the central part of the world, if you look at it purely by topography or historical remnants.
If more than two saints were killed in the intensity of a battle, there is a high probability that the local landscape will be profoundly affected for a long time. For example, the Dum Gobi and the Black Cliff Forest, these fierce and unorthodox existences are the wounds left by the war on the earth.
Of course, even if it is the death of a saint, the real damage to the continent can still be regarded as minimal, and the area affected in the Black Cliff Forest, where two lichs and three saints died together, is only a radius of a few hundred miles.
In the periphery of the empire, because there were often wars or small-scale frictions, the people could be said to live unsafely, and over time, those who could afford it would move to the center as much as possible, which created the stereotype that the outer parts of the empire were starving and the people were struggling to make a living.
The most famous on the outside are the Great Wall of the North and the Temple of the South, although the Great Wall is actually close to the northwest of the empire, and the temple is in the southeast of the empire, but these do not affect their title as the leader of the party.
Looking through all the history books, in fact, you will feel that Atlantis is thriving in the thousand-year-old state, and all the huge losses are also due to the general trend and traces.
But now that such a complicated situation has suddenly appeared, of course, it will be strange to the emperor who does not eat the fireworks of the world and the commoners who can only struggle to survive.
It's just that since there is a so-called mainstay, it means that there has been such a group of people since ancient times, and they bear the pressure from above and below at the same time, and they can see the widest field of vision but the position is a little awkward.
They tend to see it thoroughly.
They may not understand the specific joints, but all the undercurrents in the world pass through their ankles, and the wind blows by the rising sun raises their hair.
They have already experienced the abrupt situations that seem to adults and civilians alike, so they have a sharper sense of smell for many things that are about to happen than most ordinary people.
However, the phrase meat eater despises also expresses a deep helplessness in most cases, and the big people are not blindfolded by the shelf.
Therefore, for thousands of years, all the tower masters and Pope Pontiffs of the Sea will hide their identities and appearances and walk the world, so that they can get close to the suffering of the common people in the world, and not be arrogant and do some bastard things.
Tavasis had never felt the tower so empty, and the magic crystals in the dark room did not cast a glimmer.
He sat upright in his chair with his hands crossed on the table, his expression unwavering, but only he knew how hesitant he was at the moment.
More than a hundred years ago, when he had just broken through the Magister with an extremely young and strong attitude, it was the time when Diaxun became famous, and for the first time in his life, he crossed the border to kill the Magister of the Deep Sea Clan in the form of a great mage.
Since then, Dialson and Tavasis have been called the twin stars of the Empire.
But in fact, Tawasis was also a very proud man when he was young, and he had the contemptuous attitude of a literati towards other things, but he disguised it well and appeared to be too modest.
He felt that it was really a matter for the Riba people to come forward in person to fight for life and death, and he didn't think that Diaxun could be listed with him. He studied almost any subject and had an excellent memory and knew everything. Such a genius combined with Shang Separation, he has advanced by leaps and bounds in the study of magic, and he has surpassed most teachers in learning just when he was studying in the inner courtyard.
And with his own genius and reasoning, he restored the long-lost "arcane" magic that belonged to a mourning tribe. It's indescribable, it's magic, but it's unmatched by any elemental magic. This kind of extremely difficult discipline that anyone can cultivate, it is already very difficult to comprehend just by comprehending it, not to mention that he still thinks about it from a description of a few words. This may be more difficult for him than to create it himself, after all, everyone who has met him has been impressed by his imagination and creativity.
He single-handedly advanced the academic research of the entire tower for thousands of years.
Anything reaches a certain level of bottleneck, secular school academic papers will have fewer things to study, a large number of papers are repetitive, but writing a thesis to graduate is still a hard requirement. This doesn't really help academically.
For a long time, the Tower was like this, and the magic produced was as little valuable as it once was, and most of it was only a slight modification of the foundation of its predecessors in an attempt to get by.
You can't blame the students entirely, after all, the amazing predecessors seem to have exhausted their words, and in the top academic halls, this little bit of creativity is the only indicator that distinguishes the inferior from the inferior.
The emergence of Tavasis not only brought about great changes in the disciplines of formation law, arcane mathematics, golemology, etc., but also created countless new topics that can be discussed, especially the arcane, which is fascinating.
So no matter what direction you look at, he seems to have the qualifications to look down on everyone else. Everyone thought that it was a sure thing for him to become a sage.
At one point, he thought that there was no book he couldn't read—only what he didn't want to read, and nothing he couldn't do—only what he didn't want to do. To be omniscient is to be omnipotent, a motto that is still engraved on his ring today.
But this time he couldn't understand what the ugly creatures standing on the opposite side of him were trying to do, and he was confident that what he could see could be solved, but at the same time he was convinced that there must be something he didn't see.
He used to be very conceited, even if he was hit hard by Di Yaxun when he was a teenager, he was still very confident. But since meeting Muen, it seems that everyone's life trajectory has begun to change, and this suffering child is like a whirlpool, changing the shape of everyone who comes close.
If it is said that the good side is shown in Diaxun, and he gradually regains some of his former appearance, then in himself it is obviously the opposite side.
