Now there is a curfew every day at night in the royal capital, but this does not stop Xiao Chen from moving outside. He delivered a message through special channels in the city in the afternoon. Before nightfall, I came to the tavern in the civilian area, near the banks of the Legon River. He had met with Roland, the priest of the royal capital, here last winter, and today he was waiting in this tavern.

It was still the second floor leaning against the railing, Xiao Chen leaned on the back of the chair, fiddling with the wooden cup in his hand, but he was thinking about his heart.

Beside him, Roger sat quietly and made no sound. This time Caterina didn't come, and she went to find out a key piece of information again, but this time she was accompanied by Caranda and Glade, so she was much more sure of security.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Chen spoke: "The enemy has completed the search and investigation of the noble area, and they have already started to search the merchant area last night. The scope of our activities is getting smaller and smaller. ”

"The commander of the operation was very organized. If it weren't for their internal discord and inability to mobilize sufficient resources, we would be in a much more dangerous position now. Roger said.

"It's dangerous enough now, and if we continue like this, they'll soon find where we're hiding. So we have to come here today and be ready for what will happen next. ”

"Your Excellency...... , is Roland really reliable?"

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Roland has his own position, Gibran is a priest of the Divine Advent Sect, and he is completely inconsistent with interests. I don't think he'll act on Gibran's position after his death. As for the risks, they have come to this point, how can you not take risks when you come out to do things. ”

Roger nodded in agreement.

The two waited for about an hour. Two people dressed as civilians came into the tavern, none other than Roland and Garneau.

Roland looked at Xiao Chen, smiled slightly, walked up to the second floor from below, and sat next to Xiao Chen and Garneau.

"I didn't expect you to come back at this time. Roland asked the boss to bring two drinks and snacks, leaned back in his chair and said, "But since you're here, it's even better." I've been speculating a lot about who the next big drama will be. Originally, I thought it was Luo Ling's, but now that it's you, I think it's more suitable. Because you are more daring than she is, and it is easier to surprise people. ”

"Big play?" Xiao Chen took a sip of wine and asked rhetorically.

"Isn't it? Before you came, Luo Ling's people alone might not have been able to break through, but now that you and Luo Ling converge, it can be said that there are many masters. With the strength of you people, if you want to get together and force your way through, the princess's people may not be able to stop you. On the one hand, the guardian knights of the Thousand Thousand Sword Saints and the princess were seriously injured, and on the other hand, the rest of the people could not be stopped in one place forever, as long as you found a breakthrough, you were still sure to rush out.

Now that you are delaying your departure, you must have other plans. ”

Xiao Chen said: "Before I say my plan, there are two questions that I need to ask. ”

"Say it. ”

"We still don't understand, what conditions Gibran brought, said that so many magicians betrayed, and still tie the princess to them?"

Roland held up a finger and said, "An oracle!" The oracle said: If the mages give up their opposition to the gods, then they will be forgiven by the gods when they awaken, and the gods of nature will let them preserve their power by bestowing them with the power of the priesthood. ”

Xiao Chen was shocked by this news, and he opened his eyes wide and asked, "Oracle, could it be that the God of Nature has really awakened?" But I obviously ruined his plan to absorb the energy of the World Tree in the Elven Kingdom, so I should have delayed his awakening. ”

"So you did it...... , sure enough, I didn't misread you. There was a bit of sarcasm in Roland's words, "Those guys have been busy for ten years, and you have completely canceled it out with one action, and if this matter is known to the fellows of the Divine Arrival, they will definitely want to chop you to pieces." ”

Seeing that Xiao Chen was puzzled, Roland said, "If you compare God to a seriously injured and unconscious person, and you want him to say a few words, what should you do?"

"I will definitely give him all kinds of elixirs to restore his energy, and then try to wake him up when the time is right. Xiao Chen said.

"That's right, that's what the Divine Presence has been doing for the last ten years. In the main hall of the Temple of Nature, there is an altar where the gods can communicate with the gods, and before the battle of the gods, the agents of the gods of nature on earth used this place to offer sacrifices to the gods of nature, and also listen to the oracles of the gods of nature. However, since the gods of nature fell asleep again after the Battle of the Godslayer, the temple has not received any clear information. ”

Xiao Chen keenly noticed the word clear: "In other words, there is also vague information?"

"It can't be called a message, it's God snoring or talking in a dream. Roland chuckled, "Ten years ago, the priests of the Divine Presence found that the gods of nature began to make more noises and were able to start collecting sacrifices again, something that had not been done for thousands of years, so they began to consider whether they could awaken the gods of nature earlier. They collected a large number of hedrons and offered them to the gods of nature. Apparently this is working, and God's feedback is increasing. They also prayed earnestly for God's awakening. But at this time, the priests of the worldly sect secretly did something else.

To know. The altar was guarded by several priests in turn, and our priest of Alcalá prayed to the gods during his own time of duty, saying that the world should not be deprived of all magic, but that the powerful should be given divine power, and that the gods who follow the strong will be great. He instilled these ideas in the sleeping gods over and over again, which led to the later oracle. ”

"It was the priests of the Modernist sect who concocted this oracle? I thought that according to the position of the Modernists, I didn't want God to wake up so soon. ”

"Nothing can have one plan, right, if God wakes up unstoppably, then at least we can still have our own power. Moreover, even if we have a similar view of the awakening of God, it does not mean that we will consider the problem from the position of the mage. Roland said very directly.

"Do you think this oracle is the will of the god of nature himself?" Xiao Chen asked.

"I don't know. But the most critical problem is that the Divine Presence has also seized the opportunity to use this vague oracle as a tool to destroy the alliance between mages. The result is really tragic, whether it is the Royal Magic Tower or the Kingdom Magic Association, they have been turned upside down by a fluttering word. ”
