782 Mirage changes the world, the clash of factions and the choice of the empress
In the northwest of Sachiton, at the foot of the mountain near the sea, the white pagoda is scattered and surrounded by stone steps. People dressed in various mage robes came and went, their steps hurrying, and their faces were full of vitality even if they were burning.
On a certain floor of the highest white tower, slightly low and magnetic, like a female voice whispering directly in the heart, echoed in the hall, and dozens of male and female mages sitting upright listened to it with fascination.
"That's how the stacking circle works, nothing esoteric, the point is that it contains several choices that you must face carefully, which will determine your fate for decades to come, and possibly for a lifetime. ”
"I know there's a lot of talk about basic circle design, and Artur's Law has opened the door to a new world and made circle building fashionable. With each new circle, it means a significant increase in the efficiency of magic, or a new application of magic, as well as a steady stream of money and fame. ”
"But I'm going to pour cold water here, it's very difficult to produce results in this direction. If you don't have the perseverance and determination to bury your head in research in the magic tower for many years, and you don't have enough rich sources of technical information and a high enough academic exchange environment to work behind closed doors, I advise you not to consider this direction. ”
"For most of you, a more appropriate direction would be to work on the magical cohomology of stacking circles and combining circles. ”
"As I mentioned earlier, the road of picking up the remains of the magic empire and discovering new high-level magic from ancient materials has become more and more impassable, and then analyzing the magic into a single-structure magic circle, stacking and combining are magic circles, and even the future of magic. ”
"But there is still a factor that is holding back this trend, and that is how to ensure that multiple circles can work together and work together more efficiently. Each time an asynchronous factor is removed, the efficiency of the circle is doubled. ”
"That's right, apps, you need to start with apps. Through homology research, after being exposed to a large number of examples of stacking and combining magic circles, we can talk about doing basic research. Before the legend, this should be the only thing you guys are worth putting all your energy into. ”
"Don't worry that there is no future in this direction, in fact, whether it is a civil or an empire, what is most desired now is to make traditional magic show greater power and higher efficiency through stacking and union. The designers of stacks and joint circles certainly enjoy the greatest benefits and honors, but it is the unknown people who work on this kind of research that make them even more useful. ”
The tall and graceful figure is covered by a purple robe, the black hair is tied into a bun like a waterfall, and the black-rimmed glasses hide the bright silver eyes, and the magic teacher who lectures here is actually the Duchess of the Empire, the legendary magician Hathaway Ted.
"Since it is an application, you must not be divorced from reality, let alone have any prejudices about the direction in which magic is to be used. ”
"Magic can be used on low-level transcendents and even civilians to make their lives easier and more enjoyable. ”
"Magic can be used in battle and protection, observation and detection, making the lords' rule more secure, but more merciful. ”
"Magic should also be used to enable mortals to overcome the things of nature, to allow mortals to set foot in more sinister environments, to make mortals more aware of the laws of the world, and to make better use of all kinds of resources. ”
"In short, remember that you are not studying magic to make it more sacred. Rather, you want to make magic more popular, more ubiquitous, so that you can be more rewarded. ”
"Magic is indeed a truth, but you must wholeheartedly accept the principle that magic is first and foremost a craft that brings benefits and changes fate. ”
"You are indeed magicians, but first and foremost you are magicians, craftsmen who have mastered magic through magician techniques, just like me. ”
The students here are all extremely talented elites, who were promoted to the hero level before the age of twenty, Hathaway's epilogue was originally extremely demoralizing and confident, everyone felt that they were high-ranking magicians, but at this time, they were like an enlightenment, suddenly enlightened, and the magical world in their hearts was also renewed.
Behold, Dean Ted thinks of himself as a magician, why should we consider ourselves superior magicians?
That's right, magic is a craft first, and you have to talk about profit before you can talk about recourse to truth.
The instructor made it very clear that learning magic is for the sake of glory and wealth, and the more popular magic is, the more benefits will be.
Isn't the traditional magician who is sacred and mysterious on the surface, but who in fact still follow the brutes, madmen, and crooks to do the dirty work of digging graves through dog holes?
Honestly studying the magic guide technique, and letting those who are willing to work use the magic guide they have researched and made by themselves, this is the real magician.
