Chapter 50: The opening (the third is more thankful for reading and not writing, and the leader of the alliance is red again)
——The third more is sent, thanks to the leader of the Reading and Not Writing Alliance, who is once again popular and has become the general alliance of this book.
..........................................................................................
Nikolai and Walter were both devout ascetics who joined the Night's Watch for other reasons, one currently the leader of the Fifth Night's Watch at the Disces' Inquisition of Holm and the other as a member of the Night's Watch at the "Magician's Hammer" at the Reims Inquisition in the Holy City. They were all fifth-rank bishops, and their faith was particularly fanatical and strong, which made a deep impression on the heart of the chief ascetic of Valenhill, so he called them for this almost mortal mission.
"Lord Valenhill, I am ready to give to the Lord at all times. Death is not the end, and behind the gate of Heaven Mountain will be an eternal paradise. "Nikolai got down on one knee and drew a cross on his chest.
He was a hard, cold middle-aged man, dressed in a simple white robe, with no wife, no children, no possessions, no pleasures, all dedicated to the God of Truth.
Walter, a young brown-haired man, has blue eyes full of vicissitudes: "Lord Valenhill, death is not terrible, what is terrible is to lose all faith in the Lord, and then you will live in hell from which you can never be liberated." The Lord is all-knowing and all-powerful, the Lord created all things, and death is nothing but to His bosom!"
"Very well, your devotion to the Lord is your noblest character. I can feel the joy of the Lord that the gates of the Heavenly Mountain will always be open to you. If you are able to return from this mission, I will take you to the holy city of Reims to receive the Pope's blessing so that you can ascend to the high rank and become a cardinal who presides over a small diocese. ”
Touched by the unwavering faith of the two Night's Watchmen, Valenhill did not hesitate to praise himself, "Your goal is Felipe Canero, the blasphemer who has risen to the ninety-first rank of the Purification Sequence. In addition, you have a secondary goal. Is he Lucien Evans? X, but the importance of the former cannot be compared, and if you don't have a chance, don't sabotage the operation to purify the blasphemer because of him. If you have the possibility of escaping, do not give up because of him. ”
In other words, in the presence of archmages and high-level mages, the possibility of assassinating Lucien is close to zero.
"The blasphemers must be cleared!" replied Nikolai and Valente aloud.
Bahá'u'lláh, who was next to him, solemnly took out a silver-gray long sword. At first glance, it looks ordinary, but on closer inspection, it seems to be able to absorb all the light and cut through everything: "This is a replica of the power condensed from the artifact 'Sword of Truth' of the Diocese of Holm. Able to cut through all the shackles and connections below the legend. Felipe is a necromancer, and he may have his own life box, horcruxes, etc., and only with such items can he be completely purified. ”
The bloodline of the Hoffenberg family was named the "Sword of Truth" because of their ability to resemble this artifact. It's just that this kind of legendary item is definitely impossible for the two night watchmen to take with them, otherwise it is unknown whether to assassinate Felipe or send legendary equipment, so the three cardinal members of the Church (legendary) spent a few days condensing this replica with their own strength, magic array, high-level materials, etc., combined with the power of the "Sword of Truth", which can be used once.
Watch as Nikolai takes a replica of the "Sword of Truth". Valenhill said: "Old Mage Fern will arrange for you to enter the Saliva Manor as a waiter, you wait patiently, you must not be in a hurry, you must get rid of Felipe." ”
The old mage Fern is a fourth-level arcanist, a magician of the Five Rings. He had had many influential arcane research results, and when he was young, he had amazing combat effectiveness and killed many night watchmen, but as he grew older and his strength grew slower or even stagnated, he began to be confused in arcane research.
He was deeply troubled by questions such as "where did life come from", "what is the source of magic power", and "how did the first soul come about", but he could not get answers from the existing arcane research, so he gradually believed in the existence of God, believing that God was the first, that one is the master of all things, and that his belief was extremely pious.
Therefore, he arranged for someone to sneak directly into the manor where the high-level magicians gathered, and assassinate the most valued genius of the Magic Council, only he agreed, and those traitors who cooperated with the church because of money, materials, beautiful women, etc. were completely unwilling to cooperate, and if they were pressed, they would instead confess to the "Disciplinary Department" under the "Affairs Committee", after all, it was better to accept the corresponding punishment than to lose their lives.
Nikolai and Valente stood up and cried as they drew the cross: "But the truth endures!"
"But the truth remains!" said Valenhill and Bahá'u'lláh watched them leave.
Then Bahá'u'lláh sighed, "Is it possible to sacrifice two night watchmen of such devotion to such an extent? It would be a shame that our losses would have been terrible after this incident. ”
"But it's all worth it. It cannot be described as sacrifice, it is dedication, the best expression of their devotion to themselves. Valenhill, the leader of the ascetics, closed his eyes and his face was resolute.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Felipe. ”
"Mr. Felipe......"
Outside the Saliva Manor, after seeing Felipe walking arrogantly with his hands in his black trench coat, they all subconsciously nodded and said hello, as if they had a kind of heartfelt admiration.
