Chapter 121: Miracles
The news of the upheaval in Morning Star reached Falan's Shadow Footsteps headquarters through layers of means less than the next day, not that Momoya failed to intercept all the intelligence sources, but that the truth was too terrifying to intercept at all (in fact, she didn't even think about stopping it).
First, a miracle happened in Morningstar City.
The crater created by the unrest a year ago – the site of the former Sacred Lake – suddenly burst into flames overnight, crumbling the nearest church and disappearing the statue of Kanrosh the Word of the Word.
The firelight lit up the entire Morning Star City, and the night sky was as bright as day, and almost all the citizens were alarmed.
After all this dust settled, a small flame suddenly rose from the place where the statue of the lake fairy had originally stood in the sacred lake, and then all the flame swallows in the pit poured into it like a nest, and the flames swayed and entangled, and finally condensed into a new red statue.
It was a handsome man in a brocade robe, his eyes were as dazzling as the sun in the sky, his hair was flowing fiery red, and the heat was swinging in circles, and ordinary people could not get close to it.
The clothes on his body happened to be gold and red, which was subtly consistent with the main color of the Morning Star royal family.
The most amazing thing is that after the flames in the pit disappeared, the original grass began to sprout and sprout...... In less than a few hours, the barren pit was transformed into a sea of flowers, and tulips bloomed like the sun.
At the same time, it was suddenly discovered that the people who had lost their hands and feet in that disaster had grown new limbs overnight!
There is no doubt that this is a miracle!
It's something that no mortal can do!
King Charles III was shocked and immediately took people to inspect the collapsed church, and then discovered an even more terrifying fact!
Almost the entire church burned down, except for the underground storage room.
However, in all the texts, wherever the name of the Word should appear, it became the Ash Duke Garton.
This is true not only of Morning Star, but also of all towns and churches outside of Morning Star, but there is no trace of modification on the paper......
The Elemental Tower, along with the Alien Fire Cult, had been uprooted, but why had this happened?
The panicked Charles III immediately contacted His Excellency Celestial Guardian Sword Saint Cleit, but the other party seemed to have expected all this for a long time, and at the same time as he asked, a long letter sent from Ghorard half a month ago arrived.
Only Charles III knew what was written in the letter, but the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty saw that after His Majesty read the letter, he repeatedly muttered a sentence in his mouth:
"Mortals can't compete with the power of the gods, and we should learn to compromise."
This became the last straw that broke the blood of Charles III.
-----------------
"I'm getting more and more fond of Charles III's stupid donkey." Teacher Zha was nagging while munching melon seeds, and a light curtain was floating in front of him.
This thing comes from the intelligence chief Ricky, although this guy didn't go to Morning Star himself, but he asked his dear Miss Momoya to record the whole process, in Mu Yan's words, this is called a documentary.
"He hates people who can only play clever, but he doesn't know that his actions are also cleverness in the eyes of others." Teacher Zha snorted.
As a Turing man, Mr. Zha has never had a good impression of the Imperials.
In fact, there is no such thing as "the canons of the Church elsewhere have been revised", which is a rumor of Charles III's own making, and after he read the letter. But the quick-witted Charles III reversed the order of the two events, which became a symbol of His Majesty's obedience to God's will in the eyes of the people.
Charles III actually doesn't care what the Morning Star people believe in, anyway, the Word of Word has not shown miracles for thousands of years, and the reason why the Church of the Word is the state religion is also because the priests they have trained are widely active in the major towns of the Morning Star, assisting the executive in their work, and will rush to the scene to rescue every time a disaster occurs, and at the same time they don't ask about state affairs.
This is the main reason why the Elemental Tower has never been able to replace it.
But now it is different, and when there is a miracle, the weight of the two changes subtly in the mind of Charles III...... After all, in the field of vision of human beings, being able to meet a god is equivalent to hugging a thick leg, not to mention that this leg also eliminated the hidden danger left by the disaster a year ago for him, how long will he wait if he doesn't hug it tightly?
That's why Mr. Zha said that he was just clever, and that he didn't use his brain at all before the big things, and if it wasn't Garden, but Ikali and her minions, he would have hugged it so enthusiastically.
"That depends on the height you stand, Mr. Zaix." Mu Yan smiled: "Charles III thinks that his son Luo Lan is a prince who can only play clever because he can see what the other party does clearly - but Luo Lan has no idea about it. Isn't this exactly the same as it is now, we can see it clearly, but he doesn't know it. ”
"Stinky boy, did you educate me instead?" Teacher Zha gave him a blank look, "Are you really not afraid of Garton's backlash?" What was that last word you said? This is an act of 'seeking skin with a tiger'. ”
"'Tiger' is a derogatory term, specifically for people with bad minds, and it cannot be used as such. I believe in Garden's loyalty to the Word of God, and though he didn't say it, I can guess why. Perhaps it was the One of the Word who rescued him and placed his body in the Temple of Avalon, between the Magic Web and Lokan, where it was perfectly safe, so that Garden was able to break free from Ikali's grasp and become the most reckless, daring, and special of the latter's minions. Out of this kindness, he would never take the initiative to do anything that was sorry for the Word One.
