Chapter 10: The Conflict between Wizards and the Church

The cooking technique of this era was as simple as salt, but fortunately, the fish was pure and wild, and the meat was of excellent quality. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info plus Snow basically didn't eat anything in the past two days, so he felt that the fish soup was delicious, and he ate half a small fish, and drank three bowls of clear soup in a row to be considered enjoyable.

Compared with Snow's gobbling, Yalian, who was sitting opposite, looked more elegant.

Raising his hand and wiping his mouth roughly, Snow asked: "By the way, Yalian, I really don't see where your so-called black magic is evil, the church can take you for its own use, why bother so much to carry out hoarse negative propaganda to the world, and try every means to classify you as devils?" ”

If the church had included wizards who knew the dark arts into the church from the beginning, Yarlian and they would definitely join without hesitation. You know, the people of the church have a much higher status than the nobles of the kingdom, and being able to join the church is the highest honor of the common people in this era. Snow really couldn't figure out why the church was so disgusted with wizards that they had to kill them all.

"Have you done anything that is detrimental to the interests of the church?"

Yalian shook her head, "Many of us used to be believers in the church, how could we do things that would damage the church. Moreover, the power of the Church is enormous, and we wizards are scattered all over the place, and it is undoubtedly our own death to take the initiative to oppose them. ”

"Why is that? There has to be a reason, right? ”

"The reason is simple." Yalian smiled bitterly, "You remember what I told you about the exorcism array arranged by the church, right? ”

"Remember, you said that the exorcism circle stores the magic of the church mage, and once the wizard's breath is detected, it will show a white light, right?" Snow said.

"That's right, the reason why the exorcism array shows white light is because the light magic in the array is actively attacking us." Yaren said: "In other words, the black magic in our wizards' bodies is the opposite of the magic mastered by the church mages, once we come into contact with each other, the magic in our bodies will attack each other uncontrollably, just like fire and water meet, and no one can tolerate anyone." ”

Snow suddenly realized that it was not that the church did not want to accept wizards for their own use, but that the two were born rivals, and water and fire were incompatible.

"Because of this, the church is fighting you?" Snow frowned, this is a little too unreasonable.

"According to my father, it was because a wizard went to great lengths to go to Bisbourg Cathedral for worship. But in front of the church, because the black magic on his body suddenly became uncontrollable, he damaged the statues of the gods in front of the church, and wounded more than a dozen judges. It was only then that the sorcerers were taken seriously by the Church, and began to preach that we were the minions of the devil who had been tempted to fall into hell and began to hunt and slaughter us. ”

After listening to Yalian's words, Snow nodded slightly. The church represents the gods, who defend their interests in the name of God. The emergence of a new force like wizards made them feel threatened. It also has the power of magic, if the church doesn't intervene to suppress the wizards. One day, there will be wizards who form forces against the church, and the church only allows itself to exercise divine authority, and since the wizards cannot be used for their own purposes, they can only be erased.

"It's so stinky." Snow held back a foul sentence for a long time.

Yalian couldn't help but smile and glanced at Snow, "You are the first one who dares to insult the civilians of the church." ”

"In the future, under my leadership, there will be more and more." Snow said with a serious expression: "Since our Rook Town has been abandoned by the church and the Kingdom of Treasures, I plan to lead the residents, and of course persecuted wizards like you, to establish our own territory. ”

"Build your own territory?" Yarlian was shocked by Snow's words, which even many wizards would not dare to say.

"That's right, where there is oppression, there is resistance, I don't believe in God and gods, I don't believe in the devil, I only believe in myself." Snow began to brainwash Arlene, "Since they don't give us a way to live, why should we wag our tails and beg for mercy on them." If you trust me, please join me, in your own strength and wisdom, to live well, and better than those pretentious churches and nobles. ”

These words had a great impact on Arlene, and after looking at Snow for a long time, she spoke, "Are you sure you want to embark on this path of confrontation with the church kingdom?" Do you know how powerful they are? ”

"At most, it's just going to the gallows, how much worse can it be than the situation we are in now?" Snow smiled slightly.

"You're right, I'm willing to help you with all my might, for the sake of Rook Town, and for myself." Yalian said in a solemn tone.

"Thank you very much." Snow replied sincerely that the iron ore was available, and now with the help of Yalian, he could implement his own iron-making and steel-casting plan.

But before that, Snow has one more urgent thing to do, and that is to reinforce the walls of Rooktown. In a little while, hordes of hungry beasts from the mountains will come to Rook Town to catch food for the winter. Animals, like humans, will do their best to survive, and the beasts of this time are also the most ferocious. Only by relying on strong and tall walls could they survive.

"Snow, with all due respect, relying on the existing walls, we can't withstand the attacks of wild beasts." Araine had apparently thought of something with Snow. She had previously taken refuge in the endless mountains and forests in order to escape the pursuit of the Inquisitors. Regarding the number and difficulty of the beasts in the mountains and forests, Yalian has a deep understanding and has the most right to speak.

"You're right, reinforcing the fence is the top priority right now." Snow nodded, "I've figured out a solution, it should work, but I need your help." ”

"It's an honor." Yalian smiled and said, now that they are their own people, Yalian is naturally willing to contribute. And if she only lets Yalian eat and not work, she will also be very uneasy.

"Okay, then I'll be straight to the point." Snow knew that not far west of Rook Town was a huge sandy field. However, the sandy area is relatively low-lying and has perennial waterlogging. Snow needed Jarnine to use her magical flame to steam the watery sand dry.

"Steamed dry sand?" Yalian frowned and asked again in disbelief.

"yes, I need lots and lots of sand." Snow nodded earnestly.

"But as far as I know, sand doesn't do anything to build walls, especially dry sand." Although Yalian is not a craftsman, she also knows that sand is flowing water, and building a wall with sand is tantamount to a fool's dream, as long as you are not a fool, you can understand this truth.

Snow looked out the window, turned his head and smiled, "How about I tell you a story?" ”