He didn't care that his power was questioned and constrained, and as a very pure scholar, although he also knew the hearts of the people and could use them, he did not spend too much energy in this area. If it weren't for the old tower master entrusting him with the tower, he probably wouldn't have taken over this position—not to mention paying such a big price.
In his opinion, all the aristocratic officials are just foxes and fake tigers, and the so-called rights that have been given are actually as light and thin as sandpaper, which will be torn apart when the wind blows.
When one day the people at the bottom can't stand their actions, these fools will know how stupid they are.
Only the wisdom transformed into knowledge can become the right of the world that will never be eliminated and replaced.
So he didn't care about those gossips and sarcasm from the bottom of his heart, but just made a lot of measures to maintain the stability of the complex collection of people's hearts.
Of course, these things that can hold him back can occasionally make him a little irritated, because it can make his work not go well.
A few days later, Di Yaxun finally arrived in the imperial capital, and the agile senior mages could feel that the injuries on his body were still not light, and the overall aura was thirty percent lower than the peak.
"Osiris's opinion is hard to accept, Pope. Annu sat on the throne, his tone tinged with reproach. This can't be blamed on the emperors of the world, after all, in the past, the Pope has always only taken advantage of the sky, but this time it is no longer in the past, and it will indeed make people feel a big gap.
Diaxun smiled a little self-deprecatingly and said, "To be honest, if it hadn't been for the Elf King's timely appearance, I would have died there." The Lord of the Underworld has now become the first demigod in the Overworld for tens of thousands of years, far more powerful than anyone I could have imagined. ”
Hearing this, King Anu frowned, the realm of demigods was too far away from him, and he couldn't even imagine the greatness of that realm. He glanced at Tavasis as if asking for help, and Tavasis shook his head, signaling that the Great Array of Towers might not be able to stop it.
This is the tacit understanding of the two saints, even if they do not communicate privately, they still invariably say that the opponent is stronger, because they know that this war is worthless. And the impact that the next Kings Realm can have on the various forces competing for the Tears of the Stars is huge. Needless to say, the value of the tears of the stars is true, if what the legend says is true, then Diaxun has the confidence to hold this thing and cross the border to hammer and blast three osiris.
"In that case...... Just do what the two saints say. Annu crossed his fingers and sighed heavily, as if he was unwilling to pay the price to make peace as the emperor of Atlantis.
"And where is the Eye of Horus?" asked Diashon.
Annu shook her head. "I don't know. ”
When Mu En woke up again, it was already in a cave, it was dark, and there was not even a light, and Mu En could only barely feel that there was someone around him who was tied to him.
"Simon?" Muen called out twice tentatively, and the person next to him let out a slight snort.
"My lord, why did you come in too?" Simon seemed to finally come to his senses after a long time, and after some exchange, he sighed.
"Didn't I come to save you, but that sorcerer was too powerful. ”
"You're talking about Barton?"
"I don't know him, but I do know it's the sorcerer who chased us that day. ”
"That's him, we're really out of luck. And...... If you're caught, I'm not far from death. ”
"Why?"
"Because the mouth owes. ”
In the north of the empire, Ansher got the news from the front and rushed back to the Great Wall as fast as he could, and was relieved to see that his father was safe and sound.
Sitting opposite Umash, the archangel was obviously still very young, unable to imagine the destructive power that that realm could bring, even if he had a wisp of true intent, but the power of floating and appearance was still far from the true power visible to the naked eye.
"How can he hurt you to this extent, you're not ......"
When Umash heard this, he smiled at his son and said, "My injuries are not as serious as they are rumored, but more to show some gesture to the king. Otherwise, your majesty, though not young, is likely to choose an unwise way for the sake of vain glory—but in the end, it is true that Nubis's fighting power is stronger than I thought, and my use of true intentions is far from reaching the upper limit of what can be achieved. ”
"If so, can you?"
Ansher asked, and Umash already knew what he was trying to say and shook his head.
"Nubis is a saint with a spell circuit, and the power of the Nine Pillars God has always been among the best in any era, even if I reach the peak, if I catch the right fight, I will not be able to distinguish the winner from him. ”
Hearing this, Ansher suddenly smiled: "Can't tell the winner?
Umash laughed heartily, with some confidence.
"Anyway, I have a light and dark twin. ”
After a few days at the Great Wall of the North, Ansher returned to his family. Once again, he stepped onto the family's historic stone path, and his identity was completely different from what it used to be, and the shining family crest was unique and highlighted his high status.
Princess Sogetsu didn't care about such a sudden tiring journey, but seemed very happy because she could walk more places. Among all those who come into contact with him, including his subordinates, there is a lot of understanding. And she is not as self-reliant as the nobles of the empire - she is quite good at doing everything herself. When she arrives in a new place, she is always very gentle and casual, in short, her every action can reflect the upbringing and bearing that the elf princess should have.
Ansher left Avalon with her, and although they had only been together for a year, they still knew that the princess was quite lively, but she would be a little shy when she suddenly arrived in an unfamiliar environment, so she seemed a lot quieter.
Of course, a person's cultivation can only be seen in the way he treats others and in his daily life. And there is no doubt that His Royal Highness Sozuki is very good in these aspects, and it is not just pretending like some noble descendants.
It is also thanks to the fact that His Highness is very peaceful now, so that this great envoy can have time to think about something that is not pleasant.
