Chapter 1221: Reversal
The Principality of Eagles, the least exposed country on the continent of Mendez, is built on a plateau.
There is no shortage of water here, and despite the harsh natural environment, it is not unsuitable for human life, especially after the Arcane Empire improved the wheat so that it could be grown on this land, and the Eagle Plateau is even more suitable for survival.
This is the birthplace of the Orff water system, and the sacred mountain in the hearts of the people of the Principality of Eagle is the closest mountain to the sun on the planet.
There was once an invincible cavalry here, but after being conquered by the Arcane Empire and conquered by the improved wheat, there has never been an invincible cavalry here.
Most of the people of the duchy believed in the god of radiance, believing that this deity was the reincarnation of the sun god, and that their sun god never left them.
But in any case, the Principality of the Eagle may be rich in cavalry, or it may be rich in warriors, or it may be rich in clergy, but it is not rich in mages.
On that plateau, there was not a single mage tower towering high above the earth, and the Eagle people hated the Arcane Empire, even now, more than eight hundred years later, they had long been accustomed to the cursed Arcane Empire as a part of their lives, and they hated the existence of mages.
But now, a large group of mages suddenly appeared around the 'Eagle King' who proclaimed him king, which had to make people suspicious.
"From 'Cloudsdale'?!"
The maid wondered if she had read it wrong, and suddenly felt dizzy as she looked at the message sent by the God of Radiance.
Even she doesn't seem to be able to keep up with the times, before she and Latinia had just decided that Cloudsdale was related to the Arcane Empire, but now a large number of mages from Cloudsdale have appeared in a country full of hatred for the Arcane Empire?
She hadn't thought about this in the first place, and because of Cloudsdale's behavior all along, she had decided that Cloudsdale had something to do with the Arcane Empire.
But unexpectedly, before Cloud City entered the Black Forest, it placed most of the population in the Eagle Principality, and among those populations, in addition to the lack of high-level mages, the number of middle and low-level mages could even form several pure mage legions.
Before that, the Eagle King had already reported this matter to the God of Radiance, but because Cloudsdale had asked the God of Radiance to keep it secret, no one else knew about it.
Cloudsdale has nothing to do with the Arcane Empire, but has a close relationship with the gods?
This earth-shattering reversal is something that even Latinia can't bear, obviously she is also one of the gods, but she is not qualified to know about it.
Cloudsdale has been under the watchful eye of the gods, so it's not too surprising that it didn't betray the world of Assatom, but it's ...... Somehow, both Serena and Latinia felt awkward!
"It's not just you, but even I feel weird. The chat page popped up a few more messages from the God of Radiance, [To be honest, before this, Cloudsdale had always been very mysterious, and even we hadn't touched some core things, just knowing that they had no ill will towards the world of Assatom, and that was enough. I don't expect the mages who continue the traditions of the Arcane Empire to embrace the New Age, and if it weren't for the great credit they did in the first place, I wouldn't have allowed that deformed society to exist. 】
[The deformed society of Cloudsdale was formed due to the deliberate guidance of the rulers, who hoped to cultivate more and better mages, although we don't know what they are going to do, but for the sake of the people's wishes, we have not done anything to them. 】
The 'we' in the words of the God of Light refers to the gods, and the maid has long known about the situation in Cloudsdale from Latinia's mouth.
The society inside that floating city was deformed, and since there was very little contact with the outside world, and even if it did, it was only carried out by the mage organization of Cloudsdale, and the people at the bottom had no way or possibility to contact the outside world at all.
Strange to say, the mage organization in Cloudsdale did not exploit the civilians, but always provided for them, and as long as they could become mages, they would be able to enjoy a better life.
There is no other entertainment in Cloudsdale, the only entertainment is reading, and reading is their biggest entertainment!
Therefore, the literacy rate of Cloudsdale is also the highest in the world of Assatom, and the people of the entire city can read and write, and quote scriptures.
However, even if the mages of Cloudsdale supply the civilians of the entire city, it is only so that they will not starve to death, and it is impossible to talk about brocade clothes and jade food, otherwise, people will not study desperately, just to become mages and live a better life for themselves and their families.
The strangest part is here—in the past 800 years, Cloudsdale has continuously cultivated many mages, but where have these mages been used?
[No one knows about this matter, but Cloudsdale promises that the mages they have cultivated will definitely not have any connection with organizations related to the Arcane Empire, and if there is, they will take action to deal with those guys themselves.] 】
The maid also knew about it, and Latinia had talked to her about it before, but she didn't think that Cloudsdale's guarantee had any effect.
If it weren't for the fact that she now had the God of Radiance as a vouch, she would even want to ask the 'Eagle King' herself—ask him what the hell was going on.
I don't know when the connection between Cloud City and the Eagle Principality began, but it should have lasted for a long time, otherwise, it would be impossible for Cloud City to put a large number of middle and low-level mages it has cultivated in the Eagle Principality.
And the rest of the population should be a bonus, or even a 'burden'.
They have long been accustomed to being fed by Cloudsdale and will definitely not be able to adapt to life on the ground, and it may take a long time for them to regain their ability to survive.
The maid thought for a moment, [Besides, did the 'Eagle King' say anything else?]
[You don't need to say anything, just observe those people in Cloudsdale to know...... Actually, they are followers of the spirits of the net—and they have always been!]
Seeing this information, the maid Huo Ran stood up, and even Latinia was shocked.
The followers of the [Spirit of the Demonic Web] have always been?" those people, if nothing else, the civilians and mages placed in the Principality of Eagle in Cloudsdale, are they all believers of the [Spirit of the Demonic Web]?
I see, I see......
If that's the case, then everything seems to make sense!
Without the support of the believers, it would be impossible for the [Spirit of the Demon Net] to control the passage of the Kingdom of God all the time, that is to say, the fact that Cloud City has been stranded in the human world has a great connection.
[I also didn't know until now that those people were the descendants of mages who were brainwashed into fanatics by the Arcane Empire, and Cloudsdale also appeared because of the 'Demon Net Spirit Project', otherwise, the Arcane Empire would not have created such a weakly defended floating city. After the plan failed, they began to gradually evacuate the floating city, but the floating city could not be destroyed like this, it needed to be recovered, so they gave us an opportunity to take advantage of it......]
[Maybe even the Arcane Empire itself didn't realize that after those mages were brainwashed by them, their belief in the spirit of the magic net had far surpassed their loyalty to the Arcane Empire, which eventually led to the outbreak of the 'City Capture' incident. Those brainwashed mages were careful when it came into contact with us, so I didn't know about these things until now...... Actually, this is just some speculation on my part, but I think it's pretty close to the truth. 】
The maid and Latinia's minds are also a little confused, is this the truth?
They thought that Cloudsdale had a deep connection with the Arcane Empire, but they didn't expect that it was right to be connected, but Cloudsdale and the Arcane Empire were 'mortal enemies'.
The Spirit of the Demon Web is a mortal enemy of the Arcane Empire, and so are his followers.
So, this time, Cloudsdale entered the Black Forest not to communicate with the lackeys of the Arcane Empire, but to fight them......