After Hathaway finished speaking, the applause was thunderous, and she nodded reservedly, ending the discipline of the new batch of students of the Ted High School of Magic.
Moments later, she returned to her own magic tower in the realm. From the outside, the White Tower, which sits on the edge of a sea cliff, resembles the magic tower where the Oath of the Broken Tower is located.
Take off your glasses, dismantle your bun, and the space suddenly brightens.
Instead of summoning the magic mirror to look forward to it, or summoning Taling to inquire about the family's business, she put on an eyepatch similar to the Fei Gong battle armor with countless magic eyes and put on gloves.
"I have to complete the dismantling of the refraction circle today, otherwise the magic curvature deviation formula won't come out this year, but it's really busy......"
The current Hathaway-Ted is like a tireless magical pedant in academics and education, and it is completely impossible to tell that it is the Hathaway who once turned the clouds and rain.
The figure rippled and was about to teleport to the laboratory, when Taling's voice rang out: "Miss, the news from the first layer of Purgatory and Abyss, you should be interested in knowing. ”
Solid, Hathaway said, "I'm really interested, I'm going to go down there, it's the best place to study the deviation of the curvature of magic, but there are still a lot of preliminary studies that haven't been done." ”
The light in the blindfold changed, and Taling transmitted the image directly to her.
After a long time, she sighed in a slightly shocked tone: "That guy Li Qi actually tossed such a big move." ”
"Even if it's purgatory and the abyss, he can make magic weapons......"
"That kind of armor, and puppets, the smell is getting weird......"
"There are no more magic guide techniques, not even magic guide planes and explosives, and they can compete with a hundred or even a thousand times the number of demons......
"When he has a deeper understanding of the inner plane, what kind of things will he and his Fei Gong do?"
Although she couldn't see her eyes, the biting red lips still revealed the turmoil in her heart.
She said to herself, "Go down and work with him, if you keep your posture lower, he should accept me, right? He's a soft-hearted guy, I know." ”
Taling followed: "If Miss practices her acting skills and is more open to him, maybe she can rekindle her old feelings and get the core secret from him." ”
Hathaway was stunned, nodded and said, "It's a good suggestion, but I don't need acting, I haven't seen any other man who can make me look at him except him." ”
He shook his head again and said, "But even Theresia has never fought against his goddess, and I don't have that kind of strength, at least not now." Even if I don't care about his goddess, and Aurora and Catherine, how can I share a man with other women?"
"The most important thing is, will I eat him or will he eat me? Probably the latter, I don't have any basis at all. ”
The corners of his mouth curled up again, and his tone became confident: "When you need to, you may not be unable to cooperate, but it must be real cooperation, not me begging him." ”
"I am convinced that the right direction is now, that truth is power, and that the road to freedom is paved with wisdom. ”
Taling didn't continue the conversation, and continued, "The Imperial Ministry of Magic has issued a directive to the Joint Communications Network Committee to remove all visions. ”
"Haha——!"
Hathaway looked up and smiled, "The worst thing at this time is Theresia, right? Does she really want to replace the pomp and circumstance of mortals fighting demons in purgatory with the heroic posture of cleaning up a mere demigod?"
"If that's the case, her image as the God Emperor of Order will plummet. ”
"I sincerely hope that she will do this, and for that matter, Richie, you have done a really good job, and it has made me angry!"
In the newly built Golden Tree Palace, the imperial capital of the Holy Will Empire, Romulus's excited voice echoed endlessly.
"Well done Richie!"
The young emperor paced back and forth excitedly under the throne with his hands behind his back and looked at the images in the light curtain.
"It would be nice if I were here, it's a pity. ”
The vassals suddenly changed color, and they all spoke out to dissuade them, they knew that this majesty was the master who did it when he thought of it, and it was really possible to go directly to the place called the Fort of Return and join the Hell Plane Army.
Romulos sighed, "Okay, okay, I'm just casually saying that Thevins had already trained me yesterday." ”
The vassals chuckled with relief, and the people present, including Grita, were close associates, and the Emperor often joked to this extent in front of them.