The only living person who can hope to win the Immortal Throne Award again, and maybe even win the Holm Crown Award together, is Felipe except for the Grand Arcanist and the Legendary Magician. In addition, although his research on cellular memory has opened a new chapter in the treatment of injuries by necromantic magic, benefiting many magicians, it is only a supplemental, breakthrough arcane achievement, and it is far from being so shocking and admired by overturning the theory of human vitality, one of the cornerstones of necromantic magic.
Of course, there are many necromancers with resentment in their eyes and eager to refine Felipe into their own corpse puppets, but the arcane masters of the elemental will are basically admired with deep regret, for what is not the elemental magician to get subversive research results?
In the face of all kinds of gazes, Felipe calmly accepted them all without the slightest humility or fear, and strode into the manor with a slight bow, towards the hall of the main house. In front of him were high-ranking arcanists such as Rogerio.
Arriving at the door of the main house, Felipe paused deliberately. Looking at Lucien coming out of the other house, the corners of his mouth curled up as if nothing was there, revealing a gloomy smile. It's as if to say, "Nicely matched, Mr. Professor." ”
Although none of the necromancers died with a headshot because they couldn't accept the new theory and forcibly meditated, due to the chaos of the cognitive world, there were not a few people who lost control of their mental power and caused a little damage to themselves. Among them are the old guys who are stubbornly conservative, so Felipe is happy with the result.
He then didn't wait for Lucien's reaction and walked straight into the main hall of the house. Unexpectedly, I saw a half-high platform surrounded by a dangerous magic array, on which many dangerous magic arrays were wrapped in alchemy platforms and experimental devices made of glass.
The two glass bottles form a closed loop with some other devices in between, giving a bizarre and mysterious beauty.
"What kind of experiment is this?" Felipe thought in surprise, thinking that he was discussing the study of alchemical substances contributing to the production of food, but it didn't look like that.
"What do the people of the Elemental Will want to do?" Felipe, who belonged to the Pale Hand Core and believed that they would not hide such a thing from him, quickly thought of the Arcanist of the Elemental Will. With a strong sense of suspicion, he sat in the center of the seat in the row behind Rogerio, Pesol and others.
"Mr. Pesol, what is this?" Rogerio thought for a moment, but had no clue, so he turned his head to ask Pesol, who was a member of the Arcane Commission.
Pesol shook his head: "I don't know. The discussion at the end of the project was proposed by Gaston, did they complete any significant experiments?"
He doesn't take it too seriously. Anyway, the theory of human vitality has been overthrown by the Pale Hand itself, and with enough time buffer, no matter how decisive the results are, the Pale Hand will not be able to suffer more serious losses, at most those diehards who are confused in cognition and may slow down much in the future will be hit harder, and the improvement of strength will become slower or even stagnant.
As for the other basic theories of the necromancy, there is no indication that they are wrong, and if they can be overturned, they can almost be considered to have entered the realm of God, such as the "soul essence theory", "soul-consciousness-idism", etc.
At this moment, Lucien, Lavendi, Gaston, Loclinne, and other arcane masters of the elemental will also walked in and sat down on the other side.
"Maurice, what is he here for?" Tina Dimos furrowed her beautiful and bewitching eyebrows slightly.
Morris was not drawn into this research assignment, and his sudden appearance here made Tina Dimos feel wrong.
Rogerio said with understanding: "The great discussion of the theory of human vitality can attract me, and His Excellency Morris is naturally no exception. ”
By two o'clock in the afternoon, the Arcanists had arrived, as had the Druids represented by Ellerstin and Exirion - the urging from the Struman Forest had subsided as Malfurion had given up on cooperating with the Grand Arcanists in the study of nature magic.
Malfurion, on the other hand, was watching the experiments in a half-dimensional space upstairs with a few archarcanists.
"Hathaway, what is your purpose for us to watch this experiment?" the Revenant Lord leaned back in a chair carved with intricate patterns. Although he was not as optimistic as expected, he was slightly relieved that most of the negative consequences of the human vitality theory had been eliminated.
Hathaway's cold, silver-gray eyes stared out without turning her head, and she replied without turning her head: "A simple experiment that would be enough to shake part of the foundation of the church. Sometimes, it may be that we think too complicated to find the result, and the mystery of nature magic may also be the same. ”
Hearing Hathaway's assertion, Douglas, the speaker of the Magic Council, and Brooke, the vice president, who rushed over to interrupt their own experiments, all looked at the experimental device with serious expressions.
With the exception of the Ice Witch and the Hand of Annihilation, who had not yet arrived, the rest of the Grand Arcanists were all seated.
............
Dressed in a gray robe, Lavendi stepped onto the platform and stood behind the experimental device, and then said in his loud voice: "This discussion of the doctrine of human vitality has inspired us to design a wonderful experiment based on the legend of the high-level arcanists of the Elemental Will section. Ladies and gentlemen, before discussing the results of this project, let us witness this experiment. It may take a long time, and I hope you can stick to it, just in the middle to discuss the issue of those alchemical substances. ”
Lavendi was a gentleman who didn't joke, and his solemn introduction immediately aroused a strong curiosity among the arcanists.
What kind of experiment is this? (To be continued.) )
