Chapter 241: The Holy Light Needs an Enemy
The time of Doroke's attack was nine o'clock in the evening, which means that Su Wen had just contacted Carlito on the front foot, and the back foot had changed.
Su Wen tried to contact Carlito again, and as expected, the communication that was normal last night seemed to sink into the sea early this morning, and did not receive any response.
Su Wen's face gradually became solemn.
"I don't care if Ptolemy is dead or alive, to put it bluntly, no matter how much he will change the course of history, he is not my father. What really concerns people is the attitude of the Church of Light towards this kind of thing, they obviously don't want to see magic spread and power in the hands of the majority of people - so, should I be worried? After all, it seems to outsiders that I've been relatively close to the archmage during this time. โ
"Unfortunately, I can't give you good advice on this matter. But for a few years, the Duolun Empire should be a relatively safe place. โ
"That means it won't be in a few years, right? โ
โ......โ
Su Wen didn't expect the cheat system to explain to him in much detail, but this matter itself was already able to explain many problems. The fact that the Church of Light has placed the Angel of Judgment within the sphere of influence of the Wizards' Guild speaks for itselfโdid they really just want to take Ptolemy's life? Of course not, even if they did, the things he had released would have been overwhelmed. Even, if Ptolemy's magic pool is really as good as he described, it won't be long before countless Ptolemys will spring up in the Wizards' Association, will the Church of Light be eradicated one by one?
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that the appearance of the angel this time has more significance than to express an attitude.
That was the veto from the Church of Light.
Of course, the urine nature of the former will definitely explain that this is the will of the Goddess of Light, and the will of the Goddess of Light is the mission of their right to carry out.
It's the same as not saying anything, but that's the seriousness of the matter, the most different thing between the Church of Light and the Wizards' Guild is that they have the Goddess of Light, a golden sign that will not fade for thousands of years, and no matter what they want to do, they can easily find a high-sounding excuse to convince the believers of the rationality of what they are doing. And through this incident, Ptolemy and his invention were characterized as enemies of the Goddess of Light, as they had always done, and they were able to successfully force the Wizards' Guild to make a choice: whether to do the same thing as Ptolemy and become an enemy of the Church of Light?
In this way, Ptolemy just happened to be the fuse of friction between the two superpowers, in other words, the first bird of the gun, the small feud between the Church of Light and the Wizards' Guild has been going on for hundreds of years, and there is a lack of something to escalate the conflict.
In fact, this is not the first time that the Church of Light has done this.
In history, the Church of Light has had three occasions when it took the initiative because of the arrival of angels, and each time it was a major event that was enough to shake the entire continent.
The first of these was the "Disaster Messenger of Wren" incident in 873 of the Glorious Calendar, which was the largest undead natural disaster in the history of the Glorious Continent, and although two thousand years have passed, the terrifying experience recorded in it is still shocking to this day.
The horror of that catastrophe was due to the fact that a death mage named Wren happened to absorb the power of the undead monarch when he summoned the undead monarch in the ancient Lanton Empire in the southern continent, and instead of being devoured by the undead monarch, he formed a powerful monster with a twisted soul of human wisdom and evil after fusion. If this monster is put to the present, I am afraid that a few outstanding magic masters can be easily solved, but at that time, it was a living demon god of destruction, and in just a few years, the undead army led by it destroyed almost all the resistance forces in the southern continent, so that the church and the magician association of the southern continent at that time suffered heavy casualties, and the lives of ordinary people were devastated, dozens of countries fell one after another, and nearly half of the continent became a paradise for the undead and monsters.
But this is not the most terrifying, the most terrifying thing is that Wren does not only know killing like other undead kings, he has an even greater ambition, that is, to establish his own undead empire in the southern continent, and then gradually encroach and annex it to the surrounding areas after it is stabilized. However, due to the fact that in the process of conquest of the Southern Continent, the church from the west has always been in a state of shrinking eggs in resistance, which can be said to be a one-touch collapse, and the more powerful Magician Association at that time did not admit defeat, fought tenaciously to the end and suffered heavy casualties, so Wren's strategic focus was naturally on the Eastern Continent, intending to take it down in one go, and then slowly turn around and slowly solve the soft persimmon in the west.
But unexpectedly, just when Wren and his men were full of ambition, several winged angels appeared in his lair without warning and slew them with thunder. After that, the Church of Light was greatly emboldened, and desperately mobilized all forces to launch a counterattack and defuse the crisis.
