The beginning and end of every era are accompanied by blood and corpses, and the victorious side is called the pioneer and the pioneer, and the losing side is generally hung with the derogatory title of conservative and decadent; However, although the names are different, the color of the blood shed is the same, and the vivid red watered the earth and the river, ushering in a new era - and the Sacred Age is no exception!

Beginning with the decay of the bishops in the regions at the end of the period, which led to frequent riots, although there was a repression by the knights and black-clad priests, when a drought swept through Lorante, it was like the last straw that crushed the whole camel, and the whole Lorante fell into chaos - the victims of hunger and anger turned their eyes to the richly dressed, still well-fed and luxurious church; When the first church was breached, burned, and a large amount of food was found, it was immediately like a fuse, and churches everywhere quickly became the target of all the victims.

Survival and faith are the foundation of the former, and the latter is sublimation - the truly pious can overcome everything with the latter, but the vast majority of people still belong to the former.

The papal states attached to the Holy See united with what little strength they had left, and began to search for the demon hunters who had long been scattered among the people incognito - undoubtedly, such a move was a great rebellion in the eyes of the Holy See and must be eliminated, but the Holy See did not realize until this moment that they had no existence to mobilize except for the Holy Knights and a very small number of priests and high priests with swords.

The cardinal archbishops and presiding judges, who are regarded as pillars by the entire Holy See, have long been divided into the districts of Lorant, and even the annual Father's Feast is held in their respective dioceses, and they have not returned to the Holy Forest District for nearly ten years; And the elite punishment knights have long been divided up in various names, and the rest are just some existences in the name of the Holy See, but in fact they seek their own interests; Of course, the cardinals and presiding judges are the same, but at different levels - when the reports appear on the table, the old pope, who has been immersed in glory, finds that the Holy See has rotted from the roots.

As for the head of the Inquisition?

Since the previous director of the Inquisition returned to the arms of God the Father, this position has been undecided; It's been vacant for almost fifty years, and judging by its current state. This position will continue to sit vacant until there is a presence capable of intimidating the multitude, and it will not have a true home.

Decree to the clerical hierarchy of the dioceses. They fought on their own, but they soon discovered that they had underestimated the existence of those who were usually only 'mortals' in their eyes, and that they did not have too many sophisticated weapons and equipment, and that they could not even get together a war horse, but that they were regarded as elite punishment knights by just a long sword and spear; And then. Something that terrified the higher echelons of the Holy See even more was the fact that more bare-handed, but able-bodied men would swarm up, pick up the weapons dropped by the Knights of Punishment, put on armor, and erase the coat of arms that belonged to the Holy See. Roll over your horse and charge.

When those who charge fall, more people will take up the weapons and armor of these people and continue to charge; tireless, fearless, fearless of death; Compared to such an existence, although they have more sophisticated weapons and are usually strictly trained, the Knights of Punishment and the Knights of the Cathar are full of fear - especially the latter, they can't understand why they are usually like lambs, bullying and killing at will. It will become a grassland hungry wolf, and the tiger will be even more terrifying!

Fail! Fail! Successive failures!

The great man who made the Holy See high in the past. had to unite to everything; However, even if they were united, they could not resist the group that had gathered to everything, holding high new banners and shouting for freedom, especially when a group of beings in black trench coats appeared who seemed to them to have disappeared long ago. Suddenly, the papal dignitaries and their troops who had temporarily united together. After a thousand miles of collapse, they fled directly back to the place where they were first born and raised, but after leaving, they chose to forget - the Sacred Forest District! …,

The land scorched by flames and stained with blood was filled with white and gold. the holy forest area with holiness as the main tone; The corpses covered almost the entire sacred forest area, layer after layer, and both the chargers and the defenders walked on these corpses, until the war stopped, including the head of the Holy Knights, the deputy commander, the twelve cardinals, and the presiding judge, and the old pope was seriously injured.

It's not that the affiliated papal states want to stop, but they have to stop—of the twenty-one affiliated papal states, there are less than six left at the moment, and half of them are wounded and disabled; Of the witchers who joined halfway, less than a fifth remained; In fact, after the high-level leaders of the Holy See chose to unite, One's high-end combat power was sent out, and those who resisted these high-end combat forces were demon hunters; Even after entering the Sacred Forest District, facing the famous Lorant, including the head of the Holy Knights, the deputy leader, the twelve cardinals, and the chief judge, all of them were demon hunters who exchanged their lives for their lives.

And those are the elites that the witchers have accumulated over the past hundred years!

"This is the Wizard's Way!"

As if recalling the history of this forest area, a trace of indescribable yearning appeared in the vigilant expression of the captain of the Poseidon descent who pushed the patriarch of the Norsd family; And Gail in a wheelchair. Nosd looked at the woodland in front of him and couldn't help but feel a trance-

When all the forces were lost and the strength was greatly lost, the final armistice agreement was signed!