"But I can't sit idly by, after all, the war there is at stake in the Lord Plane, and even the whole world. ”
Then Romrose's tone became serious: "Our empire also has to contribute. ”
Greta frowned: "Your Majesty, this is not just a mortal matter, but also related to the choice of the gods' faction, do you want to promote the alliance that joined the Crimson Lady organization?"
"Let's not say that my decision has nothing to do with him", Romulos was a little unhappy: "Let's just talk about the alliance, isn't our empire an alliance with the Fei Gong?"
Greta hurriedly bowed her head: "I don't mean to accuse Your Majesty, I just feel that this matter must be cautious." ”
Other vassals also spoke, either tactfully or outrightly.
"I didn't stand with Li Qi early in the morning, and I was already very annoyed!"
Romroth's voice was raised: "Seeing Li Qi and them fighting so hard below today, I was thinking, what would he do if he replaced me with the Emperor?"
He glanced at the crowd: "You say, what will the emperor do?"
The subordinates were speechless, and they wanted to change the Emperor Tuduo, which was nothing to say.
If you are not of my race, you will be different if you are united......
That's what the Emperor sees of other races, not to mention demons and devils.
If the bloody battle between the demon and the devil will indeed endanger the main plane, the emperor may not even care if he wants the empire or not, and will immediately lead the army to fight.
For a man like the Great, principles come first, and he does not hesitate to practice his principles with his life and soul, which is simply a belief that does not belong to any god.
The Holy Will Empire is the Second Empire of Tudor, and it would be strange if Romross did not hold high the banner of Tudor the Great.
However, the principle alone ignores the truth, and it is the vassals who have a headache rather than the emperor.
So the vassals reported one after another, and some said that there was still a war between the north and the south, and where could they move manpower and resources. Some say that the Dawning Empire is eyeing the Empire, and the Empire must leave enough forces to guard against it. Others say that this will affect the relationship at the level of the gods, allowing the Dawning Empire to find an excuse to go to war with the Empire.
Romrose refuted them one by one......
"How is it that Rich's side has been able to move manpower and resources? Even the largest cities in the Fortress land he have been allocated are still occupied by the rebels. He's still supporting us at the same time, but he has the strength to fight millions of demons down there! The released footage is only part of the war, and I heard that they actually killed several demon kings!"
"Besides, we can't get anything decent, and Li Qi is only short of people down there, and all the equipment is provided by him. Why don't we send a regular legion and organize the Transcendentals, right?"
"As for the Dawning Empire, the empress kept saying that intervening in the inner plane would disrupt the established order, so she didn't intervene. Our Holy Will Empire and Fei Gong are also defending the world, she wants to attack us, what is the difference between her and the cunning devil, she is still worthy of being the goddess of order?"
In the end, he said: "Although I didn't see Li Qi on the video, and the heroic appearance of His Highness Qi Li, she must be fighting. At this time, isn't it a good opportunity to stand up and prove who, which empire, is truly fighting for world peace, for rebuilding order, and for the happiness of the people?"
Greta had tried to persuade too, but when Romulus said this, her newly opened mouth closed again.
The vassals were silent, and Romeros waved his hand: "It's decided!" In addition to sending a liaison team to the field to investigate and communicate with the Fei Gong to see what support they need, the empire must also urgently mobilize in the country and call on capable transcendents to join the Hell Plane Army. All the merits obtained in the Hell Plane Army are regarded as contributions to the Empire, and they will be commended and even knighted!"
After a moment of silence, the two of them walked out at the same time, it was actually Callahan and Kottins, the two counts, who said in unison: "The leader of this liaison group ......"
Romulos coughed and interrupted them, "Of course I'm in charge." ”
..................
Outside King Bled's capital, in the side hall of the Empress's Palace, layers of enchantments blocked all sounds and even magic fluctuations, making it as empty and deep as a black hole.
The Empress's voice was as ethereal as the sky: "That's it, McGowell, heed my warning, and no superfluous movements are allowed except to know what is happening there, absolutely not!"
The dry and inhuman voice said in a frightened voice: "The villain must remember! If there is a disobedience, even if the villain's soul is crushed, he will not dare to complain." ”
Then he asked timidly: "Please also ask Your Majesty to confirm, if you need to contact the Demon King and the Demon King......