This battle is known as the First Church Crusade in history, and it is also the first time that the Angel of Judgment has actually appeared, and it has drawn a strong mark in the history of the Church, but the Magicians Guild is hating it. In their opinion, having this strength and watching the fire from across the shore is completely because the Church of Light uses the undead natural disaster to eliminate dissidents, so after the restoration of peace on the mainland, the two forces not only did not coexist in harmony anymore, but instead created an irreparable estrangement. The mage associations that were originally scattered all over the country also united to establish the country of mages in the Eastern Continent, and since then it has been separated from the Church of Light across the barren land and the northern and southern continents, and this situation has continued until today, two thousand years later.
Well, if the Church of Light this time is still a passive counterattack as a whole, after all, it is a natural disaster of the undead, then the next two are a bit intriguing.
The enemy of the Second Church Crusade was no longer the undead, but the dragon that most people could not have imagined at the time - the dragon! The dragon at the beginning was different from now, it was completely above the human being, and it had absolute power over all other creatures, just like the lion and tiger in the primeval jungle, it was not as majestic as it is now, but in fact it had already been locked in a cage.
To say that this time it is not the dragon to take the initiative to make trouble, in fact, as long as it is not actively provoked, the dragon is not a creature that slaughters the city and destroys the state without saying a word, but is more like a self-sufficient big lizard with a bit of collecting habits, although its attitude towards humans is indeed to treat ants, but it is also the most interesting ant on the continent, many dragons will even incarnate as humans to travel through the world, and there are unspoken rules that cannot destroy the order of human beings. On the other hand, most of the evil dragons in history have a tragic history, either stolen by humans, or humans stole eggs, or were killed by humans.
Until one day, a blue dragon named Atola, when he appeared in human form in the Arilanda city of the Church of Garrion on the Western Continent, was attacked by a sudden Angel of Judgment. The dragon Atola then took dragon form and fought back, and although she was able to defeat the Angel of Judgment with her great strength, she was also seriously wounded herself, causing heavy casualties among the civilians of Arilanda. After that, the Church of Light demanded that Yongsan, which was still in existence at the time, hand over Atola because it was designated an absolute heresy by the Goddess of Light and must be destroyed, but was refused.
Then the dragon was declared war by the Church of Light.
As if in preparation for many years, thousands of crusaders set out from the Holy City, led by countless church powerhouses, and attacked one of the largest forbidden places of mankind at that time: hundreds of dragons lived, and the largest and only gathering place of the dragon clan at that time - Dragon Mountain. After the arduous war, the Church of Light paid a huge price, but correspondingly, more than ninety percent of the dragons completely disappeared from the Glorious Continent.
Since then, the dragon has become a rare species.
As for the third one, it was the race war that everyone was familiar with.
There is a theory that the real initiator of the race war is actually the Church of Light, but the orcs have taken the lead. At the beginning, the elves and orcs mainly lived in the northern continent and the northern part of the eastern and western continents, among which the orcs were in contact with the ruling area of the Church of Light, although the relationship between the three races was not very friendly, and even there were conflicts for a long time, but in general, they maintained trade exchanges, at least on the surface, it didn't look like it was easy to break out into war. Until one day in the year 2201 of the Glorious Calendar, the Angel of Judgment appeared in the Thundertooth tribe of the Orcs and killed the leader of the tribe, which had been notorious for plundering human caravans for a long time.
The Church of Light immediately asked the orcs to hand over the rest of the Thundertooth tribe for trial, but they didn't expect that the orc kingdom at that time had already swelled its ambitions, and in fact, it had already stationed millions of soldiers and sharpened its knives. The two immediately hit it off, like dry wood touching fire, vigorously opened the chapter of the hundred-year-long racial war, and then the Wizards Association and the Elves were involved in this war, along with nearly 100 countries of all sizes, and the result of the war was that the Church of Light and the Magician Association united again, and mankind was victorious, and finally formed the pattern of today's glorious continent.
So......
Now that the fourth uninvited Angel of Judgment has come, will it be the same as the previous three, followed by a war that is enough to shake the continent?
With the urine nature of the Church of Light, it is really not impossible, it depends on whether they will bring the Magicians Association in this way, and what the reaction of the Magicians Association is. Ptolemy did not belong to the Wizards' Association, but strictly speaking, he was a member of the Wizards' Association, and the Church of Light should not be unaware of this, and if they chose to attack him, they should have gone to the Wizards' Association.
Su Wen felt that there was no way to escape what should come, and the so-called future catastrophe of the pit father system, if it was only a few years away from now, I am afraid that it would have already emerged at this time.