The Sacred Grove was still planned for the remnants of the Holy See, with the Springwood Shak becoming the base of the witchers, and the remaining areas becoming the territory of the only six remaining papal vassals, administered by the six representatives elected by the commoners, and abandoning the constitutional monarchy in favor of an electoral system: the Supreme Government.

And the ancient families who played various roles in the war, the victors also returned to their respective territories to gain benefits, and the losers also entered the back road that had long been left behind - the Autumn Forest District; The Norsd family, which was a supporter of the twenty-one affiliated papal states, retained their family's traditional territories of Landinburgh and Saas, and even as a reward, the only six remaining royal families at that time also distributed the Fateh to the Nordic family, collectively called: the Bay Area.

After the war, all the powerful forces began to recuperate for a long time - the reconstruction of the city, the arrangement of people's livelihood, and the delivery of fresh blood between organizations all made all the powerful forces busy, especially the war caused the death of a large number of elites, so that all organizations had the phenomenon of 'generation'. The new generation has not grown up, the original generation has grown old, especially the family forces involved in it. As a 'mercenary', the backbone of the force is almost lost, which is equivalent to nothing!

Compared with the three major forces that have already improved, even after a long period of nearly fifty years of cultivation, these ancient families have only a few characters with good reputations - Starlight level and Moonlight level. As long as there are sufficient materials, they can be cultivated by relying on the abundance of resources, coupled with the skills and secret techniques handed down by their respective families, but the Solar level requires personal qualifications as the foundation!

Anyone understands that only the Solar Class is the basis for calculating the strength of a side!

Although the Holy See has some secret magic, this restriction is greatly reduced. However, after the war, the Holy See was clearly still in a state of rat crossing the street, and it was simply unable to gather more resources to carry out such an expensive magic technique.

As for the Supreme Government and the Witcher Headquarters?

Although the two have sufficient resources that can be distributed, especially the former has the advantage of being large and rich, and the collection of resources is extremely fast; However, the two who lack divine skills can only rely on the most traditional way to cultivate their own solar powerhouses - the pain after the war has made it impossible for the two sides to cooperate with each other, especially the supreme government that has just grasped a little real power, and will not give up the rights they have exchanged for their lives for the sake of immediate interests; Therefore. In order to be able to counterbalance high-level combat power. Ten years after the establishment of the Supreme Government, the 'chariot' plan began. …,

And in the three parties in such a state, facing twelve Solar level powerhouses who don't know the depths is definitely not optimistic!

The biggest possibility is that both sides will lose, and this is simply unbearable for the tripartite alliance that has just recuperated and has improved; Not to mention the families who are not as powerful as the three powerful forces - it only takes ten or fifteen days to destroy a city. Or even less; But it takes ten, a hundred, or even more to build a city; And the establishment of an organization. It's the same thing.

Another peace agreement was signed, a peace agreement with wizards in the presence of a tripartite alliance and a hundred powerful wizards—the depths of the Hailin District as the last gathering place for wizards. No other forces are allowed to get involved, and this wooded area intertwined with the outside world has become a passage for wizards to enter and exit the sea forest and the outside world - the Wizard's Road!

The other dark creatures located in the Sea Forest District will be restrained and eliminated by wizards, just like in the middle and late Savage Age, the application of human magic first appeared in the middle of the Savage Age, and at the beginning these people who used magic were called wizards by all people, and were revered, because they helped ordinary people resist the invasion of dark creatures and build their homes; But when the age of barbarism is gone, humans have become the protagonists of Lolante, and the era of complete prosperity of witchcraft has arrived, but the wizards with a high status have gone astray, and the people who originally had the luxury of happiness ushered in the dark age that opened the tragic and war history of the entire Lolan people.

"A wizard's faith is wisdom, and his belief is magic! Since you've missed it once, you can't go wrong again! We are wizards here, wizards who preserve the traditions of the mid-to-late Savage Age, not the dark wizards who have been lost! ”

These were the words of the wizard leader to the Tripartite Alliance when he signed the peace agreement and left - it turned out that the other party was not lying, and the agreement was kept for the next two hundred years; The wizards did not appear in front of ordinary people, and they also restrained most of the dark creatures in the sea forest area, but even wizards will miss it, and some dark creatures that burrow out of the sea forest area still exist, especially here in the wizard's path, every year there will be dark creatures attracted by the outside 'scent'.

As for exploring the Sea Forest District?

Each of the forces allowed such behavior, and even encouraged it—any force wanted to know what the wizard was doing in the depths of the forest; Especially about thirty years ago, when the originally stable wizarding organization split, one faction continued to follow the agreement, and the other faction gradually moved closer to the direction of the dark wizard, and after making a small disturbance, each force increased its exploration and vigilance against Hailin.

But for Hailin, which is almost half the size of the entire Lorant, the dense forest and the dark creatures entrenched in it make it much more difficult to explore, especially considering the attitude of the original wizard - although the split has greatly reduced its strength, it does not mean that either side can openly tear up the agreement; After all. The other party has been complying with it.

