Chapter 249: The Origins and Drawbacks of Magic
Spencer thought about it, but still answered the Pope's question first, and said: "Your Majesty the Pope, I think we should raise the Holy Guard again and completely destroy the soul mound." ”
The pope did not comment on Spencer's answer, and asked the others, "What do you think?" ”
Holy Knight Captain Lancelot was the first to reply: "My subordinates also think so, the soul mound has entered the evil path, and it has killed countless living beings over the years, which is not conducive to the stability of our divine kingdom, and the catastrophe is coming, so we should first eliminate the unstable factors." ”
Klaus, the director of the Inquisition, said: "They should be burned to death." ”
At this time, a cardinal archbishop stood up and said, "Your Majesty the Pope, I think we should establish friendship with the Soul Tomb to leave a way back." ”
The cardinal's name was Brian, and he hesitated to say so.
As soon as these words came out, the other clergy in the church all looked at him, some glaring angrily, some thoughtful.
The scene became very strange for a while.
There is a reason for such disagreement, and that is about the origin of the Soul Tomb, as well as the origin of the current magic and fighting energy system of the Kingdom of God.
Just after the Dark Ages had passed, the Western Continent had not yet been unified at that time, and there were very few cultivators.
At that time, two peerless geniuses appeared, discovered a special law that remained in the world, and after enlightenment, jointly created the cultivation system of the current Western Continent.
One created Dou Qi, the other created magic, and the two geniuses also cultivated each other's systems and verified them against each other, but at the same time, they were convinced that what they had created was the strongest system.
A few years later, with the great strength of the two and the followers gathered by teaching magic and fighting spirit, they unified the Western Continent and named it the Holy Empire.
The genius who created the vindictive spirit was named Jon, who was more cheerful and had a good relationship with anyone, and he became the first pope of the Holy Empire.
And the magical genius Mebis is not jealous, she is not interested in power, she just wants to devote herself to the study of magic and explore the abyss of the magic path.
In the first two hundred years of the Holy Empire's founding, it developed extremely fast and flourished, with academies opening in various parts of the empire to teach magic and vindictiveness.
But soon problems arise, and Mebis is the first to find out, and the problem makes her unbearable!
She found that both magic and Dou Qi were extremely fast to cultivate, and if she was a gifted person, it would not be difficult to cultivate to the ninth order within fifty years, comparable to the powerhouse of the Eastern Creation Realm.
In this sense, she was very proud of the magic she had created, but as time went on, problems began to arise.
At that time, she had already cultivated to the thirteenth order, and she could be said to be the strongest in the magic department, but what she couldn't bear was that she actually began to get old!
She was only three hundred and thirty-one years old at the time, and if she was placed in the cultivation system of the East, she would be a young person at all, but she had a strength comparable to that of the Immortal Monarch of the East, but it was difficult to resist aging!
After that, she frantically conducted a lot of research, and as a result, she was desperate to find that although she practiced extremely fast, whether it was magic or fighting spirit, she could only gain strength, but could not increase her longevity.
Even if she had thirteenth-order strength, she could only live for a thousand years at most, which was not as good as a small Nirvana Realm cultivator in the East!
When she found this, she also thought about changing to the cultivation system of the East, but she was not reconciled, she was so proud, thinking that the magic system she had created was perfect, and it was impossible for Shouyuan to find a solution to the matter.
So she left the capital of the Holy Empire and went alone to explore the abyss of the demonic path, trying to find a way out.
She realized the power of the laws left by the dark ages in the world, and verified it through a large number of tests, and came to a conjecture that the creatures of the huge void post-world should be immortal, so why can't she be?
Is it because I am just the surface of the law, or is it because the species of living beings are different?
After that, she did a lot of experiments, and finally in the year when her life was about to end, she discovered the mystery of life, and she found a way to replenish her life and restore her youth.
In the same year, the living soul of a county in the northern part of the Holy Empire died, and a force called the Soul Tomb was born.
At that time, Pope Jon, who was also in his twilight years, was very angry when he heard the news, and despite the dissuasion of his subordinates, he personally went out to destroy the soul mound.
But when he saw Mebis, he was stunned, he hadn't seen him for more than six hundred years, and the other party was still the beautiful appearance he remembered, even younger and more energetic, and at the same time he was also desperate, he didn't expect that the founder of the soul mound was actually his best friend.
He lost the battle because he had gone alone, but Mebis probably didn't kill him because he thought he didn't have a few years to live.
When Jon returned, he made the next pope and instructed him to destroy the Soul Tomb, and he died a year later.
However, millions of years have passed, and the Holy Empire has become more and more prosperous, and those who have broken through the tenth order of magic and fighting spirit do not know the ordinary, but they still have not been able to get rid of the soul tomb.
Except for the strange whereabouts of the soul mound, the strength of each soul is extremely powerful, and it is difficult to defeat unless the power of the country is cleared.
Because those evil people, because they can replenish Shouyuan, they can impact a higher realm of magic or fighting spirit, and after so many years, their strength has become more and more unfathomable.
Except for the thirteenth, when the genius pope was in office, he pressed the soul mound and did not dare to be born, in other periods, the soul mound was very rampant.
Faced with Brian's answer that he would hand over the soul mound, the Pope slowly spoke.
"Tell me your reasoning."
The Pope's voice was inaudible, but Brian grew more and more frightened.
"Because it is said that the soul mound can be linked to the existence of that world, in case ...... When the time comes, we will have a chance to survive. ”
Brian stiffened, and the other priests were also eye-catching.
Although I don't know if it's true or not, if the soul mound really has a way, it's a back road.
The Pope slowly got up and sighed: "You may not understand, in the face of the final calamity, the soul mound is the same, besides, in order to live, if you fall into the evil way, God will cry......"
As soon as the Pope's words came out, many people present changed color, knowing that the Pope was beating them, especially the clergy who had just agreed with Brian's words.
There are also those who feel very ashamed, who have been studying in seminaries since childhood, and as clergy, they are naturally faithful, and they feel sorry for the evil thoughts they have just had.
The Pope said, stepping down the steps, walking up to Brian and continuing: "...... Sinners who make God weep, damn it. ”