The empress said coldly: "I have already said what you must do, and what you must not do, do you still need me to teach you how to do it?"
After a pause, she added, "Gorazk is absolutely untrustworthy!"
The voice was not repeated, and after the empress waved her hand, the voice disappeared with the master into a faint smoke.
After being silent for a while, the empress rubbed her forehead and sighed: "Actually, you can send someone over openly, but I'm afraid that guy will take advantage of the topic and be led by his nose." There are really too many scruples about using the power of the dark side, who let it be purgatory and abyss, a world of sin and sin?"
A soft jingle sounded, a signal that someone outside was asking to see you.
The Empress waved her hand casually, and the heavy enchantment covering the side hall dissipated.
Medi, the Imperial Minister of Magic, enters, followed by Mordwin, the Minister of Propaganda.
Medi's gaze paused in the corner, but she didn't react, and after saluting the Empress, she said, "Is it Your Majesty's intention that Minister Mordwin ask the United Communications Network to conduct a comprehensive inventory of that illusion?"
The Empress frowned, "Mordwin, what's going on?"
Mordwin said eagerly: "Your Majesty, if you don't investigate and prohibit the spread of this mirage, when our Brad publicizes the release of the mirage, those ignorant will deliberately compare, and then spread mockery to tarnish the image of the empire!"
Medi sighed, "How can the matter of the Hell Plane Army and the bloody battle be covered up?"
Mordwin said in a sharp voice: "Of course, I can't help it, but at least I can protect the subjects of the empire and prevent them from being seduced by people with ulterior motives! The empire must also show its posture and prohibit its subjects from playing on the subject! The glory of the empire cannot be desecrated, and the glory of Your Majesty cannot be dusted!"
"What's more, many ignorant people now regard participating in the bloody war as more important than being loyal to His Majesty and serving the Empire. Even the streets of Valentine are organizing teams to join the Hell Plane Army. ”
"Your Majesty, Lady Crimson and Li Qi are pulling the banner of resistance against demons and devils, covering up their evil plot to shake the Holy Light of Order!"
Mordwin said indignantly: "The bloody battle is only a matter of demons and devils, when will it affect the main plane? Relying on the magic guide equipment to kill some low-level demons below, bewitching ignorant mortals, and using the Hell Plane Army as a shell to develop crimson believers, this series of schemes, only people like Li Qi can do it!"
Theresia frowned, not knowing why she was displeased.
Thinking back to the reaction of Ruimaco and the others just now, she was awe-inspiring in her heart, and she was definitely unhappy with Li Qi.
"That guy really weaves such a conspiracy, but he occupies the name of righteousness, and it is not appropriate for me to do anything. ”
She was muttering, and Mediwin advised: "Your Majesty, this is a change in the world after all, and if you are always outside, you will always be passive." ”
The old magician seemed to inadvertently talk about the past: "The current situation reminds me of the crisis in the realm of the dead, when His Majesty also went too late to ......"
Speaking of which, he came to his senses, coughed and shut up.
Theresia's heart rippled violently, yes, it was because he was late in intervening that Richie had to sit on the throne of death, and then ......
Her hand subconsciously pressed on her lower abdomen, and then she had this, and then her emotional entanglement with Richie.
Is that going to happen again?
Of course, it won't be the same thing, but she has to sacrifice something to return her to the throne of God, and the plan to replace Kayla is delayed again.
Although Mordwin couldn't understand what Medi was saying, she could obviously see that the empress's mind had changed drastically with just one sentence, and she hurriedly said, "Now even in the Empire's magic crash school, there are instructors who are teaching how to use magic weapons to fight demons. ”
What the!?
Theresia's face darkened, how could this be!?
After thinking about it, she said lightly: "Regarding this matter, my opinion is very simple, the joint communication network is governed by the empire. ”
Mordwin was overjoyed, and was about to leave after saluting, when Theresia said, "Pay attention to the way and method, and don't be too simple and rude." I can also make it clear to you that the Empire and I will not ignore any events that will endanger the world, but only have priorities. Soon, everyone will understand who is sincerely maintaining order and who is guarding goodness, soon. ”
When Mordwin was gone, Medi sighed deeply, "Your Majesty, is this really good?"
