Rod did leave the Tianyin Kingdom, but he was not embarrassed to leave because he dug the corner of the Tianyin Sect, but because he got a rather urgent news temporarily.

When the mall system was opened, he exchanged a batch of one-time sound transmission crystals, that is, the blue crystal that Lot had in front of the table in the Tianyin Country villa, and he gave part of the sound transmission crystal to Wen Sa, and part of it was left in the Xuandao Cathedral, so that he could know in time when there was an emergency.

At that time, the sound transmission crystal shone brightly, and it was an urgent message from the Xuandao Cathedral.

Three days ago, the armies of the Moon Empire and the Tyrannosaurus Empire had arrived at the border of the Auckland Empire!

Although it is not clear why the Youyue Empire and the Tyrannosaurus Empire suddenly rose to the sword, Rhodes had to return, using the blue light retrospective bell to eliminate the cooldown time of any door, and Rhodes took Xia and Xiao Xiong to return directly to the Xuandao Cathedral.

Ize went to the land of the Sea Clan, Jelf temporarily served as the director of the council, and the affairs of Taoism were managed by the council of directors, after sending the news to Rod, Ize had already asked Arudiba, Aeolos and all the elders in Bluestone Town to be summoned and waited for Rod's arrival.

"What the hell is going on?"

Looking at the people around him, Rod's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice.

"Your Excellency the Pope, the reason why the Moon Empire and the Tyrannosaurus Empire started a war is that Auckland XIII had signed the Treaty of Noreen with them before he was seriously ill, promising to cede the territories of the three northern border provinces, but the Auckland Empire has not fulfilled the treaty for a long time. ”

Jelf was prepared, looked at Rod and said slowly,

"However, as far as we know, Auckland XIII directly gave the two empires a billion gold coins in exchange for the cession of the three provinces, although the specific regulations of the Treaty of Noreen will not be changed in time, but this is a recognized fact among the top leaders of the three empires. ”

"So, what's the real reason?"

Rod's expression did not change, and he said lightly.

The territory of the three provinces, this is indeed a lot of interest, but this definitely can't lead to such a battle between the two empires of the Youyue Empire and the Dragon Overlord Empire.

"Amethyst!"

Jelf was silent for a moment, then slowly spat out three words.

"How much?"

Hearing this, Rod's eyes also opened, and the essence flickered slightly.

Amethyst, this is an ore resource condensed by the aura of heaven and earth for thousands of years, not only does the effect of cultivating fighting qi and magic far exceed that of magic crystals, but all magic equipment needs to be integrated into amethyst to be successfully forged.

The reason why the purple gold coins circulating throughout the continent can have a strong credibility is not only because of the financial system jointly established by the four empires, but also because the purple gold coins are mixed with a small amount of amethyst, which ensures a high degree of value stability.

In addition, amethyst has many uses, and it can almost be said to be the most important strategic resource on the entire European continent, just like the oil on the earth.

"From the news from His Majesty Wen Sa, I know that this amethyst mine was inadvertently excavated by a tomb robber, located in the northern province of Crandiston, and after preliminary estimates, the amethyst ore contained in this amethyst mine is enough to 10 million tons!"

A blush appeared on Jelf's face, and he said with some excitement in his mouth.

Tens of millions of tons of amethyst!?

Rod's expression also changed slightly, if it is estimated according to the value of cash amethyst, tens of millions of tons of amethyst are worth at least hundreds of billions of gold coins.

However, this is only a conceptual number, the strategic value of amethyst, etc., is far more than 100 billion, not to mention tens of millions of tons of amethyst, even if it is a million tons of amethyst, Rhodes believes that the Moon Empire and the Dragon Overlord Empire are willing to start a war for this.

Of course, this is based on the imbalance of power between the two sides, the Oakland Empire has always given the impression of the other three empires as a weak country, although the other three empires were eyed by the original Pope Rhodes's enthronement ceremony, but the external image of the Oakland Empire has not improved much.

Therefore, the Dark Moon Empire and the Dragon Overlord Empire did not have much to worry about launching this war.

"By the way, what's the situation on the Empire of Light?"

Rod frowned slightly, then looked at Jelf and asked.

"Neither our people nor His Majesty Wen Sa's people have found out about the Bright Empire. ”

Jelf shook his head slightly, and said slowly,

"It's not so much that there is no news, but that the Bright Empire has not made the slightest move so far. ”

Didn't make a move, or did you sit back and wait for the fisherman's will? Or did you have some other idea?

"What's the situation with the Dark Cult and the Dragon God Cult?"

After a moment of silence, Rhodes didn't continue to dwell on the question of the Empire of Light, and then continued to ask.

"Your Excellency, as far as we know, the Dark Cult and the Dragon God Cult are also involved in this war, and they have also sent a large number of cultists. ”

Gerf first glanced at the people around him, then looked at Rod, and said in a deep voice.

"Oh? ”

Rod's eyebrows raised slightly, and then he said with a smile,

"In what name did they go on the expedition?"

The secular world and the religious world are two completely different concepts, and the secular world cannot interfere in the internal affairs of the religious world, and vice versa, as in the past, when Rhodes waged a holy war, it was the sectarian association that could interfere with it, not the royal family.

Of course, there are some ways that the two can influence each other, such as the previous battle for the throne in the imperial capital of Auckland, where the sect can interfere with the will of the gods.

And this time the battle was purely a battle of secular interests between the three empires, and the religious community was not allowed to intervene.

"The Cult of Darkness and the Cult of the Dragons claim that their gods, the Dark God and the Dragon God, have descended on the three northern provinces of our Oakland Empire and left miracles there, and that the three provinces should be the places of divine presence belonging to their two religions, so they will wage a holy war to take back the land of divine presence for their gods. ”

There was a hint of disdain on Jelf's face, and then he said coldly,

"They even took out so-called historical documents to prove their claims, which is really unbearable. ”

Rod couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect that the Dark Sect and the Dragon God Sect would launch a holy war in such a name, although it was shameless, but it was reasonable in name.

"Still, that's fine. ”

Immediately, Rod's eyes narrowed slightly, he smiled faintly, and said slowly,

"Our Taoist meddling is not a rule-breaking......"