"Besides, now that the Word of Promise is gone, it would be a waste to put so many beliefs away, it is better to give him all his brains, but it will let him hold Ikali's hatred."
"Hmph, aren't you afraid that Ikali will let those two start a war against the Morning Star?"
"That's when Gardenton comes in." Mu Yan smiled like a fox, "What Shanes, Etus, Olaser and Zelagar...... Aren't so many free thugs enough to protect Morningstar? You can see how much he favors his followers, even in the early days of the Xenophora cult, he has never forced a single person, in the original intention of fair trade: you give me faith, I will give you strength - although he was later led astray by Mora.
"Of course, I don't expect any kind of mercy from an elemental creature to humans, but fortunately, he is a reasonable fellow, and as long as the price is clearly marked by both parties, he will not break his promise."
Teacher Zha was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I suddenly understood, it turns out that you were worried that Ikali would attack Morning Star from the beginning, so you simply pulled Garden in?" Now he can't walk away even if he wants to save effort. You kid came up with this idea? ”
"No, from Mr. Lancelot. He knew Garden well enough to trust him. ”
"That person ......" Mr. Zha suddenly fell into deep thought, and he stretched out his hand to look.
"Even now, I can't help but shudder when I face him. It's as if he has a terrible power in him, like a natural enemy to me......"
Mu Yan felt funny in his heart, he hadn't told Teacher Zha about this part yet. Mr. Lancelot seems to have inherited the power of the Soul Shaper Patunax, who is in charge of the soul, and to a necromancer, it is like a cook who must feel a shudder when he sees half of the Lord of the Stove.
"Speaking of which...... I'm still close to that adult? Teacher Zha asked.
"Well, considering the blood relationship between Miss Grace and Queen Vigna...... It seems to be. By the way, what about Miss Grace? Why doesn't she take you, the head of the family, with her when she wants to go shopping? ”
Teacher Zha smiled and didn't pick up.
The master and apprentice chatted casually for a few more words, and gradually lost the topic and returned to calm.
There is a faint repression in the calm.
After a long time, Teacher Zha spoke.
"Now that the Morning Star has begun, you should be fast on your side, right?"
Mu Yan stretched and rubbed his temples.
"yes...... It's about to start when it's on the right track. However, compared to Morning Star's posture that can quickly cut through the chaos and sweep away the heavy qi, this side is very tricky...... Jialan really has a tumor on her heart......"
"You're good at jubberish metaphors. How do I think Jialan has a heart on a tumor...... Since the battle in the Blackthorn Forest, the pure mages in this city have almost died, how many more mages with strong hearts and real strength can there be? ”
"Much more than you might think, teacher. And at the very least, the sages left their roots. ”
Mu Yan said with a smile. At first, he was so pessimistic and hopeless, but when he saw the recent performance of Serafri's students, it suddenly dawned on him that the inheritance had never been broken, but because of the tide of the times, this group of people had remained silent, so it seemed as if they had disappeared.
He looked up and looked across the roof, as if he saw the transparent barrier in the firmament.
"They left behind an enchantment, they left behind an umbrella...... Although humble, it ultimately preserves the seeds of the future. You have also seen the crystals in the ground, it is not built overnight, for more than 700 years, people have left words in it, and then disappeared...... They knew where the road leads, but they don't hesitate. ”
Teacher Zha was silent for a long time.
"But what about the arrogant guys of the Mage Guild, if even they are corrupted......"
"No, teacher, I don't think so. Originally, I thought that such a symbol of inprogress and compromise would always be corrupted, but then it occurred to me that the Silver Candle would fight against the horn of Kane...... The mages may know something, but they can't say it, so they choose to sit idly by, or even passively resist, in pessimism and a deep sense of powerlessness. They reject talented newcomers, preferring him to join the Elemental Tower than stop him...... Because they know that joining the Tower can at least save their lives, but getting talented people to join them is a point of no return.
"They have seen too many deaths without hesitation, and they have become numb, frustrated, and even tired of all this, so they passively resist, allowing the infiltration of the Elemental Tower and all kinds of attacks to hit the cotton, which is not as effective as it should be. If the contradictions between the two sides had intensified hundreds of years ago, perhaps the current six-member council would have existed in name only, and there would not be the only two remaining ones. So in terms of results, this is the most reasonable way to treat it. ”
Teacher Zha smiled helplessly, "You always like to think about the good, that Glazer guy really brought you badly." ”
"At the beginning of people, nature is good, teacher." Mu Yan smiled and patted his ass and bounced off the sofa.
"I don't think I should be so depressed at the thought of how hard Miss Cha Cha is working, and I decide to go to the workshop to supervise Dridge."
With that, he vanished.
