Chapter 240: The Big Question

The large print in the newspaper is quite succinct.

"Last night, an angel descended on the Dorok Library and attacked the Grand Magister Ptolemy Neptunesius, who was in the midst of an academic conference, causing a large amount of damage to the building, which was later routed with the assistance of the Eastern Continent Wizard Mission. The cause of the accident is under investigation, and the Imperial Council is currently actively communicating with the Church of Light, so please stay tuned for follow-up news. ”

But the more concise it is, the more it says about the seriousness of the problem.

In the more than 2,000 years of recorded history of the Glorious Continent, although the number of angels appearing cannot be said to be frequent, it is not particularly uncommon, such as the Holy Advent Day of the holy city of Oranste every four years, and angels often descend to the mortal world to bring blessings to people. But if it is the angel of judgment and not the angel of blessing, it can only mean one thingβ€”the big deal.

The Angel of Judgment represents the Goddess of Light, or the will of the Church of Light, and no matter how strong its ability is, whether it can beat the Great Magister who is the top fighting power of Duolun, what really cares about it is that it represents a simple and chilling attitude. That is: the Church of Light is going to attack Ptolemy's Archmage.

In fact, from the earliest times, Su Wen had a vague sense that Ptolemy's shocking invention would touch the core interests of certain groups. After all, the world is finite, and the birth of new things will inevitably represent the death of old things, and old things will never sit idly by and watch their losses. At first, Su Wen guessed that there would be strong resistance to the appearance of the magician world in the Eastern Continent, because if according to Ptolemy's vision, the threshold for elemental control would be greatly lowered, which would lead to the loss of the power of the magician class, but then the Magician Association not only did not raise objections, but instead sent a large number of respected scholars to the Duolun Empire to study, he understood that he was probably overthinking.

But I'm afraid that just like everyone else, Su Wen never thought that the real resistance would come from the Church of Light, which was far away in the sky!

The two superpowers, the Church of Light and the Wizards' Association, have been incompatible since ancient times, and it was only during the race war 500 years ago that they had to cooperate because of the general situation. That period can be said to be the honeymoon period between the church and the magician forces, but now hundreds of years have passed since the race war, and the relationship between the two has long since changed from brothers in life and death to the appearance of gods and goddesses to the initial open and secret fighting, especially in recent decades, there have been more and more border frictions and faith conflicts, and many agreements on mutual assistance have been canceled one after another, although there have been no large-scale conflicts or even wars in history so far, but if it continues to develop, no one can say what will happen.

For example, who could have expected this emergency?

That's right, the Duolun Empire is located in the eastern part of the continent, which belongs to the middle area between the forces of the Church of Light and the forces of magicians, and on the surface it is an independent monarchical empire. If yesterday's angel descended anywhere in the Eastern Continent, it could basically be regarded as the Church of Light's declaration of war against the Magician Guild, but if it appeared in the Duolun Empire, there was no such concern. Having said that, anyone with common sense will know that the Duolun Empire looks like an independent monarchy, but in fact it is the Mage Council that really holds the power, although these magicians belong to the Empire and not the Mage Guild, but after all, they are all family, and the Mage Guild definitely has all aspects of support for the Council.

Under this premise, especially when the visiting group from the Eastern Continent was still there, the Church of Light's Angel of Judgment suddenly descended on Doroke, although it was not serious enough to directly declare war, and its significance was no less than a slap in the face to the Wizards Association. It's nice to see that the news angel was eliminated, otherwise it wasn't just a slap, but a slap and a ride on the head to pee.

And although the words are unknown, Su Wen can also guess what kind of battle Dorok experienced yesterday.

As far as Su Wen knew, the weakest Winged Judgment Angel also had a combat power close to that of the Great Magus, and the Four-Winged Angel was three levels higher than the Winged Angel, which first appeared at the end of the Race War, and came up to single-handedly challenge the strongest person of the Elf race at that time - Shirune Chaser, the elven prince who was still famous in the world, and killed it perfectly.

It can be said that the Four-Winged Judgment Angel, five hundred years ago, was equivalent to invincibility, and although it is a little backward today, it is easy to suppress or even defeat any Great Magus.

Perhaps only a few Dharma Gods in the Eastern Continent could compete with it.

Su Wen flipped through the newspaper and found that there were detailed statistics on the matter at the back, the library in the inner city of Dorok had long been in ruins by this time, and the aftermath of the battle had led to hundreds of casualties, and King Prinzaridon comforted the wounded overnight and vowed to seek justice for the dead. Pity this old emperor in recent months for this kind of thing, first the undead natural disaster in the city of Tridis in the western part of the empire, then the outbreak of demonic beasts and the crossing of dragons, and not long after that, there was a terrorist attack in the Iron Furnace Province, and now there is a wave of unsettled, and a super gift angel has come. Now it seems that Su Wen always feels that there is a smell of mountains and rains coming and the wind is full of buildings, and with the special geographical location of the Duolun Empire, it is just like the center of a huge whirlpool......

At this time, Su Wen suddenly remembered something.

"Pit dad system, you should know this kind of thing will happen, right?"

It was a long time before he got a response.

"Of course I do, host. ”

"You should have reminded me of it, not for me to suddenly see it in the newspaper. ”

The system asked, "Do you want to face the four-winged angel?"

"No, I mean, you'd better confess to me everything that will happen in the future, as well as the pattern of the Brilliant Continent, otherwise are you going to keep playing dumb riddles with me without me knowing?"

"I can't say, host, maybe you can't believe that when the future is known early, it will bring great disaster. You should be well prepared for it, and then you will know everything. ”

"That won't get me away. ”

"Then I can reveal one thing to the host: what is happening now is not exactly the same as the future as I know it, for Ptolemy should have been dead and not wounded in yesterday's attack. The system's voice was calm and unemotional, "This is not in my plans, and it is unknown what impact it will have on the future that has not yet happened." From now on, the future as I know it may have been completely changed, it is worthless, because the effect of the butterfly effect has begun to emerge and is expanding. ”

Su Wen was silent for a long time.

"You mean, I'm the butterfly?"

"Exactly. ”
