Chapter 2 Come to the Bowl!
Alfred is in his seventies, and he has been the leader of the wizarding world since he inherited the title of Grand Magician more than twenty years ago. As the most respected great magician on the continent today, it is under his organization that many magicians can survive under the sweep of the Holy Light Sect.
The Holy Light Sect and the mages have been fighting on the El Continent for hundreds of years, and the two sides have been back and forth for hundreds of years, so the two sides are also evenly matched, and they know each other. The balance was upset a decade ago in a movement known as jihad.
The Cult of Light has unleashed his true power, and it is also a force that has been overlooked by the magicians - the people. Under the ventilation and suppression of countless people, the magician has become a rat crossing the street. It was then that the magician was truly hidden.
In the face of the aggressive Light Cult, and the death of countless companions. Alfred inherited his master's research and set a goal to decipher the power of the Light, on which the Light Cult depended most. Only by cracking the power of the Holy Light can the Holy Light Cult be fundamentally dismantled.
After that, Alfred began to wander the continent incognito. By chance, I arrived at Ouranos's house. Because the elder Ouranos appreciated Alfred's status as a magician, Alfred also agreed to stay in Ouranos to teach magic and research.
However, one day his whereabouts were revealed, and Alfred had no choice but to flee from Ammousie and hide in the Kingdom of Danone. But in the intervening decade, Alfred and Sebastian's private collaboration has not been severed. After all, the Ouranos family is a thousand-year-old family, and many unknown secrets are hidden in the Ouranos family's book collection. And that's what Alfred desperately needs.
"That's right, a key." Alfred looked up, his eyes flickering. "A key to heaven."
Alan looked at Alfred in surprise and said, "Kingdom of Heaven, does it really exist?" ”
Alfred nodded and said, "I didn't know before, but I read through the history books and learned that the door of heaven has been opened twice in hundreds of years. One was the time of the Sun King thousands of years ago, and the other was hundreds of years ago when the Holy See was founded. ”
"Teacher, do you know what the purpose of the church is, and why do you want to open the gates of heaven?"
Faced with Allen's question, Alfred shook his head in distress and sighed: "I don't know this secret, maybe only the Pope can know." ”
"Humph!" Alan snorted lightly and said with a slight mockery: "I guess it's nothing more than some plan to establish a kingdom of heaven on earth, it seems that the god who the church boasts like a dead man who has no desires and no desires is just a layman like us." ”
"Layman? That's a good parable! Alfred laughed out loud when he heard Alan's analogy.
Alan pursed his lips and asked impatiently, "Teacher, don't talk about these things that are not there, tell me how you solved the power of the Holy Light of the church?" ”
Although Alan was in a hurry, Alfred was clearly calm. Unhurriedly, he said, "Alan, I heard that you have been doing well these days." ”
"So-so, I'm having a hard time right now." Alan said with an eyebrow raised.
Alfred smiled like an old fox.
"It's okay for LeBlanc to be by your side, I heard you guys worked well together."
"I said why is the world so chaotic now, it turned out that you were the one who shot it from behind. The last time I fought with Moslian, Xiuwen suddenly broke out with a wave of lost soldiers, it should be your magician's ghost. And the magician next to George VI. What the hell are you guys up to? Alan grumbled.
"That's right, it's the magician's hand." Alfred nodded and admitted, "But you can't blame us for that, after all, there's no time." ”
"What's wrong? Are you going to die? Alan asked with a frown.
"Stinky boy! You're going to die! Alfred glared at Allen.
"Isn't that what you yourself said you didn't have time?" Alan said aggrievedly.
Alfred shook his head and said solemnly: "Now that you know that the Kingdom of Heaven exists, and that the power of the Holy Light is the key to open the door to the Kingdom of Heaven, then you should also know what to do next. ”
Alan regained his solemn expression and asked, "Is it really so fast?" How much longer? ”
"Not much, just in two years. You see, that old guy in Gregory has already begun to use his knife against the nobles. Over the years, we magicians have been looking for spokesmen everywhere, trying to support the nobility against the church. But none of them succeeded. Now it seems that the power of the magician is too weak, and I underestimate the power of the church. ”
Alfred's face suddenly appeared a little old, he vowed to overthrow the church, but he didn't expect that he had achieved nothing for decades.
"Teacher, although you are superb in magic and wisdom, you are still a little tender in politics." Alan plucked his ears and said lightly.
"Oh? How so? Alfred looked at him suspiciously.
Alan chuckled and said, "You are not underestimating the power of the church, but the power of the nobility. It is not the church that has ruled the continent for thousands of years, not the magicians, but the nobles who have been passed down by blood. The power possessed by the nobles, neither the magicians nor the church, could be matched. It is a force that is rooted in the continent and recognized by the whole continent. This power is called aristocracy. ”
Alan stood up, walked to the window with his hands behind his back, and looked at the blue sky. said with emotion: "When the whole continent tacitly acknowledges that the aristocracy should enjoy the power of power, no one can be above the aristocracy. The Church changed the Kingdom of Dominiz to ********, which seemed to be imposing. In fact, it is a dead end. It's okay when there is no weakness, as long as it shows a flaw, it is immediately the object of all aristocratic struggles. If you take this move, either the church will eliminate the aristocracy and unify the continent, or it will be defeated by the aristocracy and the century-old foundation will be destroyed. ”
Alfred pondered quietly for a while, and suddenly said, "I see. So we magicians should gather our strength and wait for the church to show its flaws? ”
However, Alan shook his head at this time and said, "If it was before, it was indeed possible." But not anymore. Although the power of the nobles on the continent was huge, it was not brought into play. Originally, the power of a continent was divided into seven parts by the seven great powers, and then it was divided into countless small pieces. And the church is still planning to call the gate of heaven to find foreign help, and a bad one may really make it turn the tables. Therefore, at this time, the magician should choose a person and help him integrate the power of the nobles. In this way, we can confront the church. ”
"So who do you think would be the right fit?" Suddenly, a clear voice came from Alfred's side.
"Of course it's me!" Alan pointed back at himself with his thumb back, and said still unyieldingly.
"You're really not modest at all." Alice looked at Alan's shameless appearance and said with disdain.
Alan didn't care, picked up a map from his desk and spread it out in front of Alfred and Alice. "Looking at the whole world, the Kingdom of Arras is too far to be counted on, and the Kingdom of Parmalat is a group of steppe barbarians. The royal family of the Moslian Empire is fighting, and the three families of the Danone Kingdom are not working together. The vitality of the Anmuxi Kingdom was greatly damaged, and the Luolin Kingdom was even more precarious. Among the many princes, my Ouranos family is the strongest, and it is also the friendliest to you magicians. If you don't help me, who else can you help? ”
Seeing Alan pointing out the country in front of him, Alfred suddenly felt old.
After Alan finished speaking, he looked at Alfred quietly, he knew that he had handed an olive branch to the magician, and once he received the magician's power, he could get a qualitative leap.
"You say a good thing, and I believe you. But although I am a great magician, I don't have the authority to command other magicians, so if you want the power of magicians, you need to find it yourself. I can't help you. ”
Alfred looked at Alan apologetically, expecting Alan to be disappointed, but Alan looked excited. Soon, Alan handed over a stack of papers to Alfred.
Alfred looked down and saw that it read "Basic Opinions on the Regulations for the Conduct of Wizards and the Formation of the Wizards' Guild". (To be continued.) )