The inability to explore and search on a large scale makes the entire exploration task more difficult again; Until now, most of the organization's forces have only kept maps of the periphery of the sea forest area. A little deeper into the map, with the exception of the Supreme Government, the Holy See, and the Witchers' Guild, there are basically no other organizations.

"Wizards, admirable beings!"

With a hint of nostalgia. Captain Poseidon finally sighed; However, the next moment, the tone of the captain of the Poseidon descent became not very good: "However, why did your friend come here to meet?" Could it be that the next plan of their Holy See after destroying the Norsd family is to destroy the wizard's path? It's really a talented Holy See, and it regards the sun-level powerhouses like dung! I have just lost five Solar-level existences, and now I can't wait to throw a dozen or twenty more Solar-level powerhouses out to test the bottom limit of the wizards! ”…,

Unabashed mockery. Ling Gael. Nosd could only smile wryly - he knew very well that his cousin had disagreed with him and his friend Dizio from the very beginning, and that they had created a powerful alliance between the two of them; And after the attack on the entire Norsd family this time, the original disgust escalated more directly into disgust; If his strength allows, he believes that his cousin will definitely rush into the Sacred Forest District and kill like the one back then!

"This is just a personal invitation from Dizio, and besides, he has left the Holy See!"

"Detachment? Probably wanted, right? It's like a defeated dog being banished everywhere! Captain Poseidon's words did not mean to calm down, but the meaning of sarcasm became more and more intense: "Huh. He shouldn't be here to save his life. Come here and prepare to go to the depths of the sea forest and seek the protection of the wizards? That's definitely a good note! ”

"Cousin......

Facing this cousin, who is also known for his stubborn temper in the family, Gail. Nosd could only shake his head and smile bitterly; However, he knew very well that this cousin of his, although he had a bad temper and a strong mouth, was a trustworthy person; Otherwise. He would not give up on the more suitable candidates such as his son, daughter, and wife, but would be accompanied by this cousin of his, who came here to meet his friends.

"Lord Remos!"

"Humph!"

Dressed in an ordinary taupe robe, Dizio slowly appeared in front of the two of them. After smiling with his friend, Dizio smiled at Captain Poseidon. But Remos snorted coldly: "Let's talk!" I'm going to stay over there! ”

Watching his cousin walk towards the car, Gail. Nosd gave him a grateful look—he understood that his cousin had set aside space for him to talk to his friend; Although the way of expression is a little more intense.

"I'm sorry!"

After a long silence, Dizio, the former presiding judge, spoke first; He looked at his friend apologetically: "Sure enough, as His Excellency Fletcher said, you and I, a fool, can only become a fool in the end!" ”

"Alas!"

With a long sigh, Gail. Nosd struggled to raise his hand and waved.

"The loss caused by the two fools, the two fools will naturally make up for it!" The patriarch of the Nosd family said slowly: "However, the premise is to save your life!" ”

"Although the lord has issued a wanted warrant, there is still room for it!" Looking at his friend, who was obviously showing disbelief, Dizio smiled and explained, "The fact that I can stand here and talk to you is the best proof of this!" And, how is your body compared to me? ”

"It's fine! What about yours? ”

"The most outstanding thing about the Solar Class is the body! Although the injury was very serious at the time, it is no longer fine! ”

"Uncle, it has been decided that my daughter will take the place of the Northside Patriarch!" Speaking of which, Gail. Nosd couldn't help but smile bitterly again: "However, that girl is still far from her uncle's request!" ”

"Your Excellency Fletcher, you have always been known for being stern!" Dizio thought of the first time he saw him, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly; After a while, when the laughter of both of them had stopped, Dizio looked at his friend again and asked, "So, what about you?" ”

"I'm probably going to be sent to Randingburgh to retire! After all, the loss of the family this time was caused by me! ”

"It seems that the two of us are not destined to be too far apart!"

"What do you mean?"

Gail. Nosd looked at his friend curiously, and Dizio pointed around with a rare hearty smile.

"I'll stay here and guard the Wizard's Path! Make up for our two stupid mistakes! ”…,

"How can one person make up for the mistakes of two people" after a slight pause, Gail. Nosd chuckled, "After my body is fully recovered, I will apply to my uncle to be transferred here to guard the wizard's path with you!" ”

"Every year, the people of the Norsd family lose about five to ten clansmen and a varying number of witchers, plus the people who died in Saas Harbor this time due to the pirate invasion, we can be stationed for about two hundred years!"

"And the Holy See, although I have left, I still need to complete the ultimate atonement for them!"

"Well, it will take about three hundred years!"

Gail. Nosd looked down and counted it, then gave a number.

"Three hundred years, that's a long time! I shouldn't have a problem, but what about you? ”

"Almost, but it should be fine!"

"Then let's make another engagement?"

Dizzio suddenly proposed, and immediately got Gael. North's approval.

"This promise will definitely be fulfilled!"

"Of course!"

"Garrison the Wizard's Path, three hundred years!"

Syllable!

The hands of the two men struck again, and there was a crisp sound that represented the establishment of the oath, just as it had been twenty years ago.