Theresia also sighed: "No way, I have to take care of the overall situation, but Li Qi has no worries, the order is not his anyway, and he has no responsibility for the world." ”
said that his face became gloomy: "No, even if he is responsible, he will not carry it, and he is still pretending to be deaf and dumb." ”
Medi pondered for a while, and then stopped talking about this: "Then Your Majesty, is the previous battle okay?"
Theresia shook her head: "It's a bit of an impact, the use of divine power is always not so smooth, but there should be no problem in the main plane." ”
Medi handed over a ring: "If you count the time, it's ...... Manifest your pregnancy, this is the illusion of time you want, and I'm ready for it. ”
"Thank you, mentor", Theresia put on the ring, and her temperament suddenly changed slightly, and the original feeling of being round and jade disappeared, and it was a little greener than just now.
Medi said, "This ring will keep your body in the state it was in before conception, because it uses the power of time at the forbidden spell level, and not even a god can see it except for the god who has the priesthood of time." ”
Theresia sighed, "But it will also affect my use of divine power, no, I'm not dissatisfied, there are not many things in the world that can have both." Whether I'm a god or a mortal, I've learned this deeply. ”
When Medi had retired, Theresia returned to her dormitory, leaning on a chaise longue, her body overflowing with holy light, and her spirit ascended to heaven.
In the Throne of Order, Theresia and Kayla merged, and the God of Law and the God of Knights bowed deeply under the Throne.
The projection of the God of Law said, "The alliance of gods organized by the Crimson Lady through the Blood War has had a great impact on us. ”
That's why Theresia came up, and the impact of that apparition wasn't just limited to mortals on the main plane.
This rond was worried: "Originally, I was promoting the integration of the Holy Warrior Orders in various places under the justice of the law, but now, all the Holy Warrior Orders are rushing to Epsilon, and if this continues, other righteous wills will be condensed, so that I will not be able to serve His Majesty's order wholeheartedly." ”
The god of knights, Numael also said: "My faith was originally being restored, but now it is beginning to drain again, and many knights have chosen to join the bloody war. ”
What a challenge......
As soon as Teresia thought so, Kayla said, "It's a serious challenge, Theresia. Lady Crimson uses the bloody war to win over the followers of other gods, with the ultimate goal of gathering an order under her control. ”
"We must salvage the situation, but direct suppression and even hostility is more intelligent, and the banner raised by the Crimson Lady is too deceptive for mortals who do not know the pattern of the world to have doubts about us. ”
Theresia sighed, "So what are we going to do?"
Kayla said, "You know the world better than I do, and you should look closely, what is more intriguing to mortals than the Purgatory Abyss and the Blood War, and more so that the other gods can understand whose business the big picture is." ”
At this, Theresia frowned.
At this time, the Law Dragon said again: "The Goddess of Commerce and the Void Dragon God may not be a force that can be used, at least the Chaos Angel will not be suppressed too strongly in Purgatory and the Abyss. ”
The idea of Lawrond is clear, and that is to open up another battlefield in the inner plane, one that shows that the Oriosis is more righteous and powerful.
"Wait, Angel of Order......"
Theresia suddenly asked a very abrupt question: "Heaven Mountain, where is the part above the second layer?"
The Law Rond and Numael and even Kayla are silent, this is a matter of the Dark Ages, even the gods are gone, who knows where the rest of the Heavenly Mountain has gone?
"Little Red...... Lady Crimson has turned the place of Epsilon into a public kingdom, which is why it has attracted so many neutral gods. ”
Theresia's eyes flashed with golden light: "And outside of my kingdom of order, there is no dependence, so the gods have no place to follow." ”
Her tone wasn't too sure: "What if...... What if I move the kingdom of God to Heavenly Mountain, and at the same time open Heavenly Mountain, and allow all the good gods to settle in?"
As soon as he finished speaking, his tone suddenly became confident again: "Yes, this is also necessary! Since the part above the Heavenly Mountain is gone, why can't I use the Kingdom of Order to fill in and make the world complete again?"
Then she and Kayla's phantom almost overlapped, and her voice changed slightly: "With such a foundation, and then intervene in a bloody battle, that is the real showdown between good and evil, order and chaos, isn't it?"
